Since ancient times, the imperial power has not gone to the countryside. But that's what it's said in China, because it's in other countries...... Most of the time the imperial power does not leave Beijing! Even in later generations, many foreign places had a great deal of autonomy, and sometimes the local courts could even rule that the decrees of the higher authorities were illegal. In any period of China, which is unified, this is simply a fantasy.

In today's era, not to mention the feudal lord system in Europe, together with Goryeo and Japan, which are said to have similar systems in East Asia, have never been able to truly centralize power, and the so-called autocracy has never existed. In order to completely solidify the class, one has only learned a layer of the imperial examination system, and the other does not even have the imperial examination system for selecting talents.

In short, the noble are always noble, and the cheap are always cheap.

Even if today's Ming Dynasty needs excellent luck to achieve class leapfrogging, plus the efforts of three or more generations, at least there is a chance. Unlike other countries in the world today, where the elite holds all positions hereditarily, class mobility has almost completely stagnated.

For example, in Goryeo, the so-called king was exposed by the powerful ministers at every turn and was abolished, or various changes failed and stopped, most of the time he could not do what he said, but had to be controlled by others, even the so-called Korean Taejong who was known as a superb method. It is said that the law of confinement is Taizong's own experience, but in fact, it is not to limit the number of two classes?

Look at the two classes in the world in the later period of Lee's Joseon, and many of the two classes have become poor, so they are almost ruined.

As for Japan, the emperor who is known as the unity of all worlds is offered high, and then the shogun is in power, but gradually the so-called shogun is also overshadowed by various things, and the local first daimyo is in charge, and then the samurai are really in power, which is really the following deduction to the extreme.

Therefore, when those Goryeo people couldn't help but interrogate them thoroughly, Zhang Shou felt that there was a problem with which corner of Goryeo or Japan had a problem, and this was the most likely. The second is similar to the Ming Dynasty in history, places such as Macao were colluded by local corrupt officials and foreigners, but considering that the Ming Dynasty did not have a navy in history, the Ming Dynasty today is not, so the probability is low.

However, when he spent two days in the public school, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, someone rushed to the current public school with relatively loose guards, but it was Chen Yongshou, the steward of the Qianqing Palace who ran errands himself. He directly put the few people he brought outside, and went to the school hall alone to see Zhang Shou, and was relieved to find that Zhu Ying was not there.

Before the person even had time to stand firmly, he panted and said, "Zhang...... Bachelor Zhang, the second prince...... The second prince was found. People are in ...... Among those guys, Grandpa Chu ...... He threw a rat trap, so he ......"

Seeing that Chen Yongshou wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Shou only felt that his head hurt a little, and it was actually the one he didn't want to touch......

But his biggest headache was not anything else, but this kind of thing, the emperor actually sent someone to inform him. What could he do? He has a bunch of students under him, but he doesn't have half a soldier in his hand, shouldn't this kind of thing go to Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing or Chu Guogong Zhang Rui and other similar hard-line military people?

After taking a light breath, he calmed down completely, and asked unhurriedly at the moment: "Gonggong Chen, you are calm, don't worry, say slowly, do people use the second prince as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions, or do they hold the second prince hostage and want to get out, or something else?" Is Father-in-law Chu still there, or did he rush back to the capital to report the news? ”

Chen Yongshou finally adjusted his breathing at this time, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Those people claimed that when they arrived by sea, they first saved the second prince who was drifting on the sea, and then saved the ship that sent tribute in Goryeo. The reason why they were sent to the capital first was because they were confused by these Goryeo guys, because they cried and complained that they were miserable, and when they arrived in the capital, they turned their faces and didn't recognize people. ”

But how specifically, he couldn't say why he didn't go with Chu Kuan, so after explaining this, he settled down again, and then said in a low voice: "Of course Grandpa Chu won't come back, after all, he is in charge." For such a terrible thing, who can bear this responsibility for the two hundred sharp cavalry battalions that went with him? ”

Probably understanding the situation, Zhang Shou asked bluntly: "Then why is Gonggong Chen coming to see me now?" It just so happened that Yingying was going to practice her sword with Zhan Jin and Liuyin at this time, but it was estimated that she would come over immediately when she got the news. ”

As soon as he thought of the eldest lady who exploded at a single point like a charcoal, Chen Yongshou couldn't help but feel stunned. But when he was ordered, he had to tell the truth: "The emperor has actually made up his mind, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, regardless of the death and injury, and then take down all the people, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince persuaded the emperor alive and dead, saying that it would be okay if he only died as the second prince before......

"Now that you know that people are still alive but open such a mouth, this thorn will pierce the emperor's heart for a lifetime. Moreover, whether the so-called Haidong Huaguo exists, and what is going on, doesn't the emperor really want to know? ”

"So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, even so, there are only one or twenty people in total, and it is difficult to fly with wings, so it is better to outwit than to take it by force."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongshou had a bitter face and said cautiously: "But the emperor is still angry, scolded His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, and then sent me to ask Master Zhang if he has any good ideas to outwit." ”

If the third prince was in front of him at this time, Zhang Shou would simply want to knock on the head of this well-behaved little prince. You're such a good student! You think about your Lao Tzu, but you don't want to think about it, how did I come up with this idea?

instigated a strong attack, and afterwards it was really possible to be angered by the emperor after the passage of time; However, it is recommended to put aside the hypocrisy and take it to the capital to ask about it, but God knows if there will be a big storm when people arrive in the capital!

The so-called envoys of the Chinese Kingdom, he had deep doubts at the beginning, and was more inclined to believe that these people who appeared now were either hiding in Goryeo or a certain corner in Japan, or hiding in some islands off the coast of the Ming Dynasty today, so they could rob the Goryeo tribute ship so coincidentally and skillfully, and they could pinch the second prince in the palm of their hands miraculously, otherwise they would be looking for a needle in a haystack?

So, under Chen Yongshou's expectant gaze, he coughed and said, "Where did Gonggong Chu intercept these people?" Could it be in a post station on the road? ”

"yes!" If he was sitting, Chen Yongshou had already begun to pat his thighs at this time, but now that it was too late to sit, he could only sigh vigorously, and then whispered, "Thanks to the cold weather at this time, whether it is the officials who should enter the capital, or the tribute, they have all arrived. ”

"Otherwise, the post station is full of officials, and there are people coming and going on the official road, so a large number of people are blocked on the official road first, and then occupy the entire post station, that's really amazing!"

"So, Gonggong Chu should have made the intention of arresting clear, but what about these people? Not to mention that they pinched the second prince as a shield, since they insisted that they were the so-called envoys of the Chinese State, they didn't say that they came to the Ming Dynasty, what is the so-called matter? ”

"If you say it, then the emperor won't be so embarrassed." Chen Yongshou's face was almost wrinkled into a bitter melon, especially if Zhu Ying was about to come, if he was angry with this eldest lady at that time, it would be really a disaster, so he could only bow to Zhang Shou with a pleading face.

"Master Zhang, I also know that the emperor is a little difficult for a strong man, but what is needed at this time is not a decisive and resolute killing, but a small means and tricks to take a different path, just like you can easily see through the origin of those six Koreans. Why don't you give me an idea that I can handle. ”

If the idea is so easy to get, then the emperor still wants you to ask me?

Zhang Shou racked his brains, and he didn't think that he could come up with any ideas that satisfied the emperor, so he simply broke the jar and said: "That's it, since that is also a person who has privately entered the territory of my dynasty, he and the blonde boy in my family probably have some common language." Father-in-law Chen, you go to my house, let Father-in-law Liang take that Wu Dawei for a trip, and see what you can gain. ”

Seeing that Chen Yongshou was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that he really had such a crooked idea, Zhang Shou smiled, and then said casually: "Let the blonde boy tell them his story, maybe there is a chance to take advantage of it?" ”

He is not an expert negotiator, Chu Kuan's kind of powerful guy is a mouse, what is the use of him? Rather than this, it is better to let the language genius Liang Jiucheng take the blonde boy who calls himself Wu Dawei to go on a trip to see if people can be tainted with a little bit of the historical Octavian's bad luck.

Knowing that looking for Zhang Shou was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Chen Yongshou said that he felt that Zhang Shou had a bad idea at this time, but he still retired with a sad face, but when he was about to reach the door, he heard Zhu Ying's voice, and he was so frightened that he quickly got on the horse and galloped away.

However, when he returned to the palace and really told Zhang Shou's original words, he thought that the emperor would either be in a good mood and just laugh and scold, but if the mood was still as bad as it was at the beginning, then he would definitely sprinkle the uncontrollable anger on his head. But what he didn't expect at all was that the emperor would snort softly after being silent for a while.

"That kid is estimated to be really poor in donkey skills, but if these guys are really from Haidong, then it should not be the first time to take a boat, and they should have an understanding of the world, and they have also inherited Emperor Taizu, who was once Emperor Mengtian. Let Liang Jiucheng bring people over, if they can clearly know, what is the place where the blonde boy is in Florence......"

"Then I still have the value of meeting these people, otherwise, don't say that they are holding Erlang, that is, Emperor Taizu is still alive in the world at this time, and I don't believe in their evil!"

The emperor really listened to Zhang Shou's idea, which definitely seemed to be nonsense, Chen Yongshou was surprised, but he still immediately ordered it three moments, and then, the third prince and the fourth prince who were driven away by the emperor before also heard the news.

For this to say that it is good to say that the antelope has no trace of hanging horns, and if it is not good, it is to be in a hurry, thinking of which suggestion, even the fourth prince, who has always admired the teacher, couldn't help but pull the third prince and complained: "Is the teacher afraid that in this cold weather, the father will suddenly send him over there?" How dare my father, Mrs. Tai's illness is a little better, and she already cares about him! ”

The third prince is more stable in the end, and he will not talk about his father and teacher behind his back. However, when he thought that the second prince was still alive and still in the hands of a group of unidentified fellows, and that his father had announced the death of the person to the whole world, he felt that even if the person really came back, he was afraid that he would end up in a very embarrassing situation.

Of course, he didn't sympathize with the other party, but he had to worry about his father's prestige.

Therefore, seeing that the four princes consciously revealed that the previous gang of guys were Koreans, they worked hard and rolled around on the bed triumphantly, preaching how they were as wise as a torch, and provided the most critical news to the teacher at the first time...... He suddenly said: "Fourth brother, when I went to Baijia Village to see you before, I once said that I moved Sister Yingying and the Queen Mother to help escape from the palace. ”

"You say, if I do it again this time, will the Queen Mother and Sister Yingying help me again?"

The fourth prince had already heard about his third brother's escape from the palace last time, and when he heard the old things mentioned again, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but before he could say anything, he heard a shout that was obviously very annoyed: "Don't even think about it!" Don't say that the Queen Mother and Yingying will never help you again this time, even if they dare, do you want to freeze to death when you run out of the capital on this cold day? ”

With this voice, the emperor came in with a cold face, and when he saw the four princes lying on the bed dumbfounded, and the third prince was caught off guard, he said impatiently: "It's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam to toss a little thing, do you need you two children to be so sad?" What do you want to do, the dignified prince is going to negotiate with people and ask them to release them? ”

"Jiro won't be grateful to you! Since I have already announced to the world, I have already regarded it as if I do not have this son! It doesn't matter if I'm said to be unkind to my father, or whether I'm partial or biased, I don't care. As for Erlang, if he fell into the hands of thieves but didn't make a decision at the first time, then he can't blame others. ”

"Emperor Taizu once passed down the story of a young emperor who insisted on going his own way, but was lost in captivity, and after being held by others, he was really coerced to open the city gate. Although I have read all the history books, I have never seen such a one, but if you think about it carefully, if the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of thieves, he will either break it, or learn to live in the enemy camp like Gou Jian and endure humiliation, and then make a comeback. ”

"With the supreme Son of Heaven, go and call the city for others...... If I were the new Son of Heaven, I would be called a ...... No, shoot him with an arrow yourself! ”

The third prince's face changed when he arrived, and even a bear child like the fourth prince, who was a little rebellious in his bones, couldn't help but look like earth. The brothers turned around and left with a blue face when they saw the emperor leave these words, and the fourth prince finally couldn't help but say weakly: "Third brother, father...... He wouldn't really order ......"

"Don't talk about it." The third prince covered his fourth brother's mouth for a long time before he put down his hand. However, he didn't chase it out and let the emperor take back his fate, because the emperor didn't say it explicitly, and he didn't want to push people behind their backs again. It's just that, after thinking about it again and again, he said a word in a low voice.

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the teacher is fine in the public school, fourth brother, how about inviting him and Sister Yingying into the palace for the New Year?"
