The Imperial Palace, the queen of the palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few days, the prince's spirit in class has improved a lot, the emperor has rewarded him with martial arts novels again, and every day the bear child is immersed in the martial arts world woven by Shen Xi for him.
Even those that have been seen before, and then take them out and revisit them, the bear child still watches them with relish.
It was Jin Gui who taught the prince a lesson on this day, and after learning that Emperor Hongzhi had returned the martial arts novel to the prince, Jin Gui knew that his matter of sending books to the palace was exposed.
But the emperor didn't seem to have the intention of pursuing it, Jin Gui was frightened for a few days, and found that no one held him responsible, so he slowly put his mind at ease.
Zhu Houzhao reads books every day and is fascinated, Jin Gui's lectures are completely self-talking, just like playing the piano to a cow, if it is an ordinary school, Mr. would have gone up to grab the idle books and throw them aside, and took out the ring ruler to beat the palm of the bear child's hand red, so that he could learn a lesson.
But this is the emperor's family, Jin Gui has the heart or the guts, he just wants An An to be a good official and do what he should do, as for the prince's studies, it seems that it has nothing to do with him.
After the afternoon class, Jin Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
When it comes to school again, he only needs to go back to Zhan Shifu to make a record and go home to accompany his wife and children, or find a few books to taste, Jin Gui reads all orthodox academic works, and these days he is also going to meet a few old friends who came to Beijing from his hometown Dantu to study.
These people used to run around with Jin Gui for the meeting, but he was lucky, Hongzhi won the flower in three years, and now these people are as young as him, and they are still struggling on the road to the imperial examination.
"Mr. Jin?"
Jin Gui was about to pack up the case and go back to Zhan Shifu, but saw Zhu Houzhao come over to greet him unusually.
Sometimes it's funny to think about it, Mr. has no verbal communication with students in class, and he will only say a few words after class, and as a gentleman, Jin Gui also has to salute the students and ask respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, is there something?" ”
Zhu Houzhao grinned, his smile was a little thief.
Jin Gui has served as a Zhongyun official in the East Palace for many years, and the prince almost grew up watching him, this bear child looks like a young man, but the cunning appearance when he laughs is exactly the same as when he was a child.
Zhu Houzhao asked, "Sir, I heard that Mr. Shen is about to ...... from the southeast It's back, right? ”
Jin Gui originally thought that the prince was here to ask for teaching, and he was ready to behave well, but when he knew that the prince was asking Shen Xi, although he had no intention of being jealous, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
is also a lecturer in the East Palace, Jin Gui asked himself if he was no worse than Shen Xi, but unfortunately in the prince's mind, there was no comparison between him and Shen Xi, he communicated with the prince several times, and what he said was Shen Xi's affairs, which made him feel very angry.
"Minister, I haven't heard of it."
Jin Gui didn't think about deception, he really hadn't heard of Shen Xi's news.
I only vaguely heard that Shen Xi had made meritorious contributions to the bandits in Guangdong at the end of the first year, and he was likely to be promoted to a knighthood, and he was extremely envious, and even his wife quoted Shen Xi's example and proposed that if he was too idle in Beijing, he could apply for an external transfer...... It is better to be a county magistrate, prefect, and commander-in-chief in the local area than to look up to people in the East Palace, and to suffer from the prince's idleness.
Jin Gui and his wife have shared hardships and have a very good relationship, so there are things to discuss, and his wife is sincerely thinking about him, so he is not harsh, but in the minds of scholars, it is a great honor to be able to stay in the capital as a Beijing official, especially in Hanyuan, and also serve as a lecturer in the East Palace and a Japanese speaker, which is a great honor, and he will never "be willing to fall" to perform his duties in the local area.
Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Haven't you heard?" I remember Mr. Jin, you have a very good relationship with Mr. Shen, and you helped him deliver delicious and fun things to me before...... Uh, so be it, I have a couple of letters for him, can you help send them out? Hehe, you also know that I am in the palace and I can't meet with people outside......"
When Zhu Houzhao asks for help, he usually doesn't put on the prince's shelf, he is polite, he talks and laughs, just like a good student, but Jin Gui knows how unscrupulous this kid is when he messes around, and no one in the East Palace has not been teased by this bear child except him.
And Jin Gui is not teased, the reason is very simple, because he is Shen Xi's replacement, he usually helps Shen Xi send fun things into the palace, Zhu Houzhao will not clash with him head-on even if he sleeps in class or wanders outside the world, and occasionally asks a few historical questions, when he explains clearly, Zhu Houzhao is usually silent, and then continues to wander.
Jin Gui knew that the history he talked about was not as vivid and interesting as Shen Xi, and as a Zhongyun official, he had heard Shen Xi talk about "The Twenty-first History" many times, Shen Xi talked about popular history, and what he talked about was basically according to the book.
Jin Guizheng was in a trance, and Zhu Houzhao had already handed over the three letters.
Jin Gui took it in his hand and realized that this was a hot potato, thinking that the prince had caused the entire palace to be uneasy because of the fact that he was going to leave the palace, Jin Gui was stunned from the bottom of his heart...... I don't know what is written in these letters, if the prince has the idea of leaving the palace again, and he doesn't report it, he can't explain it to the court.
"Mr. Jin, please, when I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely reuse you, thank you for your great kindness today!" After speaking, Zhu Houzhao gave Jin Gui a gesture, Jin Gui felt that he couldn't stand it and was about to return the gift, but Zhu Houzhao had already run away and didn't give him a chance to refuse.
Jin Gui took the letter with a cloudy expression, and muttered: "How is this good?" ”
……
……
Back at home, Jin Gui was restless, the prince asked him to send a letter, he didn't dare to open the letter casually, but he couldn't just send it out, as for sending it to the palace and handing it over to Emperor Hongzhi, he was afraid that the prince would blame him, and he was afraid that the emperor would investigate it.
Why doesn't the prince give it to others, but give it to you, what is your relationship with Shen Xi? Shen Xi teaches the prince not to do his job, you are also an accomplice!
Just when Jin Gui was restless, his mother Fan Shi walked into the main hall with the support of the maid, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and help him.
Jin Gui is a filial son or the only son in the family.
When Mrs. Fan gave birth to Jin Gui, she was thirty-five years old, and Jin Gui's father was over fifty years old. There is also an allusion to this, Jin Gui's mother saw that her husband had no heirs for a long time before giving birth to him, so she placed Concubine Teng for her husband, who knew that her husband did not allow it, and sent Concubine Teng back to her hometown, but it didn't take long for Mrs. Fan to give birth to Jin Gui while she was pregnant with Liujia, so Jin Gui was like a treasure by her parents since she was a child, and she never treated him harshly in terms of food, clothing and education.
Jin Gui is nearly 40 years old, and Mrs. Fan is 75 years old and has difficulty moving, even if Jin Gui does not have a lot of money in Zhan Shifu, he still tries to buy multiple maids for the family to take care of his mother.
"My son, what is on your mind? Let's talk about it with my mother. ”
Mrs. Fan knows her son's temperament very well, her son is the kind of person who can't hide things, he is happy and angry, even if he is not confused, he is still like a child in the eyes of Mrs. Fan.
Jin Gui was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to deceive his mother, so he told the prince about letting him send the letter.
Thinking of some of the things that Jin Gui had mentioned before, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but sigh faintly, and muttered for a while before saying, "Wu'er doesn't have to be too worried, didn't you go to see Xie Gebu before?" Xie Gebu is Shen Shuzi's grandfather, when you see him, tell him about this matter, and it will be decided by Xie Gebu, and this matter has nothing to do with you! ”
It's not that Jin Gui didn't want to go over to find Xie Qian, it's just that he went to Xie Qian again and again, and even he felt guilty, because even if Xie Qian helped, it wasn't that he was very important to him, just to help Shen Xi, as a speaker in the East Palace, he always asked for help when he encountered something, and he was unwilling.
But when his mother spoke, Jin Gui would go even if he didn't want to, which was not only a respect for his mother, but also the only solution he could think of at present.
It was not easy to see Xie Qian in the past, and at this time, it was necessary to "make an appointment" to see Xie Qian, the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and could not decide on affairs, so the cabinet and the celebrant temporarily took the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, and at this time Liu Jian in the cabinet did not care about anything, Li Dongyang was half a person, Xie Qian was the one who provoked the beam, and he was very busy every day.
Jin Gui guessed that Xie Qian should be in Wenyuan Pavilion at this time, but after entering the palace and inquiring, he learned that Xie Qian happened to return home that day and would not return to Wenyuan Pavilion until the next morning.
"Jin Yude, Xie Ge Lao has been busy with affairs recently, and it is rare to go back to his house to reunite with his family, if you have something, please come back tomorrow, don't go to his house to disturb!"
The deacon and eunuch of Wenyuan Pavilion reminded Jin Gui not to have anything to do.
Now the whole court knows that Xie Qian has a heavy burden, and it is precisely because Xie Qian is indispensable that even the emperor has to change his original intention for Xie Qian.
Jin Gui was anxious at this time, the prince's affairs were very important, where could he wait for the coming day? Even though he knew that it would be abrupt to disturb him, he still cleaned up his mood and asked the groom to drive to Xie Qian's mansion after leaving the palace.
When he arrived at the door of Xie Qian's mansion, Jin Gui was a little embarrassed, everyone knew that Xie Qian's mansion door was not easy to enter, and no one might answer when he went up to knock on the door, but now he can only bite the bullet.
knocked on the door, and the acquaintance came out to see Jin Gui, and found that Jin Gui was one of the few people who visited Xie Qian's mansion and was received.
Jin Gui explained his intention in the future, and Zhike did not dare to slack off, after all, it involved his own in-laws, the master of the Shen Mansion, so he hurried in to pass in.
Jin Gui waited under the porch, and it didn't take long for Xie Qian to come out without even changing his shoes, dragging his cloth shoes, and there was no trace of the majesty of the old pavilion who was calling for wind and rain in the court.
"See the Cabinet!" Jin Gui hurriedly saluted.
Xie Qian waved his hand as if welcoming his family: "Why did you come to my house with so many courtesies?" You said the prince asked you to send a letter to Shen Xi? What letter, bring it...... Let's go to the study and talk! ”
Xie Qian doesn't care about 3721, and the prince's letter is correct.
Jin Gui followed behind Xie Qian, only to see Xie Qian open the letter while walking, only to read one, and then scolded: "Nonsense, nonsense!" With such a tone, where is the courtesy of a monarch and a minister? Presumptuous, really presumptuous! ”
Jin Gui didn't understand, was it the prince who was presumptuous, or Shen Xi who was presumptuous? Or both? (To be continued.) )
