Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Li Qian's first appointment was scheduled for late April. Not only the civil servants needed to prepare, but even he needed to prepare in advance.

Because he felt that for this sutra, he paid much more than the civil servants...

In the front hall of Qianyuan, Li Gan was looking at Lu Zhi beside him with a sad face. At this moment, she was helping His Majesty make his new schedule.

"Your Majesty, the first daily lecture on the [-]st, the Sutra extension on the [-]nd, the court visit on the [-]rd, and the daily lecture on the [-]th..."

As Lu Zhi was writing, he turned his head and saw Li Gan's expression, and couldn't help but cover his red lips and laugh out loud.

"Why does Your Majesty need to be so sad? It's just an opening talk and an extension?"

"It's just...just..."

Li Gan snorted a few times: "You said it lightly, but in the end, I will suffer."

The daily lectures are lectures on weekdays, and Jingyan, as the name suggests, is the extended banquet of Jingyi.

There are fixed days for Jingyan, and it is held every two days in spring and autumn when the weather is mild.

That is, the [-]nd, [-]th and [-]nd of each month, three times a month.

The daily lecture is as long as there is no morning court and no sutra extension, it will be carried out.

What Li Gan hates the most is that the daily lecture starts at the same time as the morning lecture!That is to say, from now on, Li Gan will get up at four o'clock in the morning almost every morning!

Of course, he is not without holidays.

Whenever there is bad weather such as wind and rain, or the emperor is not feeling well, he can send a decree to stop the lecture.

In addition, Li Qian also has winter and summer vacations.

The solar term that begins in spring continues until the summer solstice, while the solar term that begins in autumn continues until the winter solstice.

Revisiting school days belongs to yes.

"Your Majesty, at worst, I will wake up with you."

Lu Zhi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, she also knew that what Li Qian disliked the most was being disturbed by others to sleep.

Now he has to get up early every day to listen to the scriptures taught by those civil servants, which can be said to be the most uncomfortable thing for him.

"What's the use of getting up with me?"

Li Qian sighed softly, it would be the best if he could get up for him... Unfortunately, this is impossible, don't even think about it.

"Since your Majesty doesn't want to get up early, why do you agree to those people to resume the Japanese lecture and Jingyan?" Lu Zhi curiously leaned next to Li Gan.

Li Qian didn't answer her right away, but was silent for a moment.

"Ejin, what do you think of my knowledge?"

"Your Majesty not only reads the memorials every day, but also often goes to the Tibetan Library to study. Now he is naturally talented and well-educated." Lu Zhi replied without hesitation.

"Ha ha……"

Li Gan smiled, listening to Lu Zhi's answer, he suddenly thought of Zou Ji's deeds.

Zou Ji asked all the people around him, but he couldn't get a true and pertinent answer. He didn't expect that he himself is almost like this now.

But good words will always make people feel better, Li Qian shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm still far away."

"The civil servants are all well-read poems and books, and they have passed the imperial examination step by step. How can I match them?"

He has never been so arrogant that he thinks that what he has learned in one year is comparable to what others have learned in half a lifetime.

"However, His Majesty's nature is short, and his wisdom has already developed..."

Lu Zhi opened his mouth to say something, in the consensus of the world, the emperor dragon species is naturally different from normal people.

"Even if you are talented, you have to study hard."

Li Gan shook his head and interrupted her: "Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who has not learned before."

"What I said to those civil servants that day was just a moment of anger. In fact, I never thought about it that way."

"Only by studying hard, I will not be fooled by those civil servants."

The expression on Lu Zhi's charming face was somewhat complicated, and she nodded lightly: "Your Majesty, I understand."

After speaking, he returned to the other side and continued to help Li Gan organize his schedule.

Li Gan began to think seriously about the affairs of the civil servants.

From the founding of Dagan to the present, the Civil Service Group has been constantly evolving, iterating, and updating.

As they gradually became stronger and optimized, they were also crowding out generals, eunuchs, and even emperors, and gradually took over power from these people.

However, due to the constant wars in Dagan, frequent wars from the border, the Western Regions, and even the vassal states, and as long as there are wars, the group of generals will gradually become stronger, and even civil officials can't do much about them.

In the struggle between eunuchs and civil officials, the civil officials had the upper hand, but although the eunuchs declined, they would not be completely defeated by them.

The last is the emperor.

Although the civil servants said they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, most of their actions were to limit and take over the power of the emperor.

Therefore, in their inheritance from generation to generation, with the continuous efforts of civil servants, the act of "governing the country" has long been turned into a matter with a very high threshold by civil officials.

Those who passed the imperial examination and entered the imperial court were all elites selected among scholars, with the quickest wit and the most profound knowledge...

But the emperor was different. Although the royal family inherited through blood had the best educational resources, there was no guarantee that each generation could keep up with the civil servants.

As long as they can't keep up, or feel tired and bored, the emperor has to rely on the civil servants to govern the country, and even entrust this matter to them.

The previous Yingzong and Muzong were examples of this.

Now Li Gan doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of those two people. They can let go because there was still a powerful and powerful leader for them at that time.

But if Li Gan still let go, then Dagan, who is too rotten to be rotten now, will definitely teach him a lesson... maybe at the cost of his life.

Although the situation in the Dagan court, vassal states, and grasslands is still relatively calm, from Li Gan's current perspective, this situation similar to a high-handed confrontation is bound to be unstable.

Perhaps as long as there is a spark, it will explode directly.

What Li Qian had to do was to disassemble the gunpowder barrel without causing an explosion, pour out all the gunpowder inside, and slowly eliminate its danger.

So he can no longer mess it up, and he can no longer let these civil servants mess around...

As April comes to the end of the month, spring is gradually coming to an end, and summer is getting closer and closer.

On April [-], Li Gan's first daily lecture will begin.

At the six quarters of Yin time, Li Gan woke up from his sleep with difficulty under the call of Gong'e.

Under the gentle service of the unknown concubine beside her, she dressed and washed before leaving the palace.

The eunuchs accompanied His Majesty's sedan chair and drove southward.

"His Majesty."

The old eunuch came to the side of the sedan chair rather dog-leggedly, and handed Li Gan a warm food box: "The Wenhua Palace said that the civil servants attending the speech are coming soon."

"it is good."

Li Gan nodded listlessly, lifted the lid, picked up a few snacks, and gnawed them whole.

Although there is a rule that no food or drink is allowed before the daily lecture, this kind of nonsense rule is for the people below, and Li Gan never abides by it.

I can't even eat enough to eat, so how can I have the energy to attend classes?

~~
Li Qian was still in the mood to fill his stomach, but his teachers on the other side were not in the mood at all.

Not to mention that there is a rule not to eat in advance, even if there is no rule, they must be too nervous to eat.

The location of the daily lecture is Wenhua Palace, which is where Qin Hui and his other examiners reviewed the examination papers of the palace examination.

The bright red palace walls and golden glazed cornices loomed under the dark mist in the morning. Several eunuchs led a group of civil servants forward in the deserted mist with the palace lanterns flickering on and off.

Qin Hui, who was dressed in a red robe and black gauze on his head, walked in the first place, followed by Ding Rukui, the left servant under the door.

Behind are the four Japanese lecturers.

Zhuge Liang and Li Gefei lined up, while Bao Zheng and Tang Si retreated.

Although these four people have not yet reached the fourth rank, the robes they are wearing today are all bright red.

Not only the robes, but even the head was replaced with a red vermillion gauze hat, red wing feathers, red belt... Even the boots were red.

This is also the rule of the imperial court. All Japanese lecturers must wear red all over their bodies when they speak for the emperor for the first time.

It's just that in the past, one of the four people wore red. If we go back to the last time when all officials wore red for four days, I'm afraid it will be at the beginning of the founding of the country.

A group of people came to the gate of Wenhua Hall, Qin Hui stopped, turned around and looked at the four people behind.

"Your sermons have been read before, and you have put some thought into them."

Qin Hui's tone was cold, and he said in a low voice: "But this is the first daily lecture that His Majesty reopened after the postponement, so we can't be too cautious."

The four of them were speechless for a while, and Tang Situ, the general manager of Zhongshu Province, wanted to nod, but he lowered his head again under Qin Hui's cold gaze.

"Yes, Prime Minister Qin."

After Qin Hui expressed his attitude, he stopped talking nonsense, but turned around and went to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhuge Liang and Li Gefei in the rear tightly held the sermons in their sleeves and followed behind him.

Although the daily teaching lectures are written by the daily lecturers themselves, after they are finished, they have to hand them over to Zaifu for review and correction before they can give lectures.

Zaifu Zaifu not only wants to dominate, but also has the post of assistant left, which is reflected here.

The knowledge of the Emperor Fu Zuo, helping him eliminate all unstable factors is also a kind of Fu Zuo.

In addition, before the start of the daily lecture, the prime minister will also specify the scope of the lectures for the daily lecturers. The daily lecturers cannot make any exceptions during the lecture, otherwise they will wait for the final score.

It stands to reason that this work should be mainly in charge of Yan Song, the left minister, but now that he is not in the capital, Qin Hui and Yan Song's deputy can only come.

Qin Hui and the others did not stay in the hall, but walked through the main hall and the apse all the way, and came to the north of the apse to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.

The few people had just stood there for a while, when there were three consecutive sound of silent whips from the north direction, and then two eunuchs holding whips came out from the distant mist.

Behind them are two rows of eunuchs carrying palace lanterns, and the outlines of ceremonial guards and sedan chairs looming in the mist.

Several people stood by the side of the road, bowed and waited: "I will see Your Majesty."

Li Gan heard the voice outside, and then waved to the eunuchs to stop the sedan chair, and he himself stepped down.

Just now, he heard the voice outside a bit familiar, but now he saw Qin Hui as soon as he came out.

"President Qin?"

Li Qian was still a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

He looked at Ding Rukui on the left side of the road again: "Ding Shilang, are you there?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ding Rukui was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qin Hui from the other side.

Qin Hui clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the Japanese lectures have not been given for decades. Today is the first time for several lecturers to give lectures, and it is also the first time for the imperial court to hold a daily lecture in recent years."

"There is no experience in the court or anywhere in the palace, so the minister came to listen in order to avoid accidents and offend His Majesty.

Ding Rukui opened his mouth, then cupped his hands and said, "It's the same with me."

Li Gan nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words. Speaking of this first day, the civil servants would definitely not want any accidents.

But just look at the two people they selected.

Zhuge Liang and Li Gefei, one is Li Gan often summoned to the palace to give lectures on scriptures, and the other is also Li Gefei whom he summoned in person.

The civil servants picked two people who had the best impression on his side to come and talk. Isn't that enough to explain?

Of course, if Qin Hui knew what Li Gan was thinking, he would definitely say that His Majesty's guess was too correct.

In fact, not only he and Ding Rukui wanted to come, but also ministers from the six ministries of the foreign court wanted to come and participate in this first Japanese lecture.

Today is the daily lecture, and tomorrow is the large-scale economic extension. Even if it is just a rehearsal, it is good to accumulate experience for tomorrow.

It's just that internal and external courts are different after all, and they still can't come because of their status.

"I was only interested in asking questions, but I forgot the business."

Li Gan said with a smile: "Everyone in the Qing family will be at peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thanking them, they followed Li Gan's footsteps and walked into the hall.

The daily lecture is held in the corridor between the Wenhua Hall and the apse. Li Gan sits in the main seat, and on the side are the seats of Qin Hui and Ding Rukui, and the seats of two living officials.

The two lecturers, Zhuge Liang and Li Gefei, had to stand in front of Li Gan's imperial guard and explain to him.

Copper lamps were lit on the lap tables on both sides of the corridor, shining faintly through the morning mist.

After Li Gan sat down, he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him with a smile: "Which of the two gentlemen will lecture on scriptures? Which one will lecture on history?"

Zhuge Liang went out and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I am responsible for explaining the scriptures to Your Majesty."

Li Gefei stared blankly at Li Gan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of telling history."

"It's not too late, let's get started!"

Li Gan nodded, and the old eunuch hurried forward and placed books, palace lanterns, and golden rulers on the table.

Li Gefei also hurriedly stepped aside, leaving only Zhuge Liang in front.

"Your Majesty, what I'm talking about for Your Majesty today is the virtue of Shun. Virtue is a sage, respected as the son of heaven, and rich in the world. The ancestral temple honors it, and the descendants protect it. Therefore, the great virtue must have his position and his salary. He must have his name, You will live forever..."

Zhuge Liang's explanation was as serious as a courtier giving a lecture to a monarch, but it was not to the point of nervousness. The whole process was very smooth, and he even gave a few vivid examples from classics from time to time, which made Li Gan very engrossed.

Qin Hui and Ding Rukui on the side also nodded slightly, and it was indeed a very correct decision to choose Zhuge Liang...

Daily lectures are generally divided into two classes, one for scriptures and one for history.

According to the rules, when Zhuge Liang was explaining, Li Qian could not make a sound until Zhuge Liang finished speaking, and then the question-and-answer session was held.

Li Gan asked Zhuge Liang a few questions, and then turned his attention to Qin Hui in an unreasonable manner...
