Dajin royal family

Chapter 554
It is the consensus of all the people in the Jin Dynasty that children start school at the age of five.

The children of powerful and powerful families naturally invited their husbands to come to the mansion for enlightenment. For example, Jiang Chengxiao had more than a dozen gentlemen who taught him various knowledge.There are lectures on scriptures, history, literature, art of war, and so on.

The children of the aristocratic family entered the enlightenment of ethnology.

There are also two types of common people's families. Merchants and big landlords must invite down-and-out scholars to teach their children.Ordinary people have no such plans, because they simply have no money to educate their children.

But now that his son wants to study, it's not that simple to hire a gentleman.

"What are your plans?" Jiang Chengxiao pinched his wife's catkin and asked softly.

"My concubine thinks so. Please ask Taichang Temple Minister Liu Yuyuan to enlighten Heng'er and Ke'er. Master Liu is strict in teaching and has profound knowledge. He will definitely be able to teach Heng'er and Ke'er well."

Liu Xingyuan, that old guy is indeed very strict, in the face of Wu Nan and Chang Le, he often beats the two little girls with a cane to tears.

However, he has better options.

The third day of the first lunar month in the third year of King Zhao (the 12th year of Hongye).

Yongningfang and Yufu.

Yu Qing followed Jiang Chengxiao for a long time, so Jiang Chengxiao gave him a house in Yongningfang.

"Brother Hui, what is this word?"

In the courtyard, Yu Shinan hugged his grandson, pointed to the big characters on the paper, and taught his grandson.

"Zu." The little guy read out.

"What about this?"

"father."

"How do you read together?"

"Grandfather." The little guy giggled.

"Good boy." Yu Shinan picked up a snack and rewarded him.

Just at this moment, a voice sounded.

"teacher!"

Yu Shinan turned around to look for the reputation, and saw a tall figure standing at the door.

Seeing the person coming, he immediately put down his grandson and bowed his hands, "See King Zhao."

Jiang Chengxiao walked up to him quickly, and took Yu Shinan's hands, both kindly and with a little reproach, "Since the teacher is here in Taiyuan, why didn't you inform me, if it wasn't for accidental knowledge, Qing Que probably didn't know about it!"

"People in the field, how dare you bother King Zhao to come in person." Yu Shinan replied with a smile.

"Teacher, do you still have such a relationship with me!" Jiang Chengxiao pretended to be unhappy.

Yu Shinan smiled moved, and hurriedly invited Jiang Chengxiao into the mansion.

Not long after, Yu Qingze also came to accompany him.

Jiang Chengxiao knelt on the cushion, straightened his sleeves, looked at Yu Shinan and said, "I asked Qing Ze to write to Taiyuan several times before to invite the teacher to come to Taiyuan to have a look. Why didn't the teacher come here until today?"

Hearing this, Yu Shinan explained: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The old man is old. After leaving the court, he has been staying in the Jiangnan tribe to cultivate. Until now, his health has improved slightly, so he came to Taiyuan to visit his grandson."

Jiang Chengxiao was stunned, and didn't ask carefully.

Yu Shinan also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not ready yet, he didn't expect that King Zhao already knew the news of his coming to Taiyuan.

"Teacher, what's your comment on what you've seen and heard all the way here?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

Yu Shinan pondered for a moment, and slowly narrated some of his views on people's livelihood. It was quite satisfactory, without embellishment, but there was nothing outstanding.

From time to time, Yu Qing would also explain a thing or two.

Before I knew it, half an hour passed.

After listening to what Yu Shinan said, Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "Since the teacher has come to Taiyuan, Qing Que, as a disciple, should treat him well."

"Don't dare. Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day. How can you indulge in government affairs because of old age? Please be careful, Your Majesty." Yu Shinan said seriously.

"Qingque has been taught." Jiang Chengxiao arched his hands, and then said: "Qingque has a merciless request, and I hope the teacher will agree."

"My lord, please speak."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the queen mentioned to me how many children were at the time of enlightenment and wanted to find a teacher for them. Dare I ask Master Yu if he would like to teach a few ineffective children?" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

Yu Shinan chuckled, "Since the king has come in person, it would be unreasonable if the old man refuses to agree. I am so talented, I am willing to teach the children how to learn calligraphy."

"Good!" Jiang Chengxiao clapped his palms and said, "Gu then appointed the teacher as the left servant of the official department to teach Heng'er and Ke'er how to learn calligraphy!"

Yu Qing immediately frowned, and quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Huh?" Jiang Chengxiao looked at him puzzled, "Why not?"

Yu Shinan narrowed his eyes, looked at Yu Qing and didn't speak, he also wanted to see if his son could say something.

"Your Majesty, the subject is already the Minister of Internal History, if my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is against the rules." Yu Qing said firmly.

A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Yu Shinan's mouth, and he immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, what Qing said is reasonable, this is inappropriate, and it will cause people to criticize."

The rank of Minister Neishi is not high, but the problem is that he is in an important position and can follow King Zhao to enter the hearing record of Ziwei Hall.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is not a simple position, but an important member of the court.If the father and son were in such a position, they would inevitably gossip about the court officials.

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion."

"But" Yu Qing was about to say something, but Jiang Chengxiao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, turned to look at Yu Shinan, and asked, "Teacher, do you wish?"

Seeing this, Yu Shinan couldn't refuse, so he could only accept the order.

"The minister obeys the order."

Jiang Chengxiao didn't stay in the Yu manor for a long time. In the new year, he still has a lot of things to do. He condolences to the soldiers of the three armies, cares for the families of the soldiers who died in battle, and handles government affairs and other things.Not long after, he bid farewell and left Yu Mansion.

"Father, what does the king mean?" In the study, the father and son were discussing Jiang Chengxiao's intentions for coming.

"Teaching the princes to read is not what the servant of the official department should do. Do you remember what Weifu said before?"

Yu Qing recalled before, and said after a while: "Father said, the king is preparing."

"That's right." Yu Shinan nodded, and then smiled wryly: "I'm afraid it's not just that, the king's plan has other deep meanings."

"what?"

"It's irresistible." Yu Shinan sighed, but did not explain in detail to Yu Qing.

Seeing this, Yu Qing said worriedly: "If father enters the court, I'm afraid that you and I will inevitably be troubled by the imperial censor."

Yu Shinan chuckled, "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."

"Huh?" Yu Qing looked at his father puzzled, "Why?"

Yu Shinan stood up, walked to the window, and said slowly: "Qing Ze, you are the one who is really valued by the king. If my guess is right, you will be released."

Hearing this, the expression on Yu Qingze's face suddenly became richer.He thought of Du Ruming who was working in Hedong County. Is his chance finally coming?

"Father, is it true?" He suppressed the excitement in his heart, his tone trembling.

Although staying in the position of Minister of Internal History can follow King Zhao, it is difficult to make political achievements. Without political achievements, how can he go up?
His fellow friends, Pei Ningqing, Zheng Ruxin, Du Ruming, and others were all practicing in the local area, and he had been envious for a long time.

"Of course it is true!" Yu Shinan said, "You have to prepare well."

"Yes!"

After leaving Yu Mansion, Jiang Chengxiao didn't go directly back to the palace, but went to Jinyang Palace instead.Half an hour later, the group arrived at Jinyang Palace.

This time he came to meet Empress Dowager Xiao, firstly to report on the affairs of the court, and secondly to enhance their relationship.

Having said that, he can't go to Jinyang Palace several times a year, maybe the queen mother has forgotten him.Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxiao smiled inexplicably.

After entering the palace, Jiang Chengxiao went straight to the palace of Empress Dowager Xiao, without hindrance.After arriving at the palace, he dismissed the serving maids, and walked into the inner Buddhist hall with ease.

In the Buddhist hall, he saw Xiao Shunhua kneeling on the futon and praying.

"Auntie." He called out with a smile.

After the voice fell, Xiao Shunhua got up immediately, subconsciously took two steps back, and looked at him with some fear.

"The king came here for...why?"

Since what happened last time, although Jiang Chengxiao kept his promise and didn't bother her again, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense with time.

She knew that she was King Zhao's meal, and when to enjoy it was not up to her, but to King Zhao.

Jiang Chengxiao walked up to her, and calmly stretched out his hands to straighten the broken hair on her forehead, "Why is my aunt nervous? I'm here to report to my aunt about the affairs of the court."

"No need, just let the king decide everything." Her tone was full of fear, she didn't understand what Jiang Chengxiao wanted to do.

Obviously he could get her by force, but he never made a move, playing with her like a cat playing with a mouse.

"That can't be done, I'm not a traitor." Jiang Chengxiao smiled and held her hand involuntarily, "Auntie, your hands are so cold, why don't you know how to cherish your body?"

Jiang Chengxiao's tone was reproachful, but in Xiao Shunhua's eyes, it was like a devil.

"me."

"Auntie, don't be afraid, I won't do anything." Jiang Chengxiao said: "However, as I said, you have to take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he pulled her away from the Buddhist hall.
