Lin Yanchao returned to the palace from Shen Li, and did not go to the official duty house first, but transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion to find Zhang Siwei first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

From the direct cabinet to the straight day, Lin Yanchao has been working under Zhang Siwei.

According to legend among the cabinet members, Zhang Siwei is notoriously difficult to serve, and he keeps a straight face all day long. Lin Yanchao is the only one among the cabinet members who has never been criticized by Zhang Siwei, and every cabinet member admires Lin Yanchao from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Siwei was writing a handbook at the desk, and when he saw Lin Yanchao, he nodded and said, "Zong Hai, sit down first, and then talk to you after the cabinet department finishes writing this handbook." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Xiaguan thanked Zhongtang. ”

Lin Yanchao sat aside and waited.

After Zhang Siwei was busy, he said to Lin Yanchao: "Zong Hai, the Son of Heaven is very happy in the past few days, not to mention that you have a thick foundation, it also shows that you have put in a lot of effort from this sermon." At the beginning, Yuanfu asked you to be a Japanese lecturer, which shows his insight, and you need to thank Yuanfu for his cultivation of you. ”

Usually hearing this, Lin Yanchao would feel that Zhang Siwei was really Zhang Ju was a confidant. But after Shen Shixing analyzed the situation in the court to himself, Lin Yanchao knew that Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei were actually at odds with each other.

Lin Yanchao said: "Yuanfu, the cultivation grace of Zhongtang, the lower officials have never dared to forget. ”

Seeing that Zhang Siwei also had the intention of encircling himself, Lin Yanchao also took advantage of the situation to send a high hat, after this Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei will inevitably become the first assistant. It's just that how many years has Zhang Siwei been in office? Lin Yanchao didn't read the pre-history books carefully, so he didn't know.

But in any case, the other party is also the first assistant in the future, even if you don't take refuge in him, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship.

Zhang Siwei smiled when he heard this, and the two chatted a few more words.

Lin Yanchao asked: "Dare to ask Zhongtang, has the cabinet asked the lower officials to serve as the lecturer of the banquet?" ”

Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "It's set for the second day of the first month." ”

After a pause, Zhang Siwei said: "This is Zonghai's first lecture on the scriptures, different from the daily lecture, the sermon needs to be handed over to me three days in advance, and the day before the feast, you need to tell the celebrant supervisor, and together with the exhibition book, praise the official, Honglu Temple to the Wenhua Hall to perform the ceremony, before the feast, the clothes and shoes need to be incense, and fasting and bathing, in order to show solemnity. ”

Zhang Siwei talked about some solemn places in the scriptures.

"Dare to ask Zhongtang, who was the other scripture speaker that day?"

"Naiguozi priest wine Zhou Ziyi."

Lin Yanchao was stunned when he heard Zhou Ziyi's name, he knew this person, he was a great master of science.

He once said that there was a basis for studying the scriptures in the world, and there were two sects of righteousness and reason, and those who were the evidence thought that righteousness and reason were empty talk, but in fact, the evidence was a plaything.

The "Annotations on the Ancient Texts of Shangshu" written by Lin Yanchao is the masterpiece of Pu Xuezhong, and Pu Xue is the main evidence. It is said that the two have academic disagreements, and these people are more terrible than political opponents.

Political opponents have conflicts of interest that can be resolved, but academic disagreements are endless, unless one side convinces the other. partnered with Zhou Ziyi to host the feast, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little bad.

Zhang Siwei smiled and said to Lin Yanchao: "Zhou Saijiu is an old minister of the three dynasties, through the scriptures and history, you need to consult him more." ”

What else can Lin Yanchao say, he can only say yes.

For Lin Yanchao, it is not the first time to participate in the sutra feast, but it is the first time to give a lecture on the sutra feast.

In the past, when the banquet was held, Lin Yanchao served as the exhibition officer of the banquet, and the exhibition officer put it bluntly, he was to turn the book for the emperor, and his role was purely an ornament, similar to the Han general in the royal honor guard, which served as a façade.

The difference between the official of the banquet and the official of the banquet is very different.

The scripture speaker is the scripture lecturer, who really speaks for the Son of Heaven at the scripture feast.

Serving as a scripture speaker is a supreme honor for any official. If you look at the resume of an official, if you have served as a banquet speaker, you need to write it again.

In order to become a sutra preacher speaker, one must revise and revise above in the Hanlin Academy, or be in charge of the Zhan Shifu and the prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine. Occasionally, the Ministry of Rites will also make a cameo appearance as a banquet speaker. Generally speaking, the head of the Zhan Mansion and the Guozi Priest are all served by Hanlin, so the banquet lecturer, like the Japanese speaker, is a position that cannot be occupied by a non-Hanlin.

As a lecturer at the feast, Lin Yanchao's qualifications were originally poor, but he is now a Japanese lecturer and finally has qualifications.

After that, Lin Yanchao left Wenyuan Pavilion, carefully prepared the scripture feast, and buried himself in writing the sermons on the scripture feast. After the sermon was written and Zhang Siwei showed that it was correct, Lin Yanchao went to the Wenhua Hall to perform a ceremony the day before the feast.

Hundreds of officials gathered at the banquet, and Lin Yanchao, as the host of the banquet, had many things to pay attention to in etiquette. If there is a mistake in etiquette, it is a joke.

The most important thing in this sutra etiquette is the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. Speaking of the courtesy of the monarchs and ministers on the banquet officials, it is necessary to start from the Song Dynasty when the banquet officials sat and stood to speak.

It is the difference between giving a lecture to the emperor, standing or sitting.

After the banquet speaker gave a lecture to the Son of Heaven, one was a teacher and the other was a student, and the Son of Heaven should be treated by the lecturer as a teacher. But the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the officials are ministers, and they have to talk about the courtesies of the monarch and the ministers.

Therefore, sitting and speaking is respecting the teacher, and standing and speaking is respecting the king and being humble.

Whether it is the importance of teacher etiquette or the importance of gentleman courtesy, the ministers of the Song Dynasty who pay attention to the name of the debate, there is endless debate about this.

The controversy continued into the Ming Dynasty, and the issue was finally resolved. With Zhu Yuanzhang here, the ministers did not discuss whether to sit or stand, and everyone knelt down to speak.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, although he resumed his preaching, his descendants, Emperor Ming Jing, ordered the lieutenant to throw money on the ground every time he came to the feast, and he was called a lecturer, known as grace.

Officials were ashamed to be officials, and it was not until after Jiajing that the power of officials rose and they could eventually compete with the imperial power.

As a result, the officials continued Zhu Xi's theory of Taoism and governance. Zhu Xi preached that the saints and saints were successive, and the Confucian people passed on the way of the ancestors, from Yao Shun to Cheng Zhu, and the Tao was on the side of the scholars.

The Taoist system is the unity of Confucianism, and the ruling system is the unity of the emperor, and the two go hand in hand with the world, and the Taoist system should guide the ruling system. Therefore, on the occasion of the scriptures and feasts for scholars, the Taoist system should guide the ruling of the country, and the Confucian ministers influenced the emperor's behavior, self-cultivation, and virtue by preaching the scriptures and history. Thanks to the efforts of the ministers, the status of the Banquet Speaker was finally elevated.

On the Wenhua Palace, Lin Yanchao and the officials of the banquet were performing.

It is necessary to practice one by one where the lecturer enters, where he bows, and how the lecturer and the bookkeeper cooperate.

All the officials have arrived, but Zhou Ziyi has not arrived, without him, everyone is always missing a link in rehearsals.

At this moment, a minister in a big red silk saro suit walked up to the Wenhua Palace. Lin Yanchao recognized that the other party was Zhou Ziyi, the priest of the country.

Although the other party was late, Lin Yanchao still needed to step forward and salute: "Waiter Lin Yanchao, I have seen Senior Zhou." ”

Zhou Ziyi nodded and asked, "How is the ceremony?" ”

"I'm about to ask Senior Zhou for advice." (To be continued.) )
