Chapter 234 - Paying Tribute to the Former Ming Ministers (3)
Ji Kaisheng's storytelling ability is not good, and his words are tragic and touching, even Tang Ruowang, a foreigner, was moved, and kept lamenting and regretting, and kept drawing crosses on his chest, praying that the souls of these heroic people could ascend to heaven:
"Merciful Virgin, although Meng Zhaoxiang's father, son, wife and daughter-in-law have not joined the church, their chaste deeds can be described as tragic. Bring them into the kingdom of heaven and be in peace forever. Influence the people of this vast land with your kindness and make them understand that all suffering comes from your mercy...... Amen! ”
Hongyi turned a blind eye to this choice, did not obstruct it, and did not look sideways, but said to Ji Kaisheng:
"I see, Meng's family is full of chastity and filial piety, which is sad and respectable! It is really noble for Lord Lingzun to think so much about the imperial court! ”
After listening to this heroic story, although Hongyi felt that this family was a little "foolish and loyal", he was still moved by its heroism, and couldn't help but admire it, and hurriedly raised his evaluation of Ji Yuyong several levels to show relief.
"Lord Belle, not only that, if Lord Tang comes forward to mention this matter, and chooses tomorrow as the auspicious day of the zodiac, specifying that the sacrifice of the Meng clan is a move of the heavens, then you will second, this Hanchen and Han people in the whole world will not only be grateful for the kindness of the court, but also remember your righteousness......"
Ji Kaisheng was still not satisfied, almost "and the plate was revealed", so he almost said directly - this is a good time for you to further gather a group of Hanchen Han people!
"Well, Brother Tianzhong protects Xuanye's heart, I am grateful!" Hongyi suddenly realized!
"Not only that, Lord Belle. Supervisor Tang mentioned this matter. Nine times out of ten, the emperor will definitely grant it, and with your secondment, Kaisheng thought that by then the important ministers of Manchuria would know that you were close to Lord Tang. With your position in the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Li today, they will naturally not think rashly about the people who come from the west and the Holy Sect! Ji Kaisheng looked at Tang Ruowang with anticipation.
"Oh! I see. Tang Ruowang also understood, but he didn't rush to thank Ji Kaisheng, but instead glanced at Xiao Xuanye and continued to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
After observing John Tang's expression, Hongyi fell into deep thought instead. And so it goes. No matter how anxious Ji Kaisheng was, he could only continue to wait......
Long. Hongyi, who had made up his mind, finally spoke: "Brother Tianzhong is thoughtful, and he is all for me and Old Marfa. However, this matter can actually be divided into two places, one is feasible. There's another place. It seems to be still judging. ”
"Please show Lord Baylor!" Ji Kaisheng hurriedly responded.
"Commemorate the martyrdom of the late Ming. This can be done. ”
"Thank you, Lord Belle!"
"However, how to handle this matter can be done in a different way. Manchu and Han are one. I value it the most! Therefore, it is my duty to seconded this matter! However, it is far-fetched for old Marfa to go out in person. Since tomorrow is Meng Shilang's death day, Qin Tianjian said that if he doesn't say whether the day is auspicious or not, it will be done, right? After Hongyi finished speaking, he saw Tang Ruowang's grateful eyes.
"This ......" Ji Kaisheng was a little discouraged.
"Brother Tianzhong, you said that if a group of Hanchen are excluded and suppressed, people from the west such as Tang Lao Mafa will also be in danger, I agree very much. But now there is still my emperor Ama who is controlling the overall situation, and the government has not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted as you said. Since this is the case, there is no need to insist that Old Marfa go out in person, so as not to show the dew and let those people remember it for no reason. ”
The meaning of this sentence is actually to continue to maintain John Tang's transcendent status in the court, which can be regarded as a kind of understanding and protection of the old man.
Sure enough, Tang Ruowang hurriedly got up and saluted: "The old minister is grateful!" ”
"Hehe, Xuan Ye's business. Besides, it would be nice to have the care of old Marfa, so why bother with all the fanfare? ”
"Whoa......
Ji Kaisheng understood what it meant for Xiao Ye Xuanye to "hide" Tang Ruowang as a "strategic reserve", so he could only reluctantly agree. And what Hongyi thought at this time was very simple: he came forward to support the memorial to Meng Zhaoxiang, which is reasonable and reasonable, after all, his emperor Ama said in the early years that the father and son of the family are loyal and righteous people, and it is estimated that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not criticize him. But if this matter allows John Tang to come forward, the gains outweigh the losses.
Since John Tang entered China, he has become an official of the Qing Dynasty from a guest secretary in the Ming Dynasty, and so far few people say that he is a "second minister", that is to say, as a Western missionary, at least from the perspective of the Manchu and Han sides, there is no question of "changing the generation". In this case, when he came forward to "show his loyalty", he was a bit unprofessional, and it was easy to get angry...... This kind of thing is best arranged to be handled by the relevant personnel of the "functional department". Thinking of this, Hongyi said:
"But since it's feasible, it can't be hasty. Brother Tianzhong, don't be discouraged, I'll recommend someone to you, 'you' can go to him to discuss, just say that it's my Xuanye trust! Seeing Ji Kaisheng's loss, Hongyi then added.
"We?" Ji Kaisheng really noticed the emphasis and difference in the words used by the master.
"Yes, you guys." Hongyi replied with a smile.
"Please also ask Lord Belle to make it clear."
"Haha, why don't you ask Mr. Tan Qian and Mr. Tan? Besides, don't you and him both have the same person? ”
"Befriending one person at the same time?" Ji Kaisheng really couldn't react for a while.
"Well, Brother Tianzhong is the sixth year of Shunzhi in high school, right?"
"Lord Belle has a good memory! The lower officials are not talented. Ji Kaisheng was a little excited.
"In that year's examination, those who acted as fellow examiners were all counted as your 'house masters'?" Hongyi knew that with such a reminder, how could Ji Kaisheng still not be able to react?
"Oh, you mean Zhu Mengjiu?" Ji Kaisheng suddenly realized.
"Yes, it's Zhu Zhixi! He is a young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and a bachelor of the Inner Academy of History. Isn't it also the old man he invited to Beijing to edit "Guoyi"! [See Chapter 78 "All Cultural People"]
"Oh, Kaisheng really didn't expect it, thanks to the reminder of the master!"
After this reminder, Ji Kaisheng was finally overjoyed.
First, the master asked him to negotiate peace to deal with this matter, which can be regarded as "using" them two unnamed "shogunate military advisors". In this way, it means to look down on them, a good thing! Second, Zhu Zhixi is also a pivotal figure in Emperor Fulin, and he has a great grasp of it. Three, the master clearly used his banner to "trust", which can be regarded as a clear indication of Zhu Zhixi, as the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu who is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace, Zhu Zhixi will not shirk it!
However, as the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, Zhu Zhixi's appearance in this matter seems to be a little far away...... This matter should have been the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites......" Hongyi said thoughtfully, talking to himself.
"Kaisheng understands, this matter will be handed over to me and Mr. Tan, please rest assured!" Ji Kaisheng got the hint again, and naturally he had the bottom in his heart - he said that the "Ministry of Rites" was coming, and the direction was very clear!
"Good! You guys, Xuan Ye is at ease! "Mao~ Grandpa's classic quotations have been working for 10,000 years! I'll borrow it and give you Ji Kaisheng a big sweet date......

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
Outside the map, there is a lot of strength
It's hard to know what you're going to do
I got up and wore Rokkazi
