The prince does not fight for the heir

It's not any kind of painting as expected!

It is not a landscape figure in ink and wash, nor is it a meticulous painting of flowers and birds. This is actually a very special portrait painting. There are only three tones of black, white and gray. If you look closely, it is full of thin and dense or sparse lines, but it constitutes an incomparably three-dimensional figure.

In the painting, Princess Zhiling's double-knotted palace dress is smiling and looking forward, which is almost the same as the real person, and there is a light in her eyes. If you look at it with the wrong eye, it seems that there is a feeling that the eyes of the characters are moving, as if the whole person is alive. up!
Chinese painting pays attention to the artistic conception, wishing that each painting can be matched with a poem to endow the painting with soul. This portrait has no artistic conception. It is intuitive and three-dimensional, so three-dimensional that it gives people the feeling as if they are looking at a black and white mirror.

The brothers and sisters who had never seen sketch portraits were stunned!
"I'll write a letter to Sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling finally put down the portrait and picked up the letter.

Yun Zuo took the opportunity to take away the portrait, put it in front of his eyes and admired it carefully, and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect such a painting technique in the world to be able to draw such an effect...Zhiling, can I ask you, sister Xuechen, to draw a few more pictures?" ? Give me a copy!"

Princess Zhiling just finished reading Fu Xuechen's very short letter at a glance, and she turned her eyes when she heard that, and said: "Yes! I will give Sister Xuechen a new painting in return, and then I can beg her to send me another painting like this Already!"

Just as Yun Zuo was about to thank you with a smile, he heard Princess Zhiling's "but": "It's just Sixth Brother, you want me to give you the painting as a gift, can't it be for nothing?"

"Okay! I'll exchange something with you, what do you want in exchange?" Yoon-joo asked with a smile.

Princess Zhiling immediately said: "I don't want your stuff, I just want you to do me one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Yunzuo was a little wary, but he didn't think Princess Zhiling could have any serious problems.

Princess Zhiling hastily rummaged through her bookcase, found a booklet, solemnly held it in front of Yunzuo with both hands, and said, "Sixth Brother, please help me hand this booklet to Father! Best, You can even talk to me!"

There are only a few princes who have left the palace to hand over paperwork to Emperor Yuan'an. Even the fourth prince, who is a legitimate son, only started to give paperwork this year. Hand out an invitation paper on the day, and a paper on business affairs every day?nonexistent!

Having had the experience of running errands before and after being given Qingwei, the current sixth prince, Yunzuo, can also deliver the zhezi to Emperor Yuan'an, and in Princess Zhiling's view, the sixth brother who is especially favored by the emperor will help deliver the zigzag. The success rate of that matter is much higher than that of her asking her father herself!

Handing out paperwork is not a joke, no matter how favored Yun Zuo is, he would not dare to hand out paperwork indiscriminately, so he immediately opened Zhiling's paperwork and read it carefully, and found that Zhiling's booklet was full of requests for one thing: to build a girls' school.

In order to get Emperor Yuan'an to agree to this matter, and to allocate special funds for the school's construction, Zhiling also listed in detail the various benefits of building a girls' school, as well as the step-by-step steps that seem to be extremely feasible. plan.

Yun Zuo read the excerpt twice, first he was shocked by the unprecedentedness of this idea, and then he couldn't believe that this idea could be thought up by Zhi Ling, a girl who is not yet ten years old.

He quickly saw the clue: "Didn't you write this script yourself?" Although he imitated Zhiling's tone.

Zhiling stuck out her tongue quietly: "The fourth brother wrote it for me."

really!This extremely detailed and dense style of storytelling can be seen as coming from the fourth brother!Yun Zuo complained secretly, and said puzzledly: "Since the fourth brother has come up with ideas for you and written the notes for you, why didn't you pass them on for you?"

"The idea is not from the fourth brother, but from sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling first corrected Yunzuo's cognition, and then explained: "The fourth brother was punished by the emperor just now, and he said that if he handed it over Zhezi, I'm afraid the emperor will disagree."

So you just want me to come up with this... Yoon Zuo understood what my sister meant, but he didn't dare to guarantee it: "I can help you with this favor and say a few words of kindness to you by the way, but can the father?" Agree, I don't know either."

Princess Zhiling was much more confident than him. Hearing this, she said happily, "Thank you Sixth Brother! If you help me, Emperor Father will probably agree! That's why I've been waiting for you to come back!"

When Sixth Brother handed over the brochure, Emperor Father will definitely respond soon, whether he agrees or disagrees, then he can write back and tell Sister Xuechen, I really hope Emperor Father can agree!Princess Zhiling was filled with joy and anticipation.

In the afternoon, the riding and archery class ended, and it was time for Gong Xue to finish school.

Yun Zuo was heading for Qianming Palace, while Fu Yuchen needed to leave the palace, and the two happened to be on the same road.

"Your sister gave Zhiling an idea to build a girls' school, did you know about this?" Yoon Zuo asked casually.

Um?Fu Yuchen was surprised: "Girls' school? What girls' school?"

Yoon Zuo understood, but Fu Yuchen didn't know about it, so he smiled and said no more: "If it doesn't work, it's useless to say it, if it happens, you will know it, and now you don't know if it will happen or not." , let’s not talk about it!”

Fu Yuchen was a little dizzy from being entangled, but he remembered that his sister gave the princess advice. He didn't know if it was some kind of moth, so he decided to go back and ask Fu Xuechen carefully, so that nothing happened again.

"Your Majesty! The Sixth Highness is asking to see you outside the door."

In Qianming Palace, Emperor Yuan'an, who had already descended from court, was sitting behind the imperial case as usual, reviewing the memorial. Hearing Zheng Ze's report, he said casually, "Let him in."

Zheng Ze had expected this a long time ago, and immediately nodded to the little eunuch guarding the gate of the hall, the little eunuch understood, and immediately let Yoon Zuo in.

"Your minister knocks on the emperor's father!" Yun Zuo first followed the etiquette.

Emperor Yuan'an put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and looked over with a smile: "I'm back! Not bad! You seem to be much more sensible!"

"Thank you for your father's cultivation! Fortunately, my son and minister did not disgrace his life, and the thousands of Qingwei soldiers have been successfully recruited and taken back to the barracks." Yun Zuo also showed a grateful and joyful smile.

Emperor Yuan'an asked him a few more questions about the recruitment of Qingwei, and Yun Zuo answered them one by one.

He did not slack off at all because of his status as a prince, leaving everything to others to do, nor did he dare not make his own decisions because he was underage, and was led by the nose by those local officials for many years, so regardless of Emperor Yuan'an He could answer any questions quickly without any omissions.

The more Emperor Yuan'an listened, the more he was satisfied. He looked at his son with surprise. Although this son is still young, he likes him in terms of appearance, temperament, and ability, but it is a pity that he is not a legitimate son.

Originally, the fourth son Yoon-jeong had good abilities, although he was cold and not very talkative...

The atmosphere between father and son was harmonious and the communication was good. Yun Zuo took the opportunity to take out Princess Zhiling's son from his bosom: "Father, my son met Zhiling when he came. Emperor Yulan!"

Zheng Ze hurriedly stepped forward to take the booklet from Yoon Zuo, and presented it to Emperor Yuan'an.

Emperor Yuan'an was quite surprised, he never thought that he could still receive the brochure from his youngest daughter on an ordinary day when he was not going to ask for an brochure, so he opened the brochure and read it with a little curiosity.

"Girls' school?" It was the first time Emperor Yuan'an heard this saying. In all dynasties, no one really thought of setting up such a school for girls to learn various life skills.

The key point is that the various benefits listed in the booklet, as well as the school's concept and regulations, are very reasonable and highly feasible, and the annual expenditure in the budget is not particularly high. Not to mention the national treasury, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs can Taking out this money to support such a girls' school, no one has tried before, does not mean that the empire cannot do it.

Emperor Yuan'an also saw something: "The idea you gave? Or the idea given by the fourth child?"

"Neither!" Yunzuo smiled slightly: "This idea was made by Fu Yuchen's twin sister, Fu Xuechen, on Zhiling's behalf. Only women who are closely related can think of these things."

Emperor Yuan'an nodded, and asked casually: "What do you think?"

Yun Zuo said calmly: "Father loves Zhiling, so he allowed Zhiling and his sons to study at Mingde Hall, but after all, Zhiling and sons are different from men and women. The knowledge taught by gentlemen is very important to Zhiling. , are not completely suitable, such as needlework, weaving and tailoring, and Zhiling's favorite painting and calligraphy rhythm, none of which are taught by Mingdetang."

"But if you want to set up another class, please ask another sir. Zhiling is lonely without sisters of the same age as companions. If the emperor is willing to increase the number of companions beside Zhiling for this purpose, why not be more generous and expand the school How about setting up a girls’ school with unified education for the benefit of their daughters, regardless of their civil or military ranks?”

"It's because I'm willing to beg Father for Zhiling, Father, why don't you grant Zhiling's wish!" Yun Zuo sincerely clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Emperor Yuan'an.

Emperor Yuan'an nodded, then shook his head again: "You guys! You only think about the benefits of building a girls' school, but have you ever thought that Zhiling is still a child, and neither the queen nor the imperial concubine or concubine Yi can go out of the palace at will? Has this girls' school been established? Who will be the sacrificial wine of this girls' school and sit in charge of the girls' school? There are no female officials in the court."

Yoon Zuo was startled, this is a problem.

Emperor Yuan'an continued: "Even if this girls' school is temporarily named under Zhiling's rule, and all kinds of female teachers have been found, how can such a school full of girls be well protected? Let the gangsters from outside have a chance to sneak in and ruin the reputation of a school girl? High walls may not be able to prevent criminals."

Yun Zuo's mind turned quickly, and he raised his head and said: "I feel that Qingwei can be responsible for the safety issue! The recruiters of Qingwei are all underage men, and the oldest one in Weizhong is under 15 years old. After the training, Erchen can assign them to take turns to guard and patrol inside and outside the high walls of the girls' school to protect the safety of the girls in the school."

Emperor Yuan'an was stunned by what he said, and I have to say that this incident was really a coincidence. He asked Yun Zuo to train a group of young people as the team for the future king and guard the border. As a result, the manpower has just been recruited, and the training has not yet started!Zhiling wanted to build a girls' school, and these underage guards immediately had new uses.

Speaking of which, letting these young guards under Yoon Zuo guard the girls' school is really more acceptable than letting normal adult guards protect the girls' school, and they also trained the young guards by the way, quite killing two birds with one stone!

Emperor Yuan'an felt sorry for Princess Zhiling, the youngest daughter, otherwise he would not have allowed her to go to Mingde Hall to study and learn calligraphy with a Confucian gentleman at the bachelor level. What should I do if I grow up in the future?
Originally, he thought that he would study for another two years so that Zhiling would not have to go to school anymore, but now Zhiling has a wonderful idea of ​​building a girls' school, which perfectly solves all his concerns. With the constraints of male and female defense, and many female classmates, we can learn some skills that girls must master together. The more I think about it, the more I feel, it is possible!

Emperor Yuan'an got up and walked around the hall for a few times, finally agreed to establish a girls' school for his youngest daughter: "Since you came to hand over the paperwork for Zhiling, I will leave it to you to take care of it! Brother is the name of the girls' school's sacrificial wine, and he will handle the matter of inviting female gentlemen, and you will be the secretary, responsible for the safety of the girls' school."

Si Ye is just Jijiu's assistant, not in charge of specific homework teaching, he is not regarded as a teacher, but seems to be a handyman, and Si Ye has to do whatever the Jijiu entrusts him to do.

But since Emperor Yuan'an said that the third prince, Yunzhi, should be named to offer sacrifices to wine, and Yunzuo would be responsible for all the specific matters, then the power of this secretary would be great, equivalent to the temporary position of offering sacrifices to wine, and he could take care of everything.

Yun Zuo didn't expect Emperor Yuan'an to give him so much power, so he was slightly taken aback before he was excited.

Emperor Yuan'an didn't think about the big deal of building a girls' school, and immediately asked Zheng Ze to draw up an order, agreeing to Zhiling's request, to establish a girls' school for the princess alone, and temporarily ordered the third prince Yunzhi to take the post of offering sacrifices to the girls' school. The prince Yoon Zuo was his deputy in charge of the industry. At the same time, he allocated 6000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fund the establishment of the school, and was responsible for site selection and supervision.

Emperor Yuan'an didn't care about the specific regulations, and he would follow the sons and daughters of Yunzuo and Zhiling to make a fuss on his own.

Because there is no need to use the treasury's treasury bank, it directly goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' account, so the establishment of the girls' school does not need to be discussed in the court, without going through the cabinet. Yoong-ji and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also receive the same orders one after another, and this matter can start.

Yun Zuo's work went smoothly, and he was in a particularly happy mood. After resigning, he came out briskly, and he met Zhi Ling who was looking forward to the direction of Qianming Palace before he walked too far.

"Sixth brother! How is it?" Seeing Yunzuo, Princess Zhiling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came up to him.

Yoon Zuo smiled at her and said, "You are lucky! Father agreed!"

"Father agreed so soon?!" Princess Zhiling was so happy that she almost jumped three feet high: "That's great! I knew it! I knew Sixth Brother that you're ready to go! Thank you, Sixth Brother! "

"I want to write a letter to tell Sister Xuechen the good news!"

Before Yoon Zuo could tell her the details, Zhi Ling happily ran away.

"..." Yun Zuo really wanted to tell her that Emperor Yuan'an was actually a very good father and loved her little daughter very much. In fact, she didn't need to entrust this to that, and handed over the papers by herself, and Emperor Yuan'an would probably agree. ,Pity!Zhiling was still a little afraid of facing her father alone, and the psychological fear of strangeness was not so easy to get rid of.
