"Lord Wang, another official has come to visit you at the door, do you want the old slave to wait for you to change your clothes and prepare?"

Next door to the Xinyang Mansion, in a temporarily renovated compound, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, was instructing his daughter in the garden pavilion to instruct his daughter's piano skills, and suddenly a eunuch came in to report.

The eunuch was very discerning and knew how to be measured, and did not ask "whether the prince wants to meet", but only said "whether to ask the old slave to serve and change clothes",

At first, it seems that he is not asking his master for decision-making, but asking him what he has to do, and he seems to be very diligent.

Second, it also subtly conveyed a psychological hint that "the prince will definitely be inclined to meet this visitor", which seems to be unnecessary to ask.

However, Zhu Changshu has been dealing with the eunuchs around him for decades, so he doesn't know his subordinates. He was only stunned for a moment, and then he broke the point:

"Lone didn't say he wanted to see him, what are you doing blindly with this minion? How many times have you said it, don't fall behind the handle of befriending civil and military ministers! When it reaches the ears of His Majesty, it will cause trouble in vain! ”

Zhu Changshu is an extremely timid and fearful person, when his father died, he was only six years old, and there were originally several elder brothers, but they all died young, and died in front of his father, so it was his turn to succeed to the throne.

He has never been trained to be a good prince since he was a child, let alone anything else. My biggest hobby is to play the piano, read Buddhist scriptures, and play with all kinds of ancient bronze incense burners.

At most, there is one more collection of famous incense, but that is only an extension of the hobby of playing the piano and the incense burner, which is to burn incense and burn incense to worship the Buddha.

No, at this moment, he was sitting on a stone pier covered with brocade mats, while reprimanding the old eunuch, and at the same time he was also using his own hands to scrape the agarwood incense into a gilded Boshan furnace in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then gently compacted it with tools.

The old eunuch was reprimanded, and he was afraid that his prince would offend people, so he had to say a few more words euphemistically:

"The old slave knows the prince's hardships, but it is Shen Shuren, the governor of Huguang, who is here today. As soon as he came to the door, he said that he had met King Fu on the way when he entered the city, but he didn't see you, the prince, and he was worried that the prince was ill. ”

Zhu Changshu listened to this explanation, and his attitude eased slightly, the other party came with a reasonable basis, and it was a bit rude to refuse directly.

At this moment, he frowned, it turned out that his daughter Zhu Yuchan next to him played a wrong technique, which was still a very low-level mistake, which made Zhu Changshu unbearable and changed the topic:

"How many times have I taught! The song of "Gull and Heron Forgetting the Machine" is first indifferent in the heart and abandons cunning, so that all kinds of heaven and earth are naturally close. At the end of each note, only seek to be clumsy, no need for fancy ornaments.

Like you just now, you can't help but sweep and show off your skills, how can you get the essence of indifference! This tranquil incense is white! Go back and transcribe the "Fingering Commentary"! Make a deeper impression! ”

It turned out that the reason why Zhu Changshu was angry was because his daughter played the wrong tune, which was nothing else, it was one of the fifty ancient songs that he had interpreted in detail in his book "Guyin Zhengzong", "Gulu Forgets the Machine".

The daughter even has such a poor grasp of the tunes that his father has written and interpreted in depth, no wonder he hates iron and steel.

And this ancient song of "Gull and Heron Forget the Machine" comes from a "Liezi. Allusions in "Tang Wen":

There was a man who loved seabirds very much, and he went to the beach every day to play with the birds, and over time the seabirds became close to him. One day his father said to him: I heard that seabirds are not afraid of you, so you can catch one and come back for me to play. The next day the man went to the beach, and no seabird dared to fly down to play with him.

Many people in later generations have actually heard this allusion, but they don't know the name.

Zhu Changshu interpreted this piece in "Guyin Zhengzong", emphasizing that this piece is to show that "if you are indifferent to fame and fortune and do not care about the world, then everything in heaven and earth will think that you are harmless and close to you", so the fingering must be ancient and orthodox, neutral and peaceful, and all bells and whistles should not be used.

If you give birth to the heart of fame and fortune and the heart of possession, you will not get the natural goodwill of all things in heaven and earth.

Sometimes, when Zhu Changshu plays this song himself, he can't help but think: Lone is such a waste, it is said that all things in heaven and earth should know that lone people and animals are harmless and there is no threat, so as to be close to Lonely and be kind......

……

However, at this moment, he just couldn't help but make up for it there and sighed, Zhu Yuchan, who is usually very serious about learning the piano, no longer obeyed, but helped the old eunuch persuade together:

"Father, in this world, is it useful to have an indifferent heart and renounce cunning? If humans and animals are harmless and pose no threat to people, they will not invite disaster.

That day, the vassal king of the world is much more threatening than you, why did Li Zicheng chase us all the way, and they have been chasing and killing for two or three months!

I think "Liezi" is a lie, the seabirds are willing to come down, there must be conch clams on the beach to eat, Li Zicheng chasing us, it's the same. ”

Zhu Yuchan is still young, she originally received her father's education, which made her pure and indifferent, and she didn't feel wrong.

But the bitter life of more than two months of relative displacement also caused a lot of doubts and wavering in her young heart.

How can there be a truth in the world that can avoid disasters and disasters by being indifferent to fame and fortune? The calamity is simply found by itself, and it should be counterattacked!

"You...... How dare you talk back! Zhu Changshu was directly attacked by his daughter with the spear of the son and the shield of the son, and counterattacked with the interpretation of "Guyin Zhengzong" and "Liezi", which was also a speechless for a while.

In addition, he has a cowardly temperament and can't do anything to directly punish him, he is such a daughter, where is he willing to fight, just a popular person.

Zhu Yuchan didn't think that her father was angry, and when she saw this, she felt a little guilty, and rubbed her father's chest with a silk handkerchief, muttering:

"The child didn't want to be angry with his father, but he just felt that it was too unrealistic to blindly ignore the world like this, and expect to rely on indifference to avoid disaster in this troubled world. There are brave and brave generals who can defend us against humiliation, why not encourage it.

Like Uncle Zhou in Kaifeng, he directly did not shy away from taboos, opened a warehouse in the name of the palace, and encouraged the soldiers to fight with the thieves and defend the fiefdom, isn't it?

We only dare to scatter the silver and the army, for fear of being retaliated by Li Zicheng, what is this called? We don't have confidence in ourselves, so how can the soldiers have the confidence to fight to the death? ”

Zhu Changshu was said, and blood was dripping in his heart every word, but he also knew that his daughter was right, because he was too timid and always afraid of retaliation.

"That's it, it's up to you. We are not befriending the civil and military, but we have been driven like this, and we have no choice but to imitate King Zhou to boost morale, and Your Majesty should not blame it. ”

Thinking about this truth, Zhu Changshu also felt that it had been delayed for too long and was too rude, so he simply asked the old eunuch to serve him and solemnly change a set of dresses, and then went out to meet Shen Shuren.

It's easy to explain to people in this way: when Shen Shuren came just now, the prince was bathing and changing clothes, which made him wait for a long time.

Zhu Yuchan was beside her, and when she saw that her father agreed, she said happily: "Father is wise!" The boy also came along to meet that Shen Futai. It is said that he is clever, and the child is a little curious. ”

Zhu Changshu frowned again while changing clothes, feeling that his daughter was always tidy: "You are a girl's house, how can you see outsiders?" ”

Zhu Yuchan was a little lost, but she couldn't find an excuse, so she had to give up.

After she helped her father to the main hall of the house, Zhu Changshu straightened the crown behind the screen, and then she appeared.

And Zhu Yuchan hid behind the screen, not getting an inch, but she didn't leave.

Zhu Changshu glanced at his daughter, and only smiled helplessly and wryly, not stopping this level of nonsense.

"Xiaguan Shen Shuren, meet His Royal Highness King Lu." Shen Shuren had been drinking tea there and waiting for a long time, and when he saw the prince, he immediately got up and saluted. The greeting gifts he brought had also been collected by the eunuchs in advance.

Of course, this level of worship will not take out the gift in front of the host's family, and will directly hand it over to the next person. The other party will not look at it in person, and only ask what they received after the guest leaves.

He is not a poor money-bearer, so who cares about gifts.

Zhu Changshu looked Shen Shuren up and down, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's really terrifying, I have long heard that Shen Futai is a rare young talent in the world, but I didn't expect it to be so young."

I am a great country, and I rely on you juniors to carry it, which is really ashamed. Tsk, Yunwen Yunwu, heroic and handsome, is really a talent. ”

Shen Shuren: "The prince has an overreputation, these are just given by his natural parents, what a way." ”

Zhu Changshu also realized that his focus was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, what is there to say about these, Zi said, judge people by their appearance, lose Zi Yu, Shen Futai is peerless in talent, and he must not want to be valued by his appearance."

I have long heard that when Yang Ge Lao was still alive, he relied on your wisdom to break the thief, and played with the thief Zhang Rebellion, and when he was alone in Wei Hui, he stole the talents of Mu Xian's nephew. Now, I should be grateful for the life-saving grace of my nephew. If it weren't for the Huguang official army going north to rescue, Lone and King Fu and King Zhao would have been all white bones. ”

Shen Shuren: "The prince has a good reputation, and the lower officials have also heard Huang Zongzhen relay the praise of the prince from Guide Liang Futai and others, and they all say that the prince is a rare virtuous king who is indifferent to fame and fortune, but he is righteous and squandering money.

When you return to Germany, you can be as stingy as the King of Zhou, giving up millions of dollars to help the army and motivate the soldiers. But he is more indifferent to fame and fortune than King Zhou, and he doesn't leave his name even after scattering his wealth, and he really admires the lower officials.

Don't dare to hide it from the prince, in order to be loyal to the court and get things done, the lower officials occasionally have to be in a hurry to do things, post money to be officials, and rely on the tens of millions of furniture accumulated by the family for several generations as maritime merchants to subsidize military salaries and rewards.

But the lower officials really don't have the mind of the prince, and the lower officials have posted money, which is all for fear that people will not know the honesty and favor of the lower officials. It is really admirable to hide his merits and fame like the prince. ”

Zhu Changshu was also blushing when Shen Shuren said this, and at the same time, he was still very happy in his heart.

The reason why he sent money without leaving his name was, of course, because he was afraid that he would be retaliated against by Li Zicheng afterwards. But being said by Shen Shuren to be indifferent to fame and fortune seems to be right.

And the politeness of him and Shen Shuren was naturally heard by Zhu Yuchan behind the screen.

She came to eavesdrop, originally just curious,

Second, it was also because she kept an eye on it, and recently found that after Zhu Yousong, the brother of King Fu, learned that Shen Futai was coming, he jumped up and down and wanted to take the initiative to visit and make friends.

Zhu Yuchan was afraid that Zhu Yousong had any bad intentions, so she also wanted to see what kind of person Shen Shuren was, whether his character was decent, and whether it was possible to be co-opted by Brother Fuwang.

At this moment, after listening to the preliminary conversation between the other party and her father, Zhu Yuchan didn't hear anything wrong, the other party was very polite, neither humble nor arrogant. After all, she is only a fifteen-year-old little girl, and she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, where can she hear how many people's feelings and sophistication.

However, hearing that his father repeatedly lamented that Shen Shuren was unexpectedly young, handsome and handsome, and was a rare young talent in the world, Zhu Yuchan couldn't help but have a temporary idea and a new curiosity.

She has been locked up in the palace since she was a child, and she has no brothers, except for her father, before fleeing from Wei Hui, she has never even seen a complete man, only the eunuch who served.

After leaving Wei Hui, in the past two months, the soldiers have been in chaos, but I have seen some generals and soldiers along the way, and I was very curious at first, after all, these are men.

At this moment, when she heard her father say that the other party was young and tall, she secretly poked a hole in the gauze curtain on the edge of the screen, and took a peek to peek at it, wondering what the younger generation of civil officials should look like.

"How can a civil official be so tall? I'm afraid it's six feet, and the generals aren't so tall, right? Sure enough, he looks so heroic, is this kind of person really from a two-list jinshi? But it looks so white, it should be a reader. ”
