Volume 701 of the First Prince of the Ming Dynasty. If others inquire about the sacred relics rashly, not only will he not be able to tell him about it, but he will also have to impeach the Holy One himself. But when the Crown Prince asks about the Holy Queen, that is the foundation of human relations and filial piety. As a minister,
It's natural to tell everything you know.
Just as Zhu Biao predicted, there was no fixed route for his father's trip. Some local officials wanted to pat the dragon's butt but couldn't. Those who were corrupt and perverted the law were the ones walking on thin ice with fear.
They are not stupid people. When the news of the Holy Spirit's northern tour came out, they all hurriedly restrained their subordinates to wipe out the black accounts and appease the people, hoping to survive this disaster carefully.
But Lao Zhu had been prepared for it. How could he not be able to see clearly this little thing after so many years of fighting corruption? The evidence of some officials’ crimes had been found long ago and had not been released until now, in front of those corrupt officials who were ruling the people.
punish them severely.
After all, during this northern tour, neither offering sacrifices nor combating corruption was the main purpose. Winning the hearts of the northern people was the top priority, and the people's trust in the Ming Dynasty must be strengthened.
The censor quickly finished his story. After all, he was only a foreign minister who could know about official matters. He could not understand the private situation of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. In addition, most of the trip was just on the road.
When Liu Jin came to report, Zhu Biao led the imperial envoy to Huagai Hall. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the imperial censor carefully arranged his sleeves. Zhu Biao did not rush him and just waited beside him.
Imperial envoys convey orders from heaven, and they are honorable and dignified. Anyone who sees them must bow their heads, but the risks are also not small. You must not make mistakes in every move, word or deed, and you must not go beyond the etiquette. You can only make mistakes when doing things.
Just death.
However, even the imperial envoy was only more powerful than the prince and crown prince when he announced the decree, so it was Zhu Biao who stepped into the Huagai Hall in front of the imperial envoy and the censor.
There were two teams inside, one team was officials headed by Hu Weiyong and Song Lian, and the other team was a group of princes, big and small, headed by Jin Wang Zhu Ping, including the eleventh son of the emperor who was still in his infancy and who had just turned one year old and those who were under one year old.
The twelfth son of the emperor.
It is the custom of Lao Zhu's family to not rush to name a child of this size. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu's two most precious grandchildren were not even named. These two unlucky little bastards were ranked outside the tenth place.
, I still don’t know when I will be remembered.
After the imperial envoy stood still, everyone respectfully greeted the Holy Spirit. After some responses, the imperial envoy began to pronounce the emperor's oral instructions: "I am telling the prince, prince, and kings that you should know the treachery and good deeds when employing people. It is difficult to recognize the treachery and good deeds in people. You can only test them by giving them a job."
, If you know the good but can't use it to know the evil and can't get rid of it, you will have misled the country from now on. Many times in the past have tolerated the traitor and insulted the traitor. When the unknown is in the beginning, all the knowledge should be used.
How can it be difficult for him to retreat from his traitors? If he appoints a virtuous person, do not hesitate to cast out the evil ones, and do not doubt him. Wait for him to be cautious!"
Zhu Biao led all his younger brothers and responded in unison: "My sons and ministers will obey my father's teachings."
"I sent a message to the scholars of Song Lian: The prince is the most valuable weapon in the world. People who have the Yi tripod still know how to love the treasure. How can the prince inherit the importance of the main vessel without the treasure and love? Those who love the treasure must choose upright people to serve as their support.
, Living day and night, he will be familiar with good words, not far away, and will naturally gradually become virtuous. If you only entrust him to the convenience and follow the practice, you will entrust a heavy weapon to the painting without knowing the treasure and love. You will assist the prince today.
When expounding and reciting the teachings, we must guide them in a correct way so that they can be enlightened, virtuous, talented, and able to serve the people. In the future, they will be able to conquer the world and live up to my expectations!"
Song Lian led the edicts of the East Palace to kowtow and said: "We must live up to the trust of the Holy One and help the prince to inherit the throne!"
In the edict, the six important ministers said: Store medicines to prevent diseases, store goods to prevent poverty, use talents to support virtues, horses can go far even if they are driven by slaves, and wood can be used even if it is simple and roped. I regard the current official as an official.
There are few scholars who only engage in grammar, so there are many criminals. If there are wise officials to set an example for them, and they gather together to teach them and teach the ancients to become officials, how can they not follow the way of keeping their bodies and protecting their families with their husbands?
As a good thing, from now on, when the officials of the six provinces and Taiwan provinces have free time, they will gather their subordinates to teach classics and history or talk about current affairs to change their temperament. At the end of the year, they will be tested to see whether they lead the teachings, and then you can know whether they are virtuous or not.
.”
"You who live in the high places of the temple should teach you day and night to achieve your virtues. You may be careful about big things, but you often neglect the details. If you are not careful in your actions, you will lose your great virtues. If you tolerate small mistakes, you will make big mistakes. Therefore, it is blocked.
Water must come from its source. The source will be blocked and the flow will stop. Those who cut down the wood will cut it at its roots. The roots will be cut off and the trees will be uprooted. I have heard that all the wise kings in the past dynasties were famous and their ministers were also wise, so they can help others.
When you are in charge of tutoring, you should do your best, and please do not forget my instructions!"
Hu Weiyong led the six ministers and other ministers to respond: "Sage Fu Wei moves the heaven and earth to unite the universe and treads on the yin and yang. I will obey your will."
Just when everyone thought it was over and were about to stand up, there was another edict, and everyone knelt down indifferently and politely. The Holy Emperor had been away from the capital for so long, and no order had been sent. It turned out that they were all gathered together.
Seeing such a battle for the first time, several young princes burst into tears and howled uncontrollably. The eunuch holding them couldn't hold them back for a while, causing a lot of noise in the palace.
The emperor ordered the prince to say: "When a ruler governs the world, he must be aware of human relations and physical affairs, and then he will not be confused when dealing with matters. From the time I started in the fields to today, I have been managing the military and civil affairs with all my heart. You should be friendly to the virtuous and be kind to you."
You are wise and wise. Those who go against one's own will seek good, and those who obey one's will will be judged for their wrongs. In this way, right and wrong will not be confused. If you want to judge the affairs of the world, they can be solved and rectified. You respect me and don't forget my instructions!
Zhu Biao responded loudly: "My sons and ministers will obey my father's teachings."
No one had any intention of getting up, and the imperial envoy said: "The Holy Spirit's oral instructions have been conveyed, and there are still questions for the continuation of the poem test, so you can get up and answer them."
At this time, everyone stood up and stood in silence. Zhu Biao turned his head and ordered: "Take the eighth brother and the other younger princes down to comfort him. If you cry any more, your throat will break."
The eunuchs hurriedly agreed, carefully holding a few struggling and crying children and retreating. The palace suddenly became much quieter, and everyone was able to think about the meaning of the decree just now.
"A few days ago, the Holy Spirit gave a banquet and invited scribes to recite poems and compose poems. During the banquet, they talked about Song Taizu's poem about the moon, which goes like this: "Only before I leave the sea of the sea and thousands of mountains of ink can I reach the middle of the sky and the world will be bright." No one can continue..."
Everyone present was well-read in poetry and books, and the allusions here were naturally clear. At the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, compared with the other countries that were divided at the same time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was more powerful. Due to the establishment of imperial examinations and the construction of schools, the culture was particularly prosperous.
The kings and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were all good at poetry, especially the later master Li Yu. They were often proud of this and looked down on the Northern Song Dynasty who was established as a military general.
In the eighth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin led his army to besiege Jinling in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu sent his envoy Xu Xuan to persuade him.
The envoy recited his poem "Autumn Moon", and it was recited all over the world, and his words were like this.
Zhao Kuangyin comes from a family of officials. His great ancestor Zhao Tiao served as the magistrate of Youdu County in the Tang Dynasty. His great ancestor Zhao Jue served as Yushi Zhongcheng in the Tang Dynasty. His grandfather Zhao Jing served as the governor of Ying, Ji and Zhuo prefectures. His father Zhao Hongyin served as the commander of the Protectorate of the Holy Capital. He is a male from Tianshui County.
Zhao Kuangyin, who came from such a family, was naturally good at both civil and military affairs. He laughed at Xu Xuan and said, "What a poor scholar is saying, I don't know how to do it!"
Xu Xuan was naturally dissatisfied and said: "How can we be poor if we make big words without any truth?"
At that time, Zhao Kuangyin, who was sweeping the world, wrote a poem loudly and said: "It is not until thousands of mountains are dark at the bottom of the sea that all the kingdoms in the sky are bright."
Just one sentence made people feel that the momentum was extraordinary. Xu Xuan also turned pale. All the generals in the Song Dynasty were eager to slap the face of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was a pity that Song Taizu lacked the back-up force. The beginning was so grand, and the rest was basically unstoppable.
If I can’t, I can’t think of anything at the moment, which makes it more embarrassing.
But is it good to fight? It doesn't matter whether you can write poetry or not. If I can't shame you in the Southern Tang Dynasty, then I'll just cut off your head, and then the Southern Tang Dynasty will be destroyed...
This sentence has been criticized by no one for hundreds of years. It’s not that difficult. There were many great poets in the Song Dynasty. But whoever dared to expose Taizu’s shortcomings was not seeking death. In the Yuan Dynasty, no one was interested and no one was interested.
People dare to go beyond the rules and continue the imperial poem.
Until now, the censor continued to speak and said to the sage while drinking wine:
“It’s not until you leave the sea of thousands of mountains and ink that you reach the middle of the sky and all the nations will be bright.
The long night shines brightly and brightly, covering up countless stars.
Because of this, I have great aspirations and stand tall to help all living beings."
"There is one more thing left. Your Majesty, I would like to ask everyone in Beijing to continue this. If you are able to accomplish this wonderful story, I will definitely be rewarded heavily."
No one dared to continue, but it didn't stop them from stroking their beards and complimenting them. That is to say, Lao Zhu was not here, otherwise the scene would have been more lively. Zhu Biao felt a little embarrassed when he heard it.
In fact, he had just known about this. The Emperor's Poetry was originally prepared for him except for him, the prince and prince who stayed in Beijing, and who dared to continue it. Of course, he would not be given any time to prepare.
Everyone praised the Holy One for his civil and military skills, and stepped on Song Taizu a few times. However, their eyes were always paying attention to His Highness the Crown Prince. Song Lian and others silently continued in their hearts to prevent the Crown Prince from being at a loss and unable to think.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said: "Persevere in this ambition and achieve eternal ambition. Win the victory in a hundred battles and create peace."
"good!"
It’s majestic, majestic! We are so lucky to see this wonderful event!
"His Royal Highness, the Prince, took a few breaths to realize what a talent this is. It really makes all the ministers ashamed."
"Yes, yes, this story has come true!"
No matter how talented this poem is, whether it is neat and decent, if it was written by two founding ancestors and a future Emperor Taizong, it is bound to be passed down through the ages.
