Chapter 8 Skillfully respond to the emperor's laughter
"Seeing that you are also clothed and fed, what are you sighing for?" Zhao Haochen in later generations taught high school history, and those students were about the same age as Zhu Yijun in front of him, and he thought he was still very experienced in dealing with them. Seeing that the initial adventure temptation worked, he completely relaxed - he knew that he had guessed correctly, the Wanli in front of him was the same as Kangxi in Jin Yong's "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he had everything, but he didn't have a friend who could take off his mask and talk about his thoughts.
"What do you know, little brat?" Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Mo, and asked tightly, "It's you, what are you doing here on such a cold day?" ”
"Look at the beauty," Chen Mo said truthfully, and then sighed: "It's a pity I didn't see it!" ”
"Oh?" Zhu Yijun really became interested: "Tell me, maybe I ...... We know each other, too! ”
Zhu Yijun said that he missed his mouth, Chen Mo heard it clearly, his eyelids jumped, the hands in his sleeves clenched subconsciously, and twisted his face in the direction of Ciqing Palace: "I don't know you either, you are a foreigner, you don't even understand the rules here, people are in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, can you know them?" ”
"You-" Zhu Yijun's face turned red, he took a deep breath of cold air, and after successfully suppressing his anger, he found that the little fire in front of him was becoming more and more interesting: "Is it okay to look down on people less?" Do you know who we are? The nephew of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and the cousin of the Long Live Lord...... You look at the direction of Ciqing Palace over there, and think that your sweetheart is the palace daughter in that palace, and Ciqing Palace is where we often go......"
"We won't tell you if we know," Chen Mo interrupted Zhu Yijun, suddenly turned around, his face was surprised, as if he had just reacted, glared at Zhu Yijun and said, "What did you say just now?" You, you are ......" He slapped his forehead: "We know, you are Wu Qingbo's eldest grandson Li Mingcheng......" (Note) Speaking of this, he stopped abruptly, covered his mouth with his hand, and behaved just right, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have entered the wrong industry in the future, if he was engaged in film and television, he might have won the Oscar Golden Man a long time ago.
"Scared, aren't you?" Zhu Yijun laughed, his eyes were crooked like crescent moons, and he leaned on the railing like Chen Mo, tilting his head to look.
"Let's not, we're not, don't be afraid," Chen Mo also leaned on the railing and looked at Zhu Yijun, and after a while, he raised his hand in frustration and surrendered: "Okay, okay, we're wrong, we don't know Mount Tai with our eyes, I'm sorry for you, your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and he won't tell others about today's events, right?" ”
Chen Mo's pitiful appearance amused Zhu Yijun sneered, but it was only for a moment, and then he looked straight, raised his chin, and said proudly: "That depends on your performance...... Tell us first, which yamen you are from, what is your surname, don't try to fool us, there is a red mole between your eyebrows, whether you tell the truth or not, you can find out as soon as you ask. ”
Chen Mo did have a red mole between his eyebrows, which grew in the middle of the two eyebrows, faint, like a woman drawing a flower with an eyebrow pencil.
Chen Mo made a look that counted you as powerful, but in fact, he was overjoyed, and he told him about his situation roughly, and he didn't even hide the matter about Aunt Qi of Ciqing Palace, and finally said cautiously: "Let's ask you something, don't tell anyone about this matter, especially Aunt Qi......"
In fact, he is not afraid of others knowing, the harem is lonely and bitter, and there are many eunuchs and palace maids (eunuchs and palace maids have a husband-and-wife relationship), both inside and outside, they have long been accustomed to it, and it is not a major event that violates the ban. said this just to further deepen Zhu Yijun's impression of himself - the history of the Ming Dynasty recorded 100,000 eunuchs in the harem, although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but the huge number of eunuchs in the harem is true. With so many eunuchs, it is much more difficult to get ahead than those students who are admitted to the Jinshi, and today's coincidence is definitely a very rare opportunity for him, of course, he must make full use of it.
Zhu Yijun didn't follow Chen Mo's words, but said with a smile: "I heard you say that Chen Ju gave you a table called 'Shaoyan', let's see you didn't understand what he meant." Also, when you say the rules of the big house, we don't understand it, 'less words, less words', then Chen Ju has high hopes for you...... Forget it, seeing that you are not very old, you don't understand this when I tell you. ”
Seeing Chen Mo's ignorant expression, he couldn't help but get up a little excitedly, stretched his body, and said, "Let's go to Ciqing Palace with something to do, let's go first, and see you later," he said and took a few steps, and suddenly smiled: "Siqi's girl has a straight face all day long, cold, I don't know what kind of expression it will be to let her know that someone secretly likes it?" Hahaha......"
"Your words don't count!" Chen Mo said loudly.
Zhu Yijun smiled more and more happily, and said as he walked: "Did we promise you?" Which ear do you hear that we are telling you to come? ”
"You-" Chen Mo was speechless, and watched Zhu Yijun walk farther and farther away with a smile, until his back was blurred, and then he turned around and walked towards Gaofu.
Chen Mo walked back slowly, but he didn't see Zhang Whale turning out from behind the tree and looking at his back, which was so meaningful.
The Inner Library, also known as the Inner Library, the Inner Library, and the Celebrant Supervisor's Library, is an institution dedicated to educating eunuchs.
At the beginning of the establishment of the regime of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in view of the disaster of the eunuchs of the past dynasties, it was stipulated that "the ministers are not allowed to read and write", but with the political development of depriving the officials of foreign dynasties in order to strengthen the feudal imperial power, the emperors of later generations had to rely on the assistance of the people around them to deal with state affairs, so the eunuch institutions continued to expand, and finally formed a huge scale of the 24 yamen. Because the inner palace supervisor and the celebrant supervisor need to be responsible for the "imperial survey" and the inner court documents, it is inevitable to need a certain amount of cultural knowledge. Therefore, since the beginning of the Yongle period, the Ming court began to assign some foreign court instructors to educate eunuchs. Subsequently, the imperial court became more strict with the vassal kings and courtiers, and its dependence on eunuchs became more and more serious, thus further strengthening the training of eunuchs. According to Liu Ruoyu's records, the Inner Book Hall was founded during the Xuande period, which was first taught by Chen Shan, a scholar, and later appointed by Cichen (an official of the Hanlin Academy).
The inner study hall belongs to the master of ceremonies, and enters from the west gate of the master of ceremonies in Xinfang Street, and there are more than a dozen simple and tall pine trees to the south, and under the pine trees is the gate of the inner study hall. The statue of the holy master Confucius is enshrined at the door, and the couplets on the left and right sides of the door read, "If you have not reached the wall of Confucius, you must work hard to walk a few steps; I can't do the family business, and I leave it aside. "The handwriting is dripping, the silver hook is painted in iron, I don't know whose handwriting it is.
Chen Ju led Chen Mo into the gate, first rushed to the Holy Ancestor to salute, and then led him to the north to teach the gentlemen to rest. At the beginning of the winter day (seven o'clock in the morning) in the inner study hall, the morning reading was just dawn, the hour was still early, the teacher who taught the students had not yet come, and the room was empty.
"Today is the day you come to study in the inner study hall for the first day, the father who should explain last night has already explained, here is another word to tell you, in your class, there are two people you should pay more attention to, one is Zhang Decheng, the other is Li Tianyou, both of them are Zhang Whale's righteous sons......"
Chen Mo's heart froze: Zhang Whale? A few days ago, he learned that Zhang Whale was not only the pen of the celebrant supervisor, but also the admiral of the inner study hall. His righteous son is really not easy to provoke.
Note: The Ming Dynasty learned from the lessons of its predecessors and was very strict with its relatives, and most of the concubines were born in small families. Wanli's foreign family is an example, his maternal grandfather Wu Qinghou's family is poor, and he knew that his daughter was named the imperial concubine, so he got the title of earl. But the so-called earl is just an honorary officer in the army, except for the fact that he can be in the forefront of various ceremonies held by the imperial court, he has no special rights, and even has a very low salary, which is not enough for the family. One of the reasons why Li Wei worked as a broker in the warehouse in the capital was this. He has a son, who is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, but his identity is a eunuch in the Ouchi, the so-called "eldest grandson" Li Mingcheng, but he is just a stepson.
