Lao Zongyuan took the thin volume of Spring and Autumn from Feng Jing's hand, then held it carefully, came in from the side of the curtain, and presented it to Empress Dowager Gao.
Empress Dowager Gao took the Spring and Autumn Volume and opened it to read.
The eyes lit up.
Although Empress Dowager Gao was a female, she was born into a famous family and grew up in the palace since childhood.
My aunt, Ci Sheng, taught me face to face. During the Renmiao era, famous officials gathered together and there were countless Confucian officials.
Naturally, her Confucian literacy is not low either.
Although she had not studied the "Spring and Autumn" very carefully, she had heard people mention it and discuss it.
The first chapter of the Spring and Autumn Annals is the Lin Ching.
Confucius expressed his great righteousness in a subtle way, hiding it in his words. He not only stabbed rebellious ministers and traitors, but also warned those who came after him.
It is by no means what Wang Anshi said, "the report of the emperor's death", on the contrary, it is actually the true meaning of the sage!
The scriptures she gave to Sixth Brother include the Three Classics of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Jiguliang, Zuozhuan, Gongyang.
The volume delivered to her was Chunqiu Guliang Biography.
I just turned over the first page and saw the lines of words circled in ink, as well as the small pieces of paper stuck between the lines on the page.
Empress Dowager Gao had already begun to nod.
Judging from the circled words and the words heavily circled with ink, Brother Six really read it carefully.
Not only did I read it, I also thought about it seriously.
Those notes stuck between the words are the result of Liu Ge's thinking.
"Good luck to the country!" Without even looking at the content, Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but clapped her hands in praise.
The academic attitude is so rigorous, even if the rest is wrong, it is still excellent.
Look at the circled words in the book again.
Queen Mother Gao's expression was even more joyful.
The small pieces of paper with small regular characters also made Empress Dowager Gao very happy.
This is natural.
In his previous life, Zhao Xu lurked in his shadow for nine years and secretly observed him for nine years.
Zhao Xu can be said to be the most in-depth study of Empress Dowager Gao in the world.
Every word and every comment made by Zhao Xu is just what he likes.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at it and was immediately fascinated.
Before I knew it, the thin book had been flipped through.
Empress Dowager Gao put down the book in her hand, then looked outside the curtain and found that Feng Jing was still prostrate in front of the curtain.
So, he softly ordered: "Old Zongyuan, give Feng Qing a seat!"
Feng Jing was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "How can I dare to sit in front of you, with my despicable body?"
Empress Dowager Gao said: "This is a gift from me to reward you for serving the Prince of Yan'an County and studying!"
Feng Jing then tremblingly sat down on the porcelain pier that Lao Zongyuan brought for him. Even if he sat down, he only dared to put it on the corner of his buttocks.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Gao nodded slightly, respectfully and cautiously, this is what a minister should be like!
It seems that the emperor chose the right minister to serve the prince.
Unlike King Yong, the ministers around the children of King Jia's family knew every day and tried to make the princes happy and buy them all the things that would make them lose their morale.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Gao warned Feng Jing: "You must not be arrogant because of this. You must obey and serve the Prince of Yan'an in the future!"
"Yes!" Feng Jingzhan stood up and bowed tremblingly: "I respectfully obey your Majesty's will!"
In Feng Jing's mind, the image of Prince Yan'an in Qingning Palace flashed across his mind.
A shiver ran through my body.
Does he dare to be arrogant in front of the Yan'an County Prince?
He wouldn't even dare to borrow ten of his courage!
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Feng Jing's respectful look and became even more satisfied. After thinking about it, she said, "You go back first and come back to Laoshen Palace tomorrow to retrieve the Prince's Book!"
"Yes!" Feng Jing bowed again and stepped back respectfully.
Seeing Feng Jing bending down and disappearing behind the palace door respectfully, Queen Mother Gao called Lao Zongyuan in front of her and said: "Go and fetch Zhang Shiliang!"
"yes!"
Empress Dowager Gao picked up the book again.
The emperor's grandson, the Prince of Yan'an County, received a book from his mother-in-law and respectfully studied it. Now he sent people to ask his mother-in-law for advice and begged her for advice.
"My great mother-in-law, Sheng Mo, is glorious and kind to the world... I will expound the teachings of the saints and not hesitate to speak the words of kindness!" Empress Dowager Gao chewed gently in her mouth, and a rosy color appeared on her old face.
Although she is the daughter of a military commander, she has also read the books of saints.
When she was in the boudoir, her aunt Ci Shengguangxian personally taught her to read "The Biography of Lienu".
Taijiang, the mother of Wang Ji, has a daughter of the Tai family. The king married her as his concubine. She gave birth to Taibo, Zhongyong, and Wang Ji. She was honest and obedient and led the way, but she made mistakes. When the king plans to move, he must go with Dajiang. Gentleman said
Da Jiang is famous for his moral education!
Above the ancient history, Taijiang’s reputation will be passed down through the ages!
For Empress Dowager Gao, if she could teach a wise king, a generation of holy lord.
Then, in the future, even if the status of Qingshi is not as high as that of Taijiang, Tairen, or Taisi.
It should be possible to catch up with Empress Dowager Deng of the Han Dynasty, Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty, and even Empress Zhang Xianmingsu of this dynasty, right?
At the very least, it should be possible to surpass the reputation of her aunt, Empress Ci Sheng Guangxian, among the scholars in the world.
The more Empress Dowager Gao thought about it, the happier she became.
She is extremely strong and very face-friendly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Shiliang, who was working in the Imperial City Department, arrived in front of Empress Dowager Gao.
Zhang Shiliang thought that Empress Dowager Gao called him here to urge him to collect news from the government and the public, so he planned to take this opportunity to speak ill of Shi Deyi, the big Diao Dang who had just returned to the palace, in front of Empress Dowager Gao.
So Shi Deyi was sent back to Xuanpingfang for retirement.
Unexpectedly, after he had just saluted and before he had time to speak, Empress Dowager Gao said to him: "Zhang Shiliang, do you know, among the ministers in the court today, especially in the Academy of Academicians, which minister is the most appropriate in administering the Spring and Autumn Annals?"
Zhang Shiliang was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He lowered his head and replied: "Quizui: As I know, there are many famous ministers in the Spring and Autumn Period in the imperial court. In terms of reputation, talent and learning."
, then it is recognized that Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar, has inherited the decree!"
"Deng Runfu?" Empress Dowager Gao recalled for a moment and then thought: "In the seventh year of Xining, he was the one who managed Zheng Xia's prison, right?"
Zhang Shiliang lowered his head and said nothing.
"Zheng Xia is a gentleman. Deng Runfu will punish him seriously. No! No!"
Empress Dowager Gao remembered it very clearly.
In the sixth year of Xining, Zheng Xia took advantage of his position to draw a picture of the miserable conditions of the refugees he collected among the people, and delivered it to the Yintai Department on horseback. He also said: "I can already cry with my eyes, but what's more?"
What about this? Just as your Majesty said, if there is no rain for ten days, he will be beheaded outside Xuande's gate for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
The emperor got it and burst into tears.
So he issued the "Edict of Responsibility and Gong" in order to speak frankly.
Sure enough, three days after the edict was issued, it rained in Bianjing.
The treacherous minister Wang Anshi was dismissed as prime minister, and the emperor also abandoned the so-called new law for a time.
However, the treacherous ministers surrounded the emperor and persuaded him day and night, so that the emperor finally changed his mind and exiled a gentleman like Zheng Xia.
Every time Empress Dowager Gao thought about this matter, she felt disgusted!
Now, how could he allow such a treacherous official to come to him and advise him?
Zhang Shiliang naturally knew that this would be the result. He lowered his head and said, "If this is the case, then I would recommend Zeng Bu, the Hanlin scholar!"
"Zeng Bu?" Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Zhang Shiliang hurriedly said: "I am telling you that the late brother of Zeng Bu, a Hanlin scholar, Zeng Gong, who lived in Zhongshushe, was ordered by everyone to be the emperor's pavilion secretary. At that time, everyone made the emperor's six sons the princes of Yan'an County.
It’s a thank you note made by Zeng Gong on behalf of the Prince of Yan’an!”
When Queen Mother Gao heard what Zhang Shiliang said, she suddenly remembered and said, "I remember that back then, Sixth Brother's thank you form was presented to me. I saw it at that time and even praised Sheren's talent!
"
The thank you letter that year really shocked Empress Dowager Gao.
The writing is gorgeous and the wording is respectful, especially the sentence: "False lingering light shines on the child's teeth. It's because of the strange number, and the wretched will be dismissed. If you dare not encourage yourself, you will appreciate the benefits of daily innovation; if you are strong, you will reward Kun Yu's selfishness."
!' Empress Dowager Gao couldn't put it down.
So, he sighed: "Is Zeng Sheren from the old year already dead?"
Zhang Shiliang paid homage and said, "I am reporting to you that Zeng Gong, a native of Zhongshushe, lost his mother in the fifth year of Yuanfeng and returned home to guard the system. He died in Jiangning in the sixth year of Yuanfeng because of grief for his mother."
As he spoke, he added: "The current Hanlin scholar Zeng Bu is Zeng Gong's younger brother. In December last year, he mourned and died, and was personally honored as a Hanlin scholar by everyone..."
When Empress Dowager Gao heard that Zeng Gong died of excessive grief when Ding's mother was worried, she immediately sighed twice: "What a filial son!"
So, he told Zhang Shiliang: "You go to Hanlin Academy and, according to my will, please invite Scholar Zeng to Jiying Hall. I have important matters to ask you!"
