Ciqing Palace, formerly known as Qingning Palace, has been the prince's bedroom since the beginning of the Yongle period of Chengzu, and the name of Ciqing was changed by Emperor Shizong Jiajing.

This Ciqing Palace is famous in the late Ming Dynasty, because one of the three major suspicious cases in the late Ming Dynasty, the attack occurred here, when Chongzhen's father Guangzong Zhu Changluo was still the prince, he lived in Ciqing Palace, one day in the forty-third year of Wanli, a man suddenly carried a wooden stick and went straight to Ciqing Palace, and I don't know whether the prince Zhu Changluo was not treated by Wanli, Ciqing Palace did not arrange for Jinyi Guards to be on duty, or the palace ban time came, Jinyi Guards were withdrawn from the palace, in short, this man was almost invincible with a wooden stick, from Ciqing Gate to the front hall of Ciqing Palace, I don't know how many eunuchs were knocked down by it, and later, if Zhu Changluo's guards hadn't heard the news, it is estimated that this hard-working prince would have been killed directly with a wooden stick!

It is rumored that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen and his brother Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse were both born in Ciqing Palace, which is not only the residence of the prince, but also the temporary residence of the queen mother when the emperor did not canonize the prince, like now, the widow of the apocalypse, Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan lives in Ciqing Palace.

Perhaps, it was for someone to take care of the young prince, or maybe it was a practice in the palace, in short, Chongzhen did not let his imperial sister-in-law move out of Ciqing Palace, but let the prince Zhu Cihong move in directly.

Therefore, when Zhang Bin took Zheng Chenggong to Ciqing's door, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him, the little prince was coquettish in Zhang Yan's arms, and Zhang Yan was squatting on the ground, holding the prince and patiently comforting him, like that, he was much younger than the last time he saw him!

When Zhang Yan saw Zhang Bin coming, she hurriedly picked up the prince, pointed to the door and said, "Hong'er, look, who's coming." ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong turned his head with tears in his eyes, and exclaimed in surprise: "Master." ”

Maybe those building block toys played a role, the little prince was quite impressed by this master, in his young heart, this master may have been specially given him toys!

Zhang Bin was awakened by his master, he didn't know what to say in this situation, and he was stunned for a while before he arched his hand and said: "Niangniang, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unwilling to go to school?" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, she said shyly: "Yes, Hong'er heard that he wanted him to go to Wenhua Hall to study alone, and he cried and refused to go, which made the adults laugh." ”

Although Zhang Bin has not experienced this situation, he has also seen that when the children of later generations first started kindergarten, they were crying and shouting and holding their parents and not letting go, generally at this time, the kindergarten aunt will take the child from the arms of the parents, and then wave the child's parents away.

Question, he is not a kindergarten aunt, Zhang Yan is not an ordinary parent, he has hugged the prince from her arms, Zhang Bin really doesn't dare, what should he do now?

He arrived at the Wenhua Hall on time in the morning, and it stands to reason that the prince should be waiting for him to teach in the main hall of the apse at this time, but he never thought that he waited for nearly a quarter of an hour and did not see the prince coming, but a eunuch came, and the eunuch told him that the prince refused to come to the Wenhua Palace, and the queen asked him to pick it up.

At first, he thought it was Empress Zhou, but he never thought it was Empress Zhang, at this moment, his head was messing around, and he didn't know what to do, but the little prince suddenly asked: "Master, did you bring me fun again?" ”

This feeling is good, Zhang Bin hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, the master has brought you a lot of fun, but not here, but over there in Wenhua Palace." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he said without hesitation: "Aunt Huang, let's go to Wenhua Hall to play." ”

Just kidding, how could Zhang Yan go to the Wenhua Palace with him, it was not a harem, nor an East Palace, how could she, a widowed queen, show her face.

She thought about it, squatted down and put Zhu Cihong on the ground, and coaxed: "Hong'er, the imperial aunt is a little tired, can you go and play with the master?" ”

The little prince Zhu Cihong instantly fell into a dilemma, he looked at Zhang Yan and then at Zhang Bin, and he couldn't choose for a while.

Zhang Bin wanted to go over and pull the prince away, but he was afraid of offending Zhang Yan, he was entangled for a while, suddenly bent down, attached to Zheng Chenggong's ear, and said softly: "Success, you go and coax His Royal Highness the prince and pull him over." ”

Zheng Chenggong is so smart, he understood as soon as he heard it, Zhang Bin was asking him to deceive the child, Zhang Xiang and Zhang Yang, who he often deceived in Zhang Bin's mansion, were in a group, and this little thing was naturally not a problem.

He stepped forward without hesitation and coaxed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why don't I take you to play, it's fun over there in the Wenhua Palace." ”

The little prince Zhu Cihong seems to be a little moved, he hasn't played with such a big "little friend" yet, he has two younger brothers and a younger sister, and he can't walk at this time, it's not fun at all.

Zhang Yan didn't feel disgusted when she saw Zheng Chenggong's handsome little appearance, she just asked curiously, "Who is this?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly explained: "This is Zheng Chenggong, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the son of Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy Division, is also a student of Weichen, and has been studying with Weichen for several years, and his foundation is quite good, so Weichen took him to accompany the prince to study, and the emperor has given permission." ”

When Zhang Yan heard that it was the son of the right governor, she immediately put her mind at ease, and at this moment Zhu Cihong also showed a look of interest, she simply patted Zhu Cihong's little ass and encouraged: "Hong'er, go, go and play with your little brother, your little brother is amazing, his father is a general." ”

She didn't know what Zheng Zhilong was doing before, she wanted to know that Zheng Chenggong was the son of a pirate, and she was probably so frightened that she picked up Zhu Cihong and ran away!

Zhu Cihong didn't know even more, as soon as he heard about the general, he immediately said excitedly: "Little senior brother, is your father really a general?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said proudly: "Of course it's true." ”

Zhu Cihong asked again: "Then do you know martial arts?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said proudly: "Of course it will." ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly said with anticipation on his face: "Then you play two tricks to show me." ”

Performing kung fu is also Zheng Chenggong's strength, Xiao Zhang Xiang and Xiao Zhang Yang like to watch this the most, and they will pull him to perform whenever they have the opportunity, and he has also specially practiced a set of cool kung fu for children.

I saw him take a deep breath, and raised his hand to be a set of long fists, that guy, tiger and tiger, is very good-looking, in fact, there is no lethality at all, and then, he turned over a few heels in a row, which is even more cool.

Zhu Cihong's eyes were suddenly full of little stars, and he clapped his hands vigorously.

Zheng Chenggong patted the ashes on his hands, and said coaxingly: "How about it, do you want to play with my senior brother." ”

"Yes, yes." Zhu Cihong immediately burst out of Zhang Yan's arms and stretched out his little hand to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong took his little hand and walked out with his head held high.

Seeing that the flickering was successful, Zhang Bin hurriedly arched his hand towards Zhang Yan, turned around and walked in the direction of Wenhua Palace, and a bunch of eunuchs on both sides of the gate who had been waiting for a long time also hurriedly followed.

Zhang Yan looked at the backs of everyone, and her eyes gradually showed a confused color, like that, she was obviously a little reluctant, but she didn't know whether she was reluctant to let the little prince Zhu Cihong or someone else.

Speaking of Zhang Bin's side, he finally coaxed the prince Zhu Cihong out, but along the way, Zhu Cihong wanted to learn kung fu all the way, and he didn't want to study at all, what should I do?

This is naturally difficult for Zhang Bin, as long as he flickers out, he has a way to let the prince study, but these can only be said until he reaches the Wenhua Palace, otherwise, the little prince is not happy, and he turns around and runs back, then it will be troublesome.

Wenhua Palace, was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, at first it has been used as a place for the prince to study and regent, but later with the degradation of the functions of the Zhan Mansion, the prince's education has gradually changed, and the Wenhua Hall has gradually evolved into a place where the emperor holds a feast.

The main hall of the Wenhua Hall is in the shape of an I-shape, the front hall is called the Wenhua Palace, sits north to the south, the horizontal size of the hall is five, the longitudinal depth of three rooms, the lobby in the middle used to be the place of the prince regent, and this time it became the place where the emperor held the feast.

The apse of the Wenhua Hall is called the main hall, the horizontal width is about the same as the front hall, but the depth is slightly shallow, the same is the horizontal size of the hall five, the longitudinal depth of three rooms, the lobby in the middle used to be the place where the prince studied, but this time has been idle for decades, from the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, there is no prince here to read again!

After Zhang Bin arrived here, he just asked people to simply arrange it, that is, let people set up a large table in the warm pavilion facing the door, on which a pen, ink and paper inkstone was placed, and two small tables were placed on both sides of the warm pavilion, and the pen, ink and paper inkstones were also placed, and then a cushion was placed behind each table, and that's it.

Zhu Cihong didn't pay much attention to it after following Zhang Bin and Zheng Chenggong into this "strange" place, he was now full of learning kung fu and didn't think about anything else.

Zhang Bin had already thought about it, and as soon as he led Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Cihong in, he said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not impossible to learn kung fu, but before learning kung fu, you must read pictures and read words, otherwise you can't even understand the pictures and annotations on the martial arts cheats, how can you learn kung fu?" ”

Where did Zhu Cihong know so much at such a young age, when he heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious: "Really? ”

Zhang Bin nodded solemnly and said: "Of course it's true, success, you recite the "Three Character Classic" to your junior brother." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately let go of Zhu Cihong's hand, put his hands back, stood there shaking his head and said: "At the beginning ......of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and Xi is far away. ”

The voice, mellow and loud, was done in one go, and a three-character scripture was memorized without a pause.

It's so powerful, Zhu Cihong's eyes are full of little stars again.

Seeing this, Zhang Bin said proudly: "How about it, the teacher didn't lie to you, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cihong was innocent and innocent: "Master, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with kung fu, right?" ”

, why are you so clever, this "Three Character Classic" sounds like it really has nothing to do with kung fu, he thought about it, and simply coaxed: "This is just a beginner, it will be related later, success, and then recite the "Thousand Character Text" to your junior brother." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he shook his head and said: "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu is listed in the ......." ”

This "Thousand Character Text" really sounds so meaningful, of course, in fact, "Thousand Character Text" does not have any special meaning, it depends on what people have to listen to it, if you preconceived that it is related to kung fu, it really sounds a bit of martial arts cheats.

Zhu Cihong listened to it as if he was drunk, and after listening, he finally believed it!

Zhang Bin had been paying attention to his expression, and seeing that he was convinced, Zhang Bin immediately induced: "How is it, do you want to learn?" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded vigorously and said, "I want to learn." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said solemnly: "Okay, sit down first, and start class immediately." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he looked confused and stood there at a loss, while Zheng Chenggong quickly knelt behind the table below, raised his head and made a serious listening gesture.

Zhang Bin came to sit behind the table in the warm pavilion, and then said solemnly: "Hong'er, sit down like your senior brother, this is also practicing basic skills, do you know?" ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he hurriedly followed Zheng Chenggong's example and ran to the rest of the table to kneel down and try to straighten his waist.

Zhang Bin nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a sketch and held it up and said loudly: "Did you see it, Hong'er, this word reads day, and day is the sun in the sky." ”

At this time, Zheng Chenggong's role was reflected, Zhang Bin brought him to set an example for the prince, Zhang Bin's words just fell, he immediately picked up a similar simple picture on the table, pretended to be a study, how serious and serious he was.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong hurriedly picked up a similar simple diagram on the table like Zheng Chenggong, and looked like it.

Zhang Bin was not in a hurry, until Zhu Cihong was tired of seeing it and raised his head, he held up another simple picture, and said loudly: "Did you see it, this word reads the moon, and the moon is the moon hanging in the sky at night." ”

This time, without Zheng Chenggong's demonstration, Zhu Cihong consciously picked up another sketch and looked at it seriously.

Seeing this, Zhang Bin couldn't help but nod with relief, it seems that this prince is still relatively smart, not the kind of mentally retarded, if he is dull, it will be difficult to teach.

He patiently waited for Zhu Cihong to finish reading, then held up another simple picture, and said loudly: "The sun and the moon have light, and when combined they are Ming characters, Ming is the Ming of the Great Ming, and Ming is the Ming of the Bright Ming." ”

This picture is of a scholar reading by the window, and the sky outside the window is painted with a round sun, this picture is more vivid, Zhu Cihong looked at it with great interest for a long time before raising his head.

Today is the first day of the prince Zhu Cihong's reading and learning words, Zhang Bin did not plan to teach too many things, just these three words, day, month, and bright, after introducing these three words in combination with graphics, Zhang Bin said aloud: "Come, Hong'er, success, follow me to read, day, day, day." ”

At first, Zhu Cihong was still a little unconscious, but when he saw Zheng Chenggong following Zhang Bin's recitation, he imitated Zheng Chenggong's appearance and read it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bin took the trouble to take them to read the moon and Ming characters dozens of times, and then they combined and read: "The sun, the moon, and the Ming are the Ming of the Ming Dynasty." ”

At this time, Zhu Cihong was already more accustomed to it, and as soon as Zhang Bin's words fell, he followed Zheng Chenggong and read aloud: "The sun, the moon, and the bright, Ming is the Ming of the Ming Dynasty." ”

After reading it like this all morning, Zhang Bin and Zheng Chenggong were about to vomit, and Zhu Cihong finally remembered the pronunciation and meaning of these three words.

At noon, the three of them had a hasty meal together in the side hall of the main hall, and practiced "kung fu" in the square in front of the hall.

This afternoon, Zhang Bin didn't teach too many things, that is, he taught Zhu Cihong to hold a pen and write, and what he wrote was the three words of sun, moon, and bright.
