Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Youtang first inspected Zhu Houzhao's academic performance, and he was still satisfied with the progress. He even began to learn to write four essays. Under the guidance of famous teachers, the articles he wrote were quite satisfactory.
"Father, I have another good thing that I want you to show me." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Zhu Youtang frowned.
I just felt that my son was a little more serious, and now I have to deal with all kinds of things.
To say that his control over Zhu Houzhao is obviously not as strong as before, it is also because the concubine who is about to be admitted to the palace will soon give birth to a child for him. It is not known whether it will be a son or a daughter. , but at least he has a chance not to pin all his hopes on Zhu Houzhao alone.
With more choices, the focus is scattered, and Zhu Youtang is not so harsh on Zhu Houzhao.
However, Zhu Houzhao has recently taken great pains to get Zhang Zhou to come back and continue to be his teacher, but this is also because writing articles is much easier than simply reciting.
"Bring it to me quickly." Zhu Houzhao greeted, and then Liu Jin took out something and handed it to Zhu Houzhao first, and then Zhu Houzhao handed it to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang took a piece of paper and saw that it was densely packed with words. The neat fonts were obviously not written by his son, but seemed to have been printed on them, and asked "What is it"
"The Dibao." Zhu Houzhao laughed playfully, "I have listed all the recent major events in the court, especially the Jurchen Ping in Liaodong, the king of Korea being deposed, and their new king is coming. It is a joyful thing for the Ming Dynasty to come to the capital to worship, and it must be highlighted. Erchen decided to issue five thousand copies, which can be sold around Shuntian Mansion."
" "Nonsense"
After hearing this, Zhu Youtang frowned, seemingly scolding his son, but his face was not angry.
On this matter, Zhu Youtang actually didn’t have much objection.
As an emperor, only the ministers of the court knew about his great military achievements. Moreover, the ministers always opposed him and competed with him for every credit. , what is it about wasting people and money and going into military warfare? Now the son wants to make a name for himself as the emperor. In fact, the son has no bad intentions.
Who doesn’t want everyone in the world to know about their meritorious deeds?
“Whose idea was this? Bingkuan?” Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly, and then scanned the The eunuch who often serves in the East Palace next to his eyes.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Others are in Liaodong. How could it be his idea? In fact, he told Erchen before that some people among the people used this kind of newspaper to slander the imperial court. Erchen took it to heart." , To promote the merits of my father’s governance, we must put an end to those who spread the Di Bao tabloid, and let the imperial court control the distribution of the Di Bao. If I know that my father is in charge of this matter, there will definitely be opposition. "
"It is better to let the sons and ministers do it. If it succeeds, the father's reputation will be highlighted and the world will be proud of it."Everyone knows about my father's achievements. Even if it fails, the father can tell the ministers that the prince is just fooling around when he is young and does not have a good sense of proportion. In short, the sons and ministers are only dedicated to the father. "
Zhu Houzhao's words were sincere.
"I don't know. "
Zhu Youtang cursed, but for some reason he was still a little moved in his heart. The look in his eyes that looked at Zhu Houzhao also had a meaning of "Son, you have finally grown up."
Zhu Youtang turned to look at Liu Jin and others and said, "Have you given any advice to the prince on this matter?"
"No. "Liu Jin replied on behalf of several people.
"Father, if you really think that I am fooling around, I won't issue it. In fact, you can make money and master the information to make your father famous. , and it can also prevent those villains from taking advantage of the situation and inform the people of the world of the most important news, so that the people of the world will not be deceived. I really can't think of any harm in this matter. If there are any bad rumors, it is better to use this to clarify them than to let the government go out and post notices."
Zhu Houzhao looked plausibly.
"Yes. "Zhu Youtang nodded directly this time, "Then I will let you try it, but you cannot do it yourself and leave it to people outside the palace. Didn't Bingkuan and you open a bookstore together? Let's publish it under this name. Bar. ”
Zhu Houzhao said excitedly, “Father, if you agree, I will do the typesetting right away.”
Zhu Youtang said, “I will make a profit for you if you publish the Di newspaper, but you It's better to get less involved. When you are the prince, you don't have to worry about your reputation. It's up to you to take responsibility for me. Prince, you are still young and there are many things you don't understand yet. I have experienced so many things and you still have to learn. "
"Yes. "
Zhu Houzhao responded, thinking in his heart, and started to brag again.
"In a few days, after Bingkuan returns to Beijing, I will occasionally let him He will come to teach you and will also let you discuss academic matters with him. Don't let Bingkuan disappoint you. "Zhu Youtang 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 thinking again, as the prince, he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and I have no regard for him. It's good to be disappointed. Why should he be disappointed in me?
Is he my father or my grandfather?
The Di Newspaper founded by Zhu Houzhao has not been released yet.
No. The name is simply a Dibao, and it did not use the layout that he originally used to copy the newspaper like a primary school student. Instead, it was transcribed by a special person. Instead, it included the things Zhu Houzhao mentioned on the template, such as the war situation in Liaodong and North Korea, and the North Things about stability everywhere are clearly listed.
At the same time, the drought that occurred in the Central Plains in the past year and the court's disaster relief were also mentioned.
Because this is absolutely true. "Government-run" newspapers, even those run by the royal family, can be said to be famous all over the world once they are published, both in terms of authority and smooth promotion.
All levels of government officials have been investigating. They didn't even dare to check it. Initially, Di Bao only used liveOne thousand copies were printed, but the number was temporarily increased to 5,000. The distribution was also extended from Shuntian Prefecture to surrounding provinces. The first issue was even printed in Nanjing.
At the same time.
Tang Yin also set off from Hanyang City and returned to Daming.
In addition to Li Yi, the king of Jincheng, he was accompanied by his companions Liu Ziguang and Cheng Xiyan. At the same time, he also brought more than a dozen carriages, which contained tributes from North Korea to the Ming Dynasty. As well as gifts to Zhang Zhou, as for Tang Yin and Xu Jing, they are not listed separately.
Pu Yuanzong personally went out of the city to see him off, sixty miles away.
"Bo Yin, you should go back earlier. You forgot that we also discussed one thing and you have to do it all by yourself." Tang Yin said.
What this reminds us is that Pu Yuanzong copied the Li Kedun family.
Pu Yuanzong said expectantly, "Before the students left the city, they had taken the orders of the king and concubine and raided the Li Mansion. In addition, there were also people from his faction, some of whom were treasonous." In the name of initiating disasters to endanger Korea, maybe everything has been done now." Tang Yin frowned and said, "You want to take advantage of Ming's prestige before I leave. I’ll support you again.”
Pu Yuanzong argued, “The student didn’t mean it. He just didn’t want to let down Mr. Tang’s teachings to the students.”
“Oh,” Tang Yin sighed. , "It's okay even if you rely on the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but it is easy for people to think that this is retaliation. Li Kedun's power in North Korea is not small. If you arrest his clan, you will also implicate others." , I am afraid that those who work for Lord Yanshan will be in danger."
"Yes, yes" Pu Yuanzong responded.
Tang Yin seemed to understand why Pu Yuanzong wanted to send him sixty miles away.
Emotionally, he was afraid that Li Kedun's people would strike from behind, so he simply followed him out. In fact, he still wanted to use Tang Yin's power to ensure his position in North Korea, Park Yuanzong.
While stationed that night, Pu Yuanzong did not leave to return to the city.
Instead, he stayed in Tang Yin's military camp, using the excuse of having a farewell drink with Tang Yin to wait for the results of the liquidation in Hanyang City.
"Prime Minister Park, the Li family has already invaded and captured Li Kedun and the male members of the family. No one escaped. In addition, hundreds of their disciples were also captured. The people stationed at the city gate, including the Li family, were also arrested. At the same time, Concubine Cishun issued a decree exonerating all the culprits except the men of the Li family."
The news spread. Come, Park Yuanzong is "mixed joys and sorrows".
The good thing is that Li Kedun's party was finally eliminated, but the bad thing is that he chose to avoid this liquidation, and Concubine Cishun, Li Yi's mother, was involved in this matter. was too involved and interfered with his liquidation process.
Tang Yin first waved his hand to reject the person who was delivering the order, and said with a smile, "Boyin, it seems you will have a rival in the future."
Pu Yuanzong said, "Mr. Cishun Da The concubine is capable of handling politics, but I can't compete with her.Unexpectedly, the new king is still young, and there is ancient precedent for concubines to participate in politics. "
Tang Yin asked with a smile, "Are you just going to sit back and wait for death?"
"Waiting for death" Pu Yuanzong was more sensitive to this word.
Tang Yin said, "You guys It has contributed to the reconciliation between the Prince of Jincheng and Concubine Yuan. Will he settle the matter after he takes charge of the government in the future? Will he count on his mother and concubine, or on you ministers?"
Pu Yuanzong sighed, "But it's a bit difficult. ah. ”
“It depends on man-made things. "Tang Yin almost wanted to say, go and kill 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 inferior to ten thousand people? Have you ever thought that the conditions for becoming the king of Korea in the future are still very tempting? And you can also get the support of Ming Dynasty, I will be on your side.
Tang Yin reminded again, "Wait until Jincheng Da. After the king is crowned the king of Korea, it will be difficult for him to return to Korea. That’s all. ”
“Students understand. Pu Yuanzong said, "The student will gallop back to Hanyang City tonight. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely go to Ming Dynasty to pay homage to Mr. Lai Guogong." "
"Go ahead. "Tang Yin stood up with a smile and sent Pu Yuanzong away.
Pu Yuanzong took the messenger back to Hanyang City. At the same time, Li Yi also heard that Pu Yuanzong's forces had sent Li Kedun, a member of the old Xun sect.
When Tang Yin went to see him at night, he saw the young man sitting there blankly, with the food and wine in front of him untouched. It was obvious that he felt very deeply about his mission to the Ming Dynasty. Worried, and seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to return to North Korea alive.
"My Majesty, are you thinking about your wife?" Tang Yin sat down and asked with a smile.
"Envoy Tang, are you saying that I will never see my concubine again, right?"
Hearing a young man call his wife "concubine," Tang Yin still felt awkward, but he still nodded. "If you want to achieve great things, you must know how to make choices. Your marriage to a girl from the Shen family was arranged by your brother when he was in power. Her family has been destroyed, and it is impossible for her to stay with the new king as a concubine, or even Being a princess.
Li Yi burst into tears when he heard this, shook his head and said, "But my concubine is very good to me. She has never bullied me because of family affairs. We have agreed to stay together for a lifetime, why should we let her do it?" We are separated."
"Well" Tang Yin didn't expect that Li Yi was still a "love type".
Tang Yin didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Yi asked, "Envoy, I heard that they exiled my beloved concubine. Where is she now? Can I still see her again?"
"No. Tang Yin's answer was very direct, "You will never have the chance to see her again in this life." Do you want the throne of North Korea or your beloved concubine? You must know that if a grown man wants to achieve great things, a woman will have as much as she wants. Even if you just can't forget this woman, you will have the opportunity to get her back after you take office in the future. But if you don't succeed to the throne, I'm afraid that this womanYou still can't keep it, and you don't have any chance of staying together. "
Li Yi's expression was gloomy, but he seemed to understand the truth and knew that Tang Yin was right.
"After eating and gaining strength, go to see Duke Lai and His Majesty the Ming Dynasty again. . You can rest assured that if you go to Ming Dynasty, you will definitely come back, because you are the legitimate king of North Korea. ”
After Tang Yin finished speaking, he left the camp.
Xu Jing was chatting happily with Liu Gui, and Tang Yin frowned when he looked at it from a distance.
Xu Jing was originally a Tang Yin was not curious about the prodigal. He was even better than Xu Jing in terms of playing the human world. However, Liu Gui helped him complete the overthrow of the royal power in Hanyang City. At that time, he was considered brave and good at fighting. The result was... He turned around and got together with Xu Jing, which surprised Tang Yin.
In his heart, Tang Yin had an inexplicable respect for the people trained by Zhang Zhou.
< p>He thought Liu Gui was "devaluing himself.""Yeah. "Tang Yin walked over.
Xu Jing and Liu Gui hurriedly saluted him, also because they were about to return to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers in the army were extremely excited.
Tang Yin said, "Don't be too happy to be sad. We don't have many people with us on this trip, and including the escorts, we only have six or seven hundred people. We can't make any mistakes before we meet up with the people supported by Marquis Anbian.
Liu Gui smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I have already arranged everything. The scouts have been out of the camp for twenty miles, and there are two patrols at night. If there is any trouble, we will use artillery and firecrackers." Hello, I deserved it if I made the wrong call"
"Yeah. "
Tang Yin nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Where are those women?"
Xu Jing was startled and asked, "Bohu, you"
Tang Yin said, "I'm just asking, after all, this is what Duke Lai Guo ordered. ”
Xu Jingdao said, “The child named Chang Jin is with Zhang Lushui. As for the concubine Yuan of the Lord of Jincheng, she is with the team of slaves and finds a carriage for her alone. I also don’t understand. You said that the North Korean ministers asked their king to reconcile with Concubine Yuan. Why did we bring this woman with us? She is not very old and she looks like a child. ”
“North Koreans get married early. "Tang Yin said.
"Haha. Xu Jing said with a smile, "I think it's not that North Koreans get married early, but that people from the North Korean royal family get married early." Unless this girl is taken to the Ming Dynasty and used as a bargaining chip to blackmail the leader of North Korea, it will be difficult. "
Tang Yin sighed and said, "I can see that the Lord of Jincheng is also a man who values friendship. Although he is still young, he has this sincerity and will definitely be able to treat his people well in the future. I think Lai Guogong meant that kindness is greater than hatred. He took this girl and sent her to Liaodong so that the couple could have a chance to reunite again, which was considered to be taking care of him. "
"What's the use?" Xu Jing didn't think these little loves had any value in the face of major events in the country.
Tang Yin said, "There is little criticism about Lai Guogong's affairs, but this You did things properly this time, I will write the letter for youGive it to Duke Lai and explain your achievements. ”
Xu Jing sighed and said, “If my family, relatives and friends were not all in the Ming Dynasty, I would have even considered staying in North Korea and not leaving. Then Liu Ziguang made it clear to me that if I stayed, I could at least be canonized as a prince.” From now on, I will be an honorable minister in North Korea, but after I return, I can only rely on others. It's difficult. ”
“No ambition. "Tang Yin said.
"You"
Xu Jing almost wanted to say, you are a lazy person, didn't you just have some achievements today and start to teach me a lesson with a straight face
Which one is better?
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 had only been out for half a year. At first, he felt that he had no worries, but after a long time, he found that he had taken root in this era, and the women and children at home had become his concern. < /p>
Lu Wan came back a few days earlier than Zhang Zhou
Because Nuer Gandusi’s marching and management were all handed over to Wang Shouren, Lu Wan had “retired with success”. , this time he was officially paying a visit to Zhang Zhou, and wanted to get some benefits from Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou said, "Lu Zhongcheng, you were recommended by me, so I will speak frankly. ”
“Master Zhang said it doesn’t matter. "Lu Wan is usually very dignified in front of the generals. After all, he is an experienced official.
But in front of Zhang Zhou, he showed the respectful attitude of a student.
Don’t blame him for following Zhang Zhou’s trend, because he knows that if he follows Zhang Zhou for one day, it will be difficult for other forces to tolerate him in the future, and he will have no choice but to follow Zhang Zhou until the end.
If you can’t even curry favor with Zhang Zhou, then you might as well stop being an official.
Zhang Zhou said, “Either you stay in Liaodong and I’ll give you about a year to arrange the front lines in Liaodong and cooperate with him. Xin Xinbo's use of troops in northern Liaoning. "
"Second, follow me back to the capital. I will guarantee you a position as a doctor in the Sixth Division, and you will be trained in the Yanwu Hall, and we will cooperate with you in sending troops to the grasslands in the future. At that time, most of them will only place you as the governor of a border town, but you will also serve as the assistant minister. "
"The third is to go to Jiangnan and cooperate with the local government to exterminate Japanese pirates. Then help me build a boat. "
Lu Wan asked curiously, "Is the Japanese pirate sea trouble in the south of the Yangtze River serious?"
Zhang Zhou sighed and said, "This is also a precautionary measure." "
Lu Wandao, "Can you let me go back and think about it?"
"Okay, I will leave Shenyang in six or seven days, and you can give me an answer then. Can. "Zhang Zhou replied with a smile. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website can be read for free without anti-theft
