Text Chapter 4 The Prince's School Examination 1
The Zhenghe Hall is located in the most central position of the Great Liang Palace, taking the meaning of politics and people. It is the name that Zhao Hao changed after surviving the defeat of Fa Yan. By the way, I use this to announce the countries, I Beizhao is ready to put swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horses are put in Nanshan. Immerse yourself in the development of internal affairs. After ten years of governance, ten years of life and gathering. The national strength has skyrocketed, and it lives up to the name of the palace of government and peace.
The main hall is the place where the early dynasty was held, and the prince of the school examination will naturally not be here. The school examination was held in the upper study room on the left side of the Zhenghe Palace. The role and importance of the study room is far greater than that of the main temple and the temple. The decrees of the Northern Zhao Bacheng were all issued from the upper study.
This time, the study room has a built-in study room for the five cabinet ministers to assist the emperor in managing state affairs. In case of major matters related to the fortunes of the country, the heads of the six ministries and other yamen will be convened to discuss together. When encountering urgent matters such as disaster relief, the ministries often deal with them first, such as the household department, which should count where to transfer grain and how the Ministry of Industry transports it. How the Ministry of Rites rescued the disaster. At the same time, it will be submitted to the upper study. If the deployment is improper, it will be changed in time by the study and the officials will be held accountable.
In the early dynasty, it was only necessary to announce who was in charge, and these follow-up events were exempted. You won't discuss it until the early dynasty, and when you have a result, the victims don't know how many people have died!
In fact, most of the things to be discussed in the early dynasties were discussed by the emperor with the important ministers on the first day, and the basic pace was set. The so-called early dynasty is just going through the motions to see if there are any freshly baked opinions. It is more of a role for low-level officials who usually don't admire Longyan to see each other. Prove that your boss is safe and sound, and everything has me. It plays a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Once the early dynasty is dismissed, it will be fine for a day or two, but if the early dynasty is not held for a long time, it is inevitable that the officials below will have different ideas. Why, is there something wrong with our majesty, do you want to consider the position problem, I think the three princes are good.
People are in turmoil, and the court is unstable. Therefore, the so-called Ming Jun never easily dismissed the early dynasty, even if he knew that the efficiency of the early dynasty was chilling. Of course, individual wonders are not listed, such as Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.
The upper study is not large, and a palace is divided into three parts. In the middle is naturally the emperor's desk for handling state affairs, and a table and a few chairs are simple. On the imperial table were still piled up with pieces waiting for the emperor's approval. Conspicuous is a huge map hanging on the wall behind the imperial table, the map of the world.
The left-hand transept is where the five ministers of the Upper Study Cabinet usually work.
In normal times, the five cabinet ministers would select the chapters here, discuss the preliminary results, and write their opinions with a brush before submitting them to the emperor for ruling. Commonly known as ink batch. Then the emperor used cinnabar as ink, checked or wrote his own opinions. Commonly known as Zhu Pi. In this way, what was played in this piece had a result. Of course, some emperors would throw aside the pieces that they didn't want to pay attention to. Screamed to stay in the middle and not send it.
At this time today, the room was empty. Today's school examination prince deliberately postponed the office hours of the study. After all, the emperor also wants to save face, in case the school exams a prince who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn, he can't let a courtier listen to jokes.
The emperor has just finished the early dynasty, the six sons have arrived, standing obediently in the left row of the imperial table, the head is the third son of the emperor Zhao Jiang, the queen's concubine, the prince of the dynasty! Standing in the first place is also the right thing to do.
He was followed by Zhao Sheng, the eldest son of the emperor, who had grown a beard at the corner of his mouth, and liked martial arts since he was a child, and he looked very powerful. followed by the second son Zhao Yan, the fourth son Zhao Zhao, and the fifth son Zhao Hui. Until he saw Zhao Ming, who was the outermost part of the team, his heart was on fire. This rebel!
I saw that the sixth son of the emperor, Zhao Ming, was lazy, not upright, and there was a distance of a position from the fifth son Zhao Hui, it was not that the rebel son and his brother were at odds, but that place happened to have a pillar that supported the hall. Zhao Ming leaned his back against the pillar, and his head was napping up and down, so uncomfortable.
In view of the fact that in addition to their family, there are also Hanlin officials who usually teach the prince's knowledge. Zhao Hao had a bad seizure, so he could only cough heavily.
Huai En understood, stepped forward and pulled Zhao Ming's sleeve covertly, and called in a low voice: "Sixth Highness wake up!" ”
In this way, Zhao Ming woke up, opened his eyes and saw a chrysanthemum-like old face appear in front of him, startled, and glared at the latter fiercely. Wynne smiled bitterly.
After a while, Zhao Ming reacted to where he was, and smiled apologetically at Huaien, who shook his head, signaled not to take it to heart, and retreated behind the emperor who was already sitting in the dragon chair.
"Humph!" Zhao Hao glared at Zhao Ming and snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction. Zhao Ming's small action made Zhao Hao burst into a nameless fire.
This rebel! Extremely daring! How dare you roll your eyes at me! The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said wordlessly: What a big thing. That stinky face, Zhao Hao couldn't wait to smash a teacup over.
Unexpectedly, the king lost his manners, and the ordinary courtiers had already knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, so this rebel is not the same thing! Wait a minute, you look good! The princes and ministers all bowed their heads, and no one noticed the "interaction" between the father and son. After all, there is no imperial history here to supervise the hundred officials!
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said lightly: "I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if the princes have been lazy, you need to know that knowledge is the foundation of governing the country and the root of the way." I called you here today to test your knowledge, and you will answer well, if you don't do well, the family law will not spare you! Do you understand? ”
Zhao Hao paused, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Of course, he is a stingy person for his father, so he naturally does not hesitate to reward." This is a reward that you have always wanted. ”
The princes couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and the rewards for the usual school exams were nothing more than some jade pendants, gold and silver objects, etc. Although these rewards are insignificant to the princes, what matters is the opportunity to show their faces in front of their fathers.
But this opportunity is mostly given by the third child, who calls this group of princes, this guy likes literature and history the most. Scholarship is the best among the princes. There seems to be something special this time. Could it be a pass token in the palace?
No wonder the princes are thinking wildly, although they are father and son, but the father-son rules of this day are different from ordinary families. Even if it is his own father, the prince who has been out of the cabinet has to hand a sign to the palace if he wants to see his father. Wait until the emperor is in a good mood and have time to get a reply, and meet at a certain time and place. If the opportunity is not good, it is normal to wait for ten days and a half months.
What is the difference between usually indulging you and being strategic, and not being able to behave? The only strange thing is why Xiaoliu also came to this school exam, and this Xiaoliu hasn't been out of the cabinet yet. Usually the princes who go out of the cabinet are examined by the professors in the palace, which is strange, the father thinks that the battle between the sons is not chaotic enough, and he has to add one?
Suddenly, the faces of the princes were different, some were confident in themselves, such as the third prince Zhao, and the second prince said with a smug face. Like the emperor's eldest son, who likes martial arts and doesn't like literature, his face is bitter. looked at the third child's gaze and was indignant, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't openly oppose it: the father is unfair, and the third child has the ability to fight alone.
And the prince's face is not obvious, he can't pass every school exam, and he has long lost the idea of earning face in this area.
Zhao Hao sat on a high place and took in the reactions of the princes, and also focused on Zhao Ming, the sixth son of the emperor, and became angry when he saw his indifferent appearance, "There are two questions in today's exam, Master Zhen, send them the first question." Zhao Hao retracted his gaze and commanded lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhen Peng, a scholar from Hanlin, saluted the emperor, and then distributed the topic prepared yesterday, and his own little eunuch brought pen and ink tables and chairs without mentioning it.
