Chapter 650: A Boatload of Late Autumn (Part I)
Looking at Zhao Yunshu's somewhat stunned expression, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but chuckle; "Don't you think they don't have the guts?"
Zhao Yunshu shivered, although it was in the hot water of the bath bucket, but she felt a chill to the bone, and subconsciously looked at Ye Yingwu, obviously she already understood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ info Ye Yingwu didn't say much, just sighed softly.
Throughout the ages, the Chinese dynasty has changed from generation to generation, but in fact, a careful study will find that no matter how the dynasty changes, those scholars and families standing behind the dynasty have not changed, a generation of monarchs with the help of their power to open the world, and the founding monarch of the next dynasty is also with the help of their power to change the dynasty, it can be said that these families are out-and-out speculators, the establishment of a dynasty is inseparable from their support, and then they will take this opportunity to become the power of the new dynasty, As a result, the whole family continued to prosper.
The most famous family in Chinese history is naturally the Wenxi Pei family, the status of the Wenxi Pei family in the court has not been shaken at all for thousands of years, and officials surnamed Pei can be found in all dynasties, and most of these officials are from the Wenxi Pei family. Of course, there are some families, such as the Yingchuan Xun family, the Jiangnan Lu family, etc., all of which were powerful families in the period of the Two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, but later declined for various reasons.
Later, the Tang and Song dynasties used the imperial examination to select talents, giving the poor scholars ample opportunities, but this does not mean that the noble family has completely disappeared from Chinese history. The Tang Dynasty was established with the support of the Guanlong Group, which itself is a huge family alliance, and naturally cannot allow the imperial examination system to completely pull out the foundation of the family's life, which is why there will be a variety of ways to enter the office, which is the imperial court in rewarding meritorious people, and it is also a concession to the imperial court for the wealthy families.
In the Song Dynasty, with the continuous party struggle in the imperial court, many families were implicated and attacked, but it does not mean that the family has completely disappeared, and even the children from the family still play an important role in the court, such as Wang Lixin was born in the first wealthy family in Huizhou, and for example, the Tiantai Jia family born in Jia Nidao (author's note: Tiantai Jia Shi is the Western Han Dynasty after Jia Yi, Jia Shi, the father of Jia Yidao, is an anti-gold hero), these are all wealthy families for a while, with many talents and heroes, plus some new rising families, For example, the Duchang Jiang clan headed by the three ancient Jiangs.
In the rolling forward of the tide of history, there are families that decline, and there are families that rise, but what remains unchanged is that these families maintain their influence on the imperial court, and it can even be said that they control it, and the imperial court with their support can call the shots unimpeded, and once they stand up against it, then the imperial court is likely to fall apart. The Sui Dynasty is a good example, with the rebellion of the Guanlong Group, the Shandong Group and other family alliances, the entire Sui Dynasty quickly disappeared into history.
Now under Ye Yingwu's oppression, most of the families have chosen to avoid and wait and see, but it does not mean that they have completely compromised, and it is even possible that they are still thinking about whether to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and create a new era, and Ye Yingwu has never intended to really ignore the power that these families can control.
Most of these are families left over from the former Song Dynasty, in this era of economic take-off, how much wealth is in their hands, I am afraid that even Xie Fang, the head of the household department, can't say it clearly, and Ye Yingwu knows that this amount is definitely not small.
In history, with the Mongol conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the families adopted the method of "non-cooperation and non-resistance", closed their own doors, lived on their savings over the years, and even tried their best to reduce communication with the outside world, forming a deformed social form unique to that era, of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the Mongols did not have the courage to attack these families in the end. There are some costs to pay, such as the literary prison that caused social panic, and the fact that the Qing Dynasty did not catch up with the Ming Dynasty, let alone the economic and technological level of the Song Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the persistence of these families under the iron heel of the Mongols that the Chinese civilization has been preserved and continued, and the books and annals lost in the war at the end of the Song Dynasty are far less than the Jingkang Rebellion and the earlier Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty.
But now it is not the Mongols who stand on the opposite side of these families, but Ye Yingwu.
This is an opponent that even the Mongols and Kublai Khan have a headache for, not to mention Ye Yingwu, so if Ye Yingwu wants to completely eradicate it, he must be fully prepared. If all the reliance is pressed on the Praetorian Guard and the six doors, it will not be Ye Yingwu.
Ye Yingwu was an adventurous man, but the biggest reason for his every adventure was that he had enough confidence in his subordinates, because he believed that these soldiers would not betray him and join the Mongols. But now these families are out-and-out Chinese, and in this case, Ye Yingwu doesn't have so much confidence.
In an instant, Ye Yingwu even understood a little why in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei was set up, and the east factory was set up, and then the west factory, the inner factory and the self-contained system of "night no harvest" in the army sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. It's not because of how stupid the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, but because he couldn't control his own life, and the people below didn't know if he could use this feeling, which was really uncomfortable, so he could only continue to promote his cronies to set up a new supervisory body, and finally led to the entire court being too bloated and constrained in everything, and how many people could understand the helplessness in this?
Zhao Yunshu leaned on Ye Yingwu's arms, and Ye Yingwu couldn't help laughing at himself: "Does Shu'er feel that some caution is too much, and he doesn't even believe in the Praetorian Guards and the Six Gates?" โ
"The husband is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the lord of the world, and there are many people who covet the position of the husband or the position of Wen Xianggong and others, so it is reasonable for the husband to be careful, and it should even be necessary," Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu and said solemnly, "The concubine did not see through the husband's intentions, and it should be regarded as a concubine with shallow knowledge." โ
Ye Yingwu chuckled, stretched out his hand and gently scratched her Yao nose: "If you don't trust anyone, you will still believe you." โ
Zhao Yunshu just wanted to speak, but felt that Ye Yingwu's hand had fallen back on the button of Hezi, and glared at him fiercely, but he didn't stop him, just said faintly: "Husband, there is still a question about the concubine, and I have always wanted my husband to answer it." โ
"You mean Wei'er?" Ye Yingwu frowned, he knew Zhao Yunshu's character very well, coupled with her identity, so this girl was the least likely to cause trouble for Ye Yingwu in the back house, and it would not involve the intricate interests and kinship in the back - for example, Lu Wanyan would think about the Lu family to some extent, and Hui Niang would think about the Wang family to some extent.
Therefore, Ye Yingwu usually likes to take out his doubts and analyze them with this girl, not only because Zhao Yunshu is smart and can understand many places at a glance, and even as an outsider, he can see much more clearly than Ye Yingwu - just talking about being smart, Wanniang, Qiqin and Huiniang in the back house are not bad, but because Zhao Yunshu has nothing to worry about behind him, and he grew up in the court, he is familiar with these struggles and sees them more clearly than the rest.
But people exist in the world, no matter what, there will be some people who can't let go, and Zhao Yunshu can't let go of her sister naturally, this is her only blood relative in this world. And what really touched Zhao Yunshu's mind was naturally the delicate relationship between Zhao Yunwei and Ye Yingwu, the "big brother".
Ye Yingwu is definitely not the kind of person who is greedy and lustful to the point that he will not let go of a little girl like Wei'er, Ye Yingwu has his own principles and bottom line, when he was in Lin'an, Zhao Yunshu saw it very clearly, and even when he entered his house later, he was already equal to his person, but Ye Yingwu never really took the initiative to ask for it, and in the end, it was Zhao Yunshu who threw himself into his arms.
This guy doesn't have any shape on weekdays, but once his principles are touched, even the saint master can't compare to this guy. The corpse mountain rushed out of the sea of blood, making Ye Yingwu's already tenacious heart more and more tough, and most of the temptations would not shake Ye Yingwu, not to mention that Zhao Yunshu asked himself, Wei'er is still an out-and-out little girl, Ye Yingwu is not as good as a beast even if he is a beast, and he usually doesn't seem to have any habits.
"Smack!" Ye Yingwu slapped Zhao Yunshu on the head: "What do you think!" โ
Zhao Yunshu looked at him aggrievedly; "You have to tell me what you think about this sister, this girl is over ten years old, and she will have to marry in three or five years. And now this girl can leave you? Do you really plan to ยทยทยทยทยทยท later? Even if that's the case, the concubine can't say anything, but the husband has to give the concubine an answer. โ
Wait for Wei'er to grow up and then eat it in one bite? Ye Yingwu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wouldn't that be a Lori cultivation plan, but it seemed to be a good plan. However, he also knew that if he said this at this moment, Zhao Yunshu would definitely pounce on him and beat him up.
At that moment, Ye Yingwu leaned against the wall of the barrel, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Yunshu, and then pointed at himself, and said solemnly: "You and I are not the parents of that girl, when she grows up and is sensible, she will naturally know what choice she should make, and now you just eat radish first and worry about it." โ
Zhao Yunshu snorted lightly and didn't say anything, no matter whether Ye Yingwu's words were true or false, in fact, she had no way to decide, in fact, when Zhao Yunwei grew up, let this girl decide by herself, which is also the best choice now.
And Ye Yingwu dragged the girl over: "I didn't expect that she would become Yanashita Hui at any time, but the beauty has been talking about family and country affairs here, which is really tyrannical." โ
Feeling Ye Yingwu's originally honest hands, he suddenly moved, Zhao Yunshu giggled and dodged: "When is this, hurry up and wash let's go out, don't let General Zhang Shun, the water master of Zhenjiang Mansion, and Hui Niang wait for a long time." โ
"That's not good, we're all honest with each other, how can I not go in at the door?" Ye Yingwu said seriously, hugged Zhao Yunshu suddenly, and kissed the ruddy cherry lips.
"Knock knock!" The knock on the door suddenly remembered, and then Hui Niang's crisp voice came, "Husband, Sister Shu'er, you two should hurry up, General Zhang Shun has been waiting for a while." โ
Zhao Yunshu hurriedly pushed Ye Yingwu away, stood up and wiped his body, and at the same time dragged the clothes on the hanger and handed them to Ye Yingwu, with a blush on his pretty face: "You didn't listen to what you said just now, but now Hui Niang has come to the door, and the concubine can't say that she has to be laughed at by Hui Niang and them secretly." โ
"Wait for a certain person at night," Ye Yingwu laughed, clearly with a look that you were determined today, and you couldn't run away at all, "If it weren't for Zhang Shun's quick arrival, Hui Niang, this girl, wouldn't dare to come directly to the door even if she had a hundred guts." โ
The door opened, Ye Yingwu tied his belt and knocked heavily on Hui Niang's head with his hand, Hui Niang snorted in pain, covered her head and made a grimace at Ye Yingwu, but obviously she also knew her husband's methods, and this action was just done behind Ye Yingwu's back.
However, Ye Yingwu seemed to feel the change behind him, turned his head suddenly, smiled at Hui Niang, who had not completely withdrawn the expression on his face, and closed the door with his backhand. Hui Niang stroked her forehead with her hand, and watched Ye Yingwu's back disappear from sight with some helplessness.
Zhao Yunshu put on his coat and walked over and said with a smile: "Look at you, just wait for your husband to clean up tonight." โ
"Sister Shu'er, you're gloating!" Hui Niang said hatefully, "If it weren't for the fact that you stayed in the house for too long, I wouldn't have come over." โ
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard," Zhao Yunshu frowned slightly, pretended to be angry, and reached out and nodded on Hui Niang's forehead, "You girl, if you don't go to your husband to comment, why do you rely on me?" I can't just throw dirty water on you just because I don't clean you up. โ
Hui Niang snorted, and then lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Sister, with the temperament of the husband, as long as you haven't had fun, you will definitely not stop, how can you say it and come out?" It really scared me. โ
Zhao Yunshu glared at her, flicked her sleeves and left, and Hui Niang hurriedly grabbed her: "Okay, okay, my sister Shu'er, let's not talk about this, don't talk about this, my husband discussed with Wen Xianggong about compiling a book summary before, do you know?" โ
Zhao Yunshu nodded, and subconsciously looked out of the half-hidden door, with a worried look on his face. Now the burden on Ye Yingwu's shoulders is too heavy, the war in the South Seas, the war in the grassland, plus dealing with the family, tomorrow's great court meeting, and the palace test that will be held recently, all need Ye Yingwu to preside over and worry, and now there is such a thing, thanks to his husband, he can still grit his teeth and support it.
"Then Sister Shu'er, you say, can we help my husband?" Hui Niang Zhengse said, "You must know that now the husband wants to compile such a large book, it is not so easy, the Ming officials are in the green and yellow, and even if the Hanlin Academy and the Academy have enough spare power, it is indispensable to recruit a large number of readers, and search for books in the people, these are all things that need people to do, we are idle, even if we help classify and sort out some books, it is also a favor to help the husband." Most of these sisters in the harem can read and write, and they are all human beings. โ
Zhao Yunshu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Hui Niang to have such a suggestion, she knew that Ye Yingwu had never excluded women from participating in the handling of government affairs, and the "harem must not interfere in politics" that he had always used as a mantra to ridicule was actually a joke in Ye Yingwu's opinion, including court affairs, Ye Yingwu did not want to hide the women in the harem who had gone through difficult years side by side with him.
Even the six doors, when there is a shortage of manpower, Ye Yingwu will hand them over to Yang Xu and Qiong Luan to take care of.
What's more, there are a lot of women in the harem, and they are idle, and even sometimes they are easy to get sick when they are pampered. And once these harem concubines have nothing to do, they naturally begin to think about how to compete for favor, which is what Ye Yingwu doesn't want to see.
"My husband will definitely agree." Zhao Yunshu said with a smile, "I'll mention it to my husband later, in fact, it's not just us, but also the family members of the generals and ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China can come to help. โ
