Section 41 Curling up (2)

Wen Yuanheng wore a crimson official robe and a black gauze veil, and entered the Qingliang Hall under the guidance of Huang Shiliang.

In the past three years, he has often been in and out of this place to teach the emperor literature and the art of the emperor, and when he comes back today, he suddenly has a different feeling, maybe it will be difficult for him to come here again in this life.

Wen Yuanheng entered the hall, Li Xu got up from the chair, and the emperor watched the middle-aged man walk into the hall step by step, which reminded Li Xu of the first time he met Wen Yuanheng three years ago.

The first lesson is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Wen Yuanheng said that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was still in infancy, his grandfather Prince Er was killed for raising troops, and he grew up in prison until he was three years old, and then was raised in the palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and when he grew up, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty married his wife Xu, and when the King of Changyi was abolished, he was elected as the emperor by Huo Guang in the name of inheriting Emperor Zhao.

According to Wen Yuanheng, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very tolerant, his beloved wife was poisoned by the Huo family, he endured it until Huo Guang died, and he seized the opportunity to kill the Huo family. Even after the Huo family's rebellion was punished, he also made Huo Guangli the first hero, this is what he can endure.

Wen Yuanheng wanted to say anything about Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Li Xu didn't know it at that time, but from that moment on, he felt very relieved, because there was a predecessor who had proved that as long as you can endure it, as long as you can seize the opportunity, then you can become the final victor.

Today, Li Xu has won half of the way and can sit on top of the Mingtang Palace, while Wen Yuanheng has been degraded to the end of the world.

There is no more ruthless fate than this.

The demotion of Wen Yuanheng to Chaozhou was not in the agreement between Li Xu and Han Gang, Li Xu did not make such a request, it was Han Gang who proposed very intimately in the court to demote Wen Yuanheng to Chaozhou.

Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Wen Yuanheng can be said to be a good teacher to himself, and he earnestly teaches himself the knowledge of the emperor little by little. This kindness Li Xu will remember for a lifetime.

Wen Yuanheng is also an iconic figure promoted by the Queen Mother, and he has jumped from the assassin of remote states and counties to the temporary governor and emperor of Menxia Province, all because of the promotion of the Queen Mother.

If Wen Yuanheng continues to stay in the court, coupled with Wen Minxing's appointment as a servant, this will undoubtedly mislead the people of the world, making them think that the Queen Mother and the Wen Party have not left, and they are still in power and have a lot of influence on the emperor.

"Your Majesty. Wen Yuanheng knelt down, this time Li Xu did not avoid it, he suppressed the guilt in his heart, and watched the once tall teacher lean down and kneel in front of him.

"This is thousands of miles away from Chaozhou, and the teacher should cherish it. ”

"Weichen can save it, I only hope that the emperor will take all the people in the world as the priority, and it is fundamental to nurture the people of Li. ”

Li Xu looked at Wen Yuanheng's bent waist, his heart was sour, and he suddenly stepped forward to help him up from the ground, and he suddenly realized that Wen Yuanheng was so light, and his height was about to catch up with him.

"It's me who I'm sorry for you. This sentence suddenly came out, and the shame in Li Xu's heart was undoubtedly revealed in front of Wen Yuanheng.

"Wechen thought that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early. Wen Yuanheng looked at the students he taught: "It's better to come early than late, and if you come early, Weichen can still go to Mushou Chaozhou......"

"Actually...... Chaozhou is still quite good. As soon as Li Xu spoke, he found that Wen Yuanheng's face was very exciting, and then he realized that he didn't have a brain in his words.

In Li Xu's time, Guangdong was the largest and most dynamic region in the country, with a dense population, many commercial ports, and a very developed manufacturing industry. Now it is a place of terrible miasma. In the entire Lingnan region, only Jiaozhou and Guangzhou have more populations.

Guangzhou, which relies on the Pearl River Delta, has a population of 200,000, and Jiaozhou, which relies on the Red River Delta, has a population of about 100,000. These two places can be regarded as the center of civilization in the entire Lingnan region.

Chaozhou now has a population of more than 20,000, and the Hanjiang River, which flows through the ancient city of Chaozhou in the future, is still called Evil Creek at this time.

"I've heard that in that part of Lingnan, where crops grow twice a year, and water conservancy is built to encourage farming, the population should soon become dense. Li Xu said and began to recall his geographical knowledge, the development of the Lingnan region seems to be in the Ming and Qing dynasties, floods and malaria caused by mosquitoes are major problems that seriously affect the development.

However, Li Xu felt that as long as he was willing to work, he could still do a good job with the superior geographical conditions of Lingnan. Having the kung fu to lead the common people to dig canals and repair water conservancy, and adopt the advanced agricultural technology of the Central Plains, it is much better than writing poems and articles in the government office.

"Sir went to Chaozhou, and he should write to me often, and I will write to him. Li Xu felt that it was a serious waste to keep people like Wen Yuanheng in Chaozhou, and waste was a crime.

"Wechen saved. Wen Yuanheng nodded, and the emperor's statement let him know that Chaozhou was not necessarily the end of his career and life.

The rhythm of the words shifted from the farewell of teachers and students to the question of the monarch and the minister.

"Weichen went to Chaozhou to promote culture and education first, and forbade obscenity. ”

Regarding Wen Yuanheng's view, Li Xu was very supportive.

The foundation of Confucianism is a set of social ethics, which regulates the principles of life and work that a person should adopt in his social life. To promote culture and education and to promote Confucianism was to promote the ideology of the Central Dynasty in remote areas.

This kind of folk religion is not only easy to be used by witches and gods to deceive people, but its religious activities itself is a wasteful behavior, and the material wealth that has been produced with great difficulty is used to build temples and ask gods for divination.

Li Xu hoped that the people of the Yu Dynasty could enjoy material happiness rather than seek spiritual anesthesia.

"Then there is the construction of water conservancy and the cultivation of mulberry hemp. Where there are many Hu merchants in Guangzhou, will trade precious stones, carpets, gold and silver to trade silk and medicinal materials of our dynasty, Chaozhou is close to Guangzhou, there is a convenient transshipment, over time, it will inevitably become the famous capital Dayi. ”

Li Xu nodded, but he was very skeptical of Wen Yuanheng's statement, that is, Chaozhou is close to Guangzhou. Although they are two worlds before, they are still geographically identical. When Li Xu was in college, he had a classmate from Chaozhou, and listening to his hometown dialect was the standard Hokkien dialect, which was the same as watching a puppet show, and if he was really close to Guangzhou, it would be changed to Cantonese dialect.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has one more thing before leaving the court. ”

"Sir, please. Li Xu made a decision in his heart at this time, if Wen Yuanheng had any personal things to ask him to take care of, he would definitely agree.

"In the past, I was afraid of the Uighurs, and I allowed them to build the Dayun Guangming Temple in various places, not only in Baiyujing, but also in Henan, Huainan and even Hebei because of the presence of Uighur merchants. Although the imperial court repeatedly ordered that the people of Li were not allowed to believe in Mani, there were still people who were confused by the demons. Manichaeism is no better than Buddhism, it is tightly organized, and its ancestral court is in Mobei, once the Uighur ancestral court has an order, its religious order is better than the law of the country. Once there is a change in Fengzhou, Weichen is worried that some foolish people will be bewitched by Manichaeism and become elbows and armpits, so he has to guard against it. ”

At this time, is there a cult that puts the law above the law of the country? Li Xu nodded, it seems that he really thinks that the knife of the imperial court is unfavorable.

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely discuss a strategy with Han Xiang and them, there was no way to get used to them before, and now I will definitely not let them bewitch the people anymore. ”

Li Xu has Wen Yuanheng talking about family for a while, Wen Yuanheng plans to take his family to Chaozhou to take office, Li Xu thought about it and asked him to leave his three-year-old son in Baiyujing, he is willing to take care of it, so as not to run thousands of miles to avoid anything happening.

Wen Yuanheng said very simply that he would leave his wife and children in Beijing, and he would not need the emperor to take care of him, and he would take office alone.

Li Xu said that Wen Yuanheng did not need to work for the country alone, he had just released a wave of palace maids recently, which had a great impact on Bai Yujing's wedding market, and now the market is more favorable to the man, and Mr. Wen can ask for a concubine to take to Chaozhou.

In the end, he was rejected by Wen Yuanheng, and he also reminded the emperor that he should pay attention to the young man and not indulge too much in the pleasures of the harem, and now there are many rumors on the market that are unfavorable to the emperor.

Wechen went. Wen Yuanheng finally kowtowed to the emperor again, and this time Li Xu avoided him and bowed to him in return.

It may be a long time before we see this teacher.

As soon as Wen Yuanheng left, Huang Shiliang returned with the pamphlet written by Miao Siyi and handed it over to Li Xu.

Li Xu was silent for a long time after reading it, and then asked Huang Shiliang to take the brazier, throw the booklet in and burn it.
