The occasion for the emperor to really learn knowledge was not a feast, but a daily lecture.

The formal significance of the sutra feast is far greater than the learning significance.

In the Wenhua Palace, a royal case was placed in front of the emperor's throne.

A few steps in front of this imperial case, there is a case.

After Zhu Houxi sat down in the Wenhua Palace, the officials of Honglu Temple first put the handouts on the imperial case.

"Let's get started." Zhu Houxi nodded, and the praise official began to spread the news that others had entered the hall.

Cabinet Scholar, Six Scholars, Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, General Political Envoy, Honglu Temple...... Most of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court are here.

Even Luo An, who was temporarily the commander of the Jinyi Guard, came here.

At this moment, the chanter was announcing the process of the feast, and all the people who participated in it were already standing on both sides of the front of the imperial case.

Yan Song and Liu Long, the living officials, are ready to take place, and Huang Jin, the head of the internal file department, doesn't have to remember anything today.

Normally, the emperor at the banquet only listens quietly and does not get involved in any other political affairs.

If the Son of Heaven is not dignified and does not pay attention to manners, the speaker will immediately stop preaching and ask solemnly: "Is it disrespectful to be a king?" ”

Theoretically, the emperor only needs to say one word during the whole process.

That is, after the feast, the emperor said: "Mr. eats wine".

Then it's time for the feast.

So there's a reason why my cousin doesn't hold a sutra feast.

The sutra feast is to use very cumbersome interests, a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and a pilgrimage-like learning content to let the imperial power express its respect for Confucianism and etiquette.

The signal it transmits is much more sensitive than whether it is an heir, and it is related to the world's scholars to consider whether there is meat to eat with you.

The handouts are approved by the Cabinet.

The two lecturers, Yang Tinghe, who stood on the left, was responsible for talking about the four books, and Shi Xuan, who was standing on the right, was responsible for talking about history.

Next to the two of them, there are two exhibition officers, Yang Shen and Zhang Bi.

Yang Tinghe started first, and Yang Shenhui was responsible for unfolding the handouts on the bookcase and flattening them with a copper ruler to facilitate Yang Ting's use.

After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he and Yang Shen would return to their original positions and step forward for Shi Xuan and Zhang Bi.

After the process is announced, the feast officially begins.

From Zhu Houxi's arrival here, to the subsequent passage to His Majesty's meeting with the Emperor, and then to the subsequent reading of the sutra feast, the whole process was very quiet, and no one spoke or made any indecent sounds.

In the long process of experience, if anyone does not clean up the stomach and intestines in advance to add some atmosphere to the feast, then they will basically say goodbye to the great future.

The solemnity and sacredness of the sutra feast can be seen at a glance.

"What the minister is preaching for His Majesty today is the way of the sage in the twenty-seventh chapter of "The Mean".

The first lecturer, Yang Tinghe, stepped forward and started, and Yang Shen had already opened the handout for him and flattened it.

What he said was "the way of the great sage, the ocean is full, the development of all things, the extreme in the sky, the excellent and great, the etiquette is three hundred, the majesty is three thousand, and the people will do it later." ”

Extending from one sentence, it is followed by nearly 1,000 words.

Yang Tinghe has been speaking in a loud and standard official language, speaking slowly and solemnly.

At the same time, he also observed the emperor's reaction.

Naturally, Yang Tinghe was not the only one who observed the emperor with an uneasy mood.

The current Yan Song has mixed feelings for the emperor.

The emperor, who was so aggressive on the issue of legal system before, is completely a respectful and studious young man at the banquet today.

These are all okay, Yan Song just roared in his heart: What about the living note on the day that he said it was good? What about my day?

After yesterday, Yan Song was 100% convinced: Your Majesty can win!

With that kind of composure and overall view, the emperor who has shown his skills, eloquence and courage at the best time of the first court meeting and knows how to restrain himself, the future court will definitely only revolve around him.

When the feast is opened, when will the daily lecture begin?

“…… Emperor Fu Wei with the capital of a saint, preaching the way of a saint, occupying the position of the way, and exercising the right to praise and educate the heavens and the earth, the peace of the ancient Restoration, and the end of the heresy are expected to flourish today. The ministers are overwhelmed. ”

It wasn't until a long time later that Yang Tinghe's speech ended here, and he retreated to the left side of the lecture with an awe-inspiring salute in his heart.

"Be taught." Zhu Houxi only said this.

Restore the peaceful scene of ancient times, and get rid of the heresy of Confucianism or the science that prevails today.

This is what Yang Tinghe wants him to do when he talks about this thing.

Zhu Houxi was listening, but he was only listening.

Shi Xuan stepped forward, and Yang Tinghe quieted down and looked at Zhu Houxi.

Judging from the performance of today's feast, the emperor ...... Picture perfect.

A serious and serious learning attitude!

He didn't even make a fuss!

Until Shi Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Houxi still didn't make trouble.

I didn't get impatient or ask anything.

To be pure is to be seriously crammed.

"Sir eats wine."

As these words are spoken, the feast begins, and the main part of the feast ends here.

The emperor had already returned to the palace, Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji exchanged glances, and exchanged glances with Liang Chu, Jiang Mian and others.

It's so calm that they don't get used to it.

Outside the Wenhua Palace, next to the Zuoshun Gate, the other Hanlin scholars and officials felt a little disappointed in their hearts: the emperor did not promote anyone today.

Between the small circle of important ministers in the court, Liang Chu smiled kindly: "Your Majesty is very committed to learning, which is a good thing." ”

Look, there is one more proof of the reputation of the wise.

There was also a meaning in the eyes he exchanged with Yang Tinghe and the others: The disaster of the Rijing Gate seemed to be as if it had never happened, what kind of concentration?

Yang Tinghe felt indescribable in his heart.

The emperor's observance of the ritual constraints of the sutra represents the observance of the ritual system advocated by the dynasty.

Could it be that as said at the court meeting over there, he is very aware that he is shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining the etiquette system and maintaining the glory and wealth of all the people in the order of the mountain, so he is not like Emperor Zhengde?

Of course, even Emperor Zhengde would not express any dissatisfaction at the sutra banquet at the beginning, he only targeted some people afterwards, and later simply stopped holding the sutra feast.

Yang Tinghe stress reaction is here again.

I'm afraid that he will make trouble, and I am afraid that he will not make trouble!

He, Yang Tinghe, had typed countless drafts today, but none of them were used, and the emperor finished the course of the sutra feast so unremarkably.

Is this still the Son of Heaven who made a big mistake about etiquette that day?

Or was it that the ministers surrendered to the holy will yesterday after Qian Ning and Jiang Bin had no family resources?

The gentleman is unpredictable.

Zhu Houxi, who returned to the Qianqing Palace, hummed silently in his heart, "I should do my best to perform with you", while changing clothes.

The bigger the leader, the more superficial occasions.

Zhu Houxi understands this.

What the sutra feast represents, Zhou Zhao and Yuan Zonggao have told him.

If Zhu Houxi behaves deviantly at the sutra feast, it will touch on the most essential question of this era: the literati in the world who read the Four Books and the Five Classics and obey the teachings of etiquette and law, do you want to cut off their way up?

The times are such times, and Zhu Houxi really has to rely on these people to do things.

The breaking of the monopoly of knowledge and the change of thinking are all measured in decades or even centuries.

Moreover, it is a good thing to understand their way of thinking and the basis of their learning from the scriptures.

If he wants to do anything at the feast, it won't be now.

I don't know how long Wang Shouren will have to enter Beijing.

The ministers who attended the feast enjoyed the feast: according to the rules, it was also possible to pack things and share them with their families.

This is the disciple's offering to the "Master".

And Zhu Houyu was already looking at the backlog of yesterday and the new submissions today, and when he saw Wang Qiong's request to reuse Sun Jiao, Zhu Houxi's face showed a hint of strangeness.

He turned his head and asked, "Who have gone to Wang Qiong's mansion these days to post and visit?" ”

“…… The slave and maid went and asked. ”

Zhang Zuo, who was hastily asked, was suddenly agitated and confessed in a trembling voice.

Zhu Houxi disagreed: "There are many things in a row, you and Luo An need time to straighten out the factory guard, and it is right to ask immediately if you don't know." Check the behavior of the ministers in Beijing, and the focus is to see which of the former ministers of the Qiandi have seen Wang Qiong in the past few days. ”

Despite the cooperation of Wei Bin and Zhang Yong, it is not easy for Zhang Zuo and Luo An, two newcomers, to hold both inside and outside in a short period of time.

The news from the factory guard side needs to be summarized, and the eunuch who is currently in charge of the factory guard also needs to run in with Zhang Zuo.

What things will the emperor focus on, in addition to the daily report, Zhang Zuo also needs time to distinguish the key points.

The most important thing is that he needs to have that good brain, and remember all the other minor things that are not written in the report, in case the emperor can ask about it at any time.

Zhang Zuo, who had been beaten before, and now he was forgiven, was agitated in his heart, and hurriedly saluted and went to do something.

After Zhu Houxi waited for him to leave, he asked: "Huang Jin, Qingping, do many people know about the dealings between my father and Sun Shangshu back then, especially the matter between me and the daughter of the Sun family?" ”
