The first year of Zhengde, February.

In the cabinet, Xie Qian is "preparing for class".

The daily lecture is about to be held, and he is the speaker this time.

He attaches great importance to this daily lecture.

In the winter of last year, in fact, the feast had already started at the request of the ministers, but Zhu Houzhao was very uninterested in this matter, and after listening to it for a month, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he suspended it on the grounds that it was cold, and not long ago, they had just brought up the old matter again.

The so-called "the care of the deputy emperor, and the consolation of the subjects", the cabinet ministers also knew that the Zhengde Emperor did not want to see this scripture feast, but with such a pressure, Zhu Houzhao did not want to obey, and he had to obey, so the scripture feast was reopened.

The banquet is divided into a lecture and a daily lecture, and all the ministers of the court must arrive, which is more similar to a performance, indicating the emperor's importance to Confucianism. Yesterday's meeting was a lecture, which was more of a formality, and all the talks were about the great truth, the way of the ancient sages, and there was no substantive content. The Japanese lecture is the key point of instilling Confucianism and the concept of governing the country in the emperor.

Especially recently, Emperor Zhengde's behavior seems to have deviated more and more from the "way of the holy monarch", not only especially like to ride and shoot everything, but also often linger in the garden, and often go out of the palace in micro-clothes, for learning and handling some things such as government affairs, is very lazy.

This is a dangerous signal, just take advantage of this opportunity to turn this young emperor around.

Xie Qian thought like this, and prepared for class more seriously.

However, at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, Liu Jian walked in angrily, and when he saw Xie Qian who was preparing for the course, he immediately spoke, and his tone was full of resentment:

"Yu Qiao (Xie Qianzi Yu Qiao), there is no need to prepare, this time His Majesty wants to hear about the old affairs of the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, and has invited Chen Guogong to be a lecturer, and he has just ordered someone to inform us that there is no need to go!"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang on the side were stunned when they heard this.

"However, isn't it customary to talk about a subset of scriptures and history, Confucian classics?" Xie Qian said suspiciously.

"Yes! His Majesty said that he wanted to listen to "Spring and Autumn", and he asked me rhetorically, isn't "Spring and Autumn" a scripture? What can I say, how can I say it??? ”

Liu Jian was furious, even in the face of two colleagues, he spoke very urgently, he was originally upright, and now the emperor's behavior made him angry.

"If you really talk about "Spring and Autumn", that's it, there is also a way to govern the country in it. However, let Chen Guogong talk about it, let him talk about it...... What does that mean? Can't we talk about it? Your Majesty's heart is clear! He just wanted to listen to the conquests of the Spring and Autumn Period, instead of learning my Confucian etiquette thoughts, the way of Confucius! ”

"This day speaks, this day speaks...... It's just nonsense, nonsense! ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian stayed where they were, they didn't react for a while, such a situation had never happened, their heads fell into chaos for a while, and their hearts were full of disbelief.

After a while, Xie Qian finally reacted, and he shouted angrily:

"It's ridiculous!"

"Whose idea was it?"

"Who else can it be, by Your Majesty's side, the 'Eight Dogs' headed by the internal official supervisor Liu Jin!"

……

Yan Yuan was actually very confused, when he was summoned to the palace by the emperor, he didn't know what he was going to do, he just thought that His Majesty had something to discuss with him.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the ground, I looked up: the emperor was sitting at his desk, and several eunuchs were waiting next to him, which was the "Eight Tigers" under Emperor Zhengde.

But Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand the feast, so he made this decision.

Yesterday it was a lecture, and it was like a ceremony, and he didn't dare to escape, so he listened obediently.

But listen, the emperor almost fell asleep on that solemn occasion. Today's day, he really couldn't stand it, so Liu Jin and others came up with this bad idea for him.

I don't have to say who will talk about it.

And after Yan Yuan heard their request, his first reaction was to refuse:

"Your Majesty, the minister is a military minister, not good at words, such a thing, you should leave it to the ministers, Lord Xie said, it must be better than the minister. This, you let the minister say, and the minister can't say why! If you mislead Your Majesty, the minister will die and will not be redeemed. ”

He smiled wryly and looked embarrassed.

"Those civil officials will be full of mouths, always want to teach me to do things, I don't like to listen, I want to listen to you."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, his face full of expectation.

He was actually very interested in history, and of course, he was not at all interested in the allusions that the civil officials said were full of great truths.

But Yan Yuan still had no intention of agreeing.

He could already predict what Zhu Houzhao would be sprayed by the civil officials in the future, although they probably didn't dare to involve him, but why provoke others if he had nothing to do.

Just wanted to continue to excuse himself, but when he looked up, he saw the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

Although there was a smile on his face, those eyes were flickering, and Yan Yuan didn't feel the slightest smile from it, full of solemn expression.

The sixteen-year-old emperor does not seem to be as simple as it seems.

Yan Yuan silently repeated what Emperor Zhengde had just said in his heart, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a different charm in it.

Many of the emperors of the Zhu family ascended the throne when they were teenagers, but none of them were fuel-efficient lamps...... He sighed softly in his heart, he had already made a decision.

When he looked up again, a faint smile appeared on Yan Yuan's face:

"That being the case, Weichen is commanded."

Although he is a martial minister, Yan Yuan's tutoring is absolutely no problem. If you want him to talk about the Confucian classics and the way of some sages, then he will definitely not be able to, but just explaining the "Spring and Autumn Period" and mixing some of his own understandings will not be difficult for him.

And in front of Zhu Houzhao, there is also a copy of "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography" next to "Spring and Autumn", after all, "Spring and Autumn" itself only has some very brief records, you can't see anything just by looking at this, you have to assist Zuo Qiu Ming's annotations.

Yan Yuan just thought about it in his mind for a while, and then blurted out:

"Your Majesty, the minister will tell Your Majesty a "Cao Di Polemic" today!"

Hearing this name, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited, he was very interested in the war, but his lecturers never refused to talk about it, and finally met someone who was willing, and immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

However, after Yan Yuan finished speaking, he seemed to think of some not-so-good memories again, and the expression on his face gradually became a little strange. He slowly opened his mouth, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a chill in his back, as if something bad was going to happen.

However, it was already too late, and Yan Yuan's faint voice seemed to come from the underworld:

"Your Majesty, this, you have to carry it."
