- After Yang Yi returned to the city, he immediately wrote a memorial to impeach some officials of the imperial court for their violent expropriation of land, which almost triggered a large-scale bloody conflict.
Zhang Dun couldn't help but laugh or cry after reading his memorial. Yang Yi looked like he was asking for life for the people, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a thief shouting to catch the thief!
After Zhang Dun thought about it for a moment, he understood what Yang Yi meant. Yang Yi was blaming him, the prime minister, for causing such a big disturbance by not thinking carefully and making improper arrangements, so he deliberately added fuel to the fire and made him angry.
The case is currently making a big fuss in Kaifeng Mansion. After Hu Zongyu, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, received the case, he became angry instantly. I don¡¯t know why he was angry. Anyway, he is bedridden now.
The trial of the case fell on the head of Kaifeng Mansion Shaoyin Su Shi.
When the powerful slaves returned to the city to file a complaint under Yang Yi's advice, some of them were only slightly injured. But on the way back to the city, many people's injuries suddenly became serious. After the case was handed over to Kaifeng Mansion, the next day Two others died from their injuries.
"These slaves of powerful people must have been beaten by the officers and soldiers, and they were seriously injured to death.
This matter involves hundreds of powerful families, and now that another person is killed, it will become a shocking case.
Su Dongpo was very worried. In the court, the father-in-law said that the public was justified, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was justified. Both sides insisted on the same thing.
The official responsible for surveying the land claimed that he did not order the beating, but on the contrary, he was beaten.
Yes, some officials were indeed beaten at that time, but those domestic slaves were very particular about how they struck. Most of the blows were in places like the stomach, which caused severe pain but did not leave any scars. Now in court, you say you were beaten. But no evidence could be found.
But the injuries of those domestic slaves were real and bloody. And two people really died. This comparison is extremely detrimental to the officials responsible for measuring the land.
Fortunately, they kept the rulers used to measure the land. After comparing them, the court was able to confirm that their rulers were fine.
But this does not mean that they can win the lawsuit. When the powerful servants came to the lobby, their tone changed. They did not say that the conflict was caused by the number of acres, but directly insisted that the officials who measured the land demanded bribes from them.
For example, Su Dongpo asked about Kang Qi from the Anlu County Prince¡¯s Mansion. Kang Qi burst into tears and said in the lobby: "Mr. Su, you have to make the decision for us. There are 4,021 acres and three centimeters of land in our Anlu County Prince's Mansion. After it was measured yesterday, those corrupt officials The dirty official said to the villain that if I honor them five hundred guan, I will change the number of acres in my house to 4,721 acres. If I don't honor them 500 guan, they will have to re-measure it. He also threatened It¡¯s hard to say how many acres will be re-measured. The villains refused to do such things that were against the law, so they argued with them. As a result, they actually invited the imperial army to beat the villains and so on. They are simply lawless!"
Hundreds of servants in the Anlu County Prince's Mansion also unanimously held this statement, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Su Dongpo was at a loss when faced with such a difficult case.
He thought about it except for the two parties involved. The only third-party witness in this matter is Yang Yi.
Of course, Yang Yi was probably not the only one who saw what happened. But who dares to take a dip in these muddy waters? At present, Su Dongpo has no other choice but to ask Yang Yi to testify.
He sent someone to the Expansion and Promotion Department of the Ministry of Rites to invite him. Shen Qing directly said that Yang Yi had gone to the Academy to handle daily affairs.
The officials of Kaifeng Mansion hurriedly ran to the Bachelor's College, but the people from the Bachelor's College said that Yang Yi had gone to the Privy Council.
?????????????????????? Well, considering our fate, Taifu Yang is also on the job of a deputy envoy to the Privy Council, so it is not surprising to go to the Privy Council.
"Who made this man the only witness? Then let's go to the Privy Council again. When we arrived at the Privy Council, we were told that Yang Yi had indeed been to the Privy Council, but had already left and went to Yiying Hall to teach the emperor.
Where is Yiying Palace? Is it possible that whoever wants to enter can enter?
It¡¯s better now. After going around all the yamen, my feet became weak from exhaustion. In the end, I could only look back and sigh!
The official in Kaifeng Mansion almost burst into tears on the spot, Taifu Yang, Taifu Yang, why do you hold so many official positions when you have nothing to do!
For Yang Yilai, Yiying Hall is a pure land. He teaches his son here and no one can disturb him. He just made two thousand coins outside the city yesterday, and today he bought an exquisite ship model for his eldest son.
This ship model is three feet high and three feet long. It is made of gold, silver and platinum paper. The hull is gold and the sails are silver. Even the little figures on the ship are made lifelike.
Zhao Jie fell in love with it as soon as he saw it. He looked at the ship model dryly and said, "Teacher, can you give this ship to me?"
"Your MajestyLike boats? Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"I like it, mentor. During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, I went to Jinmingchi to celebrate the naval parade. I rode a big dragon boat at that time, but I didn't think that big dragon boat was as beautiful as my mentor's boat. None of my big dragon boats were as beautiful. Beautiful sail.¡±
"Your Majesty, strictly speaking, your big dragon boat is not a boat, but a boat. A real boat should raise its sails, sail on the boundless sea, withstand the strong winds and waves, and be able to carry a person. The country¡¯s dream makes the country¡¯s footsteps never-ending, and only a ship like this can be called a ship.¡±
Zhao Jie may not understand the meaning of Yang Yi's words for a moment, so he listened carefully, with a bright light shining in his eyes.
Yang Yi couldn't help but reached out and patted his shoulder gently, and then said: "Your Majesty, please remember that the world is very big, and the territory of our Song Dynasty only accounts for a small part of the world. If the Song Dynasty is compared to a big ship, And Your Majesty is the one at the helm. Does Your Majesty want this ship to rot in a safe harbor, or do you want it to sail into the boundless ocean?"
Zhao Jie said without hesitation: "Of course let it sail to the boundless ocean."
"Why?"
"Because my teacher just said that a ship that does not sail to the sea is not a real ship."
"Yes, your Majesty must remember what he said today. A ship that does not sail to the sea is not a real ship. In the same way, a country that is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress cannot be considered a good country. "Lu Shi "Spring and Autumn Period." There is a saying: Running water does not rot, and door hinges do not become beetles. It moves. Your Majesty, a country is the same. It must make continuous progress to maintain its vitality and not perish. Have you remembered?"
"Teacher, I remember it."
Yang Yi has always spared no effort to instill this kind of thinking in his sons. Regardless of whether they really understand it or not, in short, he wants to burn this enterprising spirit into their minds from an early age.
Now Zhao Jie is no longer studying alone. In addition to Yang Rui, there are also Cai Bian's eldest grandson Cai Lin, Zheng Wang Pan Mei's fourth grandson Pan Yue, Wu Hui Wang Cao Bin's fifth grandson Cao Shen, Wu Wang Zhao Bai's son Zhao You Yi, there are five people to attend the reading.
Although the eldest among the five is only seven years old, they all come from wealthy families. The tutors were strict, while Yang Yi and Zhao Jie were talking, the five of them stood in the back obediently, not daring to interrupt randomly.
After bringing up the topic of ships with Zhao Jie, Yang Yi made a temporary decision not to teach "The Analects of Confucius" today, but to give a geography class instead.
He walked to his lesson plan, and the pretty and lovely Jasmine quickly came up to help grind the ink. She didn't need to do these small things herself;
She is now waiting for the imperial palace. He is responsible for waiting for imperial orders and is responsible for the daily life of Liu Qingjing and Zhao Jie's bedroom. His status in the palace is almost the same as that of Xiaoju, but he serves Yang Yi every time he has the opportunity. She still insisted on doing it herself.
After she finished the ink, Yang Yi gave her a slight nod, then picked up the pen and started drawing a map on the paper.
"Your Majesty. Come and take a look."
Zhao Jie and the other five people immediately gathered around him happily. Children are always restless. For them, as long as they don't have to sit still and listen to lectures. It's just a happy thing.
After Yang Yi finished the painting, he asked with a smile: "Does anyone know what I painted?"
"It's a map." The five people answered in unison.
"Yes, this is the map, this is the Song Dynasty, this is Korea, this is Nanyang, this is India, and this is Dashi, Byzantium, and the Mediterranean."
Yang Yi pointed at the map and told them about it. The five little guys listened with great interest. Yang Yi asked with a smile: "Did everyone see it? What is the map of the Song Dynasty?"
"Like a big rooster."
"Haha, what is this?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to the location of Daxinganling.
"This is a cockscomb."
"What about this?" Yang Yi pointed to the location of the Western Region again.
"This is the rooster's tail."
"What about here?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to Taiwan Island and Hainan Island.
"It's the two legs of a rooster."
This time Zhao Jie said nothing. He tilted his little head and looked at it again and said, "Well, Master, I don't think these look like the two feet of a big rooster."
"Then what do your majesty think they look like?" Yang Yi was surprised.
"Teacher, anyway, I don't think they look like the feet of a big rooster. Last time, my mentor took me out of the palace."
"Hush! Your Majesty, please be careful. When will Your Majesty leave the palace?"
"Oh, it's never happened, it's never happened, haha." Zhao Jie's silly smile was clearly trying to cover up, Jasmine and several palacesThe woman couldn't help turning her head away and snickering.
¡°Let¡¯s continue, why does Your Majesty think it doesn¡¯t look like a big rooster¡¯s feet?¡±
"Teacher, I have seen a big rooster. The legs of a big rooster are so long. Teacher, look, they are so short. They are not like the legs of a big rooster at all. The legs of a big rooster are so big and small. The legs of a big rooster can stand upright. Is it stable?"
After hearing Zhao Jie¡¯s words, Yang Yi was stunned. In later generations, Taiwan and Hainan Island were said to be the two legs of a rooster. Yang Yi remembered that this was what his teacher said when he was in elementary school;
But if you look at the world map carefully, you have to admit that Zhao Jie's childish words are true. China is so big, Taiwan and Hainan Island are so small, and the two feet of the rooster are indeed seriously unbalanced in proportion. Intuitively, they are It really couldn't support the huge body of the cock.
It would be more proportional to at least add Vietnam and the Philippines. Think of these two places as the two legs of a big rooster.
From a national political and military perspective, the rooster¡¯s two legs are too short, which will indeed make China unstable as Zhao Jie said.
Yang Yi asked expectantly: "Then where does Your Majesty think it looks like a big rooster's feet?"
Zhao Jie pointed his little hand towards the Indochina Peninsula and the Philippine Islands, and said happily: "Teacher, I think this is the big rooster's feet."
"Your Majesty is right, very right. You must remember what you said today. Without these two long legs, the big rooster cannot stand firmly, let alone walk."
Yang Yi smiled! Smiling so much.
