Who Cares

Chapter 138: Mother of the Nation

Views:

Emperor Shengyuan was worried about how to win over these talents, so the emperor gave him a brilliant idea. As long as the proclamation is promulgated to the world, which literati can resist the temptation of writing a book and passing it on? As long as they are willing to come, he can keep people!

"The emperor has a good mind! Bring the memorial, and I want to take a closer look!" He immediately asked Bai Fu to present the half-palm-thick memorial to the royal front.

The generals still did not respond, and the civil servants were already excited and the ground was red. Leaving a masterpiece for future generations, those who are fortunate enough to participate in it will surely live on forever! This is what they have been looking for all their lives, how can they miss it? The emperor really had a broad mind, and he developed the literary world, unlike Xu Guangzhi, who blindly deceived the world and stole his name to gain profits.

Be sure to let the emperor approve the memorial as soon as possible! Be sure to get a job as a book writer! Thinking like this, all the civil servants are ready to move. If the court disperses and the news spreads, Hongru, who lives in Yanjing, will surely gather in the imperial master's mansion to contribute to the Confucian classics. This kind of thing does not need to be stirred at all. As long as the emperor raises his arm, the people of the world will definitely respond!

While thinking about it, Emperor Shengyuan has quickly read the memorial, and without even thinking about it, he mentioned the word "quasi memorial" in the red pen, and appointed the emperor as Lantai Lingshi, responsible for setting up a compilation hall, and convened the world's leading scholars. Xiang event.

Grandpa Guan kowtowed to the leader and looked excited. All the civil servants also knelt down and kowtowed. Long live the mountain.

After another court affairs were dealt with, Emperor Shengyuan felt a little high-spirited, and was about to let Bai Fu sing to stop the court, but saw the princes of the Jiuli tribe come forward in unison, begging the emperor to stand up. Because of his bizarre background, and because the previous emperor had murderous intentions for this son, the loyalty of the royal family to Emperor Shengyuan was far less than that of the Han people. No one expected that he would eventually ascend the throne, and he was encouraged by the queen mother, so it was inevitable that he would not be a minister. Therefore, in the early days of the founding of the country, only Pan surnamed among the top ten noble surnames of the Jiuli tribe sent their daughters into the palace, and the rest of the concubines and concubines All of them are lowly, and they are abandoned children.

Now that the mystery of Emperor Shengyuan's life experience has been solved, with the help of Hanchendi, his power has become more stable and his prestige has risen, while the Queen Mother's line has completely died down, almost hiding. Daughter stuffed into the harem Bo Chong.

The emperor was abandoned by his clan since he was a child, and was raised by wolves. Most of the troops who helped him conquer the world were the Han army. How much did he still have feelings for his clan? No one dared to think deeply about the answer to this question. But watching him wantonly support Han Chen, and focus on suppressing the honors and honors of the Jiuli tribe who are not loyal to him, you can see one or two.

Strengthening his blood ties with his clansmen while the military power has not yet been fully captured by him, this is the way the princes have worked hard for many days. In any case, the Empress of Wei State must be a woman of the Jiuli ethnic group, and the next prince must be a concubine of the Jiuli ethnic group.

Holding the list of successors drawn up by several princes in his hand, Emperor Shengyuan laughed instead of anger, leaned over and asked, "Who is Zhen?"

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the state of Wei." The honorable and noble members of the Jiuli clan were rather baffled, "How much power do I have?"

"You are supreme!"

"Can I be worthy of the most precious treasure in the world?"

"You are rich in the world, and the treasures in the world will naturally belong to you."

"Then what do you mean by arbitrarily choosing these ordinary women for me? Look down on me?" Emperor Shengyuan threw away the list and said slowly, "If I want to stand up, I must marry Wei who has the most beautiful appearance and the most outstanding talent. The woman with the most noble family background and the most virtuous, and the vulgar and vulgar powder next to her, does not deserve to be in my eyes!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole dynasty fell silent. The princes retorted with intent, but could not find a suitable entry point. He is the supreme being of Wei State, and of course worthy of the most outstanding woman in Wei State, what's wrong with saying that? Those four conditions are also essential qualities for the mother of a country, and none of them are indispensable.

This, this is completely different from what they originally thought! How to refute? Could it be that you have to choose one of these women, Your Majesty? Could it be that you are not worthy of such a perfect woman, and you can just do it? The current Emperor Shengyuan is not a tool driven by the previous emperor as a packhorse. He is authoritarian and has power in his hands. If he wants to force him to submit, it is impossible at all. Even if the top ten noble surnames and the army controlled by the royal clan all add up, they are only two or three tenths of the Han army under his command. They can fight together, but they are doomed.

The most beautiful, the most talented, the most expensive, and the most virtuous? The Han courtiers also thought about it in their hearts, picking out the unmarried women in Beijing and counting them, but Guan Suyi, the granddaughter of the old man, accounted for four points. Whether she is beautiful or not, anyone with eyes can see her; is she talented enough to compete with the literary giants of the world several times? If the Emperor Shifu can't afford the four characters of "a noble family", who can afford it? As for virtue, it's a matter of opinion.

Some people criticize Guan's women as being rigid and virtuous, but that is for ordinary people. If the emperor came to talk about it, she would only gain a good impression on the fact that the first and queen mothers were able to rectify the name of the mother. Others said hundreds of thousands of sentences about Miss Guan's disadvantages, and she was also good in the emperor's heart.

The emperor's words are completely based on what Miss Guan said! Thinking of this, many people glanced at Di Shi and Tai Chang to see how they would react.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Emperor Shi and Tai Chang didn't even raise their eyebrows, as if it had nothing to do with them. That's right, although Miss Guan is both talented and beautiful, she has been married and divorced, so how can she be a queen! Almost forgot the key point!

Everyone reacted and breathed a sigh of relief. The lower-ranking ministers lost their minds, but the noble and powerful ministers slipped their daughters one by one to see who is talented, beautiful, and virtuous, so as to find a chance to meet the emperor in the future. .

Emperor Shengyuan was not surprised when he saw that the two Taishans were indifferent, but he was also unavoidable. What happened to the woman who left? He Li can't marry again? What a bunch of idiots! The simple words have been released, and if someone puts a woman in his harem, he will have to weigh whether he is qualified or not.

After thinking about it, he said slowly, "You Aiqings are worried that there is no owner in the harem, and I am also worried, but the mother of a country is the most honorable woman in the whole world, how can anyone deserve it? People who are not worthy of the name steal the Jiaofang Palace and destroy my great Wei Guozuo, what do you think?"

It has risen to the height of a bad country, who dares to refute it? What's more, what the emperor said is right, the empress is virtuous and not virtuous, it really matters a lot. You don't see Xia, Shang, Zhou... All the previous dynasties died because of chaos in the harem. On the other hand, the emperor's standard for establishing a post is really reasonable.

After the hall had subsided, Emperor Shengyuan raised his voice, "Do you have anything to do, Aiqing? Let's retire if there is nothing else."

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to send the holy car away, only to see him striding to the gate of the Golden Palace, suddenly turning around and smiling, "Di Shi, I asked you last time if you recognize the innkeeper, and you said you didn't know, now Only then did I find out that she is actually your granddaughter. I will remember your crime of deceiving the king, and I will give you a calligraphy treasure to pay for it another day."

The old man Guan quickly knelt down to apologize, and when he got up again, His Majesty was far away. The father and son came out of the Golden Palace, and then showed a solemn expression. Who said that Heli cannot enter the palace? Others have forgotten, but they have not forgotten that the Jiuli people have always had the custom of father-death son and brother-in-law, not only in the change of rights and inheritance of family business, but also in marriage. Brothers marry sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law marry uncles, and even wives and stepmothers, all kinds of absurd actions have been passed down for hundreds of years and have evolved into ethics.

Even the father's woman can marry, what's the point of marrying a second-married daughter? His Majesty said these words today on purpose to the Guan family!

Grandpa Guan didn't know what to do, and was just a little worried, but Father Guan felt that the situation was over and he was powerless to struggle. Fortunately, although the daughter does not understand conspiracy, she is good at using Yang conspiracy. If she can occupy the phoenix position, she may avoid the worst end.

When the court meeting was going on, the war of letters was still going on, and the teahouses near Wenbang were already overcrowded. The giants occupied one house, and the students did not dare to enter and harass, so they could only linger nearby. Some teahouse shopkeepers are very knowledgeable, selling both tea and ink, paper and inkstone, and the business is very hot.

One of the luxuriously decorated teahouses is gathering many noble children, silently burying their heads in copying texts. Guan Wenhai was also among them, but his face was not as excited as the others, white and blue, twisted. The news that Guan Suyi was an innkeeper gave him a blow, and then Xu Weng's writings were refuted by many Hongru scholars, and he used practical arguments to prove that many of his views were just conjectures. If they were used to teach students, they might be wrong. Suspected as a son of a man.

There is no doubt that Guan Wenhai is one of the misguided students. Thinking of the strategy that he shared with the public half a month ago, he can't wait to go back in time and burn the manuscript. He even uttered nonsense, directly scolding his cousin for pretending to be ignorant, ignorant, and refuting his article after saying that Guan's father had a problem with him.

It turned out that he was the one who didn't pretend to understand, and he was the one who held grudges. He mocked his cousin's words, and the cousin's reply to this was now a reason for everyone to make fun of him.

"Remember the article that Guan Wenhai published last time? Looking at it now, it's ridiculous. Miss Guan warned him that he was wrong, and he slandered other people's lack of knowledge. I don't know how to criticize Xu Guangzhi. Those who discuss the Tao in common are not as knowledgeable as him."

"Hey, you don't know that. He doesn't look at talent, he only looks at age. Older people are more knowledgeable, and younger ones are less knowledgeable, so he doesn't agree with younger students. He must be ridiculing. a few words."

"So that's the case, then what kind of imperial examination is he taking? Wait until he is seven or eighty and go straight to get the champion?"

"Yes, Miss Guan said the same thing. Hahahaha..." The teahouse was full of laughter, causing Guan Wenhai to smoke over his head and feel ashamed. Ji Chengyue sat in the corner and listened, her ears burning red. He also looked down on Miss Guan. He was really blind. Fortunately, those silly words were only mentioned to Xu Yayan, so they shouldn't have spread to her ears, right
