Chapter 173: Walking the Tightrope (Part 2)
Chapter 173: Walking the tightrope (Part 2)
The little emperor had not finished speaking, and he bowed down a large group of ministers and said no.
But at this time, Zhao Zhen was very young, and youth means being prone to impulsiveness. Why can Emperor Ming of Tang create a prosperous era in Kaiyuan? I can't have a prosperous era in Mingdao?
He stood up from the dragon throne and said, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong. If it is wrong, please give the punishment to me alone, and do not surrender to my people."
He said that, bowed high to the sky.
What else can you say?
It can be said that Lu Yijian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why not hold a sacrifice in front of the Taimiao to pray to God, to ancestors, and to bless the peace of our people in the Song Dynasty."
He came back very quickly and returned to the court in four months. Most of them were puzzled. In fact, it was very simple. With April, can't the little emperor understand the difficulties he had forcibly advised the old lady to bury Li Chenfei?
The tumbler has begun!
But this time he came back, he felt very unsatisfactory. The Prime Minister was gone, and there was a Li Di on it. This minister was an old minister of the previous dynasty. He had to be qualified, knowledgeable, and had a background. He was the real teacher of the little emperor when he was a child. He was also deeply saddened by the "political persecution" of the old lady for more than ten years.
I can only be a sub-season obediently.
In fact, this proposal is to let the little emperor come to perform political shows and see how I treat the people? It can consolidate the little emperor's dominance.
But in a broad sense, this show can make the locust killing go smoothly.
This move was approved by everyone.
Prepare immediately. But Lu Yijian called Yan Wenying aside and said, "Cook carefully."
Four words are enough. You can't really let the little emperor take a raw locust. You need to marinate it with salt, rice wine, five-spice, ginger juice, and soy sauce, and then fry it in a pan to make it delicious. You must also pay attention to "hygiene work", and at least brush it clean with a brush.
"Here," Yan Wenying understood and stepped back.
The story soon spread. The little emperor brought his ministers to the Taimiao to hold a sacrifice. In order to eat this little locust, the national treasury had at least a few thousand pieces of money disappeared. However, it had a very good symbolic significance. Many people in the capital came to hear the news and were far away, but the little emperor's actions could still be seen. When he saw the little emperor standing in front of the Taimiao, it was not in the Taimiao, but also Lu Yijian's proposal. This was not only for the big men and ancestors in the sky, but also for the people.
Seeing the little emperor ate the little locust that had been carefully prepared by many chefs, almost all the people fell down and burst into tears.
But the little emperor hadn't spoken for a long time, and it seemed to have a delicious taste. But when he thought of the little bug, he felt disgusted and wanted to vomit, so he didn't dare to move or speak, so he didn't dare to vomit in public. After more than a day, he choked on a pile of soft objects.
I hate, I hate!
This made the little emperor hate the locusts to the extreme. At this time, all the ministers opposed it and they were going to fight. I immediately issued an edict to all the affected prefectures and counties, encouraging the people to feed on locusts, which really couldn't eat them (very good-looking), and used them to the county government for food.
But I am very grateful to Zheng Lang. He has already set a precedent and Dai Jun has passed. What should I appreciate? After thinking for a long time, I was afraid that Zheng Lang would refuse, so I left the inner palace with more than 30 Weaver Girls, some of whom were carved silk and some were embroidered. My life was simple. What would I do in the inner palace with this Weaver Girl? Do you want to wear carved silk and embroidery? Or even ordinary silk is reluctant to wear. Let's go to the hell.
Further self-abuse.
Send them to Zheng’s house together. Don’t your house want a weaver and let your house support you.
Zheng Lang was so amused that he had to take it away. He simply did a good deed and spent another batch of money to buy some land, and invited the Weaver Girl family to reunite their family. Those who did not want to stay were also sent back to their original hometown.
Then the little emperor rewarded Sier's parents' family with one hundred pieces of silk. Don't think it's too little. The little emperor is stingy with himself and others. Such a reward is very good for the little emperor. Zheng Lang walked around the tightrope and basically landed safely.
The aftermath of the matter was not over. The seven or eight hundred chickens and ducks raised by Sier's home grew up quickly, growing fat and tender, but no one dared to buy them. Zheng Lang had no choice but to load them on a boat together and sent them to the disaster area to provide relief to the people in the disaster area.
The person who smells it is so funny that he can't even eat it. Do you still let others eat chicken and duck?
...
This matter was just a small walk on the tightrope, and the one at home was really walking on the tightrope.
Uncle Song brought the two young men to Zhengjiazhuang.
The two jumped out of the carriage, and there were two beautiful girls from Sima's third son. Zheng Lang didn't mind this. The current rituals and officials are all in this way. The Sima family is rich and powerful, and the third son is going to travel far away, so how can there be no two maids who serve you around?
Even if the Sima family doesn't give it to them, they have to prepare for them. After all, the two teenagers are still young and can only take care of themselves. If they do something bad... it should be said that it is the blessing of the little maid. Although these two future top big shots will be very troublesome, they can still be regarded as morally high.
When Sima Guang has it, Wang Anshi also wants to prepare one for him. He has to buy it in the city. Only everyone's little maid can have more experience in serving people. It is not too much. As long as these two boys are obedient, even if they ask him for ten maids, Zheng Lang is willing.
Looking at Sima Guang, he was also interested in Zheng Lang, the future master. Don’t think that the feeling when reading "Zizhi Tongjian" is very reasonable. But when it is his turn, he will often lose his memory. The great principles written in the book come from time to time to forget.
The fourteen-year-old boy looks almost mature, looks more elegant and has a polite manner. It is also created by the environment. With Wang Anshi's family background, he can eat well and raise so many outstanding sons. Wang Yi has done a good job and is still hoping to train his son to have the behavior of a scholar-official in advance?
At the same time, he held hands and came to Zheng Lang together and said in unison: "I have seen Jie Yuan."
"I've seen two of you," Zheng Lang is very happy for the time being. What else can he force to see these two reconcile? As long as these two do not split, the Song Dynasty will not have the most painful and painful split.
"Come in and sit down." said again.
Wang Xiaosan was very worried and asked: "Zheng Jieyuan, can we move into the Zheng family?"
After looking at it again, the two young men's hands did not relax and nodded, "It's OK. Come in and talk."
This made Wang Xiaosan very depressed. Could it be that in Zheng Lang's heart, this Sima family mistress is ten times more important than himself? Where...
After entering the house, Jiang Xing'er brought tea, and then said, "Wang Sanlang, tomorrow I will ask Xing'er to take you into the city to buy some clothes and daily necessities, and at the same time add a little maid to take care of your daily life."
"Xie Yuan, don't dare."
"Since I promised you, I won't let you suffer any grievances."
Jiang Xing'er didn't know what Zheng Lang had about this mistress, so she nodded desperately: "Wang Sanlang, you don't have to refuse. If Zheng Lang doesn't agree to you, he will treat you very well as promised to enter this door. Not only are you learning..."
Without spitting out new words, he continued, "Jin Lang is very friendly to them."
At this time, Wang Xiaosan had the idea of crying. It was so difficult. It was time to break through the clouds and mist and see the sun. Even Sima Xiaosan nodded secretly. If it was as rumored, it would be my blessing.
Zheng Lang said again: "Why did Uncle Ouyang Yong and I hand over the articles we wrote to Feng Jiashi?"
I also heard about this, and the two teenagers said respectfully: "Please make it clear."
"Don't be so restrictive. In the future, it's communication, not explicit. We are all the big ones, learn together and work together. But when it comes to the word explicit, I will say by the way, treat our predecessors with respect and a sense of fear. But we cannot blindly follow them, carefully absorb their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses. We cannot use this reason to defeat them all. Our knowledge theory is gradually improved by the predecessors. What will it become if they are defeated? Including the laws of ancestors, respect and supplement are the way to gradually progress."
"yes."
Of course, the two teenagers don’t know the true meaning of this sentence at the moment. This sentence in the future is very important. Wang Anshi put on a coat. I am absorbing the strengths of all families and actually implementing a policy of overthrowing everything. I am a pure radical. Sima Guang is a genuine Conservative Party. As long as he is from his ancestors, he is good and cannot move at once. Both are not desirable.
I know that it will not be of much use after the time being, and then slowly cultivate their idea, he continued to say: "It is because of insufficient basic knowledge. For example, building a house, the stronger the foundation, the higher the building can be built. Otherwise, any movement in the sky can collapse immediately at any time."
"yes."
"But I don't have much time to spare this year. Before, I made some arrangements for you to study in the state and lay down the basic knowledge. If I have time, I will take some time to communicate with each other. The words of King Sanlang of Heaven are also slightly worthy, and learning is practical. The reason is very simple. Learning knowledge cannot be done. In order to serve as an official, the imperial examination must share the worries and problems for the country, the king, and the king should be assisted in governing the country and turning the people. If our provincial examination fails, we will continue to practice. If I pass the provincial examination and luckily I pass the official and the time is also taken out, then we can do more mutual communication. And let you see how we will discuss in advance how to govern?"
"Okay, OK," said the two young men with a gaze. They thought to themselves that they had indeed come!
All of them are people with ambitions that are not very big, and they must be a little bigger than Zheng Lang. Once Zheng Lang is planning an official, even they may participate in the administration. How can they not be excited? As for what Zheng Lang said if he had not won, he would not listen at all.
It looks good on the surface, very well-behaved and obedient.
When Jiang Xing'er settled down with two happy teenagers, Zheng Lang also smiled. At this moment, Uncle Song came over and touched his head and said, "Dalang, my head is quarrel."
