Chapter 1370 Large and Small Sects
Regardless of whether the emperor said these words casually or sincerely, as an emperor, it is extremely difficult to say these words.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.
There is no big conflict between the monarch and his ministers. From the time Hong De met in the beginning of the sixth year to now, they have been walking side by side for the past twelve years. Moreover, Shen Yi has no motive for rebellion in the first place, and he has no ambition in the second place. Home.
Both of them understand each other, and if nothing unexpected happens, as long as both of them are around, they will be able to maintain mutual trust and continue to move forward together.
But even so, regardless of this generation, as an emperor, you should also consider the next generation. Emperor Hongde's complete belief in Shen Yi touched the heart of Lord Shen.
This is also the brilliance of His Majesty the Emperor.
If he were to be on guard against Shen Yi from now on, it would slowly create a rift between the monarch and his ministers. If he maintained mutual trust in this way, with Shen Yi's character, he would reciprocate the favor.
That night, the emperor's emperor came to Yutai County. The magistrate of Yutai County packed up the best house in the county and invited the emperor to live in it. That night, the emperor took his two sons and the King of Jin. Li Mu, had dinner with Shen Yi and Zhang Jian.
The emperor never sat at the same table with others, so this dinner was also a shared meal. Everyone sat at a table. Shen Yi and Zhang Jian sat on the left and right sides of the emperor. The two princes had to sit one behind and behind the two princes. , is Zhang Jian, the chief envoy of Shandong.
After dinner was almost finished, His Majesty the Emperor stood up, rubbed his shoulders, smiled at everyone and said: "We are all tired after a long day's journey. That's it for today. Let's leave for Qufu tomorrow. "
Everyone stood up, saluted the emperor one after another, and then prepared to stand up and leave, each returning to his or her own residence.
After Shen Yi stood up, he first bowed his hands and saluted, and then when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the emperor as expected. After everyone left, the emperor said to Sun Jin: "Let me bring another table of wine and food. , I drink with Shen Qing."
Sun Jin lowered his head in response. After he left, the emperor looked at his back and said helplessly: "This Sun Jin is very careful in doing things, and he is not confused when things happen, but he is not as satisfying as Gao Ming when he is with him. .”
"If you were smart, I wouldn't even need to speak at this time."
Shen Yi leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "In terms of his ability to observe people's emotions, Eunuch Gao is amazing, but Eunuch Sun is also a smart man. His Majesty may not be able to adapt to it for a while."
The emperor sat down and sighed softly: "There are already smart people everywhere inside and outside the inner court. I know that he has no intention of forming a party, but in his position, he is born to attract bees and butterflies."
"He is not young anymore. If he continues to work in this position, it may be difficult for him to find a good death in the future. Therefore, for the sake of the inner court and for his own sake, I will replace this eunuch of the inner court no matter how reluctant I am."
After saying this, he pressed his hand and motioned Shen Yi to sit down. After Shen Yi sat down, he continued: "The main reason why Shen Qing is staying here today is to discuss matters concerning the Kong family."
Shen Yi thought for a while and asked: "Now that most of the north has been pacified, all the affairs of the Kong family are at the whim of His Majesty. Do they still have any room to jump around?"
"After the Kong family surrendered to Da Chen, I have never officially canonized their family as Yanshenggong, and we have not canonized anyone from the Chongshenghou lineage of Jiankang either."
"I am still undecided on how to decide between the two lines of Chongshenghou and Yanshenggong. According to my opinion, Chongshenghou's branch should join the big sect from a small sect and inherit Yanshenggong's position, but the imperial court The civil servants here may not buy it, and the scholars in the world may not buy it.”
"In addition, I will go to Mount Tai soon to enshrine Zen and rectify the orthodox orthodoxy. At this time, the hearts of the scholars in the world still have to be taken into consideration."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Shen Qing has always been a person with ideas. Just give me an idea."
"If only I could see it."
Mr. Shen said unhurriedly: "The Northern Qi Yan Sheng Gong lineage has served Emperor Hu for decades. Since we want to be orthodox, we cannot allow them to be our Da Chen's Yan Sheng Gong. Otherwise, they would have been embarrassed when they crossed to the south. What is the meaning of more than seventy years of humiliation?”
"Now that His Majesty is in power in China, what happens to the world should be decided by Your Majesty, not by the mouths of those scholars. I think this matter should be done neatly and neatly."
The emperor lowered his head and took a sip of wine and sighed: "I still want to be safe."
Shen Yi smiled: "If Your Majesty is not willing to be such a villain, I can do so. I was the one who took the initiative to confiscate 90% of the Kong family's land. Since I have offended the Kong family once, I am not afraid of offending the Kong family a second time." .”
At this time, the food and wine had been served. The emperor waved to Shen Yi and motioned for Shen Yi to come over and sit at the same table with him. After Shen Yi sat down, His Majesty the Emperor said: "Last time, everyone in Jiankang said you I set fire to the Confucius Temple. It’s hard for you to come forward at this time. I just want a compromise." Shen Yi reached out to pour the wine for the emperor. While pouring the wine, he said with a smile: "The compromise is also simple. Let's find a compromise. The Chongsheng Hou Mansion selects a child of appropriate age and adopts it to Kong Shangzhen, the Duke of Yansheng in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The court then appoints the child as the new Duke of Yansheng. This way, both families have been taken into consideration, and most of the two sects will agree and will not do it again. make trouble."
In this era, children adopted to other families will be regarded as the heirs of other families, which makes sense in legal terms. In this way, Yan Shenggong's lineage has not been shaken, and Yan Shenggong Kong Shangzhen is most likely to accept it.
As for the Chongshenghou Mansion, although they suffered a small loss, the descendants of Yanshenggong for generations to come will actually be descendants of their branch, so they can probably accept it.
Moreover, if you adopt an adult, you can’t say for sure what that adult will do in the future.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea."
He looked at Sun Jin, who was standing not far behind him, and said, "Marquis Chongsheng, who is going to follow me, asked him to come and see me tomorrow."
Sun Jin bowed his head respectfully: "My slave, I obey."
The emperor picked up the filled wine glass, clinked it with Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "It seems that any problem will be solved when Shen Qing comes here."
Mr. Shen still had a respectful look on his face. He let his cup fall half a cup short and replied: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is a divine, civil, holy, and martial artist. You can naturally think of things that I can think of, but Your Majesty didn't say it out loud."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his head and touched his chin, and then spoke seriously.
"Shen Qing's words are somewhat interesting."
…………
It was only a little over two hundred miles from Yutai County to Qufu. Although the emperor's speed was not fast, he still arrived in Qufu three days later. Qufu's county magistrate, officials, as well as the people in the city and the Kong family all left the city early. , kneeling on both sides of the road to welcome the arrival of Emperor Hongde.
Shen Yi, who was accompanying him, was arranged in the carriage behind the emperor's dragon chariot, riding in the same carriage as the two princes.
The eldest son of the emperor, Li Wang, had a reserved personality, which was relatively good. He didn't talk to Shen Yi very much. The third son of the emperor, Li Rong, often pulled Shen Yi's sleeves and asked Shen Yi to tell him stories.
Fortunately, Mr. Shen was very patient and got along well with the two little kids. After a few days, they became obviously more affectionate towards Shen Yi. Even Li Wang would raise his head from time to time, interrupt Shen Yi's story, and ask questions. A question that he didn't quite understand.
When the carriage was approaching Qufu, Mr. Shen held the two little babies in his arms, opened the curtain and looked at the slowly approaching Qufu City.
He looked outside and asked some irrelevant questions.
"I heard that Concubine Hui took her to Dayifang some time ago. What did she do there?"
Li Wang raised his head and looked at Shen Yi, returning honestly.
"I went to meet an old man."
Shen Yi smiled and asked, "What old man?"
The eldest prince thought for a while and replied: "I don't recognize him, but my mother-in-law asked me to call him my great-grandfather."
Lord Shen said "Oh", touched Li Wang's head, and then whispered to himself.
"understood."
