Queen Zhang was overjoyed.

The requirements for male men in this era are based on the standard of inheritance.

You can be a scumbag, you can be ignorant, but you need to be able to pass on your family line in order to succeed you.

The nanny was obviously the person who trusted Empress Zhang the most. With her words, Empress Zhang felt as if she had a reassurance.

"Okay, according to the original schedule, we will marry you." Queen Zhang made the final decision.

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

"I..." Xiao Jing wanted to explain, it was obvious that the Empress was hesitant more than herself. Is this strange?

But when facing Empress Zhang, there is no reason to say. Xiao Jing said nothing and bowed: "I will die."

"Remember this teaching, don't think about your affairs. I don't know that everyone calls you the ancestor in the palace. Your Majesty relies on you. You should be more careful in your duty. Don't think that if you gain the trust of Your Majesty, you can be self-righteous. Jifan is young, honest, and has old diseases. If you have any bad intentions or say something bad about him behind your back, Fang Jifan is honest and doesn't care about you, I will cut you off."

Xiao Jing shivered, feeling extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say that, just kowtowed like pounding garlic: "I've died!"

……………………

The wedding is coming soon.

Now, everything is ready, and only the east wind is missing.

The wedding ceremony is ready, it depends on how much dowry the emperor gives.

But at this moment, an imperial edict was issued to bring Fang Jifan into the palace.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was wearing plain clothes and chatted and laughed with Liu Jian and others.

My daughter is going to get married, and as a father, I can't bear to be honest.

The water does not flow to the outsiders' fields, but when you think about it carefully, Fang Jifan is not an outsider. He is a grown-up person. He is better than just a prince consort.

A girl cannot help her mother, and this is also a way to do so.

But at present, the Ming Dynasty took Annan easily, and the government and the country were celebrating.

What Emperor Wen did only hard, but now it was easy to do. The wish that Emperor Wen could not fulfill, but now, the Ming Dynasty will try to rule the former land of Jiaozhi again.

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

It is believed that the ancients were always afraid of war and were unwilling to conquer foreign countries and expand their territory.

But in fact, although the Battle of Annan was a sensation at first and countless people criticized it, once the triumphant victory was won, everyone would immediately celebrate together.

Today's Confucianism emphasizes conquering people with virtue. It is not that the ancestors have completely lost their blood, but that the cost of war in farming society is higher. If you let people farm, you can get enough profits. Why do you still have to conquer hundreds of thousands of people in order to conquer a territory that is not related to yourself, spend years on the efforts to exhaust the national treasury and let countless people die on the journey?

The Han people have occupied the most fertile land they know. To the north is the desert, to the east, that is, the vast ocean, to the south, the mountains and ridges covered with miasma, and to the west, to the plateaus that are difficult to breathe. These places, in this era, were almost worthless land, equivalent to later generations. They obviously had large flats and large villas in the city, but they had to spend huge amounts of money to buy the city, inside and outside, and there were nuclear power plants and waste incineration plants. The roads were blocked, but there were still weeds.

The essence of the formation of the idea of ​​tribute and the idea of ​​kindness to the four parties is that the ancients were actually more realistic than later generations. They knew very well that the benefits and costs of paying were not proportional, but the ancients also had the need to show off. I beat you, it was not worth it. You didn’t even have the value of being robbed by me. I didn’t rob you, and then, on this reality, put a moral mark on it. As a result, what is covered in the real interests of careful calculations became the outer cloak of a moral system.

Why don’t you beat you? Because I am educated, because I am a person, because I am moral.

However, the benefits of this expedition to Annan were far beyond everyone's expectations. It took almost no cost to completely capture Annan in January, and all prefectures and counties in Annan were reduced. Although it is said that there are still people who are dissatisfied, the Ming army has arrived and there is no natural barrier of the northern mountains and ridges. Some thieves who refuse to surrender have advanced and destroyed.

Annan is a strange creature among the steep mountains in the south, because the current Annan is different from Annan during the reign of Emperor Wen.

At that time, the so-called Annan was just the northern part of Vietnam in later generations. The Ming Dynasty conquered Annan and seized it. This area was mountainous. After the Ming army captured it, it was unable to support itself and needed a steady stream of food to be imported into Annan. When Annan resisted, the Ming army had to continue to lose blood.

After that, after the Ming army withdrew from Annan, Annan Kingdom destroyed Chameng.

Now, Chameng, which is the central and southern part of Vietnam in later generations, has now completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jifan arrived at the Warm Pavilion and saw that Emperor Hongzhi and others were there. Fang Jifan saluted, and Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "My Qilin is here."

Liu Jian and others smiled and looked at Fang Jifan, and were very happy.

Fang Jifan was confused. Why was it a Qilin? Qilin looked so ugly and was too evil-proof.

Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back and said in the warm pavilion: "Now Jiaozhi Dushi has been established. In military affairs, I rely on your father. With your father and wife Liu, I can rest assured. I also plan to move 80,000 military households, bring my family to Annan, occupy important towns in Annan, and defend the farmlands. The prisoners who traveled back then also sent Jiaozhi garrisons. I heard that in the former Jiaozhi land, there were a large number of Han immigrants. They moved there to avoid the war, right? I have issued an order to order people to make yellow books in Jiaozhi to calculate the specific number."

"I am very relieved about Ma Zheng's affairs, but there is only one thing. I am still worried about it. Military occupation is of great importance, but education cannot be neglected. Annan is known as a small China. They learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese and learn Chinese. However, to win over the hearts of the Jiaozhi people, these are not enough, but there are great scholars who go to Annan to teach the people, and cultivate scholars who can be used by me, so that Jiaozhi scholars can be convinced by the Ming Dynasty. This is the way for a long time."

He paused: "So, I am very concerned about the candidates for Annan's academic studies. Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, recommended Chen Wangzu. You have heard of this person, how about it?"

It turned out that His Majesty was just asking for his own opinions.

After all, Annan was conquered by himself and the prince. The wise rulers and ministers actually didn’t know much about Jiaozhi. After all, the Celestial Kingdom was too focused on the country and were too lazy to understand you poor neighbors. Come and pay tribute obediently and don’t cause trouble. Just do it.

In order to win Jiaozhi, Fang Jifan and the prince must have been paying more attention to Jiaozhi and knew more about their situation.

Fang Jifan heard of Chen Wangzu, a man from the age of time, was a famous scholar. He had served as an official in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. Later, due to the Chenghua period, he impeached Liu Ji and others and finally dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. He taught in the hometown, which had a great influence. Because of his integrity and talent, many people flocked to him.

This time, after receiving the recommendation of Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, Emperor Hongzhi hoped to recruit this famous scholar and go to Jiaozhi.

Fang Jifan thought for a while and shook his head: "I think it's not possible."

Zhang Sheng's face trembled, and he was very disrespectful. After all, he was the Minister of Rites. This education was his own responsibility. As a result, Fang Jifan directly refuted and did not give him any face.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Fang Jifan said: "Mr. Chen, I have heard of him. The situation in Jiaozhi is different from the situation in the mainland. To educate Jiaozhi scholars, one must be a wise and brave man."

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Master, do you think that Mr. Chen is not a wise and brave man?"

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

“…”

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say, "You don't know why you object."

"Just guess."

“…”

Fang Jifan said again: "Your Majesty is right. Military occupation is not a long-term way, and education is the top priority. Therefore, this person must be 100% sure. If the entrusted person is not a human, the Jiaozhi exchanged by countless soldiers may be completely disinterested. Therefore, I dare not easily think that Mr. Chen is suitable for the position of academics."

After pausing, 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 me is at least outstanding among my disciples. He has already achieved success in teaching at Xishan Academy. If he is asked to go to Jiaozhi, I think he can rest assured."

As soon as this statement comes out.

Many people were confused.

Wang Shouren...

That Hanlin editor.

This is just a seventh-rank official. He has just entered the official career. Of course, everyone knows that Fang Jifan's disciples are very outstanding, but... they are young and have entrusted 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 have to let the whole Jiaozhi instill all the new learning?

I am the Minister of Rites, how can I be so willing? Neo-Confucianism is the right way, not because I can't learn it well, but...

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

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's better to be young. Jiaozhi is thousands of miles away. If he is not young, would he let the old scholar who can't walk go?"

There is a reason why Fang Jifan recommended Wang Shouren.

To be honest, my disciple, although his temperament is strange, when it comes to knowledge, Fang Jifan is not bragging. Everyone here... Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others carefully, as if he was a little afraid that someone would see through his thoughts.

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.
