8. Brother Goes to School (I)

Concubine Zhen listened a little harshly, but she couldn't have a seizure, the two masters talked happily, so Shuangxi made a look, and several palace maids quietly retreated, only serving under the corridor from afar. ()

"You can sit too!"

"Hmm." Concubine Zhen broke free of her hand, pulled over a brocade pier, sat down beside the emperor, took an apple from the large ice tray on the coffee table, and used a small foreign knife with a tooth handle to peel the skin intently.

The low-hanging apricot eyes and the slender ten fingers like onion pipes, the emperor suddenly felt it, and muttered slightly: "Alas, unfortunately born in the emperor's family. ”

Concubine Zhen raised her head, not daring to show the melancholy in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Where did such a complaint come from?" ”

"Grumbling? I have so many complaints! Don't mention it. ”

I didn't mention it in my mouth, but I couldn't help but yearn for the realm of the noble son. The emperor's most envy is the red Hanlin of Qinghua, the literary style, the famous minister, the family does not have to be rich, as long as the life is comfortable, when he is tired of carrying wine and choosing colors and songs, he closes the door, and does not care about everything, accompanied by a generous and virtuous wife like the queen, an empathetic concubine like Concubine Li, plus a gentle and honest concubine, this is the supreme opportunity in life.

Thinking like this, he asked, "Do you know who I envy the most?" ”

The concubine was slightly surprised, and while handing a peeled apple to the emperor, she said teasingly: "As the saying goes, 'If you are an emperor and want to be a fairy', I am afraid that you will be the emperor." ”

"'Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and the night heart!' What's it like to be a fairy? ”

"So, what does the emperor want to do?"

The emperor took a bite of the apple calmly, and said slowly: "The Zhengde of the former Ming Dynasty, he made himself a 'chief soldier', I used to think he was whimsical, and in the past two years, I have touched his state of mind!" If you can choose one of the large and small yamen inside and outside Beijing, I must choose the Hanlin Academy or the Zhan Mansion. ”

"How did the emperor think of it?" Concubine Zhen said with a smile, "Hanlin, it's leisurely. It's precious, but the taste of the 'big test' is not comfortable! ”

"The 'big exam' is only once every three years......

Just as he was saying this, Shuangxi opened a very crisp voice outside the door and said: "Long live the play, enter the yellow box in the internal performance." ”

"Dang", the emperor threw the apple that he had only bitten into twice into the silver spittoon, "You and he said to Concubine Zhen, "Don't even let a fruit be eaten raw!" He said. He struggled to his feet and stepped out of the queen's small study.

When the internal affairs office enters the yellow box at this time, it must be a military newspaper delivered by a special dispatch. First, it was Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, who played from the Yuhuatai camp, saying that Zeng Guoquan's army attacking Huzhou was surrounded, and the Qing troops from all walks of life were restrained and could not be dispatched to help. Zeng Guofan decided to move from the Yuhuatai camp to Lishui, personally supervise the division, and save the crisis. It was a military overhaul, and the emperor meditated in the corridor with his hands behind his back, and quietly no one dared to speak loudly, with the only exception of the eight-year-old prince.

The big brother who was running and jumping and shouting saw the emperor as soon as he saw it. Immediately changed his appearance, put away his laughter, knelt down to say goodbye, and called out to his father in Manchurian: "Amma! ”

"Well, good! Have some fun. Don't fall! ”

The eldest brother stood up and took two steps back. just slipped away quietly, this is all trained by "Chenda". But "Zhida" can not be regarded as a "master" who preaches and solves doubts, the emperor's brother at this moment remembered a major event that had existed in his heart for a long time and had to be discussed with his ministers a long time ago. Therefore, he sent Zeng Guofan's recital to the Military Aircraft Department, and waited for tomorrow morning to discuss it. I returned to Concubine Zhen's small study.

What he wanted to discuss with Concubine Zhen was that it was time for the eldest brother to go to the study. As early as last year, the emperor had issued a decree ordering "the minister to choose the Confucian ministers who can be appointed to study", among which the university scholar Peng Yunzhang recommended a Li Hongzao, Jane in the emperor's heart, at this time you might as well ask the meaning of the concubine.

Concubine Zhen didn't know who Li Hongzao was, and she was a little apprehensive about the emperor's consultation.

But Concubine Zhen is cautious, and has always been reluctant to make overly positive statements about such major events, so she replied: "It's not enough to be eloquent, I don't know if you can really learn?" How's the character? ”

"Hanlin's foundation, the knowledge is not there. As for his character, he has a very good reputation in Henan's 'academic administration' in the past three years, so it is conceivable. ”

"That's a good thing to say." Concubine Zhen replied happily.

"I guess it's him!" The emperor said with a little emotion, "Big Brother Dianxue, it should have been grander, I originally wanted to go back to Beijing and do it again, but now I can't delay it any longer!" ”

"Then let Qin Tianjian pick a day to open a study."

"No, I'll pick it myself."

The emperor usually reads books and dabbles in a wide range of things, and he also knows a lot about the science of the stars. At that time, he took over the Shi Xian from Shuangxi and chose to enter the school on the seventh day of April. After the day was chosen, it was discussed to send someone to take care of the study, and this messenger fell to the former minister Jing Shou. Jing Shou Shang Xuanzong's sixth daughter Shou Engulun Princess, is the emperor's brother-in-law, the palace called him "six foreheads", taciturn temperament, do not like right and wrong, by him to Yi relatives of respect, sitting in the study, not only will not interfere with the master's authority for no reason, but also can make the big brother jealous, dare not be naughty, is a very appropriate person dizzy So the next morning, the emperor drove to the imperial study, first wrote a good Zhu edict and put it, and then summoned the military plane.

The Minister of Military Aircraft was headed by Prince Yi Zaiyuan, holding a yellow box, Jiao Youying opened the curtain, and entered the palace in turn to salute, and before they could play, the emperor first handed over a Zhu edict to Su Shun, who was standing beside him.

This Zhu edict, even Su Shun didn't know in advance, took it in his hand, skimmed it first, and then stood next to the imperial book, held it with both hands, and waited for the ministers of military aircraft to kneel, before he announced in a loud voice: "The eldest brother will enter school on the seventh day of the fourth month.

Li Hongzao is the master of the big brother. Chin this! ”

After reading it, put Zhu Yu into the yellow box and hand it over to Prince Yi, so that the cabinet could be transferred from the Military Aircraft Department and "issued an edict to Mingfa"......

Xing Zhen'er inspected the things she brought to Xingyou, her expression was a little sad, Fan'er straightened up, and when she saw the queen's expression, she commanded the eunuch to move out the things that were sent to Xing You, and walked to Xingzhen's side, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The eldest brother has gone to school," Xingzhen was a little lonely, "I haven't seen this mother." ”

"What are you worried about, I'll go back to Luan in a few days, and then the eldest brother will come to Niangniang every day to fulfill his filial piety?" Fan'er comforted the queen, "When the time comes, Niangniang will be accompanied by the emperor's eldest brother, and this day will be comfortable." (To be continued.)
