Chapter 108: New Class of Students
Yun Xi got up from the bed slightly, and after helping Xi Yao tidy up the quilt, he began to dress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he got dressed and rattled the bell, the palace maids led by the waiter walked in and came in to clean up the house. The wine that Xi Yao used to strengthen her courage and the wine glasses used to drink last night were still on the table, and Xi Yao's clothes Yun Xi was also thrown around, and then piled up together. Although Yoon-hee still insists on dressing herself, it has long been impossible to clean up the house by herself.
Yun Xi came to Dongnuan Pavilion, and sure enough, Lian Zining was here. He saw Yun Xi coming over and said, "Has Your Highness ever had breakfast?" If you haven't used it, let the ministers dine with His Highness. ”
Yun Xi scolded with a smile: "Come to my Wenhua Hall to eat again, do you see when Qi Tai had breakfast with me one day?" ”
Lian Zining said with a smile: "Qi Tai is a wife and children in the capital, and his wife cooks every day; I'm alone in Beijing, and I share a mansion with others, how can I have breakfast anywhere else? ”
Yun Xi laughed with him again, and came to the 'restaurant' designated by Yun Xi to eat together.
Yun Xi asked while eating: "Lian Qing, I haven't had much time to take care of the affairs over there since March this year, how is the situation on the Wutang side now?" Is there any trouble? How does it compare to the previous cohort's students? ”
Lian Zining picked up a pill and swallowed it in his stomach, and then said, "Nothing happened in the martial arts hall. Although His Highness doesn't have much time to take care of the Martial Arts Hall, who among the students doesn't know His Highness's methods? Who dares to make trouble? ”
Yun Xi said: "Then I will be relieved." He took another sip of soup and asked, "Then who do you think is more capable among the students in this class?" ”
Lian Zining also took a sip of soup, and then said: "Back to His Royal Highness, there is a student named Li Ding, who is only eighteen years old this year, from the acting king Youwei, and is very outstanding. As for the others, the minister has not yet discovered. ”
Yun Xi said, "Is there only one person?" ”
Lian Zining drank all the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a hand towel, put down the hand towel, tidied up his clothes, and said to Yun Xi: "Your Highness, the students of the previous class have already included the outstanding children of the army from all over the country, and this year's class is just another newcomer who was not yet sixteen years old when he enrolled three years ago, and it is not as good as the previous class of outstanding children from all over the country for several years, and it is good to have one person so outstanding." ”
And the minister also felt that it would be better to wait for the previous graduation in the future and then recruit the next one. The minister knew His Highness's thoughts, and he wanted more outstanding talents from ordinary soldiers' families to come to the martial arts hall; But it's too hard. ”
"This year, there are more students from the martial arts hall than in the previous year, but there are no people who can reach the level of Guo Wei and them. Most of the people from the Bingding family have never read books, and those who have come to the martial arts hall have all read books, but they are not outstanding. ”
"What's more, the officers from all over the country would rather send their sons who are not very good than choose those ordinary soldiers. Now that His Royal Highness is taking care of them, they don't dare to send their own children who are not successful, but the local selection of students is selected by the commanders and envoys, and we don't know if there are better students anywhere. You can't inspect one guard post at a time. ”
Yun Xi listened to Lian Zining's words and knew that what he said made sense. Although Yun Xi has not been in the martial arts hall for many days these days, he has also continued to learn about this group of students in the martial arts hall through various channels.
It is not easy for ordinary soldier families to come up with talents. Although they all do not have to pay taxes for farming, and now they have no rent, they always have to go out to fight, and when they fight, they delay farming, and their lives are similar to ordinary homesteaders, and they cannot afford to support their children's studies; And if you haven't even read a book, how can even the most intelligent person be discovered?
And during the Hongwu period, the status of literati was not high, the mortality rate of civil officials was still higher than that of military generals, and most of the soldiers were reluctant to let their children study, preferring to use money to buy good weapons and armor; Although Yun Xi did not say it explicitly, literacy is regarded as a prerequisite for entering the martial arts hall in various places, so most of the people in the Bingding family are not qualified.
In addition, how could the military generals from all over the country be so selfless as not to send their children to the martial arts hall? Unless it is a person who is particularly famous in the local area, it is possible to enter the martial arts hall.
For the sake of fairness, it is not uncommon for no one to propose the introduction of exams. But Yun Xi thinks that the recommendation system is actually better than the exam as long as he is well checked when he enters the school, and severely punishes those who dare to send crooked melons and cracked dates; It's really going to be an exam, and they can blatantly send crooked melons and cracked dates.
So Yun Xi said: "Then it's better to wait for the graduation of the previous class and recruit the next one, as long as the future students can reach the level of this class." ”
After eating, the two came to the palace where Yunxi of Dongnuan Pavilion deals with political affairs every day. Qi Tai has arrived, and he is writing a brief introduction to the excerpts sent by the Qianqing Palace. When Lian Zining met him, he couldn't help but laugh a few words before starting to work.
Yun Xi is equivalent to working for himself, not for others, so he is very serious when he works. It didn't take long to feel like it was noon.
Yun Xi didn't talk to Qi Tai and them at noon today, but went back to Wenyuan Pavilion. Last night, Xi Yao first received rain and dew, and he thought it would be better to care more about Xi Yao.
Qi Tai and the others, including Chen Xingshan, did not say anything about Yun Xi's action of 'valuing sex and ignoring friends'.
Yun Xi is the grandson of the emperor, but he has no children yet. Whether Yun Xi has descendants or not is a major matter related to the future and fate of the entire Ming Dynasty, so no one has a reason to stop Yun Xi from seeing his wife, and even has to encourage this kind of behavior.
Yun Xi returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Xi Yao was asking the palace maids to set the meal. Since Xi Yao entered the palace, there were palace maids in Wenhua Hall again, which made Yun Xi very happy, although he has not found a palace maid who is particularly beautiful and wants to start, but he is not used to being served by a group of eunuchs all day long.
Xi Yao was very surprised when she saw Yun Xi walk into the dormitory, she thought that Yun Xi would have dinner with her subordinates.
Xi Yao immediately stood up and bent down to salute and said, "The concubine greets His Highness." ”
Yun Xi walked up and helped her up and said, "You don't have to salute me, we are husband and wife, you are the concubine of Taisun Zheng, the mistress of Wenhua Palace, you must have your own majesty." ”
Yunxi is telling the truth. Yun Xi has always felt that the ancient Chinese court struggle is not good for the country, and it just so happens that Lao Zhu has re-established the inheritance law of the eldest son, and he is the prince as the son-in-law, he is not dissatisfied with Xiyao, and intends to continue the inheritance law of the eldest son. In this way, it is very important to have a wife who has the authority to manage the harem well, even if some of his other concubines are treated unfairly.
At least that's what he thinks now.
Xi Yao felt Yun Xi's sincerity, and her expression was much more relaxed. Yun Xi sat down, let Xi Yao sit beside him, and said, "I heard that you got up late this morning and didn't have breakfast, so you can eat a little more at noon." ”
Xi Yao's face turned red when she heard this. They didn't go to bed until late last night, Yun Xi got up early, and Xi Yao got up late until he was lazy.
Then Yun Xi and Xi Yao had lunch together, rested for a while, and then went to Dongnuan Pavilion to deal with things.
When the evening was accompanied, Yun Xi returned to the Wenhua Hall after dealing with the matter, and had dinner with Xi Yao, and the husband and wife naturally had another big battle.
The next morning it was the same process. At noon, when Yun Xi returned to Wenyuan Pavilion to have dinner with Xi Yao, Xi Yao said: "Your Highness, tomorrow the concubine's sister will enter the palace, which palace does Your Highness plan to place the concubine's sister in?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Wang Bu was prepared before you attacked, that is, the side hall on the right hand side when you entered from the main entrance, and it was only a few dozen steps to get here. ”
Xi Yao said: "The concubine hasn't been to which side hall yet, and I don't know how it is arranged, the concubine wants to personally decorate my sister's palace, please ask Your Highness for permission." ”
Yun Xi said: "Then why not? Then he cried out, "Joy to the king! ”
Wang Xi hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's the matter with Your Highness?" ”
Yun Xi said: "You go and ask Wang Gong to bring a dozen eunuchs to the door of the side hall prepared for the side concubines to wait, and then Yao'er will personally guide them to arrange it." Wang Xi took the order and left.
Xi Yao said: "Thank Your Highness for your grace. ”
Yoon-hee waved her hand, signaling her not to always thank her, and then continued to eat.
In the afternoon, when Yunxi left, Xiyao came to the side hall. Yun Xi didn't see through Xi Yao's thoughts at noon.
Although Xi Yao does care about her sister, there is another reason for doing so is the management of the palace affairs of the Wenhua Palace. Yun Xi never said that he would hand over the right to be in charge of the palace affairs of the Wenhua Palace to Xi Yao, Xi Yao didn't know what it was (in fact, Yun Xi forgot), and he didn't dare to ask, so he used this method to test Yun Xi.
Yun Xi handled things normally in the afternoon. In the evening, I was about to go back to the palace, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't been to the dining room for several days, so I turned around and went to the dining room.
Yun Xi didn't go to cook, if he dared to cook himself, it was estimated that the chef of Wenhua Hall would be beheaded by Lao Zhu. He went to check the hygiene.
In Yun Xi's view, he is the most exquisite chef of this era, and his hygiene level is at most similar to that of the street stalls in later generations, Yun Xi was disgusted when he first came to the dining room, and immediately found someone to do the hygiene, and formulated strict hygiene standards, and checked himself or let others come from time to time to prevent anyone from not complying.
Yun Xi glanced through the window outside the kitchen a few times, thought it was okay, and hurriedly walked back.
Yun Xi wanted to go back to the dormitory directly, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wang Jin halfway.
Yun Xi saw Wang Jin's face and thought that something was wrong, so he withdrew the eunuchs who followed him and entered a side hall with Wang. Now Yunxi only has one concubine, there will be a side concubine, and there are no children, so there are many idle palaces in the Wenhua Palace.
