Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 259 I answer the tribute ([-])
Daming, Forbidden City, Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Li Gui came to her son's residence from Chengqian Palace today because she wanted to see the prince's activities after class.

Originally, because the prince had performed well after leaving the pavilion, she seldom came here on weekdays. Instead, she only tested his studies every morning when the prince went to Chengqian Palace to pay his respects. But in the early hours of this morning, Concubine Wei Ying gave birth to a daughter for the emperor. Concubine Li Gui was very happy when she heard the news. Today, on a whim, she wanted to visit the eldest son.

But when she entered Zhongcui Palace, she saw a group of eunuchs kneeling down in front of the palace.And the prince in bright red uniforms and the prince in cyan clothes who accompanied Gao Yushi seemed to be arguing about something.Concubine Li Guifei was far away, and only heard the crown prince saying, "It's not that I won't let it go, I will let it go later", and Gao Wushi said, "This bird is too young to be played with." such as.

Concubine Li Gui motioned to Feng Bao who was beside her, and Feng Bao immediately took a few steps forward, surpassing the maids who opened the way ahead, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The concubine is here——"

Zhu Yijun and Gao Wushi over there were a little surprised, put aside their disputes and came over to meet them.

Concubine Li Gui walked over unhurriedly, received a salute from both of them, and saw that the crown prince was carefully holding a small sparrow, she couldn't help frowning: "What is in the crown prince's hand?"

Zhu Yijun was obviously a little nervous, and explained: "Report to mother, this is a little sparrow." Then he quickly added: "I heard from my mother that this bird likes to steal from dealers when it grows up, so my son asked Gao Shidu to think about it." Catch sparrows..."

Concubine Li Gui was amused, you love to play as much as you like, why do you still have to find such a reason?

But in front of so many people, she didn't want to pierce her son's careful thinking, but asked lightly: "Since you have a sparrow in your hand, it must be Gao Shidu who thought of a way to catch the bird?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun was obviously a little excited, and even forgot the dispute just now, and said with a smile: "That's right, Gao Shidu said to find a big and light 'cover' like a straw sieve first. A small wooden stick with an upside-down grass sieve on top, a handful of millet inside, a rope tied to the stick, the length can be estimated by yourself. The purpose of this rope is to hide people, but it can be pulled to the organ. Then, wait for the sparrow When flying inside to eat rice, it’s best when there are several flying in, let’s pull the rope... the sparrows are caught by the mechanism just for one bite to eat.”

He said, glanced at Gao Wushi, and added: "Gao Shidu also said that the so-called 'birds eat and die' is such a manifestation."

Concubine Li Gui was a little unhappy when he said that he was making trouble with excitement, but after hearing the last sentence, she turned from anger to joy. She glanced at Gao Yushi appreciatively and said to herself: This kid is not bad, remember him The first time I talked about the prince's education, he said that the prince should first arouse the prince's interest in reading and learning, and said that it is fun to teach, and now it seems that there is some truth.

So she put away her displeasure, and asked with a smile: "Then what were you and Gao Shidu arguing about just now?"

"This..." Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "After we caught the sparrow, I thought about my mother saying that the sparrow was harmful to the crops, and I couldn't let it go anyway, so I planned to play with it. But Gao Shi couldn't read it. I agree, saying that a king should be kind and loving to all things... and also saying that although sparrows are harmful, there are eagles and vultures to prey on them. This is the cycle of heaven and should not be manipulated by humans."

"Hmm..." Concubine Li Gui was born in poverty, and in her heart she also felt that sparrows were harmful birds, and it was right to catch and kill them, but after all, her son was the heir apparent, and what Gao Wushi said was very grandiose, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Zhu Yijun continued: "...So the son said, let's not kill it, let's play it for a while, and then play it later. I never thought that Gao Shi read it or disagreed."

"Oh? Why?" Concubine Li Gui was also a little surprised when she heard it. Since she has already listened to your words, what are you still pestering about?Isn't this already humbly accepting advice?
Zhu Yijun was a little discouraged and said: "He said that the sparrow looks young and has not yet grown up. It is just a young bird. He also said that sparrows also have parents. If their parents find out that it is missing, wouldn't they be very anxious and sad? "

Concubine Li Gui was terrified, and glanced at Gao Yushi, only to see Gao Yushi's face was gloomy, without saying a word, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and said, "Jun'er, I heard that you have finished learning three hundred thousand, and now you are learning from Gao Shi." Read the edited "Longwen Whip Shadow"?"

Zhu Yijun didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped to this topic, but he was still quite confident in his studies, so he nodded and said, "Yes, mother."

Concubine Li Gui looked at him and asked, "Zhuo Jing Feng Hu, Xi Ba Shi Nian—have you ever learned this sentence?"

Zhu Yijun was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly understood something, bowed his head and said, "I've learned it." When he said this, he was already a little downcast.

Sure enough, Concubine Li Gui's face turned serious, her voice turned cold: "Very well, then tell me the story of Xiba Shizhen."

Zhu Yijun knew that he was going to be reprimanded, but he had no choice but to reply: "Xiba Shizhen, it is said that there was a man named Xiba in Zhou Dynasty who was Meng Sun's servant. Once, Meng Sun went out hunting and got a deer calf, so he asked Xiba to take the deer home in a car. On the way, the doe in the forest found that the deer was being taken away, so she followed the car and refused to leave Seeing this, Xiba was moved and decided to release the calf so that mother and child could be reunited. So Xiba rushed home with an empty car. Meng Sun was furious when he found out, and dismissed Xiba. But three months later, Mengsun Sun went to see Xiba at his residence again, and said that he would ask Xiba to be a teacher for his child and take care of his life. After hearing this, Xiba was very surprised and asked Meng Sun why he was like this. Meng Sun said, you are like this to a deer Caring, let alone my child? I have thought twice and think you are the most suitable candidate."

Concubine Li Gui smiled slightly and said: "Prince, you also have Xiba now, what should you do?"

Zhu Yijun sighed, and said: "Mother is right, it's because the son didn't understand the ideal." He looked at the little sparrow in his hand, and said to it: "Gu also let you go to reunite with your mother."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the newborn feathers of the little sparrow, held it in his hand, and lifted it vigorously.The little sparrow didn't expect to be able to enjoy freedom again, so it immediately gave a cheer and flew away.

Zhu Yijun watched it disappear behind the trees in the corner of the wall, turned around and bowed to Gao Yushi earnestly, and said in his mouth: "Master Gao, it was my fault just now, your persuasion is reasonable, thank you for being my Siba .”

Gao Yushi also earnestly returned the gift, and replied: "Your Highness will correct it after hearing it. It is a blessing for the world. How can a humble minister dare to call himself the 'Xiba' of His Highness? It's just doing your best, Your Highness doesn't have to be like this."

Concubine Li Gui said with a smile: "Look, the monarch and his ministers get along well, isn't that all right?"

Zhu Yijun and Gao Wushi also laughed.

At this moment, the eunuch Meng Chong, the supervisor of ceremonies, hurriedly led people in from outside the hall. Seeing that Concubine Li Gui was also there, he was startled for a moment, and hurried forward to pay his respects.

Concubine Li Gui asked: "Why did Meng Zhangyin come to Zhongcui Palace so urgently?"

Meng Chong first complained to Concubine Li Gui, and then said: "Your Majesty summoned Gao Shidu, there is something urgent."
