On August 16, the fifth year of Wanli, according to the rules of "March, Six, and Nine", the emperor went to court early in the morning. However, compared with the noisy process of drafting the imperial edict before, this time the court just followed a process. .
Zhang Juzheng, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, went out to start the ceremony, saying that the imperial edict was drafted, and asked the emperor to issue a decree to complete the six sections and issue it to the world. Zhu Yijun suppressed his excitement and said "yes" - the court meeting ended.
The officials in the six departments were also excited by the announcement of the imperial edict. They put down everything they were doing and queued up outside the corridor of the six departments. When the secretary of the attendant room delivered the imperial edict, all the officials and officials were in a state of excitement. Jia Sanjin had sharp eyes and was the first to rush up and take it.
Seeing other colleagues coming together to get a sneak peek, Jia Sanjin said with a smile: "I have read through the draft and made many comments - how about Jia read the final draft?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Jia Sanjin unfolded the thick edict and read from the first page:
"The Emperor, who was entrusted to heaven, issued an edict: There are eternal rules that are unchangeable, and there is no unchangeable method of governance. The long-lasting changes are found in the great "Yi". The profit and loss can be known, written in the "Analects of Confucius". The three cardinal principles and five constants are as clear as the sun and the moon. It reflects the world. And the changeable order A and B can be like changing the strings of a harp and a harp. Since ancient times, there have been changes in each generation. That is to say, the ancestors of our dynasty have established systems according to the times, with many similarities and differences."
After reading this, Jia Sanjin looked like he was drinking cold water in the dog days of summer, and exclaimed: "What a majestic and magnificent article!"
...
At this time, Zhu Yijun, who had returned to the harem from the morning court, accompanied by a group of internal officials and guards, went to Xiyuan to relax his nerves that had been highly tense since March.
When they arrived at the pill-making field, they saw the queen and some concubines beating pills on the yellowed lawn. The whole place was filled with the sound of laughter and joy. Zhu Yijun admired the beauty in the autumn scenery for a while, and his mood became a little better. .
Seeing Zhu Yijun arriving, the queen brought her concubines to salute and invited Zhu Yijun to participate in Chuiwan. Zhu Yijun played golf several times before traveling through time. After traveling through time, he improved the game of Chuiwan, the originator of golf, and made it similar to later generations. The difference seems to be.
Seeing that the queen's face was rosy while playing, and her expression was cute and cute, Zhu Yijun scratched her nose and laughed and said: "Well, you guys go ahead and play, I'll ride the horse for a while."
Hearing that the emperor was going to ride a horse, Zhuang Jingjia handed the club in his hand to the female officer beside him and said with a smile: "Then I will also ride with the emperor." Seeing Zhu Yijun nodded, the female officer beside him quickly set up the curtain and asked the queen to change into riding clothes.
The horseback riding track in Xiyuan was built around the Chuiwan Field. It has slopes, rivers, and several low obstacles. In order to make the queen and other harem women love sports, Zhu Yijun specially entered a group of low obstacles. Horses for the women in the harem to ride on.
While the queen was changing clothes, the emperor and the queen's horses were already brought over. When Zhu Yijun saw his horse, he took off his gloves and gently stroked its forehead, then reached out and grabbed a handful of beans from the bag in Wei Chao's hand. Feed it to your beloved horse.
The horse snorted and ate the beans in Zhu Yijun's hand. Zhu Yijun asked the internal supervisor who was serving the horse, "Do you run every day these days?"
The eunuch knelt down and said, "If I go back to the emperor, my slaves and others dare not slack off. I lead it and run twenty miles every day. Because I am catching autumn fat, I also feed it a fresh egg every day."
Ma Jun, the guard with a sword beside Zhu Yijun, also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I came to see Zhuiyin yesterday and ran with me for twenty miles."
Ma Jun was the adopted son of Wang Tong, a member of the Imperial Guards. He was recommended to the emperor as a guard for more than two years. He was one of Zhu Yijun's most trusted people.
"Zhuiyin" is the name Zhu Yijun gave to his beloved horse. This horse was paid tribute by King Shunyi in the autumn of the third year of Wanli. It is as black as satin, with only a small section of white on each of its four hooves. When it runs, it looks like it is running on clouds from a distance.
, Shenjun is abnormal.
Although it is a great horse, no one dares to be careless when riding a horse for the emperor, so he can only breed it and ride it. This horse has a docile temperament, and Zhu Yijun has developed some affection for it after riding it for more than a year.
After Zhuang Jingjia finished changing her clothes, she came out from the curtain. Seeing that the emperor only cared about his beloved horse, she pouted and got on her pony with the help of the female officer. The horse was also gelded and equipped with a side-riding saddle - that is, in
A leg rest is installed above the footrest on the left side of the saddle. When a woman is riding, she can place her right leg on the leg rest to avoid the inelegant appearance of straddling.
When Zhu Yijun saw her fluttering long riding skirt, her dashing short coat with narrow sleeves, and her attractive undulating curves on her chest, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the admiration in her eyes could not be concealed. Zhuang Jingjia blushed when she looked at him.
He frowned and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Zhu Yijun gave her a thumbs up, then mounted his horse, and the two of them walked slowly along the track. Seeing this, the servants on the left and right also got on their horses and followed behind. Because the emperor was impatient, they could hear the whispers with the queen. These people were all there.
A few feet away.
...
In the Liuke Gallery, Jia Sanjin was reading with great emotion:
"After the founding of the Ancestor, it has been the time of the Taizu. Since the Jiajing and Longqing years, the old days of Chenghua and Hongzhi have not been completed. Most of the time, the accumulation of laws will lead to failure, and the failure of laws will make them more powerful. It is just to strengthen the country and benefit the people. Since I ascended the throne, the affairs of the country have been as follows
I am deeply saddened by the fact that thousands of people are crying out for food, and I deeply feel sorry for myself. I deeply reflect on the accumulated habits and whitewashing in recent decades, which have led to this long-term disadvantage."
"Since the first year of the year, all political affairs have been reorganized in order to gradually become prosperous and powerful. It is believed that the salt policy, the development of the Northeast, the management of the Huanghuai River, etc., have gradually reversed the decline of the country. The gains and losses of the past can be the guide for the future. Since the fifth year of Wanli
Since the past year, there have been some people who use the ancient methods and the teachings of the saints to talk nonsense, make false arguments, and make false distinctions between the old and the new."
...
In Xiyuan, Zhuang Jingjia asked Zhu Yijun in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did the morning meeting go well?" Zhu Yijun nodded and smiled and said: "Well, after months of publicity and dealing with a few unscrupulous people, the noise is much smaller now."
After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia looked at him with admiration and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a man of great courage." Zhu Yijun burst out laughing when he heard what she said.
...
"If the law is not updated, the old habits will not be broken; if you want to cheer up, you should discuss the changes. Previously, I have invited the prime ministers of the cabinet, Hanlin bachelors, six ministries, nine ministers, and provincial governors to discuss the current situation, ancient and modern political figures, and all the dynasties and states.
Therefore, when officials manage the people's livelihood, schools, industry and commerce, military affairs and finance, they should be reformed, provinces should be merged, and they should either take over others or seek for themselves. How will the country begin to prosper, how will talents begin to emerge, how will the expenditure begin to be prosperous?
How to prepare weapons and start repairing, everyone will tell what they know, express what they see, and write a memorial to listen to it."
...
"Your Majesty, after half a year of marriage, I have grown up a bit."
"Well, everything is bigger where it should be."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summoned my concubine yesterday and asked some questions."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"...The emperor is disgusted, I will ignore you."
...
"Although we have not considered it perfectly, we must not fail to implement it. Today is the imperial oath, which is the general purpose of the major policy:
A, the purpose of the reform
