729 Where Are the Two Legs Of The Big Rooster?
@@@
After Yang Yi returned to the city, he really immediately went to the court, impeaching some officials of the imperial court for forcibly expropriating land, which almost caused a large-scale bloody conflict.
Zhang Dian saw his recital, and couldn't help crying and laughing, Yang Yi looked like he was asking for his life for the people, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a thief shouting to catch a thief!
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yi understood what Yang Yi meant, Yang Yi was blaming him, the prime minister, for not being thoughtful and making improper arrangements, which caused such a big turmoil, so he deliberately added fuel to the fire and was angry that he came.
Now the case is making trouble in Kaifeng Mansion, and after Yin Hu Zongyue of Kaifeng Mansion received the case, he became angry in an instant, and he didn't know what he was angry about, anyway, it was difficult to get up in bed now.
The trial of the case fell on the head of Yin Sushi, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion.
When those powerful domestic slaves returned to the city under Yang Yi's advice to complain, some people were only slightly injured, but on the way back to the city, many people's injuries suddenly became serious, and after the case was handed to Kaifeng Mansion, two people died of their injuries the next day.
These powerful domestic slaves were beaten by the officials and soldiers and seriously injured to death.
This matter involves hundreds of powerful families, and now that there are more lives, it will become a shocking case.
Su Dongpo was overwhelmed, above the court, the public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the two sides insisted on the word.
The official in charge of measuring the land claimed that he had not ordered the beating, but that he had been beaten.
Yes, some officials were indeed beaten at that time, but those domestic slaves were very particular about their hands, and most of the positions of the beatings were in the stomach, which made you die of pain, but did not leave any scars. Now in the court, you say that you have been beaten. But no evidence could be found.
And the injuries of those house slaves were real and bloody. And two people really died, and this comparison was extremely unfavorable to the officials in charge of measuring the land.
Fortunately, they kept the ruler for measuring the land, and when the court compared it, they could be sure that their ruler was fine.
But this does not mean that they will be able to win the lawsuit, after those powerful domestic slaves came to the lobby, their tone changed, they did not say that it was because of the number of acres of discrepancy caused the conflict, but directly insisted that the officials who measured the land asked them for bribes.
For example, Su Dongpo asked Kang Qishi of the Anlu County Palace. Kang Qi said with tears in his eyes in the lobby: "Master Su, you want to be the master for us, I have four thousand and twenty-one acres of land in the palace of Anlu County, and after measuring it yesterday, those corrupt officials said to the villain, if you honor them for five hundred yuan, the number of acres in my house will become four thousand seven hundred and twenty-one acres, and if you don't honor their silver, they will have to re-measure it." He also threatened that it would be difficult to say how many acres he would re-measure, and that the villain refused to do such a thing that violated the law of the country, so he reasoned with them, and as a result, they actually recruited the forbidden army to beat the villain. They are simply lawless! ”
Hundreds of families in the Anlu County Royal Mansion also insist on this statement, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Su Dongpo was at a loss when he encountered such a difficult case.
He thinks about it in addition to the two parties. The only third-party witness in this matter is Yang Yi.
Of course, Yang Yi was probably not the only one who saw what happened at that time. But who would dare to wade into these troubled waters? At present, Su Dongpo has no other way than to find Yang Yi to testify.
He sent someone to the Expansion and Promotion Department of the Ministry of Rites to ask for it. Shen Qing said that Yang Yi went to the academy to deal with daily college affairs.
The officials of Kaifeng Mansion hurriedly ran to the Academy, but the people from the Academy said that Yang Yi had gone to the Privy Council.
Well, let's count our fate, Mrs. Yang is also sent by a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, so it is not strange to go to the Privy Council.
Who let this master be the only witness, then let's go to the Privy Council again, but when we arrived at the Privy Council, we were told that Yang Yi had indeed come to the Privy Council, but he had already left and went to the Erying Hall to give a lecture to the emperor.
What is the Eternal Palace? Whoever wants to enter?
It's okay now, the yamen turned around, tired and weak, and in the end they could only sigh!
The official in Kaifeng Mansion almost didn't cry on the spot, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang, why are you doing so many official positions!
Yes, Yang Yilai is, the Ying Palace is a pure land, teach his son here, no one can bother, yesterday he just earned two thousand yuan outside the city, and today he also bought an exquisitely made ship model for his eldest son.
The model of the ship was three feet tall and three feet long, made of gold, silver and platinum paper, with a golden hull and silver sails, and even the little figures on the ship were lifelike.
Zhao Jie liked it very much when he saw it, he looked at the ship model dryly and said, "Master, can this boat be given to me?" ”
"Does Your Majesty like boats?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"I like it, teacher, during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, I also went to Jinmingchi to parade the navy, and at that time I took the big dragon boat, but I think the big dragon boat is not as good as the ship of the teacher, and my big dragon boat does not have such beautiful sails."
"Your Majesty, strictly speaking, your big dragon boat can't be considered a boat, it's just a boat. A real ship should raise its sails, sail on the boundless sea, withstand the blowing of strong winds and waves, and be able to carry the dream of a country, so that the footsteps of this country will never end. ”
Zhao Jie may not understand the meaning of Yang Yi's words for a while, so he listened very carefully, with a bright glint in his eyes.
Yang Yi couldn't help but reach out and gently pat him on the shoulder, and then said: "Your Majesty must remember that this world is very big, and the territory of my Great Song Dynasty only accounts for a small part of the world, if you compare the Great Song Dynasty to a big ship, and Your Majesty is the one at the helm, does Your Majesty want this ship to rot in a safe harbor, or does you want to let it sail to the boundless ocean?" ”
Zhao Jie said without hesitation: "Of course, let it sail to the boundless ocean." ”
"Why?"
"Because the teacher just said that a ship that does not sail to the sea is not a real ship."
"That's right, Your Majesty must remember what he said today, a ship that does not sail to the sea is not a real ship, and in the same way, a country that is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress is not a good country. There is a saying: Flowing water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle. Move also. Your Majesty, it's the same with a country. We must continue to forge ahead in order to keep our vitality alive and not to die. Do you remember? ”
"Teacher, I remember."
All along, Yang Yi has always spared no effort to instill this kind of thinking in his sons, whether they really understand it or not, in short, to imprint this enterprising spirit into their minds from an early age.
Now Zhao Jie is no longer studying alone, in addition to Yang Rui, there are Cai Bian's eldest grandson Cai Lin, Zheng Wang Pan Mei's fourth grandson Pan Yue, Wuhui Wang Cao Bin's fifth grandson Cao Shen, and Wu Wang Zhao Youyi's son Zhao Youyi, a total of five people to study.
Although the eldest of the five is no more than seven years old, they are all from high-ranking families. The tutoring was strict, Yang Yi and Zhao Jie talked, and the five of them stood honestly in the back, and they didn't dare to interject indiscriminately.
After mentioning the topic of ships with Zhao Jie, Yang Yi temporarily decided not to teach the Analects today and to take a geography class instead.
He walked up to his lesson plan, and the pretty and lovely Jasmine hurriedly came up to help polish the ink, these little things did not need her to do it herself;
She is now waiting for the Shang Palace. is in charge of waiting for the imperial order, responsible for the living life of Liu Qingjing and Zhao Jie's bedroom, and his status in the palace is almost the same as that of Xiaoju, but every time he has the opportunity to serve Yang Yi. She still insisted on doing it herself.
After she finished the ink, Yang Yi bowed slightly to her, and then picked up a pen and drew a map on the paper.
"Your Majesty. Let's take a look. ”
Zhao Jie and the five people immediately surrounded happily, and the child was always active. For them, as long as they don't have to sit in their seats and listen to lectures. It's a happy thing.
After Yang Yi finished painting, he asked with a smile, "Does anyone know what I painted?" ”
"It's a map." The five replied in unison.
"Yes, this is the map, this is the Great Song Dynasty, this is Goryeo, this is the South Seas, this is India, and here is the Great Food, Byzantium, and the Mediterranean"
Yang Yi pointed to the map a little, and while telling them, the five little guys listened with relish, Yang Yi asked with a smile, "Do you see it?" What does my map of the Great Song look like? ”
"Like a big rooster."
"Hehe, what is this?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to the location of the Great Xing'an Mountains.
"It's a cockscomb."
"What about this?" Yang Yi pointed to the location of the Western Regions again.
"It's the tail of the rooster."
"What about here?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to the islands of Taiwan and Hainan.
"It's the two feet of a rooster."
This time, Zhao Jie didn't say anything. He tilted his little head and looked at it again and said, "Well, Master, I don't think this is like the two feet of a big rooster." ”
"And what does Your Majesty think they look like?" Yang Yi was strange.
"Teacher, anyway, I don't think they look like the feet of a big rooster, last time the teacher took me out of the palace"
"Shhhh Your Majesty said carefully, when did Your Majesty leave the palace? ”
"Oh, I haven't been out, I haven't been out, hehe" Zhao Jie's smirk was clearly trying to cover up, and Jasmine and a few palace maids couldn't help but look away and snicker.
"Let's go on, why does Your Majesty think it doesn't resemble the feet of a big rooster?"
"Teacher, I've seen big roosters, big roosters' feet are so long, teacher, you see, they are so short, they don't look like the feet of big roosters at all, the feet of big roosters are so big, these feet are so small, can the big rooster stand firm?"
Listening to Zhao Jie's words, Yang Yi was stunned, in later generations it was said that Taiwan and Hainan Island were the two legs of a rooster, Yang Yi remembered that the teacher said so when he was in elementary school;
But if you carefully examine the world map, you have to admit that Zhao Jie's fairy tale is reasonable, China is so big, Taiwan and Hainan Island are so small, as the two feet of the rooster are indeed seriously unbalanced in proportion, intuitively, they really can't support the huge body of the rooster.
At the very least, Vietnam and the Philippines should be added, and it is more proportional to think of these two places as the two feet of a big rooster.
From the perspective of national politics and military, the two feet of the rooster are too short, and it is indeed as Zhao Jie said that China will not be able to stand on its feet.
Yang Yiman asked expectantly: "Then Your Majesty thinks where is it like the feet of a big rooster?" ”
Zhao Jie's little hand pointed to the Indochina Peninsula and the Philippine islands, and said happily: "Teacher, I think this is the foot of the big rooster." ”
"Your Majesty is right, very right, you must remember your own words today, if the big rooster doesn't have these two long legs, he can't stand steadily, let alone walk."
Yang Yi smiled! Laughing very happily.
