Li Jie felt the burning eyes from behind, including many officials who had not been able to deal with him for a long time.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, it was true that the emperor personally sat in the Fengtian Hall and reviewed all the affairs of the common people, regardless of their importance, and handled them personally. All officials who participated in the early dynasty were fortunate enough to report them correctly. However, such things were too complicated and time-consuming.
For a long time, it was already past noon when the morning session ended, so this situation did not last long.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, a vote drafting system was formed. The ministers' memorials were handed over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and after being reviewed by the imperial eunuch, they were sent to the cabinet to draw up opinions on how to deal with them. The imperial pen or the eunuch of Si Li, the eunuch, drafted the votes according to the red pen of the cabinet and then issued them for implementation. In this way, the morning of the court
Then he lost the flesh and blood of being a political official, and just responded to a few official matters as usual, leaving only the surface of etiquette.
Therefore, most of the court officials were unable to speak to the emperor for a long time. This time the king's prelude was considered a great honor for Li Jie and the other three.
Li Jie entered the Fengtian Hall. All the civil and military officials in the hall were wearing crimson public uniforms. They were all officials of fourth rank or above and their relatives. It was stipulated to wear public uniforms on the day of the passing of the emperor. Public uniforms were worn by officials when conducting official duties.
Work clothes.
During the Chang Dynasty, the official uniforms were called regular uniforms, and their ranks were distinguished by patches on the chest. Qilin and Baize were the main uniforms for Duke, Marquis, Prince Consort, and Bo. Most civil servants were birds, with the first rank being cranes, the second, third, and fourth ranks respectively.
They are golden pheasants, peacocks, and wild geese. Most of the military officers are animals. The first and second ranks are lions, and the third and fourth ranks are tigers and leopards.
For public uniforms, patterns are added to the robes to distinguish them, and there is no distinction between civil and military services. The first grade is the large duke flower, five inches in diameter; the second grade is the small duke flower, three inches in diameter; the third grade is the scattered flower without branches and leaves, with a diameter of
Two inches; fourth grade with small broken patterns.
As soon as Li Jie entered the palace, he found that there were too many masters among the officials in the palace. There were dozens of people whose aura was as good as his, and those who surpassed him were as many as two palms. What the master told him before was the same as what he saw now.
What they found was quite different. The number of top masters far exceeded what the master had described. The empire's foundation was so unfathomable, it's no wonder that all the sects were keeping to themselves.
The most terrifying thing among them is the eunuch who is the ceremonial supervisor in front of the throne. If he hadn't been able to see him out of the corner of his eye, he wouldn't have known that there was someone there. If someone wanted to assassinate him in the palace, he would probably be beaten out of his head.
.
The strangest thing was that the emperor of the Ming Empire actually breathed like a normal person and seemed completely incompetent in martial arts. Li Jie didn't know why, but he didn't need to think too much and stood at the designated position according to the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple.
Zhu Youtang is only in his twenties now and is still quite young. He is wearing a beanie hat and a crimson dragon robe with a cross-collar collar and wide sleeves. He is sitting on the throne, looking back and forth at Li Jie and the others.
Li Jie only felt that the bodies of the other two people were shaking slightly, whether it was due to Tianwei or excitement. He didn't think there was anything wrong. The emperor also had two eyes and one mouth, but he was sanctified.
Li Jie noticed that Zhu Youtang's eyes were on him for the longest time. He thought it was his age that surprised him. Unfortunately, this wise king in history only reigned for eighteen years and passed away at the age of thirty-five.
, I wonder if history will still happen in this plane. After all, the martial arts plane will always have some black technology.
Zhu Youtang withdrew his gaze and asked: "I am only the son of the emperor, the son of my father, heaven and mother, the earth. All the people in the world are brothers. Therefore, he said: The great king is the eldest son of my parents. The eldest son inherits his parents and rules the world. His responsibility is very great.
They must be cultivated in a proper way and taught in a proper way, so what is the purpose? You are all people who have experienced a lot of history, and you must have a clear view."
Zhu Youtang's words were roughly about how to fulfill the responsibilities of an eldest son and govern the world. It was equivalent to giving Li Jie and the others another advice, but this time it was a real personal advice from the emperor. Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, Li Jie
Jie was used to such grand scenes, but he didn't know what Qian Fu and Liu Cunye were thinking now.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Huaien said: "The number one person will answer first, the number two person will answer next, and the number three person will answer again."
Qian Fu took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, God bless the people, make you a king, and make you a teacher, but you can restrain God and favor all directions... He takes the throne of heaven and earth, educates all things, and towers over heaven and earth..."
…”
Zhu Youtang nodded slightly. It was not easy to be able to answer the question in such a short period of time. Qian Fu not only answered it, but also answered it very well, living up to the title of number one scholar.
After Qian Fu finished answering, Liu Cunye also stepped forward to answer. Soon it would be Li Jie's turn.
Li Jie stepped forward and came to the imperial court and replied: "Your Majesty, Jin is right. I am fulfilling the responsibilities of the eldest son. One is to rectify the king's heart. Since ancient times, the order of chaos in the world depends on the king's evil and righteous heart. The sage said: If the king is righteous, nothing can be wrong. 1.
When the king is upright, the country will be settled. The Great University says: When the heart is upright, then the country will be settled.
Cultivate your body, and then your family will be in order, and your family will be in order, and the country will be governed, and the country will be governed, and then the world will be peaceful. However, if the ruler is of one mind and the people who attack are all overwhelmed, it will not be surprising and upright. When you look down on your majesty, be diligent and persevere.
With this mind, the way to govern is right."
When Xu Pu heard "those who attack are those who attack", he turned his attention to Liu Ji. Liu Ji noticed the smile on Xu Pu's lips and couldn't help but snorted in his heart. This Lin Pingzhi from Fujian County actually dared to mock him in front of the court.
, really ignorant.
Zhu Youtang raised the corner of his mouth when he heard Li Jie's answer, his appreciation was beyond words. He nodded from time to time and said, "Where is Lin Qing's family?"
Li Jie replied: "The second one is Wushengxue. The ancient sage kings' way of governing, the ups and downs of past dynasties, the methods of employing people to set up government, and the techniques of loving the people and benefiting things are all recorded in the classics and history. Everyone and the ruler must learn it.
If you know this, you can use the ancient methods to rule and learn from the ancients as warnings. If you like what you want, you will naturally not deviate from the righteousness.
Reason, and the reason why kings become kings. As the saying goes, using copper as a mirror can correct clothes and hats, using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs, using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses. You should choose Confucian ministers wisely to guard the scriptures.
At the feast, there is no fear of hard work, there is no time for cold or heat, both good and evil are taught, and everyone knows how to encourage and punish.”
Zhu Youtang said three times: "Okay! Good! Good! I am a good minister!"
Liu Ji's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment. He didn't expect Li Jie to be able to get such a holy favor. Zhu Youtang, who was the number one and number two before, only nodded slightly in approval after answering, but even an individual could tell it like this.
The emperor's appreciation for Li Jie is so deep in his heart that it may soar to the sky in the future.
After the three of them answered the emperor's policy questions, Zhu Youtang gave the reward as usual. When they arrived at Li Jie's place, he said, "Lin Aiqing, I heard that Aiqing is not married yet?"
Li Jie was stunned when he heard this. The emperor didn't play his cards according to the routine. How could there be a prelude to ask this question? But there was no way he could be the emperor. He replied: "Your Majesty, I am indeed not married yet, but I have already married a beautiful woman."
We have an appointment, and we will make an engagement with her after this imperial examination."
Zhu Youtang said: "Oh? If that's the case, then that's it."
The ministers in the Fengtian Palace were all surprised and uncertain. They didn't know what it was about this Tanhua Lang who impressed his Majesty, so that he could be treated so favorably by the Holy Emperor and actually had the idea of marrying him personally. It was a bit too much. Moreover, this Tanhua Lang
It was also a bit disrespectful, and he actually refused.
