Zhen Guo Princess GL

Although no formal ceremony was held for me in the palace, many things have clearly changed.The first one is that the wet nurses have been sent out of the palace one after another.They are all middle-aged women, and most of them have family members and children outside the palace, and their grades are not low. If they were in my era, they would be figures at the city and county levels, but now they no longer need childcare for me. It's really pitiful that the princess stays in the palace; moreover, they all have seniority and grades, and they brought me up since I was a child. I was a little bit excited, when my mother asked me if I wanted to keep one or two people in the palace, she hurriedly shook her head and stopped, and when she turned around, each of them rewarded three hundred pieces of silk, and happily sent them away.

The second thing is my schoolwork.According to the system, Li Rui's and I's studies are against the law - he left the court to study in Hongwenguan before he was married, opened a mansion, and was assisted by Wang Fu, You, Shidu, literature, Jijiu and other staff members, but still often Staying in the palace and taking classes with me, I shouldn't have studied like a prince, but I have been taking lessons from Li Rui's lectures, readings, essays and books since I was a child, and I didn't learn any women's morals. , but "Jijiuzhang", "Wenxuan", "Laozi", and occasionally went to listen to the Five Classics lectures with the prince or Li Rui.Recently, my mother ordered Miao Shenke, Liu Yizhi and others to teach me classics and history. They arranged for me to start with "Book of Filial Piety" and then "Analects of Confucius", mixed with "Poetry" and "Erya". Miscellaneous studies "Chunqiu Zuoshi Zhuan" and "Guoyu" - these are the large and small scriptures stipulated in Guozixue, those who master the two classics can be appointed officials. According to today's common sense, it shouldn't be my little girl. Mother's schoolwork, but since I am in the inner palace, no one can control me except my mother, and I have always been fine.Now that the tide has come, everything is different again. Several imperial wives wrote letters to persuade them. My mother couldn’t resist them, so she added Nei Ze Nei Fan to my coursework. These talkative ministers wanted me to stay in the inner palace to receive education. In the end, my mother said that the inner palace was not convenient for bachelors to come and go, so she specially set up a small courtyard in Jixian Hall, with curtains inside, and ordered me to stay in the inner palace. Studying inside, the attendants are teaching outside the curtain, going in and out is covered by guards of honor, when I am in class, there are more than two senior female officials leading the palace, one inner official leading two or more inner officials, and more than two guards, so I can be justified study of history.Seeing that my mother was so serious, my father didn't know where the idea came from. He stipulated that I should also be like Li Rui. I would have an exam every ten days, and once I finished my studies, there would be an entrance exam.

The third thing is my monthly supply.It's not that the former palace dared to confiscate my things, it's just that since this time, the items sent are obviously more exquisite and luxurious than before.Especially the clothes sent by Shang Fangju, in the past there were many styles that looked unrecognizable between men and women, but now they are all kinds of skirts with large pleats and flowers, inlaid with tattoos, fearing that they are not gorgeous enough, and the skirts are also open. Much lower.My mother asked someone to give me a lot of extra jewelry, and set up a "cosmetics and powder money" for me based on Li Rui's "paper, pen, ink and ink money" - both of our expenses were allocated by my mother from the empress. I have not been in Tibet before, and outsiders have no right to intervene.It is rumored that the powder money is only one-third of the money for paper and pen. Based on this, the amount of money and silk that his mother subsidizes Li Rui privately every month is really amazing, and Li Rui did not live up to his mother's expectations. Making friends with literati from aristocratic families, compiling books and presenting scriptures, I am very busy.The prince has recently resigned from the post of supervisor because his father is in better health. He only reads and practices calligraphy in the East Palace every day, and also has the officials of the East Palace annotate the "Book of the Later Han", but he is not as popular as Li Ruisheng.

In May, I remember the name Liu Rengui the most. The reason for remembering him is very simple. In April, we lost the battle of Tubo, and the natives in Nazhou and Qianzhou rebelled. The father forced the sick body to come out to preside over the government, select good ministers and generals to recruit troops to defend against the enemy. For this, the father laughed at the mother a lot, saying, "It turns out that you Wu Qiniang still has an undecided idea", and deliberately waited for the mother to invite him several times. Then he issued an edict to use Liu Rengui to town the Taohe army, and selected several groups of troops to fight separately. My mother suggested that soldiers be recruited from Henan and Hebei, no matter good or bad, so as to not only enrich the army, but also resettle the refugees affected by drought. My father readily agreed, quite complacent and authentic : "Qiniang can be the minister's order, but if it's going to march and fight, it's a little bit close."

My mother smiled and said, "Of course I'm not as good as Sanlang." Before Liu Rengui left, he specially ordered me to meet him behind the curtain, pointed at me and smiled at him and said, "I hope Mr. Liu will spread his prestige far, so don't let my little daughter have a marriage. worries." He also ordered me to thank you across the curtain, earnestly and deeply entrusted.Not long after Liu Rengui left, Wei Shulin was named the governor of Minzhou. Wei Siqian and Cen Changqian, the servant of the Ministry of War, were both added to the third rank of Zhongshu, but two prime ministers were added at once—this was the mother's advice. It is very complicated, there is not enough manpower in the political affairs hall, and the seniority of these two people is a bit shallow compared to the prime minister, and there is always no quota for prime ministers anyway, so it is better to choose two more, use them if they are good, and dismiss them if they are not.Father thinks so.

Mother waited for her father to agree with her suggestion, and wrote a letter with [-] more suggestions: please study "Laozi" below the prince, ask the father to serve the mother for three years when the mother dies, and ask the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" For the study that is compulsory for the examination, please take Ming Jing as the regular examination for the imperial examination, and take the examination once a year. Please increase the salary of the officials in Beijing, please convert the amount of labor of all officials into money and silk, and pay in one piece. After the completion of Shangyang Palace, there will be no more construction projects. Those officials who have not been promoted for a long time are invited to use their talents and be promoted as appropriate. Please open up the way of speaking.

The father of the first twelve items "rejoiced to accept", but the last two were "several times of resignation", and he "reluctantly" complied with the mother, Li Rui and Baiguan's repeated letters, but the emperor and the empress agreed together. The two-character honorary title was added, which was for Emperor Shengwen and Empress Shengwen. He also issued an edict to enshrine the ceremony of Zen, but took his mother as the sub-dedication.
