This parade is a victorious parade, symbolizing that the "most elite" Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty still has strong combat effectiveness, and it is a victorious division and mighty division that can fight when called, which can effectively guarantee the safety of the Ming Beijing Division, and can effectively respond to and support the needs of the nine sides and even the use of troops in various places.

Whether you believe it or not, the whole court seems to believe it anyway, and even Gao Shipra, the "famous general of the Southern Expedition", was forced to express similar views.

All in all, Jingying is very powerful, you have to be honest.

The reading is completed, and the sacrifice is that set of rituals anyway, but there is no need to repeat it too much, anyway, for Gao Pragmatic, it is to accompany the emperor on a trip, kowtow, and recite the sacrificial text on behalf of the memorial text.

After these things were done, Gao Shishi, who was newly promoted to the Japanese lecturer again, finally had his turn to give a lecture.

Unexpectedly, just two days before the lecture, Gao Shishi was on duty in Zhan Shifu to "prepare for class", and the obituary came: Zhang Rongshu.

Zhang Rong is the Duke of England, the highest foreign minister except for the prince of the royal family and the prince of the county, and he dropped out of the dynasty as usual.

At the same time, due to the close relationship between the British government and Gao Pragmatic, Gao Pragmatic had to come to the door in person to mourn, and the prince Zhang Yuangong had a very good relationship with Gao Pragmatic, and asked him to help wave the pill for the sacrificial pill, etc., which was delayed for a few days.

After the dust settled, the lecture arrived in early September.

Gao pragmatic is the top six champions of the dignified family, in his early years, there were books such as "Longwen Whip Shadow" and "Xinzheng Rhyme", although he was young, he was considered to be a famous person, but for the lecturer of the feast, he was still a newcomer after all.

The newcomer means that he cannot yet speak the Four Books, but only the Five Classics. However, the Pentateuch generally does not throw a random subject for the lecturer to speak, but must talk about the subject he was in charge of in the past.

Gao pragmatically governs "Zhou Yi", so he can only talk about "Yi" now.

Although the system of sutra feasts was formed in the Song Dynasty, the form was not fixed, not only did it vary from generation to generation, but also from generation to generation. Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, there was no fixed date at the beginning, and there was no fixed place.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors were diligent and studious, and although the lectures were not institutionalized, they were still not in a big problem in sacred learning. When Yingzong ascended the throne with Chongling, Sanyang was in charge, and he felt that he was responsible for the education of the child, so he asked for a sutra feast. Since then, the scriptures have been formulated to be annotated, and the two days, the twelfth, and the twenty-second day of each month have been preached three times, and the emperor has been lectured and read in the Wenhua Palace, and it is temporarily exempted in case of cold and heat.

The opening feast is a grand ceremony of the imperial court, for example, one of the lords knows the scriptures and feasts, the cabinet scholars or know or know the scriptures and feasts, the six books and other official attendants, and there are also exhibitions, ceremonies, offerings, praises and other personnel.

But that's a "sutra feast", not a daily sermon. In addition to the three sutra feasts per month, there are still daily lectures, only the lecture on the official and the cabinet bachelor's attendant class, without the attendant and other officials, the official or four or six, after each companion read more than ten times, the official speaks directly about the righteousness, but it is easy to understand and understand.

The daily lecture ceremony is much simpler than the sutra feast, or the small sutra feast and small lecture. Since then, the lecture has been institutionalized, with a small lecture every day and a large lecture every ten years, which is the main way for the emperor to receive Confucian education.

Although Gao Pragmatic is an official to the left concubine, if this position is filled by an older historian, sometimes he will even be in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, but obviously Gao Pragmatic belongs to the category with the least qualifications, not only can not be in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, but the position in the Hanlin Academy is not even particularly high.

Because of this, his small talk is naturally not very popular.

There were no cabinet scholars who came to serve in the class, and there was only one lecturer, who was an acquaintance: Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Zanshan, and Shen Li.

The chief official of Zuo Chunfang is Zuo Shuzi, who is a positive five products, and is at the same level as a university scholar; Zuo Shuzi is the following Zuo Yude, from the five products; Then the next is the left Zhongyun, which is six products; Then the next is Zuo Zanshan, from the six products.

Therefore, there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and Gao is pragmatic and a descendant, but now he is Shen Li's superior. Of course, Gao Pragmatic did well in the exam, and although Shen Lihui did well in the exam, he failed in the court exam, but fortunately he did well in the hall exam, otherwise he would not be here today.

But the court examination obviously has an impact on him, because if the Hanlin historian usually does not make a compilation of the records of the first emperor and such an errand as "Daming Huidian", the promotion is very slow, and generally can only boil up the qualifications, and there are very few high-level pragmatic such Hanlin officials who have worked for a few months and then take up a foreign post, and then actually promote the merits of the foreign office to return to the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, Shen Li, who can't be a special case, is still just a Zuo Zanshan from the sixth grade, but he is fifty years old this year, and Gao Pragmatic has not yet reached the crown.

It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating.

"Easy, the way to change is also." Gao Pragmatic does not intend to just talk about the big truth like an ordinary lecturer, but it does not mean that the truth can not be said: "In the past, the ministers selected the scriptures and took the "Zhou Yi" instead of the rest, in order to understand the way of change. ”

"All things in heaven and earth are changing all the time, and in all kinds of changes, how can we be good people and avoid evil, this is the way that "Yi" wants to talk about."

"Confucius sighed in his later years: 'Add me a few years, fifty years to learn, you can do nothing.'" It can be seen that the sage saw the essence of "Yi". "Zhou Yi Zhi Biography" said, "Fear begins with the end, and it must be blameless, which is the way of Yi." 'What is blameless?' Blamelessness means that there is no danger, no major fault, or even if there is a fault, it doesn't matter, this is called blamelessness. Blamelessness is the highest state of life that "Yi" told me. ”

"Fear is the end, and it must be blameless, which is the way of ease. There is no blame for introspection and making up for mistakes. Those who are not to blame, and those who are good at making amends. ”

These words are all from "Zhou Yi Department Biography". Who is not at fault? It's nothing more than size. Not to blame is not to make mistakes, but precisely to be able to reflect and correct them in time after making mistakes. "Zuo Biography" said, who is without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. Confucius praised Yan Hui: 'Don't get angry, don't offend.' 'Not making mistakes, that is, not repeating mistakes, and being good at correcting one's own mistakes.

"Zhou Yi" also says, 'Those who are not to blame have regrets'. In order to achieve a state of blamelessness, we must be good at reflecting on and repenting, such as Zengzi's 'three times a day to reflect on my body'. Reflection and repentance is the premise of reform, and if a person does not have true reflection and repentance, it is impossible for him to truly realize his mistakes, and he does not know how to correct them. In order to truly achieve blamelessness, we must reflect on ourselves at any time, be able to check out our mistakes in every aspect anytime and anywhere, and check, reflect and correct our mistakes anytime and anywhere. ”

At this time, the emperor asked, and Zhu Yijun asked: "Mr. Fang clearly said the way of change, but at this time he said that he is not to blame, what is the relationship between the two?" ”

Zhu Yijun usually calls Gao Pragmatic, he is a monarch and a minister, so he calls him by his name, but in order to show closeness, he only calls his name instead of his surname. But when he talks and reads, Zhu Yijun is still more with his father Longqing in this area, no matter which lecturer, he is called Mr. when he talks and reads - just at this time.

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "Everything in heaven and earth changes, and I should also change, but there will always be an unchanging reason in the world, that is, the Tao, and this Tao is in the easy, that is, to seek 'no blame'." ”

Zhu Yijun asked again: "No blame, is it to try not to make mistakes, or even if you make mistakes, you should correct them as soon as possible?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "It is easy to say: 'Those who are not to blame have regrets'." And he said, 'Be cautious and blameless.'" He also said: 'The gentleman is dry all day long, and he is not to blame'. These three words all mean the same thing: prudence. ”

But Zhu Yijun had a different opinion, he asked: "I will give an example: this year's flood in Liaodong, Yingtian also flooded, and this natural disaster is also!" How should the people of the land be cautious so that they do not have a flood and can be 'blameless'? ”

For the Ming people at this time, even if they are knowledgeable, this question may not be solved, or they have to talk about "heaven and man induction", saying that the flood is a warning from heaven.

But Gao pragmatic smiled: "Is the flood inevitable? Definitely. The minister also cited an example that in the past, the flooding of the Yellow River was serious, but in recent years, the flooding of the Yellow River has been reduced a lot by washing the sand with water and reinforcing the embankment with cement. Another example: In the past, the Yangtze River flooded badly, especially in Huguang and other places, which often flooded the country in summer and autumn, but since the construction of water conservancy in Huguang a few years ago, the flood has been reduced by at least half in the past few years. It can be seen that prudence does not mean not doing things, it means that some things should be prepared in advance and contingency measures should be taken in advance...... Therefore, you see, though the heavens and the earth have changed, I will be able to be blameless if I am cautious. ”

Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "What Mr. said is very true, now that the great changes in Tumochuan are imminent, I don't know how I should be 'cautious' to 'blameless', and I hope Mr. will teach me." ”
