- Chapter 223 Making friends with foreign ministers (3)
Although Zaijun was unwilling to go to Japan, a land of alienation, he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he finally left with three steps at a time. Zailu and Zaiyun asked for an order to see them off, and watched the warship carrying Zaijun and others go away. , the two brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Third brother, I have been asking Emperor Ama for three days, and I still have time. If you are interested, why not go to the Governor's Yamen once?"
"I'm not going." Zai Lin shook his hand, with a helpless look on his face. In private terms, he is Li Hongzhang's son-in-law, but in public terms, they are completely different. Under such a delicate situation, it is better not to provoke those people in the melon field and Li Xia, "Let's go back to Beijing!"
"You," Zai Yan sighed, "how can you compare to Cai Yuandu if you don't even enter the house?"
Zai Lin didn¡¯t expect that his younger brother would joke with him, so he couldn¡¯t help but laugh loudly. This is an allusion¡ª¡ª.
Cai Yuandu's name was Cai Bian. He was the younger brother of Cai Jing and the son-in-law of Wang Anshi. At that time, Shenzong had collapsed and Zhezong succeeded to the throne. He asked officials to compile the "Records of Shenzong". Cai Bian presided over it. He revised and rewritten the "Records" based on Wang Anshi's diary. ", according to "Shao's Records of Insights", Cai Bian's "holiday record reduced the facts, and the writing was treacherous and false. He insulted Shenzong at the top and slandered the old ministers at the bottom, and completely changed the official history of Shenzong compiled by Yuan You."
Cai Bian's "filial piety" to his father-in-law Wang Anshi is really commendable. Under his instigation, Wang Anshi was named "King Shu" and was entitled to enjoy the Confucian Temple, ranking above Mencius and opposite Yan Zi. This was Cai Bian's single-handed promotion. ¡ª¡ªWang Anshi is a wise person, how can he be higher than Mencius? Therefore, not only the scholar-bureaucrats at the time expressed their dissatisfaction, but also the people were cold-hearted. There was a note at that time specifically to ridicule the father-in-law and his son-in-law.
This story is that there was an imperial banquet in the inner court, and the actors from the Jiaofang sang a drama. There were six characters in the play, namely Confucius, Mencius, Yan Hui, Wang Anshi, Confucius's student Zilu and his son-in-law Gongye Chang.
At the beginning, Confucius sat down, and Mencius, Yan Hui, and Wang Anshi stood aside. Confucius told his disciples to sit down, and Wang Anshi humbly yielded to Mencius. Mencius refused. He said, "I am just a Duke. My husband is a true king, so why should I be modest?" "In the Song Dynasty, Mencius was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Zou, while Wang Anshi was the 'King of Shu'. The king's title was greater than that of the duke, so Mencius was so humble.
So Wang Anshi offered his hand to Yan Hui and asked him to sit down, but Yan Hui refused. He said, "I am a common man from a back alley with no career in my life. My husband is a famous Confucian. How can I compare to him? You are too polite." "
As soon as Wang Anshi heard this, he was not suspicious. Confucius, who was sitting on the side seat, became a little uneasy. He wanted to ask Wang Anshi to sit upright. The king was very frightened and said he "dare not". But Confucius kept giving up his seat and asked Wang Anshi to sit down. After procrastinating, it seems that Confucius is really going to abdicate.
At this time, Zi Lu, who was in the hall, looked at it and felt indignant. He went inside and pulled out Chief Gongye and wanted to beat him. Chief Gongye asked in a low voice, "Why are you pulling me here? What mistake did I make?"
"You!" Zilu pointed at his teacher and Wang Anshi and said, "Your father-in-law is embarrassed, why don't you save him? Look at other people's sons-in-law?" This last sentence refers to Wang Anshi and Cai Bian.
The two brothers were walking back from the pier talking and laughing, and they were greeted by Gao Xinxie, "Greetings to you two Mr. Beizi."
"Bimei, it's been a long time since I saw you. I've been burdened with the errands this time."
"That's right." Zai Lin also said with a smile, "Lao Wu is the most family-loving person by nature. This time Huang Ama sent him to Japan, it is inevitable that he will be resentful. You don't want to be the same as him, right?"
"The third master is joking, how dare I?"
"Isn't Marshal Tsuen here?" Zai Yuan asked.
"Here, there is an urgent official matter in the capital, and Mr. General Xian cannot withdraw. This is why I have to accept my humble duty. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
"He is busy with official duties, so we brothers don't need to bother him too much." Zai Min winked at his younger brother and said, "Shall we say goodbye now?"
Gao Xinxie observed the words and expressions and knew that Zai Lin was angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Third Master, it's not that Mr. Zong Xian of my family is unreasonable, it's really"
"You don't have to worry too much. Our brothers are indeed busy. This time we came out of the capital. Emperor Ama has a decree. After finishing the errand, we will return to the capital immediately," Zai Yan said kindly, "It's not early now. We brothers have to hurry up and get on our way." He said, "Please report to Tsuen Shuai, and we can meet again in the capital in the future."
"Since the fifth master said this, I dare not stop him. I wish you two Beizi masters a safe journey." The two brothers and Gao Xinxie handed over their hands and boarded the car to drive away.
There was nothing to say on the way, and he replied to Beijing, because he was on an errand and had to go to the palace to reply to the order first. The emperor didn't want these two people to come back so quickly. He gave the two brothers three days. He thought he would go to Tianjin this time and take them there. Not to mention, Zai Ming always wanted to visit LiHongzhang, now it seems that this trip must be discordant, and it was immediately reported.
The two brothers entered the palace and knelt down to meet each other. "Xiao Si is gone?" the emperor asked with a smile, "I'm afraid you have some complaints about me as an Ama in your heart, right?"
"How can we fight for or avoid doing errands for the country because of our own preferences? My son thought, even if the fourth brother can't raise his body and mind for a while, when he goes to live in Japan for a while and does errands for a few days, he will understand. I am grateful for the cultivation of the Holy Spirit.¡±
"Xiao Si, he is no better than you two brothers. He is a confused person, but he has a loyal heart. This kind of person stays in the capital. When nothing happens, he looks like a playboy. But once something happens, he looks like a playboy. It is also the Qiancheng of the country!" The emperor did not hide his love for Zaijun and said with a smile, "You will know in the future."
"No one knows a son better than his father. The Emperor Ama has seen thousands of miles away. Regarding the fourth brother's comment, I think if the fourth brother can hear it, he should be convinced."
The emperor turned to ask, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to Tianjin this time? Didn't I say that you two brothers should rest for a few days?"
Zai Lin was at a loss for words, but Zai Yan hurriedly said, "My son is still a teenager, sharing the labor and relieving worries for Emperor Ama, and he doesn't feel tired. This time I sent Sibeile eastward. Although my son felt a little reluctant to give up, he thought about it. The father-son relationship between Huang Ama and Fourth Brother also wants to know the fourth brother's state of mind as soon as possible, so he urgently returns to the capital to report to Huang Ama. In addition to official business, it can also understand Huang Ama's father's heart."
The emperor sighed silently. He couldn't distinguish the truth from Zaiyan's words, but he felt very satisfied in his heart. "Okay, you and I, our dearest relatives, father and son, get up and talk."
Asking the two brothers to stand up, the emperor smiled and said, "Recently, Wen Bin, the governor of Liangjiang, requested a letter of ten thousand words, saying that the people in the south of the Yangtze River admired my glory in the south and wanted to invite me to visit the south again. After thinking about it, it is still not appropriate. Needless to say, the war between China and Japan has ceased, the treasury is empty, and the people¡¯s expenses are getting tight; but there is no such layer"
He shook his hand, and his legs fell to the ground. Zailin knelt down, picked up his boots and stepped on them for Nai's father. "Even without this layer, the emperor's patrol would be avoided if possible! Apart from this, this trip , Think about it, how much money the court had to spend? In the seventh year of Xianfeng, the amount of money reimbursed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was more than 10 million taels! I didn¡¯t know it at the time, but I was shocked when I heard about it afterwards!"
Hearing his father¡¯s clear voice and bursts of laughter from time to time, the two Zailin brothers looked at each other and suddenly knelt down behind the emperor, ¡°Huang Ama, my son has something to say.¡±
"oh?"
"My son is thinking, Emperor Ama has been in power for thirty years, and the world has been in great rule. Now he has expanded his territory outside the territory, and all the people are dancing. Although the state has been wasted, it is not a big deal. Moreover, our Qing Dynasty is like the sun in the sky, and all directions Come to serve, the annual income is nearly 20 million, and the prosperity of all kinds of civil and military achievements is far superior to that of the previous pilgrim saint. Not only the people in the south of the Yangtze River, I think, the people in all provinces in the world are looking forward to the saint's arrival"
"So I believe that it is absolutely necessary for Emperor Ama to return to Nanxing again, and he must show the majesty of our Qing Dynasty and spread far and wide, so that it can be said to be reasonable."
The emperor was noncommittal and asked Zaiyuan, "Fifth elder brother, what do you think? Does your third elder brother's words make sense?"
How dare Zaiyun say it¡¯s unreasonable? My father's intention was very clear. He was really moved, but he couldn't speak directly. He wanted many ministers and brothers to give advice before he could agree. After following what the third brother said, Zaiyan rolled his eyes and said something else, "That's what I said, but my son thought, long live Nan Xing, this matter is big and must be managed by all parties, and there must be no negligence." . The trip cannot be accomplished in one day. I will ask the Emperor Ama¡¯s will to handle this matter"
"Oh, that's not possible." The emperor blurted out, "Your talent is not here, not to mention that the prince is out of the capital on business. It will be a lot of trouble, so let's discuss it again."
Zaiyun didn¡¯t understand what these words meant. How could it be called a lot of trouble? How could it be called further discussion? He touched his head vaguely.
The emperor put the matter aside for the time being and said, "It's a pity for me, but I heard from your second brother that his new concubine named Hui'er is also pregnant. What about you? Do you have a good letter?"
Pu'er refers to Zaiying's eldest son Pu?. When he was four years old, he fell ill and died suddenly. Even the imperial doctor could not find out what the disease was. Zaiying and Fujin were sad for a long time. Fortunately, Keiko he brought back from Japan - renamed Hui'er - has received good news recently, and the couple's frown has eased.
When Zaiyuan heard his father ask about this, his fair face turned red, "My son was about to tell Ama that Wu is also pregnant."
"Oh?" The emperor was really happy, "This is a great thing, okay! Does your mother know about it?"
"It's not time for a son to report to his mother."
"You should tell her that you will go with me later."??¡±
Zai Lin sighed in his heart. Although he got married later than Zai Lin, he already had a son and a daughter in his house. However, his father didn't ask about it. This shows that the Sacred Heart belongs to two people. They are also the sons of Huang Ama. So partial? Or is it just because one of these two people was born by a beloved concubine and the other is a legitimate son?
For a moment, I felt at a loss and followed behind my father and younger brother.
