Jingming

Chapter 153 Emperor Mingji

In this season, there are actually no flowers in the imperial garden.

There are only a few plum blossoms in the garden. What can we see from the Viewing Flower Hall?
There was only one flower in front of him, and Zhu Houcong looked at Zhu Yunming's brushstrokes with great interest.

He is famous for his calligraphy, but he is not careless in painting, but he is not as good as Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming's painting skills.

At this moment, although Zhu Yunming didn't know who he was painting, he understood the Diyi clothes worn by the beauty on the window sill overlooking the north of the Forbidden City.

Although the emperor was not married, he already had a woman.

This is very likely to be a noble in the harem in the future.

So whether it was for his own life or dealing with the unpredictable emperor beside him, Zhu Yunming was painting with all his heart.

"... I am ashamed, the brushwork is crude, I can't fully describe the dignity and elegance of the empress..."

Lin Qingping was very happy looking at the painting, but Zhu Yunming was apprehensive and humble.

Fu Xizhe was quite satisfied: "Qingping, how about he come and see?"

How much is left so far?
It wasn't until this time that the Hall of Martial Arts really put its mind to the matter of "Wild Notes".

"Being an official is not a matter of knowing." Lin Qingping looked at me and said, "It's just that some people are stupid. It lies in the communication between people and the understanding of why many things are done the way they are. How to take the imperial examination, read There is no reason for the judge to grade the papers. No matter how low his talent in poetry and prose is, he understands the importance of style, and he understands that being able to obey the style requirements is to comply with the requirements of being an official, so how can he be inferior?"

"...Eunuch Wei, do you know that Emperor Mingji, what is the regulation?"
"Let's sign it, use a seal, and hide it."

Before I smiled, I said: "That's not an order from His Majesty, all princes and young masters, get up."

He couldn't forget the question when His Majesty summoned him for the first time after arriving in Beijing:

Zhu Yunming couldn't answer because the answer was obvious.

Fu Xizhe knelt down and said that he was afraid and dared.

Did the emperor concentrate on state affairs as before, but went to the imperial garden with you to play, and even summoned famous talents to paint for himself.

As for Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, those whose relatives' families do not have titles are on the list that Wei Bin will contact for "negotiations" this time.

Zhu Yunming knew that it was a painting specially made for him by one of the seven young talents in Wuzhong, so he didn't care what it was?Bad is right!

The total number of people has exceeded 40, Wei Bin raised his eyes and stood up before everyone arrived, and said calmly: "Close the door."

Wei Bin continued: "I said that day that their titles were earned by their ancestors' bloodshed and meritorious deeds. I told their fathers that if they want to make military exploits again, I will give them a chance. If they have the heart to retreat, they just want to live a little longer." I will give you a chance to live a rich life. In the eyes, it is about making money and living a rich life!"

Lin Qingping, who received less investigation information, looked at me: "Do you know why I failed in repeated trials?"

As for the more than [-] vassal princes, counting the county princes and other clan relatives, they all use it.

"So I don't think he is a talent for governing the world, but since he has created such a small reputation, he should give full play to his strengths." Fu Xizhe made me stand up again, "Poetry, calligraphy, and the beauty of diction are useless. Here It is for the use of the country, not for the people. After I summoned Tang Yin and Wenbi, although you and the other seven talents in Wuzhong have lost one of them, it may be possible to leave another good name for you, Xiao Ming, and in Huaxia Shenzhou, and pass it on through the ages and far away. Spread the seven seas. Don’t worry about the old things, whether he praises Taizong or not, if Taizong is in person, I have to say, "The grandfather has no great achievements, so why be afraid of the predecessors' praise or disapproval." Wait for the call with peace of mind."

Dukes: Duke Ding, Duke Wei, Duke Cheng, Duke Ying, Duke Qian, just seven families.

Today, someone from outside the palace finally came to inform us that we will have a meeting at Zhu Houcong on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Too few lords and titles are now disappearing in the long river of history.

A sigh of emotion flashed across Wei Bin's heart, how could the emperor know how to use the first sliver of deterrence from a person like me?

"So disgusting?"

Why do I want to be an official?
Zhu Houcong's small door was slowly closed by the eunuch, so the children of Xunchen's family were all frightened and turned pale, and they had to rely on the authority of our family to maintain their dignity.

Did Lin Qingping tell me any small truths, I would be interested in coming to the Hall of Martial Arts.

In the seven paragraphs, Fu Xizhe was completely defeated by that logic.

The Hall of Martial Arts has something to say.

But Lin Qingping didn't feel complacent about it. Instead, she asked me to sit aside: "His affairs are so trivial, and I can end his life with one word. He lives in fear and fear, and lives like years."

The remaining prestige of the four tigers finally emerged in the minds of those stewards, and they each persuaded their masters.

Marquis: Marquis of Wuding, Marquis of Taining, Marquis of Zhenyuan, Marquis of Yongkang, Marquis of Longping, Marquis of Anping, Marquis of Cheng'an, Marquis of Fengcheng, Marquis of Xining, Marquis of Yangwu, Marquis of Funing, Marquis of Huaining, there are only [-] hereditary marquises in existence.

There are methods, there are cameras, well-known painters are not "top photographers"-even though the Temple of Martial Arts is not famous for its painting skills.

Lin Qingping smiled and watched Wuyingdian inscribed her name under the scroll, and even inscribed a poem on her forehead.

Does anyone know what proton it is?
The relatives in the capital are not bad, and other officials in various parts of our country, especially those who are permanently stationed in Nanzhili and even those who came from the government of Guizhou in Yunnan, have waited for a short time in the capital.

My painting is considered excellent, so I am humble to the emperor.

"It is said that the article hates fate, but he actually said that it is fate." Fu Xizhe asked me to sit up, "The "Wild Notes" written by him was circulated and published by unintentional people. His responsibility is quite large. Because of this The reason why the thieves circulated and published his articles is because of his little reputation."

Zhongshan Hou Tanghe's predecessor's title is gone, and there is still a predecessor who can inherit the Nanjing Jinyiwei Commander.Marquis of Yan'an, Marquis of Ji'an, Marquis of Jiang Xia, Marquis of Huai'an...

……

The emperor personally summoned, except for the 78 princes and uncles, except for the absence of one of the military families notified by Guo Xun, all of them sent their heirs and housekeepers there.

Wei Bin opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty's word of mouth!"

However, His Majesty followed up and said: "A hundred years ago, the world would pass on the name of his poetry and calligraphy, but the world would seldom pass on the name of him being an official who benefited one party. So, why did he come to be an official party? A little less salary? When he was an official, did Zhu Zhishan calligraphy in Wuzhong have many people asking for it? The price is quite high?"

Then the former emperor said: "He is not yet seventy, let's focus on one, stay in the capital and prepare for me to ask for calligraphy and poetry."

That is naturally a sophistry, and it was also because I was frightened and frightened all the way through half of Xiaoming and came to the emperor, and was asked that by the emperor.

"...Saint Boon?"

One of the four tigers in the past.

"I bow to you." Wei Bin spoke on behalf of the emperor, with a serious face, "Afterwards, I will give a banquet. Their fathers, no one has arrived, and no one is in Nanjing to listen to my words. We listened to my words and sent them off. to the capital."

Early in the morning, the heirs sent by each family to the capital and the stewards sent by their own families have not yet gathered in Xihuamen.

In other words, His Majesty is going to investigate my arrangements for Emperor Taizong.

Outside Zhu Houcong, Wei Bin waited there early on behalf of the emperor, sitting on the side and lower head.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, 87 knights were granted in the Hongwu Dynasty, 77 in the Jianwen Dynasty, [-] in the Yongle Dynasty, [-] in the Hongxi Dynasty, [-] in the Xuande Dynasty, [-] in the Zhengtong Dynasty, [-] in the Jingtai Dynasty, [-] in the Tianshun Dynasty, [-] in the Chenghua Dynasty, and [-] in the Hongzhi Dynasty Yes, Zhengde Chao Qi.

The hall was suddenly quiet, and Wei Bin realized why the task was "very heavy".

Zhu Houcong immediately knelt down in the main hall.

Lin Qingping did have the so-called Hall of Martial Arts saying that Taizong Emperor Zhu Diyi, Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, Fang Muxian's incident happened, and the spread of "Wild Notes" would be suppressed.

The words are rough, so everyone can understand them.

After coming to Beijing, the elders outside the family confessed: His Majesty said that he brought the family to make money together, so he should be afraid.

"...The concubine hates it very much." Fu Xizhe said it sincerely.

So I smiled all over my face, but I spoke politely: "Their fathers used to see our family, and they had to speak out. Now our family is still here under the emperor's order. Do you think this is a game? I understand. , just shut your mouth. Why did they think His Majesty asked their father to be in charge of the family?"

Even though he supervised the county schools, expelled some bandits, and did a lot of things that he thought were meaningful, but from the perspective of parents and children, this is nothing.

Lin Qingping looked at you as a gentle and caring man, and had something else to talk about.

The modesty in the Palace of Martial Arts was stripped naked like that.

Dare to point out Jiangshan and describe the story of Taizong and Fang Xiaoru outside the book he wrote, but when he arrived at the imperial empress, he said everything.

I glanced at the young people behind me: "None of them can succeed to the title according to the order of rank, and none of them are qualified. Why did their father send them here instead of others? I am also concerned! Today , I'll just say a little bit."

So I quickly walked to the center behind the crowd, and I knew that those people also knew me and had heard of me.

But he always repairs and puts it so cleverly!

I went to Guangdong to be an official, and the calligraphy has sold a lot, but according to your Majesty, how much achievement have I achieved as an official?
You know that your youth is short, and I also know that you are ripe and delicious.

When Lin Qingping returned to Qingning Palace, Zhu Yunming was still intoxicated admiring his silhouette.

Wuyingdian wanted to cry.

So the Hall of Martial Arts was confused.

"You are the county magistrate of Xingning County. I don't ask how many people there are in Xingning County, and how much taxes are paid. I ask you, you are a parent officer, and the people under your rule. What have you, a parent officer, left for your children? After you leave, you With tens of thousands of children, how many of them can inherit the shadow of your parents? As a parent, have you ever wondered if your children are doing well?"

Don't be an official if you want to be famous, and be bad if you want to be an official. If you dare to leave words, why does the queen keep her word?

It is like giving full play to some value, leaving less literary and artistic works and passing them down in previous lives.

So why did you write this thing in the first place?
Wuyingdian actually understands a little bit, but he wants to hear what the emperor has to say, so he looks at me.

Just those eight people, what kind of officials are they going to do?Is it official stuff?
Today I was ordered to enter the palace, but I was painting for the nobles in the palace.

That was not the house of honorable ministers that Lin Qingping faced in the future.

"Since he has the right words to govern a county, or dares to bluntly praise him, why is it reasonable to criticize Emperor Taizong and speak falsely about the old affairs of the future dynasty just because of a few words?"

Your Majesty Tun, the stewards can't enter the palace together.Enter from the Xihua Gate and go directly to Zhu Houcong.

Then the former emperor walked up to me and said, "I know that he has been successful in repeated trials, but he has no sense of talent in his chest. I just want to tell him that the talent for scriptures and righteousness, the talent for poetry, calligraphy, painting and literature, have nothing to do with governing the country. The talents of the people are two different things.”

Zhu Yunming came back to his senses, put on the picture scroll and untied the shawl for me.

Now, it's just the painting of that non-first-class artist in the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yunming is not happy about his victory, as if he has obtained some rare treasure.

Earl: Xing'an Bo, Xiangcheng Bo, Xinning Bo, Yingcheng Bo, Xincheng Bo, Pingjiang Bo, Ningyang Bo, Anxiang Bo, Suian Bo, Anyuan Bo, Gong Shun Bo, Guangning Bo, Wu Tui Bo , Baodingbo, Qingpingbo, Chongxinbo, Dingxibo, Jingyuanbo, Nanhebo, Nanningbo, Fengrunbo, Dongningbo, Huairoubo, Wupingbo, Xuanchengbo, Zhangwubo, Wujingbo, Fuqiang Bo, Ning and Jinbo, there are 74 earls without world certificates.

Is that bad?

In addition, Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming are also on their way to Beijing under the imperial edict?

Hall of Martial Arts did not expect that the emperor would tell me those things from that angle, combined with his experience of being an official for several years, he knelt down with emotion: "Your Majesty just understood the subject thoroughly today."

Are you afraid?Called into the palace to paint, he brought all his private seals with him.

Lin Qingping recalled the words and deeds of the ministers outside the national policy meeting and many occasions afterwards, and said with emotion: "It is fundamental to be able to hear the stringed songs to know the elegant meaning, and if there are mistakes and omissions in the transmission. Four-part writing depends on whether the candidate has the talent. It’s still the same sentence, he thinks it’s bad, it just shows that he doesn’t understand what the imperial examination is about. There are so few scholars in the sky, can it be possible that all the low-school retirees can learn Are they all bad? With me, it’s just easier for them to adapt to the officialdom than others.”

But I think His Majesty is making things difficult for others.

Enjoy and enjoy.

Seeing the bad guys look up, Wei Bin came forward and said: "Let them bring in the stewards. What I said is false. I hope they will follow me to earn money in a law-abiding manner. Give them eight months, how to participate, how much to participate , they discussed and decided with their elders. Eight months ago, Huang Mingji accepted their new shares again."

After I became an official, few people really want my calligraphy, and the asking price is always high.

As for the seal, Wuyingdian also brought its own private seal.

Wei Bin paused for a while, and then said: "From then on, they were not involved in the clean-up of the imperial store and the official store. That's the intention, it's the intention. The ancestral precepts, the laws of the country, and the family rules, they enjoy the title and salary, I was able to do business under the guise of my servants, but since I was young, there has been no incident of embezzling people's land and property. I think of their ancestors' merits for those things, and I can bear to deprive them of them according to the law. However, the courtiers have repeatedly made no suggestions, and I can justify it. Today, we specially appointed Wei Bin to be in charge and set up the Huangmingji firm, and they will listen to Wei Bin's analysis of his meaning and participate in the matter as appropriate."

The Hall of Martial Arts was sad.

Wei Bin didn't care about the resentment of some young masters, but just looked at it fiercely.

Before letting Fu Xizhe go back first, Lin Qingping looked at the Hall of Martial Arts with a smile.

The Duke of the Eight Kingdoms in the Hongwu Dynasty, Xu Da was still there before, and there was no Duke of Ding in the north, and Duke of Wei in the south; Duke Zheng of Chang Yuchun is now only the hereditary commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, and his title is gone; the predecessor of Li Shanchang, is there any title Li Weizhong's Cao Guogong is now only the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei in Nanjing, and his title is gone; Feng Sheng's title is gone; Deng Yu's Wei Guogong is the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei, and his title is gone.

Wei Bin knew that it was almost the honored minister who Xiao Ming had no family certificate, but I represented the emperor.

By this time, the number of those who have still lost their titles is not small.

For me, it’s all about doing what you want.
