big song poppi

Chapter 436 0432 [Great Master of Confucianism! 】

As soon as Qin Hui left, the eunuch behind him told Song Huizong Zhao Ji word for word about the conspiracy between the two in the study.

After listening, Zhao Ji sighed slightly: "The emperor is getting older, so I don't have to worry about it."

The great eunuch Li Yan asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to give me a warning?"

"No need."

Zhao Ji waved his hand.

Li Yan was shocked and looked at Zhao Ji in disbelief.

In other words, the Emperor agreed to His Majesty's plan?

hiss!

Thinking of this, Li Yan cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, think twice. The Jin people and the Puppet Qi are all ambitious. It's better to let them bite dogs, and I, the Song Dynasty, will reap the benefits."

"You still need to tell me?"

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has always regarded itself as orthodox in Central Plains China.

……

"Okay."

"Get up."

Although the Liao Kingdom was later affected by Sinicization and began to fight for Chinese orthodoxy, no one took it seriously.

evening.

Except for those in the court, no one among the people anymore calls Puppet Qi, but instead calls him Qi State.

At present, the hearts of the entire south are in a state of flux, and they are privately discussing the issue of passing on the national jade seal.

This is what scares Zhao Ji.

Han Zhen said: "Give her some practice to sharpen her teeth."

Han Zhen picked up a piece of mutton and put it into Xiao Heyue's bowl.

In the past, in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats and wealthy gentry, Han Zhen was just a weakling, and they looked down upon him. In addition, the Song Dynasty was bound to their interests, so most of them were unwilling to surrender to the thieves.

Barbarians are barbarians, and their status as Khitans means that they are destined to say that future generations will not recognize them as Chinese orthodoxy.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Heyue immediately gave up and waved her little hands to try to snatch the mutton back from her mother's mouth.

Puppet Qi must be destroyed. If we can get the imperial seal, losing our homeland is nothing!

……

"Molar teeth have their own glue bones, so mutton is easy to get stuck in the throat." Han Zhang explained.

The little girl can finally speak, and her little mouth keeps chattering all day long.

After swallowing the mutton in two or three mouthfuls, Mrs. Han Zhang looked at Han Zhen angrily: "Erlang, please don't mess around. The little lotus crescent moon is not even long, how can you chew the mutton."

But it's different now, the Chuanguo Jade Seal popped out again.

Why?

In addition to the fact that Li Cunxu's ancestor was a Jin king conferred by the Tang Dynasty, he also owned a jade seal passed down from the country, which was the key.

"Eat more, baby."

But it's different now. He is destined to be here, and if he joins Han Zhen again, he won't have any psychological burden at all.

Li Yan was excited and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made a mistake."

And it still appeared at the coronation ceremony of the Puppet Qi Dynasty, and was presented by the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty. What does this mean?

A purely Han country occupying the Central Plains, and possessing a national jade seal, it is more orthodox in terms of legal system than the Song Dynasty.

Destiny!

At the same time, the orthodox identity of Song Dynasty and China also encountered the most severe challenges.

Zhao Ji curled his lips and lectured: "You are considered an old man next to me, how come you can't even distinguish priorities?"

But Pseudo-Qi is different. Han Zhen is a real Han Chinese, and Pseudo-Qi is also a real Han country.

The Later Tang Dynasty, like the Liao Kingdom, was a foreign nation and was founded by the Shatuo people. However, from the beginning to the end, the Later Tang Dynasty claimed that it was the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. Even the History of the Five Dynasties compiled in the early Song Dynasty recognized the Later Tang Dynasty as the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.

The reason why he agreed to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Qi Dynasty was that recovering his homeland was only secondary.

Originally, after the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty and the disappearance of the national jade seal, no one had anything to fight about, and whether it existed or not was not that important.

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said lightly.

What kind of virtue does the Jin man have? How could he, who has experienced it, not know?

But it is the lesser of two evils. Compared with the Puppet Qi, the Jin people are nothing. As long as the Puppet Qi can be destroyed, he thinks it is worth it, even if the Jin people do not return their homeland south of the Yellow River in the end.

The little guy stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Han Zhang was so frightened that she quickly took the lead and stuffed the mutton into her mouth.

After finishing his day's government affairs, Han Zhen ate with his wives and concubines in the main hall.

Xiao Heyue sat in Mrs. Han Zhang's arms, her face covered with mush from eating, and she shouted at the top of her lungs from time to time.

The most important thing is to pass on the national jade seal!

Don't underestimate this thing. The influence of the Chuanguo Jade Seal is not only for ordinary people, but also for the class of scholar-bureaucrats, landowners and gentry.

Han Zhen nodded and stopped feeding his daughter randomly.

The real purpose is to destroy the pseudo-Qi.

"Daddy, daddy."

After dinner, and after chatting with his wives and concubines for a while, Han Zhen went to the Alien Beast Pavilion to play with the panda, hands behind his back.

Now he is completely familiar with several pandas. Not only the two cubs, but also the big pandas are allowed to be played by him.

Just because every time Han Zhen came, he would bring them two eggs as a snack.

Now the pandas have developed a conditioned reflex. When they see him, they throw away the bamboo and come up to him for eggs.

After petting the panda for a while, Han Zhen let the tiger out again and walked around the platform a few times.

Returning to Yanfu Palace, he went straight to the bedroom where Ma Shuyao was.

"What are you giggling about?"

Seeing Ma Shuyao sitting in front of the dowry with a smile on her lips, Han Zhen couldn't help but ask.

The little girl threw herself into Han Zhen's arms and shared her joy: "Husband, I have received a letter from Qingzhou. Grandma and Aunt Li will be coming to the capital in a few days."

"Your mother probably misses you."

Han Zhen smiled slightly.

Ma Shuyao explained: "The main reason is that Aunt Li is moving to the capital. It happens that Auntie also wants to come to visit me, and she happens to have someone to take care of me on the way."

"Li Qingzhao's family is moving to the capital?"

After Zhao Mingcheng surrendered in Kaicheng, Han Zhen found him a job as Yi Cao, the government official. Now that his family has moved to the capital, is it possible that he resigned?

Ma Shuyao shook her head: "Aunt Li was the only one. Although I didn't say it clearly in the letter, I guessed that Aunt Li and Xianggong Zhao had another quarrel. When I was still in Shandong, Aunt Li and Xianggong Zhao had a fight. We often quarreled, and the relationship became increasingly tense..."

Talking about gossip, the little girl became energetic and chattered non-stop.

Han Zhen held the little girl's delicate body and kneaded the small millstone with his big hands.

As she spoke, Ma Shuyao's voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, she raised her head slightly, stared at Han Zhen with her big misty eyes, and said in a sweet voice: "Husband, kiss."

Hearing this, Han Zhen held his little face and pressed it. After some intimacy, my husband stopped at the last step.

Mashu Yao pouted and said, "Husband, I am sixteen years old this year."

Han Zhen joked: "But my hands tell me that you are only thirteen or fourteen years old at most."

"Husband~"

A trace of shame flashed in Ma Shuyao's eyes.

Han Zhen rubbed her hair and said warmly: "My husband likes Youyou very much, don't worry, just be a happy naughty boy every day."

"Husband, you are so kind."

Ma Shuyao was extremely moved and her nose was sour.

After chatting for a while, the two went to bed early.

The next day.

After having breakfast with the little girl, Han Zhen went to Chui Gong Hall to handle government affairs.

Tan Xingzhong took advantage of the situation and asked to be exempted from the summer tax of Zhending Mansion.

A few days ago, the Jin people went south, and most of the food under Zhending Mansion was burned down.

Without hesitation, Han Zhen drew a circle with a pen and placed it on the left side of the hall table.

The approved memorial is circled and placed on the left side.

For memorials that are not approved, draw a triangle and place it on the right side.

These unapproved memorials will not be destroyed directly. The cabinet will review them again and keep those that are controversial for discussion with Han Zhen.

At this moment, Liu Chang reported: "Your Majesty, someone from the Kong family is here to see your Majesty."

"the Kongs?"

Han Zhen hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Xuan!"

Not long after, an old scholar stepped into the hall.

The old Confucian bowed and said: "Kong Duancao, a humble citizen, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Han Zhen asked: "If you don't stay well in Shandong, why come to the capital?"

In fact, the influence of the Kong family in the Song Dynasty was not as great as imagined.

During the Song Dynasty, especially the Confucian scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty, they were in a period of the most intense ideological collision.

They are all so arrogant. Otherwise, it would be impossible to shout out the phrase "I am the footnote to all the six classics".

Neo-Confucianism and psychology in later generations had already begun to sprout at this time.

Not to mention the Confucius family in Qufu, Confucius had to suffer two major blows during his lifetime.

Therefore, Han Zhen was not polite to the Kong family.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Han Zhen's tone, Kong Duancao's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "As a small citizen, there are scholars in the palace, with little cracks. In the past, we have inherited the great kindness of generations. Now we celebrate the prosperity of the new dynasty." , looking at the admiration of learning, I am staggering and fearful. Your Majesty is a scholar of heaven and man, comparable to a saint. The common people are willing to ask your Majesty to be the great master of Confucianism!"

"..."

Han Zhen was suddenly speechless.

Good guy!

The title of Kublai Khan fell to himself.

However, compared to Kublai Khan's old Mongolian brother who couldn't even speak Chinese, it seems a little more reasonable for him, a Han Chinese, to be regarded as the great master of Confucianism.

Yan Jie, who was standing in the corner, twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Kong Duancao who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression.

His ancestor Yan Huinai was Confucius's most proud disciple, and he had always been proud of it.

But now that I saw this scene, I wanted to jump up and kick Kong Duancao to death.

So fucking embarrassing!

Taking a deep breath, Han Zhen pointed at Kong Duancao and said: "Now, immediately, go back to Shandong. If you wait a little longer, I will destroy your Qufu Kong family!"

"Xiaomin, please resign!"

Kong Duancao was frightened. Unexpectedly, he hit the horse's leg by flattering him, and he rolled and crawled out of the hall.

Great master of Confucianism, who the hell is he insulting?

If Han Zhen really agreed, he might be ridiculed by everyone in the world.

After Kong Duancao left, Han Zhen turned to look at Yan Jie and asked, "Have you remembered everything that happened just now?"

"I have noted it down."

Yan Jie nodded in response.

Han Zhen said with a faint smile, "I'll give you a chance to erase this paragraph now."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Yan Jie's eyes, but he shook his head firmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. But as a historian, I should neither add nor subtract a word."

"Just do whatever you want."

Since he, a descendant of Yan Hui, didn't mind, Han Zhen didn't bother to care.

……

Nanjing Road.

A group of Qingzhou troops escorted a carriage and headed straight to Taiyuan on Hedong Road.

On top of the carriage were Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu.

Master Zhong held the letter and sighed deeply: "Brother can't bear it any longer. He's gone after all."

"My condolences to Brother Duanru."

Hearing the news of Zhong Shidao's death, Yao Gu looked complicated.

Zhong Shizhong said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are the ways of heaven. The best destination for warriors like us is to be wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield. It is a pity to die of illness on the bed."

There was silence in the carriage.

Putting away the letter, Master Zhong lowered his voice and said, "What do you think?"

After entering Nanjing Road, the two of them understood the current situation and also knew that Han Zhen redeemed them.

Yao Gu smiled bitterly: "The youngest son of the Liu Zhongwu family has followed the Emperor of Qi to conquer the world since early in the morning. Now Pingzhong is also a general of Qi. What else can I do?"

He also received a letter from Yao Pingzhong, and he had already made a decision in his mind.

Although the Yao family lived in Song Lu for generations, they have done everything they should do, and they feel no regrets. Now it is time to find a way out for the Yao family.

"Ah."

After learning Yao Gu's thoughts, Master Zhong nodded and stopped talking.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.
