Chapter 194 Liao envoy: Let me try the fineness of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty

In June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Yimao (seventeenth).

In the Jiying Hall, the candlelight flickered.

Today is the first sutra feast.

The lecture was written by Lu Gong himself, with Fan Chunren and Lu Xizhe as assistants.

Lu Dian and Cai Bian stood by, holding a pen and paper to record.

Dutang Zaizhi sat respectfully on both sides of the Jiying Hall.

The grand master and Pingzhang's important military officer, Wen Yanbo, were sitting on chairs on one side of the hall with a smile on their faces.

Another veteran in Beijing, Zhang Fangping, the Jiedu envoy of Zhangde Army, sat opposite Wen Yanbo.

Even Sun Gu, a scholar of Guanwendian who was recuperating in Beijing, came to Jiyingdian.

Lu Gong wrote and lectured in cadence.

But he didn't directly talk about "Shangshu", but introduced the deeds of the ancient kings in "Shangshu" with Zhao Xu.

As for Zhao Xu, he just sat in his seat and listened carefully.

After Lu Gong finished speaking, Fan Chunren and Lu Xizhe introduced to Zhao Xu how simple the folk customs were in ancient times, and how lenient the laws were at that time.

In short, everyone in the world is happy.

Zhao Xu listened and kept smiling.

Until they finished speaking, Zhao Xu sighed politely: "The kings of the past have made great achievements all over the world, and I should follow them in Deze Mountains and Rivers!"

Several Jingyan officials held fluoren to congratulate: "The officials are sages, and the ministers should do their best to assist the officials!"

This first sutra feast is over here.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang, who had been sitting in the curtain behind the Jiying Hall, issued a decree from the curtain at this time to give tea soup to the banquet officials, ministers, and elders.

Today is the first day of sutra feast.

Naturally, etiquette is higher than practicality.

Therefore, Lu Gong's works will be the keynote speaker.

That's why all the chief ministers came together, and Wen Yanbo came to the hall in person.

From now on, except for the first day of each month, these important officials will not come to the Jingyan.

Every five days at most, send a governor to the Jiying Hall for a cutscene, to show that the governors attach great importance to Jingyan.

Of course, if Zhao Xu had the will to pass Zai Zhi into the palace, it would be a different matter.

The Zaizhi, the elders, and the banquet officials took a symbolic sip of the tea soup given by the two palaces, and they all got up to thank them again.

At this time, the empress dowager in the curtain said: "The old man and the empress dowager have already hosted a banquet in the Shengping building, and please move to the Shengping building!"

The officials worshiped the leader's decree again.

After the palace banquet, the two palaces brought Zhao Xu back to Da Nei.

The next day, June Gengchen ([-]th).

Zhao Xu had just woken up, the general had washed up, and the Queen Mother came to Funing Hall.

She looked at Zhao Xu, sighed, handed a memorial to Zhao Xu, and said, "Sixth brother, Chengyi Lang Chenghao unfortunately died of illness at home the day before yesterday..."

"This is Cheng Hao's legacy..."

Zhao Xu took it over with a heavy expression, read it once, and then sighed: "The country has lost a great Confucianism!"

He looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I want to express my condolences to Cheng Hao..."

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow, after the banquet, how about stopping the speech to express your condolences?"

Listening to the Queen Mother, she nodded.

When the elders and ministers of the country die, the emperor will stop court to express his condolences.

What about the national Confucianism?
It is indeed good to quit the sutra feast to express our condolences!
Therefore, the two palaces issued an edict in the name of Zhao Xu: Therefore, Cheng Yilang, Zongzheng Siqing and attendant Cheng Hao, a great Confucian in the country, I admire!Unfortunately, Cheng Hao died of illness. I am very sad, and he will have a sutra feast for one day!
The ruling and opposition parties suddenly boiled.

Especially the professors and doctors in Taixue were all excited.

Cheng Hao's official position is not high, but from the seventh rank, most of the professors and doctors of Taixue are at this level.

Today, Cheng Hao passed away, but the emperor solemnly held a sutra feast for one day to express his condolences.

In other words, will they also have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of super-standard treatment in the future?
As a result, the enthusiasm for teaching in Taixue and Guozijian surged!

When the edict of the two palaces was issued, Wen Yanbo also received a mourner from Luoyang.

"Bo Chun..." He sighed, "What a pity!"

Cheng Hao is only 54 years old!

As a scholar, it is the golden time.

What a premature death!
Then, Wen Yanbo knew the content of the edict issued by the two palaces in the name of the emperor.

I also know that the sutra feast was proposed by the young master.

Wen Yanbo's expression suddenly became wonderful!
After a long time, he sighed and said: "The holy lord is coming, and the great order of the world can be expected!"

Put a sutra banquet to show mourning for Cheng Hao.

This will not only make Cheng Hao's family and students feel grateful.

Academies all over the world will only praise the young master!

Not to mention Guozijian and Taixue.

And what did the young master pay?Nothing at all!

Combining the various deeds of the young lord since he came to the throne, Wen Yanbo knows that the young lord has nothing but praise from the people to the government.

His reputation will spread everywhere.

In this way, people's hearts will naturally come to him, and I'm afraid there is no need to wait for a big marriage, as long as he reaches his age.

Inside and outside the government and the public, he will naturally be invited to take charge of the government.

and so……

"What a holy master!" Wen Yanbo thought.

The deeds of Mingjun recorded in history ran in Wen Yanbo's mind.

What Wen Yanbo knew, at least, judging from the current situation, that young master is fully qualified in controlling people's hearts.

In terms of government affairs, it seems that they have also shown considerable sensitivity.

Only military and financial, he has not yet revealed the means.

Lu Huiqing's side doesn't count!
That was just a mistake!

……

Beijing, Daming Prefecture.

Liao envoy Yeluju put down the thick pile of documents in his hand.

"Nanchao people always like to play tricks!" He looked at Wang Shiru who was sitting in front of him and said.

The system of the Liao Kingdom has basically stabilized now.

There are no major conflicts that are difficult to reconcile between the officials from the south and the officials from the north.

Although one is Khitan and the other is Han.

But it didn't affect it at all, the Han people hunted, and the Khitan people read the books of Confucius and Mencius.

Wang Shiru smiled and replied: "The Bian thief has always been like this, he likes to exaggerate, and he also likes to brag!"

"Jedu doesn't need to waste his mind and think too much!"

"When I arrived in Bianjing, I met the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and Jiedu tried it out in the palace..." Wang Shiru laughed: "I'm afraid he will reveal his true colors!"

The gentry of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun may still have people in the Central Plains in the early Song Dynasty.

But after Yongxi's Northern Expedition, this kind of people almost died out!
Today, the scholar-officials in the Sixteen States of Youyun have established a close community of interests with the Khitan upper class.

Especially Han Derang, king of Jin, was the highest minister in the Liao Kingdom even though he was a Han.

You can even live in the same tent and ride in the same car with the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and even let her build the Hanrudo that only the emperor and the empress dowager can build.

Emperor Shengzong didn't care about all of these things, he treated them like his father and brother, even if the Empress Dowager Chengtian passed away, he would still trust and love her, and even gave her the country's surname, calling her the emperor's brother.

This greatly inspired the Han scholars and bureaucrat families in the entire Youyun area.

Since then, although there has never been a Jin Wang.

However, the emperors of Daliao in the past dynasties respected the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers in the south more and more.

Moreover, the current system, grammar, and laws of the Liao Kingdom are almost exactly the same as those in the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty (for the powerful scholar-official officials).

That being the case, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Youyun area naturally regarded the Daliao Emperor as orthodox.

Coincidentally, the emperor of Daliao also felt that he was the orthodox emperor.

The two sides hit it off!
Yeluju also laughed out loud after hearing Wang Shiru's words.

Then he sighed: "It is the Lord's will that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty has a new funeral, so we must not be rude!"

"In case Chinese and foreign people think that I, Daliao, are disrespectful!"

Wang Shiru laughed, and said: "What's so difficult about it? Jiedu only needs to follow the etiquette, and don't teach Nan Chao to make mistakes!"

"As for the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he is timid, so what does that have to do with Jiedu?"

Yeluju nodded slightly, but still had scruples.

After all, Song and Liao have been in an alliance for a hundred years.

The two sides exchange envoys every year to congratulate each other's monarchs, empress dowagers and empresses on Holy Days and Spring Festival.

Today's emperor of Daliao is also very concerned about maintaining the relationship between Song and Liao.

If he caused trouble in the Southern Dynasty, he would be reported to the imperial court by the Southern Dynasty.

He couldn't eat and walked around.

Therefore, Yeluju said: "But I still need a reason..."

Wang Shiru suddenly laughed: "What's so difficult?"

"During the Southern Dynasty, his copper coins were forbidden to leave the customs! Jiedu questioned him like this, and the people of the Southern Dynasty would have nothing to say!"

After hearing this, Yeluju immediately showed a happy smile.

"Tong Fu is a real counselor!"

People in the Southern Dynasties boasted about their little emperor, who was smart, handsome and benevolent, young but mature, and some people even called him "Sage King".

Don't be ashamed!

For Yeluju, the title of the Holy King made him especially unhappy!

Because the Daliao Tianzi temple name he most admired is Shengzong!
　Note: After the Liao Kingdom came from Shengzong, the throne was fixedly inherited in the Shengzong line, and the other two branches had no possibility of seizing power.

　　Empress Dowager Chengtian, Han Derang and others presided over the centralization reform of the Liao Kingdom.

　　Since then, the northern Han scholars and bureaucrats have basically returned to their hearts.

　　The Liao people have also been holding imperial examinations to select scholars, and have been carrying out the same reform measures as the Central Plains in the Han area in accordance with the requirements of the scholar-bureaucrats.

　　Basically, the current Han scholars and bureaucrats in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures probably have no heart for the Song Dynasty.

　　He was born under the rule of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and what he ate was the salary of the Liao Kingdom.

　　According to the moral code of scholar-bureaucrats, they are the courtiers of the Liao Kingdom.
