Chapter 14: A Day in the East Palace
When Qiu Yun heard the crown prince say this, his heart suddenly became chaotic again.
Yang Ting didn't know her, and she didn't know what kind of person it was.
But she is familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of her,
The ears hear kindness, and the eyes see gentleness,
Rather than going to an unfamiliar person's house, it's better to feel at ease here.
Especially when you have just faced the threat of death, the need for safety and stability in your heart obviously exceeds the material need for what you eat and what you use.
And she must repay this great favor no matter what.
So before the prince really went to implement it, he hurriedly asked for help:
"Your Highness, the slave and maid are from a poor background and dare not climb high. Besides, as Gonggong Liu said just now, His Royal Highness has a life-saving grace for me and Dongyu. Although Qiuyun does not understand the way of the sage, he also knows the truth of reciprocation from the spring. Therefore, please think twice about Your Highness. ”
Zhu Houzhao believes in this.
Because she has no reason or motive to lie.
"Oh, if you don't want to, forget it."
"Your Highness."
"That'...... Let's go make a cup of tea. ”
Qiuyun knew that His Highness had accepted him, and his heart was slightly settled.
"Yes."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and stopped thinking about the things he couldn't do.
In the afternoon, when a light rain fell from the sky, he returned to the temple. And don't let people close the door, just watch the raindrops in the sky under the eaves, and listen to the clatter of the branches and leaves in the flower bed.
has not officially read yet, and the days in the East Palace are a little boring.
However, Zhu Houzhao is not a person who likes to be lively, he used to like such rainy days, listening to the sound of the rain to read, listening to the sound of the rain to fall asleep,
Or cook your own meal, or watch a movie with a snack in your arms.
That quiet time always makes him feel comfortable,
It wasn't until I grew up that I started to take on more responsibilities and deal with more things. The noisy city is extremely incompatible with his preferences.
In order to live, he almost tore himself apart.
Now under the sky five hundred years ago,
He's back to his childhood,
Although the responsibility of being a prince is heavy, people are not machines in the end, and they must always have their own space.
Tidy up, tidy up, and get back to work.
Zhu Houzhao asked people to move a rocking chair at the door of the hall, and he lay down on it, because it was windy, so he covered it with a blanket, just in time to see the rain curtain outside.
"Liu Jin, I remember that you can read and write, right?"
"Go back to Your Highness, recognize some."
"Good. The Four Books and the Five Classics will not embarrass you, find a simple history book. Read it to me. ”
Liu Jin thought to himself, His Royal Highness's request is really novel.
"I don't know, which history book does Your Highness want to hear?"
"I... I want to hear the story of Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong. ”
The vitality of the same dynasty began to slowly wane, and a minister with the emperor's support for a single-minded change of law ended up in failure. He couldn't help but get to know it in detail.
"Then, read the History of the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes."
So Xiaoyu is subtle, one person is reading, one person is listening, and some Chinese that I don't understand have to ask two more carefully.
In the passage of time, the vague history in my mind gradually became clear, and the impressions of the three and two were also connected little by little.
The autumn clouds on the side will also brew fragrant warm tea,
That's what life is supposed to be, right?
Even if the autumn clouds and winter rain are watching from the side, you will feel a kind of happiness.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so studious and sensible, and it is good for them.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao thought that if he came up and listened to Wang Anshi, he would definitely be discovered by someone with a heart, because it was too obvious. When the time comes, it will be quite troublesome to come up and give a warning.
So he instructed Liu Jin, "You go and talk to Yang Tinghe about this paragraph, don't remember it...... Forget it, you might as well call him over. I spoke to him personally. ”
After a while, Yang Zhongyun, who was a little decrepit, supported his spirit and saluted His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Mr. Yang, I don't remember everything in the East Palace, right? You don't remember it so clearly this afternoon, just say I'm reading. ”
Yang Tinghe was stunned, what kind of requirement is this?
But in fact...... Zhongyunguan didn't dare to disobey the prince's will.
"Yes......"
"Your Highness," an attendant from outside the hall walked over, "Wang Zhan asked to see him." ”
"Good. Invite him in. ”
Wang Wei often runs to the East Palace now, but as soon as he came in today, he found the back of Yang Tinghe leaving from the Fang Palace.
As soon as he arrived, the man was gone.
This made Wang Wei frown slightly.
Some doubts deepened in my heart.
Zhu Houzhao got up from the rocking chair and asked Liu Jin to quickly put away the book he had just read.
"Minister, Wang Wei see His Royal Highness."
"Mr. Wang came just in time. Today, I have a few things that I don't understand and want to ask my husband for advice. ”
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, he himself was entangled for a long time after that day, but he didn't expect the prince to be the same as before.
"Your Highness."
Zhu Houzhao turned around, "What's wrong?" ”
"The minister came today because he wanted to report something to His Highness."
Listen to his tone, you know what should be going on.
Originally, I thought I could have a daily day in the East Palace.
"Mr. Wang, please come."
"Your Highness, do you know Li Guangqi?"
On the side, Liu Jin couldn't help frowning when he heard Wang Wei mention this name.
"Li Guang?"
Zhu Houzhao wanted to say whether it was the flying general Li Guang, but he also knew that Wang Wei would not mention a figure in the Han Dynasty at this time.
"Yes, the minister refers to Li Guang, the eunuch of the internal officials."
In the Ming Dynasty, not all eunuchs were called eunuchs, and only the head of the yamen was called eunuchs. Like Li Guang, he is the chief of internal officials and supervisors.
The internal officials and supervisors are mainly responsible for construction affairs, which are not related to the decision-making center of the imperial court, and are somewhat similar to the Ministry of Works in the outer court.
In addition, since internal officials, especially eunuchs and eunuchs, cannot be sent out of the palace, eunuchs who want to go to other places on business, "must borrow the title of internal official supervisor".
And the emperor sent people out of the palace, which was naturally the first choice of trust. Therefore, the status of the internal officials and supervisors was once second only to the celebrant supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor.
Li Guang is the chief official of the internal government, and the eunuchs who nominally leave the palace have to pass through him, because of this, Li Guang has a good relationship with many powerful eunuchs, and in the palace, it can be said that he is in a high position.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know about this, but he saw Liu Jin's expression change, this old fox would not be like this, so he knew that this matter was sensitive.
Wang Wei really said: "Li Guang, the official and eunuch in the interior, since the beginning of the fourth year of Hongzhi, suggested that His Majesty should build too much, there are Shou'an and Qin'an Palaces inside, and there are Shen Optimism, Taicang, and City Towers outside, and recently built a martial arts temple, and lured His Majesty to let the Beijing army build a palace, so that the Beijing army occupied the army and the garrison was difficult to train. Minister, I implore His Highness Chen Shengshang to clarify the facts so that His Majesty will not be deceived by villains! ”
In order to take care of the prince, he didn't study, and he tried to use vernacular as much as possible.
Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter was not so simple.
There must have been many people who mentioned these things to the emperor, but how long has it been since the fourth year of Hongzhi? This person is still fine.
"Mr. Wang, I know about this."
"Your Highness......"
Liu Jin was very refined, and as soon as he saw that Wang Wei began to drill the tip of the horns, he took a step forward, "Mr. Wang, let's answer His Highness's question first, His Highness has been waiting for Mr. today." ”
In the position of the crown prince, there will be too many people who state right and wrong, good and evil for different purposes, but it is so easy to distinguish between right and wrong in the world.
