Zhang Shou came from an era that was bitterly denounced by some retroists as a bad etiquette, because all the superiority and inferiority were once broken, and all classes were once shattered, so he could be polite, but he was unwilling to talk about etiquette; He can be moral, but he doesn't want to be stereotyped.

Therefore, although he likes history, poetry and songs, and agrees with the beauty of Hanfu, he does not like to respect retro everything.

You must know that he used to be the person who would feel uncomfortable when he saw the strict class in the Japanese and Korean drama companies and families. He has always scoffed at the admiration of red tape by some scholars who advocate that we should bow down to our parents and re-perform the crown ceremony. This is the same as after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei advocated for the group of old and young people that if they don't kneel down, what is the use of their knees!

Now that he is in the real hierarchical Da Ming, don't mention his discomfort. Therefore, he was especially grateful to Emperor Taizu for sweeping the Six-in-One Eight Wildernesses, and swept away the kneeling ceremony from the Chang Dynasty and the daily visits and meetings, which only the Great Dynasty has.

Otherwise, the palace is definitely the last place he wants to go, not one!

But now, Ge Yong is willing to personally come forward to help him preside over this crown ceremony equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony, and after the Wu family, who Ah Liu took over from Zhang Yuan, heard about it, he was even more happy and cried with joy, although Mrs. Tai said that she was noncommittal, but asked Zhu Ying to take out the clothes that were prepared for him to wear at the prayer feast, as if she was going to pick a dress, could he object?

Even if he is actually very indifferent to this kind of formalism, can he live up to the hard work and kindness of these relatives and friends? Undoubtedly, no. So, he could only helplessly watch as Ge Yong and the Wu family enthusiastically agreed on a good day and auspicious day, and who needed to be invited to watch the ceremony. If it weren't for Zhu Ying sneaking up to him without getting anything, he wouldn't have been able to sit still.

Seeing Zhu Ying's expression of "I really sympathize with you", he couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred, and lowered his voice and teased: "Yingying, don't be too happy, although I can't escape this crown ceremony, you can't avoid this ceremony, right?" ”

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Ying almost didn't laugh out loud, and immediately leaned into Zhang Shou's ear and laughed: "Ah Shou, you don't know, right?" Most of the girls' and hairpin ceremonies are not done alone, and when they get married, they will simply add hairpins and hairpins, so that they will not be as vigorous as you. ”

"Moreover, you don't know, the crown ceremony of the official was actually more of a crown ceremony for the son of the official in the past. Since this dynasty, there has never been an old example of being a five-rank official like you, and even a lot of students, but you haven't really performed the crown ceremony! ”

This time, Zhu Ying raised her voice slightly, and when she saw that Ge Yong and Wu, who were discussing hotly, suddenly quieted down, she showed a smug smile.

"Besides, the second addition of the crown, the addition is the Jinxian crown, right? Ah Shou, you are now a five-grade official, there is a Jinxian crown in the court clothes, and it is also a three-beam crown, and now you have officially performed a crown salute again, what did you wear at the court meeting in the past? When the four mountain chiefs gathered in the capital, so many scholars also gathered in the capital to wait for the next year's examination, if this matter spreads......"

Before Zhu Ying could finish speaking, Ge Yong immediately said: "Yingying is right, Zhang Shou has already worn a crown!" If the crown ceremony is really done with great fanfare, it will be laughed at if it is spread out! ”

Wu was also shocked by Zhu Ying's words, but she couldn't help but be embarrassed at this time because she had little knowledge.

And Mrs. Tai, who had just looked at Ge Yong and Wu's heated discussion, coughed at this time: "Although Emperor Taizu ruled the world, restored the Han and Tang dynasties, and restored the ancient rites according to the request of the Ministry of Rites, and the ceremony system of the crown ceremony was also made public to the world, but he himself was not interested in these ancient rites, so not to mention the folk in these years, most of the crown rites of the civil and military family are fictional stories." ”

"Or simplify the complicated rituals, or the father goes through the motions to personally crown his son in the family temple and finishes it with a few words of encouragement, or simply don't come to this set and crown his children and grandchildren directly when they are old. Zhang Shou is already a fifth-grade official here, so it is better to say to the outside world that in the past, Old Master Ge had already been in the green room in the village and personally crowned him, how about it? ”

Zhang Shou saw Ge Yong's helpless face, he gratefully glanced at himself to save himself a big trouble, Zhu Ying, who was smiling brightly at this time, quickly stood up and walked in front of Ge Yong, and made a deep sigh: "Teacher, although you actually didn't crown me personally, but many of the principles of being a person and doing things are taught by words and deeds, which is essentially equivalent to crowning me with a long hair salute." ”

"Who doesn't know that I can have today because of the teacher's discernment and simple promotion of me in the countryside?"

"Stinky boy, it's a good shot!"

Ge Yong helped Zhang Shou up angrily, and then snorted softly: "I don't know you yet? Afraid of trouble, it's true that you want to be lazy, right? Hmph, but a crown ceremony is really lengthy, you can hold it, my old man may not be able to hold it! You have the ability to be so afraid of trouble that you don't even have a wedding, so I, an old man, obeyed you! ”

Saying this, Ge Yong glanced at Zhu Ying, who had just really made a move to stir up his overall plan—but he couldn't be angry about this grinning little girl, because of Zhu Ying's reminder, he did avoid turning back, and this moment became a joke in other people's mouths. The crown ceremony didn't work, but people have long been officials and wore the crown of virtue, what is this?

Therefore, after annoying Zhang Shou's two sentences, he still sat back, and then said unhurriedly: "In this case, the table words don't need to be given when you crown the ceremony, let's go, go to your Zhang Yuan's family temple." ”

Zhu Ying's eyes flashed, and she was naturally itchy and wanted to be the first to know, seeing Ge Yong dragging Zhang Shou out, she hurriedly wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ge Yong stretching out a hand.

She still wanted to fight for it again, but she saw Zhang Shou next to Ge Yong also shook his head at her: "Yingying, in short, thanks to you for thinking about it just now, otherwise you might be laughing and generous." Don't worry, I'll let Ah Liu run again, and promise to be the first to tell you. ”

Zhu Ying stopped at this time, and when she turned around and saw that the Wu family hadn't followed, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. But she asked curiously, and Wu smiled and said, "This matter should be told by Old Master Ge in front of Ah Shou's parents, so I won't go first." The marriage will be held in November, and I will discuss it with Mrs. Tai, although I have been making various preparations before, but I have no bottom in my heart. ”

Although Mrs. Tai had already understood Wu's temperament, she was still afraid that she would have to take care of herself as an adoptive mother, and now she was naturally very relieved to see her so frank and thoughtful, so she had to drive away Zhu Ying, who was still listening to the wedding agenda with her face salivating. That's not all, she also sent the powerful Mother Jiang outside to guard against Zhu Ying from eavesdropping.

Zhang Shou didn't know that as soon as he left, Zhu Ying was kicked out of Qing'an Hall by Mrs. Tai. When he came out of the Zhao Guogong Mansion and boarded Ge Yong's carriage, as the carriage started smoothly, he heard Ge Yong suddenly sigh.

"If it weren't for the fact that the emperor suddenly came to me yesterday and asked the third prince if he could be crowned at this age, I wouldn't have remembered that you don't seem to have done the crown ceremony. As a result, fortunately, Xiao Yingying reminded me, otherwise I, an old man who claims to be full of poetry and books, would be embarrassed. ”

Zhang Shou didn't hear the second half at all, and his thoughts were completely taken away by Ge Yong's first half of the words.

The emperor plans to give the crown salute to the three princes? But how big are the three princes? Waiting for next year's New Year is barely ten years old, and according to the full age, the third prince seems to be just over eight years old? Eight-year-old children learn plane geometry, he used to call it not to promote seedlings, but to destroy seedlings, right? The fourth prince is half a year younger than the third prince, it's really not surprising that people can't keep up, it's genius to keep up......

Zhang Shou turned a lot of thoughts in his heart at once, until he suddenly heard a loud cough, he looked up and saw Ge Yong staring at him with a flat face, he knew that his distraction could not hide from the teacher, and he could only laugh dryly: "I'm just thinking about the age of the third prince...... Crowning him so suddenly, both inside and outside the DPRK and China knew what was going on. ”

"That's right, that's a proclamation."

Ge Yong nodded, and then looked at the front of the car: "You don't have to worry, the driver in front of you is deaf and dumb, and he can't hear anything, and the same is true of the guards I brought out today." All of them were people who had followed Emperor Ruizong in the palace back then, they were deaf and dumb orphans, and didn't there be Ah Liu? I am telling you today to ask you, have you ever thought of being an emperor like me in the future? ”

“……”

Zhang Shou really wanted to tell the emperor's words in Qingning Palace today, and then ask the teacher's opinion, but don't say that he had promised to keep silent in front of the queen mother, even if he didn't, this kind of thing can't be leaked casually. And what Ge Yong asked him at this time was obviously not a leak of forbidden Chinese, but it was very likely that he was ordered by the emperor to ask him.

So, after the initial extremely helpless silence, he said in a dry voice: "Why is this so? ”

"If you ask me why, I can only answer you, and I don't know." Ge Yong rubbed his temples in annoyance, and then said in a low voice, "Perhaps, when gathering those mountain chiefs to gather in the capital, the emperor will not choose the prince's master, but the future emperor's master." Of course, the emperor only has me as a teacher, but not necessarily this time. One, two, three, or even more are possible. ”

"From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who have been emperors, but few have left a name, and even fewer have a good end."

Ge Yong, as the emperor, did not shy away from the fate of the emperors throughout the ages: "Even if the prince Jinggong of the Song Dynasty was so famous, the Divine Sect was obedient to him for a time, but he worshiped the prime minister twice and dismissed the prime minister twice, but in the end, the ending was only not in the history of the Song Dynasty compiled by the Yuan people. As for the others, Zhou Gong Huo Guang, which one has not been an actual emperor? ”

Zhang Shou is not surprised that Ge Yong will cite the last two examples, I am afraid that this teacher experienced the corresponding pressure when he was the emperor of the young son of heaven. And what he thought of in his heart was Zhang Juzheng, who was famous in another time and space.

The young Emperor Shenzong once respected "Mr. Zhang", how tragic was the fate after his death?

And Ge Yong noticed the change in Zhang Shouna's mood, so he sighed again and said: "To be honest, when the emperor stuffed the third prince and the fourth prince into the mid-mountain hall, I didn't expect the situation to take such a sharp turn. Oh, the court situation is quite stable, that is, the eldest prince and the second prince, who were pinched like black-eyed chickens in the past, would fall so quickly, which is too unexpected. ”

"If in the past, the emperor had to choose a less bad one from the two of them, then after several incidents, especially the Cangzhou incident, the emperor has already made up his mind to put aside these two royal scum who have not achieved enough and have more than enough failures. Therefore, the third prince and the fourth prince like you very much as a teacher, and you stand out. ”

Zhang Shou didn't know whether he should be honored or smile bitterly at this time.

You must know that when the third prince and the fourth prince were sent to him, they were still two Xiao Zhengtai of the East Palace who were completely hopeless, and he just taught people as children who came to enlighten casually, nothing more.

However, thinking of the stories of Gaozong and Sejong that Chu Kuan and Zhu Ying told him successively, what Sejong was weak and sick, and his power was sidelined; What Gaozong's mother's biological mother died early, and those reserve talents prepared by the emperor and Taizong were cleaned by ministers with ulterior motives...... Thinking of the third prince's current age, he felt as if he understood the emperor's eagerness to choose a famous teacher.

He wanted to ask Ge Yong how the emperor was doing, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his mouth. If the emperor is not in good health, then he naturally has to choose a famous teacher for the three princes, in case of accidents, there can be a successor who understands adaptability and is sophisticated; And if the emperor is in good health...... Then the three princes who are a little bit big are also very advantageous!

Because if the emperor can live for another twenty years, the eldest prince and the second prince can't survive for so long, but the third prince can. Twenty years later, the third prince was only twenty-nine years old, and it was the prime of life

However, thinking of the third prince who was intelligent, shy and serious, persistent to a little stubborn in some aspects, and loved his younger brother, Zhang Shou finally said softly: "It doesn't matter what the emperor is, but I am willing to continue to be the teacher of the third prince." Of course, I only taught him arithmetic. However, when Yingying and I went to Banzai Mountain today to meet him and the four princes, we also promised one thing. ”

Zhang Shou mentioned the matter of talking about foreign history, and saw Ge Yong looking at him with a strange face, and his eyes were clearly asking, how do you know so much foreign history, so he smiled lightly: "Teacher, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, there are too many people who have studied these historical materials of the past dynasties. I'm young and young, so I don't talk about foreign history......"

"What else can I say? As far as my shallow history lecture in Banshan Hall was concerned, I could only fool those who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. ”

Ge Yong was dumbfounded. On the next road, he didn't say much until the carriage finally stopped at the gate of Zhang Yuan, he followed Zhang Shou to get out of the car and enter the door, and followed the main road all the way to the family temple in the east that had been almost rebuilt, and he whispered: "The king of Lu back then planned to make this place a temple to worship his biological mother, Concubine De, but now it is cheaper for you." ”

And after this abrupt sentence, he turned to look at Zhang Shou, and said word by word: "I actually thought of a lot of words for you, but there are only two that I am most satisfied with, one of which is called Zichang, a disciple of Sage Confucius, a famous gentleman Gongye. Second...... It is said that Yuan He, Yuan He, Shi Ye, and He, are not rigid or soft. Together, it is the beginning of oneness, and harmony is long. ”
