Wu Gelao said that dead people were causing trouble, such as Kong Daxiang and Zhang Yu. He was thinking of the dead eldest prince and the second prince whose life and death were uncertain after the shipwreck. As for the emperor, although he knew that the two brothers were always bold, he thought of
The ones that happened were some officials who committed suicide by taking medicine during a period of chaos in the capital.
The eldest prince and the second prince are so full that they want to forge an edict and ask Goryeo to pay tribute to a daughter? It is impossible for the two of them to marry a Goryeo princess. On the contrary, if their mother is still alive, she may do this because she hates Concubine Yu and other concubines.
It's a trick. But no matter who is in charge, there must be someone who implements it.
I remember that among the people who committed suicide before, there was the Xingren Division. The person in charge of the Xingren Division issued edicts to the outside world. The imperial court has always sent envoys to foreign countries. Sometimes they would send relatively high-ranking officials with high standards, but most of the time they just sent a pedestrian.
. He remembered that in response to the King of Goryeo's various entreaties, he went to seal the princess and a certain envoy of the king and concubine, who was from the Gongren Division.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help being extremely irritable. If Goryeo pretended to be an imperial edict, but in fact it was just to curry favor with him, then it would be easy to do. Just do whatever you want. If someone in the court forged an edict and asked Goryeo to pay tribute to his daughter,
, they really sent the woman here respectfully, wouldn’t it be embarrassing and being sent to a foreign country?
The emperor with a long face punched the armrest in annoyance, and then asked coldly: "Tell me, what should I do?"
What to do? This time, the three elders looked at each other again. Even elder Wu, who had just woken up the dreamer, was very embarrassed and pulled his few beards. He had no idea for a long time.
After a while, he saw that his two colleagues were all looking at him. Bachelor Kong, who did not have the title of chief assistant but was responsible for the chief assistant, had to bite the bullet and start the attack.
"Since we have sent them all, let them enter the palace." Seeing the emperor's disgusted expression, Academician Kong had to patiently persuade him, "Your Majesty, they are just some women. If you don't like them, there is no need.
They can be made concubines and accepted as palace servants. There are so many palaces and courtyards in the palace, and they can't wander around because they can't see them anyway..."
"Although they are Korean women, they were born and raised by their parents. If they are really what I want, they can be brought into the palace. This is not what I want. Why should I raise them in vain?" The emperor's previous words were very compassionate.
He has an imperial heart, but the last sentence fully exposed his consistently bad character.
Even if he is not raising a concubine, but is just a palace keeper, it still costs money, okay! He spends this money for no reason, and he is not full to support it! Moreover, after spending money, outsiders will say that he is a lecherous emperor. This
What a shame!
And Academician Kong was so choked up by the emperor's words that he felt panicked, but what he didn't expect was that something even more exciting was coming later: "Since Kong Qing, you think these women have been sent here, why don't you let them travel thousands of miles away?"
It’s really unreasonable to go back, so I’ll simply marry them to important ministers, and you can take one of them home later!”
This is like standing in the palace, and the pot comes from the sky. Even if the Confucian scholar knows that his wife is a virtuous lady praised by the outside world, he can take a Goryeo noble girl back as a concubine... Shouldn't there be trouble in the family? Even if it is
Even if his wife doesn't make trouble, his children will also harbor grudges. He is not a lecherous person. He makes the house uneasy because of a woman who doesn't care. Is he mentally ill?
And he was not the only one. From the emperor's tone, he planned to take the important officials home one by one, just like rain and dew. If this was the case, then the three elders knew the news but did not stop it. That would be terrible
You really are going to be stabbed in the spine until you die!
Therefore, the Confucian scholar immediately said seriously: "There is indeed something wrong with the tribute girls of Goryeo. However, the emperor does not take them into the palace, but distributes them to his ministers, and it is even more inappropriate to spread them out. It should be noted that Goryeo is not more important than our dynasty, and the most important thing is to send concubines.
These Korean women who come to the capital must all be legitimate daughters. It is an honor to enter the emperor's family, but it is humiliating to be a minister and concubine."
Seeing the playful smile on the emperor's face, Academician Kong couldn't help racking his brains to think of countermeasures. Of course, he also didn't forget to give Wu Ge Lao and Zhang Yu a look, suggesting that they would also help. Otherwise, he would definitely go back to take one back, but the other two
Can you stay out of it?
Mr. Wu Ge was good at making peace with others. Apart from his old wife, he had no other favorites in his family. However, he had many children and grandchildren. His old wife gave him three sons and four daughters, and the wives of his three sons also gave birth to another child.
He has four grandchildren and three granddaughters, and looking at his young condition, he might be able to live again, so of course he would not just bring a Korean concubine into his home at a very old age.
It's just that the reason for being a bachelor of Confucius really made him think. But it's just a nice thing to call her a noble lady of Goryeo. How noble do you really think you are? In the poor place like Goryeo, the so-called nobles don't have anything to eat.
Many of the colorful clothes she wore were bought from the Ming Dynasty. Why couldn’t the legitimate daughter be a concubine?
The concubines of the officials of the Ming Dynasty might be better dressed than the princesses there!
But thinking so in his heart, Mr. Wu Ge smiled, and of course he would not say such words directly. Seeing that the emperor was obviously not interested in the reason of Confucius University, Zhang Yu frowned and thought hard for a while, but he couldn't think of anything else.
For this reason, he secretly sneered that at the critical moment, he, the emperor's yes-man, who could best understand the emperor's thoughts, had to step in.
"Your Majesty, when I saw the credentials of Goryeo, it was stated in the document that there was no imperial edict and why the tribute was paid to women. This is because I was really surprised by the so-called imperial edict in the imperial edict. But our imperial edict was issued at that time.
What did you say? Since there is something fishy, I'm afraid it's no use just looking through the manuscript of my edict here. I think I still have to test it out first."
Speaking of this, Wu Gelao paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The tiger from the Korean royal family who came this time seems to be going to the Imperial College to study? In this case, find some noble disciples.
Take him out for a walk and ask him a few questions along the way, and you should be able to find out the truth."
However, as soon as Mr. Wu Ge said these words, Academician Kong Da next to him stabbed angrily: "Old Wu Ge must have forgotten one thing, right? There seem to be few noble disciples in the Imperial College nowadays. Banshan Hall
Already moved to a public school in an outer city."
Wu Ge Lao's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he sarcastically said angrily: "It's strange what Master Kong said. In the sixth hall of the Imperial College, even a noble disciple can't be picked up? I think of Zhao Guogong back then.
The eldest son once topped all six halls and was famous for a while, but now there are no successful officials in the six halls. Are all the Imperial Academy supervisors freeloaders?"
Zhang Yu saw that this time it was Wu Gelao and Grand Scholar Kong who were facing each other tit for tat. Grand Scholar Zhang Yu immediately couldn't laugh or cry. However, he secretly glanced at the emperor and saw that although the man was touching his chin noncommittally, his eyes were obviously a little wandering.
, obviously distracted.
Weighing the emperor's character, he secretly felt that the emperor agreed with Mr. Wu Ge's proposal. However, even he felt that it was unrealistic to select a man as talented as Zhu Tingfang in the Imperial College, who was both civil and military and capable.
Not to mention the Imperial College, there are many people who have been awarded Jinshi and gold medals, and whose articles are colorful, but they also stumbled when they first became an official, and they had many shortcomings in their dealings with others. And in his opinion, the best students in the Imperial College have to deal with Goryeo like Zhe Shanjun.
Your Majesty, you are actually using the wrong person.
So, he said decisively: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Wu Ge's plan is feasible. However, although the tiger king of Goryeo is young, they have forced his father to abdicate and his brother to abdicate since the founding of the country, and then they were in trouble...
...In short, it has never stopped. The royal family must have a strong sense of security at a young age, so ordinary supervisors who are both good in character and academics are probably useless."
Master Kong immediately heard the implication of Zhang Yu's words, and immediately asked with a dark face: "Does Master Zhang mean that if you can't supervise students, let those little naughty people from the public school come forward?"
"How can you call me a little slippery?" Mr. Wu Ge had been arguing with the Confucian scholar for so long. He just wanted to bring this out from the beginning, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yu took the lead. Therefore, he was a little annoyed, but someone
Help him to hold up the Confucian scholar together, and he will naturally be happy to continue to present facts and reason.
"Lu Gaoyuan, the prodigal son, turned back and became a genius; Zhang Zishen, the overbearing son, turned back now; Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu also did a great job in Xingtai; Zhu Erlang is now also a good farmer like Zhu Gong... Among these people, one Lu Sanlang is in the public school, and the others
In fact, they have all left the army. In terms of status, they are no less than that tiger, and in terms of knowledge, they are far more than that, and..."
"Do you think, Master Kong, that a Goryeo royal family like Zheshan is willing to associate with ordinary supervisors who he can never recruit and are completely useless to him? Or is he willing to associate with these nobles whose elders are members of the court?
He is an important minister, and he may be able to associate with your descendants who will be helpful to him in the future?"
When Wu Gelao mentioned this, Bachelor Kong had no choice but to shut up. Although the fake edict incident had nothing to do with him, he still didn't want Zhang Shou, Lu Sanlang, Zhang Chen and others to have a chance to shine, but
The ones he had in his pocket were all outstanding talents, and he really couldn't bring out the noble disciples like Zhang Chen and others.
But this did not prevent him from sneering: "Don't forget, the Goryeo royal family that Zhang Chen once scolded in the street is now the King of Goryeo. As long as that tiger has a brain, he will see Zhang Chen
You will hide as far as you can!"
"If that kid dares to violate Taizu's prohibition, he should certainly be scolded and beaten."
This time, it was the emperor who spoke with a cold face: "If I meet you, I will do the same thing. What kind of Confucianism does Goryeo claim to pursue, but in fact it treats people as animals and tramples on the people's strength. The so-called imperial examination is nothing more than
The two groups of children compete in the same field, the noble ones will always be noble, and the humble ones will always be humble, and they have only learned a layer of knowledge about the imperial examinations of China!"
Scholar Confucius was frightened when he heard this, fearing that the emperor would suddenly get angry and plan to issue an edict to warn Goryeo. Fortunately, the emperor just cursed twice and then smiled.
"But what does it have to do with me? Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty defeated Goguryeo to the point of subjugation, but ended up taking advantage of Silla. As long as they are obedient, I don't care if they treat their own people as livestock! As for sitting in a sedan chair within the boundaries of my Ming Dynasty,
Seeing that the boy is still young, has been bumpy along the way, and speaks in a respectful manner, I sent someone to give him a few words and that was it."
Wu Gelao heard that the emperor had already set the tone, and he smiled and said: "I heard a little about the reason why the tiger king took a sedan chair to the city gate and then changed the carriage prepared by the host and guest. It is said that it was
The two carriages he was riding in were bumpy and repaired all the way, and finally they couldn't hold up and fell apart, but he didn't want to ride in other people's cars, so he took out the sedan that was prepared for him."
"Didn't the fourth prince happen to meet the Goryeo delegation when he returned to Beijing with Academician Zhang? He had never seen a Goryeo sedan before, and he even curiously asked what tributes were contained in the big box carried by the four people."
Because after the fourth prince returned to the palace, he was too busy talking about his anecdotes in the countryside and did not even mention the Korean mission. Therefore, the emperor just found out that Zhang Shou and his party actually bumped into the Korean mission.
When he heard Mr. Wu Ge vividly telling the whole story, the emperor couldn't help but laugh. Finally, he slapped the handrail and said, "That's it. Don't let Zhang Chen go. I'll send him to solve the major life-long matter first."
, let Little Fatty Lu come in. No, that little Fatty is busy begging for money with Yingying to raise funds... Well, let Zhu Erlang go!"
The emperor casually decided on the candidate, and then said calmly: "We will also bring the big guy from Xiangyang Bo's family and Ji Jiu from Jiuzhangtang, and let them also practice."
Hearing this, even though Academician Confucius had nothing to do with the Korean tiger, he still couldn't help crying tears of sympathy for the other party. However, when he resigned from the Qianqing Palace, he suddenly remembered something.
He forgot to ask the emperor if Zhe Shanjun entered the Imperial College, which of the six halls should he be placed in and which doctor should be in charge.
However, when he saw Mr. Wu Ge pulling Zhang Yu to talk with a smile, he didn't want to turn around and go back, so he simply walked a few steps quickly and kept his sight out of sight. Since the death of his clan brother, those cases were certainly solved quickly because of his one move that drained the salary from the bottom of the cauldron.
The mess was cleaned up, but his reputation was ultimately affected.
Of course, what upset him the most was that he clearly agreed, but in fact he played a trick on Zhu Tingfang. The knife in Zhu Tingfang's hand, he didn't know when he would poke it out! He really didn't want to get along with the Zhu family.
If Zhang Shou has any conflicts, he is afraid of being cheated to death!
Of course, the emperor would not specifically convey an order to such a private matter, let alone send someone to talk to Zhu Er alone. Therefore, Zhang Shou, who had rarely rested for a day after returning from the palace, was practicing his terrible calligraphy under the guidance of Zhu Ying.
, suddenly received a notification from outside, saying that the emperor sent someone to award the gift.
The new year is approaching, and Zhang Shou, who has received various rewards in recent days, can't help but rub his wrists suspiciously, while Zhu Ying is also a little confused. When the couple met together, they found that Chen Yongshou came in person, and the so-called reward was a
When they were getting out of the box, they couldn't help but look at each other. It couldn't be what they imagined, right?
Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Yongshou laughed dryly and said: "I think the government would think it was a gift, but in fact the emperor said that since it is the Northwest Development Fund with the word Ming Dynasty, there is no way he can be justified if he doesn't get a share.
, so I sent this box. By the way, I also asked the eldest lady to bring a message to the Second Young Master Zhu. The emperor said that he would ask him to come forward and invite the tiger king of Korea to visit the capital and find out what happened to the tribute daughter of Korea.
What's going on? Oh, bring the big guy from the public school and Ji Jiu."
