Fortunately, the journey was far enough. It was not until Gao Jingshi summarized and analyzed the recent situation and what he had seen today in his mind that Chen Ju and a few young eunuchs led Gao Jingshi to Zhongcui Palace.
Zhongcui Palace is a building on Neiting East Road and is one of the so-called Six East Palaces. It is located to the west of Jingyang Palace and to the north of Qian Palace. It was built in the 18th year of Yongle and was called Xianyang Palace at that time. It was renamed Zhongcuigong in the 14th year of Jiajing.
The so-called Zhong Cui, that is, Zhong Cui, originally means to bring together the essence and essence.
Gao pragmatic followed Chen Ju into Zhongcui Palace and looked around - this place should be regarded as one of his main workplaces in the future, so of course he must understand it. Not only did he watch, but he also asked Chen Ju next to him for advice.
At this time, the benefits of being kind to others earlier were shown. Chen Ju told Gao Pangshi his understanding of Zhongcuigong in detail, for fear of missing something.
This Zhongcui Palace is a two-entry courtyard. Its main entrance faces south and is named Zhongcui Gate. The main hall in the front yard is Zhongcui Palace. It is five rooms wide, with a mountain-style roof of yellow glazed tiles, a front corridor, and an eaves ridge for animals. Five, under the eaves are single-warped, single-raised, five-legged brackets, painted in Suzhou style. The door is opened in the bright room, and there are sill windows between the second and the top. They are ice-cracked and step-by-step brocade doors and windows. The interior is completely Ming Dynasty, with a ceiling and square bricks on the floor. There is a plaque inscribed "Duan Shu Wen Liang" inscribed by Emperor Xuanzong hanging in the Ming room. There are three auxiliary halls in the east and west in front of the hall. There is a corridor in front of the hall, which is also open to the open door. It has a hard mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles, and Su-style colorful paintings under the eaves as before.
The main hall in the backyard also has five rooms. It also has open doors, a hard mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles, Su-style colorful paintings under the eaves, and additional wing rooms on both sides. There are three auxiliary halls in the east and west, all with open doors and yellow glazed tiles on the hard mountain-style roof. There is a well pavilion in the southwest corner of the courtyard. According to Chen Ju, the prince was ordered to study in the palace on weekdays, and he liked to go near the well pavilion when he was resting.
According to Chen Ju, Zhongcui Palace was originally the residence of concubines. It was only after Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne that it was temporarily changed to the Prince's Palace. In fact, it should be called the Prince's Farewell Palace. After all, the Prince's main palace is still there. Just didn't live there. But this is not a problem. Anyway, Long Qing only arranged this for Concubine Li to take care of her son.
Originally, Gao Jingshi thought that Zhongcui Palace was very good, but when Chen Ju introduced it, he always seemed a little regretful. Gao Jingshi couldn't help but didn't understand. After asking him, he found out that Chen Ju felt that Zhongcui Palace had wrong regulations and was not worthy of it. The prince lives.
Gao Pingshi was secretly amused, because Chen Ju actually regarded himself as someone close to the prince. Otherwise, if the regulations of the place where the prince lived were correct, the prince himself didn't speak, so why are you worried? Is it true that the emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is?
When Gao Pangshi was introduced into the main hall of the main courtyard, he saw Zhu Yijun already standing in the hall with a smile.
Zhu Yijun wore regular clothes today. Since the young crown prince of the Ming Dynasty had to shave off all his hair like ordinary children, he wore a six-petal round hat made of black and blue crepe, which is called a claw. Pull the hat too. He is wearing a red robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. There is a gold woven dragon embroidered on the front, back and shoulders. There is a jade belt tied around the waist. At his feet are a pair of soft brown deerskin boots.
Generally speaking, the dress was much more formal than when the two met for the first time. It seemed that the prince was summoning subordinate officials.
"Prince Weichen, who is studying with Gao Jingshi, has met His Highness. His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
A highly pragmatic new official took office with neither qualifications nor achievements, so naturally he could only meet him in person. Fortunately, Zhu Yijun may be imitating his father, and he was very polite as a corporal. Before Gao Pingshi could kneel down, he smiled and stepped forward to support him, saying: "Hey, there is no need to be polite, Gao Shidu, I..." After listening to His Majesty’s teachings, I know that you and I will become one from now on, just like Your Majesty and Mr. Gao.”
Judging from the strength felt on his arms, Zhu Yijun's support was not just a show, but a real support. Although Gao Jingshi felt that it was his first time to see the emperor after taking up his new job, so he should finish the ceremony. However, Zhu Yijun was so sincere that he could not forcefully refuse, so he had to stand up straight and tell him repeatedly. It is a crime to say that a humble minister cannot bear it.
Who would have thought that as soon as he stood up straight, Zhu Yijun's next sentence made him feel a little nervous, because Zhu Yijun patted his shoulder with a smile and said: "Gao Shidu, I don't even know how you usually read. How could you write such a vaunted Mongolian book as "Long Wen Whip Shadow"... I just asked my eldest friend, he said this morning, "Long Wen Whip Shadow" you just wrote last night is The news has spread throughout the capital, and many ministers and celebrities praise you for your knowledge, and sooner or later you will be as talented as Xie Jin and Yang Shen."
Gao Pingshi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously took a look at Zhu Yijun, but saw that his young round face was full of a satisfied smile. He really couldn't see any other meaning, so he couldn't help but feel relieved and sighed secretly.
Your Highness, don't you know that although both Xie Jin and Yang Shen are famous for their talents, what will happen to them? One was buried in the snow and froze to death, while the other died in the borderland.
What's more, the crimes these two were accused of are all related to "no courtesy". People now call me another prodigy after Xie Jin and Yang Shen. I'm afraid there is already a murderous intention hidden in it, implying that I will fight. With the power of the third uncle, there is "no one to be courteous"!
Otherwise, why not say that I am another Li Dongyang? I am an extremely popular scholar with the posthumous title "Wenzheng" who pursues the Grand Master fiercely. If I really want to praise me, shouldn't I compare myself to him and drag out these two unlucky guys, Xie Jin and Yang Shen?
But of course it’s hard to say this clearly, otherwise if he says “My role model is Li Dongyang!”, the outside world will definitely say: “Look, look, this kid is only a few years old, but he only wants to be a high official!” They actually look down on people like Xie Jin and Yang Shen who are noble and talented, and they cannot be taught by children."
If the yellow mud falls on the crotch, it will be shit.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic had to pretend to be humble, saying nonsense like that the ministers were stupid, had little talent and little knowledge, how could they dare to compare with these seniors, and really did not dare to compete.
Zhu Yijun looked at him with a smile and looked at his modesty. After he finished speaking, he said: "Don't be so humble. Now your name is not only loud outside, but also in the palace! Needless to say, the father and mother are also the queen. I know your name, and I ordered a copy of "Longwen Whip Shadow" early this morning. I went to read it. After reading it, I was very impressed. When my mother-in-law and I went to visit her, she even told her mother-in-law, "Waiting for you." Here you go, go see her when you have time."
Huh? Is there such a thing? It seems that being young has its advantages. If he becomes a senior minister of the foreign court, how can the queen summon him casually?
At this moment, Feng Bao's voice came from outside: "Master, I heard that Gao Shidu is here?"
Gao Pangshi and Zhu Yijun turned around and saw that Feng Bao had trotted in in a hurry?
As soon as he came in, he casually raised his hand to Zhu Yijun and said: "Prince, the imperial concubine has summoned Gao Shidu, and also invited me to go with her."
