Chapter 144: Prelude to the Liaodong Raiders
Time flies like a flash of time.
Zhu Qi seemed to be able to see the details of his wedding with Xu Miaoyun, and more than nine months have passed in a blink of an eye.
Xu Miaoyun is now more than nine months pregnant. Her belly is straight and looks like a blown ball.
Zhu Qi put his hand on Xu Miaoyun's belly, feeling the little guy's fetal movement inside. The wonderful touch of the palms and feet when he raised his belly, and then he felt the reality that he was about to be a father.
However, before Zhu Qi could experience this real feeling well, he heard someone outside say:
"Your Highness, Zheng Shiyuan asked for a meeting."
Zhu Qi was stunned. He had just come back and was thinking about accompanying Xu Miaoyun.
But Xu Miaoyun said:
"Your Highness, your business is still important. I heard that the book "Study on Heart" has caused a great response among the students. Zheng Shiyuan must have come for this matter."
When Zhu Qi heard Xu Miaoyun say this, he nodded and said:
"Then I'll go back."
Zhu Qi quickly left the palace city and saw Zheng Shiyuan waiting in the imperial city.
Seeing Zhu Qi coming, Zheng Shiyuan hurriedly bowed and said:
"Zheng Shiyuan has lived up to the entrustedness of His Highness. He has made great achievements in charge of the spread of heart learning!"
Then he began to talk about the development of mind learning.
Since Zhu Qi wrote the book "Study of Heart" in March and handed it over to Zheng Shiyuan, Zheng Shiyuan has only spent a little time editing the book "Study of Heart" and then published it.
The theory of mind science has been known to many students because of a previous debate.
Now that the book has been published again, it was written by His Highness the King of Liao himself, it is naturally impossible for many students to miss such an opportunity.
Whether it is to maintain Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, or to learn and understand "Study of Heart".
The book "Science of Heart" has been very good since its release.
Of course, Zhu Qi naturally looked down on this amount of money for selling books.
However, because "Soul Learning" was compiled by Zhu Qi, that is to say, any student who has studied "Soul Learning" can now claim to be a student of the King of Liao!
Just like everyone says that they are students of Confucius and Mencius.
Nowadays, almost half of the students are studying "Study on the Heart".
After Zhu Qi walked to the academy and learned the "Soul Learning". When he saw Zhu Qi, he had to call him respectfully, except for calling him Your Highness.
After listening to it, Zhu Qi was a little amused, but the ability to spread the mind is also a thing that Zhu Qi is happy about.
However, what Zhu Qi cares more about than the study of mind is the situation of mathematics learning in official studies.
Zheng Shiyuan also said that because His Highness the King of Liao had given special instructions, he always cared about mathematics.
So I specially learned about mathematics with the Italian named Ma San.
Zheng Shiyuan has already learned the content of the "Mathematics Book" given by His Highness the King of Liao.
Zhu Qiyi was also a little surprised to hear that Zheng Shiyuan had finished learning all the contents of "Book of Mathematics".
But thinking about Zheng Shiyuan was born as the top scholar, he was a true academic master.
Although he is a top student in liberal arts, his learning methods and learning skills are definitely more important than those of ordinary people.
The "Mathematics Book" he made himself covers elementary school to junior high school. The difficulty is really not high at all. It is just an entry-level difficulty. It is nothing abnormal for Zheng Shiyuan to learn it.
Zheng Shiyuan is now a teacher in mathematics subjects in the Imperial College, and more and more students in mathematics are becoming more and more.
Zhu Qi felt relieved when he heard that more and more people were learning mathematics.
With such a large base, there are always a few outstanding students.
When I go to Liaodi to become a vassal state, I will recruit these outstanding students, and will not have the first batch of theoretical research seedlings?
Zhu Qi thought about it in his heart, and then he heard Zheng Shiyuan continue to say:
"But your Highness, the court has already discussed that the Liaodong territory will probably be decided next year."
Now Liaodong is still in the hands of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang will never let Liaodong go.
However, Liaodong is still under the control of Nahachu. If you want to recover Liaodong, you have to defeat Nahachu first.
Zhu Qi asked:
"Has the court discussed a plan?"
Zheng Shiyuan shook his head and said:
"I am not a military general. I am now the chief official of the Liao king and have never attended the court meeting, so I don't know much about this.
I just heard from my colleagues that Your Majesty has a very good idea of asking Your Highness, you to lead your troops to fight."
Zhu Qi was stunned when he heard this. What's the point? Do you want me to lead troops to fight again?
Zhu Qi's scalp was tingling. From the sixth year of Hongwu to the end of the ninth year of Hongwu, the time he stayed in Yingtian Mansion was added together for about a year.
The rest of the time, I ran around the southeast, southwest and northwest of China. I would not lead troops to fight, but I would go to sea to fight, and even travel to the plateau.
This is simply a model worker's line of action. The court is not sympathetic to my hard work and wants me to lead my troops to the war?
But Zhu Qi knew that most of these things were really possible.
After all, if you refer to the eight kings of the subway in history, who is not good at fighting?
For example, Zhu Di, at the age of 25 in history, was the general of the Northern Expedition, commanding the entire army to fight for the Northern Expedition.
Of course, this is just a nominal commander. The deputy general who followed was Lan Yu, and most of the military operations were led by Lan Yu.
Zheng Shiyuan mainly came to report these things. After saying that, Zheng Shiyuan left.
As for Zhu Qi, although he was worried that he would be arranged to be the general of Liao.
But this matter is not something I can dominate. Since it comes, you can rest assured. Now, let’s have a good New Year.
Also, how should I introduce Xu Miaoyun and Bai Tang Yuer to know each other? I am really worried...
The New Year of the Ten Years of Hongwu will soon be here.
———————
The New Year of the Ten Years of Hongwu has arrived in the heavy snow.
Xu Miaoyun and Bai Tang Yuer knew each other almost didn't worry Zhu Qi.
Bai Tang Yuer had known that Zhu Qi had a wife for a long time, and she never minded it from beginning to end.
Xu Miaoyun is a well-educated female student, not to mention that she knew that Zhu Qi was the King of Liao, and as a prince of the Ming Dynasty, three wives and four concubines were definitely indispensable.
So, Zhu Qi hated this evil feudalism in his heart. Don’t poison others. Let’s all come towards me, so it’s more violent.
At the dynasty meeting in the tenth year of Hongwu, there were envoys from other countries.
There was also the Buddha Bao Master from the Kangba Buddha Kingdom who was surrendered by Zhu Qi, who actually sent an envoy.
He was really convinced by the letter of persuasion written by Zhu Qi and Liu Bowen. The Buddha Treasure National Master really came to pay tribute in the tenth year of Hongwu.
Qinghai's capture allowed the initiative to return to the Ming Dynasty in an instant.
Since he had the initiative, Zhu Yuanzhang would never be idle and without any action.
He soon began to discuss with the court officials to overcome the matter in Liao.
And everyone knows the coach this time.
It must be our King of Liao Zhu Qi!
