Chapter 148 The Son of Heaven Discusses Goose Lake Before the Banquet

In the harem, the cloud palace is the place of palace banquets, so it is also called the "Great Yan Palace".

When Deng Ruoshui and the others were led to the Cloud Palace, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. The horse lanterns that came from the artesian flow were turned bright, and they were hung high on the pillars of the Cloud Palace, illuminating the whole palace magnificently.

"When will the Son of Heaven come?" After being ushered into the seat by the chamberlain, Deng Ruoshui couldn't wait to ask.

"This slave doesn't know." The chamberlain replied with a faint smile.

In the past few days, the Dayan Hall has entertained ministers almost every night, first Yang Gu, Yang Shi and other relatives, then Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and other Confucians, and then Xuanxuan, Xue Ji and other remnants of the historical party. The three factions of the DPRK and China have been invited by the Son of Heaven almost once, and no matter what they think of this Son of Heaven, they all talked happily at the banquet.

Zhao Heju's methods shocked these courtiers, but except for Xuanxuan, Xue Ji and others, they were far from being subdued. Most of the courtiers are watching and watching, and there are quite a few people who have the mentality of watching jokes.

Deng Ruoshui nodded, looked back, and found that Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun were like him, and they were also a little at a loss, Yu Xuan was quite calm, and the other one who came with them was Xie Yue, who was the first to be thrown into prison because he attacked Liang Cheng, who had taken refuge in Shi Miyuan, and was also released in the past two days. In the inner garden of the palace, he didn't show timidity, on the contrary, looking at the eyes of the maids in the palace, Deng Ruoshui was shocked to sweat.

If these squinting eyes are seen by His Majesty, I am afraid that they will cause great disaster.

And how can a manly man indulge in women!

He is not familiar with Xie Yue, and he is old, although his madness has not changed back then, he just kept a calm face and patted Yu Xuan's arm: "Xie Anren is extremely rude, you persuade him." ”

Yu Xuan glanced at Xie Yue, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, the Son of Heaven is generous, and Xie Anren is also a celebrity, so it's okay." ”

Deng Ruoshui said: "The Son of Heaven is generous, but those who are ministers should not be arrogant, if you don't say it, I will say it." ”

Yu Xuan can be regarded as having comprehended his stinky temper, if he really has to speak, he is afraid that Xie Yue will quarrel with him. So he hurriedly stopped and said, "Little brother come, let the little brother come." ”

They each have their own positions, so it is not easy for them to leave at will, so he patted Zhao Jingyun in the next seat: "Brother Manqing, let Brother Anren keep the ceremony, this is a banquet for the Son of Heaven, it is not a tile!" ”

Zhao Jingyun has been watching his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, but he was afraid that his family would be rude, and he was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he noticed Xie Yue's eyes, and he snorted dissatisfiedly, and then pushed Li Shimin beside him.

When they pushed over one by one, Zhao Youju, Yelu Chucai, and Han Ping were talking and laughing in the side hall next to them.

Outside, Long Twelve led the secret camp of the Liuqiu Escort Team who had just entered the front of the hall, so they were not afraid of being overheard when they were talking and laughing in the side hall. Zhao Youju was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was still sitting straight at the waist, and when he looked at Yelu Chucai, there was always a smile in his eyes. Yelu Chucai didn't know that Zhao Heju was thinking about the important role he played in the establishment of the Hu dynasty in the original historical records of later generations, but the Son of Heaven admired himself very much, and he talked about it even more: "When the minister heard that the earth was actually spherical, he couldn't sleep well for several nights, and he always thought about the other side of the earth, why that person didn't fall into the chaos, and then he heard Chen Zicheng talk about gravity, and then he suddenly realized." Your Majesty, is this really what came to mind after the fruit of the tree hit His Majesty's head? ”

Zhao Youju smiled and nodded, and Yelu Chucai praised after seeing it: "Chunhua and Autumn Fruit, some people only know how to chant and sing lyrics when they see it, but Your Majesty can be poor in the world, which is really admirable to the ministers!" ”

"Let's talk to me more about the current situation of Liuqiu, and Ma Yi, have you already planted cinchona and rubber seeds?"

"It's all planted." Han Ping said: "The rubber and cinchona seeds brought from Dongshengzhou are more than 3,000 catties, and we occupy more than 100,000 acres of forest land in Sulu, so that the natives cut down the original miscellaneous trees and plant rubber and cinchona. However, the natives are lazy and very poor at work, so the villain wonders whether to move some people. ”

"Is it enough to ask for your own manpower?" Zhao Yoju asked.

"It's not enough, in the past, because of the eyes and ears of the government, I could only immigrate from Shandong and Yanyun, which was extremely slow, and in the future, I could immigrate from Qingyuan and Quanzhou, and the speed would be faster." Yelu Chucai said: "It's just that the minister has quite doubts in his heart, and it is not appropriate to immigrate too quickly." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Youju was a little surprised.

"The minister thinks that he is begging for ...... The people's mood is still a little different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, if there are too many immigrants too fast, I am afraid that some of the habits of the Great Song Dynasty will also be transmitted, which will damage His Majesty's original intention of pioneering and seeking. ”

Yelu Chucai's words made Zhao Heju slightly stunned, and then laughed, as a very outstanding figure in history, he could really see his purpose.

For him, Liuqiu is not only a base, a retreat, a place to hide his strength, but also a place for his experiments. If it is said that coaching young people in Yuzhang Villa is only a small-scale test, whether it can create a modern trend of thought in the Great Song Dynasty, then Liuqiu is a large experimental field similar to the "special zone" in later generations.

"Jin Qing really lived up to my expectations." Zhao Heju said with a smile: "This time, Jin Qing doesn't have to go back to beg, stay in Lin'an, and do a big thing for me." ”

"Banks?" Yelu Chucai only said two words.

"Hehe, the hero sees the same thing!" Zhao Youju's eyes flashed, and opening a bank would be his first step to change the Great Song Dynasty.

"The Great Song Dynasty has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, according to His Majesty's words in that booklet, if it cannot stabilize the financial and circulation, even if there are no Hu people and foreign criminals, the Yuan currency will be enough to crush the Great Song Dynasty." Yelu Chucai knew everything, he shook his head and said: "When the minister was in the Jin Kingdom, he also knew some major things, Shi Miyuan only knew about political disputes, not governing the country, only knowing how to issue coins indiscriminately, exploiting the people, losing the hearts of the people, and destroying the national strength, even if he died, he would not atone for his sins!" ”

"According to Jin Qing's opinion, if you want to stabilize the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, how should you act?"

"In addition to the shortage of money, stabilize the price of copper, slowly figure it out, don't be in a hurry." Yelu Chucai said.

"That's right, Jin Qing is really talented!" Zhao Heju nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say another when a little yellow door came and said, "Your Majesty, the time has come, please sit down." ”

Zhao Youju looked at the quarter of an hour, because he had a good conversation with Yelu Chucai and others, he actually forgot the time. He smiled and turned his head: "Jin Qing, let's go and meet those student leaders, make them prestigious, and I want them to be useful." ”

When Zhao Heju appeared in front of Deng Ruoshui and the others, these people hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhao Heju waved his hand casually and said: "There is no need to be formal, I only wear regular clothes, but I don't want the banquet to be ruined by some cumbersome etiquette." ”

Listening to Zhao and Ju speak easily, these student leaders all laughed.

"This beautiful bearded man is the Liuqiu Zheng Envoy Yelu Chucai." After asking everyone's names, Zhao Heju introduced Yelu Chucai to them: "He is Jinqing, knowledgeable, unparalleled in the world, you are close to him." ”

The name of the Liuqiu envoy has long been spread throughout Lin'an, and everyone sees that Yelu Chucai is extraordinary, and then looks at the other two envoys of Liuqiu, who are also born with good looks.

Yelu Chucai and Han Ping both have beautiful beards, and both of them are slender and jade-tree-facing in the wind, while Chen Zhaohua is also extraordinary. Compared with the three of them, Deng Ruoshui and Taixue students were weaker in terms of momentum, especially Xie Yue, whose eyes were dripping and rolling, which was quite obscene.

"Please don't be formal, you are here today, we don't care about the rank of the monarch and the minister, we only talk about academic interests." Zhao Youju first filled himself with a glass, and then raised his glass: "Drink this cup first." ”

At first, everyone was still a little detained, but Zhao and Ju were good at mobilizing the atmosphere on such occasions, first arousing everyone's interest in learning from the Goose Lake Meeting. Han Ping is still down, he is studying miscellaneous studies, so he just smiles and is silent, and Yelu Chucai and Chen Zhaohua can be said to be Confucianism in the north, and the sages and sages read no less than these students, so the two of them are talking eloquently, whether it is Ercheng or Zhu Zi, there are praises and disparages in their mouths, but they have a lot of respect for Chen Shi and Ye Liang.

"The two of them are not impressive, and their knowledge is beyond our reach, but it's a pity that they have gone astray in learning, Chen and Ye are utilitarian, how can they be as good as Zhu Zihu?" Li Shimin is a disciple of Zhen Dexiu, and Zhen Dexiu admires Zhu Xi the most, so he shook his head and said after some heated debate.

"Zhu Zi does have learning, but it is pseudo-learning." Yelu Chucai did not answer, but Chen Zhaohua became a pioneer: "He said that reading books is to observe the meaning of the sages, because of the will of the sages, to observe the principles of nature." But where does the meaning of the sages come from? Confucius is a saint, he has not heard of his birth and knows it, Zhou Gongxian has not heard of his birth and knows it, and Zhu Zizhe has not heard of it and knows it from birth. The meaning of the sages comes from practice, practice and then knowledge, but not knowledge and then practice. ”

It was to seize the loopholes in Zhu Xi's doctrine and attack on the ground, and when he heard them arguing, he frothed at the mouth, and he forgot about the wine and food in front of him, Zhao Heju was a little funny, and secretly a little proud.

Yelu Chucai and Chen Zhaohua have been in Liuqiu for a long time, and they have been infected by Liuqiu's pragmatic style, and Zhao and Ju have been deliberately instilled in Liuqiu's pamphlets, they are inclined to Chen Shiye Liang's "utilitarianism", and they strongly agree with Wang Anshi's statement that "the way of heaven is still changing, and the new is divided". With Chen Zhaohua's knowledge, he was originally not weaker than Li Shimin, Zhao Jingyun and others, and after the great changes in his life and the edification of Liuqiu, he was even more knowledgeable and his eyes were opened, and it may not be enough to deal with great Confucians like Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, but it is more than enough to deal with young Confucian scholars like Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun.

Seeing that the two sides were fighting each other, Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun were not Chen Zhaohua's opponents, but Deng Ruoshui and Xie Yue just watched with a smile. Although the two of them admired Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng's knowledge, they were not in the same vein of science, so they were not as intense as Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun, and only occasionally interjected two sentences. Later, the two sides had absolutely opposite views, and they were afraid of being hurt and angry, so they smiled and persuaded them to dissolve.

"I am very happy to hear Zhuqing talk about learning." Zhao and Ju also saw that the atmosphere was a little too warm, so they smiled and said: "However, the wine and food are cold but not good for the body. Every time I see it, I often introspect myself, and you must also take care of your body, so that you can do more practical things for the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Deng Ruoshui was slightly surprised, but he thought that in the edict of the Son of Heaven to the world, there was indeed not a word of empty talk about righteousness, and all he was concerned about was the people's livelihood, so he was silent.

Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun never thought about it so much, but they listened to the persuasion of the Son of Heaven, and they also died down at the moment.

After the banquet was over, Zhao and Ju left all the lives behind, and he asked: "Deng Pingzhong, I have already read the excerpt you wrote to the couplet, and the words are like knives." ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven mention his own rebellious text, Deng Ruoshui left the table in panic, knelt down and said: "The minister is ignorant and rebellious......

"Get up, if I really take it to heart, you won't be here at this time." Zhao Youju waved his hand a little impatiently, and an attendant pulled Deng Ruoshui up, but Deng Ruoshui was extremely stubborn, and knelt on the ground and said: "The grass people are wrong or wrong, Your Majesty will not investigate, that is the son of heaven is lenient, and the ministers blame themselves, which is the foundation of people!" ”

Zhao Youju was a little helpless, this person was a stubborn temper, but as long as he could guide it well, it would be a big help. After a slight groan, he smiled and said, "Zhuqing, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Your Majesty commands!"

"Yelu Jinqing, Chen Yaohua, Han Zhonghe's talents, you have all seen it. The ancients read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and I wanted to go and see, but I was the most important in the world, and I was not allowed to leave without permission, so I wanted to ask Zhuqing to go and inspect it for me. This matter is not official business, it is a private matter, only by Zhuqing's willingness, in order not to delay Zhuqing's studies, this way entangled......" Speaking of this, Zhao Heju looked at Yelu Chucai.

"Since it is to go to the minister's place, it will naturally be solved by the minister." Yelu Chucai said with a smile: "It's just that the sea is stormy and rough, don't be afraid of seasickness." ”

Everyone smiled slightly, and they were close to this peaceful son of heaven.

"The minister lives in the countryside, and he has long had the ambition to travel all over the world, and he is willing to go to the court for the official family!" Deng Ruoshui took the lead.

"Deng Pingzhong, for you, I have other arrangements, but I am not in a hurry to beg for it." Zhao Youju said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's wishes, the ministers will obey them!"

These three student leaders are at the age of strong flesh and blood, and they have been ordered by the Son of Heaven like this, how can there be any reason that they should not be inherited. Besides, if someone pays money, it is not degraded, but it is a rare opportunity to see the world, so they are full of promises.

"You can also find like-minded people in Taixue, dozens of people can ...... Jin Qing, no problem, right? ”

"The official family just has to rest assured, and they can still entertain dozens of people."

"Go more, see more, ask more, don't point fingers and be domineering, if I know that you and others have committed adultery, don't blame me for not being prepared." Zhao Heju confessed again: "Whenever you think about it, write it down, and you can ask someone to bring it back to Lin'an and hand it over to Deng Pingzhong." ”

The three of them all received the order, and Zhao Heju turned to Deng Ruoshui again and said with a smile: "I have a matter that must be Deng Pingzhong." ”
