Early the next morning, the royal chariot headed north, and the meandering team stretched out for several miles, heading towards Tianshou Mountain in a mighty manner.
There was no conversation all the way, and at about the same time as Shen Shi in the late afternoon of the same day, the large procession visiting Zhaoling arrived at its destination.
Tianshou Mountain has arrived.
Passing through the stone archway and arriving at the dismounting monument, civil servants got off their sedans, military generals dismounted, and even Zhu Yijun himself got off the dragon chariot, walked through the palace gate, and entered the Thanksgiving Hall on the right front.
The Thanksgiving Hall was the palace where the emperor stayed when he came to pay homage to his ancestors. Important civil servants could also live in the side hall of this palace at certain times, such as on special orders from the emperor.
In terms of position and title, Gao Pragmatic was certainly not an important civil servant. However, he was given the name of a counselor during this trip, which was quite important, so he was specially allowed to stay by the emperor to express his gratitude.
The palace is off to the side.
However, in order to show respect for the four important ministers, the four important ministers all lived in a row of side halls on the left side of the main hall. As a small Imperial Academy editor, Gao pragmatically could not be adjacent to the ministers and ministers.
"I had no choice but" to be arranged in a small house on the right side of a row of side halls.
Since it is a palace, of course there are "palace" rules. None of the servants brought by Gao Jingshi can enter. Only Gao Jingshi can enter. This also indicates that Zhu Yijun does not intend to arrange for the third princess and Hou Gongchen to meet here.
.
Probably Zhu Yijun felt that he could not arrange for a future couple to meet in front of these ancestors.
The memorial speech is actually very easy to write. Just as his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy complained, any Hanlin could have done it. However, since he had this name, Gao Pragmatic still wrote a memorial to Mu Zong very seriously.
The memorial poem of Emperor Longqing is composed of five parallel poems and Liliu poems, which show the literary talent of the Six Number One Scholars.
"My emperor is pure in talent, magnanimous and benevolent. He has surpassed his vassal status to practice the throne and inherit the legacy of Shizong. At this time, the laws and regulations are strict, the outline is clear, the officials are conscientious in their duties, and the world is governed."
"Since my emperor came to the imperial court, many people have asked me to repair the palace and summon the right stories, but none of them have agreed. However, the upper part is thick and thick, and it does not kill but it is powerful; it is quiet and secret, and it cannot be observed but it is wise. Although the order is
Before he comes out, his transformation and action are as fast as a gallop; although his mouth has not spoken, his voice is as fast as a earthquake. He can especially respect his assistant, trust his elders, gather all the strength of the group, and gather all the thoughts."
What else is there to say: "Observe the laws of the ancestors, without the trouble of disputes and restrictions; the teachings of the first emperor and the second emperor are a long-term security plan. They are all based on Chen's considerations and move in line with the past; thus, China is in peace and foreign barbarians are in the wind."
Gai Qingping calmed the people and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He controlled the people with benevolence and followed Song Zong. After six years of reigning in the country, he made grand plans and achieved great virtues and achievements that cannot be described in detail..."
All in all, in Gao Pragmatic's writing, Mu Zong was an extremely good emperor.
Of course, he could only write like this.
However, he is also willing to write this.
The speech was easy to handle, but the ceremony was a bit troublesome. The main issue was how to arrange the ceremony for the princess. The four important ministers had a great debate.
This argument was so intense that not only Zhu Yijun was in a state of confusion, but even Gao Pragmatic did not dare to interrupt. He thought that his level of etiquette was still very limited. If he had the opportunity to join in the future,
It is better not to take the most common route of first adding the Minister of Rites, and then pushing the court into the pavilion. Otherwise, if there happens to be a large-scale ceremonial event, and you are the Minister of Rites and don’t know how to handle it, then it will be a disaster.
It's so embarrassing.
But then I thought about it and found it funny again - Damn it, I'm still far away from the elders of the palace, so I'm just thinking about how to join the palace, and I won't be afraid of making people laugh to death if I tell you.
After finally waiting for the four important ministers to agree on the etiquette, Zhu Yijun hurriedly made a decision: That's it!
In fact, he was mainly afraid. These top students at that time argued with each other for almost two hours, citing classics. He and Gao Qingzai listened with great interest, then their eyes gradually became dull, and finally almost fell asleep. He really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
.
Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind... No, we only need the timing of the emperor's death anniversary. The four important ministers went to arrange various etiquettes, and Zhu Yijun quietly called Gao Pangshi over and said to him: "Although something happened yesterday, forget it."
I have to talk to that Hou Gongchen, but at least I took a look at his appearance, and he looks pretty good... When do you think we can arrange for Yao'e to meet him?"
Gao Pragmatic is a bit sluggish. Didn’t you have any arrangements for co-writing before?
Zhu Yijun felt his mood, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he smiled dryly and said: "Hey, don't look like this, I have made up my mind, you come here to show me the specific arrangements, isn't this reasonable?"
Gao Pragmatic nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty is right, it is reasonable and reasonable."
Zhu Yijun just pretended not to hear his teasing and coughed lightly: "Then you should think about it quickly."
Gao pragmatic touched his bald chin and muttered: "I definitely can't arrange it in Tianshou Mountain, lest I be disrespectful to the late emperor..."
Zhu Yijun nodded repeatedly.
Gao pragmatic added: "It certainly can't be after returning to Beijing..."
Zhu Yijun was about to nod when he suddenly glared and said, "Nonsense! Can you say something useful?"
Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I want to talk nonsense, but time is tight on this journey. Only in Tianshou Mountain because they have to prepare etiquette, they have more time. However, they have scruples in Tianshou Mountain. After all calculation, it seems that only
It is convenient to arrange it at Nanshahe Huangzhuang Villa."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case, so he said: "Then we will arrange it in the Nanshahe Courtyard. You can think about it again, how to arrange it specifically." He paused, and then added: "I still think
,Although Yao'e is beautiful and dignified, Hou Gongchen still can't let Hou Gongchen see her before he worships Yao'e."
Gao Pragmatic really couldn't figure out what kind of psychology this was, but he felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, even if Zhu Yao'e was not beautiful or dignified, Hou Gongchen would not reject it because of it.
After all, his family owed money to the Duke of Dingguo's government, and his aunt suffered from a chronic disease. As a lay student, he could only guarantee that he would not starve to death. How could he afford the long-term medical expenses?
The more critical issue is that Gao Pangshi has read his article. Being serious is the level of a scholar. Although it is not bad, it is just barely enough. If you want to pass the exam, you will have no chance unless a great master forcibly lets you down.
Therefore, Princess Neng Shang is his best way out at present.
Of course, if Gao Pangshi hadn't been assigned the task of finding a prince consort for Her Royal Highness, he wouldn't have minded asking Hou Gongchen to learn mathematics, and then put him in any industry in Beijing as a middle-level manager.
But since Princess Shang has an errand, let Hou Gongchen be the Prince Consort.
Although the third princess is named "Third Princess" in name, her first two half-sisters died in infancy. She is actually the eldest princess. In the future, her consort will most likely be able to take charge of the clan.
Mansion, as ordered by the clan.
Although the Zongren Mansion has no real power, it is nominally the first-ranked yamen in the Ming Dynasty, the head of all yamen! And the Zongren Ling is a high-ranking official of the imperial court...
Of course, these are useless things. The key is that if Zong Renling is willing to stand with Gao, it will be much easier to handle the affairs of the vassal in the future.
Well, Mr. Gao really didn't miss any available space.
