The capital.
On this day, Li Dongyang, as a member of the Shangting Department, was summoned by the emperor.
When he arrived in front of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not let him in. However, Xiao Jing came over and told Li Dongyang the news: "Mr. Li Ge, our family is not talented, and now he is in charge of ceremony." "Prison seal matter."
The matter of Dai Yi's retirement and Xiao Jing's replacement has been officially confirmed.
Li Dongyang asked, "Who will take care of the affairs of Dongchang?"
Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty has not yet decided, but Yang Peng is currently handling it. As you know, this He is very close to Duke Lai."
This is to remind Li Dongyang that you should not regard me as an enemy now, and should be on guard against Yang Peng and Zhang Zhou being linked together.
"In addition, regarding the marriage between your concubine and the Kong family, your majesty has decided after careful consideration. He said that there are many inappropriate things, and he will cancel it on your behalf. He will then talk to the Kong family. About this." Xiao Jing smiled.
This incident is tantamount to the emperor sending a favor to Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang said, "How can I trouble Your Majesty with a little family matter?"
Xiao Jing said, "Since it is Mr. Li Ge's business, it cannot be said to be a trivial matter. Your Majesty has always treated Mr. Li Ge It's very important."
The two waited outside for a while before being summoned.
Xiao Jingli came to Zhu Youtang's side. Chen Kuan and Wei Bin were both there. As for who was the chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, Li Dongyang still didn't know.
But according to the previous ranking, Chen Kuan's status should be above Wei Bin. It depends on who can really get the power of Dongchang.
Li Dongyang is also thinking , it can’t be the treacherous and shameless Yang Peng, right?
Yang Peng’s reputation in the court is very bad, and he is also disliked by traditional civil servants, especially the previous Mancang’er case also involved Yang Peng’s uncle and nephew Regarding this matter, both the DPRK and China were also discussing this. After all, Yang Peng once took orders from Li Guang.
"Mr. Li Ge, this is Bingkuan's military strategy. In the next three or four months, the Ming Dynasty will fight a battle in Liaodong. Before concentrating on using troops in the northwest, it must first eliminate the possible presence in Liaodong. "
Zhu Youtang asked Chen Kuan to hand over the detailed strategic map and strategic plan to Li Dongyang, who would review it.
After Li Dongyang read it, he immediately understood why Zhang Zhou had not shown up recently, not even at the New Year's banquet. It was obviously not that Zhang Zhou was sick, but that Zhang Zhou had gone to lead the army.
Li Dongyang said, "If Liaodong uses troops one after another, it will have a great impact on the people's livelihood. In the past two years, the Jurchen tribes in various parts of Jianzhou Guard have had many conflicts with each other. There is no need for the Ming Dynasty to send troops. This is more likely to waste people and money."
He knows that persuasion is useless.
It can only express its position, which is probably to say that our traditional civil servants do not support the use of troops against the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong.
Zhu Youtang sighed, “Although the dozens of Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou look chaotic, in terms of combat literacy, they are often better thanThe Mongolian cavalry still needs to be brave. They will be a hidden danger in Liaodong sooner or later. If we rely solely on their internal disputes and conflicts to stabilize Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, it will depend on others and not on ourselves. If we do not have the initiative, I cannot rest assured. ”
Li Dongyang said, “Your Majesty should seek more opinions from his officials in the DPRK when it comes to the use of troops.” "
"Wait a minute. "Zhu Youtang said, "If Bingkuan is not too careful about the use of troops, I can ask the officials in the court. However, Bingkuan often has farsightedness than others in the use of troops. I don't want to let him down. His vision was great. ”
This seems to be saying, let’s discuss it after Zhang Zhou loses.
Li Dongyang is also helpless about this.
I’m not afraid that the other party is awesome. , I am afraid that the other party will be highly regarded.
Of course, Zhang Zhou's popularity is based on the complete victory of the planned war, but if there is any surprise in the battle, Li Dongyang understands that the court tradition Civil servants still have a chance.
“Recently, the criticism of Bingkuan in the DPRK has suddenly increased for some reason. "Zhu Youtang said, "I don't want this situation to happen again. You might as well go talk to those people in Li Qing's family and let them think about the future of Ming Dynasty. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youtang asked Wei Bin to send a compiled list to Li Dongyang.
It listed the list of people who had recently participated in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou. , but it didn’t list anything about participating in the impeachment, leaving it to Li Dongyang to guess.
Li Dongyang thought to himself, this is letting me dissolve my marriage with the Kong family, and let me do things right away.
Zhu Youtang said, "I am still very tired recently. I don't know how much time I will have to go to court after the new year. Let's wait and see after the Lantern Festival." I have read all the memorials about persuading me to accept a concubine. I have decided to accept a concubine into the palace, which will probably take place after April or May. "
Li Dongyang also heard about this, and also clearly heard that the emperor's concubine who had not yet entered the palace was pregnant.
"Your Majesty is very respectful. "Li Dongyang advised.
"I understand. "Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Mr. Li Ge should take good care of his health. The entire Ming Dynasty cannot do without Mr. Li Ge. I also need your help. I will send you out of the palace right now. "
The cabinet is on duty.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian learned from Li Dongyang that Zhang Zhou was going to use troops in Liaodong.
Liu Jian said, "This The incident in Liaodong revealed a lot of evil. His Majesty has always praised Zhang Bingkuan's ability to use troops, so why would he take Jianzhou Guard as the next target for using troops?"
Xie Qian asked, "Look, you two, are you? It is possible that Zhang Bingkuan is no longer confident in himself and insists on practicing with soft persimmons."
Li Dongyang shook his head and directly denied Xie Qian's remarks, "Jianzhou Wei has never been a soft persimmon in Liaodong. On the contrary, This is a tough nut to crack. In the past, the Ming Dynasty also wanted to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Jianzhou Guards. However, there were too many internal disputes among the Jurchens in Jianzhou and it was difficult to cure them. Therefore, they always supported certain tribes and annihilated other tribes to complete their governance.reason. ”
“If we have to use a large number of troops to suppress the situation like today, I am afraid that the Jianzhou Jurchens will be united. Their strength in archery, horse riding, and archery may be far superior to the three guards of Duoyan. "
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Binzhi, you have a high regard for those Jurchens in Jianzhou. "
Li Dongyang said, "When I was in the Hanlin Academy, I often consulted the classics about the Liaodong Jurchens, so I knew something about it. ”
Xie Qian asked, “Does Zhang Bingkuan not know this and treat Jianzhou Jurchen as a soft persimmon?”
The general meaning is that even I thank someone. I didn't know that the Jurchens were so awesome. Li Dongyang said that he only found out by reading the classics. Zhang Zhou didn't study hard in a yamen like the Hanlin Academy for a long time. Maybe he really didn't know and regarded the Jurchens as easy to bully.
Li Dongyang didn’t need to answer this time, so Liu Jian shook his head.
“Both sides use troops. "Liu Jiandao, "North Korea will send troops first, and Ming Dynasty will send troops to cooperate. Such a plan shows that Zhang Bingkuan has already estimated the strength of the Jianzhou Guards. Otherwise, he can just send troops directly from the Dingliao guards, so why bother to go to all the troubles."
Xie Qian curiously asked, "Using North Korea to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in sending troops is not the strategy for the two deployments of troops to the Jianzhou Guard during the Chenghua period."
Liu Jiandao, "But the two deployments of troops did not meet expectations. It's all because the Jurchen tribes can advance and retreat as freely as the wind. After those two battles, the Ming Dynasty had given up the idea of completely wiping out the Jianzhou Guards. Since His Majesty came to the throne, it is impossible not to know the Ming Dynasty's stance towards the Jianzhou Guards. He wanted Zhang Bingkuan to eradicate the Jianzhou Guards at once. The idea was probably Zhang Bingkuan's. ”
“I don’t think so. "Li Dongyang said, "Your Majesty seems to be more concerned about the affairs of Ping Liao.
Xie Qian laughed and said, "Both of you have confused me. It's not clear whether His Majesty wants to use troops in Liaodong or Zhang Bingkuan wants to use troops. Why do you still care about this?" It’s better to talk about whether the Ming Dynasty can really defeat Jianzhou Jurchen in this battle. Also, if this matter is not informed to the people in the court in advance, when the result of this battle comes out, will the whole court be in an uproar again?"
Liu Jian looked nonchalant and said, "We have already deployed troops. We only knew about it a few days earlier than our colleagues in the DPRK and China. We don't think our opinions are important. I am afraid that we will go to the Listening Office and Yanwu Hall in the future." The proportion of disputes between the DPRK and China is increasing, and this is what should be guarded against. It would be better to take advantage of Zhang Bingkuan's absence and try his best to find a way to cancel these two yamen that were created out of thin air. "
Li Dongyang seemed to agree, nodding and saying, "This is the best policy. "
Xie Qian asked, "It has been decided. Zhang Bingkuan is often able to win by surprise when using troops outside, and he has won your majesty's trust. How can I cancel it?"
Li Dongyang looked back at Xie Qian and said, " As long as Zhang Bingkuan is not in Beijing, there is no need for the existence of these two yamen, unless someone can skip Zhang Bingkuan and prop up the existing yamen. Is it possible?"
"Impossible. "Xie Qian answered simply.
"That's it. "Li Dongyang's implication is that these two yamen are also namedTo survive, it is enough to prevent Zhang Zhou from returning to the court.
Liu Jian said, "I heard that His Majesty recently summoned Wang Bo'an, who had served in the Weining Sea, back to the capital, saying that he would be given the title of Duke Xinjian."
Obviously. Liu Jian also regarded Wang Shouren as a potential danger.
Li Dongyang seemed very confident and said, "I will go back to find Wang Dehui. Bo'an will not mess up the Chao Gang."
Li Mansion.
Li Dongyang had a busy day. When he returned home, his son Li Zhaoxian was waiting to see him at home early.
"Something's wrong" Li Dongyang looked very tired.
Many things need to be sorted out after the new year, especially the year's budget and other matters. Many yamen in the court are still taking a rest, but as cabinet ministers, they cannot rest for a moment.
Li Zhaoxian smiled and said, "Father, my son's illness seems to be completely cured."
"Cure" Li Dongyang frowned.
He knew very well that Hualiu disease could not be cured. At best, he could recover better. He said recurrence would be mild, but the deterioration would be slower.
Li Zhaoxian said, "I have recently seen a doctor. Some of the marks on my body have gradually disappeared, and I haven't seen any new ones for a long time. I want to start a society in the capital and make friends with students from all over the country." ."
"You"
Li Dongyang wants to say, what kind of tricks do you want to do?
It doesn't matter whether you are good or not, just give me a grandson as soon as possible. That's the point. Now you don't think about renewing the incense of the Li family, you just think about how to get out of here by yourself
Li Zhaoxian said with eager eyes, "So I want to get two hundred taels of silver from my father to complete the study of the society." "Open it."
You're cheating
I want money
Li Dongyang said coldly, "At this time, you should study behind closed doors or go back to the Imperial Academy to continue." After completing your studies, why do you want to do something unrealistic? The so-called club work is almost like a business in the market and is not suitable for you."
"But I have done it before." Li Zhaoxian was puzzled.
Li Dongyang said angrily, "That was because"
Before he finished speaking, what he wanted to say was that he used to think that you were about to die, so he followed your wishes and let you I was happy before I died, but now I know that even if you are not cured, you will die at least for a while, and you still want to get the treatment you received when you were dying
"My father doesn't agree with the use of too much silver. ”
It wasn’t that Li Dongyang was reluctant to part with the two hundred taels of silver, or that he looked down on his son’s management ability, but that he didn’t want his son to ruin the reputation of the Li family.
Li Zhaoxian said, "My father doesn't know. Recently, the spread of Confucian psychology in the capital has been very rapid. Both students from the south and students from the north have joined in the discussion. Many people took advantage of the opportunity. While he opened a society and made friends with scholars, he also began to impart some insights and insights, and even formed a school. I heard that the Lingnan School was even going to come to the capital to challenge the masters of spiritual learning."
"Who?" Li Dongyang frowned.
"Mr. Zhang Zhou Zhang."Li Zhaoxian replied without hesitation.
"Who can you say it again?" Although Li Dongyang usually takes good care of himself, his face is suddenly full of wrinkles.
Li Zhaoxian said, "It was the Duke of Lai who founded the Xinxue. As a result, many schools of thought were formed, which were all based on some of the ideas of the Xinxue. They were also closely related to some traditional Neo-Confucian schools. , especially those who adhere to Zhu Xi's teachings, a heated discussion broke out between the two sides. Now is the time of academic collision in the capital."
Li Dongyang did not take the so-called mind science seriously.
I thought it was just a group of young people having a little fight.
Who would have thought that Xinxue would have such a big effect? What’s more terrible is that it was Zhang Bingkuan’s handiwork.
“Father, you may not know that many people think , Mr. Zhang used the knowledge of the future school, and only someone like him who can see into the future can create such unprecedented academic ideas. I highly respect his theory, so I think"
"Don't think about it"
Li Dongyang almost wanted to pick up the stick and give his son a real-life "teaching lesson."
It is all in vain to say anything. It is true to stop his son's "imagination" quickly.
Li Dongyang said sternly, "No matter what others discuss, you should not come forward. You represent your father. You must have a calm character and do not get involved in any right or wrong. If you cannot comply, As a father, I can only confine you and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Recently, my father is still thinking about taking a concubine for you. You should cultivate your moral character and cultivate your character. When you go out again, you must have someone to follow you to study."
Li Dongyang did not Better ways to discipline your son.
He has too little time, and all he can do now is scare him. Furthermore, he believes that the only way to get his son to stop having those unrealistic ideas is to read more.
This is obviously not what Li Zhaoxian wants.
You are already an adult, and you don’t rely on reading to gain fame. Why do you still have to hold books every day?
Besides, pursuing learning from the heart is also learning. , why does it seem to his father that he is facing an abyss
Li Zhaoxian entered the inner courtyard in disgrace.
But he saw Li Ju waiting for him early. Seeing him come in, Li Ju hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, has father agreed?"
Li Zhaoxian shook his head regretfully and said, "No. "My father told me not to get involved in academic discussions. He also said that I represent the Li family and cannot let others think that our Li family has any narrow ideas about traditional doctrines."
Li Ju comforted him, "Brother, don't be disappointed. If you don't open a club, you can just join someone else's club in the future."
"Little sister, do you understand what I said?" "Li Zhaoxian was like a big child at this time, looking very annoyed, "My father said that I was not allowed to participate in the discussion, so I had to stay at home. My father also asked me to study more."
"That can only be said to be a pity."
Li Jue is still laughing.
The general meaning is that you will be grounded, but I will not.
I went out to join the club on your behalf. Anyway, I am a member of the female stream, so I cannot represent the Li family.
Li Zhaoxian said, "I also learned from my father that your marriage to the Kong family has been cancelled."
"Oh."
Li Jue He nodded without any reaction on his face.
Li Zhaoxian asked confusedly, "Are you happy or sad?"
Li Jue said, "It's nothing, I won't marry this one anyway, and that one, they are all things I have never seen before, right?" They're not familiar with it either. Brother, you don't have to worry about me." "Then you can't go out either," Li Zhaoxian said.
"Why?" Li Jue was not happy when he heard it.
Li Zhaoxian said with a straight face, "You are not married and have no engagement. You are still a member of the Li family. There will be wild bees and butterflies surrounding you outside. What's more, because of your relationship with the Kong family, There will be some people who think that our Li family has done something wrong, and even criticize and attack you. You can’t be blamed.”
Li Jue said, “Brother, you just don’t want others to be kind to you, so you deliberately prevented me from going out. Well, I want to learn more about women’s education and become a female teacher.”
“No need.” Li Zhaoxian said, “In addition to that, you can go and talk to Miss Lin, who is now the Duke of Lai. You can only go out after studying women's studies."
After Lin Yi married Zhang Zhou, she would not have any title as a concubine.
But Zhu Youtang also took this into consideration and gave Lin Yi the status of "ruren". In the Ming Dynasty, this was a title that could only be obtained by the wife or mother of a seventh-rank official.
"As domineering as his father."
Li Jue scolded him as he walked to the inner courtyard.
Li Zhaoxian was still chattering, "A brother is like a father. If I don't imitate my father, who can I imitate?"
After being bored at home for a few days, Li Jue finally met his female husband. arrival.
After getting married, Lin Yi still had the qualifications to enter and exit the palace. This was also authorized by Zhang Zhou, and she went out to continue her "study" for Li Jue.
"Female Sir, what is it like to get married? After you get married, you can only follow the rules and can't even leave the house."
Li Jue was also not serious about listening to the class. She asked Lin Yi, who had relevant experience.
Lin Yi shook her head, as if she didn't understand this. "I can go out, there are no restrictions, but there are people accompanying me when I go in and out. As for other people's houses, I have never been there, so naturally I don't know." "
"That" Li Ju thought for a while and sighed, "it's pretty good. At least it's more enlightened than ours." Please remember to bookmark the latest website and read it for free without anti-theft
