Xinshun 1730

Chapter 3 Something Happened

The furnishings in the outer study of the Duke's Mansion are all half-old.

The new paintings in the tree house are not old, and the whole family wears new clothes. This family is definitely not noble, at most it is a nouveau riche.

The furnishing in the study room has the taste of a military general.

Hanging on the wall is an ancient Chinese sword, a set of plate armor "tributed" from France, and a Western chiming clock on the side of the screen.

The pendulum like a weight swayed back and forth, making a rattling sound.

There wasn't even a maid pouring water in the room. Liu Yu's father, Liu Sheng, was sitting at the table, holding a novel "Biography of Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" in his hand, reading it with gusto.

Today's Da Shunyi Duke Liu Sheng is about 50 to [-] years old. He has been pampered for a long time, but he still looks very young.

He was wearing a blue uniform with Qilin Baize embroidered on it.

Because the former Ming Dynasty called himself the virtue of fire, and water can extinguish fire, Da Da used the theory of five virtues to call himself the virtue of water.

It's just that everyone knows that among the five virtues, the water virtue is black, such as the water virtue, Qin is still black... But Dashun's group of old Shan'ers are so stubborn that they insist on saying that water is blue.

The "Jiashen Chronicle" of the former dynasty sarcastically said: "The trespassers are said to be kings of water virtue, and their clothes are still blue, so all the soldiers wear blue, and the official hats also use blue."

Until later, Jianguo was ridiculed by the elders of the former dynasty as "vulgar and uneducated, ignorant of the five virtues, and the virtues of water are blue, which is the first strange thing in 2000, and it is probably like this to sit on the country with mud legs", but it never changed from blue to black.

Liu Sheng attacked the Duke, the higher the official rank, the bluer the color.Blue comes from blue and is better than blue. The duke is extremely noble and minister, so he must wear blue.

After Liu Yu entered, he bowed and bowed his head, not daring to look directly.

After all, this is a feudal society, under the patriarchal system, especially this kind of duke's family, it is even more important to pay attention to it.The father didn't say to sit down, but if the son sat down directly, he would inevitably be beaten.

There are many things in the feudal patriarchal clan, Liu Yu is still clear about this.The bigger the family is, the more rules there are. Although Liu Yu hates it from the bottom of his heart, he has no choice but to accept it.

Seeing his cheap father watching "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" there, Liu Yu secretly smiled.

In the past few years, the country has become more and more stable, and the nobles can't hold on to the military power too tightly. They usually do some shit—hosting the wedding of the prince and princess, performing sacrifices on behalf of the royal family, hosting the Rong En Banquet, and even being famous. Editing "History of the Ming Dynasty"-Xungui put up a name to show his importance to the previous dynasty, but in fact he didn't do anything, so he just put up a name.

Because of the previous wars and chaos, the "Ming History" has not been completed, and Liu Sheng is still hanging up with the job of supervising the "Ming History".It's just that it's supervising the compilation of "History of the Ming Dynasty" and watching "Biography of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" here, which is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

After a long time, Liu Sheng put down his book, took off the tribute glasses of Western missionaries, and suddenly asked, "Have you read "The Legend of Heroes"?"

This book has been written for a long time, Dashun's market life is similar to that of the previous dynasty, and it has been widely circulated. Liu Yu nodded, thinking that I had read it in my previous life.

"Now that you've read it, do you know what's so good about this book?"

"Uh?"

What's so good about it?Liu Yu was a little confused, what should I say?
Where is the good thing?Fortunately, it's very lively and interesting?
After holding it in for a long time without letting out a fart, Liu Sheng patted the "Biography of Heroes" and said: "This book, after reading it, I feel that Guo Ying should not be a Marquis, but should be a Duke anyway." That’s right. In the book, Guo Ying shot Chen Youliang to death, and the Battle of Poyang Lake was Zhu Ming’s most dangerous battle. Just looking at this biography of heroes, I’m afraid Guo Ying’s contribution is not inferior to Xu Da’s.”

"There are many rumors that "The Legend of Heroes" was compiled by Guo Ying's sixth grandson, Guo Xun, so it is not groundless. The noble family is envied by the world, but they don't know that in order to keep the title, the descendants of future generations can use any crooked method come up with."

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Guo Xun was a chicken thief. There must be more people who have heard the biography of heroes than read "History of Ming Dynasty". By then, the whole world will know that Guo Ying shot Chen Youliang to death?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was in a hurry to find something that was not as bad as he thought. It seemed that his cheap father was in a good mood?

"What does father mean, is he also want to compile a "Biography of the Heroes of Dashun"?"

"Guo Ying was named Marquis Wu Ding, and there was a duke on top of him. Something happened to their family later, and the title was almost lost. Now I'm attacking Duke Yi, why should I take such a crooked path?"

After finishing speaking, he threw a pamphlet on the table and said, "Take these articles back and read them carefully."

Liu Yu didn't know what it was about, and said in her heart that you are not going to do this, why are you talking about it?After taking the few pages of the booklet, it is not easy to read it directly in front of my father, so I can only hold it in my hand first.

"I heard that a few days ago, the small school of Wude Palace, did you give a good rating?"

As soon as he heard that he was going to praise himself, Liu Yu hurriedly said: "It's a good comment."

"Well, it should be so. As the saying goes, take history as a mirror, and you must observe it. The nobles of the former Ming Dynasty were weak and incompetent, and the people behind the Tumubao were all dudes, and they ended up like this. Not to mention the crooked neck tree in Meishan, It is our family's mansion, which originally belonged to Xu's family in the former Ming Dynasty. How heroic Xu Da is, how could he have imagined that 300 years later, his descendants would be so weak. Xungui, you have to live with the country, you need to understand that you can live with the country."

"Yes."

Saying this on the mouth, but thinking in my heart that this matter has nothing to do with me.It's not me, but the elder brother who attacked the noble.Even if the elder brother is gone, he is still a nephew, and it is not my turn. I will separate the family in the future, so you should tell the elder brother about this.

"Since you have some talents, it will be good if you can enter Shangshe in the future. It's not peaceful around here, what do you think?"

The changed Sanshe method is a sharp knife used by the imperial power to suppress civil servants and mix sand in the officialdom with nobles.

There is no need to take the formal imperial examination route, and entering the Shangshe is equivalent to graduates from prestigious universities in the previous life when the university package was allocated, and here they have the qualifications to be an official.

Or Wen, or Wu.Generally, they would first serve as imperial guards for a few years, guarding the Forbidden City or serving as Luan guards alongside the emperor. When they were older, they would have the opportunity to be released.

Where to put it outside is hard to say.

Yi Guogong is the top nobleman in the dynasty, if he wants to do activities, it is very easy.

Liu Yu also knew in his heart that when the family was in this position, many things he said didn't count. Hearing what his father said, he pondered for a while and said, "It's all up to my father's arrangement."

Now the northwest is not peaceful, and it has been fighting with the Junggar tribe for years; the Tsarist Russia in the northeast is constantly harassing;

Liu Sheng didn't say much, and after waiting for Liu Yu for a long time, he said: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and you must first work hard on your will and muscles. The northwest is not peaceful, and you have to prepare early. Your Majesty intends to open it. Xinjiang, and dissatisfied that the sons of Xungui are so rich and can't bear hardships, and Sanshefa's requirement of living in school for a hundred days a year is full of hardships and tiredness, how can this work?"

Liu Yu nodded hurriedly, but there were a lot of question marks in her heart, full of doubts.

Listen to what this means, is this a vaccination for yourself?When the time comes to go to the Northwest Army for training, can't you stop going because you feel bitter?
But such a vaccination, it seems that there is no need to rush to that extent, right?Hastily asked his own servant to run to find him, it's unlikely that it's just such a small matter?

Moreover, the boy was called to look for him as soon as the court meeting was over. Could it be that there was some movement in the court hall?Are you really going to use troops against the Northwest?
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Sheng asked another question slowly and seemingly unintentionally.

"I heard that you went to Dai Jiabin's residence again a few days ago?"

A very casual sentence immediately broke out in Liu Yu's cold sweat. At this moment, he realized that the previous words were just appetizers, and the main dish is here!

In the middle of the court, something big happened.
