Chapter 514: Strong for Women
After the emperor summoned Hongshan Chang, the Queen Mother also summoned Hong's daughter Hongshi on the second day, and then rewarded her for her pure filial piety, good character and learning, gave Lu silk a horse, and sent her cronies Yuquan to send her out of the palace, which is enough for many people to speculate on many days. But only at noon on this day, they found themselves not to guess.
Because the Queen Mother issued a decree, she ordered the Hong family to serve Princess Yongping, and she should be treated with rank and treatment, compared with the prince and friends.
Although there was such an official position as Prince Friend among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, except for the most prominent princes in the most prosperous era, most of the time this position was in vain.
Especially the princes who were left to fend for themselves in the mansion of the ten kings or even the sixteenth kings, they have not even seen the establishment of the palace officials, and the prince and the long history have not yet, let alone any princes and friends from the five grades.
And when it comes to the Ming Dynasty, the so-called official position of the prince and friend, the same will be, and there will be none, plus the prince is often very cautious, there are very few people who can be crowned the prince when there is a prince, and those princes who are divided into foreign seals are all outrageous and indifferent roles, so whether there is such an official position as a prince and friend in the palace officials, the prince himself does not value it, and the officials who are pointed out will sigh unlucky.
As a result, many people urgently turned the book after learning the news, and finally found out that the Hong family served as the princess's attendant this time, but compared to the official position of the prince and friend, which should be counted according to the number of products. And after discovering it, they all felt that it was a little mysterious.
The prince friend of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be from the fifth grade!
This is not low at all for ordinary officials. However, if you look at the goal of the eldest princess, it seems to be far behind. Of course, most people think that although the title of the eldest princess sounds glamorous, it is actually a bottomless pit, but it is Princess Yongping who reads this name, which can not only enjoy the treatment of the five grades, but also get close to the emperor, isn't it beautiful?
When countless people's attention was focused on the Hong family's incident, Zhu Tingfang, who was originally ordered to appease Cangzhou, returned to Beijing, and by the way, he also threw a few bandits to the military department, which was a "trivial matter", so naturally few people paid attention to it.
After all, Cangzhou affairs have been in the court again and again, and then they have been suppressed by an endless stream of things, such as the sudden emergence of the waste queen, such as the imperial chef selection competition, such as the Xinglong Tea House suddenly formed a very lively business district around the Xinglong Tea House, such as the sudden emergence of a public school in the outer city......
So much so that both the court officials and the common people have a feeling of dizziness. Even Zhang Shou, who is said to have accompanied the emperor to see Hong Shan Chang and Yue Shan Chang yesterday, and today he and Zhu Ying accompanied the Queen Mother to see Hong's family, the courtiers didn't bother to express their opinions after hearing about it.
As a handsome and leisurely poor 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 Lang Yu back then, and Zhu Ying both play flute and soar, they will not have any novelty.
However, in the face of that piece of silk, in the face of that scroll of edicts, the chief of Hong Mountain, who was arranged to live in the Yashe, was very disappointed, and as soon as the envoy left, he couldn't help but jump like thunder at the Hong family.
"How can this be, did you mishandle when you met the Queen Mother today, so you ended up in this field? Hong's poetry and books are heirlooms, and after many years of cultivation and reading, the Queen Mother actually gave you a piece of silk, is this a ridicule of your talent and conduct is only worth this vulgar and unbearable silk? ”
"What kind of literary meeting did Princess Yongping preside over as a woman, it was simply a chicken Si Chen, arrogant and bold, the queen mother and the emperor indulged her so much, but they still let you be a waiter for her? She's too old to get married, and she still needs to be studied! It must be that she went forward to slander the queen mother and the emperor, and this is why your merit is ruined......"
If she marries the eldest prince and becomes the eldest princess who is responsible for advising and controlling her husband, is this a great merit?
In the face of a heartbroken, chattering father, Hong seemed unusually calm, neither persuaded nor defended, because she had long been accustomed to such a strict self-disciplined and even stricter father, so she simply let her father vent his frustration there. At this time, she was very glad that her father did not become an official.
If a person becomes an official, will he be so angry that his boss will ascend to heaven with one Buddha and two Buddhas will be born, and then he will be killed by death? Will his subordinates be so angry that they stab his villain in the back every day, and then try to concoct evidence to bring down such a plague god?
Pay attention to etiquette, proficient in scripture and history, impeccable morality, but too ignorant of human feelings and sophisticated father, thanks to the strict environment of Yuzhang Academy, and got the support of the previous old mountain chief and many famous Confucians and local families from Yuzhang Academy, which can come to the present safely.
Because those backers behind them all believe that in order to maintain the atmosphere of Yuzhang Academy's consistent cultivation of Taiwanese admonitions, it is necessary to have such a strict mountain chief. Of course, if you have a lot of power, then you can control it 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 his career.
Because no matter the old mountain chief or those famous Confucians and families, no one is embarrassed to persuade her father to cut off the idea of official career. And she did what they couldn't do, and those upper-class celebrities in Jiangxi would be especially satisfied with her, an older woman who was knowledgeable and interesting, and reciprocated her by praising her as a filial daughter.
On the premise that they didn't have a court watch, they almost built a filial archway for her!
And over the years, she has rescued poor women in the cracks of her father's rules and etiquette, selected people who can accept the allocation, taught some people skills, taught some people knowledge, so that people who are literate but do not understand the world can understand human feelings, and let women who have been humiliated for no reason broaden their horizons and know that this 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, subtly attracting them to pay attention to the miscellaneous sciences that Taoist gentlemen disdain to pay attention to. Of course, this is difficult, because she herself does not understand these things, so she can only quietly do something when she gives books to others on behalf of her father. Of course, she will never leave any words as evidence.
Even if she looked away from someone, books such as "Dream Creek Writings" would not be a lever to accuse her.
Because she knew from her father's complaints in her early years that the current emperor likes to be different, she only hopes that there are students with extraordinary talents who can be inspired by these books, write some strange articles, and make something special to make people pay attention to Zhaoming Academy. It took a lot of time, but she finally succeeded.
As for the current Queen Mother's decree, although it is still far from what she expected, it can at least be regarded as a successful step.
Because of the father's demeanor and decency, at this time he was extremely reluctant for her to be the princess's attendant, but he would never really refuse the Queen Mother's good intentions, because the Queen Mother's eight words of rewarding her could be regarded as putting gold on her father's face.
Hong stood silently, until Hong Shanchang said enough, said tired, she was about to take advantage of the situation to persuade two words, and give her father a step down, but a voice came from outside: "Brother Hong, Xiao Shanchang of Suzhou Taihu Academy, and Xu Shanchang of Songjiang Huating Academy have arrived, and everyone has made an appointment to go out and get together, so please ask me what you mean." ”
At this time, the owner who heard this voice was Yue Shanchang, he snorted coldly, and was about to refuse, but he saw Hong Shi take a step forward and whisper a word to him.
"Dad, the sages gather in the capital, this is a rare event, why don't you go and meet the sages from all walks of life for a while?"
Hong Shanchang didn't have much interest in this kind of interaction, and his brows suddenly furrowed at this time. But Hong persuaded in a soft voice: "When we came out, didn't the old mountain chief tell my father that I hope you will make friends and learn more about the romantic characters of other academies, so that you can make friends with each other in the future and help each other?" ”
Of course, the chief of Hong Mountain, who abides by the etiquette and law, is also a person who respects his teacher very much, and he respects his teacher from the bottom of his heart for the old mountain chief who handed over Yuzhang Academy to himself. So over the years, he has always been conscientious.
With no son, only one daughter, he has always despised the false Taoism of those pear blossoms pressing begonias, and after the death of his wife, he did not take a concubine, 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 had already agreed with his eldest brother who had a group of children that he would be finished with one when he died, and he was not worried that his daughter, who was famous for her chastity, would be bullied in the future.
Of course, he also knew that the old mountain chief's original words to him when he left were to try his best to understand what outstanding people in other academies there were, and then make corresponding preparations, so as not to be unexpectedly frustrated by the talents of his own academies in this examination and the palace examination.
It must be known that in the year of next year, the goal of Yuzhang Academy is to do its best to win one of the three tripod armors!
Therefore, in the case of a friend or foe standing outside the door, Hong's euphemistic reminder was indeed correct, but Hong Shanchang just felt that his heart was not so comfortable. So, he left the Hong clan and walked straight to the door, opened the door, and saw that it was Yue Shan Changzheng standing there with a smile on his face, so he asked coldly, "Do you want to go now?" ”
When Yue Shanchang was in the courtyard before, he heard Hong Shanchang's words that he didn't know about prudence and restraint at all. He knew that he didn't even need to think of a way to tell the truth, and the people who served here would naturally report to the relevant people, so not only did he not show any strange color at this time, but he seemed more polite and cordial.
"That's right, all the people who have been called this time have arrived, and everyone is sitting down and talking, just to be able to float a lot."
"The old man doesn't drink." Hong Shanchang didn't care whether he was talking to the sky directly, and after saying these words, he snorted lightly, "Just take this opportunity to learn from all the sages!" ”
Seeing that Hong Shanchang strode out of the door as he said this, Hong smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to show a gentle smile on his face and bow to Yue Shanchang. Seeing that the head of Zhaoming Academy, who was the first to arrive in the capital, bowed his hand to her politely, and casually turned around and followed behind her father, she stepped forward and closed the door quietly, and then rubbed her eyebrows.
Father probably didn't know that when he learned that the emperor had summoned his father, the old mountain chief immediately invited her over in the name of his wife, and when he saw her in person, his very old face was wrinkled like a bitter melon.
"Yuan Niang, you grew up with me, just like my granddaughter, you follow your father to Beijing, you must watch him a little, don't let his mouth cause trouble! Hey, I don't expect him to be a prince at all, just with his nature, he is only suitable to stay in the academy. Because of his good reputation, even a student from an extraordinary family would never dare to do anything to him as a teacher. ”
"But once you become a teacher for the prince, it's different. Your father is upright, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and if he can't get used to it, he has to say that his students are probably not as stunned as him! But his temper is suitable for the academy, but not for officialdom. ”
"Of course I know that he doesn't mean to stand on the king's side, I'm afraid that he will ask for release in front of the emperor, but I'm worried that his mouth will offend people when he arrives in the capital! You must look at him a little and persuade him all the time! ”
Hong sighed deeply again, and then went to the desk, dipped in water and polished the ink, opened a prayer post, and wrote a small line of small letters on it - "Mrs. Zhao Guotai Yijian......
She carried the pen like flying, and wrote a letter of worship after a while, and finally ended with "the younger Hong's hundred worships", and after writing, seeing that the ink was gradually drying, she took it out in person, but ordered a mother to call a servant woman who served in the Yashe, rewarded a handful of money, and asked her to find someone to send a letter to the Zhaoguo Mansion on her behalf.
The Hong family did not send the little servant brought this time to deliver the letter, but handed the prayer note to a servant woman in Yasheri, so this prayer post appeared in the outer office of the celebrant for the first time. Lu Chan took the prayer post and pondered it repeatedly for a long time, and finally honestly took it and gave it to Chu Kuan. But to his surprise, Chu Kuan handed it back directly without even looking at it.
"Find a low-key person and send it to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, don't say a word of superfluous words."
Seeing that Lu Chan's face was full of surprise, Chu Kuan said lightly: "Chief Hongshan of Yuzhang Academy probably doesn't have the intention of staying in Beijing to teach the prince, so even if he is pedantic, the emperor will be more tolerant of him." As for this Hong, since she has confessed the purpose of this trip, there is nothing to say. The queen mother's decree has been issued, and her word filial piety is a certainty. ”
"But in case the Queen Mother still made her the eldest princess......" Lu Chan stopped when he wanted to speak.
"Just be it, just the virtue of the big prince's mud that can't support the wall, when he marries a good wife, you will become the king of Qi Xuan? To be honest, even the queen wouldn't have such a dream now! Chu Kuan mercilessly ridiculed the former queen and the current concubine Jing, and then smiled and said, "The Hong family is going to open a women's school, why not see what she does?" ”
"Now that the queen is abolished, the eldest prince and the second prince are also equivalent to being abolished, the third prince and the fourth prince are at a young age, and they are still malleable, if the Hong family really has that ability...... Why can't there be one more woman in the prince's division? You can't stand alone! ”
