Chapter 40: The Bar Spirit
Yang Zai walked out of the back of the hall proudly holding two pamphlets, with a smug look on his face that could not be concealed.
A few months earlier, the emperor had said he would let him learn Burmese and arithmetic. Comrade Yang Zai was also killed from the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination with an acceptance rate of less than 1%, what is this "carving insect skill" to Yang Zai, who has his own humanoid dictionary? Yang Zai paid for an interpreter to speak to each other in two languages with him in the house every day, and the common language of this era was only a few thousand words, and Yang Zai quickly mastered it.
As for arithmetic, it was even simpler, and with that set of ghost-drawn symbols, Yang Zai even felt that his brain circuits had been changed.
Just now, the emperor took out two elementary school level application questions and a few simple Burmese conversations, and Yang Zai wrote the correct answers without any mistakes---- even the tadpole-like Burmese characters were written without deviation!
Looking at the emperor's approving eyes, Yang Zai knew that his official fortune had been half stable.
Hum! You sour literati! If you don't stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, you can be an official like not being an official! The Yongli Dynasty started from the war, and the King of Jin was a diehard loyalist of the emperor, do you want to learn from the Donglin Party to buy Zuo Liangyu? Eat the ancient, stubborn rotten Confucian!
Today is the day of the court meeting, and all the civil and military officials who followed the emperor came to this hall that was obviously not in the Chinese architectural style. Although it is not as wide as the palaces in Beijing and Nanjing, it is not worse than the palaces in Yunnan. Thinking of the broken courtyard of Zhongxing City before, many people suddenly had a feeling that the Ming Dynasty was in a desperate situation.
Yang was greeting his colleagues with a smile, the imperial history that was supposed to maintain the order of the court meeting had already been lost when the Yunnan capital retreated, and Zhu Youlang did not appoint the imperial history. Therefore, the atmosphere in the court was very warm.
The court officials were not eligible to participate, so the civil officials quickly found a common denominator, that is, spraying those officials who were directly appointed by the emperor "not in accordance with the ancestral system".
"Such treacherous officials control the countryside, so that our orders cannot come out of Zhongxing!" A household head complained.
"What's more! His Majesty set up officials in the countryside, and even sent thieves to serve as county commanders in Zhongxing City! ”
"Be careful! The court will have both civil and military affairs, aren't you afraid that the warriors will beat you? ”
In a short time, the military attachés walked across from the civilian officials in their armor. Seeing these fierce people who eat people and don't spit out bones, the remarks of the civil officials who spray martial arts have been somewhat restrained--- it takes courage to scold people in person, especially when the other side may beat you.
And most of them hung dukes, and the marquis' generals maintained the habit of military meetings, making eye contact only occasionally and not saying a word to each other.
"Such a roe deer-headed rat-eyed person, who thinks that he has learned from a saint, has no history of rectifying the wind, and the order is not as good as that of a martial artist, if Your Majesty entrusts you with a heavy responsibility, then it is really a traitor in the court!" Yang grinned on the surface, and MMP in his heart.
Outside the hall, the shadow of the sun on the sundial reached the hour of the hour. Zhu Youlang changed into civilian clothes, put on formal clothes and entered the hall.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The inner officer of the male duck's throat shouted in a long voice.
The civil official team was suddenly silent, and hurriedly returned to their positions and stood up, but they were still looked at by Zhu Youlang.
Zhu Youlang walked up to the dragon chair and sat down, and the civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed together, and the mountain shouted long live.
"Flatten. Since the beginning of my practice, the court meeting was supposed to be a place for civil and military officials to discuss national affairs, but it often became a vegetable market for shrews to scold the street; Not only did it damage the majesty of the imperial court, but it also dragged on and wasted time. Therefore, at today's court meeting, I intend to make a few statements. ”
"The ministers listen to His Majesty's instructions."
"First, on a case-by-case basis, the topic must not be drawn to moral issues; Second, it is forbidden to make personal attacks, saying that someone is a traitor, and so on; Third, it is not allowed to oppress people with the ancestral system, the ancestral system is the noble commander, and everything after the civil fort is against the ancestral system; The ancestral system is a great edict to atone for the crime, but after the death of Taizu, the edict became a banned book. I have tried to read the twenty-two history, breaking the ancestral system may not be able to protect the community, but if the ancestral system is not broken, it will not be able to protect the society! ”
Zhu Youlang's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he was now waiting for a non-long-eyed second force to pick him out and die, and then let him really beat him with a hundred canes! Tiger doesn't wield, you and I are HelloKitty?
"It's been about a month since I entered Ava, but there are people who oppose everything. Conferring knighthoods on meritorious people, you objected, saying that merchants were the last of the four peoples and could not be conferred with famous weapons; The abolition of the country and the reform of the province are also opposed, saying that it will repeat the old things of Jiaozhi, and it will hurt the virtues of the ancestors and ancestors; Even if I innovate Burmese characters for the convenience of the military and civilians, you and others will oppose it, saying that the officials of the upper country learn the language of the lower country, which is insulting to the national character... I once heard a folk saying: There is a bar on the top door bar, and the top door can be firm. ”
Zhu Youlang sprayed and suddenly began to talk about folk rumors. The face of the stairs was confused.
"When I heard this, I suddenly felt clear, and suddenly became clear: Why did my emperor Ming lose the capital and Nanjing, Nanjing and Fujing, and Fujing and Yunnan? Because you are the poles of these gates! What are you doing when you don't wait for the door to come to my court? ”
Yang Zai almost squirted, and the military attache on the opposite side also pulled his facial muscles hard, only the bars began to panic.
"yes, those things that I used to be able to rely on seem to be slowly disappearing?"
"No, Your Majesty dragged a few people out at most and dealt with us all, who will do things for Your Majesty?"
In the midst of the panic, several different thoughts began to spread, but everyone was wise not to be a fool.
The air in the court froze.
"Oh? Think that if I sell well now, I won't deal with you bartenders? Dream! Zhu Youlang shouted in his heart.
"Yang Companion, bring those folds over and read them to everyone."
Yang Qiangyi responded, holding the fold and opening the top one.
“… The ministers heard that Zhou Wu had the seal of Weizi, and Zhuge had the indulgence of Meng Shu. The emperor has enjoyed the country for 300 years, and his virtue can be described as thick. Ranchen once whispered that white paper into ink is waste paper, and it is the same if you want to be virtuous! If you rejoice in the success, I am afraid that the national funds will be wasted; If you covet territory, you may have old things. Although the king of Burma does not know the height of the sky, he has children, and he can appoint a submissive person as the new king of Burma, so that he can come to pay tribute frequently, and it can become a good story to rebuild the feudal state..."
Zhu Youlang had already seen these performances, and he was here to rectify the people today, so he was silent and didn't say a word.
But Zhu Youlang dug a pit in advance to hold back his anger, but Li Dingguo, who has always respected civilian officials, couldn't bear it for the first time: Without Burma, what will the army eat and drink? Do you pay for food?
"Your Majesty! Rong Chen dared to speak: This statement is ridiculous! Although the minister is a warrior, but also a little bit of history, Weizi Feng Song Dynasty many times before the admonition to Emperor Xin, Meng is a small chief, not a country. And a blank sheet of paper in ink is even more ridiculous! I don't know who this person is, but I want to ask, haven't you ever written? Or do you write in bamboo slips? ”
The unexpected white snatching made Zhu Youlang laugh out loud: "Hahahahahaha... Bamboo Jane, I'm afraid this person doesn't want to use the bones of the Zhu family to make Zhu Jian! ”
The military attachés just wanted to laugh along, but they didn't dare to laugh anymore when they heard the word Zhu Jian.
"The minister lost his words, and he is willing to be punished!" Li Dingguo was frightened.
"King Jin has no words." Zhu Youlang waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
