Chapter five hundred and eighteenth nonsense country
Examinations are a form of entertainment that Shandong elders love to see.
Especially after entering school, you still have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, become a court official, and eat a portion of the royal food, which is even more amazing.
You see, Shandong has never produced an emperor, but we have produced a saint. At present, the second saint is probably from Shandong.
The people of Shandong are loyal. Even the bandits in Shandong are different from other places. They only want to conquer Zhao'an. They are loyal and brave.
If you set up a top school in such a place and start recruiting students, you can imagine the effect.
Mao Gui has been operating in Shandong for many years, and his contribution is not insignificant. He has indeed preserved the vitality of Shandong and saved millions of people.
Otherwise, Shandong will not be much better than Henan after experiencing fierce wars, constant tug-of-war, and a declining population.
At present, there are tens of thousands of scholars in Shandong, and thousands of young people can take the exam and strive to enter Fudan School. This is absolutely great news.
At least the gap between north and south will not be so irreparable.
Zhang Ximeng was in a good mood. Compared with the complicated government affairs, he really wanted to stay in the school and be a peaceful teacher. Being with students would make him look much younger.
It's just that there are some bad things that you can't avoid even if you want to.
For example, Lao Zhu recently sent a letter asking Zhang Ximeng what he thought of Goryeo... What else could he think of? What about waiting to attend the funeral and write a eulogy?
In fact, Zhang Ximeng and Mao Gui said that they wanted to throw some thorns away from Korea, which was also caused by this incident...
Speaking of which, the root of everything is still the Great War in the Central Plains. Chahan Timur was killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were almost wiped out. When things got to this point, everyone knew that the Yuan Dynasty was already Emperor Su Shun, and there was not much time left.
Already.
As a good eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty, Gao Li said that the dog father was incompetent and he was stabbed by the child!
Therefore, the King of Korea sent an envoy across the ocean to Jinling, asking to see Zhu Yuanzhang in the hope of recognizing a new father.
Because of this, another dispute arose in Yingtian over how to treat Goryeo.
The Ministry of Rites, in charge, believed that the Yuan soldiers invaded Goryeo, plundered women, plundered wealth, exploited and bullied them, and committed all kinds of evil.
The people of Goryeo were deeply affected and suffered unspeakably.
People have the same mind and the same principles.
The Ming Dynasty should be kind to Goryeo, help them regain their country, and expel the Yuan soldiers. It would be better for the two families to form a permanent alliance, live in peace, and maintain peace on the border.
This suggestion was immediately approved by many officials in Zhongshu Province, who thought it was very good.
The Yuan Dynasty treated the barbarians harshly, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. The Ming Dynasty should be generous and merciful, use gentle methods to calm people's hearts, and stabilize the world.
Some people even suggested that a country without conquests could be established to show the grace of God.
When this suggestion was made, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to be in Kaifeng presiding over the relief work for the Central Plains. Zhang Ximeng was also busy with the new equalization of land, getting married, issuing national bonds, and arranging for soldiers to go to the village community. He really had no time to take care of it.
Overseas matters.
I have to say that Li Shanchang is still keen.
Although he heard the people below him talk about it very much and it was very reasonable, Li Shanchang always remembered that Guan Duo's Northern Expedition was highly valued by Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Does forming an alliance with Goryeo mean abandoning Guan Duo and the others?
If that's the case, can Zhu Yuanzhang agree?
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is still easy to handle, but the most important thing is Zhang Ximeng. If he finds out the reason and ridicules his stupidity, then his position in the Ministry of Education may really be lost.
So Li Shanchang suppressed it and did not report it. He just asked the people below to discuss and see what should be done!
The results were without exception. The more they discussed, the more inclined they were to the opinion of the Ministry of Rites. Some people even clamored to send troops to help Goryeo and expel the Yuan army.
Once it succeeds, Gao Li will definitely be grateful. From now on, he will change his mind, be an honest man, and be a good son of the Ming Dynasty.
Having a loyal younger brother can light a fire behind Yuan Ting's butt. No matter how you put it, it's Qin Shihuang who wins by eating Sichuan peppercorns!
It's impossible for the superiors to disagree.
In fact, if the Fudan Academy incident had not happened, issues related to Goryeo would have become the focus of discussion between the government and the public, and a set of strategies would have to be finally formulated.
"Who is the Minister of Rites? Did he take money from the Koreans?"
Zhang Ximeng was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "A country that has not conquered yet? That's nonsense! Who came up with this stupid idea of tying one's own hands and feet? As a superior country, our power is unlimited! If the children are disobedient, we must be ruthless."
Beat me hard, don’t you even understand this? The Ministry of Rites should be put in jail!"
Liu Bowen patiently listened to Zhang Ximeng's words and said with a strange expression: "Xiang Zhang, don't worry, the Minister of Rites has already taken it... right in Qufu!"
Qian Yongren!
OK, it’s you asshole again!
Why are you always there?
Zhang Ximeng was furious and immediately ordered his subordinates to sneak the money in Renti.
Not long after, Qian Yongren came.
This person had no idea why Zhang Ximeng called him. He just thought that he had worked hard in compiling the book and got the approval of Prime Minister Zhang. Most likely, he wanted to reward himself with something.
In fact, it doesn’t need to be too expensive. Just like Mao Pingzhang, he would be satisfied if he could only eat a meal of Confucius’ dishes.
The chefs of the Kong family are unmatched even in the imperial palace.
Qian Yongren was full of joy, but when he came in, he saw Zhang Ximeng's livid face and his cannibalistic eyes.
Qian Yongren was now frightened.
"Mr. Zhang, is there a mistake in the book? I, I will correct it right now!" Qian Yongren's legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.
Zhang Ximeng snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about the book. I think you are quite familiar with the affairs of Goryeo. How about I let you be responsible for handling it?"
Dealing with the affairs of Goryeo?
Do you want to get yourself promoted?
"Xiang Zhang, of course I am willing to be humble, but I don't know how to deal with it."
Zhang Ximeng smiled, "You don't know? I heard that you are very familiar with the situation in Korea! You are quite knowledgeable. Tell me and let me hear it."
Qian Yongren was frightened, Zhang Ximeng's words were not good, and he was angry. This can be felt.
But he still couldn't figure out what it had to do with Gao Li.
"Xiang Zhang, I have a humble position. I only have a superficial knowledge. I am very superficial. I think that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The most important thing in dealing with two countries is heart-to-heart communication. The Ming Dynasty is a superior country and should be treated with benevolence and justice. Koryo will definitely repent and no longer follow the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan, from then on, he devoted himself to being a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Ximeng lowered his face and suddenly said: "Then tell me, how should we treat him with kindness and justice? Do you have any valid ideas?"
Qian Yongren hesitated slightly, but said, "Prime Minister Zhang, Goryeo hopes that the imperial court can help them do three things... One is to expel the Yuan soldiers so that they can recuperate. The other is to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty, which is justifiable.
.Third, I want to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help them drive away the bandits and stabilize the northern border."
Zhang Ximeng said quietly: "So, do you think you can agree to these three items?"
"Humble post, humble post thinks that it seems possible to negotiate, such as driving away Yuan..." Qian Yongren muttered, but when he looked at Zhang Ximeng, his brows stood up, and Qian Yongren knelt on the ground in fright.
"Prime Minister Zhang, you are stupid because of your humble position. You don't understand anything because of your humble position. Please forgive me, Prime Minister Zhang." After saying this, he lay on the ground and kowtowed as hard as he could.
Zhang Ximeng is indeed still angry. He is not targeting Qian Yongren personally. After all, with Zhang Ximeng's current status, it is really difficult to make him lose his composure.
What he can't stand is the mentality of these idiots. What's going on in your brains?
Why are they all such idiotic ideas!
"Qian Yongren, let me ask you, what would the Han Dynasty do if faced with provocation by barbarians?"
Qian Yongren was stunned for a moment. He had read the Eight Classics seriously, so he knew clearly that he would be punished even though he was far away.
And usually, it was not the turn of the barbarians to provoke the Han Dynasty. According to the style of the Han Dynasty, they usually sent an envoy there, and then the envoy was provocative like crazy, repeatedly jumping over the enemy's base, trying to give the enemy a hard blow.
Yes, if it is done, it will naturally become famous all over the world.
If you fail to do so, you will even be captured by the enemy and killed... That would be even better. The Han army that is ready to attack will tell you the consequences of killing Han envoys without permission.
A strong man like this, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he did not give in too much. One man destroyed a country, which was done by the Tang Dynasty. The most exaggerated thing is that this man has made such a great contribution, but he has not received much reward. After all, it is just destroying the country, it is a trivial matter.
, which general of the Tang Dynasty, who could not destroy several countries, is also worthy of being called a famous general?
So it’s not really about breast-feeding, it’s just that what they did was too embarrassing.
You don’t have to think about destroying the country. You can go on a mission and only pay a few hundred thousand two-year-old coins, and you can be regarded as a hero and brag about it. If Prime Minister Cao gets the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix of the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that after a thousand years, he will
No one will know that Chibi was defeated.
The Tang and Song Dynasties were two completely different worlds, with completely different ways of dealing with things, and people's modes of thinking were also completely different.
What the Han and Tang Dynasties wanted was to beat you until you were convinced. After Zhao and Song, no matter whether you were convinced or not, my money would be given. Then I would declare to the outside world that all the barbarians had surrendered. Anyway, no matter whether outsiders believed it or not, they themselves believed it.
That's enough.
"Qian Yongren, do you know who the queen of Yuan Ting is?"
"Yes, she is a Korean woman, Qi family!"
"Okay, then, who is the eunuch who is doing random things and causing trouble to Chao Gang in the Yuan Palace?"
"Yes, Pu Buhua is also a eunuch from Goryeo."
Qian Yongren was sweating on his forehead and kowtowing loudly.
"Prime Minister Zhang is here, I'm humble, I'm humble. I'm humble. It's just nonsense. When dealing with barbarians, you must use force to convince people's hearts and raise troops to attack. You can't be polite...Now, send troops now, send troops!"
"Bah!" Zhang Ximeng snorted: "Send troops? Will you pay for it?"
Qian Yongren was stunned, why don't we send troops?
So, what should we do?
Zhang Ximeng said in a deep voice: "I have discussed with Mao Gui and selected a group of people from Shandong Red Scarf to go to Goryeo to assist Guan Duo. Since you have dealt with the Goryeo envoy, you should call him.
Let him see it with his own eyes. Then ask him where Goryeo will go from now on!"
When Qian Yongren heard this, he immediately became energetic. He was letting himself take care of things again. He nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang. This humble position will definitely let the Korean people know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is!"
