The easternmost part of the imperial city, where the East Palace is located
In an elegant warm pavilion, several old and young monks and Confucians were sitting in a circle around a young man in brocade robes with bright yellow trim.
Just looking at the bright yellow embroidered dragon shape on the corner of this young man's clothes, you can tell that this person is the current crown prince of the Wei Dynasty, Prince Lin Xu and Lin Chuyang
The rules for naming the Lin family's royal family are the same as those of the eight great families of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Usually the "names" of brothers of the same generation will have the same radical or the same "attribute". For example, the three princes who are currently expected to become powerful, Prince Lin Xu, and the fourth prince Lin Sheng
, Sixth Prince Lin Xi, the names of these three brothers have different radicals, but they all contain a Japanese character, and their "characters" are mostly defined by explaining the "name", such as Lin Xu's courtesy name Chuyang, and Lin Sheng's courtesy name Yongsheng
,Lin Xizi Chenguang
In comparison, the same is true for the Yun family. The eldest brother Yun Jun, the second child Yun Gang, and the third child Yunzheng. The "names" are all the characters next to the word "gold". So what about their "names"? Jun is the person who bears the most responsibility, so the name Yun Jun is the successor.
Responsibility; Steel means upright and aboveboard, so Yun Gang is named Cheng Lei; Zheng means proud and unyielding, which is the character of the Yun family for generations, so Yun Zheng is named Cheng Feng
Just from the names and characters of the three princes, we can see that Emperor Wanchang actually had great expectations for the prince.
What does the name of the prince, Xu, mean? According to common sense, the rising sun in the east is the first sun, which means that it should be full of vigor and vitality, and eventually become the scorching sun at noon, shining thousands of miles. What is its meaning? It is self-evident.
The fourth prince Lin Sheng, what does the word Yongsheng mean? Yongsheng, if he is the prince, it is natural that the emperor hopes that he can make the ancestral dynasty "eternally prosperous". But, he is not! So this is just an expression of the emperor praying for the prince. I don't believe it.
?Okay, then let’s see Lin Xi again
Sixth Prince Lin Xi, also known as Chen Guang, of course the morning glow is endless and splendid, but please note that he is just the "light", not the one who shines - who is the one who shines? It is the prince Lin Xu! Because he is the one who rises
"Chu Yang"! The morning light should only be the brilliance around him, and should not replace him!
It's a pity that although the emperor's wishes are good, the growth of people and the development of things will not change and distort just because he is the emperor. The emperor wanted Lin Xu to become "Chu Yang" and Lin Xi was just "Morning Light", but in reality
The key is whether Lin Xu himself has the ability to be Chuyang and whether Lin Xi is willing to only be Chenguang.
What's not good is that Lin Xu's performance is really not like "Chu Yang", and Lin Xi's style does not seem to be prepared to just be "Morning Light"
For example, after Yunzheng came to the limelight this time, Lin Xu himself did not feel that this matter threatened him. Now this group of counselors had to explain to him the joints involved and their low political sensitivity.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a person who has been a prince for more than ten years.
"...So, as a result, the Sixth Master's status in the hearts of the poor scholars is likely to increase a lot. Relatively speaking, their expectations of His Highness the Crown Prince will decrease. In this way, for the
His Highness is quite unfavorable, so we came here specially to ask His Highness to make a decision..." Hong Chengjie talked dryly for a long time, and finally concluded
"Huh..." Lin Xu let out a long breath, as if he was glad that he finally got through it. He looked at Hong Chengjie and asked, "Are you done?"
Hong Chengjie choked up and couldn't get angry, so he could only nod angrily: "Well, that's it."
"What about you? Is there anything else you want to say?"
The remaining people looked at each other and shook their heads, but no one was willing to speak. No one wanted to answer this question.
"Oh, that's good." Lin Xu nodded: "That's it... I understand what you mean. Although this matter may not seem like a big deal now, if it goes on without curbing it, the consequences will actually be very serious.
Serious, right? Well, how to deal with this matter? Since several gentlemen have come to find Gu together, they must have a plan, so let’s talk about it, Gu will listen first.”
Monk Zhongde, who was ridiculed by Yun Zheng with a couplet at the same time as Hong Chengjie last time and was very embarrassed, said: "Amitabha, in fact, His Highness the Crown Prince has an innate advantage in vying for the support of poor scholars.
Your reputation is the best weapon." This guy stopped talking when he said this.
Lin Xu looked around the crowd, and Hong Chengjie glanced at the young scholar next to him. The scholar then handed over his hands and said: "What your Highness needs to do is actually very simple. Eight words: cultivate moral integrity and be polite and virtuous."
This young scholar was the one who asked the most classic phrase in *** that day: "Which of these bastards is the gentleman?"
This person is a clan member of the Hong family, named Hong Mingyou. Hong Chengjie should be considered his uncle. However, the blood relationship between the two is quite distant. After the decline of Hong Mingyou’s family, he came to Luoyang to seek refuge with the Hong Chengjie clan.
Uncle, if it weren't for Hong Mingyou's reputation as a talented person in his hometown, Hong Chengjie wouldn't have bothered to care about such a nephew from a distant clan. However, upon seeing him, he discovered that this nephew was really quite capable, and his literary talent, quick wit, and intelligence were all better than his own.
superior
Although Hong Chengjie is greedy, he still values and is willing to recommend the truly capable younger generations in his family. After all, the clan concept in this era is very strong, and everyone is willing to do anything that is good for the family.
A bit more humane than modern society
Now, under the recommendation of Hong Chengjie, Hong Mingyou has initially established his position in the Communist Party, and can be regarded as the core counselor within the Communist Party. This is of course due to Hong Mingyou's own talents, but Hong Mingyou
No one can take away the contribution of Chengjie as a stepping stone.
"Cultivation of morality and virtue, corporal courtesy?" Lin Xu frowned: "Isn't this the basic requirement?"
All the counselors were silent and looked at each other, thinking: If you could do this long ago, why would you still need us chatting here? Isn't this a disguised admonishment to you? You can't even see it.
, this is too much?
"Well, it's a basic requirement, but these eight words are easy to say, but it's really difficult to do them well." Hong Chengjie didn't speak at all, for fear of being cold. The prince didn't like the situation, so he had to take over and answer.
"Since it's hard to do, what else can you say?" Lin Xu became unhappy.
All the counselors looked at each other and wanted to slap themselves. What does it mean that the emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious? This is it! The real master does not take it seriously, what fun are we people having! For a moment, there was no interest, and they all left.
go
After they left, Lin Xu put away his expression and looked coldly at the snow outside, which had lightened a lot. He didn't know who he was talking to, so he just said calmly: "Go and invite Mr. Xiao Hong."
return"
"Yes, Your Highness," a voice replied from nowhere.
