Chapter 2 Officials eat wine every night
"How can you have a headache, hurry up and send the imperial doctor!"
After Zhu Yijun came to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom, he heard from the Empress Dowager Li that the Empress Dowager had a little headache, so he got up late and pretended to be worried.
"Yes!"
And Zhu Yijun didn't wait long outside the palace here, and the Empress Dowager Li asked people to open the palace door: "Emperor, come in." ”
Zhu Yijun therefore walked in and saluted the Empress Dowager Li: "The emperor greets the queen mother!" ”
Empress Dowager Li nodded and asked, "Can you go to Ciqing Palace?" ”
Zhu Yijun has two mothers, a mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Chen, and a biological mother, Empress Dowager Li.
Unlike her biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, who taught her son very strictly and lived in the Qianqing Palace with the emperor, her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Chen, was more willing to pamper Zhu Yijun and not interfere more in educating the emperor.
According to historical records, Empress Dowager Chen often rejoiced when Zhu Yijun came to ask for peace.
Empress Dowager Chen also didn't care about the government, so she took the initiative to choose to live in Ciqing Palace, which was farther away from the Qianqing Palace, in order to avoid the two queens from the same palace.
Empress Dowager Chen is interesting, Empress Dowager Li also knows etiquette, and she doesn't dare to let her emperor's son snub Empress Dowager Chen in etiquette, Rao is herself also maintains respect for Empress Dowager Chen.
Therefore, the first question asked by Empress Dowager Li now was not whether Zhu Yijun was hungry or not, but whether he slept well, but asked him first and did not go to greet Empress Dowager Chen.
It is worth mentioning that when Emperor Longqing was there, because Empress Dowager Chen, who was still the queen at the time, hated Emperor Longqing, and was ordered by Emperor Longqing to move to another palace, which was equivalent to entering the cold palace, but Empress Dowager Li was more favored and often accompanied Emperor Longqing.
Therefore, when Zhu Yijun was still the crown prince, he would first greet Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Li.
And until now that Emperor Longqing has died, Zhu Yijun has become the emperor, and in order to show his virtue of etiquette, the Li family still asked Zhu Yijun to ask his mother first, and then to his biological mother.
When the words turned back, because the Empress Dowager Li asked like this, Zhu Yijun replied: "The emperor has already gone, and the queen mother also rewarded the emperor with a hot heart." ”
Only then did Empress Dowager Li laugh: "My son knows the courtesy!" ”
After Zhu Yijun finished asking for peace, accompanied by the chamberlain, he first returned to the Qianqing Palace and prepared to go to the Wenhua Hall to participate in the scripture feast.
At that time, the great eunuch Feng Bao had already obtained the order of the Empress Dowager Li and came to Wenhuamen.
The ministers who participated in the feast were already waiting here at this time, and they all raised their heads when they saw Feng Baoling's inner servants come out.
Feng Bao had also gone straight to Shoufu Zhang Juzheng at this time, and whispered a few words in Zhang Juzheng's ear.
Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "So early?!" ”
Then, Zhang Juzheng whispered to Lu Tiaoyang, a bachelor on the side: "The husband of Shicai has come to say in the Empress Dowager's mercy, and today he took the initiative to get up early because of the feast, and now he has gone to the two palaces to ask for peace, and he will come to the Wenhua Palace." ”
Lu Tiaoyang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is studious, and he has the image of a holy monarch!" ”
Then, Lu Tiaoyang looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle, this is a good sign!" ”
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head.
To the monarch Yu Yaoshun is the highest ideal of the scholars, and the beginning of the realization of this ideal is to let His Majesty the Emperor complete a good feast.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng and Lu Tiaoyang were both happy because Zhu Yijun was so active in the feast.
The other ministers did the same, all looking up at the front, letting the snowflakes fall in front of them, and only staring at Zhumen with blazing eyes, waiting for their emperor to appear.
Squeak.
Squeak.
The Han generals who guarded the imperial chariot held papayas, stepped on the broken jade, and uniformly escorted Zhu Yijun on the imperial chariot to the Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun, who was squinting, was a lot more relaxed after seeing the Empress Dowager Li, and even listened to this voice as if he was listening to music, and seemed to have been intoxicated by it.
When he arrived at the Wenhua Hall and sat down facing south, and bursts of incense drifted with the cold wind, Zhu Yijun opened his eyes.
In the Ming generation, officials attending sutra feasts were required to bathe in incense before attending sutra feasts.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Yijun came, he smelled a fragrant fragrance first.
At first glance, he saw that there was already a bookcase in front of him, and the lecturers had already entered, with big red robes and green brocade clothes, which were very eye-catching in the fluttering snow.
Zhu Yijun didn't say a word, but silently watched these lecturers divide into two shifts, east and west, and according to the memory of the original owner, looking for Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng didn't notice that the emperor was looking at him, and he also stood silently to the side at this time.
The first to speak were the officials of Honglu Temple.
After the officials of Honglu Temple took the ministers to salute and announce their speeches, only two lecturers came out from the east and west classes, stood side by side to the north in front of the imperial lecture, and then bowed and kowtowed, ready to speak.
Zhu Yijun is like watching a documentary, looking at all this from the perspective of the audience, he only feels fresh and not impatient.
After all, he had only heard that there was a sutra system in the Ming Dynasty before, but he didn't know what the sutra feast was like.
At this time, Zhu Yijun saw the exhibition clerk come forward and unfold the book for Zhu Yijun in front of the imperial case, and the lecturer standing on the east side immediately began to go to the front of the case to tell Zhu Yijun the content of the four books to be talked about today, and then, the lecturer on the west side also came to report which part of the scripture and history he wanted to talk about.
Zhu Yijun didn't know until later that he dared to say that the lecturer on the east side would talk about the four books, and the lecturer on the west side would talk about the history of the scriptures, and then after the four books on the east side, he would lecture on the history of the scriptures from the west side.
Because it was the first time to participate in the sutra feast, he was naturally curious about it, so Zhu Yijun listened carefully, and the lecturer asked him to read it, and he read it, and let him explain it.
Zhu Yijun also secretly sighed that fortunately, because the original owner himself started studying at the age of four, but with the help of the inner servant, he had already laid the foundation of Confucianism, so he was able to deal with it calmly at this time.
It's just that Zhu Yijun secretly felt that he, the emperor, was still like a puppet throughout the whole process, just mechanically completing a teaching activity with these lecturers.
The content of the teaching is also to understand the content of the Four Books of Classics and History according to Zhu Xi's meaning.
For Zhu Yijun, who came from later generations and has been trained by society to focus only on utilitarianism, the harvest is limited, and the symbolic meaning of the ritual is greater than the practical significance.
But in the eyes of civil officials, the emperor's performance at this time can be said to be perfect!
It was as if their hunger and cold had not been in vain this morning! One by one, they were in high spirits, as if they were pretending to be a big force in front of the emperor, and they were so happy, and they seemed to be moved by how much the emperor gave him.
Lu Tiaoyang is a sentimental character, and he has already looked at Zhang Juzheng with tears in his eyes: "The Son of Heaven is only ten years old, and he is so serious about participating in the scripture feast, and his voice is loud and graceful!" Its gods have dreamed of the true heavens! ”
Shoufu Zhang Juzheng still looked calm.
As the officials of Honglu Temple knelt in the middle of the class, after the praise was completed, the lecture was over, and the officials of the two classes also turned to the north.
Zhu Yijun finally opened his mouth at this time and said: "Officials eat wine every night." ”
This sentence is what the emperor should say at this time according to the banquet system, and Zhu Yijun doesn't know why he would call the speaker an official like this.
But the meaning is naturally clear, it is nothing more than that the emperor wants to invite everyone to breakfast.
As the name suggests, in addition to preaching, there is also a feast.
After Zhu Yijun said this, the ministers who participated in the sutra feast knelt down to accept the decree, and then went to the noon gate to eat the breakfast prepared by Guanglu Temple.
The breakfast at the feast was not delicious, but today Lu Tiaoyang ate it with relish, and whispered to Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting in the same university seat as him: "Uncle, although the Son of Heaven is young, he already has the image of a Ming Jun. Like Feng Bao, you should go! ”
Because Feng Bao framed Gao Gong in the case of Minister Wang, the civil officials had long been dissatisfied with Feng Bao, so today Lu Tiaoyang said this to Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng was not surprised.
But Zhang Juzheng was speechless.
Civil officials do not tolerate eunuchs, especially authoritarian eunuchs, which has existed since the beginning of the orthodox dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng also knew this, but he had other considerations now, so it was naturally not good to answer Lu Tiaoyang at this time.
Lu Tiaoyang saw that he was speechless, and it was difficult to speak again.
Zhu Yijun naturally didn't know that because his performance at the banquet was too in line with the psychological expectations of the civil officials, Lu Tiaoyang began to hope that Zhang Juzheng would take the civil officials to overthrow Feng.
Zhu Yijun had returned to the Qianqing Palace at this time, and was ready to review his homework and write.
It is impossible to play as soon as he returns to the dormitory, because Zhang Juzheng will ask him to recite what he said today the next day, if he memorizes it smoothly, he will be praised, but if it is not smooth, he will be severely reprimanded, and even make a small report to the Empress Dowager Li through Feng Bao, and the Empress Dowager Li is more ruthless than Zhang Juzheng, and will directly make him kneel.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only review his homework and practice calligraphy first.
Fortunately, Zhu Yijun is not bad at memorizing skills in later generations, but he quickly memorized what he said today, and relying on his good memory, he found that the lecturer made a mistake in the scripture feast.
After memorizing what he said today, he still has to practice calligraphy, and Zhu Yijun didn't spend too much time because of this.
What's more, for his mental age, he is actually no longer a young man, and he doesn't feel too boring about writing, and he doesn't take his heart too seriously.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can now concentrate more when practicing calligraphy, and he can write faster.
After finishing writing, Zhu Yijun went out of the palace gate, ready to stretch his muscles.
But as soon as he left the palace gate, Zhu Yijun found that the deacons and eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace, Sun Hai, Wei Chao and other eunuchs had knelt outside the hall.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking, "Why are you kneeling?" ”
