Chapter five hundred and seventy third the opening of the feast
Although Lu Sanlang desperately wanted to know what his cousin's name was, and whether it would be as unpleasant to hear as the name Lu Zhu given by his father Lu Wan, but since Zhang Shou was trying to sell it, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he could more or less trust Zhang Shou than letting any unreliable father in his family take it.
The day before his crowning ceremony, the first Buddhist feast in the Wenhua Hall began on the first day of October. Because it was the day of the Great Court Meeting, after the Great Court Meeting ended, a group of civil and military officials designated by the emperor in advance came to
They have already gathered at the Wenhua Hall. In addition, the princes, princesses, clans and noble officials and officials filled the Wenhua Hall to the brim.
Although Taizu's ancestral teachings have been forgotten many times, on today's occasion, they still played a corresponding role to a certain extent, because a gauze curtain separated men and women, princesses and eldest daughters, and those who had always been in contact with each other.
There are many Qingning Palaces, so the nobles and officials' daughters who are very popular with the Queen Mother are also able to live here.
For example, Zhu Ying is sitting on her left hand with Liu Qing, who has always had a good relationship with her, and on her right is Princess Deyang. Behind her are the other two princesses. Naturally, the initial seating arrangement cannot be so indifferent and let her
A noble daughter and the princess's daughter-in-law were mixed together, but no one could do anything about the eldest lady's maverick behavior. Who made the queen mother not stop her?
In addition, when Princess Yongping saw that the Queen Mother was silent, she who was originally next to Princess Deyang simply gave up her seat to Liu Qing, so that the two of them could sit together, while she herself moved to sit with the two county heads.
side.
In this regard, although others were envious and jealous, no one dared to say anything. They could only watch Zhu Ying and even Liu Qing pull her over and sit among the princesses and eldest daughters, talking quietly and laughing.
As for taking a peek outside the gauze curtain to see if there is any talented person with both talent and appearance, it might also lead to a good marriage...
That is not a thin and transparent gauze like the plain Bozhou Qingrong, but the kind that is heavy and used to make gauze robes. Through such a thick layer of gauze, you can only vaguely see whether the other person is fat or thin.
, As for the appearance and facial features, ghosts can only be seen if you can see them clearly.
There used to be a woman who chose her husband through the window screen, and ended up choosing a guy with an extremely upright and upright figure, but a hideously ugly appearance. So much so that when it comes to marriage, most officials no longer have this aspect.
Looking at Xiao Lang through the screen window, the unmarried woman brought her maid, and the man brought his entourage. The two groups met each other openly to avoid becoming a bitter couple.
In addition, most of the unmarried daughters who are here today are either engaged or have no choice in marriage. Even if they see the best young talents, they can only feel sad. Of course, the bigger reason is that most of them are like them.
He is also a person with a strong reputation, so the girls are only occasionally distracted to listen to what is going on outside, and are not really interested in watching people.
Just as girls need to show good manners and manners in front of the Queen Mother, and even Zhu Ying can only whisper with others at most, most of the officials and officials outside are quite reserved. After all, the person here today is a fourth-grade person.
None of the above-mentioned court bosses who have entered the ranks of high-ranking officials want to be thought of as unstable.
The person who has a completely indifferent attitude is not Zhu Tingfang, who has just taken over the Nancheng Army and Horses Division and has never cared much about his fame and future. The eldest son Zhu sits like a bell, and his sitting posture attracts many officials to nod and praise, although many people see
That cold face was helpless - it was the group of disciples headed by Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang who were currently planning how to cheer Zhang Shou.
They usually hate this kind of lecture situation, but today it is their own teacher who is giving the lecture, so of course everyone pays attention to them.
In the past, Zhang Chen was the leader among the dandy children. Now, although Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are already confirmed to be the quasi-consort and quasi-grace, they have not established their own family. Zhang Chen is still the one who follows the lead, but Lu Sanlang has become another person.
A mountain top.
He used his abundant financial resources to successfully win over a group of people who did not care about their fathers or mothers. They were called dandies, but in fact they were poor. At this moment, he said as if no one else was there: "Teacher, please listen to my instructions. You should give me a round of applause."
When it’s time, be neat and tidy; when it’s time to be quiet, don’t make a sound. As for those picky guys, hehe, don’t let them go!”
Although the little fat man's shouting was not very loud, he did not hide it. It immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Even Zhang Chen couldn't help but glare at people, and then whispered a warning: "Hey, you
Don't cause trouble for the teacher!"
"Am I causing trouble?" Lu Sanlang looked at Zhang Chen with a fierce look in his eyes, "If someone else provokes me first, who can blame me? When I don't know who said that you can't do things well if you don't have hair on your lips, I'll grab you."
I haven’t gotten married yet, I haven’t even been crowned yet, and I’m mumbling nonsense! Humph, what practical things have you done by a barking dog who is so old but only knows how to troll people?”
"At least I, Lu Sanlang, led a group of classmates conscientiously, dug out a group of greedy rats, and unlocked the secret box of Taizu that the predecessors were unable to do anything about! Even the secret text of the military's return today has me, Jiuzhangtang
The first mayor made a contribution!"
Even Lu Wan, at this moment, couldn't help but be so angry at the youngest son's words that he almost made enemies on all sides and launched a full-scale attack. Tomorrow is Lu Sanlang's coronation ceremony. After being made such a fuss by this damn little fat man, will he look back?
Will some relatives and friends not even dare to come? Will my home be surrounded by some people’s disciples?
There must be a limit to offending people, and judging from the adjectives used in Lu Sanlang's words, the person he was quarreling with was clearly a prominent figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is true that like a teacher, there must be a disciple. Like Zhang Shou, he is not afraid of a newborn calf.
Tiger!
The more Lu Wan thought about it, the more headache he felt. However, because he was appointed by the emperor and joined the ranks of senior officials in the ministry, he was really far away from his fat son. At this time, he was beyond his reach, and he couldn't shout loudly in the Wenhua Palace. He could only stand in front of him.
That makes you sulky.
What he didn't expect was that Ge Yong, who was sitting at the forefront of the civil and military officials, either because his ears were so good that he heard Lu Sanlang's clamor, or because he had already discussed this with his disciples, he actually laughed out loud.
.
"Young people are so good, full of vitality and high spirits. They are much better than those old guys who are old but still cling to them, and even look down on the good deeds of young people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the cabinet looked calm. Not to mention the scholar of Confucius University, even Mr. Wu Ge, who was actually the oldest, was actually just over fifty. Even among the six ministers and ministers, he was particularly old.
There were not many. However, the censors and ministers of the Duchayuan and Liukelang had the same mediocre response, because Taizu had instructed that the junior officials should not be over forty-five years old.
The biggest reaction came from a certain elderly deputy censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But he was furious and wanted to beat Ge Yong, trying to create a character who was not afraid of power in this old master.
Fame, but who would have thought that Ge Yong would suddenly yawn.
Just listen to the old master saying lazily: "You can't take on important responsibilities without getting married. I don't know what kind of fallacy this is... Haven't you ever heard Huo Qubing's famous saying that the Huns are not destroyed, how can they care about the family?
?”
"It's actually a pity that Huo Qubing has made outstanding achievements but didn't marry a wife. In contrast, there are still some people who are very old but don't cultivate. The grandchildren of people who are sixty-five or sixteen are already fifteen or sixteen.
He actually took in a fifteen-year-old concubine, wow, this is really a good story."
Although the Jingyan Banquet was supposed to be a very solemn occasion, the emperor had shown that he did not pay much attention to this matter. Over the years, the Wenhua Palace before the Jingyan Banquet was never quiet. Because of the corrections at the court meeting
After the Honglu Temple officials who were responsible for etiquette (including the emperor) were forcefully invited out of the Wenhua Hall by the emperor, the confrontation between the various parties before the banquet became a repertoire.
Master Ge's sudden cannon fire immediately silenced the slightly noisy Wenhua Hall. Although most people were a little confused and didn't know who Ge Yong was talking about, with Lu Sanlang's hehe
Laughing, and Zhang Chen's voice as if he suddenly realized that was the case, the insiders were afraid that the world would not be in chaos and the news they knew would spread to the outside world.
Passed down to ten, passed down to hundreds, a certain vice-president of the capital, a pear tree blooming on a begonia tree, suddenly became a well-known secret. Although this small interest in private life is mostly just chatting behind other people's backs, many people
I remember that among those who previously opposed Zhang Shou's appointment as a lecturer in the East Palace, the deputy capital censor was indeed the most vehement in attitude.
Therefore, Zhu Ying, who was chatting and laughing with Princess Deyang just now, couldn't help but sneered: "Only old people are allowed to take concubines, and young people are not allowed to be single. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
What kind of person Zhu Ying is, how clear and loud this voice is, and the hall is quite quiet at this moment, it is the same as what Ge Yong just said, people from all directions heard it in an instant.
Lu Sanlang hurriedly followed behind, shaking his head and saying: "I have only heard before that only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. What the lady said is really different but has the same purpose."
Just when the deputy capital censor was so angry that he was about to fight back immediately, he heard a quiet whip sound coming from outside, followed closely by the word "su". Although the ritual of the feast was complicated,
They were all moved to the previous court meeting with a wave of the emperor's hand, but of course the etiquette that should be observed at this time cannot be omitted.
Therefore, not only did the deputy censor of the capital hurriedly shut up, but the people who had just been sitting down also hurriedly stood up and stood up to greet them. Soon, a group of people came in from the outside, and the emperor walked in the front as if he was strolling in the courtyard, as if this was the moment.
on the street.
Behind him, all four princes were seen. Even the eldest prince and the second prince, who had not appeared in public in the past few months, were all following the emperor. However, with the third prince and
Compared with the bright robes of the fourth prince, neither of them wore princely robes, especially the eldest prince, whose brown clothes were extremely conspicuous among the nobles of the court.
Before the people with no information could think about what this scene meant, the emperor walked to the throne in the middle and sat down and nodded slightly. Then, the eldest prince and the second prince each had two more Kong Wuli next to them.
's chamberlain.
Immediately, the two haggard princes, who were no longer as domineering as before, were called escorts and were actually escorted to their respective seats and sat down. Their seats were clearly located at the head of a group of ministers.
, not only is he far away from the officials and disciples, but he is also far away from the famous scholars and scholars.
I recall that during the banquet in the past, the two princes attended the banquet at once. Although they did not have a seat at that time, they stood beside the emperor, which naturally highlighted their status as elders and legitimate princes. Now it is no longer the case.
Compared to the past, I don’t know how many people looked at this scene and sighed in their hearts.
At this moment, the only one left by the emperor to serve him was the third prince.
As for the fourth prince, he sneaked to the Queen Mother’s side of the female family members separated by the gauze curtain under the eyes of everyone. Although they were not seated at the age of seven, the fourth prince went to the Queen Mother to peel oranges and serve him with a smile on his face, and did not mix with the women.
Among children, who can say anything wrong with him? And the Queen Mother knew very well how big-hearted this little guy was, so of course she would not drive him away.
It was obvious that the fourth prince neither wanted to share the attention of the third prince, the future prince, with the emperor, nor did he want to hang out with the eldest prince and the second prince, nor did he want to stay alone in his original seat for the whole feast.
time.
She was about to ask Zhu Ying to come over and take the fourth prince away, but suddenly she heard the emperor cough: "Today is the first day of the Sutra Banquet. The Sutra Banquet is not unique to our dynasty, but from the beginning to now, most people over the years have
It's an old tune repeated. Although it can be said to be a review of the past to learn something new, there is nothing new at all. Today's sutra feast, let me first invite my teacher, Taishi Ge, to give a lecture on arithmetic sutras."
The civil and military officials below were waiting for the emperor to call Zhang Shou directly, so that they could find fault before and after. However, they did not expect that when the emperor opened his mouth, he directly picked Ge Yong, who was the emperor's master and had already been a first-grade grand master.
!
Even the deputy capital censor, who had been ridiculed by Ge Yong in public before and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, could not say anything about this arrangement no matter how livid he was. After all, no matter how close he was to the emperor,
In terms of distance, or in terms of his respected status in the court and scholars, it is normal to say that Ge Yong was the number one figure in the dynasty after the emperor.
However, it would be fine if Ge Yong talked about the classics and history, but he actually talked about the classics? Looking at this huge Wenhua Hall, how many people can understand it?
At this moment, apart from the third prince, the only person who was really energetic at this moment was probably the chubby Lu Sanlang. The little fat man sat up straight almost instantly, expecting to cheer for his ancestor, but he didn't expect
He was directly named by the emperor.
"Lu Jia Sanlang, you wait for Grand Master Ge to sit there and talk, serve tea and water, etc. I leave it to you!"
Although the emperor only ordered him to do odd jobs, Lu Sanlang was still extremely happy. He stood up without thinking, ran to Ge Yong's side, and helped the patriarch up with a smile on his face.
Seeing how he carefully helped Ge Yong to sit behind the podium with Xiao Yi's attentiveness, Lu Wan didn't like it. He, as an old man, has never enjoyed such service from his son!
However, Ge Yong had long been accustomed to the attentiveness and courtesy of the little fat man. At this time, he took the Luo Han Guo tea that the little fat man had personally delivered and said slowly: "Since the emperor asked me to teach the Sutra today, I will tell you about it."
Let’s talk about the knowledge in the latest volumes of "New Edition of Mathematics"..." Although he was embarrassed to directly mention the word "Ge", he didn't mind confusing these people!
Chapter completed!
