Chapter 320: Officially Accepted Disciples

The apprenticeship of the imperial prince is worthy of this pomp. Zhang Zheng silently watched Li Shimin's Luan drive approach, and did not step forward to greet him for the first time.

Today he is a different identity than ever. Today, Li Shimin is just a father who wants his son to become a Chan. And Zhang Zheng will become Li Shimin

This is one of the "Jackie Chans".

The teacher of the "child". Li Shimin's Luan drove to a halt not far in front of Zhang Zheng. After Li Shimin stepped down, Zhang Zheng got up to greet him.

"Wechen to meet Your Majesty, to meet the Queen, to meet His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Be cautious, flat." Li Shimin helped Zhang Zheng for a moment, and then waved to the palace guard behind him. Then some palace people stepped forward, first put tributes in front of Lao Li Gang's tomb, and then began to set up incense cases and other things.

Zhang Zheng quietly watched the palace guards busy, and also took in the expressions on the faces of the people who came today. Li Shimin's face was gentle, the eldest grandson smiled, Li Chengqian's face showed a hint of smugness, and the little fat man Li Tai hid behind the eldest grandson and made a strange grimace at Zhang Zheng.

The two prime ministers of the empire, seeing that the cemetery of Lao Li Gang was still the same as when he was first buried, couldn't help but nod at Zhang Zheng with relief.

The word "filial piety", Zhang Zheng can be said to have achieved the ultimate. After glancing at the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Zheng turned around and entered the filial piety hall and took out a small Mazha and brought out a bowl of water.

came to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the filial piety hall is simple, only a bowl of clear water to talk about respect." Li Shimin smiled slightly, reached out and took the bowl of water brought by Zhang Zheng, and drank it all in the worried expressions of everyone.

"Sweet Clearing." Li Shimin raised his sleeve, wiped his mouth, replied with a smile, and then returned the bowl to Zhang Zheng.

sat on the pony that Zhang Zheng moved out, and asked Zhang Zheng: "Shenzhi, you are only seventeen years old this year, you are about to accept apprentices, how do you feel?" "Well, if you want to talk about feelings, Zhang Zheng doesn't feel anything, after all, these are students who have been teaching for more than a year, and it makes sense to give a name.

And they have been together for more than a year, and the two are too familiar. So Zhang Zheng replied honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't feel anything, but if the minister's mentor has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely feel very gratified." ”

"Oh, hahahaha, this is also true, Lao Li Gang has vain, and it is time to be blind." Li Shimin laughed for a while, very satisfied with Zhang Zheng's answer.

Even Zhang Zheng was a little more satisfied. What a good child, affectionate and righteous to his friends, pure and filial to his elders, dedicated to his disciples, and loyal to the country.

It's just that this temperament occasionally makes it a headache. However, in Li Shimin's view, this is not a big problem.

When he was young, his temperament was not much better than Zhang Zheng, but now he has become the master of this huge empire, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, whom everyone admires.

Li Shimin believes in his own means and also believes in Zhang Zheng's ability. In less than twenty years, this kid will definitely be polished by himself into what he wants.

Zhang Zheng responded to Li Shimin's smile, and then remained silent. Now the relationship between the two is very delicate, and the estrangement between the two has not dissipated because of the death of Lao Li Gang.

But he is about to become the teacher of his second son, and finally he will marry his daughter. Well, this relationship is really complicated enough, what should we do in the future?

Zhang Zheng suddenly wanted to take a rocking car, the kind of two yuan at a time. With the palace people placing the incense case and other things, today's apprenticeship ceremony has officially begun.

The worship ceremony is an auspicious ceremony, and the ancients paid attention to respecting the teacher, and it should be accompanied by grand rituals and music. However, considering that Zhang Zheng's filial piety period has not yet expired, it is because Li Shimin did not bring a court musician.

However, although the scene looks shabby, it also depends on who is watching the ceremony. The emperor, the crown prince, and the prime minister are all here.

Even if there are no steps, this apprenticeship is destined to go down in history. Under the praise of the ceremonial officer, Li Shimin took Li Tai forward and came to the incense case.

Zhang Zheng also knelt on the cushion set up next to the incense table. Li Shimin, as Li Tai's father, is not a king at the moment.

I saw Li Shimin take out the apprenticeship sticker from his arms with a solemn expression, and said to Zhang Zheng: "I have a son today, and I have the heart to learn from the ...... when I am in the age of the general horn."

After Zhang Zheng took the apprenticeship sticker, Li Shimin retreated. Zhang Zheng got up and took Li Tai's hand and took him to the tomb of old Li Gang.

Li Tai worships Li Gang's lineage, because he still needs to worship his ancestor first. After nine knocks, Li Tai got up.

Back in front of the incense case, Zhang Zheng continued to kneel and sit down. This time Li Tai knelt in front of Zhang Zheng, and after three knocks, the palace people handed over the six ceremonies.

The so-called six rites and discipline cultivation are the six kinds of gifts given by disciples to the master during the ancient worship ceremony. They are, celery: meaning diligent and studious, good at diligence; Lotus seed: Lotus seed has a bitter heart, meaning painstaking education.

Red beans: meaning red luck; Red dates: meaning early in high school; Longan: It means the perfection of merit; Strips of bacon: to express the disciple's heart.

The word "Shu Xiu" is interpreted by some as ten strips of dried meat. According to the record of "The Book of Rites: Shaoyi": "It is given to people with a pot of wine, a bundle of repairs, and a dog." Zheng Xuan's note: "Shu Xiu, ten chests also." "Shu Xiu existed before the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was already in the Analects of Confucius

"I have not been without teachings if I have cultivated the above on my own." After Li Tai offered six salutes, Zhang Zheng stroked the top of his head and taught earnestly: "Qingque, once you have entered my door, the first thing to know is the order of learning: erudition, interrogation, contemplation, discernment, and practice. Second, we must clarify the essentials of self-cultivation: be faithful in words, be respectful in deeds, punish resuffocation and suffocation, and change for the better. Third, we must understand the essentials of doing things: we should be friendly and not seek their benefits, and we should know their ways regardless of their merits. In this way, we will live up to your master and apprentice. After Zhang Zhengxun finished speaking, Li Tai bowed again and replied: "Obey the teacher's teachings, Tai will live up to the teacher's kindness." After Zhang Zhengxun finished speaking, the apprenticeship ceremony was actually completed, and the two officially had the name of master and apprentice.

Next are the last two small programs, with Li Shimin's signal, there are palace people to put a copper basin on the incense case.

This step is called hand purification and heart purification. After the student has bowed to the teacher, he or she should put his hand in the basin of water as the teacher asks

Clean Hands.

The washing method of "clean hands" is to wash the front and back once, and then wipe them dry. The meaning of washing hands is to clean hands and hearts, remove miscellaneous essence, and hope to concentrate and have no distractions in future studies.

According to Zhang Zheng's request, Li Tai knelt in front of the incense table after washing his hands. Another palace person brought cinnabar and a vermilion pen, Zhang Zheng took the vermilion pen, gently wiped it on the cinnabar, and then pointed towards Li Tai's eyebrows.

Li Tai had an extra red dot on his eyebrows. This step is called cinnabar enlightenment, and cinnabar enlightenment is also called cinnabar enlightenment or cinnabar point mole, which is the last procedure in the apprenticeship ceremony.

Because

"Mole" with

"Wisdom" homonym, cinnabar point mole, take in fact

The meaning of "wisdom" means to open wisdom and have clear eyes and bright hearts.
