My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 105 Qin Liangyu has arrived

In Nanhaizi, in the lobby of the old Yamen, Zhu Youzheng was holding a copy of "The Supplement to the Extensions of the University" and reading it with gusto.

Below him sat a sleepy teacher.

This is Zhan Shiqian Xiangkun, the young master of Zhan Shifu.

It can be seen that although Shenzong does not like the prince Guangzong, the preparation team left for the prince is very good.

The young master of Zhan Shi Mansion, Zhan Shi Qian Xiangkun, is the descendant of the concubine Chengzong on the left Chunfang, the right is Zhou Bingmo and Wei Guangwei of the right Chunfang, the middle right is Li Guangyuan, and the right praises Li Biao.

This leadership team is basically composed of centrists.

It's a pity that Guangzong was a fool, got too close to the courtiers, and promoted a bunch of Donglin back in a muddle.

And when Tianqi came to power, among this group of people, only Sun Chengzong was an acquaintance, and the others were not familiar at all and could not be mentioned.

Today's Zhu Youxiao is just across the pot, table and kang, and he doesn't think about using these people with little experience in governing.

As for the matter of the Sutra Banquet, although Zhu Youxiao ordered a few people to send them out, the Sutra Banquet could not be stopped, so the people from Zhan Shi's Mansion were asked to talk about it.

The dispute over the education of the royal prince in the Ming Dynasty reached its peak during the Jiajing period.

For this reason, Jiajing hired several sons.

Even speaking in a dark way, the struggle over the country may not be Wanli using Prince Fu as a target to protect himself, the eldest son of the emperor.

In the 11th year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing's eldest son Zhu Zaiji was born. From his name, we can see Jiajing's expectations for his eldest son.

However, less than three months later, the eldest son died.

From the 15th year of Jiajing to the 16th year of Jiajing, it was the peak of Jiajing's fertility. Five sons were born in succession, but by the 28th year of Jiajing, only three survived.

At this time, Jiajing kept his sons by his side and taught them personally.

The second eldest son is Zhu Zaihen, the crown prince of Zhuang Jing, the third son of the emperor is Ming Mu Zong Zhu Zaihe, and the fourth son of the emperor is Zhu Zai Zhen, the king of Jing.

During this period, the serial deaths of his sons made Jiajing, who was ignorant of the dangers of the world, doubt his life. So he asked a Taoist priest named Tao Zhongwen, and the answer he got was: the two dragons do not meet.

At first, Jiajing was skeptical about this issue, but in the 28th year of Jiajing's reign, Zhu Zaihe was crowned prince. However, only three days later, his second son Zhu Zaihe died suddenly.

Regarding such an evil matter, Jiajing finally chose to compromise, adopted the Taoist priest's suggestion, and handed over the prince's education to the foreign court.

Since then, the two dragons have not seen each other.

Nowadays, although Zhu Youxiao has ascended the throne as emperor, he has never received formal education. Although he was educated by Sun Chengzong in private, in the eyes of the outer court, he is illiterate.

In other words, they have not been brainwashed by traditional Confucian classics.

However, Zhu Youxiao was obviously not interested in the teaching materials sent to him by James Mansion. What kind of stuff were they? Which of the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Zhu Xi should be read by him as an emperor?
Why don't you tell me about the Tao Te Ching that Zhu Yuanzhang personally annotated.

The books he wants to read are all decided by himself.

Three books: The Law of the Ming Dynasty, the New Meanings of the Three Classics, and the Supplement to the Meanings of the Great Learning.

Regarding the three stacks of books placed in front of him, Qian Xiangkun has one head and two heads.

It’s impossible to talk about the Ming Law.

The New Meaning of the Three Classics was written by Wang Anshi for the reform, but I have not read it.

According to Daxue Yanyi, this was written by Qiu Jun during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. However, this man was of too high a rank. Not many people at that time could understand the book he wrote, let alone him.

This also caused Qian Xiangkun's current embarrassing situation, which he couldn't explain.

There was no choice but for the emperor to put it on top and look at his own, while he dozed down below.

What can be done? You can't just talk nonsense.

Now the emperor has left a well-read image among the ministers. If he talks nonsense and the emperor points it out, he may end up like Zou Yuanbiao, who is dismissed from the official position.

When the ministers outside asked, they just said that they had told the emperor.

How dare those people dare to ask the emperor to write down lecture notes?

Holding a small pen in his hand, he would make notes on the book from time to time.

There were really many talented people in the Ming Dynasty. Qiu Jun wrote "The Supplement to the Explanations of the Great Learning", which has 160 volumes and is divided into "Zheng Chao Ting", "Zheng Bai Guan", "Guo Bang Ben", "Zhi Guo Yong", "Zheng Guan Yong" Twelve chapters: "Ming Ritual and Music", "Zhiji Sacrifice", "Chongjiaohua", "Preparation of Regulations", "Careful Penalty Constitution", "Strict Military Preparation", "Controlling Yidi", and "Successful Transformation".

They put forward their own opinions from the perspectives of economic, political, cultural, educational, judicial, and military development.It provides Zhu Youxiao with a very good idea on how to reconstruct the imperial power structure.

While he was busy sketching, he saw Liu Shimin coming to the emperor's ear and saying something.

"Your Majesty, Qin Liangyu has arrived."

"Oh? So fast?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the messenger is in a hurry. I met General Qin in Kaifeng. She came to Beijing at starry night."

"Please."

Putting down the book in his hand, Zhu Youxiao quickly stood up and said, then he felt something was wrong and said quickly.

"I will go and greet you personally."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Hearing this, Liu Shimin hesitated.

"General Qin is a military general, taking the position of his husband, and he is a woman. His Majesty personally welcomes him. If word gets out, it may not be a good thing for General Qin or your Majesty."

At this time, Liu Shimin said cautiously.

"What do you know."

Putting aside Liu Shimin, Zhu Youxiao walked out. As he passed by, he did not forget to say something to Qian Xiangkun.

"Qian Aiqing, that's it for today. Let's go back first."

"My minister retire."

He was awakened by Liu Shimin's footsteps and saw the emperor standing up. After hearing the words behind him, Qian Xiangkun quickly bowed.

It's a pity that the emperor has guests, so he can finally leave.

As soon as he left the old Yamen, Zhu Youxiao saw Qin Liangyu waiting outside the door.

"What a tall woman."

This was Zhu Youxiao's first impression when he saw Qin Liangyu.

Today, he is 1.6 meters tall, and Qin Liangyu is a head taller than him, at least 1.8 meters by visual inspection.

Qin Liangyu was stunned when he saw a young man wearing Tuanlong uniform walking out of the yamen, but then the little eunuch next to him whispered.

"This is your Majesty."

"My dear wife, Qin Liangyu, respectfully greets you."

Hearing this, Qin Liangyu quickly knelt down and said.

"General, please get up quickly."

He quickly stepped forward to help Qin Liangyu, but after doing so, Zhu Youxiao found that he couldn't help him.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman, she is already 46 years old, in her prime, extremely strong, and has a resolute personality. Zhu Youxiao cannot help her at all.

"My dear wife Qin Liangyu, please bow to your Majesty. Long live my Majesty!"

Looking at the stubborn General Qin, Zhu Youxiao felt helpless and waited for him to finish his salute.

"General, you don't have to be like this. Just stay calm."

Looking at Qin Liangyu, he was dressed in soft clothes. Although he had been running around for several days, his heroic spirit had not diminished, and his whole body exuded the strong toughness unique to soldiers.

"I read the report from the past. In the 28th year of Wanli, General Qin followed Li Hualong to defeat the bandit chief Yang Yinglong. I longed for it."

"The Tang Dynasty had Li Pingyang, the Song Dynasty had Liang Hongyu, and the Ming Dynasty had generals. I'm so lucky."

Qin Liangyu is the only woman in Chinese history who is recorded in the official history as a famous general of the dynasty.

Among the civil and military monarchs and ministers of the late Ming Dynasty, no one was without controversy in terms of their merits and demerits, but this female general was the only one who was almost unanimously praised by two words: reverence.

The land of Sichuan and Shu in the Ming Dynasty is represented by the Qin and Ma families. Sichuan people have never lost their country.
