After Qi Tai left the yamen today, he did not have to go to the Ministry of War for the time being to pay the price.He received the imperial edict to supervise the transportation of food and wages from various provinces and was scheduled to leave Beijing three days later.
The imperial edict is placed on a table in the bedroom.The old slave entered and served Qi Tai and took off his official uniform and brought a silk robe.
Everything is complicated and Qi Tai is worried about a lot. Today he always feels very impetuous.
He was very clear about the emperor's general's northern expedition to Mongolia this year. The Mongolian tribes should not be the most important goal, and gradually reducing the vassals is the emperor's intention!
Perhaps the reduction of the vassal states during the Jianwen period, causing years of war and major failure, put a shadow in Qi Tai's heart. He has been worried about this recently and is always worried about something.
If I don't wear this outfit, I remember that I also had a brown cotton straight robe.Qi Tai suddenly spoke.
The slave hurriedly said: I'll come to find you.
After a while, Qi Tai changed his clothes, wore a square scarf on his head and a cotton robe on his body.He went to the study to get a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean" and went out in a carriage.
The inner city of the capital was very lively. After the new emperor ascended the throne for a period of time, everything gradually returned to normal.
Qi Tai took a bus from north to south, crossed the Dazhong Bridge on the Jinshui River, and the Gongyuan and the Fuxue were not far away.
The carriage did not go to those places, nor did it go to the Qinhuai River to the south, but continued to travel westward.
After passing Dagongfang, I walked a short walk to Sanshan Street and saw a dense low and old house.
Between the Qinhuai River and the Jinshui River, there are many wine shops, which is a prosperous area.
But nearby is a messy place with dilapidated streets and old houses.
Because of this, food and accommodation here are the cheapest; when Qi Tai went to Beijing to take the exam, he found half of the capital and found this good place.
Qi Tai calculated with his fingers that more than 20 years have passed, but he didn't expect that this place will still be the case.Even the inn he stayed in was the same as before.
The shops and vendors on both sides of the streets are busy, and they have been like this for more than 20 years.Qi Tai felt that if people were not forced into big things, people would never seem to change.
The room I used to live in was already there.Qi Tai gave three times the room money and asked the customer to change it.
A broken wooden window in the house faces the street, which is very noisy during the day.
Qi Tai sat in front of the bed for a long time, and admired himself a little bit back then. He was still able to concentrate on studying in such a noisy place, and that year he became a high school Jinshi!
Qi Tai recalled his original state of mind. At that time, he was young and energetic. His usual days were a little embarrassed and he had to calculate everything carefully. But his heart was filled with pride, and he always had a kind of courage to take the world as his responsibility.
After thinking for a while, he took out the Doctrine of the Mean from his arms.
Qi Tai eliminated distracting thoughts by the window. Amid all the noises, he read aloud without distraction: Destiny is called nature, straightforwardness is called Tao, and practicing Tao is called teaching.The Tao cannot be separated in a moment; it is not the Tao.Therefore, a gentleman is cautious about what he doesn't see and fear what he doesn't hear...
I don't know how long it took, but Qi Tai suddenly heard a song coming, and the song was completely different from the one he read.
When he heard it, he heard a woman's voice singing: The pretty enemy pulled the slave outside the window, bit the slave's cheeks and untie the fragrant ribbon with both hands.I'm waiting for a while, I'm afraid that someone will come, and there will be no one in a while. I'll let you untie the belt...
There was a noise outside the door, and many people were still shouting loudly.
Qi Tai was stunned, but he immediately stopped studying, opened the door and walked out.He followed the song and came to the lobby on the dilapidated wooden building.
I saw an old man sitting by the wall, playing the sanqin skillfully; in front of him was a young girl in a floral dress, singing a song with a red face.
There were several square wooden tables and many benches in the lobby. The guests who drank tea and ate all looked at the little girl with great enthusiasm and listened to her singing.
Another man shouted: Today, this little girl is young and handsome. We want to untie your belt. How much does it cost?
Everyone was in the mood, but the little girl stopped.
Because Qi Tai had walked up to her at some point, Qi Tai stared at the little girl, and his expression was a little dazed; even the vulgar laughter around him became hazy, and various voices seemed to be passing through the depths of the distant time.
Like... Qi Tai said a little absent-mindedly.
The little girl bent her knees and said: Have you disturbed me from studying?
Qi Tai shook his head.
At this time, someone shouted: I'm afraid this old man is untied.Look at that dress, it is the one who is very comfortable at hand.
Qi Tai reached out and touched his face, and suddenly said: Am I old?
The little girl blushed and said shyly: Mr. is in his prime and not old.
Qi Tai finally came to his senses and glanced at the old man sitting in the corner of the wall. He looked back and found that there was a table sitting at a table that was not making any noise, and his temperament was different from other guests.
How can I repay the great kindness of the emperor?Qi Tai immediately moved.
The guests who were clamoring and making noise became a little quieter. Many people looked at Qi Tai with strange eyes, and some people whispered: Is this an official?
What does sir mean? The little girl said confused.
Qi Tai glanced around and said to the little girl: Follow me into the house and said.
The little girl followed Qi Tai obediently.People were looking at them, but no one started to make fun of them again at this time.
When she returned to the guest room, the little girl glanced at the book on the stool and said softly: Are you really a scholar?
Who are you?Who asked you to come?Qi Tai asked back.
Xiao Niang said: I am from Yangzhou Prefecture, my surname is Yang.Not long ago, a matchmaker came to my family and met my family.When the matchmaker came back the second time, he brought a lot of property Tian Qi to his parents and said that the wealthy families with the surname Qi in the capital wanted to take slaves as concubines.He also said that although the master is middle-aged, he is a well-educated scholar.
When I arrived at the capital, someone taught me to sing the shameful song and brought it here to sing.It is said that the host will come to meet him...
Is there a third-ranked person in your family who was taken to the capital by his fellow villager more than 20 years ago and has never returned to his hometown since then?Qi Tai asked.
The little lady nodded and said: That is my third aunt.
Qi Tai suddenly said: No wonder he looks quite similar.
The little girl asked curiously: Does the master know my third aunt?
It's a long story to tell.Qi Tai nodded.After he said that, he sat down on a wooden bench, pondering and saying no more.
After a long time, the little lady asked timidly: Those betrothal gifts are really given to my parents... Do you still want me?
Yes, of course!Qi Tai raised his head and said without hesitation, "I dare not want the one who has paid such great rewards to me?"
Master?The little girl looked confused.
Qi Tai picked up his book and said: Do you have a name?Let me go home with me first, and I have to go to the palace while it is still early today.
Yunniang, when her mother was born in my slave family, she ate rapeseed at noon and gave her the name of this boudoir.Xiao Niang said, Master Wang, who was playing the piano outside, taught me to sing music, wouldn’t he ask him to go with me?
Qi Tai said: Don’t worry about him, he should be from the Jiaofangsi, he will go back to the yamen by himself.
Yunniang followed Qi Tai to the door and asked: Is sir an official?
Qi Tai nodded.
Yunniang asked again: What a great official?The adults said that if you can enter the palace, should you compare with the magistrate of our county?
Qi Tai said: It should be bigger.
Qi Tai took Yunniang back to the mansion by carriage.
When Yunniang saw the huge courtyards and pavilions, her expression changed for a moment and she didn't dare to say a word.
Qi Tai didn't care about her for the time being, so he just asked the servants in the mansion to settle her.
He hurriedly changed into a red round collar robe and took his entourage to the imperial city.
The emperor was in the Rouyi Hall in the afternoon.
Originally, when you enter the palace on weekdays, military generals go to Xihuamen and civil servants go to Donghuamen.But Qi Tai was taken to Xihuamen into the palace because it was very close to Rouyi Hall.
Before Qi Tai and the other two entered the hall, there were only two people inside, one was Emperor Zhu Gaoxu and the other was Chen, the queen of Annan.
Qibutang is here.Zhu Gaoxu greeted him first.
I bow to the Lord, long live the Lord!Qi Tai knelt down and bowed.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I'm fine.Come and sit at the table.
I thank the emperor for giving him a seat.After saying that, Qi Tai got up, walked to the opposite side of the big table, and sat on a mahogany-waisted round stool.He was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't say anything for a moment.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice: I don’t have to use Zhang Xin.However, that day Chen Yan impeached Zhang Xin, and Qibutang also heard what Duke Qi said; Duke Qi meant that Zhang Xin had made contributions to the "Jingnan" and asked me to remember the merits.
Now the heroes of Jingnan are also my ministers, and I must ignore them completely.Besides, when it comes to those places Nuer works, ordinary generals really don’t want to go.Letting Zhang Xin go to Nuer to be the commander of the capital is also a serious punishment.I think he can't be moved for the time being; what to do in the future depends on his performance in Nuer.
Qi Tai nodded and said: The emperor is considerate, how can I ignore the overall situation because of my personal grudges?Chen Yan impeached Zhang Xin, but I never participated. Please check it out!
Qibutang said no, then there must be no.I believe you, and I don't need to check it again.Zhu Gaoxu said in his voice.
Qi Tai sighed and said: I don’t want to take revenge, I just used to it for many years and occasionally miss the past.
What Qibutang said seriously?Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile and pretended to be relaxed.
Qi Tai nodded: The past has passed, and no matter how hard it is, I can't find those time and people.For useless things, why should I abolish the public for personal gain?I am really guilty of distracting the emperor!
Zhu Gaoxu said: I hope the Qi tribe can untie the knot as soon as possible.I have taught the queen a small song... How about asking the queen to sing a song?
Chen said: I will follow the order.
She cleared her voice, said, "I thought it was ugly, and started singing."
Under the lonely lamp, I was sitting in the cabin alone.I, Du Shiniang, were waiting for my husband in the cabin.Suddenly, I heard someone called Du Shiniang outside the window.I held the window railing with my hands and looked around, why didn’t I see my husband?
This little tune is strange, and Qi Tai doesn't know the name of the song, so he only listens to the lyrics.
In this magnificent palace, a vulgar song was sung in the beautiful voice of Chen, and Qi Tai and Zhu Gaoxu both turned around and admired it with concentration.
Although it is a bit unfamiliar, Qi Tai remembers what Zhu Gaoxu said: The Ming Dynasty is not a barbarian country. We must not only have a strong pursuit of hegemony, but also have a prosperous culture, which is what makes the world admire and yearn for.
Perhaps the emperor thinks that vulgar music is just a culture.
Qi Tai understood the lyrics and sighed secretly, saying to himself: The Master is really good at heart, and uses this song to signal him to understand my heart; the Master values me very much, how can I only care about myself?
The imperial edict is placed on a table in the bedroom.The old slave entered and served Qi Tai and took off his official uniform and brought a silk robe.
Everything is complicated and Qi Tai is worried about a lot. Today he always feels very impetuous.
