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

The questions Li Gan asked Zhuge Liang were all very normal questions, which helped him deepen his understanding of the scriptures.

But at this time, he repeated the question to Qin Hui again.

"Qin Xiang, do you think the great virtue of the ancient holy master can make him invincible?"

Qin Hui was obviously a little surprised when he was asked, he paused for a moment, probably thinking whether Li Qian was digging a hole for him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have the same opinion as Zhuge Xiuzhuan."

Can it be different?
Zhuge Liang's sermons were reviewed and corrected by him, and if they were not the same, they would not pass the review.

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "The ancient sage presided over the righteousness, and the people would spontaneously flock to the virtuous lord, so the sage master got his position and name."

"If things go on like this, even Shun's enemies will be influenced by his virtue and will not be his enemies."

Well, this is called invincible.

Li Gan nodded slightly after listening, it was really similar to Zhuge Liang's explanation just now, it was just a different way of saying it.

However, he came to listen to these scripture courses, which does not mean that he will regard these scriptures as a standard and a law for his own conduct.

Just like what Zhuge Liang said just now, in Li Qian's view, it is to ask him, the emperor, not to do anything out of line, to cultivate his morality and be a virtuous person.

In Li Qian's view, this may be the emperor that the civil servants want to see. If possible, some holy emperor should be added to rule. A mascot is fine, governing the country depends on civil servants...

"What Qin Xiang said is reasonable."

Li Gan nodded, with a bit of envy on his face: "It would be great if one day, I can also be as virtuous as Emperor Shun."

Germany?
It doesn't seem to be very close...

Qin Hui was secretly wary of His Majesty's abnormal behavior, but on his face he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a genius, as long as he is diligent in self-cultivation, he will surely be comparable to the achievements of the ancient sages."

Just compare their achievements, not compare them.

"it is good."

Li Gan nodded with emotion: "Zhuge Xiu wrote a good speech, and Qin Xiang also said it well, which made me feel deeply."

The morning mist gradually thinned, and the light in the corridor was a little brighter, and everyone was covered with a thin layer of dew.

The old eunuch came up with a cloak, but Li Gan refused.

With a smile on his face, he just looked at Qin Hui and asked, "However, I didn't expect that the two of you would see the same thing. Prime Minister Qin, did you help revise the sermon written by Zhuge?"

Qin Hui paused for a moment, and then immediately cheered up: "Return to Your Majesty, the minister has the position of assisting the government..."

"I know."

Li Gan nodded. He didn't say yes or no, but smiled and said, "Next time you finish revising the sermon, send someone to send it to me."

"If it's tomorrow's daily lecture, it's best to have it delivered before You o'clock today."

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know what His Majesty's purpose was, but he subconsciously wanted to refuse: "Your Majesty, there was no such method before..."

"If there is no law, then write one."

After Li Gan finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his tone was a bit hard, and he said to Qin Hui in a slow voice: "I just want to preview the second day's lecture in advance, and I will naturally understand it faster when I speak later." …

Ding Rukui on the side jumped out before Qin Hui, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's desire to learn makes me and other ordinary people feel ashamed."

He turned his head and looked to the side: "President Qin, I think this is the way to improve the sacred learning. This is a good thing, why can't we do it?"

Qin Hui took a deep breath, and followed suit: "Your Majesty, I am pedantic, please forgive me."

Anyway, what is going to be sent is not the original manuscripts of those lecturers, but his revised content. The emperor will know sooner or later, so what if it is sent to him in advance?

Tang Situi, the life note officer at the side, looked at the scene in front of him with some hesitation, and stood behind the table with a pen in his hand, wondering if he should write down the scene of Prime Minister Qin's embarrassment.

But Bao Zheng on the other side didn't care at all, and began to write vigorously after dipping in green ink.

Seeing this scene, Tang Situi gritted his teeth and started writing.

"It's okay."

Li Gan waved his hand, and the smile returned to his face: "In the future, I still have to trouble Qin Xiang and Ding Shilang to correct the daily sermons in advance."

The two agreed that this is what it should be...

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and a round of red sun was rising from the east, and the sunshine dispelled the cold and damp air in the hallway.

The eunuchs around came up, extinguished the palace lamps on the laps on both sides, and reminded His Majesty that the time had come.

"Your Majesty, please go and rest for a while."

This is also the time for lunch between classes. Li Gan had already stuffed his stomach before coming, but the others might still be hungry.

"Everyone, let's go to dinner first, and we will continue later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After simply eating something and going to the bathroom, Li Gan returned to the corridor.

At this time, Qin Hui and the others were already waiting here.

Just now Zhuge Liang had finished speaking, and now it was the turn of Li Gefei on the other side.

"Li Gefei, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, is speaking to His Majesty."

Qin Hui looked down at Li Gefei who was waiting.

Although Li Gefei is his elder, he has to be called by his position when working.

Li Gefei was not much older than Qin Hui. Hearing the summons, he took a deep breath and hurried forward.

With a colleague like Zhuge Liang in front of him, whoever comes here will feel the pressure and be nervous.

It's just that Li Gefei has read poetry and books after all, and has the essence in his stomach, so he quickly calmed down and bowed to Li Gan.

Li Qian nodded with a smile, and encouraged him casually: "I read Li Langzhong's article before and did a good job. I think history will not disappoint me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Gefei handed over Xie En, I don't know if it was Li Qian's illusion, but now Li Gefei is even more nervous.

"Your Majesty, what I want to tell His Majesty is the ancient King Shun..."

What Zhuge Liang talked about was knowledge and truth, while what Li Gefei talked about was what happened at that time as recorded in the classics of history.

In Li Gefei's clear and clear voice of reciting the book, time passed quickly until Li Gan finally finished asking questions.

The day is over.

Qin Hui and Ding Rukui, who had been on the sidelines, both heaved a sigh of relief.

This day, I don't seek meritorious service, but seek no faults. As long as there are no accidents, it is the greatest success.

With today's rehearsal, presumably there will be no surprises in tomorrow's Jingyan... right? …

After the day's lecture, Qin Hui and others respectfully sent off His Majesty's car before turning around and leaving.

"You must have heard His Majesty's instructions just now."

Arriving in front of Wenhua Hall, Qin Hui turned around and looked at the four lecturers: "In the future, the lectures will be sent to Wenyuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion earlier, and handed over to Zhenxiang and Ding Shilang."

Tang Situi responded immediately: "Yes, Prime Minister Qin."

Several others also took orders.

Seeing the situation, Qin Hui nodded slightly: "The other two are not here, just wait to tell them, let's go back to the Yamen!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Tang Situi hurriedly walked a few steps, and followed Qin Hui closely. He went to Zhongshu Province to go with Qin Hui. This kind of good opportunity to curry favor with the leader should not be missed.

After Li Gefei saluted and said goodbye, he also walked to the Ministry of Rites, while Zhuge Liang and Bao Zheng went back to the Imperial Academy together.

In fact, the Japanese officials have a special duty house, but now it is useless, and no one has gone there.

Because in the past, the Japanese lecturers were all Hanlin, so you don’t have to travel around when you hold this position, and you don’t even go to the Hanlin Academy many times.

But now the Japanese officials have brought people from the outer dynasty, and there are still a lot of things waiting for these people in their yamen, so it is naturally impossible to stay in the Japanese official's leisurely duty room.

Ministry of Rites.

Li Gefei, who had just finished his daily lecture, walked in from the entrance of the yamen's lobby, and saw that all his officials went up to salute and say hello, and there was no shortage of flattery among them.

There were even officials who didn't want to hear the noise and ran out of the duty room specially to make eye contact with Li Gefei.

In the past few days, Li Gefei was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor when he first took office, and someone picked it up.

Everyone understands that after registering with His Majesty and many elders, the day of this Yuanwailang's prosperity may not be far away.

After Li Gefei returned to the yamen, he did not go back to his own valet first, but first went outside the valet of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Song Qiaonian, the former right servant, came to a dark end, and now he is replaced by Cai Bian, who is the direct supervisor of the shrine priest.

Li Gefei just finished knocking on the door when Cai Bian's voice came from inside: "Come in."

"I have seen the Lord Ministry."

Li Gefei saluted him after entering, and looked at Cai Bian with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

Compared to his previous boss, Song Qiaonian, Li Gefei has a better sense of Cai Bian.

Of course, this is not because Cai Bian is the younger brother of the powerful minister Cai Jing, and he leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but that the two have had an intersection before.

The son of Li Gefei's sister-in-law, who is also a cousin of Qin Hui's wife, was imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion by accident. At that time, Cai Bian was just an official from the sixth-rank Jingzhao Mansion, and happened to be in charge of hearing the case.

At first, Qin Hui and Li Gefei thought that Cai Bian would definitely help Cai Jing, and then rescue Song Min, the governor of Longxi County at that time.

But instead of helping his brother blackmail Qin Hui, Cai Bian insisted on dealing with it fairly and refused to close the case without evidence.

Moreover, in the end, he didn't compromise with anyone, and he didn't release him until he was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and replaced with a new pusher.

Facing the two powerful ministers in the court, he insisted on justice and never bowed his head at all. No matter who met such a person, he would be very impressed, and Li Gefei was no exception. …

Since then, he has left a deep impression on Cai Bian.

At that time, Li Gefei was already a sixth-rank doctor of imperial studies, even higher than Cai Bian, who promoted officials from the sixth rank.

But time has changed, and in less than a year, Cai Bian became the Minister of Rites of Zhengsanpin and Li Gefei's immediate boss.

It's a complex feeling that you don't know unless you experience it yourself.

"Uncle Wen?"

Cai Bian raised his head from the table and was obviously surprised to see Li Gefei.

"Are you back from speaking to His Majesty?"

With a smile on his face, he stood up from behind the table.

Li Gefei recovered from his chaotic thoughts, nodded and cupped his hands and said, "The lower official has just returned to the yamen, and he came here to report to the minister."

Cai Bian smiled and shook his head: "Let's report to Uncle Da Zong with me."

Li Gefei was able to become a lecturer, and Wang Mang also contributed a lot. Now this kind of report must not ignore him. As a subordinate, Cai Bian still has this awareness.

And Li Gefei also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came to Cai Bian's place immediately after returning to the Ministry of Rites. If he went to Wang Mang first and then came here, he would be facing an embarrassing situation now.

It is very taboo to go directly to the higher-ups without directly reporting to the superior. This is not about profiteering, but the most common common sense in the officialdom and sophistication of the world. Li Gefei naturally understands it.

The two left the guard room one after the other, and rushed towards Wang Mang's guard room on the second floor.

The situation here fell into the eyes of many people, and a few small officials in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites were moved after hearing the news...

As these people dispersed, many Japanese officials returned to the yamen, and the officials of the DPRK and China who followed the Japanese also learned of the situation one by one.

Regarding His Majesty's strange request, after everyone couldn't figure it out at first, they stopped thinking about it.

It doesn't matter whether he really wants to learn or has other purposes. Knowing the content of the sermon half a day in advance won't make much difference.

On the contrary, the daily talks went well, and the news that the emperor did not contradict was paid more attention to by the elders.

Since there is no conflict, then tomorrow's Jingyan will probably be fine...

One of the petty officials who left the Ministry of Rites ran to the Ministry of Punishment not far from the Ministry of Rites, and all the way to the door of Cai Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Gao Xun looked at him like this, and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

The little official came back to his senses and hurriedly reported: "My lord, Li Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites has just come back and has already gone to see the eldest uncle with Cai Butang. I see that Li Langzhong looks relaxed, I think it is..."

Gao Xun didn't listen to his thoughts and subjective guesses, but directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

The little official made a embarrassed face, bowed and retreated.

Song Qiaonian has been in the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites for too long. Many people in the Ministry of Rites are loyal to him. Now Cai Bian succeeds him as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. The Cai party can easily take over Song Qiaonian's former position through Cai Bian. power.

Seeing Gao Xun's attitude towards this little official so casually, Cai Jing frowned indiscernibly, but in the end he was tolerant and didn't say anything.

After the clerk closed them and left, the air in the duty room returned to dull and depressing.

The three of them stared at the map on the table for a long time, and finally Deng Xunwu spoke first: "Lord Cai, the news should be arriving in the capital soon..."

Before Cai Jing opened his mouth, Gao Xun became a little impatient: "They only said to play by ear, but they didn't say when exactly, maybe today is just the beginning..."

Deng Xunwu didn't argue with him, his attention was all on Cai Jing at the moment.

Cai Jing looked at the vast territory of Dagan on the map, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any omission in the previous preparations?"

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun looked at each other, and they said in unison: "There are no omissions."

Cai Jing nodded lightly: "It's not too late, let's start."
