Chapter 76 Why are you always suspicious of His Majesty (Happy New Year)
Chapter 76 Why are you always suspicious of His Majesty (Happy New Year)
On the second day of May, there was no more smoke coming out of the Rijing Gate.
The emperor held the sutra feast for the first time. To show his respect, he had already decided to give it up before today's Chang Dynasty.
After the fire at the Rijing Gate, the banquet went on as usual, and the emperor had already sent a signal that he would not go to war over this incident.
The emperor's broad mind has indeed reassured many people's hearts.
Although this matter has nothing to do with them, who knows who will fall into the water due to the storm?
Not all the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are eligible to attend the Sutra Banquet. Those who have not yet left the academy, those with insufficient qualifications, and those ordinary eighth or ninth graders are not qualified to attend the Sutra Banquet.
But for this first sutra banquet, the emperor wanted to meet all the people registered in the Hanlin Academy, and they all participated in the banquet after the sutra lecture.
Jing Yan Jing Yan is because there are both scriptures and banquets.
It is an honor to be able to eat the sutra feast.
For this honor, everyone who can participate fasts, burns incense, cleanses and bathes.
Zhu Houcong would always walk in the palace unless there were special circumstances.
Zhang Wei was surrounded by guards who had seen Zhu Houcong running in the palace in the morning. The emperor's persistence and perseverance infected them day after day.
"I have weathered many storms!" Yang Tinghe sighed, "Yong Xiu, although you have some talent, you are really too young for this matter in court. Read more, think more, and talk less!"
Only at this stage when the new king has just ascended the throne, it is difficult for the important ministers to oppose everything. In that case, the suspicion of seizing power will be too obvious.
As for whether it was a banquet for learning scriptures, the emperor restored the old system of using honorary ministers. It was just an honor and did not involve practical benefits, so why should he stop it?
The left door is open, and the Wenhua Hall is ready.
Paying attention to the sutra feast is to tell the world's scholars that the emperor is willing to govern the country under the guidance of the saints and rely on the world's scholars.
Many corners of the capital began to prepare for entering the palace.
Yang Tinghe felt as uneasy as Zhu Houcong scolded Zhang Zuo: "Don't lie! It's a good thing that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Sutra Feast! Why do you always wonder if His Majesty is going to start a war? Do you want to cause chaos in the court?"
Zhu Houcong, who was dressed again after his morning run, stepped out of the palace gate: "Let's go and listen to the lecture."
In the Qianqing Palace, after experiencing a fire in front of his house, the emperor continued his morning run when he saw that the rain had stopped today. The harem, which had been frightened yesterday, felt much relieved.
Needless to say, Yang Tinghe served as the lecturer for this first sutra feast, which had even greater symbolic significance.
It is also customary for other cabinet ministers to know about the banquet together.
As for the two Zhan Shuguan responsible for translating "lecture notes" for lecturers, they were both Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde. Yang Yingkui, who went to Liangxiang to deliver the ceremonial notes that day, was in the same class as them, and now he has died with Mao Cheng.
.
The fact that all the Hanlin Academy members were able to attend this sutra banquet also expressed the emperor's emphasis on talents.
There is no need to trouble them to arrange the specific experience organization preparations themselves.
At the forefront of them were the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the left and right censors, the Imperial College Jijiu and other important ministers.
Yang Tinghe looked at his son, although he nodded and listened to the instruction, but his eyes were still dissatisfied with his own judgment, and he could only feel helpless: The young man is famous, he is the number one scholar in high school, he is arrogant.
Guo Xunzhuyu was in front, and Zhang Wei, who had the merit of welcoming and protecting, also participated in yesterday's banquet. Now he showed his sincere respect for the emperor, and also had some thoughts related to the reset of the three major camps.
Yang Shen, who was already a little stressed, was very worried: "Father, Your Majesty dismissed the court to hold a Sutra banquet, and allowed all the sages to attend the Sutra banquet, and you don't need to know about the Sutra banquet. After the Rijingmen fire, it will be held as usual, like breakfast
Do you have any plans to write something for the sutra banquet?"
Today's glory first belongs to Guo Xun. He first learned about the banquet, and yesterday he was ordered to represent the Fifth Army Governor's Office to participate in the dismantling of the imperial camp and the reorganization of the Beijing camp. Guo Xun became the first person among the honorary ministers to be reused by the new emperor.
Not to mention that when they were waiting just now, Zhang Zuo came over and asked them to wait, saying that the emperor had not finished running yet.
There was a fire at their house the night before, but they were still able to run with peace of mind today. They really admired His Majesty's calmness.
It used to be a common practice for Xun ministers to be responsible for the banquet of knowledge. However, after the Tianshun period, it was generally the chief minister of the cabinet who held the post concurrently.
Shi Yun is currently in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and he took the exam last year.
The emperor paid so much attention to it that he almost got burned to death but still held the sutra feast as usual. After they returned yesterday, they had another violent bath: not only because they were soaked in the rain yesterday, but also they had to be more careful about their appearance.
Hanlin bachelors are noble and noble, but only when they start to take up actual positions can they rise faster.
After the banquet, Guanglu Temple has also begun preparations for the banquet.
"...The son is just worried about his father!"
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Shen, who is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has also gotten up. Yang Tinghe, a bachelor, is still giving the lecture today.
This is an experience and an honor.
The Sutra feast was extraordinary.
After leaving the Qianqing Gate, Hui'anbo Zhang Wei, the guard in charge today, knelt down.
There is another possibility that makes everyone's heart beat faster: Will the emperor promote anyone else at this sutra banquet?
After the fire, will His Majesty be more eager to have loyal ministers?
Now that I think about it, it was the best time for the emperor to be aggressive during his first court meeting before he ascended the throne.
He couldn't care less. Yang Tinghe was a lecturer today and he had to prepare early.
One is the son of the chief minister, and the other is from Shishou in Jingzhou Prefecture, a fellow villager of Yuan Zonggao.
All of them are the best in the academic field: those who rank first and third in the first class will be directly awarded positions in the Hanlin Academy; those who rank first in the second class can enter the Hanlin Academy to serve as shujishi or government officials.
Today's glory still belongs to the two lecturers Yang Tinghe and Shi Yue, and to the two bookstore officials Yang Shen and Zhang Bi.
He was still not convinced that he couldn't even compete with a fifteen-year-old child.
This time, Guo Xun was in charge of the banquet.
There are human feelings and sophistication everywhere.
At dawn, the Hanlin scholars gathered outside the Meridian Gate.
Those who are not members of the Imperial Academy will not join the cabinet.
But today is different. The sutra feast was a special ceremonial occasion.
"On the day when Your Majesty first visited the DPRK, couldn't you restrain yourself from making false claims?" Yang Tinghe was still a little scared when he recalled it, and his face was very stern, "In terms of character, skills, and eloquence, you can't see that His Majesty is superior to you.
Do you think that I have no other choice in the palace, just because I am riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off? Now that the situation in the court is getting more and more treacherous, you must be cautious in everything! Today you are just the official secretary, don't say a word!"
Yang Shen and Zhang Bi did not need to be personally selected by the emperor, but were recommended by the Hanlin Academy.
Everyone standing here has a starting point that is far higher than those in the same field and has a greater future.
"...The son just asked his father for advice."
The classroom has been prepared, and the Han generals are guarding inside and outside the Wenhua Hall.
A Jingyan is a Jingyan. What can the emperor do when he talks about Confucian classics and affirms their meaning?
Yang Tinghe was not worried. First, he listened to the government, listened to lectures, and listened to advice in the past few days, and then he was calm and rational yesterday. The emperor only valued the Sutra Banquet because he understood the symbolic meaning of the Sutra Banquet.
"Let's get started." After Zhu Houcong asked him to get up, he just smiled.
After sitting on the Buhu, the emperor, surrounded by imperial guards and honor guards, began to move towards the Wenhua Hall.
The door of the Meridian Gate was also opened, and the civil servants who had the honor to attend the Sutra Banquet also began to gather outside the Zuoshun Gate.
When things came to a close, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but become nervous again: Will there really be any accidents today?
Although my son is not a bad person in terms of human sophistication, he is really smart.
