Chapter 373: Small Provisions
Mandarin Palace.
Zhu Youzhi first inspected Zhu Houzhao's schoolwork, and the progress was still satisfactory to him, and even Zhu Houzhao began to learn to write four books, and under the guidance of the famous teacher, the articles were written in a similar way.
"Father, the son has another good thing, I want you to give you a palm." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Zhu Youzhu frowned.
I just felt that my son was a little serious, and now I want to fix all those kinds of things.
To say that his control over Zhu Houzhao has not been as strong as before, it is also because the concubine who is about to be admitted to the palace is about to give birth to a child for him, as for whether it is a son or a daughter, I don't know, but at least he has the opportunity not to pin all his hopes on Zhu Houzhao alone.
There are more choices, and the focus is scattered, and Zhu Youzhu is not so harsh on Zhu Houzhao.
But Zhu Houzhao has recently taken great pains to get Zhang Zhou back to continue to be a gentleman, but it is also because writing articles is much easier than simply memorizing.
"Bring it to Hongu." Zhu Houzhao greeted, and then Liu Jin took out a thing, handed it to Zhu Houzhao first, and then handed it to Zhu Youji.
Zhu Youzhi took a piece of paper and saw that it was densely packed with words, and the neat font was obviously not written by his son, but seemed to be printed, and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Di Bao." Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Erchen has listed the recent major events in the court, especially the Liaodong Ping Jurchen, as well as the deposed king of Joseon, and their new king is going to the capital of Daming to worship, this is all something to be happy about, and it must be highlighted." Erchen decided to issue 5,000 copies, just around Suncheonfu, and they could be sold at once. ”
"Nonsense!"
When Zhu Youzhu heard this, his brows furrowed, as if he was scolding his son, but his face was not angry.
In this matter, Zhu Youzhu actually has few objections.
Originally, as an emperor, he made such great achievements in military martial arts, but only the ministers of the court and the central government knew, and every time the ministers still sang against him, and every time he had merit, he had to fight with him, saying that he was a laborer and a waste of money, and he was reckless, but now his son wants to make a name for himself as an emperor, and in essence, his son has no bad intentions.
Who doesn't want the world to know about their merits after they have made meritorious deeds?
"Whose idea was this? Bingkuan? Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly, and then glanced at the eunuch who was standing in the East Palace next to him.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Everyone else is in Liaodong, how could it be his idea?" In fact...... It was he who told his sons before, saying that there were people in the people who used this kind of newspaper to slander the court, and the ministers kept it in mind, and in order to promote the merits of his father's rule of the country, it was necessary to put an end to those who spread the tabloid newspaper, and the court would control the distribution of the newspaper, and the son knew that if this kind of matter was presided over by his father, there would definitely be some objections. ”
"On the contrary, it is better to let the sons and daughters carry it out, if it is done, the reputation of the father and the emperor can be demonstrated, and everyone in the world knows the merits of the father. Even if it doesn't work, the father can tell the ministers that this is the prince's young fool and he didn't have a good grasp of proportion...... In short, the sons are all dedicated to their father. ”
Zhu Houzhao's words were sincere.
"I don't know."
Zhu Youzhi scolded on his lips, but for some reason he was still slightly moved in his heart, and there was a sense of "son, you have finally grown up" in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Youzhu turned to look at Liu Jin and the others: "On this matter, have you given any advice to the prince?" ”
"Not yet." Liu Jin replied on behalf of several people.
"Father, if you really think that the ministers are messing around, then the ministers will not issue it, in fact, they can make money, and they can grasp the first-hand information to make a name for their father, and they can also prevent those villains from taking advantage of the topic to play and inform the most important news to the people of the world, so that the people of the world will not be deceived, and the sons really can't think of any harm in this matter. If there are any bad rumors, it is better to clarify them than to let the government go out and post a notice, right? ”
Zhu Houzhao has a vigorous appearance.
"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded directly this time, "Then I will let you try, but it can't be done by you personally, and it will be handed over to people outside the palace, didn't Bingkuan open a bookstore with you?" Let's just issue it under this name. ”
Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Father agreed? There, I'm going to typeset......"
Zhu Youzhu said: "The matter of issuing the Di Bao is profitable for you, but you still don't have to mix it up, you don't have to think about your reputation when you are the prince?" Hum! You're still up to me to take the blame? Prince, you are still young, and there are many things that you still don't understand, and I have been through so many things...... And some of you learn......"
"Yes."
Zhu Houzhao was responding in his mouth, thinking in his heart, and began to pretend to be an old cannon and brag again.
"In a few days, after Bingkuan returns to Beijing, I will occasionally ask him to teach you, and I will also let you discuss academic matters with him, don't let Bingkuan be disappointed in you." Zhu Youzhu thought that Zhang Zhou would return to the capital after half a year, and he had a lot of expectations in his heart.
Zhu Houzhao was pondering again, as the crown prince, that is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, if I am not disappointed in him, it is good, why is he disappointed in me?
He's my dad? Or my grandfather?
……
……
The Di Bao founded by Zhu Houzhao was published.
There is no name, it is simply a newspaper, and it does not use the typesetting of the newspaper that he originally looked like a primary school student copied by hand, but is transcribed by a special person, but the things mentioned by Zhu Houzhao on the model, such as the war situation in Liaodong and Korea, and the stability of the north, are all listed very clearly.
At the same time, he also mentioned the drought that had occurred in the Central Plains in the past year, as well as the relief situation of the imperial court.
Because this is absolutely "official", even a royal newspaper, once it is issued...... Whether it is from the authority or the smooth promotion, it can be said that it has become famous all over the world.
Officials at all levels did not even dare to check it, and the Di Bao initially printed only 1,000 copies with movable type, but it was temporarily increased to 5,000 copies, and the distribution was also extended from Shuntianfu to the surrounding provinces, and the first issue was even printed in Nanjing.
Meanwhile.
Tang Yin also set off from Hanyang City and returned to Daming.
He was accompanied by Liu Ziguang and Cheng Xiyan, the courtiers Liu Ziguang and Cheng Xiyan, who were accompanied by more than a dozen carriages, which were loaded with tributes from Joseon to the Ming Dynasty, as well as gifts to Zhang Zhou, as for Tang Yin and Xu Jing's...... are not listed separately.
Park Yuanzong personally went out of the city to see him off and sent him sixty miles.
"Bo Yin, you should go back earlier, forgot that we also discussed something? It's up to you. Tang Yin said.
What this reminds is that Park Yuanzong copied the Li Kedun family.
Park Yuanzong said with an expectant face: "Before the students left the city, they had already taken the will of the princess and the concubine and went to copy the Li Mansion, and in addition to this, there were people from his faction, some in the name of treason, and some in the name of initiating a disaster to harm Korea. Maybe it's all done now. ”
Tang Yin frowned and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the prestige of Da Ming to support you again before I leave?" ”
Park Wonjong defended: "The students didn't mean that. I just don't want to live up to Mr. Tang's teachings to students. ”
"Alas!" Tang Yin sighed, "Even if you use the prestige of Da Ming, it's nothing, but it's easy for people to think that this is revenge." Li Kedun's power in North Korea is not small, if you arrest him, you will implicate others, I am afraid that those who do things for Yan Shanjun will endanger themselves. ”
"Yes, yes." Park Wonjong responded.
Tang Yin seemed to understand why Park Yuanzong wanted to send himself sixty miles.
The feeling is that he is afraid of being preempted by Li Kedun's people, so he simply comes out with him, but in fact, he still wants to use his Tang Yin's prestige to ensure his status in North Korea.
……
……
Stationed that night, Park Yuanzong did not leave to return to the city.
Instead, he stayed in Tang Yin's barracks, and under the pretext of drinking with Tang Yin, he waited for the results of the liquidation in Hanyang City.
"Park Lingxiang, the Li family has attacked, and has taken down Li Kendun and the men in the family, none of them escaped, and there are hundreds of people from their gates, who have also been arrested, and the people who are stationed at the city gate and the people of the Li family have also been eradicated, and at the same time, the concubine Cishun issued an edict, saying that it exempted all the men of the Li family from all culpability."
When the news came, Park Wonjong was "mixed".
Happily, Li Kedun's party was finally eliminated, but the worry was that he chose to avoid this liquidation, and Concubine Cishun, that is, Li Yi's mother, was too involved in this matter, and also interfered with his liquidation process.
Tang Yin waved his hand to the herald first, and said with a smile: "Bo Yin, it seems that you will have an opponent in the future." ”
Park Yuanzong said: "Mr. is talking about Concubine Cishun?" She...... I could have listened to the government, I ...... Can't match it. After all, the new lord is still young, and there is a precedent for the concubine to participate in politics. ”
Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Are you going to sit still?" ”
"Wait...... Waiting to be killed? Park Wonjong is more sensitive to this word.
Tang Yin said: "You have contributed to the reconciliation between the prince of Jincheng and the concubine, will he liquidate this after he becomes pro-government in the future?" Will he count on his mother in the future, or will he count on you ministers? ”
Park Yuanzong sighed: "But...... It's a bit hard. ”
"It's man-made." Tang Yin almost wanted to say, you go and kill the concubine Cishun, so that you can sit back and relax and become the regent of North Korea.
Little brother, do you just want to be one person under ten thousand people? Have you ever thought about becoming the king of Korea in the future? The conditions are still very tempting! And you can still get the support of Daming, I will be on your side.
Tang Yin reminded again: "After the Lord of Jincheng is canonized as the lord of Korea, he will return to North Korea, and it will be difficult for you to succeed." That's it. ”
"The student understood." Pu Yuanzong said, "The student will gallop back to Hanyang City tonight, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely go to Daming to meet Mr. and meet Lai Guogong." ”
"Go ahead." Tang Yin smiled and got up to see Park Yuanzong leave.
……
……
Park Yuanzong took the envoy back to Hanyang City, and at the same time, Li Yi also heard that Park Yuanzong's forces had eradicated Li Kedun, a member of the old Xun faction.
When Tang Yin went to see him at night, he saw that the young man was sitting there in a daze, and the wine and food in front of him were not moving, obviously he felt very worried about the matter of sending the Ming Dynasty, and seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to return to North Korea alive.
"Maharaja, are you obsessed with your wife's affairs?" Tang Yin sat down and asked with a smile.
Li Yi said: "Tang envoy, do you mean that I will never see my concubine again in the future?" ”
Hearing a young man call his wife "Ai Concubine", Tang Yin still felt very awkward, but he still nodded: "If you want to achieve great things, you must know how to make trade-offs, your marriage with the woman of the Shen family, this was arranged by your brother when he was in power, her family has been destroyed, it is impossible to stay with the new lord to be a concubine, or even a princess." ”
Li Yi burst into tears when he heard this, shook his head and said: "But Concubine Ai is very good to me, she has never bullied me because of family affairs, we have agreed to stay together for a lifetime, why let us separate?" ”
"Huh?" Tang Yin didn't expect Li Yi to be still a "lover".
Tang Yin didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Yi asked, "Envoy, I heard that they exiled Concubine Ai, where is she now?" Will I ever see her again? ”
"I can't." Tang Yin replied very directly, "You will never have the opportunity to see her again in your life." Do you really want the throne of Joseon, or your concubine? You must know that if a big man wants to achieve great things, a woman wants as much as she wants. Even if you are obsessed with this woman, you will have a chance to get her back after you become a politician in the future, but if you do not succeed to the throne, I am afraid that you will still not be able to keep this woman, and you will not have any chance to stay together. ”
Li Yi's expression was gloomy, but he seemed to understand the matter and knew that Tang Yin was right.
"Eat! If you have the strength, you will go to see Lai Guogong and His Majesty Daming again. You can rest assured that you will be able to come back to Daming, because you are the rightful monarch of North Korea. ”
……
……
After Tang Yin finished speaking, he walked out of the camp.
Xu Jing was talking to Liu Gui, and Tang Yin was frowning from a distance.
Xu Jing was originally a prodigal, Tang Yin didn't feel curious, and even in terms of the game world, he himself was better than Xu Jing before, but Liu Gui ...... This kid helped him complete the subversion of the royal power in Hanyang City, and he was brave and good at fighting at that time, but he turned his head and got together with Xu Jing, which surprised Tang Yin.
In Tang Yin's heart, there is an inexplicable respect for the people who have been conditioned by Zhang Zhou.
He believes that Liu Gui is "devaluing himself".
"Uh-huh." Tang Yin walked over.
Xu Jing and Liu Gui hurriedly gave him a salute, also because they were about to return to Daming, and the Ming soldiers in the army were extremely excited.
Tang Yin said: "Don't be happy and sad, we don't have many people on this trip, and the escort is only six or seven hundred, so we can't go wrong before we meet with the people and horses that Anbianhou received." ”
Liu Gui said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little one has already arranged everything, the scouts are twenty miles out of the camp, and they change two shifts to patrol at night. ”
"Hmm."
Tang Yin nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Those women...... Where? ”
Xu Jing was stunned and asked, "Bohu, you?" ”
Tang Yin said: "I'm just asking, after all, this is what Lai Guogong ordered." ”
Xu Jingdao: "The child named Changjin is with Zhang Lushui, and as for the concubine of the Jincheng Lord, she was in the team of slaves and maids, and found a carriage for her alone. I don't understand, you said that the Korean courtiers all made their lords reconcile with the concubine, what are we trying to bring this woman on? It's not very old, and it looks like a child. ”
"North Koreans get married early." Tang Yin said.
"Huh." Xu Jing said with a smile, "I don't think it's the North Koreans who get married early, it's the North Korean royal family who get married early." Unless it is to take this woman to Daming and become a bargaining chip to blackmail the lord of North Korea, it is also difficult. ”
Tang Yin sighed: "I can see that the prince of Jincheng is also a man who values love and righteousness, although he is still young, but he has this sincerity, and he will definitely be able to treat his people well in the future." I think what Lai Guogong meant, give Enda more than hatred, and bring this girl to Liaodong, so that their husband and wife have a chance to reunite again, and they can be regarded as taking care of him. ”
"What's the use?" Xu Jing didn't think that these little feelings and little love had any value in the face of family and country affairs.
Tang Yin said: "Lai Guogong's affairs are rarely criticized, but this time you are doing things properly, I will help you write to Lai Guogong to explain your merits." ”
Xu Jing sighed: "If it weren't for my family, relatives and friends in Daming, I would even want to not leave in North Korea, then Liu Ziguang clearly told me that if I stay, at least I can canonize a court monarch or something, and I will be a minister in North Korea in the future, but I can only rely on people after I go back." It's hard. ”
"No ambition." Tang Yin said.
"You ......"
Xu Jing almost wanted to say, aren't you a lazy person who has only achieved something until today? Started to teach me a lesson?
Which of the two is better than whom?
……
……
Liaodong.
Zhang Zhou had already returned to Shenyang Zhongwei before mid-June.
He went back this time, but also to prepare for returning to the capital, after all, he himself had been out for half a year, and he still felt that he had no worries, but when he came out for a long time, he found that he had taken root in this era, and the women and children at home had become his concern.
Lu Wan came back a few days earlier than Zhang Zhou.
Because the affairs of the march and governance of the Nuer Gandu Division were handed over to Wang Shouren, Lu Wan was also equivalent to "retiring after success", and he officially visited Zhang Zhou this time, wanting to get some benefits from Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou said: "Lu Zhongcheng, you were recommended by me, and I will say it directly." ”
"Master Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Wan is usually very stylish in front of the generals, after all, he is an old oilman in officialdom.
But in front of Zhang Zhou, he showed a respectful attitude like a student.
It's no wonder that he tends to be inflammatory, because he knows that after following Zhang Zhou for a day, it will be difficult for other forces to tolerate him in the future, and he can only follow Zhang Zhou to the dark.
If even Zhang Zhou is not good, then he simply don't want to be an official.
Zhang Zhoudao: "Either you continue to stay in Liaodong and give you about a year to arrange the front in Liaodong and cooperate with Xinjian Bo's use of troops in Liaobei." ”
"Second, just go back to Beijing with me, I will guarantee you a position in the Liubu Lang, enter the martial arts hall for teaching, and cooperate with the troops to the grassland in the future. At that time, it will only be the governor of a border town for you, but at that time, you will serve as a left and right attendant. ”
"The third is to go to Jiangnan and cooperate with the local extermination of the Japanese invaders. And then help me build a ship. ”
Lu Wan asked curiously: "Is the Japanese sea disaster in Jiangnan very serious?" ”
Zhang Zhou sighed: "This is also a precautionary measure. ”
Lu Wan said: "Can you let the lower officials go back and think about it?" ”
"Okay, in six or seven days, I will leave Shenyang, and you can give me an answer then." Zhang Zhou replied with a smile.
