Chapter 182? Cheng Yue's student
Xie Daoqing said: "The Metropolitan Governor has a lot of talents, why do you have to use the two of them?" ”
Cheng Yue sighed and said, "Sage, there seem to be a lot of talents under the ministers, but they don't need much." These two people are rare talents, and the minister can't bear to see them fall silent, so he has to give them a chance. Although they have selfish intentions in this matter, they are also out of public intentions, so the minister knows that this matter will make it difficult for the two saints. ”
Xie Daoqing shook his head and said: "Dadu Governor, if it is just an official field, it is naturally easy to say, but it is related to the feng shui of the Great Song Dynasty and the food and clothing fields of the heroes of the past dynasties, and no one can act rashly, what should you do if you call the mourning family?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "The minister has a plan in his heart, everything that is beneficial to the country is the goal of feng shui, otherwise won't feng shui become a joke?" Taking a step back, if Feng Shui is so useful, why are there still Mongols heading south? Pushing forward, is the feng shui of Bianliang bad? How did the Jin people succeed? It can be seen that the theory of feng shui is purely false. As long as the country and the people are safe, why worry about bad feng shui? As for the food and clothing fields of the heroes and nobles of the past dynasties and the dressing fields of the concubines, the ministers did not all requisition, but only opened a way in the middle. After the road is built, because of the ease of transportation, the output of their land is easier to transport, and in the long run, the benefits are far greater than the little land that is expropriated. If the two saints are embarrassed, they might as well say that the minister is bent on doing his own thing, and the responsibility is borne by the minister. What the minister wants to do is to offend many people, and he doesn't care about more. ”
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu were shocked when they heard this, and then looked at Cheng Yue's face that was always smiling, and their hearts of respect arose. They never thought about it, this twenty-year-old young man. So many things have been done. Leading so many people. How much pressure will be endured, how many hardships and hardships will be endured. Even so, whenever he saw him, he never looked dejected, and he was always smiling.
Originally, they also guessed that Cheng Yue was here to ask for money, because building roads would be of great benefit to the Great Song Dynasty, and it was really unreasonable to pay a little money. But Cheng Yue was a man of words, in order to let the imperial court clear the responsibility of conquering the south in the future. He paid for all the roads, even the one that connected Suzhou, Yangzhou and Fujian to the north. They are not ordinary women, how can they not know the huge investment in this.
Now that I think about it, Cheng Yue's personality can really be called upright, even if he is a little arbitrary, it is also to keep the success of the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Expedition. Just building a road is so tricky for the two women who are in charge of the government, and Cheng Yue has to do something that is many times more difficult than this. They finally had another understanding of why Cheng Yue held such huge power, as he said, if it was handed over to the imperial court, it would not be possible to do it at all. The responsibility on this man is so heavy. They should have the same responsibility to help him achieve his goals.
Xie Daoqing sighed deeply and said, "Feng Shui matters." The mourning family doesn't understand much either. However, the mourning family understands that if it weren't for the Grand Governor, the Mongols would have already stepped into Lin'an at this time, and where could they talk about any feng shui, even if there were, it would probably be bad. In the land of Huangzhuang, the mourning family can be the master, and most of the governors want to build roads, just go to repair them. The land of each concubine in the palace can also be decided by the governor himself. As for the fiefs of the heroes of the past dynasties, the mourning family was powerless, and most of the governors took care of it. If they sue the court, the mourning family can only push it on the governor, and the governor will deal with it himself, and the court will not be able to control it. ”
Cheng Yue smiled, although Xie Daoqing said that he was a little unresponsible, but this was her difficulty, he knew that this was the best result that could be obtained, and said with a deep salute: "Thank you to the two saints for your success, I am grateful." ”
Quan Jiu looked at Cheng Yue, who made her know each other again, and her heart moved, and said, "As the emperor's teacher, do you want to go and see the emperor's homework?" Let's get to know the students first. ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The minister came today, not only to see the emperor's homework, but also remembered that the minister said last time that when he entered the palace again, the two saints would eat whatever the minister wanted, and the minister must fulfill his promise." In addition, the minister made a few new pastries at home, and ordered his family to send them to the two saints to taste before noon. ”
The two women were overjoyed, they never expected Cheng Yue to really fulfill the small promise he said casually, and there were even more unexpected surprises. In this way, Cheng Yue should often go to court.
Quan Jiu remembered the mess of eating all the dishes last time, and immediately asked, "Can the Governor of the Metropolitan ask for more pastries sent to the palace?" There were other concubines in the palace who had not tasted the craftsmanship of the Grand Du. ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Sage, please rest assured, last time the time was in a hurry, this time there were as many as twenty cakes sent into the palace, and each of the nobles in the palace could get some." No matter how many ministers, the two concubines will be overwhelmed. As for stir-frying, there is time and MSG, and the minister must put more effort into it, so that you can be satisfied. ”
Xie Daoqing said happily: "That's hard, it's a big governor." The mourning family ate well last time, and I still remember it. It was still early, so I asked the governor to go to see the emperor's homework first, and the mourning family gathered the harem and waited for the food to be tasted in Cining Palace. ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It is the honor of the minister to be able to serve the two saints, let alone the hard work." Shi Lixuan withdrew, led by Chen Baohe, and came to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor was studying.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Wen Tianxiang is teaching several children to read and write. There was a blackboard in the hall in an obvious place, which was given to Wen Tianxiang by Cheng Yue. Wen Tianxiang is a Confucian after all, and he quickly adapted to the board book, and the words he wrote were vigorous and powerful, upright and beautiful, second only to Zhao Mengfu, so that Cheng Yue liked it so much that he really wanted to move the blackboard home to collect.
Seeing Cheng Yue coming, Wen Tianxiang put down the chalk and said with a smile: "Is the Metropolitan Governor finally willing to come?" When do you want to start the course? ”
The students looked back, and sure enough, it was Cheng Yue who walked into the hall in great strides. Whether it is the prince of the emperor, or the prince of Wenfu, or the young master of the Meng family, they must all come together to respectfully salute, Cheng Yue only needs to return half a salute to the emperor, and he can take a seat in front of the emperor first, as for whether the emperor can sit depends on his mood.
Cheng Yue sat down on the chair and motioned for the students to sit down, and when he saw Wang Yu standing in the corner, he ignored him.
Emperor Zhao Xian was more than five years old, very cute, and sat obediently in front of Cheng Yue, with his hands still on his knees. Yiwang Guangwang is older than Zhao Xian, one is eight years old and the other is six years old, and the position sitting slightly behind Zhao Xian is also very honest, and the tutors of the three children are really good.
Cheng Yue liked Zhao Xian very much, said hello to him, and then smiled at Wen Tianxiang: "My father-in-law is so good in class, how dare my son-in-law get an axe in the class?" It's better to be late, and it's better to prepare a little more. ”
Wen Tianxiang waved his hand and said: "Since you can write "Linjiang Immortal", don't hide it, the first time you come, you must teach something, you can't just come for a walk." ”
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "My father-in-law is a pedantic man, but he came to make fun of his son-in-law." Maybe the son-in-law has a small article here, called "The Three Character Classic", which is very suitable for enlightenment, so write it out and teach them. ”
Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly, leaned in front of Cheng Yue's eyes and whispered: "In the name of the scriptures, if the writing is a little flawed, it will also make people laugh, do you want to change your name?" Wen Tianxiang said it very politely, in Chinese literature, only classics that can be called classics can be called classics. Chinese culture has been around for thousands of years, and the books with the name of the scriptures can be counted with one hand and one foot, and the titles of the scriptures are to be crowned by others. If you say it, you will only be laughed at by the world, and it is light to scold you for being shameless.
Cheng Yue smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Father-in-law, let's see if I'm done writing it, anyway, I'll call it "Three Character Classic", and I don't care what others call it." ”
Wen Tianxiang saw that Cheng Yue didn't plan to change his name, and when he thought of his "Linjiang Immortal", he couldn't help but have some expectations. Anyway, there are few people in the hall, and if the writing is unsatisfactory, it is not difficult to cover up the past, so let's take a look first.
There are also charcoal and paper in the hall, Cheng Yue took it, and just about to start writing, he changed his mind again, and said to Wen Tianxiang: "Father-in-law, it is better for the son-in-law to read it, and the father-in-law will write it, and we will work together to complete it, which is also a good story." ”
Wen Tianxiang didn't know what the hell his son-in-law had in mind, but writing a few words was just a gesture, so what did it matter? So he picked up the brush and said, "Then I'll use this to write." ”
Cheng Yuexi said: "That's right. ”
An attendant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to sharpen the ink, and he had a faint premonition that he was participating in a major event that could go down in history. Cheng Dadu has always been extraordinary, and this "Three Character Classic" that has not yet been written is likely to be just like his "Linjiang Immortal" that has been circulated, so can't he boast about it? Thinking of this, my whole body is full of energy.
Wang Yu's brain turned faster, and when he saw Cheng Yue's confident appearance, he knew that Cheng Yue's work was likely to be another excellent work, if only these few attendants in front of him were listening, I am afraid that the two saints would complain in the future, or let them come and listen to it, and they could take the opportunity to show that they were thinking about the saints and did not hold a grudge against Cheng Yue. Taking a step back, once Cheng Yue writes not well enough, he can also make Cheng Yue lose his ugliness in front of the people in the palace, he is left and right anyway, and there is no risk at all. Thinking of this, Wang Yu quietly took advantage of the fact that he was still grinding ink, and quickly left the Qinzheng Palace and ran towards Cining Palace. Fortunately, the two places are very close, just a few steps away.
In Cining Palace, Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu were talking to the many concubines who rushed over after hearing the news, and all the concubines had smiles on their faces, just waiting for a while to feast. They had long been looking forward to eating stir-fried dishes made with MSG every day like the two saints, but they had not until today that they could taste this legendary dish with the blessing of the Governor of the Imperial Court.
Xie Daoqing was talking to Concubine Yang Shu, and when he heard Wang Yu, who was waiting for the emperor, asking to see him, he was shocked, afraid that something would happen again, so he hurriedly passed him in. (To be continued......)
