Chapter XXIV: False Accusations
The days in the palace were dull and slightly boring, and every day was almost the same repetition. Zhang Wenyi, who takes Jinyang to work, rests at sunrise and sunset every day, and lives a comfortable and regular life. Jinyang's upbringing Mama is not as proficient in court etiquette as Mama Yang, but her knowledge is really extensive, and she almost doesn't know anything that a woman should know.
Zhang Wenyi often brings over the socks, underwear and other work made for Li Zhi, and asks her grandmother for guidance if she can't do it well.
Mama's surname is Tao, and it is said that she is also the little lady of a large family, and she is the only one who survived when the family was in trouble. At that time, she was still young and was sold to the Tang State Mansion at that time. Later, Li Yuan selected some accustomed servants and maids from his family to enter the palace, and Mama Tao entered the palace like this.
Some people rumored that Mama Tao and Emperor Gaozu once gave birth to a child in the spring breeze, but they didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. Anyway, Mama Tao's classes are more relaxed and pleasant, she rarely reprimands and is more patient, so Jin Yang and Zhang Wenyi still like to listen to her classes.
On this day, Zhang Wenyi cleaned up for Li Zhi and was about to say goodbye to Li Zhi, when suddenly the eunuch Xiao Li Gonggong next to the emperor arrived, saying that the emperor passed on the princess of Jin to see him. Zhang Wenyi glanced at Li Zhi suspiciously, and saw that he was also at a loss. Zhang Wenyi hurriedly reviewed his recent actions, and felt that there was nothing out of line, so he gave Li Zhi a comforting smile and went with Xiao Li's father-in-law.
In the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, Li Shimin met with Zhang Wenyi, and as soon as he saw Li Shimin, he said: "You have done a good thing recently!" ”
Zhang Wenyi was ignorant and didn't know what he had made a mistake there, so he could only bow his head and listen to the training.
Li Shimin talked for a long time, but Zhang Wenyi never understood the essentials. In the end, Li Shimin wanted to carry out the cane punishment, and this Zhang Wenyi finally understood.
To put it bluntly, cane punishment is taking off pants and spanking, which was a great insult to women in ancient times. The woman who has undergone this punishment either wipes her neck or hangs herself, and although this punishment is not death, it is a mortal punishment for the victim.
Zhang Wenyi was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Father, the son has been following the rules and abiding by women's morals since he entered the palace, I don't know why he was punished like this?" ”
Li Shimin was stunned, remembering that this child was not from a high background, and she couldn't understand Wen Crepe's drop of the book bag. The tirade just now is in vain. I had to ask her in the vernacular: "Do you know the seven sins." ”
Zhang Wenyi was also stunned when he heard this, what is so serious that it is about the crime of seven outs! But Zhang Wenyi also settled down. Although someone secretly made a trip, it was a pity that the crime was too big, and Zhang Wenyi asked himself that it was impossible to make such a mistake no matter what.
After settling down, she still answered Li Shimin's question: "I know." Childlessness, fornication, ignorance of uncles, tongue-in-law, theft, jealousy, and evil diseases are the seven sins. ”
Li Shimin asked: "Since you know the sin of the seven outs, you dare to commit it knowingly." ”
Zhang Wenyi prostrate on the ground and said: "After thinking about it, the concubine has never done anything out of the ordinary since she entered the palace, I don't know which of the seven crimes she has committed?" ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Do you have anything to eat by stealing oil?" ”
Now Zhang Wenyi finally understood what she meant, she frowned, and asked rhetorically: "The lamp oil is the thing allocated by the Inner Mansion to Princess Jinyang?" ”
Li Shimin is the founding monarch of a generation, he has experienced a hundred battles in martial arts, and he has even done the Xuanwumen Incident, what other conspiracies and tricks in this world can hide from him.
As soon as Zhang Wenyi asked, he immediately understood what was wrong. The person who complained did not say where the lamp oil was taken from, and Li Shimin concluded according to common sense that since it was the theft of the lawsuit, it must have been taken from elsewhere.
Tricked! Li Shimin snorted coldly in his heart. Some people don't give up and still want to do things.
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenyi, who was prostrate: the daughter of a businessman, except for her appearance, none of them met everyone's standards for beauty. But she takes care of her family and can keep the plain, which is a quality that most of the so-called ladies do not have. The reason why the harem is wonderful is because no one regards this place as home, and no one can keep this blandness.
A woman who can keep the plain is the best candidate for the princess, and Li Shimin can't help but be proud of his decision.
Li Shimin said lightly: "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the people are suffering, don't be greedy for appetite and waste, go back and read "Women's Training" a few more times. After saying that, he waved her hand and motioned for her to retreat.
There is no need to play the board, Zhang Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and responded with low eyebrows: "Yes"
After a while, Li Shimin saw that Zhang Wenyi was still lying on the ground, and then he remembered where she was lying down, and he couldn't see him waving. So he hurriedly said, "You should step aside."
The time has entered late autumn, the temperature has been much lower, and Zhang Wenyi has been lying on her stomach for a long time, and the cool air has already reached her body through her clothes.
Hearing "You and step down", knowing that the emperor would no longer pursue it, he hurriedly got up and saluted the emperor and hurriedly retreated. When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned back to the room and knelt down.
Seeing her go and return, Li Shimin frowned and asked a little impatiently: "What else is going on?" ”
Zhang Wenyi didn't dare to look up, she was afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to say it when she looked up and saw Li Shimin's serious fighting face. She said: "Sister Jinyang's body is weak, and the concubine dares to allow the princess to dine alone." ”
Li Shimin secretly sneered: I thought she could endure the dullness just now, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, is this going to invite credit?
Dissatisfied with Li Shimin's appearance on the surface, he was kind and pleasant, and asked: "Why is this?" ”
Seeing that Li Shimin was in a good mood, Zhang Wenyi's courage was also a little bigger. She said: "Sister Jinyang should have been born with a weak body, so she needs to eat some light meals. The food in the large kitchen is greasy and salty, so I asked for a separate small stove. ”
Li Shimin smiled and said in a calm tone: "It turns out that you are still a well-hidden famous doctor, ah-"
Zhang Wenyi heard Li Shimin say this, and her tone was very flat, but the words were not like that. But now that the words have been spoken, I have no choice but to continue talking.
So Zhang Wenyi said: "The concubine didn't dare, but when the concubine was at home, there was a doctor who said the same thing to a similar patient." ”
Li Shimin asked in a mocking tone, "What is the result?" ”
Zhang Wenyi said: "I didn't listen to the persuasion and finally died." ”
Li Shimin was furious: "So the doctors in my Imperial Doctor's Department are all mediocre? ”
Zhang Wenyi raised his head and argued: "People are selfish, if I were a Tai Doctor, I would definitely be able to move forward bravely if I was sure of a good cure, and if I was not sure, I would naturally retreat." Jinyang has congenital heart and lung deficiencies, don't say that the imperial doctor will not all be Bian Que and Hua Tuo, even Bian Que and Hua Tuo have incurable diseases! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Wenyi suddenly remembered that the other party was the emperor, and he forgot about this stubble in excitement. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, what if Li Shimin is angry and drags her out and beheads her?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenyi couldn't help but weaken her legs, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine has no form, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”
In fact, what Zhang Wenyi said just now is reasonable and well-founded, and analyzes human nature to the fullest. Li Shimin was stunned: Is this what a seven-year-old child can say? Don't say seven years old, twenty-seven years old may not be able to tell, is it someone who teaches it?!
Looking at Zhang Wenyi, who was kneeling on the ground with a panicked face, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile secretly: It seems that this child's true temperament is a little wild, but the heart of a child is rare.
Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Wenyi and said, "If you don't take it as an example, I won't punish you this time." ”
Zhang Wenyi was about to retreat, but Li Shimin said at this time: "Is there any other request, if there are still put forward." In the future, remember to inform me of something first, and don't make your own decisions. ”
Zhang Wenyi responded obediently, "Yes." ”
The hot water bottle took advantage of Li Shimin's good mood, and Zhang Wenyi put forward a request to make a hot water bottle. She wasn't sure if this thing could be made in ancient times, but she brought it up with the mood that it was better if it was better or not. was almost vetoed by Li Shimin, who felt that there was already a hand stove and a heater, so there was no need to use this so-called hot water bottle.
Zhang Wenyi explained that the hand stove and heater use too much charcoal fire, which is easy to catch fire, Li Shimin felt sorry for his daughter after all, and finally agreed to Zhang Wenyi's request.
When she got her hand, Zhang Wenyi found that this was a small water bladder, and she was helpless to find that she was actually very stupid, and she worried about it for several days in vain.
There are a total of six of these things, namely Jinyang, Zhang Wenyi, Li Zhi, Li Shimin, Yuan Niang and Qin Qiong, Zhang Wenyi also specially made a cover for each hot water bottle, and the girl used a cotton sleeve, which was embroidered with a very kawaii cartoon embroidery. The men use it more plainly, but they are made of fur, which is more comfortable and warm.
The sleeves of the ancient people were wide, and the hot water bottle with the sleeve could be put on the hands and covered with sleeves, which looked very much like a normal meddling standing, a very formal and respectful way of standing, but the hands were warm, and Li Zhi used it with a smile.
Since Li Zhi and Zhang Wenyi's dormitory generally only went back to sleep at night, Zhang Wenyi distributed a part of the charcoal allocated to them to Jinyang. All they had to do was heat up the house when they went back at night, so they could wash up smoothly.
