My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

The sky was slightly bright, and in front of the main hall of Longevity Palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at the moon that had not yet set in the sky and was thinking.

"Summer tax in June, autumn grain in September, enko in October."

With his hands thrust into his sleeves, Zhu Youxiao thought about what he should do next.

The emperor is very busy.

Many national affairs must be decided by him.

But the emperor was also very idle.

The big things have been decided upon, and the rest is up to the leaders of the ministries below.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youxiao didn't even think that there was anything else he needed to decide recently.

"When was the last military report from Liaodong?"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned to look at Liu Shimin and asked.

"After Xiong Tingbi led the army to Crow Falcon Pass, he found that the elites of the two yellow banners of Jiannu were scattered outside the pass, so he chose to defend instead of attack."

While Zhu Youxiao was still in a daze, a young eunuch came to Liu Shimin and said a few words, and then Liu Shimin spoke up.

The opening banquet was a grand ceremony for the imperial court. One person, the honorable minister, knew the banquet, the bachelor of the cabinet knew or shared the banquet, the six ministers and other official attendants, and there were also people who displayed books, attended rites, offered services, and praised the banquet.

In addition to the sutra banquets held three times a month, there are also daily lectures, which only teach the ministers, bachelors and attendants in the cabinet, and do not require the attendants and other officials.

"Everyone's here."

Nodding, Zhu Youxiao said nothing more.

He asked Bi Ziyan to give him a lecture. Although he started to speak, he kept delaying for more than half a month.

Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at the age of eight, and three Yang (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu) were in charge of the government. He consciously shouldered the important responsibility of educating young children and invited Shangshu to hold a sutra banquet.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's army in Liaodong did not yet have the conditions for a strategic decisive battle with Jiannu. Xiong Tingbi was right to be so cautious.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded.

In the initial system, lectures will be given three times on the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of each month, in the Imperial Palace of Wenhua, and will be temporarily exempted in case of cold or heat.

The Ming Dynasty's Jingyan system did not have a system at the earliest, because the emperor at that time had already received a good education before he ascended the throne and did not need ministers to explain it.

Today is the first time.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shimin said immediately.

Until a hot man appeared who cut open the history books of the Ming Dynasty - the emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"The courtiers are already waiting outside Chengtian Gate."

"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."

Withdrawing his gaze, Zhu Youxiao walked down the steps, got on the carriage, returned to the Forbidden City, and went to the Wenhua Palace.

"Let's go and see what Master Bi will tell me."

"Ah."

"My lord, it was three days ago, on the seventh day of June."

One lecture every day, one lecture every ten days.

The process of the lecture is basically to read along for more than ten times, and then explain the important meaning directly, which is easy to understand only when you understand it.

The emperor has four banquet officials, all appointed by the emperor himself.

Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan, Yuan Keli, Wang Sanshan.

Among them, only Sun Chengzong was born in the Hanlin Academy. Although the other three were Jinshi, they were all actual officials.

But now, the only official in charge of the banquet in Beijing is Bi Ziyan, and the other three are not here. Therefore, the only official in charge of the banquet is Bi Ziyan.

When it was still light, the chief officials of the Ming Dynasty and the Hanlin scholars were already waiting to gather outside Chengtian Gate.

The emperor finally asked civil servants to give lectures, which excited the officials of the outer court. For today's sutra feast, everyone in the Hanlin Academy has been bathing and fasting since three days ago.

Whether we can put the emperor on the right track is today.

Similarly, there are Xunchen, Duke Dingguo, Duke Yingying, and Duke Chengguo, standing on the right side of the civil servants in turn. Behind the three, there is the new Prince Chengxun.

After two hundred years of Yanwu and Xingwen, although the ministers could no longer make a sound in the court, no one dared to drive these people out of the banquet.

Wang Chengxun, the new uncle, was the grandson of Wang Shouren, the famous Mr. Yangming Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming served in the Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing dynasties. Since then, he has been the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and has successively held the posts of Longchangyi Cheng of Guizhou, Luling County Magistrate, Youqiandu Censor, Southern Gansu Governor, and Guangdong Governor. The chaos of Hao.

In the 16th year of Zhengde, after Jiajing entered Beijing, Wang Yangming was granted the title of Xinjian Bo for his military merits and was given a World Voucher.

Although Wang Chengxun was Wang Yangming's grandson, and even though he had some family traditions in psychology, he was regarded as a rough man in the eyes of civil servants.

However, for martial artists, Wang Chengxun can still be used.

After all, the reputation of Xinxue left by our ancestors is too great.

When the emperor rode a carriage, passed the Xihua Gate, changed to a carriage, and moved to the Wenhua Hall.

Chengtianmen, Meridian Gate, and Duanmen opened one after another, and the ministers who were lucky enough to participate in the sutra banquet began to gather at Zuoshunmen.

Eunuchs had already prepared things in the Wenhua Hall. After the emperor came out of the back hall, he only had to sit down and listen to the lecture.

Sitting down behind the imperial desk in the Wenhua Hall, the officials of Honglu Temple quickly placed the lecture notes written by Bi Ziyan in front of the emperor.

"let's start."

Reaching out to flip through Bi Ziyan's handouts, Zhu Youxiao nodded.

then,

The chanting officer quickly began to notify others to enter the hall.

Cabinet bachelor, six ministers, censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, minister of Dali Temple, minister of general affairs, minister of Honglu Temple, important member of the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, commander of the Jinyi Guards, scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Shujishi of Zhanshi Mansion, etc. Wait, more than half of the high-ranking civil and military officials in the imperial court are here.

As the chanting officer read the process of the feast loudly, everyone who was qualified to participate had already stood in front of the royal case.

Listening to the high-pitched reading of the praise officer, and looking at the important court officials standing in front of him, Zhu Youxiao felt his scalp numb.

Damn, I’m sorry!

Jingyan is a thing with more symbolic significance than learning significance.

It has very complicated etiquette and a serious and solemn atmosphere, which represents whether the emperor will show respect for Confucianism and scholars.

This pilgrimage to learn Confucian knowledge represented the imperial power's respect for Confucianism and the thousands of years of Chinese etiquette.

If the emperor behaves frivolously and does not pay attention to etiquette, the lecturer will stop his lecture, and then the "lecturers" in the hall will seriously ask: Is it disrespectful to be a king?

Wanli often asked this question.

Today's lecturer is Bi Ziyan. There is no way, the emperor has no replacement at all, so he can only let this official who is not a Hanlin Academy official.

Beside him, there were two book exhibition officials who were responsible for turning over the "handouts" for the lecturers.

One is Huang Shijun, the number one scholar in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, who is now the prince Xima.

The other one was the second in the rankings in the 35th year of Wanli, and now the young master of Zhanshi Mansion, Zhan Shishi, came.

After the praising officer completes the reporting process, the feast officially begins.

From the time the emperor took his seat, to the announcement of the court officials coming in, to the announcement process, the whole process was quiet.

No one made any strange noises. Their stomachs and intestines had been cleaned up long ago.

On such a solemn occasion, anyone who adds some accompaniment in a non-native language will be impeached and famous all over the world.

There is no room for even writing a letter to refute. (End of chapter)
