On the sixth day of September in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, at noon, on the street of Liulichang, a red sedan chair regulated by Dorobelle hurriedly came.

Hongyi, who was sitting in a sedan chair, was already hungry at this time, but he felt that his spirit at the moment was called a "double child"! Because, there is still a good show waiting for me to stage later. The "three plays in one day" -- the imperial gate to discuss the government and the court to review and interpret the laws and regulations are all going very smoothly, and if the "Mansion Collecting the Relics" that is about to be staged can also be carried out smoothly, then wait for the victory of the phased battle tomorrow......

"The Prime Minister of the Five Banners Sect under the Great Qing Dynasty, the Minister of the Left-Wing President of the Firearms Battalion, Dorobelle, the second son of the emperor, to ......"

When Liang Gong's slender voice loudly announced this long list of names under the door of Ji Kaisheng's mansion, Hongyi's majesty blocked the front of the door, causing the surrounding crowd to chatter and discuss.

"Brother! Why haven't you heard of the Prime Minister of the Five Banners Sect now, which one is it? Passerby A asked quietly.

"You're a mallet! All day long, I knew that the second son of the emperor who was born with the crown and the golden crow was on his lips, why did he stay when he saw the deity today? Passerby B was dismissive.

"Are you saying that this one who came is the Dorobele Lord of our Qing Dynasty, who was born with the crown, auspicious from the sky, descended from the golden crow, and was assisted by the god of firearms?" Passerby A finally showed his ability to spread the news in the past, and said in one breath the main achievements of Hongyi since the birth of the fetus.

"You can't make a mistake, it's like a fake!" Passerby B swears that there is no doubt!

"Then where are you doing, brother! Let's hit Qian'er and kowtow! It's good to ask his master to give us some blessings and longevity! Passerby A took the lead and knelt outside the guard of honor, shouting the praises of Hongyi's divine might. As a result, the people around immediately "hulala" knelt down, and they all said hello to the god-like master!

Hongyi, dressed in a golden court dress, walked out of the sedan chair, immediately rode on Liang Gong's shoulder, first signaled him to turn around, waved at the kneeling "fan group", and said loudly: "Thank you for your love!" Hurry up, please! After that, he entered the Ji Mansion in a sound of praise.

When Hongyi appeared in front of Ji Kaisheng, the first minister was respectful and paid tribute to the prince. After getting up, there was a lot of approval in his eyes, and there was no criticism of the little guy's exaggerated arrangement and behavior.

"Mr. Ji, have a few distinguished guests come to your mansion?" Hongyi can now be said to be a confidant of Ji Kaisheng, and his speech and demeanor are very cordial.

"Grass people Yang Yongjian-Min Xu, meet Lord Baylor!" The first to reply were the two new Kogons who hadn't seen each other since the breakup in Luoma City a few days ago.

"Haha, Brother Yang, Brother Min, Xuan Ye is really sorry, in a few days, it will be the day of the Emperor Ama to personally take the palace test[1], but I still pulled you over, it is really a great Confucian in the world who came to Mr. Ji's mansion today, and it is your loss to not be able to see him! Forgive me! Hongyi hugged his fist on Xiao Liangzi's shoulder, and it was also a great respect and praise for the two tributes who were destined to achieve fame and fame, but they are still "cloth art white ding".

"The grass people don't dare to accept the affection of Lord Belle! You are called to come, I will wait before and after the saddle! Min Xu said first, but Yang Yongjian on the side nodded yes for the first time!

Close! How important it is to pay attention! Hongyi looked at the performance of the two, and secretly rejoiced that he had almost "life and death" with these people in Luoma City that day, but now, even people have received their own left and right!

"Minister, the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and the bachelor of the National History Academy, Zhu Zhixi, please give Dorobelle Lord Hello!" A middle-aged man in his thirties, who was usually dressed up, hurriedly flashed out from behind Ji Kaisheng and saluted respectfully. In fact, Hongyi had noticed him a long time ago, and he was waiting for this person to take the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Oh, Lord Zhu has already arrived! It's rude and rude, Xuan Ye didn't greet you, it's really rude! Hongyi hurriedly got off Liang Gong's shoulder and respectfully saluted the man with a fist.

Zhu Zhixi was grateful for the master's humility and respect, but he was very cautious in his actions, and hurriedly flashed aside to avoid Hongyi's salute, but instead hugged his fists again: "The subordinate is lowly and low, and he doesn't dare to let Dorobelle and the prime minister of the clan fall in love!" ”

"Lord Zhu, you are a great talent that my emperor Ama can rely on as the emperor's teacher, and your song 'Wuyun is close to the imperial furnace sky, and the language is paging to try the color paper pill; The forbidden inner pan can be respected, and the quatrain of the former sages is still cherished by the pen', and the emperor Ama also asked me and the emperor's eldest son to recite it day and night. The emperor's meaning is that let us be like you, and be able to fulfill our duties in the future and assist the monarch with our literary talents! In this way, you can be regarded as a teacher that Xuan Ye has never met. Please bow down to Xuan Ye! Hongyi said eloquently, then grabbed Zhu Zhixi, and bowed deeply.

In fact, to understand Zhu Zhixi's talent, Hongyi really did not rely on the reserve knowledge brought by later generations. It's because I've heard and seen it for a long time. In the twelfth year of Shunzhi, this Lord Zhu had already become a popular man of Emperor Shunzhi with his talent and ability.

Zhu Zhixi, the word Meng Jiu, a native of Yiwu, Zhejiang, the first branch of the Qing Dynasty - the eighth place in the second class of the Shunzhi three-year Bingxu Branch Palace, can be described as outstanding talent and learning, and was elected to the Shuchang Pavilion as a Jishi. He was well paid and was a reserve for the high-ranking bureaucracy. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, due to Zhu Zhixi's excellent results in the imperial examination, he was soon awarded the Hongwen Academy to edit and add a level, and the second year began to compile and revise the "Six Cao Zhang". Seven years later, due to the death of his father Zhu Sanfeng, he returned to the province to mourn. Ten years, full of filial piety, returned to Beijing with his mother, and resumed his previous position. In the spring of the eleventh year, he was promoted to the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and a bachelor of waiting. In the spring of the twelfth year, Zhu Zhixi moved to Shaozhan Shi and lectured at the National Academy of History.

And Ji Kaisheng is a test scholar in the sixth year of Shunzhi. Coincidentally, in the sixth year of Shunzhi's examination, Zhu Zhixi was ordered to serve as the same examiner [2]. In other words, according to the customary habits of scholars at that time, Ji Kaisheng could call Zhu Zhixi "Fang Shi [3]". Because of this relationship, in addition to working together in the court on weekdays, the two still have some personal relationships in private.

So, in Ji Kaisheng's mouth, Hongyi knew some things about this Zhu Zhixi Zhu:

In order to be able to read the chapters of the ministers and handle government affairs, he read Chinese books with great perseverance, and he used the Qianqing officials as a study and placed dozens of bookshelves, including subsets of classics and histories, barnyard official novels, and legendary current arts. In the hall, there are also a few long columns, and cultural relics such as Shang Yi Zhou Ding, seal albums and so on are placed. Every day, in addition to dealing with military affairs, Fu Lin would read until late at night. Sometimes he even gets up at five o'clock to read until dawn, until he can recite the content fluently. In order to ensure that there is sufficient time for studying, Fulin also stipulates that every Friday of each month is the period of viewing. From the beginning of the eighth year of Shunzhi to the death of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, in just over nine years, Fu Lin's writings on the pre-Qin, Han and Tang and Song dynasties, the actual records of various emperors of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the operas and scripts of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, have all been involved, and his knowledge has continued to grow. Therefore, there is a good story of "nine years of hard study".

More than a year after Fu Lin's pro-government, Zhu Zhixi just expired his filial piety period and reinstated the Hongwen Academy. Because he was a learned man, Fulin often consulted him. Judging from the special importance that Emperor Shunzhi attached to Zhu Zhixi later, Zhu Zhixi played a certain auxiliary role in Fulin's study career and the early days of his pro-government.

In order to study the classics, Emperor Shunzhi often drove to Hongwen Temple to inspect, and sometimes there was a sudden "attack". Every time he went to Hongwen Academy, he found that Zhu Zhixi was either busy with official business, compiling books, or immersed himself in reading, and he was very scrupulous in his duties, without the slightest intention of slacking off. Because Zhu Zhixi is knowledgeable, he analyzes the words of the masters of the past dynasties in a clear and well-informed manner. Therefore, Emperor Shunzhi admired Zhu Zhixi's diligent and studious spirit very much, and attached more importance to Zhu Zhixi.

Once, Emperor Shunzhi came to the courtyard again, asked someone to bring pen and ink, spread out colored paper, and asked Zhu Zhixi to write a poem. Zhu Zhixi had an idea, took the pen and wrote the poem that Xuan Ye recited just now, "The forbidden inner plate can be respected, and the pen is still used to advise the former sages". It means to be faithful to one's duty and to assist the monarch with one's literary talents. Emperor Shunzhi was overjoyed after reading it, and personally asked Zhu Zhixi to sit beside him, and gave him tea to talk, and at the same time gave Zhu Zhixi a robe. In the spring of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Zhu Zhixi was promoted to the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and a bachelor, and posthumously presented his father as Ru Linlang. The Zhan Mansion has one Zhan Shi and two Shao Zhan Shi, which is a transitional step for the promotion of Hanlin officials, and it is actually a cradle for cultivating and recommending talents. Zhu Zhixi served as Shao Zhan, although he had no real position, but he was actually a subordinate of the East Palace, and he was very valued by the emperor.

And this time, Ji Kaisheng and Hongyi estimated that they brought Zhu Zhixi to meet, in fact, there was another more important reason - Zhu Zhixi and the old scholar with the manuscript of "Guoyi" who was harassed in Luoma City knew each other originally!

It turned out that Ji Kaisheng was instructed by Baylor Ye Xuanye, and he frequently visited the humiliated old gentleman in the past few days, and finally learned the truth: the old gentleman's original name was "Tan Xun", the word Zhongmu, and the number of shooting father. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he changed his name to "Tan Qian", the word Rumu, the name Guanruo, called himself "Jiangzuo Relics", vowed not to enter the office, and made a living as a servant. Talking about the old relics' preference for Bo Zong, all of them are committed to the history of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), based on the Ming Shilu, the group books were checked, the forgeries were examined, the chronology was compiled according to the facts, and the order was based on the month and day, which lasted six years and completed the first draft of the "National Legend".

When Ji Kaisheng curiously asked why the old gentleman entered Beijing, he learned that the year before last, in the tenth year of Shunzhi, he was hired by Zhu Zhixi, the editor of the Hongwen Academy, to go to Beijing with the manuscript of "Guoyi" to explore public and private writings, visit the old man of the late Ming Dynasty, especially the government archives such as newspapers and official documents, and proofread and revised the "Guoyi".

Hearing Zhu Zhixi's name, Ji Kaisheng immediately ran to the East Second Institute, and the result of the discussion between the two was that they met with Zhu Zhixi and Tan Qian in the mansion today.

Hongyi pulled Zhu Zhixi, the "teacher" he had just recognized, and happily entered the living room, but saw a skinny old man with crane hair and silver hair, who was sitting on the main seat as steady as Mount Tai and calmly, while sipping the fragrant tea in his hand, he shook his head and looked at the book in his other hand, as if he was deaf to the noise outside the house just now and the politeness at the door of the living room.

Hongyi took a closer look, and it was really the old man who was rescued in Luoma City that day. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the old gentleman speak quietly, and said to himself:

"The history of the predecessors must not be destroyed, and if the history is not established, the future generations will not know where they are today. [4] Such a Tatar[5] can be regarded as some insight! ”

"Mr. Tan, why are you sitting on the ......" Ji Kaisheng was in his own house, so he had to reluctantly ask softly, but he couldn't hold back.

"Oh? When will the Tartars be allowed to sit on the throne? Tan Qian didn't raise his eyelids, but his voice was much higher than just now!

Zhu Zhixi was about to open his mouth to stop the talk, but was stopped by Hongyi raising his hand.

Hongyi instantly switched to the channel of Lord Belle, calmly adjusted his court clothes and crown, stood at the door of the living room, looked at the old man deeply, and said loudly: "Daqing Dorobelle, the second son of the emperor, Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, meet the current Sima and the historian Confucian, and talk about the old man!" ”

"Bang!" The teacup in Tan Qian's hand fell to the ground in response to the sound and fell to pieces......

[1] In the official history ("Shunzhi Record"), the time of the Yiwei Branch Palace Examination in the twelfth year of Shunzhi should be held on the Wuxu day (March 13) of March of that year. I am a shallow talent, and I checked whether there are historical materials before, and mistakenly thought it was between September and October. Helplessly, the plot has been arranged, and the mistakes have been cast, only the mistakes will be wrong, covering the ears and stealing the bell, so for those readers who have a rigorous attitude towards history like me, and also for the readers of this article who are in the mood for essential entertainment, Hongyi made a mistake. Leave the opportunity to correct your mistakes when this volume is rewritten! Long hope for all of you!

[2] "Same examiner", the official who cooperates with the chief examiner or the president in the Ming and Qing township examinations and general examinations. Because they live in one room in the middle of the house, they are also known as the room examiners, referred to as the house officials. The examination papers are distributed to each room officer to read first, and then recommended to the chief examiner or president.

[3] In the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the imperial examination system, the honorific title of the examiner who recommended his own examination papers was the honorific title of the examiner. Because of the separate room marking in the township examination and the general examination, the test papers of the candidates must be selected by the examiner in a certain room, and recommended to the chief examiner or president after adding approvals, so that they can be selected, because of this name.

[4] The words of "Yuan History: The Biography of Dong Wenbing" are the words of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty.

[5] Tartar is historically a disdainful term given by the Han Chinese to ethnic minorities in northern China, such as the Mongols and Manchus. A long history of China was written by the Han and ethnic minorities, who created the other half of China's history. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the League had a program such as "expelling the Tartars", but after the Republic of China, the slogan was abandoned and changed to "the republic of the five ethnic groups". China has been a unified multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and ethnic minorities are also Chinese, this title is no longer suitable for the present, contrary to the spirit of national unity in the Constitution, the Chinese nation is formed by the integration and development of multiple ethnic groups, so this word is rarely used today, and there is relevant legislation "Instructions of the Government Council on Handling Titles, Place Names, Monuments and Plaques with the Nature of Discriminating or Insulting Ethnic Minorities".
