Chapter 291 Mid-Autumn Talents Banquet
In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the sixth day of the eighth month, it is appropriate to start demolitions and to avoid weddings and funerals.
The sun has not yet risen, and the sky has just dawned, and the bells and drums are already ringing in the Forbidden City. Such sounds reminded the emperor and officials of the Ming Dynasty that the morning had begun and they should go to work.
After Emperor Tianqi put on his dragon robe, he looked back at Empress Zhang and said with a smile: "I didn't want to come to Baozhu yesterday, so I came a little late, and now I'm leaving so early, Baozhu didn't even sleep well. Wait.
I'm gone, Baozhu is having a good sleep."
"What did the emperor say? I am the emperor's queen, so naturally we are husband and wife. But the emperor will come over in the future, so send someone to pass the message in advance, and get up and get ready." While adjusting the collar of Emperor Tianqi, Empress Zhang
He said with a smile.
Looking at Empress Zhang with a smile, Emperor Tianqi pinched her petite nose from behind and asked jokingly: "What should I prepare for the treasure?"
"Don't tell your Majesty, this is the secret of my identity." Empress Zhang gave Emperor Tianqi a cute look and said with a slight blush on her face.
Listening to the bells and drums outside, Emperor Tianqi said helplessly: "No wonder the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty didn't like to go to the morning dynasty. It's too early. I think the morning dynasty should be changed to the afternoon, so it's called the afternoon dynasty."
"The emperor can't say that. When the morning dynasty and the sun rise, it is the rising sun, which symbolizes the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. The day's plan lies in the morning, and it makes sense to put the morning dynasty in the morning. If you really follow what the emperor said
, If you put the court meeting in the afternoon, what will happen?" Seeing Emperor Tianqi looking directly at her, Empress Zhang gently stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, that's what I said, the emperor has thousands of
Don’t take it seriously. In the evening, I will make the emperor’s favorite sweet-scented osmanthus porridge for the emperor. This can be regarded as my apology, okay?”
Seeing Queen Zhang looking at him expectantly, Emperor Tianqi stretched out his hand and tapped Queen Zhang on her forehead, and said with a smile: "That's what I said. You said so much. She does look like a queen."
Already."
"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the palace is preparing for the festival. This time, the rebellion in Shandong has been suppressed, new achievements have been established in Liaodong, and good news has been reported frequently by Mr. Sun Chengzong. The Queen Mother asked me to ask if this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be held.
Was it more lively?" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was not angry, Empress Zhang quickly changed the subject.
He nodded slowly. Emperor Tianqi also felt that it should, indeed should, boost the morale of the people. However, it might be a bit troublesome to do it. He lowered his head and thought about it. Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "You guys in the palace just watch and prepare."
Come on! Baozhu, please work harder. As for the outside, I’ll think about it again.”
"Yes, I understand." Empress Zhang took away Emperor Tianqi's things after washing, smiled, and said in a pleasant tone.
"I'm leaving, Baozhu, please lie down on the bed for a while!" Emperor Tianqi walked out and looked at Queen Zhang, saying with a caring tone.
Nodding slowly, Empress Zhang smiled calmly and said softly: "I'll go now, your Majesty, go to court!"
"The Emperor has arrived!" Accompanied by Wang Chengen's shout, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked into the Huangji Hall. Looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi had a smile on his lips. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
Ever since I came to this world, I have always wanted to be an emperor. Now, I have just become a little bit like an emperor.
Slowly walked behind the Long Book Desk and slowly sat down on the chair. Emperor Tianqi gently stroked the golden dragon head, feeling very excited in his heart. I am in charge of the entire world, and I am the world.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Amidst the worship of his ministers, Emperor Tianqi looked forward with bright eyes and held the golden dragon head firmly with both hands.
"My dear friends, please stand upright." He raised his hand gently, and Emperor Tianqi said in a calm voice.
However, the ministers below were stunned. Emperor Apocalypse's voice did not change, and his tone of voice was very gentle. However, everyone felt that Emperor Apocalypse seemed to have changed a bit, and his words were full of the majesty of a superior.
Anyone is allowed to question.
Many ministers understand in their hearts that this young emperor is growing at an inhuman speed. If Emperor Tianqi only inherited the throne from his ancestors, then he has just become an emperor. However, many ministers have higher expectations for Emperor Tianqi.
Hope, I hope that Emperor Tianqi will one day rule the world, surrender from all over the world, and become the true Mingjun of Zhongxing, the emperor of the ages.
When everyone stood up, Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly and said in a brisk tone: "My dear friends, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I wonder if you have anything good to tell me?"
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." As soon as Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, an old man on the side stood up, saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.
Emperor Tianqi looked at the speaker. He was an old man with some gray hair. He looked really old. However, no one in the court would think that he was clinging to his official position because he was in the court.
His status was so high that even Sun Chengzong would feel a little inferior when he saw him.
This person is Zhao Nanchen, the imperial wine minister of the Imperial Academy. The imperial imperial wine minister is only a third-rank concubine, and his status in the entire court is not high. But Zhao Nanchen is different. He has the title of minister of the Ministry of Rites, and has been granted the title of Shaobao.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Zhao Nancheng wrote more than fifty letters to resign, but all of them were rejected, which shows how important this old gentleman was. In the Imperial Academy for more than thirty years, Zhao Nanchen trained countless students, most of whom were awarded Jinshi.
In the Ming Dynasty, this old gentleman's disciples were in government and public affairs. Whether they were in foreign posts or in the capital, you could see his disciples everywhere. They could be found in everything from ministers and ministers to ministers, county magistrates and co-presidents.
Whether it was the Donglin Party, which was very prosperous at the time, or the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party, they all had his disciples.
It's just that this old gentleman is focused on academics and how to cultivate himself. He basically doesn't speak in the court. He has no interest in the same party and other things. This means that no one from these parties pays attention to him. After all, this is
There is really no need to provoke a person who has nothing to do with the world and has extraordinary strength.
Seeing that it was Zhao Nanchen, Emperor Tianqi was moved in his heart. What is going on with this old man? He smiled softly, and said in a gentle tone: "Zhao Aiqing, how is your health recently? If you have anything, I'll get there."
Go to the hospital to find someone, and I will give you this treatment." Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "From now on, when Zhao Aiqing goes to court to ride in a sedan, you can get off the sedan in front of the Huangji Palace, and you don't have to bow to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen bowed respectfully and nodded in response.
The ministers below didn't think anything of it, and no one could say anything about such treatment for Zhao Nanchen. After all, Zhao Nanchen was really older, and he was qualified in terms of qualifications and everything else, and others would not envy him.
Zhao Nanchen, who was standing below, was stunned. Why did he give the reward before he said anything? He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, does the emperor have any deep meaning in this? However, this old man is good at learning, but the person in the court
There were too many differences. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I simply gave it up. I bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said in a deep voice: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Seeing that Zhao Nanchen did not kneel down, everyone was stunned, and even felt dumbfounded. Emperor Tianqi only said that he was visiting the emperor to pay homage, but he still had to kneel down to accept the reward, right? This man took it for granted.
Emperor Tianqi didn't care. At such an old age, it's understandable that he occasionally has a short circuit in his head! Looking at Zhao Nanchen with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you want to participate in?"
"Your Majesty, next year will be the year of the Great Competition, and all the literati from all over the world will gather in the capital. Many people have come now. I hope that the Imperial Academy can come forward to hold a moon-viewing exchange during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This activity can encourage scholars and promote enlightenment. Secondly, it can also show that the emperor values scholars." Zhao Nanchen did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.
Emperor Apocalypse was slightly stunned. He did not expect that what Zhao Nanchen wanted to say was actually this matter. He pondered for a moment and then nodded slowly. This is a good thing and there is no reason not to agree to it. Looking at Zhao Nanchen with a smile, Emperor Apocalypse sighed.
He said in a loud voice: "This is a good thing. My dear, please go ahead and do it. The necessary expenses will be provided by the internal treasury. My dear, please feel free to do it."
"Your Majesty, this party needs a name. Please give it to your Majesty." Zhao Nanchen didn't know whether he had thought of it in advance or suddenly had inspiration, and he bowed and said to Emperor Tianqi.
The surrounding ministers were all stunned. This old gentleman was a little unusual today!
In fact, no one knew that Zhao Nanchen's health was deteriorating and he could no longer bear it. He wanted to resign and return home after completing this task. If he could leave a convention for the Imperial College, it would be something Zhao Nanchen left in the Imperial College.
Can leave a name in history.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "In that case, let's have a meal! Let these students chat and drink, and the expenses will come from my inner treasury. As for the name? Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's call it the Mid-Autumn Festival for Talented Scholars!"
"Your Majesty!" Naturally, no one will stand up to object to this kind of thing. After all, it is a good thing and there is no reason to object. Even if you say something even slightly, the entire Shilin will attack.
Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Ai'ai, has the order of Governor Qi Jin of Jiliao to bring people to Beijing be passed on?"
"Not yet Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing's heart sank slightly, thinking that Emperor Tianqi was a little anxious. But Emperor Tianqi's next words made him laugh out loud.
Chapter completed!
