Chapter 356: The Son of Heaven has a good name, and the way of calligraphy is also a great way

Siyi led the land to return to the king's command,

All come to look up to Daming.

All nations and nations are restored,

The current imperial court, the pilgrimage to the saint.

The ministers of the heavenly class train,

Sing in unison.

As soon as the hall was completed, it ushered in the first court meeting after Zhu Di moved to Beijing. After the Son of Heaven sat down, when several envoys came to this side under the guidance of people, although they had been taught etiquette by the attendants of the Ministry of Rites in the same hall, they were still almost lost in the golden splendor and silk and bamboo orchestras.

Among the officials in black gauze hats and sara robes who were lined up on both sides, Zhang Yue, who was wearing a sable and a unicorn suit, was extremely conspicuous, but what was more eye-catching was the sword at his waist. Not to mention civil officials, even military attachés with great merits, they can't wear swords on such occasions, however, combined with the previous rumors, but let smart people know that this saber is probably going to be withdrawn by the Son of Heaven soon, so naturally they will not raise any doubts at such a time. Even so, it is inevitable that some people will take a few more looks.

Since it was a court meeting, Wen Zuo Wu right, in-laws elders such as Anyuan Hou Liusheng and Baoding Hou Mengying were all in the Xun Qi class, so it was naturally difficult to greet them on such occasions. It is said that it is the palace, but the civil and military officials are all in the Danqi Imperial Road under His Royal Highness, and standing at the end of the relative end, he just saw his father-in-law Du Zhen and Yang Rong and others walking by, standing not far from his head.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs bowed and kowtowed three times, and the court meeting was considered to have begun. Standing in this position, Zhang Yue could only see the magnificent palace, not the throne in the main hall at all, let alone see what Zhu Di looked like, so he absolutely believed that the ten years of Beijing officials did not know the Son of Heaven. In front of the main hall stood countless brocade guards in bright iron armor, and there were even sword-wielding captains behind the civil and military classes.

The first time he went to the court, he was still a little fresh at first, but after standing in the cold wind for a long time, he knew that the officials of the supervising imperial history and the Honglu Temple were staring wide-eyed and ready to correct the officials who lost their manners, so he stood there naturally unable to move. Only to hear the officials of the Ministry of Rites guide the envoys in the palace to present a speech, and the emperor dictated the edict, he gradually understood why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not like to go to court. This is still the palace, if the imperial gate is in court, the emperor is also exposed to the wind and rain in addition to having an umbrella cover, who is willing to do this kind of drudgery? Just when he was almost distracted, he suddenly heard a shout from the officials of Honglu Temple.

"Doctor Zhang Yue!"

Zhang Yue reacted with a spirit, and hurriedly left the class, went up from the steps, and immediately stepped into the main hall. At this time, there were still envoys, Xun Qi class and high-grade civil and military attachés on both sides, he took off the sword at his waist and held it with both hands, and knelt down in front of the palace: "The minister was ordered to regard Ningbo City as the secretary, and the emperor gave him a sword, fortunately, he subdued the officials, and cleared the thief party. ”

A small eunuch hurried down the imperial steps, bowed down to take the sword, and then climbed the stairs, kneeling down in front of the royal throne and holding it high above his head. In front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Di, who picked up the sword, did something that stunned everyone - he actually pulled the sword out of the sheath with his hand, and slowly wiped the middle finger of his left index finger on the spine of the sword, and then nodded slightly.

"Although I live in the palace, I have heard rumors from outside. At the moment, some people are wondering if this sword is really the one I gave me first. ”

Zhu Di's voice contained an indescribable yin wind, which blew silence in the hall, as if even the sound of breathing and heartbeat had stopped all of a sudden. But he just glanced at everyone coldly, and his tone was even more cold: "I gave Zhang Yue a unicorn suit and a sword. Now everyone knows that it is the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and Zhuqing is well-informed! ”

Although there was a foreign envoy in front of him, Zhu Di had no intention of stopping, he was actually standing there carrying a sword, not so much an emperor as a general full of anger and murderous intentions. At this moment, he raised his voice abruptly, and the huge hall of his roar was suddenly filled.

"That's right, what I gave him is my portable sword, the sword that I have fought several times in the north! Since he wants to figure out my thoughts, he should figure them out more thoroughly, how can he think that he dares to use fake ones to fool me? I'm a person who can't rub sand in my eyes, and my sword is a murderous sword, not the kind of thing that can only be used as an ornament, can't I recognize the real from the fake? What you do behind your backs, the news you deliver behind your backs, don't think that I can't see or hear them, if someone doesn't want to think about someone else's promise, then I can fulfill him! ”

Zhang Yue, who was just in front of the palace, was so angry that his ears buzzed with the echo, he had no doubt that these words were enough for most of the people outside the hall to hear, and he had no doubt that if he presented a fake sword before, Zhu Di would not directly cut him with a sword in anger at this time. It wasn't until enough of the warning that the voice above suddenly changed.

"Zhang Yue, play your affairs in Ningbo."

The so-called recital at the court meeting, in fact, is just to read aloud your own chapter, so you need to be beautiful and groomed, loud voice, if you don't have such self-confidence, Honglu Temple and Tongzheng Si can also play on your behalf. Provoked by Zhu Di's words just now, Zhang Yue actually forgot to take out his own chapter from his sleeve, and simply said aloud: "The minister ordered the Ningbo City Bo Si to investigate the tributary envoys and the opening of the sea ban over the years, and visited the City Bo Si to raise Fan Tong's illegal ......" After reporting the same thing, he suddenly changed his words.

"Your Majesty will punish those who are guilty of the common law, and the traitors will not dare to indulge thereafter; If a large army catches the Japanese along the coast, the Japanese pirates will not be able to live in peace, and the coastal areas can enjoy Jingning; If the wealth and goods of the Celestial Empire trade with all countries, then the countries will be famous and famous; Now the people of all coastal areas praise Your Majesty, and in the future, those who look at the wind and call our emperor and saint will be all over the world. ”

Although many civil officials still disagreed, seeing that Zhu Di, who had just become angry, had already sat down leisurely and smiled, no one would jump out as cannon fodder at such a time. It's one thing to be blunt, but it's another thing to know that you're going to die. And the officials of the six ministries who had just heard Zhang Yue's analysis in the straight room were even more contemplative, even Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was known as "playing three Shangshu things at the same time in each dynasty, and reciting them like a stream", was also wondering what Zhang Yue meant by saying that earlier - is it not enough for someone to open the sea ban, but also to instigate the Son of Heaven to fight Japan?

If so, then it should be instigated by the emperor, and not said to them, the officials of the six ministries, in the straight room. Although Jin Youzi has a lot of complaints about Zhang Yue, he Lu Zhen doesn't think that Zhang Yue is so ignorant. You must know that the emperor's temperament is the most elusive, if you think that the Zhang family can be reused, it would be wrong, don't you see that Zhang Xin, the son of the Zhang family, is still nesting in Jiaozhi now?

Zhu Di didn't go deep to figure out what Zhang Yue meant, and saw a group of envoys who knew a lot of Chinese after listening to Zhang Yue's Chen Song, catching the Japanese and trading affairs, and even bowed down to the ground one by one and praised him again and again, and he felt more proud in his heart. Outside the territory, all the people praise, this was originally the standard for measuring the Ming monarch, if the people of Fanbang were added to the praised people, wouldn't it be a more satisfying ending?

Under Dayue, he naturally felt that Zhang Yue really understood his own mind, and he couldn't help but praise and encourage him at the moment, but at this time, Xia Yuanji suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has no position after paying the decree, since he is good at the way of wealth, please allow his household to walk and learn machine maintenance." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhen actually came out of the class with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuemin is in the affairs of the Japanese and can be appointed in the Ministry of Rites." ”

These two Shangshu suddenly came out to compete for a person, not to mention that the palace was stunned, and even Zhu Di was stunned. He looked at Zhang Yue who was at a loss with interest, suddenly laughed, and waved his hand without doubt: "He may not be good at the trivial affairs of the six departments, you don't have to fight, I have my own ideas." ”

Since the crown prince supervised the country, Zhu Di did not often hold court meetings and rarely saw ordinary officials, except for the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu appointed by himself. Now that his life has moved to Renshou Palace, he is even more freewheeling, once the spleen comes up or the wind paralysis attacks, even the prince and princess will eat closed-door soup, but if the heart is good, occasionally call a literary courtier like Shen Du Shen Cang to write, and often have handwritten ink treasures to close courtiers.

At this time, when he returned to Renshou Palace after the next dynasty, Zhu Di was very interested, but he was concentrating on standing in front of the bookcase and writing, and he was in a very good mood. After scribbling the last stroke, Zhu Di looked at the ink-drenched white scroll with satisfaction, and then said without raising his head: "I have always loved calligraphy, and I like Shen Minze's words the most, and the end is graceful and elegant, graceful and graceful, and your handwriting can learn Shen Minze's three points, which is already quite good." Calligraphy also pays attention to the way of rigidity and softness, which is also the avenue. When it should be hard, it must be hard, and when it should be soft, it may as well be soft. But in my opinion, it is better to be too late than to be a little less than a little inferior. ”

This is a horizontal scroll, Zhu Di pressed one end with a paperweight when he was just writing, but ordered Zhang Yue to brush the other end with his hand, just treating him as a humanoid paperweight. Hearing this sentence at this time, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded.

"Thank you for the emperor's reminder, the minister's handwriting is just a temporary post, but he only asked Master Shen twice in person. In the future, we must remember the way of combining civil and military, and combining rigidity and softness. ”

Shen Min has been edicting me for more than ten years, and many young scholars want to knock on his door, or write or write articles, but they all eat behind closed doors, and they are only a few close friends who come and go on weekdays. In addition to Shen Minyuan, Yang Shiqi has been in Hanlin with him for more than ten years, and he is the most compatible, followed by your father-in-law. You can ask for advice twice, and that's still borrowing your father-in-law's light! ”

Zhu Di was very satisfied with Zhang Yue's answer, and joked with a smile: "Du Yishan and Shen Min have the same temper, they only make friends with people who are compatible, and other people don't pay attention to them at all, even your in-laws don't move around often, so they can be regarded as a big weirdo." Others are still worried that I will promote him into the cabinet, but they don't want to think that his iceberg face is three points better than Yang Rong's arrogant face, plus Jin Youzi, who is sensitive to words but also a little arrogant, I am afraid that these three will have to turn their faces if they don't agree with each other...... Having said that, your second uncle has used his troops to advance and retreat this time, plus his previous military exploits in Jiaozhi, he can be knighted after returning. You are smart-hearted, take this painting back and hang it in your home Ruiqing Hall, and come back to see me in three days! ”
