Chapter 207: The Feast
The emperor attaches great importance to the education of the crown prince, and after the last time he fled without permission, Zhu Houzhao finally accepted a normal prince's coursework.
In terms of schoolwork, the prince of the Ming Dynasty studied very hard: the morning was mainly cultural class. It is divided into three contents: reading, listening and writing. When you are studying, you must memorize a new essay within three days. They should be tested every three days. The amount of writing is also very large, with 100 words per day in spring, summer, and autumn, and 50 words in winter.
The learning details have also been strictly required, such as endorsement, not memorization, but the requirements of the words are correct and round, and the sentences are read clearly. Writing, on the other hand, requires that the writing be horizontal and vertical, square and neat.
All the learning process is supervised by the acolytes, and these acolytes are selected not only by learning, but also by rigorous learning, and these people are generally some iron-faced and selfless old scholars with good conduct.
These people dare to criticize the prince's mistakes at any time.
Being watched by such a group of old pedants all day long, can Zhu Houzhao not be depressed? No wonder he wanted to recruit Li Ling to come over as an accompaniment! ・
Li Ling originally thought that he was going to come over to accompany the prince to study, but when he arrived in the Wenhua Palace, he knew that he had prepared a sutra feast today.
This time the emperor is the protagonist. And he and the prince are just two spectators.
The so-called "scripture feast" is a literary and historical research meeting, in which the emperor convenes his ministers to discuss the experience of studying the subset of scriptures and history, which is not the first of its kind in the Ming Dynasty, and has also been in previous dynasties. However, when the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in power, it was supposed to be a period when the government wanted to be active.
During the period of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the sutra feast was established in the form of a system, and the emperors of later dynasties attached great importance to it.
The sutra feast has a fixed pattern, three times a month, respectively on the second day, the twelfth and the twenty-second day of the month, the lecture is mainly set in the emperor's imperial case slightly east, and the eunuch presents the scriptures in advance. The book is "University", and the book is "Shangshu". There are two lecturers for each lecture.
The lecturer this time is also two old acquaintances of Li Ling, they are Wang Hua and Li Dongyang.
The two lecturers first greeted the emperor before they began to give lectures.
Li Ling and the crown prince could only stand behind the two lecturers and listen, and they didn't even have the right to ask questions.
Liu Jin, this guy was also standing next to the prince very seriously.
This guy was punished by the emperor some time ago, and the crown prince pleaded with him many times, knowing that he had only recently been lifted from the lockdown.
This time, he also followed the prince to learn! This guy actually shook his head and listened to it, and when he was interested, he actually nodded again and again.
Although the two scholars were in high spirits, Li Ling and the prince were still drowsy.
After talking for more than an hour, Li Ling was hungry and hungry, if it weren't for the emperor and the two bosses by his side, he really wanted to leave and enjoy a good meal outside the palace.
"Shhhhh When Li Lingdong looked around, trying to find some food to fill his stomach, the prince began to remind him in a whisper.
Zhu Houzhao quietly stuffed a piece of steamed buns into Li Ling's hands, thinking that he was often pulled by his father to listen to the scriptures, and slowly figured out how to bring his own dry food.
In the middle of the day, the two speakers finally stopped. At this time, there was a small yellow door to support the two adults to Zuoshun Gate for dinner.
The crown prince also followed the emperor out of the Wenhua Palace.
Li Ling was so hungry and thirsty at this time that he wanted to go out to find something to eat outside the palace, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Liu Jin as soon as he moved.
"Li Huiyuan, others can go out to eat, but you and I can't!". Li Linggang wanted to leave, but was organized by Liu Jin, he continued: "Both of us are the prince's accompaniment, although the feast is over, but Master Li will teach His Royal Highness the prince in the Wenhua Hall in the afternoon, you and I will always wait here, until the prince finishes his homework before leaving!" ”。
Liu Jin said politely, but he hated Li Ling very much in his heart, and he would never forget the scene when Li Ling asked him to pick dung every day when he was in the Li family.
Now that Li Ling has offended the Queen Mother and the Emperor, how could he not take the opportunity to take revenge?
Originally, Li Ling could have followed the two scholars to eat together, but Liu Jin made a bad deal out of it, and he spent money to buy the worthwhile little yellow door, so that the other party selectively forgot about Li Ling.
When the two ministers left, they left Li Ling in the Wenhua Palace!
Li Ling was really hungry, so he casually found something to eat in the Wenhua Palace.
He stumbled upon the two lecturers with not only their respective handouts on their tables, but also two plates of fruit! Among them, there are not only apples and pears, but also southern fruits such as lychee, longan, longan, bayberry, etc.!
Li Ling didn't care about being polite, he stepped forward and picked up a plate and began to eat it.
"Hey, my little ancestor, you have made a big disaster, any kind of furnishings in the Wenhua Hall have regulations, and you must not easily move around!" Liu Jin was speechless, he didn't expect Li Ling to be so bold that he even dared to move the things here.
Not to mention that they are courtiers, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't touch these things at will.
The fruits are kept in the ice cellar, and it takes a lot of effort for the royal family to store them!
After Li Ling quickly finished eating the fruit on a plate, he felt that he was not so hungry, and he said to Liu Jin: "We are all old friends, you are welcome, you can eat him on the other plate first, how can you still suffer so much at an old age!" ”
Liu Jin listened to Li Ling's words, but he didn't move a step, he naturally knew how big the sin should be in the palace for many years.
"I just offended the emperor, and I don't know how to check some of them!". Liu Jin already regarded Li Ling as a dead man at this time!
is so willful, sooner or later it will become a big deal!
"Brother Liu, don't keep a strained face, okay, if you want me to say, you just have to serve the prince well, don't fight Xiao Jiujiu in your heart, you are neither the leader of the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor, nor the big man in Dongchang, it is not easy to get ahead, even if you are as powerful as Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi, don't you have to end up in a gloomy end?" Li Ling persuaded Liu Jin in a serious manner, so that he could serve the prince and pinch his crooked heart.
The emperor is in his prime, but I am afraid that Liu Jin, this old guy, will return to heaven, and the emperor may not have anything to do.
If he wants to climb up with the power of the crown prince, it is basically impossible!
Liu Jin, an old eunuch with ideals and revenge, was finally confused, he didn't know what he was going to do!
When Li Ge Lao was teaching the prince, he was in a trance and forgot to expose Li Ling for stealing fruits.
"Come to my house and sit more often when you have time!" When Elder Li Ge was about to leave after giving the prince a lesson, he suddenly said to Li Ling.
