Capital, Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't laugh or cry. Zhu Di and Zhu Quan stopped in Zhenjiang for two days because they were salvaging the cliff stone fragments of "The Crane Inscription". Not only that, they were also treated as national treasures and transported to the capital. They also brought Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi with them. …
Since these two gentlemen asked to meet, let's meet. Otherwise, how can we get them to educate people?
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi entered the palace with uneasiness. They knelt in the Wuying Hall and did not dare to raise their heads. Even if Zhu Yunwen offered a seat, it was just like walking on horseback and they did not sit properly.
"I am ignorant of Mount Tai, and I bumped into the Emperor that day. Please forgive me."
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi couldn't help but feel scared when they thought about the scene that day. If the emperor was angry and sank their whole family to the bottom of the Yangtze River, no one would come to fish them out.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the two overly cautious gentlemen with a smile and said: "Since you have come to the capital, it saves me the trouble of sending people to look for you. You two will not forget the contract that day, right?"
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi nodded repeatedly. Who dares to forget this? Generally, there is a possibility of breaking the contract, but you are the emperor, who dares to break your contract...
"Then please ask two gentlemen to gather a group of Confucian scholars to go to Beizhili and other places. There are too few county schools there. As for the salary issue, you don't need to worry about it. As long as the Confucian students, supervisors and teachers who support education will be treated the same Salaries will be distributed according to the seventh rank."
Zhu Yunwen reassured the two of them.
Although these two people are somewhat related and have many poor friends and students, these families all need food, and if they drag their entire family to support education, they must receive preferential treatment no matter what.
Otherwise, even if the two of them are at odds, they may not be able to bring a few people north.
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi breathed a sigh of relief. With good treatment, things would be much easier to handle.
Zhang Bozhi glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said bravely: "Your Majesty, the common people have one more thing to ask for. If the Emperor agrees, the common people will immediately return to Zhenjiang and summon people to Beizhili."
Zhu Yunwen asked: "But what about "The Crane Inscription"?"
Zhang Bozhi nodded heavily.
"The Crane Inscription" was originally from Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang. It was finally salvaged from the bottom of the river. Before it could be shown off or a rubbing was left, it was directly brought to the capital by the bandit leaders Zhu Di and Zhu Quan. That's outrageous.
Zhu Yunwen doesn't care about "The Inscription of the Crane", but cares about education. If he doesn't handle it well, if they go there and don't pay attention to teaching, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"Let the cabinet keep ten rubbings of "The Crane Inscription" and send the original to Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang."
Zhu Yunwen ordered the servant.
There is no way, "The Inscription of the Crane" is too popular. Zhu Quan and Zhu Di gave it to the imperial court, but it has not yet been sent to the inner palace. Needless to say, it must be in the hands of Xie Jin, Yu Xin, Chen Di and others. Who can refuse to get in the way? Take a look at this rare textual treasure.
Sun Juwen and Zhang Bozhi were so moved that they were about to bow and leave, but Zhu Yunwen stopped them and said: "Before leaving the capital, go to the Imperial College to find Yang Shiqi and ask for a set of teaching materials, which will be helpful to you."
The two of them were a little confused. With their knowledge and skills, they still needed teaching materials? Isn't this looking down on people? If they were ordinary people, the two of them would have slapped the table, tossed their sleeves and left.
But not long after, the two were completely shocked.
The textbooks of the Imperial College are different from the ordinary classics and history collections. They are divided into categories, very regular, and integrated. Especially the Arabic numerals used in mathematics are even more fascinating.
In the evening, a group of vassal kings entered the palace one after another to participate in the family banquet hosted by Zhu Yunwen himself.
This was the gathering of all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty again since Zhu Yuanzhang's death and funeral. Except for King Zhu Zhi of Liao and King Zhu Geng of Min, who had already gone to sea, all other vassal kings were present. Even the eight-year-old King of Jingjiang Zhu Zanyi and the ten-year-old King of Qin Zhu Shangbing , the twelve-year-old King of Lu Zhu Zhaohui and other second-generation vassal kings also came.
Compared with the last big gathering, there are two missing people who are unlikely to be present again, that is, the former Zhou King Zhu Zhu and Qi King Zhu Su.
King Zhu Zhen of Chu, King Zhu Chun of Shu, King Zhu Bai of Xiang and others surrounded Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, asking about the war in Qiaoba Mountain. They couldn't help but hold their breath when they heard about the tension, couldn't help but be fascinated when they heard about the blood, and couldn't help but be encouraged when they heard about the retreat of the enemy.
Zhu Baisulai liked to talk about military affairs. Seeing Zhu Quan's brilliance, he couldn't help but said: "If there were more troops and the ambush was on Hashiha's retreat, he would be extremely embarrassed and would not dare to look back."
Valley King Zhu Su waved his hand and said in denial: "Otherwise, the grassland is so big that it is not easy to know the way out. If you don't find the right way and are penetrated by others, it is very likely that the subsequent enemies will notice it and break it." The damage is there.”
"Haha, it's quite lively. How about I bring out the map and let everyone have a discussion?"
Zhu Yunwen walked into Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Zhu Di led all the vassal kings to pay homage and shouted long live.
Zhu Yunwen sat down, held his hands and said: "We are all one family, get up and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di and others stood up and took their seats according to their status.
Zhu Yunwen ordered the wine and food to be served. After the arrangements were completed, he raised his glass and said, "Today is a family banquet. There are a lot of things to do, but the first glass of wine should be a congratulation to Uncle Ning and Uncle Yan. The two imperial uncles were planning the battle in Qiao Bashan. , divide the troops for a surprise attack, add fuel to the fire tactics, attack Oara first, then capture Duoyan, defeat the Tatars three times, enhance the prestige of our country, and secure our mountains and rivers. Come, raise a toast!"
Zhu Quan didn't expect that Zhu Yunwen would give him such a high evaluation. He couldn't help but his eyes grew hot, and he quickly said: "I'm ashamed of myself."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "If Uncle Ning doesn't dare to be the first drinker, then wouldn't it be impossible to drink at today's banquet? Uncle Gu, you are a good drinker. Can you agree not to drink today?"
Young Zhu Su immediately objected: "How can we have a banquet without wine? Brother Seventeen, just accept it..."
Zhu Quan almost suffered internal injuries, so he obeyed.
"The battle between Uncle Ning and Uncle Yan broke the fragile unity between Oara and Tatar in Beiyuan. Urgent news came from Datong that Mahamu openly opposed Hashiha and returned to Hashiha. Before, more than half of the tribe's population was plundered. The civil strife in Oara is a foregone conclusion, and the Tatars are afraid of the Ming Dynasty and the Duoyan Guards attacking again, and there are signs of moving westward. With such great achievements and such merits, how can they not be toasted by me? "
Zhu Yunwen raised his glass and thanked Zhu Quan and Zhu Di from the bottom of his heart. They used a risky war to win peace on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. At least in the next two years, it will be impossible for Tatars and Oaras to invade the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.
With the threat from the north removed, Ming Dynasty could free up its hands to focus on internal construction, replace its weapons and equipment, and strengthen its country and army.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Quan and Zhu Di raised their glasses with both hands and drank it all.
Respect by doing it first.
Zhu Yunwen smiled lightly, drank the wine in the glass, and the waiter filled it again.
"This second glass of wine is a tribute to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who died on the battlefield, and to the logistics sergeants who have made countless sacrifices for this battle!"
"Respectfully!"
All the vassal kings raised their glasses together.
After two glasses of wine, Zhu Yunwen's face became melancholy. He picked up the wine glass, slowly looked at the vassal kings, and said solemnly: "This third glass of wine, please give it to King Qi."
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold, like a winter blizzard in a land of ice caves.
Zhu Di looked shocked, Zhu Zhen looked terrified, Zhu Quan was stunned, and the other princes were either stunned on the spot, or trembling with heavy hearts.
King Zhu Zhu of Qi conspired to rebel, but you, Zhu Yunwen, defeated him and turned him into ashes. Now you are hosting a family banquet and suddenly want to honor a rebel who has turned into ashes. Isn't this a joke?
Could it be that you, Zhu Yunwen, think that Zhu Shu does not deserve to die?
Burned wrong?
This is a person who should not be mentioned at the family banquet. How can you, Zhu Yunwen, bring it up and even toast him?
Don't bring out the dead to scare us living people.
Zhu Yunwen was not joking. He held up the wine glass and repeated it. Then he said seriously: "King Qi rebelled and died. But I still want to thank him. If you don't drink this glass of wine, I will drink it alone."
