Chapter 284 Zong Baikui (6) The eldest princess enters the palace
The discussion between master and disciple Shen Yiguan took a long time. At first, they stood and chatted in the courtyard. Later, it was getting late and the temperature dropped quickly, so they went back to the house. They discussed back and forth for more than an hour. Qian Menggao even stayed at the Shen University Scholar's Mansion for dinner.
It's no wonder, after all, Shen Yiguan has decided to leave Beijing as soon as possible and go south. Although doing so will allow him to avoid the sharp edge of Beijing's highly pragmatic first minister, he will also lose the respect of officials in his small circle. To take care of it, some response plans must be prepared in advance.
Although Qian Menggao's rank is very low, he is only a seventh-grade official. Firstly, because of his status as section chief, he has a low position and power in the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, because he is indeed the most astute assistant under Shen Yiguan, so many things can be done. Leave it to him to deal with.
Of course, that's not to say that Shen Yiguan himself intends to keep this kind of thing completely hidden behind the scenes. In fact, a big boss like him at the level of a cabinet minister often only needs to endorse the person who does the specific work.
This is just like Gao Wuchen now rarely has direct contact with the mid-level officials in Beijing. He usually gives orders through their direct superiors. Even if there are other insider matters, he only sends servants to pass the news and send a letter. A private letter, that's all.
A country must always have clear hierarchies, and a political power structure cannot jump over levels indiscriminately, otherwise many things will go wrong. Even if the jumping-off command has good intentions, it will often end up doing bad things with good intentions.
It was getting late, and Gao Jingshi also returned to his Nanning Marquis Mansion from the eldest princess's residence. Regarding the fact that he could not stay at the eldest princess's residence overnight, the eldest princess had been brooding about it for many years but was helpless. Who let her identity So embarrassing?
Sometimes she really wished that she was just an ordinary woman, because then she might have a chance to enter the Gao family openly... Even if she was a concubine, it would be much better than being secretive like now.
However, she doesn't have much time to sigh now, because Gao Pingshi has asked her to do something important. She won't even be able to stay in this eldest princess' mansion for a long time in the near future. Instead, she needs an excuse to miss her mother and fulfill her filial piety after her death. From living back to the palace.
In the past, if the eldest princess wanted to return to the palace for a temporary stay, she would have to ask the emperor's brother for permission to bring her son with her, but this time she has no such worries. It's not that she doesn't have to ask the emperor for permission this time, but because Now that Gao Luo has attained enlightenment, even if his mother wants to return to the palace to live temporarily, he has to stay in the princess mansion to study.
Regarding Gao Luo's academic problems, Her Royal Highness the Princess does not need to worry too much, because Gao Pragmatic has already arranged a teacher for Gao Luo. This teacher was also a celebrity in the late Ming Dynasty in the original history, and he served as a cabinet minister twice. Han Xu, the first assistant. However, Han Xu also had another identity, that is, the son of Gao Gongmen's student Han Ji.
There is a very interesting situation here: Gao Gong is one of the masters of the Shixue sect. Since Han Ji is Gao Gong's favorite disciple, it stands to reason that Han Xu should also be a member of the Shixue sect. However, Han Xu was not known in later generations. He is famous in history because he was the only serious cabinet minister of the Donglin Party besides Ye Xianggao in the late Ming Dynasty.
Yes, Han Xu in original history often belonged to the Donglin Party in later discussions.
However, this matter is completely inexplicable. How did Han Xu become a member of the Donglin Party? Not only Han Xu, but also Ye Xianggao inexplicably became the so-called "elder" of the Donglin Party.
The so-called "leader".
Ye Xianggao himself had nothing to do with the Donglin Party. It was only because Donglin recommended Li Sancai to join the cabinet at that time that Gu Xiancheng wrote a letter to him. As the chief minister of the cabinet during the "all-powerful dynasty" period, Ye Xianggao
He was more tolerant and protective of the Donglin people, so he was later beaten by Wei Zhongxian to become the so-called leader of Donglin.
The essence of this matter is actually very simple. Wei Zhongxian wants to establish the group of people who oppose him as the "party" - the word party was a derogatory term in ancient times, and it became a neutral term only after the emergence of modern political parties - and Ye Xianggao's
His attitude was obviously inconsistent with Wei Zhongxian's. Because Ye Xiang was highly virtuous and highly respected, he was regarded as the leader and elder of the Donglin Party.
Han Xu's situation is similar to that of Ye Xianggao. Even his original ranking in Wei Zhongxian's "Donglin Point General Record" was not very high. It was just because he was later in the Chongzhen Dynasty when he was cleaning up Wei Zhongxian's "eunuch party".
As a leader, he was inexplicably regarded as the leader of Donglin in later generations. If Han Xuquan knew about it, he might even be shocked.
If we must say that Han Xu has a "party", then he is simply a "civilian party". In other words, the reason why he seems to be on Donglin's side is just because he also opposes Wei Zhongxian. If we want to trace it from the cultural roots
, then he really should be counted as a practical scholar because of his family background.
Of course, in the original history, Practical Learning did not form any political group. When Gao Gong was in power, there was barely a small group. After Gao Gong left power, this group of people was dispersed by Zhang Juzheng. This is why Han Xu's father Han Ji was
Forced to resign and return home.
Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gongyuan were like-minded friends. From the perspective of political philosophy and knowledge, he actually believed in practical learning and had always looked down on those who only talked about the Xinxue. However, he did not form any political group.
Therefore, after Zhu Yijun's death and liquidation due to his rebellious mentality, the so-called Practical School also disappeared.
In the previous life, Han Ji devoted himself to teaching his sons after returning home. Both of his sons were very successful, especially the second son Han Xu. He passed the examination and ranked eleventh in the second class of Renchen Branch in Wanli 20th year. Later he became the first.
Assistant - and served as the first assistant twice.
In this life, because Han Ji was an important figure in the Real School and had a very open career, Han Xu did not stay in his hometown in Puzhou, but continued to study with his father. He may indeed have a talent for reading, but he still participated in the Wanli II
In the ten-year examination, my results were even slightly better than in my previous life, and I ranked seventh in the top two.
At that time, Han Ji was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Since he was not an assistant minister, he did not affect Han Xu's spring. Last year, Han Ji was already seventy, so before resigning, he wrote a letter to Gao Jingshi, the "eldest brother", and entrusted Han Xu to
Give high pragmatism.
Of course Gao Pragmatic would not refuse, nor could he refuse, because this is one of the responsibilities he must bear as the leader of the faction.
Gao pragmatically wanted to call Han Ji "senior brother", so although Han Xu was only four years younger than him, he had to call him "uncle". Of course, Gao pragmatically knew Wanli who was awarded the Jinshi title in 20 years.
Han Xu is on the gold list, but Han Ji himself was still in office before, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to Gao pragmatism.
At this time, Han Xu had already served in the Hanlin Academy for six or seven years, and his official position had been promoted from Hanlin Editor to Hanlin Attendant. He was considered an old Hanlin. Therefore, when the eldest princess Yongning wanted to enlighten her son, she hoped that Gao would be pragmatic.
When his biological father helped him find a teacher, Gao Pragmatic directly named Han Xu to work part-time.
In principle, this incident is slightly illegal, but it is not serious in nature. Especially considering that even if the incident happened, as long as the emperor said that he knew about it, it would not be a problem at all, so no one would catch it.
Making irresponsible remarks about such a trivial matter.
Princess Yongning was very happy to let Han Xu serve as Gao Luo's teacher. She felt that she had found a treasure. It's not that Her Royal Highness knew Han Xu's knowledge or anything, she didn't know anything about it. The reason why she was happy was because
It's because the Imperial Examiner who served as her son's teacher was completely considered a "high match" according to the Ming Dynasty's system.
As mentioned in the previous article, after the middle period of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary princes who went out to study could only arrange for two Jinshi scholars to teach them. Then, after waiting, since the princess's son was not considered a royal family at all, he would not even be able to arrange Jinshi teachers.
According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the identity of the princess's son follows his father rather than his mother. From this point of view, it is really water thrown away by the married daughter. As for the education of the princess's son, it all depends on the ability and arrangement of his father.
.Considering that the Jinshi masters in this era are all the proud sons of heaven, and the state is responsible for the distribution, it is probably unlikely that they will go to the Princess's Mansion to be a teacher. Normally, the only teacher that the Princess's Mansion can recruit is a great master.
However, the Princess Yongning's Mansion is obviously not an ordinary princess' mansion, and the son of Her Royal Highness the Princess is also anything but ordinary. He is nominally one of the twins born to the pragmatic wife Huang Zhiting, and is the adopted son of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
, but Her Royal Highness the Princess is still unwilling to let him change his surname, which has led to many doubts from the outside world.
Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's tragic marriage has long been known to outsiders. Everyone inside and outside Beijing knows that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was the innocent victim of that marriage. Therefore, it is reasonable for Her Royal Highness not to adopt a son to inherit the Liang family, so although the turmoil is a little
There were some, but they subsided soon after.
Princess Yongning's wish to return to the palace to serve her mother was quickly sent to the palace. When the Empress Dowager Cisheng heard the news, she didn't think much about it. Instead, she simply became happy and immediately sent someone to inform the emperor that she had agreed.
Already.
Zhu Yijun is now the undoubted king of the Ming Dynasty and the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. It is a period when face is the most important in all aspects, so it is naturally impossible to disobey his mother's wishes in this matter, lest he be criticized as unfilial. Oh, of course.
, not allowing your biological sister to visit and take care of your mother is not only unfilial, it is even unfriendly - the kind of friend who is respectful to your brothers.
Therefore, the emperor immediately sent Xiaohuangmen, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, to convey the oral instructions to the eldest princess's palace, allowing Her Royal Highness to enter the palace to serve the two palaces - he said that he must say the two palaces, after all, the Queen Mother Rensheng was still there, and she was the legitimate mother.
But don't forget it.
[Note: According to the original history, Empress Dowager Rensheng had passed away for three years at this time. In this book, due to the secret care of Gao Pragmatism, Empress Dowager Rensheng was in a much better state of mind than in the original history, so her life was set to be extended by some years.

As soon as the eldest princess arrived at Cining Palace to see her mother, Empress Dowager Li first looked at her with a smile, and then asked in surprise: "Where is my grandson?" As she said this, she kept looking behind Zhu Yaolao, and the old empress did not think so.
The child was naughty and did not enter the house immediately.
Zhu Yao was relatively relaxed with his mother, and was not very polite. He just smiled and said: "My mother doesn't know something. The little skin monkey is now under discipline. He stays at the house to study, but he won't be able to come."
Empress Dowager Li was greatly disappointed when she heard this. The smile on her face dropped by three points, and she said regretfully: "Look at you, even if he wants to study, come over today and let the Ai family have a look. Why not send him back tomorrow morning? I think.
The gentleman in your house doesn't know how to be a little accommodating."
When it came to this matter, Zhu Yao couldn't help but want to show off. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is really difficult to handle. Queen Mother, this gentleman in my daughter's house, I'm afraid even if he wants to be accommodating, he may not be able to be accommodating."
Empress Dowager Li was surprised and said: "How do you say this? Is it possible that someone is still restraining him?" After a pause, she suddenly became serious and glared at Zhu Yao and said: "Could it be that you are using your status to oppress others? This kind of thing is terrible.
Don’t mess around.”
"Mother, why did you wrongly accuse your daughter? Don't say that your daughter won't be like this. Even if your daughter is really so ignorant, this gentleman is not something that your daughter can hold down with his status." Zhu Yaoyu pretended to be aggrieved.
"Is there such a thing?" Queen Mother Li was really puzzled: "Where did you find such a grand teacher? What is his identity, that he doesn't care about you, the eldest princess?"
"This gentleman, his surname is Han, his given name is Xu, his courtesy name is Yuchen, and his nickname is Xiangyun. He is from Puzhou, Shanxi Province. He was born in the second and seventh place on the Renchen Kejin List in the 20th year of Wanli. He was an attendant of the Hanlin Academy at that time.
"Zhu Yaoyu blinked deliberately and said: "Oh, this is the emperor's brother's minister, and my daughter really can't control him."
Empress Dowager Li was surprised: "Since you are a member of the Imperial Academy, how could you... Oh, the Ai family understands."
She snorted softly, rolled her daughter's face with a bit of fondness, and said, "You can't control Mr. Han, but Gao Rixin can, right? Not only can he control him, he can even control him however he wants.
How to use it, hum..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Yaoyu smiled proudly and said: "Mother, your grandson has got a good husband, aren't you happy?"
"It's natural for the Ai family to be happy, but you should also be careful when doing this, so as not to stir up rumors among the outside world. Even if it's not a big deal, it's still very annoying."
"The outside world knows that Gao Ge is Luo'er's biological father. Since he is his biological father, is it any wonder that Gao Ge has found a good mentor for him?" Zhu Yaonao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Look, my daughter refused at the beginning.
If Luoer changes his surname, wouldn't this be useful?"
Empress Dowager Li rolled her eyes at her again and scolded her with a smile: "You girl, I'm afraid you're not missing me, an old woman, today, but you're here to show off to the old woman that she knows about it, right?"
"Okay, okay, the Aijia now knows how powerful Mr. Gao is..." Queen Mother Li said, stretched out her hand and gestured, and said: "Well, when the Aijia first met him, he was just a little tall guy.
Where’s the leather monkey?”
I don’t know if these words made Zhu Yaoyu think of something. The eldest princess blushed slightly and said: "Daughter, I heard that Gao Ge always urinates when he is young. How could he be some little monkey..."
In fact, Empress Dowager Li just said it casually, and her daughter's words could not help but bring back memories. She thought about it and said: "Oh, if you want to say that, it makes some sense. At that time, Gao Wu... Gao Rixin's age
Although he is young, he is only the same age as your imperial brother, but he is indeed a young and mature person, and he looks like a royal assistant."
Wang Zuozhi's image must not be taken seriously. In the early years, Empress Dowager Li did not have such a good impression of Gao Pragmatic. As for now, I am afraid that on the one hand, it is because Gao Pragmatic has indeed done a lot for the court in these years, and on the other hand, it is also because
Gao Jingshi has gained a firm foothold at all levels. It would be unjustifiable for her not to admit that Gao Jingshi is the "Wang Zuo", so she might as well just say that she has discovered that he has "the image of Wang Zuo" a long time ago.
Zhu Yaoniao didn't care whether the queen mother's words were sincere or not. Anyway, she was very happy when the queen mother praised Gao Pragmatic. She was about to speak happily, but unexpectedly, a little eunuch suddenly shouted at the door: "The queen is here -"
