The five hundred and fourteenth chapter is strong for women
After the emperor summoned Chief Hong Shan, the Queen Mother unexpectedly summoned Chief Hong Shan's daughter, Hong, on the second day. She immediately commended her for her pure and filial behavior and good conduct, and gave her a piece of Lu silk. She also sent her confidant Yuquan to give it to her.
Leaving the palace, for many people, was a big question that could last for many days. But at noon on this day, they found that they no longer had to guess.
Because the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict, she ordered the Hong family to serve as Princess Yongping's attendant. She should be treated in the same order and as a prince's friend.
Although among the royal officials in the Tang Dynasty, there was the official position of Prince Friend, except for the most prominent princes in the most prosperous years, most of the time this position was in name only.
Especially those princes who were pitifully left to fend for themselves in the houses of ten kings or even the houses of sixteen kings. They had never seen such an institution as royal officials at all. Wang Fu and Chang Shi had not yet been seen, let alone those who had been in power since the fifth century.
My dearest friend.
In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called official position of "Prince Friend" also existed for a while and disappeared for a while. In addition, princes were often very cautious in conferring titles. Very few could be granted the title of prince when there was a prince. On the contrary, those princes who were entrusted outside were all
They are some outdated and indifferent characters, so the prince himself does not value whether there is such an official position as Prince Friend among the royal officials, and the officials who are named will sigh and be unlucky.
Therefore, after hearing the news, many people rushed to read the book, and finally discovered that Hong's role as the princess's attendant, but compared with the official position of Prince Friend, should be based on the rank. After discovering, they all
I feel a little mysterious.
The princes and friends of the Ming Dynasty were also from the fifth rank!
For ordinary officials, this is not low at all. However, if we look at the goal of the eldest princess, it seems to be far away. Of course, most people think that the title of eldest princess sounds glamorous.
, in fact, it is a bottomless pit. Instead, it is the title of Princess Yongping's Attendant, which can not only enjoy the treatment of the fifth rank, but also be close to the emperor and empress. Isn't it beautiful?
When countless people focused on the Hong family's incident, Zhu Tingfang, who was originally ordered to appease Cangzhou, returned to Beijing and sent several water bandits to the Ministry of War. This was a "small matter", so naturally few people paid attention to it.
.
After all, the Cangzhou matter has been discussed in the court again and again, and then it was suppressed by endless things one after another, such as the sudden appearance of the abandoned queen, such as the imperial chef selection competition, such as the Xinglong Tea House
A very lively business district suddenly formed. For example, a public school suddenly appeared in the outer city...
As a result, both the court officials and the common people felt dizzy. Even Zhang Shou, who was said to have accompanied the emperor to see Chief Hong Shan and Chief Yue Shan yesterday, and today accompanied the Queen Mother to see the Hong family together with Zhu Ying,
, the courtiers were too lazy to express their opinions after hearing about it.
As a handsome, elegant and charming poor young man who has never faded out of people's sight since he arrived in the capital last year, if one day he is like Xiao Lang and Nong Yu back then, and he and Zhu Ying both play the flute and rise to the top, there will be nothing new for them.
.
However, facing the piece of Lu silk and the scroll of imperial orders, Chief Hong Shan, who was arranged to live in Yashe, was greatly disappointed. As soon as the imperial envoy left, he couldn't help but become furious at the Hong family.
"How could this happen? Did you respond improperly when you met the Queen Mother today, and that's why you ended up in this situation? The Hong family has passed down poems and books to the family, and after years of hard work and study, the Queen Mother actually gave you a piece of Lu silk. This is a mockery of your talent.
Is your character worth just this piece of vulgar silk?"
"Then Princess Yongping presided over a literary event as a woman. She is like a chicken. She is arrogant and bold. The Queen Mother and the Emperor indulged her so much, but they still asked you to be her attendant? She is old enough to get married.
What kind of attendant is needed! She must have been slandering the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and this is how you ruined your merits..."
If she married the eldest prince and became the eldest prince's concubine responsible for admonishing and controlling her husband, would this be a great merit?
Faced with a grieving and nagging father, Ms. Hong seemed unusually calm. She neither tried to persuade nor defend herself, because she had long been accustomed to such a father who was strict with himself and even more strict with others, so she simply let him go.
Then she would vent her disappointment. Every time at this time, she was very happy that her father did not become an official.
If a person becomes an official, will he be so angry that one Buddha ascends to heaven and two Buddhas are born, and then wants to kill him? Will he be so angry that his subordinates stab him in the back every day, and then try every means to concoct evidence to kill such a god of plague?
Overthrown?
My father, who pays attention to etiquette, is proficient in classics and history, and has impeccable moral character, but is too ignorant of the ways of the world, thanks to the strict rules and regulations of Yuzhang Academy, he has gained the support of the previous Lao Shanzhang and many Yuzhang Academy
Only with the support of a famous Confucian scholar and local aristocratic families was he able to reach this point safely.
Because those backers believe that in order to maintain the culture of Yuzhang Academy of cultivating Tai Jian Qingliu, such a strict mountain leader is necessary. Of course, if he has the power, then he should be controlled separately...
As for her...she deeply understood the intentions of those people, and she was the one who spared no effort to persuade her father to stay away from official career.
Because no one, no matter the old mountain leader or the famous scholars and aristocratic families, was too embarrassed to persuade her father to give up his career as an official. But she did what they couldn't do, and only then did the upper-class celebrities in Jiangxi treat her as an informed and knowledgeable elder.
The woman was particularly satisfied and reciprocated the favor by praising her as a filial daughter.
They just had to build her a filial daughter memorial arch without a court official!
Over the years, she had rescued poor women one after another through the cracks in her father's rules and etiquette, and selected people who could receive advice. She taught some people skills, and taught some people knowledge, so that they could be educated.
People who are hyphenated but do not understand the world can understand human feelings and broaden the horizons of women who have been humiliated for no reason, knowing that the world is not just about their mother's family and husband's family...
At the same time, she has been quietly looking for some special talents in Zhaoming Academy over the years, and subtly attracted their attention to those miscellaneous sciences that Taoist gentlemen disdain to pay attention to. Of course, this is difficult, because she herself does not understand these.
She could only do something secretly when giving books to people on behalf of her father. Of course, she would never leave any writing behind as evidence.
Even if she misjudges someone, books such as "Mengxi Bi Tan" cannot be used as a basis to accuse her.
Because she had learned from her father's complaints in her early years that the current emperor liked to be unconventional and unconventional, so she only hoped that some students with extraordinary talents would be inspired by these books to write some unique articles and create something special that would impress people.
She noticed Zhaoming Academy. Although it took a lot of time, she finally succeeded.
As for the Queen Mother's current decree, although it is still far from what she expected, it can at least be considered a successful step.
Because although her father was a man of character and propriety, and at this moment he seemed extremely reluctant for her to become the princess's attendant, he would never really reject the Queen Mother's kindness with righteous words, because the eight words the Queen Mother praised her for were also
It's a bit of a pat on the back for my father.
Mrs. Hong stood in silence until Chief Hong Shan said that enough was enough and that she was tired. She was about to give her father a few gentle words of advice and give her father a step down, but a voice came from outside: "Brother Hong, Chief Xiao Shan of Suzhou Taihu Academy
, President Xu Shan from Songjiang Huating Academy has arrived, and we have made an appointment to go out for a get-together, so I am here to ask what you mean."
Chief Hong Shan was so excited just now that he didn't care about the movement outside. At this time, he recognized that the owner of the voice was Chief Yue Shan. He snorted coldly and was about to refuse when he saw Mr. Hong step forward and bow to him.
Gao said something.
"Dad, it is a rare event for all the wise men to gather in the capital. Why don't you go and meet the wise men from all over the world?"
Chief Hong didn't have much interest in this kind of interaction, and he immediately frowned. But Hong persuaded her in a soft voice: "When we came out, didn't Master Hong tell dad that he hoped you would make many friends?
, will it be helpful to get to know more about the famous people in other colleges and make friends with each other in the future?"
Chief Hong, who abides by etiquette, is of course also a person who respects his teachers very much. He respects his mentor from the bottom of his heart, the old chief who handed over Yuzhang Academy to him. So over the years, he has always respected him.
Work diligently.
Having no son and only one daughter, he has always despised those false Taoism that only weighed down the pear blossoms and begonias. After the death of his wife, he abandoned maids and concubines and devoted himself to the academy. As for the family, he completely left it to his daughter to take care of. As for his son, he
I had already made an agreement with my eldest brother, who has many children, that when he dies, he will adopt one, and he is not worried at all that his daughter, who has a reputation for chastity, will be bullied in the future.
Of course, he also knew that the original words that the Chief Lao Shan said to him before leaving were to try his best to understand the outstanding figures in other academies, and then make corresponding preparations to avoid unexpected setbacks in the joint and imperial examinations for the talents of his own academy.
It should be noted that next year, the year of the competition, Yuzhang Academy’s goal is to win one of the Three Tripods with all its strength!
Therefore, when there was a Chief Yue Shan standing outside the door who was neither an enemy nor a friend, Hong's euphemistic reminder was indeed correct, but Chief Hong just felt uncomfortable. So he left Hong behind and walked straight to the door.
, opened the door and saw Yue Shan Changzheng standing there with a big smile, he asked coldly: "Are you going now?"
When Chief Yue Shan was in the yard before, he heard Chief Hong Shan's words that showed no caution or restraint. He knew that he didn't even have to find a way to report the matter, as the people serving here would naturally report the relevant people, so this meeting
Not only did my son show no signs of strangeness, but he seemed more polite and kind.
"That's right, everyone who was summoned this time is here. We can sit down and discuss the truth, which will help us understand a lot."
"I don't know how to drink." Chief Hong Shan didn't care whether he was chatting to death. After saying these words forcefully, he hummed softly, "Just take this opportunity, I will go too."
Learn from the wise men from all over the world!"
Seeing Chief Hong Shan striding out after saying this, Hong smiled bitterly in his heart, but had to show a gentle smile on his face to bow to Chief Yue Shan. Seeing that the Chief of Zhaoming Academy who first arrived in the capital was actually a guest.
He bowed his hand to her politely, then turned around and followed her father calmly. She calmly stepped forward and closed the door, then rubbed her brows.
My father probably didn't know that when he learned that the emperor had summoned his father, the old mountain leader immediately invited her over in the name of his wife. Then when he saw her in person, his very old face was as wrinkled as a bitter melon.
"Yuan Niang, I watched you grow up, just like my granddaughter. If you follow your father to Beijing, you must keep an eye on him and don't let his mouth get into trouble! Hey, I don't expect him to be able to do that at all.
To be the prince's tutor, because of his nature, he is only suitable to stay in the academy. Because of his reputation, even students with extraordinary family backgrounds would not dare to do anything to his teacher."
"But once you become a teacher for the prince, it will be different. Your father is upright and can't rub his eyes. He has to ask questions that he doesn't understand. His students are probably not as stupid as him! But he is so stupid
His temper is suitable for academies, but not for officialdom."
"Of course I know that he has no intention of standing on the side of the emperor. I am afraid that when he comes to the emperor, he will plead for his release. But I am worried that his mouth will offend people in the capital! You must look at him at all times.
Advise him!"
Hong sighed deeply again, then went to the desk, dipped it in water and polished ink, opened another greeting card, picked up the pen and wrote a line of beautiful but sharp regular script on it - "
Mrs. Zhao Guotai Yijian..."
She moved her pen quickly, and she finished writing a greeting note in a moment, and finally concluded with "Hundred thanks to the younger generation Hong". After she finished writing, she saw that the ink was gradually drying, so she took it out in person, but she ordered a mother to be brought with her on this trip.
He went to call a servant girl who was in charge of Yashe, rewarded her with a handful of money, and asked her to find someone to deliver the message to the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
Instead of sending the servant she brought this time to deliver the letter, the Hong family gave the invitation to a mere servant girl in Yasheli, so the invitation immediately appeared in the Li Jianwai Yamen. Lu Chan
He took the greeting card and pondered it over and over for a long time, and finally handed it to Chu Kuan honestly. But to his surprise, Chu Kuan handed it back without even looking at it.
"Find a low-key person to send to Zhao Guogong's mansion, and don't say any unnecessary words."
Seeing the surprise on Lu Chan's face, Chu Kuan said calmly: "President Hong Shan of Yuzhang Academy probably has no intention of staying in Beijing to teach the prince, so no matter how pedantic he is, the emperor will be more tolerant of him. As for this Hong family, since she confessed
Now that we know the purpose of this trip, there is nothing more to say. The Queen Mother's decree has been given, and her role as a filial daughter is a sure thing."
"But what if the Queen Mother still lets her become the eldest princess..." Lu Chan hesitated before speaking.
"Just take it. As for the eldest prince's virtue that cannot be held up by mud, do you think he will become King Xuan of Qi after marrying a good wife? To be honest, even the deposed queen will not do such a thing now.
Sweet dream!" Chu Kuan mercilessly ridiculed the former queen and now the concubine, and then smiled and said, "The Hong family is going to open a school for girls, why not see what she does?"
"Now that the Queen is deposed, the eldest and second princes are also deposed. The third and fourth princes are still young and still malleable. If the Hong family really has that ability... why can't there be one more woman in the prince's division? Mr.
