Chapter 501: An Unobtrusive Errand (Part 1)
It wasn't until the end of noon that Jin Gui and Shen Xi officially started work and headed to the Fang Palace, both of them were cautious along the way, so as not to disturb the peace of the palace.
Arriving outside the Zhufang Palace, a little eunuch inspected the books and four treasures of the study room brought by the two, and then led the way and took the two to arrive outside the Caifang Palace, only to be told that the prince had not woken up from a nap.
If it is the children of ordinary people, it is rare to take a nap, because it will make them unable to sleep at night.
In the eyes of ordinary parents, if they don't sleep at night, they have to take a nap at noon, which is simply a waste of time! But after all, this is the East Palace, and the nightlife may be rich in the evening...... But Shen Xi really couldn't figure out what an eight-year-old child could do if he didn't sleep in the first half of the night?
After waiting for half an hour, the prince finally woke up and heard a relatively sharp child's voice from the wide hall: "Where is my sword?" ”
"Prince, prince, here, your sword to slay demons." A relatively old but somewhat hoarse voice came, "Prince, hurry up and go to study, the Japanese speaker is already waiting outside the palace." ”
The sharp children's voice was a little impatient: "Wait, look at the mood of the main palace." ”
As he spoke, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and a half-grown boy ran out of the main hall of the Chufang Hall with a wooden "sword", followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.
But said that this child, handsome facial features, fair skin, wearing an apricot yellow python robe, because the emperor's precedent of giving ministers python robes began in the last years of Hongzhi, and now the python robe is still a royal patent.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, behead the demons in this palace, cut the little ghosts down, whoever stands in the way, I will cut whom!"
A typical bear child, not tall, has not yet reached Shen Xi's shoulders, but his steps are very light, it seems that he is running around in the palace all day long, his hair is tied up and wrapped with a yellow headband, which shows that the prince has gone out of the pavilion to study, a pair of eyes are bright, full of energy when shouting, and he is alive and well, where is there a little unbearable appearance of dying from a serious illness?
Shen Xi looked at it from a distance, this Zhu Houzhao has been a handsome guy since he was a child, but he is a little naughty, if he is placed in the school in a few hundred years, he will definitely be the most stubborn type in the class, and he will be the most easily disgusted by girls. But a few years older, the situation will be diametrically opposite, destined to be the object of admiration and pursuit by girls.
As soon as the prince went out, a bunch of entourages followed, and after the prince was bitten by a snake and rat and almost died, the prince's entourage swelled rapidly, and the number of retinues responsible for serving the prince every day increased from a dozen to more than thirty people.
However, there was still a middle-aged eunuch shouting from behind: "Slow down, be careful of hurting ......"
Shen Xi picked up the pen and was about to record: "The prince is not good at learning, the attendants have no way to persuade him, and the officials are slack in their duties...... but they are stopped by Jin Gui.
Jin Gui didn't say anything, but waved his hand, meaning that he was idle and unreasonable.
Shen Xi had no choice but to put down the pen and continue to read, but at this time the prince had already run into the distance, as Zhongyun, Shen Xi and Jin Gui needed to keep up, at this time a little eunuch trotted all the way to Jin Gui, and saluted Jin Gui, but said that this little eunuch was only twelve or thirteen years old, his face was white, similar to Shen Xi's age, and his attitude was respectful: "I have seen Jin Zhongyun." ”
Jin Gui nodded, handed over the four treasures of the study to the little eunuch, and introduced it to Shen Xi by the way: "This is a little twister, he will help you and me carry things in the East Palace, if you have any trouble, just look for him." Xiao Twister, I have seen Shen Zhongyun, he is the newly appointed Right Chunfang Right Zhongyun, you are new to the city, you have to take care of it a little more! “
Shen Xi saluted the little eunuch, the little eunuch's face was a little flustered, and he said while returning the salute: "Don't dare to be, Shen Zhongyun is this year's new champion, right?" The villain listens to your name a lot, and the villain can help Zhongyun master polish the pen and ink, which is the blessing of the villain. ”
This little twister has no status in the East Palace at first glance, he is not qualified to serve the prince, just a eunuch who helps the living recorder to take things, grind ink, and serve tea and water. However, since he is a eunuch in the East Palace, he belongs to the people close to the prince and belongs to the ministers, so Shen Xi and Jin Gui have to be polite after seeing them.
In addition to leaving the blank books and pens for recording, Shen Xi also handed other things to Xiao Xuanzi.
At this moment, the middle-aged eunuch with the hoarse voice came over from the side of the Fang Hall and beckoned to the little twister: "I don't have the strength to see it, hurry up and hand the two adults tea." ”
After speaking, he saluted Shen Xi and Jin Gui from afar, but he didn't come over, but went to the palace and recruited a few palace maids to come out, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard on the side of the Fang Palace.
"This is Gonggong Liu, in the East Palace, you and I can't afford to mess with the person the most, you don't have to pay attention to it on weekdays, what he does is different from what you and I are responsible for, usually everyone can get by on the face, it's best not to have mustard......" Jin Gui reminded with palpitations.
Shen Xi thought to himself, is this the great eunuch Liu Jin?
To say that this is the best eunuch in the past dynasties, it seems that he is very polite, but Shen Xi knows that this person is vicious, and now he is kind because he is not in power, but he has relied on the favor of the queen and the prince to do things that make the ministers jealous, and now he offends him, how can he not be retaliated against in the future?
Xiao Twister didn't even put down the four treasures of the study he was holding, and hurriedly went inside to get tea for the left and right Zhongyun, Shen Xi hurriedly greeted: "Don't be so troublesome." ”
Before the words fell, Shen Xi was pulled by Jin Gui again, and Jin Gui whispered: "Let him go, run errands in the East Palace, and it is better to talk less." What others say, we should do. ”
Shen Xi secretly pondered to himself, listening to Jin Gui's meaning, although they are civil servants with official positions, they are actually no different from those eunuchs and palace maids who accompany the prince to run, the only difference is that they can go home after work, and they don't have to be locked in the glossy cage of the East Palace.
When Shen Xi and Jin Gui arrived in the side courtyard, the prince was "slaying demons" there, holding his wooden sword and stabbing at the palace maids standing in a row.
The eunuch with the voice of a male duck next to him clapped his hands there: "The prince is well chopped!" ”
The little prince is immersed in this kind of fun of using others as monkeys, perhaps children like this kind of game similar to playing house, and as the master of the East Palace, the prince completely occupies the initiative of this "game", and now he is just using the wooden sword to compare, if he changes to a real sword to stab, hurt people, kill people and no one will ask him for his crime.
"Do you want to record this?"
Shen Xi asked Jin Gui, but he knew that it was useless to ask, and it stands to reason that the prince's daily life should be recorded in detail, but Zhu Youzhi and his wife have great expectations for the prince, so that the people below are used to reporting good news and not bad news.
Jin Gui shook his head slightly: "Even if you remember it, the queen will not take it seriously, but will reprimand you and me." In addition to learning, ...... Idle Morley. ”
While talking, Xiao Twister brought the tea, and Shen Xi and Jin Gui each had a cup.
Jin Gui yawned, put down the pen and book, and concentrated on tasting his cup of tea, his leisurely appearance didn't seem to be running an errand at all.
Shen Xi looked a little embarrassed, looking at the bear child who was still chopping everywhere with a wooden sword in the distance, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart...... This errand is really boring!
In the direction of the apse of the Fang Palace, Wang Hua and a lecturer came with books, obviously unable to wait for the prince to come over to study, so he had to come over to check in person.
Liu Jin hurriedly ran over to explain to Wang Hua, Wang Hua shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything, just stood in the direction of the apse and waited.
Shen Xi thought to himself, Mr. can't control the students, but lets the students mess around, this is the so-called teaching and educating people? At this time, shouldn't a responsible gentleman go up and persuade the prince bitterly, even if he is asked by the emperor?
Jin Gui said: "After the prince came out of the cabinet, he did this almost every day, I really don't know when the prince will be diligent and studious!" ”
Shen Xi smiled, but he was turning the brush in his hand, he was in charge of recording the prince's daily life, but he was told that the rule was that he could only record the prince's reading process, but now the prince was playing there and didn't read books, which meant that he could be at ease and sit next to watch the excitement.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the prince's time for reading was almost over, and Wang Hua and the lecturer over there couldn't stay up and go back to the apse to rest, Jin Gui sighed and said, "It seems that the prince doesn't have to study today!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and began to record.
Shen Xi thought to himself: "It's not that you can't record the bad things about the prince, you can only record how to read?" Now that the prince hasn't even touched a book, do you dare to record the prince's abandonment of his studies for an afternoon? ”
However, I saw that Jin Guixu recorded in a matter-of-fact manner that the prince studied a certain passage in the "University Chapters and Sentences" on a certain day and a certain time in a certain month, and memorized it to check with the Japanese lecturer, and was diligent and studious.
After Shen Xi saw it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Jin Zhongyun, what is this for?" ”
"Is it true that the prince does nothing to write it? Rest assured, this paragraph was memorized by the prince the day before yesterday, as long as it is recorded truthfully, His Majesty said that it was a re-examination of the book when he checked it, even if he asked the Japanese speaker, he said so. Jin Gui recorded it, closed the book, and glanced at Shen Xi, "You can also record it like this." ”
Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
What is this, joining hands to deceive the emperor just to earn so much money?
If the emperor really investigates it, what if he knows that the people below are cheating?
This is a crime of deception!
Jin Gui was like a roundworm in Shen Xi's stomach, seeing that Shen Xi didn't write, he persuaded him: "Don't worry, it's all written like this before, Your Majesty won't blame you even if you know, Your Majesty loves the prince very much, who calls the imperial heir thin?" It's a pity that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have played many times, asking Your Majesty to recruit more concubines and concubines to leave more imperial heirs, but Your Majesty has always not listened. ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, did Emperor Hongzhi not accept the concubine because he was too diligent in government? That's because he had too much shadow of the palace fight between the harem concubines in his childhood, and he had a phobia of women, and he was already content with a queen who could be single-minded with him.
Besides, Emperor Hongzhi's body is very weak, he is sick all the year round, and he belongs to the kind of heartless and powerless, otherwise why would he die in his thirties?
Shen Xi made a record according to what Jin Gui had just recorded.
At the age of the prince, he is now reciting the "University Chapters", which shows that the emperor has high expectations for the prince. When Shen Xi finishes recording, it is not too early, Shen Xi and Jin Gui's business for one day will be completed, and the next day's work will be taken over by two other or so Zhongyun, and they can take a day off.
