The existing books only record that Bo Yikao died at the hands of King Zhou. As for being eaten, it is probably a fabrication.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. King Wen of Zhou was able to succeed because of his outstanding abilities. At least he was able to win over talented people." Ying Zheng said calmly.
"It's only because of those Confucian scholars that he created the momentum, otherwise he wouldn't have the reputation he has now." Speaking of Confucian scholars, Ying Zheng had obvious disgust on his face, and he thought of the fact that Chunyu Yue and others wanted him to divide the world into fiefdoms.
Zhao Qingrui strongly agreed with this point. Throughout the ages, countless people have taken it as their mission to restore the Zhou rituals.
Due to the long time and incomplete documents, people may not know much about King Wen of Zhou, and the Zhou rituals may not be perfect.
However, as a yearning for a clear and bright ruler and a clear and bright system, the meaning is positive. In an abstract sense, King Wen of Zhou has influenced Chinese history for more than two thousand years.
In order to link morality with politics, later Confucians promoted King Wen as a model of "inner sage and outer king", and his influence became increasingly greater.
Confucius particularly admired King Wen, and he dreamed of restoring the Zhou rituals, which were "rich in culture and elegant in manners."
When it comes to teaching Zhao Qingrui the ways of being a king, Ying Zheng has always been very attentive. He carefully analyzed for her the reasons for the decline of the Shang Dynasty and the rise and fall of the Zhou Dynasty. His analysis was very logical.
Zhao Qingrui felt emotional in her heart. Her father was very insightful and always hit the nail on the head. No wonder he became the First Emperor. She still had a lot to learn from her father.
Within two days, Ziying received the gift carefully prepared by his aunt.
"Is this given to me by my aunt?" Ziying pointed at a pile of papers on the table, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Yes, Master Ziying, Her Highness asked you to do one every day. She will ask the teacher to check whether you are right or wrong. If the score is below 90, you will do one more." Chunxi said respectfully.
When she learned that the gift her Royal Highness the Princess prepared for Master Ziying was a test paper, she was completely shocked. She didn't expect that such a gift could be given.
When she came, she had already imagined how devastated Master Ziying would be when he saw these test papers.
The young masters in the elementary school in the palace have a lot to learn, and it is said that they have even more homework every day. Now Zhao Qingrui has to deliver test papers to Ziying. What a devil.
"Did my aunt take it away?" Ziying smiled stiffly, unwilling to accept this reality.
Wang Xia, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud. "Great job, little sister."
"Well, it's obvious that these test papers were carefully selected by my younger sister. She is so thoughtful. During this period of time, I happened to learn how to make clothes, so I made one for my younger sister as well. Chunxi, when you go back later, please bring them back to my younger sister and thank her for me." Wang Xia flipped through the test papers with a big smile on her face.
Over the past year or so, the price of fabrics in the market has stabilized. Ordinary fabrics are basically affordable for ordinary people. Even the more expensive fabrics have been much cheaper.
Although there were more female officials in the court, Wang Xia did not go for the examination. Rather than being an official, she preferred to stay in the palace and manage Yichun Palace.
As the eldest son of the First Emperor, Fusu never lacked the good things in the Yichun Palace.
Zhao Qingrui sent a lot of good things to Yichun Palace, so she would naturally return the favor by sending Zhao Qingrui some things.
It’s just that Zhao Qingrui basically has no shortage of good things, and the things she gives away are basically made by herself.
When Chunxi came back, Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up when she saw the ruqun made by Wang Xia herself.
"The skirt made by sister-in-law is so beautiful. Go and try it on." Yin Man urged Zhao Qingrui to try it on quickly.
"Okay, I'll try it." Zhao Qingrui was also looking forward to it. The skirt was embroidered with green bamboo, which looked very elegant and generous. Even she liked it very much.
Thanks to the dyeing technology provided by Zhao Qingrui, the beautiful fabrics on the market will no longer fade after washing.
The moon-white skirt set off Zhao Qingrui's tall figure and fit her perfectly. Over the past year or so, as she practiced physical training, Zhao Qingrui had actually grown a bit taller.
"Not bad, sister-in-law's craftsmanship is even better. I'm afraid I'll charm a lot of men when I wear it out." Yin Man teased.
"Sister, please stop laughing at me. The main thing is that the skirt made by my sister-in-law is beautiful." Zhao Qingrui turned around in front of the mirror. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. The clothes were beautiful and the person was beautiful too.
"If I had known that my sister-in-law was so thoughtful, I wouldn't have used the test paper to trick Ziying." Zhao Qingrui felt a little guilty.
"How can that be a trap? You did that for Ziying's studies." Yin Man covered her mouth, her eyes curved into crescents.
Yin Man had indeed learned bad habits. Zhao Qingrui said seriously, "You are right."
As for the pang of conscience, just ignore it.
"Your Highness, these are the dowry lists prepared for Princess Yin Man. Please take a look." His Majesty went to Shanglin Garden again. Shusun Tong was very upset and could only come to Zhao Qingrui.
"I almost forgot, Sister Yin Man is getting married. Time flies so fast. Bring it here for me to see." Zhao Qingrui looked a little dazed.
He took the list from Wang Xian and looked at the items on it. There were many kinds of things, including gold, silver, jewelry, various bronze utensils, glass utensils, and a large number of lacquerware, etc.
This was the first time Zhao Qingrui knew that so many things needed to be prepared for her sister's wedding. Before this, these matters were discussed directly between Shusun Tong and his father.
"Are all these things ready?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shusun Tong.
"Your Highness, everything has been prepared according to Your Majesty's requirements. I would like Your Majesty to review it personally." Shusun Tong said respectfully.
"Wang Xian, go to Shanglin Garden and ask my father to come over." She really wanted to go and take a look.
Ying Zheng was very concerned about his daughters' marriages, especially Yin Man's. As soon as Wang Xian came, he quickly returned with Zhao Gao.
"You want to go and see it too? Okay." Ying Zheng was surprised, but still took Zhao Qingrui with him.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Yin Man's dowry was stored. Looking at the full yard, Zhao Qingrui already knew what these things were from the list.
But after seeing the real thing, I still feel shocked. Is this the pomp and ceremony that a princess's wedding should have?
She remembered that in addition to these things on the list, Ying Zheng also gave her a lot of houses and shops in Xianyang.
"There are so many things. With these things, my sister can marry into the Meng family. Even if she does nothing, she won't have to worry about the rest of her life just by relying on these things." Zhao Qingrui sighed.
"What is there to envy? Don't worry, when you get married in the future, I will prepare something even more grand for you." Ying Zheng said calmly. He didn't think these things were too much. Yin Man was his beloved daughter, and all he could do as a father was to prepare more dowry for her.
