Chapter 071: Joy Descends from the Sky
Wang De looked at His Highness who was walking around the study with an uneasy expression. It is said that the prince is still young, moody, and even crying from time to time is normal, but since he came to the mansion, he has only seen His Royal Highness cry once because of the reunion after being separated from Ni Liang. And although the prince's heart is difficult to change on weekdays, he is very mature and decisive in dealing with things, and he is even more calm than the stewards of the attached middle school, so that everyone gradually ignores the age of His Royal Highness, and they dare not treat it as a child.
"Wang De, have you prepared all the things for apprenticeship?" Just as Wang De was thinking about it, the prince suddenly stopped and asked.
"Your Highness, all the five horses of silk silk, two buckets of wine, and the five trims of Xiu (jerky) are all ready." Wang De was stunned and replied, His Royal Highness has asked this matter several times since he received Yi's decree.
"Well, be sure to prepare the best, don't be sloppy." Zhao Yu nodded, thought about it and said, "Isn't this gift a little light, do you need to add something?" ”
"Your Highness has thought a lot, this gift of cultivation is a universal gift in the world, from the prince, the prince of the country, the students of the four disciplines, and the gifts from the apprentices in the countryside and villages are all these, and there is no difference." Wang De smiled secretly in his heart, is His Highness so uneasy because of these little things? No, it must be because I was scared by Master Yuan Miao, and I heard that the palace had appointed a master and my heart was weak, and I wanted to send more things to seek peace of mind.
"Oh, that's it, but you have to order everyone in the house not to be rude to a few masters!" Zhao Yu hesitated and said, but it was definitely not what Wang De thought in his heart, but he felt a little incredible. Shu Xiu is equivalent to tuition at this time, if in modern times, I am afraid that even a fraction of the red envelopes given to the teacher on the New Year's Day are not enough, not to mention that for students like him who need many-to-one teaching, it is really cheap.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the little one has already been ordered, and he has also ordered someone to clean up a clean yard in the East Chamber, and everything that is used is good." Wang De replied.
"Well, let them eat in the kitchen, and the necessary supplies will be paid by the inner government, and two more people will be appointed to serve them, and they must not be lazy." Zhao Yu thought about it and commanded.
"Your Highness, the little one will go and watch from itself, and there will be no mistakes." Wang De replied, but he was a little impatient in his heart. The three people sent to the mansion this time, there have been a few times in the mansion, and the old ministers of the three dynasties were hired as royal friends, and the prince treated them well. And the other two are Jiang Xuan, the eldest son of the former prime minister Jiang Wanli, who served as the king of Yishan, and the other is Deng Guang, a student of his student when he was in charge of Bailuzhou Academy, and the two are not obvious in terms of qualifications and reputation compared with Ying Jieyan, and they are also responsible for teaching, but they are also subordinate officials in the palace, and it is a bit too much to provide together.
In fact, it is no wonder that Wang De thinks so, this Wang You is the prince's mentor and friend, and most of them are made by people who have both ability and political integrity, which is equivalent to Wang Shi. Of course, the status of the teacher and the subordinate is different, which is higher than that of the subordinate officials such as Yishan, storyteller and attendant, and the etiquette in daily life is also different.
"It's good to be clear, you have to be strict and supervised, and there must be no rudeness." Wang De's careful thinking Zhao Yu saw it at a glance, and emphasized once again that he knew that ancient and modern things were valued by leaders, and the people under him would pay attention, so he impatiently repeated instructions, and he was not without reason......
In ancient times, when the prince left the cabinet, the emperors would select subordinate officials for him, because they knew that the prince's subordinates were not only a team of teachers who tutored the prince, but also a think tank for the prince to deal with political affairs, so as to assist the prince in handling government affairs. And the royal palace officials and the prince have a close relationship, and most of them are the prince's henchmen, once the prince ascends the throne, the royal palace subordinates are often "with their protection of the grace of the fu, the effect of protection" and be reused. Therefore, he was very cautious in choosing his subordinates for the prince, especially paying attention to virtue and ability.
And Zhao Hao's environment at the moment is particularly bad, this is to be ready to go to Mongolia at any time to 'send death', so Empress Dowager Yang is cautious, not only to fulfill the responsibility of teaching, but also to shoulder the task of protecting her safety. Zhao Hao also knows a little about the selection of people, and he can understand the performance of the courtiers, after all, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and all people cannot be expected to have the sentiment of sacrificing themselves, and besides, isn't it the same for themselves!
So when Zhao Hao heard about the subordinate officials who came to work, especially after learning about their resumes, Zhao Hao felt in a trance, but he didn't expect that someone really came to burn the cold stove, and he was a very famous person. Needless to say, he has the title of both civil and military jinshi on his back; On virtue is also a prominent official reputation, rich qualifications, and admired. After several contacts, he had the intention to summon him into the house, but thinking that he was a 'small family', lacking people and little money, he was afraid that his refusal would make everyone look bad, and he would not even have a chance in the future, so he hesitated and did not start, but he did not expect a good dream to come true.
Jiang Xuan is not bad, he is the eldest son of the former prime minister Jiang Wanli, but he has been taught by his uncle Jiang Wanzai since he was a child, and he has practiced water and land formations in Poyang Lake and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. After the age of thirteen, he lived in Lin'an with his uncle and studied at the Lin'an official school nearby. When he became an adult, he returned to his hometown and entered the government with Jiang You. At the age of forty, he had served as a minister of the Ministry of Affairs, and invited Lang Jin to serve as the right servant of the army, and sent Lingnan Deqing Mansion to know the military state, and was later awarded the title of the secretary of the military department, and also promoted the Changping tea and salt official affairs on Guangnan East Road.
After the expiration of the second governor, Jiang Xuan did not continue to enter the court, but obeyed the order of his uncle Wan Zaigong, did not live in the prosperous mansion, served his mother Deng and settled in the mountainous area of western Guangdong with his children and grandchildren, and settled in Deqing, a military stronghold of Liangguang, and built a fortress to organize volunteers to resist Mongolia, resisted the enemy for a long time, and after the defeat, he was exiled in Guangzhou and still rectified the rout and recruited volunteers, and sent a large number of soldiers to the imperial court.
Another Deng Guang recommended to listen to it well, when he was a teenager, he studied in the Bailuzhou Academy founded by Jiang Wanli, and he did not enter the Shi and lived in seclusion at home, and his teacher Jiang Wanli repeatedly recommended him to be a member of the Shi and declined. However, after the Mongol invasion of the south, he changed his habits and left home to follow the military of the king of Qin, causing the old and young in the family to die in the Xiangshan soldiers. After the establishment of the Xing Dynasty, he returned to the dynasty and served as Zongzheng Temple, and his knowledge and virtue were excellent.
If Jiang Xuan and Zhao Yu still have no impression, they know a little about Deng Guang's recommendation, but no one knows about it now, because that is still a matter for the future. After the defeat of Yashan, 'himself' was carried by Lu Xiufu and jumped into the sea, and the soldiers and civilians also committed suicide in the sea. I don't know if it's luck or bad luck, I was rescued by the Yuan army when I jumped into the sea twice, and I went north with Wen Tianxiang, singing peace in the boat, and later was left in Jiankang because of illness and did not continue to go north.
After getting along for a long time, the Mongols found that he only had literary talent and no ability to govern the country, and it was not enough to reduce it, and it was not enough to kill him to capture the hearts of the Han people in the world, so they released him after being imprisoned for many years. After the death of Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Song Dynasty, his son Zhang Qi took his father's position and welcomed Deng Guang into the mansion as a master to teach his children and grandchildren. There are also some achievements, which have made many talents emerge in the Zhang family, and they have not faded for decades. From this point of view, Zhao Yu felt that Deng Guangjian was indeed not an official, but he was a good teacher, but he still had some pimples in his heart because of what he did later.
Anyway, the situation is better than expected. And Zhao Yu also deeply felt the love of the Empress Dowager Yang, these three people can be said to have experience in the army, especially Ying Jieyan and Jiang Xuan have personally experienced the battle formation, commanded thousands of troops and horses, and must be able to deal with things without surprise and have the talent for rapid changes, and they are completely prepared to 'fall into the enemy's territory', and they can also help them get out at critical moments. Moreover, these three people are all related to the Jiang family, which shows that the Queen Mother relies on the Jiang family and is at ease with them.
The arrival of the three of them now is like a long drought and a rain for Zhao Yu who is in a difficult situation, which not only enables him to understand and familiarize himself with this world as soon as possible. And with their help, they can also quickly build a network of relationships throughout the government and the opposition, especially at this critical moment of going and staying, he can be said to have been closely related to the Jiang family, and Jiang Wanzai, the head of the Jiang family, has a relationship, it is true that Zhao Yu does not expect that such a fair and honest person will bend the law for personal gain, and as long as he has a little compassion, he will sway and make decisions that are beneficial to himself.
Earlier, Zhao Yu had already shown his 'magical' side when the two met, put forward his own opinions, and tactfully expressed his ambitions. Moreover, he believed that Ying Jieyan would definitely inform Jiang Wanzai of the content of the subsequent talks, which would have an impact on his judgment and decision-making. And these two preventive injections are still administered, and now they are inextricably linked, so they are a little more sure of the success of their plan to go to Qiongzhou for independent development.
However, it also shows that good people must be rewarded, and the Jiang family has been loyal to the country, with countless casualties and paid a great price. And as long as they don't die, the Great Song Dynasty doesn't die, and they will be emperors for another year and a half, and they will definitely be able to keep their peace and prosperity. But this is all for later, Zhao Yu knows that what he has to do now is to keep their people and their hearts. Therefore, even if these people are not greedy for wealth and enjoyment, and even teach themselves a lesson for this, as the saying goes, they will be able to feel their kindness if they do it with their own posture, and in this way, they also show their respect for teachers and talents to the world.
But in addition to the joy, Zhao Hao also has hidden worries, that is, with the arrival of these three people, coupled with Jiang Zongjie stationed in the mansion, the Jiang clan will form a new force in the mansion, and with their involvement in the affairs of the mansion, it may affect the pattern that has just formed in the mansion, and then form a split, so that the already weak force will be weakened. Of course, he doesn't want this to happen, and he also wants to dissolve the estrangement between all parties, so he can't help but prepare now......
