Chapter Eighty-Eight: Three Stacks of Paper (The First Update on the Shelf, Ask for Subscription)
Chang Feng suspected that he and Liu Xiaoyan had been practicing too hard recently, which led to kidney deficiency and tinnitus, and he heard what Huai En said wrongly.
Raid the Qianqing Palace? How can it be?
A house slave raided the master's bedroom? Either I'm often deaf, or Grandpa is crazy.
Chang Feng said, "Grandpa, what did you just say? I don't seem to hear clearly."
Huai En repeated word by word: "The emperor dictated, let you raid the Qianqing Palace."
Chang Feng smiled dumbly: "Grandpa, don't joke with your grandson! I don't dare to copy the Qing Palace if I have 800 guts."
Zhu Ji on the side was a little displeased: "The prime minister of the Ming Dynasty has a lot of opportunities, and he has the kung fu to joke with you with a thousand households?"
Huai En glanced at Zhu Ji: "Commander Zhu, don't be so fierce to your subordinates. Scare my good grandson again."
Zhu Ji's personality is not likable. But Huai En knew in his heart that he was still loyal to Emperor Hongzhi.
Wynne explained to Chang Feng what was going on.
Yesterday, Chang Feng suggested that Wan An should find the book that Wan An dedicated to the former emperor in order to drive him out of the court. Wynn informed Emperor Hongzhi of this suggestion. Emperor Hongzhi thought so.
He immediately ordered Xiao Jing to lead a group of little eunuchs to look for Meishu in the Qianqing Palace, where the former emperor lived.
But after tossing until midnight, I didn't find a piece of paper from Meishu.
Professional things need professional people to do. This morning, Emperor Hongzhi simply asked Huai En to come to Jinyiwei to give an order, and asked Chang Feng to "raid" the Qianqing Palace to find the book.
After Huai En explained, Chang Feng immediately patted his chest: "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm going to do this job."
Huai En said: "The raid on the Qianqing Palace can't be too public. You can only bring three people into the palace on errands."
"You have to hold on. After all, the Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and receives courtiers. What have you been turning over there for? The emperor will only give you one day."
"In addition, Huzi is not allowed to enter the palace."
Chang Feng thought: What I am looking for is a book, not silver. It's useless to bring a tiger with you.
He chose Xu Fatzi, the deputy Qianhu who inspected the Qianhu Office, Shi Wenyi, the general banner, and Qian Ning of the small banner to do this errand.
The four of them followed Wynn into the palace.
The eighteen-year-old Hongzhi Emperor has the curiosity of an ordinary young man.
Emperor Hongzhi had long heard that Chang Feng's craftsmanship was quite exquisite. Today, he simply took the time to see how Chang Feng raided his home, which can be regarded as finding a little entertainment to relieve pressure in addition to the heavy government affairs.
Chang Feng and the other four saluted Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi commanded, "You should begin."
Chang Feng arched his hand: "Dare to ask the emperor." Have you asked the fathers-in-law who served the emperor? Do they know the whereabouts of Mei Shu?"
Emperor Hongzhi replied, "I have asked them all. They only know that Wan An presents a book to the emperor every six months. Over the years, I have dedicated more than 20 copies."
"It's a pity that they don't know where the emperor put the book."
Chang Feng arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister plans to start with the dormitory first."
Chang Feng has his own considerations: the first emperor hid flattering books, which is different from corrupt officials hiding stolen silver. It is usually hidden in a place where it is easily accessible, readable, and can be done according to the illustrations.
Most likely hidden in the dormitory of the concubine.
The emperor's dormitory is the east and west warm pavilions of the Qianqing Palace.
Kenjong lived in Dongnuan Pavilion for a long time. The Xinuan Pavilion is only used to summon the ministers.
Chang Feng and the four of them came to the East Warm Pavilion, and Emperor Hongzhi also followed.
Chang Feng took a deep breath: It's easy to get a chance to show your face in front of the emperor, don't show your face and show your buttocks.
Chang Feng took out the special household items for copying the house - the treasure ring and the silver stirrup.
He took the treasure ring in his hand and placed the silver stirrup on his boots.
Emperor Hongzhi asked curiously, "What are these two things?"
Chang Feng explained to Emperor Hongzhi the use of two kinds of household goods.
Emperor Hongzhi had a look of novelty on his face after hearing this: "This is really a specialization in the art industry. There's a trick to everything."
"I originally thought that copying the house would be Jane
Single rummaging. I didn't expect there to be so many tricks and tricks."
"Alright, you can do it. I'll take a look."
Under the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, Chang Feng was still under pressure.
This is like the top students in later generations, who should have been smooth when answering questions in exams. If there is an invigilator on the side who keeps an eye on him answering questions, he will definitely be nervous.
The East Warm Pavilion is divided into the east room and the tip room, which is divided into eight rooms in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
The dragon couch in the east room was used by Xianzong's favored concubines.
Chang Feng came to the dragon couch.
In fact, the dragon couch is not as big as the people imagine. It's just a bigger stepping bed.
It's different from a normal stepping bed. There are three large drawers under the dragon couch. They represent "heaven", "earth", and "man".
Chang Feng opened the drawer. There was nothing inside.
This dragon couch has not only been used by Xianzong, but also by Emperor Hongzhi in the past few months.
Chang Feng said: "The emperor forgives his sins. The minister will move the bedding on the dragon couch."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "You should treat the Qianqing Palace as the residence of the criminal official. How to copy and how to copy. You don't have to ask."
Chang Feng asked Xu Fatzi to remove the futon on the dragon couch. He hunched over and checked the couch. No anomalies were noted.
Subsequently, Chang Feng carefully checked the floor of the east room with a silver stirrup. No dark grids were found.
He struck the wall of the eastern chamber inch by inch with the treasure ring.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the treasure ring.
Chang Feng's eyes lit up: "There is a dark grid behind the wall."
Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed: "This is what I found?"
Chang Feng said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute." He fumbled around the wall, and there was a wall tile on it. It loosens with a hard push.
He borrowed the waist knife of the Han general and pried the wall tile open.
I saw three stacks of paper in the wall tiles.
Chang Feng's heart moved: there are only three stacks of paper, which is obviously not a flattering book. Could it be a spring picture?
Many shameless emperors like to let the painter observe and draw spring pictures on the spot when they pamper women.
For example, Zhao Kuangyi's "Xiling Qiangxing Xiao Zhou Hou Tu"; Another example is Tang Minghuang and Yang Taizhen's "Spring Night Secret Drama".
Chang Feng took out the three stacks of paper. He said, "Your Majesty, these three stacks of paper should be spring pictures. The ministers dare not look at it."
Chang Feng didn't dare to look at it, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to look at it! In case the painting on it is Xianzong's favor to Emperor Hongzhi, which is the titular mother......
Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to call Huai En in. Wynne is a Chinese person, so it doesn't hurt to watch it.
Wynne unfolded three stacks of paper.
Emperor Hongzhi, Chang Feng and others turned their backs.
After a few moments, Wynne said, "It's a couplet."
The crowd turned.
Wynne and the two little eunuchs unfolded the couplet.
I saw that Shanglian is "only one person rules the world".
The next link is "Shall you serve one person for the world".
Heng Pi is "diligent and pro-virtuous".
Below the couplet, it is actually covered with the small seal of Emperor Jingtai.
Emperor Hongzhi seems to want to test Chang Feng: "Chang Feng. You've also read books, but you haven't made a name for yourself. Tell me, what does this couplet mean? What's the allusion?"
Chang Feng humbly said, "The ministers dare not show off their knowledge in front of the emperor."
Emperor Hongzhi said, "It's okay. Say yes."
Chang Feng said loudly: "The meaning of this couplet is that to be an emperor, you should govern the heavens with your own hands, not just be supported by the people of the world."
"The "Theory of Fortune" by Li Kang of the Wei and Jin Dynasties - the king of the ancients, who rules the world with one person, does not serve one person with the world."
Emperor Hongzhi praised: "Insightful! Qing Zhicai, although not as good as the two Jinshi. But there are also learnings that can be learned."
