Zhu Cijiong saw that Huang Daozhou still knelt there motionless with his head bowed after receiving the holy decree, and couldn't help but smile slyly at him, then slowly walked back, sat down, and pretended to be serious: "Huang Aiqing, get up." ”

Huang Daozhou listened to his tone and thought that the emperor was going to have a showdown, so he made a look of being ready to be heroic and righteous, and slowly stood up.

Zhu Cijiong couldn't hold back a smile when he saw him like this, and pretended to ask solemnly: "Huang Aiqing, do you know about the imperial examination?" ”

Huang Daozhou fainted when he heard the wrong words, why did he go to the imperial examination again, he is a first-class jinshi and first, can he not know the imperial examination! He could only express his deep helplessness about the emperor's nonsense behavior everywhere, and the emperor had to reply to his question, so he had to reply bluntly: "If you go back to the emperor, you know a little about the imperial examination." ”

Zhu Cijiong didn't care whether he was being modest or not, and then asked, "Then if you are asked to organize and prepare for a imperial examination, can you do it?" ”

Definitely, the farther and farther he went, he had to say perfunctorily: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen can barely do it." ”

Zhu Cijiong changed the subject again and asked, "Then do you know North Korea?" ”

Yes, it's all thousands of miles away, Huang Daozhou is helpless, and replied mechanically: "Weichen knows a little bit about it." ”

Zhu Cijiong continued to ask: "Then if you are asked to organize a imperial examination in North Korea, can you do it?" ”

Huang Daozhou just wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, what is this, he smiled bitterly: "Please forgive Weichen for this." ”

Zhu Cijiong asked very seriously: "Why can't you do it?" ”

Do you need to ask! Huang Daozhou replied helplessly: "Now that North Korea is no longer a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that Weichen will not listen to me at all." ”

Zhu Cijiong stared at him and said slowly: "Then what if I send 200,000 troops to accompany you?" ”

Huang Daozhou felt that something was wrong, he thought about it, and replied cautiously: "That should be barely done." ”

Zhu Cijiong stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I am very dissatisfied with the current North Korea, the grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, even if they call the Ming Dynasty a tribute, it is just to let the Ming Dynasty protect him when necessary, they themselves do not regard themselves as the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, what is the difference between this and the barbarians outside the country, so I want you to educate them well, so that they understand what the duty of being a courtier is." ”

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he was dumbfounded, and the emperor was not talking nonsense with him at all, but really wanted him to educate the barbarians!

Zhu Cijiong didn't care about him for the time being, but turned his head to Cao Huachun and said: "Proposed decree, order Zhenguo Gongsun Chengzong to lead the Liaodong Army to guard the Guanningjin line, and the Dingliao Army to stay on the Tieling Liaohai line, and the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army immediately go to the Dingliao Right Guard to assemble and form a war army, Cao Wenzhao is the commander-in-chief, and Mao Wenlong is the deputy commander." As soon as the Ming missionary mission arrived, he waved his army into the court to assist the missionary mission in preaching and indoctrination, but those who resisted were killed. ”

After Cao Huachun finished writing, Zhu Cijiong checked it and felt that there was no problem, so he turned back to Huang Daozhou and said: "Huang Aiqing, I sent a first-class army and a second-class army to accompany you into the DPRK, do you have confidence in indoctrining the barbarians in Korea?" ”

Huang Daozhou only felt a surge of blood, and subconsciously replied: "Yes." ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and said to Cao Huachun: "Draw up another purpose." ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly took out another blank volume of holy decrees and waited for the pen to be written.

Zhu Cijiong took a breath and said majestically: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict that all the vassals of the Ming Dynasty should learn the study of sages, and from now on, the princes of the vassal kings will not inherit the position of the vassal kings if they do not learn the scholars of the sages, and the people of the vassal shall not serve as the officials of the vassal without the meritorious service of the imperial examination." Chin this. ”

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he couldn't help kneeling on the ground and said excitedly: "The emperor is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Cijiong picked up the written decree and handed it to Huang Daozhou, and then said solemnly: "The heavy responsibility of educating the barbarians will be handed over to you, and Korea is only the first, and in the future, Annam, Sulu, Siam, and even Dongying, Tatar, Washou, etc., will all learn the same thing, all of them must learn the learning of the sages." ”

Huang Daozhou excitedly took the holy decree and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen will do his best to educate the barbarians and spread the learning of the sages all over the world." ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded, raised his hand and said: "Well, get up, go and tell the king of Korea that I will give them one year, and after a year, the whole of Korea will open Enke, and all officials who cannot get a reputation will be dismissed, and the time of the imperial examination in the future will depend on the Ming Dynasty." In addition, let him send the prince to the capital, I arranged for someone to teach him well, and Enke will send him back when he is finished. ”

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he quickly got up from the ground, this is the army and the proton coercion, it seems that North Korea will not be able to give in, this first indoctrination is in sight, he is so excited that he doesn't know what to say, only knows how to praise vigorously: "The emperor is wise." ”

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, there is nothing else, if you have nothing to do, go back and prepare, draw up a list of mission missions, I will give you approval, as long as the mission mission is good, you can take them to set off." ”

Huang Daozhou was about to retire, but suddenly remembered, no, he came to dissuade the emperor from promoting Western learning, and he didn't say anything at this time, how could he just leave!

He hesitated for a while, and finally expressed the purpose of this visit: "Your Majesty, this, this, promoting Western learning is insulting to the sages, and it is even more absurd to let children who study Western learning become officials. ”

Zhu Cijiong looked at the appearance of this goods, and knew that this goods had been a little shaken, and he explained unhurriedly: "How can the promotion of Western learning insult the learning of sages, I promote Western learning is not for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, with a strong army, you can make the four Yi surrender, isn't it more conducive to spreading the learning of the sages?" Also, the children who have learned Western studies will be a nine-grade sesame official at most, which is also for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, why is it ridiculous? Don't listen to those people with ulterior motives to provoke, they don't want to be subdued by the Quartet, and their hearts can be punished! ”

Huang Daozhou has put his mind on spreading the learning of sages all over the world, from this point of view, the promotion of Western learning is really conducive to the spread of the learning of sages, and unconsciously his position has begun to change, and even whether he wants to oppose the promotion of Western studies is a little ambiguous.

He was persuaded away by Zhu Cijiong in a daze, and he didn't slowly wake up until he walked out of the Forbidden City, he touched the two volumes of holy decrees he was carrying, and his position finally changed completely.

His position has changed, but there are still many old stubborns who are stubborn, no, he just walked out of the Zuoye Gate and a group of old stubborns rushed up, and asked gossipily: "How is it, how is it, what did the emperor say, has he taken back his life?" ”

If he wanted to change to before, he would definitely complain impassionedly, but now, how did he hear and feel that these people had ulterior motives, he said a little impatiently: "What to take back the order, the emperor asked me to educate the barbarians and spread the learning of the sages, if you want to be idle and have nothing to do, go back to your respective yamen to write a performance, come with me." I'm still busy, so I'm sorry to accompany you. ”

With that, he arched his hand, walked around the crowd, and walked away, leaving only a bunch of old stubborn people standing there dumbfounded, the leading figures all left inexplicably, and finally the gang naturally dispersed in a hurry.

Huang Daozhou is really busy, he is busy inviting those famous scholars and Confucians, most of these people are more interested in learning than being officials, so there are few people in important positions, they are naturally more interested in promoting the learning of sages, and the ultimate purpose of learning is not to promote the learning of sages and leave a name in history, so Huang Daozhou soon organized a large missionary mission.

Zhu Cijiong was not idle here, and took advantage of the past few days to order someone to rush to print dozens of boxes of four books and five classics, so that he could use them as teaching materials.

Zhu Cijiong in order to let them experience the benefits of Western learning, specially arranged for them to take the train to Dongdaying, and then asked the Beiyang Navy Division to gather all the warships to send them to Dingliao Right Guard to join Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong, this time Huang Daozhou was also shocked by the strength of the Ming Dynasty, since then, he has become a staunch supporter of Western learning, there is a saying, 'The combination of China and the West is the most important', joke, joke, continue the topic.

In fact, this Li North Korea is still more respectful of the Ming Dynasty, but the forest is bigger, what kind of birds have come out, and some people are in favor of returning to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and some people are against it, and the two sides have not pulled out a result, and the result is that the 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty have been pulled over.

The so-called scholar misguided the country was the most appropriate for the Ming Dynasty, but now it is the most appropriate for the North Korea, and the king of the Joseon Dynasty at this time, Li Liang, can be said to regret it.

Even if the 200,000 Ming army does not have new muskets and artillery to deal with a small North Korea, it will not take much trouble, and now with the new muskets and artillery, it is naturally invincible, and it will attack the capital of the Korean king in less than half a month, and the princess, the prince and the minister's wife, have to send the princess, the prince and the minister's wife to Ganghwa Island for refuge, and he will lead the civil and military officials to retreat to the mountain city of Nanhan to wait for the arrival of the Qin Wang army from all walks of life, and at the same time send envoys to the Ming military camp to negotiate and delay time.

This little trick is simply not worth it in the eyes of Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong, and the reinforcements from all walks of life were beaten by them, and Mao Wenlong also ran to Ganghwa Island with ease, and captured the Korean princess, prince and other clans in one fell swoop.

Several times to persuade Li Liang to go out of the city to surrender failed, Cao Wenzhao was also rough, directly set up two hundred howitzers on the city wall is a fierce bombardment, Ayayang Jun Li Liang saw that the big thing was not good, so he had to surrender the city.

At this time, it was the turn of the missionary envoy Huang Daozhou to appear, and he took out the holy decree and shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, and Ayayang Jun Li Liang will accept the decree." ”

Hearing this, Ayayang Jun Li Liang fell to the ground with a snap, and other Korean officials had to lie down, and Huang Dao Zhou Lang read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, all the vassals of the Ming Dynasty should learn the study of sages, from now on, the princes of the vassal kings will not inherit the position of the vassal king if they do not learn the scholars of the sages, and the people of the vassal shall not serve as the officials of the vassal without the meritorious service of the imperial examination." Chin this. ”

At this time, Ayayang Jun Li Liang was already so frightened that he was lying there trembling, but among the ministers, there were those who were not afraid of death and began to scold, Cao Wenzhao remembered their loyalty and bravery, gave them a good time, and directly dragged them out and cut them all!

After cutting more than a dozen, the civil and military ministers of North Korea were finally honest, and if they did not accept it, they would die, and Li Liang, the king of Ayayang, finally had to choose to give in, and handed over his son Li Wei to study in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time ordered all the ministers to study the Four Books and Five Classics with the mission mission.

To say that there are still some North Korean officials who know Chinese and Confucianism, but most of them don't know much, it is simply impossible to be admitted to the meritorious fame of Xiucai within a year, Huang Daozhou is also ruthless, directly sent an army to inform the whole territory of North Korea, anyone who knows Chinese can come to Wang Jing to study, and anyone who has obtained fame in the examination can be awarded an official!

There are a few people in the world who don't want to be officials, and now the whole of North Korea has set off a wave of Chinese language fever, and the luckiest ones are the descendants of those Han people, who have been in Chinese since elementary school, and even some people have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is called a rapid progress when they learn, it is estimated that when the results of the imperial examination come out, more than half of them will be Han people of Korean origin.
