Today's court meeting was somewhat beyond Feng Yibo's expectations.
It has been half a month since the memorial regarding the application of 100,000 Japanese women to "cross the sea to work" was submitted.
But since then, there has been no movement in the court.
According to Feng Yibo's original conjecture, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet must not agree directly.
After all, the Wei Dynasty was not a country like Japan, but regarded itself as a state of etiquette.
After all, you still have to face it.
It's not easy to talk about such immoral things openly.
Therefore, Feng Yibo feels that the attitude of Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet towards this matter should probably be...
I'm not against it, but I'm not advocating it either.
To put it more clearly, the emperor and the cabinet adopted a tacit attitude in order to receive the compensation as soon as possible.
If something happens in the future and someone impeaches this matter.
For example, criticizing Japanese women for destroying the customs of the Wei Dynasty.
At that time, the cabinet can arrange for people to step forward.
It is proposed to respect the customs of other countries and strengthen the education of Wei.
Regarding the established facts, we must show Wei's tolerance.
In short, he is in the same state as Feng Yibo now, maxing out his Tai Chi and kickball skills.
All impeachments end in nothing.
But what Feng Yibo didn't expect was that Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet wanted more and had more fun than he imagined.
"The Japanese girl traveled across the ocean to work in the Wei Dynasty. This is a great thing!"
"Yes! Similar things happened during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that our country, Wei Dynasty, is now in a state of prosperity?"
"'When the barbarians and the Di enter China, they will be conquered by China'. This is how tolerant the Wei Dynasty is!"
"..."
After the attendant officer briefly explained Japan's request, some people in the court began to praise it.
Obviously, the attitude of Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet.
It was not the acquiescence that Feng Yibo thought.
Instead, just as he chose to report the matter, he brought it out in advance.
This is to avoid criticism after future thunderstorms.
But the difference is that Feng Yibo reported it truthfully!
He not only mentioned that the Japanese women would go to sea to work and might turn into prostitution.
The possible consequences will also be speculated and reported in full.
However, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet did not mention selling oneself at all.
They just avoided the important and ignored the important, saying that the Japanese country wanted to export female workers to the Wei Dynasty.
By the way, the money Ha said will be used for early repayment.
How could the ministers object to this?
Of course, in addition to praise, there are still some different voices.
"'Those who are not of my race must have different minds.' If these Japanese women arrive in the Wei Dynasty, we should pay close attention to them."
What to focus on?
Wouldn’t the secret be exposed as soon as you pay attention?
"Although the words are good, in our huge country, only tens of thousands of Japanese women come to work. They are like a trickle flowing into the sea and cannot stir up much waves."
If you mean going into the sea, that's true.
"Yes, 100,000 people sounds like a lot, but half of them will go to Donghai County and other Southeast Asian countries. There are hundreds of coastal states and counties in the Wei Dynasty. The remaining tens of thousands of people are scattered, and there are only a hundred and eighty people in one place."
It seems that the price for a Japanese Japanese women's pavilion in one county is not too outrageous.
Blessed are the young and old men along the coast!
"..."
The words of these people sounded like they had some objections.
But in fact, it is still not objection.
Although there is a debate between Huayi and Huayi, there is also the self-confidence of the Celestial Empire in his words.
I can’t say it’s useless, but I can say it’s relatively prudent.
At least know to keep an eye on developments.
Unfortunately, you will know this as soon as you hear it.
Apparently it was also arranged by Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet.
So Feng Yibo couldn't help but laugh when he heard these remarks.
At this moment, Zhang Songyue in the front row looked back at him.
Feng Yibo immediately put on a facelift and responded with a polite smile.
Zhang Songyue looked at him sideways for a while, then turned back without saying anything.
He looked like an old god, but in fact he had been depressed about Liu Zheng these past few days.
Originally, he thought that provoking Feng Yibo was nothing.
But now he has really suffered the bitter pill.
Recently, at the instigation of Feng Yibo, his beloved disciple Liu Zheng began to use the words of the saint to achieve the "unity of knowledge and action".
It would be fine if he was really interested in learning, but he inspired a group of passionate supervisors in the Imperial College.
While beginning to promote the "unity of knowledge and action", we must also implement the "execution of the gentleman".
Among the supervisors, there were many dandy boys who started making noises.
They don't know much about knowledge, but they are really motivated when fighting.
There has been a lot of chaos everywhere these days.
Compared to before, there were occasional conflicts between dudes.
Now it has extended to the court, and a Kedao speaker was beaten.
He was clearly competing for fame in a brothel, but the dandy said that he was "firm in his actions and eloquent in his words."
He also said that even a beating would be light.
If you encounter him looking down on prostitutes again, you will be punished by "a gentleman's punishment."
But Ke Dao Yan Guan just said:
"You're just a prostitute, pretending to be a chaste and martyr woman?"
In this way, people say that he despises others and is "going to be bold and strong".
The key point is that there is some truth, which makes him unable to express his true suffering.
There have been countless such things recently, and many people have complained to Zhang Songyue.
Even the Imperial Academy in the capital came to see him in tears.
He said that the management was poor and he wanted to resign and return to his hometown.
These facts are making Zhang Song more and more confused.
The source of these things was that he asked Liu Zheng to deceive Feng Yibo.
At this time, there was harmony in the court, but Zhang Songyue suddenly named him:
"General Feng, you are the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, responsible for overseas affairs. Why don't you tell me your views on the Japanese matter."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yibo immediately came out of the queue and saluted Lord Dan.
Then he bowed to Zhang Songyue again and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"The lower official's suggestions have been written down in the memorial, and everything else depends on the decision of the Holy Emperor and the elders."
No matter what can be said or what cannot be said.
He has already stated it in the memorial.
At this time, Zhang Songyue asked him, and Feng Yibo would naturally not ruin it.
But I will never really express my position here.
No matter what he says at this time, he, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, will be blamed in the future when the accounts are settled.
But he doesn't say anything now, and his memorial can be read in the future.
To show that he had already advised him.
Unless Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue were looking for trouble, they would definitely not do this.
Seeing that Feng Yibo was still slippery, Zhang Songyue nodded with satisfaction.
Naturally, he was not asking Feng Yibo to tell the truth, but was sure that he would not tell it.
When I ask now, I just want him to have an attitude.
Seeing Feng Yibo like this, he and Emperor Jingshun looked at each other and nodded lightly.
Without waiting for the officials to discuss it again, Zhang Songyue said directly:
"This is the end of the discussion about the Japanese women crossing the sea to work. Since the Japanese country wants to repay the compensation in advance, the Wei Dynasty should also provide some convenience."
These words are the final word. Even if it is revealed in the future, the cabinet will still be dedicated to the country.
As for the ethos and the like, Feng Yibo didn’t say anything today, and he won’t say it again in the future.
Naturally, such a situation was not something that the cabinet could "expect".
Seeing this, the attendant officer immediately stepped forward and announced:
"Proceed to the next item of the meeting..."
Seeing this, Feng Yibo smiled slightly.
Now that things have happened, no matter what happens to the Japanese girl in the future, he will no longer be involved.
In fact, what he didn't know was.
After the memorial was sent, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet were shocked by the Japanese operation.
Although shocked, everyone remained silent.
No matter how shameless the Japanese were, no one raised any objections.
Even after the silence, some cabinet ministers made excuses for the future.
This is quite different from what Feng Yibo thought.
It is nothing more than classifying this as a Japanese custom.
Although the other cabinet ministers felt that it was inappropriate, they were also worried that doing so would corrupt the atmosphere of the Wei Dynasty.
But under the temptation of early repayment, no one can refuse.
At this time, other people in the cabinet began to find excuses for this.
Regardless of foreign customs, it is still an argument to save more Wei women from the suffering of the world.
Neither Emperor Jingshun nor Zhang Songyue nodded.
Without him, it’s still the same sentence.
After all, the Wei Dynasty was a kingdom in heaven.
Although I want money, I also want face!
In the end, it was Zhang Songyue who set the tone:
Most of what Feng Yuan said in his memorial are personal conjectures.
The Wei Dynasty has always been lenient to its people, and the Japanese state also recognized the status of the Wei Dynasty as a vassal.
Now the peace terms have been signed and the two sides have restored their old friendship.
Therefore, personal speculation cannot affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
As for the situation of those Japanese women, these old ministers Duanfang can only be the same as Feng Yibo.
Sigh lightly and let it go.
After all, whether it is Feng Yibo or the cabinet.
The people of Wei still couldn't care less.
In this matter, the most I am worried about is whether the atmosphere of Wei Dynasty will be affected.
How can I have leisure time and care about the life and death of Japanese girls?
The Japanese girl's matter is finally settled.
After going to court, Feng Yibo was ready to meet Prince Zhongshun.
Previously, he promised Jia Lian to meet the Prince of Beijing.
But before that, he had to meet Prince Zhongshun.
This is to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Prince Zhongshun holds the Dragon Scale Guard in his hands and must be watching his every move.
Even if there is no one of him in his own palace, there must be someone around Prince Beijing.
For example...Feng Ziying.
Now that the end of the year is approaching, no one will mention the terms for the time being.
It is also time to stabilize both the founding family and the new rich.
Feng Yibo was walking out when someone called him from behind.
"Yibo stays!"
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was Liu Zheng.
Feng Yibo stopped, turned around and said with a smile:
"Brother Haoran has become very popular recently. I heard that all the dandies in the capital are led by you."
Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin have been inseparable recently. After hearing Feng Yibo's words, Liu Zheng was still smiling bitterly, and Yang Mingxin said:
"Yibo, when will there be a follow-up to your physics project? My mind has been filled with those experiments lately, and I'm tired of them!"
Ever since the last time he saw the "Physics" elementary textbook, Yang Mingxin had been obsessed with it.
When he saw Feng Yibo at this time, he asked about "Physics".
"I have searched all over the Mohist classics, but they are not as detailed as yours. If you have nothing to do, don't delay, and hurry up and carry forward this knowledge!"
After that time, in order to study the "unity of knowledge and action", the three of them got together many times,
Every time Yang Mingxin must ask about "Physics".
Seeing that he was interested, Feng Yibo lent him the second volume of the compilation.
Unexpectedly, Yang Mingxin became more excited after reading it.
"Brother Xinmin is making things difficult for me!"
Feng Yibo looked helpless when he saw this, and said with a wry smile:
"You have read two volumes. You should know that "Physics" is a time-consuming and laborious subject. How can I come up with something new so quickly in my spare time?"
】
In fact, it's not that he doesn't have time, it's just that he only remembers these.
For example, in terms of mechanics, he has already figured out the three laws and formulas of classical mechanics.
He did remember some formulas involving heat and electricity.
But it's too early to write it now.
Further down, it is really not something that a liberal arts student like him can do.
Seeing the disappointment on Yang Mingxin's face, Feng Yibo quickly changed the subject and asked:
"Brother Haoran, are you looking for me if you have something to do?"
The three of them had not been together for nearly half a month, and Liu Zheng made a big fuss in the capital.
I stopped him at this time, probably to report the results.
"I don't have anything else to do. I just wanted to ask when we can get together again."
Liu Zheng smiled and said again:
"I have been doing what we said recently, and I have some new ideas about 'unity of knowledge and action'. I would like to communicate with you when I have time."
Although he was just teased by Feng Yibo as the "head of the dandy", Liu Zheng is enjoying himself recently.
He gained great popularity among his students by promoting the "unity of knowledge and action".
Although not all positive, according to what Feng Yibo said before.
This is called "black and red are also red".
Thinking that the recent ups and downs in the capital had something to do with Liu Zheng, Feng Yibo reminded:
"The most important thing about the unity of knowledge and action is to practice and gain true knowledge. You have now taken the first step, but don't forget to be sincere and don't be led astray."
From the beginning, it was Feng Yibo who asked Liu Zheng to go to extremes.
Use this to gain attention in the hope that more people will pay attention.
But thinking about the current situation in the capital, Feng Yibo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Once people become "popular", it is easy to lose themselves.
Although Liu Zheng is a modest gentleman, he has never been baptized in this way.
If he couldn't bear it anymore, Feng Yibo had to find a way to end it as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Liu Zheng laughed when he heard this and said:
"I understand the importance of this, but as you just said, there are only a few students who are willing to practice the 'unity of knowledge and action', and the rest are just dandy kids who follow suit."
The implication is that he can control himself, but he cannot control the people below.
Feng Yibo felt slightly relieved when he heard this.
He only cares whether Liu Zheng's heart is right or not, as for those dandies...
They are just tools for promotion.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said indifferently:
"No matter what their purpose is, as long as they speak the way of a gentleman, aren't they a gentleman?"
Confucius once said: "A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always concerned."
As the saying goes: "If you always have benevolence and filial piety, you will not be able to bear to do anything that is not allowed in the world..."
The latter words were said by scholars in the Qing Dynasty, but in fact they can be regarded as Confucianism’s summary of the gentleman.
To put it bluntly, it does not matter whether it is a saint or a Confucian scholar.
In ancient times, the requirements for a gentleman were actually based on the heart.
But Feng Yibo said exactly the opposite. What he meant was obviously "discussing one's deeds but not one's heart."
However, this is obviously not the first time he has said this.
Liu Zheng had already accepted this statement. He nodded with a smile and acknowledged:
"I think so too, that's why I said I have a new experience."
