The Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall are opposite, both located in the outer courts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is the place where the Son of Heaven speaks daily and every day.

The scale of the banquet is relatively large, and there are many civil officials and hundreds of officials who participate, and they speak on both sides during the ten days, and they do not talk about it in winter and summer, and the scale of the daily lecture is much smaller, and the officials participate in it less.

At this moment, in the Wenhua Palace, it is being preached.

The Japanese lecturer revised Wang Jiaping, revised Huang Fengxiang, read Zhu Geng, and the prince of the country supervised the wine Xu Guo, and was preaching Mencius for the Son of Heaven in turn.

And Sanfu Shen Shixing, standing on the side of the Son of Heaven at the moment, according to the rules, whether it is a feast or a daily lecture, there must be a cabinet minister to serve the Son of Heaven, and the overseer will speak for the Son of Heaven.

"Mencius told King Qi Xuan: The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. "Hanlin attendant Zhu Geng explained to the Son of Heaven there.

The little emperor straightened his back, and on the imperial table in front of him was the book of Mencius, and the lecturer Zhu Geng was separated from him by a table, holding a golden ruler and drawing the place where the book was read for the Son of Heaven.

Listening to these Hanlin lectures every day, the little emperor couldn't help but feel bored, but under the supervision of the ministers, he didn't dare to be absent, and even lost his manners. Now the little emperor has listened to several Japanese lecturers for more than an hour, his eyelids are a little heavy, and he can't close them, and he has to forcibly endure the urge to yawn, which is really bitter.

"Please follow Weichen and read it again."

The little emperor blinked, cheered up, and read: "Mencius told King Qi Xuan: The king regards his ministers as brothers and sisters......

He remembered that once when Zhang Juzheng presided over a daily lecture, the little emperor pronounced the "bo" of Sebo Ruye as the sound of "back".

Zhang Juzheng corrected sharply: "Take it as a word!"

At that time, Zhang Juzheng's voice was stern, which frightened the little emperor and almost fell off the dragon chair, and even the ministers serving on the side scolded Zhang Juzheng for the actions of the Son of Heaven. And there is no surprise.

Since then, the shadow has fallen in the heart of the little emperor, and the fear of childhood has been lingering, no matter in the day, when reading the feast, he is trembling, and he does not dare to make mistakes.

After Zhu Geng finished speaking, at this time, Sun Long, the eunuch of the celebrant and eunuch, was holding a scroll of holy decrees. and came to the temple.

"Your Majesty, this is a holy decree sent by the Zhongshu Division, and it is necessary to edict the subjects of the world at the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners."

There is only one person in the world who can edict the hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, and that is the Son of Heaven, which is a power that no one can encroach on.

When there is nothing to do, the imperial court will not have an edict a year, and generally only when there is a major matter, the edict will be issued, and this is peaceful and wide. It is also the merit of the prosperous era, and the edict of leveling is to show the people of the world that the Ming Dynasty is thriving and prosperous, as well as the martial arts.

Of course, the little emperor attaches great importance to this matter, otherwise he would not mention it to Zhang Siwei and other ministers at the banquet. Therefore, as soon as the little emperor heard the holy decree presented by the Chinese calligraphy, he came to the spirit and said: "Sun Long quickly read it to me and all the ministers. ”

"Slave Command."

The edict presented by the Chinese calligraphy department is made of bright yellow silk brocade, painted with auspicious clouds and cranes, and the left and right are jade shafts.

Sun Long slowly unfolded the moment and said, "Fengtian carries the emperor." The edict said, I serve the Hugh of the first emperor. Sleep at night, can't candle brightly, and re-...... immorality"

Shen Shixing and several Japanese speakers have not heard of the edict drafted by Hanlin on duty before, and Zhang Juzheng beat it back one by one.

Zhang Juzheng has always been harsh with his subordinates, and the same is true for other official affairs. Therefore, it also suffered the Hanlin and Zhongshu people who drafted the edict for him. Those splendid articles of the Hanlin people, but they have become mediocre works to him, this time the edict is very important, and it is not easy to finally present it at this moment.

The edict was read. Wang Jiaping immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, this edict is enough to show my name of great Ming benevolence, and it will spread thousands of miles away!" ”

The keynote speaker Zhu Geng also came out of class, and said with a little excitement on his face: "Your Majesty's edict can be described as a clear royal way and a righteous country. ”

Huang Fengxiang and Xu Guo also said together: "Your Majesty, this edict can be used." ”

The little emperor was also shocked after hearing this, Fang Cai's drowsiness was gone, and he only remembered the words and sentences in the edict that were hammered into his heart word by word, such an article was good, but he didn't know how good it was.

So the little emperor asked his teacher Shen Shixing for advice and asked: "I am also surprised and speechless, Shen Qing, what do you think is good about this edict?" ”

Shen Shixing saluted the little emperor and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this edict can inspire people's hearts, boost the morale of the people, raise the prestige of the country, and shock the state." ”

The little emperor nodded and said: "What Shen Qing said is very true, the ancients said, a word can prosper the country, and the article can be Huaguo, probably like this." ”

The five ministers saluted in unison and said, "Your Majesty." ”

The little emperor asked Sun Long, "Which Hanlin sees grass in this article?" Could it be Mr. Zhang's own handwriting? ”

Sun Long said: "Back to Your Majesty, it was not written by Mr. Zhang, I heard the people in the Chinese calligraphy department say that it is Lin Yanchao, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who sees the grass for the Son of Heaven. ”

The little emperor felt a little familiar, and then remembered, "It's Lin Yanchao of the three yuan and the first!" ”

All the ministers said together: "Your Majesty is the new champion you appointed, this edict shows Your Majesty's wisdom when he first took the palace examination!" ”

After listening to the sycophants of several ministers, the young little emperor was suddenly happy. The little emperor showed a look of remembrance and said: "At the beginning, he said in the Jinluan Palace, the barren pine and cypress, the poor family reads, I have always remembered it, but I haven't heard his name for half a year, he has already gone to the Wenyuan Pavilion to offer service." ”

After hearing this, several Hanlin knew that the emperor was wrong, but they didn't dare to correct it. Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, Lin Zonghai, will be on duty in the near future." ”

The little emperor listened and said: "I want to use this person's article, bring pen and ink." ”

After speaking, the eunuch on the side presented the four treasures of the above room, and the little emperor took the pen and left the throne, turned around and came to the screen behind the throne, and wrote the three words 'Lin Yanchao' on the screen, and then added the word 'Wen' to the back.

Historically, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wrote down the names of important officials on the screen and wrote down the deeds of these officers and soldiers for future promotion.

When the little emperor first took on the great treasure, he also learned this method of Tang Taizong.

All the eunuchs were surprised, the names of the officials recorded on the screen of the Son of Heaven were only a dozen people, and the lowest was also a fourth-grade official, and Lin Yanchao's sixth-grade revision was also written on it.

"Imperial Treasure!" Sun Long said.

His Royal Highness's Shang Bao Si and Shang Bao Jian officials said yes together, and then went to ask Bao Xi.

After the treasure seal box was presented to the palace, the yellow satin cover was opened, and Huang Long took out the treasure seal from the box, printed it with vermilion mud, and placed it in a corner of the imperial table.

The two eunuchs unfolded the bright yellow edict inch by inch and presented it on the imperial table, and the little prince covered the edict with a treasure seal. (To be continued.) )
