Chapter Ninety-Two: Distant Thinking
He Xi returned home and went to see Princess Anqing first.
Princess Anqing naturally complained. complained about He Xi, who was a father, and had only seen the child a few times in such a long time. Not even as diligent as Zhu Xiongying.
He Xi can only make amends.
However, Princess Anqing was just complaining, and she also knew that something was wrong in the court. He Xi has been very busy during this time. Compared to He Xi has been outside. It is already very happy to be able to see it at any time in Jingshi.
She was already satisfied.
It's just that He Xi has seen the child, the powder is so cute, and some words can't be spoken. He said first: "The prince gave the child a name, and it was called Yuansi. He Yuansi. What do you think? ”
He Xi didn't dare to complain about the prince. But her sister didn't care. Princess Anqing said, "Not how? Feel mediocre. ”
He Xi said: "Do you want to let my father get up?" ”
Princess Anqing shook her head and said, "Forget it." Can my father come up with a good name? In my opinion, he is less bookish and angry than the prince's eldest brother, don't make anything and kill millions of Jiangnan soldiers, this kind of scary words. Let's call it Yuansi. ”
Princess Anqing immediately lowered her head to tease the child and said, "Think far." He Yuansi. ”
What do little ones know? Just knowing that mom plays with him. Happily, he couldn't close his mouth, laughed, and even spitted at it.
Princess Anqing laughed as she picked up the handkerchief and cleaned the saliva from the child's mouth.
Seeing this, He Xi secretly said in his heart: "Stretching out your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife." There are some things that can't be hidden. Just say it. He whispered, "A new appointment from the imperial court has come down. I'm leaving Beijing. ”
This sentence is not loud. But there seemed to be a kind of magic, and Princess Anqing was stunned for a moment. It seems to be frozen in place.
After a long time, Princess Anqing said, "Where to go?" ”
He Xi said: "Nanyang. ”
"Nanyang?" Princess Anqing said loudly; "What to do in Nanyang, what does Nanyang have? How can I send you, no, I'm going to find my father. ”
He Xi said: "Yuan'er, you know. It's not going to work. ”
Anqing was extremely disappointed, and said: "I know that my father will not agree." Because the father and the emperor will not spoil the country's plans because of the love of their children. You won't say yes either. Because you are a big hero, a big hero. Have your own ideas. I want to make a difference. It will not delay major events because of the love of children. ”
He Xi didn't know what to say for a while. What to take to comfort Princess Anqing.
Princess Anqing said in a low tone, "Actually, you shouldn't be so good to me. If you weren't so nice to me, I wouldn't really care too much about your outing. The wives of other families actually came over like this. It's just you, you, you just make me reluctant. ”
"Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis."
He Xi said: "Yuan'er." I -------"
Just when He Xi racked his brains to say something, suddenly a loud baby cried. But the little He Yuansi was dissatisfied, and both of them ignored him.
Princess Anqing immediately hugged He Yuansi.
The communication between the husband and wife was silent in the cry of the child.
------
At night. He Xi slept in the study.
This is also the first time He Xi has slept in the study.
He Xi and Princess Anqing have been husband and wife for the first time in the past few years. Of course, it wasn't Princess Anqing who drove He Xi out. It was Anqing who let He Yuansi, a stinky boy, occupy He Xi's position. He Yuansi has been noisy, and Princess Anqing persuaded He Xi to come over.
It stands to reason that He Xi came to the study, although it is nominally a study, but in terms of facilities, it is not weaker than the bedroom at all. In this case, He Xi can sleep well. It's just that He Xi's mind is full of chaotic thoughts, and he can't sleep at all.
He Xi thought that he was sorry for Princess Anqing, and felt that when the child was only so young, he went to Nanyang, and he didn't even know how long he went, maybe when he came back, the child would already be able to speak. Shame.
I felt that this sudden appointment had broken my plan.
He was also thinking about how to end the affairs in Liaodong. After all, he can not go to Liaodong, but the affairs of Liaodong must also be carried on. It cannot be delayed, because the big wood in Liaodong and Taiwan is the main source of raw materials for the shipbuilding industry in the future.
As for Taiwan, the degree of development is still too low. Although it is relatively close to the coast, the main force still needs Liaodong Damu, not to mention, there is also the idea of transporting grain from the south to the north.
He Xi secretly said in his heart: "Before I leave, I need to see Your Majesty." Discuss this. ”
Just when these countless things come up with a result one by one, or sort out a clue. Suddenly, an inexplicable question surged into He Xi's heart. Why did the prince name the child Yuansi.
The name can't be said badly. But He Xi always felt that something seemed to be ignored by himself.
He Xi seemed to think of something. Immediately put on his clothes, lit the lamp, and found Han Yu's anthology from the shelf. Then read it one by one. I searched for a long time. Finally, in the "Testament to Li Shi with the Young Room", I found the sentence mentioned by the prince: "I must look forward to the examination and think about it from afar," and I also found the sentence after this sentence: "Be sure to be in line with the way of Confucius." ”
He Xi pondered this article repeatedly. Leaning back in his chair, he sighed and said, "It's really troublesome for the ancients to speak. ”
This sentence is the true meaning of the prince.
In line with the way of Confucius.
What is the way of Confucius?
He Xi sneered.
He pondered the four words. I don't know, this is the prince's warning, or exhortation. Or is it the prince's bottom line. However, He Xi knew very well that he would never be able to conform to the way of Confucius. He had thought about it before. But the longer you are immersed in the Ming political arena.
The more he understood something.
Confucius and Mencius said that it was a static and stable ruling system that conformed to ancient Chinese society. In the case of insufficient productive forces in ancient times, only some things could be sacrificed to complete the rule of the world.
But industrial society, no, or modern society. It is a complete and dynamic development system.
It seems that some people think that the ancients changed the law, either so many people died, or there was a party dispute. It was later liquidated. But if you look at the development of modern China in recent decades. It seems to change every year, and every year it changes. And it's getting better and better.
Many people subconsciously feel that there is no big deal in changing the law and reforming. It's just that the ancients couldn't do it.
But they don't know that the ideological systems of the two sides, the production system, and the values are not the same.
In later generations, officials like He Xi who can reform the maladministration of one place and do a better job are the pioneers of reform. But here, it is a toss-up, frivolous, arrogant. And so on negative labels are attached to the body. In a word, it is not mature and stable enough.
This kind of opposition can be felt by He Xi, and Zhu Yuanzhang can also feel it. The prince also feels it now. It's just that the two have different attitudes towards He Xi.
Zhu Yuanzhang is determined to see what the future represented by He Xi looks like. So let He Xi toss. But the prince felt that he needed to remind He Xi that he couldn't let He Xi go down the wrong path.
Maybe this sentence is to mention something.
However, He Xi can't do it after all.
He Xi felt the invisible gap between him and the prince at this moment, and this gap was between the prince and He Xi. It is also between ancient and modern.
He Xi secretly said in his heart: "I really have to think far away." ”
Yes. Zhu Yuanzhang is here, and he is not afraid of anything. But Zhu Yuanzhang only has a lifespan of more than ten years. When Hongwu was thirty-one years old, He Xi was only in his thirties. He still has the rest of his life to live. He's going to have to prepare for that now.
If the crown prince dies early according to history, it will be fine. If the prince really lives longer than Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi will also have to be prepared.
Brother Prince is very good. As a person in the world, there is no place to be sorry for He Xi. However, where the Ming Dynasty should go cannot be decided by the prince. He Xi suddenly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang had said to him before. What is the overall situation of the country and the world?
My overall situation is the overall situation of the world.
This night, the light in He Xi's study was on for a long, long time. Until daylight. Until the golden crow rises in the east. And He Xi didn't close his eyes all night. The spirit seems to be extremely excited.
