Chapter Twenty-Five: Little Lotus Shows Its Sharp Corners
Changsun Sheng finally made up his mind!
In fact, as early as after the bow battle on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Changsun Sheng reported to Yang Guang and wanted to accept Zheng Yanqing as his protégé.
In Changsun Sheng's status, his every move cannot be regarded as a personal act.
Regarding the matter of accepting protégé disciples, Yuwenshu told him, and Pei Shiju also told him, including Mai Tiecane and Dugu Wudu, all of whom were powerful ministers in the court, all of whom had mentioned it in private, but Changsun Sheng rejected them all.
In Changsun Sheng's opinion, his disciples must be able to help the Changsun family support the Perak Hall.
This person must not only have a good background, but also have talent. As big as participating in court politics, as small as promoting the descendants of the eldest grandson, if he can't meet his requirements, the eldest grandson Sheng would rather not accept disciples. On the other hand, Changsun Sheng also has scruples about accepting protégé disciples. is like a child of the Pei family in Hedong, he must not accept it. Because that would make the Pei family more powerful, and even arouse the emperor's suspicion. If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Changsun Sheng is naturally unwilling to get involved.
Breaking the wild head Yu Wenshu?
Ha, it's just a house slave.
Even if Yuwenshu is very trusted by Yang Guang, Changsun Sheng can't see it. Even if Yuwen Shu asked him to accept Yuwen Chengdu, he was unwilling. The eldest grandson's family is not as good as the five surnames and seven families, but they are also well-known Heluowang clans.
Therefore, when Li Yuan mentioned Zheng Yanqing to him, Changsun Sheng's heart was moved!
First, the Zheng family and the Perak Hall Changsun family both belong to the Heluo clan, and they are the right people; Second, after a series of blows, the Zheng family has no successor, ranking at the bottom of the five surnames and seven families. Therefore, even if Zheng Dashi stood on the wrong team at the beginning, Yang Guang did not kill the Zheng family. On the one hand, it is disdainful; On the other hand, he also needs the Zheng family to stabilize the Heluo region, and at the same time check and balance the other gate valve families to achieve some kind of balanced situation.
Zheng Yanqing was born in the Zheng family, if he worshiped under the eldest grandson, Yang Guang would not only not be suspicious, but would be willing to promote this matter.
A half-dead Zheng family is far easier to control than a Shandong Shima who entered Heluo strongly.
Of course, Changsun Sheng has another purpose.
That is, after accepting Zheng Yanqing, the incognito power behind Yanqing will help the development of Perak Hall. Even if Li Yuan didn't say anything, Changsun Sheng still thought that Yanqing might be Li Yuan's illegitimate son. With the support of Guanzhong Li Valve, Perak Hall will be as stable as a rock within a hundred years. This is the calculation in Changsun Sheng's heart! Of course, if Yan Qing didn't show enough outstanding, Changsun Sheng might not nod. The combination of various factors contributed to the inclusion of Yanqing in Changsun Sheng.
Yanqing was in the limelight, and the emperor did not have any opinions.
Therefore, Changsun Sheng is determined to take advantage of this shareholder wind to prepare the scenery of this apprenticeship ceremony.
He brought Yanqing here to explain the matter.
And Zheng Yanqing had already gotten the news, and when Sun Sheng spoke, he was already a little anxious. When Changsun Sheng offered to accept him as a disciple, Yan Qing immediately nodded in agreement. This also strengthened Changsun Sheng's idea to a certain extent: this kid must be related to Li Valve! Presumably before this, Tang Guogong had already told him about it.
"Yanqing, you have now gained a firm foothold in Shilin, and you have a small reputation.
Coupled with the bow battle on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, many people in the court know you. Therefore, the teacher is preparing to hold the apprenticeship ceremony to show that the world knows. I asked someone to calculate, and it will be a good day after ten days, when the time comes, the teacher will invite the Luoyang gentry to pay homage to the teacher in the Perak Hall. During these 10 days, you need to fast and cultivate your self-cultivation. ”
"Disciple understands!"
Zheng Yanqing quickly reacted that Changsun Sheng was building momentum for him, and at the same time, he was also adding luster to Perak Hall.
Respectfully, he presented the scroll with both hands.
"Teacher, the students have admired the name of the teacher for a long time, and now I am very honored to be able to worship the teacher.
It's just that I didn't have much courtesy, so I hurriedly wrote a poem and presented it to the teacher...... Please don't be surprised. ”
In the study, there are only two people, Changsun Sheng and Zheng Yanqing.
He curiously took the scroll from Zheng Yanqing's hand and said with a smile: "I have also heard that Yanqing poetry and books are unique for a long time, and I am about to see it." ”
Changsun Sheng opened the scroll and saw that there were four seven-character quatrains inside.
"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. Now that there is a dragon city flying general, how dare Huma cross the mountain......"
On the thin cheeks, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared.
In this world, people don't like to praise.
It's just that the preferences are different, so the way of compliments is also different. There is no doubt that Yan Qing's poem is tickling the itch of Changsun Sheng. Compare him to the flying general Li Guang? In Changsun Sheng's heart, he was happy tightly.
"Yanqing, you like this poem very much!"
Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, I haven't had face-to-face contact with Changsun Sheng, and I don't know much about Changsun Sheng. He was really a little scared, this poem was not in line with Changsun Sheng's mind. Now it seems that he has passed! Changsun Sheng also seemed to be satisfied.
Changsun Sheng inquired about Zheng Yanqing's homework in detail.
He was not surprised that Yan Qingyi had begun to study the Pentateuch...... However, when asked how Yanqing governed history, Changsun Sheng seemed to have some opinions.
"Yanqing, there is nothing wrong with your study of the Three Kingdoms, but for a hundred years, the people of the world have mainly governed Han books, so you should study Han books more. His Majesty set up the imperial examination to recruit talented people from all over the world. Among them, Hanshu is the most, if you don't read Hanshu, even if you have the background of Yun Cavalry Captain, it is not the right way...... I have thirteen volumes of the Book of War and six volumes of the Book of Han, and I will give it to you as a gift. In addition, the eldest grandson of Thunderbolt is known for riding and shooting, so you should be more careful in the future. ”
Zheng Yanqing hurriedly thanked him and took the book from Changsun Sheng's hand.
After talking to Changsun Sheng for a while, he got up and said goodbye...... "Yanqing!" ”
"The students are here!"
Changsun Sheng and Yan Qing walked out of the study and suddenly stopped him, "You live in Zhuyuan now, it is inevitable that there will be inconvenience."
I'll send you alone, and you can take care of it more later...... Ma Sanbao. ”
"The villain is here!"
It seems that he has been waiting in the yard, Ma Sanbao ran over from the rockery in response, and respectfully saluted Changsun Sheng and Yanqing.
"In the future, you will follow Zheng Yanqing and listen to his orders in everything."
"The villain obeys!"
Zheng Yanqing couldn't react, and turned his head to look at Changsun Sheng in surprise.
Changsun Sheng didn't explain anything, just smiled gently, patted Zheng Yanqing's shoulder and said, "Go back early, remember these ten days, you must cultivate your own self and surname, and don't provoke right and wrong again." Lord Yin Fang of Henan is a person who does not show favoritism. If there is nothing to do, it is better not to come into the city, stay in the bamboo garden, study hard, and remember to remember! ”
Zheng Yanqing felt that Changsun Sheng had something to say.
But he didn't want to explain, and Yan Qing didn't want to ask.
Looking at Ma Sanbao, Zheng Yanqing felt so weird.
What does it mean to be a good stuff for me?
Zheng Yanqing left suspiciously, while Changsun Sheng stood on the verandah at the door of the study, watching his back disappear from the corner door.
"Madam, how is this son?"
From one end of the corridor, a middle-aged beautiful woman turned out.
Ying Ying walked to Changsun Sheng's side, "This Xiao Langjun is a person who can calm down, you forced Ma Sanbao to him like this, he didn't even ask." It's just that why did Tang Guogong pass through your hands and send Ma Sanbao out? ”
Eldest Sun Sheng smiled, "Shude is a careful person.
His Majesty is now not very satisfied with Guanlong, and even if he moves the capital to Luoyang, he is not willing to stay in Chang'an. Shude is the representative of Guan Long, and every move will be followed by His Majesty. If he sent Ma Sanbao out, wouldn't it expose his relationship with Xiao Langjun? ”
Mrs. Gao is also the queen of the Northern Qi royal family, and she is no stranger to those things in the court.
Changsun Sheng has always respected her, and Mrs. Gao is also a person who can keep secrets, so the husband and wife have nothing to hide.
"Oh, it seems that Tang Guogong attaches great importance to this little Langjun!"
"Hehe, I guess this kid probably doesn't know about the relationship between him and Shude. Otherwise, Shude would not have had to act in the way of Shinto...... However, at his age, there are not many people who can be as calm as him. ”
Mrs. Gao covered her mouth and smiled, "The master seems to value this child very much?" ”
"Well, he is a master of poetry and books, and he is indeed talented."
"In that case, has the lord ever thought about anything else?"
Eldest Sun Sheng was stunned, turned his head and looked at Mrs. Gao in surprise: "Other things?" What does Madame have to say, why don't you know? ”
Mrs. Gao took Changsun Sheng's arm and sighed softly.
"The slave is already twelve this year, and when he grows up in the future, he will have someone to support him after all.
When the master is there, the slaves can be carefree; But one day, if the old man ...... Who can speak for him? Although my brother has some ability, he is not a member of the eldest grandson's family after all. Didn't the master say before that Zheng Dashi of An Yuantang left suddenly, so that Zheng Renji took over in a hurry, and it was inevitable that there would be chaos. Zheng Renji is said to be a lesson from the future of the slaves! ”
Shi Nu is Mrs. Gao's biological son, the milk name of the eldest grandson Wuji.
People in these days like to give their children a Buddhist name. For example, the eldest grandson Wuji is called Guanyin, and the eldest grandson Wuji is called a slave to pray for the blessing of the Buddha. Changsun Sheng was not stupid, and immediately heard the meaning of Mrs. Gao's words.
He had four sons, the eldest son Xingbu was dead, and the second son Heng'an was in his prime.
It's just that Heng'an is not from Mrs. Gao, and he has never been friendly with Mrs. Gao. At the beginning, the eldest grandson Sheng asked Hengan to take over the title of Xingbu, but he had actually made up his mind, and the eldest grandson Wuji would take over in the future.
However, the age of the eldest grandson Wuji is too young after all...... "What does Madam mean, Guanyin?" ”
Mrs. Gao smiled, smiled a little brightly, and tapped her head.
"This ......" Changsun Sheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. Speaking of which, Yanqing is about the same age as Wuji, three years older than his beloved daughter, which is quite suitable. If Zheng Yanqing is really innocent with his eldest grandson...... The eldest grandson Wuji said that after taking over the Thunderbolt Hall, he could have a strong reinforcement. In the open, there is the Xingyang Zheng family, which is a big camel, and in the secret, there are Li Valve and the Dou family.
Zheng Yanqing himself is also a talented person.
Not only is poetry and books unique, but it can also be seen from the bow battle on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month that Zheng Yanqing is quite scheming.
If such a person helps the eldest grandson Wuji, Perak Hall will definitely have no worries.
It's just that...... Mrs. Gao seemed to see the eldest grandson Wuji's concerns, and grinned, "What's the matter, aren't you worried about the little lady of the Pei family?" ”
"Pei Cuiyun?"
Eldest Sun Sheng shook his head again and again, "I'm afraid it's impossible for the two of them." With the strength of the Pei family, coupled with Pei Shiju's scheming, he is already in the limelight. If the Pei family and the Zheng family are combined again, I am afraid that even His Majesty will not agree. ”
"In that case, what else is the master worried about?"
Eldest Sun Sheng scratched his head, "There's no need to worry about this beforehand, I'll take a look first."
If Zheng Yanqing and Guanyin can really succeed, even if I try to offend the old Pei family, I will definitely fulfill the two of them.
It's just that it's still a little too early, wait for me to observe Zheng Yanqing again, and then observe ......"
