Chapter 223: Make friends with foreign ministers (3)

Although Zai Shi was unwilling to go to Japan, the emperor's order was not violated. Finally, he left three times. Zai Shi and Zai Shi asked for an order to see him off, watching the warships carrying Zai Shi and others go away. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Third brother, I have been asking for three days of decree and still have free time. If you are interested, why not go to the Governor's Office once?"

"I won't go." Zai Wei shook his hand. He was helpless. On his own, he was Li Hongzhang's son-in-law, but on the public, the two were completely different. In such a delicate situation, it would be better not to provoke those suspicions of being under the melon fields. "We will return to Beijing!"

"You," Zai Rong sighed, "How can you compare to Cai Yuandu when you don't enter the house!"

Zai Wei didn't expect that his younger brother would even joke with him, so he couldn't help laughing loudly. This is an allusion—.

Cai Yuandu's name was Cai Bian. He was Cai Jing's younger brother and Wang Anshi's son-in-law. At that time, Shenzong had collapsed and Zhezong succeeded to the throne and wanted to edit the "Shenzong Records". Cai Bian was in charge of the matter. He revised and rewrited the "Shenzong Records" based on Wang Anshi's diary. According to the "Shao Brothers' Records", Cai Bian's "holiday records reduced the facts, and the literature caused traitors and falsehoods. The superiors insulted Shenzong, and the inferiors in slandered old ministers, and changed the official history of Shenzong compiled by Yuan You's.

Cai Bian's filial piety to his father-in-law Wang Anshi is really commendable. Under his inspiration, Wang Anshi was named "King Shu" and was worthy of being a Confucian Temple. He was ranked above Mencius and opposed to Yan Zi. This was Cai Bian's one-handed move - Wang Anshi was superior to Mencius, so how could he be superior to Mencius? Therefore, not only did the scholars and officials at that time express dissatisfaction, but also the people were also worried about it. At that time, there was a note specifically designed to mock the two father-in-law and son-in-law.

This story is about the fact that there was a banquet in the inner court, and the actors in the Jiaofang sang zaju. There were six characters in the play, namely Confucius, Mencius, Yan Hui, Wang Anshi, Confucius' student Zilu and his son-in-law Gong Yechang.

At first, Confucius sat on the side. Mencius, Yan Hui, and Wang Anshi stood on the side. Confucius ordered his disciples to sit on the side. Wang Anshi humbly gave up Mencius, but Mencius refused. He said, "I am just a duke. My grandfather is the true king, so why should I be humble?" In the Song Dynasty, Mencius was posthumously named Duke Zou, and Wang Anshi was "King Shu". The title of king was greater than that of dukes, so Mencius was so humble.

So Wang Anshi bowed to Yan Hui and asked him to sit down, but Yan Hui refused. He said, "I am a man from a shabby alley and have no career in my life. My husband is a famous scholar. How can I compare to it? You are so polite."

When Wang Anshi heard this, he stayed in the position without a doubt. When he sat in the side chief, Confucius felt a little uneasy and asked Wang Anshi to sit down. The king was very frightened and said, "I dare not." Confucius gave up his throne and delayed it. It seemed that Confucius was really going to abdicate.

At this time, Zilu, who was in the hall, looked at him indignantly, went inside and pulled Gongye Chang out and wanted to beat him. Gongye Chang asked in a stutter, "What did I do to pull me? What did I make?"

"You!" Zilu pointed to his teacher and Wang Anshi and said, "Your father-in-law is embarrassed, why don't you save him? Look at other people's son-in-law?" The last sentence refers to Wang Anshi and Cai Bian.

The two brothers walked back from the dock talking and laughing. Gao Xinxie came towards him, "Please pay tribute to the two Mr. Beizi."

"Bi Mei, it's been a long time since I saw you. This time I've been jogging."

"Yes." Zai Fong also said with a smile, "The fifth man is the most home-loving person by nature. This time, the emperor sent him to Japan, and he would inevitably have some resentment. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, right?"

"The third master is joking, how dare I?"

"Didn't Quanshuai come?" Zai Lan asked.

"This is an urgent matter in the capital. Lord Zongxian cannot withdraw, so he is the only one who is a humble position to welcome him. If you are rude, please forgive me."

"He is busy with official duties, so we brothers don't bother you much." Zai Fong winked at his younger brother, "Let's say goodbye?"

Gao Xinxie observed his expression and knew that Zaihe was angry, so he hurried forward to stop him, "Third Master, it's unreasonable that it's not my Lord Zongxian, it's really..."

"Your residence does not have to be too careful. We brothers are indeed in trouble. This time we came out of Beijing, and the emperor had an order. After finishing the errand, we would return to Beijing to report immediately," Zai Lan said kindly, "It's not too early now, and our brothers have to hurry up and hurry up." He said, "Please come to Fu Quanshuai, and wait until we will meet again in Beijing in the future."

"Since the fifth master said this, I dare not stop him. I wish you good luck to the two Beizi Masters." The two brothers and Gao Xinxie bowed and got on the bus and left.

There was nothing to say on the way, and he replied to Beijing. Because he was ordered to go to the palace to reply to the order. The emperor didn't want the two of them to come back so quickly. He gave their brothers three days. He thought that if Zai Chun went to Tianjin this time, Zai Feng would always go to visit Li Hongzhang. Now it seems that this trip must be a dissatisfaction, so he immediately passed it on.

The two brothers knelt down and met, "Is Xiao Si leaving?" the emperor asked with a smile, "I'm afraid there are no complaints about me, a mama?"

"How can I fight for the country or avoid it because of my own preferences? My son-in-law thinks that even if the fourth brother fails to rely on the heart of heaven for a while, after he lives in Japan for a few days, he will be grateful for the cultivation of holy grace."

"Xiao Si, no more than you brothers. He is confused, but he has a loyal heart. When such a person stays in the capital, he looks like a playboy. Once there is something wrong, he is still a country's city!" The emperor did not hide his love for Zai Shi at all and said with a smile, "You will know when you arrive."

"There is no better son than father. Emperor Amaming saw Wanli and commented on the fourth brother. I think if the fourth brother can hear it, he should be convinced."

The emperor turned around and asked, "Why are you so busy when you go to Tianjin this time? Didn't you say that you two brothers will take a few days off?"

Zai Wei was speechless, but Zai Feng hurriedly said, "My son is a young man, and he is working hard to relieve his worries for Emperor Ama, but he doesn't feel tired. This time he sent the Four Beales to the east. Although his son was a little reluctant to leave, he thought about the relationship between Emperor Ama and the Fourth Brother's father and son, and wanted to know the Fourth Brother's mood earlier, so he urgently returned to the capital and reported to Emperor Ama. In addition to official business, he can also relieve the father's heart of Emperor Ama."

The emperor sighed silently, Zai Lan's words were not true or false, but he felt very satisfied, "Okay, you, my father and son are closest, get up and talk."

Let the two brothers get up, and the emperor smiled and said, "Recently, the Governor of Liangjiang Wenbin, invited tens of thousands of words to the people of Jiangnan to admire my glory in the south of the country and intend to ask me to go on a southern tour again. I thought about it and it was not appropriate. There is no need to say that the war between China and Japan has stopped now, the treasury is empty, and the people's expenses are gradually tightening; there is no such level,..."

He shook his hand, his legs fell to the ground, and Zai Yan knelt down and picked up his boots to hold his father up. "Even if there is no such layer, the emperor can do it if it is on tour! I won't mention it, think about how much money the court has to take out for this trip? In the seventh year of Xianfeng, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reimbursed more than 10 million taels of silver afterwards! I didn't know at the time, but I was shocked when I heard about it later!"

Listening to his father's voice, he burst into laughter from time to time. The two of Zai-Ji-Ye looked at each other and suddenly fell to his knees behind the emperor, "Emperor, my son has something to say."

"oh?"

"My son is thinking that Emperor Ama has been in 30 years, and the world has been ruled by great power. Now it has expanded its territory outside the territory. Although the country has been consumed, it is not very important. Moreover, our Qing Dynasty is at its peak and we have come to the world. The annual advance has been nearly 200 million. All these kinds of civil and military achievements are far superior to those of the previous priests. Not only the people in Jiangnan, but also the people in all provinces in the world want the saints to come..."

"So my son thinks that it is imperative for Emperor Ama to go south again, and he must show the power of the Qing Dynasty and spread to all over the world, so that it can be said to be reasonable."

The emperor refused to comment and asked Zai Chun again, "Fifth Prince, what do you think? Does your third brother's words make sense?"

How dare Zai Lan say that it is unreasonable? My father's meaning is very clear. He is really moved, but he is not good to speak directly. Just as the ministers were asked, the princes could agree. Following the third brother's words, Zai Lan's eyes rolled and said something, "That's the case, but my son thought, Long live Nan Xing, this matter is very important, and we must raise it all parties, and we must not be negligent. It cannot be done in one day. My son asked the emperor's will to handle this matter..."

"Oh, this is not possible." The emperor blurted out, "Your talent is not here, let alone the prince's job service in Beijing. There are many troubles, so let's discuss it again."

Zai Lan didn't understand what this sentence meant, how did it mean to be troublesome, how did it mean to discuss it again? He vaguely touched it.

The emperor temporarily put down this matter and said, "It's a pity for you, but after hearing your second brother's report, the newly-accepted concubine named Huier is also pregnant. What about you? Do you have Chiaxin?"

Ya'er refers to Zaiying's eldest son Pu'er. He was raised until he was four years old and fell ill and died suddenly. Even the imperial doctor could not find out what disease he had. Zaiying and the concubine were sad for a long time. Fortunately, Huizi, who he brought back from Japan, changed his name to Huier, has recently been reported, and the couple's frown was slightly relieved.

Zai Lan heard his father ask about this, his fair face turned red, "The son-in-law was about to tell Ama that Wu had a body."

"Oh?" The emperor was really happy, "This is a great thing, okay! Do your mother know?"

"The son is not as good as a report to his mother."

"You should tell her that you will go with me later."

Zai Wei sighed in his heart. Although he got married later than Zai Wei, he already had a son and a daughter in the mansion. But his father didn't ask. It can be seen that the Sacred Heart belonged, and the two were not out of the sons of Emperor Ama. Why was they so partial? Or was it just because one of these two people was born to the favored concubine and the other was the legitimate son?

For a moment, I was confused and followed my father and younger brother.
