The emperor was well aware of the character of his biological mother. When he heard the last sentence, how could he marry lightly?
In the Nuan Pavilion, seeing the Queen Mother reclining on the soft couch, he walked forward with a relaxed pace.
"Actually, it's not that the royal princess cannot marry young. If those families who want to be the master are willing to let me choose all the boys of the right age, then I will select the outstanding ones and send someone to teach them for seven or eight years. Such a child will be raised.
Son-in-law, I can still accept it."
The Queen Mother was closing her eyes to rest, but when she heard such nonsense, she suddenly opened her eyes angrily and cursed: "Do you all want to make me mad to death?"
"I'm serious." The emperor said solemnly, "Zhu Jing was the Taoist scholar before and refused to keep Zhang Shou, his future son-in-law, at home. Otherwise, Yingying and him would not look up and down to see each other, and she would not have been outside the house since she was a child.
He loves to stir up trouble. And with Zhang Shou’s talent and knowledge, he will catch my eye earlier, and Teacher Ge will definitely show off his student to everyone even more proudly."
The Queen Mother finally couldn't bear to listen to this nonsense, and immediately sat up straight: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I know the Queen's temper very well. She will never give up until she achieves her goal. She is also the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and all the concubines and princesses must obey her orders. Since she has raised such a matter, I think there will always be someone in the court who will raise the corresponding matter.
The motion comes. Therefore, if the Queen Mother hopes that the Qingning Palace will be quieter and the court will be quieter in recent days, then please order the Queen to stay in the palace and think about it for a month."
Seeing the Queen Mother's expression of disapproval, the emperor said calmly: "Of course, as a father, I will also be responsible. After all, the son is not only hers, but also mine. She thought about it in Kunning Palace
I have been thinking about it in Qianqing Palace for as long as I want. Except for court meetings and necessary summons to ministers, I will not go to any concubines every day. In this way, it can be considered even."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother immediately filled her face with anger. However, she found that the expression on the Emperor's face was quite serious and he was serious. She was stunned unconsciously. After a long while, she sighed: "Okay,
According to your."
Those students in Banshan Hall who are from noble backgrounds and have a lot of experience, Zhang Shou are all able to use their hands like an arm and a finger, and those supervisors in Jiuzhang Hall who are from ordinary people and have a lot of experience are no exception. I am delighted that I have gained so much not long after enrolling.
He received the emperor's generous reward, and everyone had a share. Whatever Zhang Shou said, everyone was like Feng Lunyin.
As for Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang, who were in the limelight at Fengtian Palace during the day, Ge Yong personally came over to take them to Ge Mansion at night. They were reprimanded for half an hour. Chu Ying, who happened to be in Ge Mansion, turned around and went out in public.
.However, the news that Zhang Shou sent a letter to return Taizu's manuscript to the emperor, and at the same time invited several students to make copies and prepare to submit them to Ge Yong and other seniors, also spread like wildfire.
As a result, the few censors who had been preparing to impeach Zhang Shou for his arrogance naturally had to stop.
In contrast, when the news that the second prince was blamed and the eldest prince was also blamed was leaked from the palace, there was a real uproar. However, when the new rules for the prince's selection of concubines were leaked, among the ministers
The most common reaction is – That’s it!
Except for a handful of die-hards who adhered to the ancestral system, many officials did not express any opinions. They all acquiesced to the emperor's change in the criteria for selecting concubines for princes, and even gave unconditional support to teaching the princes and concubines for two to four years.
It is rare that the Ming Dynasty has enjoyed a rare period of peace in the more than thirty years since Emperor Ruizong. No one wants to make troubles in the future to support their respective princes in fighting for the heir. Ordinary officials and even princesses and wives from poor families can What kind of support does it bring to the husband? In this way, as long as the emperor cuts off the prince's hand in making friends with ministers, the world will be peaceful.
Although the eldest prince is a bit self-righteous, as long as he ensures that the legitimate eldest son will succeed to the throne, peace and stability can at least last for a while!
But immediately afterwards, the ministers were dumbfounded.
First, it was said that the queen in the palace was dissatisfied with the change in the standards for selecting concubines for the prince, so she went to Qingning Palace and made a big fuss. She even threatened that the prince could only choose Xiaojiabiyu, so the princess should be demoted to the common people. As a result, the queen mother scolded her for teaching her son. Because he had no method, he was ordered to stay in the palace to think about his mistakes. The emperor was also reprimanded for having no method to teach his son, and he was also ordered to cultivate his moral character in Qianqing Palace.
The majestic emperor and empress, in front of the queen mother, should be blamed like those noisy children in ordinary people's homes?
When he learned the news, it was early in the morning when Zhang Shou had a rare day off. Seeing the angry face of Zhu Ying who had tipped off the news, he couldn't help but joked: "Why, are you going to fight for the emperor?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother is too partial. It is obvious that the Queen has no way to teach her son. What does it have to do with the Emperor?"
"Don't forget, they are not only the queen's sons, but also the emperor's sons."
"When have they ever listened to the emperor's words? They always do one thing in front of his face and another behind his back. It was all taught by the queen!"
"It would be too easy for all fathers in the world to blame their sons' bad behavior on their mothers' inability to teach them properly." Although he had a good impression of the emperor, Zhang Shou couldn't help but retorted. When he saw Zhu Ying, he immediately became dissatisfied. Staring at him happily, he changed the topic with a smile and said, "It's rare for me to take a break, so I asked Lu Sanlang to make an appointment with Uncle Weinan, and Uncle Weinan invited us to have tea with Tingyu Xiaozhu."
"Tingyu Xiaozhu?" Zhu Ying's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't care that Zhang Shou went to a seemingly elegant place, nor did she care about the wonderful suggestion of drinking tea. She raised her head and looked at the sky, incredulously Said, "It's broad daylight, let alone Twelve Rains, even those ordinary girls haven't gotten up yet, right?"
Madam, please don’t talk about this topic in such a tone of someone who has experienced it, okay?
Zhang Shou couldn't help covering his forehead, and then sighed and said: "I'm going to talk about a new business, so I have to go to Tingyu Xiaozhu. But Yingying, it's not appropriate for you to follow me to that place all the time. I'm going to call you Your second brother will accompany me and call Zhang Chen..."
"Don't others say that it's an elegant place to drink tea and listen to the piano? Then what's wrong with me going?" Zhu Ying interrupted Zhang Shou without saying anything. Seeing his disapproval, she hummed. He said in one voice, "Let's just call Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu, and Zhang Lu. Later, I will call Princess Deyang and the others..."
Before he could finish listening to the words, Zhang Shou felt his scalp numb and was covered in cold sweat. My eldest lady, are you going to hold a blind date meeting in a brothel? He immediately interrupted without thinking: "Absolutely not!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by Zhu Ying's crisp laughter: "I lied to you! No matter how bold I am, I would not dare to do such an outrageous thing! I won't go, I made an appointment a long time ago
I'm here to talk to you when I drink tea! It just so happens that the Yangzhou Tea House is on the only way to Tingyu Xiaozhu. I'll be chatting and gathering on the second floor. I'm so high up that I can see you."
Unknowingly, she actually smiled so much that her teeth were exposed: "Of course, this can only be seen in appearance. If you have a way, it would be best to get them to say something in the street, so that everyone can have something to say.
Well, I’ll go back and ask my eldest brother to meet you in front of Tingyu Xiaozhu. He will definitely be very happy.”
Seeing Zhu Ying coming and going faster, Zhang Shoudun could only smile bitterly. However, he had to admit that this method was indeed more suitable than meeting him on the street every now and then. Of course, compared to the tacit understanding between the Lu and Liu families, Zhang Shoudun
For the children of Wu, who seem to come from a wealthy family, but in fact have low status and low resources, the marriage problem cannot be solved by the concubine.
It is not popular these days for the emperor and the queen mother to grant marriage! Of course, except for those who are selected to be consorts...
In front of the door of Tingyu Xiaozhu, when Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang, plus Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu arrived, they saw that Zhu Er had already arrived in front of the door, and his face was full of excitement when he saw them.
He came over with a smile. We were all acquaintances, and there was no Zhu Ying. Even when he faced Zhang Shou, he smiled playfully, which made him feel much more natural.
"Tingyu Xiaozhu is never open in broad daylight. Is it possible that we have to knock on the door and go in?"
Lu Sanlang suddenly puffed up his chest proudly: "Of course not! Look at me!"
He whistled directly, and then slapped his hands rhythmically several times. The next moment, the black courtyard door that had just been closed slowly opened. Then, he said proudly: "Weinan
My uncle is kind to Wan Yuanbao, the owner of Tingyu Xiaozhu, so he has 30% of his shares in Tingyu Xiaozhu." Although the real situation is 50%, the poor richest man Wan Yuanbao only has 10%.
Everyone was shocked when they looked at me, even Zhang Chen, who had come to drink tea twice before. However, what they didn't know even more was what Zhang Shou brought them here for. When they entered through the courtyard gate
, they were even more confused when they saw Wan Yuanbao, who was more chubby than Lu Sanlang, come out to receive them, and then introduced them to the most noble waterside pavilion in the middle.
Weinan Bo Zhang Kang was also surprised when he saw Zhang Shou bringing so many people. However, since he was a deep man in the city, he naturally would not show any strange emotions because of this. Instead, he nodded slightly and saw a group of juniors being captured by Wan Yuanbao.
After arranging the seats one by one, he looked at Zhang Shou with a smile and said, "Lu Sanlang told me about Dr. Zhang's idea before. I am really curious."
Zhang Shou took out a scroll from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Uncle, please read this story."
Lu Sanlang quickly stood up and delivered the scroll to Zhang Kang on behalf of Zhang Shou. However, he was extremely curious and did not walk away. Instead, he stood beside Zhang Kang. After Zhang Kang opened the scroll, he immediately
He leaned his head over. He always read very quickly. After reading ten lines at a glance, he immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Shou.
"Little sir, this is actually... the story of a famous prostitute in a brothel?" It doesn't match Zhang Shou's usual style at all!
"That's right." Zhang Shou smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea poured by Wan Yuanbao himself, and said calmly, "This is the story of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in a peaceful corner of Nanjing at the end of a certain dynasty. This is
Among them, Li Xiangjun's story is called "The Peach Blossom Fan"."
