Chapter 39: Ah Jing, do you want a wife?
Chang'an Imperial City.
Liu Heng went to Weiyang Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan to dinner, and the two were chatting casually, Zhang Yan suddenly asked: "Emperor, did you send Dongahou to Shandong again?" ”
Liu Heng replied with some emotion: "Ah Jing is really idle, he has to do something, probably because his uncle's influence is too great, and he wants to prove himself."
Ah Jing and his son are like brothers, and they are also running around for his son's world, he begged his son, but his son really couldn't refuse, so he could only go. ”
Zhang Yan reminded with a hint of reminding: "Emperor, look at the thousands of giant trees on the Longling Ridge, which are used to make palace beams, if they are used as firewood for making fire, it is overkill."
If you look at the bushes and thorns, which are short and hard, they are used to make firewood, but if they are made into beams, they cannot support the building.
This is what the sages said: make the best use of things, and make the best use of them.
Dong'a Hou Jing has the talent of Wenhua, but the emperor has been using him on those evil paths, which is not a good thing for him, and it is not a good thing for the Han Dynasty.
He may want to contribute to your world, but in fact it is not necessary, there are countless people in the world who can be used in this area.
He was already rich and glorious.
The sage said that the gentleman's Ze was beheaded in the fifth generation, and he was only in the second life, and he could still enjoy the remnants of King Luowen, and he didn't need to use his life to gain a future like the rest of the courtiers.
Now I've been running around, tired of traveling, sleeping in the open, if something happens on the way, you regret it too late.
The only son of King Luowen, you should treat him well, or leave him in Chang'an City. ”
Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this, this was the first time he had heard someone say this, and he pondered for a while, "What the queen mother said is reasonable, this is the son's negligence." ”
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Liu Heng directly ordered Luo Jing to return.
Luo Jing didn't care, he traveled to Shandong over the years, and he often encountered such things, and Liu Heng basically had to urge him several times.
After a long time of running, Luo Jing returned to Chang'an City again, he first returned to the mansion to wash up, tidy up his appearance, and then went directly to the palace.
"The last general has seen the prince!"
The captain of the forbidden military academy, who was responsible for protecting Liu Heng's safety, personally came to greet Luo Jing, "Junhou go quickly, you are going to Shandong, Your Majesty really misses you so much, and often asks when you will come back, how can I know?" ”
Luo Jing smiled when he heard this: "It's annoying the general." ”
The two hurriedly walked into the palace, and as soon as Luo Jing entered the main hall, he saw Liu Hengzheng pacing anxiously, and hurriedly said, "Chen Jing greets Your Majesty." ”
Liu Heng walked over and looked at Luo Jing carefully, and when he saw that there was a trace of fatigue on his handsome face, he sighed: "I didn't notice that Ah Jing was so tired, this is my fault, Ah Jing, you will stay in Chang'an City in the future, accompany me, don't go to Shandong again." ”
Luo Jing didn't know what was going on, which made the emperor have such a big change, although he was suspicious, he still nodded and said, "The minister listens to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Heng laughed heartily and said: "Ah Jing, I plan to follow the example of the Luoguo School Palace in the past in Chang'an City, open a school palace, and cultivate talents for my Han Dynasty, and you will serve as the sacrificial wine." ”
As soon as he mentioned the Academy Palace, Luo Jing's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any plans for this Academy?" ”
Liu Heng muttered: "With the increasing number of counties and counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court today, and the increasing population of the world, the number of officials in the imperial court is insufficient now, and a large number of officials are hundreds of students directly from Shandong and other places.
Ah Jing, you know, these students are uneven, and many of them are not loyal enough to the imperial court.
The main purpose of the school palace was to train higher officials for the imperial court, and in the future, to add counties and counties, which could be taken over directly from the imperial court.
And it can also replace the officials of the counties and counties today, and in my opinion, it is beneficial and harmless. ”
Luo Jing agreed: "In the past, when Luoguo ran a school palace, everyone from all over the world came to the palace to give lectures, and sages such as Lao Tzu and Confucius were sanctified in the palace.
At the time of its greatest prosperity, the world's talented people were all from the Luoguo Palace, and within three generations, there was no such grand occasion.
Three generations have established official schools, but most of them are confused with sacrifices and so on, and now His Majesty has established the official school of the Han Dynasty, and the minister thinks that as long as he pays attention to teaching, he can truly achieve the goal of selecting talents for the country, which is the most useful for the Han Dynasty. ”
Liu Heng patted Luo Jing's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is not a trivial matter, the Luo family has a history of learning, and you have experience in this area, you think about it carefully after you go back, write down a charter, and give it to me to see, we will discuss it more later, and we must be perfect, so that the world's talents can enter the palace." ”
When Luo Jing heard this, he immediately wanted to go back to the mansion to conceive of the establishment of the Xue Palace, but he didn't expect Liu Heng to stop him and said with a smile: "Ah Jing, don't worry, I still have a big matter to discuss with you."
You've been crowned last year, but now you haven't even decided on a family affair.
I have written to Zhaocheng to ask Zhaogong's opinion on this matter, and Zhaogong replied that I can choose a wife for you, as long as you agree, report to Zhaocheng, and he will not interfere. ”
Luo Jing is the third generation of Luo's sister-in-law, whether his children are sister-in-law or concubines, they will not have stigma, and Dong'e is the regent of the Han Dynasty and has a special identity, so Luoling gave Luo Jing a lot of space.
As long as the candidate is finally reported to Zhaocheng, in general, he will not interfere.
Luo Jing didn't expect this to be the case, the children of the Luo family have the right to love freely, but they are generally directly selected and sent by the family.
Now Luo Ling has handed over this power to Liu Heng, which makes Luo Jing a little shy, the key is that he hasn't thought about getting married yet, and he has no idea about this at all.
But Liu Heng seemed to see his thoughts, and said directly: "Ah Jing, if you don't get married, I will always worry about you, what should I do if there is no one to take care of you?"
Besides, I have already married, and even have children, but you have a huge Hou Mansion and a lonely one, how can I accept this? ”
Luo Jing didn't have time to think about Liu Heng for a long time, after all, Liu Heng had already written a letter with Luo Ling, which meant that he must have been preparing for a long time, and maybe he might even have decided who to marry.
So he asked directly: "Your Majesty, which noble girl did you choose for your minister?" ”
Liu Heng saw Luo Jing loosen his mouth and said arrogantly: "Which one?" Hundreds! ”
?
Liu Heng saw a bewildered expression on Luo Jing's face that had never appeared before, and laughed and said, "My cousin is so brilliant and graceful, how can I choose?"
I asked the Queen Mother to select dozens of noble daughters in Chang'an City for you, all of whom were women with both appearance and talent, and also selected women from hundreds of families in Shandong.
It is completely in accordance with the criteria for my selection of concubines, and I must choose a woman for Ah Jing who can prosper the family the most and can be in harmony with Ah Jing. ”
Luo Jing was already in a semi-sluggish state, he looked at his cousin, and for the first time felt that this emperor still had such an unobtrusive side.
Giving a courtier the criteria for choosing a concubine to choose a wife is really an unprecedented event.
Liu Heng is very satisfied with Luo Jing's current state, he has been planning this matter for a long time, since Luo Jing was crowned, he sent a letter to Luo Ling and asked about this matter, because he knew that Luo Jing's next generation would not have a holy stigma, and Luo would not be so strict.
And he is the emperor after all, Luo's face will still be given, and the marriage of a sister-in-law will not affect the overall situation.
After getting Luo Ling's consent, Liu Heng found the Queen Mother and the Queen and began to choose a suitable woman for Luo Jing, and the queen faintly revealed the attitude of the palace at the banquet in the harem, that is, all the nobles of the right age in the entire Chang'an City are not allowed to talk about marriage for more than a year, and those who want to marry are not allowed, this is the attitude of the royal family.
In the aristocratic circle, there is news that the emperor wants to choose a concubine to fill the harem, after all, the only man of the right age in the royal family is the emperor himself.
And the emperor should indeed have more concubines, after all, there are too few royal families in the near branch.
Emperor Gao only has one son-in-law of Emperor Xiaohui, and Emperor Xiaohui is even more absolute, and he only has one son of the current emperor.
The current emperor shoulders the heavy responsibility of extending the imperial family, otherwise once there is an accident, the problem of the emperor's order and heir can make the entire Han Dynasty into a pot of porridge.
It's just that these powerful people never dreamed that Liu Heng made such a big move for Luo Jing's marriage.
Liu Heng said with an excited look on his face: "Ah Jing, I have two plans, one is to choose one as a wife, and the other is to marry her sister with a concubine.
The other is not to marry a wife for you, but to make all the noble daughters of all the families as your concubines.
If there is no wife, the noble concubine is a wife, a bowl of water is flat, presumably those people can't say anything, if there is still dissatisfaction, let them come to me, I will scold you back. ”
?
This is the first time Luo Jing has shown this expression today.
Today's emperor is very wrong, how can it be so outrageous?
Luo Jing couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you must be joking, right?" ”
Liu Heng said categorically: "My brother Jing is the first genius of the Han Dynasty, and the talented man is worthy of a beautiful woman, just like that, you listen to me!" ”
