Qing Jialu

After seeing Queen Su, Xiao Yi went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and summoned Cheng Ge and Shen Jia.

"You two have worked hard this time." Xiao Yi watched Cheng and Shen enter the door, did not wait for them to bow down, and let Eunuch Chen help Cheng Lao to sit down.

After Mr. Cheng sat down, he respectfully said: "Your Majesty is strategizing, and I just tried my best to stand up for His Majesty. Shen Changqing, on the other hand, was able to persuade the stubborn officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which really surprised the old minister."

Xiao Yi also looked at Shen Jia, nodded and said, "It's done very well."

Shen Jia got up hastily, "Your Majesty and elder Ge have praised you so much, I dare not be a minister."

"It's right." Xiao Yi smiled and raised his hand to signal, "Sit down."

Looking at the interaction between Xiao Yi and Shen Jia, Cheng Ge always had a doubt in his heart, when did His Majesty trust Shen Jia so much?During the period of leaving court, only Shen Jia was seen.

As for Shen Jia, when did he stand on His Majesty's side and was completely subdued by His Majesty?

In Cheng Ge's opinion, this is incredible.In the Liang Dynasty, the bones of civil servants were harder than iron. For the sake of fame, they were not afraid of life and death.

Many emperors in the previous dynasty gradually accumulated conflicts due to their discord with civil officials. In the end, they either neglected the government or distrusted civil servants, only favoring eunuchs and Jin Yiwei.

This is how the misfortune of the factory guards in the former dynasty came about.

However, today's emperor's iron-blooded wrists shocked all the officials without relying on Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.But coercion is unpopular in the end, and it would be great to be able to subdue a poor family like Shen Jia and speak for the emperor in court.

"I called the two of you here today to discuss something." Xiao Yi went straight to the topic and said, "I plan to reset the Hongwen Museum and let King Su go out to study. I want to invite Cheng Lao to give lectures and Changqing to give lectures. Then Choose another three or four people with both ability and political integrity from the court, and enter the hall to give lectures on the scriptures."

In just a few words, Shen Jia was stunned, and even Cheng Ge was greatly surprised.The emperor's name is to reset the Hongwen Museum, but he is actually paving the way for King Su.

"Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Cheng Ge asked tentatively.

"Well." Xiao Yi knew what Cheng Lao asked. He couldn't answer directly, so he had to say, "King Su is ten years old, and he is not young. The two of you will explain the collection of classics and history to King Su, so that he can understand the truth and understand the ancient and modern. , peace of mind, and knowledge of people's livelihood, I will entrust my fourth brother to the two of you."

"I obey the order." Elder Cheng Ge and Shen Jia said in unison.

Seeing the matter, the emperor asked the two to leave.Although Shen Jia was full of doubts, she had no choice but to leave with the master.

The Hongwen Museum was located in the Wenhua Hall, and Mr. Cheng Ge selected several great Confucian scholars from the Imperial Academy to give lectures to King Su together.And Shen Jia, the left servant of the household department, is also serving as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy this time.In this way, Shen Jia became the official of Jingyan again.

Although it is a false title, there has always been a tradition in the country that "non-scholars do not enter the Hanlin, and non-hanlin do not enter the cabinet". When Xiao Yi arranged a teacher for King Su, he did not forget to put Shen Jia in.

The courtiers were really surprised when King Su left the cabinet, but no one objected.After all, compared to the arrogant and domineering King Kui, it would be better to be succeeded by King Su in the future.

However, King Kui didn't react too much to this matter, and has been staying behind closed doors for many days, as if he didn't know about it at all.

When Shen Jia met King Su for the first time, she really couldn't connect this child with the descendants of the royal family.There is no arrogance and domineering, no extravagance and lust, just as obedient as a rabbit.Cheng Ge always reads when he asks him to read, and writes when he asks him to write.He also listened very carefully to the lectures. If he had to talk about his shortcomings, it would be that he was too timid.

King Su seemed to be a little afraid of the first and assistant ministers, and he was also a little scared of Shen Jia, who was meeting him for the first time.When Shen Jia saluted him, the recipient seemed to be more nervous than the one who saluted.It's unimaginable that this would be a child of the royal family.

But this is also good, the students are so well-behaved and smart, it's too worry-free for them to read.

Shen Jia was on duty every three days and went to Wenhua Hall to give lectures to King Su.This day happened to be his turn again. After the morning class, King Su went to have lunch, while Shen Jia was in the Wenhua Hall preparing for the Confucian classics to be lectured in the afternoon.

Just as he was seriously preparing for the lesson, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. Shen Jia looked up and saw someone outside the window.

"Who trespassed in the important place of Wenhua Palace?" Shen Jia asked loudly.

"It's me." The person who came pushed open the door and whispered, "Keep quiet."

Looking at the visitor, Shen Jia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.I saw the visitor, dressed in four round dragon collar uniforms and a golden winged crown, casually stepping into the hall.

"Your Majesty." Shen Jia stood up and saluted.

"Pingshen, sit down." Xiao Yi looked around the room, "Where is King Su?"

"He has gone to eat." Shen Jia also looked outside the hall, "Did His Majesty bring anyone?"

"In the palace, I don't like people to follow." Xiao Yi said, "Besides, I came here secretly to check my fourth brother's homework."

Shen Jia looked at Xiao Yi's appearance, as if she was worried about the child's playfulness, and secretly followed the father behind the child.

Shen Jia lowered his head and suppressed a smile, Xiao Yi casually picked up the book on Shen Jia's desk, flipped through a few pages and said, "Still talking about "The Analects of Confucius"?"

"The master said that His Royal Highness King Su did not give systematic lectures before, and his foundation was not good enough. He planned to start teaching Confucian classics from the beginning." Shen Jia explained.

Xiao Yi stretched out his hand, "Is there any article written by the fourth brother, show me."

It just so happened that yesterday Cheng Ge asked Su Wang to make a policy statement, Shen Jia rummaged through it for a while, and presented it to His Majesty for review.

Sitting on the main seat, Xiao Yi glanced at the past, at least the handwriting was neat and strong, unlike his lack of wrist strength.

But the argument is still quite naive, after all, he is only ten years old, and the article doesn't have much depth.

"Su Wang has just entered the Hongwen Museum to study, so it's very good to write like this." Shen Jia defended Su Wang one or two times.

Xiao Yi didn't comment, and asked again: "Changqing, he has been in class for several days, what do you think of him?"

"Your Highness is talented and intelligent, if you teach him, you will become a great weapon."

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Jia, thinking that this person's official language became more and more slippery.

At this moment, King Su came back after finishing his meal, saw the emperor was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Exemption." Seeing his fourth brother get up, Xiao Yi comforted him, "I'm here to walk around casually, don't panic."

Talking around casually, King Su saw that the emperor was still holding his own strategy in his hand, and his face turned pale.

Xiao Yi looked at Ce Lun in his hand, "You did a good job, not bad. Scholar Shen was still praising you just now, wasn't he?"

Seeing Xiao Yi looking at him, Shen Jia said, "Yes, His Highness is still young, and the articles are already written very well."

King Su felt relieved, and sat down next to the chair with the emperor's gesture.

Xiao Yi asked Shen Jia again: "How are King Su's lessons arranged?"

Shen Jia replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, every five days, Mr. Cheng Ge will give lectures on agriculture, politics and business. In the rest of the time, Xueshi Zhang, Xueshi Wang and his ministers will explain the collection of classics and history for His Highness, and the Spring and Autumn Period of the University."

"It's really hard work." Xiao Yi looked at his fourth brother and suddenly smiled.

Seeing the emperor laughing suddenly, not only King Su was startled, but even Shen Jia was startled.Looking back carefully at what I just said, is there something wrong?

Xiao Yi stopped laughing, "When I was your age, I was still playing around in the palace, lawless, and didn't study hard. Later, I went to the northwest."

King Su was taken aback, and looked at the emperor curiously.My second brother actually has a lawless time when he doesn't study?

"In the northwest, the folk customs are tough. When I was in the army, I even put down my books." Xiao Yi looked at Shen Jia, "Changqing is from Fujian, isn't he used to it when he was an official in Shaanxi?"

"At first I wasn't used to it." Shen Jia recalled the past, "but then I fell in love with Shaanxi's pasta. If I don't eat it for a day, I feel that there is something missing."

Xiao Yi also smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, now I only like noodles, not rice. In the capital, I don't get used to it."

King Su had never been out of the capital, watching the emperor chatting happily with Xueshi Shen, he was not at all restrained.He was a little curious, why is Bachelor Shen not afraid of His Majesty at all?

Xiao Yi and Shen Jia casually said a few words about Northwest folk customs, and seeing that it was almost time to give lectures, they stopped disturbing them.

"I'm leaving, fourth brother, you should study hard with the bachelors."

"Your brother complies with the order." King Su respectfully said.

Shen Jia got up and said: "I will see you off to His Majesty."

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Jia, and just happened to have something to say to Shen Jia alone, so he nodded, "That's fine."

Xiao Yi and Shen Jia walked on the path of Wenhua Palace, Xiao Yi walked in front, and said melancholy: "He is still afraid of me."

"Maybe it's not because he's afraid of His Majesty." Shen Jia analyzed, "His Royal Highness Su has experienced two dynasties in the palace, wisely protecting himself and acting in a low-key manner, which is the way of survival he has long been accustomed to."

Xiao Yi understood that his fourth younger brother moved into the palace after his father ascended the throne, and his elder brother did not drive him out of the palace when he was in power, so he might be struggling in the palace and he is used to being frightened.

"The grievances between adults scare children." Xiao Yi sighed, "He is good at everything, but as an heir, he is still too timid and weak."

"Your Majesty has seen it, and will definitely guide His Highness well." Shen Jia knew that Xiao Yi was not just idle to talk to him about the Northwest folk customs, he just wanted King Su to let go of his wariness and timidity and get closer to him.

"I don't expect him to open up territories like his grandfather, but I only hope that he will be a successful king." Xiao Yi said, "At least he can hold down the ministers."

Shen Jia smiled, Xiao Yi was able to restrain his subordinates, comparable to his grandfather Hongwu Emperor.

"Your Majesty." Shen Jia said, "I have a question, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"speak."

"The day your majesty entered the palace, why did you enter the palace on horseback?"

This question has troubled Shen Jia for a long time.Especially when Master Li told about the scene at that time, Shen Jia became even more curious.

Xiao Yi turned his head and glared at Shen Jia, wondering why this person suddenly asked such a boring question.He said truthfully: "After fighting for so long, I'm just tired and too lazy to walk. Why do you ask this?"

It turned out to be so, it turned out to be so.What deterred old ministers, what ignored Tianwei, are all made up by the brain.

Shen Jia held back her laughter, thinking that if Master Li and the others knew the reason, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
