Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

When mentioning this old general, old general Li couldn't help but sighed, said a few words with emotion, and then asked his grandson and daughter-in-law to read a few words for him when they offered incense to the old general.

The day of sweeping the grave of the old general was specially chosen. The people who went there were not only Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan, but also descendants of the royal family. Wang Xiujin wanted to let future generations remember the generals who helped fight the country. People, these generals who fought on the battlefield should let future generations remember that history books are recorded by literati, and they will be more inclined to record how much literati paid. It is the cornerstone of building a dynasty and should not be forgotten.

The emperor pondered for a long time after hearing this. He was not the emperor who founded the country. He didn't know how much it would cost to fight the country. But defending the country is not as easy as imagined. Since he ascended the throne to the present, there have been countless wars and frictions on the border. The literati who quarreled in the court were the warriors who were belittled to nothing by the literati. The emperor agreed to Wang Xiujin's proposal that not only the descendants of the royal family would go, but also people from other schools.

Naturally, it is not possible to offer incense to so many people. Wang Xiujin suggested that it is better to wear small white flowers on the body. After a royal descendant burns incense, others throw the white flowers into the brazier to show their respect.In addition to the General’s Tomb, the Imperial Mausoleum should also choose a day every year, so that literati and students can go to the Imperial Mausoleum to pay their most sincere respect to the founding emperor and the emperor who guarded the country, and listen to people’s stories about how the ancestors conquered the country. How to guard the country can let them live a stable life.

The emperor agreed immediately after listening to it, and felt that Wang Xiujin's proposal was very good, but, "It seems that only students in Beijing can go to listen to Gu."

"I think that monuments can be erected in other cities so that the world can pay homage."

"Okay!" The national treasury is not short of money, and it is not difficult to build a monument in each city. How to say it in ancient times is up to the civil servants to think about it.

After talking about the emperor, there was the matter of the descendants of the royal family sweeping the tomb of the founding general. This incident immediately caused the literati to react. Misconduct should be punished.Of course, there are those who are against, and there are those who are right. The officials who firmly believed that Wang Xiujin would be fine before, stood by Wang Xiujin's side and spat with those jumping officials. The civil servant's face turned black with anger, and he wanted to give it a few hands.

Wang Xiujin was not in the court hall, so he didn't know about the turmoil in the court hall, the emperor thought he was just watching the fun, Mr. Wang looked leisurely on the surface, but in his heart he scolded his son badly, and found trouble for him when he had nothing to do.Listen to what those people are saying, and they are plotting evil, the shit pot is too big!The military generals were even more straightforward, listening to the quarrel, while stealthily kicking those who yelled something wrong, what's wrong with offering incense to the founding general?What's the matter, as long as literati are human beings, they are all stinky shit?

When the civil affairs were over, several veteran generals among the military generals came forward to speak out to the emperor. The real rebellious people were those civil servants who were bloody. They all said that military generals were reckless. It is more useful to bite the bullet. The veterans burst into tears one by one, and the emperor's eyes were red. Compared with the civil servants, the emperor has a deeper affection for the military generals. Many military generals are descendants of the founding emperor. Only a few civil servants follow the former emperor. Most of the younger generations were left by the previous dynasty. It is self-evident who is more important in the hatchback, and the one sitting in the middle is not a generation who emphasizes literature over martial arts. Listening to the words of the general, thinking back As he walked step by step, looking at those civil servants who were jumping, the more he looked at them, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more uncomfortable he felt, he directly asked someone to drag him out with twenty court sticks and beat them hard.

After the old generals came out, these civil servants groaned secretly, regretting that they had brought it up in public like this. When they heard the twenty court sticks, their faces were ashen. The memory of those who were killed before was still fresh. own up.

When the news reached Wang Xiujin's ears, he just shook his head. These people's brains are too rotten. If spanking can enlighten them, it's fine.Fortunately, the civil servants who were beaten did not die, and all of them were recuperating at home. However, they were cut down by the emperor, but saving their lives was more important than anything else.

News of the emperor’s construction of stone monuments in various cities was quickly released. Civil servants wanted to jump out to stop them, but they couldn’t find a reason. They said that the treasury was not rich, and the emperor would immediately have to pay for it. If there was a disaster, the emperor would ask where the food was stored up?Why did you send the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate?One pull is a lot, all of which are capital offenses, what about fighting?The emperor might not be able to find out what happened two days ago and then settle the score. Without any objection, the matter was settled.

How was the stele built?The people in the Ministry of Rituals were a little bit blind, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with them, and they were still waiting to watch the excitement in the Ministry of Accounting. Who would have thought that the emperor would leave this matter to them and ask them to find out the sacrifices? During the worship ceremony, the hearts of officials from all over the Ministry of Rites collapsed.Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites went to Hubu and cried, saying that Shangshu of Hubu was not authentic, how could he cheat him, and it was not their turn to build the stele.Hubu Shangshu said beautiful words sympathetically, while gloating, when he didn’t know how many people were waiting to see him having fun, it’s okay, this matter has nothing to do with him. The procuratorate is watching.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites met a soft stare at the Ministry of Households, and went back to the gate of the Yamen in frustration. After thinking about it, he ran to the fifth prince. The Minister of Rites and the fifth prince had no personal relationship, but his son was working in the playground of the fifth prince. It's okay to get a pointer!His eyes are now completely black, purely blind.

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment after listening to the words of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. How could he know what happened in the court if he didn't go to the court? Influenced by his father and the fourth prince, the prince did not have a high opinion of civil servants, especially when the civil and military sides confronted each other, he must be more inclined to generals.He didn't know about the building of the stele, and the fifth prince couldn't express his opinion, so he went back to the Minister of Rites.After the people left, the fifth prince thought about it and was happy. Wang Xiujin must have thought of this.After closing the activity ground at night, the fifth prince did not go back to the mansion directly, but took a carriage to the general's mansion.

The son of the Minister of Rites is very concerned about his father's affairs. If the matter is settled, his father will definitely win the favor of the emperor, and maybe he can be promoted in rank, so he pays attention to the movements of the fifth prince. Hearing that the fifth prince has gone to the general's mansion, After thinking about it, he suggested to his father after returning home that the emperor has many ideas and is deeply trusted by the emperor, why not ask him.

In the general's mansion, the fifth prince rushed to the door and pleaded guilty to the old general. How could the old general accept the ceremony of the fifth prince, so he quickly stood up and pleaded guilty. I didn't come here to visit him, and if he stayed any longer, he would look uninterested.Wang Xiujin invited the fifth prince to sit in their courtyard, and Li Sushan followed him all the time without saying much.

When they arrived at the small courtyard, the fifth prince became more casual, and asked about the stele directly.Wang Xiujin smiled and said nothing, as he acquiesced in this matter, and explained the unity of thought and national identity in a way that the ancients could understand. The fifth prince immediately understood why the father would agree to spend a lot of money to build useless stone monuments. The purpose is to further consolidate the kingship.

After finding out about the stele, the fifth prince left. He felt that when the fourth brother came out of the palace next time, he wanted to point out the fourth brother, and he must support Wang Xiujin. not rich.

Sending off the fifth prince, Wang Xiujin thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but the next morning, he had just arrived at the grain shop to count the things sent to the disaster area with shopkeeper Wang, when he greeted the Minister of Rites and heard that the shopkeeper of the grain shop Said that the Minister of Rites wanted to see him and ask him for advice.Wang Xiujin was a little dazed, the only few times he got involved with the Ministry of Rites, he could count them with his fingers, Li Su was good at the crown ceremony, his crown ceremony, his big wedding, and then welcoming the army back to the court, there was no intersection other than that, the Minister of Rites looked for What are you going to do?What to ask him for?

Feeling strange but unable to keep people out, Wang Xiujin asked the shopkeeper to invite people in, and the shopkeeper Wang retreated out of the room to avoid it. He was not able to listen to the conversation between the boss and the court officials.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not come here in official uniform, but in casual attire. What he wanted to do was to make friends in a private capacity, although there was no friendship at all.Seeing the attire of the Minister of Rites, Wang Xiujin felt a little hesitant, and welcomed him into the room with a smile, and asked him to bring refreshments, and the two played Tai Chi.At this time, those who stared at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites knew that he was looking for the imperial merchant. The expressions of the other Shangshus were all different. While asking someone to send a letter to the Li family, the Li family's daughter-in-law cannot be bullied.

In the grain shop, Wang Xiujin used a few clichés to explain the intention of the Minister of Rites. Wang Xiujin knew that the Minister of Rites wanted to let him know the purpose of his visit. Ask out of the way.

The emperor handed over the matter of building the stele to the Ministry of Rites?Wang Xiujin was silent for a moment. In fact, this matter is also reasonable. To build a stele, you need to check the information!What kind of scale, what style, the ritual of worship, and even the steps are required, all of which have to be left to the Ministry of Rites.After thinking about this, Wang Xiujin looked at the Minister of Rites. He really came here to find a way?Or is there another meaning?
