Chapter 503 The Master Has Exited
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't know that there are such things in the army. In his knowledge, after death, people will go to the ground for peace.
However, with so many remains, it is difficult to be buried in the ground...
Because there are few people making coffins here, and there are many skeletons, they are all ranked.
There are people who specialize in carpentry in Taowen Academy, and they will practice here for three years. The academy will give a first-level scholarship, 100 taels of silver a year.
Even so, there are still many bones that have not yet been buried.
The ancient people couldn't just bury them. Their funerals were very particular, so even if it was just the thinnest and most ordinary coffin, it had to be made with care.
After leaving this place, it was already late, Wu Youwei sent him back to the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left a meal, Wu Youwei readily agreed.
Wu Youwei has eaten a lot of imperial food, and there is no saying that it tastes good.
During these three days, His Highness the Crown Prince had a great and deep feeling.
Soon after, His Royal Highness and Wu Youwei sent a lot of things over there.
Among the things sent, there were [-] sheep in the nursing home. Because the weather was already cold, all the sheep could be frozen and eaten slowly after being slaughtered, without fear of spoilage.
Among them, Wu Youwei sent one hundred sheep, and His Royal Highness sent two hundred sheep.
Yuyingtang is rice and white flour, with a fish pond in the suburbs of Beijing as a gift, which was bought by His Royal Highness as a gift to Yuyingtang. After the hall master knew about it, he called the fish pond "Prince Fish Pond". From then on, crucian carp was raised in the pond, It was only sent to the Yuyingtang for use, and later generations, it became a fixed asset of the Jingzhong Orphanage, and it also became a famous scenic spot.
A lot of medicinal materials and wood were also sent out. His Royal Highness's private house is very rich, and he can afford it. He also decided to do good deeds every year like his husband, instead of just doing it once.
Persistence is the long-term way.
They are also the people of Daming.
Emperor Xianzong knew the prince's whereabouts very well, and knew what Wu Youwei took him out to see, so he sighed to the eunuch Huai En beside him: "His Royal Highness...you are such a good gentleman! Back then I have experienced a lot, he is different, he grew up in a honeypot..."
The most bitter thing is going out with his father to "work to earn money and have a good meal".
Just one more time, I heard that the East Palace is very frugal now. Of course, this is from Emperor Xianzong's opinion. In fact, from Wu Youwei's point of view, it is still very extravagant... The standard of the royal family is different from that of ordinary people. .
He has not suffered any setbacks, and he is the prince, what setbacks can he suffer?
What is Chujun?That's Guoben!
So, I can only let him know a lot....
What Wu Youwei did was very satisfying to Emperor Xianzong.
"The Grand Master is also your hand-picked Tanhua Lang." Eunuch Wynn didn't say what the prince was like, but could only praise Wu Youwei.
So, Wu Youwei sat at home, and the reward came.
Wu Youwei didn't care about getting a reward out of nowhere.
Anyway, he has too many rewards, and there are still many left untouched in the warehouse.
But he still picked out some small objects and sent them to Songjiang Mansion to Cui Tieniu, and asked him to handle them according to his discretion and distribute them to some outstanding talents, law-abiding merchants, etc., as rewards.
Renshen in the tenth month of winter summoned Zhu Yong to return to court.
Zhu Yong was a celebrity in Chenghua Dynasty.
In the early years, he fought with his father and met Ming Yingzong who was released and returned.
In the second year of Jingtai, he succeeded his father Zhu Qian as Earl of Funing.
After the incident of seizing the gate, Zhu Yong was divided into commanding the Imperial Army of Xuanwei Camp.After that, he commanded the Three Thousand Battalion and also led the Shenji Battalion.
After Emperor Xianzong succeeded to the throne, he changed to supervise the regiment camp.
In the first year of Chenghua, he led an army to quell the first Jingxiang refugee uprising, and was promoted to Marquis on merit.
When Mao Lihai invaded the border, General Zhu Yongpei led his army to resist.
In the sixth year of Chenghua, he discussed Aruo again, won, and awarded the meritorious service to the Marquis.
In the 15th year of Chenghua, General Jinglu went to the east.
After the class teacher, he entered the Jue Baoguo Duke.
Yansui warned the police, and Zhu Yong became a general again. He and Wang Yue sent troops out of the fortress, made new achievements, and returned with great achievements.
In the 17th year of Chenghua, he sent troops to Datong with Wang Yue and others to resist Yisima, won the first merit, and bestowed the successor.
In the 19th year of Chenghua, he led an army to resist the little Mongolian prince and returned victorious.
This time he returned to the court, and his military merits were accumulated to the Taishi.
Zhu Yong has been in the army for 40 years and has been at the border for 20 years. Emperor Xianzong sent His Royal Highness the Prince to meet him at the gate of the capital in person, which shows how much he is valued.
Zhu Yong is one of the rare honorable family members who still lead soldiers in the Chenghua Dynasty. The one who is even more powerful than him is the Duke of England. His old man has now retreated behind the scenes, but his power is still there, and Zhang Lun is leading the army in the south. The navy is also very famous.
And Zhu Yong guarded in the north for 20 years.
Moreover, he once saw Yingzong when he was at his worst, and even visited him, which shows the relationship between Zhu Yongzai and Xianzong.
Wu Youwei accompanied the crown prince down, and at the north gate, they met Duke Bao and Grand Master Bao who had returned to Beijing.
It's just...the people around Duke Bao are either missing arms or legs, or have limited mobility, but they are all very fierce.
Wu Youwei immediately knew who these people were.
He was very polite to Duke Bao, but he admired the people under him even more.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't quite understand, after he met with Duke Bao, he looked behind him.
Zhu Yong is a big and round warrior with a beard on his face, but probably when he came back, someone told him something, his beard...has been shaved clean now, revealing a blue-white beard Stubble, very noticeable on the face.
Wu Youwei thinks of the history, the evaluation of him is only eight words: eight general seals, conquests everywhere.
He was one of the main generals in the mid-Ming Dynasty.
Seeing the probing eyes of His Royal Highness, Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, they are all remnants of soldiers that I brought home this time, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, so they will work here as ministers."
His Royal Highness instantly understood, and immediately respected them: "It's all good."
To be praised by the crown prince, all of them blushed with excitement, but they looked even more ferocious.
After the welcome, the group entered the palace through the north gate under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and had an audience with Emperor Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong really valued Zhu Yong very much, and even had someone host a banquet to receive him. The two hadn't seen each other for 20 years. When Emperor Xianzong was still the prince, he had a good relationship with Zhu Yong. Otherwise, it would have been so many years. It is also impossible for Zhu Yong to control the border alone, so Emperor Xianzong can rest assured.
Zhu Yong seldom mentioned wars with Emperor Xianzong, but he often mentioned children.
"The minister is at the border, and the children at home are grown up. Even the marriage is arranged by the daughter-in-law. The minister was not there when he paid homage to the high hall. I really don't want to leave when I come back this time." Zhu Yong said openly and generously: "I also find a daughter-in-law. Good son-in-law."
Zhu Yong also has a young daughter, who was born to his wife. She is an old woman and Zhu Yong's favorite child. She is 16 years old this year, and she is as beautiful as a flower.
If a different person dared to propose his own daughter in front of Emperor Xianzong, there were only three possibilities, one was to be the emperor's concubine, the other was to be the crown prince's concubine, and the other was to ask the emperor to marry him.
And Zhu Yong is impossible for the first two, because his surname is Zhu!
Since ancient times in China, "the same surname does not marry", they are also surnamed Zhu, maybe 800 years ago, it was a family, and it was impossible to enter the palace.
Then there is only one possibility left, a marriage, Zhu Yong wants to ask for this grace for his daughter.
"Whose hero does Aiqing fall in love with?" Emperor Xianzong was still very tolerant towards Zhu Yong, thinking that it was not easy for him to guard the border, so he would not go to the border again this time when he came back, and he should stay at home for the elderly.
"This... I just came back, and I don't know who has a good man!" Zhu Yong said very humorously: "I am waiting to pick a son-in-law, and when I am chosen, I will come to the emperor to ask you for an imperial edict, okay? ?”
"I can't be the master of this. Your daughter heard that the Empress Dowager loves it very much. If you want an imperial decree to bestow marriage, why not ask for an imperial edict to bestow marriage?" Emperor Xianzong smiled and said, "She is definitely willing."
"If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, then I will go to see the Queen Mother and her old man. When the minister is about to come back, the minister's wife sent a letter to the minister, asking the minister to give the queen mother two ink foxes so that she can make an ink fox cloak." Give it to the queen mother, I heard that it has been finished, and tomorrow the minister and his wife will go to see the queen mother." Zhu Yong was also happy when he heard it.
In this kind of daughter's family matter, the queen mother's imperial edict is naturally better than the emperor's imperial edict.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accompanied, and Wu Youwei also followed. We chatted about family affairs, most of which were about children's family affairs, and Wu Youwei was even more cautious, because his son was already a juren, and he was about to pass the exam next year.
Everyone knows that he has a son, and some don't know much about him. They only know that the Wu family is low-key, and they have never been high-profile when they became a Zuo Chunfang University scholar.
Still wondering, he has a son, who is his wife?It seems that I have never heard my wife mention it....
"Scholar Wu is really good at raising children. I am a Tanhua, so I think my son is no different." Xie Qian has no friendship with Wu Youwei, but he is the left concubine of the Eastern Palace Prince, and Wu Youwei can be regarded as a colleague.
The prince Zuo Shuzi is a subordinate official of the East Palace.The function is to be in charge of attendants and appraisers, to refute the righteousness, to follow the prince, to assist the prince, to reject and correct any inaccuracies, and to report to the emperor whether the prince's words and deeds are good or bad.
It's a bit of a small report.
However, Xie Qian did a good job. He has always worked fairly and justly. He never said bad things about the prince, and he just didn't have bad things to say to him.
However, there are many princes in the palace who have grown up, and those whose parents have grown up, and some people have begun to covet the position of prince.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position is stable, and the Wan family is not a vegetarian, they can only compete with each other with grace.
Concubine Wanhuang is over half a hundred years old, and she is old. No matter how good the relationship between the emperor and her is, he will not be interested in an old woman, right?
Besides, when the prince grows up, the emperor will grow old.
Since ancient times, the imperial power has no family affection.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent his whole life wise and powerful, but in the end he was not deceived by Mrs. Gouyi and abandoned his beloved Empress Wei Zifu. Even the crown prince was implicated and became an unjust case through the ages. Prince Li of Emperor Wu.
It is said that Qin Huang and Han Wu, but the princes of the two emperors, Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu, were particularly unlucky.
Someone came to Xie Qian, wanting him to be a hindrance, to drive a wedge between the emperor and the prince's father-son relationship, but Xie Qian simply reported it!
Although Wantong only caught a small tail, he also knew that as the prince's position became more and more stable, some people could not sit still.
However, Xie Qian knew that Wu Youwei had succeeded in educating the prince, and his son must be no worse.
That's why I say that.
"He just needs to do well in the exam." Wu Youwei said with a smile: "If I can become the number one scholar like Mr. Xie, then I will wake up laughing from my dreams!"
Looking at the immature Xie Qian in front of him, Wu Youwei was filled with emotion. Xie Qian is also a celebrity, one of the famous "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" and a capable minister of ZTE.
Now he is just a left concubine of the Eastern Palace, but he has done a good job in this job. Wantong said that it would be much more convenient to have such a Zuo concubine.
"Hehe, you praised me!" Xie Qian was also happy.
After eating, they left. Emperor Xianzong still had to be busy with the memorial, and Zhu Yong also wanted to go home quickly for reunion.
When Wu Youwei returned home, he found the way Wantong looked at him...it was very strange!
"What's wrong?" Wu Youwei came back quite full.
Wantong gave him a post-it note: "Look for yourself."
Wu Youwei took it, this is... this is the Buddhist paper.
Because the above is the special paper of Fahai Temple, with the dark pattern of lotus, and the Bodhi fruit is the seal of Fahai Temple in the lower right corner.
"Master Jikong is out?" Wu Youwei was overjoyed.
After he left Beijing, he still had letters in the early years. Later, Master Ji Kong wrote to say that he was going to retreat, but Wu Youwei still sent people gifts.
In the end, he came back, and the old monk hadn't left the customs yet.
If it weren't for the fact that he was healthy and healthy, eating and drinking in the customs would not delay at all, he would have thought the old man had passed away.
"Yeah, I'm out of customs." Wantong said dumbfounded: "I tell you to go see him tomorrow." Wu Youwei was taken aback: "Oh, I'll finish the novel I prepared quickly, he will read it soon Bar? "
A few years ago, the Jin Dashen series had been given out, because the old monk was in retreat, so he was not in a hurry to write novels, but a few years later, the old monk ended his retreat, came out, and immediately came to him... Want a novel?
What an addiction!
Wu Youwei worked for half the night, and finally came up with Huang Dashen's classic novel "The Legend of Double Dragons in the Tang Dynasty". Well, this is a novel with a historical background in the early Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is stress-free to write!
In fact, he prefers "Little Li Feidao" because it is more classic, but the background of "Little Li Feidao"...is not easy to deal with, and has to be changed now.
The next day, Wu Youwei brought not only novels, but also a lot of gifts to Fahai Temple.
He was already an acquaintance, and the monks didn't need them, so he took his own things and went to Master Ji Kong's courtyard by himself.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old monk standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
Master Ji Kong is already a hundred years old, and his beard has turned white, but the old man still looks so rosy.
"Oh!" Wu Youwei trotted up quickly: "Master, how have you always been?"
"Where's the script?" As a result, the old monk reached out to him for the script as soon as he spoke.
"This, this!" Wu Youwei hurriedly offered, "Are you out of customs?"
"Hmph!" The old monk took the script and glanced at him: "Come in!"
Wu Youwei happily followed in, but was stunned when he entered, because Zen Master Fahai, the abbot of Fahai Temple, was also here.
In addition, there are a few... old monks who are old and look like abbots or elders of a temple.
"This is the abbot of Bailong Temple; this is..." Zen Master Fahai introduced each of them embarrassingly, and then looked at Master Ji Kong.
"You did a good job!" Master Jikong turned his head and spit at Wu Youwei: "As soon as I came out of the retreat, I heard them say that the Taoist school pays taxes, but the Buddhist school is silent. The believers feel that the Buddhist school is too selfish, but the Taoist school is not. For the sake of the country and the people, the imperial court also allows the Taoist sect to preach abroad, and the Buddhist sect is being ... squeezed, what's going on? Tell me about it."
"I didn't actually bring this up, did I?" Wu Youwei still complained, "When something happened to the Taoist sect, why didn't you say it because of me?"
"Huh?" Master Kong had just left the customs, and he didn't know what happened in the past few years, and he didn't even know that because of Zhongyouzi, the Taoist school was also blatantly suppressed by the court.
Wu Youwei just talked about the past few years. Religion has always been the target of Daming's secret suppression. If there is a little mistake, the court will blatantly suppress it.
When the Dao Sect was lost, didn't the Buddhist Sect make a sound?
Now Buddhism is despised, and Taoism is the same, and it has nothing to do with oneself.
As a result, there is no way for Buddhism. It can be done in one or two years, but what about in the future?If a religion is clearly suppressed by the court, what development is there?
Although Buddhism pays attention to "all four things are empty", basic missionary work is also necessary. In the past, they relied on the alms of rich and noble families to make a living, and some Buddhist schools also have some land and so on.
But now the Taoist sect that rich people go to, and the Taoist sect emphasizes "quietness and inaction", so now they can't even find anyone who takes care of this matter.
Fortunately, at this time, when they heard that Master Ji Kong had left the customs, they all came.
Master Kong has a special relationship with the imperial court, and he has a long-term friendship with Wu Youwei. Speaking of which, he is also an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, so he can only come to see his old man.
"Since the Taoist sect has paid the tax, shouldn't the Buddhist sect also pay the tax?" After listening to Master Kong, Master Kong expressed his thoughts very casually: "As for the need to wait for the old monk to leave the customs?"
Several people... all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Bailong Zen Master Qi Ai of Bailong Temple said: "Pay taxes... It's not impossible, big temples are fine, but what about small temples? And not all of them can pay taxes... .”
If you don’t pay taxes, and you’re afraid that the imperial court will forcefully collect them, it’s very inconvenient for both Buddhist and Taoist sects to be outsiders, and it’s not good for the imperial court’s reputation to arrest your family members.
"How about this, you guys go back first, I will discuss it with my little friend Wu." Master Ji Kong actually wanted to read novels, but these people are like brown sugar, aren't they just paying a tax?As for what?Besides, the court tax is not much.
Several old monks had no choice but to leave.
After they left, Wu Youwei spread out on the warm chair: "Master, what can I do about this kind of thing?"
"I don't care about it, you caused the matter, you settle it." The old monk didn't mean to discuss it at all, and read the new novel seriously.
Wu Youwei is depressed about this!
What do you mean by "something he did"?
He didn't do anything, so why should he be held responsible?
But the old monk is unreasonable here, okay?
Wu Youwei stayed here for half a day, and after eating a vegetarian meal, Master Jikong drove him away. Before leaving, he threatened him: "If you don't think of a good way, don't come to eat Luohanzhai!"
Wu Youwei: "...!!!"
"Hmph!" Wu Youwei was furious: "Just think about it, who is afraid of whom?"
