"Mencius Wan Zhang 1" records that in the past, fish were fed to Zheng Zichan, who was responsible for the pond of people and animals.
When the school staff cooked it, they responded by saying, "When I first put it down, it was just like a piece of cake. When I left it, it was like a piece of cake. But then it passed away."
Zichan said: "You have found what you want! You have found what you want!"
The schoolmaster came out and said, "Who is it that you are born with wisdom? After I cooked it and ate it, I said, 'You've got it! You've got it!'"
Therefore, a gentleman can deceive others, but it is difficult to ignore them.
This is a bit deceptive, but one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The Supreme Emperor and Mr. Wei have been getting along with each other for a lifetime, and the two have long had a good understanding.
He could understand the other party's plan with a simple movement and a look. After the Supreme Emperor issued the decree, Wei Qinghe immediately bowed and thanked him with a smile, and then went to the study to ask his son to write a letter to the disciples from all directions.
To shake people, you must shake them.
There are many Kong family members in Qufu, but the old man is not alone.
If he wanted to compete with a thousand-year-old family like the Qufu Kong family, the old man would not have much confidence unless he gathered a hundred and eighty people.
On the second day of Xiu Mu, the Ministry of Rites drafted an imperial edict to grant rewards, which was stamped with a large jade seal in the palace and named by the cabinet. It was quickly sent to the Wei Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion. A group of forbidden troops escorted Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who went to Jiangnan to deliver the edict. , heading south as quickly as possible.
Wei Qinghe strongly supported Jia Cong's innovative method of sentence reading. He was granted the title of Linjiang Marquis by Fengtian Yiyun, an honest and upright scholar, and instantly became the contemporary Wen Zong. In the eyes of scholars, the living Wen Zong has much higher prestige than the saint who has been dead for thousands of years. .
The Confucius Mansion in the capital was in mourning. As soon as Kong Xianglian returned home, he banned Kong Renjing, who had offended the future crown prince and the Rongguo Mansion, from his home, and at the same time wrote a letter to Shandong.
Of course, Kong Xianglian did not just write letters to Yanshenggong Kong Renxuan. He wrote more than a dozen letters in total, mostly from close elders in the clan and people from the Kong family's concubine branch.
"The Kong family has reached its most critical juncture. If we don't make changes, we will be in danger of overthrowing!"
How to change? The future prince has said that it is time for me, Kong Xianglian, to step up to the front and take the seat of the talker of the Kong family.
After the Second Saint appeared in the Wei Mansion, the emperor was in good health. Originally, the ministers thought that they would be able to see the Saint's face at the court meeting the next day. However, what they did not expect was that at the court meeting the next day, the person who presided over the meeting in Fengtian Palace was still the same. It is Liu Hong, the fourth son of the emperor.
Grandpa Tian, Master Emperor, please come back quickly. This son of yours is really difficult to take care of!
Compared to the benevolent Emperor and the straight-tempered current emperor, the fourth prince, who weighs about a hundred pounds and weighs ninety-nine pounds, is simply a nightmare for these salted fishes.
"Ministry of Staff, Metropolitan Procuratorate, what does the imperial court feed you? How many times have I told you that every grain distributed must be used for the victims. There are still people who dare to be corrupt in the capital. If it hadn't been sent by Long Jinwei, Here's the news, thousands of kilo of food will be eaten up by corrupt officials."
"Ministry of Works, Xuanfu has sent four urging memorials in January. When will the craftsmen who repair the city be sent there? Do you have to wait until the police break into Xuanfu before your people from the Ministry of Works can be ready?"
"Under the emperor's feet, the ***'s envoys dare to rob people's property, and Shuntian Mansion and the Five City Army and Horses Department actually collude with Xini? What a bastard! Just drop the words here, and immediately, immediately take down the people and rob people's property Those beasts shall be punished according to law.”
"You have a salary and a salary, and the people support the people. The people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully. The people have worked hard for a year and paid taxes to support the officials. They are not just for you to sit in the yamen and drink tea leisurely. From today on, the Central Committee An inspection team is drawn up and stationed in various ministries and monasteries, the Chief Envoys' Department, the Punishment and Prosecution Department, and the yamen of each state. All officials who are lazy and negligent in their administration should get out!"
"Guhui will ask my father to make this policy a routine!"
After the meeting, the civil and military officials who held their breath and dared not speak breathed a long sigh of relief after walking out of Fengtian Hall.
The mournful civil and military officials missed the cold-faced emperor Liu Heng extremely. Compared with the current emperor, the fourth prince was too terrible.
For the first time, they felt that the prince was too wise and had some disadvantages. The fourth prince, who was full of scheming and scheming, tormented hundreds of officials, which was really hard to get used to.
"My lords, please stay..."
While the important ministers were whispering, Xia Shouzhong walked out of Fengtian Hall.
I saw Xia Shouzhong flicking the dust in his hand, and said to everyone with a smile: "Your Highness said that the salaries of our officials have not increased for almost a hundred years since the time of Taizu. The ministers have worked hard on behalf of the herdsmen, and they have made great achievements. How can the imperial court not sympathize with it? Capital City It is difficult to live in such a difficult situation, and His Highness has asked the Emperor to reset his salary. From today on, the salary of civil and military officials in the DPRK will be increased by 30%. Those who excel in the official assessment at the end of the year will receive year-end rewards."
The atmosphere in front of the Fengtian Palace was filled with excitement, and all the ministers cheered.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
"Your Majesty is Holy, Your Highness is Holy!"
"Fourth brother, you're having a great time hitting a stick and giving me a sweet date!"
Jia Cong put down the Analects of Confucius in his hand and slumped down on his chair. Daiyu picked up the cat teasing stick and tapped him on the head.
"The Fourth Highness is familiar with classics and history, so he can do things with ease. If you don't study hard, you will not be fooled by those adults in the court in the future."
Daiyu has been paying close attention to Jia Cong's studies recently. She wakes him up from bed at dawn every morning. Before breakfast, he must memorize a passage from the classics, then eat and rest for an hour before teaching the classics and meanings.
After lunch, rest for half an hour, practice calligraphy for an hour, and then practice martial arts for an hour. It's time to finish eating.
You mean playing? Practicing martial arts is just about playing.
"Brother Cong, you are already ten years old. You are actually eleven years old. Now that you have grown up, you have to get rid of vulgar tastes. You see how interesting it is to read and practice calligraphy..."
This time, with the Emperor's instructions, Jia Cong was unable to act cute and cute. He even complained to the Grand Pardon Master, but the Grand Pardon Master rewarded him a few times.
He beat her and gave Daiyu a ruler...
"Girl, just fight, if you can't learn, then you will die to learn!"
hiss!
Did I pick it up from the trash can?
The emperor was in disgrace, but the four princes were busy teasing the civil and military officials. The capital in winter was rarely full of vitality.
The old cases in the counties under Shuntian Prefecture disappeared quickly, and the people even sent several Qingtian plaques to prefecture and county officials.
The Pardon Master and Thirteenth Master Liu Ke guarded the palace gate conscientiously until October 18th, when the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor drove back to the palace and took away the virtuous concubine Yuanchun who had been staying in the provincial garden for twelve days.
Early on the next morning, the holy driver started from Daxia Gate, went straight to Yongding Gate, exited the capital and turned northwest, making a mighty journey.
The emperor specially ordered Wei Qinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, to lead the military aircraft, and Qi Bohan and Chu Bangzheng, the cabinet ministers, stayed in Beijing to assist.
The second assistant Zhou Jiong and the assistant minister Xia Lingxing were accompanied by Wen Tongxuan, the minister of household affairs, Cai Quan, the minister of punishment, and Lu Yang, the censor of Zuodu, Duchayuan.
Most of the royal family members and nobles of the imperial family in Beijing were ordered to accompany them. The carriages of the nobles stretched for several miles. Jia She was ordered to lead 20,000 elite guards of the forbidden army.
Because there were many female dependents in the accompanying team, the forward speed slowed down. Traveling more than ten or twenty miles a day was already an incredible speed, and we had just arrived at the foot of Shijing Mountain at nightfall.
After another day of running around, we finally arrived at the Xishan Camp as the sun set.
When the Dragon Imperial Guard came to report, the princes of Oara and Tatar, the princes and princes of various vassals, and the chief generals of the towns in Jiubian all arrived at the Tiewen Mountain camp to wait for the holy driver.
The holy order was given to camp on the spot and recharge their batteries.
Jia She was called to the imperial tent. The Emperor was in high spirits and not tired at all from the trek.
There were only two saints, two princes and their own son in the tent. After Jia She greeted him, the emperor said: "Henghou, in this martial arts performance at Tieweng Mountain, can the tiger and the Benn scare the emperor and the vassals?"
With a snap, Jia She straightened his back and saluted solemnly.
He hammered the armor on his chest with his fist: "Your Majesty, don't worry, three thousand tiger warriors will definitely intimidate all directions!"
Dong dong dong, woo woo woo...
On October 21st, just after the third quarter of the day, the warmth of the morning sun spread in all directions, the grass on Tienwang Mountain had already withered, and the originally bleak winter became noisy.
War drums and horns sounded in unison, and the royal family members, civil and military ministers, and Wa who arrived at the Royal Hunting Ground at Tiewang Mountain earlier.
The princes of the Tatars, princes and princes of the vassal kingdoms, the accompanying delegation, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial army responsible for the security of the hunting grounds all bowed down.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Liu Heng helped the Supreme Emperor get out of the carriage, and the ministers bowed again: "I, the ministers (foreign ministers), pay homage to the sage (Tian Khan), and pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Although the Supreme Emperor had made the Tatars and Walas unable to take care of themselves, the great military power of the Celestial Dynasty had caused three generations of Khans to be replaced in the grassland, and the reputation of the Celestial Khans had not weakened even a little.
The princes and envoys of Tatar and Oara all knelt down respectfully and offered the most precious gifts to His Majesty the Khan.
As for the heads of the vassal states, some of them clearly showed unwillingness and ambition in their eyes. Especially Goryeo, Gaochang and the Duohaojixi tribe from the Western Regions.
Naturally, the so-called emperor of Japan did not come. The people of the mission were thrown at the back of the feudal queue by the Ministry of Rites. The people of the mission looked around, and they were all horrified after seeing the mighty soldiers of the imperial army.
"Are Chinur and Si Lin still alive?"
Since the Supreme Emperor beat the two Oara Tatars to the point where they could no longer take care of themselves, the two Khans have been replaced by three in the past thirty years.
But there are two people who have always been the evergreen trees of Oara and Tatar, that is, Oara's national advisor Qinur and Tatar's Xiangsi Lin.
However, the old Khan of Wala died in the hands of his nephew last year. As an emperor and a courtier, Chinur was imprisoned in a sheep pen. According to the news from the Dragon Guard secret agents, after a fire, he was originally imprisoned in the sheep pen. There was no trace of Chinur in the sheepfold.
In contrast, Si Lin was much more comfortable. He is still a guest of the Tatar Khan's tent and has served as the Tatar Prime Minister for twenty years.
It's just that Si Lin is much older than the Supreme Emperor. Based on time calculation, he is estimated to be seventy-three years old.
Kubalie, the prince of King Walasin, bowed and replied: "To inform His Majesty the Great Khan, Chinur's soul has returned to the Immortal Heaven and cannot come to see His Majesty the Great Khan."
"His Majesty Huitian Khan, the Prime Minister is seriously ill and cannot travel far. He asked his foreign ministers to pay tribute to His Majesty the Great Tian Khan, and said that after the cold spring of next year, he would go to the capital to see the great His Majesty the Tian Khan."
The prince of Tatar, Suhe, was young and could be the same age as Liu Hong. He respectfully presented the two letters: "This is a letter written by the Prime Minister to His Majesty the Khan and the Emperor. I hope that His Majesty the Khan and the Emperor can take pity on the people on your grassland and open mutual trade as soon as possible."
"Look, this little Tatar prince is not simple!"
Liu Hong whispered in Jia Cong's ear: "The Tatars have a new Khan Queen. Not only have they stopped intruding on our border, but once a year, they keep saying that they are the people of Daxia on the grasslands. This time the mutual market was probably planned as early as three years ago.”
"It's a good thing not to fight, but we can't let down our guard. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Unless the Tatars completely become a province of my country and let me march towards the army, I will never let down my guard. .”
Jia Cong and Liu Hong whispered for a long time, and the tedious interview process was finally completed.
After the Holy Emperor entered the camp gate, he walked straight to the imperial tent that had been set up long ago. The burning stove dispelled the coldness on his body.
As soon as the Supreme Emperor entered the imperial tent, he frowned and said to the emperor: "Go and tell Zhou Jiong, Zhang Yue, Jia She, Cao Jiugong..."
"Father, what's going on?"
The Supreme Emperor said in a deep voice: "There must have been big changes in the grassland that we don't know about. Chinur can't die so easily. It's related to the overall situation of mutual trade. Si Lin will not miss me because of a minor illness. These two people They all stay on the grassland, something must be holding them back."
Chinur and Si Lin were both old rivals of the Supreme Emperor, and one of his back-up men who deliberately stayed in the grassland.
Even if Tatar and Oara were about to be destroyed, they could not unanimously speak to the outside world because of the existence of these two people.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
Daxia only wanted them to pay tribute, but the other party wanted to annex itself so that they could recreate the golden age of the Golden Family.
Although the emperor could not understand the Supreme Emperor's rare intuition, he still sent orders to the generals and ministers to come to the imperial tent.
After Zhang Yue finished reading Si Lin’s
After writing the letter, my first instinct was surprisingly consistent with that of the Supreme Emperor.
"Si Lin is definitely not too ill to come back. He was held back by someone."
Zhang Yue handed the letter to Zhou Jiong who was sitting next to him: "Mr. Zhou Ge should know that Xi Lin is a person. Mutual trade is a wish that Si Lin has not been able to realize for more than 20 years. This winter's alliance is the best way to realize his wish." A chance to get close, but the so-called foot disease unreasonably hindered his way south."
"Yes, wind and cold are more convincing than foot disease. I still remember when he rejected Wala's invitation to form an alliance..."
Ah!
Zhou Jiong laughed and said, "It is difficult to walk due to foot illness. These four words made Qinur, the national counselor of Wala, so swollen in the face. The envoys of the two countries live in the same hall, but they cannot form an alliance due to foot illness. How interesting!"
"After I saw the word "foot disease" in the letter, I felt that Si Lin was hinting to me that there were changes in the grassland!"
After getting the approval of Zhang Yue and Zhou Jiong, the Supreme Emperor's confidence greatly increased.
He snorted coldly and continued: "Qinur is more cunning than Si Lin. Si Lin was able to survive three kings without falling. There is no reason for the slave sons to kill their relatives and seize the throne, and not immediately lose their power. The national preceptor killed him but put him in a sheepfold, unless he was a fool. I am very sure that Qinur is not dead. He must be preparing something, and the person who is holding Si Lin back from going south is most likely. he!"
