However, Shang Xi's expression suddenly made Yunxi feel a little unhappy. Shang Xi had lived in the capital for more than three years since the 31st year of Hongwu, and they had already developed a brother-sister relationship. Yunxi thought that she would travel with Song Hu for six years.
I will get married about a year after the ceremony, and then another good cabbage will be lost to the pigs, which makes me a little unhappy.
At this time, Xiyi suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your expression is the same as my brother's expression when my sister and I got married."
"Really?" Yunxi also smiled, stretched out his hand and touched his chin.
"Yeah." Xiyi nodded seriously.
"When I think about my sister, although Shang Xi is not my biological sister, she will be married off in a year or two, and I feel very unhappy." Yunxi smiled again and said.
"But isn't it natural for a man to marry a woman?" Xiyi said.
Yunxi didn't speak anymore. In his opinion, it was okay not to marry. But, alas.
The next day, on the second day of August, Yunxi summoned Song Hu alone. Song Hu rushed to the capital yesterday and handed over the bloody horse to the eunuch of the palace, and was received by Yunxi. So he was receiving
It was a bit strange after His Majesty's oral instructions for him to enter the palace again.
But no matter how strange it was, he did not dare to resist the order. He immediately put on his highest-grade clothes and followed the young eunuch who came to deliver the order to the palace.
As soon as he walked outside the right gate of Chang'an, he happened to meet his eldest brother Song Xuan.
Song Xuan also asked in surprise: "Your Majesty summoned you?"
"Yes, brother." Song Hu replied.
"Didn't you already meet Your Majesty yesterday? Your Majesty..." Song Xuan was mid-sentence when he suddenly realized that the eunuch in the palace was standing nearby. He quickly changed the subject and said: "How come I haven't seen your clothes before?"
?”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin gave it to me." Song Hu replied somewhat casually.
But when Song Xuan heard Song Hu's answer, he grabbed him and said to the young eunuch: "I'm sorry, please wait a moment, father-in-law." Then he pulled Song Hu aside without waiting for the young eunuch's answer.
, leaving the little eunuch alone in the place with a confused look on his face.
Song Xuan had no time to care about the little eunuch. He put Song Hu in the corner outside the imperial city, with a look of hatred on his face, and whispered: "You wear the clothes given by His Highness King Qin to meet His Majesty? Yours?"
What a brain!"
"Is there any problem with this?" Song Hu asked with a confused look on his face.
"Here," Song Xuan looked at the eunuchs, guards and officials of all levels coming and going, and said to him: "Don't worry about why, if it doesn't work, it won't work! Take off your clothes quickly."
"Brother, I don't have any change of clothes with me. If I take off these clothes, I will only be left with my middle coat." Song Hu said.
"Let's change clothes! You happen to be in command in the northwest, so you don't have to worry about overstepping. Although our brothers are slightly different in stature, our court uniforms are both loose and unobtrusive," Song Xuan said.
"But, brother, just change clothes here?" Song Hu said.
Song Xuan knocked him on the head and said, "Of course not here!" Then he took him to the place where the officials entering the palace kept the carriages and horses, and hid between the two carriages and changed clothes.
When Yunxi met Song Hu, he didn't know that there was such an episode when he entered the palace. After Song Hu's salute, in order to let Shang Xi look at Song Hu more, he told him about the situation in the northwest. But as he said
As he said that, he forgot his original intention and started talking about Qin Fan's affairs seriously.
"Your Majesty, there are now more than 20,000 Han people in Hami in the northwest, more than 60,000 Mongolians, more than 10,000 Tibetans, and more than 10,000 Xifans; there are also more than 30,000 people in the three guards of King Qin, including more than 100,000 family members.
People. The total population is more than 210,000."
"His Royal Highness sent some of the soldiers of the Three Guards to guard the people, and established the Yiwu Guard, recruiting local Mongolians as soldiers and generals. Those Mongols were very obedient to the so-called golden family of the descendants of Genghis Khan, so there was King Yilibali Khan
Help, the Mongolians are more obedient." Song Hu said.
"The influence of the Golden Family is too great. Didn't Shang Bing think of any way to stop this?" Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Qin asked the military doctors from the Three Guards to open a medical clinic to treat the local Mongolians, which attracted the Mongolians to be very interested in traditional Chinese medicine. His Highness took the opportunity to open a school and was willing to teach Mongolian medicine, but only if he is under seven years old.
children, and teach them Chinese language and Chinese customs."
"And in the name of better communication, His Highness ordered all Mongolian generals to learn Chinese. If they cannot learn Chinese within one year, they will not be able to serve as generals." Song Hu said.
"Of course Shang Bing's measures are correct, but the effect is too slow. It would be better if it were faster. Let Shang Bing set up a school and recruit children from Han, Mongolian, and Western people." Yunxi said.
"No, they must not want to go to school. This cannot be forced. Aren't there many eminent monks going to Yiwu now? Tell Shang Bing that a Buddhist temple must be built in Hami immediately." Yunxi said again.
"Your Majesty, there is a Tibetan Lamaism in Hami now, and His Highness the King of Qin is worried that building a Buddhist temple hastily will cause unrest." Song Hu said.
"Is the long-term turmoil in the future more harmful, or the temporary turmoil? Isn't it clear that he can't settle this account?"
"Of course, I also understand his concerns. This decision is not easy to make. So I came to make this decision for him."
"And there is no need to force the local Lamaism into despair and let the local eminent monks recruit the eminent Lamaism monks." Yunxi said.
"Incorporated?" Song Hu said in surprise.
"Yes, it is to be incorporated." Yunxi walked up and down the steps, no longer paying attention to Song Hu, and was completely immersed in his own thoughts: "Isn't Lamaism also a branch of Buddhism? Why can't it be incorporated?"
In his impression, there are few high-level leaders of all religions who truly believe in it, and many of them do things that are blasphemous to their own religion. The monks of Shaolin Temple harmed many local girls and wives during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Some monks even
He openly declared: 'Those who have a good wife will have good land to farm, those who have a poor wife will have no land to farm, and those who have no wife will have no land to farm.'
Yunxi then talked about many measures to 'clear out' the local Lamaism, completely forgetting about the others. Song Hu just stood at the foot of the steps in a daze, not knowing what to do; Shang Xi, who was hiding behind the curtain, was in no mood to steal anything.
Seeing Song Hu, he plugged his ears and squatted on the ground.
It was Wang Xi who, while writing down the key points of what Yun Xi said, secretly asked the young eunuch to get an earplug and a small stool for Shang Xi.
I don’t know how long it took, but after Yunxi finished saying what he wanted to say, he broke away from his thoughts, said "Oh!" and said to Song Hu: "Did you remember what I just said?"
"Your Majesty, I have taken some notes." Song Hu bowed and said.
Just as Yunxi was about to continue speaking, Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty, I have written down what your Majesty just said."
"That's good." Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought and said a lot just now, but now he can no longer remember some of the words he said.
He looked at Song Hu again, and suddenly remembered that the purpose of announcing his entry into the palace today was to let Shang Xi take a look at him, and then leave him in the capital to wait for marriage. He could not return to Qin Fan immediately. Monk Shang Bing said that he
What he said, he could only tell Shang Bing these things by writing a letter.
So it was meaningless for him to talk to Song Hu. Thinking of this, Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. Thinking that Shang Xi had been watching for almost an hour, he said to Song Hu: "Is there anything else that King Qin wants you to report to me?"
Something?" I wanted to send him away.
But Song Hu said: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Qin has nothing to report to Your Majesty. But when I was passing by Ganzhou, His Highness King Su had something to report to Your Majesty."
"Well, why didn't Uncle Fourteen report something himself and let you report it on his behalf?" Yunxi asked.
"I don't know," Song Hu said.
"What did Uncle Fourteen ask you to report on your behalf?" Yunxi asked.
"His Royal Highness King Su said that the late emperor had previously granted the title of His Highness King Min to Minzhou, but later changed the title to His Highness King Min to Yunnan. However, the previous Minzhou Guards were established based on the guards of the vassal kings, and because they were preparing to expand into three
There is a guard, so there are nearly twice as many soldiers as in an ordinary guard."
"So His Highness Prince Su requested that the Minzhou Guard be split up to fill some of the guard posts that lacked soldiers." Song Hu said.
"It turns out that this is the case," Yunxi said: "He can just discuss it with Wu Gao. In fact, there is no need to report it to me."
"But why was Uncle Fourteen mentioning this to me and not Wu Gao?" Yunxi suddenly thought.
"Your Majesty, when I arrived in Ganzhou, His Highness King Su and Duke Wei were at the Sanqin Capital Division and Sanqin Xingdu Division to inspect the guard posts in various places, so His Highness King Su spoke to the minister," Song Hu said.
"I see." King Su and Xu Huizu were touring various places together, so they happened to tell Song Hu about this matter.
After that, Song Hu had nothing to report and bowed down.
As soon as Song Hu retreated, Shang Xi came out from behind the curtain. He was a little dissatisfied but cautiously complained to Yunxi: "Brother, my sister's legs are numb when she stands inside the curtain."
"This is really an accident. Brother Huang didn't plan to talk to Song Hu for a long time. He asked you to leave after just looking at him for a few times. It was just that he accidentally talked about some things." Yunxi explained.
"Brother Emperor, is it necessary to pay so much attention to religion? My sister sees that both you and Brother Shang Bing attach great importance to Buddhism." Shang Xi asked curiously.
"Shang Xi," Yunxi touched her head and said, "Except for a very few people, most of the Han people have superficial faith in religion. It is common for them to worship Bodhisattva in the morning, worship Sanqing at noon, and worship the earth god at night.
."
"But it's different for other ethnic groups. You may have seen Xiban and Tibetans in the northwest before. Unlike the Han people, they are very pious to the gods and Buddhas they believe in."
"Promoting religion can play a greater role than fighting in places like the northwest and northeast. If you go to the northwest or northeast in the future, you will know."
