Chapter 138 The conditions she proposed
Chen Xu thought of what Liu Jingyan said: During this crowning ceremony, she wanted to make a deal with His Majesty! I only hope that your Majesty will deal with it impartially when the time comes!
So handling this matter impartially means Princess Yunyin is Princess Yuhua Chen Jianchen?
So what is the deal she is talking about?
Let Xiao Xian be loyal to the Chen royal family and serve the court?
"Hahaha... Okay, very good. Since you designed this for me and don't care about friendship, then I won't be polite!"
Xiao Jian burst out laughing, his eyes becoming sinister and strange.
"Aren't you going to guard Prince Zhaoming's selected works and collection of books? Then I will destroy them all!"
"Xiao Jinyu, long before you wrote to me to attend this crowning ceremony, I was prepared. If you are unkind and unjust to me, then I will destroy Prince Zhaoming's collection of books and all his assets. You No one can even think of it!"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests present, especially some young scholars, couldn't help but become angry.
In this era, literary collections are a more precious asset than money and materials. Many books are only copies. Once lost or destroyed, they will never be seen again.
When the Western Wei Dynasty invaded Jiangling, Xiao Yi, the Emperor of Liang Yuan Dynasty, burned 140,000 volumes of books in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves. Those books were all rare books he had collected for more than 40 years. The destructiveness was comparable to Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians!
The Prince of Zhaoming, Xiao Tong, also loved reading. When he was still alive, he recruited talented people and was diligent in writing. At that time, it was said that the collection of books in the East Palace had tens of thousands of volumes. When the prince passed away, they were passed down to future generations. It is unknown how many volumes there are now. Pamper the large number.
"Xiao Jian, if you dare to burn books, you will be an eternal sinner like Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan!" Some scholars couldn't help but scolded.
"Hahaha... so what? I have nothing now, what can you do to me?"
Xiao Jian laughed crazily, Xiao Jinyu looked unmoved, Xiao Xian ordered his troops to bind Xiao Jian, the loyal general of Gongyi, and bring him forward.
No, they are not nervous at all!
Shouldn’t I be heartbroken and beg him not to burn books?
You beg?
As long as you beg me, everything will be easy to discuss!
Please!
Xiao Jian roared in his heart, and at this moment, he saw Xiao Jinyu sneer.
Gongyi Zhongdao: "Master Wulang, long before you prepared to burn the books, our little girl had already expected that you would do this, so all of your troops guarding the library were already taking orders from the little girl and the head of the family.
Besides, you are so heartless, how many people are willing to follow you and take orders from you? Miss Luan was forced to hand over the key to the library to you, but this does not mean that you will be the one to dominate all this.
We, the tribe, must still obey the orders of Miss Luan and protect the cultural heritage of Prince Zhaoming to the death, especially the library! "
At this time, Gong Liangcheng rushed back with a group of troops and handed a key to Xiao Jinyu.
"Little girl, this is the key to the library. Master Wulang ordered the housekeeper to burn the library, but we have captured it. The privacy of the library has not been damaged."
Xiao Jinyu nodded and said: "Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
Immediately, he handed the key to Xiao Xian.
At this time, Princess Yunyin also laughed crazily.
"Hahaha...Brother, have you seen this? This wretched maid is very scheming and scheming. If you don't kill her, she will endanger the Chen family sooner or later.
By the way, she also colluded with Prince Lanling, the envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty. She has already had a secret affair with Prince Lanling. This cheap maid..."
At this time, King Lanling could no longer bear it and was about to stand up when Chen Xu finally spoke.
"Fan Yi, take her down and hand her over to Captain Ting!" he ordered sternly.
"Yes!" Fan Yi responded and ordered two imperial guards to drag Chen Jianchen away.
Chen Jianchen seemed to be in disbelief, but also seemed to understand something, crying and laughing, and shouted: "Brother Emperor, you can't do this to me, you can't do this to me, I am..."
She didn't say the rest of the words before she was knocked unconscious by the guards with the hilt of their swords.
The guests present were a little stunned and speechless, looking at Xiao Jinyu and Prince Lanling with some inexplicable meaning in their eyes.
Or it means curiosity, admiration, or playfulness.
Only Xiao Xian showed a look of shock and worry, and he couldn't help but pull Xiao Jinyu to his side, blocking everyone's view with his body.
"What Princess Yunyin said was made out of nothing. The ants are still alive. We are just taking precautionary measures to protect ourselves. This has nothing to do with conspiracy, let alone endangering the country!"
After Xiao Xian said something to everyone, he faced the emperor Chen Xu again and said sincerely:
"It is not easy to be a king, but it is difficult to be a good minister. If loyalty is not shown, there will be doubts!"
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to slander!"
Chen Xu's expression really made people wonder. At this moment, Xiao Jinyu said to the guests in the garden: "I have agreed with Uncle Xian that the Lanling Xiao family will open up the family clan in the future. Scholars, regardless of poverty, can enter the school!"
"Is this true?"
When these words came out, several scholars from poor families present were surprised and surprised. You must know that people like them from poor families had very few opportunities to study. After Emperor Jin Yuan established his capital in Jiankang, he did set up an imperial college. The five science museums, which teach literature, history, Confucianism, Xuanxuan, and Yin and Yang, have been continuously developed since the Southern Dynasties. However, Taixue was also monopolized by the nobles. The nobles were exempted from taking examinations for admission, but they, the poor people, were not even qualified for admission.
If you can enter the Xiao clan school, you will definitely be not much worse than the Taixue school. What's more, it will be even worse than that of the Taixue school!
The Xianlang of the Xiao family was able to write poems at the age of three, and memorized the classics of Confucius, Mencius, and Lao Zhuang at the age of five. If it weren't for the deep heritage of this aristocratic family, how could he have raised such a handsome and talented person!
Moreover, the Xiao family does not set a threshold for poor families. This is really something that makes all the poor people in the world overjoyed!
So, is this the reason why the Xiao family invited the poor family members to participate in addition to Xiao Xian's crowning ceremony?
But will the Xiao family's recruitment of talents be jealous of the emperor?
Just as this thought was swirling in the minds of the scholars, Xiao Jinyu said: "This move is to cultivate and select talents for the emperor. Therefore, all the schools established will belong to the emperor!"
This sentence was obviously said to the emperor Chen Xu who was sitting at the top and watching the overall situation.
As soon as these words came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that if the emperor was unhappy, he would really comply with Princess Yunyin's words and take action on this little lady.
This little lady is really thoughtful!
"Also, our Xiao family will no longer maintain private soldiers, and the number of tenants, servants and maids we support will no longer exceed 500!"
This sentence finally moved Chen Xu.
Is this the deal you made with me?
“Therefore, the Xiao family will not take back the Tribe Governor Seal held by Princess Yunyin, but from now on, it no longer belongs to my Xiao family’s Tribe Governor Seal, and the Xiao family will not Farewell!"
At this point, Xiao Jinyu paused, then changed the topic and said loudly: "Besides, I, Xiao Jinyu, voluntarily marry to Northern Qi to represent the alliance between Chen and Qi and the good relationship between Qin and Jin. !”
After saying that, he turned his attention to King Lanling.
"Gao Changgong, do what you said before still count?" she asked with a smile in her eyes.
Yesterday, I was very grateful to Yanzhihu 1 for the reward, to Xiao Zihu for the monthly ticket, and to everyone for the recommendation, comment, and support. We will soon enter the Northern Qi chapter, a debauched dynasty
