Zhu Shiyang guessed correctly, his hard days were far from over, and the five members of the cabinet not only urged him to go to the imperial study every day to review the recitals, but also proposed that he go to the court every three days to listen to the government at the monthly court and political meetings. On this matter, all the officials and the cabinet agreed on the same opinion, a group of people in the main hall you sing and I peace, based on reason, Zhu Shiyang was finally outnumbered, had to reluctantly agree, but from once every three days, to every first day, the fifth day, the tenth day of the first month, the fifteenth, the twentieth, the twenty-fifth, and the thirtieth day of the new year.

The emperor took charge of politics for the first time in the eight years since he ascended the throne, and the whole court and the central government were cheering and boiling.

On the fifteenth day of this day, Zhu Shiyang came back from the court, and before he had drunk a few sips of hot tea, he heard Gui Xi report that the five scholars of the cabinet were waiting outside the palace, and respectfully asked the emperor to go to the imperial study to review the chapter.

Zhu Shiyang was not angry, but the five people in the cabinet have become more and more rampant recently, and they have repeatedly forced the palace to force themselves to approve the chapter, and what is even more infuriating is that every time on the day of the last dynasty, a group of thieves and rebels will enter the palace early under the leadership of Lu Wenyuan, and kneel in front of their own bedrooms in a row.

The more Zhu Shiyang thought about it, the more angry he became, he put down the teacup in his hand angrily, turned around and went out, and was about to raise his foot and kick someone. Yan Yong unfortunately knelt closest to the emperor, and was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his shoulders and bowed his head to bear it. Shen Lun had already lost his honor in front of the king, and he cried out in a lost voice.

Zhu Shiyang thought about Yan Yong's old age, and at the last moment, he restrained his feet, thought about it, but was unwilling, and kicked Zhao Yongning on the side instead. Zhao Yongning was defenseless, and was kicked on all fours, struggling on the ground. Seeing this, the other four hurriedly stepped forward to help. Zhu Shiyang's heart was secretly refreshed, so he raised his hand to call Gui Xi and walked towards the imperial study.

The furnishings in the imperial study are still simple, except for the necessary pen, ink, paper and inkstone, all other decorative furnishings have been removed. Zhu Shiyang rubbed in the hall for a long time, and everyone in the cabinet also arrived one after another. Zhu Shiyang noticed that there seemed to be a lot more recitals today than in the past, so he pointed to the imperial case and said unhappily: "Lu Wenyuan, why are there more and more recitals you have presented to me recently, I can't finish reading them." ”

Lu Wenyuan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, what the ministers presented to the emperor had to be approved by the emperor's imperial pen, but recently the ministers have added some important pieces that are important although they do not need the emperor's personal approval, so there are too many." ”

Zhu Shiyang said unhappily: "I don't need to personally approve and return it to me, it will delay my work in vain." What do I want your cabinet to do? ”

Lu Wenyuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, the responsibility of the cabinet has always been only to assist the government, and it must not completely replace the emperor. ”

Zhu Shiyang had nothing to say, only said sullenly: "In short, whatever you say is reasonable." ”

Lu Wenyuan hugged his fists and said, "The minister doesn't dare." If the emperor has nothing else to do, the minister will go outside and wait. Please let the emperor concentrate on reviewing the recitals. With that, he bowed and withdrew.

Zhu Shiyang snorted at his back, so he had to sit behind the imperial case and watch the recital. However, he got up early in the morning today, and after watching it for a while, he felt sleepy, so he fell on the table and dozed off. After another half an hour, the bell on the bell and drum tower rang, and it was already the hour of the hour. Zhu Shiyang was woken up, sobered up for a while, and felt that it was still early, so he stood up and paced around the hall, rejuvenating his muscles and bones.

The books and volumes in the imperial study are all arranged in compartments and neatly organized. Although most of the content of the book involves politics, etiquette, history, and military affairs, it is always more interesting than the righteous and righteous words, and the long expositions are often more interesting. Zhu Shiyang talked better than nothing, looking at each grid one by one, and when he saw the "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", he suddenly noticed that there was something hidden in the corner of the grid.

Zhu Shiyang was curious for a while, and reached out to take it out to see that it was a jade Linglong that he had played with casually before. Only then did Zhu Shiyang remember that a few days ago, he thought it was too boring to read the movements, and secretly hid a copy of Liu Yong's "Collection of Movements" under the "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books", so that he could read it when he was bored. Around that time, Yu Linglong was also left behind.

Yu Linglong's position hidden in the book grid was far behind, and it happened to be blocked by the spine, so Lu Wenyuan didn't find it when he cleaned up the furnishings in the study. Zhu Shiyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought out Yu Linglong and Liu Yongci together, and put them on the imperial case to read them while playing, and he didn't have the heart to read any more chapters.

Lu Wenyuan and the five of them stayed outside the palace until noon, and they didn't see the emperor come out. Yan Yong wondered: "Is it that there are too many pieces sent to the emperor this time, and the emperor can't bear it for a while, so he hasn't finished it yet?" ”

Lu Wenyuan also had doubts, and muttered: "No, I am obviously gradual, and I only hand over five or six more copies every day than the day before." The emperor finished reading it before he was late yesterday, why did he drag it out until now? ”

Gui Xi was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, and said anxiously on the side: "Adults, let the emperor rest, the emperor will get up in less than four watches today, and it is the last court and the approval of the chapter, and now it is time to have lunch." The adults have to fill the emperor's stomach! ”

Lu Wenyuan was also a little worried, but he was afraid that the emperor would be tired of himself, so he hurriedly opened the cotton curtain and went in to take a look. Who knew that when Zhu Shiyang saw him come in, he looked panicked, and hurriedly stuffed something into his sleeve. There was a book spread out on the pile of music in front of him, and he had already read more than half of it, so he was so interested that it was obviously not related to political affairs.

Lu Wenyuan's face was suddenly unkind, and he stepped forward to pick up the book and took a look, it was a book of Liu Yongci. Lu Wenyuan was not disgusted with Liu Yong, but in order to make the emperor realize his mistake, he still said with a dull face: "The emperor doesn't look at the music, but looks at these obscene lyrics and songs." ”

Zhu Shiyang was undecided, and he knew that he was wrong, so he avoided the important and argued lightly: "Who said that Liu Yong's words are obscene words? It's very good to look at it, the willow bank, the wind and the waning moon, how can such an artistic conception be understood by people in the pickled officialdom? After a pause, he suddenly reacted again, and said angrily: "Lu Wenyuan, why did you come in without being summoned!" ”

Lu Wenyuan didn't answer his last words, and only commented on the previous sentence with a smile: "The emperor said very much, but the sentence 'endure the floating name, change the drink and sing low', I'm afraid it is not something that the emperor can understand." ”

Zhu Shiyang was stunned when he heard this, and then he became even more annoyed, just because the sentence "endure the floating name" was originally intended to satirize the fact that the heavenly family does not know talents, so that people with lofty ideals are not allowed to be appointed, so they have to place their affection in the willow alleys of Flower Street.

Zhu Shiyang was originally an emperor, thinking that there may be many people in the people who will abuse him like this, and he feels a little unhappy every time he reads this sentence, but he has never mentioned it to others. Now that Lu Wenyuan was embarrassed, he was naturally annoyed and angry, and slapped the table and said, "Lu Wenyuan, you are bold!" ”

Who knew that something happened to this shot, and Yu Linglong, who had just been hidden in her sleeve, fell out and rolled to the ground. Zhu Shiyang was stunned when he saw Lu Wenyuan's swaking of pure vinegar about the sea for Xiu Zhichun's ∈∫ lie

Zhu Shiyang's face was slightly red, coughed, and pretended to say, "This ...... It's for you, so get out of here. ”

Lu Wenyuan leaned over and picked up the jade Linglong in his hand, looked at it over and over again, and then said: "The emperor really deserves to be the king of the Holy Ming, the minister obviously provoked the emperor's anger, but the emperor still wants to reward the minister, and the minister is really terrified, and he is ashamed." He rubbed it respectfully, and said, "If the emperor doesn't think the ministers are greedy, how about rewarding this collection of words to the ministers?" It's better to go back and read it carefully. ”

Zhu Shiyang knew that he was sarcastic about himself, but he had no choice but to nod and watch Lu Wenyuan put away the two things and take them away.

Lu Wenyuan returned to the outside of the hall and told everyone about the situation in the hall, and even Gui Xi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh secretly. Yan Yong sighed: "This emperor, he can also play when he looks at the music, and he is almost like a child." I don't know if he's twenty-six or six. ”

Lu Wenyuan smiled and sighed: "Since the ideal of the ancient scholars, it is to be able to faithfully assist the Ming Lord, or to train the monarch he assists to become the Ming Lord. Regardless of our purpose, we still have a long way to go. Everyone present nodded.

That Zhu Shiyang was self-inflicted, so he had to watch the recital while having lunch, and he didn't finish until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the "Movement Collection" and Yu Linglong had no face to come back, so he only went back to the dormitory to take a nap sullenly.
