Text Chapter 12 (40) Let Tian Xiu go

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Dongyuan said he didn't believe it, but in fact he was convinced in his heart.  He wiped his hands and face with the hot towel given by the palace maid, holding back a smile and asked Nanyang: "Who is so bold and dares to misinterpret Qu Zi's "Heavenly Questions" in this way?"

    Nanyang could see that her father was in a good mood at this time, so he smiled and said, "You can't guess who this is."

    Emperor Dongyuan smiled.  What's so hard to guess?  Ordinary scholars feel that they don¡¯t have enough time to read the serious books for exams, and will not make great efforts to study Chu Ci; those who have become officials are worried about the complicated personnel and miscellaneous official affairs every day, and have no time to think about it; but they have time to research and verify.  There were only a few people in Nanyang who could tell the authenticity of the original "Tian Wen" and the incredible explanation Just after thinking about it for a while, he found the answer: "It's Tian Dongli  My daughter, right? What's her name, Tian, ??Tian" He really couldn't think of Tian Xiu's name. He just remembered that Tian Xiu's nickname was Qingshan, and he published a book a few years ago.  The name seems to be "Qingshan Manuscript".  Thinking of this "Qingshan Manuscript", which was very controversial at the time, he naturally thought of Changsha who helped Tian Xiu publish the book.  It's strange, Concubine De is sick, why can't she only see Nanyang but not Changsha?  Could it be that the two daughters are having trouble again?  He interrupted his conversation and asked, "Where is Slave Rouge? Why didn't she come today?"

    "My name is Tian Xiu." Nanyang said, "Rouge Slave has been hiding in the military camp recently. However, the day after tomorrow is Double Ninth Festival. No matter how busy she is, she will definitely come back tomorrow."

    Emperor Dongyuan didn¡¯t care much about the Double Ninth Festival.  During the important festivals throughout the year, the emperor has his own customs for standing, sitting and moving. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and his concubines, princes, princes and grandsons would watch songs and dances while appreciating the moon. During the Double Ninth Festival, he would wish good health and enjoy chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine together with the veterans who were in Beijing during the Double Ninth Festival.  It has been the same every year for more than ten years, and I have long been tired of it and feel panicked.  But there seemed to be something more in Nanyang's words, which made him curious, and asked: "Why did she hide in the military camp?"

    ¡°¡­There¡¯s a scholar who¡¯s been pestering her lately.¡±

    "What's going on?"

    "He is a graduate of the Pei family in Jiangzhou who came to the capital to take the exam next year." Nanyang said.  She was a little funny when it came to this matter.  In early August, she was invited to attend a cultural gathering in Nuwa Mountain outside the city.  This kind of literary meeting requires not only the ability to write articles, but also poems and poems. Sometimes it lasts for ten days and a half. She was afraid that she would be bored alone on Nuwa Mountain, so she wanted to ask someone to accompany her along the way.  It happened that Chen Pu had just attended a meeting at the Ministry of War in the past few days, so she grabbed her sister.  The literary conference was a great success. Most of the people invited were celebrities and high-ranking officials from all over the country, and several good articles and poems were produced.  In this kind of situation, she was naturally at ease; but Chen Pu was a little unhappy.  It happened that this Pei family kid would come to her side whenever he had something to do, and chat with her in random ways. Chen Pu was not able to get angry, and was so angry that he left without saying goodbye.  The scholar surnamed Pei didn't give up. When he returned to the city, he found the Changsha Princess Mansion, and then found her in Zhuangzi outside the city. Chen Pu just wanted to draw his sword and kill this guy!  She had no choice but to hide in the Gyeonggi Camp to avoid the chaos.

    Emperor Dongyuan listened cheerfully with a smile on his face at first, but gradually the smile on his face faded.  The two daughters in Nanyang and Changsha are still in their youth, but both are widowed. This is also a problem in his heart.  Especially Nanyang. Nanyang's husband died unjustly with his approval, which made him always feel a little guilty when facing Nanyang.  In the past two years, he has been trying to find a good husband for Nanyang, and has also secretly paid attention to some people.  But after looking back and forth, I always felt that these people were a little too mediocre and not worthy of Nanyang, so I never mentioned them to Nanyang.  His daughter is very arrogant and has a high vision. If she points out an idle man as her husband, she may think it is humiliating her!  And rushing is not the answer to this kind of thing, he can only pay attention slowly.

    After Nanyang finished speaking, he asked thoughtfully: "Have you ever heard about the situation of this Pei family's children?"

    "I've asked about it." Nanyang also put away his relaxed expression of joking and telling stories, lowered his eyes and replied with a serious expression, "He is the direct descendant of Pei's family in Wenxi, Jiangzhou. He is the second son in the family and a disciple of Song Guan, a famous scholar in Hebei.  The articles are all worthy of mention, and he ranked first in the Jiangzhou Prefectural Examination last year. This man is twenty-seven years old this year. His wife died of illness four years ago. He has a son and a daughter, aged ten and six respectively. They are both young children in the family.  Raised by my concubine"

    Emperor Dongyuan listened in silence and said nothing.  The family background and age are pretty good, but the status of the child is a little different.  It seems that this matter needs to be put aside for a while to see what kind of results the Pei family will have in participating in the big test next year, and then we can say more.  He said to Nanyang: "Find someone to talk to him and let him feel at ease about the imperial examination first."

    Nanyang nodded.  That's what she meant too.  If this guy can't even make it to the second place in the big test, don't think about reaching the sky in one fell swoop.  The princesses of the Zhao Dynasty generally either married the descendants of meritorious ministers, or married to the rank and origin of Jinshi.  Betroth the princess to a girl?Beginning with Jinshi?  It is impossible for Tianjia to lose such face!

    Emperor Dongyuan picked up the topic again: "This new interpretation of "Tianwen" was said by Tian Dongli's daughter, right?"

    Nanyang¡¯s expression was a little dazed, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: ¡°¡­No. It¡¯s not her¡­¡±

    Emperor Dongyuan just thought that she had heard that there was some hope for his sister's marriage, so he felt sorry for himself, sighed silently in his heart, and without thinking much, he said casually: "It's not her? Who else could it be? I can't think of it.  .¡±

    "It's Uncle Yingxian."

    "Huh?" Emperor Dongyuan was about to drink water, but when he put the tea cup to his mouth, he stopped, frowned and said doubtfully, "Is it Shang Yanshan? One by one, this is really beyond my expectation!"  He put down the tea cup, thought about it, shook his head again, and said in a tone that he couldn't explain, "When you get on the horse, you can lead the troops to fight, when you get off the horse, you can govern the place, and you can also tinker with glass and celestial instruments.  He was planning a strategy for the East Japan, and at the same time emptied the family's wealth to lend money and make profits. Now he can even understand this question in "Tian Wen" This Shangzhuguo of mine is really versatile.  "

    This flat tone, this voice that didn¡¯t sound like any ups and downs, and even that chuckle made Nanyang confused for a moment.  She did not continue what her father said, but just said matter-of-factly: "This explanation of Chu Ci is indeed from the mouth of Ying County uncle. My daughter, sister, brother, and Tian Xiu were all there at the time"

    At this time, the palace maid came over with a bowl of decoction.  Emperor Dongyuan refused to let the palace maid feed Concubine De to take the medicine. He took the bowl himself, took a spoon and took a spoonful of the soup and tried it on his lips. He felt that it was not too hot, and then handed it to Concubine De.  He turned back to Nanyang and said, "Rouge Nu and Can'er are here too? When did it happen?"

    ¡°¡­It¡¯s the day of the Xiaoman solar term.¡±

    "On that day, Xiaoman? You were born on that day, so your nickname is Xiaoman - that day is your birth date" He took the empty medicine bowl from Concubine De and put it on the tray in the palace maid's hand.  He raised his head and glanced at Nanyang, with something strange in his eyes.  On the day of the princess's birthday, why did he ask a foreign minister from Yanshan to join in the fun?

    "Uncle Yingxian doesn't know about this." Nanyang quickly explained, "Didn't he get punished by his father when he went to the Eastern Japan Strategy? You fined him a few months of salary and grounded him.  Twenty days. During that time, my daughter had some money and food, so she borrowed some from him. When she heard that he had been punished, she was worried that he would be afraid of disaster, so she went to comfort him. He said a few words.  After the confinement period is over, the day I come to express my gratitude to my daughter happens to be the Xiaoman solar term."

    ?That¡¯s what happened.  Emperor Dongyuan nodded.  He knew about Nanyang's borrowing money from Shang Cheng.  Not only Nanyang, but Changsha also borrowed a lot of money from Shang Cheng.  There is no way, who makes the Eastern Japanese Strategy have so many places to spend money, and why do you need money so urgently?  Even he, the emperor, had to grit his teeth to squeeze out 700,000 yuan from his concubine's money and food.  Although the 700,000 yuan was not paid out all at once, but paid in four installments within a year, until now, he still did not know where to find the source of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.  He even had to seriously consider a question, if he really couldn't get money or food in the end, should he show off the majesty of the emperor and act rogue While thinking about this serious question again, he glanced at Nanyang with satisfaction.  Nanyang could think that Shang Yanshan might be frightened and frightened after being punished - although he felt that this inference was a bit nonsense - and he was very happy to be able to comfort him as a princess.

    He said: "Tian Dongli's daughter is a famous entertainer. What does she think of Shang Yanshan's interpretation of Chu Ci?"

    "Tian Xiu said that Yingxian Bo's interpretation of the nineteen is credible." Nanyang said.  When Tian Xiu questioned Shang Cheng with "Tian Wen", she and Chen Pu were nearby. Tian Xiu asked a question, and Shang Cheng answered a question. It was difficult to describe the classics and quotes, but each sentence could tie into one or two myths.  There is absolutely no doubt about the records in stories or miscellaneous books.  In the end, Tian Xiu could only close the book and say with emotion that if Shang Cheng could describe and excerpt all the origins of these mythical stories in detail, it would be easy to write a "New Commentary on Tianwen".

    "That's right," Emperor Dongyuan looked careless, as if he suddenly remembered something, and finally brought the topic to the real purpose of his visit to Qiongfang Palace.  "There is a man named Jiang Tuan in the Ministry of Industry. It seems that he was promoted by Shang Zida when he was working in Yanshan. Have you met this man?"

    Nanyang nodded, feeling a little baffled.  She often walked around the village in Shangcheng, so she naturally met Jiang Tuan.  In fact, she initially followed Jiang Tuan's advice when she widened the bridge and road outside Zhuangzi facing the river and built a large hotel with stables and warehouses.  However, Jiang Tuan seemed to be just an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry. There was no reason why his father would suddenly mention??Where is this person?

    "I left the palace incognito today. I said I was going to inspect the people's affairs, but unexpectedly I met Lu Qian on the way. Do you remember Lu Qian, right?"

    Nanyang nodded again.  She had heard of this man.  Ten years ago, this man went to Beijing to take the examination for the Ministry of Rites. When he was writing a policy paper, he accidentally wrote the sentence "The Emperor's grace is vast" on the examination paper - the word "Hao" violated the taboo of the emperor's name.  After making such a big mistake, Lu Qian stopped thinking about leaping over the dragon's gate, and the paper was rejected by the examiner at that time.  But this man's fate was good. His scrap scroll was actually seen by Emperor Dongyuan. I don't know what Emperor Dongyuan was thinking at the time. He scrawled the word "Hao" and wrote the word "Gao" next to it.  With the emperor correcting his mistakes in his own hand, Lu Qian's examination paper must not be a waste paper under any circumstances; not only is it not a waste paper, this person must also pass the exam.  Therefore, even though Lu Qian's strategy for taking the exam was unclear and his rhymed poems were terrible, the examiner still pinched his nose and gave him a third-ranked scholar with the same background as Jinshi.  Afterwards, Lu Qian learned about this incident and burst into tears. From then on, Emperor Dongyuan became his teacher - the "Yi Zi Shi" was also his teacher.  Emperor Dongyuan also felt that Lu Qian was an honest and generous person, and he was relatively close to him.  However, because Lu Qian himself did not have enough knowledge and no outstanding talents, despite the care of Emperor Dongyuan, his official career was stumbling, and he is still just a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    She quickly recalled some of Lu Qian's stories, but said nothing.

    "Lu Qian introduced this Jiang Tuan to me." Emperor Dongyuan said.  In front of his daughter, he made no attempt to hide it.  "This Jiang Tuan seems to have some knowledge. But I can't understand what he said, and some of his ideas seem undesirable. Moreover, I didn't identify myself at the time, and he was a little wary of me. Some of his words were just general.  The talk is very general and empty. Go back and see Tian Xiu, ask her and Lu Qian to talk to Jiang Tuan again, and prepare a memorial for me." At this point, he glanced at Nanyang as if inadvertently -  The memorial is "give it to me"!  Seeing Nanyang nod slightly, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "By the way, there was someone beside Jiang Tuan at that time. It is said that he was a guest of Shang Yanshan. Although this man was not good-looking, what he said made sense. You let me  Tian Xiu and Lu Qian also met together."

    "Yes. My daughter has remembered it all."

    "Okay, go ahead." Emperor Dongyuan said.

    Nanyang was slightly stunned.  Father is going to drive her away now?  Could it be that my father is going to stay in Qiongfang Hall tonight?  This is something that hasn¡¯t happened in four or five years!

    She said nothing, lowered her head and bowed to her father and mother respectively before exiting the Xiang Pavilion.

    She doesn¡¯t need to find Tian Xiu another day.  When Tian Xiu was in Beijing, he always lived in her princess mansion. Now she can see her when she returns home
