Yin Zhaoxian, as a minister, was naturally very pleased that Emperor Hongwu showed such magnanimity. But if it were anyone else, the emperor would have ordered him to meet the Holy Emperor no matter what, but now the target was Ji Yuan.
To be honest, in Yin Zhaoxian’s heart, the latter’s subjective intention is more important than Ji Yuan’s subjective intention.
To put it bluntly, who is Mr. Ji? In fact, there is no need to care too much about an emperor’s face.
But Yin Zhaoxian thought that based on his understanding of Ji Yuan, asking Ji Yuan as a friend was a favor to meet Emperor Hongwu. Ji Yuan was definitely willing, but the problem was that Yin Zhaoxian didn’t want to do it, so he hesitated. After a little effort, he still said to Emperor Hongwu.
“It is rare that your Majesty is willing to meet a commoner. This is naturally an honor for Yin’s friend. I also feel your Majesty’s magnanimity, but… Mr. Ji is rather weird. Otherwise, I will teach him some basic etiquette later. After all, etiquette cannot be discarded, lest you really bump into the holy driver…”
After hearing this, Emperor Hongwu became even more curious. What could have happened to Prime Minister Yin? Is his friend so shameless?
If it had been someone else, Hongwu Emperor Yang Hao might have felt that he was jealous of his talents, fearing that his friend would steal his limelight, or that his friend might even be a bad person, but with Yin Zhaoxian in front of him, that was absolutely impossible.
Emperor Hongwu actually had a little secret that he had never told anyone, not even his extremely close concubines like the Queen and Concubine De, which was that he actually had two strange dreams before and after he ascended the throne.
The first dream was about his father, the late Emperor Yuan De.
This dream is relatively simple. Emperor Yuande had just passed away at that time, and the dream was before the funeral.
At that time, Yang Hao was in a state of excitement and sadness all day long. Even this sadness was not entirely occupied by his father, but a considerable part was taken away by the death of his mentor.
The content of the dream was that Yang Hao was sleeping in bed, and then he was pushed awake. When he woke up, he saw his father sitting beside the bed. Although he couldn’t remember that his father was dead, his father was watching from his bedroom. He still made Yang Hao slightly panicked and wanted to get out of bed to say hello.
However, Emperor Yuande’s attitude at that time was very different from previous impressions. He seemed a little unbelievably kind. He just said a few words to him briefly and said that he was leaving and going to a far away place. After taking care of Dazhen’s family for a while, he asked Yin Zhaoxian more when something happened, and asked him not to forget what he said on the bedside.
As soon as Emperor Yuan De left, Yang Hao walked over from the bed. It was just dawn, and when Emperor Yuan De was on his deathbed, he asked him to make sure not to let Yin Zhaoxian be killed by a traitor. His last words were naturally remembered.
The second dream was that when he was a child, after leaving Hongwen Hall, he worshiped Li Mushu as his young master, and had a mentor who was caring and far-sighted for him.
That day in Li Mu Shu’s study room, Yang Hao, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, was reading. Li Mu Shu was listening with his eyes closed, and from time to time he pointed out the key points of some parts of the book with one hand. He has been taking pictures of a stack of books on the corner of Yang Hao’s desk.
While reading a paragraph about what a king should do, Li Mu Shu, who closed his eyes, suddenly interrupted him and approached Yang Haodao.
“Your Highness, I am getting old, and I will leave you one day, either from intrigues or from old age and illness. But Your Highness, you still have a long way to go, and you will definitely be there in the future. Ascending the throne as an emperor holds a great treasure!”
“Teacher, I also think I can become an emperor, that’s how I feel.”
Yang Hao smiled and answered the teacher.
The strange thing about the dream is that Yang Hao almost forgot about becoming the emperor, as if he was still the same boy as before, but even so, he still had a clear vision and a strong premonition of ascending to the throne.
Li Mu Shu nodded and removed his right hand that had been pressing on a stack of books.
“Your Highness, the author of these books is a great talent and sage that has never been seen since the founding of Dazhen. In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne and becomes emperor, although I may not be able to see it, I must let him witness it. This person He is loyal to the country and all the people in the world, and his aura of glory is admired by ghosts and gods! ”
Li Mu Shu pushed a stack of books in front of young Yang Hao, including “The Theory of Birds”, “The Theory of Knowledge” and other books.
“Read these books carefully and read more in the future. I want to go back!”
“I understand, teacher!”
The young man Yang Hao nodded in agreement. When he opened the book, he suddenly had an “inspiration” and thought that he was in the study room of the teacher’s home. Where was the teacher going?
When I looked up, I saw something hazy outside the study door. There was a dark figure standing there. The teacher bowed his hands to it before going out and leaving.
Then Yang Hao woke up. When he woke up from this dream, he could remember every bit of it clearly. It was probably a dream entrusted to him by his late mentor.
These two dreams made Yang Hao, who already valued Yin Zhaoxian very much, care more about the Yin family. Therefore, even though Yin Zhaoxian was already very aware of the trust of the current emperor in him, in fact, Yang Hao Hao’s trust in Yin Zhaoxian is deeper than Yin Zhaoxian himself thought.
……
Yin Qing led Princess Changping beyond the living room and walked along the corridor to the garden. Yin Qing had always been good at talking. Even though the princess was in front of him now, and even though the emperor came with a special intention, he was still not too nervous.
“Your Highness, let’s walk around the corridor, then go through the two gardens to see the scenery, and then go to the dining hall to wait. Our Yin Mansion is not as good as the Imperial Palace, so there is nothing to see if you just stroll around. If I go back too early, both the Holy Father and my father will probably blame me.”
Princess Changping looked at Yin Qing.
“Master Yin, don’t you like to go shopping with me?”
Yin Qing explained quickly.
“Of course not, but the Lord and my father probably meant that we should be alone for a while. It’s freezing outside, but my mother figured it out. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable for us to sit and chat in front of the stove in the dining hall? ? Or even get something delicious to eat in the kitchen. ”
Princess Chang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed. She actually didn’t like Yin Qing, and although she didn’t hate him either, she was still a stranger to him after all.
It’s just that a woman to be married has so many affairs that she can’t help herself. What’s more, she is in the royal family. Even if she is favored by her father, she still cannot make the final decisions in her life.
Fortunately, although Yin Qing is far inferior to Prime Minister Yin, he still has some talents. At least Princess Changping has seen Yin Qing’s paintings, and her painting skills are indeed very good.
“Then listen to Minister Yin, let’s go to the dining hall for a casual stroll, but I also want to see the study room of the Yin Mansion, which is said to be the most civilized place in the world.”
“Okay, Yin will be satisfied with these requests. Your Highness, please come here.”
Yin Qing invited Princess Changping very gracefully and took Princess Changping to visit the Yin Mansion. The main purpose was to visit the garden and see Princess Changping’s curious study.
There are several study rooms in the Yin Mansion. Yin Qing and Yin Zhaoxian each have a separate room. It is impossible for Yin Qing to take Princess Changping to Yin Zhaoxian’s study room, but it is still possible to show her his own.
As soon as she entered Yin Qing’s study, Princess Changping was in a trance.
The interior is filled with portraits, including villagers’ customs, mountains and rivers, small courtyards with canopy and big trees, and animals such as yellow dogs and foxes. Some are writing with pens and are somewhat similar to Yin Xiang. literati, and even hazy immortals who traveled on the wind.
Each painting is lifelike and more outstanding than those exposed outside. Princess Changping can feel the unique artistic conception from each painting.
Looking at the bookshelves and desks in the study room, they are piled with books. There are many open books on several desks, and the pages are full of circled annotations, showing the owner’s dedication to reading.
After Princess Changping asked Yin Qing’s opinion, she picked up a book to see what Yin Qing had annotated. What she saw was not just an ordinary scholar’s interpretation of meaning, but there were extensions and pimples in it, but she preferred something like this. Just grasp the key points and expose the essence of the book content in front of the screen.
Books, paintings, unfinished paintings, unfinished articles… all of this should make the study cluttered, but instead it brings with it a peculiar sense of orderliness, unique to the faint fragrance of ink. flavor.
Princess Changping is also a smart and knowledgeable woman, and she can’t help but feel some ripples in her heart.
‘This is not like what many people say, the rise of power under the shadow of the father…’
Princess Changping looked to one side at Yin Qing who was finally a little embarrassed.
“Shilang Yin, your painting skills are so good, why don’t you paint a portrait for me sometime?”
“The princess has her orders, and Yin Qing should obey them. Well, it took longer than expected to see the study. Now there is no need to go to the dining hall in advance. Your Highness, we really should go there, otherwise we will miss the meal. .”
“Yes, yes, I know!”
Princess Chang Ping returned the direction and angle of the book in her hand to its original position, then stood up with a smile.
The two of them took another route to the dining hall and passed far past the guest house where Ji Yuan was. While Princess Changping was looking around, she saw a man in a white shirt in the courtyard of the guest house. Sitting in front of the stone table playing with the chessboard, he asked Yin Qing, who was already familiar with him.
“Shilang Yin, who is that person? He doesn’t look like a servant of your house.”
Yin Qing looked at Ji Yuan’s profile and explained while walking with the princess.
“This one is an elder from my hometown. He rarely comes to the capital as a guest. He is staying at my house for a while. He prefers peace and quiet, so we won’t disturb him.”
“Yeah!”
When the two of them passed by, their thoughts about looking for Shuyuanｗｗｗｗｈｏｏｎｎｎ.com were actually no longer on the chessboard. They were just showing off with the chess pieces. The same was true for a fox squatting under the table. , and a paper crane falling on Ji Yuan’s shoulder. Of course, the “Sword Intention Tie” was not taken out, otherwise it would be more lively.
Hu Yun looked into the distance with a curious look on his face.
“Mr. Ji, who is the woman next to Yin Qing?”
“It should be a princess. Looking at the way he leads her for a stroll alone, the emperor’s purpose of coming to the Yin Mansion is worth pondering.”
Hu Yun was stunned for a moment and looked up at Ji Yuan.
“Is this woman going to be Yin Qing’s wife?”
After saying this, Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked down at the fox.
“You, a fox practicing in the mountains, know so much?”
