Idle courtiers

Chapter 357

Receiving the emperor's praise, Zhou Nan was proud of himself. After a day of exhaustion, without eating or drinking, and sweating all over, his hard work was not in vain.

This Qing Ci was something he had seen on the Internet before, and it was written by the Chinese Taoist Association to worship Zhongyue Songshan and pray for the prosperity of the country and the people.

At that time, it seemed to be some important Taoist festival. The local government of Songshan also wanted to take this opportunity to worship the heavens, set up a platform, and perform economic performances, making it very grand.

This has risen to a political task related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Taoists naturally dare not be sloppy.

It is used here today, replacing Songshan Mountain with Yanshan Mountain, which naturally fits the scene.

However, the first thing the emperor praised was his own voice, which made Mr. Zhou a little dumbfounded.

Our Zhou Sizheng liked to sing K in his previous life. At that time, his ideal was to be on "I Am a Singer", and at least he had to be a Maiba.For this reason, he deliberately downloaded a voice training tutorial from the Internet and studied it for half a year.

The effect was obvious. When he entered the karaoke hall, when he opened his voice, everyone shouted: "Why is the original singer not turned off?" It made him very proud for a while.

Later, everyone stopped taking him when they went to sing.

In any case, practicing breathing is still very beneficial.Mr. Zhou speaks now, his words are correct, his voice is not loud, but it is extremely clear and penetrating.

After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, it would be a waste if he didn't serve as an official with his good voice, and didn't go to proclaim the decree.

"It's really well written." The elder Yuan Wei and Yuan Ge next to him nodded slightly at Zhou Nan as a compliment.

A bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, his education and literary appreciation were considered top-notch in the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally recognized the beauty of Zhou Nan's youthful poem.

This article has neat antithesis, gorgeous rhetoric, and is easy to read.

If you ask yourself to write it, you may not be able to make it.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the article hates fate, Zhou Nan suffered so much in his early years, and what he wrote really has charm.

The Qing Ci I made was approved by the emperor and the cabinet elders. Zhou Nan thought in his heart that today's hard work will finally bear fruit, and the emperor may reward me later.This Jiajing old man is very stingy, probably only a fragrant leaf crown or a few offering fruits, but it is worth bragging about.

At this moment, Feng Bao came out of Yuxi Hall, took a deep look at Zhou Nan, and whispered something in Jiajing's ear.

Because of the distance, and the sound of God's optimism was earth-shattering.Especially the suona, known as the little hooligan of the musical instrument, played so loudly that Zhou Nan couldn't hear it.

Jiajing looked back at Zhou Nan in surprise.

The music stopped.

Jiajing smiled in the hall and said, "Yijun, you seem to have objections to Zhou Nan's poem?"

But I saw the future Wanli Emperor striding out of the palace. He had just finished his afternoon nap, and he looked refreshed, and said loudly: "Grandfather, I respect Taoism in the Ming Dynasty, and the Taoism in the world belongs to Zhengyi and Quanzhen. Grandson Just now I was taking a nap in the hall, listening to Master Zhou chanting, "The first ancestor of Chuji, admired by all people, preaching the way and promoting virtue, never forgetting the training, the bells and drums have been sounded, and the forest is open." When Taizu Emperor Gao established the system, Zhengyi was ranked ahead of Quanzhen. Zhou Nan's poem is disrespectful to Emperor Gao."

In this poem, Chuji is Qiu Chuji, the real patriarch of Quanzhen.

Zhou Nan took a breath when he heard the words, this...is this purely going online?What is the crime of disrespect? It will cost you your head.When did the Ming Dynasty have a literary inquisition? This brat doesn't want to learn anything else, but only learns such inexplicable things?

Do we have any enmity, or borrow your millet in exchange for your chaff, as for shouting and killing all over the place?
The Quanzhen Taoist priest present was also stunned, with a happy expression on his face, seeing that Mr. Zhou was a little more grateful.As for the Taoist priests who are upright masters, they are dissatisfied.

Without making a fuss, Wanli made an enemy for Mr. Zhou.

As for Jiajing, he frowned.That's right, the Ming Dynasty respected Dao, and Zhengyi and Quanzhen had equal status.But Quanzhen practice mainly takes the inner alchemy route, he is eager to cultivate longevity and wants to take a shortcut, and prefers Zhengyi.

I feel a little unhappy in my heart.

Zhou Nan also knew the power of this, and hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty, son, I didn't think too much about it when I wrote this Qingci, I just wanted to make the rhyme fit, so I included the name of Master Qiu. After all, Changchun The fame of the Daoist is too great. Is it possible that I have to say all the names of the ancestors of Taoism. From the Yellow Emperor to Ge Hong, Peng Zu, and then to Sanfeng Zhenren, the ancestors of Guanglong and Hushan have to talk for a long time. There is no way to continue the fast.”

After finishing speaking, he read: "The first ancestor of Chuji, the first teacher of Daoling, the great sage of Hongjing, the god of the Yuan Festival, admired by all people, promote the way and promote virtue, and never forget the training. The bell and drum have sounded, and the forest has opened."

Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, but they didn't dare, it was hard to hold back.

"So bold!" Hearing the teasing intention in Zhou Nan's words, Shizi's face was full of anger.

Zhou Nan continued to read: "Momly Kou Jun, Tianshi Daochang, the ancestors came in person, the emperor descended, recorded the scriptures, and formulated the music." The old group in this poem is Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Dao, and He is honored as the ancestor of heaven.

It's a patch.

Jiajing was very satisfied with Zhou Nan's youthful words.Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou has such quick wit and talent, it is really rare: "Well done."

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Zhou Nan, your words and deeds are inappropriate, and the Ministry of Rites reprimands and admonishes you." He raised it high and lowered it gently.

However, Master Zhou was extremely annoyed.

That's right, on the surface, it seemed that he was verbally criticized by the emperor. He was neither demoted nor fined, nor was he spanked by the imperial staff.

But as soon as the Ministry of Rites issued a document, his personal resume was considered to be stained.All the "excellent" evaluations he had worked so hard for in the past were all in vain.

In contrast, Zhou Nan would rather be spanked by the emperor and deceived by the imperial staff, so that he can be regarded as famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Of course, what a shrewd person Jiajing was, how could it be possible for Zhou Nan to gain fame because of such a trivial matter.

Brush reputation?
Yes, since I can't brush it from the emperor, I will brush it from Wanli.Brushing with the emperor and brushing with the future emperor are not the same thing.If you want to be on the outline and on the line, the labor and capital will use the other way and return it to the other body.Haha, this is a blessing in disguise, if you don't know it's a blessing, Zhou Nan suddenly has an idea.

Then he said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, I used to be a pedestrian in charge of pedestrians. If it hadn't been because I was transferred to the Daolu Department to serve as a driver, I would have been the official of the court in the future. Although the minister is not in his position now and does not seek his own government, but the picket discipline, It is the responsibility of scholars all over the world to correct people's morale, and today I want to impeach the ministers of the court."

Jiajing: "Who do you want to impeach?"

Zhou Nan: "I want to impeach the Imperial Academy, Prince Zuo Chunfang Zhang Juzheng."

Jiajing wondered, "What are you impeaching him for?"

Zhou Nan: "Prince Zuo Chun visited Zhang Juzheng, who was responsible for teaching the prince to study and be a man. Just now, the prince said that the Ming Dynasty only respected Taoism, and the world's orthodoxy belonged to Zhengyi and Quanzhen. He also said that the minister's Qing Ci seemed to respect Quanzhen. , the meaning of repelling Zhengyi. When Emperor Taizu Gao established the system, Zhengyi was ranked before Quanzhen. It is disrespectful to Emperor Gao to say the word Chen. Dare to ask the son, Emperor Gao of Taizu Has it ever been said that Zhengyipai was before Quanzhen, whether there was an imperial edict, or was it recorded in "Liuju Zhu"? From a small point of view, is the prince provoking a discord between Zheng and Quanzhen for no reason? Speaking of Dali, that is false Preaching the holy words? The prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, dare to ask the prince what crime he should be guilty of?"

Aren't you going online, I will also put a big hat on you, and I ask you if you can afford it?
Hearing this, Zhengyi, who had been dissatisfied with Zhou Nan before, nodded slightly.Xindao: Yes, what Zhou Sizheng said is correct.The status of the two factions is the same, and no one is inferior to the other.The princes forcibly divide each other. This is not to cause us to have trouble with Quanzhen for no reason. It is not an act of a king.

"I..." After all, Zhu Yijun is a child of four or five years old, how can he argue against an adult like Zhou Nan.I was anxious: "My lord, I am not, I am not..."

Zhou Nan interrupted him, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, the son is young, and the child's words are not taboo. But the person who taught him to read is to blame. It is hard to guarantee that such words did not come from Zhang Juzheng. I impeach Zhang Juzheng for misinterpreting Taizu. Emperor Gao’s sage metaphor. Such a person is not suitable to be a teacher in the royal residence, please remove Zhang Juzheng from the position of Prince Zuo Chunfang, and return to the Imperial Academy to study hard.”

Having said that, he was just and awe-inspiring, and even looked at Zhu Yijun provocatively.I cried in my heart: tell the guards to take me down, it's best to hit me with a stick.After these few sticks, my reputation as an unyielding strongman will be confirmed.

Hearing Zhou Nan's impeachment of Zhang Juzheng, Yuan Wei, who was still standing aside and had nothing to do with himself, came over in surprise, feeling amused in his heart.

You Mr. Zhou, a small sixth-grade miscellaneous person, actually impeached the bachelor of the Imperial Academy and asked him to study hard.Who is Zhang Baigui, a world-renowned scholar and celebrity, who is now a prime minister.If nothing else, there should be a place for him in the cabinet.Is it a bit too much for you to impeach someone for such a big crime?
Zhang Taiyue didn't enter Xiyuan today, yet he was impeached, isn't it too inexplicable?

Lao Yuan is old and lacks energy. Seeing Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng and other juniors forging ahead in the court, he knows that his time has passed, and he has intended to resign as a cabinet minister and return to his hometown to retire after a few years. .Don't block the way for future generations to advance, and be kicked out of the cabinet in despair, then you will lose face.

Recently, Xu Jie and the Wangfu were on the verge of falling out in the fight for the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, so he was naturally too lazy to take care of it.

Just asking, doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention.

I thought in my heart: Zhou Nan is Xu Jie's student this time, and this time I went to the Daolu Department to be the right officer, but I just wanted to have a chance to face the saint, and also to contact internal and external contacts.Zhang Juzheng served as the reader of the Emperor's Jingyan on weekdays, and had many opportunities to get close to the Emperor.Zhou Nan suddenly attacked Zhang Taiyue today, did Xu Jie mean to cut off the eyes and ears of the Wangfu family?The son has an impulsive personality, and he will definitely have an attack later.If Zhou Nan really wanted to be punished, the palace would be passive.

Disposing of the speech officials by the emperor's order would offend the entire civil official group.

……

Sure enough, the anger on Shizi's face became more intense, and he was obviously on the verge of erupting.

Seeing this, Zhou Nan was ecstatic, and continued to secretly cheer for Zhu Yijun: "Little friend Zhu, hit me quickly, hit me fast!"

But at this moment, Zhu Yijun suddenly opened his small mouth and cried with a "wow": "Grandfather, don't chase Master Zhang away, don't chase Master Zhang away... woooo..."

The entire Yuxi Palace was silent.

Zhou Nan was extremely disappointed in his heart, his aggressive method and his plan to lure the snake out of the hole are not bad, and his fame is now.

But he missed one point, Shizi is just a four-year-old child.
