In ancient times, many emperors chose to become monks in order to get rid of the shackles of the unauthorized Fujiwara family from the imperial court system, and established a separate central system in the name of the emperor.

However, when the imperial court began to decline and no longer held actual rule, there were fewer and fewer ordained emperors - for fear that their treatment would be reduced or that they would no longer be needed. Naturally, today's emperors have the same concerns, because the emperor is not the ruler of the country in the legal or legal system, and it is very likely that he will be overthrown.

The restoration of the emperor has never happened in history, but Nijo Yasudo has long been very dissatisfied with the reality of the heroine's coming to the dynasty, so he doesn't mind creating a precedent at that time.

Then, Nijo Yasudo carefully folded the Emperor's handwritten letter and put it in his arms, and then bowed to the Emperor again.

"Your Majesty continue to rest in peace, the minister will retire first."

"Aiqing, take care." The Emperor waved his hand lightly, his eyes were full of ardent expectation, "The national fortune can take such a turn, it all depends on Aiqing's loyalty and efforts, and I also ask Aiqing to continue to be consistent in the future, and also take care of yourself, I will never forget Aiqing's merits one day when I return to the country." ”

"The minister must bow down and die!" Nijo Yasudo replied excitedly as he slowly walked back out of the room.

After the right minister had left, the Emperor took his pen and continued to write on the paper, until noon, when he stopped his pen, stood up with the written copy, and left the room.

He walked out of his lodgings and was surrounded by his attendants to the Emperor's daily residence.

Although it is an imperial palace, because of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, to be honest, the furnishings are very simple, and there is not much luxury. However, the princess and the royal family are immersed in thousand-year-old culture, so they are also a little more literal.

The Jo Palace was built very late, by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in recent decades, but because it was built in imitation of the Imperial Library of the Heian period, the architectural pattern is deliberately retro, so it is a little more antique than the other buildings in the Imperial Palace. Its interior has a total of fifteen rooms, which are divided into three columns, with three rooms to the west of the first column, divided into upper, middle, and lower sections.

These three rooms are the deepest part of the hall, separated by a door depicting frescoes, and are generally used for ceremonial purposes, and are not usually used, and in the upper section of the highest-ranking room, the east side is also separated by a tent to create a small space, which is called the 'Sword Seal Room', which displays the grass pheasant sword and magatama of the three artifacts that have been passed down from generation to generation in Japan (the other artifact, the Yaga Mirror, is stored in the virtuous place in the Chunheung Hall).

As one of the means of deifying oneself, these three artifacts have been endowed with a high degree of mystery by the royal family for thousands of years, and it is rumored that these three artifacts were destroyed in the chaos of the Genping Rebellion, the Northern and Southern Dynasties Rebellion and the Yingren Rebellion, and the current three artifacts were forged by the people behind them - but in order to maintain their own sacredness, the imperial court naturally would not admit similar rumors.

Of course, the Emperor didn't come to see the three artifacts, he walked to the innermost column and went directly to the room opposite the upper section. There are four rooms on the opposite side, which is where the emperor usually lives.

The second room of these rooms was the place where Emperor Koko studied art, and since it was the time for the emperor to study with the emperor, it was also here that the Emperor was in charge of teaching Emperor Koko.

When he saw His Majesty the Emperor suddenly arrive, the gray-haired and long-bearded Hanayamain Temple hurriedly saluted His Majesty the Emperor, but Emperor Koko was writing with his heart, so he did not notice the presence of his father.

Dressed in a yellow robe, she wrote stroke by stroke according to the notebook on the table, and her slender hair was scattered behind her shoulders, and she looked like she was buried in the stacks of books, which looked quite interesting.

Hanayama Yuan decided to ask her to salute the Emperor, but the Emperor waved his hand to stop the other party, and then walked gently to her side.

Emperor Koko was confused, and only cared about finishing the calligraphy in front of her, she frowned, and wrote very slowly, as if the brush in her hand had a thousand weights. However, in the eyes of the Emperor, the characters are already in shape, although they lack that elegant look, but the pen power is already in place, and the structure is quite calligraphy.

It's just that the content is a little wrong no matter how you look at it.

Under the gaze of the Emperor, Xingzi put the pen away slightly, finished writing a 'li' character, and wrote a paragraph of the Fati. Then, she put her pen down and stretched, letting out a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished some difficult task.

However, just as she was still feeling quite complacent about her preliminary results and wanted to call the teacher next to her to evaluate it, the paper in front of her was suddenly withdrawn.

She looked up and saw that it was not the Great Authority who had taken the poster, but the Emperor.

"Father!" She hurriedly wanted to salute, and then the Emperor pressed his hand on his shoulder.

"No need." While comforting his daughter, the Emperor picked up the book and read it carefully.

"The Han Emperor is heavy on the country, and Yuyu has been unable to ask for it for many years. The Yang family has a girl who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir. The Emperor read it expressionlessly, until the last sentence, "The nine-fold city is full of smoke and dust, and thousands of people ride southwest." Cuihua swayed and stopped, and went west for more than 100 miles out of the capital gate......"

"Your Majesty's handwriting gets better and better." Hanayama Yuan walked to the side of the Emperor with a smirk and said to him respectfully.

"Words are good...... the Emperor was still expressionless, then raised his head and stared at the other party coldly, "But, why did you ask Xingzi to write this?" ”

"Your Majesty?" The Emperor's bad attitude made Huashan Yuan Ding's heart a little panicked, but he didn't understand why His Majesty was angry. "This ...... This ......"

"It's too inappropriate to let a young child learn to write such a long poem, and it's also "Song of Long Hatred!" The Emperor frowned and said to him, the anger in which was palpable. "Aiqing, I heard before that you were not keen on teaching Xingzi, but I didn't expect you to be so perfunctory! Xingzi's education is related to the country, if you don't want to take on this heavy responsibility, then just tell me directly, I can choose another meritocracy! ”

"Your Majesty......" Huashan Yuan was almost at a loss to be frightened by the anger of the Emperor, and his whole body trembled, "Your Majesty...... The minister has no such intention! It was the Empress Dowager who told the minister that His Majesty's knowledge had improved, so she asked the minister to start teaching Chinese poetry...... That's why the minister chose this poem to teach His Majesty. ”

Since the Heian period, the Japanese have always admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty and admired the poetry of the Tang Dynasty very much, and almost everyone will recite the poems of those well-known poets. And among these poets, the most popular and admired poet is Bai Juyi.

In the "Thousand Years of Good Sentences" edited by the Heian scribe Oe Weishi, more than 1,000 poems by Chinese and Japanese poets were collected, and Bai Juyi's works alone accounted for more than 500 poems, almost half of them. In the poetry collection "He Hanlang Yongshu" compiled by Fujiwara Gongren, a famous literati minister at that time, a total of nearly 600 poems were included, of which Bai Juyi's poems amounted to 139. Literary works such as "The Tale of Genji" and "Pillow Grass" that came out during this period can be seen everywhere in the quotation of white poems, especially the "Song of Long Hatred", which became the main axis of the Tale of Genji.

Since the Heian Dynasty in Japan, the literary world has admired Chinese poetry, and whenever literati or nobles get together and have a banquet, most of them will recite Chinese poetry to show their talents. For most beginners of Chinese poetry, it is difficult to make good poems without any reference materials, which requires an example or dictionary for reference and imitation, because his poems are popular to the extent that "the old woman can understand", whether it is the literati and aristocrats who already love his literary talents, or the ordinary ordinary people, they can achieve elegant and popular appreciation, and white poetry has naturally become the best learning material in the eyes of people.

In comparison, Li Bai is too elegant, Du Fu is too heavy, and Bai Shi, which is quiet and sorrowful in the plain, is more popular with Japanese literati and aristocrats.

Among the white poems, the most respected and loved is of course "The Song of Long Hatred", this bleak and mournful long poem has deeply resonated with these princes and nobles for thousands of years, so when he received the order from the Queen Mother to continue teaching Chinese poetry, it was logical that he chose the Song of Long Hate to teach Emperor Xingzi.

He never imagined that he would provoke the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the Emperor because of this.

Although in this era, the power of the imperial court has long been declining, and the power of the current emperor cannot be compared with the previous emperors, but for such a minister as the Hanayan Academy, His Majesty's anger still has enough deterrent power.

His whole body was trembling, and he looked like he wanted to defend but didn't dare to say more.

But Xingzi glanced between the two of them for some reason, not understanding what was going on, why his father was angry with Quan Da Nayan as soon as he came over.

However, she didn't like the old-fashioned and somewhat stern confessions, so she was a little happy about it.

"Even if the Queen Mother gives such an order, you can't choose poems and texts to teach at will!" The Emperor still looked angry, "There are countless good poems in the white poems, and there are many that are more suitable for the current Xingzi than the long hatred song, don't you know how to choose another?!" ”

"Minister...... The minister confessed...... "Huashan Yuan finally couldn't bear the pressure, and he lowered his head.

"Forget it, go to the Queen Mother and confess yourself," the Emperor flicked his sleeves and motioned for him to leave, "I know that you are all used to idleness, and you regard Professor Xingzi as a chore, and you think about coping with things all day long, but if you don't pay attention, I will teach Xingzi myself in the future." ”

"The minister is guilty, and the minister retires......" Huashan Yuan decided to retreat tremblingly, and then left the Chang Palace.

To tell the truth, in fact, as the emperor said, he didn't like this errand in his heart, and he usually came to accept it, and it was a good thing to be the emperor's teacher, but Emperor Xingzi, as a woman, obviously had to give way in the near future, and being her teacher would not bring him any benefit, it was just a waste of time and energy. Since being assigned this task, Hanayama Temple has only felt miserable, and if he can take this opportunity to avoid this errand, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

When he had left with a mixture of panic and joy, the Emperor looked back at Emperor Koko, who was kneeling at his desk, and his expression was much more relaxed.

"Xingzi, are you scared?"

Xingzi shook her head, indicating that she was fine, but apparently she was still a little scared.

"It's okay, my father is just worried about you......" The Emperor stretched out his hand and touched her head with pity, "I really didn't expect them to teach you so carelessly, I have just said that I will live here in the future, and your homework will be taught by me myself, and I will definitely be able to teach you all the knowledge and skills, so that you will not be inferior to any previous emperor." ”

Hearing such affectionate words from his father, Emperor Koko finally laughed. "Thank you father, Xingzi will definitely study his schoolwork seriously and never let his father worry about it again."

She was not happy to get a new teacher who taught art with heart, what really made her overjoyed was that her father, who had been very indifferent to her since she was a child, was so affectionate to her this time, not only to teach her art in person, but also to live with her. There is nothing more important to a little child than the love of their parents.

"Good boy." The Emperor gently hugged his daughter, and then took out the calligraphy he had just written and put it on the table, "You should look at these calligraphy first, start with copying, you have a problem with calligraphy, the penmanship is too heavy, not enough to float." ”

"Yes!" Xingzi nodded immediately, then picked up the pen and waved it on the paper, and his earnest energy was actually a little more than just now.

The Emperor was always smiling, occasionally commenting on the Queen's hair, and occasionally stroking the Emperor's hair as a sign of encouragement. However, it seems that the scene of filial piety and happiness between father and son has more indescribable meaning in the context of today's arrows.

The Emperor wanted to live here, of course, not just to teach his daughter to write.

He wants to hold the three artifacts that represent the emperor's daughter and the ruling power of Japan, whether he carries them to escape when the time comes, or uses the emperor and the three artifacts as a call to mobilize people's hearts and protect his position, this is the most useful tool.

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, in order to resist the Ashikaga clan and the Muromachi shogunate, Emperor Go-Daigo escaped with the three artifacts, and after the Muromachi shogunate escaped, he also set up another emperor to fight against him. Having learned the lessons of his predecessors, he must first live in the place where the women live and store the three artifacts, so that he can quickly escape in the appropriate world, and the shogunate must not be able to appoint another emperor in a hurry.

The father and daughter were happily writing the notebook, and at this time, the Empress Dowager Tokugawa Kazuko, who had received the news from the Hanayama Temple, also brought the female official from his palace to the Chang Palace.

Because Huashan Yuan was determined to look trembling and trembling just now, and also said that the saint was angry, she was also a little scared, for fear that Xingzi would also suffer from the pond fish because of this. When I came to the room and saw this happy scene, I finally let go of the heart of the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty...... Why did you get angry just now? She cautiously walked up to the Emperor and took his hands around him.

Because she had just given birth recently and gave birth to a royal daughter, her body was a little weak, her face was pale, and her voice sounded a little weak.

"You're here?" The smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and then he handed the "Song of Long Hatred" bookmark that Emperor Xingzi had just visited to Kazuko, "These people, Jiao Xingzi is also too perfunctory!" How old is Xingzi, and she is still a woman, but they actually called her Lin Chang Hate Song! It's really incomprehensible. ”

Kazuko was still a little unsure, so she silently took Xingzi's notebook and then read it carefully.

Although she was born in a samurai family, Kazuko has also received a traditional cultural education since she was a child, and because she has been in Kyoto for a long time, she is not completely ignorant of literature, so Bai Shi is naturally not a problem. She looked at it carefully and felt that her daughter's handwriting was already very good, and she immediately felt relieved.

The arrangement set by Huashan Courtyard is not unreasonable in her opinion, and it is nothing for Xingzi to contact such a masterpiece as Chang Hate Song earlier. However, since the Emperor was angry about this, of course he could not express such thoughts.

"Your Majesty is right, this is indeed a bit inappropriate." She bowed her head slightly, but soon smiled again, comforting the Emperor, "But you see, Xingzi's handwriting is getting better and better, and it is really worthy of everyone's careful teaching." ”

"You don't have to say good things for them, where have they taught them their hearts? It's just that Xingzi is talented. The Emperor was still frowning, "Also, you can't just blame everything on others, you also have to ask about Xingzi's education yourself, otherwise how can she learn well?" ”

"Quan Da Nayan is indeed at fault, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me. However, Quan Da Nayan is also kind, although he has done some wrong things, but he still asks His Majesty to forgive him. The Empress Dowager apologized in a low voice, "We will teach her more carefully in the future." ”

"You don't understand it so much, how can I rest assured!" The Emperor sighed, "I thought that after I became a monk, you would be able to take care of everything, but I didn't expect that even Xingzi's education would not be able to do well!" The Emperor is the hope of the world, how can you treat it so lightly! Well, since that's the case, then I'll work hard again, I'll stay here these days, and I'll be personally responsible for Xingzi's education, and if you don't do anything good, I'll do it myself. ”

"Your Majesty...... Is this true? Kazuko's eyes widened, and for a moment it was hard to believe what she was hearing.

"Of course it's true!" The Emperor said angrily, "With you people here, I can't even take a break, it's really unreasonable!" ”

"Too ...... That's great......" After being stunned for a moment, Kazuko suddenly blurted out.
