Chapter 27 Chapter 27
After the draft, Wu Junyi's mood became worse as expected.
His biological mother, who gave birth to the emperor's heir, passed away due to dystocia, and she was no more than a beautiful woman.His father directly named a beauty in the draft, where does this put the face of him and his biological mother?
Wu Junyi was angry, and the people around him would suffer.
Zhou Kuang was giving them a lecture on "The Doctrine of the Mean". After a section of the lecture, the old gentleman stopped to drink tea and rest, Wu Junyi suddenly said: "Sir, what's the use of studying classics and articles? Can it help Daqi to resist foreign enemies? "
Zhou Kuang was taken aback.Looking at Wu Junyi with displeasure in his eyes, "Why did Your Highness suddenly say such nonsense? A sage once said that politicians are upright. If a handsome man is upright, who dares to be unrighteous. If you can't read poems and books, you can use the scriptures to understand things, Sincerity and righteousness, self-cultivation and family harmony, how can we govern the country and the world?"
Wu Junyi was still not convinced.He had read these, his father had also read them, and the Emperor Xiandi had also read them.But what's the use of reading it?Can the Xianbei Nu be defeated steadily?Can you regain your homeland and unify the country?
However, Wu Junyi knew that these words could not be said out loud.Before he knew it, there were more and more things he needed to hide from his father.
"His Royal Highness is older, so he will learn from you when you deal with government affairs. What you have to do now is to study." Zhou Kuang's tone was a little harsher, "Your Highness is uneasy today, so copy "University" twenty times."
After Zhou Kuang went out, Wu Muhao flicked his wrist, handed over the three clean and tidy university articles with the same handwriting, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness is really angry today."
"Next time if you have any questions to ask the Grand Master, can you say hello to me first?"
Wu Junyi was also a little embarrassed to implicate him. "You don't need to copy the rest. You go back to the mansion first, and Gu will send you out."
He sent the King of Chu out of the Wenhua Gate, and when he turned back, he saw the bustle and bustle at the gate of the Wuying Hall, so he immediately lowered his face.
Wuying Hall is opposite to Wenhua Hall, located on both sides of Fengtian Gate, its significance can be seen.However, such an important palace was given to the palace academy by Emperor Jianning.
It is said to be an academy, but it is just the poets and painters who serve.Wu Junyi would feel that the literati were wronging the country, so he was particularly displeased with them.How much time did his father spend on reviewing papers every day, and how much time did he spend in the Hall of Martial Heroes?Even Prime Minister Jia had to tell and wait to see Emperor Jianning, but the servants of the Hall of Martial Arts could see the sky at any time!
Which courtier is not angry about this?
After all, this group of literati can neither help with government affairs, nor do practical work to produce and make money, so what's the use of supporting them?
Seeing that the memorial was sent from the prime minister's residence to the Qianqing Palace, and then sent back from the Qianqing Palace intact, Wu Junyi sometimes even felt that this country was not controlled by his father.It was Mr. Jia who advocated the peace negotiation at the beginning, and it was Mr. Jia who made the decision to move the capital...
Wu Junyi was aggressive outside the Hall of Martial Ying, and someone in the Hall of Martial Ying had already sent a message.It was the first time for the crown prince to visit the Hall of Martial Arts since he was enshrined, and the servant came out to greet him, "I have seen His Royal Highness the crown prince."
The teachings he had received in the past few months after returning to the palace finally played a role.Wu Junyi looked at the man with soft features, charming eyes, and natural obsequiousness, held back all the emotions in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "The paper in the lonely palace is used up, come and get some, and a copybook by the way .”
Of course the crown prince's expenses could not be short, Shi Shu immediately went to fetch two thick Chengxintang papers, and delivered them in person, as well as a copybook.
Li Qi took the paper and copybook, and asked the prince, "Your Highness, are you going back to the palace now?"
Wu Junyi originally just made up a perfunctory excuse, but when he saw the paper and thought of Shen Yu, his heart temporarily calmed down. "Go back to the palace."
He spread out the paper and swayed the pen and ink wantonly, venting the anger in his heart.
Copying "Great Learning" over and over again, he wrote words such as investigating things, extending knowledge, sincerity, rectifying one's heart, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world.
What is the use of classic articles?
What is the use of poetry, calligraphy and painting?
Wu Junyi kept writing until his wrist was sore, and then he heard Li Qi cautiously say: "Your Highness, it's time to eat."
Wu Junyi nodded indiscriminately, pushed aside a stack of papers, and took the little eunuch to Qianqing Palace as usual.Unexpectedly, Eunuch Gao was not at the door to greet him this time, only a young eunuch who watched him bowed to salute, and replied apologetically, "Your Majesty will stay in the Changchun Palace tonight."
Changchun Palace is one of the West Six Palaces, and it is now Wang Meiren's bedroom.
The feeling of being abandoned is so heavy, but this blow is enough to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.But after many days of depression, Wu Junyi strangely accepted everything calmly, and at the same time instantly understood the question he had been puzzled before:
Poetry, calligraphy and painting are useless, but they can please his father.
The scriptures and articles may not be useful, but these are the stepping stones to the official career, and it is also the only way to get the courtiers to recognize him as His Highness the Crown Prince before observing politics.
Wu Junyi simply turned around and returned to the palace, threw away the chic and wanton pen and ink, and re-copied "The Great Learning" twenty times.
If he copied too much, he would also think of when Shen Mu took the exam for Shen Yu when he went south. At that time, Shen Yu recited it wholeheartedly, and really enjoyed it.
When thinking of Shen Yu, the scenes that I deliberately avoided came to my eyes one after another: Shen Yu met him and took his dirty little hands; he couldn't eat raw meat, so Shen Yu gave him his steamed buns; Grandpa donated all his money to help people in the same village, with a pure smile on his face...
Wu Junyi let out a long sigh, put down his pen, and admitted that there are indeed more than just people who regard classics and articles as tools for getting into the world.
"Mr. Deng, what do you think of Lord Jia?"
For the first time, Wu Junyi still had the energy to go to Deng Xian's side to ask questions after half an hour of Zha Mabu and a hundred times of drawing the bow.
Deng Xian raised his eyebrows, and Wu Muhao beside him was also a little surprised.
"What does 'how to see' mean?" Deng Xian asked him slowly.
Wu Junyi asked very carefully, "I have heard that it was Prime Minister Jia who advocated peace negotiations..."
"Tch!" Before Wu Junyi could finish speaking, Deng Xian had already dropped the teacup and spewed out a short, mocking syllable. "Back then, Prime Minister Jia ordered his subordinates to impeach me to support myself, what do you think I would think of him?"
Wu Junyi's heart was full of turmoil, but his surface was not calm.He didn't have much contact with Jia Shengde.Jia Shengde is the prime minister and has a lot of affairs, so he seldom teaches him in person.But in a short contact, he could feel that this person is very good at talking, no matter when and where, he always smiles, and he doesn't look like he is in power at all.
He was the one who planned to drive Mr. Deng away...
Deng Xian didn't give him time to think, stood up and urged: "Don't be lazy! Since the mount is here, let's practice!"
After Emperor Jianning gave the order, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to send two foals.One is pure black and the other is bay red.The bay red horse is taller, obviously prepared for the King of Chu.
Wu Junyi walked to the side of the black horse.The foal snorted at him, shrank away, and continued to eat grass.
The whole body of this horse is as black as fine satin, only the hooves are white.
Daqi is still black, only the emperor and the prince can wear black robes.Wu Junyi looked at the pony, feeling close to him, grabbed a handful of hay, and fed it slowly.
The pony was very vigilant at first to avoid it, but Wu Junyi approached it patiently step by step. Finally, it neighed, and finally came forward to chew the hay in Wu Junyi's hand, and rubbed his palm after eating.
"Not bad." Deng Xian rarely said a word of praise. "On the battlefield, the mount is your most loyal partner, it is one with you. If you want to be able to chop and shoot arrows like walking on the ground, you must trust it as you trust your own legs!"
Wu Muhao also coaxed his little red horse to graze and let it lick his hand.
"From today onwards, you have to feed them, groom them yourself, and visit them every day." Deng Xian announced the unreasonable order, and Li Qi looked like he wanted to kill him head-on. "A horse raised in this way, even if it is hit by an arrow or its legs are crippled, it will not fall down until you order it to stop and take you to a safe place."
Wu Junyi nodded silently when he heard the last word.
It wasn't until the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that Wu Junyi finally met that beauty Wang.
She is indeed beautiful.This is Wu Junyi's first impression.To be able to attract an emperor who is full of beauties from all over the world, he naturally needs a good face.
And Wang Meiren has such a face, with willow leaf eyebrows, almond eyes with affection, petal-like lips, slim figure, and light movements.
Wu Junyi glanced at it twice, then lowered his gaze.He still feels that although beauty is beautiful, it is like a painting, which makes people see how beautiful it is at a glance, so he has no interest in further exploration.
But apparently his father didn't think so.
Since it was a family banquet, there were only two men, Emperor Jianning and Wu Junyi, so the concubine's table was not separated from them by a screen.Wu Junyi just ate with his head down.
After Emperor Jianning announced the opening of the banquet, the queen immediately announced the opening of the banquet.Unwilling to be lonely, the new concubines toasted Emperor Jianning one by one, but Emperor Jianning seemed to lack interest and seldom toasted in response.
Until Wang Meiren got up and read two lines of poems about the moon with a smile. "Jade is under the moon, and Luhuaxin was found in front of the palace. So far, it is not a matter of heaven, it should be thrown by Chang'e."
Her court lady came rushing over, holding a sweet-scented osmanthus in her hand.
Looking at Emperor Jianning's eyes that suddenly lit up, Wu Junyi realized that it was the reason Wang Meiren was so favored.
Emperor Jianning personally took the sweet-scented osmanthus in one hand, and drank it in one gulp, "It wasn't Chang'e throwing it to others, it was my fairy in the world."
Seeing the two people who were laughing, the queen frowned, but Concubine Xian was still as silent as a piece of wood, without any response.The rest of Baolin was envious and behaved differently.In Wu Junyi's mind, a thought that he had never had before spontaneously came to mind: his father, the emperor, was not on his side.
His father was sitting so close to him, but Ke Xin was no longer here.
Wu Junyi drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the cup, after the aroma, there was an inexplicable bitterness.He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and began to envy King Chu and Shen Yu who had a family reunion outside the palace.
