Chapter 851: The Situation in Beijing
But now the emperor is still young and can't play this, so the current Qingqi Garden is much more deserted than back then.
But at this time, a boy was happily jumping in this garden.
What a garden, how many strange and wonderful carvings! How many springs are there in the mouths of those strange beasts? They are all different. How many new and beautiful patterns are carved on the huge stone arch? Tens of thousands? Styles vary. The large, neat and labyrinthine garden. Even if 10,000 people walk into this garden, it is like fine sand spilling into the sea, it is still so elegant and tranquil.
The Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens! The Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens!
The boy screamed and jumped uncontrollably, and he almost forgot who he was.
Until a laughing Mimi appeared in front of him.
The boy was startled, but he didn't dare to attack.
He left his biological mother since he was a child, and he has long lost the courage to have a seizure.
When he saw someone coming, he immediately curtsied.
"Uncle Huang."
"You don't have to be formal, hurry up, there are no outsiders here, what do we have to be polite." The little emperor Guangxu looked at Belepzo, who fell to the ground, and said with a smile.
Despite his generation, he was only four years older than Puzo.
"Honor!" In the end, it is the nature of children, and Pu Zhu jumped up at once.
"Is it fun?"
"It's so much fun, that...... Uncle Huang, you can build a few more, one in the south of the Yangtze River and one in the north, we have a place to play wherever we go. ”
The little emperor's face suddenly became gloomy: "You think about beauty, I am so big, so far, I have never been out of the palace once." ”
"Uncle Huang, I haven't been out of the palace either." Pu Zhuo also muttered, "Actually...... I...... I almost got lost just now. ”
Listened to Puzo's words. Guangxu laughed.
"Why didn't Liangbeizi come with you?" Guangxu asked.
The "good shell" in Guangxu's mouth is Lin Yiqing's son Lin Boliang, he is not a Bo person, so he does not have the title of Beizi, but because the Empress Dowager Renxi loves him very much and gives him the treatment of Baylor, Guangxu calls him "good shellfish".
"Liang Beizi went to the city with her mother." Puzo said. A hint of envy flashed unconsciously in his eyes.
For Lin Boliang, who can always be by his mother's side, he feels envious from the bottom of his heart.
Although Concubine Yu gave him the same maternal love, she was not his biological mother after all.
"Liang Beizi didn't come, but he must have something for you to give to me, right?" Guangxu looked at Pu Zhuo and laughed.
"Yes, Uncle Huang. Liang Beizi instructed me to give this to the imperial uncle. Pu Zhuo forcibly endured his hunger, took out a paper bag in his arms, and handed it to Guangxu.
Guangxu saw the paper bag. His eyes immediately lit up, he snatched the paper bag, and couldn't wait to open it, and the aroma of meat inside immediately emanated.
It was a thick stack of four meatloaf.
"Liang Beizi also said that Mrs. Chiho asked him to tell Uncle Huang that he should not eat it all in one meal, in case he survives." Pu Zhuo said again.
Since Lin Yiqing went to Vietnam, he gave the task of "replenishing food" to the little emperor's students to He Yunqing and Chiho Kirino. After they bought the folk food that the little emperor loved from outside the palace, it was inconvenient for them to come out. It was passed on by Kobayashi Boliang, and after coming and going, Puzhuo, who was also a companion and Lin Boliang, also joined this task.
"That's nature." Guangxu peeked around, picked up a meatloaf, and was about to open his mouth to chew it, when suddenly he saw that Pu Zhuo's gaze was also on the meatloaf. I couldn't help but stop.
"By the way, you didn't steal it, did you?" Guangxu asked with a stern look.
Pu Zhuo came back to his senses, was startled, and immediately knelt down.
"Don't dare!" He bowed his head again and again, and said in a trembling voice.
"Look at you. I knelt down at every turn, not to mention that you haven't eaten yet, even if you do, you run errands for me, will I blame you? Guangxu put up a shelf in front of Pu Zhuo, and Zhengse said.
"The minister really didn't steal it!" Pu Zhuo was about to cry.
"Hurry up!" Guangxu stepped forward and pulled up this companion who was four years younger than himself, and put the meatloaf in his hand in his hand, "Oh, this is my reward for you!" Eat it! ”
Pu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, Guangxu didn't care about him anymore, but picked up another meatloaf and took a hard bite.
The aroma of the meatloaf spread, Pu Zhuo looked at the meatloaf in his hand, his heart was warm, and at that moment he also followed the example of the little emperor, and opened his mouth to bite the meatloaf.
After Guangxu ate two meatloaf in succession, he reluctantly rewrapped the remaining meatloaf and put it in his arms.
"Wan Hejun didn't come today, I don't know what's going on?" Guangxu wiped his mouth, and then noticed that there was also a companion to the Korean prince Wan and Jun Li Yan did not arrive.
"Wan Hejun let the cold wind blow the night before yesterday, he got the wind cold, and he was lying in bed, and the ancestor had already called the imperial doctor to treat him." Pu Zhuo ate all the meatloaf, wiped his mouth and replied.
"Looks like he's not as good as me." Guangxu laughed again after hearing this, "I also let the cold wind blow at night, but it's not like him." ”
"Uncle Huang's dragon is strong, we can't compare." Pu Zhuo replied respectfully.
"By the way, you say, Master Lin came back from Vietnam this time, can you bring back a Vietnamese prince to play with us?" Guangxu seemed to have guessed something and asked.
"What Uncle Huang said is that Master Lin will definitely be able to." Pu Zhuo replied without thinking.
At this time, neither Pu Zhuo nor Guangxu would have imagined that their speculation was about to become a reality.
"Master Lin, come back quickly! I really miss you......" Guangxu looked at Kunming Lake in the distance, which seemed to him to be like the sea (he had never seen what the sea looked like yet), and his words were full of attachment.
It's no wonder that the little emperor is like this, because for him, Lin Yiqing is the first person who really cares and loves him.
Since the little emperor ascended the throne at the age of four, he has grown up under the majestic eyes of the queen mother, and for so many years, there has not been a day when he has not felt the pair of terrible eyes behind him. When he was a child, he sat on the emperor's throne, but there was a curtain drooping behind his back, and the queen mother sat behind the curtain to "listen to the government", looming in the air, so that the courtiers listened to her. And not to listen to the emperor. At that time, he was young, and he listened to everyone the same. He is too young to be an emperor, and his aunt, who is more than thirty years older, no, the queen mother. Preside over everything. She was behind the curtain, but the order was always in front of the throne. Every time he went to court, he was carried on the throne, and the soles of his two boots were aimed straight at the old faces of the ministers, and what they said, he did not understand at all, and in his boredom, he had to do a pastime, among them. Whoever was speaking, he leaned back on the back of the big chair and pointed his boots at whomever he could, so that he could not see the old face that was talking, and then the tips of his boots pressed against each other, and he secretly separated the heels, and then looked through the triangular space in the heels of his boots to see the mouth that spoke. Every mouth is different. But every rotten tooth is the same. He compares every mouth and tooth and smiles secretly. He didn't dare laugh out loud. Great aunt, no, the Queen Mother is sitting behind her. When he was young, he often heard what "aunt fingers", and later learned that it was the order of the queen mother - "Yi Zhi"; I often heard about "fish fat", and later I learned that it was his little emperor's own order - "edict". He slowly discerned that "Yi Zhi" was real. But the "decree" is false. He didn't understand these purposes, but Master Weng taught them. Master Weng came to class when he was six years old. I remember that the first class was to learn to write the name of Master Weng - "Cabinet Bachelor Weng Shuping", it was so difficult to write! Why does a person's name have so many "mouth" characters? He laughed as he thought of the open mouth between the seams of his boots when he had been in court. But. Master Weng immediately warned him that to be the emperor, he should be solemn, and asked the emperor not to laugh......
In this way, he grew up in a court without a smile, and all day long others kowtowed to him, and he kowtowed to the queen mother. He is sandwiched between the poles, and between the poles there is only himself. All day long, there are layers of human walls and palace walls. The walls of people are all kneeling, so low; The walls of the palace are all standing, and they are so high. He has no playmates. I want to play by myself, but there are always "them" next to me who are taking care of and peeking, and in the end they are not playing by themselves, but as if they are on the stage. In front of the stage in the palace, he accompanied the queen mother to listen to the play, he is now playing by himself, being watched by them, what is the difference between listening to the play in the palace? The difference is that his audience is even smaller than Liu Qiansan.
He really likes to watch Liu Gansan's play, and he remembers that when he was accompanying the Queen Mother to listen to the play, he still had to stand next to him and be respectful. One day, Liu Gansan was singing a play pretending to be the emperor, and suddenly gaged on the stage, and when the actors on the same stage laughed at him as a fake emperor, he sat there and suddenly said: "Don't look at me as a fake emperor, I still have a seat to sit on!" At that time, because everyone was happy with the play, Liu Gansan's remark actually amused the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was very happy that day, and when everyone was on and off the stage and everyone gathered around her to please her, she actually smiled, slowly raised her index finger, and said, "Then give our real emperor a chair!" Since then, he has a seat when he listens to the play.
The Empress Dowager is his mother's sister, and the Empress Dowager's own son, Emperor Tongzhi, died at a young age and has not yet lived past the age of twenty, so he found his nephew to be the emperor. Soon after he was born, the Queen Mother asked his mother, "Did you have any locks?" His mother's reply was: "The Empress Dowager, no." The minions are not ready yet, just waiting for the queen mother's grace. "The so-called lock is a lock plate that hangs around the neck of a newborn child. The people of the Central Plains believed in the impermanence of human life, and in order to make the child grow up safely, they locked him with a symbolic lock plate so that he could not walk back from the road he came. The Queen Mother gave him a gold lock plate, of course, he never dreamed that this aunt who gave the lock piece was the one who really locked him all his life!
After the death of Emperor Tongzhi, the biological son of the Empress Dowager, according to the ancestral system, the "ordinary generation" of the later generation should be used as the successor, and the emperor has no heirs, and the crown prince should be elected from the younger generations. However, the queen mother refused, because in this way, she herself was a generation higher and became the queen mother, and then engaged in "listening to politics through the curtain", it would not be a system. Therefore, she did not set up an heir for her son, but found a nephew to be the emperor. At that time, there was a royal history Wu Ke to read and fight for the "corpse admonition", but it was useless. Her brother-in-law, Prince Chun, heard that his son had been elected to be the emperor, and knew that there was a great aunt who was not easy to do, so he was frightened on the spot, and he knelt in front of the eldest sister-in-law and kowtowed and cried, but he couldn't save the situation. It is a privilege to think that his son has become an emperor; But when he thought that the family relationship would be broken from now on, the flesh and blood would be separated, and the future father-son relationship would become a monarch and minister relationship, he felt a hidden pain. The day the ceremony began, when the four-year-old son left home forever. It was one night, and the four-year-old boy was woken up and carried into the Luanyu sedan chair. The only familiar face he could see was his nurse, which was allowed by the Queen Mother.
Nursing mothers are a specialty of rich and noble families. According to the custom of Middle-earth, the biological mother conceived in October and gave birth to a son, whose physical strength had failed. The real work of breastfeeding mainly depends on more suitable experts, and the so-called experts are nursing mothers. Most of the nursing mothers come from the farmer's family, the farmer's woman is close to nature, healthy, and has a good character, and the condition for choosing a nurse is to find a child who has just given birth to a child for two months, and the appearance is good and the milk is thick. After choosing, the two parties agreed that the nurse would not be allowed to go back to her home or visit her child, and she would eat a bowl of elbows without salt every day. Eli produced milk, and as time went by, she was no longer a woman, but a cow. Many peasant women, in order to save their families, are willing to come out to be nurses. A common phenomenon is that she fattened other people's children and her own. But they often starved to death. When the children of a wealthy family grew up, she was able to go home to visit her relatives. Often found her own children. It has been gone for many years.
When the four-year-old boy was carried into the sedan chair, the nurse stepped back, got into the sedan chair on one shoulder, and entered the palace at the end of the honor guard. She and the little emperor depend on each other. However, the little emperor was a little better than she - in the public court, his relatives, mixed in with the crowd, could be seen secretly; But what about her loved ones. But forever in dreams!
The palace is called the Forbidden City. The heavenly palace where the emperor of heaven lived in Middle-earth is called the Purple Palace, purple is crape myrtle, that is, the North Star, the North Star is located in the middle of the sky, bright and surrounded by stars, symbolizing the king's arrival. This is how the Forbidden City was built. The Taihe Hall is located in the center, condescending; The emperor's bedroom Qianqing Palace, the queen's bedroom Kunning Palace, Qiankun positioning; Rijing Gate in the east, Yuehua Gate in the west, the sun and the moon are separated; Twelve Palaces, twelve hours. Several groups of palaces behind the six palaces in the east and west, surrounded by stars. From heaven and earth to the sun, moon and stars, the true son of heaven is set off with the palace in this way.
The Forbidden City is in the daytime, it is the jade characters of Qionglou and the light of the glass; But as soon as the sun sets and the twilight is boundless, layers of terrifying atmosphere attack people. At that time, the people who entered the palace to do business were gone, and the mournful cries of the eunuchs came out in the silent Qianqing Palace: "Take the latch, put down the money and food, the light is small-heart-", with the aftermath of a person, the echoes of the eunuchs on duty sounded one after another in all corners. This kind of call makes the entire Forbidden City, starting from the center, with the sound waves spreading out bursts of ghostly energy, which is creepy.
When the little emperor first entered the palace, he was only four years old. But the creepy feeling is day and night. In the daytime, he always saw the majestic aunt, no, "Daddy Emperor", she wanted him to be called "Daddy Emperor", which made him creepy; At night, he saw the shadows of the majestic palace, the remnants of the corpses that served him, the eunuchs who were neither male nor female, and the ghosts everywhere, which made him creepy. His only reliance in fear was his nurse, but the nurse was not always around, and later, after he was weaned, the nurse disappeared from the Forbidden City forever.
He was lonely again. It wasn't until he was six years old that Master Weng came to teach him to read.
Master Weng is as kind as an old farmer, he is very kind to him, and his teaching is also serious and responsible, but his teaching is too boring and boring, and he is endorsing books all day long. Although he knew that his hard work to endorse books could make the Queen Mother happier and treat him better, those books were really a headache.
Sometimes, he is really very envious of Lin Boliang and Lin Yutong's brothers and sisters, who can still be with their biological mother from time to time in the palace, and they don't have to read (but now they have to read).
The queen mother is indifferent to her majesty, but she is very fond of this pair of little brothers and sisters, and sometimes even makes him a little jealous.
At that time, he didn't know that Lin Yiqing, the father of this pair of little siblings, would one day become another teacher of his own.
And since he met Lin Yiqing, his realm has begun to develop in knowledge. Lin Yiqing's relationship with his teachers and students is deep. From Lin Yiqing, he knew himself, Middle-earth, and the world beyond Middle-earth. There are not only those palaces in the world, but also the earth, the gods, and the world outside the palaces.
After having Master Lin, he never starved again, and under Master Lin's meticulous care, his illness gradually decreased, and his body became stronger day by day. Even if Master Lin went to Vietnam, he did not forget to arrange for his family to send him all kinds of delicious and nutritious things to replenish his body.
This Master Lin has never put on a show like Master Weng, and when he is with him, there is always constant laughter.
Master Lin's mouth can always tell all kinds of good stories.
What Master Lin taught him was always funny and easy to understand, and after he heard it, he never forgot it.
And Master Weng's boring courses have become vivid and clear when they reach Master Lin's mouth. Master Lin also brought himself all kinds of good-looking picture albums to explain to himself what Master Weng only asked him to memorize, so that in Master Weng's place, his schoolwork also made great progress, of course, Master Weng would not know what was going on.
But somehow, Master Weng always has inexplicable hostility towards Master Lin.
Although Master Weng had never said anything bad about Master Lin in front of him, he could still feel that Master Weng hated Master Lin.
As he gets older and his knowledge increases, he can understand whether it is "aunt finger" or "fish fat", and of course, there are twists and turns.
And since Master Lin went to Vietnam, the impeachment of him has not been broken. (To be continued.) )
