Chapter Twelve Finally Got Eyes On

Since I brought Li Xiangjun into the palace, I no longer care about things outside the palace. I devoted myself to learning a few books from Li Xiangjun, such as writing and reading, and asked her to read some books for me that I couldn't read by myself. I had a beautiful woman to read, and I felt that I learned very quickly, but it really happened that the saying goes, "Men and women are not tired of working."

Since I didn't even attend the morning court, there was a lot of controversy about the incident between Li Xiangjun and me. They all said that Li Xiangjun and I were having fun all day long and sang every night. Of course, I didn't know about this. I no longer paid attention to the dispute between Ma Shiying and others and the Donglin Party members such as Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan. They just mess around. I can't even control them now.

On the fifth day of Zhang Kai's departure, Li Xiangjun and I were practicing calligraphy in the imperial study room. To be honest, Li Xiangjun's calligraphy is definitely first-class and has a strong character. When the words I wrote were compared with hers, I couldn't bear to read them anymore. Fortunately, Li Xiangjun taught very seriously, and my calligraphy and understanding of traditional Chinese characters have also made great progress.

"What book is Xiangjun reading?" After I finished writing the 100 big words today, I saw Li Xiangjun reading a book intently, and couldn't help but ask. I was embarrassed about what I called Li Xiangjun first. According to my habits in later generations, I called her Xiangjun directly, and she didn't feel unhappy either.

"Look at **! The emperor will not chop my head, right?" Li Xiangjun smiled and didn't know how lethal his smile was. After spending a few days with the emperor, Li Xiangjun found that Emperor Hongguang was very different from the public, and the emperor uploaded it was useless. In Li Xiangjun's opinion, Emperor Hongguang was definitely an emperor who seeks progress. This can be seen from the questions the emperor asked her and his attitude towards others. Not only was he humble and polite, but he was not ashamed to ask, but the ancient wise king was just like this!

I was stunned, **? Could it be a pornographic novel? Later I realized that ** and pornographic novels are actually different. To say that pornographic novels are ** is really a high-profile text. At best, they are just unreasonable words. The so-called ** are books that are not allowed to be spread and circulated by the ruling class. My understanding is simply a thousand miles apart. "What are Xiangjun reading about **? Tell me."

Li Xiangjun smiled cunningly and playfully. After I said that she was guilty, she told me about the book in her hand. It turned out to be a book written by Li Zhi. However, it makes sense that this book was listed as **. Because Li Zhi slandered feudal rule and Confucianism in the book. He believed that Confucius and Zhu Zi's remarks were outdated and could not be used as the standard today. He said that feudal scholars and officials were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact they were full of thieves and prostitutes. He proposed that everyone was equal, men and women were equal, and advocated freedom of marriage. Although it sounded very ordinary to me and was easy to understand, this was a shocking remark at that time, which was unheard of!

"The person who wrote this book may have been cut off his head!" After listening to Li Xiangjun's explanation, I felt that such radical ideas would never end well in this era.

Sure enough, Li Xiangjun's face darkened, "Mr. Li has been dead for more than 40 years. The emperor said it is right. Mr. Li died in prison, but I think his remarks are very reasonable. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

Li Xiangjun and I often reveal some remarks from later generations when we get along. This is probably the basis for Li Xiangjun to dare to tell me these things! Otherwise, she would not dare to talk to a feudal emperor about the issue of equality for everyone and equality between men and women. "I think what he said makes sense, but it takes a long time to strive for the world he mentioned, and it takes thousands of years. No, that is not true equality! As long as there is human beings, there will be no equality. Equality in the absolute sense is delusion and will not be realized." My words lit up Li Xiangjun's eyes. She thought I would scold her a few words, but she didn't expect that I would actually agree with her explanation, which surprised her.

I didn't pay attention to Li Xiangjun, and read the book, "Xiangjun, are there any such crooked books? Find more for me. I didn't expect that the Chinese people's ideological progress is not behind, and I really didn't find it before!"

Li Xiangjun applauded, "There are many such books. I will find them for the emperor now, but they are all broken and have to go out of the palace. I hope the emperor will be grateful."

"Go! Just don't let people notice it. By the way, I heard that Xiangjun's instrumental music is very good. If you have time, play a song for me. I like the pipa song very much." I have a special liking for the sound of the pipa with big beads falling from the jade plate.

After Li Xiangjun left, I was practicing calligraphy alone. Now I was lazy to read the memorials. I wanted to give Ma Shiying and others a space to be active, so that they could be as domineering as possible. In this way, my reputation would also increase when I deal with them. For those very arrogant Donglin Party members, it would be better to let Ma Shiying and others kill them for me, so as not to be full of thorns when using them.

"Report to the Emperor, Lord Qian Qianyi, Minister of Rites, asked for a visit." Wang Bao's unique voice sounded outside. Seeing that the emperor was with Li Xiangjun all day, Wang Bao thought that the emperor was fascinated by Li Xiangjun.

Minister of Rites? Qian Qianyi? I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Ma Shiying is so amazing! He actually squeezed Gao Hongtu down. It seems that he was playing a trick of pretending to be a tiger. And I am the toothless tiger. "Let him come in! I'll see him, Minister of Rites."

Qian Qianyi's face was full of redness, and he could see that his expression was very good after being promoted. "My minister Qian Qianyi bowed to the emperor, long live the emperor." Qian Qianyi has experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, and this time he was promoted to the Minister of Rites was the highest position in his career. It would be strange if he was unhappy!

"Plain! Lord Qian should be very busy! I wonder what is important to see me when I enter the palace? Just look for Lord Ma!" Looking at Qian Qianyi, who was holding Ma Shiying's stinky feet in front of me, I despise him very much. Capriciousness is a taboo, don't he know it!

"Return to the emperor, Lord Ma suggested that an additional encore be tested at the end of June, mainly to select the Tai students of the Imperial College in Nanjing and promote some useful talents to serve the country. I have already recommended some talents among the Tai students, so please check it out." Qian Qianyi said as he took out the memorial and handed it to Wang Bao.

I took the memorial handed over by Wang Bao, "This proposal is good, and Lord Qian thought very thoughtfully." I opened the list of Qian Qianyi's recommendations. The situation of each student was introduced in detail, and even the name of his father and grandfather was written on it. When I saw Zheng Zhilong's name, my heart beat faster and I immediately stood up from the chair, "Qian Qianyi, who is this Zheng Sen? Then is Zheng Zhilong the General of Fujian?"
