"Lord Zhu, this Sheji field was opened up by the Holy Lord at the beginning of the tenth year of the Holy Calendar, and in the middle of the rice field are the two altars of silkworms and earth valleys, oh, by the way, the earth valley altar has been renamed the Emperor Altar of the Emperor Society at the beginning of this year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was very interested in the Shejitian in front of him, and that there was still enough time now, Zhang Gonggong explained the cause and effect to Zhu Ping'an.

"At the beginning of the ninth year of the holy calendar, the former head assistant Xia Yan wrote to the queen to hold a silkworm ceremony, and the holy decree was to abide by the ancient system of 'the emperor ploughing in the southern suburbs and the queen kissing silkworms in the northern suburbs', and established the silkworm altar outside the Anding Gate. In the second year, the saint took into account the inconvenience of the queen mother to go out of the city, and there was no water source outside the stable gate for bathing silkworms, and examined that since the Tang and Song dynasties, the silkworm ceremony was carried out in the inner garden, and there was Taiye pond water in the west garden to wash silkworms and irrigate, so the saint successively built two altars of silkworms and emperors and emperors here, opened up the community fields, held the ceremony of cultivating and pro-silkworms, and cultivated mulberry at the same time to educate the world. ”

"If Lord Zhu is interested, there is a holy imperial system in the Wuyi Palace, the "Xiyuan Shigu Ancestor Silkworm Altar Fu", which is recorded in more detail, and Lord Zhu can take a look at it in his leisure."

The causes and consequences of Shejitian, Gonggong Zhang explained very clearly, so that Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but look at him more while thanking him, this kind of person with a heart always has a time to come out in the palace.

Shejitian is located in front of Renshou Palace and Wuyi Palace, and Gonggong Zhang led Zhu Ping'an to continue along the royal road, and soon arrived in front of Wuyi Palace.

From the outside, Wuyi Hall is much simpler than the palaces such as Yuxi Palace and Shenyingxuan that have just passed by.

"Master Zhu, this is the Wuyi Hall of the Cabinet Office. Without a summons, the chamberlain was not allowed to enter the cabinet office, and the miscellaneous family was sent here. Gonggong Zhang pointed to Wuyi Hall and said to Zhu Ping'an.

"Thank you Grandpa Zhang for leading the way." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

"Lord Zhu is polite." Father-in-law Zhang replied with a smile, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhu Ping'an didn't come early, at this time, there were already a lot of people in the Wuyi Palace, in and out of the main hall in an orderly manner, with the hall for office, Zhu Ping'an delayed a little time at the gate of the palace, but he was not late.

Entering the courtyard of Wuyi Palace, Zhu Ping'an had a more intuitive understanding of the location of the cabinet office.

There are three rooms in the main hall of Wuyi Palace, the shape is simple and simple, and there are two rows of low wings on the east and west courtyard walls, as the side hall of Wuyi Palace.

There are two stele pavilions on the left and right sides of the main hall, which are respectively named "the left stele pavilion of the imperial system of Wuyi Palace" and "the right stele pavilion of the imperial system of Wuyi Palace", and the style of the stele pavilion on the left and right is similar to the Jingyi Pavilion of the Guozijian, which is a small palace-style building.

There is also a pavilion in front of the main hall, the name is called "豳风", 豳 (pronounced bīn) wind, it is one of the fifteen national winds of the Book of Songs, it is the ancient place name of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the birthplace of the Zhou tribe.

This pavilion is the closest to the main entrance of the courtyard of Wuyi Palace, Zhu Ping'an approached, and at a glance was attracted by the gold brick wall on the north wall of this pavilion.

"Zihou, you're here."

Just as Zhu Ping'an was about to walk into the Fengfeng Pavilion and take a look at the inscription, he heard a gentle greeting from behind him.

Zhu Ping'an turned around and saw Li Chunfang, the boss of the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, so he turned around and smiled and greeted Li Chunfang, "I've seen Master Li." ”

When he met Li Chunfang in Wuyi Palace, Zhu Ping'an was not surprised. In the Ming Dynasty, the elders of the cabinet were all born in the Hanlin Academy, and it is reasonable that the auxiliary officials who assisted the cabinet elders in the cabinet were born in the Hanlin Academy. Li Chunfang is a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, he is older than himself, and he is one of the future elders.

In addition, Li Chunfang is a well-known "prime minister of Qingzi", not only the cabinet ministers who stay in the Wuyi Palace, but also the Jiajing Emperor has a lot of activities in Zhaijiao, and the demand for Qingzi is increasing day by day, and the ministers who serve the Qingzi are also resident in the Wuyi Hall of Xiyuan.

"Zi Hou, no need to be polite." Li Chunfang replied with a gentle smile, and then motioned for Zhu Ping'an to go with him to meet the elders, "Come with me, I'll take you to meet the next three elders first." This Fengfeng Pavilion, it is not too late for Zihou to have time to look at it in the future. ”

"Thank you, Lord Li, for the reminder."

Zhu Ping'an thanked him, Li Chunfang reminded him very right, he was new to the city, and he had to bow down to the dock first.

"You and I are out of the Hanlin Academy together, why should you be so polite." Li Chunfang smiled and waved her hand, and then took Zhu Ping'an to the main hall.

Zhu Ping'an sorted out his official uniform and fragrant leaf crown, and walked towards the main hall with Li Chunfang.

"The main hall in front is where the old pavilion works." Li Chunfang led Zhu Ping'an forward, and at the same time briefly introduced to Zhu Ping'an, and after speaking, the main hall pointed to the side hall on the way, and continued to introduce to Zhu Ping'an, "These two rows of side halls, each with more than ten rooms, is a place for the ministers to rest, and you will also be divided into a room." ”

"Hehe, Zihou will definitely remember this place in the future......" Li Chunfang laughed.

Zhu Ping'an took a closer look at the matching hall that Li Chunfang pointed to, and knew in his heart that this matching hall was low and simple, running from east to west, looking like a small toilet, and he could imagine the refreshing taste of summer exposure and winter cold.

"Of course, the elders are not resting here, on the left side of the official road in the east of the Wuyi Palace, there is another southwest value house, well, it is the four-entry courtyard sixteen-room building, which has five rooms. The halls and rooms are all south-facing, and there is a place for the elders to rest, and the largest place is where the elders of the Yan Pavilion rest. Li Chunfang pointed to the row of courtyards outside the hall with envy, and said to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, he had already understood this, and he also knew that this row of values was specially built by Emperor Jiajing to show his favor after Yan Song entered the West Garden.

Soon they entered the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Li Chunfang asked Zhu Ping'an to wait a while, and he went to report to the pavilion elders first.

Zhu Ping'an stood in the main hall and observed when Li Chunfang reported, this main hall is very wide, in addition to the throne hall in the middle, the left and right sides are divided into several single rooms, the largest of which should be the room where the first assistant Yan Song works, and it is this room that Li Chunfang reported.

A plaque is hung above the throne on the main hall, the inscription is the word "Wuyi", the word "Wuyi" is from the handwriting of Emperor Jiajing, and is taken from the "meaning of abstaining from Yi" in the words of King Cheng of Zhou's announcement. Behind the throne is the wall paved with gold bricks, engraved with a capital "Farmer Busy Poem", from the poem after the poem can know that this poem is written by Emperor Jiajing's father Ruizong, and the poem is made by Emperor Jiajing.

"Zihou, Shoufu called you in."

Zhu Ping'an only finished reading the poems and texts, and saw Li Chunfang pushing the door out of Yan Song's office room, beckoning.
