Chapter 41: Master's Choice
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 518
Time flies, and the little nieces who were still childish when Wei Changying passed the door have grown up one after another, and they have all reached an age where they can negotiate or be able to get married. The big house and the second room have to start worrying about these things.
The two children in the third room are still young, and it stands to reason that they don't have to worry about them except to raise them. But after the autumn, Wei Changying also added something to his heart: Shen Shuguang should officially go to school.
He is five years old this year, and he was forced by his father Shen Zangfeng to enlighten him in advance last year, and now he has a certain amount of homework every day. And now the homework is still very deliberate because of his young age. But next year, when you turn old, it will definitely be different. At that time, Shen Shuguang, as the eldest son of the third room, will definitely not be like this, taught by his father, and his father will lead the troops out, it will be his mother, Huang, and grandfather, who is empty, who will teach.
It is necessary to ask Hongru to give him a lecture seriously and carefully.
The problem is that it's not easy to find this Hongru now.
Fengzhou Wei, Jiangnan Song, and Jinxiu Duanmu are all scholars of the past dynasties, and Wei's is one of the leaders. According to Wei Changying's role as the daughter of the Wei family, his son's teacher in literary affairs is, of course, the priority of his own clansmen. For example, his younger brother's teacher, the famous man in the sea, Wei Jiao.
It's a pity that the two places are separated and the roads are not open yet. Otherwise, if Wei Zhenghong has free time, there is no problem in teaching his grandson.
Even if it is Wei Changfeng, it should be a ...... by now
And among the clansmen of the Wei family who are close to the imperial capital, they are originally headed by Wei Yu in terms of knowledge and identity.
If it is the Song family, Song Yuwang and Song Zaitian are now a little miserable and miserable, and they can't be counted on at all. Other Song family ...... Well, for example, those who have been writing to ask Taishi to return to power, but Wei Changying doesn't want to hire them.
Duanmuqin's Duanmu family is a good candidate, but he is not available now, because the Taishi is old, and he doesn't want to give power to the young new monarch, so he naturally needs the help of his children and grandchildren to share his worries - in fact, Duanmu Xing tightly controls the government, not all because he likes to play with power, but although Shenbo is the emperor, he really does not have the ability to take care of the Great Wei, especially the current Great Wei.
How can he say that he is only in his twenties now, and he has never even been to the court before ascending the throne, let alone has experience in handling political affairs. He is not a natural master, he has insisted on many things since he ascended the throne, and he thinks that he is both maintaining the dignity of the royal family and benefiting Li Shu, but in fact, he can't take care of this end.
In this world, under Duanmu Xing's control, he can still survive for a few days, and it is really hard to say if he leaves it all to Shenbo.
Let's not talk about this, continue to talk about the candidate of Shen Shuguang's enlightenment teacher.
If you don't ask for it, it must be a scholar clan, and there are two people in Shen Zangfeng's staff who can rest assured that they are able to make people feel at ease-Nian Jiao Xue follows Shangguan Eleven.
However, learning is okay, and the character of the former is ...... Wei Changying, who had just comforted the dewdrops, would not be relieved to hand over his eldest son to him to teach! The temperament of the latter...... Thinking about Mr. Shangguan who was even shyer than Erba, Wei Changying sighed deeply, as a person who had seen Shangguan Eleven in person, she couldn't imagine how Shangguan Eleven would teach her son? Most of them will raise their sleeves to cover their faces and answer shamefully, and they dare not enter the class...... Besides, Shangguan Eleven is still working in Yanzhou with Shen Zangfeng.
…… In short, Wei Changying couldn't find the right person after thinking about it, but the days passed day by day, and it seemed that the New Year was coming, Shen Shuguang was born in March, and his birthday would be celebrated in a few days after the beginning of spring. While she consulted her in-laws, she told her husband in a letter.
When it comes to the future of the eldest son, Shen Xuan and Mrs. Su have not yet given an answer, and after Shen Zangfeng received the letter, he immediately sent his pro-satellite night to send two letters back.
Only one of the two letters was addressed to Wei Changying, and she was asked to forward the other letter to Zhang Luoning of the Gyeonggi Chang clan - this Zhang Luoning was Shen Zangfeng's literary teacher for his eldest son.
was reminded by him, Wei Changying remembered that there was such a merry talent in the imperial capital.
Of course, the talented man had the word romance in front of him, and Wei Changying always felt that he was not very at ease, so he took her husband's letter and showed it to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su agreed: "Why did you forget the eldest son of the Zhang family?" This young man became famous, and there is no vanity under the so-called fame, and he has real learning. And he is good friends with Feng'er, not to mention, his demeanor and demeanor are quite scholarly, and it is not suitable to be Guang'er's master. ”
Wei Changying said euphemistically: "When my daughter-in-law just passed the door, I heard that this Zhang Gongzi has many confidants, will he be too busy to teach Guang'er?" ”
"That was a few years ago." Mrs. Su said disapprerovingly, "You have been in Xiliang for the past two years, and you probably didn't inquire about the Zhang family after returning to Beijing, so I don't know." As early as the time before you passed the door, Zhang Dagongzi suddenly broke off contact with Fengyuechang, and it is said that his mother's advice has been listened to by him. Three years ago, his mother died of illness, and Zhang Dagongzi was very sad, and since then he has been living in a simple house, and he has no filial piety, and he rarely interacts with outsiders...... Now the Zhang family is worried that he has no intention of getting married! ”
Wei Changying said unexpectedly: "There is such a thing? ”
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Su said, "So you don't have to worry that he will neglect Guang'er's schoolwork because he is addicted to sex like before." What's more, I guess the reason why Feng'er asked Guang'er to worship him as a teacher was also because he was worried that he had been depressed and unhappy because of his dead mother in the past two years, and he refused to mourn, and wanted to use Guang'er's innocence and liveliness to relieve him of some sorrow. ”
When her mother-in-law said this, Wei Changying was immediately relieved, so she sent someone to prepare a generous gift and brought her husband's letter to the door.
At this time, Zhang Luoning's reputation in the imperial capital had faded because of his filial piety and deep simplicity. According to those who were sent, the place where he lived was far less crowded than it had been. As for the matter of being Shen Shuguang's teacher, he hesitated for a moment at first, and after reading Shen Zangfeng's handwritten letter, he asked the person who sent the letter to stay in the main hall for a while, and he went to the side house to meditate before agreeing.
However, after he agreed, he was also very dedicated, and the next day he sent someone over and said: "I heard that Sun Gongzi in the house already knows a little about writing, and my son-in-law wants to take a look at the lessons that Sun Gongzi has learned first, so that he can know how to teach in the future." ”
After Wei Changying found out, he was busy collecting the words that Shen Shuguang had learned and the explanations he had listened to, and sent them to Zhang's Mansion in different categories.
After Zhang Luoning watched it for a few days, he had a rough idea in his heart, so he concentrated on preparing for class.
At the beginning of November, half good and half bad news came from the south: the good news was that almost all the Siamese who had invaded Great Wei had been beaten out of Wei territory; The bad news is that Zezhou is surrounded by the Qingzhou Legion, but it has not yet been captured.
In order to expel Siam, the Qingzhou Army used a lot of troops and people, and the court support obtained by the Qingzhou Army could not be compared with the Xiliang Army and the Donghu Army, so whether it was a victory or an emergency, there was no way not to cry and complain about the shortage of baggage and ask the court to find a way.
This is the south side.
The most important thing, once something happens, it will cause the imperial capital to be in danger of being pointed to the north of Donghu by the soldiers, according to the report of Tanma, although the ceremony of the Rong people's sacrifice to the sky is over, but the royal tent has signs of competing for the throne - the third prince who led the troops to invade the Great Wei accused the demon of descending grass, uh, the reason for the anger of the heavens is because the eldest prince previously opposed the army.
It is said that although the Great Khan of Rong is still in the prime of life, he does not have many sons, and the youngest child, the fifth prince, is now seventeen years old. In this way, the five princes have all grown up, and those who have the heart to the throne do not need to wait and see, and they can be prepared.
This third prince is an example, he led the army to attack before, and took advantage of the rebellion of the servants of Xinzhou in the Great Wei Dynasty, and killed the Liu family's troops like a mountain, galloping through several cities overnight, and plundering countless people. Although later, because of the Demon Descending Grass, the retreat was more hasty, and many of the looted things that could not be taken away could only be discarded at will, but the previous defeat of the Liu family also allowed him to accumulate a great reputation among the Rong people.
Now it's about trying to kill the elder brother first.
Hearing the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief......
Even if the Rong people will definitely continue to attack in the future, at least they can have a respite for a while.
So the crowd turned their attention back to the south.
The new monarch Shenbo knows all about these court affairs, but none of them can call the shots. Whether it was taking advantage of the situation of the Rong princes competing for the throne to send surprise soldiers to attack the king's tent, or to make the Qingzhou army fight to Siam like the one more than ten years ago, to besiege Wei to save Zhao, and force the Siamese army in Zezhou to continue to defend the city...... These ideas that Shenbo came up with a painstaking thought, Taishi and the others frowned and listened, and left after a perfunctory word, let alone adopted, from the look of the ** naked said that the new monarch was too young and did not know the affairs of the court, and the idea was simply ridiculous......
Shen Bo saw it in his eyes and was angry in his heart, this kind of distress, he had no one to talk about, so he went to the harem to ask the Empress Dowager Deng for peace, and confided in the palace people after waving away.
Empress Dowager Deng understands better than him: even if the Deng family is added, it is not the opponent of these Taishi people at all. Shenbo is not like the first emperor, with a loyal and critical courtier like Gu Xiaode to protect him, it is very easy for Taishi and these people to abolish him.
For the position of the queen mother that she easily obtained, and in order to continue to torture the Gu family in Hongzhou, the Empress Dowager Deng had to enlighten him bitterly. In the end, he persuaded him to accompany his eldest son Shen Lang more.
Shen Lang is the son of the Deng family, the niece of the clan who was recommended to Shen Bo by the Empress Dowager Deng when she was still a concubine.
After Shenbo succeeded to the throne, he issued his wife Wei Lingyue as the queen according to the system, and wanted to give the Deng family the same position as her aunt, only under the queen. But this Deng family is very humble, and refuses to accept it, saying that his aunt was only a concubine when he was the emperor, and he was shallow in learning and shallow in virtue, how can he be worthy of sitting in the position where his aunt sitted? So I was only willing to take the position of concubine.
Because of this, Empress Dowager Deng treated her very considerately, and now because Shenbo is still in filial piety, it is not good to go to the concubines of the palace. Empress Dowager Deng deliberately took Shen Lang to her knees to raise her, so that father and son could see each other, so as not to keep Shen Bo filial piety for a long time and forget his love with Concubine Deng Shu.
was reminded by the Empress Dowager Deng that Shen Bo is now also used to teasing Shen Lang when he goes to Huishu Palace to see the Empress Dowager Deng. This little prince was born in the second half of last year, and now he is two years old, which is the most fun scene. is Shenbo's own birth again, so naturally how cute he looks.
But when Shen Bo was diluted a little gloomy by his son's laughter, he listened to the palace people's announcement: "Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, and Taiwei jointly transferred the Xuanjia guards in the Imperial Forest Army to send Huoxian County!" I've already passed the news and I'll leave in three days! ”
Shen Bo's face turned blue all of a sudden! Shen Lang, who was held in his arms, was young, although he was not sensible, but when he saw his father, who was smiling and talking to him a moment ago, his face was hideous, and he was also frightened, and he cried with a wow......
