Baoqin said to Caiyun: "What, your Majesty really promised the fourth princess to go to school with the princes?"
Caiyun said: "It's not true! Someone saw the fourth princess attending the class of the Marquis of Wuding today!"
Bao Qin said: "Your Majesty is really, hey, I don't even know what to say. Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway, so don't worry about it."
Caiyun said: "Yes, empress. It's just that Mr. Fang's class is tomorrow, and I don't know if the fourth princess will attend it. If the fourth princess goes and is discovered by Mr. Fang, it's hard to say."
"I heard from the guards that Mr. Fang is now a great scholar, and there seems to be no one with a greater reputation than him. If Mr. Fang causes trouble, Your Majesty will probably have a headache."
Baoqin seemed to have remembered something at this time and said: "Caiyun, go immediately to the Chunhe Hall where the three princesses live, tell the fourth princess about this, and ask her to avoid Mr. Fang's class tomorrow."
Caiyun immediately realized, "Your Majesty, you are trying to sell it to Yun Zhi! No matter whether Yun Zhi is going to go to class tomorrow or not, if Bao Qin tells her this, she still owes Bao Qin a favor. A favor."
Maybe it will play a big role in the future.'
Caiyun said: "Yes, empress." Then she turned around and went out, taking several young eunuchs to the Chunhe Hall.
Then Yunxi came after a while. Of course Baoqin took Wenyao to the door to greet Yunxi. But he has also been with Yunxi for these years. Although he still has these etiquette, because Yunxi doesn't like it, he just
Make sense.
Yunxi and Baoqin first had dinner with Wen Yao, and then sent eunuchs to take Wen Yao back to his palace.
After that, it was Yunxi's repertoire when he came to Baoqin Palace. Baoqin's hand was now healed, and he played the piano for Yunxi himself.
Yunxi sat on his seat with his eyes closed and listened as usual. After a while, he took the piano down and asked Ziyan to play the zither for Yunxi to listen to. Then he went to Yunxi's side and peeled chestnuts for him. At this time, the chestnuts in the north were already there.
Ripe, because Yunxi liked to eat chestnuts, and everyone knew it when he became the emperor's grandson, so the local government immediately sent the first batch of chestnuts to the capital after they were harvested.
While peeling chestnuts, Baoqin asked the palace maid to bring over a painting. Then Baoqin said: "Your Majesty, my concubine's mother bought a painting a few days ago, saying it was painted by the late Lord Wei Suwei. Your Majesty
Look, my mother was deceived."
Yunxi also studied calligraphy and painting in this life, and also liked traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. He was considered a serious fancier. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and took the painting from the hands of the palace maid.
Yunxi saw that he had drawn three sheep and said with a smile: "This must be the "Three Yangs Kaitai Picture"."
Baoqin also smiled and said: "It is indeed the "Three Yangs of Kai Tai". Because "Three Yangs of Kai Tai" means good luck and the painting is very good, my mother bought it and gave it to me."
Yunxi looked at it for a while and said: "It should be Wei Su's original work. Wei Su's calligraphy and painting are very good. In the early years of Hongwu, the emperor even asked Wei Su to paint New Year pictures and write auspicious characters."
"It's just that he was a surrendered minister of the former Yuan Dynasty, so his reputation is not obvious. There are still several paintings and calligraphy by Wei Su hidden in the palace. I have seen them all. The brushwork style is similar to this painting. This one should be a real one.
of."
"But I can't guarantee it. Tomorrow I'll let the eunuchs of the Imperial Palace control the eyes, and then I'll let the people from the Hanlin Academy take a look."
"But even if it is not of high quality, this painting is still a fine product and can be hung on the wall." Yunxi knew what fake antiques were made in ancient times, such as the fake antiques of the Tang Dynasty made in the Ming Dynasty, and also in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
They are valuable things, so there is nothing wrong with keeping these things.
Then Yunxi suddenly remembered something, and his hand that was about to hand the painting back to the palace lady stopped in the middle because he remembered where he had seen the name Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi, this was an official from the Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and Orthodox Five Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. He was one of the three Yang cabinets and a minister that Zhu Di trusted very much in history.
Yunxi secretly rejoiced: He just picked up a great minister, and he was very lucky. Then he thought of the other two in the Sanyang cabinet. One of them was named Yang Zirong, also named Yang Rong. It seemed that
Historically, he was a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen's reign, so I don't have much to worry about; there is another Yunxi who has even forgotten his name, let alone his origin. It would be better if this third person was also a Jinshi, but if he was from Zhu Di
It will be difficult to deal with those who come out of the feudal lord.
Forget it, Yunxi thought again: without Zhu Di's purge of the court, there would still be many famous civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, and he would not be missing.
Yunxi was thinking about things, and the others didn't know what to do. The palace maid Caixia on the side was already planning to take over the painting "Three Yangs of Kai Tai", but Yunxi's hand suddenly stopped midway, and Caixia also
I didn't know whether to take it, and I was more afraid of disturbing Yunxi, so I stretched my hand in the air and didn't know what to do next.
Baoqin didn't dare to make any move at the side. It wasn't until Yunxi's expression softened a little that he said softly: "Your Majesty?"
Yunxi regained his composure, handed the painting to Caixia, and said, "Oh, I just thought of something." Then he smiled at Baoqin and said, "This painting of yours is not bad, very good."
Baoqin didn't care what Yunxi was thinking. Seeing that Yunxi was in a good mood, he smiled and said, "As long as your Majesty likes it."
The next morning, as usual, I went to the court first, and then went down to the court to criticize and answer the excerpts.
I don’t know why, but there are more essays today than in the past. After the lunch break, Yunxi still had to continue to answer the essays.
After finally finishing correcting these essays, Yunxi stretched and wanted to go next door to watch the four children studying. Yunxi was afraid that he would not be here today, and Baoqing and Miner would cause trouble to Luan Wei, so he wanted to do it from time to time.
Go check it out.
But at this moment, Fang Xiaoru rushed to the main hall angrily. Anyone could easily see his anger on his face, and the four auxiliary officers and several assistant officials who assisted Yunxi in answering the essays were beside him.
The people in Zhongshu Sheren were about to say goodbye, but at this time they all stopped and stared at Fang Xiaoru.
When Fang Xiaoru walked up to Yunxi, everyone felt that his anger was directed at Yunxi, but Fang Xiaoru himself still suppressed his anger and saluted Yunxi.
Yunxi wasn't quite sure why he was so angry. After he finished his salute, he asked, "Why is Fang Qing like this?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty allows His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess to go to school with all the princes?"
Yunxi immediately knew what was going on, and he secretly blamed Yunzhi. He had obviously sent someone to tell Yunzhi to avoid Fang Xiaoru's class, but why did she go anyway.
Yunxi could only say: "Fang Qing, it's true that I asked the four princesses to study with them temporarily. I didn't ask them to study in the royal academy for a long time, but I can't find a suitable husband for a while now, so
That’s it for now.”
Fang Xiaoru bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, I am not here to remonstrate just because the fourth princess is studying in the Royal Academy."
"I don't think that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. I wonder if the kings, queens, and queens of the pre-Qin Dynasty were carefully taught by the kings of various countries."
"Princes from all over the world, even if they have husbands, cannot be replaced by the words and deeds of their parents! If the mother is uneducated, how can she cultivate a good prince?"
"Although it is not appropriate to study with several princes, it does not matter for the time being. Your Majesty will look for a suitable teacher to teach you. You can also let Her Royal Highness study at the Royal Academy until you find one."
"But," Fang Xiaoru raised his voice and said, "Her Highness the Princess can only study literature taught by ministers and others, but how can she study military strategy? I heard today that the fourth princess went to the military strategy class taught by Wu Dinghou yesterday. Isn't this right?
Is this something a royal princess should learn?”
"I also heard that the fourth princess was discussing with the King of Gaoyang County, asking the King of Gaoyang County to teach martial arts. Your Majesty, if for the sake of safety, you are looking for civilian women who know martial arts, you can serve the princess, but how can the princess practice martial arts yourself!
"
"Whether it's learning martial arts or military strategy, there are no examples from previous dynasties. How can it be like this?"
Yunxi subconsciously argued: "Fang Qing, Queen Wu Hao of Shang King Wu Ding in the Shang Dynasty, and Princess Pingyang Zhao, the third daughter of Tang Gaozu of the Li Tang royal family, have all led troops into battle. Why is there no such precedent?"
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment and said: "The royal family of Li Tang is the descendant of the Hu people, especially in the early years of Li Tang Dynasty, it is full of the legacy of the Hu people. How can we, the Ming Han family, take Li Tang as a precedent?"
"As for the marriage of King Wuding and Queen Wuding of Shang, I have never heard of it. I wonder where your majesty heard about it?"
Yunxi was also stunned, and then he remembered that the wife's affair was recorded in oracle bone inscriptions, which were not recorded in "Historical Records", and the oracle bone inscriptions were not discovered until the late Qing Dynasty. Yunxi's previous life was in the National Library of China and the National Museum of China.
, most of the cultural relics from the Shang Dynasty that we have seen in the Du Museum, especially the cultural relics on display in the "Women Special Exhibition" held by the Du Museum, were only discovered after the late Qing Dynasty. So people now don't know many of the Shang Dynasty.
matter.
Thinking of the oracle bone inscriptions, Yun Xi's thoughts immediately spread out: Should we send people to dig out the oracle bone inscriptions? This is strong evidence that the Chinese civilization has a long history. But can it be preserved now...
At this time, Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty", which brought Yunxi's thinking back to the present.
Yunxi coughed and said, "I probably remembered it wrong." He was unwilling to continue arguing with Fang Xiaoru, and said, "Then I will tell the princesses that they will not go to the military strategy class."
Fang Xiaoru was very curious about the good woman, but Yunxi obviously didn't want to say more, and Yunxi had already promised not to let the princesses learn military strategies, so he left it alone and bowed and left.
When he went down, Yunxi immediately said to Wang Xi: "Call Yunzhi over here quickly!"
