The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Xue Pan married Lin Daiyu

Xue Pan followed the little father-in-law to the imperial study in the palace.The little father-in-law went in to report, and Xue Pan waited outside with his head bowed.

Except for the few times I had an audience with the emperor with Xin Ke Jinshi, the last time I played against the emperor alone was when I handed over the secret book to Lord Lin.

At that time, the emperor was still living in the East Palace, and he was still a Juren.Three years later, the emperor secured the throne and became the number one scholar himself.

Time flies so fast, more than three years have passed in a blink of an eye.I don't know if the emperor still remembers himself.

Although I met the emperor a few times before, Xue Pan was the number one scholar and stood in the front row of the Xinke Scholars, but Xue Pan guessed that the emperor did not see his face clearly.As for the previous meeting, the emperor probably has long forgotten about himself, let alone recognized him, for a small person like himself.

This time is an opportunity, if I behave well and successfully let the emperor remember my relationship with Daiyu, it is very likely that the emperor will marry me and Daiyu.

After a while, the emperor announced him to go in.

Xue Pan knelt down to salute, and the emperor immediately called out.

In the past few days, the emperor has read all the information from other countries sent by the Lifan Academy.

Previously, the emperor boasted that the Daqing Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, and all nations came to court, and he never paid attention to these foreign countries.Looking at it from a different perspective now, he realized that the small barbarian country he thought had developed to this extent.

Some of these countries should not be underestimated.For example, the country of Frangji is thousands of miles away from the Daqing Dynasty, across the vast sea, and the people of Flangji came to Daqing on a large steel ship.

The big steel ship of the Frang machine, and the Fran machine gun is installed on the ship.These Frang machine guns are much smaller than the red cannons of the Daqing Dynasty, and their range is not as good as the red cannons, but the Flang machine guns are much more flexible than the red cannons. They can be mounted on a boat or pulled by a small cart to move around. , It is simply a sharp weapon when attacking a city.

The Red Cannon doesn't have this kind of mobility.

Moreover, the Lifan Academy also reported that some missionaries appeared in Guangzhou to spread their beliefs, such as God.

The emperor didn't care about it before, but now that all these news are collected, the emperor is terrified.

The Daqing Dynasty put the main force in the north to prevent the Tartars from looting, and regarded the Tartars as the confidant of the Daqing Dynasty.As for the rebellion of some Japanese pirates in the south, they are generally treated as mustard ringworm, and they are not taken seriously, because they are just a small group of bandits and do not harm the foundation of Daqing.

The vast sea area is the natural barrier of the Daqing Dynasty!

Unexpectedly, someone has already broken through this barrier, and is staring at the Daqing Dynasty on the opposite side of the sea!

This kind of thing, the emperor can't bear it!

Now that the Daqing Dynasty is now powerful and powerful, it can still deter these countries!What if one day the national strength of the Daqing Dynasty is not as good as it is now?What if one day the range of fire from the Frang machine gun exceeds that of the red cannon?

Thinking that there are some countries on the other side of the sea that are rising rapidly, and they know Daqing very well, but Daqing doesn't understand it at all, the emperor feels uneasy!

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep!

The emperor thought of the vast land on the other side of the sea, and felt a little hot in his heart.It is the long-cherished wish of every emperor who strives to govern.Who wouldn't want his achievements to be on par with Qin Huang Han Wu?Now that there is an opportunity, the emperor will naturally want to give it a try!

At the very least, it is necessary to find out the details of these foreigners.

The emperor asked Li Fanyuan to inquire about information about foreign countries, their countries, customs, geographical location, national power, size of ships, how many, whether they have firearms, etc.Bring some missionaries and Frenchmen over here, and the emperor wants to see them in person.

The emperor arranged all these things, and remembering Xue Pan, the number one scholar who first raised this question, asked his servant to announce Xue Pan.

The emperor asked Xue Pan to give a detailed introduction of his own strategy and the situation of foreign countries that he knew.

Xue Pan also went to Guangzhou to do business in his previous life, met some foreigners, and knew some of them out of curiosity.

Xue Pan's uncle, Xue Peng, once went to Xihai Yanzi personally, and did business with people from Zhenzhen Kingdom and Folangji Kingdom.Xue Peng and Xue Pan talked about their experiences in detail. Xue Peng was very envious of Frangji's ships and artillery. If there was no ban on seas, Xue Peng would also want to venture outside.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that Xue Pan wrote this policy after seeing Haijiang's question.

Xue Pan truthfully told what he knew and thought, and he and the emperor's thoughts coincided with each other.

The emperor asked: "What do you think about Haijiang?"

Xue Panzou said: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Foreign countries have traveled thousands of miles to Daqing, naturally because of profit. My minister's family used to be an imperial merchant, the world's most The business of earning money is trade, which is to buy and sell things that are available elsewhere but are scarce here. These foreigners like the silk, tea and porcelain from the Daqing Dynasty the most, and these things are also luxury in their countries. The pepper, glass, etc. that come over can be sold at sky-high prices in the Daqing Dynasty. This is profit! This is also the fundamental reason why they come and go to Daqing!"

Seeing that the emperor listened seriously, Xue Pan continued, "These foreigners dared to cross many oceans, risked their lives, and came to Daqing after passing through the islands full of pirates. Most of them are people who dare to fight. Weichen’s family had dealt with Frangji people. It is said that many people in their country like to explore at sea. If they meet some small countries on the coast, they will engage in colonialism. When they meet merchant ships from other countries at sea, they will sometimes become Pirates, plunder. In the Daqing Dynasty, they were considered to be the rules, because our Daqing army is strong, the country is rich and the people are strong."

"Therefore, these people in the sea don't talk about propriety, justice, shame, benevolence, justice and morality. They only talk about the weak and the strong. If the emperor wants to develop the sea, the most important thing is the navy! Only our force can overwhelm them, and there are sailors to protect the sea. Escort, naturally anyone in the world can go!"

The emperor laughed and said: "It's a good sentence that anyone in the world can go! Xue Qing is really the number one scholar!"

Xue Pan hurriedly said modestly: "My humble minister is terrified!"

The emperor felt that Xue Pan's thinking was similar to his own, so he formed a navy and then sent a fleet to the West.

The emperor is also a little different from what Xue Pan thought.

The emperor only wanted to promote Daqing's national prestige, and then spy on foreign intelligence.What the emperor hesitated was that the money for the sailors and the fleet was expensive, and it would add another sum of money to the treasury.

Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is rich all over the world, but they don't know that the emperor will also worry about the money in the treasury!

But now Xue Pan's words opened the emperor's mind.

It is profitable for foreigners to arrive in Daqing, so if the royal fleet of Daqing arrives in a foreign country, can they earn money back instead of spending money!

If so, the emperor decided to do it!

The emperor asked: "Are you sure the fleet can make money?"

Xue Pan replied: "As long as you choose the right cargo, choose the right route, and don't get lost in the sea, it will be profitable!"

Xue Pan was correct, and felt that the emperor was a wise ruler, and he didn't seem to convict his ministers with his words because of their inappropriate words, so he let go a little bit.Hearing what the emperor said, he had the idea of ​​letting go of the sea ban.

Seeing that the emperor was worried about money, Xue Pan thought for a while, and boldly remonstrated: "Your Majesty, when all nations come to court, they are talking about paying tribute. In fact, the rewards from my Daqing Dynasty are far more valuable than their tributes. The name of the tribute is traded with us, and it is still a stable transaction. Therefore, I thought, why not open the transaction, open the exchange market in several seaports, and increase the tax revenue. Just like the exchange market with the Tartars .”

The emperor smiled and said: "Xue Qing has a good idea. You go back and write a memorial of your own ideas and hand them over."

The emperor looked at Xue Pan more and more, and asked: "Is Xue Qing married?"

Xue Pan's heart tightened, and he replied, "Not yet married."

Xue Pan thought to himself: The emperor is not planning to marry him, is he?How should I bring the topic to Daiyu?If the emperor did not intend to marry Daiyu, how should I refuse so as not to offend the emperor.

The emperor looked at Xue Pan and sized him up carefully. He was young and handsome, tall and handsome, with something to say, and a top scholar.It's just a pity that I don't have a daughter of the right age.

The emperor looked at Xue Pan and felt that he had seen him before, so he asked, "Xue Qing, have I seen you before?"

Xue Pan intends to kneel down and confess his friendship with Daiyu, and beg the emperor to marry him, but he is afraid of damaging Daiyu's reputation, so he hesitates.Hearing the emperor's question, he felt relieved, and the emperor took the initiative to mention it, which was much better than mentioning it himself.

Xue Pan hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I sent the secret book for Lin Liehou three years ago, and I once paid a visit to Tianyan."

The emperor smiled and said: "So it's you! No wonder I see your familiar face."

The emperor thought of Lin Liehou, and couldn't help but think of Qingning County Lord.

The emperor counted the time, and Qingning has already passed the filial piety.

The emperor asked his father-in-law Su Sheng: "How old is Qingning now?"

Su Sheng had just heard Xue Pan talk about Lin Liehou, so he went through the things related to him in his mind, and when the emperor asked Qingning County Lord, he quickly replied: "Back to the Emperor, Qingning County Lord is now 16 years old. "

The emperor said to Xue Pan: "I remember that your family and the Lin family are family friends, and you travel thousands of miles, disregarding your own safety to deliver letters for Lin Liehou. You can be said to be loyal. Now that you are not married, I plan to give you the Qingning County Lord as a wife. I don't know what you think?"

Xue Pan was ecstatic when he heard the emperor's words, and quickly knelt down to thank him and said: "I thank the Lord for your kindness!"

The emperor smiled, it seems that the relationship between Zhuangyuanlang and Qingning was not simple.I really have piercing eyes to accomplish this matter.

This number one scholar will be of great use in the future.

As for Qing Ning's marriage, when Lin Ruhai entrusted Qing Ning to him, he was naturally responsible to the end.In Lin Liehou's memorial, he hoped that Qingning would "marry as a wife, and the husband and wife will live in harmony". Now that I marry her to the number one scholar, it is not an insult to her.

Lin Tanhua's son-in-law is the number one scholar, and it will be a good story in the future.

The emperor did not delay, and directly wrote an imperial decree, bestowing marriages on Xue Pan, the number one scholar, and Lin, the head of Qingning County.When I meet the queen later, ask the queen to prepare a dowry for Qing Ning, and marry Qing Ning off gracefully.

Thinking of Qingning, thinking of money, the emperor hated it. Those old ministers who owed money to the treasury really relied on their elders to sell their elders, procrastinating on paying back the money they owed, and all of them said that they had no money.

Ah!

Think back to the days when the concubines came to visit their relatives and built a family-visiting villa, which one was not wealthy?The family-saving villas built can catch up with the palace!

I don't expect you to donate all your property like Lin Ruhai, at least you will pay back the money you owe!

Thinking of this, the emperor was not in the mood to talk to Xue Pan anymore, and confessed: "You will hand over a memorial later and describe the situation in southern Xinjiang in detail. I will make the decree of the marriage in a while. "

Xue Pan left the palace in a daze.

If he was admitted to the No. [-] Scholar, he would be considered slightly drunk, but now, Xue Pan felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, feeling like he was completely floating.

In two lifetimes, he was finally able to justifiably hold Daiyu in his hands!

The emperor wrote an imperial decree and asked Su Sheng to declare it.

Su Sheng went to Rongguo Mansion, and Rongguo Mansion quickly opened the main door to welcome the angel, only to realize that the decree was for Daiyu.

Daiyu knelt at the front of the incense table, listening to Su Sheng read the will

Blessed by heaven, the emperor's imperial edict said: Lin, the head of Qingning County, is sensitive in nature, intelligent in nature, virtuous in etiquette, and gentle in example.Xue Pan, the No. [-] scholar in the seventh year of Mingde, was very virtuous, practiced through the Ming Dynasty, loyal and upright, and extraordinary magnanimity.The Lord of Qingning County and the number one scholar, talented and beautiful, are a match made in heaven. The Lord of Qingning County is specially bestowed as Xue Pan's wife, and they will marry on an auspicious day.Thank you!

Daiyu received the imperial decree, she was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just sent Su Sheng out politely.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was complicated. Although she didn't want Baoyu and Daiyu to be together, she hoped that Baoyu could marry a noble daughter who had family resources and Yue's family to rely on, but she was still very jealous of Daiyu's status as the county head.Now seeing Daiyu being married to someone else, my heart is complicated, and I feel a little disappointed and regretful.

And Jia Mu knelt on the ground to listen to the angel's decree, and when she heard that Daiyu was given to Xue Pan, after the angel left, Jia Mu's eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground.
