"Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, Liang Chu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Zhong, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, ask to see him. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the Maoqin Palace, Wang Yue walked in.

"Why are they here?" Zheng De raised his head with a puzzled expression. These three have also lectured in the East Palace, and they can all be called Zhu Houzhao's teachers. Of course, except for Yang Tinghe, who is still performing his duties as a teacher, the other two have been transferred and promoted, so this is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao has the deepest feelings for Yang Tinghe in history.

"Let the gentlemen in." Zheng De waved his hand, although these are all Zhu Houzhao's teachers, but now they are also his own teachers, so naturally he doesn't dare to slack off.

"The ministers (Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Liu Zhong) have seen Your Majesty." The three of them came in together and bowed.

Zheng De hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Three gentlemen, please take a seat." ”

"This ......" The three of them glanced at each other, although all three of them had been the emperor's teachers, but except for Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao never called anyone else Mr., and he didn't know what happened to the emperor today? Could it be that it is a change of sex? Started to pay attention to respecting teachers?

"Your Majesty is the king, how can there be a courtesy for the ministers to sit first." Yang Tinghe said with his hand, although he was just a fifth-grade official in a green robe, and he couldn't compare to Liang Chu, who was already a waiter in the third-grade official department, but obviously the three of them were headed by him.

After the experience of this month, Zheng De also knew the temperament of this group of ministers in ancient times, as long as it was something they believed, even a thousand horses would not be able to pull it back. So I didn't say any more polite words, and sat down directly. After the three of them sat down, they asked, "I don't know why the three gentlemen came?" ”

"The ministers came to hope that the emperor would reopen the feast, after all, Your Majesty is still young, and the learning of the saint must not be wasted for a day." Listening to Yang Tinghe's words, Zheng De was confused. A feast? What is it? He looked at Wang Yue with an inquiring gaze, and the latter knew that his master must have committed the amnesia problem again, so he hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear.

The feast, since the Han and Tang dynasties, the emperor has set up a special imperial chair to talk about the scriptures and history. In the Song Dynasty, it was formally institutionalized and called the Jing Feast, and the lecturer was filled or concurrently served by Hanlin scholars or other officials. The Ming Dynasty followed this system and attached great importance to it, in addition to the emperor, after the prince came out of the cabinet, there was also a banquet. Since the beginning of the Orthodox period, he has preached three times a month on the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of each month. In addition to the three sutra feasts per month, there are still daily lectures, which are only used to read the official cabinet bachelor's class. In a word, the ministers gave lessons to the emperor.

Zheng De's face turned green when he heard this, he had finally graduated from college in his previous life, and now he wanted to let himself go back to the furnace to listen to the lectures of the old pedant, which was even more uncomfortable than killing himself. The most important thing is that the students are the only ones, and even doing a little action is under the constant monitoring of the teacher, and there are no weekends off.

Seeing the emperor's entangled and unhappy look, Yang Tinghe sighed lightly and patiently persuaded, "The sutra feast is an ancestral system, and Your Majesty must not violate it." ”

"Phew! What is the ancestral system, Lao Tzu is not from your old Zhu family, what does this matter to me. Zheng De couldn't help muttering in his heart. But although I thought so in my heart, I also knew that I would definitely not be able to run away from this matter, after all, I was still in Zhu Houzhao's body anyway. But although I thought so in my heart, I was still thinking about how to skip class, after all, looking at the posture of these three people, they must not have achieved their goal.

Liang Chu is also kind and inducing, "Your Majesty, if the feast is not wasted for one day, then the holy study and saint Dejia will advance one 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 lord opens his mind and inspires the spirit, and it must not be wasted. ”

Liu Zhong also admonished, "The emperor is the emperor of the world, and he should think of the people in the world." If you don't understand the learning of the sages and the history of the previous dynasties, how can you cultivate yourself and govern the world with the lessons of the previous dynasties? ”

Zheng De's most annoying thing is that others will give him a lot of big truths, and he also knows that he can't be silent anymore, otherwise he will not be crazy under the continued bombardment of these three in turn? coughed, "What Mr. said is very true, but the first emperor has just driven to the west, and I am now grieving inexplicably, and I really have no intention of going through the feast, so I ask the three gentlemen to forgive me." After speaking, I wanted to squeeze two tears out, but unfortunately I was not born as a professional actor, and I didn't have eye drops or anything like that, so I could only give up in embarrassment.

Looking at the emperor's clumsy acting skills, Yang Tinghe also shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly, "The difference between the emperor's words is that at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the hearts of the people in the world fluctuated. If the sutra feast is reopened and the people take the example, then the hearts of the people can be determined. ”

"What is this?" A sutra feast can be related to all the people in the world, and he is also drunk. But when it comes to this, Zheng De is helpless. After all, they can't be said to be able to talk about them, do you want to change the way, and the literary ones are not martial? This idea was immediately extinguished as soon as it flashed, and if you can't win, you can do it, which is what a scoundrel can do. Zheng De thinks that he is not a good person, but he does not want to do things that ruin his character.

"I agree to this, is there anything else?" Zheng De looked at the three people in front of him, like a defeated rooster, dejected.

Anyone could hear the perfunctory meaning, but seeing that the emperor agreed, the purpose of their coming here was achieved. I didn't want to say more, but I was afraid that the emperor would regret it, so the hard work of myself and others was not in vain? Yang Tinghe said again, "Since that's the case, let's start tomorrow." ”

"No way!"

When Zheng De heard this, he jumped up and quickly rejected the proposal. Seeing that the three of them looked at him strangely, he said embarrassedly, "Isn't tomorrow too rushed, are the three gentlemen ready to talk about something?" ”

Yang Tinghe was confident, "The subset of scripture and history can be used." ”

Zheng De was very uninterested in these things, and frowned slightly, "If you talk about these things that are not of much use to governing the country in class, I think the sutra feast should be waived." ”

Liu Zhong stood up angrily when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "The subset of classics and history is the masterpiece of the sages of all dynasties, especially the four books and five classics, which are the words of sages, and how can they be useless things for governing the country, Your Majesty's words are very wrong. ”

Looking at the aggressive Liu Zhong, Zheng De had the heart to refute. But to be honest, he really didn't know what the subset of scripture and history was, so he just said it in passing. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything.

Seeing that the emperor was suddenly silent, the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little solemn, but Yang Tinghe stood up and broke the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, "Your Majesty is cautious, the Four Books and Five Classics are the words of the saints, and the books that the world's scholars must cultivate, don't chill the hearts of the world's scholars." ”

At this point, Zheng De didn't want to compromise anymore, and said after a while, "In this way, after the feast, it will be changed to talk about the gains and losses of ancient and modern dynasties, and anyone can speak freely about the disadvantages of the times, as well as criticize all the ministers of the court, including me." No matter what is said in a big way or in any other way of avoiding it, it will not be punished for what it says. Zheng De may not be shocked enough, and then added, "Of course, this also includes insulting remarks." After speaking, he glanced at the three ministers seated, and they were all shocked by the emperor's unheard of remarks.

"There are also emperors who like others to scold themselves, no wonder the news of the emperor's amnesia came out after fainting in front of the coffin of the first emperor last time, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is to break his brain! What a poor baby! The three of them made eye contact, and they all looked at Zheng De with a trace of pity or worry, making his second monk really puzzled, "Why are these people looking at themselves with such eyes, do they look pitiful?" ”

"Forget it, don't bother to think about it!" The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to guess, Zheng Deke has no interest in knowing the thoughts of the three old guys in front of him, so he thought about it and said, "As for the date of the feast, it is set on the first day of the first month of the month, once a month, except for the first month, of course." What do the three gentlemen think? ”

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system has a rule that 'the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd days of each month will be preached three times', and it cannot be changed without authorization!" Yang Tinghe resolutely objected.

"Why not?" Zheng De glanced at them lightly, thinking that his words just now had calmed the three of them, and he still leaned back in the chair quite proudly. Picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's really not easy to calm these old guys, but it's quite comfortable in my heart." ”

Yang Tinghe looked at Zheng De, frowned slightly, and directly reprimanded angrily, "Your Majesty is my great tomorrow, and you will inform the hundreds of millions of people in the world." How can you be rude and rude like a country man. ”

Yang Tinghe's reprimand startled Zheng De, looking at Yang Tinghe's appearance of approaching a rampage, he smiled awkwardly, and also felt a little carried away, so he quickly sat up straight and admitted his mistake, "What Mr. taught me is that I was wrong." ”

"No, I'm the emperor, do I still need to admit my mistake to the minister?" Zheng De regretted it instantly after speaking, only to hear Yang Tinghe say again, "Your Majesty can change your mistakes when you know them, and it is very good." "It's even more embarrassing, but after thinking about it, isn't he his own teacher, isn't it normal to be counted a few words by the teacher? I feel much better.

"And the time of the feast?" Zheng De looked at his three teachers.

The three of them glanced at each other but did not back down, "Come according to the ancestral system." ”

Zheng De nodded, "According to the rules, since it is up to you to decide the time of the feast, it is up to me to decide the way of teaching the feast." ”

"By the rules? What rules? Hearing the emperor's words, the three of them instantly felt bad.

But before he could speak, Zheng De said again, "In a word, you don't agree, don't agree to the feast." He also felt that his attitude was a little soft, if he continued to retreat, it would be too embarrassing to be the emperor, and they would not be allowed to and pee on their heads in the future.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Zheng De's tough attitude, the three of them pondered for a moment and agreed. Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, he instantly felt a little messy.

"Sure enough, you still have to be tougher!"

Zheng De suddenly felt that he understood a truth.
