Chapter 40 Priority should be given to learning

The emperor tried to govern, and learning should come first.

This sentence means a lot.

Since he specialized in the history of the Jiajing Dynasty, Xu Yan's understanding of this Daojun Emperor can be described as all-round.

There are not many poems in Jiajing, and those that have been handed down are even rarer, but this great tomorrow still left a few good poems.

Among them, there is a poem written by Emperor Jiajing's imperial scripture and lecture on the meaning of the university.

The full poem is:

The emperor tried to govern, and learning should come first.

The lower is the lord of the people, and the upper is the inheritance.

The rule is noble and the foundation is self-leveling.

The scholars of the people's monarchs have a back and a front.

If you are sincere in your intentions, you will not move.

My will can be determined, and the way of reason will not be reversed.

Self-cultivation is upright, and the governance of the family and the country is the same.

The rule of the country is clear, and all the nations are cooperative.

Yu changed Emperor Yaodian, Si Qiwen Wang chapter.

At the beginning of the self-cultivation of all countries, I thought of the square fist.

Although this model was formally institutionalized in the Song Dynasty, it was in the Ming Dynasty that the real flourishing was the Ming Dynasty.

The teaching method of the Ming Dynasty Sutra Feast was established in the Yingzong Dynasty.

Yingzong ascended the throne with Chongling, and Sanyang was very concerned about the education of the little emperor, and personally formulated the notes on the scriptures and feasts. On the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of each month, the Emperor Wenhua Hall will be temporarily exempted in case of cold and heat.

In addition to the three sutra feasts that must be held every month, there are also daily lectures, also known as small lectures and small sutra feasts.

The Ming people attach great importance to the sutra feast, believing that "if the sutra feast is not abandoned for a day, then the holy study and saint Dejia will advance for a day; If January is not wasted, then the Holy Learning St. Dega will advance in January. If the mind and spirit of people are multiplied, they will be naturally sensitive. After the feast and lectures, the righteous man opens his mind and inspires the spirit. ”

The emperor is also a human being, and there will always be inertia in people, and after a long time, he will not want to feast on the imperial scriptures. They also have a variety of reasons, such as the disobedience of the Holy Bow, the cold and the summer, and they are exempted from lectures as much as possible.

At this time, it is time for the officials to give full play, and they will give advice: "The emperor's festival should not precede the lecture, and the lecture should not be the scripture feast." ”

In short, occupying the moral high ground prompted the king to accept the feast.

In general, the Wise Monarch is very much in favor of the way of lecturing the scriptures. The most typical example is Emperor Hongzhi.

In comparison, Emperor Jiajing's impression in history is not very good. For example, what Daojun Emperor did not go to court for 20 years.

In fact, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, Emperor Jiajing was still very diligent and studious.

Ascending to the throne as a vassal of his family, he urgently needs to prove himself with etiquette.

And the regular royal feast is very important to create the image of a diligent king. Not to mention the basic operations of dealing with political affairs in the court.

It can be said that fifteen years before Jiajing, this emperor was still very competent.

Jiajing's disappointment to the court was in the middle and late stages, and there were various reasons. The most important turning point was in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, when the Son of Heaven was in the palace of Yikun Palace, but he was almost strangled to death by the palace maid in his sleep.

Emperor Jiajing, who escaped death, had palpitations and simply moved out of the Forbidden City to live in Xiyuan. In this way, he began a chic life that did not go to court for 20 years.

This imperial feast talks about the meaning of the university, of course, it was written by Emperor Jiajing in the early days. At that time, he was still a model of diligence and studiousness, and as a monarch, he set an example for the world's scholars.

The ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty was based on two points, one was filial piety.

As the so-called holy dynasty rules the world with filial piety.

The second is learning.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the household registration system, which divided the people of the world into civilian households, military households, artisan households, and music households. What a father does, and what a son does must also inherit his father's business.

But it is "a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make a hole." ”

In this way, after a long time, it is inevitable that the phenomenon of class solidification will appear.

Then the imperial examination system is the only way to adjust the balance and enable ordinary people to change their own destiny.

The Four Books and the Five Classics are very complicated, and it is difficult to write the Bagu Script, but because of this, there is hope for ordinary people.

Those rich and noble sons are full of bells and feasts all day long, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and they are naturally not willing to do such a hard thing when they are used to being comfortable. If you are lucky, you can still be an official, and it is also excellent to go to the country to be a prisoner.

If it is very simple to read, these gentlemen are afraid that they will extinguish the only hope of ordinary people.

Although it had limitations, it was the most reasonable selection method at that time.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

That's all there is to say.

If the Son of Heaven wants to promote learning, he naturally wants to set an example for himself. Just like the Ming Dynasty's heavy agriculture, the emperor will "plough pro-farming".

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, "learning" is as important as "farming".

Therefore, he made the poem "What the emperor is trying to govern, and learning should come first".

In contrast, business can be regarded as the last mile.

Emperor Jiajing asked the eunuch Wang to send a message to Xu Yan, "The emperor is trying to govern, and learning should come first", which was to warn him to be diligent and studious, and take the right path of the imperial examination.

It can be said that it is to point out the future direction for Xu Yan.

In Xu Xiaolangjun's opinion, Emperor Jiajing's words are too important!

Although the emperor did not give him an official rank, it was equivalent to giving him a promise. Just say that you kid study hard and take the test hard. As long as you pass the Zhongjin Shi, I will be reused for you.

Jane's four words in the emperor's heart are easy to say, but it is difficult to really do.

The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and it is difficult to remember a child who has no official body.

But Xu Yan did it.

Jin Xian Xiangrui not only helped the governor Zhu Kun, the prefect Ma Shanyuan, and the county magistrate Zhao Ruohai to become officials, but also made Emperor Jiajing remember Xu Yan.

Once the seed is planted in the heart, it will sprout and grow in the future, so there is no need to worry about it.

And Emperor Jiajing did not reward Xu Yan on the surface, but now it seems that he is protecting him.

The so-called Seon lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing.

If Xu Yan takes the path of the imperial examination, he must protect his reputation.

Scholars are the most sour and rotten, and the so-called Qingliu despises all those who rely on slippery whiskers to pat horses.

In the past, the Chenghua Dynasty was boycotted by the Qing rumors, and then Yan Song, the prime minister of Qingci, was impeached by the ministers who cried blood.

Therefore, offering auspiciousness is also a double-edged sword.

Xu Yan did not come forward by himself, but through the line of Zhejiang officialdom, which can be described as extremely hidden.

Emperor Jiajing also knew the way of the door, and paid great attention to protecting Xu Yan, and did not issue a holy decree to reward Xu Yan.

In this way, Xu Yan not only sold a favor from top to bottom of Zhejiang officialdom, but also preserved Zhu Kun's position, and also became a popular Xiaolangjun in Jian's heart, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

At first, Xu Yan didn't expect such a good effect, but now it seems that his original choice was simply too correct.

Xu Yan faintly felt that his arrival had gradually changed the direction of history, and the butterfly effect was gradually emerging.
