[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Shen Yue looked at the several princes who bowed and called him husband together, and heaved a long sigh.He knew that he had talked too much today, and beside the princes, especially the eldest prince, there might be that secret guard who never sees the end of the dragon.What you say will soon reach today's ears, which can easily cause dissatisfaction among today's people.

But if these princes are not awakened, this empire is likely to fall into a new round of struggle for succession.

At first, he only wanted to live his little life with Dai Yuan, but as he stepped into the court, this dream became far away.So Shen Yue thought again, do a little more, so that he won't travel in vain.But if there is a new round of battle for the throne, his wish will be shattered.

So Shen Yue was already gambling when he came up with the idea of ​​letting the princes find faults in each department.Today, he is gambling even more.

Seeing that the princes didn't understand why he sighed, Shen Yue sighed again: "I'm going to see the saint now, please forgive me!"

Now he is furious.

I value the boss very much, and I didn't hide that I treat the boss differently from other sons.But after all, the eldest son has not been established as the crown prince yet, so Shen Yue dared to instigate the remaining sons to stop fighting, and persuaded them to take the initiative to take the eldest son as the leader. What is his majesty?

Who will succeed the next emperor should be the only one who can make the decision. Shen Yue dared to speak falsely about the candidate for the throne at such a young age. Who gave him the courage?

Looking at Shen Yue who was kneeling silently below him, his expression was changing now and then.

Silence, there is only silence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.This silence gradually pressed down on Shen Yue who was kneeling on the ground like a big mountain.Gao Fu, who was affected, wanted to shrink himself into a speck of dust, so that the saint would not notice him, so as not to be silenced directly.He looked at Shen Yue with both admiration and sympathy, this little Master Shen, who can still kneel so straight now, is so courageous.But talent is talent, and the heart is also good, but it is not all good things to think too much and have too much courage.

"Shen Yue, you're not a fool." After a long time, he uttered a sentence in a low voice, but he kept lingering in the hall, hitting Shen Yue's eardrums for a long time.

Shen Yuezao had already calmed down, and kowtowed to the superior present: "Yes, I know that the sage is a Mingjun."

Today's eyes are shrinking again, am I a Mingjun?Which emperor doesn't want others, especially history books, to have a brilliant stroke, and be called a declarant when the coffin is finalized?

Don't look at every time the courtiers chanted "Shangshang Shengming" together, but now they are very clear that it is just flattery.But today, Shen Yue actually said in front of his face that he is a Mingjun.Could it be that this kid knew that he had committed the crime of genocide and wanted to flatter him?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer now: "Ming Jun? Do you think Ming Jun won't kill people, get involved, or vent his anger?"

Shen Yue's voice was very sincere: "I naturally know that with Li Shimin's knowledge, he also dug Wei Zheng's tomb, and with Wu Zhao's knowledge, the Li family is in danger of falling."

Now continue to sneer: "So you still know."

Shen Yue paused again: "I already knew when I talked with the princes that brothers should be of the same heart. The reason why I dare to speak out to the princes is because the saint is a wise king."

Now he no longer sneered, but waited for Shen Yue to give him an explanation.This is Shen Yue, don't talk about explaining if you are another person, just send him to Dali Temple for a beating before talking.Shen Yue knew that he would have such an opportunity to explain, so he dared to speak his mind to the princes so boldly.

"Saint, please look, this is a servant of my minister, and I bought it from a sea merchant in the South China Sea." Shen Yue held the folded paper over his head, and Gao Fu could no longer pretend that it didn't exist, and stepped forward to accept it. Take the paper and send it to the royal case.

Today, I unfolded the paper layer by layer, and found that it was actually a map.However, this map is different from the geomancy of his own country, and he didn't even find the location of the empire.After looking carefully, I discovered the outline of the empire. It was precisely because of the discovery that I gasped today.

His empire, the splendid country he was proud of, only occupied a small area on this map.This place is not the center of the world that he has always thought, it seems to be a peaceful corner.He is the co-lord of the world, but the master's is only such a small piece of land?If he doesn't believe it now, he thinks this picture must be fake.

I don't want to believe it, so I can only ask Shen Yue now: "What does this have to do with your rebellious words with the princes?"

Shen Yue still paused: "Sage, this is a sea merchant who went to sea. It was obtained from foreigners. There is absolutely no falsehood. You should have seen that outside the territory of our country, there are powerful enemies around. Those countries or It borders me, or there is a sea across it. But according to the people I sent to the south to talk to the merchants, I learned that those countries that are separated from us by the sea are now able to build large ships and run across the sea."

Build a big ship and sail across the sea?Now I can't help asking: "What does that have to do with our country?"

Shen Yue had to popularize it to the present. He deduced the progress of the development of this era: Although European countries have not yet begun to colonize on a large scale, they have already entered the eve of the age of great navigation. The Renaissance is about to rise, and capitalism has appeared in various countries. In the near future, the western powers that have experienced the primitive accumulation of the age of great voyages may break open the gate of the empire with the strength of their ships and cannons.

"You are scaremongering!" How can you easily believe it today?

Shen Yue has only one request: "The sage, please send competent officials to the coast of the South China Sea, and don't reveal your identity to inquire with those who went to sea. Of those who went to sea with them, only three out of ten will be able to return home. Those who died were the ones who died in the storm." There are many people, but there are still many people who were robbed and dumped at the bottom of the sea.”

"Ask again whether there are foreigners in the countries they pass by, and whether the weapons used by those foreigners are all firearms as I said. Is the speed of the boat faster than that of our country, and whether it can withstand wind and waves twice as much as ours? ship."

It turned out to be the case, now that Shen Yue's words are so convincing, he can't help but feel dubious, he will let people find out this, maybe he will send people to those countries to have a look.Anyway, Shen Yue can collect this picture, and he can collect it even more. When the time comes, a pair of proofs will tell whether it is true or not.If it is true, now that I have a map in hand, it is easy to go to those countries to see if what Shen Yue said is true or not.

So now I'm back to the topic: "This is not the reason for you to provoke the prince."

Shen Yue knelt down in front of the case again: "After I got the map and reported the letter to my subordinates, I was very anxious. If it is true what those maritime merchants said, it will only take a dozen or 20 years for foreigners to develop. Saints, ten or 20 years later, The saint has..."

Needless to say, I can think of it now, and it may not be a big problem for me to live another 20 years. At that time, I have to consider the issue of successors.At that time, others will develop, but it is time for our own country to start a new round of battle for succession.

Only those who have experienced it know how much energy, material and financial resources this battle for the heir apparent consumes.In order to get the upper hand, all the people involved will do everything possible. When the time comes, foreign troubles will come and internal troubles will flourish. This empire will be in danger!

Shen Yue continued: "Now that the princes are working together, I think it is a blessing for the country, the people, and the sage. Why don't the sage take advantage of the time when the princes are united and let them develop the empire with all their strength, instead of internal friction? ? That's why I dare to tell the princes that they should be of the same mind, instead of continuing to take the road of seizing the throne."

Today's gaze, as if wanting to penetrate Shen Yue's head, to see what else he is thinking about besides these: "The countries you mentioned, since they have already taken the lead, how should we catch up?"

Shen Yue seemed to have a plan in mind: "Learn from the barbarians' skills to rule the barbarians."

Shen Yue also has his own point of view on how to be a master of barbarians.Borrowing doctrine is necessary, but you can't blindly rely on what you get.Fortunately, in this era, European countries do not have much awareness of patent protection, so they send young students to go abroad, set foot on the European continent, and learn their advanced technology. Just come to their own country and let them continue their research in their own country.

We must not only rely on imported ready-made materials.Regarding this point, Shen Yue emphasizes and emphasizes to the present day that the things you buy can be used immediately, but if you don’t master the technology, you are under the control of others. Only by cultivating talents and researching and developing by yourself can you always maintain the initiative.

Today I understand this truth, but I also have his worries: "Students are only thinking about being an official with an imperial examination background, so how can they be willing to learn a lowly profession." Craftsmen are still inferior people in this era.

Shen Yue then said that he could pick some children from artisan backgrounds, train them from an early age, teach them to read and write, and then send them out, so that they can read and write, and they would be grateful to the court.If he promises that after returning to China after his studies, he can be awarded an official position. The official position does not need to be too high, and it can be guaranteed that those people will definitely return to the country to serve.

With such a question and answer, Shen Yue's lunch is always used in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eldest prince knelt down with his seven younger brothers, thinking that after Shen Yue came out, he would enter the hall to intercede for him.Who knew that while he was kneeling, the eunuch had already entered the palace with the meal, which made the princes look at each other involuntarily.

"Brother, shall we go back to eat or not?" The fifth prince swallowed while looking at the food the eunuch was carrying, the time they knelt was quite long.The little eunuch also quietly reported it to Gao Fu, why did the emperor ignore him?Could it be that he was really angry with Shen Yue, and punished people like himself with him?

The eldest prince shook his head: "Shen Yue's words are all for me. If the father blames me, I will bear it all. You go back." Shen Yue's daughter-in-law is his nominal sister, and Shen Yue's father-in-law is My son's husband, even if the eldest prince told others that he had never heard of Shen Yue's remarks, would anyone believe him?

None of the princes got up to leave, they followed Shen Yue to do things several times, and Shen Yue did not do anything for his own self-interest.Even today's remarks are to remind my brothers not to fight against the wall and let others benefit from it. It is too unpopular for them to leave at this time.

They didn't know that it was this kneeling that made them go down in the history books along with the famous "Cultivating the Heart and Asking the Government".Now these brothers are still quietly changing their kneeling positions from time to time to relieve the pressure on their knees.

Can you not know that your son is kneeling outside the temple today?But he just doesn't want them to get up: a bunch of bastards, dare to look down on the seat he has earned so hard, and don't let them kneel down, really think he can't cure them, right?

The courtiers also knew that the princes were kneeling outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they didn't dare to show their faces, but they were all secretly proud of themselves-don't look at the sage's agreement at the court meeting to continue to find the faults of the various ministries, but he must be concerned about the princes. I'm also dissatisfied, why not even the eldest prince also kneel down?

Even the second prince, who was studying in the upper study room, got the news. Taking advantage of the time for lunch, he deliberately ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to express his concern to the brothers: "Brothers, what's wrong, why did you provoke me?" Your father is angry? Wait until I go in to persuade my father and plead for my brothers." They were all punished and knelt down, so my father should remember his filial piety and let him return to the court to listen to the government, right?

The eldest prince's expression didn't change a bit when he heard the second prince's words of concern and sarcasm, and he even smiled and said to him, "Thank you."

Like the first prince, there was only one fourth prince who couldn't see the change in his expression. His face would not have several expressions throughout the year, and it was quite normal for him to remain unchanged now.The other princes couldn't do it, they all looked at the second prince and wanted to slap him directly.

The eldest prince still knelt there silently, it would be more perfect if he could save a clear cough.It was also this clear cough that made the face of the second prince, who was a little complacent, change. The brothers who just wanted to come up and bite him, all lowered their heads under the clear cough of the boss, and no one It's up to you.

If you don't look at it, don't look at it, as long as the father is willing to look at me.With this momentum, the second prince immediately wanted to step into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Unexpectedly, the little eunuch guarding the gate dared to stop him: "Back to the second prince, the saint is discussing the state affairs, and no one is allowed to disturb him. If you want to see me, please kneel down and wait for the holy will."

The second prince couldn't believe it: "It's already lunch time, father's dragon body is important, which adult is so inconsiderate of the saint, and doesn't know that he is resigning?"

The little eunuch didn't hide it: "It's Master Xiao Shen from the Imperial Academy."

Hearing that it was only Shen Yue, the second prince waved his hand to the little eunuch indifferently: "Go in and report to Emperor Father, just say that I heard that Emperor Father was angry today and came here specially to explain."

Hearing his powerful words, the little eunuch couldn't figure it out, and remembered that the second prince seemed to have visited the Hall of Mental Cultivation a few times during the Chinese New Year, and the saint had seen him every time, so he bent over and slipped in by the wall Go back to Gao Fu first.

Gao Fu didn't dare to make up his own mind, and whispered to the present, "Second prince, please see the saint."

Even when I was having dinner with Shen Yue today, I was still discussing with him how to improve production efficiency, reduce redundant staff, and attract people to leave the countryside, etc. When I heard Gao Fu's words, I waved my hand indifferently: "Didn't you see that I am going to the village?" Busy, no see."

Only at this time did Shen Yue think of the other princes: "I'm afraid that this matter is not thought out by the minister alone. It is better for the ministers to brainstorm with the princes. Since the princes are all outside, why don't you come in and discuss together? "

Today's nausea gave Shen Yue a hard look, and said to Gao Fu: "Go and tell those evil sons, all of them will go back to the mansion for self-examination. When you figure it out, give me a book."

Gao Fu's mouth was a little smaller than Shen Yue's, and he could still ask softly: "Second Prince?"

Now he has put down his chopsticks: "Isn't he my son? Others can introspect, why can't he introspect?"

Seeing that Shen Yue opened his mouth, he now thought that he wanted to intercede for the second prince, so he waved his hand directly to prevent him from saying: "If we want their brothers to be of the same mind, then we should let them share joys and sorrows. The second child is no exception."

You are his father, you have the final say.Shen Yue would not make unnecessary struggles for the second prince, thinking in his heart that what he had to say was pretty much what he had to say, and he would be able to retire if he won the honor of having a meal with the present, right?

Unexpectedly, when he asked for resignation, today he directly told him: "From tomorrow on, you will go to the Ministry of Officials to do business, and help Lao Wu clean up the Ministry of Officials first."

Can Shen Yue be willing?He thought of a reason: "Sage, the minister's uncle is still serving as the servant of the official department." Should I avoid it?

Now I look at him like a fool: "You are still a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy." Going to the official department is a job, so you can see your position clearly.

What can Shen Yue do besides respond?What's more, after he left, he directly called several senior scholars from the cabinet and Lin Ruhai into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and worked together as Shen Yue said.

Regarding why Lin Ruhai appeared here, the academicians are all clear in their hearts-this is telling them now, express your attitude quickly, whether you are willing to act according to your orders, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, just say it, people Someone here is already ready to replace you.

Xueshi Shen's heart was particularly shaken. He knew about Shen Yue's visit to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the morning, and he also knew about the princes kneeling outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.If those two things had nothing to do with what the sage said now, Xueshi Shen would not be able to say it himself.However, if two things are related to what the sage said, the sage did not mention a word.

While scolding Shen Yue in his heart for being able to cause trouble, he felt a little emotional: the sage is still defending Shen Yue, so he believed at least half of what he just said, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned them all.

Even the sages protect it with all their heart, and that one is also his grandson. Xueshi Shen adheres to his old-fashioned style, and suggests that he should send people to the coast of the South China Sea to collect information from the sea merchants: "The sea is windy and the waves are rough, so send people directly Going to sea, I don’t know how many years to come back, it’s better to collect some information first.”

After listening to it today, he also nodded. This is indeed a safe idea.However, Shen Yue's words still hit his mind from time to time, and there was always a feeling that he couldn't wait for time: "A few years ago, the household department has completed the settlement of debts, and the treasury still has some money, so send more people out. Didn't Shen Yue collect a lot of money?" The book of manufacturing, see if there is anything that can be used for shipbuilding, and try to build it. The matter of collecting information must be paid close attention."

Under the orders of Shen Xueshi, he took a step back, and now he turned his finger on Lin Ruhai: "I think Shen Yue is just compiling books, he is too free, and he is a bit inferior. I have already ordered him to go to the Ministry of Officials to help the fifth child. Light him up."

Lin Ruhai's eyebrows were almost twitched, why is there something about Shen Yue?He became a fine person like this, and immediately connected several things together, and then wanted to pick himself out: "The household department and the official department are not under each other's control, and I am afraid that I have nothing to teach him."

Today gave Lin Ruhai a meaningful look: "That's a bridleless horse, you'd better hold it by the side. What's more, you are the emperor's eldest grandson's husband." After finishing speaking, he didn't continue this topic, turned his head and continued talking to others. The scholars discussed the division of labor, regardless of how much the scholars heard the sage say today that Lin Ruhai was the words of Mr. Huang Changsun, which caused a lot of trouble in their hearts.

Shen Yue didn't know that after he left, he directly summoned the great scholars, and after returning to the Imperial Academy, he called Zhang Yi over: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come to supervise the compilation of books from time to time, so please watch over me." gone."

Zhang Yi nodded firmly: "Don't worry, my lord, the regulations are all there. If anyone dares to reach out, I will report to you in time."

Shen Yue still couldn't feel relieved, so he called more than a dozen people who participated in the compilation of the book together, saying that he would go to the Ministry of Officials to help for a period of time, and that during his absence, everyone would try their best to compile the book, etc.

Hearing that Shen Yue went to the Ministry of Officials to help, the eyes of those who compiled the books were all wrong. They were originally Hou Que's people, and they were selected to come to the Imperial Academy to help compile the books, which is regarded as an official.Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao Shen went directly to the Ministry of Officials to help.Which official doesn't know the prestige of the official department?It would be nice if I could take myself with me.

Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Shen Yue drew a big pie for them: "My lords, just compile the book with peace of mind, and Shen Yue can assure you that once the book you compile is completed, it will be a blessing to the common people. Even if the book does not mention it, the sage will also remember everyone's contributions."

It's not that Shen Yue didn't say such things to them before, and some people thought that Shen Yue was talking big.Now that Shen Yue went to the official department to help out as a bachelor's student, the weight of repeating these words was much heavier.The book editors expressed their determination to Shen Yue that they would compile the book as soon as possible.

However, Shen Yue told them that haste makes waste. This book must be handed down to the world, and it must stand the test of time. Everyone must work steadily and steadily. They cannot just use any prescription without even verifying it in order to complete the task of compiling the book. Take them all in.

After he finished talking about everything he could think of, he went to the old official of the household department sent by the sixth prince: "In the future, you have to discuss with Zhang Yi about the matter of collecting money from the printing house here. The accounts must be Clearly, every penny has to have a source and a destination, otherwise I can talk about it here, and the household department and the princes may not let you go."

That old official has become an idiot, and he didn't think about making money when he was sent by the sixth prince. He repeatedly expressed to Shen Yue that he would cooperate with Zhang Yihaosheng, and he would definitely not let people make false claims.

But Shen Yue also told him that the necessary expenses cannot be wiped out, otherwise those who compiled the book would have no money to verify anything, when will this book be compiled?

There is a clue about the foreign affairs, Shen Yue has no choice but to go back to the scholar's mansion - Shen Xin is the right servant in the official department, Shen Yue has to find out whether his own uncle is in the hands of others.If so, if the nephew finds out about his uncle, the Shen family's reputation will be ruined.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I've been thinking about what kind of ending I should give the second prince. Do you have any ideas?One thing to keep in mind, Shen Yue doesn't like to see him, very much.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
