Chapter 132 A New Type of Clan-Vassal Relationship
There have been some strange things in the historical transmission ceremony.
For example, a certain champion Xu Kaikai, was put on a list of eyes, spent money to buy through the inner servant closed the door and did not allow him to enter, as soon as the time of the ceremony came, the main point was that Xu Kaifang, who was the champion, cried outside the city and couldn't enter the city, and the list of eyes entered a champion who became a champion.
Liu Yu doesn't have to worry about this problem, at least no one in the DPRK and China dares to put himself like this at this time.
After passing the preliminary examination, the brocade clothes worn by Chuanyu Day have been distributed.
As a direct force of the imperial power, Wude Palace is also a kind of grace in order to show the meaning of "martial virtue", and it can be said that you can go to the palace with a sword on the same day.
Early in the morning, it was still early in the morning, and the Yiguo Mansion was already busy.
Swift and a few other maids got up earlier, and brought the brocade clothes that had no dust at all after careful inspection, to ensure that there were no wrinkles on it.
He changed into a brocade robe, put on a samurai's leather band, and put two decorative feathers on his head. I checked the short sword that Rong En Infinite Sword had worn in the temple that day.
Dressed up slightly, the swift looked at Liu Yu as if she was threading a needle and looking at the eye of a needle at night.
"The third master will be the leader today."
Several maids also said a festive word, but Liu Yu said: "I don't know." The dynasty is full of talents, and it is prosperous, how dare you be arrogant? ”
In terms of the title, it is "hand-picked", so this should be more low-key. At the very least, it still has to be pretended.
After cleaning up, it was not yet dawn, and other places in the Guogong Mansion were also lit.
Liu Yu hurriedly went to see his mother to do the morning province, and his mother had already gotten up, looked at Liu Yu who was wearing the brocade dress of the ceremony, smiled with relief, and told him not to delay here.
At the beginning of the morning, it was about seven o'clock in the morning, and the ceremony was about to begin.
You have to line up outside the noon gate at five o'clock, and you have to leave home even earlier.
All the way to the noon gate, it was still early, and the ministers had their own special rooms to rest.
Liu Yu's group of people waiting for the ceremony had nowhere to go, and in order to prevent them from wanting to and pee during the ceremony, they couldn't eat food or drink water.
Waiting for boredom, and they are all classmates of Wude Palace, so they have to get together to smoke and chat and fart, and when they are tired of standing, they squat on the ground, and they have a bit of Sanhe Dashen who is waiting for the end of the day.
Dashun compares himself to Li Tang, and the official name of this noon gate is actually Wufeng Tower.
However, just like the six governments or the six ministries in private, there are many slippery mouths.
The Taihe Hall of later generations was renamed the Chongyi Hall after the recovery of the capital, but after the stability of the government, it was changed back to the Fengtian Palace, which was a bit of a taste of changing the "Juyi Hall" to the "Zhongyi Hall".
The generalissimo of Fengtian advocates righteousness is now ordered by heaven, not advocating righteousness and protecting the people.
As soon as the door opened at noon, the ministers entered in batches.
Until the end, Liu Yu and the others who participated in the queue for the exam a few days ago entered from the door, and when they arrived near Jinshui Bridge, they had to form a whole team.
Maybe it's not so strict on weekdays, but today is a ceremony, and there are a bunch of people who may enter the imperial city for the first time, and the imperial historians and ceremonial officials have repeatedly reiterated their attention to manners.
The musicians are in place, under the eaves of the Fengtian Temple. The yellow case was ready, and Emperor Luan came with a drum and music.
The ministers from all walks of life were in place, Liu Yu and others followed, and according to the results of the preliminary examination, the left and right sides were inserted and arranged behind the ministers.
When the music stopped, the chief of the Tianyou Palace, Zuo Ping Zhangshi, came to Luan Jia with three test papers and read the first volume.
After reading a few words, Liu Yu heard that it was the article he wrote silently, and the last bit of worry came to naught.
Standing in line with him, you can imagine that the mood at this time must be lost.
It's just that after reading a thousand words, it stopped abruptly, and changed to the next strategy of "controlled soldiers".
Liu Yu originally wanted to make some big news, but he had already asked about the various things about the ceremony, and knew that Zuo Ping would read the article in front of everyone.
That's why he wrote some topics about "the view of the world", thinking that it would lead to a heated discussion, but who would have thought that he would only read the first short paragraph and ignore it directly?
This made him very unhappy.
After the volume was read, the name was opened, and Zuo Ping Zhangshi handed the volume to the emperor.
Wude Palace elected Lang Guan, who is the emperor's descendant, so it is also the emperor who names him to show the emperor's personal guard.
"The son of Liu Sheng, the Duke of Yiguo, Liu Yu, is the leader!"
With my father's name in front, I should be worried about the situation of duplicate names, in case two people are out of the queue at the same time, it will be a little embarrassing.
The guards in front of the main hall shouted in unison, and after shouting Liu Yu's name three times, Liu Yu stepped out from behind, just under the steps, and knelt on one knee.
On the day of the preaching, the sword went to the temple, not the salute of five bows and three knocks, but the military salute, in order to live up to the meaning of martial virtue.
Then the second and third were pointed out.
There is no need to read the volumes in the future, and after the names are called, they will be listed in turn to meet the emperor.
After the ceremony, the emperor selected ten more people and went to the Heavenly Blessing Hall to ask for the right ones, and finally selected two more from the top three and the remaining seven people, made up five, and awarded the position of Dragon Praetorian Guard.
Once you are granted the Dragon Guard, you can follow the emperor to participate in the court meeting, have the right to observe, and have no qualifications to play.
is also qualified to observe some government affairs in the Tianyou Palace, but whether the key military is qualified to observe according to the emperor's trust level is also not the right and responsibility to deliberate.
Licheng, the ministers dispersed, and the ten people selected by Liu Yu and others lined up in turn, surrendered their weapons in front of the Tianyou Palace, and waited at the door in turn to ask the right question.
He was the leader and the first to be called in.
Stepping in, the door closed, just like an interview in a previous life, the emperor sat in the center, and the five Pingzhangshi sat on the left and right.
The sword was handed in, and at this time, he had to kneel five times and knock three times before the emperor, kneeling on the ground and waiting for questioning.
The first to ask is the Pingzhang affairs, and finally the emperor asks a question.
In general, the general situation is also to go through a process, and the top three are inevitably awarded, only the latter few elect two people who need to ask some questions, and the emperor selects the candidates.
It's just that Liu Yu's policy writing has led to too many questions, and this inquiry is extremely unusual, not just a simple process.
The British Duke looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, his face was expressionless, and he took the lead in asking: "Liu Yu, it seems reasonable for you to compare Nanyang with the Western Regions, but how to use it, but there are a few questions to be taught." ”
Liu Yu saluted the British public again: "Please ask Zuo Pingzhang about it." ”
"According to your words, it is necessary to build up the navy. What is the difference between this navy and a naval division? ”
"Back to Pingzhang, the navy is like a guard army, and the navy is a forbidden army in Beijing. Sailors can only inspect and suppress thieves; The navy can compete above the waves. The navy division of this dynasty is weak, and I am afraid that it is no match for the enemy at sea. It is to build a navy, and His Majesty and the Heavenly Blessing Hall are directly under the control. It does not confine itself to one side, but moves everywhere, suppressing the enemy and fighting if there is an enemy. ”
The British Duke nodded and asked again: "The water master is not sluggish, not a day's cold." According to what you said, how can the sailors be prosperous if they are not defeated by the Westerners? ”
"Huiping Zhangshi: Shiyi Changji."
The four words of Shiyi's long skills did not cause any turmoil.
Connecting China and the West in order to win, and mastering Yi's long skills to control Yi, it is just the expression of the same meaning in the contrast of different forces.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the gap was not so big, and there was still the confidence and thought of "striving for victory". Feeling that you can not only learn, but also surpass.
When it comes to the time when the master is strong enough to control the razor, it is too far away to surpass or something, and it is a blessing to be able to control the raze.
Liu Yu already had an idea in his heart, since the British Duke asked, he knew that the British Duke had a tough attitude on the Korean matter, so he thought that his idea should be approved by him.
"Westerners are good at it, the navy is the strongest, and the dynasty is unmatched, so they can learn from it."
"Wechen has captured some good seafarers in northern Xinjiang, and they have all participated in the naval construction of the Rakshasas."
"Among them, Bering and others are good at navigation; Cherikov, Sven and others were once captains of warships. All military. Can be hired as a teacher to teach students. ”
"The army of the national dynasty has members of the Wude Palace. Fortunately, thanks to Taizong's foresight, the students of Wude Palace all studied geometry and surveying and mapping. ”
"If the navy is built, a new section can be opened in the Wude Palace, and navigation will be emphasized instead of cavalry and archery; Heavy artillery instead of heavy birds. Intern in Western Naval Law, and within five years, you will be able to have the first batch of officers. ”
"I also captured some Rakshasa carpenters in Heilongjiang, and they can also build ships. In five years' time, there will be a sailor who can sail long distances using Western techniques, and although they will not be able to sail around the world, they will have no problem sailing directly to Japan. ”
When the British public heard the "five-year" deadline, they were slightly relieved.
What he is most afraid of is that Liu Yu will make an earth-shaking change in order to cater to the emperor's mentality of being overjoyed and seeking urgency, which is going to happen to a big thing.
He is old, and he can see that the emperor wants to reuse Liu Yu.
I was afraid that after my death, no one in the court would be able to take my position, and the emperor would support too many young people who were too enterprising in order to confront the conservatives, causing a catastrophe.
Hearing Liu Yu say this, he gave a five-year deadline to train the first batch of officers, and his purpose was only to be able to fly directly to Japan, which sounded more conservative than he thought, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He also asked: "What do you mean by 'raising the navy with the navy'?" ”
Liu Yu said to the emperor: "Weichen, please take the affairs of Korea and Japan as examples. I don't really want to do this, but just give an example, if there is a violation of the Rende Sect, please don't blame Your Majesty. ”
Everyone saw Liu Yu's strategy and knew that his remarks were too violent and completely domineering.
At this time, he said that he was just borrowing two nearby countries as examples, but he was not really talking about those two countries.
But then again, everyone thinks that this has not fallen on these two countries?
The emperor nodded, and just wanted to hear Liu Yu's opinion, how to "raise the navy with the navy", so he said: "It doesn't hurt you to say it." This North Korea is not another North Korea, and this Japan is not another Japan. ”
"Don't spread it out, so as not to surprise the clan."
Liu Yu said: "For example, in Japan, there is a lot of silver and a lot of copper. However, the country is closed to the rest of the world, and the volume of trade is small. And if it is switched, then I will rush in towards raw silk, cotton cloth, and so on. ”
"Every year, not only can you get silver, but you can also get copper to mint money and alleviate the money shortage."
"But the Japanese people are closed off from the country, unwilling to trade, and have never been court."
"If we have a navy in our dynasty, cross the sea and surround it, force it to switch trade, and make it pay tribute, so that we can get silver and copper in a year, how much more than a million?"
"If the Western countries also ask for trade with Japan, then Japan has already paid tribute, and it is a vassal of our dynasty, and our navy will help Japan resist the Westerners."
"If we can resist it, then aren't all the silver and copper in Japan from our dynasty? In the past, the Zheng family monopolized Japanese trade and earned one million a year, so they were able to raise a sailor. If Japan was able to trade, wouldn't that be enough to raise a navy? ”
"It's called, raising the navy with the navy."
"It is only allowed to trade with our Korea, and not with Westerners; Japan is not allowed to build warships, and Japan's coastal defense is to be taken over by our DPRK; Since our dynasty is the suzerain, if the Westerners attack Japan, our dynasty will be responsible for repelling, and if there is civil strife in Japan, our dynasty will help to pacify it. It's called ...... A new type of vassal relationship. ”
