Chapter 214: On Deeds and Hearts

After writing all the six wills, Yun Xi asked the eunuch to stamp and print, and then sent someone to the General Administration Department for people to distribute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Today's six wills are all for the benefit of officials, and although some of them have nothing to do with most of the officials in Beijing, they will not oppose them.

Yun Xi is not hesitant to give some money to officials, or to say some good things, anyway, the current annual tax is more than ten times the salary of officials, and it is nothing to pay more.

The reason why Yun Xi issued these six decrees was not because of the harsh treatment of Liu Chuan, but because Yun Xi had actually thought about reforming the official system and issuing these decrees for a long time, but after disposing of Liu Chuan, he felt that he also needed to be appeased, so he issued all of them recently. Otherwise, just one Liu Chuan, how could he compare to so many edicts?

These six wills were quickly known to all civil officials. Those who were still slandering Yunxi were too strict with Liu Chuan's treatment, and so many benefits were sent down in a blink of an eye, and everyone immediately stopped caring about Liu Chuan's ending.

Although several imperial historians were still on the show because of their relationship with things, they were just painless, and no one repeatedly admonished them when they were left behind. Of course, this is not only because of Yun Xi's welfare, but also because this is not something they can decide or change in the Hongwu Dynasty.

At noon on this day, after receiving the six decrees issued by Yun Xi, Pan Ren of the Ministry of Officials' Examination of Gong Lang said to Shangshu Lian Zining, who was eating: "Lian Shangshu, how could Your Majesty suddenly treat officials so favorably, is it because he dealt with Liu Chuan's imperial history too harshly, so ...... For the sake of it? ā€

Lian Zining said: "How so? The appointment and dismissal of officials such as the Provincial Officials, the Prefect, the Six Secretaries, and the Squire are all in the hands of His Majesty, and although we are officials of the Ministry of Officials, we have no right to change them. ā€

The others also said, "Yes, how could Your Majesty be like this because of that?" This shows that His Majesty still attaches great importance to us officials. ā€

Another person said: "Speaking of which, compared with the Song Dynasty, the first emperor did not pay much attention to the study of various prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and the teachings of these schools in the Song Dynasty were all in the flow of officials. ……。 ā€

Pan Ren saw that the topic was getting farther and farther away from the topic he expected, and hurriedly came back to Lian Zining and asked, "But no matter what, the punishment for Liu Yushi is too heavy." I don't know why His Majesty punished him so heavily? Do you know about Lian adults? ā€

Lian Zining said: "I was not present at the time, and I don't know the specific situation. It's just that I heard Zhuo Jing say later, probably because His Majesty said that this person was guilty of bullying the king, so he dealt with it more severely. ā€

Song Hui's eyes widened and he said: "What Liu Yushi said is indeed untrue, but it is too much to be regarded as a bully. ā€

Lian Zining glanced at the officials present and said, "Is this punishment very heavy?" This person's words were untrue, and he obviously intended to deceive His Majesty, but fortunately, His Majesty was not deceived by him. When the first emperor was there, I don't know how many people were exiled for similar things, and now Your Majesty is just dealing with it according to the example of the first emperor, you just say that it is too harsh, what is the intention! ā€

It's not because Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, the new emperor is still young, and he gave them a good face, so he is relatively contemptuous! Now that Lian Zining has pierced his mind, he was suddenly embarrassed one by one, and he went to the public house with two mouthfuls of food. Pan Ren also went back with the flow.

But when he was working in the afternoon, Pan Ren would talk about it with others from time to time, and always guide others to ponder the disadvantages of Yun Xi without anyone noticing. However, Yun Xi has just finished distributing benefits today, and the effect is not very good, but Pan Ren is not discouraged, after all, it will be a long time coming.

In the afternoon, the six Shangshu all came to find Yunxi. The actual sealing matter has been said on a large scale, but there are many details. And there are other things.

For example, Yan Zhenzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, are these three feudal monarchs repairing the palaces themselves, or are they repaired by the imperial court?" ā€

Yun Xi replied: "Since it is a feudal country, how to repair the palace, where to repair it, and when to repair it are all up to them, and the court doesn't care." ā€

Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu has been buried for a long time, and the matter of sealing the country has also been arranged. ā€

Yun Xi didn't really want most of these vassal kings to return to their fiefdoms. But this is the ancestral system left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even the people who wanted to withdraw the feudal domain when Yunxi became the emperor in history did not dare to violate the ancestral system immediately, but got rid of them one by one, so Yunxi did not dare.

So Yun Xi said: "In a few days, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and send all the vassal kings back to their fiefdoms." When the Ministry of Rites has set a date, I'll come back and let me know. Then Yun Xi remembered something again and said, "Let the prince of Zhou stay in Beijing." ā€

Then Yun Xi remembered something again, and said: "All the sons of the vassal kings, who have reached the age of seven, are taught in the capital as Emperor Taizu did. ā€

Because there is no one in the military department now, and Chen Xingshan, who is also the left waiter, is also lacking in skills, so the right waiter Jingqing is the chief officer of the military department. Jing Qing said: "Your Majesty, in the future, will the guards that will be distributed to several feudal monarchs, will the imperial court still provide the food and grass?" ā€

Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "The guards of King Ying and King Min, when everything is ready, let them be responsible for themselves; The Shazhou Wei of the King of Qin in the northwest will continue to provide it first, and then stop when I say it will stop. "Yun Xi is planning to wait until Shang Bing takes control of Hami before stopping supply.

Then Lian Zining, the secretary of the ministry, Ru Yu, the secretary of the criminal department, and Qi Tai, the secretary of the household department, also had other things to ask Yun Xi, and Yun Xi answered them one by one. Then when they were all gone, Yun Xi replied. By the time the excerpts were finished, it was already dark. Yun Xi left a few officials to have dinner and returned to the harem.

Tonight is in the palace of holding the qin according to the rules. Of course, the hugging qin in the Chengqian Palace had already been prepared, and as soon as Yun Xi came in, he pulled Zhu Wenyao to salute Yun Xi.

Yun Xi also stretched out his hand to help her up, and said, "I have said it a few times, there is no need to make a big salute." ā€

However, although Yun Xi said this, he didn't dare to learn from Xi Yao. Xiyao is a wife and has a son; She's just another concubine.

Yun Xi probably understood, so he said that he had to go over and entered the hall with Baoqin and Wen Yao.

Yun Xi asked Baoqin first: "How are your hands?" Is it better? ā€

Baoqin said: "It's just a small mouth, and Your Majesty shouldn't ask every day." Probably the day after tomorrow. ā€

Yun Xi said: "Don't try to be fast, it's better to raise it for a few more days." ā€

Baoqin asked the maid to bring some snacks to Yunxi, and said: "A few days ago, there were some new palace maids in the palace, and the concubine happened to find that a palace maid played the zither very well, so she asked for it." ā€

Then she turned to a beautiful palace maid who was about fourteen or fifteen years old and said, "Ziyan, come, play a soothing song for Your Majesty." ā€

The maid replied, "Yes, Niangniang." Then he put the zither on the special table and played it.

Yun Hee has been very fond of music since his previous life, and although he sings out of tune by himself, it does not prevent him from liking to listen to classical music. In particular, Chinese classical music can be completely relaxed by sounding, especially suitable for listening to it between intense work sessions.

At this time, after the music started, Yun Xi squinted his eyes and listened while eating the peeled melon seeds.

After a while, Yun Xi said to Baoqin: "This person plays the zither well, and he is almost as good as you play the piano." "Since the hugging qin is named after 'hugging the qin', I have also practiced the piano since childhood.

Baoqin studied Yunxi's habits thoroughly, knowing that he liked this kind of music, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Ziyan's zither can be played better than the concubine's qin." When His Majesty comes again tomorrow, the concubine will let her play for His Majesty. ā€

Yun Xi said: "It's a pity that your hand hurts, otherwise it would be good for you to play a song with her." ā€

Baoqin said: "In a few days, the concubine's hand is ready, and she will play for Your Majesty with Ziyan." ā€

After a while, Ziyan's zither song ended, and another song was played. Baoqin looked at Yun Xi's good mood and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Yao is also three years old this year, find a gentleman to enlighten him." "Thousand Character Text" will be talked about when it is older, at least "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" will be memorized. ā€

Then Baoqin immediately added: "There are also martial arts to start learning." She herself didn't think that the prince wanted to learn martial arts, but Yun Xi himself practiced martial arts, so she also said so.

Yunxi rubbed his eyes. How can the parents of this era be more murderous than the parents of later generations? A few days ago, Xiyao also said that Baoqing, Min'er, and Siqi would find their husband to enlighten them, and not let them always play like this. The oldest of these children is only three years old, okay!

Yoon-hee has her own ideas about educating children. He was against rote memorization of these things from an early age. "The Book of Three Characters" is not enough, "Hundred Family Names" is not regular, although there is also a rhyme, but it is not a complete story, and it is a headache to remember.

Yunxi thinks that it is okay for children to learn at this time, but they can't memorize by rote. Of course, if their family is an ordinary person, they will point to the smart child who is admitted to the imperial examination to change their fate, then they can only memorize it, but their family doesn't need to do this now.

Yun Xi believes that we should find the kind of person who is the most patient and good at telling stories, and tell the meaning of each sentence of the "Three Character Classic" word by word, and tell it vividly and lively, so that children like to listen to it. In the end, let the child fall in love with learning, not for the praise of the father.

So Yun Xi said: "Martial arts have to start laying the foundation. Tomorrow, I will find a few guards, and I don't have to be too good at martial arts, to teach Wen Yao to practice. In the future, Wen Yao will be closed to the country, and his health must not be bad. ā€

After a pause, Yun Xi said again: "As for the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" or something, why do you have to memorize it? Why don't you want to take the imperial examination, why do you carry this? ā€

"I have my own ideas about children's education. From tomorrow, let Wen Yao go to Qianqing Palace. I want to give it to him, and enlighten him with Baoqing, Min'er, and Siqi. ā€

Baoqin said in surprise: "Your Majesty is personally enlightened? "Can Yunxi teach it well?

Yun Xi said: "I will be enlightened first. I have special requirements for the gentleman who enlightens the child, and I may not be able to find it for a while, so I enlighten first, and wait until the gentleman who meets my request is found, and then I will let the gentleman teach. ā€

Although Baoqin is still very skeptical of Yunxi's teaching, thinking that he may not be able to teach the child well. But let Yun Xi teach, Wen Yao can see Yun Xi every day, which is very beneficial to Wen Yao, so Huqin hurriedly agreed.

At night, he held the qin and served Yun Xi. If you want to say that these concubines, the most amiable thing in bed is Huqin Huqin, sometimes Yunxi thinks: "It would be great if the advantages of Xiyao and Huqin were combined." ā€

====================================================

In the evening, it was still the family courtyard that Liu Chuan visited yesterday, and the two people who discussed it later yesterday got together again.

The man who went in later yesterday said, "Today I heard from Lian Zining that His Majesty dealt with Liu Chuan harshly. ā€

Another said, "Oh, why?" ā€

The person who spoke first said: "Your Majesty thinks that what Liu Chuan said is untrue and is suspected of bullying the king, so he is severely punished." ā€

Looking through the not bright moonlight, this person is Pan Ren in the Ministry of Officials.

The man with a deep voice said, "I see. Your Majesty is really heartbroken. ā€

Pan Ren said hatefully: "Since ancient times, even saints have said, 'Deeds are not heartfelt', Your Majesty did this, it was not done by the saint, it is really a villain. ā€

The man with a deep voice said, "Didn't we already know that Your Majesty was such a person? ā€

Pan Ren said: "Then what should we do now?" ā€

The man with a deep voice said: "Strange to say, Your Majesty is not very good at what he does, but he can always find a solution. Although he may not be able to solve the problem according to the solution he has found, his solution is always feasible. ā€

"It's as if Your Majesty had seen something similar before. Perhaps when His Majesty was the emperor's grandson, he often went to the people and noticed many things. ā€

"So let's do things, just find those things that Your Majesty must not have seen."

"As for the rest, let's figure it out."

=====================================================

In Haiyan County, Ningbo Prefecture, Yijiang Province, in a small village near the sea outside the city, several middle-aged people with strong bodies gathered to talk.

One of them said, "Lu Lao Er, is your news accurate?" Is Shanghu County really going to open the sea? ā€

The person who was called Lu Lao Er said: "Why is it not allowed? Didn't you hear it yourself? If it wasn't to open the sea, then why fight pirates in the first few months? In the past two years, there have not been too many 'pirates' harassing the people on the beach. ā€

Another person said: "Duan Laosan, the news is accurate, and after the pirates have cleared a batch, they will really open the sea soon." It is said that the county orders of Shanghu County have given the emperor Lao'er an excerpt. ā€

Duan Laosan said: "Since Boss Xiao has said so, then I will believe it." Tomorrow, I will go to Shanghu County with a few people to find out the situation. ā€
