I studied in modern times

Chapter 32 Xiang Huang: Relatives and estrangements are clear at a glance (seek to follow up, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward)

Zhao Xu leisurely read the book all morning.

In the middle, he also copied the "Disaster Elimination Sutra" again.

Obviously, Zhao Xu did it on purpose.

Deliberately keeping Queen Mother Gao's answer, waiting to come to the Queen's door.

After a short while in the afternoon, Queen Xiang really came to Qingning Palace.

"Mother's Queen!" Zhao Xu was the same as in the past few days. When he saw Queen Xiang, he immediately trotted forward to meet him, and then hugged Queen Xiang who squatted down to meet him, and kissed the latter lightly: "You are here, my son has been waiting for you all this time!"

Empress Xiang happily hugged the little child in front of her, and patted Zhao Xu's little head: "What are you waiting for me, my son?"

"But I want to ask my mother about educational matters!" Zhao Xu said seriously with his clear and flawless eyes.

Hearing this from Queen Xiang, and seeing Zhao Xu's earnest, cute, well-behaved, and sensible appearance, he was instantly relieved and moved!
"This child is really good!" Empress Xiang sighed in her heart, her eyes became moist unconsciously.

Since that day, Concubine Zhu De thanked her in front of her, and then she personally took Concubine Zhu De to Baoci Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that the concubine Zhu had already entrusted the upbringing and care of the sixth son of the emperor, the Prince of Yan'an, to the Empress of the Central Palace!

In other words, now, Zhao Xu is not only her son in etiquette.

In fact, Queen Xiang and Zhao Xu also belong to the mother-child relationship.

So, now, Queen Xiang heard that Zhao Xu wanted to ask her for advice.

This mood is naturally conceivable!

Empress Xiang took a deep breath to calm down, and also tried her best to endure the hot tears that swirled in her eyes, not letting them fall out, and then said to Zhao Xu: "What is my son puzzled about?"

Unlike Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Xiang's family is a scholarly family with hairpin tassels for generations.

Although, Xiang's family's reading atmosphere has been much worse since the Queen's father and grandparents.

But after all, it is the foundation of the prime minister's family.

In addition, the timing of the birth of the queen is also very clever.

When she was born, it was the sixth year of Qingli, and the Qingli New Deal had failed!

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Du Yan were all released. This is the misfortune of the court, but the great fortune of the world!
The failure of the Qingli New Deal made Fan Zhongyan understand that schools must be established and talents must be obtained!
The vigorous Qingli Xingxue movement kicked off.

From the imperial imperial court in the central government to the state studies and county studies in local states and counties, they were established sequentially.

At the same time, with the encouragement and promotion of Fan Zhongyan and others, the wave of private lectures by private academies and Confucian scholars also swept the world.

Mr. Lianxi, Zhou Dunyi, and Mr. Anding, Hu Yuan, are all full of peaches and plums.

Empress Xiang, who was born under such a social trend, received an orthodox and complete Confucian basic education in the boudoir.

She can even write good poems and has a certain artistic quality.

Naturally, Empress Xiang has full confidence in educating Zhao Xu!

In her opinion, no matter how smart this child is, he is only eight years old.

Judging from the education she received in the boudoir and the accumulation of classics she read, is she afraid that she will not be able to teach?

Queen Xiang even felt complacent in her heart.

"My son, the queen mother will teach you well!"

Zhao Xu then led Queen Xiang to his desk, pointed to the books and papers on the desk, and said to the Queen, "When I was a child, my mother gave me a book from the sage's "Spring and Autumn Annals".

Listening to Zhao Xu's narration, Queen Xiang almost understood the matter, so she said to Zhao Xu: "My mother understands!"

"It's just that, if my son wants to study in the future, he can send someone to the Kunning Hall to talk to the empress..." He said softly to the empress, "Don't go to Baoci Palace anymore, and trouble the empress!"

"Mother, she is an old man, and her mother loves the world, so she may not have a lot of time!"

"Does my son know?"

Zhao Xu immediately nodded obediently: "Mother, I know!"

But in his heart, he already chuckled lightly.

Look!

Competition between women is always easy to provoke.

In modern times, a bag, a bottle of perfume, and a lipstick number can provoke a fight between two women.

And the empress dowagers and empresses in this big inner court own the whole world, so naturally they won't compete for that little thing.

But fame and fortune, who can escape?
Queen Xiang may not have a desire for power.

But she also has something she cares about and is willing to fight for.

Her status, her fame, the wealth of her and the Xiang family behind her were all she cared about in the past.

But now, through his own means, Zhao Xu successfully bound him and Queen Xiang together, forming a mother-child relationship.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's education rights and custody rights have become the things that Queen Xiang cares about now.

And what about Zhao Xu?

He's just a kid.

It is normal for children to be innocent and naive, and it is also normal for children to be simple and innocent.

Even if he accidentally did something wrong, who can blame him?
What's more, Zhao Xu will not easily do wrong things.

If he is going to do something wrong, it must be done with deliberation, and must be done to achieve some goal.

……

This afternoon, under the guidance of Empress Xiang, Zhao Xu began to 'study' in Qingning Palace.

It seems that everything is being led by the queen, and it is also being earnestly and kindly seduced by the queen.

But the eight-year-old prince just listened carefully, thought carefully, occasionally drew inferences from one instance, and occasionally uttered words that belonged to 'smart', 'benevolent saint', and 'gentleman'.

At the same time, from time to time, Zhao Xu would stop to listen to the lecture, order someone to make tea for Empress Xiang, or ask Empress Xiang to take a break, and personally rub her shoulders and beat her back.

From time to time, he would spit out a sentence: the mother has worked hard, or said affectionately: "The mother's teachings, my son will remember them in my heart!"

In short, good words don't cost money.

So, after one afternoon, Queen Xiang was full of joy. Not only did she not feel tired at all, she even felt that even if she taught in Qingning Palace for three days and three nights, she would not feel tired at all.

This feeling of personally teaching her son to read, this kind of son listening carefully while caring about her body, and the warm moments of mother and son rubbing against her ears from time to time.

Let Queen Xiang feel like drinking fairy wine, only feeling light and buoyant, not knowing what year it is?

In a trance, sometimes looking at Zhao Xu's pink, ruddy, and fair face to the queen, he would have an illusion.

It seemed that his child who unfortunately died young did not actually die.

He was just kept quietly in the deep palace by the officials.

Now, finally mother and son meet.

Moreover, as soon as they met, it was as if they had been a mother and child for a lifetime.

Mother is kind and son is filial!

This made Empress Xiang, even after leaving the Qingning Palace and returning to the Kunning Palace, she was always thinking about it, and was always immersed in the warm atmosphere of mother-child communication.

So, this evening, for the first time in ten years, the queen in Kunning Palace sat in front of the dressing table and asked Mrs. Zhang to dress her up.

At the same time, Empress Xiang began to look forward to the teaching in Qingning Palace tomorrow.

She was already intoxicated in such an atmosphere, and even wished to stay in such a moment forever.

However, the worry is still there.

Looking at her own image in the mirror, Queen Xiang recalled the lessons she had taught in the afternoon.

Brother Six is ​​so smart!
Now, although he is immature, he can already ask many questions that make even Queen Xiang feel surprised and amazed.

Empress Xiang feels that if things go on like this, as a mother empress, she may not be able to keep up with sixth brother's learning speed.

How is this possible?

However, it doesn't matter!

Empress Xiang remembered the old affairs of the country that her father and grandfather had told her when they were in the boudoir.

When Zhang Xian, Empress Mingsu, came to the imperial court, she raised the Temple of Ren under her knees.

Because Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu was busy with government affairs, the care and support of Renmiao was actually raised by Concubine Yang Shu, who was later Empress Dowager Baoqing.

This is of course not advisable!

However, Zhang Xianmingsu did another thing, which made the queen's father and grandfather praise him endlessly.

That is, let Yan Shu, a prodigy and talent, accompany Renmiao to study.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiang asked Yan Shouqin who was standing behind the curtain: "Yan Shouqin, who is the note of the Prince's Pavilion?"

Yan Shouqin lowered his head and replied: "Zuzhi sage: The note of the Prince's Pavilion today should be Deng Runfu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy!"

"Deng Runfu?" The queen frowned. Like Queen Gao, Queen Xiang didn't like this minister who was involved in Zheng Xia's case.

Even, to a certain extent, Empress Xiang hates Deng Runfu more than Empress Dowager Gao!
Why did Xiang Jing, the father of the queen, go to Qingzhou to become an official?

The reason is that he can't stay in Bianjing anymore.

Why can't I stay any longer?

Because Xiang Jing was reported, he shadowed pedestrians in the market and robbed people of their wealth!
However, it is common for relatives before Xiang Jing to shadow pedestrians.

Liu family, Yang family, Cao family, Gao family, who hasn't done it?
Why did it fail when he arrived at Xiang's house! ?
You Wang Anshi and Lu Jiawen are targeting me, Xiang Jia, right?

The most important thing is that Xiang Jing died of illness because he was out of Qingzhou.

Queen Xiang didn't even have time to see her father for the last time!
This made her and her brother hate to this day!
As a result, Zheng Xia's position with the queen has rapidly risen.

There was no reason, just because Zheng Xia let Wang Anshi lose face and let out a bad breath for Queen Xiang!
Now, hearing the name of the person who punished Zheng Xia in the past, if Queen Xiang could be happy, then it would be a ghost!

However, Yan Shouqin's words dissipated the resentment in Queen Xiang's heart.

"Sage, the note of the Prince's Pavilion is a minister of the Yan'an County King!"

"Story, the minister of the hidden residence of the country, is the confidant of the emperor, and must be of great use!"

These words reminded Queen Xiang of Han Wei and Li Chun.

Both of these two people joined the army when they were officials in the official residence, and they both won the trust of the officials!
Especially Han Wei, Wang Anshi was recommended by Han Wei to the officials!
So, he nodded and said: "You are right, but I was negligent!"

Zheng Xia is just an outsider.

Brother Six is ​​her son.

It is clear at a glance which is near and which is far.

Although Deng Runfu may have never met Sixth Brother.

But, he is the note of the Prince's Pavilion, the only minister of the Sixth Brother's hidden residence!
that's enough!
So, that night, Queen Xiang sent someone overnight to Qingning Palace, and copied the Spring and Autumn Guliang Biography and Empress Dowager Gao's answer in Zhao Xu's hands.

At the same time, Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar who was on standby in the imperial city, was summoned to Jiying Hall by the Queen's decree.

That night, the lights in the Jiying Hall were lit up to midnight.

　Note: Yingzhan Pedestrian, as the name suggests, is to entrust merchants' goods under their own name, so as to escape from the government.

　　What is Kefu?

　　Before the Market Exchange Law, the government could buy and sell merchants' goods at will. This is Ke Fu, and now it is called white prostitution.

　　It is also in the charcoal seller: a cart of charcoal, more than a thousand dollars, the palace envoys will not regret it, half a horse of red shoots and a length of silk, tied to the head of a bull to fill the charcoal straight.

　　Therefore, many businessmen in the Song Dynasty slyly sent their property and goods under the names of foreign relatives, senior officials and internal ministers in order to avoid scientific research.

　　The law of the market is changed, so as not to replace it with money.

　　Of course, the Market Change Law also has great disadvantages, many people know it, so I won’t repeat it here.
