Chapter 659: The pressure is great
Zuo Chuan brought a letter to Ye Xun, the letter was written by Hou Jiuwei, in which he first praised Ye Xun, and then said that the Japanese people yearn for the Ming Dynasty very much, and hope to learn from the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the letter also implicitly mentioned that Yun Niang also hoped that her children would come to Daming to receive systematic sinology education.
When the Tang Dynasty was strong, Japan sent countless envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and after learning the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty, it became their culture when they fell off their butts, and the Japanese knives used in the later Wokou Rebellion were also developed on the basis of the Tang Knives, so we must always be vigilant against the little devils.
But then again, my son is five years old, and it's time for him to come back and learn something from his ancestors.
Looking at Zuo Chuan's eager eyes, Ye Xun suddenly smiled and said: "No problem, since the Later Nine-Tails Emperor admires the Central Plains culture so much, and sends people to study, this prince has agreed."
Zuo Chuan was overjoyed, and was about to say thank you, but saw Ye Xun wave his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, send someone to study at the Imperial University, and you have to agree to the two conditions of my father, otherwise don't mention it."
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Zuo Chuan's heart couldn't help sinking, who didn't know that Ye Dagong was a famous goose plucker, and it was almost impossible to find a bargain on him.
Subconsciously asked: "What is the matter with my father-in-law, just command"
"First, students who come to study must not be more than twelve years old, and second, the Japanese imperial court must agree to open no less than twenty Confucian schools in Japan."
"You should know in the capital all the year round that the Imperial University is not open to the public, and you must be a real Ming student to enter, and my father has made an exception for you in Japan, I hope you don't let me down."
As soon as he heard Ye Xun's words, Zuo Chuan's face showed embarrassment, what do teenage children understand? Learn to learn, and in the end, you must not learn to become a Ming person!
And in addition to Yun Niang's children, the Later Nine-Tails Emperor has selected a group of young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, and he still thinks that after these people complete their studies, they can serve Great Japan, and now Ye Xun proposes this age limit, how can he explain to the emperor?
After hesitating for a while, he said: "The latter thing is easy to do, not to mention twenty, even thirty saint schools are no problem, but the first one... Can my father-in-law relax the age a little more? ”
Ye Xun didn't think about it, so he shook his head and said: "What my father said, I will never take it back, if you want to learn advanced knowledge, you must show sincerity, don't always think about picking up ready-made"
"Well, then! When the minister reports to the emperor of my family, I will reply to my father-in-law."
Zuo Chuan said, got up and saluted and retired.
Looking at Zuo Chuan's back, a sneer flashed at the corner of Ye Xun's mouth, who treats people and what, a rogue country like a little devil has to be more scoundrel than them.
In the past six years, Ye Xun has not sent a letter to Yun Niang, nor has he given his son any concern, but these are superficial phenomena.
Ye Xun really didn't do anything to Yun Niang, but all kinds of arrangements were made around his son, whether it was guards or attendants, there were people from Xichang, and any disturbances around his son couldn't hide Ye Xun's father.
Yun Niang gave her son a very interesting name, called Nian Ye Taro, people who know a little bit of the inside story understand the meaning of this name, only Ye Xun doesn't seem to feel it, after knowing the name, he is still as indifferent as ever.
Ye Xun believed that Hou Jiuwei would agree to his request, after all, Japan is too backward now, and the Edo side has been fighting for several years under Ye Xun's impetus in order to compete for the position of the general of Zhengyi, and it has never stopped, nor has it been decided to win or lose.
The forces of all sides could not tell the winner, but the life of the common people was getting more and more miserable, and some time ago there was even a wave of flights, if it were not for the shogunate's army to stop it, I am afraid that many people would have fled to the Central Plains.
Therefore, Japan must follow the example of the Central Plains and do something new to change, and another advantage of this is that it can paralyze Ye Xun's vigilance against Japan.
No matter how good the idea is, it can't be realized, and it can only become a pipe dream in the end.
sent Zuochuan away, because it was still early, and no one came.
After Ye Xun dealt with some official duties, his mood suddenly became anxious for no reason, he has never been a superstitious person, but a thought somehow popped up in his mind, isn't there something bad going to happen?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, has it been too comfortable in the past few years, thinking that I should find something to do?
At noon, Zhang Xumin took the lead in visiting the New Year, he is now Ye Xun's quasi-son-in-law, and it is understandable that he was the first to come to offer his courtesy.
The Zhang family is also a general, but Zhang Xumin doesn't seem to be interested in the army, and after going around the barracks, he directly proposed to Ye Xun that he just wanted to concentrate on learning and didn't want to join the army.
Ye Xun didn't force him, now Zhang Xumin is studying in the Imperial University, limited to the ancestral training of the Ming Dynasty relatives who can't go to the local government to be officials, he can only do some scientific research.
Zhang Xumin is eighteen this year, and he has become a relative of other countries, and he has a group of wives and concubines at this age, and in order to wait for this, he has not accepted a concubine room so far, so Mrs. Liu has not gone to the palace to complain to Baozhu.
It's just that Baozhu can't say anything about this, but Baozhu, like Ye Xun, values this uncle very much, he looks good, loves to learn, has strong self-control, and will definitely be a good helper for his son in the future.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Xumin did not sit down as ordered, but stood respectfully aside.
Ye Xun smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'll go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother in a while!" If so, they are all in the palace! ”
"The son-in-law is not in a hurry, you are alone at home, if there is a guest, the son-in-law can also help you entertain it"
Ye Xun nodded, from this kid's carefulness, he can't be wrong in the future.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has another request, I hope my father-in-law will grant it"
"Huh! You are not a child anymore, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't violate the laws of the court."
"The son-in-law understands that he will never cause trouble to his father-in-law, yes, the son-in-law has a year and is the little son of the governor of Liaodong, Lord Sun, he invited the son-in-law to go to Liaodong to feel the environment there, and by the way to see the great achievements of the father-in-law."
"Hmmm! It's a good idea, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, it's good, when are you going to go, does your mother agree? ”
"My mother also supported my son-in-law's action, and said that she wanted me to go to see the six forts of Kuandian, saying that the Jurchen took advantage of Chinese New Year's Eve to sneak attack Kuandian, and it was my father-in-law who led the troops to take it back, and also beheaded the Jurchen Great Belle Amin"
"If the son-in-law wants to go to Liaodong, not only Kuandian, but also Tieling must go, because my father-in-law made his career there..."
When Zhang Xumin said the words Kuandian and Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Xun's heart couldn't help but move slightly.
Combining these two words, thinking of Jiang Taiji not reporting for a month, a bad feeling suddenly came to Ye Xun's heart...
