Chapter 260: Three Divisions
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the three teachers of the prince were finally appointed on the sixth day of the second month of the eighth year of Jianning. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Emperor Jianning and Li Qingmu's favorite candidate for the crown prince and master is the right prime minister Meng Zizong.
Meng Zizong knew astronomy and geography, and was loyal to the court as officials in the two dynasties.
It is only fitting for him to serve as the prince and the prince, and let him teach the prince astronomy and geography in governing the country.
The crown prince and the prince chose a person who was quite familiar to Li Qingmu, named He Qing.
He Qing was the martial champion of Jianning for three years, learned a good martial arts, was familiar with the art of war, and was once named an adjutant to follow the army to the border of Dashun.
After returning to the dynasty, he served under Liu An and was quite reused by Liu An. It's just that he is upright and doesn't get along well with his colleagues.
When the six princesses of Jianning chose a concubine in the fifth year, thanks to the six princesses who did not abandon their low background, they chose to be the eldest concubine of the six princesses, and they were also the only concubines.
This time the crown prince and the prince were elected, and Emperor Jianning's eyes wandered between the generals and the general soldiers many times, and finally photographed He Qing.
Not for anything else, just because He Qing has not joined the camp of any family because of his temperament so far.
On the side of the prince, he needs such a person with an upright character and a clean official career.
The crown prince Taibao chose the chief soldier Liu An. Liu An was a fierce general under Xie Yuanxing in his early years, and after Xie Yuanxing unloaded his armor and returned to the field, Liu An returned to Beijing to become the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
Later, when Emperor Jianning won the world, Liu An's 70,000 imperial forest troops guarding the imperial city played a vital role.
In addition to Liu An's political achievements over the years, the most important point is that Liu An is a real candidate for the Xie faction.
When he is the crown prince, he will not let the prince have any mistakes.
After the three divisions of the East Palace were selected, the next ones to be selected were the children of the official family who accompanied the prince.
These children of official families who grew up with the prince when they were young will become close ministers of the prince after the prince ascends the throne.
Therefore, Emperor Jianning was very cautious and did not make a judgment too early.
On February 20 of the eighth year of Jianning, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Qingmu got up under the service of Wenqing and Zhiliu.
After freshening up and having breakfast, she ordered litmus to bring the prince to her.
The prince was led into the inner hall by litmus, and saw Li Qingmu sitting on a low couch drinking tea, performing a regular palace ceremony, and called in a childish voice, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”
Li Qingmu put down the teacup in his hand and wanted to get up to help, and Wen Qing hurriedly patted Li Qingmu's arm and stopped.
The crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the prince, and Li Qingmu, as the queen of a country, can't mess with the rules in front of foreign ministers and concubines.
Li Qingmu hugged the prince the night before and confessed all night, but she forgot about it at this time.
Li Qingmu looked back at Wen Qing, straightened up, raised his hand lightly at the prince, and said, "The prince is exempt." ”
The prince stood up from the ground with a dark blue robe, came to Li Qingmu's side and said loudly, "Queen Mother, you remember what you said to your sons yesterday. ”
Li Qingmu nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled the prince into his arms, holding the prince's little face to take a closer look.
The enlightenment of the princes of the Great Moon has always been taught by the concubines themselves, learning some etiquette, memorizing some poetry books, and they will not ask for teachers until they are six years old.
The prince was only three years old and had to learn with the teacher at a young age, and Li Qingmu always felt that it was too harsh for such a young child.
Wen Qing glanced at the drip on the side, and reminded Li Qingmu, "Queen Mother, it's almost time." ”
The day before, Emperor Jianning had discussed with Li Qingmu, and after the morning court today, he would summon the prince's three divisions of the East Palace to the Qingxin Palace, so that the prince could recognize the teacher.
Li Qingmu nodded lightly, let go of the prince's little face, let the prince sit in his arms, and told again, "Yu'er, you must remember that when you have the minister and other concubines by your side, you must call your mother the queen mother as you just now." ”
"Mother, I see." The prince nodded obediently, climbed into Li Qingmu's arms and said, "When there is only my father and my mother, I will call my mother." ”
Li Qingmu nodded, and held the prince's soft body in his arms and shook it gently.
As he spoke, Lu Zhi followed Yao Yuan and walked in from outside.
Lu Shi greeted Li Qingmu, got up and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor asks you to bring the prince over." ”
Li Qingmu patted the crown prince on the shoulder and asked him to get down from his lap.
After Li Qingmu got up, he raised his hand to support the beaded flower phoenix hairpin on his hair bun, and after making sure that the makeup was neat with the palace people, he asked Zhiliu to take a water-blue cloak and drape it on his shoulders.
Meng Zizong, He Qing, and Liu An were already waiting in the study room in the Qingxin Palace.
Emperor Jianning didn't look at the excerpts, and was chatting with Meng Zizong, talking about some of Meng Zizong's family affairs.
Meng Zizong bowed slightly, listened attentively to Emperor Jianning's questions, and answered them respectfully one by one.
When a 'Queen Mother' arrived outside the hall, Emperor Jianning was facing Meng Zizong and asked, "Prime Minister Meng, I heard that you had a granddaughter a few days ago?" ”
After Meng Zizong nodded yes, he followed He Qing and Liu Anwei sideways, and bowed slightly to Li Qingmu, who slowly came in from outside the hall.
Emperor Jianning raised his head and watched Li Qingmu come in with the crown prince, and the corners of his mouth provoked a smile.
Li Qingmu's beautiful eyes swept, and the three ministers standing on the side of the dragon case were in his eyes.
The closest to the dragon case was the gray-haired old man. The old man was slightly thin, his face was ruddy, and he had a three-inch long white beard under his chin, and he looked like a well-read scholar.
Standing behind the old man was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he bowed his body respectfully, he couldn't hide the momentum of the horse on his body.
Standing in the last place is a handsome boy who looks dignified and seems to be powerless.
Li Qingmu retracted his gaze and slowly walked to Emperor Jianning's side, and blessed, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
The crown prince standing beside Li Qingmu also performed a standard palace salute, "The son asks his father to say goodbye." ”
"The queen is exempt, and the prince is exempt." Emperor Jianning raised his hand to let Li Qingmu get up and stood up from the dragon chair.
Meng Zizong, Liu An, and He Qing were busy kneeling down to Li Qingmu and the prince, "Weichen see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Prince Chitose. ”
Li Qingmu raised his eyes and saw that Emperor Jianning was looking at him, raised his hand and smiled at the three of them, "No need to be polite, flat." ”
After that, he turned to look at Emperor Jianning, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the concubine has retired first." ”
After Emperor Jianning nodded, Li Qingmu took Zhiliu and turned around and left the Qingxin Palace.
Sending the prince to the Qingxin Hall was supposed to be done by the minions, and Li Qingmu came in person, just to see what the prince's three teachers looked like.
Meng Zizong and Liu An made Li Qingmu very satisfied, and the young He Qing made Li Qingmu beat a drum in his heart.
At such an age, can you afford to take on the position of the crown prince?
"Zhiliu, can you see that young Lord He?" Li Qingmu held Zhiliu's hand, and said softly as he walked towards the outside of Jianzhang Palace, "Does it look like a person with strong martial arts?" ”
How she thinks He Qing is empty.
Zhiliu shook his head, "The slave can't see it, but isn't Lord Wu also young and strong in martial arts?" ”
When Li Qingmu entered the Liuyun Valley to find Wu Yue's poison treatment, Wu Fengtian was only twenty-one or twelve years old, and he looked weak on the outside.
Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak. The Wu family, can others compare?
"Queen Mother, the emperor loves the prince so much, there will be no mistake in choosing Lord He as the crown prince." Zhiliu said with relief.
It's only been February, and the garden is already full of purple and red. In the tea garden, Mrs. Miao, who was dressed in a bright yellow palace costume, and Wen Chongyuan, who was dressed in a lake-green palace costume, were playing with the three princes and the eldest princess.
Princess Celestia is five years old this year, and it's time to be cute. The third prince was young, only two years old, and he was just a toddler.
The eldest princess took the little hand of the third prince, entered the camellia bush under the care of the palace maid, raised her hand to pick a pink camellia, and soiled a pair of small shoes embroidered with apricot blossoms.
Mrs. Miao turned around and saw Li Qingmu coming over with the palace people, stepped forward in two steps, and blessed, "The concubine sees the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old." ”
Wen Chongyuan was watching the eldest princess pick off the camellia with the help of the palace maid, and after hearing Mrs. Miao's words, she hurriedly turned around and bowed down to Li Qingmufu, "The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”
"Mrs. Miao Wen Chongyuan doesn't need to be polite, please get up." Li Qingmu stretched out his hand and helped Mrs. Miao.
This tea garden is the only place for Li Qingmu to return to Guanju Palace from Jianzhang Palace, and recently because of the early tea flowers, many concubines came to watch.
Mrs. Miao stood up with Li Qingmu's gesture, and Wen Chongyuan also stood up straight.
Wen Chongyuan took a few steps closer to Li Qingmu and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the sun is so good today, why didn't you see the prince come out to play?" ”
"Yes, the three princes have been shouting to find the prince's brother in the past two days, and the concubines are still thinking of taking the three princes to the Guanju Palace in the afternoon to greet the queen's mother." Mrs. Miao was also smiling warmly.
Li Qingmu replied with a smile, "The prince went to the Qingxin Palace, and the emperor has something to do with him." ”
The appropriate smile on Mrs. Miao's face has not changed, but the hands hidden in the sleeves are clenched, "The emperor really loves the prince, the prince is so young, he follows the emperor's side to listen to state affairs." ”
Madame Miao knew what the prince was doing when he went to the Qingxin Palace, but now she just asked about it.
Wen Chongyuan covered her lips and smiled, looked at Mrs. Miao and smiled, "Mrs. Miao is really joking, the prince is so young, how can he understand?" ”
"I don't understand it now, but I will understand it when I listen to it." Mrs. Miao raised her eyes to look at Li Qingmu, and said with something in her words, "Just like the queen mother, the queen mother could only listen to and not speak when she first arrived in Dayue, but now Dayue is speaking better and better." ”
Li Qingmu glanced at Mrs. Miao meaningfully, and replied in four or two, "What Mrs. Miao said is reasonable, the prince is talented and intelligent, and he will understand it when he listens to it." ”
Wen Chongyuan looked at Li Qingmu on the left and Mrs. Miao on the right, knowing that none of these two people could be offended by her, she raised the corner of her cherry red lips and smiled, and said, "Queen Mother, Mrs. Miao, the eldest princess is tired after playing for a while, and the concubine chose to take her back." ”
After that, he blessed the two of them and took the eldest princess away.
As soon as the eldest princess left, the third prince suddenly cried and couldn't stop crying, interrupting the strange atmosphere that inexplicably rose between Li Qingmu and Mrs. Miao.
