"The slave obeys. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, Wang Chengen took the order very respectfully, but in addition to respecting, he still "questioned" very tactfully, or "reminded", "Your Majesty, it is only half an hour before the opening of the inner study hall, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for all the officials above the third grade in Beijing to arrive on time." ”

"Well, what you said is reasonable, pass on my will, let the inner study hall postpone the class for an hour." Xiao Mu considered himself very "empathetic" and immediately proposed a reasonable solution.

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen didn't have any problems at this time, so he retreated, ready to call someone to pass the decree.

Qian Qianyi originally walked with Wang Chengen, but just now Wang Chengen heard the emperor's summons and ran over first, Qian Qianyi also quickened his pace and walked quickly outside the hall to wait.

Wang Chengen left the main hall and hurriedly went to deliver the decree, and when he saw Qian Qianyi waiting outside the palace, he remembered that he had brought him just now, so he hurriedly introduced Qian Qianyi into the main hall and set up a seat for him under Xiao Mu's instructions, and then hurried out of the main hall again, ready to call people to go together to spread the emperor's will and convene the Beijing officials above the third rank - this kind of work is definitely not something that Wang Chengen can complete alone.

"My memory is getting worse and worse." Wang Chengen walked briskly, and thought in his heart, "It's just that the emperor was a little too late to call, so he was a little flustered, and it can't go on like this......"

Qian Qianyi didn't know what to watch at this time, although Wang Chengen went out in a hurry, but Qian Qianyi didn't care too much, anyway, it must have been the emperor's will for him, and there was no need to ask inquisitively when convened, and it was right to tell the emperor a good book with peace of mind.

Since all the portraits of famous ministers have been painted before, the emperor does not seem to have any other new portraits to paint himself, so Qian Qianyi estimates that the content that needs to be talked about today must be more than the previous few days, and last night he also made full preparations for this, and intends to take today's opportunity to fully display his talents, so that the emperor knows that he Qian Muzhai not only knows how to paint, but also in terms of reading and learning, he is also a cut above Zhou Yusheng in the afternoon!

After Wang Chengen left, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi temporarily put away their thoughts of looking at the inner study hall for a while, but took out the books and signaled that Qian Qianyi could start to explain.

Qian Qianyi happily obeyed his fate, and continued to explain from the place designated by Xiao Mu and what Zhou Yanru talked about yesterday.

Because Qian Qianyi's knowledge itself is very profound, coupled with the great importance he attaches to the matter of giving lectures to the emperor, the preparation in advance is also very sufficient, and in the process of explaining, the historical background, causes and consequences of many events and many evaluations of future generations are interspersed from time to time, so that Lin Yi feels that he has benefited a lot, and he really deserves to be a master in the academic world, and his level is much higher than that of experts and professors in the professional field of later generations.

However, although Lin Yi is the queen's mother, she is just an incidental foil in this matter, no matter how good her listening effect is, it will not play a decisive role, after all, Xiao Mu, the emperor, is the protagonist of this lecture.

However, things are developing in a disappointing direction, although Qian Qianyi's explanation is very exciting, but Xiao Mu seems to be a little absent-minded, and the effect of listening to the lecture is also unsatisfactory - barely satisfactory, although it is not bad, but Qian Qianyi still feels that it should actually be better, and it should be much better than the current state, I don't know if it is because the emperor is working state affairs, so he didn't have a good rest last night.

Of course, Xiao Mu didn't do any state affairs last night, in fact, since the last time he went to the court and announced the implementation of an amnesty, Xiao Mu has never been to the court, nor has he worked on any state affairs, but has become a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all government affairs to the cabinet and the celebrant to worry about.

So why didn't Xiao Mu's lecture effect achieve the desired effect? In fact, it was because Xiao Mu didn't dare to look directly at Qian Qianyi's face - because as long as he saw Qian Qianyi's serious face, he couldn't help but wander his mind and think about his own imagination, Qian Qianyi's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and the two armies said in front of the battle that Huang Taiji and other slave chiefs surrendered to the picture, and at the same time, he felt funny in his heart, and at the same time, he continued to think of Qian Qianyi's surrender to the Qing army in actual history, and did things like "the water is too cold" and "the head is too itchy".

The contrast between imagination and reality made Xiao Mu unable to concentrate with all his strength, and he frequently wandered during the listening process, so that he couldn't bear to look at Qian Qianyi's face, so even though Qian Qianyi spoke very excitingly, Xiao Mu's effect on listening to the lecture was not as good as expected. This is also a very normal thing, just like in the ordinary middle school classroom in later generations, as a student, you never look at the teacher's movements, just rely on listening to the teacher's voice with your ears, and the learning effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

All in all, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi listened to Qian Qianyi's explanation for more than an hour, and it was almost time for the lecture to start in the inner study hall, so Xiao Mu announced that he would stop here today. Qian Qianyi also packed up his books and planned to retire, and at the same time planned to go back and summarize today's performance to find out why he was obviously well prepared, but the emperor did not sound so effective.

"Qian Aiqing, please stay." To Qian Qianyi's surprise, he was about to retire, but he was left behind by the emperor, and he didn't know what else was going on. Could it be that the emperor feels that he is working hard to tell books and wants to keep himself for lunch? It was a great honor to get the emperor's banquet, but Qian Qianyi thought about it, the effect of today's explanation was not very good, the emperor should have no reason to eat by himself, and it was not yet noon, and it was not time to eat.

"It seems that the emperor should have thought of some historical figures again, and asked me to paint portraits of them." Qian Qianyi came to a very reasonable conclusion in his heart, after all, there are many famous ministers in history, and no one stipulates that only four must be drawn.

However, Xiao Mu's next words proved that the very reasonable conjecture in Qian Qianyi's mind was completely incompatible with the correct answer......

"Today is the day of the lecture in the Inner Study Hall, and I have decided that all the officials above the third grade in Beijing will go to the scene to watch, and Qian Aiqing will go with me and the queen." Xiao Mu said.

"Minister, obey the order...... Qian Qianyi reflexively accepted Xiao Mu's will, but at this time, his mind was blank, not only because of his guess just now, but also because he didn't understand why he wanted to go to the inner study hall to give a lecture by himself, and not only himself, all the officials above the third grade in the capital went to see it, and the emperor and the queen also went to see it, and the inner study hall was not an important department in the first place, and it was responsible for teaching the little eunuchs in the palace to read and write, why did the emperor suddenly pay so much attention to it?

Xiao Mu's order is like a later generation of national leaders, leading ministers to personally go to observe the popular science education activities of a neighborhood committee in a certain community, such a thing, even the news network does not know how to report.

But who made it now Daming, who made Xiao Mu the emperor, what Xiao Mu said is the holy decree, there is no choice for the courtiers below, and if you understand, you must implement it, and if you don't understand it, you must also implement it. What's more, Xiao Mu and Lin Ye both thought that such an activity was very necessary - at least in this era, the decision to make Xiao Mu and Lin Ye reach a consensus between the two traversers, it seemed that no one could stop it.

The cabinet is on duty, the first assistant to Zongdao and a cadre of the elders are busy dealing with the folds sent from all over the country, in response to the problems reported from all over the country, put forward the opinions on how to deal with it, and attach the vote, to be sent to the ceremonial supervisor for approval, because Emperor Chongzhen just came to power to dispose of Wei Zhongxian and his party, the strength of the eunuchs in the palace has been greatly damaged, and the emperor has great trust in Lai Zongdao and others, so the ceremonial supervisor is now basically acting as the role of the echo worm of the cabinet, and there is basically no other opinion on the votes of the elders of the cabinet to come to Zongdao, All of them were criticized.

Therefore, Lai Zongdao and others also feel more and more that the burden on their shoulders is very heavy, since they are fortunate to be trusted by the emperor and leave the big and small affairs of the Ming Dynasty to us to deal with, then they must share the worries of the emperor and govern the Ming Dynasty well, so as to live up to the trust of the emperor. As for winning a good reputation for themselves during their lifetime, and even becoming a generation of virtuous ministers, and leaving a name in history after death, they secretly hope in their hearts. The so-called "the king's affairs in the world, winning the name before and after his death" is used to describe the current state of these elders, which is very appropriate.

Therefore, the elders are also cautious when dealing with government affairs, after all, everyone now knows that the eunuchs are not as powerful as before, so if the situation in the Ming Dynasty deteriorates, the most commonly used and the most skilled excuse for civil officials to "make trouble for eunuchs" will also lose its effect, and all the responsibilities can only be borne by themselves, which makes them have to deal with things carefully, for fear of any omissions. Even Lai Zongdao himself no longer thinks about resigning and returning to the field recently, not that he has no such mind and has regained interest in intrigue, but because the recent work of dealing with government affairs is too stressful and he can't be busy every day, so he has no spare time to imagine a better life after resigning and returning to the field.

Although the elders work very hard every day, but the situation of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to have been significantly improved, and they can try their best to maintain the status quo have made them feel extremely difficult, it is certain that the current Ming Dynasty can not withstand any natural and man-made disasters, which makes the mental state of the cabinet elders highly stressed, and the atmosphere of the cabinet duty room has been very depressing.

Just when he came to Zongdao to find some topic to soothe the atmosphere, Wang Chengen came in......
