Although Nandu knew that His Royal Highness King Qi was returning to Beijing in these two days, there was no specific itinerary of King Qi returning to Beijing from Zhenjiang, so Nandu did not know when King Qi would arrive. Even the core backbone of the Zhou Party, Yuan Kuoyu and Ding Zhixiang, did not know when Zhou Shixiang entered the city.
To be on the safe side, the first assistant, Guo Zhiqi, had people specially guarded at the major city gates. As soon as King Qi arrived in a car, he would report to the cabinet. However, he was still a step behind. When he received the news that Zhou Shixiang was returning to Beijing, Huang Zongxi had already met Zhou Shixiang first.
Guo Zhiqi was a little unhappy. Huang Zongxi, as the general constitution and a great scholar, could not wait to meet Zhou Shixiang, which really damaged the face of the court and his reputation as Huang Zongxi. It should be noted that now, many officials and gentry in Beijing regard Huang Zongxi as another leader after Taifu Qian Qianyi.
Now Huang Zongxi blatantly greets Zhou Shixiang regardless of his identity, doesn't he tell the world that he has completely fallen to Zhou Shixiang, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the gentry officials who are interested in Daming, and also catches Guo Zhiqi a little by surprise. Not long ago, the two were staunch allies.
But he was unhappy and unhappy. After knowing that Zhou Shixiang was riding in a carriage, he just brought his personal guards into the city, and no army followed. Guo Zhiqi finally let go of his hanging heart.
He was very worried that Zhou Shixiang would take the opportunity to restructure by constitutional decree and return to Beijing to get married and act rashly. Now it seems that Zhou Shixiang is really just like what he said in Zhenjiang, this trip back to Beijing is to get married, and then promote the reform of the court, and has no intention of making himself independent.
The university scholar Hong Yuao and the Minister of War Zhang Huangyan were notified. After Zhou Shixiang entered the city, he went directly to the palace of Qi Wang, and later he would enter the palace to see the emperor. The two important ministers invariably thought of entering the palace together, and they were also afraid that Zhou Shixiang would change after entering the palace.
Huang Zongxi and Zhou Shixiang returned to the palace of the King of Qi, but before Zhou Shixiang entered the city, he did not know that Huang Zongxi was waiting for him at the city gate.
Regarding the general constitution, the great scholar in the literary world, Zhou Shixiang's perceptions are neither good nor bad. A few days ago, Huang Zongxi encouraged Shilin and officials to refute Gu Yanwu's public disclosure, which made Zhou Shixiang very dissatisfied, but this was a civil war, Gu Yanwu couldn't hold them down, and he avoided Niushou Mountain outside the city. Let the public reveal it, or directly say that Huang Zongxi and the others are wrong as the king of Qi.
On the basis of his heart, Zhou Shixiang did not want to engage in public disclosure or major debates, because this method is a typical clear stream of thinking, which is a hero in words, but useless in actual facts.
When Gu Yanwu mentioned this, Zhou Shixiang also persuaded him, thinking that the effect was not great. But Gu Yanwu insisted that public disclosure is the best way to uncover the cause of Jiashen's national disaster, and it is also a good way to make the world understand why the country has fallen to this point. Only by letting the gentry officials know where they are wrong can they carry out targeted reforms and eliminate the shortcomings of the court.
In the face of Gu Yanwu's insistence, Zhou Shixiang didn't want to spoil him. He couldn't tell the other party, and wanted the other party to understand his fault and give up the previous privilege of bringing disaster to the country. Only the knife handle is the most practical.
Public opinion is never won by argument, and the same is true of people's hearts. When the opposition can still speak out what they think is a big truth, and when they can confidently use the gentry's privileges to talk about things, it is obvious that they are not comfortable to argue with them.
If the argument cannot be won, and then use the knife to deal with these people, although it is possible to gain public opinion and people's hearts, it is inevitably inferior, which is actually very shameful.
Zhou Shixiang originally wanted to expand the suppression of the rebellion, to completely clear the inherent gentry class, and then he would personally preside over a big discussion about the country's affairs. Don't all those who have been in power throughout the world do this? No official in power would be stupid enough to give his opponent a chance to argue with him in person.
Unfortunately, Gu Yanwu's stay in the capital made Zhou Shixiang's plan impossible to implement. He had no choice but to choose the means he didn't want to do. Since these Da Ming gentry and Confucian disciples are stubborn and stubborn, thinking that the way of the saints is the way to govern the country, and refuse to admit their faults, they will speak to you with knives and handles. Conquer dissatisfaction with force. This is the simplest, most effective, and rude way.
When Zhou Shixiang came to Beijing this time, he was also preparing to unify his "ideas". This matter, like the constitutional reform, is a top priority. The situation of the two is different, but the essence is the same, that is, an atmosphere with only one voice and one will must be formed from top to bottom. Only in this way can he be assured that he will lead the northern expedition without any worries.
..........
Huang Zongxi has been included in the "blacklist" by Zhou Shixiang, ready to completely overthrow the stinky characters. I don't want to, but this person saw the opportunity so quickly, he just entered the city, he came to meet him, and sent a piece of "Yuanjun" that advocated that the emperor was a public servant.
At the gate of the city, Zhou Shixiang did not read "Yuanjun" carefully, and asked Huang Zongxi to accompany him to the palace for a detailed discussion.
On the way back to the palace, Zhou Shixiang watched "Yuanjun" carefully in the carriage, but he sneered after reading it. He didn't deceive Huang Zongxi's tricks. This "Yuanjun" seems to be for him Zhou Shixiang. Gu Yanwu's "virtual monarch" is a bit like thinking, and he also said that the monarch is not responsible, and can be replaced by a virtuous person, but the concept of gentry autonomy is hidden in it.
It can be summed up in one sentence - the emperor can refuse it at any time, but the gentry must never refuse it. The world is governed by the emperor and the gentry. Thousands of gentry are the incarnations of the emperor. Whether in court or locality, these thousands of gentry should shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the world for the monarch.
Zhou Shixiang had no intention of reforming the system by constitutional decree and eventually evolved into gentry autonomy. The virtues of gentry have never been reliable. Ninety percent of the so-called virtuous villagers will eventually evolve into bad gentry and tyrannical powers. The restructuring he needs is that the world can only be dominated by one voice and one will, rather than the incarnation of a monarch sharing the heavy responsibility of governing the country for him. At least, in China now, and even in China for a hundred years, gentry autonomy is definitely digging its own grave.
"Yuanjun" was completely rejected, and even Zhou Shixiang, who had discussed this matter with Huang Zongxi, directly put the Lord Zongxian down.
Huang Zongxi's actions are also true to the old saying, even when he died, he still refused to regret Wu, and changed his way to want new bottles of old wine, and to sell Confucianism. No matter how hard he tried to add so-called new ideas to that set to meet the needs of the powerful, in the end, it was still the Confucian set.
Zhou Shixiang was not Zhu Yuanzhang, so he would not be fooled by these great scholars. He summoned Zhang An, who had been in Beijing a long time ago, and told him that Huang Zongxi's gang still refused to go to the Dao. What does this mean? It shows that they do not realize that they have become the representatives of the disaster for the country and the people. This calamity to the country and the people is not because they did something bad to kill people and set fire to it, but that their thoughts bound the people of the country.
"The thinking of these people needs to be improved, and the Confucian system, which is less good and more bad, has to be rearranged."
Zhou Shixiang instructed Zhang An to invite Huang Zongxi, the general constitution, to go to various places to have a look and to experience the suffering of the Ming people since Jiashen. , the Confucianism they have learned is out of tune with this great era.
What Daming and the people need are new ideas, aggressive and iron-blooded ideas, not the old-fashioned idea of literati-bureaucrats ruling the world together, nor the junk theory that the country can perish and the teachings that cannot perish, and it is not the same kind of tenderness. Deaf ostrich thinking.
Zhang An asked what to do if these people were still stubborn, but Zhou Shixiang did not answer, but asked him what to do.
Later, Zhou Shixiang entered the palace and met with Emperor Dingwu.
Several academicians in the cabinet, Zhang Huangyan, Minister of War, and Huang Zongxi, who came out of the Qi Wangfu in confusion, all entered the palace.
Xu Shi was tacit, and perhaps he was not speculative, Emperor Dingwu and Zhou Shi only had a few simple words to talk to each other, and the meeting ended there. This is also what it should mean. Whether it is Emperor Dingwu or Zhou Shixiang, they don't want to talk too much with each other now. After all, the two will soon become "Weng's son-in-law".
Next, the bureaucratic system of Nanjing City started to operate quickly, and the marriage of King Qi and the eldest princess temporarily covered up the undercurrent of Nanjing City.
.........
Zhou Shixiang had married a wife and was the groom's official, but this time he married a princess as a prince, so the memories of the past were completely useless. He originally wanted to keep things simple, but after listening to a set of procedures by the chief assistant Guo Zhiqi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, his head suddenly became big, but these are not ostentation, but etiquette. Zhou Shixiang had no way to object, so he simply let They're done.
At the Prince Qi Mansion, since Zhou Shixiang came back, there has been an endless stream of chariots and horses coming to give gifts. Zhou Shixiang did not refuse, and ordered everyone to accept it.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites had drawn up the etiquette for asking names, they set up the ceremony venue. According to "Changyi", the guards of honor were displayed outside the palace of King Qi. Set up two tables, covered with apricot satin tablecloths, one with the "Festival" and the other with the "Ask Name" book. The gifts that were prepared to be sent to the palace were also placed on it.
Since Jiashen, Daming has never had a prince's wedding, nor has he married a princess, so it is a rare thing for the imperial family or officials. Maybe some people can only meet this once in a lifetime.
After being played with like a puppet for a day, after completing the honoring ceremony, Zhou Shixiang returned to the palace and sat on the brocade stool with a tired face.
The steward of the palace, Xiang Rong, handed over a hot towel and said respectfully, "If Your Highness is tired, you might as well lie down and take a break. There is nothing else to do today, so it's time to take a break, so you can recharge your batteries and prepare for tomorrow."
"You have to rest well, or tomorrow will be too bad."
Zhou Shixiang waved to Xiang Rong to step back, and suddenly called him closer, and asked in a low voice, "How are they?"
Xiang Rong naturally knew who Zhou Shixiang was referring to by "they", and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the two ladies are now in Suzhou, and everything is fine."
"Oh, that's fine."
Zhou Shixiang pouted and let Xiang Rong go down. For Shi Yuanling, he can't say much about his feelings. At first, it was only a temporary move, and more of this mature woman was used as a tool. However, Zhou Shixiang has feelings for Lin Wan'er, but now he wants to marry the princess as his wife, and it is obviously impossible to say no to guilt.
After I was done with this, I went to Suzhou to see them.
Zhou Shixiang can only think like this, in the short term, he is afraid that he will not be able to go to Suzhou.
........
In the palace, Princess Shuyi went to Najib and levy after the human relations class. Najib means fortune-telling, that is, fortune-telling for marriage; if it is a "good omen" and the date of birth is suitable, ask the matchmaker to bring gifts to the engagement. Na levy, is to send engagement gifts.
The ancients said: "Men and women do not pay without a matchmaker, and there is no money to be seen." For Naji and levy, there are still corresponding ceremonies in the palace, but it is simpler. After the ceremony, an angel is sent to hold the festival and bring The gift goes to Prince Qi's mansion to confirm the wedding tomorrow.
The next day, before dawn, Shuyi was awakened by the palace people, but she was asked to take a bath. During the bath, she repeatedly used the skin care agent and Western perfume made from mung bean powder as the main raw material, rubbed her face and wiped her body. Afterwards, she put perfume powder on Shuyi's face, painted eyeliner, eyeshadow, blue eyebrows, red lips, and then made two "blushes" on the two cheeks. The princess is like a porcelain doll, but she is more than dignified, and there is no cuteness at all.
After looking carefully in the mirror again~www.novelbuddy.com~ Shuyi squeezed the feet of her clothes tightly with her small hands, carefully jumping around. The joy of being married to the one she loves as a wife makes Shuyi very excited.
After dressing up, Empress Chen came. After entering the house, she ordered all the people in the palace to go down, and then asked Shuyi in a low voice, "Has the menstrual affairs been here?"
Shuyi's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said shyly, "I went there a few days ago."
Empress Chen smiled and said in a low voice, "After a while, King Qi will come to welcome you. After you get married, when you go to bed at night, you will follow the movements of the Buddha of Joy, and you will be with him."
"Um."
Shuyi's answer was not as loud as a mosquito's.
