Wanli Xinming

Chapter 239

Chapter 239
The meeting with the Portuguese embassy was a quarter of an hour longer than expected, and Zhu Yijun's schedule was postponed.Since the seventh year of Wanli, the daily schedule has been like this, and the servant room has long been used to it.

Although the arranged schedule was often messed up by Zhu Yijun, the attendants still carefully compiled the emperor's schedule every day.For example, on April 29, the tenth year of Wanli, the emperor's schedule is as follows:
At [-]:[-], the emperor and the empress invited the two palaces to be safe, and accompanied King Lu and the princesses to breakfast with the Empress Dowager Cisheng;

At [-]:[-], the emperor returned to Bailu Palace to review the inscription;
At 21:22, go to Bailu Palace, and after exercising with the emperor, go to bed at [-]:[-].

Although he has long been accustomed to this kind of work intensity, every day Zhu Yijun has a feeling of wanting to die after seeing the schedule.He now understands a little why, except for Taizu and Chengzu, all the ancestors and sects entrusted the power to the cabinet and the ceremonies. The emperor is indeed not a job done by humans.

There are several items in this agenda, such as Zheng Wang's report, which have been scheduled for more than 20 days, but because they are not important enough, they have not been scheduled.

The North Korean envoy Kim Hyo-won was waiting to be interviewed in the first month of the month. The North Korean beauty had been in the palace for half a year, and Zhu Yijun only took 5 minutes to meet him.After all, the king of North Korea sent several beautiful prostitutes from powerful families such as Zheng, Jin, and Shen to serve him, and he couldn't justify not giving face.

As for the envoys of Siam, the items they contributed were all jewelry raw materials and the like, with large quantities and high quality.The emperor has so many wives, it's justified to save face for 5 minutes.

At [-]:[-] p.m. that day, when the emperor was on a lunch break, He Xinyin and other recommended candidates for professors at Beijing Normal University, under the guidance of the internal officials, stepped onto the temporary pontoon bridge and entered Nantai, passed Xiangluan Pavilion, and entered Jingxing Palace is waiting for you.

Because they entered the royal core, everyone kept their voices low.Although there were some snacks and tea on the table in Jingxing Hall, few people went to eat it.He Xinyin was considered an outlier among them. After chatting a few times with a few familiar people, he was a little hungry, so he chose a few dishes to eat - there was a low laughter behind him.

After eating for a while, chatting for a while, and waiting for more than half an hour (also known as hours in the new time), He Xinyin listened to the official registration: "The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Mr. Zhang Juzheng is here!" The senior officials, like the stars holding the moon, surrounded a tall but thin old man and entered the Jingxing Hall.

Some of the people in Jingxing Hall bowed and saluted, and some wanted to kneel and kowtow, and found that no one knelt down and straightened their knees in a hurry. With the messy greetings, there was a little confusion in the hall.

Behind the chaotic crowd, a straight old man stood with a piece of sachima in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth like no one else was chewing it, then he picked up the teacup again, "sucked", and took a sip of tea.

Like fireflies in the dark night, it was difficult for Zhang Juzheng and the others who entered the hall to not notice He Xinyin.Although Zhang Juzheng had been away for years, Zhang Juzheng recognized him at a glance, but it was impossible for the two of them, whose statuses were so different, to have any intersection.Therefore, Zhang Juzheng just nodded slightly and turned his eyes away.

He Xinyin was still standing there, eating his fancy snacks as if no one else was around.He also knew Zhang Juzheng, but he had no desire to meet him in the past.He recalled that in the 43rd year of Jiajing, when he was lecturing in the capital, he had met Zhang Juzheng, who was then the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, several times, and they had a conversation for nearly two hours.

At that time, He Xinyin had just experienced the failure of the social practice of "Jujutang" and was at a low ebb in his life.Zhang Juzheng has already stepped into the fast lane of promotion. Under the cultivation of his teacher Xu Jie, he has obtained the qualification of lecturer of Yuwangfu.If King Yu succeeds the throne smoothly, the position of the cabinet will be stable. [Note]
The failure of Jujutang made He Xinyin's thoughts extreme, and coupled with his arrogant temperament, he seemed even more unscrupulous.And Zhang Juzheng was in high spirits, and he was also a top person in the world. The two had completely opposite political views, and the exchange could not help but break up in the end.

After He Xinyin left the capital, he once said to people: "In the future, Zhang Juzheng will definitely become a state, and if you become a state, you will kill me."

The original time and space He Xinyin was indeed killed, and because he said many times that Zhang Juzheng would kill me, Zhang Juzheng was put on the hat of restraining heresy and unjustly killing He Xinyin, leaving a big stain on the golden body of the famous minister of the ages.

In this time and space, He Xinyin is still alive and well. He was in the candidate pile and saw Zhang Juzheng standing with a few colleagues in the cabinet from a distance, listening to Wang Guoguang, Zhang Siwei and others reporting things to him, with a thin face. There was no wave in the ancient well, and there was no trace of the red-faced appearance of the two of them when they were arguing.

On the periphery of the circle of cabinet bosses, the ministers and ministers all had smiles on their faces, as if the words Zhang Juzheng occasionally said were like the sound of the Buddha's language, and they all made expressions of enlightenment and understanding. A mocking smile appeared on He Xinyin's face again.

At this time, an old man wearing a red robe and a golden pheasant filled the child walked straight up. Wherever he passed, everyone who knew him bent down and said: "Mr. Tiantai." .

He Xinyin clasped his fists and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Geng." Geng took a few steps with a smile on his face, and returned the salute.

Immediately he said, "Mr. Fushan, I wanted to visit you, but when Mr. has something to do, I don't want to see you here anymore."

He Xinyin smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to see the ears of my old friends. Because I don't know if it's better to call you Master Geng or Mr. Tiantai, so I don't dare to see you."

These words were rude, and Geng Diang's face couldn't help but cover his face.Those who participated in the selection together with him, those who knew He Xinyin well, knew his temperament.Those who didn't know each other couldn't help but inquire, asking who this unremarkable old man was.

Geng Ding gave a few dry laughs and said, "Mr. Fushan is still so witty. Looking back on the past when Mr. came to the capital, you and I had a long talk, day and night, as if it were a lifetime." Well, this old man reminds you that when you came to the capital to give lectures, you still lived in Why don't you tell me how many meals I have eaten at home.

He Xinyin put on a smile and said, "I received hospitality in the past, but I was too shy to return the invitation, so I had to avoid it. Don't be surprised, Mr. Tiantai."

Geng Ding ate two soft nails in a row, knowing that the two of them had already fought a vengeance because of the pen battle in the newspaper, so he stopped sticking his face to his cold ass, turned his head and greeted others again, so as not to continue embarrassment.He Xinyin ignored him and went to find Suzhou Dim Sum on his own.

In the midst of boredom, an internal official entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, General Yuhan Yuan Hall, please come with me." Zhang Juzheng took the lead.

At 55:[-], Emperor Yu Hanyuan Hall.He Xinyin didn't dare to look up at Yu Yan, and just followed everyone to salute.When he finished shouting Long Live, he heard His Majesty Dan say loudly: "Pingshen."

Everyone stood up and arranged their shifts according to etiquette.He Xinyin secretly watched Yuyan during the shift schedule, and saw that the emperor was tall and straight, with a graceful bearing, and he really had the appearance of an emperor.Heart said: "I heard that the feast of the scriptures and the lectures have been suspended for seven or eight years. Although the two great texts have been handed down, I don't know what the sacred teaching is."

Immediately, His Majesty Dan sounded softly, and the emperor took his seat.The celebrant coughed lightly and said, "Wang Jiaping stepped forward."

Wang Jiaping, Minister of Education, came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, I am pilgrimage to the great ancestors, and the culture and education are flourishing; the ancestors and sects have developed culture and education, and they have carried out the merits of educating people, and China is strong and prosperous. Shao Shu is reckless. Since he ascended the throne, the sage Renmao learned from Jixi, cultivated his political and religious knowledge, and transformed his practice into vulgarities; after the reform, his education was even more at home, and the world was like Yanru, and the four descendants were guests.”

"The ministers and others have followed the order to prepare for the establishment of the Capital University. They are afraid that they will not be able to overcome it. I still rely on my emperor to instruct the strategy, and it will be completed. Today, the order is not set up. The tribute department is selected for the great sages, so as to broaden our dynasty's artistic ability. The road is to learn about the learning of all kinds of talents. A total of 36 people were recommended by the local government, and [-] people were specially called by the imperial court to be the professors of the Beijing Normal University. I begged for the holy judge."

When the emperor listened to it, Yuyin replied: "The professor is the model of the teacher. How can the model of the teacher's training be ignored? It is necessary to be able to read and excel. "Half of the Analects governs the world"." Hearing him say "Half of the Analects governs the world", everyone in the hall brought a smile on their faces.

"The prosperity of things has a long history. The teaching of the sages can be close to the Tao by taking one of their skills. I once said that once an invention is made, one industry will be prospered, and one industry will be prosperous and enough food and clothing for thousands of people. The so-called internal governance is prosperous, but it is enough food and clothing. ; Waisher, but the guns are sharp and the soldiers dare to fight."

"Three years of reformation, Jiaozhu's drummers stopped making a sound. In the future, at the end of the world, how can we achieve the meaning of a saint! When 'Yu Yuwen Zai, I am from Zhou', Zhu Zi'an was there?!"

When He Xinyin heard the words "Zhu Zian is here", an uncontrollable smile burst out from his face. Although he did not see the emperor scolding Fang Qiu, he heard those sonorous and powerful speeches, as if those The words were nailed to the bottom of his heart with a steel drill, and his whole body trembled.Immediately, large drops of tears poured out of his eyes and fell on the golden bricks of Hanyuan Hall.

 [Note]: He Xinyin once tried a set of utopias in his hometown of Yongfeng, Jiangxi Province, "constructing the Hetang (one said gathering hall) to unite the clan, to manage the government of the clan, to crown marriages, funerals, and servitudes. No." His contemporary Western thinker Campanella's Sun City was only written on paper, but He Xinyin's Cuihetang had been built on the ground, and he was already ahead in action.Like the utopian socialists, it quickly fails.
