Chapter 100: The Crane Mansion and the Fengchen Mansion
In the spring of the second year of Long Live Tongtian, Princess Taiping accompanied A-Niang to go to Pishan to play, and saw the peonies everywhere, which made everyone happy.
Wu Cao noticed that his daughter was followed by a sunny and handsome young man, so he asked him about his situation.
The princess attached herself to Wu Cao and whispered, "This handsome young boy is named Zhang Changzong, he is as flawless as jade, and he also has a body fragrance!" is really a rare beauty in the world, and her daughter specially brought him to dedicate to A-Niang! ”
Wu Cao showed a surprised expression, summoned Zhang Changzong over to take a closer look, felt very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Your name is Zhang Changzong?" Fair-skinned and beautiful, it is really a rare stunner in the world! ”
Wu Cao ordered Zhang Changzong to accompany him and travel around the mountain. When he returned, he ordered Zhang Changzong to take the jade chariot together, return to the palace together, and enter the Jiayu Palace.
Zhang Changzong is as bright as the sun and the moon, the decadent Tang Dynasty is like a jade mountain about to collapse, and the water is like a spring moon and willows, the more Wu Cao looks at it, the more he loves it, and he can't help but love it! The loneliness, loneliness and depression were swept away in an instant, and what was left was an eternally young heart!
Since then, Wu Cao has been full of energy and has devoted himself to the work of governing the country with a vigorous mental state! Lotus Rokuro sang and danced, played the piano and played Xiao, danced and wrote, and did his best to please the emperor.
Wu Cao gave Zhang Changzong a cart of copper coins and said to him, "Changzong, what do you think I am missing here?" Please help me buy them all! ”
Zhang Changzong replied: "In the Warring States Period, Meng Yanjun lacked righteousness, so Feng Tan bought righteousness for Meng Yanjun!" There is no shortage of saints, official powers, gold, silver, jewelry, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, so the ministers have no choice but to buy fun for the saints! ”
Wu Cao was overjoyed, took Zhang Changzong's hand to the Shanzhai Courtyard, lit the nine-pillar incense, inserted it in the incense burner in front of the statue, and knelt down to worship the Buddha and the eleven-faced Guanyin.
Wu Cao said with words in his mouth: "Thank you Amitabha Buddha, thank you for saving the suffering and saving the eleven-faced Guanyin!" Give the disciples an indescribable gift, so that the disciples can spend a happy and healthy old age! The disciple must love him, protect him, let him not do ridiculous things, and not let anyone bully him! ”
Facing a wife alone, although she is good at whitewashing, it is inevitable that she will leave the vicissitudes of the years on her skin, so Zhang Changzong feels empty and lonely, and she can't create a warm atmosphere!
So, Zhang Changzong reported: "The minister is waiting for His Majesty alone, it seems to be alone, not lively enough, and the song and dance performance needs to be cooperated by many people to show wonder." Brother Zhang Yizhi knows music and rhythm, can sing and dance, and is better than his ministers! And he will also refine the elixir of immortality, so he can serve His Majesty! ”
Wu Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately summoned Zhang Yizhi!
Zhang Changzong went to find the fifth brother and explained his intentions.
Zhang Yizhi was shocked: "What, let the foolish brother serve the wife?" Foolish brother doesn't go. It feels a little numb. Hey, it's already good that the virtuous brother can be the doorman of Princess Taiping, why should he serve the wife? ”
Zhang Changzong said: "Although it is good to serve Princess Taiping, there is no official position and title!" ”
Zhang Yizhi sighed: "Hey, there is no perfect thing in this world, but the virtuous brother must pursue perfection!" You must understand the truth that the moon is full and the moon is lost, and the extremes of things must be reversed! ”
Zhang Changzong took the fifth brother's hand and said, "Let's go, fifth brother, the sage has already made an order, and if you don't leave, you will not be able to afford to suffer!" Zhang Yizhi had no choice but to cheer up and follow the sixth brother to meet the saint.
Zhang Yizhi was diligent and sang a song "Song of the Ding" on the spot, and the singing was around the beam, and it was endless for three days!
Wu Cao applauded, and Zhang Changzong also applauded.
Since then, the two have served the palace together, Fu Fan Shi Zhu, wearing a splendid robe specially made by Shang Fangjian, serving banquets and performing sword dances, specially amusing Wu Cao!
Within ten days, Wu Cao appointed Zhang Changzong as the general of Yunlu, the general of the left Qianniu Zhonglang, from the three grades; Zhang Yizhi is Siwei Shaoqing, from the four products.
Wu Cao was not only happy, but also rewarded Erzhang with a mansion and a district, a splendid 500 sections, slaves and maids, camels and horses, and so on.
Erzhang, like other Beijing officials, entered the palace on the first and fifteenth days of each month to worship the female emperor.
The second Zhang's brother Zhang Changqi was promoted to the Bianzhou Assassin History, Zhang Tongxiu was appointed as the Sili Shaoqing, and Zhang Changyi was appointed as the Shangfang Shaojian.
Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Zong Chuke, Zong Jinqing and other high-ranking officials smelled the smell of Xue Shi back then, and waited in front of Erzhang's court, scrambling to carry the whip, smiling and calling Wulang and Liulang.
Wu Cao felt that it was still inconvenient to be summoned into the palace, so she set up the Crane Control Mansion in the Jixian Hall in Luoyang Palace, summoned the people she liked into the Crane Mansion, and offered them as guests!
Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi, Zuo Taichung Cheng Ji, Tian Guidao, Xia Guan's waiter Li Zhenxiu, Fengge Sheren Xue Ji, and Zhengzhi Doctor Half a thousand are enshrined in the Crane Mansion, and live in the Crane Mansion.
Soon, Wu Cao appointed Zhang Yizhi as the supervisor of the control of the crane, and set up official positions such as the control of the crane, the chief bookkeeper, and the palm of the solid, which were managed by Zhang Yizhi.
Why is it called Konhefu? Crane control means to ride a crane, because King Zhou Ling's crown prince Ji Jin once rode a white crane to appear on the top of the Wushi Mountain, and then ascended to heaven to become an immortal, so the crane is often used to express the emperor's near luck. The Crane Mansion is the place where the emperor provides for his guests.
The main task of the enshrinement in the Crane Mansion is to help the female emperor find all kinds of information, sing and dance, play various games to make the emperor happy, and mock the princess when holding a banquet to think that it is funny!
One day in the second year of the holy calendar, Wu Cao took Zhang Changzong to Chenghua Hall to play, fishing and appreciating lotus, so comfortable. Shangguan Wan'er also accompanied her.
At noon, Wu Cao went into the room to sleep. Zhang Changzong took Shangguan Wan'er's hand and ran outside to watch the lotus and water chestnuts in Jiuzhou Pond together.
Shangguan Wan'er is thirty-five years old, although she has been helping Wu Cao participate in the decision-making and take charge of the documents, but she has always been a five-grade talent, and she is an older leftover girl, which is really miserable!
Zhang Changzong is a generation younger than her, but he admires her talent and appearance, and as long as he sees that Wu Cao is gone, he will tease her.
Zhang Changzong pointed to the lotus flowers in the pond and the rocky spring stones on the shore, while stretching out his salty pig hand, and the two of them snuggled tightly together.
After a while, Shangguan Wan'er noticed something, her face turned red, and she struggled out and said, "Liulang, be respectful to Auntie, if everyone sees it, you must kill the two of us!" ”
Zhang Changzong said with a smile: "Wan'er, oh, Aunt Shangguan, don't worry, everyone's spirit is not as good as before, and you have to sleep for a long time." ”
Then he pointed to the pairs of red carp swimming in the pond and said, "Look, how happy they are!" Auntie, when will you take the time to play outside the palace, and let's also form a pair, okay? ”
Shangguan Wan'er blushed, nodded his head, and said, "Pig head, don't want to take advantage of Auntie!" Can't you just be serious? Zhang Changzong smiled: "Okay, good, just be serious." ”
The two of them snuggled together as they walked, and unconsciously returned to the door of Chenghua Palace.
It just so happened that at this time, Wu Cao came out, yawned, and suddenly saw Zhang Changzong and Shangguan Wan'er snuggling together and intimacy, and was immediately furious. When the two of them saw Wu Cao, their faces also changed, and they quickly separated.
Wu Cao angrily reprimanded Shangguan Wan'er: "If you dare to approach my confinement, you will be executed for your crimes." Shangguan Wan'er trembled with fright, bowed her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhang Changzong hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "The minister is a saint, it's not about Wan'er, it's the minister's poetry that is prosperous, and he insists on pulling her and the poem." It's all the minister's fault, please ask the saint to punish the minister! ”
Wu Cao snorted, helped Zhang Changzong up, and said to the guards: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. After speaking, he left with Zhang Changzong.
Poor Shangguan Wan'er was pulled out by the guards and wrote the word "resentment" on her left forehead.
To cover the scar, Shangguan Wan'er combed a curly bun that covered her left forehead, sometimes cutting gold leaf into plum blossoms and sticking it on her left forehead.
This style of dressing became popular in the palace and was called Shangguan bun and plum blossom makeup.
After Di Ren's outstanding tenure, he always looked down on the worship in the Gonghe Mansion, and he was shocked when he saw the word Gonghe, not to mention the names of the Gonghe Supervisor and the Gonghe Cheng.
Di Renjie wrote: "Erzhang is around Your Majesty, and it really has the reputation of tired Your Majesty, Your Majesty is determined to be a thousand years, and it is a pity to leave this stain!" ”
Wu Cao replied with a red pen: "The lord is rich all over the world, and there are thousands of concubines at every turn, since I have become the emperor, there are only a few people who are favored, so it is not enough to be strange, and there is no need to be taboo!" The curtain is not repaired, it is just a small detail, and knowing people is good at their duties, and the power is not shifted, which is the big festival of the British lord! ”
Having said that, Wu Cao still respected Di Renjie's opinion, and in June of the first year, he changed the control of Hefu to Fengchenfu, with Zhang Yizhi as Fengchen Order, and Zhang Changzong as Lintai Supervisor.
Recruit scholars Yan Chaoyin, Xue Ji, and half a thousand members to worship in Fengchen Mansion.
Fengchenfu, as the name suggests, is an institution that adopts guests who serve the emperor. The word Fengchen is a little more tactful and nice than the control crane, and it is easy to be accepted by the courtiers.
Song Zhiwen, a scholar of Chongwen Pavilion, heard that the newly established Fengchen Mansion was going to recruit internal worshippers, and he was also ready to move.
Song Zhiwen is the same age as Li Xian, with a majestic appearance, a dignified appearance, and can speak well, and his self-thinking is completely qualified, so he went to find two signs to apply. As a result, there was no news of the sea.
Song Zhiwen was puzzled and anxious, so he wrote a poem "Minghe Chapter" to show his heart, and the poem Yun:
Minghe is unamiable, and I am willing to take advantage of it. He also sent the Weaver Girl to the machine stone, and also visited the Chengdu Fortune Seller.
Right Shi Cui Rong often served by the emperor's side and helped him present the "Ming River Chapter" to test his tone.
As soon as Wu Cao looked at "Minghe Chapter", he understood the off-string sound of Song Zhiwen's question, and said to Cui Rong: "It's not that I don't know that Song Zhiwen's children's shoes are talented, but he has bad breath!" ”
Song Zhiwen was ashamed after learning the reason, and he was ashamed for life, and every time he went to the court to see Wu Cao in the future, he had to rinse his mouth repeatedly, and then put cloves in his mouth to cover up his taste.
His efforts were not in vain, and he was finally recruited to be enshrined in Zuo Fengchen and entered and exited Fengchen Mansion.
During the feasts and gatherings of the outer courts, the worshippers in the Fengchen Mansion often mocked the ministers and made everyone laugh. Wu Cao held a banquet in the inner hall, and the two Zhang and Zhu Wu sat down, played the game of Pupu, laughed at each other, and rewarded countless rewards.
Wu Cao misses his eldest son Li Hong, and envies the crown prince Ji Jin of King Zhou Ling, that is, Prince Qiao, and hopes that his son Li Hong can also play the flute and phoenix like Prince Qiao, and become an immortal!
Wu Sansi flattered and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the beauty of Liulang is beyond the reach of the world, and he must be the reincarnation of Prince Qiao!" ”
So, Wu Cao ordered the musicians to play music in the courtyard, dressed Zhang Changzong as the prince Qiao, put on a crane feather coat, played a flute, rode a wooden crane, and then hung him with a hemp rope to pull him into the air, dancing back and forth, floating around like a fairy, like a fairy! The scholars wrote poems in praise.
For the worship in Fengchen's mansion, Zhu Jing, who is on the right side, admonished: "The minister heard that he was not satisfied, and he was very happy. Lust is the same as foolishness, and the wise man can abstain from excess, this is the former holy maxim. His Majesty's internal favorites already have Xue Huaiyi, Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Changzong, which should be enough! ”
"Recently, I heard that Shangshe Fengyu Liumo said that his son Liu Liangbin was white and beautiful, and Shi Hou Xiangyun, the head of the left prison guard, said that he was more magnificent than Xue Huaiyi, and wanted to recommend himself as a worship in Fengchen Mansion. Rude and unceremonious, overflowing with the court. The ministers are foolish, and they dare not play! ”
Wu Cao instructed: "If you don't say it bluntly, I don't know this. "Reward Zhu Jing with a hundred pieces of colored silk.
In order to cover up the indecent reputation of worship in Fengchen Mansion, and at the same time implement the policy of simultaneous development of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Wu Cao ordered Zhang Changzong to preside over the compilation of the "Three Teachings Zhuying" in Fengchen Mansion.
Zhang Changzong successively summoned 26 people, including Li Qiao, Yan Chaoyin, Xu Yanbo, Xue Yao, Yuan Banqian, Wei Zhigu, Yu Jizi, Wang Wujing, Shen Jianqi, Wang Shi, Xu Jian, Yin Yuankai, Zhang Shuo, Ma Jifu, Yuan Xisheng, Li Chuzheng, Gao Bei, Liu Zhiji, Fang Yuanyang, Song Zhiwen, Cui Xiang, Chang Yuandan, Yang Qizhe, Fu Jiamo, and Jiang Feng.
During the period of repairing the book, the Zhuying scholars talked day and night, and wrote poems, forming the largest court poetry group at that time.
Cui Rong collected the poems of the Zhuying scholars and edited them into five volumes of "The Collection of Zhuying Scholars".
After the completion of the "Three Teachings of Zhuying", there are a total of 1,300 volumes, which contain the essence of the lectures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and use them to educate the world.
Zhang Changzong was awarded the title of servant because of his work as editor-in-chief, and he moved to the spring official and gave him the title of Duke of Ye. Zhang Yizhi was the supervisor of Lintai, and he was sealed by Hengguogong, and each of them sealed 300 households.
