Yufu, who was frightened by the words Taishan Fengshan, simply hid for several days.
Feng Chan cannot be sealed, at least not now, but she ordered that strange stone to be shelved and placed in the treasure building in the palace.
"There's a major event in Beijing, and I see that you don't want to study, why don't you come and talk about current affairs?"
In Taixue, Old Madam Bao looked down and saw that the children were mostly in a trance, so he put down the scroll and said this.
Everyone's attention was really attracted to him.
The old lady Bao said with her hands behind her back: "The turning of the earth dragon will not have much impact on the people in Beijing. Instead, it will help the poor in the north of the city to move to new homes and complete a major livelihood project for His Majesty. Another auspicious dragon scale stone has been unearthed in the Cangzhou River. , the common people are talking about it, this is God's edict to His Majesty's benevolent government."
Speaking of this, he took a look at Huashang, and Huashang's smile was full of joy and complacency.
Old Madam Bao changed the subject, "Then what do you all think, why Your Majesty refuses to enshrine Mount Tai?"
This topic of current affairs is really novel, it is not something that is usually used to deceive children, and I am afraid that it will be used as a topic in the imperial examination.
The children who were still out of their minds immediately thought about it, some were in a daze, some whispered in twos and threes, and some raised their thoughts noisily.
Gu Jiaojiao belongs to the last category.
Old Madam Bao lowered his eyes and sized up Gu Jiaojiao, "Yuan Chi, tell me."
Gu Jiaojiao spoke vigorously from the bottom, but once Old Madam Bao called her name, he hesitated again and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Old Madam Bao said slowly: "Don't be afraid, this is a current event, just talk about your opinion, there is no right or wrong opinion."
Gu Jiaojiao heard the words and said: "Then the student said it. I think, it must be that His Majesty thinks that the earth dragon's turnaround is a disaster after all, and there are more or less casualties and houses destroyed in the palace and the capital, so His Majesty thinks Solve the post-disaster matters first, and then slowly mention the matter of Feng Chan."
Old Madam Bao rarely showed a satisfied smile to him, "Okay, well said."
Gu Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide in surprise, she didn't expect her idea to be affirmed by Mrs. Bao, she sat down excitedly and asked Yuanzhang to share her excitement.
I don't want Yuanzhang to be called out by Mrs. Bao, "Yuanzhang, what do you think?"
Yuan Zhang stood up and thought for a while, "Students think what Yuan Chi said makes sense. In addition, since ancient times, the conferring of Zen on Mount Tai has been the prerogative of emperors who have made great achievements. Your Majesty may be humbled, thinking that she is still young. Such a grand event should not be done. There is probably a sense of sympathy for the people, and I don’t want to waste too much money.”
Mrs. Bao stroked her beard and nodded her head several times in a row. It was obvious that she was more satisfied with Yuanzhang's answer.
Hua Chang looked back at him with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, this action happened to be seen by Ouyang Tielu who was sitting in the last row, and he hurriedly raised his hand. Seeing this, Mrs. Bao told him to get up.
"Iron law? Why are you in this class?"
Ouyang Qi took him to Bao's mansion to make an apology, so Mrs. Bao was very impressed with him, and knew that he was in the older children's class next door.
Ouyang Tie Lv was a bit shy and said: "I also wanted to listen to Mrs. Bao's lecture, so I found someone to change my seat. Mrs. Fu, the students also want to share their views on this matter."
Old Madam Bao shook his head helplessly.
With Ouyang Tielv's temperament, it's really nothing to find someone to change positions. It's not like him not to do something out of the ordinary.
For the sake of his eagerness to learn, old master Bao didn't blame him, but said: "Okay, then you can talk about it."
Ouyang Tielu said: "I heard from my father that the Prince Regent has been in charge of naval training, and it has been very effective. I thought to myself that when the Sanyi people came to the capital under the pretense of studying, they actually led the fleet to attack the coast of Dazhou. The city, the soldiers and the common people were killed and injured countless times. Such a big matter has not been resolved, how can His Majesty have the mind to climb Mount Tai and enshrine Zen?"
Everywhere this word was spoken, everyone was shocked.
Ouyang Tielu was always naughty and bold in normal times, but when he said such serious words at first, it surprised people.
After all, how old is he, and he still remembers the invasion of the Sangyi fleet. The other children in the seat are still young, such as Huashang, who was born after that war.
Even Old Madam Bao was stunned, he thought of several answers in advance, Yuan Zhang and Gu Jiaojiao's answers were both right, but Ouyang Tie Lv's answer was not what he expected.
But when he thought about it, the answer made sense.
He lightly pressed his hand and signaled Ouyang Tielu to sit down, seeing the expressions of the children in the seat, he slowly explained.
"The answers of the three of you just now are all correct and very good."
He stroked his beard and gradually laughed, "I didn't expect that you would pay attention to current affairs at such a young age. It's just that what Tie Lu just said reminded me of old things. After the Sangyi fleet was defeated , the compensation of 1.8 million taels of silver, the war will be completely resolved. Now that Iron Law says it has not been resolved, what do you think?"
Huashang thought of the rumors in the palace, saying that the battle lasted for nearly a year, and even reached the point where the imperial driver personally conquered it.
In order for the imperial conquest to go smoothly, her mother almost wanted to kill her back then, but she tried her best to keep her, even cutting off her long hair...
She later questioned and researched, and the rumors were true, but she didn't blame her parents.
As the princess of the empire, it is her honor to use her life to help the country, the country, the soldiers and the common people before she was born.
"Compensation is the solution!"
"Not solved! Who cares about that stinky money?"
The children argued, bringing Huashang's thoughts back to reality.
Old Madam Bao didn't speak, but only watched the children's demeanor and words, and judged their cognition of things and their attitudes towards people from them.
"But we were the ones who asked for compensation back then, and His Majesty agreed, so how can we say that it hasn't been resolved?"
"Compensation is compensation. The blood debt has not been paid. Why can't we beat them again? This is not resolved!"
…
"It didn't work out, of course it didn't work out!"
At the same time, in the imperial study room, Yu Fu waved his sleeves, "Does one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver want to buy the lives of so many soldiers and common people in my Great Zhou? When I was fishing, I caught a fish with a human bone in its belly! Such a bloody feud cannot be resolved with money!"
The next ones are Tian Yunpo, Zhang Jiuque and other ministers, who were a little shocked when they heard the words. It turned out that Yufu refused to perform the act of enshrining Mount Tai for Zen because of this matter.
"Then what does His Majesty mean?"
Yufu took a deep breath and regained his composure, "After the war, the national treasury was empty. I had no choice but to resort to increasing taxes. The demand for compensation is also to understand the urgent need, but there is a word in the letter of credence that as long as the compensation I don't care about past suspicions? This hatred must be avenged, otherwise how can I comfort the spirits of my great Zhou soldiers?"
Zhang Jiuque frowned and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, we took all the money back then, and now... will people talk about my narrow mind?"
"Could it be that bearing humiliation means you have a lot of energy?"
Yu Fu snorted disdainfully, "Sang Yi was unrighteous first, invaded the coastal border of our Great Zhou, and slaughtered the people in several cities. The bloody feud is irreconcilable, and now I am asked to forget such a great enmity for the sake of so-called magnanimity, how can the heroic spirit tolerate it?" Can you let me go?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Tian Yunpo and the others, "My spirit is so big, and revenge is imperative. I want Da Zhou's iron hoof to break through Sang Yi, and comfort my Da Zhou soldiers in the sky! Otherwise, you don't need to mention the matter of enshrining Zen." !"
Tian Yunpo frowned slightly, and first comforted Zhang Jiuque, "Taibao, in the letter of credentials of His Majesty, it is true that he did not care about the past after he said compensation. Now that Da Zhou is resting and recuperating, he is strong enough to fight again, and revenge is the same. It should be taken for granted, how can you say that you are narrow-minded?"
He turned to Yu and said, "However, Your Majesty, it is very important to start a war against Sangyi, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run..."
"There is no need to discuss."
Gu Shubai walked from outside the hall with a smile, "The newly improved giant ship of the Ministry of Industry has been built. Since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been improved four or five times on the basis of the original Sanyi giant ship, and its power has greatly increased. The navy has already Ready to go, as long as the court gives an order, we can immediately start a war against Sangyi."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This time count me in, I must go!"
