Chapter 202: Tianhuang Nobles (Monthly Pass)
Early the next morning, Deng Jian hurriedly called Chen Kaizhi and urged Chen Kaizhi to go to the school to look at Mao.
The so-called Yingmao means signing in.
To enter the academy, the first thing is to be the fame of the Juren, and countless talents from Dachen gathered in this academy.
When Taizu ascended the throne, he was divided into five palaces and thirteen courtyards, and each courtyard had its owner, including seven courtyards, two courtyards, and one courtyard of painting, academy, academy, and a chess.
After entering the school here, even if you cannot pass the Jinshi, you can continue your studies here.
Especially the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are mostly juren who failed the imperial examinations. Seeing that there was no hope of the imperial examination, they put all their thoughts on it. Because of this, countless excellent works of Dachen have been circulated here.
Today, Deng Jian got up very early, so he asked Chen Kaizhi to wash up, and hurriedly ate rice porridge, and said with a smile: "This is your first time to go to the school. Senior brother will take you there. When it comes to Chen, I will go on duty. If you go too late, I'm afraid it will cause criticism. Let's hurry up."
Chen Kaizhi did not dare to delay his senior brother's skills. He hurriedly packed up and dressed up, so he followed Deng Jian out.
Although it is different from the north and south, Luoyang and Jinling have their own characteristics, but at this morning, the same prosperity is the same. Countless peddlers and pawns got up early in the morning mist and started to be busy so that they could make a living for a day.
Deng Jian wanted to hire a sedan chair, but Chen Kaizhi persuaded him. He just looked around yesterday, but today he could walk along the road with his senior brother and recognize the road.
In fact, he also knew that Deng Jian was not well-off. Logically speaking, Da Chen treated officials with preferential treatment and a large salary. Then... uh, my senior brother wouldn't send them all to the black Internet cafe, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel ashamed.
……………………
In this bustling city, the most spectacular and magnificent palace is the magnificent palace.
When the morning bell rang in the early morning, the phoenix harem used by the empress dowager was ready.
The empress dowager was dressed in a grand dress and could not see any tiredness on her delicate face. Feng Yi elegantly led the palace maids and the eunuchs to the front hall.
Today is a special day. Before the hour of Mao came, the Empress Dowager put it here, which was a brutal thing.
Fengqian passed through countless pavilions and pavilions, and stopped at the front hall. Fengqian entered the hall. The empress dowager sat down and then gave a wink at Zhang Jing beside him.
Zhang Jingshou said with a loud voice: "His Highness Xuanjing comes in to see you."
After a while, I saw a man slowly entering the hall in a commoner.
This person had just appeared in front of the hall, and the empress dowager was moved. She pursed her red lips and then stood up.
This man was no other person, the old man who was on the same boat as Chen Kaizhi. He walked into the hall with great energy, but he did not wear a python robe or a beam crown. He just slept with a Confucian robe and a scarf. After entering the hall, he was about to bow.
The Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Brother, please give up on the courtesy."
This is the old man named the emperor's brother by the empress dowager. Chen Yixing, the current King Jing, is the eldest son of the emperor, but he is a concubine. However, because of his knowledge and knowledge, he is considered an important candidate for the throne.
But when everyone thought that King Jing and the late emperor were about to compete for the throne, King Jing at that time was willing to ask for exile with the reasons of being the eldest son, and did not participate in the battle for the throne with the law of the state.
After that, when the late emperor ascended the throne, he carefully considered the benefits of this emperor's brother, issued several edicts to invite King Jing to the court.
However, King Jing refused and refused to enter the capital repeatedly. His last visit was when the late emperor was about to make a grand ceremony. The late emperor held his hand and asked him to take charge of the overall situation.
This meaning is quite a bit like entrusting the orphan. The late emperor had no sons. Among the officials, many people believed that the son of King Zhao should succeed the throne, but the late emperor ordered King Jing to take charge of the overall situation, so he told others that as long as King Jing was willing, he could replace him.
However, King Jing rejected this kind of good intention, and he still believed that the country should have laws.
In this world, there is no reason why brothers end up with each other. After the late emperor made great progress, King Jing left the capital and toured around, but his name of benevolence and love spread throughout the world.
Now the Queen Mother and King Zhao both intend to invite King Jing to the court, and they all want to rely on his reputation.
Empress Dowager Yu said that this emperor brother was a fair person. He had a close relationship with the late emperor and could use his hand to eliminate the influence of King Zhao in the royal family.
As for King Zhao, this emperor is a man who values etiquette and law. The emperor has ascended the throne now. As a subject, he will never rebel against the emperor.
Yesterday, King Jing met with Jishan to enter the capital, and King Zhao went to welcome him early in the morning. Today, the Empress Dowager summoned King Jing to the palace, which also meant to comfort him.
The Queen Mother said, "Come on, give me a seat to the emperor."
The eunuch had already prepared Jindun and moved behind Chen Yixing.
Chen Yixing still saluted the Queen Mother solemnly, and then sat down sideways and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager ordered someone to pour tea. She tried hard to create an atmosphere where family members chatted with each other. So after drinking a sip of tea, she smiled and said, "Do you have any experiences along the way? The Ai family has always lived in the palace and don't know much about things outside."
Zhang Jing, who was standing aside, looked at His Highness Jing nervously. He knew that this was the Queen Mother's intention, and he wanted to test King Jing's attitude towards the current situation.
Chen Yixing sighed, and the first thing he thought of was Chen Kaizhi. His calm face unconsciously smiled: "I was on the boat all the way, but I saw and heard it. I met an interesting person."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was surprised.
King Jing is a person who is like a idling cloud and wild crane. He tried his best not to touch the affairs of the court. In recent years, he has lived in seclusion in the mountains of Kuaiji. For him, the word "interesting" must be extremely rare. If he finds it interesting, then it must be... very interesting.
Or...
The queen mother gently put down the teacup and thought to herself, could she have any profound meaning?
The Queen Mother also became interested and smiled, "I don't know what kind of person he is, so interesting?"
Chen Yixing couldn't help but smile, and then his smile disappeared without a trace. He sighed: "It's just an ordinary boy. He happened to have some connection with me. I'm afraid that the Empress will laugh when she said it."
The empress dowager knew that Chen Yixing refused to say it. Perhaps after he said it, she was afraid that she would "disturb" this person, so she tactfully stopped asking questions.
"The person who can attract the attention of the emperor must be a very outstanding person. The Ai family wants to see a little bit." Then, clicked and stopped: "Does the emperor be used to living in Beijing?"
Chen Yixing said in a nutshell: "I am used to living anywhere. This capital is not a dragon's nest, so why can't I be used to living in it? It's a matter of worrying."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The Ai family knows that although the capital is prosperous, it is not your ambition. You would rather hide in the mountains than fall into this world. But the country is so difficult now that the Ai family has to invite the emperor's brother to preside over the overall situation in the capital."
Chen Yixing's eyes drooped slightly, and he immediately sighed.
"I haven't asked about secular things for many years, but today I am generally peaceful. Where can I use my skills? Even if there is, I have not asked about worldly affairs for too many years, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, studying and entertaining themselves, what is the use? The Empress attaches great importance to the ministers, so I can't afford to take responsibility."
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, as if she had expected that he would say such things. She gently stroked her hair bun, as if she was chatting about family matters, and asked lightly: "I wonder what books the emperor has read recently?"
Chen Yixing smiled and said, "Read history."
The Queen Mother was very interested: "Is it the historical material of Da Chen?"
“That’s right.”
The Queen Mother said, "Do you have any experience?"
Chen Yixing couldn't help but show a little depressed: "I have seen the great achievements of the late emperors of all dynasties, and have also seen many kings, princes, generals and ministers, and occasionally read many romantic and famous scholars. But I want to see ordinary people, but after passing the records of the thirty emperors, I have never seen any of them."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ordinary ordinary people are naturally unknown."
Chen Yixing shook his head and said, "I thought so at first, but after thinking carefully, I couldn't help but feel fear. The foundation of this world is the people, and the people are happy and the country can be stable. But I have never seen a single person. Don't you find it strange to the Empress?"
"I am thinking again, if I get old in the future, I can leave a name in the record, but why do I leave it? It is probably because I am the brother of the late emperor and a nobleman in heaven."
Speaking of this, a bit of sadness appeared in his gentle face: "I left my name because of this, and when I arrived at the spring, I felt extremely ashamed."
The empress dowager looked at Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing nodded and went to add tea to Chen Yixing.
The Empress Dowager comforted him, "That's true in this world. This is the kindness of the ancestors. Besides, the emperor's brother is a noble man and has always been known as a wise king. How can he think like this? If the emperor loves to study, the Ai family might as well give an order and ask the emperor to go to the Hanlin Academy to find an errand? Although the emperor is wronged there, the emperor is finally a talented person and should share the worries of the Ai family."
Chen Yixing shook his head disheartenedly: "I will die and dare not obey the order."
The queen mother frowned slightly and looked at Chen Yixing in surprise: "Why is this?"
Chen Yixing sighed deeply and said slightly tiredly: "I am really old. Even if I have the heart to do my best, I have insufficient strength."
The empress dowager's brows spread slightly, and said as if her relatives were caring for her elders: "Then the Ai family will build a mansion for the emperor's brother in the capital, so that you can spend your old age here. You are old and should not go back to the mountains and forests, after all, there are many inconveniences there."
Chen Yixing still shook his head: "This is not my wish."
"Then..." The Queen Mother looked at him in confusion: "The emperor thinks he has already made plans?"
Chen Yixing smiled and said, "I just want to read and read with peace of mind. I don't need pavilions, towers, and pavilions. I can have a place to stay and be able to calm down and read and read, so I am content."
