Wu Huaiyu was sitting in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, waiting to meet the prince.
Today is his first day in office after being transferred to Prince Xi Ma. After enjoying a long and relaxing wedding leave, he will finally resume work.
There were also many officials from the East Palace in the palace.
Chongde Hall is one of the side halls of the East Palace. It is to the west of Li Zheng Hall and is where the crown prince studies.
Prince Shaobao, Prince Zhan Shi Li Gang is eighty years old this year. He is wearing a purple robe and has white hair and beard, holding a spiritual rhinoceros staff, but he is still very energetic and has a childlike appearance.
The prince's mentor, who was worthy of being the prince's killer, sat in the palace and looked at each of the East Palace officials with burning eyes.
He is tall and has a serious face.
When Huaiyu saw this person, he couldn't help but think of his glorious deeds as the Prince Killer. This Prince Killer was not called the Prince Killer for nothing. Historically, he assisted the Sui Dynasty Prince Yang Yong, and the Tang Dynasty Prince Jiancheng and Cheng Qian, but three
None of the princes sat firmly on the throne, and none of them even died.
Before killing three princes, Li Gang joined the army as a soldier for the Northern Zhou Dynasty King Yu Wenxian when he was young. As a result, his assistant Yu Wenxian was also killed.
Anyway, whoever he helps will end badly.
However, from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emperors of all dynasties valued Li Gang very much. They felt that he was a noble, upright, honest, honest and courageous person who dared to give advice. He was definitely a good teacher, even though he was a prince.
Li Gang also served as the Minister of Rites during the Wude Dynasty. He had wanted to serve as an official and return home for a long time, but Li Yuan refused. Now that he is eighty years old, Li Shimin actually invited him out to serve as the teacher of Cheng Qian, Prince Shaobao and Prince Zhan Shi.
.
The Prince Zhan Shi's Mansion in the East Palace was modeled after the Imperial Court's Shangshu Province. Prince Zhan Shi was naturally equivalent to the Imperial Court's Shangshu Ling, and he was the first official in the East Palace.
For such an important position, it is not unlucky to choose an old man who is already eighty years old and has assisted the princes of two dynasties but failed to die.
Prince Chengqian hasn't come yet and is already late.
A look of dissatisfaction gradually appeared on Li Gang's face. The energetic old man paused the Lingxi Staff awarded by the Supreme Emperor on the floor tiles, "You are all selected by His Majesty to be subordinate to the East Palace. Although the Crown Prince is young, he is talented and intelligent. But even if
People with extraordinary talents need to be assisted by virtuous people to do good. If the people around them are not decent, they will be induced to do evil.
The prince is the foundation of the country and the crown prince of a country. We, the officials in the East Palace, have a huge responsibility..."
The old man spoke with a strong voice, and it was impossible to tell that he was an eighty-year-old man.
"I know that most of you are young, either from famous families or relatives of distinguished ministers..."
Huaiyu's eyes swept over the other people in the palace. Indeed, as the old man said, the current Crown Prince of the East Palace is only eight years old, and it is impossible to really arrange to learn government affairs and handle state affairs. Therefore, there is no real team equipped, just one after another.
Start arranging some officials.
The people in the palace are either old or young.
Prince Zhan Shi Li Gang is eighty years old, Prince Shao Zhan Shi is concurrently appointed by Pei Ju, Minister of Civil Affairs, who is seventy-nine this year.
Zhanshi Mansion has jurisdiction over the East Palace, Three Temples and Ten Commands, but now it is basically empty. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Six Commands, Four Palaces and Three Guards are all led by the emperor.
The two prime ministers Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian concurrently hold the office of Left and Right Chunfang, and they are both unavailable today.
Under Zuochunfang, there are six bureaus including the Secretary of Economics.
The Economic and Economic Affairs Bureau is equivalent to the Secretarial Department, and the two princes are Xi Ma, one is Wu Huaiyu and the other is Cai Yungong.
Cai Xima is also an old man who is almost seventy years old. He is a good friend of Yu Shinan. He later entered Li Shimin's Qin Palace as a bachelor. He is also a colleague of Xu Jingzong. However, Xu Jingzong is now the county magistrate in Xunyang, and Cai Xima is the county magistrate in Xunyang.
He was awarded the Prince's bachelor's degree in horse racing and literary studies.
There is also an old man with a very ugly appearance. He is Ouyang Xun, the leader of the leadership. He is seventy-one this year. This calligrapher even inscribed the inscriptions on Kaiyuan Tongbao, but his appearance is really not flattering.
The moustache is hunched up like a mountain, the shoulders are buried and the head is not raised, and the face is like a monkey.
This old man is also one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Dynasty. He is also a bachelor of the Xiuwen Academy. Although he is now a master of calligraphy, his life experience is quite tragic. His ancestors and father were both famous generals in the Southern Dynasties. However, when he was thirteen, his father rebelled and failed.
He was exterminated and later adopted by Mr. Jiang, Chen Shubao's favorite.
Kong Yingda and Lu Deming, both eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, were in their fifties and still relatively young. They were responsible for teaching the prince Confucian classics.
Compared with these old men, who were mostly bachelors of the Prince of Qin's palace, young officials like Huaiyu were mostly descendants of distinguished relatives and aristocratic families.
"Prince's family member Li Zhengji, Li family in Longxi, Gu Zangfang." A young man in his twenties stood up and introduced himself. He specifically emphasized that Li family's Gu Cangfang in Longyou,
Li's aunt's house in Longxi is the most prominent house of Li in Longxi, and is also a descendant of one of Li Bao's six sons in the forty-four families of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects.
The real Longxi Li of the Five Surnames and Seven Families only refers to the six sons of Li Bao. The rest are not counted. The six families of Li Bao's descendants who defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty in his early years and later settled in Zhengzhou are the six branches of the Five Surnames.
The Longxi Li should actually be called Zhengzhou Li. Although the Li Yuan family and the Li Jing family are also called Longxi Li, they are not counted among the five surnames. They do not regard you as one of their own.
These people with five surnames also always emphasize that they are five surnames, seven families, and forty-four families.
Huaiyu had already done his homework. This guy with a slender figure and a very pale face had a father named Li Xuandao, one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Dynasty. Fang Xuanling always called Li Xuandao his uncle because Fang Xuanling's father was a famous scholar in the Sui Dynasty.
, a great calligrapher, married Li Xuandao’s cousin.
Li Xuandao was truly a son of the fifth surname. His most remarkable skill was that he was known as the genealogy of the noble families in the world. He knew the genealogy of these noble families very well. No one in the world understood the genealogy of these noble families better than him.
Now he is transferred to the governor's office of Youzhou, Shi, to assist Wang Junkuo.
Li Xuandao was Fang Xuanling's cousin, and the daughter of Fan Yanglu whom he married was also a cousin of the same race as Fang Xuanling's wife, so they were not only uncle-nephew, but also brother-in-law.
Li Zhengji calls Fang Xuanling his cousin, or his uncle.
This person with the fifth surname is very young, but he was born in Rome. His mother is the Lu family of Fanyang, his wife is the Zheng family of Xingyang, his grandmother is the Wang family of Taiyuan, his grandmother is the Cui family of Qinghe, and he is the Li family of Longxi...
·
Li Zhengji's movements were full of the style of an old nobleman, and his words were also arrogant, making everyone feel inferior to him.
Huaiyu was a little disgusted when he saw this kind of proud young master from an aristocratic family.
"The prince's eldest son, Sun Jiaqing."
"The Prince's Attendant, Sun Xiang."
There are two young princes again. As soon as they heard their last names, they knew that they must be from the Queen's family. Sure enough, the eldest son Jiaqing was the Queen's nephew. He had been the attendant of Zhongshan King Li Chengqian five years ago. He is now
The doctor of the East Palace Gate and the prince's attendant.
Changsun Xiang is also the nephew of Queen Changsun, and Li Jing’s sister-in-law Changsun is Changsun Xiang’s biological aunt.
"Prince Qianniu Helan Chushi!"
"Prince Qianniu Yang Zhengben."
"The prince traveled to Ben and sent his general He Qian to inherit the throne."
These people are also very young and all have military backgrounds. Helan Chushi is said to be Hou Junji's unmarried son-in-law, and Yang Zhengben is Wei Zhaoyi's brother-in-law, the Hongnong Yang family.
He Qian Chengji's name sounds like a Hu. In fact, it is said that his ancestors were also Han in the past. The Xianbei surname given to him during the Northern Wei Dynasty is indeed a bit Hu. This man joined the Tang army when Li Shimin defeated Liu Heita, and he also made some achievements.
.
During the previous battle at Miyuan Longqiao, he was under Li Junxian and fought with Huaiyu. He was a very tough cavalryman.
"Prince's family minister Xin Chujian!" The last middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face stood up. This fourth-rank official was said to have a beautiful wife like Yang Zhengben.
Yang Zhengben's wife Wei Dante was known as Xiao Diao Chan, while Xin Chujian's wife was known as Sai Xishi.
It's just that Xin Chujian's family is not as powerful as Yang Zhengben, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family. When Li Yuan just invaded Chang'an, he saw the wife of Xin Chujian, the prince's wife, and took her directly. In order to avoid Xin Chujian getting in the way, Ping also transferred her to another place.
For the county magistrate.
Xin Chujian also endured for nine years. Now that Li Yuan has become the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin doesn't know what he thinks. He actually transferred Xin Chujian back from other places and gave him the post of fourth-grade crown prince.
There are also many princes and princes who hold ministerial and other posts, and they are all descendants of the Xunqi family.
Prince Chengqian made everyone wait for a long time before he finally arrived.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is also a lucky man. He was personally given a name by the Emperor's grandfather when he was born. He was granted the title of King of Hengshan at the age of two and the King of Zhongshan at the age of five. When he was eight years old, because his father succeeded in seizing the throne, he also rose to the top and was successfully promoted.
For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Anyway, Li Shimin often praised the prince in front of all the officials for his intelligence, intelligence, kindness, benevolence, filial piety and deepness, etc. He was simply the best prince in the world.
But today, so many officials from the East Palace came to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. It was their first meeting, and Cheng Qian made everyone wait here for more than an hour, without even saying a word after they arrived.
No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary kid.
Prince Li Gang came up and criticized Cheng Qian sternly and fiercely. His righteous and stern words almost scared Cheng Qian to tears.
"Today is the first time for you to think about it. Considering that you are still young, I won't be too demanding today. Go back and copy all the eighteen chapters of the Filial Piety Classic neatly and carefully. I will check it myself tomorrow."
Huaiyu has been staring at Chengqian, observing his every move, including every expression.
Cheng Qian's careless and even dissatisfied mood when he came out, then his panic when he was scolded by Li Gang, and then the anger that flashed in his eyes, he could all see it.
The child was very unhappy.
Also, Li Gang's education method is too rigid and intimidating. It may be easier to use against ordinary students, but it is obviously used in the wrong place to deal with the crown prince. He is inferior to one person and is worth millions.
The prince above all men.
Even if it's small, it's not something you can scare casually, it will only be counterproductive.
Thinking about Cheng Qian being so rebellious later, it seems that the key is that there is a problem with education. Unfortunately, Li Shimin does not understand this. He only knows to arrange teachers who he thinks are good, loyal and upright teachers to the East Palace, but does not consider such teachers.
Not appropriate.
During this first meeting today, Li Gang had already offended the prince.
In contrast, another Shao Zhan Shi Pei Ju, although he was almost eighty years old, was worthy of being Yang Guang's confidant. He did not directly reprimand and educate the prince, but instead comforted the prince.
But Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, Ouyang Xun, Cai Yungong and other old bachelors are all very knowledgeable, but educating children is too simple and rough. They scold and punish them for copying...
Huaiyu did not step forward, but watched from behind. Facing this eight-year-old prince, Wu Huaiyu was not mentally prepared yet and did not know how to face and get along with him.
