116 Advice
Although there were no ceremonies in the palace for me, many things had obviously changed. The first is that the nurses have been sent out of the palace one after another. They are all women in the prime of life, and most of them have family members and children outside the palace, and their grades are not low. The county-level figures, but now for me, a princess who no longer needs to be nursed, is really pitiful, and they all have seniority, and they have brought me up since childhood, and it is inevitable that they are a little dependent on the old and sell the old, and I often worry about them, so I am quite excited in this matter, when my mother asked me if I want to keep one or two people in the palace, I shook my head busily to stop, and when I turned around, I rewarded three hundred silk silks, and sent people away happily.
The second thing is my schoolwork. According to the system, Li Rui's schoolwork and I are all in violation of the law - he did not get married and went out of the cabinet to study in the Hongwen Pavilion, opened a mansion, and was assisted by the prince's assistants, friends, attendants, literature, sacrificial wine, etc., but he often stayed in the palace and took classes with me, I should not have studied like a prince, but since I was a child, I have been taught from Li Rui's attendants, attendants, scholars, and scholars, and what I learned was not a woman's internal rules, but "Urgent Chapters", "Selected Literature", "Lao Tzu", and occasionally went to listen to the lectures of the Five Classics with the prince or Li Rui. Recently, my mother ordered Miao Shenke, Liu Yizhi and others to teach me the history of the scriptures, and the two of them arranged for me to first "The Book of Filial Piety" and then the "Analects", mixed with "Poems" and "Erya", but my mother ordered me to study the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Clan" and "Chinese" - these are the large and small scriptures prescribed in Guozi Studies, and those who have passed the second scripture can be conferred officials, in terms of today's common sense, it should not be the scope of my little girl's coursework, but since I am in the inner palace, no one can care about me except my mother, and there has always been no major matter. Now the tide is coming, but everything is different again, several clan women are on the book to advise, my mother can't resist them, so I added the inner rules to my schoolwork, I was originally in the side hall of the Zhenguan Palace from the bachelors to study, this group of talkative ministers want to let me stay in the inner palace to be taught, and finally my mother said that the harem is not convenient for the bachelors to enter and exit, specially in the Jixian Hall to open a small courtyard, set up a curtain, ordered me to study in the curtain, the scholars teach outside the curtain, there is a guard of honor in and out, there are more than two elderly female officials leading the palace during class, Only when there were two or more internal officials and two or more honor guards were the only ones that I was able to study the scriptures and history in a proper manner. Seeing that my mother was so serious, my father didn't know where he got the idea, so he stipulated that I should also try every ten years like Li Rui, and once I finished studying, there would be a promotion test.
The third thing is my monthly supply. It's not that the former palace dared to withhold my things, but since this time, the objects sent have obviously been more refined and luxurious than before. Especially the clothes sent by the Shang Fang Bureau, in the past, there were many styles that looked rough and did not distinguish between men and women, but now they are all kinds of skirts with large pleats and flowers, inlaid and embroidered, lest they are not gorgeous enough, and the placket is also much lower. My mother also asked someone to give me a lot of extra jewelry, and set me a "fat powder money" with Li Rui's "paper, pen, book and ink money" - both of our expenses were taken out by my mother from the empress's example, and she had never been in Tibetan Province, so she had no right to ask outside. It is rumored that the fat powder money is only one-third of the paper and pen money, so it can be inferred that the amount of money and silk that his mother privately supplies Li Rui every month is really amazing, and Li Rui did not live up to his mother's expectations. Recently, because his father was in better health, the prince resigned from his position as a supervisor of the country, and only studied and practiced in the East Palace every day, and also received the official note "Book of the Later Han" under the East Palace, but the limelight was not as good as Li Ruisheng.
In May, I remember the name Liu Renliang the most, the reason for remembering him is very simple, in April we ate the defeat of Tubo, Nazhou, Qianzhou and the local people rebelled, my mother was not very familiar in the military, so I had to ask my father to drag the sick body out to preside over the government, and select virtuous ministers and good generals to recruit troops to resist the enemy, my father laughed at my mother for this, and said, "It turns out that you Wu Qiniang can't make up your mind", deliberately waited for my mother to invite a few times, before issuing an edict to Liu Renliang to town Taohe Army, and selected several people to negotiate separately, my mother suggested that from Henan, Hebei conscription, no matter good or bad, can not only enrich the troops, but also to settle the drought displaced people, my father happily promised, quite complacent: "Qi Niang can be a scholar, if it is on the march to fight, but it is a little worse." ”
Mother smiled: "Naturally, it is not as good as Saburo." Before Liu Renliang left, he specially ordered me to meet him behind the curtain, pointed at me and smiled at him: "I hope that Liu Gong will be mighty and far-reaching, so that my little daughter will not have to worry about harmony." "He also ordered me to bow through the curtain and thank you, earnestly, and deeply entrusted. Soon after Liu Renliang left, Wei Shuxuan was released as the history of the Minzhou Thorn, and Wei Siqian and Cen Changqian, the squire of the military department, both added three products under the same Zhongshu Sect, but they added two prime ministers at once - this is her mother's suggestion, she thinks that the military and political affairs are complicated now, and the political affairs hall is understaffed, and the qualifications of these two people are a little shallow in terms of the prime minister, and the horizontal and vertical prime ministers have always had no fixed number, it is better to choose two more, the virtuous will be used, and the unvirtuous will be rejected. My father thought so.
Mother and other fathers agreed to her suggestion, and put forward fourteen suggestions in the book: please study "Lao Tzu" below the prince, please ask your father to serve your mother for three years when her mother is mourned, please "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects" as a compulsory study for the examination, please take the Ming Jing Department as the regular practice of the imperial examination, try once a year, please increase the number of officials in Beijing, please convert the amount of 100 officials into money and silk, and pay it in one piece, please exempt the three auxiliary and other areas from servitude, please do not build a large number of buildings after the completion of the Shangyang Palace, and ask the 100 officials who have not been promoted for a long time to use it. Promote as appropriate, please open up the way of speech, please prohibit frivolity, please put an end to slander, please add two more words for your father, please seal Zen Taishan.
The first twelve fathers are "glad to be able to get married", but the last two are "fixed several times", and so on the mother, Li Rui and hundreds of officials repeatedly wrote, only to "reluctantly" obey, but the emperor and the queen have added two words of honorific titles, which are for the Emperor Shengwen and the Queen of Shengwen, and issued an edict to seal the Zen ceremony, but the mother is the sub-offering. 166 Reading Network
