Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 330: Hearing the news in the palace and becoming famous in the sacred capital
Chapter 330: Hearing the news in the palace and becoming famous in the sacred capital
In the eyes of the courtiers, the prince and Dai Quan did not have a particularly close relationship. Even the people around the prince thought so. Some smart people used the name of the prince to win over people in the inner court and tried to cultivate the influence of the new generation, but in the end they were useless.
When the prince came forward, these self-righteous people were taken care of by the queen.
Except for the old people in the Chengqian Palace who followed the queen all the way to the palace, no one understood why Dai Quan, the manager of the inner palace, should be called "big companion" by His Majesty the Crown Prince. This is because the relationship between the two completely originated from Empress Wu. In Qiandi, Queen Wu, who was born in a small family, had a difficult time. Wu Shenyan, the so-called scheming uncle of the country, could not enter the capital. The queen had to face the abyss-like back house alone. Fortunately, the manager of Qiandi at that time was
Dai Quan dealt with things fairly and did not treat the queen differently because of her low background. Instead, he appreciated and protected the queen after understanding her temperament.
Emperor Chunzhi was walking on thin ice when he entered the palace and ascended the throne. As a side concubine, Empress Wu had to be cared for by Dai Quan, so she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son without any risk.
Therefore, the queen valued Dai Quan more and more and called him "big companion".
Prince Xiao Xu is eighteen this year. He has been studying with Emperor Chunzhi since the year before last. His temperament has matured a lot, and he has gradually revealed a hint of the princely style.
Emperor Chunzhi had very strict requirements for the prince, and he only granted him half a month's leave on the occasion of the Chinese New Year. However, Xiao Xu did not slack off because of this, and would come to the side hall in front of the imperial study every day to study the memorial.
"The queen mother asked me to bring a bowl of ginseng soup, which is just right for my father. Do you want to check it out, my dear friend?" After saying that, Xiao Xu ordered his entourage to step forward and open the lid of the food box.
"In this case, this slave is offended."
No matter how close the relationship is, the rules must not be messed up. This is Dai Quan's principle in dealing with things. He took the food box, smelled it first, and then checked it again with a silver needle, and then called one of the food supervisors.
As a waiter, take a sip with a small spoon and drink it.
"Your Highness, please wait for a moment after burning a stick of incense, and wait for me to report to Your Majesty first."
"Well, you go ahead."
Emperor Chunzhi in the imperial study felt warm in his heart after hearing Dai Quan's report that the prince had brought ginseng soup. He waved his hand and let the prince in. Without waiting for the taster's servant to report the results, he took a few sips of the ginseng soup.
Drink it.
"Well, it is indeed the queen's craftsmanship. Even the imperial chef in the imperial dining room cannot make this taste."
"My mother said that my father was worried about the affairs of the country and was wasting so much time and energy that she could only eat and talk to show off her concerns."
Emperor Chunzhi looked soothed and nodded: "The queen is also interested." After putting down the bowls and chopsticks, he also put down his thoughts on government affairs for a while, and chatted with Xiao Xu about household matters.
Looking at the scene of a loving father and a filial son, Dai Quan was filled with emotion. This royal matter has never been clear. His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been known for his firmness and seriousness, has a soft heart. Instead, he has always been kind and generous.
Although he was called the Supreme Emperor, the father and son were suspicious of each other, and finally ended up fighting each other.
Although Dai Quan is the adopted son of Dai Zhu, the manager of Longshou Palace, he has served Emperor Chunzhi since he was a child and has a deep affection for the emperor. Now that the country is stable, this is the most comforting thing for him.
The emperor and the prince were chatting and seemed to have remembered something. Emperor Chunzhi asked: "By the way, didn't Duke Yansheng hold a poetry meeting in Guishou Garden today? Who is the leader? Why hasn't anyone come to report back?" p>
Dai Quan was slightly startled, and quickly apologized and left. Not long after, he came back with a few pieces of paper to sign, and then led an internal official in.
The Turtle Garden Poetry Recital is a grand cultural and educational event, and the palace has always attached great importance to it, often sending internal guards to record the grand occasion of the poetry recital.
"What, the leader is Jialan?"
Both the emperor and the prince were a little surprised to hear that the leader of this year's poetry meeting was actually Jia Lan from the Rongguo Mansion. When the inner guards continued to report that Jia Lan had written three New Year's Eve poems in a row, Yan Shenggong said "Jia Lan".
When he commented that "there will be no more Yuanxi Ci poems after Lan Lan", Emperor Chunzhi, who could no longer suppress his curiosity, said: "Hurry up and present the poems for me to take a look at!"
Dai Quan quickly handed over the paper in his hand.
After reading it, Emperor Chunzhi clapped his hands and praised: "What a wonderful person. People have searched for him hundreds of times. Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dim light." Yan Shenggong said it right. After this one, there will be no other Yuanxi poems.
It’s hard to beat it!”
Then he handed the lyrics to the prince Xiao Xu: "The prince should also take a look."
Xiao Xu took it curiously and was full of praise after reading it.
Upon seeing this, Dai Quan flattered him: "It is enough to make Duke Yan Sheng full of praise, which is enough to show the prosperity of our dynasty's culture and education!"
"Ha, you, an old guy, know how to write lyrics?" Emperor Chunzhi laughed and cursed.
Dai Quan apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the lord of sage, with a vast mind and knowledge; the prince is also a wise prince, smart and wise; Yan Shenggong has a thousand-year cultural background, and you three have agreed that it must be the best."
”
It is said that the prince Xiao Xu likes to mix ink and brush. Little did they know that Emperor Chunzhi was also a very good writer when he was young. He just didn't like to be in the public eye and he just enjoyed himself in his mansion all day long. Dai Quan was so flattering.
Just right.
When Dai Quan interrupted, Emperor Chunzhi was very happy. After laughing, he pointed at him and shook his head. He said to the prince: "This old guy can only make some flattering noises. You must remember that as a king, you must always be careful."
Keep a cool head, don't be tempted by praise, and don't be afraid of slander.
Throughout the past dynasties, Dharma reforms have not been fully beneficial and without disadvantages. When doing things, you should consider the difficulties in order to make them easier and achieve the full effect.
The most important thing is that you must always be decisive. Although you must be cautious in planning, you must be brave in doing things!”
The prince cupped his hands and said: "My son, I would like to be taught."
Looking at the young prince, Emperor Chunzhi curled his lips and said playfully: "No, the prince still doesn't understand."
"Father?" The prince's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to say something else when he saw the emperor waving his hand. Seeing this, the prince did not dare to say more. He only watched the emperor show his authority with his eyes and took it from the drawer next to the imperial desk.
Take out a small scroll.
"To the prince."

The prince's face was a little uneasy, but when he saw Dai Quan giving him a reassuring look, he was about to step forward to take it when he saw Emperor Chunzhi pointing his finger at the memorial on the imperial case: "Prince, take this memorial back.
Let’s take a good look.”
"As commanded."
The prince took the two items respectfully with a solemn expression. He knew that this must be a test for him by his father. Ever since he studied with Emperor Chunzhi, he would always examine government affairs every once in a while.
Himself, now the emperor has not said anything, but it has further confirmed that he values two things.
Watching the prince leave, Dai Quan couldn't help but say: "The prince is talented and intelligent, but he is still young after all."
"I know what you want to say, but he is the prince and the heirloom. Since he is in this position, he must take on the responsibility of the prince." Emperor Chunzhi looked at Dai Quan leisurely: "Daban, you know
, there has never been anything romantic inside this red wall and glazed tile..."
Dai Quan was silent.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time, and Emperor Chunzhi on the dragon throne said softly: "A man must build a great policy, and the history of history should be remembered forever? Jia Lan, I just don't know if you can really leave a name in history?"<
/p>
Upon hearing Jia Lan's name, Dai Quan's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
When the prince returned to the East Palace, he immediately stepped back and opened the memorial that Emperor Chunzhi had given him. Xiao Xu, who closed the memorial after a long time, leaned heavily on the backrest of the soft couch, frowning and thinking.
"The wind and rain are like darkness, the government and the public are full, Pingdan, Yinshi~~"
The slightly shrill sound of the watchman in the palace corridor brought Xiao Xu's thoughts back to reality, and the flickering candlelight illuminated his hesitation.
After a long time, he remembered that Emperor Chunzhi had given him a scroll, and he quickly sat up straight and opened it.
"Eh...?"
The scroll is very short, and there is a piece of rice paper mounted inside. The texture of this paper is very familiar to Xiao Xu. It is paper specially used for imperial examinations.
Is this an article?
Xiao Xu looked at it with doubts, and the first sentence that caught his eye was "The sage's learning from heaven is advancing with the times..."
"Good words!"
Xiao Xu praised, not to mention anything else, if he were the examiner, he would immediately have the urge to admit him on the spot.
After reading for a while, Xiao Xu suddenly remembered, isn’t this Jia Lan’s article?
"It seems that this should be Jia Lan's original manuscript. My father actually framed it..." Xiao Xu put down the article in his hand and murmured: "Advance with the times, advance with the times..." p>
There were still many people who didn't fall asleep that night, but after this night, everyone remembered a name, and it was accompanied by Yan Shenggong's comment that "after Jia Lan, there will be no more New Year's Eve poems".<
