Xie Xiang

Liu Zao sent a person to ask the ministers, "I heard that all the ministers are choosing a teacher for the emperor, but who has been decided to be my teacher?"

This time, the man came back quite quickly, and he said happily: "The emperor has already chosen someone, and it is Luoyang Huankuang."

"Luoyang Huankuang?" Liu Zao had never heard of this person's name, but she thought she had little knowledge, so she didn't underestimate him because she didn't know his name, but asked with a smile: "What is the name of this person?" ?”

His eyes lit up, and he replied: "This man is the teacher of Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao ascended the throne at the age of eight, and studied under Master Huan. Everyone knows that he is enough to be an emperor's teacher."

Liu Zao also showed a little smile. Since he had been Emperor Zhao's husband for six years and had not been deposed, it can be seen that he is a good man.But she didn't say good immediately, but asked again: "Who proposed to use Master Huan?"

The person who went there replied, "It's thanks to Xiang Xiang."

Only then did Liu Zao nod his head: "Very good."

After appointing the emperor teacher, Liu Zao felt hopeful again.Although she was eager to get in touch with government affairs, she didn't think she could issue orders with her knowledge.She really needs a good teacher.

It's just that it will take some time for Luo Yang to come to Beijing.Liu Zao still has to wait.But if he waited any longer at this time, it would be different from the previous two days. Liu Zao was full of confidence.

She stood up and walked out of the hall.Knowing that she was in the right mood, Chunhe also followed closely behind with a smile.

When I arrived at the gate of the hall, I saw Gongsun Chuo coming over with melons and fruits. Seeing her going out, he hurriedly retreated to the side of the road to salute.

The Empress Dowager came that day, and sent Hu Ao and Gongsun Chuo to Weiyang Palace that night, and presented them to the emperor.But Liu Zao didn't dare to trust them, not only the two of them, but she didn't dare to trust too much any other member of Weiyang Palace.

What happened in Weiyang Palace at noon, the Empress Dowager will know in the afternoon, so someone must have tipped off the news, but I don't know who it is, one person or two, or many people in her palace, all follow the Empress Dowager's order.

Liu Zao quickly walked out of the Xuanshi Hall, followed the palace road, and headed for the inner garden.

Weiyang Palace is huge, occupying about half of Chang'an City.Liu Zao hadn't seen the scenery in the palace yet, when he saw grand palaces and elegant pavilions, he couldn't help being dazzled.

Chun He only thought that His Majesty was in a good mood, so he had the pleasure of enjoying the autumn scenery in the palace, so he explained it with all his heart.The palaces and towers all have names, most of them were built by Emperor Gaozu when he ordered the tripod to rule the world, and some were expanded by Emperor Wudi when he was Emperor Zhaodi.

"Your Majesty lives in Chengming temporarily. When the weather gets cooler, you can move to the Greenhouse Hall. The Greenhouse Hall is next to the Proclamation Room, which is much more convenient. That is the Gouyi Hall, where Mrs. Gouyi used to live. The beauty of the country and the beauty of the palace is boundless, but no one has lived there since Madam, and there is still a portrait of Madam hanging in it. Would Your Majesty want to go inside and take a look?"

Mrs. Gouyi is the grandmother of King Changyi.Liu Zao remembered that she stopped for a while and looked at her from a distance.Outside the hall, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the fallen leaves are falling everywhere. The bricks and tiles on the hall are also frosty, showing the ravages of time.Just looking at the scenery outside, it is difficult to describe the magnificence of the past.She thought about it, shook her head, and moved on.

Not far from the Gouyi Hall is the Jiaofang Hall. The Jiaofang Hall is the residence of the queen. Liu Zao has not yet married, so it is naturally vacant. Going further inside is the Yeting.

Yeting, also known as Yongxiang, was the place where concubines and courtiers of humble status lived. Liu Zao was born here.

"This is Yeting." Chun He looked at the little emperor's face, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a look?"

Liu Zao looked dazed and walked over slowly.There are low tile houses everywhere in Yeting, some are dilapidated and some are taller.The houses are next to each other, and Liu Zao tried her best to search for a picture that coincided with the scene in front of her, but unfortunately she failed, because she did not remember this place.

Suddenly, Liu Zao stopped, looked down, and saw a piece of tile. She bent down to pick up the tile, and saw the words "Longevity is young" engraved on it. Looking around, she saw a tile house with low eaves. , a lot of roof tiles fell off, the piece in my hand probably came from there.She picked up two more tiles to look at. The tiles were all engraved with words, such as auspicious prayers such as "Longevity", and majestic and majestic "Han merged with the world".

Chunhe didn't dare to disturb her, she thought that His Majesty would go further in, maybe he would summon Ye Ting Ling to ask her where she lived before, but His Majesty looked at a few tiles with great interest, and then moved Wadang threw it back to the ground, shook his head, and went out.

Chunhe couldn't see what the emperor was thinking, so he followed carefully.

Weiyang Palace is so big that Liu Zao traveled for half a day, but he didn't set foot in half of the land.When she visited the forbidden area, she didn't want to see the scenery, but she wanted to see a palace so that her grandmother could live in the palace.

Liu Zao misses her grandmother very much, and she wants to wait for a few days, when the situation is clearer, and then pick up her grandmother.

The palace people served the emperor for a tour of the inner garden, Liu Zao returned satisfied, and did not tell anyone about his plans, even Chunhe couldn't guess what the little emperor was thinking.

For the rest of the half month, Liu Zao was free to study in the proclamation room, and there was a grand court on the first day of September.Liu Zao went back to the court again, with solemn etiquette, accompanied by ritual and music. The ministers held wat boards and stood under the Highness, all of them looked solemn, and they didn't even dare to look up at the emperor, which made Liu Zao give birth to the fact that she was already awe-inspiring. Convincing people's illusion.

But after the Great Dynasty, no one cares about her.

In the court, several important matters were discussed, Liu Zao knew his situation, so he didn't speak easily, he just listened.The king of Changyi was demoted to be a commoner, and the imperial court entrusted him with 200 fiefdoms for support, and sent someone to send him back to Changyi.Nearly [-] of his attendants were executed, and Wang Fu and his staff were all convicted.

Liu Zao listened intently as he read the instructions one by one, but he didn't hear the name of the general.The general stood behind Xie Yi, with respectful hands and solemn expression, without dissatisfaction or fear.

Although Liu Zao was still puzzled, she didn't raise any questions. When the minister finished reading the disposition and asked the emperor what he wanted, she only said one word: "Yes."

Liu Zao didn't see some clues until the dynasty was scattered.The general's words and deeds are all in accordance with Xie Xiang, and Xie Xiang also defends when a minister wants to question the general.It can be seen that the reason why the general was not convicted in the demotion of King Changyi was because he was attached to Prime Minister Xie.

You can see that there is nothing she can do.Liu Zao put down his mind and concentrated on his studies, and sometimes he was willing to listen to Chunhe talk about the past events of Emperor Wu's reign.

The most talked about is naturally that Emperor Wu attacked the Huns, and General Wei won seven battles and seven victories.Occasionally, some small interesting things are mentioned, such as Dongfang Shuo's funny and wise, often talking and joking in front of Emperor Wu, acting as a comedian.Another example is Zhang Tang, a cruel official, whose family is as poor as a penny, and who is dedicated to sharing worries for the king.Emperor Wu's 54 years of royal power, all kinds of deeds, countless.

Liu Zao listened with great interest, and one thing caught her attention.After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he enfeoffed his mother's family. In addition to the two uncles who were enfeoffed as Marquis, he also respected his grandmother as Lord Pingyuan, so that the elderly could spend their old age in peace.

Liu Zao wrote down this matter, and in the future, she will also be kind to her mother's family, so that her grandmother will be honored endlessly and enjoy wealth.

Until the end of September, Huan Kuangfang arrived in Beijing.

When Liu Zao met Huan Kuang, he was a square old man with mostly white beard and a very honest complexion. When he saw her, he bowed down and bowed down, performing his etiquette meticulously.Liu Zao couldn't wait to start listening to the lecture, Huan Kuang didn't delay, and immediately unfolded the slips to teach.

The teaching place is in Bailiangtai.The Bailiang platform is more than [-] feet high, with cast copper as the pillars and cedar wood as the beams. Standing in it, the cedar wood is fragrant, and the curtains of the windows on all sides are closed.

Liu Zao wanted to sit face to face with Huan Kuang. They each placed a long table in front of them, and put a bamboo slip on it.

Huan Kuang spread out the bamboo slips, his voice was low but clear and bright: "I first teach Your Majesty the Book of Songs."

Liu Zao originally thought that Huan Kuang would tell her some world affairs, no matter how bad it was, he should teach the classics of Confucianism and Legalism, but he didn't expect that he would teach her the "Book of Songs".

She has already learned "The Book of Songs" and can recite it backwards.

Liu Zao said: "When I was young, I read the "Book of Songs" with a gentleman, so I don't need to learn it again. Teacher Huan should teach something else."

Huan Kuang raised his eyes, his face sank, his words were still respectful, but his tone was a bit straightforward: "I taught the late emperor to read, and it was also taught in the "Book of Songs". Poems express ambition, and songs express love. What your majesty learned before may not necessarily be It is a minister who wants to teach. Your Majesty might as well guard against arrogance and impetuosity, listen to a few articles, and then talk about others."

Since he said so, Liu Zao had no choice but to agree.

Then, Huan Kuang began to lecture eloquently.A piece of "Guanju" talked about it for a day, but it was only the beginning, from the gentle lady to the virtue of concubines.

Liu Zao tried his best to concentrate, and finally made it to school.Come back the next day and talk about "Guan Ju", but expand it, and talk about some customs of the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that from beginning to end, it has nothing to do with governing the country.

Liu Zao endured another day, and on the third day, he finally finished talking about "Guan Ju" and began to talk about "Ge Qin". "Ge Qin" is still about the virtues of concubines, women's appearance, women's virtues, women's words, and women's achievements.Huan Kuang expanded and talked about the virtues of women.

An article of "Ge Qin" is less than a hundred words, and he talked about it for three days.

Liu Zao finally couldn't take it anymore, so Chunhe summoned Xie Yi.

The author has something to say:

Liu Zao: I trust you so much, but you treat me like this, I have a little temper.
