Chapter 90: Tips

"Three thousand miles! Expand the border to the north for 3,000 miles! ”

Since the missionaries brought such things as world maps and globes, they have expanded the understanding of the concept of "Tianxia" and made the emperor have an additional hobby...... Look at the map.

The experience of coloring games is a supreme treat for those who hold the imperial power.

In particular, the conclusion of the treaty with Russia, accompanied by the map of Siberia and the Far East sent by Bering, is even more intuitive.

During the court meeting, a huge map specially made after splicing was placed in the court, and the emperor was full of energy and smug in front of the ministers.

In addition to the map, the eunuch also held two rubbings in his hand.

One is the inscription of Yongning Temple that Liu Yu has already rubbed.

The other is the "Yanran Mountain Stone Carving" that Liu Yu was idle during the negotiations at Lake Belga, and sent someone to Hangai Mountain to find it.

The stone carvings of this class stubbornly penned, after two thousand years of wind and rain, although it is no longer clear, but it can still read the grandeur of the Han Dynasty Feng Wolf Juxu and Yan Ran Le Shi.

The stone carvings are easy to find, Liu Yu has the memory of his previous life, and remembers very well the discovery of Yanran Le Stone a few years ago, which is near Hangai Mountain and the Altai Mountain Pass, not the west of the Altai Mountains that he has been looking for before.

Just like the inscription of Yongning Temple, even if the words on it are no longer recognized by the local tribes, they will always worship and pray when they go there.

Sent people to ask the Khalkha tribe near Hangai Mountain, and soon found the red stone mountain. Rubbing the text, together with the inscription of Yongning Temple and the map of the treaty with Russia, it was sent back to the capital.

This sycophant shot loudly and comfortably.

The ancient war exploits, the first of the eternal recitations, one is the wolf Juxu, and the other is Yanran Shile.

The Tang people are good at martial arts, and they compare themselves with each other.

The poem says: The bicycle wants to ask the side, and the subject country lives in the extended. Zheng Peng out of Hanse, return to the wild goose into Hu Tian. The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river. Xiao Guan is waiting to ride, and he is protected by Yanran!

The Khalkha Mongols submitted, and the wolf Juxu was already in the territory; The 2,000-year-old stone carvings on Hangai Mountain are now expanding.

Even though the courtiers had their own thoughts, they could hear the female officials reading in a low voice and frustrating with the records in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that they had recited since childhood, and there were almost no missing words, but there were a few more tone words such as "Xi" and "Sui", and when they saw that the words on this rubbing, they still knew all of them...... After all, it turned into an exhilarating cheer.

It's hard to imagine the feeling of traveling through thousands of years, and the excitement of witnessing what was recorded in the history books more than 1,000 years ago.

Liu Sheng, the Duke of Yiguo, stood in the inner hall, holding a wat board to block his laughing back molars, thinking that although Lao Tian was presiding over this matter on the surface, his own son actually contributed greatly.

At today's court meeting, the emperor has already mentioned Liu Yu's name several times, especially after Yan Ran Shile's rubbing book was taken out, he praised it twice.

Now the name is not right, and he is not qualified to participate in the court, but his reputation has first spread among the courtiers.

Before, because of his military merits, he had been awarded the rank of captain of the light car, and now that he has the merit of negotiating and demarcating the boundary, wouldn't he have the honor of the three-grade protector?

The elder has no great power, and if he takes the title, the emperor should not let the Yiguo Gongzhi be in charge of military affairs in order to check and balance. This is also a good thing, the elder is mediocre, if he is in charge of the real government, he will take trouble. It's better to be like yourself, preside over the Rong Grace Banquet and make sacrifices for the royal family.

It's just that I don't know what the emperor wants to use Liu Yu for? From the current point of view, entering the upper house of Wude Palace is already a certainty, geometry, arithmetic, surveying and mapping, riding, firecrackers, etc. are not bad, what is bad is the writing of the strategy, this is to find a bunch of Qingke in advance, write a hundred and ten articles in advance to memorize.

If you enter the upper house of Wude Palace, the dragon is forbidden, but you can be martial arts, and it is difficult to say how it will be arranged.

"Most likely going to the Northwest?"

After judging it in my heart, I felt that it was unlikely.

Think about it that day, because Liu Yu went to Nu'er to do the affairs of the capital, and he had a big quarrel with Lao Tian blowing his beard and glaring at him, and now I am afraid that when Lao Tian comes back, he will have a banquet.

Directly above the main hall, the emperor enjoyed the pleasure of "opening up the territory on the map", and took advantage of the excitement of everyone to say loudly: "The Rakshasa mission will arrive in Beijing soon." The government and Honglu Temple should also issue a charter as soon as possible, how to receive it? ”

When Xi'an was established, Honglu Temple and Taichang Temple had been incorporated into the Li government as its subordinates, but it was still not a complete subordinate jurisdiction.

Honglu Siqing came forward and said: "The national court ceremony, there are tributes and tributes, but there is no 'diplomatic' gift. According to the example of the North Korean mission, the courtesy is somewhat slight. The government also has the responsibility of paying tribute, and the minister thought that since the Rakshasa country was not a foreign vassal, in the future, France, Helan, Portugal, etc., would follow this example, and also asked the government of the Rakshasa to preside over the matter. Honglu Temple only executes, does not decide. ”

The ball was kicked to the government again.

The Li government doesn't want to take this hot potato, according to the previous experience, it's not easy to learn from Song Liao and Song Jin, right? The experience of the previous dynasties, let alone learning, and there is no country around that can have equal diplomatic qualifications with the Ming Dynasty.

So the secretary of the government also came forward and said: "This is not a trivial matter, the minister thinks that it is appropriate for His Majesty to agree on a charter with the Tianyou Palace Pingzhang Military and State Affairs." It is not the minister's prevarication, but it is actually a matter that the government can decide, nor can Honglu Temple decide. ”

"If there is diplomacy, how will the Rakshasa delegation come in the future? What are the examples of the French Mission and the French Mission? North Korea, the Ryukyus, etc., what about it? In addition to the foreign service, there are other states, which is unprecedented and cannot be determined by the ministers. ”

The ball was kicked to the Heavenly Blessing Hall and the Emperor again, and there is no precedent for this matter for the time being, let alone what benefits it will be in the future. But it's likely to get into trouble right now.

The Li government and Honglu Temple thought clearly in their hearts, and they did not formulate policies, but only implemented them. If you still preside over such a thing as formulating policies, then what do you want the Heavenly Blessing Hall to do?

Moreover, such a thing as equal diplomacy violates the taboo of the dignity of the Celestial Empire.

Dashun does not have the original name of the six branches, but there are six advice on changing the soup without changing the medicine, and the six advice officials have bright eyes, and they have been suffocating it recently, and they don't know who to take the knife.

But today is a festive day, there are both maps and Yanran Shile, it is estimated that the counselors are holding back their energy, and it is not good to have a seizure today.

Anyway, it is necessary for the Heavenly Blessing Hall to issue regulations and formulate the general direction. There is no precedent to follow, and it is certainly not possible to copy the set of foreign vassal vassals such as the Korean Ryukyus when they paid tribute.

Li Gan also knew about the trouble, and wanted to let the Li government and Honglu Temple pick up the ball, but they just pretended to be stupid, didn't take it at all, and kicked it back.

Everyone kicked the ball for a while, only to get a sentence of "Scatter!" ”

One day in the next few months, Li Gan fled from the spitting stars in the court, and the counselors were simply brain-blowing.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the exchange of 300,000 taels of silver for Nebuchu and Yaske has finally been spread.

There is a silver mine near Nebuchu, which the Russians have already begun to mine, although the amount is not large, but it will definitely not be refunded without giving enough money.

After doing the math, the money for sending 5,000 people plus dozens of cannons to Nebuchu must be a lot. Such an exchange is worth it in the eyes of the Heavenly Blessing Palace.

But the sense of déjà vu of this matter is too strong, and for a while, comparisons such as "old things in Song Liao" are flying all over the sky.

When Xinshun opened the country, Li Guo engaged in revanchism a little fiercely, and sprayed the Tanyuan Alliance into a loss of power and humiliation of the country.

This was a fierce medicine at the time, after all, the fucking Nanjing had fallen, Jiangyin had been slaughtered, and there were still a bunch of fucking doctors who surrendered, and the overkill would be overkill; It's just that the stamina of this powerful medicine is really a bit big.

The Six Advisors and the Imperial History Desk are dedicated to this, and in a sense, they are the real defenders of tradition. If there is no etiquette system and no tribute, it is not considered the Celestial Empire. Now it is actually necessary to engage in the coexistence of the two emperors, and it is even possible to engage in diplomacy with foreign vassals in the future......

What is it called?

This is called the collapse of the kingdom, and the world re-enters the Warring States.

The Celestial Empire, from the Celestial Empire, has been reduced to a prince under the new world and the concept of the world, and wants to follow the story of the Seven Heroes with Russia, France, Britain and other countries?

This is an intolerable regression, even a step back of two thousand years, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is really difficult to accept emotionally.

This is not a gap and despair that has not been so painful after a crow.

The cultural self-confidence of the Celestial Empire, if it collapsed just because of some progress in Western learning, would not be able to stand in heaven and earth for 4,000 years, and it would have perished and risen again several times.

Moreover, this matter is not as simple as being advanced in Western learning, but that the world view of the tributary system is no longer good, but it must be integrated into the Westphalian system.

What they did, according to the consciousness of this time, is not wrong at all - people at this time, dare to imagine a hundred years from now that they will be nominally sovereign equal with small countries like North Korea, Vietnam or even San Marino?

The emperor is not easy to punish, so he can only talk about the light for several days, the small dynasty will fight, and the big dynasty will argue.

The six counselors have read the scriptures, is Li Gan an opponent? Not to mention being sprayed with dog blood, but it's not too much.

After spraying Li Gan spraying Qi Guogong, spraying Qi Guogong spraying Liu Yu, spraying Liu Yu spraying Xixue is the study of barbarians: I heard that Xia changed the Yi, but I didn't hear of the Yi!

When the king of Joseon inherited, the government of Li sent an individual to canonize it; In the story of the previous dynasty, Japan rebelled in Korea, and also canonized Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the king of Japan; This Rakshasa Tsar ascended the throne, and the Celestial Empire actually sent a special mission to celebrate?

Today, after dispersing and escaping from the battlefield full of sparks, when he was anxious, the eunuch reminded: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu has returned first." According to the courtesy, it should be done. ”

Li Gan rubbed his head and said, "Tell him to go home and hide...... Well, a few days off. When the Duke of Qi returns, let's talk about it. Spread the word, just say that he must be tired from running along the way, and he has the merit of expanding the land and fixing the border, so he is allowed to go home and rest first. ”

"No."

The eunuch was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Gan.

"Wait, send the books I annotated a few days ago to Liu Yu. Spread my words again: The test of the upper house of Wude Palace is the right way. If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government, and if you want to be in your position, you must first be right. The summer test in the Wude Palace is about to arrive, and the upper house is entered first. The third year of the autumn exam is just in time. ”

The eunuch received the order, held a few books annotated by the emperor, and went outside to pass on the will, and even the emperor did not finish the sentence "Go home and hide...... Uh, "I've got it all with me."
