Chapter 252: The Shortcut (continued)
In the backyard of Xiyang Palace, Yuwen Weihan was excitedly telling Yang Lihua about his experience, as a concubine, he could only call his mother-in-law "A-Niang", and his biological mother was "Auntie".
This is etiquette, even if Yuwen Weihan grows up and knows what is going on, in public, he can still only recognize his mother-in-law as his mother.
So his maternal ancestor is Chi Shun, the Duke of the State of Yin, not Yang Jian, who has passed away, of course, it is impossible for Yang Lihua to tell his son about this, after all, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, once the news leaks, it will be a disaster to kill the head.
Yang Lihua and Yuwenwen are purely outside together, if there is no such relationship, after the Zhou army invades Chang'an again, she, as the former empress dowager of Zhou and the princess of Sui, will not be able to escape, and she will not have the opportunity to seek a chance to survive for her younger brother Yang Guang.
Yuwen Weihan is eight years old this year, if he is nine years old according to his imaginary age, he has not experienced any big scenes, and he talks about Fang Cai's experience, which makes people confused.
What "there are a lot of people, wearing red and green", "many people are holding a lot of wooden sticks, and there are shovels, forks and gourds on the top of the sticks", anyway, from the perspective of children, Yuwen Weihan thinks that the scene of "receiving paper" is very interesting.
The "leftover paper", with a lot of lines on the cover, was very beautiful, and Yuwen Weihan pondered waiting for Aya to come back and begged Ajana to play with it.
"That thing can't be played."
"Oh... So when will Aya come back? And what about A-Niang? What about the Thorny? ”
"It's coming soon, I'll be back after the New Year at the latest."
Yang Lihua stroked her son's head and said, although her son is young, he babbled a lot of experiences, which made people a little confused, but it was not easy to finish the matter from beginning to end.
The little boy of eight or nine years old suddenly reminded her of her concubine Yu Wenxian and remembered the past, when she was still the Empress of Tianyuan, and her parents and brothers were still alive.
The past is gone, as the eldest daughter of the Yang family, she has done her best to keep her father's bloodline, her daughter has also been married, her husband's family is Jingzhao Wei, and the next thing is to raise her children and raise her younger brother's son to adulthood.
Yuwen Weihan was talking, the younger brothers and sisters on the side were pulling him to play, Yang Lihua asked Liu Ye to take the little ones out to play, and she talked to Xiao Jiuniang who was sitting on the side.
Today, an angel came to the palace to announce the edict, Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang, as side chambers, are not foreign women without an edict, so they are not qualified to bow to the holy decree, which is a good thing, because once she appears, I am afraid that she will be recognized, and then it will be troublesome.
According to Li Sanjiu's report, among the officials who accompanied the angels to the palace, there was Xiaozuogong Boyu Culture, Yang Lihua remembered this person, of course, it was nearly ten years ago.
She was still the queen and queen mother at the time, and she had seen Yu Wenhua, who had entered the palace, and her younger brother Yu Wenzhihe, who was in the lobby of the Qiuguan Mansion and Yu Wenwen, she was also present to listen to the lawsuit, and she also brushed her sleeves away.
Yu Wenhua doesn't remember her, I don't know, but in any case, Yang Lihua must fade out of the sight of others as much as possible, and without a command, she has become the best talisman.
Unless Yuwenwen asks her to come out to meet people, Yang Lihua only needs to nest in the backyard, and outsiders can't see her true face, of course, Xiao Jiuniang doesn't know Yang Lihua's life experience.
Secrets, the fewer people know, the lower the likelihood of leaks.
Xiao Jiuniang and Yang Lihua were talking about the holy decree at this time, and they had already learned that the husband was asking the Son of Heaven for his guilt in the hanging gourd, such as today's special edict to forgive the sins of the princess and the prince, so that the hearts of the people in the house will be decided.
The prince was actually proclaimed emperor, which was something that no one in the palace expected, and the current situation, the prince is a pseudo-emperor, and the princess has become a rebellious person, if there is no official statement, everyone does not know what to do.
Now it's okay, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to pardon the sins of great rebellion, the princess is still the princess, the prince is still the son, everything is as usual, and they are not afraid of others chewing their tongues, and Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang have no other thoughts that they should have.
As concubines, even if the main wife is divorced, it will not be their turn to take the position, because the concubine can never be "turned positive", and no matter how much the husband loves them, he can only marry another media.
There have been such big changes in the mansion, and the king and princess are not there, so Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang have taken on the heavy responsibility, not only to manage the industry and internal affairs, but also to take care of the little ones, and the burden on their shoulders is very heavy, so they often discuss how to maintain the normal operation of the palace.
Now that the Son of Heaven is in Xiyang, there are many people in his entourage, in order to avoid complications, Yang Lihua decided not to leave the house, and Xiao Jiuniang also tried to avoid going out less, so as not to have anything to do.
Yuwenwen is not in Xiyang, but there is Yuwenming, no one dares to bully the people of Xiyang Palace, but more is better than less, they are women with outstanding appearances, and they can't give people with ulterior motives a chance, so as not to be rumored and splashed with sewage by villains to achieve ulterior motives.
And Yu Wenwen is now trapped in the hanging gourd, I don't know how safe it is, the two of them are worried about it, and now it is approaching the end of the year, not to mention many things, various industries in the house have to be reconciled, and they have to be responsible for checking.
The housekeeper Li Sanjiu took the stewards into the room to listen to the instructions, Yang Lihua took out a thick stack of paper and began to arrange various matters with Xiao Jiuniang.
"The end of the year is approaching, the affairs are complicated, but no matter how busy you are, you must follow the rules and regulations, don't think about taking shortcuts, if I find that anyone is fooled, I will be severely punished!"
。。。。。。
State school, the lecture hall is as crowded as in the past, but the atmosphere is much more serious, today the Son of Heaven came to the state school, here to listen to the lecture of Confucianism, by the way to meet all the people who are full of learning and young students.
This is an extremely rare opportunity, and everyone dare not be rude.
Thanks to the "Er Liu" and other famous scholars and Confucians gathered in Xiyang, and the large number of publications of "Xiyang Monthly", the reputation of Huangzhou Prefecture has become more and more famous, attracting more and more scholars and students.
The scale of the state school has expanded a lot, and the school buildings and school halls are abundant, which can accommodate more scholars to give lectures, so that more students can live in the state school at a low cost.
With an overnight reading room with ever-bright lights, a library with a rich collection of books, and open classes by famous teachers that can be audited for free, the attraction of Huangzhou State School is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people rush to study in Xiyang, Huangzhou.
The original intention of the students is to learn more while there are famous teachers in the state, and for those who are full of learning, it is really a good idea to go to Huangzhou to learn and teach to obtain a rich "bondage", charge a "pen fee" for the bookstore to make school books, and discuss academics with colleagues.
It's just that no one thought that there would be a God-given opportunity to appear in front of him.
Zhou internal strife, the Son of Heaven came to Shannan, it seems that the Yuwen clan is going to confront the east and west of the Yu Chi clan, then the Son of Heaven will inevitably rebuild the imperial court, and now there are a large number of vacancies in the official positions, and the Son of Heaven is in urgent need of talents!
Everyone reads hard, except for a small number of people, most people are holding the mentality of "learning and excelling", but where there is an opportunity to enter the office, it will not be easy to miss, but for most of them, it is a luxury.
The children of the family can easily enter the office by virtue of the valve, and the children of the powerful can rely on the merits of their parents to enter the office, and for the scholars of the poor family, it is already an extremely rare opportunity to show their faces by being invited by the county guard to participate in the banquet.
If a child from a poor family wants to enter the office, he must be recommended and recruited, but it is not easy to be appreciated, and many people do not have the opportunity to attend the banquet convened by the magistrate several times throughout the year, let alone be appreciated.
If you want to be an official without being recommended or recruited, you can only put pen to paper, but many people do not have enough financial resources to support their troops, no one teaches the art of war, they don't know how to set up camp, and they don't know how to lead troops.
On the battlefield, there is no one to block the arrows, and he uses his life to win military merits, and there are many auspicious ones.
Therefore, when I learned that the Son of Heaven was coming to Xiyang and was going to the state school to inspect, whether it was a teacher or a student, although he was reserved on the surface, he was excited in his heart.
If you want to be promoted to the position of a Beijing official, I am afraid that half a lifetime will pass, and the person who the Son of Heaven likes can be directly a Beijing official!
As a Beijing official, close to the center of power, there are more opportunities, and you can also use this to gather contacts and lay a solid foundation for the development of your career, which is an opportunity to feel excited just thinking about it.
Of course, most of the students are self-aware, and their current talents and learning will not be able to enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven, but if they can be praised by the Son of Heaven and initially make a reputation, there will be many magistrates who are willing to recommend and recruit them in the future.
Since ancient times, there are often people living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain near Chang'an, so as to gain fame and attract the attention of the imperial court, and then achieve the purpose of being recruited to be an official, which is a shortcut to enter the office, and today's Huangzhou State School is a shortcut to enter the office.
The eyes of countless people looked at the young Son of Heaven with expectation, and the young Yuwen Qiankeng, looking at the students in front of him and the well-educated people around him, was also looking forward to it in his heart.
He wants to rebuild the imperial court and urgently needs talents, and compared with those powerful and wealthy officials, selecting talented young people and famous Confucians from the state school is an excellent opportunity to build his own team.
Most of these people are from poor families, and they basically have no in-law relationship with those families and magnates, and they don't have many connections in the officialdom.
Such a person became an official, and his loyalty to the emperor was higher than that of the children of the family and the powerful, and Huangzhou Prefecture School gathered a large number of students from poor families, so Yuwen Qiankeng decided to stay in Xiyang for a while to select talents.
At the same time, Yuwen Qiankeng's study in the state is also based on other considerations.
Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan, who teach in the state school, are the world-famous "two Liu", they are all from Hebei, and many of the well-educated people and bachelors here are also from Henan and Hebei.
These people can travel thousands of miles south to study, their family background is naturally good, there are many relatives, and their influence in the local area is not small, so the news of his arrival in Xiyang will inevitably spread to his hometown through these people's family letters.
In addition to Er Liu, some of them and their parents also have a high reputation in Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain) Confucianism, for example...
Kong Yingda, a descendant of the father of the first master and nun, and Fang Yanqian, who was born in the Qinghe Fang clan and was named Zhenrulin, these two people are in Xiyang, and they only need a letter from home to spread the news that he is still alive and has arrived in Shannan throughout Shandong.
The network behind the students and famous teachers of Huangzhou State School is the best shortcut to publicity!
