Empress Zhang was overjoyed.

The requirements for males in this era are based on the succession of the family line.

You can be a scumbag, you can be ignorant, but you need to be able to pass on the family line so that you can have successors.

That nanny is obviously the person Empress Zhang trusts the most. With her words, Empress Zhang seems to be reassured.

"Okay, let's get married according to the original wedding date." Empress Zhang made the final decision.

She couldn't help but look at Xiao Jing sideways, and said angrily: "You are an eunuch, who dares to slander my son-in-law?"

"Slave..." Xiao Jing wanted to explain, it was clear just now that the empress was more hesitant than himself, is it our fault?

But facing Empress Zhang, there is no reason to speak, Xiao Jing said without saying a word, bowed down: "Your slave will die."

"Keep in mind this lesson, don't think that this palace doesn't know about you, you are in the palace, everyone calls you the ancestor, your majesty relies on you, you should stick to your duty, don't think that you have won your majesty's trust You can be self-righteous, Jifan is young, honest, and has old illnesses, an honest boy like him, if you have any bad intentions or speak ill of him behind his back, Fang Jifan has a good heart and doesn't care about you, This palace cut you."

Xiao Jing shuddered, feeling extremely wronged in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he just kowtowed like garlic: "Will die!"

………………

The wedding is imminent.

Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

All the preparations have been made to welcome the bride, and it depends on how much dowry the emperor will give.

But at this time, Fang Jifan was ordered to enter the palace with an edict.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was dressed in plain clothes, talking and laughing happily with Liu Jian and others.

My daughter is getting married. As a father, to be honest, I am a little bit reluctant.

The fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, but when you think about it carefully, Fang Jifan is not an outsider, he grew up watching him, and it's better than just pulling a son-in-law.

Girls can't help themselves, there is no other way.

But right now, Ming took down Annan with ease, the government and the public shook, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

What Emperor Wen did with difficulty, now, he did it with ease. The wish that Emperor Wen couldn't fulfill at the beginning, now, Daming will try again to rule the old land of Jiaozhi.

In fact, people of later generations always look at the ancients from the perspective of later generations.

Think why the ancients were always afraid of war, unwilling to conquer foreign countries, and expand their territories.

But in fact, this Annan battle, although it was a big hit at the beginning, and countless people criticized it, but once the triumphant victory was won, the whole world immediately celebrated.

Today's Confucianism emphasizes convincing people with virtue, not because the ancestors have completely lost their blood, but because, in the farming society, the cost of war is higher. If you let people farm, you can get enough income. Why do you want to conquer hundreds of thousands of people in order to conquer a piece of territory that has nothing to do with you?

The Han people have already occupied the most fertile land they know. To the north is the desert, to the east is the vast ocean, to the south is the high mountains covered with miasma, and to the west is the plateau where it is difficult to breathe. , these places, in this era, are almost worthless land, which is equivalent to the people of later generations who obviously have large flats and large villas in the city, but they have to spend huge sums of money to buy land 30 miles away from the city. Above are nuclear power plants, garbage incineration plants, and places where the roads are impassable, but weeds are still overgrown.

The essence of the formation of the tribute thought and the idea of ​​Enze Sifang lies in this. The ancients are actually more realistic than the later generations. They are very clear that the benefits are not directly proportional to the cost, but the ancients also have the need to pretend. You are worthless, you are not even worth being robbed by me, I will not rob you, and then, on the basis of this reality, put a moral imprint on it. A cloak of a moral system.

Why don't you hit you, because I am educated, because I am a fastidious person, because I am moral.

However, the benefits of this conquest of Annan far exceeded everyone's expectations. It cost almost no cost. Annan was completely captured in January, and all the prefectures and counties in Annan fell in hope. Finally, without the natural barrier of the high mountains in the north, some thieves who refused to submit, marched in mightily, and were wiped out in ashes.

Annan is a wonderful flower among the mountains and mountains in the south, because the current Annan is different from the Annan in Emperor Wen's time.

At that time, the so-called Annan was only the northern part of the later generations of Vietnam. The Ming conquered Annan and captured it. Resisting, the Ming army had to continue to lose blood.

Afterwards, after the Ming army withdrew from Annan, the Annan Kingdom fell to Champa.

Now, this Champa, that is, the south-central part of Vietnam in later generations, has completely fallen into the hands of Ming Dynasty.

When Fang Jifan went to Nuan Pavilion, he saw that Emperor Hongzhi and others were there, Fang Jifan saluted, and Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "My unicorn is here."

Liu Jian and others smiled and looked at Fang Jifan, amused.

Fang Jifan was confused, why is it a unicorn? Qilin looks so ugly, it's too evil.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and said in the warm pavilion: "Now the Jiaozhi capital has been established. In terms of military affairs, I rely heavily on your father. With your father and his wife Liu, I can feel at ease. I also plan to move 80,000 military households. , brought his family into Annan and occupied the important towns in Annan

, Garrison for self-defense. In the future, the prisoners who were exiled will also be sent to Jiaozhi for garrison. I heard that in the old place of Jiaozhi, there have been a large number of Han immigrants. They moved there to escape the war, right? I have issued a decree to order people to make a yellow book in Jiaozhidusi and calculate the specific number. "

"I am very relieved about the matter of Ma Zheng. There is only one thing that I am still worried about. The military occupation is of course important, but it can be educated but not neglected. Annan is known as a small China. They learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese. Of course, what I study is also Sinology; but to win the hearts of the people of Jiaozhi, these are not enough, but I need to have high-ranking scholars, go to Annan, teach the people, and cultivate scholars who can be used by me, so that the scholars of Jiaozhi can be convinced of Daming, so... That’s the long way to go.”

He paused: "Therefore, I am very concerned about the candidate for Annan's study. Zhang Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, recommended Chen Wangzu. You have heard of this person, how is it?"

It turned out that His Majesty just came to ask for his own opinion.

After all, Annan was brought down under the plan of himself and the prince. The emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty don’t know much about Jiaozhi. After all, the heavens are too concerned about the kingdom, and they don’t bother to understand you poor neighbors. Come and pay tribute obediently. , don't make trouble, it will be done.

But Fang Jifan and the prince, in order to win Jiaozhi, must have been paying more attention to Jiaozhi, and they have a better understanding of their situation.

Fang Jifan had heard of Chen Wangzu a little bit. He was a famous Confucianist in the world. He used to be an official in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy. Later, because of the impeachment of Liu Ji and others during the Chenghua period, he was finally dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. He gave lectures in the village and had a great influence. Da, because of his uprightness and talent, many people flock to him.

This time, with the recommendation of Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, Emperor Hongzhi hoped to conscript this famous Confucian and went to Jiaozhi.

Fang Jifan thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't think so."

Zhang Sheng's face trembled, he was very disrespectful, anyway, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and this matter of enlightenment is his duty, but Fang Jifan directly refuted it without giving any face.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly: "Why not?"

Fang Jifan said: "Mr. Chen, I have heard about him, but the situation of Jiaozhi is different from the situation in the mainland. To educate the students of Jiaozhi, you must be a man of great wisdom and courage."

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but said: "Captain, do you think that Mr. Chen is not a man of great wisdom and courage?"

Fang Jifan said: "I don't know."

"..."

Zhang Sheng couldn't help saying: "You don't know, why are you against it?"

"It's just a guess."

"..."

Fang Jifan said again: "Your Majesty is right. Military occupation is not a long-term solution. Enlightenment is the most important thing. Therefore, this person must be 100% sure. In exchange for cochin, it may be completely alienated. Therefore, I dare not easily think that Mr. Chen is suitable for the post of education."

After a pause, Fang Jifan said loudly: "I have a student named Wang Shouren. I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of it? I think that this student of the minister is the most outstanding among all the students of the minister. He is in Xishan Academy. Lectures have already achieved results, and if he is allowed to go to intercourse, I think that he can sit back and relax."

As soon as this statement came out.

Many people are dumbfounded.

Wang Shouren...

That Hanlin editor.

This is just a junior official of the seventh rank. He has just entered the official career. Of course, everyone knows that Fang Jifan's students are very good, but... at a young age, he is entrusted with important tasks...

What's more...

Zhang Sheng's face changed, and Wang Shouren taught new learning everywhere. If this person went to Jiaozhi, wouldn't he want the whole Jiaozhi to be instilled with new learning?

I am the Minister of Rites, how can I be so laissez-faire, Neo Confucianism is the right way, it's not that new learning is bad, but...

Zhang Sheng said: "Wang Shouren is too young."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's better if you're young. Cochin is thousands of miles away. If you're not young, why don't you let old scholars who can't walk go?"

Fang Jifan recommended Wang Shouren for a reason.

To be honest, my disciple, although his temperament is weird, but when it comes to learning, Fang Jifan is not bragging, everyone here... Fang Jifan carefully looked at Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian, as if he was a little afraid of being seen through his mind.

Of course, knowledge is secondary, Wang Shouren is still a very charming person, and the charm of personality is actually the easiest to conquer others.

In this regard, Wang Shouren is very similar to himself, with a convincing aura.
