Chapter 185: The Sages
Wu Mi has been very upset in recent days.
Since he sat on this dragon chair, he had more times to worry about, less time to be idle, and those beautiful youthful and frivolous times were now barely able to think about it when he dreamed back at midnight.
The two princesses, although they are not very favored by the emperor now, but before Wu Mi ascended the throne, they were also once beautiful, and the mothers of the two have status, status, and favor, even if they are not the queen of the main palace, but the two of them do not say that they want to be windy and rainy in the palace, but no one will give them grievances.
Leping and Xinghua were also born in anticipation and were highly loved.
Now there are only two princesses who have grown into adults, and since they were young, they can't help but have no other signs, competing for the attention of the emperor, competing for their mother's favor, and later even fighting for who lives in a more luxurious palace and whose clothes and jewelry are beautiful......
Leping has always had the upper hand.
The ninth princess can't compare to her in terms of heart-to-heart eyes.
When the emperor was alive, the ninth princess let the squeeze gradually lose her face in front of the emperor, and she became a little transparent in the palace.
If it were someone else, it would definitely be a slump, but this princess also inherited the unique stubbornness of the Wu family, even if it became more and more unpleasant, the world thought she was delicate and willful, and she was messing around, she still refused to change, and she couldn't get along with Leping, and even developed to the point that as long as it was something that could make Princess Leping unhappy, whether it was beneficial or harmful to her, she had to do it.
Later, the first emperor passed away, Leping also fell silent, and rarely showed off again, and the ninth princess Xinghua stopped, but I didn't expect to make trouble again today.
"Brother Huang, when my father was alive. Promised me. You can see your favorite colt. You were also there at that time, you should have heard, now I have a horse, and I ask the royal brother to make the decision for me. ”
"Is all the good things in the world yours? Do you want to marry someone, but do they want to marry you? My father also told me that his daughter's marriage can be decided by himself, and now I have taken a fancy to Mr. Yang Yunqiu Yang. If you want to grab it, let's see if I'm willing to ......."
"Enough!"
Wu Mi was noisy at this moment, "Mr. Yang, how can you two fight at will?" Give it all to me. ”
Le Ping was blessed expressionlessly, turned his head and left calmly, and Xinghua also turned his head hastily and walked out of the palace gate.
Both of them are wide-sleeved long skirts, and they are also full of pearls, and the makeup they painted is also the peach blossom makeup that is popular in Beijing today, and the looks of the two people are even eight or nine points similar. Phoenix eyes, long eyebrows. Straight nose, cherry lips, typical beauty looks, Leping is more calm and cold, Xinghua is more jumpy, the two are simply very similar sisters, saying that they are the same mother, no one will not believe it.
Although it gave the two of them a headache, Wu Mi was also a little tempted.
A while ago, Mr. Yang had a secret conversation with him, and he was willing to share the skills he knew with the imperial court.
The rule of this era is that the emperor cannot get other people's skills in vain, especially the scholars, once they do something to seize by force and accidentally expose it, it will definitely attract counterattacks and confrontations from all the scholars in the world.
Now that Mr. Yang is willing to let go, Wu Mi is also overjoyed.
Not to mention the mysterious secret weapons that have been displayed recently, not to mention those methods of iron-making and steel-making, not to mention the divine weapons and armor in Mr. Yang's Academy, just ordinary things.
Incense, essence, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and more importantly, medicines for the treatment of various diseases, as well as miracle medicines for the treatment of many terminal diseases, if Wu Mi can get his hands on these things, where can he worry about the lack of money in the imperial court?
He wants to do a lot of things, but he needs money to do things.
Wu Mi, the emperor, can be said to be the most in need of money among all the emperors of the entire Hong Dynasty, when Emperor Taizu raised his army, he also shouted slogans, and when the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, the flowers were used more, and there were more people who followed.
Other emperors ascended the throne, and the Hong Dynasty was thriving, and the treasury was full, where was it like him? When he ascended the throne, what his father left him was not a good stall, a few years ago, there was still some silver money in the treasury, and now there is a big war, the amount of money and grain consumed, and it is still defeated, even if the contract signed is not harsh, in the end, it still makes the barbarians rob a lot of benefits, Fangzhou wants to be rebuilt, the victims must be resettled, the civil and military generals are going to be fed, so many people are waiting to be fed.
Wu Mi felt that in a few days, his treasury would be able to run rats around.
At this time, Mr. Yang came out with a business that could make a lot of money, how could he not continue, but like what, he took care of the family members of the Zhenbei Army, and the other party exchanged the business for a transaction like that, how could he announce it?
How to take benefits openly, so that others can't find fault with it, Wu Mi has been very worried these days, but now he has moved the idea - marriage!
Marriage is actually a good idea, even when the emperor wants to win over a person, marriage is a safest and least expensive method, but unfortunately, Leping and Xinghua are not suitable.
Leping has a heart.
Schmidt is an idiot.
He knows the two sisters very well, and if he really marries these two people to Yang Yunqiu, it is simply not a marriage, but a feud, and it is nothing wrong to marry Leping to Wulin.
Anyway, Hong Chao and Wu Lin are destined to have no way to make peace, there must be a war, just wait for both sides to be ready, throw Leping over and stir it up, even if Wu Lin wants to kill Leping, he can't do it as soon as possible, he always has to think about it for her.
She can't play a big role, and she's still capable of stirring up the situation.
Yang Yunqiu could actually guess Wu Mi's thoughts in music, so even if Princess Leping put on a full princess honor guard and blocked the door of the academy, he was not angry.
A poor girl, too.
Yang Yunqiu personally went out and invited the princess to get out of the car and enter the door.
The environment of the academy is very good, over the years, Yang Yunqiu has also been renovated, the whole academy is closer to the garden-style hotel of later generations, the flowers are splendid, but the style is simple.
"Mr. must feel that this palace doesn't know Mr. at all, but he is stalking and stalking Mr. and getting Mr. involved in right and wrong, which is very shameful."
Take a seat in the pavilion facing the lake. Leping poured himself a cup of tea. Said softly. "Sir, Ke Leping only has this way, I don't want to marry casually, and I don't want to go to Wulin - my Hong Dynasty and Wulin will have a battle, if I marry, I will be alone, in case there is a son and a half daughter, can I still expect the imperial brother to have mercy on them?"
She smiled coldly: "Why? Just because I'm a princess? enjoyed the glory and wealth of the princess. Do you have to know that there is no way forward in the road, or do you have to go down a dead road? If my father is still there, that's it, but my father gave me dignity, freedom and favor, for my father, I just sacrifice once, it doesn't matter, but why does he Wu Mi want me to sacrifice? My mother is alive, and he is careless in private. Even if others are a slut, he doesn't refute it. Do you really think others don't know? He insulted my mother, turned a blind eye to me, I had to be a man with my tail between my legs in the palace, he didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a brother, can he expect me to take on the obligations of a princess and a sister at this time? ”
Yang Yunqiu smiled bitterly, these words are useless to tell him. He was already past the age when he would be hot-blooded, and he was not really a young man in his twenties, even if the princess's bitter card was played well, he didn't want to take it.
"The princess is both talented and beautiful, and there are many nobles and sons in the capital, so she will be able to find a good match."
It means that if you want to get out, go to someone who is willing to take over, don't look for him, he has nothing to ask for from the princess, and the princess can't afford to give him what he wants, and the princess can't control what he doesn't want to do.
"I'll go home in the near future, and I don't know if I can have the opportunity to drink a glass of princess wine."
Leping obviously saw it, and there was a little disappointment between his eyebrows.
For two days in a row, the two princesses came to the door several times, except for the first time, Yang Yunqiu personally received them, and made it clear, and at other times, they refused to even see them, and only let the students entertain them.
This kind of thing, it is rude for others to do it, but he is the head of the Yang Family Academy, strictly speaking, the emperor is also half of his disciple, even if he does not receive the princess, the literati in the capital can only praise him for not admiring wealth and nobility.
Yang Yunqiu still sat in the study and wrote, sometimes just remembering something, he wrote a few words, about the reform of the government, about armaments, about taxes, and so on.
He has countless materials for reference in later generations, and dolls to help investigate various details of this dynasty, which is not too difficult to write.
Yang Yunqiu suddenly had a little bad taste, he wanted to get a 'prophecy book' and pretend to be a magic calculation.
Although the trajectory of this world is completely different from that on the earth, the development of things will always have something in common, and he recorded the things of the later world in illusory, not so clear, but understandable language, bit by bit, and then wrote down his guidance on various things in different categories, and did not need to be very specific, but he could point out a path.
In fact, to grope your way forward in the dark, it is enough to have a bright light. If you can avoid some of the traps and avoid some detours, you will have a complete merit.
These things will be sealed in the school, and only the next mountain chief will be able to see them if he breaks through the levels he has set, and it is also fun to make such a treasure hunt game.
The doll was clearly more interested than he was.
The two of them were stuffed in the study all day long, all day long, and even the students couldn't easily see them, and as for the princess, they only listened to the students discuss a few words when they were eating and resting.
I don't know exactly what happened, but the wedding date was set.
Princess Leping will go to Ulin half a month later.
A lot seems to have happened this time, Leping wants to let Xinghua do the marriage, and uses a lot of means, but unfortunately, the emperor is not a puppet emperor who is willing to be at the mercy of others, and the most decided-down candidate is still Leping.
The matter must be done, and Princess Xinghua will stop and stop coming to the academy to make trouble.
Yang Yunqiu smiled: "It is said that Princess Xinghua is delicate and willful, but now it seems that she is not a straightforward woman, but a princess who can grow in the palace for so many years." ”
The emperor's harem is not easy to stay in.
The princes, princesses, and concubines who died in those years, the bones can almost drown most of the imperial city, and those who survive must have something surprising.
It's just that I don't know what it looks like to see the emperor watch his children and relatives die one by one, but he doesn't do anything, just looks on coldly, what is it like!
By the time Princess Leping set off, it was almost the time for the New Year.
Wu Mi was also ruthless, and let the princess spend years in the capital.
coincided with the New Year's Festival, and it was rare for Yang Yunqiu not to be in the study, leading the students to dress up the academy.
There's so much going on this year. The emperor obviously also wanted to take advantage of the New Year to have a lively time. It is also good to drive away bad luck. He specially rewarded the courtiers generously, and also gave some rice grain to the people in the capital.
Yang Yunqiu's academy is also full of joy.
Before the festival, many parents of students, the families of Zhenbei Army, and other relatives and friends came to the door with large bags of gifts.
The mountain protection array at the entrance of the academy is a barrier in and out. Yang Yunqiu refused to close it, so she simply adjusted the illusion inside, so that all the students and guests who came in and out could see the lively New Year's program, and every time they went in and out, they saw different entertainment programs.
Someone saw the merman singing.
Fairies were seen dancing.
There are also people who see the magnificent scene of fire trees and silver flowers that never sleep.
The guests came in the morning, but they did not deliver the gifts to the host until the evening, and they were determined to leave when they could not leave the mountain protection array.
A lot of students. In order to see all the beautiful scenery, I ran into the phantom array over and over again. In the past, they were tired of letting them exercise, but now they are tired and sweating, and they can't notice it.
Yang Yunqiu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to order someone to prepare food and drink, and send it to those hungry guests who refused to leave, Cui Huaixin couldn't help laughing: "Mr. is so hospitable, everyone is afraid that they are even more reluctant to leave." ”
"It's rare for the New Year, and it's okay for everyone to have a good time."
Gao Ming also had a good time, and turned his head and smiled: "Sir, when will I get one at our house, the New Year's party will be broadcast every year, it is really more and more boring, the singing and dancing are not good-looking, the cross talk is getting worse and worse every time, and the sketches are getting more and more boring......
Yang Yunqiu smiled: "You haven't seen it, how do you know that the road is not good?" ”
Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival Gala is performed on TV, Wang Yi and Gao Ming hold the computer and watch TV on the Internet, and Liu Sheng likes to watch the Spring Festival Gala, where are others willing to watch TV?
Nowadays, there are more and more entertainment programs, and there are fewer and fewer people looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala.
The lively New Year's Festival has passed.
The students who were left behind in the academy, Yang Yunqiu, Cui Huaixin, Zhou Yufeng, Wang Baozhu, etc., also entered the court.
In the Spring Festival, Yang Yunqiu suddenly announced that he would stop accepting students, and handed over the burden of the mountain chief to Cui Huaixin, so that he could not step down until the next generation of mountain chiefs was trained.
The whole capital was shaken.
You must know that Lu Dao, over the years, the reputation of their Yang Family Academy is higher than that of the four major academies, especially after Yang Yunqiu led the students to save so many literati in Fangzhou when the barbarians pressed the realm, the Yang Family Academy vaguely has the meaning of becoming a holy place for scholars, and I don't know how many students have worked hard and plan to be admitted.
No matter how noisy it was outside, Yang Yunqiu carried out the handover in an orderly manner.
He had already expressed this meaning in the academy, and even the little emperor knew about it, so that it didn't cause any riots, but the students were reluctant, that's for sure.
However, Yang Yunqiu was not in a hurry to leave.
He promised Wu Mi to hand over his skills to the imperial court, of course, he would not miss the contract, not only gave the books, but also stared at the craftsmen recruited by Wu Mi and made a few samples, so he was relieved.
He was so conscientious and not perfunctory, Wu Mi was also grateful, and he felt a little guilty - Mr. Yang treated him Chicheng, but he had reservations and was always on guard, which was really undeserved.
Of course, the little emperor still has a lot to do, and he doesn't have long to be sad.
After a big battle with the barbarians, although the court was greatly impacted, the biggest impact was still those big families, and their strength in the court was sharply reduced.
Wu Mi took the opportunity to take out all the things that had been discussed for a long time in the Yang Family Academy and implemented them the same.
First of all, the imperial examination, there is nothing to say about this, it is just logical, the official selection assessment and the imperial examination are almost the same, it has been carried out for many years, and a large number of talents have long been accumulated.
After that, he made a move on the family.
This time, the imperial court has made a lot of efforts, and has already found out all kinds of information, and the officials sent to Lu are also very honest and capable, and they want to make a career wholeheartedly.
After that, there are the three that 'Yongzheng' made.
Of course, the resistance to 'spreading the land into the acre', 'returning the fire consumption to the public', 'one errand and one grain', is of course very great, but several years ago, Wu Mi and the students discussed it repeatedly in the academy, and imagined all kinds of troubles, although it is really troublesome, he is not worried at all.
It's just that there is a little bit that the little emperor wants to revoke the political affairs hall, but Yang Yunqiu not only did not help, but also let him experience the harm of not having a political affairs hall.
Anyway, Wu Mi was tossed, and he completely understood that he wanted to be a real and honest emperor without any constraints, and it was impossible for him to be the emperor of the political hall, and the officials of the political hall could be replaced, but they couldn't do without.
Although they were only low-level officials at first, the little emperor apparently began to train them to become his cronies, so that he could take over the political hall in the future.
Yang Yunqiu smiled, and suddenly wanted to see the students he cultivated in the future, but one by one they had 'backbones' in the back of their heads, and some naively believed in 'democracy' and believed in 'the people and gentlemen', but they couldn't see it on their faces, all of them were honest people, and they really wanted to know what this court would develop into after Lu Dao!
In fact, many years later, Yang Yunqiu revisited his hometown and found that he had a lot of titles, such as 'pioneer of democracy', 'great educator', 'painter', 'artist', and the most mysterious title is that he is a real 'prophet'.
His handwritten book, a thick set of prophecies covering science and technology, medical care, literature, and politics, has become the treasure of the country, and every year I don't know how many thieves are intriguing over a fragment.
There is also the 'utopia' he wrote, which was completely regarded as gibberish for a period of time in his early years, and was said to be a 'dream' of Mr. Yang, and now it has become the most famous masterpiece in the world, and everyone must read. (To be continued......)
