Chapter 221 The King of Yue
In the Honghe Temple, the Minister of Honghe Temple and the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple each hold a Neo-Confucian publication and look at each other in blank dismay.
"Do you want to notify the Academy?"
Shaoqing frowned and said, "The envoys from Taihao Mountain are very dissatisfied with this publication. Some even bluntly said that Li Ang was acting like a demon."
The new issue of Neo-Confucianism has unsurprisingly caused an uproar. Neo-Confucian journals, especially the main journals, represent the attitude of the academy to some extent.
And when the author of the thesis was that Li Ang again, things became more complicated.
“.”
Si Qing closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then slowly said: "Cardinal Xinxiu who led the team this time, did you say anything?"
Shaoqing shook his head and said: "Not yet. After Cardinal Xinxiu came to Chang'an, he couldn't retreat. Daily life is also taken care of by Taihaoshan's own people."
Si Qing said: "Since Cardinal Xinxiu has not spoken, there is no need to inform the academy."
Shaoqing hesitated to speak: "But."
Siqing gave him a sideways glance, and said lightly: "Are you worried that Taihaoshan will be angry about this?"
Shaoqing pursed his lips, "Yes. Not only Taihao Mountain, but this paper may also cause surprises from allied nations, causing Southern Zhou, Xijing and other countries to send inquiries."
Mount Taihao is after all the center of Haotian Daomen, and most of the known civilizations in the world follow the enlightenment and guidance of Daomen. .
Even if the identity of Haotian believer is discarded, it is absolutely unwise to offend Taihaoshan from the perspective of the interests of Yu State.
"Oh, I'm used to it."
Si Qing sighed and said: "Since Su Zi disrespected Haotian, most of the mountain elders in the school palace, except for a few, are not very pious. And the actions of the monks in the school palace to pave roads and bridges, blow up mountains and fill ditches, and delve into Neo Confucianism are also very important. From time to time, Tai Haoshan was dissatisfied.
I have been here for so many years, and I am not missing one or two things.
Could it be possible to send troops to attack Yu State because of a mere paper? "
He paused for a moment, shook his head and said helplessly: "How does this school inspector, Miao Zhengqing, do it?
If the academy wants to post such sensitive things, he won’t even come over to inform us, so that we are not human inside and outside Honglu Temple.
That's all, I will go to the palace and report to His Majesty. "
The elderly Si Qing stood up, hammered his sore waist, and then glanced at the bright name of Li Ang on the paper, feeling complicated.
Eventful autumn.
——
Li Ang, who is at the back of the palace, does not know the impact of his thesis.
Since the head of the mountain nodded, other unrelated opinions are not so important.
His current energy is all used to make up lessons.
Changes in the concepts of funeral and marriage etiquette in the two Jin Dynasties.
Ethnic policy towards Turks in the former Sui Dynasty.
Yu Lvhua's handling principles for outsiders' crimes.
Low-level monsters transformed into common livestock.
In order to make penicillin, Li Ang took too long a vacation, so that the pile of missed homework was impressive—
He Fanshuang often came to make up lessons, but he still had to write homework and class notes by himself.
There is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu that the holiday is coming to an end, and I am desperately trying to make up my homework the day before school starts.
Li Ang shook his head, put his messy thoughts behind him, and continued to use his thoughts to control the two pen holders at the same time, writing vigorously.
"I'm coming-"
Li Leling's voice came from outside the house. She was wearing a warm and thick mink fleece scarf, and she was bouncing into the house with a small and exquisite stove in her hand.
The maid who followed her was carrying lunch boxes filled with fresh and warm dishes.
Li Leling took out the food from the lunch box, put it on the table in front of Li Ang, and asked casually, "Where's Cuiqiao?"
"Take a nap upstairs."
Li Ang put down the brush with his mind, raised his finger, and said, "Five."
Li Leling tilted her head, puzzled.
"Four, three, two,"
Li Ang counted down on his own, and when he finished saying the word "one", there was also the sound of thumping footsteps on the stairs—Chai Chai, who smelled the aroma of food, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and left holding on to the handrail of the stairs down.
Besides not being able to float, it is just like the cats and dogs that were caught by the smell of food in the old cartoons.
Li Ang and Li Leling looked at each other and smiled, and cooperated tacitly to clean up the table and set up the bowls and chopsticks, "Let's eat."
The three of them sat together and had lunch, chatting about recent events.
The biggest topic in Chang'an recently is naturally the foreign missions.
In addition to Zhou Guo, Jing Guo and other big countries, some small countries that were going to pay tribute to Yu Guo have recently arrived in Chang'an.
Li Leling said casually: "Although the journey is long and the boats and cars are exhausting, every time I come to Chang'an, I can get rich rewards such as gold, silver, and silk, and the head of the country can also be canonized by the State of Yu and protected locally.
And there are other ways for small country missions to make money. "
"Finding money?"
Chai Chai asked curiously: "How to get it? Secretly put some local specialties in the carriage, and sell them in Chang'an?"
"Well, here's one way."
Li Leling nodded, a little embarrassed and said: "Apart from this, there is also participating in Cuju."
"ha?"
Chai Chai and Li Ang, who have never cared about sports events, were surprised at the same time.
"The Cuju competition held by those companies."
Li Leling explained: "Cuju has a long history. In order to maintain its attractiveness, those companies have racked their brains, first to come up with some divisions, separate the eastern and western divisions, and then come up with some kind of league system.
A few years ago, the Chang’an Cup was created—that is, the participation of multiple national-level teams.
Due to the extremely generous rewards, teams from countries such as Southern Zhou and Xijing will come to participate. And those small countries will also give it a go, and bring the team members along with them when paying tribute, so as to avoid running back and forth.
If you can win one or two games, that is the reward of Wanguan level.
Yu Guo won the Chang'an Cup in the past few years, but this year, for some reason, Yu Guo's team did not go well. Facing teams from small countries, they suffered setbacks one after another, and finally lost to Nan Zhou.
Many fanatics who paid high prices for tickets have blocked the door of the firm that held the Cuju League for several days in a row, cursing and refunding their money. "
What is this familiar yet weird sense of déjà vu?
Li Ang had a rather strange expression.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."
Li Leling took out two red invitations from his handbag, "My fourth brother will get married in a few months, so I'll give you the invitations first."
"His Royal Highness King Yue is getting married?"
Li Ang accepted the invitation in surprise, flipped through it casually, and found that the fiancee of Yue Wang Li Hui was the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Well, someone in the court is urging you."
Li Leling pursed her lips slightly, not wanting to talk more about this issue, and left in a hurry after eating.
Chai Chai looked at her back as she walked away, flipped through the exquisite and luxurious invitation, and said strangely: "Why is Le Ling so weird? Isn't she on good terms with her fourth brother? Why does she look so unhappy?"
"Because of seizing the heir. King Li Hui of Yue is especially favored by His Majesty. He stayed in Chang'an when he was almost an adult and did not go to his fiefdom. It is estimated that some ministers in the court who supported the prince felt uneasy and wanted to drive King Yue away completely in the name of marriage." Out of Chang'an."
Li Ang shook his head, he didn't have the heart to get involved in the matter of the prince seizing the heir, and he couldn't help Li Leling's troubles.
There is only one throne, someone will always be eliminated.
——
get married
In the Mansion of the Minister of Industry, the daughter of the Minister of Industry named Yan Xuan, the future Princess of Yue, is sitting in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
The wedding date is said to be far away, or near, a group of maids and female officials are busy around.
Or decorate the room, or prepare the dowry, or prepare gifts for the guests.
Amidst the din, Yan Xuan was extremely bewildered.
It is true that Li Hui, the king of Yue, is an excellent marriage partner. He is born noble, talented, and talented.
From the previous meetings in informal occasions, it can be seen that he has a friendly personality, and he is not arrogant and domineering just because he is a prince.
As for Li Hui, whose biological mother is Empress Xue, he can be said to be a handsome fat man.
Many advantages are superimposed, it is difficult for Yan Xuan to say what dissatisfaction she has with this marriage, there is only one point—
Seize the heir.
She clenched her fists subconsciously. In Chang'an City, who doesn't know that His Majesty loves, even spoils his fourth son,
Before when the crown prince was established, he was quite ambiguous, hesitating between the eldest son Li Si and the fourth son Li Hui.
His attitude influenced a group of courtiers, causing them to make friends with Li Hui openly or secretly, hoping to benefit from the dragon.
My own father is one of them.
It's just that the battle for the heirloom is so dangerous, if you are not careful, you will usher in the end of the whole family.
Yan Xuan sat in front of the dressing table, but felt like a **** caught in a vortex, helpless and unable to breathe.
"San Niang, the hot water for bathing is ready."
A maid bent down and said next to her ear.
"Well, here we come."
Yan Xuan came back to her senses, got up and walked out of the bedroom, went to the bathroom, under the service of the maid, took off her clothes, and stepped into the bathtub worriedly. Think about your future destiny,
She did not notice the fleeting light in the eyes of the maid behind her,
And under the rose petals on the water surface, the light red smoke that dissolves and floats in the water.
