Since Lin Yanchao served as the lecturer of the feast, he has always been an honest exhibition of books, turning books, using a ruler to hold books, and fulfilling his duties, but the little emperor asked in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty on a whim, and Lin Yanchao's first reaction was very happy, which showed that the Son of Heaven appreciated and valued him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you can shake a clever thing, it's not famous in the court!

Lin Yanchao just wanted to answer, but suddenly remembered, please ask Yu Jingyi, this is the matter of the scripture banquet speaker, the day speaker, Lin Yanchao, as the scripture banquet exhibition officer, is not qualified to answer, this is a broken rule.

It's like if you have an expert or professor in front of you, and you don't ask for advice, you have to ask a passer-by.

Of course, Lin Yanchao is not a passerby at the moment, he was born in Sanyuan and the first, and he wrote such masterpieces as "Annotations on Ancient Texts of Shangshu", and when it comes to knowledge, he is not lost to several Japanese lecturers. It's just that Lin Yanchao is not a banquet lecturer after all, and he asks in front of the palace, and he doesn't agree with the etiquette.

The little emperor asked this, and the Manchu ministers were also surprised.

At this moment, Wang Jiaping felt a little comfortable in his heart, the Son of Heaven had already asked his opinion, and he also answered beautifully, but when he asked Lin Yanchao again, didn't he say that he didn't answer well just now.

The rest of the banquet speakers, the Japanese speakers also showed displeasure, the Son of Heaven did not ask them, but asked Lin Yanchao to show that they were not competent. At this moment, the little emperor on the throne seemed to know that he was asking such a question, and Yu Li was not in agreement, but the sound of the Son of Heaven had already fallen, and he categorically did not take back the reason for his fate.

There are deacons at the feast, and the deacons are appointed by the imperial historian, and they are all cheered up at this moment, if Lin Yanchao answers that there is anything unceasing, they can be impeached immediately.

Lin Yanchao didn't answer immediately, but waited for a while, but saw that the ministers on the left and right were 'pretending to be dead' and no one came out to speak.

Lin Yanchao replied with courtesy: "Your Majesty's question is thought-provoking, Weichen has no solution for a while, what the official said can also be called far-sighted, and the Weichen can only solve the doubts, from the words of the king, the prince is concerned with saving the people, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is the most important. ”

After Lin Yanchao's words, all the ministers secretly praised it in their hearts.

Lin Yanchao not only praised the Son of Heaven, but also praised Wang Jiaping. In these words, Lin Yanchao did not pretend to state his own opinions, but diverged from Wang Jiaping's words, which is equivalent to supplementing and agreeing with Wang Jiaping's views.

As for the heart of the prince at that time, the heart of Boyi was in the eternity, and it was not completely attached to Wang Jiaping's idea, and it was faintly raised.

The scholar in the Wenhua Palace, who served as the official of writing the scriptures and feasts on the side, listened to Lin Yanchao's words, and couldn't help but nod his head and said, he really deserves to be the champion of the princess, and Lin Sanyuan's name is a fluke, and he really has insight!

Then several Chinese scholars worked hard to write.

Emperor Wenhua Hall listened to the lecture "Mencius, Lilou Chapter", asked the banquet speaker Wang Jiaping, Yi Taigong is located on the seashore and returns to King Wen, but King Wu is cut down, Taigong Zuozhi, Bo Yi buckles the horse and admonishes, what is the difference?

The speaker replied: Taigong Zuozhi, Boyi deducted advice, and the lecturer thought that Taigong was concerned about saving the people, and Boyi was concerned about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers.

The emperor happily asked Lin Yanchao, the exhibition officer, and the exhibition officer replied that the heart of the prince was at that time, and the heart of Boyi was in the eternity, and they were all for the livelihood of the people in the world.

The little emperor was very pleased, but this time he had a long memory, but looked at Wang Jiaping and asked, "What does Mr. Wang think of the words of the exhibition officer?" ”

Wang Jiaping's unhappiness has long since dissipated, Lin Yanchao is so good at being a man, he will not sweep people's face, so he said: "The minister thinks that the words of the exhibition official are remarkable, and the meaning of the lecturer can be explained." ”

The little emperor laughed when he heard this, indeed Lin Yanchao just said something and answered very well. So the little emperor said: "Mr. Wang, Lin Xiu can be described as a golden and jade word, pass on the decree, Mr. Wang, Lin Yanchao is well-spoken, give Bijia, mink hats, color coins, anchovies. ”

After the feast, the Son of Heaven will reward the speaker. Ordinary people ask teachers to give them restraints, not to mention the rewards given by the Son of Heaven.

It's just that the people who are rewarded on weekdays are the officials of the scripture feast, and the rest of the officials are just giving wine and banquets and giving meals. And today, Lin Yanchao was rewarded by the Son of Heaven because of the prelude, and he was also rewarded.

Although the reward is very meager, the honor is greater than the actual significance, and it can be boasted for a year.

Lin Yanchao and Wang Jiaping were now on the Wenhua Hall to thank the Son of Heaven for his reward.

Then the feast ended.

"Hundreds of officials outside the Fengtian Gate give a banquet!"

The eunuch proclaimed.

The officials of the feast withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

You must know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very stingy and stingy, and the royal banquets were usually very simple, such as the food given after the early dynasty retreated, Lin Yanchao ate it a few times, which was simply better than pig food.

But the royal banquet can only be called shy. The feast wine and food are very rich and delicacies from Guanglu Temple, and the two good altars are set up for a banquet in Fengtianmen. After Lin Yanchao arrived at Fengtianmen, he saw that many officials came with their families, retinues, officials, and domestic servants. These people came and came, still holding lunch boxes and baskets in their hands.

It turns out that the banquet not only invites the banquet officials, but also the banquet officials can also bring their families, retinues, hall officials, domestic servants, and sedan chair drivers.

Not only can you eat at the feast, but you can also pack it after eating, and you can not only pack the dishes after eating, but also take the bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils away, yes, it is to go away, not to steal, so the Beijing official called this "eating the feast".

Shen Defu, the author of Wanli Ye's compilation, often ate the food that his father packed back from the banquet since his father Shen Ziwei served as an official of the scripture feast. Shen Defu also wrote down the matter and recorded it in the book.

At the banquet, Lin Yanchao also called Zhanming, and Chen Jichuan was stained with him.

This feast is really quite rich, four plates of tea and food on a table, one dish of steamed dumplings, five plates of fruits, five plates of wine (wine and meat dishes), one plate of dim sum, one dish of saving vegetables, three kinds of soup, and the four colors of the dishes are roast duck, white fried pork, crystal hooves, dregs of anchovies, one point of rice, and six minutes of wine.

Lin Yanchao was at the same table with the Japanese speaker Zhu Geng, but saw that Zhu Geng brought his wife, concubine, two palanquin men, and a long-term attendant, each of whom came to the banquet with a lunch box and basket.

Zhu Geng saw that Lin Yanchao only brought two subordinates, and they all came empty-handed, so he was a little embarrassed. Zhu Geng is a kind person, and he bowed his hand to Lin Yanchao: "Zong Hai, dragging the family with you really makes you laugh." ”

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said: "Brother Jin Ting, don't say that, the Son of Heaven will give you a seat, and we should bring our family to share the grace of heaven." ”

When Zhu Geng's wife and concubine saw Lin Yanchao say this, they all had a good impression, and they all smiled and said: "Zhuang Yuanlang is really good at talking, we have a surplus in this lunch box and basket, you can take a few walks." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, we are also prepared." ”

After saying Zhanming, Chen Jichuan took out two pieces of cloth, it turned out that although Lin Yanchao did not prepare a lunch box and basket, he prepared a package to pack. Zhu Geng couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Yanchao like this, the little embarrassment in his heart was long gone, but he said in his heart that you, this kid, had already prepared.

Lin Yanchao also smiled knowingly. So Lin Yanchao and Zhu Geng sat down together, and the people on both sides coincidentally packed the dry goods such as tea, fruits, and steamed dumplings in equal shares, and then ate them together.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Geng asked with a smile: "Zong Hai, what do you think of the banquet dishes?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The plate is usable, but the taste is a little lighter." ”

Zhu Geng said suspiciously: "Could it be that Fujian cuisine has a strong taste?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "It's not like that, it's just that I came from a humble background, and I like to eat spicy and spicy things since I was a child. ”

Zhu Geng knows that he is from a humble background in eating, and he likes to eat spicy and heavy food, but in the families of several generations of rich and noble, he likes to eat lightly. Zhu Gengguan is very honest and does not accept anything, so although he is a noble official on the day of the Son of Heaven, he lives a very poor life, otherwise he would not have eaten a sutra feast and a large bag. However, Zhu Geng was born as an official eunuch for generations, and his diet is like a rich family.

At this moment, Zhu Geng heard Lin Yanchao say so frankly, and suddenly praised Dasheng with good feelings: "Zong Hai is really a frank gentleman. ”

Lin Yanchao also admired Zhu Geng's honesty and integrity: "Where, Brother Jin Ting is the real gentleman." ”

At the banquet, Lin Yanchao and Zhu Geng chatted happily.

At this time, in the Wenhua Palace, several people talked about Lin Yanchao's name.

In the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Li Wei and other ministers are all serving in the side hall.

After the feast, after the feast, the Son of Heaven will finish the imperial meal, and will correct the recital in the East Warm Pavilion of the Wenhua Palace, while the cabinet ministers will serve in the side hall. If the Son of Heaven has any problems correcting the recital, he can call for questions at any time.

Right now, the Son of Heaven is eating in the warm pavilion, and the eunuchs in the palace are also bringing tea to Zhang Juzheng and others.

A charcoal basin has been added to the side hall of this Wenhua Palace, which can be described as very warm. As for the Son of Heaven, the meals on the table of several ministers were also very rich, and each had more than a dozen dim sums.

At this time, Wu Qingbo Li Wei had just finished drinking a bowl of rice porridge, and then said: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is really diligent in government affairs, and he can be called the four words of food and clothing. ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't like Li Wei, drank tea by himself, and ignored his words. Zhang Siwei put down the tea bowl, took Li Wei's words and said: "What Wu Qingbo said is extremely true, Your Majesty is a young man, and he is so diligent in government, he will be a generation of Ming Jun in the future." ”

Listening to Shen Shixing's praise, Li Wei pinched his beard and smiled, and glanced at Zhang Juzheng's expression.

This time, the world cleared the acres of land, and he was found to be more than 6,000 acres in the suburbs of Beijing and the hidden tax fields in his hometown in Shanxi, and Zhang Juzheng wrote to Li Wei to ask him to withdraw 2,000 acres in private. Li Wei had no choice but to do so, if he didn't comply, Zhang Juzheng would have to expose the matter, so not only him, but also the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager Li were also shameless.

But because of this matter, Li Wei has a hundred resentments towards Zhang Juzheng in his heart.

So Li Wei said to Zhang Juzheng: "Yuan Fu, today the Son of Heaven asked Lin Xiu at the banquet, which shows that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to his hand-picked champion, and it seems that he intends to let Lin Xiushu serve as a minister, and serve as an official at the banquet!" ”

The Japanese lecturer, after the banquet speaker, has always been selected by the cabinet ministers in the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Shifu, and then through the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites to invite the Son of Heaven.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are just going through the motions, but the real day lecturer and the candidate for the official at the banquet have always been in the hands of the first assistant of the cabinet. The Japanese lecturer and the banquet speaker are the steps of the Hanlin official to go out of the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, so they are not the cronies of the cabinet and will never be awarded to others.

The power to select officials on the day has always been one acre and three points of land for the first assistant of the cabinet, and even the Son of Heaven has no right to ask, Li Wei dared to ask Zhang Juzheng about this matter, didn't this touch his scales?

When Li Wei spoke, Zhang Juzheng picked up a piece of crystal cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Regarding Li Wei's question, Zhang Juzheng did not express his position, but asked Zhang Siwei on the side: "Wu Qingbo's views are quite insightful, Lin Xiushu has dealt with him since he took the turn of the cabinet, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Siwei and Li Wei are good friends, they are both Shanxi villagers, and Li Wei and Zhang Ju are in a dilemma. He knew that Zhang Juzheng asked himself to show an attitude between him and Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Siwei secretly hated Li Wei for being stupid, this kind of attack is not painful for Zhang Juzheng, you can only use your tongue to disgust him, but drag yourself into the water.

Therefore, Zhang Siwei must not follow Li Wei's words, he said: "The servant and Lin Xiu have been compiling official affairs for several months, and I feel that he is shrewd and capable. Therefore, since the founding of the country, there are few Fujian people to serve them, and they are used for banquets and Japanese officials. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly.

If Li Wei were not his daughter, where would he have today's identity. did not climb up from the level of inferior officials, so his experience in the court was several levels different from Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei. He was bent on stabbing Zhang Juzheng with words, but Zhang Juzheng did not accept the offer, but asked Zhang Siwei to 'defect' with a word.

So Li Wei angrily argued with Zhang Siwei: "The second assistant is wrong, Lin Zhenheng, who was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy during the Jiajing Dynasty, and served as an official on the day of the feast, is not also a Fujian?" ”

When Li Wei said this, he saw that Zhang Juzheng's face sank, and he felt a little proud in his heart. This Lin Zhenheng is Lin Xuan, who is Zhang Juzheng's political enemy, and his younger brother Lin Yan also resigned because of his opposition to Zhang Juzheng. As we all know, Lin Yanchao's mentor is Lin Yan, and Li Wei used this to cause Zhang Juzheng's unhappiness with Lin Yanchao. Although Li Wei is not politically smart, he also understands the routine of openly praising and secretly belittling.

Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea and said: "Wu Qingbo is really attentive to the affairs of the court, but instead of this, it is better to think about the few acres of thin fields at home." ”

Li Wei heard Zhang Juzheng say this, and knew that his little caution had been seen through by him, and he was immediately annoyed and angry.

Li Wei thought about it, Zhang Juzheng only let himself report 2,000 acres, which was already to give himself face, if he really offended him, 6,000 acres would be reported, and his dignified Wu Qingbo life would be uncomfortable, so he could only shut up, and later enter the warm pavilion and leave the Wenhua Hall after seeing the Son of Heaven.

After Li Wei left, Zhang Siwei asked Zhang Juzheng: "I heard that Chen Jingbang has been on the table twice, saying that he is ill, and he will resign from the official position in Japan." If the Son of Heaven allows it, does Yuan Weng intend to make up for it by Lin Yanchao? ”

Zhang Juzheng listened to the pinch of his beard and said: "After the feast, I learned from the Son of Heaven, Lin Yanchao has only been an official for a year, and his qualifications are still shallow, so let's not use it." (To be continued.) )
