Chapter 32 Queen Xiang: Its clear at a glance whether people are far or near (Qiuzhu)
Read, please vote for me, please give me a reward)
Zhao Xu leisurely read books all morning.
In the meantime, he also copied the "Disaster Elimination Sutra" again.
Obviously, Zhao Xu did it on purpose.
He deliberately kept the answer from Empress Dowager Gao, waiting to come to the empress.
A few moments later in the afternoon, Queen Xiang arrived at Qingning Palace.
"Mother!" As in the past few days, Zhao Xu saw Empress Xiang and immediately ran towards her. Then he hugged Empress Xiang tightly and knelt down to greet him. On the latter's face, he gently kissed her.
A kiss: "You are here, I have been waiting for you!"
Queen Xiang happily hugged the little child in front of her and touched Zhao Xu's little head: "What are you waiting for me to do?"
"But I want to ask my mother about knowledge!" Zhao Xu opened his clear and flawless eyes of a child and said seriously.
When the queen heard this, and then looked at Zhao Xu's serious, cute, well-behaved and sensible appearance, she was overjoyed and moved for a moment!
"This child is really good!" Queen Xiang sighed in her heart, her eyes becoming moist unconsciously.
Since that day, Concubine Zhu De thanked her in front of her, and then she personally took Concubine Zhu De to Baoci Palace.
Everyone in the palace knew that Consort Zhu had entrusted the care and upbringing of the emperor's sixth son, Prince Yan'an, to the queen of the middle palace!
In other words, now, Zhao Xu is not only her son in terms of etiquette.
In fact, Queen Xiang and Zhao Xu also have a mother-son relationship.
So, now, Queen Xiang heard that Zhao Xu wanted to ask her for advice.
This feeling is understandable!
Xiang Queen took a deep breath to calm down, and tried her best to hold back the hot tears in her eyes and prevent them from falling out. Then she said to Zhao Xu, "What's not clear about my son?"
Unlike Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Xiang's family is a scholarly family that has been around for generations.
Although, the reading culture of the Xiang family has deteriorated significantly since the generations of Empress Xiang's father and grandfather.
But after all, it is the foundation of the prime minister's family.
In addition, the timing of Queen Xiang's birth was also very clever.
When she was born, it was the sixth year of Qingli, and the Qingli New Deal had already failed!
Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Du Yan were all released. This was a misfortune for the court, but a great blessing for the world!
The failure of the Qingli New Deal made Fan Zhongyan understand that schools must be established and talents must be obtained!
This was the beginning of the vigorous Qingli Education Movement.
From the central Taixue to the state schools and county schools in local states and counties, they were established successively.
At the same time, with the encouragement and promotion of Fan Zhongyan and others, the trend of private academies and personal lectures by Confucian scholars also swept the world.
Mr. Lianxi, Zhou Dunyi, and Mr. Anding, Hu Yuan, are both famous all over the world.
Empress Xiang, who was born under such social trends, received orthodox and complete Confucian basic education in her boudoir.
She can even write good poems and has certain artistic qualities.
Naturally, Queen Xiang was very confident in educating Zhao Xu!
In her opinion, no matter how smart this child is, he is only eight years old.
Judging from the education she received in the boudoir and the accumulation of classics she has read, is she still afraid that she will not be able to teach?
Queen Xiang was even satisfied in her heart.
"My son, my mother will teach you well!"
Zhao Xu then led Queen Xiang to his desk, pointed to the books and papers placed on the desk, and said to the Queen: "When I was a child, I was given a book by my mother-in-law, which was based on the sage's "Spring and Autumn Annals".
...However, I have little talent and little knowledge. It is really difficult to understand the meaning of "Spring and Autumn", so I have no choice but to ask my mother-in-law for help..."
After listening to Zhao Xu's narration, Queen Xiang almost understood the matter, and then said to Zhao Xu: "The Queen understands!"
"It's just that, if my son wants to study in the future, he can send someone to Kunning Palace to talk to the Queen Mother..." Queen Xiang said softly: "Don't go to Baoci Palace anymore and trouble my mother!"
"
"My mother-in-law is an old lady, and she has a lot of respect for the world, so she may not have a lot of time!"
"Does my son know?"
Zhao Xu immediately nodded obediently: "Mother, I understand!"
But in his heart, he chuckled.
Look!
Competition between women is always easy to provoke.
In modern times, a bag, a bottle of perfume, and a lipstick number can provoke an open and covert fight between two women.
And in this Ouchi court, the queen mother and queen, who owns the world, will naturally not compete for such trivial things.
But who can escape fame and fortune?
Queen Xiang may not have a desire for power.
But she also has things she cares about and is willing to fight for.
Her status, her fame, and the wealth of her and the Xiang family behind her were all she cared about in the past.
And now, Zhao Xu has successfully bound him and Queen Xiang together through his own means, forming a mother-son relationship.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's education and custody rights have become what Queen Xiang cares about now.
And what about Zhao Xu?
He is just a child.
It is normal for children to be naive and naive, and it is normal for children to be simple and simple.
Even if he accidentally did something wrong, who can blame him?
What's more, Zhao Xu will not do anything wrong easily.
If he is going to do something wrong, it must be done carefully and to achieve a certain goal.
…
This afternoon, Zhao Xu began to 'study' in Qingning Palace under the guidance of Queen Xiang.
It seems that Queen Xiang is leading everything, and Queen Xiang is also coaxing her.
As for the eight-year-old prince, he just listened carefully, thought carefully, occasionally drew inferences, and occasionally made some remarks that were considered "smart", "benevolent and sage", and "gentleman".
At the same time, from time to time, Zhao Xu would stop listening to the lecture, order someone to make tea for Queen Xiang, or ask Queen Xiang to take a rest, and personally massage the Queen Mother's shoulders and beat her back.
From time to time, he would say something like: Mother, thank you for your hard work, or say affectionately: "My mother taught me earnestly, and my son will remember it in my heart!"
In short, good words are free of charge.
So, at the end of the afternoon, Empress Xiang was filled with joy. Not only did she not feel tired at all, she even felt that even if she taught in Qingning Palace for another three days and three nights, she would not feel any tired at all.
This feeling of teaching her son to read in person, this kind of warm mother-child moment when her son listens carefully, cares about her body, and rubs her ears from time to time.
Queen Xiang felt as if she were drinking fairy brew, feeling light and weightless, as if she was drifting away, wondering what year it was today?
In a daze, sometimes Empress Xiang would have an illusion when she looked at Zhao Xu's pink, rosy, and white face.
It seemed that his child, who unfortunately died young, did not actually die.
He was just kept quietly in the palace by the officials.
Now, mother and son finally meet.
Moreover, as soon as they met, it was as if they had been mother and son for a lifetime.
A loving mother and a filial son!
This made Queen Xiang keep reminiscing and immersed in the warm atmosphere of mother-son communication even after she left Qingning Palace and returned to Kunning Palace.
So, that night, for the first time in ten years, the queen in Kunning Palace sat in front of the dressing table and asked Mrs. Zhang to dress her up.
At the same time, Queen Xiang began to look forward to the teachings in Qingning Palace tomorrow.
She was already immersed in such an atmosphere, and even wished she could stay in this moment forever.
However, the hidden worries are still there.
Queen Xiang looked at herself in the mirror and recalled the afternoon's teachings.
Brother Six is so smart!
Now, although he is immature, he can already ask many questions that make Queen Xiang feel surprised and surprised.
Queen Xiang felt that if things continued like this, she, the queen, might not be able to keep up with Sixth Brother's learning speed.
How is this possible?
But, it doesn’t matter!
Queen Xiang recalled the old stories of the imperial dynasty that her father and grandfather had told her when they were in the boudoir.
When Empress Zhang Xianmingsu came to the throne to take the throne, she raised Renmiao under her knees.
Because Empress Zhang Xianmingsu was busy with government affairs, the care and upbringing of Renmiao was actually raised by Concubine Yang Shu, the later Empress Dowager Baoqing.
This is of course not advisable!
However, Zhang Xianmingsu did something else that won the praise of Empress Xiang's father and grandfather.
That is, let the child prodigy Yan Shu accompany Renmiao to study.
Thinking of this, Queen Xiang asked Yan Shouqin, who was standing outside the curtain behind her: "Yan Shouqin, who is the current secretary of the Prince's Pavilion?"
Yan Shouqin lowered his head and replied: "I tell the sage: The person who writes the note in the Prince's Pavilion today should be Deng Runfu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy!"
"Deng Runfu?" The queen frowned. Like Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Xiang did not like this minister who had been deeply involved in Zheng Xia's case.
Even, to a certain extent, Empress Xiang hated Deng Runfu more than Empress Dowager Gao!
Why did Xiang Jing, the father of Empress Xiang, go to Qingzhou to serve as an official?
The reason is that he can no longer stay in Bianjing City.
Why can't I stay any longer?
Because Xiang Jing was reported, he stalked people in the market and plundered people's wealth!
However, it is common for relatives to shadow passers-by before going to the temple.
Liu family, Yang family, Cao family, Gao family, who has not done this?
Why can’t I do it when I get to Xiang’s house!?
Are you Wang Anshi and Lu Jiawen targeting my Xiang family?
The most important thing is that Xiang Jing contracted an illness and died because he went out to educated Qingzhou.
Queen Xiang didn't have time to see her father for the last time!
This made her and her brother regret it to this day!
As a result, Zheng Xia's status with Queen Xiang quickly rose.
There is no reason, just because Zheng Xia made Wang Anshi lose face and let out a bad breath on behalf of the Queen!
Now, if Queen Xiang can be happy when she hears the name of the person who punished Zheng Xia in the past, that would be called a ghost!
However, Yan Shouqin's words made the resentment in Queen Xiang's heart disappear.
"The saint, the emperor's pavilion secretary, is a minister of the prince of Yan'an County!"
"The story is that the late minister of the country is the emperor's confidant and must be of great use!"
These words reminded Empress Xiang of Han Wei and Li Chun.
These two people were both members of the official's bureau and joined the army when they were hiding in their residences, and they both gained the trust of the officials!
Especially Han Wei, it was Han Wei who recommended Wang Anshi to the officials!
So, he nodded and said: "You are right, but I was negligent!"
Zheng Xia is just an outsider.
Sixth brother is her son.
Which one is near and which one is far is clear at a glance.
Although, Deng Runfu may have never met Sixth Brother.
However, he is the secretary of the Prince's Pavilion, the only latent minister of Brother Six!
that's enough!
So, that night, the queen sent someone overnight to the Qingning Palace and copied the Chun Qiu Gu Liang Zhuan and Empress Dowager Gao's reply from Zhao Xu.
At the same time, Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar who was on standby in the imperial city, was summoned to Jiying Palace by the Queen's decree.
That night, the lights in Jiying Palace were on at midnight.
Note: Shadow accountants, as the name suggests, are entrusting merchants' goods to their own names in order to escape government scrutiny.
What is Kofu?
Before the Market Change Law, the government could buy and sell merchants' goods at will. This was called prostitution, but now it is called free prostitution.
It is also a realistic portrayal of a charcoal seller: a cart full of charcoal, worth more than a thousand dollars, but the palace envoy would not be able to bear it, and half a piece of red hair and a foot of silk tied around an ox's head to fill it with charcoal.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, many businessmen in the Song Dynasty secretly transferred their property and goods to the names of their relatives, senior officials and ministers in order to avoid being punished.
The market changes the law, and the science and technology are eliminated, so as not to replace it with money.
Of course, the market exchange law also has serious drawbacks, which many people know and will not be repeated here.
