Chapter 78: Encounter
Princess Yan said: "Okay. Just show your filial piety. In fact, in my opinion, no matter what, our family is still the prince and the eldest brother of the prince. In fact, he also cares about us. I have also heard some, and I think it is not bad. Father The emperor has twenty sons, and the Ming Dynasty only has a dozen provinces. If each of them has several vassal kings, the common people in the world will not be able to survive. What is important is that the emperor will not be able to survive. When the father is here, They are all sons. When the eldest brother of the prince is here, they are all younger brothers. If the eldest brother of the prince is no longer here, then they are cousins. The emperor at that time had his own son, how to entitle his son. In short, it is a problem. It is better to be here Establishing a country in remote places is beyond the reach of the imperial court anyway. Places such as Japan, North Korea, and Annan did not last for a long time."
"Hmph." King Yan breathed out of his nose, not knowing what he meant.
He knew everything Princess Yan said. That's why King Yan didn't make a fuss or object. But I am not angry privately.
"Okay." Princess Yan said, "When will this matter be implemented? Has it been said yet?"
King Yan said: "My father's wish is that it is better to be quiet now and not to move. Today is just a matter of setting the rules. From now on, brothers, if you want to establish a vassal and a country, you must join the army. Work hard for the future, otherwise you will just wait to be a rich and idle person. Bar."
Princess Yan said: "That means it will take a few more years. Let's do it. You can accompany me to worship Buddha tomorrow. I'm leaving this time. I don't know when I can return to Nanjing."
King Yan said: "Okay."
Princess Yan stood up and blew out the lamp. The whole person lay in King Yan's arms and said: "Go to sleep quickly."
King Yan suddenly smiled and said, "I won't sleep anymore." He pressed Princess Yan down.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
King Yan accompanied Princess Yan to visit the temple in the capital, and as expected, they came to Tianjie Temple.
King Yan is not a woman, and it is very troublesome for women to worship Buddha, so King Yan just wanders around Tianjie Temple by himself. Tianjie Temple is a royal temple, and King Yan also came there often for consultation when he was young. In a daze, many years have passed. King Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Looking at Tianjie Mountain, some old things are still there, and some are no longer there. King Yan also felt melancholy for a while. Suddenly he saw a poem written on the wall: "The fragrant temple is at the end of the sky, and the red clouds are hugging the earth. The dragon and pan are newly awarded to the forehead, and the turtle is carrying the old monument. The golden palace is ringing in the wind, and the beaded pillars are shadowed by the moon. Looking at the morning blessing from a distance, Love Chunxi everywhere."
I don’t know why, but I think this poem is very well written.
It reflects the inner state of King Yan's heart, and the last two sentences also express the complicated feelings of King Yan towards his father. It seems to be in the heart of King Yan.
King Yan called to a young novice monk. Said: "Who wrote this poem?"
The young novice monk said: "This is written by Uncle Daoyan."
King Yan said: "Where is this monk Daoyan?"
The little novice monk said: "Uncle Daoyan has returned to secular life and become an official."
After hearing this, King Yan suddenly felt that something very important was missing. I was about to ask what the name of this Taoyan layman was? Where to work. But I heard the jingling accessories. But it was Princess Yan who came back. Princess Yan asked: "What is the prince doing?"
King Yan said: "The poem looks good."
Princess Yan looked at it carefully. Said: "It seems to be a very ordinary poem. I don't think there is anything good about it."
"Really?" King Yan looked at this poem again and suddenly felt that it was mediocre.
Many times, it's just like this. Sometimes a sentence or a poem suddenly comes into my mind, and I suddenly feel that it is a masterpiece of quatrains that is unique in the world. But when your mood changes, if you look at the original poem or sentence again, you will feel that it is inadequate.
But King Yan didn't know that the most important staff member in his life in history had passed him by.
------
Yao Guangxiao didn't know that he and his destined hero had missed each other. He was currently explaining to He Xi the changes in the Imperial College during this period.
Yao Guangxiao said, "After Mr. Liu Song took the throne of the Imperial College, Xiao Gui and Cao followed. The Imperial College has not changed much. Mingjiantang is doing everything in accordance with your opinions. However, the enrollment has increased a lot, and now the Imperial College students, Those who have entered Mingjian Hall are honored."
"Lord Liu, you have even chosen Yilun Hall as the location of Mingjiantang. After Mingjiantang is completed next year, we will move there."
He Xi said: "That's fine."
Yao Guangxiao now takes over Mingjiantang as He Xi's assistant. The reason is him. First of all, Yao Guangxiao is very knowledgeable. But the work ability is better. Scholar is just the most inconspicuous label on Yao Guangxiao. After He Xi left, Liu Song was first in charge of Mingjiantang. But Zhu Yuanzhang quickly decided that Liu Song would temporarily offer wine to the Imperial Academy.
This is also the most suitable person to work with He Xi.
Originally, all three assistants in Mingjiantang had opportunities. But Liu Song still chose Yao Guangxiao.
Because Su Boheng may not be as knowledgeable as his ancestor Su Dongpo, but he has learned a lot out of place. To put it nicely, it is the spirit of freedom and independent will. Never blindly follow your studies. It is precisely because of this that Su Boheng is a rebel under Cheng Zhuli's sect. But precisely because of this, it is better for Su Boxheng to be a purely academic officer. If he is really put in charge, it will be the beginning of disaster.
But Cheng Ruqi can do things. But it's a little worse than Yao Guangxiao.
Facts have proved that Liu Song made a good choice.
Yao Guangxiao not only continued to run Mingjiantang, but also ran it extremely well. He devoted himself to completing the plan left by He Xi and did not include anything personal in it. He Xi was particularly satisfied with this point.
After all, literature does not come first, and martial arts does not come second. There is no specific standard of measurement among literati. It is normal for everyone to include some of their own ideas when doing things. In He Xi's view, anything can be forgiven as long as it's not too biased.
But Yao Guangxiao is almost following He Xi's template. There is absolutely no personal belongings of my own.
For He Xi, it was an unexpected surprise.
But He Xi didn't know that in Yao Guangxiao's view, He Xi was also an unexpected surprise.
Yao Guangxiao didn't know that if he stayed in Tianjie Temple, he would have a chance. An opportunity to become King Yan's confidant began his magnificent life. But Yao Guangxiao is also full of ambition to make a difference at this moment.
Without him, he is already in his thirties.
In ancient times, this age was no longer young.
Even after a serious illness, it is normal for the person to be gone.
Yao Guangxiao can already hear the urging of time on him. This voice repeatedly says: "Hurry up, hurry up. Make achievements, make achievements."
And He Xi is the person within his sight who is easiest to reach. He is also a very interesting person in his opinion. He had studied He Xi's knowledge in detail. Yao Guangxiao had also thought about He Xi's few words. He clearly discovered that He Xi's knowledge was only the tip of the iceberg. Even the tip of He Bingshan amazed Yao Guangxiao.
Just as some of How Xi's thoughts could not be hidden from Song Ne, they could not be hidden from Yao Guangxiao.
The only difference is that Song Ne, as a representative of Confucianism, desperately opposes He Xi. Till death. But Yao Guangxiao was very interested. He felt that He Xi was a more arrogant, bolder and more dangerous person than himself.
The same kind of person as myself.
Yao Guangxiao just wanted to use his talents in the world and leave a name in history.
But He Xi was so arrogant that he overturned thousands of years of established laws and used his own theories to change the world. If he succeeds, Confucius and Mencius will be trampled under his feet; if he fails, the world will fall apart and the Ming Dynasty will die. None of it is impossible.
He is a madman like him.
There is a thin line between genius and madness.
It's just that Yao Guangxiao is a genius, but He Xi is not. He Xi actually didn't know enough about what he was doing. In fact, if Zhu Yuanzhang had not existed, many things would not have ended so simply. And tomorrow, there will be no second Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most dangerous problem for He Xi is not Zhu Yuanzhang, but after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. Can he support the New Deal without a backer? At that time, it is the most critical time. It's not impossible to die if you can't handle the second generation.
Yao Guangxiao saw it more clearly than He Xi. Because of this, Yao Guangxiao has decided to join this dangerous game.
