Chapter 35 The emperor’s grandson is ill
Soon He Xi assigned this topic.
See the announcement posted on the blackboard of Mingjiantang. The students were talking about it for a while. Don't understand his argument.
Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining came over, and many students got out of the way. After all, the two of them are considered to be the best in Mingjiantang in terms of knowledge and character. So he naturally became a student leader. Of course, it's only from the Imperial College Jiansheng side. As for the noble disciples, they are headed by Li Jinglong.
When these people saw the two of them coming over, they said, "Brother Huang, Brother Xu, you are here just in time. What does Master He mean?"
Huang Zicheng looked at the notice above and was a little confused for a moment. There seems to be some understanding again. After discussing with each other for a while, Huang Zicheng said, "Everyone, let's do this. How about I go ask Mr. Liu?"
Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining are both from Jiangxi.
The Manchu Dynasty and half of Jiangxi in the Ming Dynasty began in the Hongwu period.
Liu Song was an upright official and his family had no money left. But he likes to support his younger generation, and he is relatively close to his fellow Jiangxi fellows among the younger generation. Jiangxi students are also willing to come. This situation had already started before He Xi came to the Imperial College.
"I'll go too." Li Jinglong said, "Brother Huang, don't mind joining me."
Although the Imperial College students all hate these distinguished students, few of them dare to show it. The reason is very simple. Each of these distinguished students is not good at studying, but their family background is better than the other. After all, the Imperial College students are not elementary school students. . People who are sophisticated will naturally understand, and at most keep a respectful distance, but not to the point of showing anything off.
Li Jinglong is the future Duke Cao, and Huang Zicheng has to give him face.
So Li Jinglong, Huang Zicheng, and Lian Zining went to Liu Song's residence together.
Liu Song naturally informed them of He Xi's intention and said: "I think this is also an opportunity. If someone's article is particularly good, it will be used by His Majesty. If His Majesty remembers a name, then It’s just that Jane is in the emperor’s heart.”
"This opportunity cannot be missed."
The three of them were collectively called yes.
Liu Song asked: "What problem do you have? Can you mention it now and let me see if I can solve it?"
Lian Zining said: "Master Liu, there's nothing else. It's just that Mingjiantang and even the Imperial College don't have enough books."
Huang Zicheng said: "Yes, when studying the history of Northern Xinjiang, there are not many ancient documents. Official history alone is obviously not enough. In particular, there are many Mobei documents from the previous dynasties, which are particularly useful. However, Mingjiantang does not have them now. Don't explain that Jiantang does not have them. , I’m afraid not even the Imperial College.”
Liu Song pondered for a moment and said: "I will give you a handwritten letter. You can go to Wei Mansion to borrow books. You can probably borrow some. Unfortunately, most of them are in Mongolian."
The Wei Mansion Liu Song mentioned was actually the Wei Su Mansion, and Wei Su was also a legendary figure. He was a surrendered minister of the former Yuan Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, he participated in the compilation of the histories of Liao, Jin, and Song. After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, he also participated in compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty. Among the twenty-four histories, he participated in the compilation of four. It is also rare in history.
Although Wei Su is gone, his descendants are still there. Wei Su brought a large amount of archival materials from the Yuan Dynasty, which he used when compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty and still has them at home.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wei Su is from Jiangxi.
Liu Song's face is useful.
"Thank you Master Liu." Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng said in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, Li Jinglong said: "Actually, I also have these things at home."
Liu Song, Lian Zining, and Huang Zicheng all looked at Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong raised his head slightly and said: "My father has always been on war, and wherever he went, he collected books according to the Holy Ming. There are many copies at home. Among all the noble families, except for those in the Duke of Wei, my family probably has the most. In addition, There are also Mongolians in my family, many of whom have been to the grasslands. They are proficient in Mongolian writing."
The reason why Li Jinglong showed off like this was because he felt aggrieved in Mingjiantang.
Not that anyone was targeting him.
Obviously, no one dares to target the future Duke Cao. However, in all kinds of academic studies, Li Jinglong is below the average, or even at the bottom of the class. This situation made Li Jinglong, who was surrounded by endless light everywhere, very uncomfortable.
Li Jinglong had no sense of existence at all.
Li Jinglong had to come here today just to show his presence.
------
In fact, it was not that He Xi had not thought of this. He had already ordered someone to build a library in Mingjiantang. We are also preparing to transfer a large number of books from the University, Hanlin Academy, and other aspects.
It's just that books are precious things in this era, not to mention that many books are only single copies or even handwritten copies. Therefore, when it comes to book collection, He Xi often needs to coordinate in person.
Only then did He Xi discover why Yongle Dadian and Sikuquanshu were so troublesome to compile. I want to find useful materials from the vast amount of literature. This is a big problem in itself. Of course, the organization and arrangement of these materials is a university question in itself.
That is bibliography.
But when He Xi was busy, someone suddenly came to report. Let him go to the East Palace immediately.
He Xi didn't know what was going on and immediately came to the East Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt an inexplicable pressure in the air. Moreover, the direction the eunuch led the way was not to the main hall of the East Palace, but to the harem.
He Xi's heart skipped a beat. I immediately felt something was wrong.
It's not that he has never been to the East Palace, but he has always been in the front hall and has almost never been to the harem. Even if he is the prince's sister-in-law, the harem is not a place where he can come whenever he wants. He didn't believe that the prince would set a trap to harm him. Then there is only one thing.
Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's eldest grandson, was ill.
In fact, in response to Zhu Xiongying's death in history, he also paid special attention to Zhu Xiongying's health. However, children's illnesses are usually urgent and dangerous, and they could not be seen at all before. Zhu Xiongying was active and active before, and he didn't seem to have any illness.
He didn't care anymore.
Now he was called over in such a hurry. There is only one thing.
Before He Xi arrived in the yard, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice said in a very high pitched voice: "I have given you three orders and ten thousand orders to keep an eye on Xiongying. How did you become a father?"
After hearing this, He Xi hurriedly took a few steps, only to see the prince kneeling on the ground. Lying on the bed was a small person, the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying. Next to them are Queen Ma and his wife Princess Anqing. There were several women he didn't know. He Xi's heart moved and she thought to herself, "They are probably the wives and concubines of the prince headed by Mrs. Lu."
It's pitiful to say that the crown prince's main concubine, Mrs. Chang, is Chang Yuchun's daughter. The biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson passed away in the eleventh year of Hongwu.
The child fell into the hands of the stepmother.
He Xi also understood at this moment that why Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded Zhu Biao so much was because he was actually suspicious that Zhu Xiongying had suddenly become ill to this extent. There is a reason. The reason lies in Zhu Biao's backyard. Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the emperor's grandson is not more important than the queen. But it's not that the emperor's grandson is not important at all.
He made repeated orders, and in spring and autumn, there were many winds and colds. Take good care of it. Still sick. Still trying to hide it. But there is nothing in the palace that can be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang.
With all these things, it is difficult for the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang to think that there is no inside story.
But even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to handle this kind of thing. It was difficult to find out what happened in the palace. And even if it can be found out, so what? Lu is also Zhu Yunwen's mother. It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang still values Zhu Yunwen now. In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Zhu Yunwen had lost his right to inherit the Ming Dynasty.
Although things in the future can be changed. But in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that Zhu Yunwen was ominous. But even if Zhu Yunwen is no longer the emperor, he is still his grandson. Because of his speculation, if he kills her mother, how will the child deal with it in the future? Wouldn't it be the root cause of brotherly fratricide?
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became extremely angry and turned his anger on the prince. He felt that the prince was so soft-hearted that he couldn't even control his own backyard.
Hence the current scene.
But for the prince, he was also very unjust, okay? I won’t say what other princes are like, but the prince of the Ming Dynasty is the deputy king of the country. He is busy with affairs and is not much easier than Zhu Yuanzhang. How can he care about the inner court?
