Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

The lecturers at the sutra banquet were great Confucian scholars in the imperial court, each with gray beards, and they looked like they were poor in scriptures. ——In order to set off their culture, several idioms are specially used.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were summoned by the emperor to listen to this open class, and the eyes of the great Confucian scholars were twitching. The place surrounded by twelve screens must be the concubine Wan Gui.

Theoretically speaking, all concubines should come to listen to the banquet, but there has always been a big gap between theory and reality. When the first emperor was in power, not to mention that the concubines did not come to listen to the banquet, even the emperor rarely held a banquet!Where is it like this dynasty, where the emperor held the scripture opening banquet again and again, and the imperial concubine came to join him except during the confinement period.

"Oh, my relatives should also come and listen."

"In all fairness, I think Wan's family is better than Zhou's." Concubine Wan Guifei's brother just spends money on eating, drinking and having fun. The worst thing he did was to jump in line to buy roast chicken. The old man was waiting behind, so angry Dead, stared at him for a long time.But the Zhou family is such a jerk, they actually robbed people's fields!

"The Wan family is a bit arrogant and extravagant, and they know how to restrain themselves. I don't know what will happen after the imperial concubine becomes a queen in the future."

Whether Wanjia is arrogant or not depends entirely on the foil of his peers.

"It's a good thing for a noble concubine to be eager to learn. She comes from a humble background, so she has acquired some knowledge to educate the future prince, but... in the harem, she is the only one in the harem, and she works so hard to learn." Isn't she ambitious?Is the picture not too small?Are you ready to take part in politics?

"The sage is a young man, young and strong, and in good health." There will be no such thing as Han Gaozu, Tang Gaozong, and Song Zhenzong entrusting government affairs to the queen due to illness.

"What the old man is worried about is the lifespan of the kings of the Ming Dynasty..." It's not very long.How many empress dowagers have emerged?Why are there so many empress dowagers?Because the husband dies quickly, the son also dies quickly, only the grandson can survive!

The great Confucians muttered worriedly, all hinting at each other's meaning, and could not speak clearly.

Suddenly someone remembered: "I still remember the noble concubine Zhou in the previous dynasty, and the current Empress Dowager Zhou never came to listen to the sutra feast."

They were all silent.Are those who don't listen to the scriptures plotting small?Not small!Is there less trouble?Not a lot!so what?The status of a concubine depends entirely on the emperor's preference and mother is more precious than her son, she is just like a flatterer, you should study hard!

They continued to sort out the outline of the speech and continued to discuss in low voices. "I heard that the Queen Mother is addicted to pills."

"Yeah, I heard that I passed out once, and I still have to eat. The imperial doctors are afraid to go to Kangning Palace."

"Master Zhang is killed, how many pills can she still have?"

"Brother Xiong, why do you think the Holy Majesty asked this question?" "The Marquis of Changning can worship the pills from Longhu Mountain, and he can also find other Taoist priests. The emperor is so rich that he can't even find a few Taoist alchemists who can make pills." To? Even if you can't find it, there are always some liars."

"!!!"

Although they gave the lectures, the emperor sat down and listened as a student, but well, the topics of their lectures were determined by the emperor.

The topic set by the emperor was delivered to them yesterday, and the great Confucianists who saw it scratched their heads for a while: [Mother’s remonstrance, admonishment will not follow]

These words are simply too clear and straightforward-I persuade my mother every day, but my mother doesn't listen at all!

It is really embarrassing for great Confucians to give lectures on this topic.But the emperor's attitude is very obvious, and the latter sentence "respect without disobedience, work without complaint" was omitted, but any learned person can tell at a glance that the emperor means "I can't be respectful." Obedient, willing to bear the burden of hard work'.

On the surface, this is not good and not filial.

But this is the emperor's business!Not only is it related to whether to contain the relatives, but also how to deal with the queen mother who took the pill!

Thinking about it this way, the emperor is right to be disobedient!How could the emperor, the lord of all, listen to the words of a deep palace woman!

The truth is the truth, how to explain the truth depends on the person~

The sutra banquet finally started. When the Confucians saw the emperor walking into the hall, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Long live my emperor."

Zhu Jianshen came to attend the class today, and he returned the courtesy politely: "Gentlemen, there is no need to be too polite. Today, regardless of the distinction between monarch and minister, I only talk about the etiquette of teachers and students."

The eunuchs stood in a row, blocking the few steps from the side door to the back of the screen. The old gentlemen quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look carefully. Sa floated over, and there was the sound of jingling rings.

It's outrageous for women to wear men's clothes, but no one can say that.

Everyone sat down one by one, and the banquet was to imitate the antique system, and they all spread mats on the ground. On the mats, another layer of long strip cushions was placed to separate the rows, and large and thick cushions were placed on the rows.The division of status, the direction in which the mats are arranged, and the texture chosen are all representative and follow ancient rituals.

Perhaps the braziers placed throughout the hall are not ancient enough.

Everyone gets ready and starts listening to the class.

The old gentlemen were about to start class when they suddenly saw a stumbling fat man running out from behind the screen.

He quickly said: "His Royal Highness."

The historian licked the tip of his pen. He thought that there was nothing to remember today, but he didn't expect it~

Wan Zhen'er was lying on the crack of the screen to peek at what it looked like when all the officials gathered, but she didn't pay attention, and her son ran out.It's too late to go out and catch him, so let him go, if he messes around, he will be sent back by the emperor.

Zhu Jianshen looked at his eldest son, um, it's so cute, he's quite strong, and the elixir is really worth it, so he beckoned with great interest: "Come here, come here, and listen to the class with Dad."

Zhu Youzhen looked around, and he was a little surprised. He had never seen so many men in official uniforms, nor had he seen so many bearded men.Seeing a person with a big beard, thick and black, and growing to the navel, he immediately ran over with his short legs.

The emperor opened his arms, and then watched helplessly as the little brat lowered his head and slipped under his arm - he just lowered his head and passed.Seeing him running in front of the bearded servant, curiously stretched out a small white and fat hand to grab the tip of his beard, tugged gently, and asked cutely: "What is this?"

The baby's voice is so cute.

Yang Shilang was a little surprised at first, why the prince didn't even recognize the beard, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that the emperor didn't have a beard, and the palace was full of eunuchs, so he stretched his neck and let him hold the tip of the beard: "Report to Your Highness, this is the minister beard."

Zhu Youzhen looked at him in surprise: "What's the use of a beard?" As he spoke, he secretly touched the back of his bare head and his chubby chin.

Wan Zhen'er covered her face and smiled, the shaved-headed child is so cute, with big head, big eyes, small arms and legs, cuter than the big dolls in New Year pictures!

Everyone secretly laughed.

Yang Shilang was in an embarrassing situation. He didn't know the use of growing a beard. Anyway, he started to grow a beard crazily since he was a teenager, and finally he was in his 30s. He could pretend to have a big beard and no longer needed to shave .

"I don't even know, the body born by parents will grow up naturally."

Zhu Youzhen didn't understand, and tugged hard again: "This is the chin, um, is there hair growing on the chin?"

"……Yes."

The official historian continued to record with a smile on his face. If nothing unexpected happens, this prince is the new prince in the future.

The little prince let go, and ran towards the emperor again. He didn't pay attention, tripped over the edge of the mat, and fell all over the ground, which hurt even when he heard it.

The old gentlemen waited hopelessly for him to start crying.They are all people with children and grandchildren, no matter how they care about their children, they know that as soon as a child starts to cry, it will be over. What is called cleanliness and what is called peace, they all cease to exist, and their voices cannot be heard.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't cry, he just got up with hands and feet, giggled and fell on his father's big belly, and reached out to grab his chin: "Daddy~Daddy~"

Zhu Jianshen warned him with a dark face: "Stop making trouble, and let the teacher give a lecture. I won't bring you here like this! Obediently, I will give you persimmons later."

Under the lure of the big persimmon, the little baby sat obediently beside his father, listening to those old gentlemen with long white beards talking slowly and incomprehensibly.

While having a cup of tea, the little baby quietly leaned against his father's belly and began to doze off.

Zhu Jianshen looked at him with a look of disgust, seeing him drooling in sleep, hiccupping in his sleep, ah, a lot of saliva, so disgusting.Ah, the drool is about to drip on my clothes... Do all children do this?You are a little watering can!

My God, after the second baby is born, they won't be drooling at me, will they?evil!

The old gentlemen worked hard to talk about the theme set by the emperor, and talked about many twists and turns around "filial piety", and explained in detail that "the emperor should govern the country with filial piety, but this does not mean that you can say whatever your mother says. Listen, if it endangers the country, the law, and her own health, she must firmly reject it''A woman has shallow knowledge, so she must be taught''The so-called three obediences and four virtues, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies'"If you don't listen, you can't give in , must persist for the truth! '

The emperor was very happy to hear that, but he couldn't find any excuses to refute the queen mother's request, and he was afraid that people would laugh at him if he refused the queen mother's request.With one arm around the little fat boy in his arms, he sat upright and listened to the class.

However, the old gentlemen also carried a lot of private work, "the rooster sits in the morning", "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", "women are stupid, don't let them be the masters" to warn the emperor, don't let her interfere in the government just because she loves Concubine Wan Gui.

They did not comment on the prince sleeping soundly. It is normal for a child who has just turned one year old to love to sleep.

The official historian also recorded: "Confucians talked about women's ignorance and superficiality, and the prince fell asleep angrily and sneered at it."

Wan Zhen'er just listened silently behind the screen, not commenting on these stupid words, she very much believed that the emperor would not listen to them.

The little Zhu Baobao fell asleep, and suddenly woke up again. He looked around in a daze, as if curious about where this was and why he came here.He was thinking about this matter, and suddenly he was attracted by the three-dimensional cloud sea golden dragon in the center of the high and far-reaching algae well on the roof, and many colorful paintings around him were also very novel and beautiful. He looked up for a long time: "Father, there, the sky is so beautiful ah."

Zhu Jianshen looked up subconsciously, his arms were sore: "Go back and find your mother."

"Don't go, don't go, don't go~" The little fat man began to kick his legs willfully: "No, don't go, don't go~" He stretched out his hand to touch the painted painting on the roof, he focused on it for a while, and there was a dragon pattern in the center, There are lotus, water chestnut, lotus root and other patterns around, as well as small house-like carvings, shouting: "This is different from home."

Everyone knows without thinking that his so-called home refers to Concubine Wan Gui's bedroom.This is natural, how can a concubine be qualified to use caissons, even the empress's residence, Kunning Palace, does not have it, caissons can only be used in the most noble buildings, like the top of the throne of gods and Buddhas or emperors.

One is used for Feng Shui. It is believed that the algae well represents water accommodation, which can suppress the fire below and avoid fire.On the other hand, it represents the mirror of heaven, which means the communication between the emperor and heaven.

Of course, since the algae well was repaired, few people have watched it.The emperor is not interested in looking up, and the ministers can't look up at the sky in front of the emperor, so there are no rules.

The historian thought the prince was chubby and cute, and recorded: "The prince looked up at the algae well, was surprised and delighted, and said, 'There is a difference between this place and the inner palace.'"

Zhu Jianshen covered his face, and threatened in a low voice: "Don't shout, let you see, let you see, don't shout and scream."

Zhu Youzhen snorted, as if agreeing to his condition, holding his big hands in both hands and focused on looking at the caisson in the sky, carefully observing the criss-crossing wooden sticks and the small carved flowers in the small pavilion.

Who can say anything, he is only two years old, no matter what he does, he can't be harsh.

The old gentleman paused for a while, then continued to lecture, still talking about the Analects.A "Zi Yue" and a "Poetry Cloud" can make them talk forever, but unfortunately, this is the same as high school class, the teacher above lectures, and the students underground hold small meetings.

Everyone is talking about the prince: "Your Highness is very fat and cute."

"Yes, fat and beautiful."

"It's amazing to be able to walk so steadily after just turning one year old. It's worthy of being a prince. My dog ​​can only walk when he's two years old."

"Then your family is not bad. My puppy was only three years old before I pulled it out of his mother's hands."

"It's understandable. (After all, you have already lost two sons)"

"Looking at His Highness, it seems that he is not very easy to learn."

"Your Highness has just turned one year old, what can you tell?"

"That's right, Youdao is three years old and seven years old, you should wait a few years."

"His Highness doesn't look like a one-year-old."

"Probably follow the mother."

"What does the algae well look like? I have never seen the algae well in the Huagai Palace."

"I haven't seen it either."

"Who dares to look up."

"Don't tell me, someone dares to watch."

"who is it?"

"Who is so bold? Internal officer?"

"No. Hehe."

"A craftsman who builds? A painter who paints?"

"Neither, what the old man said is the blueprint of the craftsman."

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"The emperor is really a loving father."

"That's right, the Holy Majesty is so generous and benevolent, the prince he raises will definitely be a wise king in the future."

When Zhu Jianshen heard this sentence in front of him, he felt a little harsh.What the hell!I haven't turned 20 yet, but you are thinking about the crown prince becoming a wise king?Do you just believe that my lifespan must be as short as that of the late emperor?I also plan to live a long life with Sister Wan, er, she lives a long life, and I happen to live to be 80 years old, enough!He patted the little fat man's stomach angrily: "Have you seen enough? Go back and find your mother, don't mess around here, you don't understand."

Zhu Youzhen got up suddenly, stuck out his tongue, staggered, left foot crossed his right foot, and right foot stepped on his left foot, but he came to the old gentlemen who were giving lectures without falling, and stared at them.

The great Confucianists were originally Hanlin scholars in the court, well-learned Confucian scholars, and each of them cannot be said to have the talents to rule the world. Let’s decide the policy of the country. Such a stubborn mouth, all of them remain unafraid.But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is wearing a bright red dress and has a serious face, wrinkled buns, frowning, and staring at a pair of big black eyes, stared at them for a while. I feel hairy.

The lecturer couldn't go on talking anymore, he cupped his hands, and asked half-jokingly: "I've been talking for a long time, Your Highness, please correct me?"

Standing, Zhu Youzhen happened to be lying on the table imitating the Qin and Han Dynasties, reached out and grabbed his outline to look at it, tried to read a few words, and then asked: "Mother... Huh? Mother?" Looking at the old man, he didn't know what to do. call. "White beard?"

The emperor, who was still sulking, said quietly from a distance, "Don't be so unruly, call me sir."

Zhu Jianshen said in his heart that as long as I can stand up, I will go over and arrest you.

It looks like the emperor is as immobile as a mountain, in fact he tried many times to stand up without the help of his hands... umm...

"Oh!" His Royal Highness was obviously relieved: "Sir, what does this word read?"

The old gentleman told him this word with a smile. According to the attitude of Shuowen Jiezi, how to write this word in Dazhuan, what was the meaning at the beginning, it was first seen in that book, and what meaning was derived later—— For great Confucianists, saying that a certain word was used in a certain poem is not high-grade, it has to be said that it was used in a certain ancient book.

Later, the character changed from seal script to official script, and from official script to regular script, and derived certain meanings.

Zhu Youzhen was dizzy from hearing this, and opened his mouth: "Wow, sir, you are just like my mother~ so amazing~"

Although the words do not convey the meaning, everyone understands that what he is talking about is knowledge.

The emperor took the lead to cover his face, and laughed loudly. It's really funny that a well-learned Confucianist got such an evaluation.My son is sincere~ You may feel wronged~2333~

The old gentleman was really not angry, and took the opportunity to ask: "Is the imperial concubine teaching His Highness how to read every day?"

"Yes." Zhu Youzhen began to show off that he knew a lot of things, and every day he learned a lot of things he didn't know before, so he was very happy: "Plant a grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn... Forests are facing Wu, mountains are facing mountains. The day is always against the leisure of spring. The depth is against the respect, and the greatness is against the hardship. The skirt is curling, Pei Shanshan. The fortress is against the pass. The dense clouds are thousands of miles away, and the new moon is a hook."

A two-year-old child who can speak clearly and recite poems is simply a genius!Is a big genius!Not only has a superb memory and never forgets, but also is open and generous and articulate.

Zhu Jianshen felt that everyone's attention was on the prince, so he stretched out his hand and waved indifferently. Two eunuchs hurried over, one left and one right helped the emperor get up, and then he walked lightly behind the screen.Whispered to Wan Zhen'er: "What they said just now was directed at the queen mother, don't be angry."

Wan Zhen'er quickly raised a finger: "Shhh! Don't let the outside hear." As she spoke, she stood up, hugged his arm, and patted his back.

Only then did Zhu Jianshen feel aggrieved, and sat beside her aggrievedly, and whispered, "Go hunting tomorrow?"

"Okay."

"Dabao seems to like him very much. I plan to hire him as a teacher. What do you think?" Zhu Jianshen suddenly felt that whispering in such a whisper, there are many ministers across a screen, but I am hugging my mother here, it is simply too exciting up.He couldn't help touching her chest lightly, which made him happier than ever.

Wan Zhen'er didn't say a word: "Look at it again, I'm afraid that the great Confucian scholars would value literature over martial arts."

"Well, that's true." Zhu Jianshen kissed her on the neck, and then asked: "How about letting Zhang Mao teach Dabao the art of war?"

"Okay!" Wan Zhener whispered: "In the future, we will take him hunting~"

There was a hint of impatience on the little black fat man's face. He just wanted to stay with his sister Wan, and he didn't want a clingy child to disturb him.Going to court and reviewing the memorials took up most of the day, and these hours were when the prince dominated the imperial concubine. After finally finishing his work, he still wants to make trouble here?

Concubine Wan Gui saw it, although she didn't understand why the baby was so cute, why he didn't like it, but well, Jianshen was also very cute when he was a baby, and the first emperor didn't like to talk to him... It's strange.

She smiled: "Put him in the Compassionate Ning Palace tomorrow, let's go out and have a good day."

Zhu Jianshen became happy, and continued to touch and touch, until the two of them became interested, they crept behind the screen to the door, left the hall, got on the dragon chariot and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

The emperor's eyes glowed green, and he smiled wickedly: "I read history books recently and saw the story of Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian. Sister Wan, have you read it?"

"have not seen."

"The empress is confused. If you sit at the same table, if you go out, you will join the horse. I hope that life and death will be together, and the ministers will be able to meet the beauty of Concubine Feng." The emperor secretly thought, it must not be so simple, and he must do it in front of the ministers. Feet, wow.

After applauding for love for a while, the emperor lazily ordered: "Go and tell them that the sutra banquet is over, and I am selecting a teacher for the crown prince."

The Great Confucianists were a little dissatisfied just now, but their attention was diverted again.

Zhu Jianshen was able to eat and sleep peacefully, and went hunting the next morning.

Wan Zhen'er was dressed in military uniform, with a shiny golden helmet on her head and a chain mail armor on her body. She rode her big black rabbit (Wuyun Treading Snow) around the emperor twice, slipped her horse, Let yourself be active too.

Zhu Jianshen only wore cotton armor and a helmet. His helmet was iron-plated with bright silver and had two golden dragons on it. It was quite gorgeous. On the helmet was a small stick with a dazzling red tassel.Slowly got on the horse, and also slipped the horse twice at the gate of the imperial horse prison in the palace, looking for the feeling before setting off.

It is a big event for the emperor to go hunting, and the road will be closed along the way, accompanied by hundreds of imperial guards and dozens of military officers.

Just as Wan Zhen'er was holding a hard bow, shooting a pheasant and a quail with one arrow, Zhu Jianshen suddenly exclaimed: "Look quickly! Look which side!"

I saw hundreds of white cranes flying over like white clouds, covering the sky and covering the sun, and there was a crystal green aura hovering in the direction of Prince Tan's mansion, just like the color of Hetian sapphire.
