Emperor Jiajing flipped through several pages of the manuscript before he remembered that this was not the occasion for careful reading. The emperor was a little embarrassed to stand reading the manuscript.
So he sat back on the throne, put down the manuscript, and let the ministers stand down.
Qin Dewei took the opportunity to report on his work: "In April, thanks to His Majesty's trust, I was ordered to revise the Precious Instructions. By September, I had completed the fifteen volumes of "The Precious Instructions of Emperor Taizu Gao".
Recently, I, together with Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu of the same year, worked hard day and night to compile and compile "Precious Instructions to the Emperor" before the end of the year. It coincides with today's sutra banquet and I boldly submit it to the imperial review!"
Hearing Qin Dewei say that he had completed the "Presentation to the Emperor", the ministers' hearts skipped a beat. The three words "Presentation to the Emperor" were so affectionate and were the softest place in Emperor Jiajing's heart!
No wonder the emperor lost his composure when he saw the manuscript. This was like a shot at the emperor's pain point!
"Emperor Xian" should refer to Emperor Jiajing's biological father. In order to recognize this biological father and refuse to recognize Emperor Xiaozong as his father, Emperor Jiajing had to launch a grand ceremonial meeting even if the court was in turmoil!
At this time, the official posthumous title of Emperor Jiajing and his biological father was "Emperor Xingxian", while Qin Dewei was called "Emperor Xian" this time.
This kind of title is not formal, but it is not completely wrong. It is a bit of an edge ball.
The omission of the word "Xing" was a mistake that violated etiquette strictly speaking, but it definitely scratched the itch of Emperor Jiajing!
"Emperor Xian" sounds much more noble, and it is a title that can be used together with Emperor Gao, Emperor Wen, Emperor Zhao and other ancestors.
So just these three words can make Emperor Jiajing happy.
Another point is that there are eight recognized ancestors of the Ming Dynasty today, from Taizu to Wuzong, excluding Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Jingtai.
Therefore, the normal "Emperor's Precepts" should be the Precepts of these eight emperors.:.
As for Emperor Jiajing, his biological father was only granted the title posthumously. He had never been a real emperor when he was still alive, so he should not be treated the same as the eight real emperors.
However, Qin Dewei was ingenious and inserted Emperor Jiajing's biological father into "The Emperor's Precepts" and created "The Emperor's Precepts". The effect was quite explosive.
The ministers all knew that Emperor Jiajing would unconditionally accept any act of respecting his father.
God is watching what you do. Qin Dewei is indeed dishonest. He doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't cause trouble.
But it's not enough to criticize Qin Dewei for violating etiquette.
Because the "Huang Ming Bao Xun" is not a national canon, nor is it an official history book "Records".
To put it bluntly, it is just a set of quotations. Otherwise, how could it be compiled by a rookie Hanlin like Qin Dewei?
Qin Dewei's propriety was that he stepped on the line but did not cross it. He seemed to be teasing him wildly on the edge of the cliff, which made many ministers feel angry.
Teacher Zhang, who had been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, stood at the forefront of the Hanlin Academy and looked at Qin Dewei in astonishment. He suddenly remembered what this unscrupulous disciple had said.
When Qin Dewei first took over the task of revising the "Emperor's Precepts", Teacher Zhang was worried that Qin Dewei was young and inexperienced and would mess up the task.
But Qin Dewei said carelessly that even if he didn't know how to compile books, he understood the emperor and would definitely satisfy the emperor!
At that time, Teacher Zhang thought this was a habitual spiel by an unscrupulous disciple, but he didn’t expect that it was all the truth!
As long as there are five words "Precepts to the Emperor", even if the whole book is compiled into rubbish, Emperor Jiajing probably won't blame it.
The ministers were all silent, and no one spoke for a while, so Qin Dewei could continue:
"In order to enable the manuscript of "Precious Instructions to the Emperor" to be read by your Majesty today, the inscription congratulating the birth of the prince has not yet been written. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow two days of grace."
I, Qin Dewei, do what I say! If I say I won’t show up on the congratulation list today, I really won’t do it!
Everyone's scalp was numb because of Qin De's prestige. With your "Precepts to the Emperor", today's congratulatory forms are all waste paper!
Also, Master Cai, a master of literature that praises saints, is really pitiful.
谷/span> It was not easy to have such a great joy as the birth of a prince. It was an opportunity to show his face, but Qin Dewei stole the limelight through crooked ways.
This Qin Dewei has not participated in a few sutra feasts seriously, and he always gets into trouble every time!
Others are working hard to give lectures, while you, Qin Dewei, are building artillery outside;
Others offer auspicious gifts, but you Qin Dewei offer a couplet;
Others send congratulatory messages, but you, Qin Dewei, send you precious instructions.
Can you, Qin Dewei, be serious and respect your colleagues?
In fact, today's Sutra Feast is probably the last Sutra Feast this year. Generally, when the weather is extremely cold or hot, the Sutra Feast will be suspended for two or three months.
Unexpectedly, it ended up being Qin Dewei's show. Everyone in the Wenhua Hall was already losing interest.
Emperor Jiajing hesitated again, struggled, hesitated, and weighed. After thinking for a moment, he issued an edict on the spot:
Due to his meritorious service in compiling the "Precious Instructions to the Emperor", Qin Dewei was promoted to Zuo Zanshan and also edited and edited, and was appointed as a bachelor.
This appointment was expected by everyone, and there is nothing to say. The emperor must make arrangements for something as showy as the "Precepts to the Emperor".
And this can also be seen as making up for the credit for the development of new artillery. What else can others say?
The Imperial Academy is divided into big and small. A bachelor's degree from the fifth rank is already considered a big Hanlin. After all, a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin is a full fifth rank.
At the age of nineteen, he was a member of the Hanlin Academy, both civil and military, and he was so unbelievable!
You are now qualified to serve as the chief examiner of the Liangzhili Township Examination or the examiner of the General Examination.
Zhang Chao, who had served as the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination and the General Examination in the past two years, was only a bachelor's degree lecturer at the same level at that time.
Thinking of this possibility, and thinking of Qin Dewei, who had only made it to the top two lists by searching hard on his own, Teacher Zhang suddenly shuddered.
If you make a mistake, you will regret it for eternity, and if you look back, it will be a hundred years later.
Zhang Chao's admission of Qin Dewei may be a crime against the future students of the Ming Dynasty!
After the banquet ended, Academician Zhang and Academician Qin walked out of the palace together. Academician Zhang started to speak but stopped talking several times.
Academician Qin couldn't help but said: "Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Academician Zhang sighed: "Did you get promoted too quickly? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qin Dewei pretended to be stupid and said: "Am I so fast? Look at Zhang Fujing, counting from the middle of the imperial examination, he entered the cabinet in six years and became the chief minister in eight years.
Let’s look at Xia Guizhou again. It only took him a year and a half to go from being a seventh-rank minister to the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites.”
Academician Zhang questioned again: "But you are too young, not even twenty yet. Is it possible that you won't be able to get promoted when you think of being thirty?"
Academician Qin then said: "Teacher, don't worry, I will take advantage of these two years of peace and no one to hinder me, so I can get a promotion as soon as possible.
After these two years, if the court is not peaceful, it will not be easy for him to be promoted."
What else did Academician Zhang want to say? Academician Qin added: "If you are still not at ease, teacher, wait until next year and I will find a way to taint myself."
Academician Zhang doesn't even want to ask how Qin Dewei wants to defile himself.
Qin Dewei's self-deprecation, just like Qin Dewei's low profile, are both words that have been ruined by credit! We provide you with the fastest update of Ming Dynasty Primary School Students, Chapter 533, Civil and Military Completeness, Hanlin, for free reading.:.
