Chapter 829: Heaven and Earth, Mission

The four princes are gradually establishing the age of the three views, and Zhang Chen used to be rampant and domineering, but since he went to Xingtai and Cangzhou once, he really got in close contact with the people's livelihood, and put aside the aura of the family and the battle of wits and courage, it can be said that the three views have been shattered and reshaped, so when they heard Zhang Shou's words, their hearts and minds were naturally different.

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, so throughout the ages, the imperial court and government do not want farmers to think too much, because they only need to face the loess with their backs to the sky and work hard and harvest with peace of mind. This is not only true here, but even further abroad. ”

"In our world, the scholars feel that there are only those who know the way of the sages. In the distant West, the clergy and the aristocracy felt that they were not worth mentioning anything other than the peasant landlords, the wealthy merchants, and the clever and skilled craftsmen who made all kinds of machinery more convenient for their lives. ”

"Those countries in the West do not have imperial examinations, and all official positions rely on birth, not talent. And the imperial examination of my dynasty ...... Every three years, the Jinshi Gold List is all over the world, do you know, how many of them are real farmers? It's not that there is no one in ten, but there may be none in a hundred. Because to support a real scholar, even if it is a talent, the farmer can't afford it. ”

"So when I was in Cangzhou, I asked Zhu Er to help farmers, and this time in Tongzhou, I asked Zhang Chen and Zheng Qiang to help students together, plus the huge public school in the outer city, you know, I never expected to be able to train a few jinshi."

"I just hope that there will be a chance for those who can't stand out from the field, but have some kind of talent, maybe arithmetic, maybe other people, to have a chance to get ahead."

"But if you ask me what is the point of those people who have worked hard all their lives to have food and clothing, I can only say that I don't know. Because everyone understands this differently. ”

"If you ask these people about themselves, they will look at you with amazement, and think that you are sick when you think about such things, and that is not the case with heat? You go and ask the doctor, and the doctor will look at you contemptuously and say that this is a natural division destined by God. ”

"If you ask those truly learned and cultivated masters, they will tell you in a serious way that those who work day after day and year after year for food and clothing are the cornerstone of this huge world, because the so-called noble emperors, generals, and ministers, without the support of these people, will not even have the least ability to survive, and will only starve to death."

"But if you go and ask the beggar on the side of the road......" Zhang Shou dragged out a long note, and then laughed, "he will only throw stones at you in anger." Because for him, as long as he is warmly clothed and well fed, life has meaning. ”

It was only at this time that the four princes frowned thoughtfully, and Zhang Chen, who had never had the habit of dropping his bookbag, instinctively burst out with a sentence: "It turns out that this is Zifei Fish, the joy of knowing fish?" ”

"No, Zhuangzi's sentence can't be used in this kind of place." Zhang Shou laughed, and then said sarcastically, "There is a joke that two poor men rarely eat baked cakes at a stall, and while eating, they dip their fingers in the fallen sesame seeds and eat them." Later, they came up with a big perverse topic, what would happen if I were emperor? Guess what they say? ”

"One said, if I become the emperor, then I will eat sesame baked cakes every day, eat one and throw one away, and never pick up the sesame seeds that have fallen. And the other said, what is the baked cake, if I become the emperor, then I will drink soy milk every day, drink a bowl and pour a bowl! ”

"This is the emperor in the eyes of the people. Just like the peasants you once imagined. It's too far away, there's nothing to say. Unless you've been there for a year and a half like they did, it's just too much to sit here and talk about what it means."

Speaking of which, Zhang Shou played the four princes with a brain melon, and when he saw that people were stunned, they forgot to cover their heads, so he laughed and said: "So, don't think about the problems you can't solve." The meaning of the common people in the world, it's not your turn to think about it. Not to mention now, even five or six hundred years from now, this problem will be equally unsolvable. ”

Because most people are just huge denominators, all are just tiny worker ants, all are just screws...... The place of the wise man is also in the world, such as the place of the cone, and the end of the opinion, this kind of words that sound very moving, can only be listened to, not true!

The car immediately entered the official road, and the noise gradually increased. Although the canal has been frozen, there have been few heavy snowfalls this year, and the land traffic to the capital has not been greatly affected, especially the main road from Tongzhou to the capital, which can be regarded as a busy and endless stream. When people are in the car, they can not only hear the neighing of cars and horses outside, but also often encounter traffic jams.

In this regard, fortunately, the three people in the car came out of Baijia Village with enough food and drink, and they were not afraid of hunger. However, after a long traffic jam, the anxious Zhang Chen and the four princes couldn't help but be a little impatient, and frequently opened the curtains to investigate, and Zhang Shou couldn't bear it at first, but after a long time of stop-and-go, the urine couldn't be contained, so in the end he couldn't help but open the curtains on his side.

This time, Ah Liu rode his horse directly over, and whispered next to the window: "Young master, I heard that the Goryeo mission has entered Beijing." Because there were so many people from the mission, the road was blocked. ”

Zhang Shou was speechless for a moment. Every time the year passes, it is the time when the envoys of various countries get together, but after all, many countries are far away, it is impossible to come every year, and today's Ming is not like the Ming Dynasty in history, which was initially taken advantage of in tributary trade, and then began to urgently limit the number of people. Nowadays, the imperial court has a strict limit on the number of envoys, and you can send more people, but ...... At your own expense!

Therefore, the Goryeo mission is willing to bring more people and goods at its own expense, and even cause the road to Beijing to be blocked, so what else can it do?

However, it is really annoying to be stuck on the road like this, Zhang Shou glanced at Zhang Chen and the fourth prince, who also elongated their faces, and then said: "Get out of the car, change horses, let's go to the city first!" The younger ones in the back carriage shared a horse with the others, leaving a few to get on the carriage and walk slowly. ”

The fourth prince immediately cheered, he completely forgot that he could ride a horse, and shouted without thinking about it: "Teacher, I want to ride a horse with the sixth brother!" ”

Ah Liu frowned with some disgust, however, when he saw Zhang Shou's eyes, he still reluctantly agreed. As for Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui, who were already a little distracted because of the first time they took the carriage, they didn't have any right to speak at all, and the guards in the carriage picked them up very neatly and got on the horse.

Fortunately, because of the relationship between the four princes, several double saddles were prepared on the car, and Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng had learned to ride horses, plus Zhang Shou and Zhang Chen, they had to even out four horses, leaving the four people to enter the city in a carriage. Of course, before starting again, everyone first found a place to put a burden on their stomachs, and then they traveled lightly.

Despite this, because the whole road was blocked for most of the time, even if they were riding, the speed of the crowd was not much faster. In the end, Zhang Chen stood up impatiently. Zhang Dagongzi, who was known for his rampant and domineering in the capital before, directly waved the horsewhip in the air and crackled, giving way with a loud and crisp shout.

If someone asked angrily why he gave way, he directly scolded: "Just because I am the eldest prince of the Duke of Qin!" ”

I have to say that Zhang Chen's reputation is still very good on the ground in this capital, of course, the most important thing is that this strange man is not afraid of ruining his reputation at all, anyway, in Zhang Dagongzi's opinion, his former reputation is like that, and it is not like Lu Xiaofat's low-key and obscene, at most, these noble disciples know that people are not good birds, and his reputation cannot be innocent even if it is reversed now.

Therefore, he led the team with the tyrannical and domineering, and the group was naturally invincible on the official road, and they had already broken through to the rear of the Goryeo mission. And even at this time, Zhang Dagongzi still had no intention of stopping, not only did he not, but the person took the lead in breaking into the back of the mission, which was originally just a false horsewhip, but it was actually wiping people's faces and waving down.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! A group of guys eating and drinking under the banner of the mission, don't stand in my way! ”

In the face of such an arrogant shout, even Zhang Shou, who was surrounded by a group of guards behind him, had an urge to cover his face so as not to be seen. Is this Zhang Chen uncomfortable if he is not a villain for a day? Although we are in a hurry to return to the city, we are not in a hurry to this point, so we have to argue with other people's missions?

Although the title of King of Goryeo has not been particularly valued by the major Chinese dynasties - since the complete collapse of Goguryeo, from Silla to Wang's Goryeo to Lee's Joseon, although they have all unified Samhan, in the eyes of the vast Celestial Empire, it is still a small country and a widow - but it should not be taken too lightly.

As he was thinking so, he only heard the fourth prince sitting in front of Ah Liu on the side whisper: "Zhang Chen, that's a grudge!" This kid used to have a conflict with a certain Goryeo prince on the street, and that kid was new to the city, and he didn't know what Zhang Chen's identity was, because he lost two sentences, so he called the guards to come up and beat people, but they were all beaten to the wall by the guards of the Qin State Mansion......"

People are beating people like hanging paintings, and when they put it on Zhang Chen, it becomes like beating people like sticking on a wall, which is very good and powerful!

However, the newly arrived prince of Goryeo dared to beat someone in the capital of Daming because he was damaged by two sentences...... Zhang Chen didn't suffer any loss at all, but he still regarded this as a feud, and now he wants to take revenge when he sees the Goryeo mission?

Zhang Shou's question was answered by the fourth prince the next moment: "Because of this incident, Zhang Chen was not allowed to go out for a month by the Qin State Public Relations at home, speaking of which, it is not as serious as the last time Sister Yingying went to the ceremonial eunuch to block the door, and that time Zhang Chen was beaten for several days and couldn't get out of bed." But he's the one who holds the most grudges! "Seizing the opportunity, the bear child naturally hit the small report fiercely!

Knowing that it was actually such a method of making enemies, Zhang Shou suddenly smiled. There is no need to pinch his fingers, he also knows that the Goryeo of this year should not be the Wang Goryeo, but the Li dynasty, which has a longer life than any feudal dynasty in China, and almost lasted for the entire Ming and Qing dynasties, and finally died because of the Japanese invasion.

As for why the top and bottom of the DPRK are still called Goryeo instead of North Korea, he heard that the name of the country that Li Chenggui of North Korea reported at the beginning was not approved by the imperial court at all, and it was not like Zhu Yuanzhang who waved his hand in his later years, but he never approved it. As a result, the successive emperors of the past dynasties still seriously gave the monarchs of the Li Dynasty as the kings of Goryeo, and the golden seal has never changed.

And even if Zhang Shou is not interested in the history of Lee's Joseon, he has heard about the history of some people, including the most famous of them, from those bloody historical dramas that he occasionally glanced at once or twice.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Shou couldn't help but wander for a moment, including thinking about the history of the Ming Dynasty is completely crooked, and he doesn't know what is going on in North Korea. And when they were distracted, because of Zhang Chen's unscrupulous behavior, the mission really gave way to them, and they finally rushed to the middle of the mission smoothly.

And at this time, Zhang Shou saw the sedan chair surrounded by many entourages. Since the Ming Dynasty in this year, because of the ban of the wise Emperor Taizu, he has not seen much of the situation of manpower carrying a sedan chair, even the emperor in the palace, he doesn't like to sit on his shoulders when he goes in and out. Moreover, the sedan chair in front of him simply made him feel that he had traveled to a Korean drama.

The length, width and height are only about one meter, that is, about three feet, so small that the people inside can't even move......

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the exclamation of the four princes: "What is in the big box carried by those four people?" Is it a Goryeo tribute? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shouden was slightly stunned, and then realized that the four princes had rarely been out of the palace in the past, and even if they had the opportunity to meet the Goryeo mission, they would probably never see this scene in a sedan chair. However, before he could explain, he only heard Zhang Chen, the former leader of the team, already tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"This time you guessed wrong, this is their Goryeo warm sedan chair, and the sedan chair is not a tribute, but a big living person!" Thinking that he was angry with people because of the relationship between the bullshit Goryeo prince sitting in a sedan chair, Zhang Chenden laughed and laughed, "I said that I was a delegation to celebrate the New Year, but I sat in a sedan chair to swagger through the market, doesn't this take the ban of Emperor Taizu of my dynasty in your eyes?" ”

Just now Zhang Chen shouted all the way that he was the eldest prince of the Qin State Mansion, and the people of the Goryeo mission naturally heard it, and when they heard this extremely serious accusation, the servants who carried the sedan chair were all concerned, and the other people suddenly panicked.

After all, Zhang Chen had a conflict with a certain Goryeo prince who went to the capital to study in the country, and the incident was too famous. After all, after the so-called prince of Goryeo returned to the country, he was quite unhappy about it, and it was none other than the former son, the king who has not been on the throne for a long time!

Just as the envoy on the side of the horse was about to refute Zhang Chen with righteous words, a weak voice came from the carriage: "I traveled all the way before, and my old illness attacked, so now I can only take a sedan chair carried by manpower." I also knew that I had violated Emperor Taizu's decree, but I also asked Dagongzi Zhang to allow me to take a sedan chair to the city gate before changing horses. ”

Hearing that the voice in the sedan chair was crisp, but it seemed a little weak, and the person sitting in it seemed to be very small, Zhang Shou immediately stepped forward to stop Zhang Chen, who was still about to ask, and then asked with a pleasant face: "Is the sedan chair the envoy of the Goryeo mission this time?" ”

When the envoy who came on horseback heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and then hurriedly shouted: "No, no, no, in the sedan chair is our country's mountain king, who was ordered by the Heavenly Dynasty, and the king ordered us to escort the mountain monarch to enter the court and enter the country to study." ”
