Chapter 56: The Prince Leaves the Palace
The next day, Lu Shouqian, the son of Zuo Chunfang, was lecturing on the third article of the "University" "Gou Rixin, Ri Ri Xin, and Ri Xin" sentence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Just such a short sentence, a sentence engraved on the bathtub by King Shang Tang, has been quoted by Lu Shuzi for almost an hour.
The king of Shangtang originally talked about the problem of bathing, which means that if you wash the dirt off your body today, you will have to wash the dirt every day in the future, so that everyone must insist on it day by day. As for its implication, it probably means that people should keep their minds updated every day and look forward.
It can be quoted by Lu Shuzi, the left sentence of "Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour" said: "bathing in snow and spirit", and the right sentence of "Etiquette and Confucianism" said "bathing in body and bathing in virtue", so that the prince's character should continue to be baptized, moral character should be constantly cultivated, and quality should be continuously improved and transformed. A sentence that is clearly told is a sentence that makes people not think rigidly, and it is said that it is necessary to constantly sublimate spiritually.
Zhong Yu thought with a bitter face: I'm afraid it's those dull fixed teaching materials for teaching the prince again! Even this is obviously a sentence that keeps people constantly updated and innovative, but this Lu Shuzi still uses that dull cliché, there is no innovation in itself, and how can the listeners understand the meaning of this sentence!
Zhong Yu felt that it was also painful, he really wanted to accompany the prince to skip class at this time, thinking of this, Zhong Yu couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand and make a painful appearance.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly covered his left head, and also made a painful expression, and said in a lamented voice: "Oh, Master Lu, my head suddenly hurts a little, alas...... Today, I listened to Master Lu's lecture wonderfully, and I was thinking about it, but my head hurt when I thought about it. Zhu Houzhao saw Zhong Yu touching his forehead with his hand and making a painful gesture, thinking that he was signaling to himself to start pretending to have a headache, and hurriedly started the performance!
Zhong Yu saw Zhu Houzhao's performance, and couldn't help but give Zhu Houzhao a thumbs up behind the bookcase, I didn't see it before, this Zhu Houzhao still has the potential of an actor!
Lu Shuzi heard Zhu Houzhao say that he had a good lecture, and he couldn't help but be a little happy, seeing that the prince had a headache, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The prince feels a headache, then hurry up and let the minions call the imperial doctor, Weichen's lesson will be about the same, then say goodbye first, the prince will wait for the headache to heal, remember to ponder more!" ”
The prince covered his left head and said, "Master Lu, don't worry, when the headache in this palace is lighter, you must think about Master Lu's class!" ”
Lu Shuzi left, Liu Jin hurriedly called the imperial doctor, if the prince wants to pretend to be sick successfully, this imperial doctor must pass.
Soon after, Liu Jin led a doctor in his forties with a clear face to diagnose the prince.
This imperial doctor has been taking the pulse of the prince for a long time, and he really can't see what the prince is sick about. But Zhu Houzhao has been beside him, covering his head and calling "oops" and "oops", and he didn't dare to say that the prince was not sick, let alone use medicine casually.
In the end, the imperial doctor couldn't do it, so he prescribed a few refreshing prescriptions, told the prince to rest more, and then retreated.
As soon as the imperial physician left, Zhu Houzhao jumped up suddenly, laughed and said: "Zhong Shi has so many points of reading devils, even the imperial doctor can deceive him!" Quick, useful, you go to Zhan Shifu to report my headache, and I won't be in class at Chenshi and Sishi. Liu Jin, hurry up and prepare something, by the way, call Shang Jin'er, let's act according to the plan! Zhong Shiyu will wait for us at the Donghua Gate first, and we will meet there later!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's elated appearance, Zhong Yu secretly felt bitter in his heart. Liu Jin catered to Zhu Houzhao everywhere, coaxed him to be happy, and taught him to play and have fun, and was later scolded by those civil and official groups as the "Eight Tigers", but now what he is doing is inevitably going towards this road. If those courtiers knew about their actions, the reputation of a courtier would not be able to escape.
Zhong Yu wanted to lead Zhu Houzhao in the direction of being a diligent and hardworking emperor, but with Zhu Houzhao's rebellious nature, if he learned from his loyal ministers and blindly admonished him, I am afraid it would have the opposite effect.
Now Zhong Yu and the prince have only known each other for a month, but Liu Jin and they have grown up taking care of Zhu Houzhao since childhood, and they are definitely not comparable to them in terms of affection. If his guidance of Zhengde aroused the vigilance of the Eight Tigers and said some bad things casually in front of the prince, then I am afraid that I will not be able to do it as a waiter.
So this matter can only be done slowly, Zhong Yu only hopes that through his own efforts, the absurd and frolicking emperors in history can be a little different from history, at least so that the Ming Dynasty will not decline in the Zhengde period.
……
Zhong Yu went out of the palace first, and at a small tea stall next to Donghua Gate, he asked for a pot of tea, ordered a plate of melon seeds, and waited while drinking.
Half an hour later, four eunuchs appeared in Donghua Gate, followed by two small chamberlains holding brocade boxes with their heads bowed.
After a group of eunuchs and eunuchs checked the waist cards of the palace gate with the forbidden army guards guarding the palace gate, they went out of the Donghua Gate and went straight to the tea stall where Zhong Yu was.
Zhong Yu saw that this group of eunuchs was led by Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, and behind them were Zhang Yong and Wei Bin, who were also eunuchs from the East Palace. Needless to say, the two little eunuchs with their heads bowed behind them were probably the crown prince and Princess Chunyue.
Zhong Yu saw that there were only four eunuchs following the prince, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, there were no guards to follow, in case something happened to the prince, I was afraid that he would end up miserable.
Zhong Yu bowed his hand to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Did Your Highness bring a few guards?" ”
Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly: "No, Zhang Yong and Wei Bin have both practiced martial arts, as long as they follow." Besides, I've been learning kung fu for seven or eight years, and ordinary little thieves can't hurt us! ”
Zhong Yu was also helpless when he heard this, so he had to comfort himself, and the prince would go out of the palace to go shopping, and nothing would happen.
Zhong Yu looked at the six of them in their clothes, which was not suitable for shopping, and couldn't help but say: "The prince and princess, and a few fathers-in-law, are you going to change your clothes first?" ”
Zhu Hou took care of his inner clothes, it was not appropriate to go shopping like this, and couldn't help but say: "Zhong Shiyu find a place, let's go buy a few sets of clothes first!" ”
Zhong Yu's house is in the school's lieutenant alley, every day is to walk the goldfish alley, pass through the Nanxunfang, and then pass through the Dong'an Gate, from the Donghua Gate into the palace, the place passed by this road is quite familiar.
Nanxunfang is close to the imperial city, and most of them are where wealthy families live, and there are a few quite high-end ready-to-wear stores there.
Zhu Houzhao and Princess Chunyue Zhu Jin'er, who came out of the ready-to-wear store, were both dressed in Confucian shirts and turned into two handsome little scholars, while Liu Jin and the four of them wore servant clothes.
Zhu Hou took a picture out of the palace, like a bird out of a cage! In the past, he occasionally went out of the palace, Emperor Hongzhi took him, under the secret protection of many guards, don't go to some sparsely populated scenic places to walk around, it is rare to come out today, he is like a countryman into the city, look everywhere is fresh, Zhu Jiner also loves to join in the lively temperament, this pair of brothers and sisters go to a crowded place to wander around.
Zhong Yu had no choice but to accompany him to wander around the market, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Jin'er saw that many things sold in the market could not be seen in the palace, and they liked it very much.
Seeing others bargaining and making it dark, the two of them couldn't help but learn the same, and when they saw something they liked, they couldn't help but come forward to ask for the price, and then learn to negotiate with others.
Although their brothers and sisters don't understand the price, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong are mostly familiar with them, and with them by their side, Zhu Houzhao didn't take it as a big wrongdoer. But after this price is over, you have to buy things, Zhong Yu is a money fan, so naturally he won't give money. Gu Dayong and several people are now all serving around the prince, and they don't have any positions in the inner court, and they don't have much money.
Only Liu Jin is the chief eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division, although this Bell and Drum Division is to hit the morning bell and beat the dusk drum every day, and there is no big oil and water, but this Bell and Drum Division also has a duty to manage the Teaching Workshop Division. Many of the women who were charged into the Teaching Department were the children of high-ranking officials who had their homes raided, and it was up to the Teaching Department to decide whether to be a prostitute or a prostitute. Although many high-ranking officials have fallen, there are still protégés who are old, and in order to reduce the suffering of those women who have been charged into the Teaching Workshop Division, it is naturally indispensable to make some silver, so Liu Jin, the chief eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division, has saved a lot of silver.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Jin'er finished the bargain, and the money errand naturally fell on Liu Jin.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Jin'er were very addicted to shopping, and several people walked around the market in the imperial city for more than an hour, and finally Zhong Yu and his party of seven people, all of whom carried a lot of things on their shoulders.
Although those merchants have a humble status, they are all stewards sent by large families, and they have seen some of the world, and they think that they are the children of the rich family in the countryside.
It's the end of August now, and now there are a lot of talented people from six states and twenty-five counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu hanging out in Beijing, and they are all waiting for the release of the autumn exam. The autumn season of Daming is generally held in mid-to-late August, and the list is released in early September.
Those traders obviously regarded Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Jin'er, who were all fresh and dressed as scholars, as students from the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, and felt that they were all local buns from the countryside who had never seen the world. The merchants had made a lot of money, and their faces could not help but show some disdain. Most of the people in the capital have a sense of superiority and look down on the local buns from other places, which is also a long-standing tradition.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Jin'er were having fun, and they were both heartless, and they didn't bother to pay attention to the faces of those businessmen. Tired of shopping in the market, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "I'm hungry, are there delicious restaurants around here?" Let's go down to the restaurant. ”
There are many restaurants in the sweet water well alley of Nanxunfang, which is not far away! As soon as the next group of people summed up, they were ready to go to Tianshuijing Hutong to find a restaurant to eat.
Zhong Yu, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Jin'er stood shoulder to shoulder, squeezing out the crowd and walking towards Tianshuijing Hu. Liu Jin and the four of them consciously performed the duties of servants, two in front to open the way, and two in the back to support. Zhong Yu and the three of them really look like the three noble sons who came out with their servants to play.
