Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhu Youxiao sent Wang An away, and asked someone to call Liu Shimin, the eunuch who had just mentioned Bingbi, and asked him to read "Thousand Characters" to himself.When Wang An came back, he found that Liu Shimin was writing a copybook for Xinjun in different styles.

Liu Shimin was born in a family of hereditary commanders (Zheng Sipin), and his father was the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong.When he was young, he castrated himself because of a strange dream, and was later selected into the imperial palace.Aged in his 30s, he is good at calligraphy and knowledgeable.After he entered the palace, he was under the name of Chen Ju, the eunuch of Li, and he was of the same family as Wang An.

Wei Chao, another eunuch who was appointed by Zhu Youxiao, has always been Wang An's subordinate.But Wang An was very sober. Wang Tigan, who worked with him as the eunuch of the late emperor, was beaten back yesterday and continued to work as Shangshan.

In this ninety-five city, no matter how high one climbs, one is still a slave who depends on the emperor for survival.

So what he held in his hand was so heavy that it seemed to break his arm.He secretly hated that his eyelids were too rich, and he was blinded by the mere He Xi, and now not only his future was in jeopardy, but his life was also in jeopardy.

"My lord, this old slave has brought everything into the palace. This is the house deed. This is the register of all the artifacts. This old slave didn't dare to keep it private."

Liu Shimin, who was writing a copybook, moved the tips of his ears slightly.

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the booklet very carefully.Looking at Zhu Youxiao's appearance, Wang An couldn't help muttering in his heart, and seeing that you don't know how to read, you know what it is.

But at this time, he didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to go forward to ask for the pamphlet to be read for the new king, so he could only humbly wait beside the new king.

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the not-so-thin booklet from beginning to end, and found that the gift giver was really willing.For a palm-printed eunuch who just came up, if he just wants to have a good relationship and a good impression, he will give him hundreds of thousands of silver.

There are a lot of good things here.There is even a Western clock.

"Is this a clock?"

Wang An leaned over to look at the records in the ledger.

"Yes, it is a gilt chime clock."

"Send this to Wulang. The rest of the Shan Liku was put away. After the late emperor was buried, it was handed over from Zhou Shangshu and sold together to pay for the army. Wang An, I tell you this is the only time. These Why do people give you gifts, I don’t even tell you that you understand.”

"Yes, the old slave understands that the old slave did something wrong."

"You take good care of the inner prison in the palace and those in the East Factory. You don't have to think about what will be there in the future. You have done a good job, and I will allow you to accompany the sleeping mausoleum in the future."

After Wang An heard Xinjun's last promise, he was so excited that tears immediately came down.What are you afraid of when you become a eunuch? You are afraid that there will be no incense to serve you behind you, and you will become a lonely poor ghost!If there is a word from the emperor that he can be buried in the mausoleum with him, he is so heartbroken that he has to follow the new king.

Liu Shimin finished writing all the copybooks in his hand, and handed over the brushes and others to the little servant to take them away for cleaning.Seeing Xinjun flipping through "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters" back and forth, he stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, do you want me to review the "Thousand Characters" again?"

"No, you memorize the Three Character Classic."

Liu Shimin's voice was probably not as high-pitched as those eunuchs who entered the palace since childhood.With eyes closed, I seem to be listening to an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with a slightly high-pitched voice reading.

The "Three Character Classic" is not long, with a little over a thousand characters, and Liu Shimin quickly finished it.

"My lord, is this servant talking about the allusions in the "Three Character Classic"?"

"No need. I've learned enough today, just bring me the copybook and have a look."

Liu Shimin presented the copybook he had just written, then knelt down and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the servants are on duty in the Supervisory Hall today, and they have also received some congratulatory gifts. Most of them are silver notes."

"Huh? You also received it? Is it because I became the emperor first that I ordered you to be the eunuch of Bingbi?"

Liu Shimin kowtowed, "What the emperor said is true. I won't dare accept slaves anymore."

"Accept, why don't you accept it? It would be great to use it as military funds. You can set up an account book yourself, how much silver taels you receive from whom on which day, etc., and pay it every month. I don't have a big companion. If you and Wang An It is also a good story to wait until I can do well, so that I can rest assured that I will go to bed with you in the future."

Liu Shimin kowtowed, "My lord, even if my servants are smashed to pieces, they will still do all the things the lord has ordered."

Zhu Youxiao tentatively gathered the palm print eunuchs and Bingbi eunuchs around him, and it was time to go to the late emperor's mourning hall.

After the death of Shenzong, the royal palaces from all over the country immediately sent people to Beijing to attend the funeral after receiving the imperial decree.The clans that came one after another filled up the palace they had kept in Jingkuang for a long time.Today, Zhu Youxiao asked the cabinet Liu Yixiu to draw up an order to let all the descendants of the Zhu family who had not come to the capital and were knighted come to Beijing to attend the funeral of the late emperor.

Therefore, in the mourning hall of Qianqing Palace, the children of the clan took turns to guard the mourning.But the only princes are Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian brothers.

There are also three princesses in the inner court, all eleven or twelve years old and about the same age as Zhu Youjian.Zhu Youjian followed Zhu Youxiao yesterday to guard the late emperor's coffin. Today Zhu Youxiao went to study in the inner study, and he was called to kneel in front of the coffin for a long time.

Zhu Youjian was already staggering on his knees before the coffin.

Zhu Youxiao was secretly annoyed, is this going to kill Zhu Youjian?

After Zhu Youxiao kowtowed and offered incense, he pulled Zhu Youjian up, and said distressedly: "Wulang, you are still young, and you didn't sleep much last night. If you stay like this for three days and two nights, you will break your body. Your filial piety is something to be comforted about, but my father is definitely not willing to let you break your body. You can just come back and kowtow when the time is right when you go back."

Then he ordered the eunuch Wang Guochen to send Zhu Youjian back to rest.

Zhu Youjian was too anxious to leave.

Zhu Youxiao pushed him, "Father is gone. All the things in this world are decided by the emperor. No one dares to resist the order and go to Li Xuan's side to call you. Go. There are so many clans in front of the father. The children and the officials of the official department are guarding it."

This Li Xuan waiter is Dong Li, and he is not considered favored by the first emperor.When Zhu Youxiao's biological mother Liu was five years old, he was killed by the late emperor who was the crown prince for a crime, and then he was handed over to Xi Li, who was stabbed to death by Zhu Youxiao yesterday, to be raised. Not long after, Xi Li gave birth to a daughter , and handed him over to Dong Li.Fortunately, Dong Li is a gentle and virtuous person. In recent years, he has been by Dong Li's side and Dong Li has taken good care of him.But his biological mother was killed and Xi Li was domineering, he also grew up cautiously.

"Wang An, go ask who arranged for Goro to keep vigil day and night?"

"Yes. Your Majesty"

Wang An quickly agreed, and arranged for the little eunuch next to him to investigate.I regretted that I was not on duty last night, and I shouldn't have gone back to the outer house, otherwise there would be so many slaps in the face.

Zhu Youjian was sent away, and Zhu Youxiao ordered someone to find the Minister of Rites and go to the inner study.Wang An went to inquire about this matter, and he was not careful with the Ministry of Rites and had disagreements with the Minister of Rites.

When Sun Ruyou learned that the supervisor of ceremonies came to inquire about who arranged Zhu Youjian's day and night vigil, he called the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and scolded him.

"How can you arrange it like this? Are there not enough disciples in the clan to guard the spirit?"

Seeing that Shangshu was angry, the Siwu stammered in fright and said, "Your official thought that there was always a prince guarding the coffin of Emperor Shenzong at that time, and it would be good for the first emperor to have a prince guarding the coffin. I also heard that the emperor The fifth prince was sent to invite after summoning the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to discuss matters with the British public."

Sun Ruyou was furious at Si Wu's self-assertion.

"Shenzong had five adult sons in rotation. Only a few princes survived from the previous emperor, and the fifth prince was only ten years old. Yesterday was the first night that the fifth prince was allowed to guard the spirit with the emperor. Today you won't let He is a ten-year-old child who goes to rest. When he gets sick tomorrow, wouldn’t it be more troublesome? At that time, there will be no prince guarding the late emperor’s tomb? Could it be that the new emperor can put aside the government affairs and keep guarding in front of the tomb? is it on?"

The Siwu defended himself in a low voice, "My lord, there is only one son in the folk, don't they all kneel down to the spirit? How come the royal family doesn't obey the etiquette?"

Sun Ruyou knew that he didn't understand how to break up with a foolish person, so he just scolded him: "Let the clan's children take turns. When the prince comes over, the hall will ask the emperor to arrange it, and you don't have to worry about it."

Sun Ruyou scolded the secretary, and then hurried to the inner study to explain the situation.

Knowing the reason of what happened, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "The secretary is so ignorant, according to the arrangement he said, after my brothers send the funeral to the late emperor, they should stay in Qingling."

Sun Ruyou repeatedly pleaded guilty.

Zhu Youxiao stopped him and said: "Sun Qing doesn't have to be like this. I think that the Secretary of State Affairs is dull-headed, so he only became a Secretary and did not have a sergeant in the imperial examination. Oh, you said that you have arranged everything, but it was passed under your nose. People have made mistakes according to 'common sense', and they don't know what the court has arranged, except how much the capital has changed."

Such divergent associations from the emperor made Sun Ruyou feel helpless in his guilt.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because they are afraid that the matter will be delayed by such a rigid-minded person that the imperial court has sent a supervisory censor to patrol the various routes."

"Having a supervisory censor is also a helpless move to remedy later. Sun Qing, how can we select talents who are talented, flexible, and suitable for our imperial examination candidates?"

Sun Ruyou clicked his mouth, now that spring is held every three years, is there anything wrong with the method of selecting Jinshi?Is it because I am too old, so I can't keep up with the thinking of the emperor, and I don't understand the meaning of the emperor's words?

"Sun Qing is highly respected and has rich experience in dealing with government affairs. If you have time, you may wish to help me think about how to select and choose suitable talents. For those who are inflexible, Enke will be selected again next year. The court will be in jeopardy in 30 or [-] years. .”

Sun Ruyou returned to the Ministry of Rites with a heavy heart and erratic footsteps under the earnest entrustment of the emperor's words.I spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to select talented people who are not rigid in their minds.Thinking of the throbbing veins on his forehead, he couldn't figure out why.When it was time to leave the office, he suddenly realized that the young emperor who could say such a sentence to himself really needed enlightenment?
