The next day, Fan Hongdao was going to the inner study hall to teach poetry. It is also a pity that at this time, the resignation of Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has not yet completely fermented and spread, so when Fan Hongdao entered the palace from Chengtianmen, he did not attract strong onlookers.

If you change to a formal science teacher from the Hanlin Academy, the little eunuch who is studying in the inner study hall should greet him outside the Chengtian Gate according to the etiquette system, and guide the teacher to go around the palace to show his respect for the teacher. But Fan Hongdao's status is relatively low, and he only came to teach poetry and Taoism, so of course the treatment cannot be compared with those who came from the Hanlin Academy.

That is, he entered the Chengtian Gate with the waist card issued by Chen Ju, and then passed the end gate, and Wang An, the eunuch Wang An, was waiting for him outside the noon gate. After going through the formalities, Fan Hongdao was taken into the noon gate.

Eunuch Xiao Wang said as he walked: "It's your first time here today, so you have to be more formal and enter the palace from the noon gate." But in the future, you can come in from the Xi'an Gate, the inner study hall is in the West Garden, and it is closer to the Xi'an Gate. ”

Fan Hongdao listened as he glanced at the surrounding palaces. He also entered the Forbidden City in that time and space in his previous life, but the palace four hundred years ago is still a little different from four hundred years later, the characters are even different, and there are no tourists full of pits and valleys.

The royal land has always had a complex pattern. Everyone knows that the capital is set by the imperial city, and the imperial city is set by the palace city, but the palace city can continue to be subdivided, some local ministers can set foot in, and some places are absolute forbidden places for foreign ministers, which is called the inner palace or harem.

The Huangji Gate and the Qianqing Gate are two boundaries that divide the palace into three sections. The Huangji Gate is the daily meeting place, and there are cabinets, six sections, living note halls, Wenhua Palace, Wuying Hall and other layouts outside the Huangji Gate, which belong to the area where the minister can enter and exit at will, as long as it is registered at the noon gate.

If the emperor in the deep palace issued an edict to the minister, he generally sent eunuchs to the east and west corners of the Huangji Gate to deliver the edict, and the cabinet scholars received the edict here. In this area, there is also the Donghua Gate and the Xihua Gate, which can enter and exit the palace from the east and west.

Between the Huangji Gate and the Qianqing Gate are the three major halls, which are usually not open, and the ministers can only enter when festivals and major celebrations are held, or when the emperor dies and dies.

And inside the Qianqing Gate is the harem as the saying goes, no matter when, the foreign ministers are absolutely not allowed to enter, and this is the most mysterious place for all the foreign ministers.

The dizzy Fan Hongdao was led by Wang An, and after noon, the gate turned westward, and then went out of the palace from the Xihua Gate, and then arrived at the so-called Xiyuan.

As the name suggests, the West Garden is a large garden on the west side of the palace for the Son of Heaven to play. The planning of the palace city is strictly seamless, abiding by the way of heaven, and it is not suitable for tossing, but Xiyuan can meet the needs of the Son of Heaven, and it is not a problem to build a Taoist temple, a leopard room, and a martial arts field.

Of course, if it is placed in the time and space of the previous life, the West Garden is an unspeakable harmonious area, the heart center of the Red Celestial Empire, and the palace next to it has become a scenic spot. can't help but make people feel the vicissitudes of life. The world is evolving.

When I went to the head of the inner study hall, I saw one or two hundred young eunuchs in their teens standing in a line, welcoming the arrival of the new sect. Then under Wang An's order, these little eunuchs saluted together, and then hugged Fan Hongdao and walked towards the small temple next to him.

Fan Hongdao couldn't help but whisper to Wang An, "Can't you see that you are very majestic here?"

Wang An smiled a little proudly: "Godfather sent us here as seniors to teach these little cubs a lesson!"

Originally, according to the rules of the Inner Study Hall, several elderly eunuchs should be selected as seniors to supervise the young eunuchs studying in the Inner Study Hall, and punish them according to the responsibility of teaching. Wang An was taken care of by Chen Ju, so he was also a senior.

Walking to the temple, Fan Hongdao was speechless for a while, this turned out to be a Confucian temple, worshipping the holy master Confucius. It stands to reason that it is normal to have a Confucian temple next to the school, and the two are basically not separated, but a group of eunuchs came to worship the Confucian Temple, which still made Fan Hongdao feel weird.

After worshipping the Confucian Temple and returning to the inner study hall, a representative of the eunuch students stepped forward and sent a bundle to Fan Hongdao, which was similar to the etiquette of reading outside. The number of bunchs taught in the inner study hall has been stipulated a long time ago, which is white ash, handkerchiefs and longguixiang, although Fan Hongdao doesn't know what the meaning of these is, but he still accepts them according to etiquette.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Fan Hongdao couldn't help but sigh again and again, except for the special identity of the students, the regulations and etiquette in all aspects are almost exactly the same as those of the schools outside.

Wang An, who was supervising the process next to him, said very interestingly: "I heard that Mr. Fan is a poet genius who is a famous Beijing master, and now he might as well write a poem on the scene in front of him to help the fun." ”

Fan Hongdao came here to teach poetry, of course, he would not fight an unprepared battle, and he had already filed a record in his heart. At this moment, he was not humble, and immediately pointed to a few bundles and groaned: "Wax Palong incense is used for bundle cultivation, and the lessons in the inner study hall are requested." According to the name, he will go to the superintendent, and whoever will change the bullfight first. ”

After four sentences, the little eunuch students present applauded together. And it is applauded from the heart, and the screaming is earth-shattering. Fan Hongdao smiled and made a gesture, as if thanking everyone for their support, and the atmosphere was excellent for a while.

This quatrain is actually of a very average level, but this poem is really written in their hearts, and of course it is very infectious to them, and it is natural to call a few times.

The bullfighting uniform can only be worn by famous eunuchs, such as the eunuch and above of the 24th Yamen of the Internal Prison. After these little eunuchs in the inner study hall are out of school, they will be assigned to the inner prison yamen to write and listen to use, and the good ones will definitely change into bullfighting clothes.

For them, of course, they will hope that they will change into a bullfighting suit as soon as possible. Therefore, the poem "Go to the superintendent by name, and whoever changes the bullfight first" is very pleasing and is not surprising.

"Hmph, the style is low, vulgar and unbearable! Partial life is still smug, someone invited you to teach poetry, is it to make you so unorthodox?" In this harmonious atmosphere, someone reprimanded loudly.

Fan Hongdao raised his eyes, but saw a forty-year-old scholar standing not far away. Fan Hongdao asked Wang An, "Who is this person?"

Wang An replied with a little surprise: "This is the Jingyi teaching Li Tingji, the most senior teaching in the inner study hall at the moment, and he has always been strict. I also have his homework today, and I don't want to attack you. ”

Fan Hongdao suddenly realized, it turned out that this was Li Tingji, who had been a fierce man in the middle of Xie Yuan and Huiyuan three years ago, but the palace test was given to someone else by Shen Shoufu.
