The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

At this time, in the study of Confucius Mansion, Kong Taichang's face was not very good-looking.

"Father, this is the best way, so don't hesitate to promise your daughter."

"Yao'er, have you really thought it through?"

"Father, I'm afraid that if I do this, you will be troubled by the emperor, and you will be punished by the emperor." Ever since the emperor bestowed a marriage to the acting king, Kong Yao's heart has been in a mess.A few days ago, my father refused to the emperor, but the emperor did not agree.The emperor was determined to let her marry into the Prince Dai's mansion.She must never marry into Dai Wangfu, no matter for the Kong family or for herself.

"Yao'er, if other people become nuns, they can return to vulgarity in the future, but you are the only one who can't. Once you become a nun, you will be a nun for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to return to vulgarity." Kong Taichang also thought about letting his daughter go to a Taoist temple or a nun. An monk.After a few years, everyone has forgotten their daughter, so they let her return to vulgarity quietly and send her to her hometown to get married.However, after he thought about it later, the Dai Wang could not easily give up his daughter.Even if his daughter becomes a monk, Dai Wang will always keep an eye on his daughter.If the daughter returns to vulgarity later, I am afraid that the Dai Wang will still want to marry her.

"Father, my daughter knows." During this period of time, Kong Yao also thought a lot, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find a good way to refuse this marriage.There are only two ways to avoid this marriage. One is that she dies.After she dies, she doesn't have to marry the acting king as a side concubine.The second is to become a monk.She became a nun and did not need to marry the acting king.

She is not afraid of death, but if she dies, her parents and brother will be sad, so she can only become a monk.

The idea of ​​becoming a monk is also the result of her deliberation.

"I will be with the blue lantern all my life, and I cannot marry and have children." Kong Taichang said, "Stay in a temple all my life, do you really want to do this?"

"Father, to tell you the truth, I don't want to marry at all." She didn't want to marry since she was a child, and she didn't want to attach her destiny to a man. "I just want to study and be with books. For me Said, it's good to be in the temple, you can read quietly, and you won't be disturbed by others..."

Kong Taichang was frightened by his daughter's "deviant" words.In the eyes of the world, a woman should marry and have children after she reaches the age of Ji.If you don't marry and have children, you will be ridiculed by the world if you are an old girl at home.

Kong Yao feels that after becoming a monk, not only does she not need to marry, but she can continue to study and learn, which really fits her heart.To be honest, she wished she could become a monk immediately, stay away from the world of gossip, and study quietly.

"Father, this is the most useful method at present, so don't hesitate." She really thought it was good to become a monk. "I don't believe that the emperor can force me to marry the acting king after I become a monk."

"Yao'er, think about it."

"Father, I've thought about it a long time ago." Kong Yao said with a smile on his face, "I think it's good to become a monk."

Kong Taichang laughed angrily at his daughter's words: "Did you want to become a monk and not get married a long time ago?"

"That's right." This marriage just gave her an honest reason not to marry and have children.

Kong Taichang: "..." He never expected that his little daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, would be so...so rebellious.

"Father is not afraid of getting involved with you."

"Father, just promise me."

Kong Taichang said with guilt all over his face: "It's all because Dad is sorry for you."

"Father, I don't blame you for this, so don't blame yourself." Kong Yao continued, "Father, this period is the best time for me to become a monk. Even if the emperor and the king are angry, they can't take ours." Life."

Kong Taichang knew in his heart that what his daughter said was right, but he couldn't bear it.He would rather destroy himself than his daughter become a monk.

"Father, you should never stop being disturbed by it."

Kong Taichang took a deep look at his daughter, and immediately said with a heavy and helpless tone: "Father promises you."

Kong Yao said happily, "Thank you dad."

Seeing his daughter's joyful appearance, Kong Taichang couldn't laugh or cry.It is estimated that only my daughter is so happy to become a monk in this world.

"It's useless for me to agree, you have to convince your mother to agree."

"Father, mother will definitely agree, I will tell mother now."

Kong Yao didn't know how to tell Mrs. Kong, but Mrs. Kong quickly agreed.

Kong Yuan also didn't want his younger sister to become a monk, but he knew in his heart that it was the best way for her to become a monk.

Kong Taichang originally thought that his wife would not agree, but he did not expect his wife to happily agree to his daughter's becoming a monk.

"Father and mother, it's not too late to become a monk. I will go to become a monk tomorrow."

Seeing her daughter's eagerness to become a monk, Kong Taichang was in a very complicated mood and didn't know what to say for a while.

Mrs. Kong agreed with her daughter's statement: "Tomorrow I will take you to the Bodhi Temple, saying that it is to pray for the late queen, so that people will not be suspicious."

"Then we will set off tomorrow morning."

"I will stay with you in Bodhi Temple for a longer period of time, so that people will not be suspicious." After learning about her daughter's idea of ​​becoming a monk, Mrs. Kong thought of many things for a moment, "The host of Bodhi Temple and I Acquaintance, I will ask her to shave or become a monk for you quietly, so that the emperor and Dai Wang find out that you have become a monk, and you have been a monk for a while, and they will not be able to force you to return to the vulgar."

"Mother is very considerate."

"You can't pack too much luggage or bring too many books for the time being." Mrs. Kong said, "I'll send the books to you after a while." Mrs. Kong is not rigid like other wives. She doesn't want to get married, but wants to become a monk and study and learn with peace of mind, she has no objection.As a mother, she only wants her daughter to be happy.

"Come on, let's pack our bags."

"Yes, mother."

The mother and daughter went to pack their luggage happily, leaving the father and son looking at each other in blank dismay.

Kong Yuan came back to his senses, and smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid only my little sister is going to become a monk so happily."

Originally, Kong Taichang felt guilty because his daughter became a monk, but now seeing his daughter's happy appearance, the heaviness in his heart disappeared immediately.

"I hope it will be as smooth as my little sister thinks." If you can't even become a monk, you will only die.

"It's all the fault of that bastard." When Kong Taichang thought of the previous patriarch, he immediately became furious, wishing to whip his corpse.It's a pity that the whip can't be used, because the Patriarch died without a whole body.

"Father, we have to find a way to let the emperor reuse our Kong family." The Kong family is considered to be highly valued in the court, but compared with the Li family, they seem to be not so highly valued. "You can't let the emperor use our Kong family as a bargaining chip, or as a check and balance tool."

"What can you do?" Kong Taichang didn't want to change their situation and let the emperor reuse their Kong family.

Kong Yuan shook his head: "I didn't think of a good idea."

"It's not a good idea to be a father." After Kong Taichang finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, "Oh..."

At this time, in the Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao was reading the history books of the previous dynasty, and Liang Zhaoyi was reading the imperial book that Emperor Wu of Zhou had rewarded him.

Reading history books was requested by Liang Zhaoyi.In her opinion, only by reading more history books can she understand more things and avoid some mistakes.

"Mother and concubine, I'm almost finished reading the history books of the previous dynasty. Next, do you want to read the history books of the previous dynasty?" He likes reading history books very much, because there are many interesting and interesting things, and there are also many strange things.

"The history books of the Zheng Dynasty are incomplete, and there are not many in the palace."

"Why is this?"

"The founding emperor of the previous dynasty was the emperor who stole the country. He was guilty of fear of being reviled by future generations, so he ordered the history books of the Zheng Dynasty to be burned."

"And this matter!" Zhao Yao didn't understand the affairs of the Zheng Dynasty, after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasties.

"It's not just the Zheng Dynasty. Many historical books were lost in the previous dynasties." Liang Zhaoyi felt that this was the most distressing thing.

"Is no one going to collect it?" Zhao Yao said, "In the dream, Zhao Yao's history has never been broken, because people have been collecting historical materials and compiling them into books, such as "Historical Records." These two days, Zhao Yao And intermittently remembered some things in the dream.

"Historical Records?"

"Yes, this book starts from the Yellow Emperor in ancient times and continues to the Han Wudi era, a total of more than 3000 years..."

Listening to Zhao Yao's introduction of "Historical Records", Liang Zhaoyi's heart trembled.

"This is really a great history book."

"Yes, so why can't we collect historical materials and compile a "Historical Records"?" There were too many wars in the Xia and Zheng dynasties, and many historical materials were lost or destroyed. It is for this reason that we need to collect historical materials and compile a book. Very complete history book.In this way, if wars break out in the future, history will not be broken. "Why didn't the father send someone to collect and compile it?"

After hearing Zhao Yao's words, Liang Zhaoyi was shocked.

"You're right, we should find someone to collect historical materials and compile a copy of our "Historical Records"." She paused, then calmed down and said, "This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Your father proposed." Now that the world is basically at peace, the emperor should also send someone to compile history.

"Mother, I don't want to read it." Zhao Yao took out a quill and said, "I want to draw the design of the farm."

Liang Zhaoyi asked curiously, "What do you want the farm to look like?"

"When I finish the painting, you will know, Concubine Mu." Zhao Yao deliberately kept it a secret.He had just painted when he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Liang Zhaoyi and asked, "Concubine Mother, will Father Emperor come to Kunde Palace tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is the day when Emperor Wu of Zhou comes to Kunde Hall every month.However, now is the anniversary of the death of the first empress, Zhao Yao guessed that Emperor Wu of Zhou might not come to Kunde Hall.

"I'll come over for dinner."

Every year during the anniversary of the death of the first empress, Emperor Wu of Zhou would still come to the Kunde Hall, but only for meals and not to stay overnight.

"Mother and concubine, then I won't bother you and father. Tomorrow, I will go to Xingde Palace to find my fourth brother." Every time the father came to Kunde Palace, he would bully him, rob him of delicious food, and deliberately question his homework.If you can't answer, you will be pinched, pinched your nose, and spanked.

Liang Zhaoyi looked at Zhao Yao tenderly, without speaking.

Zhao Yao's heart was flustered by Liang Zhaoyi's look, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother Concubine, I won't go to see Fourth Brother tomorrow, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid."

"That's good."

Zhao Yao muttered in a low voice: "I hope my father won't grab food from me tomorrow."

Wait, when the father comes tomorrow, he can apply to the father to go to the Hulong Temple to pray for the late queen.

Kong Yao: I am a monk, I am happy!
