Chapter 19: Doubts
Hu Deyan smiled and said, "Didn't we have a preparation in Yilan City before? β
Wang Yifan snorted coldly: "I thought it was a good idea for you." We were prepared in Yilan City. Speaking of which, isn't it the struggle between your Confucianism and Taoism? You Confucian people, you can't get used to Miss Mingyue organizing Taoism to open Taoism, and I'm afraid that in the future, everyone in the world will go to Taoism, and no one will go to Confucianism. Afraid that the Taoist sect will shake the status of your Confucian sect? β
"So, you let the scholars of Hu Province organize and go to Yilan City together, ready to give Qin Mingyue a dismount, and even prepare to get out of the Confucian students to meditate in the place where Miss Mingyue stays, and let the Confucian students criticize Miss Mingyue with words."
"Although I don't read much, I also understand that Xiucai has been rebelling for three years. Just relying on a few Confucian students to sit like that, and a few Confucian students to scold a few words, can lose Miss Mingyue's face. But what can be done? Less meat doesn't make it? It's just to embarrass Qin Mingyue. Maybe the little girl is thin-skinned and even crying, what else? Of course, you Confucian scholars can hack her in the history books, but that is also a matter behind you. She's a little girl, maybe she doesn't care at all. β
Hu Deyan was choked by Wang Yifan, so he could only breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a strong spirit: "What you said is true." However, the power of the famous religion should not be underestimated. If Miss Mingyue wants to be like Shen Guoshi, obsessed with the study of Taoism and not take care of things much, then she probably doesn't care about our preparations in Yilan City. However, if she wants to manage the government and participate in political affairs, she has to deal with scholars all over the world. All the officials in the world, except for your military attachΓ©s, are all from our Confucianism. β
"Can she offend them all? Then she will not be able to move an inch, and how can she participate in political affairs? Even if it's her Taoism that has cultivated talents. Ten years of planting trees, a hundred years of people. If you want to train qualified officials, you will need at least more than ten years of hard work. That's less to say. In the past ten years, isn't she greedy for power? β
"So, our previous arrangement will cause her a lot of trouble. It would even ruin her. A ruined little girl, let alone ruling in the future, even if she talks about her relatives in the future, it will become a problem. Isn't that serious enough? Even, the Qin family behind her, all the unmarried children, and nobles will be affected. Doesn't it mean that her sister has already said that she is married, and after the national funeral, she will be ready to get married? There is still more than a month to go abroad for a funeral, and her sister is also preparing to get married, at this time, if she is ruined and her sister's family withdraws from the marriage, can she stand it? Can her family stand it? β
Wang Yifan couldn't help but shudder, these scholars are really soft knives to kill. If that's really the case, maybe, Qin Mingyue's sister will die, and maybe, the Qin family will not be able to marry in the future. This is really poisonous.
Seeing the expression on Wang Yifan's face, Hu Deyan felt a little more comfortable. Hmph, these reckless people, if you don't give some color, you just can't do it.
Hu Deyan continued: "According to our original plan, we want to draft Qin Mingyue. Now, however, we have to revise our plans. When Qin Mingyue was forced into a corner, you dispatched troops, and I dispatched Shilinzhong's relations, and then used the power of the two of us in Hu Province to help Qin Mingyue block the attacks of these Confucian students. You say, how much favor does Qin Mingyue owe us? β
"When we attacked her before, we didn't help her for her mistakes, didn't she pursue it? She won't pursue it, what else will the court pursue? Aren't the two of us safe? β
"She owes us a favor, and we will take the initiative to befriend her appropriately. I send my family, and you send your daughter, your wife, to have fellowship with her, and she will receive us. If we are good friends with a national teacher, our future prospects will not be good. At this time, we will express it for the prince again, saying that all this was arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince, and we were afraid that she would be wronged in Lake Province, so we specially asked the two of us to protect her. In this way, doesn't she also owe the prince a favor? When she arrives in the capital, she still doesn't want to thank the prince? Can you still not be on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you not praise us for doing a good job? β
Wang Yifan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Shine." It's a really good idea. Master Hu, you scholars are still smart. Can you come up with such a good idea? β
Hu Deyan also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Wang Yifan continued to stand with him: "When the time comes, we can also encourage some businessmen in Hu Province to take out some money, such as 100,000 taels of silver." For Qin Mingyue to run a Taoist school. This can be regarded as our support for her to run a Taoist school. Can she not be satisfied? I'm afraid that there is a possibility that we will be our confidants in the future. In the future, in terms of meritorious deeds, we can also record a credit to the officials of Hu Province. β
Wang Yifan immediately said: "It's nothing to let those merchants give an extra 100,000 taels of silver. They all made a fortune in the floods last year. How good it is, we don't spend a penny and get things done. It's a brilliant idea. β
Next, Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan discussed a lot of things.
At this moment, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui of Shanshui City sent away the people of Ba Province who went back by boat. There are a lot of people from Ba Province, but less than half of them have returned. The rest were killed in battle. The ashes of these people are to be returned to their homeland. And, of course, with a generous bereavement pension. Among them, Yun Feiyang has not yet broken through, and he is ready to return to Ba Province and break through again in the valley of the Yun family's ancestral tomb. There is also Mrs. Gu who takes care of their father and son. When their father and son went back this time, they were also responsible for selecting more than twenty female guards from the Golden Eagle Clan and sending them to Qin Mingyue.
After they left, Xiao Rui ordered the big ship to start sailing, among them, there was an additional small boat, and that small boat carried some people who were seriously injured this time. These people had to speed up the navigation of the river in front of them and reach the capital as soon as possible, and in the capital, they had to continue to recuperate from their injuries, and after all the injuries were healed, they also retired. Of course, these people will also be well taken care of on board. The person who took care of them was the doctor of the men of the Gu family. These Gu family members were to be sent to the Beijing Tai Hospital to serve as imperial doctors. Just return to the capital with you, take care of the wounded, and you can become an official of the imperial court.
In addition to these men of the ancient family, there are also two girls of the ancient family, which are ready to be given to the concubines in the palace. Concubine Li's due date is approaching.
The people of the Gu family, and the four girls of the Gu family remained, all of whom followed Qin Mingyue's side. They will return to the capital later.
