In the next few days, Ye Wuwu was idle, wandering around Luojing with the three little ones, enjoying the joy of family

But in the court, the pot exploded

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the old man's proposal?" Liu Nian said calmly

The courtiers looked at each other, some of them afraid to answer

On the high platform, Ji Haoyue also frowned slightly

What Liu Nian said, I have to say, is very tempting, and it can even be said to be the best and best solution to the Nanban problem at the moment

However, this argument is somewhat inconsistent with today's Great Zhou

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always advertised the rule of benevolence, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety

Now this move is tantamount to a slap in the face

This matter is a matter of national system, and Ji Haoyue also had to compromise

Liu Nian said lightly: "Your concerns, the old man knows a little bit about them."

"The old man only asks one question"

"My Great Zhou's benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety are to the people of the world? Or is it just for the people of the Great Zhou? ”

Zheng Ying frowned and said, "Naturally, I am a member of the world, and my Da Zhou is also a member of the world."

Liu Nian sneered, "This statement is fallacious"

"I, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are influenced by my Confucian classics, so I can practice the way of benevolence, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety"

"Outside of Kyushu, it is not the place where my Confucianism preaches, why can he practice the way of my Great Zhou benevolence, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety?"

"These tunes deceived the people under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were favored by the emperor, and they learned Confucian classics for many years."

"That's how you read?"

Listening to Liu Nian's reprimand, the courtiers were all silent

If this is just a master, there are countless people who dare to fight him

But when it comes to identity, all the readers present have to go a little back

This is the second person to be canonized by reading in the past thousand years, and he is even more like today's scholars

He is also revered as a great master of Confucianism and a sage of books

Bringing out an identity at random can shut up the readers present

Dazai Zhang Juyuan saw the cold scene, and had to stand up and play a round and said, "What Mr. Shusheng said, the old man also agrees, but my Da Zhou is already stationed in Nanban, and this is the time of tension, if the new law is forcibly implemented"

"I'm afraid of inspiring a civil uprising"

"When the time comes, if Nanban is stimulated to rise up, it will be disadvantageous to my Great Zhou."

Liu Nian sneered, "In the land of Nanban, the people who think that the new law is good are the ones who are worthy of our wooing, do you know, who in the Nanban thinks that my Da Zhou Xinlu is good?" ”

The courtiers were silent again, although these news were not secret, but the language was unknown, and the people present were careless about the changes in Nanban, so they did not know

Liu Nian said coldly, "It's tens of millions of people in the Southern Barbarians"

"My unscrupulous disciple gave me a statistical booklet, and the secretary of the Dali Division entered the Nanban with the army before."

"They found that the land of the Southern Barbarians was highly hierarchical, and the country was ruled by the rule of the patriarch, and the family law was the law of the country."

"The murderer can be exposed by the patriarch just by paying three catties of coarse grain"

"If you have a's wife or daughter, you can marry her"

"In such a wild place, can you also practice benevolence, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety?"

"Have you read the old man's book in vain?"

"Of course, my unscrupulous disciple also told the old man a way, all the courtiers who agree with the king of the Nanban, send people to educate them, when to educate the people of the Nanban like my people of the Great Zhou, when to return to the court"

"What does Your Majesty think?"

When the courtiers heard this, they trembled all over, cursing in their hearts, wondering if they had demolished the ancestral graves of the master and apprentice? So many bad moves from that?!

After walking a small one, I thought I could live in peace, but it turned out to be more difficult to deal with.

The previous one only talked to you about the Fa, but he couldn't reason with himself and others, so he could occasionally gain the upper hand.

Now it's good, here comes a reason, the ancestor of reason...

I can't say it now, I can't beat it, I can't compare it...

"Poof" Ji Haoyue couldn't help laughing when she heard it

coughed lightly and said calmly, "If that's the case, this matter is feasible, but my Great Zhou Renjie can't afford to lose, how can I be outside Kyushu?" ”

"It's better to set up a school in the south of the town, and with Xi Pando's edict, let the young talents of the Nanban come to my Dazhou to learn the Zhou law, implement the Zhou law, and then let the Dali Division send someone to help them build the Dali Division's shelf?"

"Your Majesty is wise," Liu Nian said lightly

"But there's something wrong, Zhennan Pass, you can't call it Zhennan Pass"

Ji Haoyue nodded knowingly, "If that's the case, it really can't be called Zhennan."

"Feng Bao, the proposed decree is to change Zhennan Pass to Annan Pass"

The courtiers saw that the empress had already sat down and decided, and although they were dissatisfied, they still held back and said - Your Majesty is wise

After getting off the court, the important ministers in the front row looked at each other, and walked towards Ji Haoyue's study together

Feng Bao was about to drive away, but Qing Shui quietly shook his head on the side

After a short time, a group of important ministers sat down in the study again

Ji Haoyue didn't raise her head, correcting the recital in front of her

"Anyway, what's the dissatisfaction?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Ying

Zheng Ying was helpless, and said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is still a matter of the Southern Barbarians, I think that since the Lord of the Southern Barbarians is in my Great Zhou, why not give him a piece of land?" ”

"It can also reassure Nanban, instead of continuing to conflict with me."

"Now Your Majesty not only does not allow it, but also wants to implement a new law in Nanban, which... I'm afraid it will exacerbate the conflict."

Ji Haoyue shook her head, "I know what you're worried about."

"Nanban, there is your jade medicinal herb business"

"You're afraid of a conflict and delaying your money, right?"

The people present were suddenly silent

"Don't worry, I didn't pursue your intentions, everyone has to eat, as long as I pay taxes according to the law, no matter how big your business is, I won't ask" Ji Haoyue said calmly

Zheng Ying smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is wise, but... It is indeed inappropriate to exacerbate the contradictions."

"The minister knows that Ye Guogong has a fist, but between countries, they can't be so sharp and confrontational, otherwise both sides will lose."

Ji Haoyue sneered

"Joke! Lord Taifu, the matter of the Southern Barbarians, my Da Zhou is the winner, or a big victory! What do you mean, I still want them to make demands? ”

"If I can beat them once, there will be a second time, a third time."

"Not convinced? I beat him to the ground! ”

"If you still don't accept it! I'll go to Nanban myself! Change the one who wears the seat! ”

"I want to see, who in the Nanban would dare to stab me in the Great Zhou!"

Zheng Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly

Zhang Juyuan said helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's not that we refuse to implement the new law in Nanban, we mean to postpone it."

"After Sipando's death, when the Southern Barbarians are in turmoil, they are implementing new laws, will this be easier for them to accept? I can also have less resistance in the big week"

Ji Haoyue raised her head when she heard this, looked at Zhang Juyuan and said calmly, "What do you mean by Dazai, is it to let me regress?" ”

Zhang Juyuan was speechless

Ji Haoyue said lightly, "Ye Wuwu's original words, fairness is for two people with equal strength, and this is still the case for people, and even more so between countries." There are no concessions between countries."

"We let them in, we let them in"

"Nanban was already in a corner of peace, and now it is even more vigorous, why should I give him back to the Great Zhou Huanghuang Dynasty?"

"Tell him that it is the Great Zhou who supports him, and he is the lord of the Southern Kingdom, otherwise, he is a prisoner of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"You're going to let me give in to a prisoner?"

Zhang Juyuan smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant." ”

Ji Haoyue sneered, "I know what you mean, I'm not afraid to tell you"

"No matter how big your business is, I will protect you, if you don't have my Da Zhou as a backing, do you think your caravan can get out of Savage Mountain?"

"But there's some money you can earn. Some money, if you touch it, you should die."

"Dazai-sama, Sipando's son, how much money did you get?"

"What I see here is 3 million taels, and there are 30 concubines, I don't know how much you received over there?"

Zhang Juyuan's face immediately turned pale

Ji Haoyue chuckled, "Relieved, I don't want to punish you, I want to ask, with this money, do you sleep peacefully?" Your Zhang family's caravan, with your status and status, how much clean money can't you get? Do you have to be confused to receive this money? ”

Zhang Juyuan's face was red and white, and he was speechless

"Go back and ask your good son, ask him, is he the son of the Great Zhou Dazai, or the brother of the Nanban Prince"

"If he can't tell why... Let him report to the Dali Division."

Zhang Juyuan immediately thanked him and said nothing

Ji Haoyue stopped her pen and looked at the courtier in front of her

"You have a big Zhou dedicated mind, but you are used to being comfortable, so you always feel that everyone in the world is like my people of Da Zhou, but if they are all like my people of Da Zhou, how can my Da Zhou have a three-sided beacon?"

"They are enemies and can only be enemies"

"Ye Wuwu is right, only those who follow my Zhou law and practice my Zhou law are my people of Da Zhou"

"The Rest Are Enemies"

"I will never be soft on my enemies."

"Everyone, step aside"

The ministers present, as if granted amnesty, hurried away

Qing Shui brought warm tea at the right time, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Ye Guogong's move is really uplifting..."

Ji Haoyue chuckled: "Is there still a but?" ”

Qing Shui smiled shyly and nodded

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, his original intention was to provoke the contradictions between the people of Nanban and the local clans under the pretext of implementing the Zhou law."

"In the past, their big clans colluded to suppress the people, and now the army and the Dali Division sent by me are the bargaining chips to break this deadlock."

"I don't believe that someone gives them a sunny day, they will choose to close their eyes"

"And if they choose to join, then, it's time for Nanban to shuffle"

Qing Shui suddenly understood, and exclaimed, "I see, is it a test with a new law?" ”

Ji Haoyue shook her head, "It's not a temptation, it's really for implementation"

"But it's also a temptation, a test of those people, whether they can sit still"

...

Zhang Juyuan's mansion

The ministers who had originally left the scene, at this time, there were three or five people in civilian clothes who were sitting with frowns

Zhang Juyuan's face was gloomy, and he drank tea without saying a word

"Lord Zhang... Your Majesty, this is beating me and waiting."

"Heh, what did Your Majesty say? Only those who obey the laws of the Zhou and practice the laws of the Zhou are the people of the Great Zhou, and the rest are all enemies, and they are never soft on the enemy."

"Your Majesty didn't say it was a Nanban."

When Zhang Juyuan heard this, his face softened slightly, and he said astringently, "The old man doesn't know"

"The new law is acceptable to you and me, but the new law is undoubtedly to make me wait to use a knife on myself, just a supervision court that goes straight to heaven has already made it difficult for me to sit still, not to mention that there is a rumor who goes deep into the people."

"Those people are not these imperial historians in the court..."

"They are only accountable to His Majesty... As long as there is a rumor, it will be sent to the Dali Division, if they are allowed to verify, hehehe"

"If this new law is implemented, you will have a flail on your heads."

Everyone present sighed in unison

Outside the door, a request suddenly came

"Master, someone from the palace said that something is passed on, please go and talk about it"

Zhang Juyuan looked stunned and couldn't help but wonder

"You are here for a while, and you must not show your face"

A few people nodded cautiously

Zhang Juyuan left in a hurry

After a while, I saw Feng Bao holding a rattan with verdant greenery, drinking tea slowly

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Feng Bao smiled and said, "Dazai-sama, don't worry, we're just helping Your Majesty deliver a message."

Zhang Juyuan didn't slack off, and said calmly, "I don't know what happened to Manager Feng?" ”

Feng Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty entrusted us with two things, one is to tell Lord Zhang that the rumors make people check, just check." ”

"Second, it's this rattan, Your Majesty means, let Master Zhang educate and educate your son-in-law with his own hands"

"Who told your son-in-law to do something that made His Majesty get angrier and angrier the more he thought about it"

"Your Majesty also said, let us come to your mansion tomorrow to get rattan"

Zhang Juyuan nodded with a pale face

Seeing this, Feng Bao chuckled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't make an order, it's just that you don't like it in your heart, after all, your front feet are angry with Your Majesty, and as soon as you leave the palace, your back feet will sit together." Your Majesty also responds, aren't you adding to Your Majesty's blockage? ”

Zhang Juyuan was in a cold sweat and speechless

Feng Bao patted Zhang Juyuan on the shoulder and said softly, "We also have a few words to say." In fact, Master Zhang can rest assured that His Majesty has no intention of punishing the crime, after all, this matter was personally pressed by His Majesty."

"But we estimate that this is the only time, and it is also for the sake of Lord Zhang's hard work, this is revealed, if Lord Zhang insists on going his own way in the future, the next time he comes, I am afraid it will be Ye Guogong."

Zhang Juyuan trembled, and said astringently, "The old man understands"

Feng Bao nodded in satisfaction and got up to leave

Zhang Juyuan returned to the room in despair

The other four couldn't help but look at him nervously

Zhang Juyuan smiled bitterly, "Don't look at it, we have to make people watch every word and deed."

"The old man just mentioned a rumor envoy, and Feng Bao came to pass a message, saying that the rumor envoy was only responsible for investigation. The old man guessed the meaning of His Majesty's words, I am afraid that it is to check and not punish the crime. It's just saving, and if you don't obey one day, you will sneak out and slaughter..."

"So everybody... It's time to cut the feathers."

Everyone present was silent

"It's time to take sides," Zhang Juyuan sighed

The people present said bitterly: "Do I have a choice?" ”

"Except for being a woman, what other person is not top... Martial arts, talent, means, mind"

"I'm afraid the only weakness is that Ye Wuwu, but the problem is... The one... It's not bad... One of these two people changed the law of the week, and the other pushed the new law... If you want to say that there is no plan, the ghost doesn't believe it, and the old man even suspects that the person invited this yellow robe to add to the body is all planned."

"A drum beat, a charge, heh... It's true... Woowoo"

"Lord Liu, if you want to die, go back to your own mansion and slander casually, don't you do this old man?" Zhang Juyuan covered this person's mouth and said coldly

Liu Jinggan, director of the Du Branch Division, nodded with a smile

Zhang Juyuan immediately let go of his hand a little dejectedly, and sighed, "Cut the feathers first, so as not to make Your Majesty ruthless and summon Ye Wuwu back to Beijing"

"If your hands and feet are not clean, let Dali Si catch the sore feet"

"If any of you gave His Majesty a reason to recall Ye Wuwu, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless."

"The old man also wants to protect himself"

"If he is targeted and doesn't uproot you, he won't be called Ye Wuwu"

"So rat tail juice guys"

Several people looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile

With that, Zhang Juyuan carried the rattan and walked out of the door

"Where is Master Zhang?"

"You are at your own convenience, the old man is going to beat his son," Zhang Juyuan did not reply

The three of them glanced at each other, and their hearts also jumped

"How do I think, that son of my family, I'm afraid he has also been tricked"

"Yes, let's go home and clean up! Ask! ”

"That's right! If His Majesty finds out again, the old man's head will be given away! ”

That night, in the mansion of the lords of Luojing, all the favored sons cried extremely miserably

This is especially true of the Dazai's Mansion

Zhang Juyuan asked while pumping

"Say it or not! Say it or not! You don't say it! ”

On the ground, Zhang Shixiao, who was trapped in a ball and gagged his mouth, and his tears were about to dry up

"Daddy! I'll say whatever you ask! I said! You just let my mouth go! ”
