Chapter 198: Princess's Introduction
"Shi Xiaoshulang, my father agreed! He agrees that I will learn from you, and that I will learn this study of the mind with you, and spread the knowledge of the saints! Princess Runan said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Shi Bufan heard the news, he immediately walked to the harem of Taiji Palace, ready to accept this princess. Li Shimin actually brought the eldest grandson queen over, and this is still Shi Bufan saw the queen again.
"I've seen the Queen!" Shi Bufan took the initiative to greet.
Empress Eldest Sun nodded and didn't say anything more. Now that Empress Changsun is already a queen, she can't be like she was a princess in the past. In the past, when I was a princess, I was just a princess, and it didn't matter if I was casual, so I could say a few more words. But now she is the queen of the world, and her every move is related to the face of the country. Therefore, Empress Eldest Sun was a lot more cautious in her language, and just chose to nod her head. If you talk too much, you will lose, and anyone in a high position understands this, so Queen Changsun has developed the habit of talking less during this time, which is in line with his identity and helps to make her more in line with the identity of the queen of the world.
"Shi Bufan, thank you so much this time! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to persuade my daughter. Now that she's found something else to think about, it's not so painful and sad anymore, and that's good. You have not only healed her body, but also her heart. Li Shimin said.
Shi Bufan greeted again: "I've seen Concubine Gao Shu!" “
Gao Huitong is a member of the Bohai Gao clan, and the Bohai Gao clan is the Northern Qi royal family, and the Bohai Gao clan is currently a celebrity in the imperial court, that is, Zhu Shilian. He was the maternal uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress, and was the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty. Lu Shilian is also a spokesperson representing the Shandong Shi clan, but his personal relationship with Li Shimin is not too close, so he did not get the first batch of reuse. But he is also a member of the Bohai Gao family, this Gao Huitong can directly become the third in Li Shimin's harem from the sword man of the Qin Wangfu, and the Gao family has contributed a lot in the back. Lu Shilian is the first generation spokesperson of the Bohai Gao clan in the imperial court, and Gao Jifu is the second generation.
Of course, Gao Huitong is also the spokesperson of the Bohai Gao family in Li Shimin's harem, and this Li Shimin's harem is not so simple, each has its own representative interests. However, this is not completely absolute, as long as Li Shimin is not deliberately given a political position, then it is fine. Of course, it is not absolutely inevitable that the concubine will have a political position, but as long as you don't overdo it, it can still be tolerated.
"Well, Shi Bufan, you are officially teaching the princess this time. Not only did you save the princess, but you also saved me, and I never thanked you in person. I raised the princess myself, and I haven't made a difference, so she's like my own daughter, and I hope you don't let her suffer. Gao Huitong replied.
Princess Runan's biological mother died prematurely, and she has always been brought up by Gao Huitong. Generally, when the biological mother dies, she is adopted by her husband's other wives and concubines, which is a royal practice. Even some people who don't have biological children have to adopt one, so that they can rely on their old age. It is very desolate for a concubine who has no children in the court, so even if she has no children, she must find a way to adopt a child born to a husband and another woman. Gao Huitong was already twenty-seven years old when he entered the palace, and it is not clear whether he was married before, but the tolerance of the Tang Dynasty court was still very high, and a woman who had married would not affect the reason why she became a concubine. However, Gao Huitong had no children, so he naturally adopted Princess Runan. Although she is not biological, she was also raised by herself, and she is considered an adoptive mother, and it is normal to be extraordinary when she comes to thank her. Shi Bufan not only saved Princess Runan's body, but also saved her heart, so that she could survive confidently. Otherwise, if you are entangled in your own inability to have children all day long, even if your body is alive, your heart will be dead.
"Concubine Gao Shu, don't worry, I will not let the princess suffer, I will definitely teach her well." Shi Bufan replied.
Li Shimin continued: "Read out the book! ”
"Yes!"
"The system said; …… (omitted here), the eldest daughter of Feng Yan is the princess of Changle County...... Feng the third daughter is the princess of Runan County! ”
Shi Bufan didn't expect that at this time, Li Shimin would be canonized as princesses. Many people subconsciously think that the emperor's daughter must be a princess, but this is not the case. The emperor's daughter may not be able to obtain the title of princess, although most daughters will get it, but they cannot call themselves princesses until they get the title of princess. Some daughters get the title of princess relatively early, just after birth. However, some may not even be obtained in their teens, depending on the favor of the emperor or the favor of their mother. Li Shimin has not canonized his daughter as a princess since he ascended the throne, so Shi Bufan calls Li Shimin's daughters either by their names, such as "Princess Lizhi" or simply referred to as a princess. However, it is not impossible to call the princess, because it is a matter of time before and no one will pursue it. Now that Li Shimin is officially canonized, he can officially call himself a princess.
Next, the ceremony of canonizing the princess is actually quite boring, completely tossing children. Especially if it is necessary to be taught by the doctor of the palace teaching, this doctor of the palace teaching is an old thing in his seventies and eighties, and there is obviously not much to teach. The palace doctor was a minor official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was a pure man, and the court system in the Sui and Tang dynasties was much more relaxed than in later generations.
Perhaps many people think that in addition to the emperor and the prince in the ancient harem, there would be no other men, but in fact, this was not the case in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the harem during the Sui Dynasty was full of scholars, not all eunuchs. The Changqiu Temple of the Sui Dynasty not only had eunuchs but also scholars to serve as palace attendants, so there were many foreign ministers in the harem of the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was relatively strict, and the internal service province and the palace province were distinguished, but it did not mean that there were no foreign ministers outside the harem. For example, this palace doctor is responsible for teaching palace people skills in the harem, but his official establishment is attached to the Zhongshu Province, which creates a complicated phenomenon, nominally a person from the Zhongshu Province, but in fact the management party is the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Therefore, in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, it is not that there are no men outside, and some men with specific official positions or special things can also enter and exit the harem according to the situation, but there are not many such people, and the harem of the Tang Dynasty is not as strict and perverted as imagined. So this is also the reason why Shi Bufan can often enter and exit the harem when there is something, and it is not too surprising.
"Princess Changle, I should call you Princess Changle in the future!" Shi Bufan said.
Princess Changle took the initiative to say: "If Shi Xiao Shulang is willing, you can also call me Lizhen!" ”
"Uh-huh!" Shi Bufan nodded and said.
"Okay, then the princess can officially learn the science of mind with you. I hope you can truly help people's hearts, truly let everyone in the world become Yao Shun as soon as possible, and everyone can truly understand their conscience. Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin did not denigrate Shi Bufan's psychology, because Li Shimin was not stupid, he knew that this psychology was an important academic that would help the rise of the poor and break through the ideological blockade of the scholars. Naturally, he will not choose to block it himself, and even need a certain degree of support. This time, he asked his daughter Princess Runan to learn the science of mind, in fact, he also had a little bit of support. Letting your daughter learn the science of mind is actually a way to attack, retreat and defend. Anyway, the daughter is just a daughter after all, and she won't be a prince, so she can shirk it when the time comes. Of course, even if it is just a daughter, it also represents the emperor's attitude and tells the world that the emperor supports Xinxue.
As for the reason why Shi Bufan hoped that the princess would come to learn the science of mind at that time, he also had this idea. With political support, it is much easier to popularize a doctrine. It is not possible for Li Shimin to directly order the promotion of Xinxue at present, and the academic system of the scholars is still under great pressure, and Li Shimin knows that being too anxious will inevitably make the scholars rebound. However, letting his daughter learn Xinxue also represents an attitude, which can let the world know that this Xinxue is a promising one, which helps to unite people's hearts through academics.
"Princess Runan, have you thought about it in the future, are you going to take the initiative to continue your studies for the saints?" Shi Bufan asked.
Princess Runan said, "I won't waste it here, I think I can do better than others." I don't believe it, I'm not even as good as a farmer in the countryside! I'm sure I'll be more useful than them! ”
Princess Runan was actually stimulated by Shi Bufan's agitation method, she didn't think that she was inferior to Tian Sheweng, this was her idea to do this. Obviously, she thinks that she is more important and valuable than Tian Sheong, so how can she survive in this world? Otherwise, even if the Li Tang royal family has been supporting her, she may not be happy.
Many people think that it is good to be supported, but when you are unconditionally supported one day, you may not be happy. Perhaps some ignorant people envy people with disabilities and think that it is good to be able to be supported by others and not have to do things. But when you are truly disabled, you will also realize that it is undignified and looked down upon to do so. The royal family of the deceased country may also be supported, but it does not mean that he lives with dignity. Therefore, being supported often means a loss of dignity, and if you are not able to do things on your own, you will be supported by others, and if you only enjoy and have no income, then you will inevitably live without dignity in the end.
Don't say anything about the rich second generation and the second generation of officials, they may be able to rely on their parents to get the right to be supported. But once they lost their father, they were dead. Even if they seem to have a lot of people to please them, it is not to give them face, it is just to save face. This dignity is not their own, but their Lao Tzu, those second generations who have nothing to do and are supported, in fact, there is no dignity in fact. Once the elders in his family do not have power and wealth, then his so-called vanity will collapse in an instant, because his vanity and dignity are built on grains of sand.
If you truly experience this kind of undignified offering, I am afraid that you will know how uncomfortable such a day is, and the inner torment is the most terrible. So Princess Runan, if she doesn't find a value in her life, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
Shi Bufan just found the value of life for her, which can be regarded as allowing her to regain her self-confidence.
"Well, Shi Xiancheng, I agreed. In the future, I will learn from you, and I will continue to learn for the sake of the saints. Princess Runan replied.
Shi Bufan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, how about I take the princess out of the palace next?" I plan to arrange for her to go to school with ordinary children, and live outside the palace for a long time to experience the people's feelings, what do you think? ”
"Let the princess out of the palace? Living outside the palace for a long time? Empress Eldest Sun was surprised.
Obviously, it is obviously inconceivable to let the princess out of the palace and even live outside the palace for a long time.
"Well, I agreed. As long as she can be happy, she doesn't have to be sad. Li Shimin said.
Poor and rich daughters, Li Shimin, as an emperor, may be strict with his son, but he rarely is strict with his daughter, which is also the practice of emperors in previous dynasties. Because the prince or even the crown prince is the heir, he must have strict talent and ambition to struggle, so naturally he can't let them live too comfortably, and finally lose his fighting spirit, and he can't even defend Chengdu. But daughters are the opposite, especially royal daughters don't have to do too much, as long as they live well, don't be too harsh, and marry well as royals in the future.
As for Li Shimin, he had long planned in his heart that Princess Runan would not be allowed out in this life, because Li Shimin knew that since Princess Runan was infertile, no one would be willing to marry. Even the emperor could not forcibly marry a princess who could not have children, so that he would be forced to die, but he would be hated to death.
So Li Shimin still felt a little guilty in his heart, since this is the case, let his daughter be happy, let her go. In the face of his daughter, Li Shimin is still a loving father as much as possible, because his daughter doesn't have to bear too much, and she doesn't have to bear any family business, so they naturally don't have to do so many things, just live a good life and do what they like. Anyway, the royal family will not lack her to eat, there is no need to ask for so much.
"Princess, come with me, you go with me to study first, so that you can study and read with your companions next to you. In this way, we can truly understand life, so that we can truly study the learning of the saints, and then spread the knowledge of the saints. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan took Princess Runan to the palace, and Shi Bufan knew that Li Shimin would definitely send someone out to protect him, which was inevitable. Otherwise, if a princess has no one to protect outside the palace for a long time, it is probably impossible to be safe. However, Shi Bufan is also taking advantage of this princess Runan, which is of great benefit to himself. (To be continued.) )
