Chapter 200: Confrontation That Spreads Upwards (2)
The decoration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is as simple as that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even in the eyes of the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, the simplicity of the Great Song Dynasty was somewhat surprising. There was an idea in his heart, and the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom did not dare to mention it at all. Sitting in front of Luo Yiren, the acting minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the forty-year-old Goryeo envoy asked the twenty-year-old acting minister for advice.
"Minister Luo, can the Great Song Dynasty have a big military parade this year?"
The Great Song Dynasty has a rule that the National Day will be read every five years and the National Day will be read every ten years. This year is the 330th year of the Great Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that there should be a military parade. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty was still in a state of war against Mongolia, and the Goryeo envoys didn't dare to be self-righteous. If something is wrong, it will cause the anger of the Great Song officials, and the Goryeo envoy will probably have to apologize with death.
"I haven't heard of anything about this until now." The young Minister Luo replied calmly.
"Apart from waiting for the Ministry of Governorship to inform us, can we do anything to prepare?"
"The official family is a benevolent monarch, if you are preparing to work hard and hurt money, do you want to trap the official family in unkindness?" Acting Minister Luo Yiren spoke in a very straightforward tone.
Hearing this, the secretary next to him rubbed his nose vigorously, so that he didn't laugh out loud. Many people are very skeptical about why the official family would choose Luo Yiren, who is in his twenties, to be the acting minister of the Ministry of Finance, and those who have really come into contact with Minister Luo know that this young man does have characteristics that ordinary people can't match.
"Minister Luo, don't get me wrong. The country has no such intention, no such intention. ”
"If you don't have that intention, just wait quietly for our department to inform you."
“…… Minister Luo, the monarch of the country is still a little puzzled, why the official family does not decide that the day of Taizu's accession to the throne is the National Day. ”
"Taizu's accession to the throne is New Year's Day, and choosing this day as the National Day will dilute the atmosphere of the National Day on New Year's Day. The day of the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was chosen as the day of the true unification of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"I see." The Goryeo envoy did not know the origin of the National Day of the Great Song Dynasty, and when he heard the official explanation, he felt that it was reasonable. In the past, the Great Song Dynasty did not have a National Day, and the year was also a year name system. After Zhao Jiaren became the emperor, he carried out a comprehensive reform of this, not by the name of the year, but by the year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. The 330 years of the Great Song Dynasty have a sense of historical heaviness more than a certain year.
As for the National Day, Zhao Jiaren did not choose the day when Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, accepted the Chai family's Chan concession, but chose the beginning of May of the 9th year of the Great Song Dynasty when the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, the last of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, went out of the city and surrendered. This day is of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, and in the face of such an exquisite choice, even those Confucian scholars have personal opinions at most.
After sending off the king of Goryeo, Luo Yiren held a meeting, and as the acting minister, Luo Yiren said very happily: "Recently, the news from Sinhala came back that the three Buddhas sent by the official family finally solved the local king of Sinhala. I think the officials must have known the news, so what should we suggest? ”
Anyone who can mix in the ministry is not a fool, and immediately a good person kicked the ball back, "Minister Luo, who is really in charge of Sinhala now?" ”
Luo Yiren was not unhappy because of this, he smiled: "Haha, good question." Actually, I want to ask the official who is in charge of this Sinhala. ”
At this point, many of the people in the Li Fan Department were smiling. With such an acting minister, the world is full of intimacy. If this question can really be answered positively by the officials, the Rin-ho clan will be able to get relief from the disturbing speculation in no time.
After discussing this issue, the young official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately raised another question, "If Sinhala is pacified, who will send troops to the southern states of Tianzhu?" ”
"The Three Buddhas have been attacked by the Sinhalese in the past, and this time the Three Buddhas will attack the Sinhalese. The Tamils in the south of Tianzhu had invaded Sinhala, so naturally they hired Sinhalese soldiers to attack the Tamil Kingdom in the south. Sinhalese people believe in Buddhism, and Buddhists talk about pecking and drinking. I think the Sinhalese people should be very much in agreement. ”
No one of the officials of the Ministry of Governors answered, and with everyone's intelligence, they naturally knew that Acting Minister Luo Yiren was taking advantage of the hatred between the feudal states. It would be fine if he only told about this, but the young Minister Luo used such appropriate words to wrap his words. If you just listen to 'a peck and a drink', you will really know that Luo Yiren is a Buddhist. In reality, all the ministers have studied religious history, and none of them, from ministers to cadres, are religious believers.
After getting off work in the evening, Luo Yiren returned home. I thought about having a chat with my parents, so I ran to see my girlfriend. As soon as Luo Yiren showed his head, he heard the old lady say: "You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight." ”
"What's the matter?" Luo Yiren felt that this atmosphere was not right.
"Your cousin was called by a saint." Mrs. Luo's tone was heavy.
"Which cousin?" Luo Yiren asked tentatively.
"Your eldest cousin, of course." Mrs. Luo replied angrily. Luo Yiren has only one uncle, this uncle has three daughters and one son under his knees, the golden age is 9, and the golden age is only 2,000, and it is not yet time to talk about marriage.
"Oh? Can she get married? When he thought of his eldest cousin, Luo Yiren's words were naturally full of confrontation. He has never gotten along with this cousin since he was a child. Luo Yiren himself felt that he was mean enough, but in front of his cousin, he was really willing to bow down.
Mrs. Luo was furious and scolded her son: "How can such a good lady as your cousin not get married." It's you, you're not in shape, I'm worried that you won't be able to marry a wife. ”
Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, Luo Yiren replied with a smile: "It's just right if I can't marry, and I'm happy to be idle." If I had to marry a wife like my cousin, I think I would have become a monk. Mother, if there is nothing else, I will go out to wander. ”
Mrs. Luo has no way to do anything about her son, Luo Yiren's cleverness naturally doesn't need to be said, and there are no other shortcomings except for his unserious words. The most outrageous thing is that Luo Yiren turned out to be an acting minister, if he can become a regular, it will be one of the dozen ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing that her son was not the object of conversation at all, Mrs. Luo reprimanded: "Go, go, hurry up and marry the little lady home." What's the point of dragging it out like that. ”
Luo Yiren got the order and ran away. I went to the vegetable market to buy some fruits, and then I went to the dim sum shop to buy dim sum. There were a lot of people in the dim sum shop, and when he was slapping the team to check out, Luo Yiren couldn't help but think of his cousin. Luo Yiren's mother's surname is Zhu, and his cousin's name is Zhu Fanghua. According to Luo Yiren's wife, the queen intends to marry the Zhu family. If he becomes a relative of the emperor, will it affect his future. Luo Yiren's brain child came up with such a mean thought. However, in a blink of an eye, Luo Yiren still understood his thoughts, he didn't want his cousin to marry into the emperor's family.
As the acting minister of the Ministry of Affairs, Zhao Guanjia is a person that Luo Yiren admires immensely. This person is smart and wise, this person is far-sighted, this person is not bound by any stereotypes, and the sentence 'For diplomacy, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends' made Luo Yiren bow and worship. But a perfect official family means perfect cold-bloodedness, and Luo Yiren feels that marrying into such a family is really terrifying.
Zhu Fanghua didn't know her cousin's thoughts, and she was having a good conversation with the queen at this time. In her personal thoughts, Zhu Fanghua has no intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, she has also made preparations, if the queen asks her if she wants to marry into the royal family, she will immediately refuse.
But Queen Qin didn't ask, she just chatted with Zhu Fanghua naturally. Zhu Fanghua was quickly attracted by Empress Qin, and there were many rumors about this Empress of the Great Song Dynasty, which was not conducive to the queen's majority. Some say she's jealous, others say she's scheming, and others say she's power-hungry.
In this short conversation, Zhu Fanghua had no way to judge the truth of these rumors. She could only be sure that Empress Qin was very responsible, and there was not the slightest evil spirit on her body.
At this time, it was already late, and Empress Qin said, "If the official family doesn't come back today, I will leave you for a meal." But the official family is coming back for dinner, so I can only invite you to come in a few days. ”
"The concubine still doesn't bother the saint, the saint is so busy, there is no need to deign to call the concubine to come."
Hearing this, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I were as young as you, I would definitely say the same thing as you." But at this age, it's so hard to find someone to talk to? ”
Zhu Fanghua felt a little sad in her heart after hearing this, but she was sad and sad, she still replied decisively: "The people in the world who are willing to please the saint are carrying buckets, and the concubines have always been rude, but I am afraid that they will not be able to serve the saints." ”
"Haha, that's what you said, I still hope you can come and talk to me. Today you go back first. ”
After sending Zhu Fanghua away, Qin Yuzhen went to the study. That was the place where Zhao Jiaren often stayed, and when he entered the study, he saw the candlelight in the room, and Zhao Jiaren was reading at the desk with glasses. Qin Yuzhen pulled a chair and sat down opposite Zhao Jiaren, and then said, "I met a little lady, who can probably be a good match for Dalang." ”
"And then?" Zhao Jiaren put down his pen and asked.
"It's just that the little lady doesn't want to marry into the emperor's family."
Zhao Jiaren took off his glasses and leaned back in his chair. He sighed: "If those girls from good families want to get married, they all want to marry and raise children, and form a family where they can be the masters, who wants to go to this completely unfree royal family." ”
"I will see some people again, whether I want to or not, the incense of the Zhao family cannot be cut off. I will never allow Empress Yang and Xie Daoqing to do anything wrong in the royal family. The official family was lucky to marry me. Da Lang is very similar to the official family in these things, hmph, it is the official family that connives. I'm going to have to find a good match for him. ”
"I'll admit, I was lucky to marry you. But I don't know what my luck is, and I ask the saint to explain it. Zhao Jiaren said in a sincere tone.
"Have you ever heard that a good man has no good wife?"
"Yes. I also think it makes sense. ”
"Then the official family thinks that if there is no sage of Meng's mother, there is the ability of Mencius?"
“…… There won't be. ”
"A peerless hero like the official family naturally feels that the world is under control. Isn't it just a wife's room, what is it? As long as the other party makes a hero like the official happy, he can take on anything. ”
"Hmm...... Men should be like that, right? ”
"No, men are most afraid of distraction. If I am coquettish, will the official family refuse to coax me? However, if it makes me happy, what good will it do to the official family. It's just to make the officials think they're very capable. In addition, how many relatives are taking advantage of the power of the official family to do wrong, it is even more unexpected. ”
Zhao Jiaren looked at his wife dumbfounded, he really hadn't thought about it so much before. Even if I want to, I just think that my wife is virtuous and capable, and she is a virtuous helper. But I didn't expect that since ancient times, heroes have no good class, and the good wife understands it so well in her heart.
"Liu Bang is a pavilion chief, a hooligan, in addition to the help of Empress Lu, when he escaped, his son was thrown out of the car for fear of being overtaken. is such unscrupulous means that can overcome Xiang Yu, who was entangled by Yu Ji's tenderness. Wait until he is confused by Mrs. Qi, what will happen in the end. Mrs. Qi's son was killed, and Mrs. Qi was made a man. Of course, I don't approve of Empress Lu's viciousness, but once you are self-righteous, the end will definitely not be good. Official, Da Lang is good for everything else, but his temperament is more like you, too soft-hearted. Official, you are extremely smart, you will not be deceived by the ministers, and if you are soft-hearted, you will not become a tyrant. But if Da Lang can't find a virtuous helper, he can't hold on. ”
“…… If you find the right little lady, introduce me. In addition, talk about the benefits of this little lady, and I will let Da Lang understand your hard work. ”
"Alas, such women don't force them to marry Da Lang, they can really follow Da Lang. A person who is so capable as Empress Lu does not still get the dictatorship of the Lu family. Empress Qin sighed again.
Seeing his wife embarrassed like this, Zhao Jiaren only had the sigh of 'who says an inch of carelessness, and repays Sanchunhui'.
When his wife left, Zhao Jiaren couldn't write anything. He didn't want to think about these things, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, so he put on his glasses and picked up the piece and looked at it. This is Lu Feizhi's recital, which tells his views on Jiang Ning. Recently, Jiang Ning looks very chaotic, but it is far from the point of shaking the situation. Those stupid and greedy people have been caught, and the smarter little greedy accounts are fine, they just like to pass through the public things. Although this is annoying, it's not the point right now.
The real focus is on the sluices on the excavated river, which means that the entire water system can be freely regulated, and from then on, the flood and drought can no longer shake the grain production in the Jiangning area. Lu Feizhi asked Zhao Guanjia to send the best construction team to the construction in the chapter.
After reading this, Zhao Jiaren sighed. His son Zhao Qian studied water conservancy engineering, since this is the case, it is better to let Zhao Qian go with the team.
Putting down the concerto, Zhao Jiaren took off his glasses and threw them on the table. He is fifty years old this year, and he can no longer afford not to think about death. There is not much time left for Zhao Jiaren, and if nothing else, the level of the heir of the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to surpass Zhao Jiaren. But Da Song itself is constantly improving, and Zhao Jiaren has to think more about his family.
