Volume 4 Chapter 5 Humble
Zhu Zaiyuan really didn't expect that he could have such a beautiful day, hundreds of brocade guards, dozens of palace maids, dozens of eunuchs, surrounded by stars and moons, out of the palace, to live in the mansion, this feeling, not to mention how cool.
These palace maids, eunuchs, and even Jinyi Wei Ke were all given to him by his father, and in the future, these people will be the people of his Yuwang Mansion!
He originally thought that when he grew up, it would be good to have a dozen brocade guards and a few palace maids and eunuchs to accompany him to the domain, who would have thought that he was only a few years old and would have such a rich team.
Of course, he knew very well in his heart that these were brought to him by his master Yang Cong, or his sister Lu Ling'er, because when he left the palace, his father Emperor Jiajing rarely summoned him to his side and told him carefully.
He listened to his father's words very carefully, and he also understood it, the main meaning is only one, you must be filial to your master and mother, especially your mother Lu Ling'er.
If you change to another prince or prince, after hearing this, it is estimated that you will disagree and even rebel, what are you kidding, I am a royal prince who wants to honor an official and a girl who doesn't know the so-called, what about the master and the master, is my prince a fake!
He didn't think so, because he felt that his status as a prince was not a big deal, or rather, he had not gained any respect because of this princely identity since he was a child, on the contrary, he was still trembling and walking on thin ice because of this princely identity.
He used to have eight brothers, but now there are only three left, is this normal?
Perhaps, other people think that this is normal, children, one accidentally dies, what's abnormal?
He knew that this was not normal, or rather, his mother Du Kangfei had been warning him that if he was not careful, the other five brothers would be his role model.
He didn't want to die, so since he was a child, he was trembling and cautious, for fear of offending someone, so he was quite humble in his heart, he didn't think there was anything great about his status as a prince, not to mention that Jiajing asked him to honor a minister and a girl who didn't know what to do, even if Jiajing asked him to honor an old palace maid or even a eunuch, he would do it seriously.
Because this is his way of survival, he believes that the reason why he can survive to this day is because of this prudence and caution, even if it is an ordinary palace maid and eunuch, he will treat it carefully, not to mention, his master Yang Cong and his master Lu Linger are not ordinary people at all.
His master Yang Cong won't talk about it, the name of Yasheng has spread all over the government and the opposition, and his master Lu Ling'er is even more terrible, but he has heard that when his father first entered the palace, he was rectified by his master Lu Ling'er.
It is rumored that at that time, his father was always lying in bed because of his young age, and refused to get up early, and all the ministers and the queen concubine in the palace had no way to take this matter, after all, his father was the emperor, and there was nothing more to do, what happened if he couldn't get up in bed, who would dare to lift the quilt and scold people?
In the end, this matter was solved by his father's nurse Li or his sister Lu Ling'er, because as long as his father was in bed, his father's nurse Li threw Lu Ling'er's little aunt and grandmother into the dragon bed, and this little aunt and grandmother rode on his father's head to make trouble, and his father had no choice but to get up reluctantly.
This thing sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is indeed a real thing, his father is really closer to his sister Lu Ling'er than his own sister, others, not to mention riding on his father's head, as long as he is a little disrespectful, it will be rectified to death, but his master Lu Ling'er, even if he rides on his father's head, his father is just blindly begging for mercy, and he has never lost his temper once!
If nothing else, he has to be filial to his master's degree of favor.
His father, Emperor Jiajing, asked him to honor his master Yang Cong and his wife Lu Ling'er, and he kept it firmly in his heart, and when he arrived at the mansion, he didn't do anything, the first thing was to send a personal eunuch to the mansion of his master Yang Cong to discuss the matter of apprenticeship.
Early the next morning, he bathed and changed his clothes, and came to Yang's Mansion early, ready to officially apprentice.
What he didn't expect was that this apprenticeship, not only did he attach great importance to it, but his master Yang Cong also attached great importance to it, just after the hour, Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, and other princes and nobles, as well as Zhang Bangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zou Shouyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and other high-ranking officials of the Yangming lineage, as well as the former champion Li Chunfang, the new champion Zhang Juzheng and other upstarts, all rushed over one after another.
Obviously, they were all invited by Master Yang Cong to watch the ceremony.
These people are all on duty, and if they came here so early, they must have taken leave.
In other words, Yang Cong is doing this, isn't he afraid that others will impeach him for plotting wrong?
You must know that the Ming royal family is quite strict about guarding against this kind of thing.
Of course, he knew this, and he also knew that there was a certain risk in doing so, but he still did it, because he knew that Zhu Zaiyuan would eventually inherit the unification, and he wanted Zhu Zaiyuan to realize how good his master was to him.
Zhu Zaiyuan didn't know this, seeing this full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, he was really excited.
He has never been taken so seriously, he is just a teacher, and there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries to watch the ceremony, you know, when he was crowned king, there were not so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries to watch the ceremony, can he not be excited?
Since he was a child, he has been like a humble ant, always cautious, for fear that he will be trampled to death by someone if he is not careful, where would he have thought that he would receive such a grand courtesy.
At this moment, his eyes were a little moist, and after the ceremonial official sang for a while, he knelt down sincerely, knelt in front of Yang Cong, kowtowed three times, and then took out the apprenticeship sticker, read it seriously, and then picked up the teacup handed over to the side, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea." ”
Yang Cong took the teacup, took a sip, and then handed him a scroll and a post, and said with a smile: "As a teacher, I don't want you to be in the top of the gold list high school, as long as you can be diligent and hardworking, and succeed in your studies." “
There is nothing wrong with this, because he is a prince, and it is impossible to participate in the imperial examination, as long as he can learn something, it will be fine.
The scroll given to him by Yang Cong is also the four words "learn to succeed", which is unremarkable, as for the post, it is incredible, it is a list, gold, silver jewelry, silk and satin, etc., worth tens of thousands of taels.
Zhu Zaiyuan didn't know that Yang Cong had given him such a big gift, he only knew that Yang Cong was so kind at this moment, and he looked many times more kind than his father, Emperor Jiajing.
He originally thought that no matter how much the master would hold up the shelf at the apprenticeship ceremony, he would pull his face and lecture him a few words.
Unexpectedly, the master was so kind, there was no frame at all, and his words were so warm and warm, straight to his heart.
He couldn't help but be moved: "The disciple must remember the teacher's teachings, be diligent and hard, and study hard." ”
Yang Cong still smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and said softly: "Well, get up, come, come and introduce you to a few senior brothers and other elders." ”
