Chapter 77 Afraid that he will cause trouble, but also afraid that he will not cause trouble
The place where the emperor really learned knowledge was actually not a sutra banquet but a daily lecture.
The formal significance of the sutra feast is far greater than the significance of learning.
In the Wenhua Hall, an imperial desk was placed in front of the emperor's throne.
A few steps in front of the imperial case is the lecture hall.
After Zhu Houcong arrived and sat down in the Wenhua Hall, the officials of Honglu Temple first placed the handouts on the imperial desk.
"Let's begin." Zhu Houcong nodded, and the praise officer began to notify others to enter the hall.
Cabinet bachelors, six ministers, censors from the Imperial Procuratorate, ministers of Dali Temple, ministers of general affairs, ministers of Honglu Temple...most of the senior officials of the imperial court are here.
Even Luo An, the temporary commander of the Jinyi Guards, came here.
At this moment, the chanting officer was announcing the process of the feast loudly, and everyone who participated had stood on both sides of the table in front of the imperial court.
These are all fine, Yan Song just struggled and roared in his heart: Where is the daily talk about daily life and the official comment that we agreed on? Where is my daily talk?
After yesterday, Yan Song was 100% convinced: His Majesty can win!
With his calmness and overall view, the emperor who showed his skills at the best opportunity of the first court meeting, and who later learned to restrain his eloquence and courage, the future court must only be around him.
The first lecturer, Yang Tinghe, stepped forward to start. Yang Shen had already opened the lecture notes for him and flattened them.
During the long process of the feast, if anyone does not clear his stomach in advance to add some atmosphere to the feast, he will basically say goodbye to Great Expectations.
Theoretically, the emperor only had to say one sentence during the entire feast.
"What I'm going to talk to Your Majesty about today is the way of the sage in Chapter 27 of The Doctrine of the Mean."
Normally, the emperor at the banquet would just listen quietly and not get involved in any other political affairs.
The sutra banquet has started, when will the daily lecture start?
"... Emperor Fu Wei uses the qualifications of a saint to spread the way of a saint and occupy the position of practicing it. He also wields the power of worshiping the heaven and the earth to praise and educate, restore the peace of ancient times, and eliminate the heretical and late learning. It is expected that it will prosper today.
I wish you the best."
Afraid that he might cause trouble, but also afraid that he might not cause trouble!
He, Yang Tinghe, had typed countless manuscripts today, but none of them were used. The emperor just finished the Sutra Banquet course without any surprises.
It was so calm that they were not used to it.
Outside the Wenhua Hall, beside the Zuoshun Gate, other Hanlin scholars and officials felt a little disappointed: the emperor did not promote anyone today.
So there is a reason why my cousin Houzhao doesn’t hold a sutra feast.
Zhang Zuo, who had been beaten before and now received understanding, was so excited that he quickly saluted and went to do his work.
Zhu Houcong understood this.
What matters will the emperor focus on? In addition to daily reports, Zhang Zuo also needs time to distinguish the key points.
Restore the peaceful scene of ancient times and get rid of the heresies other than Confucianism or the popular Neo-Confucianism today.
Then comes the feast.
The emperor's compliance with the etiquette and legal constraints of the Sutra Banquet means that he abides by the etiquette system respected by his dynasty.
The most important thing is that he needs to have a good mind and remember all the other minor things that are not included in the report, so that the emperor can ask about them at any time.
There was another meaning in the glances he exchanged with Yang Tinghe and others: The disaster of the Sun Jing Sect seemed to have never happened. What kind of determination?
Yang Tinghe felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
I don’t know how long it will take for Wang Shouren to come to Beijing.
"... I will go and ask you now."
The emperor had already driven back to the palace. Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Liang Chu, Jiang Mian and others.
The daily assistants Yan Song and Liu Long are ready to take their places. Huang Jin, the head of the internal affairs department, does not need to remember anything today.
The signal it conveys is much more sensitive than whether you are an heir or not. This is related to whether scholars in the world will consider whether you will have meat to eat by following you.
Chun Chun means being spoon-fed seriously.
Zhu Houconn didn't take it seriously: "There have been a lot of things in the past few days. You and Luo An need time to straighten out the factory. If you don't know anything, it's right to ask immediately. Check the status of the ministers in Beijing. The key point is to see who the old ministers in Qiandi are.
I went to see Wang Qiong a few days ago."
He turned around and asked, "Who have you seen visiting Wang Qiong's house these days?"
Or maybe it was just after the ministers submitted to the Holy Will yesterday due to arrangements made by Qian Ning and Jiang Bin who had no family assets?
You are unpredictable.
There are two lecturers, Yang Tinghe on the left is responsible for talking about the Four Books, and Shi Yue on the right is responsible for talking about history.
This is what Yang Tinghe hopes he will do when he talks about this article.
The ministers who participated in the sutra feast enjoyed the banquet there: according to the rules, the banquet could also be packed back and shared with family members.
Beside them were two scribes, Yang Shen and Zhang Bi.
What's more, it's a good thing to learn more about their way of thinking and the basis of their knowledge from the Sutra Banquet.
"I would like to be taught." Zhu Houcong only said this.
Even with the cooperation of Wei Bin, Zhang Yong and others, it is not easy for the two newcomers Zhang Zuo and Luo An to control both the inside and outside in a short period of time.
The emperor who was so aggressive on legal issues before was completely a respectful and studious young emperor at the Sutra banquet today.
The breaking of knowledge monopoly and the change of thinking take decades or even centuries as a unit.
Serious and serious study attitude!
He didn't do anything!
Until Shi Yuan had finished speaking, Zhu Houcong still did not cause trouble.
Yang Tinghe always spoke in loud and standard Mandarin, speaking slowly and solemnly.
As these words were spoken, the banquet began, and the main part of the banquet ended here.
Zhu Houcong was already looking at the memorials that had been backlogged yesterday and were newly submitted today. When he saw Wang Qiong's petition to reuse Sun Jiao, Zhu Houcong showed a strange look on his face.
"Sir, have a drink."
What he said was, "The way of the saint is so great that it is vast, develops all things, is as high as the sky, is excellent and great, has three hundred etiquettes, and three thousand majesties. Wait for others before proceeding."
The Jingyan handouts are approved by the cabinet.
Sutra banquets use very complicated etiquette, a solemn atmosphere, and pilgrimage-like learning content to allow the imperial power to express their respect for Confucianism and etiquette.
This is the disciple's offering to the "Master".
Among the small circle of important officials in the court, Liang Chu smiled kindly: "Your Majesty is very eager to learn. This is a good thing."
Is this the same emperor who made such absurd remarks about etiquette that day?
Naturally, Yang Tinghe was not the only one who observed the emperor with uneasiness.
Yang Tinghe started first, and Yang Shenhui was responsible for unfolding the handouts on the desk and flattening them with a copper ruler to facilitate Yang Tinghe's use.
Shi Yun stepped forward, and Yang Tinghe calmed down and looked at Zhu Houcong.
If Zhu Houcong behaved deviantly at the Sutra banquet, it would touch upon the most essential issue of this era: Do you want to cut off the way forward for all the literati in the world who read the Four Books and Five Classics and follow the teachings of etiquette and law?
If he wanted to do anything at the scripture feast, it would not be now.
I didn't get impatient in the middle, nor did I ask anything.
The bigger the leader, the more superficial occasions.
After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he and Yang Shen would return to their original positions, and Shi Yue and Zhang Bi would come forward.
The times are like this, and Zhu Houcong really has to rely on these people to get things done.
From the time Zhu Houcong arrived here, to the subsequent introduction to the chamber to see the emperor, to the subsequent reading of the sutras and banquet proceedings, the whole process was quiet, with no one speaking or making any indecent sounds.
Zhou Zhao and Yuan Zonggao both told him what the Jingyan represents.
Now Yan Song has very complicated feelings towards the emperor.
Could it be that, as said in the court meeting over there, he was very aware that he shouldered the important task of maintaining etiquette and maintaining the prosperity and wealth of everyone in the hierarchy, so he was not like Emperor Zhengde?
Of course, even Emperor Zhengde would not express any dissatisfaction at the Sutra Feast at the beginning. He only targeted certain people afterwards, and later stopped holding the Sutra Feast at all.
When Zhu Houcong returned to Qianqing Palace, he hummed silently in his heart, "I should do my best to cooperate with you in the performance" while changing clothes.
If the emperor is not solemn and does not pay attention to his manners, the lecturer will immediately stop preaching and seriously ask: "Is it disrespectful to be a king?"
The news from the factory guard needs to be compiled, and the relationship between the eunuch Si Li who is also in charge of the factory guard and Zhang Zuo also needs to be reconciled.
That is, after the sutra banquet was over, the emperor said: "Sir, have a drink."
It wasn't until a long time later that Yang Tinghe ended his speech, and with a solemn salute in his heart, he returned to the left side of the lecture table.
Zhang Zuo, who was asked hastily, suddenly became excited and confessed with a trembling voice.
Zhu Houcong was listening, and he was just listening.
After the process briefing, the feast officially began.
Look, there is another piece of evidence for the reputation of being wise.
Yang Tinghe's stress reaction came again.
He also observed the emperor's reaction.
The solemnity and sanctity of the sutra feast are clearly visible.
Starting from one sentence, it is followed by nearly a thousand words.
Judging from today's performance at the feast, the emperor... was flawless.
Zhu Houcong waited for him to leave and then asked: "Huang Jin, Qingping, do many people know about the dealings between my father and Sun Shangshu back then, especially the matter between me and the daughter of the Sun family?"
I would like to recommend to my friends the new book "Gou practices more in the demon world", which will be released tonight: Countless demon clans have gathered together to kill the largest demon in the demon world and restore a bright future to the demon world. "I am just a half-demon. I just want to practice some practice in peace, why are you making things so difficult for me, a eater!"
Order new books from big guys, the quality is guaranteed.
