Chapter 90: Foresight
Zhu Qiming was puzzled. I think that sooner or later I will go to the domain when I become an adult, but this seems to have nothing to do with the Buddhist scriptures, even if I am just a beautiful woman like a cloud, a day of fine clothes and jade food, I can't escape into the empty door and be a companion with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, right?
Now Ni Niang doesn't have to kneel anymore, so she chooses a low stool to sit down right now. "Reading and practicing martial arts must cultivate the character, and reading Buddhist scriptures is beneficial to the cultivation of the character."
Anyway, I haven't read Buddhist scriptures, and I don't know how effective it is, so Zhu Qiming can only choose to believe Ni Niang's statement. Presumably, all those Confucian scholars who studied hard in the cold window were familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, and whether this matter is true or not, I will ask Mr. Lu after returning to Beijing.
Mr. Lui? At this moment, Lu Xiyu's figure slid through his mind again, more than two years have passed, and the imprint in his heart has still not faded, but he doesn't know when and when he can return to Beijing, and whether his wish to ask her to be a companion can still come true?
"Who is Your Highness thinking?" Ni Niang's eyes were half smiling and half puzzled, her dexterous hands were not idle, and in a blink of an eye, she finished making dishes.
Zhu Qiming had long forgotten about his return to Beijing, but he still had residual thoughts in his heart, and in his spare time, between gossip, old memories would occasionally surface, stirring him upset, and this was the case at the moment. After Ni Niang's question, he hurriedly waved away those fragmented old thoughts and let himself completely return to reality.
"Is Yun Niang gone?"
Zhu Qiming had walked around the courtyard a few times, and found that the neighborhood was quite quiet, as if there was an invisible force blocking the footsteps of passers-by, so for several months, there had been no unusual movement around Xiefangyuan.
Despite this, Yun Niang and the others are still very cautious. At the beginning, Ni Niang wanted to build a swing, but because she was worried that "the swing in the wall, the road outside the wall, the pedestrian outside the wall, and the beautiful woman in the wall", finally had to cut her love.
"My sister can only come to see Her Highness occasionally, and she can't stay too long, and she can't go in and out frequently to attract attention. Presumably she was long gone. ”
How did she manage to come quietly and go quietly? It's a bit of a bourster. The question only flashed through his mind for a moment, and he calmed down and went about his meal.
Ni Niang got up and went to eat in the room, and when Zhu Qiming was about to leave the table, she returned to Zhu Qiming's side in time.
"Your Highness reads late at night every day, and when you practice martial arts, it's like playing with your life, you might as well eat more, and you don't have to rush to study."
Zhu Qiming is now studying and practicing martial arts day and night, and his food has skyrocketed, which is enough to meet Xu Gong's amount of food, if he returns to Aunt Fang's house, Aunt Fang will definitely have a big headache.
The table was already empty, and his stomach really couldn't hold it, so he immediately called "full", left the table and walked to the window to sit down, and raised the lamp to rinse his mouth. At this time, there was a fishy smell wafting outside the window, and he quickly covered his nose and returned to the dining table.
Ni Niang hurriedly went over and closed the window, turned around and lit incense, and after a while, the smell in the room was covered.
Looking at Ni Niang who was serving diligently, Zhu Qiming felt ashamed in his heart.
"Your Highness has been reading the two histories of Wenjing Zhizhi and Zhenguan Zhizhi for some time, do you still read them?" Ni Niang dropped this, took a tray and put away the dishes on the table, and went into the kitchen.
The rule of Zhenguan? During the Zhenguan period, many ministers lived in the humble room, and the monarchs and ministers who went to mourn when they died did not even have a place to put their feet, incorruptible and simple to this point, which made people sigh, the rule of Zhenguan, that is a period of extraordinary history of the monarch and the ministers working together and working hard, and the rule of Renxuan is comparable! Some of the strategies of Wenjingshi can be used for reference, but there is no doubt that Renxuan's rule is far inferior to Wenjing's rule. Perhaps, today's Ming Dynasty is comparable to the middle of the Song Dynasty, both of which are increasingly disadvantaged, and after a short period of prosperity, it is followed by the fate of sinking all the way.
"Don't read it." Seeing Ni Niang enter the dining room again, Zhu Qiming shook his head and said.
Ni Niang changed into a skirt made of purple beads and Luan Que brocade fabric, which was extravagant. "Your Highness, rest for a while. Look, Ni Niang's dress seems to be violated, but Haoyou's family is like this, in the final analysis, the regulations are just a piece of paper. There is also this incense, which is very precious, including white sandalwood, yellow ripe incense, benzoin and other incense, which are produced in Champang, Zhenla, Siam, Java and other countries. I remember that during the Jianwen period, there was an imperial decree prohibiting incense, and now I am afraid that the temples have forgotten this ban. ”
Ni Niang is right, don't say that the wealthy are violating the system, why isn't this the case for the nobles in the court? Zhu Qiming thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say so. "Forbidden incense? Oh, I have revered the gods and ancestors since ancient times and repelled ghosts, but with the introduction of incense, the customs are chaotic, and the world begins to worship ghosts, which is the etiquette of Chinese clothing, so there is this order. ”
Looking at Ni Niang's posture, I'm afraid I will talk about the proprietor behind Jinyun Pavilion if I continue to talk about it. Zhu Qiming thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate to say some of the mysterious colors shrouded in Yun Niang and Ni Niang, and he knew it in his heart, but there were still some things that he had to say, so that he could get along smoothly in the future.
"Yun Niang and you are working in Jinyun Pavilion, and your family may become hostages because of this."
Ni Niang was shocked, and then smiled indifferently, "I know that His Highness is very smart, and he can't hide everything from His Highness." His Royal Highness is right, the family of Sister and Ni Niang was secretly blackmailed, and they couldn't afford to travel. Yanbi opened his watery eyes and looked at Zhu Qiming with a smile.
Zhu Qiming hesitated for a long time, "I don't want to ask about anything else, but I won't care about your family!" If he can return to the capital one day, this seat will definitely free your whole family from the control of Jinyun Pavilion! ”
"Ni Niang is going to sew winter clothes for His Highness." Ni Niang walked briskly towards the door, chuckling and wiping her tears.
The idea of returning to Beijing had faded, but after Ni Niang's affair was stirred, Zhu Qiming had no choice but not to return to Beijing.
He walked out of the dining room quickly and walked towards Xu Gong's residence.
"My head is about to break, it's difficult!" When Xu Gong saw Zhu Qiming, he opened his mouth first: "Your Highness, for several months, I have been thinking about it day and night, and I finally have some eyebrows. His Royal Highness encountered several Tartar thieves along the way, and also encountered Fangzheng's plot and assassin's ambush in Baoanzhou, stringing these things together, and then thinking about the anomalies of the pro-guard army and the defenders of the town border city, it is quite intriguing! I wonder if Your Highness has thought about this? ”
Of course I did! Zhu Qiming was a little entangled in his heart, Xu Gong, Niu San, Jiang Yi, as well as Yun Niang and Ni Niang are all people who have broken through the bloody storm with him, and they are his basic plates, and if he wants to solve the shocking mystery that has plagued him for many years in the future, he will inevitably use them. It's just that he couldn't figure out for a moment whether it was appropriate to drag them into the big things he was going to do in the future.
"There are too many clues, and it's as chaotic as numb, so it's better to simplify the complex. Isn't there still a clue in the Forbidden City? ”
"That's right! If you follow the vine, you will definitely find ironclad evidence! Xu Gong approached Zhu Qiming and said, "What if you find out the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
The mastermind behind it? Zhu Qiming smiled indifferently, "Naturally, I invited the Son of Heaven to fall." ”
"I'm afraid the Son of Heaven won't ask about this matter lightly! Your Highness thinks about it, how did the Tartar thief track it down here? Can ordinary people put up such a big battle? Will the person who can repeatedly control His Highness's whereabouts and secretly communicate with the Tartars be ordinary people? There must be ghosts in the Forbidden City! It's hard to say whether this inner ghost with a lot of energy is the culprit, and if there are more prominent figures above the inner ghost? Really dug out the mastermind behind the scenes, His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness's father and that person will inevitably have a big competition, since people dare to do it, they must be prepared, so there is a premonition below, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the culprit ambush the law, this is the next policy! ”
Zhu Qiming looked at Xu Gong in a daze for a while, thinking that he must have spent a lot of time in the past few months, but is Xu Gong's judgment credible?
"How else?"
"Your Highness must pre-govern! For more than two years, I have seen it really, and now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and the disaster is not far away. It is better to participate in the government and politics, with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, to do something practical to solve internal and external troubles, and during this period, since the culprit has done the first year of junior high school, he still wants to do fifteen, and when the culprit does fifteen, it means that he is not only unable to get along with His Highness, but also with Daming and the Son of Heaven! At that time, it will not be difficult for His Highness to clean him up! ”
Zhu Qiming's heart was shocked, his mind seemed to have been spied on, and after a moment of panic, he stabilized his emotions. "What does it mean to participate in politics if you participate in politics? Besides, I'm still young. ”
Xu Gong said categorically: "Your Highness can no longer regard yourself as a child, time is running out!" There are only a few years left, and when His Highness becomes an adult, he may be sent somewhere to go to the domain, and it will be too late! ”
Do you need to say this? This seat has long had this intention, these days have been reading and practicing martial arts day and night, do you think this seat is joking!
Zhu Qiming hurriedly got up, shook his head and smiled: "Full of nonsense, you shouldn't drink morning wine." Then he turned and left.
Xu Gong's voice came from behind him: "I haven't drunk morning wine below." Your Highness, think again! ”
