Xinshun 1730

Chapter 314 Binding
When you get home, you have to go through the process of three letters and six rituals.

Although Liu Yu was in the capital at this time, he didn't live in Duke Yi's mansion, and Dang didn't ask anyone to call him immediately.

The past few days coincided with the Great Court Meeting, and envoys from all over the country came to Beijing. It is estimated that there will be a lot of quarrels in the court hall, so let's wait until the Great Court Meeting is over in a few days.

When sleeping at night, Duke Yi did not stay in the concubine's room either.

After the maids were scattered, Dang saw that Yi Guogong looked a little strange, and asked: "Master, what happened in the court today?"

Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "Nothing happened. It's the most worry-free son in our family who finally knows how to advance and retreat. Today in the court... Hey, don't mention it, they are all big things, and any one can be taken out. It's been a noisy day."

Mrs. Dang is educated, and the couple have spent most of their lives. Since they were young, they have been in contact with some political affairs in the Xungui family. Duke Yi also talked about a few things in the court today as usual.

After casually mentioning a few, Mrs. Dang said with a smile: "Yes, whether it's water transportation or minting and abolishing the two, it's strange if you don't quarrel. Why, Yu'er didn't say anything today?"

Liu Sheng had a good time, recalling the situation in the court hall, and said with a smile: "Jiangsu Jiedu envoy obviously greeted Yu'er in advance. Otherwise, he would have said a lot by himself. After the greeting, he must have done Pioneer, I want Yuer to follow the trend and continue."

"However, Yu'er acted as if she was asleep, and didn't say a word. The matter of water transportation is simply a quagmire. It's best not to get involved."

"It is said in the market that you forget your mother when you marry a daughter-in-law. I think it is appropriate to apply this to Yu'er. Now I have learned how to advance and retreat. When I was playing hot air balloons to seek a family back then, I didn't expect that there was such a thing behind him." Big family, hundreds of people. Now think about it, hey..."

After all, I couldn’t help shaking my head, neither happy nor helpless, the last one, hey, too much emotion brewed, even the person next to the pillow for 30 years can’t hear it.

Mrs. Dang was silent for a moment and said: "This is also a good thing. Whoever he is for, after all, he will no longer let his temper go. In recent years, he has been promoted too fast, and I have always been worried about it. Every year when he enters Beijing, he will come up with Some things. His Majesty may like it, but being with you is like being with a tiger."

"Besides, the child is about to grow up. He was young back then, so he just thinks too much now. The master doesn't have to think so much. Besides, it was just to find a family background for him back then. How could he ever want to go this far? .”

When the two talked about this, they were all inexplicable.Back then, I thought that even if the emperor liked him, he would be appointed as a guard, and he would go to Heilongjiang for a walk, and then go to his uncle to hone his training when the Southwest reformed and returned to the country in the future.

But in just ten years, things were completely beyond the original plan and control.Not only did their family feel a little at a loss, but Qi Guogong didn't expect to come to this point at the beginning.

What Qi Guogong thought back then, indeed, he also thought about promoting Liu Yu's canonization, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.What Qi Guogong was thinking about was nothing more than the fact that the descendants of Xungui were getting worse from generation to generation, and one of his own people had to find someone who could resist and protect his own people in the future.

But that is to let Liu Yuxian be in the emperor's heart first, to work through his qualifications, accumulate military exploits, survive until the age of 40, and be awarded a title.

Everything is out of control.

Thinking of this, Duke Yi couldn't help laughing again.

"Now, Lao Tian's side is also riding a tiger. This time, it turns out that Yu'er is firing cannons in the court, so our family is worried; in the future, he will also be worried."

Mrs. Dang said with a smile: "Zi Feiyu, An Zhiyu's joy? The master thinks that the Tian family can't get off the tiger, but he doesn't know that maybe it suits his heart. They are both founding dukes. When they reach the top, what else can they ask for?"

"It's still Qi Guogong who thinks clearly. This honorable family rests with the country. Dashun Guozuo lasts, and honors and wealth last longer. If the world changes, scholars and scholars will still be prosperous, but honors and honors will be different. Didn't the master say that Qi Guogong also said a lot in the court today?"

The four words of resting with the country may be the one who thinks most clearly in the Xunguili of Chaozhong and Duke Yi's mansion.

Because it occupied the mansion of Ding Guogong of the former dynasty, when General Quan came to Beijing and tortured him, he was ruthless.How many nobles from the former dynasty are alive?How many Jiangnan families have fallen?

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Lao Tian did say a lot today. But he was caught by someone. We nobles can't get money on the canal, and we can't get a penny for food and card. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s really powerless.”

"But in the past few years, Yu'er has established a trading company, but it has attracted many of us."

"With conflicts of interest, you won't have enough confidence to speak."

"People asked: Shipping is good for those who participate in the shares. Qi Guogong supports shipping. Is it for the public? Or for private?"

"You haven't seen Lao Tian's face today, and the admonishment doctor is almost pointing his nose at him and scolding him 'in the name of public affairs, but in fact he is private'."

"You also know that drunkards don't mean to drink. Pointing at Sangsang and scolding Huai. Now that Songjiang is doing well, the court can guess that His Majesty's inner wealth is also a stake. His Majesty's face is not good. If you agree Shipping, doesn't this mean that His Majesty is doing it for the private use of internal funds?"

"Yu'er didn't get involved in this matter at all, but Qi Guogong was attacked so much, so he had no choice but to stand up and talk nonsense about the difference between public and private, utilitarian benevolence and righteousness."

"Can he talk about those who have read sage books since childhood?"

"Inflict humiliation on yourself."

Duke Yi didn't care too much about Liu Yu's "self-inflicted humiliation", which one who wandered around the court without being scolded was just a mouthful?

Besides, one must be educated in cursing. Lord Yi seriously doubted whether Liu Yu could understand the allusions in some of the words of the doctor today.

This time, the marriage between Duke Yi and Duke Qi, although Liu Yu's canonization is equivalent to a separation of the family, is not the same after all.

At least before he died, before the title was passed on to the eldest son, many things could not be separated.

Today the court hall is really like the bird and animal garden in the royal garden.

From water transportation and sea transportation, to the abolition of the two yuan to replace the fire consumption, and to the exchange of Jiaozi banknotes and Spanish silver dollars at several customs along the coast, it was a quarrel.The silver in Fujian and Guangdong is almost becoming the Spanish silver dollar as the legal tender. Many people have their own ideas in their hearts, whether they are loyal to the country or seek personal gain.

The quarrel may continue tomorrow, the emperor's face is not good-looking, and all the ministers are also angry.

However, Duke Yi never spoke. In the past few years, he gradually realized that Liu Yu was thinking too much.It's not ambition, but it seems to have an idea about Dashun's future.

I don't know if this idea has been approved by the emperor, but Duke Yi can probably feel it.

Liu Yu seems to want to separate the source of wealth of the nobles from the land.

Either invest in sea trade, or invest in workshops, forming an unprecedented special situation: just like Qi Guogong was attacked today, but unfortunately this has not reached that level, such as the interests of the nobles and the sea. firmly bound.

It is impossible for the emperor not to know about such an action.

Obviously, this kind of policy is the same as the Wude Palace and the imperial examination. The emperor probably wanted to set up a gang that was not so closely related to the land, so that in the future, he would check the acres of land, first take the nobles, and then make up for the sweet dates of Haimao. Let Xungui support the attack on the land of the gentry?

It's hard to say.

Therefore, Lord Yi judged that Liu Yu, who was in charge of the navy, would not last long.

It is very likely that Dashun will undergo another reform in the future, which may expand the scope of practical learning, recruit naval students from civilians, and thus adopt a system similar to the imperial examination.

Relying on a wide range of practical studies, some people at the bottom were encouraged to take the route of examination and selection, "making a profit", and were controlled by the emperor.

The nobles can take money, but if they have deep interests in the sea, they can't control the navy.

Therefore, Duke Yi felt that there would definitely be more troubles in the future.

Regardless of the navy, even if there is no war at sea for the time being, Liu Yu is now the earl, and his official position is also the Jiedushi of Whale Sea. Although this Jiedushi may be the poorest, poorest and least populous Jiedushi in the world, but After all, he is still a Jiedushi.

Regardless of the navy in the future, they will definitely enter the court, or they will be sent out to serve as officials in the frontier.These are puddles that peel off the skin.

He had no experience of working in this environment before, and he was either training soldiers or playing sea games. Duke Yi was very worried about what would happen to Liu Yu in the future.

Thinking of this, Duke Yi sighed and said, "I'm looking forward to it. In the future, Yu'er will be in charge of practical studies. Didn't Your Majesty say that you want to build a science academy? If you want me to say, it would be the best for Yu'er to manage the science academy in the future."

"He saves trouble, and we feel at ease."

Mrs. Dang said with a smile: "What the master said is very true. The situation in our family is already at its peak. It is better to be more peaceful. Yu'er is young and wants to do something again. In the future, I will think clearly. The master is also now It doesn't matter, isn't it fine?"

"Besides, the boss's ability is lax, and he can't do it well. He will just guard this title in the future. As for Yu'er, he will be the dean of Naluoshizi Academy of Sciences honestly in the future. He likes those Western learning... Uh, No, practical learning."

The "children sending pictures" of the Virgin Mary at home were all burned after the ban on religion. The distinction between "practical learning" and "Western learning" appointed by the emperor should be paid attention to when there is no one, lest it will be easy to say in the future, and it will be a disaster. From the mouth.

Dang thought in his heart that when Liu Yu got married in the future, he would have a family.Although it doesn't sound good to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, but being a human child is different from being a parent.

When the day is different, you should know that when you should retreat, just retreat.Of course, it is possible to think about the longevity of Dashun Guozuo, and the nobles will retire with the country, this is a long-term plan; but in the process, if something happens to oneself, wouldn't it be for others to make wedding clothes?
Regardless of the party family or the Liu family, this is the founding duke, and it has really reached its peak.The feudal dynasty was in its heyday, and no one thought about rebellion. Even if they did a good job, could they still be promoted from duke to emperor?
Duke Yi and Dang both thought clearly, but they were afraid that Liu Yu would not understand.

"Master, I know about the daughter of the Tian family. She also likes practical learning, which fits Yu'er's mind. After getting married and seeing her first child, she will probably figure it out."

"Although I've heard that the doll is unusual, but I think it's just that other people are quiet and she is active; other women are needleworkers, she likes to read and has played riding and shooting a few times. It's just a girl, so what? You are a smart one, and I will advise Yu'er in the future. You don't have to worry about it, master."

Dang felt that at most Tian Zhenyi was different from other women, and she was also from a noble family, so what else could she do?

However, if she knew about the secret letters that Tian Zhenyi wrote to Liu Yu, and Tian Zhenyi's emotions for those historical witches in her eyes, she might be so frightened that she would run to Duke Qi's mansion overnight and take Na Caiyan Strangled to death, then burned the letter of appointment...
