Chapter 301: Gifts and Revenge
Brother Yao Shi temporarily settled down in Suzhou, waiting for the arrival of the next group of brothers.
However, the news here spread everywhere at the speed of the wind, and with a few letters sent by Lin Qingwan, before the next group of people arrived, all countries knew that Mr. Ji had donated all the books he had collected to Liang Guo's reading building.
This news exploded like a bomb, and not only other countries, but also the monarchs and ministers of Daliang were shocked.
Emperor Liang first asked the attendants beside him, "Did I hear a mistake?" What did they just say? β
The waiter bent down and bowed his head and repeated, "Mr. Ji donated seven carts of books to the Reading Building. β
Emperor Liang's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at the people below and asked, "Mr. Ji, is this intentional to join my Liang?" β
The ministers were silent for a moment, and Chen Shangshu said, "Could it be that Mr. Ji wants to curry favor left and right?" β
The official snorted coldly: "Mr. Ji is not stupid. β
It's taboo to please left and right, he won't do this kind of thing, how can Mr. Ji do it?
Instead, Ren Shangshu touched his beard and said, "Maybe it's because of Lord Lin?" Your Majesty, the minister remembered that when he was in the capital, Mr. Ji had met privately with Lord Lin. β
The fourth prince also nodded, "Father, why don't you write to ask the third sister." β
At this time, the fourth prince was very close to her, and the emperor glanced at him and nodded: "It's okay, I heard that Mr. Ji's eldest disciple Yao Shi is still in Suzhou." β
The ministers knew in their hearts that they wanted to recruit talents.
The secretary of the ministry was in high spirits and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the ministry to send two officials to go in person?" In addition to Yao Shi, there are many young talents. β
Although the imperial examination has passed, there is still a probationary system, as long as they are willing to go out, they can come up with a lot of places.
Emperor Liang thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "Don't worry, listen to what Lord Lin has to say first." β
It's not good if it backfires.
The Great Liang Dynasty was quiet for the time being, and only dealt with other things first, such as Jiangling, as if they didn't know about this matter.
But other countries were not so calm, and the biggest reactions were Jiangling and Chu.
Emperor Meng is now worried about external and internal troubles, and he was stimulated by this news and fell ill directly, but he still couldn't help but find the officials under him to scold, "It doesn't matter if you can't keep people, can't you even read a few books?" β
The officials were aggrieved, those students were not from Jiangling, why did they stop people from leaving?
Not to mention those books, after Mr. Ji left, didn't you still want to leave a line in the future so that you could invite people back with the friendship of your homeland, so although you sealed the academy, you didn't raid your home?
They can't always send someone to guard Ji's house, right?
And the Ji family has always had Mr. Ji's disciples, since it is not a raid, of course it is impossible to drive people away, and don't you still want to recruit people, how can you blame them as soon as something happens?
The monarchs and ministers here are resentful of each other, but the Chu State next door is angry with father and son, Emperor Chu didn't expect him to treat Ji Yuan with delicious food and drink, and greet each other as in-laws, but he repaid him like this.
Emperor Chu was full of resentment, but this anger was not good for Ji Yuan, after returning from Liang, he was not a deputy envoy, and he was unwilling to accept other official positions of Emperor Chu, now Ji Yuan is a free body, and Emperor Chu wants to scold him.
Then you can only scold your son.
Didn't you say that you accepted others, aren't you someone's grandson-in-law, how did your father-in-law cheat your father?
Prince Chu was also very angry, he was angry that Ji Yuan didn't know what to do, and he was also angry that his father had suppressed Ji Yuan before, which caused the current situation.
In his opinion, people like Ji Yuan have to hold it, and if you hold people comfortably, you don't have to worry that he won't work for you, just like Ji Nian.
But his father had to put the emperor's pedigree, and wanted to subdue people, and he had said before that if he really sent Ji Yuan to envoy Liang Guo, then he should be the main envoy, and Song Jing should be the deputy envoy.
The father has to come the other way, now it's okay, the Ji family is very arrogant, there is no reason for the arrogance of the scholar, scorned once, I don't know how much effort it will take to bring people back in the future.
It's a pity that his father can point to his nose and scold without hesitation, but he can't say the words in his stomach, so he can only carry it with his head down.
Emperor Chu scolded, thought about it and thought about it, but still couldn't hold back, "Recruit Ji Yuan into the palace." β
Prince Chu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Father, Mr. Ji has a very high reputation, if you ......"
"Don't worry, I didn't want to kill him," Emperor Chu said angrily, "I just want to hear how he explains this matter, isn't my Chu State not good enough for him?" β
Mr. Ji's explanation is that there is no explanation, he calmly entered the palace, and he also calmly played against Emperor Chu, and the other party didn't mention it, so he only thought that he was entering the palace to play chess.
It's best that Emperor Chu can't help but mention this matter as if he was joking.
Ji Yuan raised his head slightly, glanced at the emperor with a smile on his face, but angry in his eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart, when it comes to scheming, Emperor Chu is indeed stronger than Emperor Liang, but in terms of open-mindedness, it is also much worse.
Liang Guo and Mr. Ji were also involved a lot, and the first country he lobbied for was Da Liang, and he had dealings with Emperor Liang, Lin Ying, and even several old ministers in the court.
There was even a time when Emperor Liang would send students from Guozixue to Jiangling to study, and he and Liang had always maintained a friendly relationship, and the relationship was much better than that with Chu.
But in this way, he suddenly appeared in the mission of the Chu State, although Emperor Liang was shocked and shocked, he was not angry, and he would not question him like Emperor Chu.
Because he is not from Liang, he is from Gangneung!
Even Emperor Meng didn't point at his nose and asked why did you run away from the country, why did Emperor Chu ask him why he gave his books to the reading building of Liang State?
Ji Yuan thought so in his heart, his face became more and more indifferent, and he said in four or two: "The grass people have an old relationship with the Lin family, and they still remember the support of Lin Gong back then, so they agreed as soon as they heard the Lin County Lord's request." β
He raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Why, Your Majesty also wants books?" β
Emperor Chu smiled and said, "I just want it, can Mr. Ji send me another batch?" β
"It's all given to Lord Lin, Your Majesty can't take it out if you want me, but there is another way," Mr. Ji said lightly: "You can copy the books in the reading building and take them away, Your Majesty can send some people to copy them, and copy which one you want." β
Emperor Chu pinched the chess pieces and fell, and was silent for a moment before asking with a smile, "Didn't you say that Mr. is going to re-admit apprentices and run academies, how are things prepared?" β
Mr. Ji frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people are old and have limited energy, and now they just want to enjoy their old age in peace, but I am afraid that they will not be able to teach students." β
"Sir is modest, I see that Sir is very healthy, and it will not be a problem to teach for another ten or twenty years, so let's do it," Emperor Chu dropped the chess pieces and said with a smile: "How about I have someone build you academies?" If you are afraid of being tired, then leave the matter to the Ministry of Rites to do, just wait for the students to be recruited, and you can go to give a class every few days. β
It's about pulling the flag and doing things.
Mr. Ji was even more unhappy in his heart, from the day he returned to Chu State, he rejected Emperor Chu's proposal to accept apprentices again, but he didn't expect that after so long, he still hadn't given up.
Mr. Ji pursed his lips, knowing that if he refused, he would not be good today, he was not afraid of life and death, but his granddaughter was the prince's fiancΓ©e, and he turned around and left, and it was his children who suffered in the end.
Mr. Ji suppressed the displeasure in his heart, did not nod, and did not refuse again.
Emperor Chu smiled slightly, knowing that this matter was done.
You have a reading building in Liang, what about the books given by Ji Yuan? I have Ji Yuan, it depends on whether people are important in the hearts of all students, or whether the pile of dead books is important.
Ji Yuan walked out of the palace with a slight bow on his back, and the gray hair on his head seemed to be a little more.
It's a pity that as soon as he released the exact news that Ji Yuan was going to accept apprentices, the academy would be built in a few days, and a wave of rumors spread rapidly in private.
Why did Mr. Ji donate books to Liang Guoyue Library?
Because the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State have all treated him badly!
Because of Emperor Meng's persecution, Mr. Ji had to avoid the trouble of Chu, who knew that the prince of Chu took the opportunity to seduce Mr. Ji's granddaughter.
Originally, the two families should be happy, one is the king, the other is the minister, no matter how bad the Chu Emperor is, he can also learn from Emperor Meng to treat Mr. Ji as before, as long as Mr. Ji is in the Chu State, there are many talents who come here.
But Emperor Chu recruited Mr. Ji to come out, but after Mr. Ji's unprecedented promise, he did not get a heavy responsibility, but was put under the hands of a yellow-haired boy as a deputy envoy.
It is said that Song Jing was only polite to Mr. Ji, but he was sarcastic and reprimanded in private, and even the monarchs and ministers of Liang State couldn't look past him when he arrived in Liang State.
I heard that Lord Lin also had a conflict with Song Jing because of this.
Lord Lin defends him, and the Lin family has an old relationship with Mr. Ji, so he only thought of donating all the books to the Reading Building when he had to dispose of the assets he left in Jiangling.
said it was for the Reading Building, but in fact, the book was for Lord Lin.
This rumor even made it clear where they lived in the Liangdu Post Station, Song Jing lived in the main courtyard, but Mr. Ji lived in a small corner of the post station.
Even Song Jing's warning words for stopping Mr. Ji were clearly transmitted.
One or two people said that there were still doubts, but everyone said so, and the details were described so clearly that it was difficult for the students who were detained to go abroad to believe it.
So, when Emperor Chu and the others finally heard this rumor, this rumor had already blown all over the Chu country like the wind, and he couldn't stop it.
It's really too late for him to hear about it, there's no way, who made him one of the parties involved, no matter what rumors, the parties to the rumors are often the last to know.
Because everyone will avoid them and say it, this time the students spread these words in private, and even subconsciously avoided the elders in the family, who let them be officials in the court?
Therefore, when Emperor Chu heard this rumor from an official, other courtiers also heard about it for the first time, and then the court of Great Chu exploded.
Not to mention the paragraph about Emperor Chu, they care about whether the things about Song Jing snubbing Mr. Ji are true.
Why did Emperor Chu force Mr. Ji to come out and only seal him a deputy envoy?
The ministers knew that to put it bluntly, he just wanted Ji Yuan to be willing to use it for him, so he coerced first and then lured.
It's a pity that the coercion worked, but the temptation failed to make Mr. Ji tempted, so he regained his free body.
But that is the emperor, and when he does this, the ministers don't dare to mention it even if they have opinions, but why do you Song Jing, a child, call Mr. Ji around?
I don't know that before leaving Beijing, we told him to be courteous to Mr. Ji?
