Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Inexplicably, Zhao Wenhua from CUE bit the bullet and wrote a poem. Of course, he was born as a Jinshi, and his knowledge is still excellent.However, because of the flustered, the quality of the poem is very average.People can't help but sigh that Mr. Zhao has been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and he even put down his cultural classes.

Zhao Wenhua sat down with a livid face, but he didn't dare to provoke Li Chengfeng again.

The last three crown prince candidates went forward to recite Fu to Jiajing together, and the whole banquet ended in a happy atmosphere.

The banquet is over, but some things are just beginning.

Perhaps it was because Jiajing was kind to the sons of the feudal lords and did not give any orders, all the officials in the capital began to move around.

Just some time ago, Jiajing reformed the work and rest time of officials. Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not a holiday in the Ming Dynasty.The emperor imitated the laws of the Song Dynasty, and stipulated that there would be three days of statutory holidays in the spring, summer, autumn and winter of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Laba. This time happened to be a time when everyone was idle and bored at home.

The first one who couldn't hold back was the noble faction represented by Zhang Heling, the Duke of Chang. Most of them had their own goals of betting, and of course there was also the phenomenon of casting a net everywhere to please both sides.They all went to Fanjia Pavilion to visit the son of the vassal prince, and showed their loyalty faintly.

Afterwards, the officials also extended their olive branches, but they had to be more reserved and just sent some gifts to curry favor.Among them, the most brilliant one is Lord Yan Songyan, who happened to be born on those few days, and in this name, he directly invited the sons of the vassal princes to his home.

Li Chengfeng also received the invitation card, and Yan Song probably meant it, and the above words were extremely perfunctory at first glance.

Originally, he didn't want to go, but the emperor sent a message that the matter was of great importance, and he was asked to collect information and report back.Li Chengfeng complained in his heart, what the hell, this kid definitely just wants to watch the gossip!

All the officials knew that Li Chengfeng and Yan Song were at odds, so their jaws dropped when they saw him going to the banquet, especially Zhao Wenhua, and ordered the servants to arrange seats this time to keep themselves away from this evil star !

Of course, although this seems to be the stronghold of southeast officials, not everyone avoids Li Chengfeng. At least Gao Gong is very excited to reunite with his benefactor, and he pulls Li Chengfeng to talk about it.

"The students actually don't want to come here at all, but my father is talking about nothing at home all day long. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here. It's not in vain!" Gao Gong's eyes lit up, looking like a fan look.

Li Chengfeng is also very happy, and he has someone who can talk.It turned out that Father Gao was the young minister of Guanglu Temple, and he was in charge of purchasing the ingredients for the imperial meal on weekdays. All matters related to sacrifices, banquets, wine, and meal shame were handled by Guanglu Temple.Although the official position is only a fourth-rank, but it is very lucrative and highly trusted by the royal family. It is no wonder that Gao Gong has been an official for several generations, and Gao Gong has an upright and arrogant temper.

He had conflicts with Yan Song's son Yan Shifan before, even though Yan Shifan was punished, Father Gao still tried to make friends with Yan Song with the idea that more things are worse than less things.Naturally, Yan Song would not disagree, so for this birthday party, he posted a message to the Gao family.Gao's father was unable to escape due to official duties, so in order to express his apology, he asked Gao Gong to bring generous gifts to celebrate Yan Song's birthday.

The two chatted one after another like this. After a long time, they heard the announcement from the servants that Yan Song and the three princes had arrived.

In an instant, the audience boiled.Although everyone claimed to be the children of Confucianism, there was no stampede incident, but because there were too many people, many people had to stand on tiptoes and stretch their necks to see the demeanor of the powerful ministers and princes.

Yan Song was full of ambition, and accompanied by his son, he led the prince into the hall.

However, in the process, a chuckle suddenly came from the corner.Because everyone held their breath, the laughter seemed so harsh...

Yan Song was in high spirits, when he heard this weird laugh, he felt a little displeasure in his heart, and he followed the sound source, his nose was almost crooked, and he said indifferently: "Master Li, what are you doing, is it possible It was intentional to make trouble!"

"..." Li Chengfeng, can you say that he is too successful in life? Yan Song locks on the target without even thinking about it.

And at this moment, Gao Gong next to him raised his hand and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Lord Yan, I was the one who laughed just now."

This moment Yan Song lost all momentum, "Oh...it's you, then why are you laughing?"

Gao Gong said casually, "It's nothing interesting, but just now I saw Master Yan and several heirs enter the banquet hall imposingly, and everyone present looked forward to it, which reminded the students of Han Changli's "Cockfighting Poetry". 'The big chicken comes boldly, the little chicken waits in fear', vivid image."

The hall was dead silent.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Li Chengfeng laughed first, and nodded Gao Gong with his hands, speechless.The officials present couldn't help but laugh.

Only the father and son of the Yan family and the princes felt uncomfortable all over. Prince Hui's prince was domineering and wanted to have a fit at the time, but considering that this was the capital city, he managed to endure it.Yan Shifan looked at Gao Gong and Li Chengfeng's eyes as if poisoned, but the two of them didn't take him seriously.

After such an interruption, the birthday banquet could not continue. Originally, Yan Song wanted to pretend to be indifferent and show everyone that he was optimistic about Duan Wang, but he failed, and everyone left the banquet hastily.

After returning home, Li Chengfeng reported the matter to Jiajing, Jiajing also raised the corners of his mouth, and Lu Bing, who was listening beside him, laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright, he kept admiring Gao Gong, saying that he would definitely find a chance to meet him in the future .

Jiajing sneered with ridicule in his eyes: "Did you see that I am still here, and they can't help but want to be loyal to the new emperor."

Lu Bing bowed his head and did not dare to say anything because of the cruelty of what he said.Li Chengfeng hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I always feel that there are still some problems with the matter of adoption, you..."

Jiajing shook his head: "Do you think this kind of thing won't happen after I gave birth to a prince?"

Li Chengfeng stopped talking, and then argued again: "But adopting someone else's child is not very good after all, in case they don't want to..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bing looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, as if he was saying how could it be possible for someone who doesn't want to be an emperor? !Even if there is no intention of scrambling, who doesn't like a pie in the sky.

Li Chengfeng: "..." He forgot that it was a feudal society, and thinking was different from modern times after all, not to mention that even in modern times, there are people who are desperate for power.

At this time, Zhu Houcong took a deep look at him, and said with a complicated expression: "You really haven't changed a bit in all these years."

Li Chengfeng didn't know how to answer, so he could only continue to play dumb.After waiting for a while, he took the initiative to change the topic: "It seems that the three sons of the vassal princes are... well, each has their own strengths, but we need to observe further later?" It was so dangerous that I almost told the truth.

"What are you observing?" Jiajing was surprised: "I want to adopt their sons, not them. It doesn't matter how the three behave. I don't have to teach the princes."

"Ah?" Li Chengfeng was full of doubts, thinking that if this is the case, why do you have to go all the way to pick up the people, and keep them in the Fanjia Pavilion, just raise a few children in the palace and choose slowly.

As if seeing what he wanted to say subconsciously, Jiajing was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I just want their father and son to spend more time together, after all, it may be difficult to see each other in the future."

Li Chengfeng didn't speak anymore, he knew that the early death of King Xingxian was a lifelong pain in Zhu Houcong's heart, he put himself in the same place as others, and took care of the few princes who came to Beijing.

"After a while, I will test the knowledge and character of the three boys, and I will send the rest back to the fief soon." Jiajing returned to his previous paralyzed expression: "If you drag it on, the ghosts and ghosts in the capital will be killed. The whole nest is dispatched, you should retreat first."

"Observe the order." Li Chengfeng bowed his head and left the palace, swallowing the words on his lips.

Your majesty, you really haven't changed at all.

……

No matter how much Yan Song tried to hide it, the news of his embarrassment at the birthday banquet that day spread like wildfire.After returning to the court after the holiday, everyone looked at Yan Song quite intriguingly.

After spending so much effort, he got nothing in the end, and this Master Yan doesn't seem to be as cunning as he has shown.Yan Song's painstakingly managed image collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, the ally Zhang Cong's side is still stable, and he can continue to gain favor with Duan Wang's side.

A few days later, a decree was delivered in the palace, and several crown prince candidates were brought into the palace to accompany the empress dowager, and they proposed that even if they left the fief, their homework should not be missed, and they would study together in the palace.The officials muttered in their hearts again, the show is coming.Yan Song, on the other hand, had already arranged for a great Confucian to tutor Duan Wang, trying to make Duan Wang the first.

It fell to Li Chengfeng to teach a few little kids.After all, these few people have special identities, and it is always unfair to let the Hanlin Academy go out.On the contrary, he, as the Imperial Academy offering wine and supervising Taixue, is equivalent to the modern Minister of Education, and it is most appropriate for him to come forward.

As for Li Chengfeng... he looked helplessly at the sky, anyway, it wasn't his first time raising a child.He can't teach the scriptures or something, and someone is responsible for that. He is nothing more than telling history and guiding some common sense in the palace.

After getting along for a long time, he found that the three crown princes each had their own characteristics, but they were all in good condition.

Zhu Zaizhen of Duanwang faction is the oldest, already seven years old, he is quite like his ancestor, tall and tall.I heard that he is also very talented in martial arts, with character and fortitude, but his temper is not very good, and he can compete with Jiajing in terms of bullying.

Zhu Zaihou of the Yiwang faction, perhaps due to his background, has a very gentle and polite temper, is cautious in dealing with things, and is rarely arrogant.

Zhu Zaihe of Huiwang faction was the smartest. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he was the only crown prince who could compose poems on the spot. This child understood everything Li Chengfeng taught him very quickly.And because of the auspicious omen of King Hui's "indescribable", the momentum is very huge.

Thinking about it this way, I really don't know which one to choose.

Li Chengfeng thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, and that he should leave it to the emperor and the cabinet to worry about.Unexpectedly, one day he went to Jiajing study to report on work as usual, and suddenly heard the emperor say: "Lord Li thinks, who among the three crown princes is worthy of the big responsibility."

"!!!" Hearing this sentence suddenly, Li Chengfeng sweated, and couldn't help looking up at Jiajing.

But Jiajing's face remained normal, as if he was completely unaware of what shocking words he said.

"This is the emperor's family matter. No matter who he prefers, it is up to the emperor himself to decide. It is inconvenient for me to say more."

Jiajing frowned slightly: "Didn't you teach me back then that the king is selfless? This is my family matter, but it is also a state matter. I want to hear your opinion. Don't worry, the people around you have been removed long ago. You just have to be bold." said."

...I don't worry about it!It turns out that you kid has been waiting for me here a long time ago!Li Chengfeng complained wildly in his heart.However, it was impossible not to say anything, Jiajing was still waiting eagerly for him to speak.

Li Chengfeng thought for a long time before tentatively replying: "I'm so dull, I dare to ask what the emperor thinks is the most essential condition to be a wise monarch."

"You're asking me instead." Jiajing chuckled lightly, then thought silently. He really hadn't thought about this, what does Mingjun need...

After a long time, he hesitated and said: "Smart and eager to learn, work hard, know people and be good at responsibility, follow advice like flow..." He became quieter, because at this time he found that apart from being diligent, most of himself incompatible.

Naturally, Li Chengfeng also noticed it, and shook his head amusedly: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. In the eyes of the world, you are already a wise king through the ages." big change.People's lives are changing with each passing day, the politics of the court is relatively clear, and the treasury is rich in food and money. I believe that even future generations will give Jiajing a good evaluation.

Li Chengfeng continued: "According to the different conditions and backgrounds, the things that the emperor should do are different. For example, the people of the country are in dire straits at this time, and there are internal and external troubles. King. Perhaps this man could have made a difference in another environment, but now he has ruined the dynasty."

"At the end of the day, it's just a sentence, Mingjun, you should do what you should do. So which one the emperor chooses to be the crown prince depends entirely on your future governance strategy."

After Jiajing heard this, he thought for a long time, until Li Chengfeng's legs were about to stand numb, and he coughed twice, then he suddenly woke up.Afterwards, he said solemnly: "I understand, thank you Master Li for clarifying the confusion."

Li Chengfeng shook his head, saluted and left.

In the middle of the night, the more Zhu Houcong thought about it, the more wrong it became, and suddenly he slapped the table hard: "I let him fool me again, and I kicked the ball back after talking for a long time!" The surrounding palace people were frightened and kept silent, trying to shrink themselves.Huang Jin glanced at it secretly, and murmured in his heart, why is the emperor still smiling while being angry? It's really unpredictable.

Everything after that has nothing to do with Li Chengfeng. He continues to clock in at work every day to teach, meet with friends, read books and play chess. If there is no internet, life now is similar to that of the 21st century.On the other hand, Yan Song tried his best to increase the favorability of Wang Duan, and for a while he didn't even care about the serious errands of the Ministry of Rites.

But at this moment, an imperial decree from the emperor completely broke the superficial peace.

"Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the heavens and set up the poles and governed the Huan area, and they must establish Yuan Chu so that the Mianzong Society will have no boundaries.

I look up to my ancestor Zhao Chui, who succeeded Zhu Zaihou as his son, and entrusted him with the most important care.Zi Ke obeys the benevolent orders of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country. "

Hearing the imperial edict read out word by word by the eunuch above, Li Chengfeng could feel the shocked emotions of the surrounding ministers without looking.He sighed slightly, just as he thought, is it really Zhu Zaihou from King Yi's sect...

I think so, although Emperor Jiajing was a wise emperor, his relationship with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was a bit too rigid. It is still a peaceful age, and it will definitely be detrimental to the country in the long run.At this time, a generous and benevolent successor is needed to relax a little bit. Knowledge and governance can be learned in the future, but it is difficult to change the character.

And it seems that the emperor will definitely make big moves in the future, and having a calm prince is equivalent to appease the world.

Li Chengfeng thought it clearly, but others didn't know, even Prince Yi was stupid.He didn't expect much from the beginning, and he also knew that their father and son were not favored by the emperor. The cheap son was no better than the other two candidates in terms of civil and martial arts, and even his appearance was not as cute as their Xueyu. How could he become a prince?

It has to be said that Prince Yi's son is indeed the number one koi carp in Ming Dynasty. He first picked up the throne, and now his son who has been raised for two years will become emperor in the future.

Zhang Cong and Yan Song's face was ashen, they thought that the matter was settled, not only was it a waste of effort, but it would be very troublesome if the matter of making friends with the vassal king was found out by someone who cared.

Yan Song was fine, and soon got up again to make plans again. After all, Zhang Cong had been with Jiajing for so many years.Recalling the series of events that started when the vassal king entered the capital, I felt as if a weight of lead had fallen in my heart. I am afraid that the emperor has already made a plan...

The author has something to say: Zhu Zaihou is the name of Emperor Longqing, because he was one of the few reliable emperors in the Ming Dynasty, so I don’t want to lose him...

The other big chicken and little chicken also happened in history, but instead of blaming Gao Gong, Yan Song laughed along with him, and praised Gao Gong's humor.

Yan Song, how should I put it...he must be a traitor, but a large part of his badness is actually related to Jiajing and his son Yan Shifan.

If there was anyone worse than Yan Song in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there must have been, and there were quite a few.So why is Yan Song so famous.

In fact, this is a manifestation of the development of novels in the Ming Dynasty. The novels needed a villain. At that time, Yan Song was famous, so he wrote Yan Song, and then the common people passed it on by word of mouth.According to incomplete statistics, when Yan Song was still alive, there were dozens of novels and dramas with him as the villain, which can be called a treasure trove of fan writers, the number one material library in Ming Dynasty...
