Chapter 191 The Empress Marriage! I think Xu Shouren is good! Peng
Confucian poison plan!
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
on the street.
Xu Qingxiao walked towards the official department.
Xu Qingxiao stopped thinking about what Peng Ru was thinking for the time being.
Because there is no need for the moment.
Instead of guessing what Peng Ru would do against him, it would be better to determine the situation in Wei.
Stabilizing the development of Wei is his top priority.
No matter how Peng Ru targets himself.
It still doesn't affect me, it's nothing more than an infamy among scholars all over the world.
Is this not the first time that I have suffered this kind of infamy?
It doesn't matter how much people in the world insult you. As long as the Wei Dynasty is strong, then let them insult you no matter how much you want.
Once the Wei Dynasty truly unified the world.
It’s not like Xu didn’t dare to do it by burning books and humiliating Confucians.
Of course, just think about this idea for yourself. You can't say this nonsense. If you say this nonsense, you will basically lose half of your reputation.
The Empress of Wei might not even be able to protect herself.
So don't talk nonsense, just think about it in your heart.
If you have come this far, don't blame yourself.
Put aside distracting thoughts.
Xu Qingxiao came to the official department.
Six ministers are waiting for him in the minister's room.
With someone leading the way.
Soon, Xu Qingxiao came to the room.
The six ministers were sitting on the left and right, and Chen Zhengru was sitting on his own chair. Everyone was relatively quiet, thinking about something.
With the arrival of Xu Qingxiao, all the ministers spoke one after another.
"Shouren, you are finally here."
"Shouren, we have been waiting for you."
Gu Yan and Zhang Jing were the first to speak, and what they said was true. Everyone had been waiting here for Xu Qingxiao, and there was no communication between them. All they had in their minds were Xu Qingxiao's five plans.
Now that Xu Qingxiao is here, the six ministers are naturally a little excited.
"Dear ministers, Qingxiao is late."
Xu Qingxiao apologized.
Chen Zhengru waved his hand and said.
"It doesn't matter."
"Shouren, I won't say much more. Let me listen to you first. If you have any questions, I will ask you."
Chen Zhengru stopped everyone from speaking and listened to Xu Qingxiao first.
"Yes." Xu Qingxiao said directly while looking at the six ministers without being pretentious.
"Dear ministers."
"In fact, I have already written down the general content in the policy statement."
"Now, the Wei Dynasty has gone through this battle and its national prestige has been raised. It suppressed foreign countries in one fell swoop. Not only did it gain countless spoils, it also made the Wei treasury full."
"What's more important is that it solves the problem of foreign countries."
"And it also suppressed the eagerness of the vassal kings everywhere. It was considered as killing three birds with one stone."
"But for the Wei Dynasty, achieving this level is far from enough. If the Wei Dynasty wants to prosper, it is impossible to make money through war. It must rely on its own abilities."
"That's why Xu formulated these five plans."
Xu Qingxiao said this.
The six ministers nodded one after another.
Indeed, if a dynasty wants to develop, how can it make a fortune by fighting wars? It must have enough troops to fight wars. It seems that it is getting rich, but it is nothing more than exchanging lives for money. If it makes more money, it is not a loss.
But if you make less, you will lose blood.
This time, Da Wei made money, and a lot of money, but this situation cannot be replicated.
Why are foreign countries so rich? There are two big reasons. One is that after hundreds of years of development, it is normal for the treasury to have money. It is even normal that the Tang treasury is richer than the Wei treasury.
The expenditure of a small country is not large, and the money in the national treasury has been saved for hundreds of years to achieve such a large amount, which is equivalent to harvesting a wave of leeks in advance.
Coupled with the various aids from the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty, including grain, grass, weapons, silver taels, etc., the Wei Dynasty received three million taels of silver this time. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, up to two hundred
Ten thousand taels.
And it’s still the most.
Relying on this is equivalent to making a lot of money and promoting national development, but it is almost impossible to promote national development in the long term.
Agricultural production, military development, infrastructure and industrial development, educational development, including medical development, and people's welfare development.
Excuse me, which one doesn’t cost money? If you invest three million taels, Wei will definitely be able to bear it within three years, but what about three years later?
Can you bear it? This does not include pensions, official benefits and other things.
Is it not easy for the Wei Dynasty to spend money?
The two great Wei dynasties can eat up to 30 million, as long as you want to develop.
Therefore, if you want to embark on the road to prosperity, you must be self-reliant and colonize foreign countries.
"Shouren, please continue."
Chen Zhengru opened his mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao to continue speaking. They listened carefully.
"kindness."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and then continued.
"Let's start with the staff department first."
"Among the five goals, the most important is talent selection."
"Chen Shangshu, Xu believes that the Wei Dynasty should establish a Gathering Hall and increase a large number of manpower to be responsible for inspecting and reviewing outstanding talents from all over the country."
Xu Qingxiao spoke. This was his first step. He started working around the officials. If he wanted to develop the Wei Dynasty, he must have talents. Without talents to command, there would be too much.
But as soon as he said this, Chen Zhengru couldn't help but speak.
"The Great Wei Dynasty had imperial examinations and virtuous examination halls. That should be enough, right?"
It's not that Chen Zhengru disagreed with Xu Qingxiao's idea, but he believed that the Wei Dynasty had imperial examinations and the Juxian Hall, which should be able to solve the need for talents.
Ke Xu Qingxiao shook her head and said.
"Chen Shangshu, you still don't understand what I mean."
"Xu wants to recruit talented people from all over the world. There are no conditions, just that the person is talented."
"It's talent, not talent. It doesn't matter whether this person has read a book or not, and it doesn't matter how old he is. Even if he is sixty years old, if he is very knowledgeable about farming, then he can be recruited."
"Studying farmland, for example, how to turn wasteland into fertile land faster, and how to grow rice better."
"Not only in agriculture, but also in the Ministry of Industry, stargazing, and instigating rebellion. In short, as long as you are talented and talented, no matter who you are or where you come from, you can enter Juxian Hall."
"The Juxian Pavilion will conduct an examination and review. After it is confirmed, an official position can be established. Just like the officials and merchants of the Wei Dynasty, a new official path can be opened. The difference is that the same salary and salary will be given."
Xu Qingxiao explained the purpose of Juxian Pavilion.
At that moment, all six ministers understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.
"Gather the talents of the world, let them be talented, and use their abilities. What a good, good, good, good gathering hall."
Chen Zhengru fully understood that Xu Qingxiao wanted talented people from all walks of life. From this aspect, he could also suppress the influence of scholars.
Why do everyone work so hard to study? Ninety-nine percent of the people do it because studying can help them become officials and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
And as soon as Xu Qingxiao's Gathering Hall of Talents came out, all the capable people in the world came to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, so those who were good at agriculture could study agriculture diligently, and those who were good at craftsmanship could study craftsmanship diligently.
Whether it is effective or not is one thing. For the Wei Dynasty, it is nothing more than distributing silver based on official salaries.
There may have been some pressure on the former Wei Dynasty, but for the current Wei Dynasty, you are still worried that you won't be able to spend all the three million taels of silver?
Now that Chen Zhengru understands.
Xu Qingxiao said directly without talking nonsense.
"You, Chen Shangshu, will personally handle this matter and build the Juxian Pavilion. His Majesty will draw up an edict, which will be issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and published in the Wei Dynasty newspapers."
"We must gather millions of talented people within a year, and then they will all take up their duties and show their talents in different fields. At the same time, we will set up performance inspections. If there are no useful people, we will not need any.
Talented people, regardless of gender, age or family background."
Xu Qingxiao said in a very determined tone.
When the six ministers heard this, they couldn't help but clicked their tongues.
Even women use it? This is a bit unprecedented.
But looking at Xu Qingxiao's determined gaze, the six ministers said nothing.
"You keep talking."
Chen Zhengru spoke.
Xu Qingxiao immediately looked at Zhou Yandao, the Minister of War.
"After gathering talents, the second step is the matter of the Ministry of War."
"In this battle, all soldiers will be given five times the pension, and at the same time, the rewards for the three armies will be unambiguous, in order to uphold the morale of the Wei army."
"Then, the Qilin Army, the Emperor's Army, and the Xuanwu Army improved the food and accommodation environment, allocated funds to build military training venues for various military camps, conducted high-intensity training, and expanded the Wei army to two camps."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to decree that for those who have joined the army for three generations, their descendants will be given priority in admission when they study and enter the court. When soldiers retire, they will enjoy various preferential treatment. The education expenses of their descendants for the third generation will be funded by the Wei Dynasty until they reach the age of sixteen."
Xu Qingxiao said, for the Ministry of War, improving the soldiers' food and accommodation, while strengthening training is a basic improvement, while expanding the army is an external improvement.
The five major military camps of the Wei Dynasty were the Emperor's Army, the Qilin Army, the Dahuang Army, the Xuanwu Army, and the Beiliang Army.
The five military camps are the foundation of the Wei Dynasty.
But among them, the Great Wilderness Army and the Northern Liang Army did not belong to the Empress. Even the Xuanwu Army was obtained by the Empress through some costs and methods.
When the empress ascended the throne, she had the emperor's weapon talisman in her hands.
The Qilin Army came because Prince Huaining took the initiative to hand it over.
As for the Xuanwu Army, I don't know.
The Great Wilderness Army has already handed over half of it, and whether to hand over the remaining half is the deal between the empress and the master of the Xuanwu Talisman.
With better luck, if you master the Xuanwu Army, then there will only be one Beiliang Army left.
Regardless of whether the Beiliang army was willing to surrender to the imperial court or not, Xu Qingxiao needed to expand the army and increase the number of troops, and then expand the two armies.
The number of people is based on the standards of the other five battalions, one million per battalion.
In this way, it is equivalent to increasing the bargaining chip for the empress.
The Wei treasury has four million taels of silver. Isn't it funny that it doesn't use it to expand the military camp?
As soon as he said this, the six ministers were instantly shocked.
They can understand the expansion of the army and increase the manpower.
But improving food and accommodation, and having three generations of soldiers serving as soldiers, and three generations of children and grandchildren going to school funded by the Wei Dynasty, is this a bit too scary, right?
How much money will this cost?
If this thing is revealed, two million soldiers can be recruited at will.
However, before Zhou Yan, Minister of War, said anything, Gu Yan's voice couldn't help but rang out.
"This budget is a bit large. One million people spend 10 million taels of silver a year on the military. This is the basic military expenditure. However, if we want to improve food, accommodation, etc., a million troops will need at least 50 million taels of silver a year.
"
"Two million means ten million taels of silver, and this is just the new army."
"The Emperor's Army, the Qilin Army, and the Xuanwu Army, these three armies must also be improved accordingly. It is impossible to only take care of the new recruits and not the veterans."
"In this case, the military expenditure is close to 30 million taels a year. This is a bit too much, right?"
Gu Yan frowned. It wasn't that he disagreed with Xu Qingxiao, but that the military expenditure was close to 30 million taels a year. He could afford it now because there were 4 million taels of silver in the two countries' treasury.
But the Wei Dynasty needs to spend money everywhere. We can't just look at this year or two, but also look at it twenty years later, thirty years later, or even fifty years later.
If the Wei Dynasty was out of money at that time, it would be extremely easy to cause a mutiny if it reduced its army, reduced food and other benefits.
At this moment, even the Minister of War, Zhou Yan, could not help but speak.
"Indeed, if this is the case, the cost will be too high."
Expanding the military is a good thing.
Zhou Yan will definitely agree.
But the problem is that there are some problems with expanding the strength of two battalions. They don't have the confidence.
Xu Qingxiao just shook her head and said.
"The foundation of a country lies in its military strength. If we want to develop stably in the future, we must strengthen the military strength of the Wei Dynasty."
"And I have other plans for these two military camps, which are divided into three-year system, five-year system, ten-year system and lifelong system."
"Everyone in the Wei Dynasty can join the army between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five. They only need to train for three years to strengthen their body and understand simple military operations such as forming formations."
"After the three-year system, if you are willing to stay, you will be admitted to the five-year system. If you stay for another two years, you can be promoted to the ten-year system if you wish. You will be promoted to a higher position in the army, and you will be able to guide and teach new recruits."
"After the ten-year period expires, if you take 30% of it, you can be given a lifelong tenure, join the Ministry of War, and be awarded a military position."
"The remaining 70% can go to various county offices in the Wei Dynasty, or find a way to survive on their own. Therefore, the three generations of the army need to be selected through deletion, rather than being accepted as they want."
Xu Qingxiao told the army plan.
It would definitely be stressful to increase troops in one go, but raising troops was Xu Qingxiao's purpose.
The advantage of raising troops is that at the critical moment, when the Wei Dynasty actually declares war, all the people can be mobilized in a short period of time.
This was Da Wei's trump card to reach the final step.
If this is the case, the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty really don't dare to jump around.
After Xu Qingxiao explained this, everyone relaxed a little. In this case, there is really no problem.
Although the cost still increased, at least the later cost did not increase too much.
After all, once Xu Qingxiao's conditions for joining the army were revealed, how many people would join the army? He had no hope of progress, but future generations couldn't tell.
After receiving the approval, Xu Qingxiao looked at Li Yanlong, Minister of Industry.
"Expanding the army and adding more troops are just the simplest means. The real means lies with the Ministry of Industry."
"The combination of weapons and industry is the real way to go. Zhou Shangshu and Li Shangshu, I plan to set up a separate military engineering battalion to recruit talents from the Juxian Pavilion to develop war weapons that can defeat a hundred enemies."
"Of course, this thing is just an idea at the moment. Xu will bring the drawings, so I won't talk about that for now."
"The Ordnance Engineering Battalion is where the Ministry of Industry builds stronger weapons and stronger armor for the soldiers, and develops stronger siege engines, city defenders, and even large grain transporters."
"This is the real development of the Ministry of War in the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is also one of the core developments of the Ministry of Industry in the Great Wei Dynasty. Half of the energy of the Ministry of Works is focused on the Ministry of War, and the remaining half is dedicated to building Tiangong Pavilion to attract talents from all over the country and study industrial tools."
"As long as war weapons for the Ministry of War and farming tools for people's livelihood can be convenient for the people and beneficial to the Wei Dynasty, if they are developed, high-ranking officials will be rewarded with generous salaries, and the Wei Dynasty will buy them at a sky-high price of taels of silver, starting with at least 10,000 taels of silver."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
With the official department as the main body, a Juxian Hall was established.
Then the Ministry of War strengthened the country, the Ministry of Industry developed war weapons, and then established the Tiangong Pavilion. To put it bluntly, it was about inventions. Anything could be invented, as long as it was something that could be convenient for the people.
This kind of thing may produce a lot of weird things in the early stage, which have no effect, but the important thing is that it can inspire others. Maybe a wheel can be made, and someone will think of making a four-wheeled vehicle.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, everything is actually evolving and evolving over time.
When people feel that walking is tiring, someone will invent transportation tools, from bicycles at the beginning to four-wheelers later. It relies not only on technology, but also on imagination.
If we don't cultivate a group of such people, how difficult would it be for Wei to truly move into the semi-industrial era?
Just by yourself?
It's better to take a shower and sleep.
Xu Qingxiao's idea was not as simple as unifying Zhongzhou. He wanted Wei's cavalry to sweep across the world.
Tuxie cavalry? King on horseback?
Early Yuan Dynasty? Easy to defend but difficult to attack?
Immortal Buddha? Sword Immortal Buddha?
When weapons of war appear, everything will become very beautiful.
To achieve this level, the Wei Dynasty must develop, which requires extremely strong productivity, and this productivity is useless if it is cultivated by manpower alone.
Seeds, environment, water sources, and tools are all indispensable. None of them can support the Wei Dynasty.
Of course, if the Wei Dynasty simply wanted to return to its heyday, then Xu Qingxiao didn't say so.
"Select talents with officials, strengthen the country with the Ministry of War, assist with the Ministry of Works, and create creation with the help of heaven."
"I finally understand what you mean, Shouren."
"But what do our Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Husbandry, and Ministry of Rites do?"
Zhang Jing finally understood what Xu Qingxiao meant this time, but suddenly, he found that his Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Household Affairs, and Ministry of Rites seemed to have no effect.
"Zhang Shangshu, the Ministry of Punishment has strengthened its manpower to crack down on crime and eliminate evil, and improve the public opinion of the Wei Dynasty. Since your Majesty came to the throne, there have been reports of demons in the Wei Dynasty. However, Xu believes that demons are inherent, but they dare not come out to do evil."
"Most of them are caused by people. We must eradicate evil, starting from villages and towns. Once discovered, we will punish them severely. We will establish supervisors from the Ministry of Punishment and send special officials to all prefectures and counties to go among the people and inspect and arrest them."
"If there is an official to protect you, the crime will be increased and your head will be beheaded in public."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
The Wei Dynasty now needs reform, and the best way to reform is to eliminate evil for the people. Once the evil is eliminated, the people can truly build their homes without worries.
The function of the Ministry of Punishment is to stabilize the stability of the dynasty, strengthen public opinion, and enhance the credibility of the Wei Dynasty.
This can only be achieved by relying on the Ministry of Punishment.
Hearing this, Zhang Jing nodded. He could see that Xu Qingxiao was extremely serious and planned to do something big.
Finally, Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.
"There are also rumors, especially among scholars. If there are any rumors in the future, whether they have a certain impact on the Wei Dynasty or a certain person, they will be censored."
"If the matter is true, the official will issue an announcement to deal with it."
"If the situation is not true, those who spread rumors will be punished. If there are scholars who spread rumors and cause trouble, they will be stripped of their honors and will not be employed as officials for life."
As soon as Xu Qingxiao said this, everyone immediately understood what it meant.
This is aimed at the scholars of Wei Dynasty.
But no one had any objections to this and all agreed.
"Where is Tobe?"
Gu Yan spoke up and asked Xu Qingxiao.
"The Ministry of Households is in charge of business, Gu Shangshu, you have to handle the affairs of the Wei Chamber of Commerce and let the merchants of the Wei Dynasty be sent to foreign countries, including the Tuxie Dynasty."
"Promote economic development among countries, especially foreign countries."
"At all costs, whether it is funding the merchants of the Wei Dynasty or blackmailing the merchants of the Wei Dynasty, let them seize the foreign market at a low price first, ranging from firewood, rice, oil and salt, to the big clothes and jewelry, we will do it cheaply if we can, and we will sell it at a loss if we can't.
.”
"First give the foreign country a sweet spot and dominate the trade market, and then let them set the price on their own, not too high, but definitely not low, so as to earn the foreign country's silver."
"Wait until these merchants have tasted the sweetness, and then attack them. No matter what, all the sacrifices are for Wei."
Xu Qingxiao spoke out, Gu Yan must be informed about this matter.
Take control of the Wei Chamber of Commerce and let them go to foreign countries to do business. With the protection of Wei soldiers, they don't need to worry about their own safety. Once they go there, they will just lower the price to death.
As long as they succeed in seizing the market and squeezing all the business people in foreign countries out of business, they will have the final say on everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing and jewelry.
And Dawei just needs to control it, and it can't be too outrageous, otherwise it won't be worth the loss if it can't be sold.
To suck blood, you have to suck it slowly.
If you suck it dry in one breath, the person will be gone. It's best to take your time.
The water flows slowly.
And when the merchants make enough, the taxation can be changed. In short, everyone makes money together, but the Wei Dynasty must make the most. If the banker makes less, then what kind of banker is it?
Xu Qingxiao's plan suddenly made Gu Yan's eyes light up.
Even several other ministers immediately understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.
Making money is second, the important thing is to control the lifeblood of other countries.
This move is really high.
Tall and hard.
"What about the Ministry of Rites? What does the Ministry of Rites do? Shouren."
Wang Xinzhi spoke, the five departments had something to do, what should he do next?
Once you say this.
All the ministers were also curious.
Xu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment.
Well, it seems like the Ministry of Rites really doesn’t have anything to do.
Xu Qingxiao's silence.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Wang Xinzhi didn't react at first, but when he saw Xu Qingxiao didn't speak for a long time, Wang Xinzhi was suddenly stunned.
Good guy, are you not taking our Ministry of Etiquette seriously?
"Shou Ren."
Wang Xinzhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Xu Qingxiao interrupted immediately.
"Sir Wang, there is a major event in the Ministry of Rites. This major event has a great impact and will be famous throughout the ages. However, we cannot talk about it now, or it may be useless to talk about it."
"But this matter must be handled by the Ministry of Rites."
Xu Qingxiao said, he did not deceive Wang Xinzhi, because this matter is nine years of compulsory education.
It's just that we really can't talk about it, and it means nothing if we talk about it, because it's impossible to realize, at least it's impossible to realize now.
If he really wanted to do it, Gu Yan would probably not agree directly, and the other four ministers would not agree.
Right now I just want to give Wang Xinzhi some comfort.
"Is this true?"
Wang Xinzhi was a little excited.
"nature."
Xu Qingxiao said with determination.
"Okay, I believe in you, Shouren. Anyway, if you need anything from the Ministry of Rites, just ask."
Seeing Xu Qingxiao's determination, Wang Xinzhi smiled.
The other ministers also laughed.
It didn't mean anything else, they felt inexplicably that Xu Qingxiao was just deceiving Wang Xinzhi.
"In this case, the remaining matters will be negotiated slowly by the ministers, and I will go back to rest."
"I've been exhausted this month. The canonization hall will be in a few days. I have to go back and rest for a few days."
Now that the matter has been explained clearly, the rest is for the six ministers to do by themselves. It is impossible for them to do it all by themselves, right?
"Okay, Shouren, you have a good rest. You need to be full of energy in the canonization hall."
"This conferment into the main hall is extremely grand. Your Majesty thinks highly of you and specifically requested that it be more grand. You really need to have a good rest."
"Well, Shouren, you go back and have a good rest."
"Shouren, let me take you out."
All the ministers said one after another, it is true that in a few days the canonization ceremony will be held, and they should have a good rest.
However, Chen Zhengru suddenly said that he wanted to send Xu Qingxiao back.
Normally, he would have declined politely, but Xu Qingxiao could tell that Chen Zhengru had something to say to him.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao didn't say much.
At that moment, Chen Zhengru took Xu Qingxiao out of the minister's study room.
Keep walking outside the official department.
Only then did Chen Zhengru's voice sound.
"Shouren, I've been feeling a little uneasy these past few days."
"Peng Ru was imprisoned, but there has been no movement for a long time. Based on my understanding of him, Peng Ru will never give up."
"You must be vigilant."
After walking out of the staff department, Xu Qingxiao guessed what Chen Zhengru was about to say.
Peng Ru was imprisoned by Chen Zhengru himself. Everyone could forget Peng Ru's existence, but Chen Zhengru would not.
Now that the war is over, Xu Qingxiao is about to be conferred the title of Pingluohou of the Great Wei Dynasty. Everything seems to be wonderful, but Chen Zhengru can feel that an extremely terrifying wave may be coming.
"Well, Qingxiao understands."
Xu Qingxiao answered, the empress had already told herself this.
"Shouren, after much thought, I have found that Peng Ru's only method against you is to take advantage of the situation. He will definitely use the situation to suppress you. Now you have a very high reputation and the support of the people of the Wei Dynasty."
"So if I want to criticize you, I have to rely on the power of scholars all over the world. But I never imagined that even if he really takes advantage of the power and kills the city to attack you, it will have no effect."
"It will have a certain impact on your reputation. But at the moment, you are right to massacre the city. The people of Wei support you. At most, it will make people who already hate you hate you even more."
"It won't affect anything."
"According to my opinion, Peng Ru would not use such a simple method to target you. He must have a back-up plan."
"You really have to be careful. If you have nothing to think about these days, if you can guess what Peng Ru wants to do in advance, you can prevent it in advance."
Chen Zhengru could not imagine what means Pengru would use to trouble Xu Qingxiao.
The only thing that can be said is for Xu Qingxiao to be vigilant and vigilant.
"Chen Shangshu, Qingxiao understands this."
"But, according to your intuition, Minister Chen, when will Peng Ru take action?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
Chen Zhengru was silent for a while, and after a while, he gave an answer.
"The day of canonization."
Chen Zhengru replied.
Yes, the date of canonization.
If a person wants to criticize someone, he must hope that he will give him a fatal blow when he is at his most glorious.
The higher you fly, the more painful you fall.
This is the best opportunity to criticize Xu Qingxiao and ruin Xu Qingxiao's reputation in front of everyone in the world.
But the prerequisite is that you have confidence, absolute confidence, otherwise, you will be the one who makes a fool of yourself.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao fell silent.
The date of canonization?
Not in five days.
Xu Qingxiao agreed with Chen Zhengru's guess. After all, that was his most glorious moment.
If you take action at that time, if you can't resist it, you will be really embarrassed.
But Xu Qingxiao was also very curious.
Peng Ru, what method will he use to cause trouble for himself?
Do you want scholars all over the world to criticize you and massacre your city?
This is of no use at all.
"Go back and have a good rest. If you think about it occasionally, I will help you think about it. If you notice it, you can prepare something in advance."
In the end, Chen Zhengru had nothing to say and asked Xu Qingxiao to go back and rest.
"good."
"By the way, Chen Ru, let me ask you something."
"To become a great scholar in the world, you need public opinion, but what about becoming a saint?"
Xu Qingxiao suddenly spoke and asked Chen Zhengru how to become a saint.
As soon as he said this, Chen Zhengru couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Shouren, although I am a great Confucian, I don't know the method of becoming a saint. Only the great Confucians of heaven and earth know the method of becoming a saint."
"But since you are interested, come to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will take you to the Heaven and Earth Palace to ask about Xun Ru."
Chen Zhengru replied.
Xun Ru, on the other hand, was also a great Confucian of heaven and earth, just like Peng Ru, but not a great Confucian of heaven and earth in the lineage of Zhu Sheng.
It was the great scholar of heaven and earth who spoke out to help Xu Qingxiao when he was proving himself.
"Okay, I'm sorry for bothering Chen Ru."
Since it was about asking and helping, regarding Confucianism and Taoism, Xu Qingxiao naturally addressed him as Chen Ru.
"polite."
Chen Zhengru replied with two words.
Xu Qingxiao also left directly.
at the same time.
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The empress was sitting across from Li Guangxiao.
Discussing some things.
"Your Majesty, after this battle, the Wei Dynasty will completely move towards prosperity."
"Xu Shouren's advice today has laid the foundation for the glory of the Wei Dynasty for thousands of years."
After Li Guangxiao read Xu Qingxiao's suggestions, he couldn't help but give his highest evaluation.
"Xu Aiqing is indeed the lucky star of the Wei Dynasty."
The empress nodded and admired from the bottom of her heart.
The appearance of Xu Qingxiao was like a star that illuminated the way forward for the Wei Dynasty. Without Xu Qingxiao, the Wei Dynasty would have been destroyed, but at least it would have been difficult to see hope.
This is truly an ancient genius.
At this moment, Li Guangxiao continued to speak.
"Thousands of years of glory are destined, but a hundred years of strength is still a bit unstable."
Li Guangxiao suddenly spoke. He seemed to have thought of something and said this.
After a century of strength, is it still unstable?
The empress became a little curious. She looked at her master, a little curious.
Feeling the curiosity in the empress's gaze, Li Guangxiao coughed slightly, and then said with a serious and solemn face.
"Your Majesty, the Wei Dynasty is now stable and advancing step by step. I am bold enough to ask Your Majesty to consider the matter of marriage."
Li Guangxiao spoke up.
As soon as he said this, the empress' curious eyes calmed down instantly.
There was no trace of joy on his face, replaced by some indifference.
"Teacher, I said back then that I would never get married in this life."
The empress spoke, not wanting to discuss the matter, and decisively refused.
Just after saying this, Li Guangxiao shook his head and still said seriously.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the marriage of emperors has been a matter of course. If the emperor has no heirs, the country will be unstable, and the civil and military officials will not feel at ease."
"Why are the vassal kings from all over the country so eager to take action? In the final analysis, it is because the Wei Dynasty has no prince, and His Majesty has no heirs."
"If the Wei Dynasty has a prince, it will be a blessing for the Wei Dynasty and the world. Then the vassal kings from all over the country will no longer dare to take action, and the country will be more stable."
"The words of the veteran are not based on common sense, but on the grounds of the country. Please give your Majesty serious consideration."
What Li Guangxiao said is correct.
Since ancient times, officials have been most concerned about three things.
The people's livelihood, the country's prosperity, and the emperor, princes and heirs.
The emperor's heirs are the most important. No matter whether you are young or not, and whether you are strong or not, it is definitely right to give birth as early as possible.
If something big happens, the country will at least have a successor. But if you don't give birth, after you die, the vassal kings everywhere will have to make trouble even if they don't want to.
"I will never get married."
"I, now twenty-four, can continue to rule for another seventy years."
"Fifty years from now, I will select a royal son from various vassal kings or princes of the Wei Dynasty, raise him up, and inherit my throne."
The empress is still a little indifferent, but she is not helpless.
Fifty years later, go to any of the princes' palaces, pick up their children, and train them carefully for twenty years, selecting the best among them to inherit the throne.
Enough to block the mouth of the world.
But when he said this, Li Guangxiao shook his head firmly and said.
"This is not allowed."
"Firstly, the future is unpredictable. I beg your pardon to be brave. There will be ups and downs in ten years and clouds in ten years. Let alone fifty years from now, even ten years from now, what will happen in the end is impossible for your Majesty to predict, and neither can I predict."
"If the Wei Dynasty declares war with the Tuxie Dynasty or the Chu Yuan Dynasty, and His Majesty has no heirs, the Wei Dynasty will definitely be in civil strife."
"Secondly, choosing a prince and heir will undoubtedly intensify the struggle among the kings. Whoever chooses his heir to be the emperor will bring bloodshed."
"Thirdly, the people are uneasy precisely because Your Majesty is only twenty-four. If Your Majesty were forty-two, the people of the world would be uneasy, and so would all the civil and military officials."
"The above three points are all swords hanging over the head of Wei Dynasty."
"Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to choose a good king, give birth to an heir, and completely stabilize the Wei Dynasty."
"I can guarantee that if your Majesty really gives birth to a son, within a hundred years, the Wei Dynasty will be unprecedentedly powerful."
Li Guangxiao refuted the empress from three aspects: ethics, human principles, and national principles.
In words, the meaning is very simple.
Your Majesty, it’s time to find a husband and have a baby.
The more babies the better.
"Teacher, stop talking."
The empress sighed, but she still shook her head in refusal.
"Your Majesty, I have to say it, and I have to say it."
"Actually, I think Xu Qingxiao is pretty good. No matter in terms of age, talent, or character, Xu Qingxiao is the best among people."
"In addition, Xu Qingxiao is very likely to become the new sage of the Wei Dynasty. If Your Majesty marries Xu Qingxiao, the country of Wei Dynasty will be stable within not just a hundred but five hundred years."
Li Guangxiao finally expressed his thoughts.
He hopes that the empress will marry Xu Qingxiao.
When the empress gets married, she must be looking for someone who is the best of both worlds, and this person must be the best of the best.
Dawei happens to have one.
Xu Qingxiao.
In terms of talent, Xu Qingxiao is an eternal talent.
In terms of moral character, is the peerless Confucian scholar of bad character?
In terms of ability, the Wei Dynasty is now prosperous, and 70% of it is due to Xu Qingxiao.
In terms of influence, Xu Qingxiao is a god-like existence in the hearts of the people. As long as Xu Qingxiao truly becomes a saint, her status will definitely surpass that of the Empress of Wei.
If there is a strong alliance, the Wei Dynasty will not be able to rise even if it wants to.
Li Guangxiao was really not just talking nonsense. He thought about it for several days and felt that this plan was feasible.
"enough!"
"Teacher, I am tired."
In an instant, the empress spoke directly. She stood up and looked at her teacher. Her eyes were not angry, but helpless.
Moreover, the empress did not listen to any more words from Li Guangxiao, but directly stood up and left.
This scene made Li Guangxiao stunned.
He had taught the empress since childhood, and he knew her temperament and temperament very well.
It's suddenly so abnormal, there's something wrong with it.
hiss.
At this moment, Li Guangxiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The empress does have a crush on Xu Qingxiao.
Otherwise, this would not be possible.
Thinking of this, Li Guangxiao became excited.
He was really afraid that the empress would be calm. In that case, Xu Qingxiao would not agree even if they were forced to match her.
But if the empress has that kind of affection for Xu Qingxiao, everything will be easy to say.
Inside the main hall.
Li Guangxiao took a deep breath, said nothing more, and went back first.
This kind of thing needs to be done slowly. You can completely treat it as a marriage partner and pull the strings.
And at the same time.
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Inside the prison.
Peng Ru looked out the window.
The prison was very quiet.
At this moment, wisps of white mist appeared in his hands.
Form a line of characters.
After the words condensed, they disappeared in an instant.
And Peng Ru also showed a confident smile in his eyes.
But soon, his smile disappeared.
Instead, his eyes fell on Zhang Ning, who was silent at the side.
"Zhang Ru."
"What do you think?"
His voice was very calm.
Hear Peng Ru’s words again.
Zhang Ning took a deep breath, then knelt down and worshiped Peng Ru.
"Someone, I would like to be of the Zhusheng lineage and die."
This is his answer.
He kowtowed heavily on the ground.
Peng Ru said calmly.
"Zhang Ru."
"In ten years, you can become a great scholar in the world."
Peng Ru's voice was determined.
But Zhang Ning's expression did not change at all.
