In traditional Chinese Confucian culture, Mencius' status is also very noble, almost comparable to Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and is respected as a sub-saint.

But the status of the descendants of the sub-saint Mencius really began to improve, starting from the Song Dynasty. The descendants were more famous, as if there were not many Meng Haoran and Meng Jiaowai who was "the loving mother's hand and the wandering son'.

Zhu Yuanzhang treated Confucius and Mencius' descendants very well. In addition to giving sacrifices to land and exempting labor service, he also gave the cross "Xi Yan Gong Yancheng, Hong Wenzhen Shang Yin" as the word "Xi Yan" for the descendants of Confucius and the descendants of Mencius.

Although Mencius officially accepted official sacrifices and his descendants also accepted rewards from the court, they were still much worse than the Confucius family.

The emperor had no intention of raising the Meng family to the same height as Kong Gao, but he wanted to use the issue to praise Meng and criticize Confucius.

The descendants of Mencius really made the emperor look at him with admiration when the rebels were in chaos. Compared with the Kong family, they were not a little stronger.

This is just a signal, without being too clear, without being too obvious, and without even letting too many people figure out what the emperor means.

Even Liu Ruoyu didn't know why the emperor had a whim and suddenly praised the descendants of the Meng family. Xu Hongru's White Lotus Sect had been in chaos for many years, so why did he remember it today?

But the emperor's thoughts are unpredictable, and there may be deep meaning behind everything. Liu Ruoyu couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it seriously.

It is said that you should guess the holy intention, but you can only be secretly hidden in your heart. How could Yang Xiu die? He just talks badly. Only those who see through but don’t say it thoroughly are masters.

The emperor rested for a while, and then retrieved the information sent from Liaodong and looked through it one by one.

Among them are the Mongolian tribes, the Manchus, and the remnants of Jiannu from the north. Although it has been counted, there are still many.

Some information only reflects superficial situations, and the emperor can often obtain deeper information based on the trajectory of historical development.

The remnants of Jiannu must be solved, but from the intelligence point of view, they are just surviving and have retreated to the second place.

The first one now is the turn of Hudun Rabbit. The reason why the emperor did not accumulate energy was that he wanted him to continue to do things, and to keep them away, so that he would save more effort.

Besides, the emperor was still waiting for the tiger and rabbit to move westward, and beat the Mongolian tribes with the right wing!

Sparse snowflakes danced in the air, hesitating and hesitating to the ground. This is their destination.

"The capital city has changed a lot!" Zhao Huizu opened the window and looked outside, not afraid of the cold wind blowing in.

Zhang Zongbao raised his face and glanced at him, then lowered his head and ate the mutton dipped in sesame paste.

In the private room, the hot pot was steaming and the seasonings were complete, and the table was filled with four people. They were all Zhao Huizu's friends.

There are many playboys in the capital, but now there are not many who can play with Zhao Huizu and others. The reason is very simple. Zhao Huizu and others no longer look down on those idle second-generation ancestors.

"I heard that my uncle is looking for a way to transfer you back to the capital, work in the martial arts or the Ministry of War." Zhang Junneng put down his chopsticks and asked, "It's good to go to the Beijing camp, but he may have to go out to fight in the future."

Zhao Huizu smiled, sat in the chair, and said, "I don't care, it's almost the same everywhere. My father naturally hopes that I will stay in the capital, get married and have children, and live a peaceful life."

Zhang Zongbao wiped his mouth and said, "My father planned this way, but the marriage he had made for me was really not satisfactory."

"I'm ugly?" Zhang Junneng glanced at his friend and joked: "It's not the same after turning off the light."

Tsk! Zhang Zongbao waved his hand and said, "I heard that he looks pretty good. Although he is not as beautiful as a beauty, he is also a jass of a small family. That's it--"

Several bad friends looked at each other curiously and teasingly. Zhang Zongbao rolled his eyes straight and said helplessly: "It's just too dignified and too orthodox. I think living in the future may be boring."

"The family is boring, just have fun outside!" Zhang Jun smiled disconcertedly and said, "Do you still want to marry a courtesan to enter the house? It would be strange if your father doesn't kill you?"

Zhao Huizu smiled and said, "The baby means to find a commoner, go to the hall and go to the kitchen. You can joke casually, which is interesting, right?"

Zhang Zongbao patted his thighs, and did not care about the awkwardness of the word "baby". He felt like a confidant and said, "That's it, but Pangpang understands me."

As he said that, Zhang Zongbao said unsatisfiedly: "On the way back to Beijing, when crossing a river, the girl who was ferrying was a certain type of person who liked."

Chen Qiluo was also from a noble family. He served in the same army with Zhang Zongbao and came back to visit relatives for vacation.

When Chen Qiluo heard Zhang Zongbao say the ferry girl, he was very surprised and blinked his eyes and said, "It's the amazing girl who is barefoot on a boat? Because he looked at her a few more times, he called himself "Auntie" and wanted to use a pole to knock people down the river?"

"It's her!" Zhang Zongbao picked up the chopsticks and slapped it on the table again. "I still remember her face tense and shouted: 'Who dares to fall from my aunt? I'll make a river and feed the turtle with you.'"

Zhao Huizu's eyes were round. He looked at Zhang Junneng, shook his head at the same time, and extended his thumb to Zhang Zongbao.

Really, what is this mentality? Do you think that marrying such a wife is not abused by the instructor when you first joined the army?

Zhang Zongbao laughed and said, "That girl is a stingy, interesting, so interesting!"

Everyone knew that Zhang Zongbao had just said that he could go back and find someone? Besides, the wild girls in the countryside have no idea about their family background.

"No matter what, our military uniforms must be worn until we grow old." Chen Qiluo said with emotion: "It's not a brag. It's all up to us to play in the army to make our homes easier. Those idle guys don't know when they will be packed up to beg for food!"

Now, everyone can see that the emperor is full of malice towards the vassal and nobles.

Don’t blame the emperor for this. Those playboys who rely on their ancestors’ elegance are really ineffective. Generations of this generation are becoming more and more useless.

"Long live, the road to promotion is opened. We may not be better than our ancestors." Zhao Huizu turned his wine glass and said lightly: "No matter how bad you are, you will have to live a good life with military pay."

Zhang Zongbao nodded and said, "This battle is a lot in the future, and there are always opportunities to make achievements. I think there are more opportunities in the south than in the north. What do you think?"

"It should be temporary." Zhang Junneng said thinking: "It's almost the same everywhere, it depends on whether you adapt. I'm quite scared of the climate in the south."

Zhang Zongbao shook his head and said, "It's the same when I get used to it. I still think there are more wars in the south. After all, the court is most concerned about food. Didn't the newspaper say that the scope of major disasters is larger and last longer."
