Chapter 305: Reconciliation
Zhu Heng got off the carriage at the gate of Guozijian and got into a wheelchair, only to find that the little eunuch in the entourage was actually dressed by Zeng Rong, and immediately smiled, tilted his head and stared at Zeng Rong for a long time, and the joy between his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.
The first time Zeng Rong wore eunuch clothes, he already felt weird, and he would be stared at by Zhu Heng without blinking, and he was even more uncomfortable.
"How? Isn't it ugly and awkward? Zeng Rong walked over and asked.
When she entered the Qianning Palace, the eunuch at the door stopped her, thinking that she was a little eunuch sent by a concubine to run errands, and even the emperor was stunned for a moment when he saw her, but he didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, when Fang was in Xihuamen, Zhu Heng didn't recognize her at the first time, so Zeng Rong himself was a little disappointed.
I'm also a little curious about what she looks like, but unfortunately, she only has a palm-sized scope, and she can't see what she looks like.
Zhu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's very good-looking, not awkward, and definitely the most handsome little eunuch in the palace." ”
"His Royal Highness has also learned badly now, so let's make fun of the little ones." Zeng Rong took the wheelchair from Xiao Haizi's hand, she wanted to know that the emperor and Zhu Heng shared a carriage just this way, what did the two talk about, and whether she was exposed.
According to Zhu Heng, the emperor did ask him what books he was reading recently, what he said, and also asked him what he thought of the painting "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".
"By the way, my father also asked about you, asked you what books you usually like to read, what you like to talk about with me, I guess, you should have a share of the credit for today's trip to the country, right?" Zhu Heng was completely relieved at this time.
He saw Chang Dezi coming over early this morning to spread the word, saying that his father was going to take him to the Guozijian and let him prepare for his life, but he wanted to refuse at that time, because his father's actions the day before hurt him.
But before he could say the words of refusal, Chang Dezi said that this was the emperor's intention and he must not refuse.
At that time, he felt weird, he hadn't seen his father have any intentions for him for so many years, why did he send Chang Dezi to say hello this time, and specially told him not to refuse, at that time, Zeng Rong's face flashed in front of him.
When Fang just got into the carriage at Xihua Gate, he looked at it, and there were either guards in red suits or eunuchs in blue eunuch suits, and there were no women.
Zhu Heng, who was extremely disappointed, still felt a little bored when he got into the carriage, but his father appointed him to share a carriage with him, not to mention how awkward it was.
Because this was the first time he had shared a carriage with his father after remembering, and there were only their father and son in the carriage, after so many years of neglect and forgetfulness, the ice in Zhu Heng's heart had already exceeded three feet thick.
Fortunately, this journey was not long, and the carriage stopped before Zhu Xu sorted out those questions, and Zhu Heng also found that longing face the moment he sat in the wheelchair, and at that moment, he reconciled with his father.
Zeng Rong didn't know that Zhu Heng had actually walked such a long mental road in just a moment, and because of her, he let go of his ten years of obsession and hatred, reconciled with himself, and reconciled with Zhu Xu.
"Yesterday, the official overstepped the rules and offended him." Zeng Rong pushed Zhu Heng forward and talked about the dispute yesterday afternoon.
In fact, if it weren't for the emperor's "a bunch of nonsense" that angered her, she wouldn't have planned to speak, but the other party gave her a chance, if she didn't seize it, it would be too sorry for her rebirth.
"So that's the case, no wonder my father asked me how much I knew about the history of the two Song Dynasty, and I replied that he only knew one or two from the "Qingming Riverside Map" and Song Ci, and I didn't know anything else." Zhu Heng said regretfully.
He regretted that he didn't help Zeng Rong, and he also regretted that he didn't know as much as Zeng Rong.
In fact, this can't be blamed on him, in the previous years, Mr. only taught him piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and did not touch any books on history, that is, in the past few months, he took the initiative to learn, and he found a book, and Mr. had to start teaching, and now he has just talked about the history of the two Han Dynasty.
While talking, they entered the Guozijian, the Guozijian sacrificial wine got the news and personally greeted it, Zeng Rong and his entourage followed him along a long corridor into a courtyard, take a closer look, they entered the courtyard from the back door, along the steps of the back porch to the second floor, there is a grandstand similar to a patio on the second floor, sitting around the grandstand can see the lobby downstairs, there is a high platform in front of the lobby, there are several desks on the table, each desk sits in front of three scholar-like people, look closely, there is the name of the academy in front of the desk.
There are rows of seats under the high platform, basically full, there are still many people standing behind the seats, Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng are looking down, several officials came out of the room on the second floor, Zeng Rong recognized Xu Fushan and Ouyang Ruoying, in addition to Sun Shi and several officials Zeng Rong did not know, seeing them, Zhu Xu waved his hand first, pointed downstairs, he came to listen to the debate, he didn't want to alarm the students downstairs, which is why he asked people to bring them in through the back door.
Because the debate downstairs had begun, Zhu Xu also quickly sat down, Zhu Heng sat beside him, and Zeng Rong stood.
When Zeng Rong calmed down and listened, he found that the debate topic downstairs was actually why the tax income of the two Song Dynasty was much higher than that of Da Zhou.
It turned out that this was the reason why the emperor brought her to listen to this debate, because he wanted her to have a long experience and stop watching the leopard.
Zeng Rong did not know the student who spoke, and Zeng Rong saw that he not only listed the commercial development of the two Song Dynasty, but also emphasized that the maritime trade of the Two Song Dynasty was also developed, and the annual tax was not a small amount.
The Great Zhou Dynasty implemented a strict sea ban, the maritime trade was basically zero, coupled with the inhibition of commercial development, the commercial tax as the main tax force in the Song and Song Dynasty was abandoned by the Great Zhou, and the agricultural tax provoked the beam, which fundamentally restricted the development of the Great Zhou tax.
"This is an obvious self-severance, it is the degradation of society, in the long run, the household inventory will become more and more difficult, once the famine comes, there is no money to help, the war comes, there is no money to pay the military salary, the internal worries have not been eliminated, the external troubles are also unable to eliminate, and the final result is only one."
As for what this result was, the student didn't say it explicitly, but Zeng Rong could see that Zhu Xu's face was a lot longer.
"I don't agree with your point of view, as you said, the two Song Dynasty commerce is indeed prosperous, the treasury is full, and the people are rich, but we have all seen the results of the two Song Dynasty, therefore, the factor that determines whether a country is long-term is by no means whether the business is developed or not, but agriculture and the army, agriculture has developed steadily, the people are not hungry, the soldiers can eat well, have combat effectiveness, and do not indulge in pleasure, this is the way for a country to have long-term peace and stability." Someone retorted.
As soon as he said this, Zhu Xu's face finally softened.
