Chapter 26: Royal Prelude

What's even more terrifying... When they were free, Yang Shiqi and Deng Jian were chatting in the Zhang family's tea room.

Eunuchs like Deng Jian are of course very considerate towards people. The two chatted cordially, and Yang Shiqi changed the topic and said: "Eunuch Deng, may I ask why His Highness the Crown Prince invited this official to come here to teach?"

Deng Jian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, well... as far as I know, His Highness the Prince seems to have heard that you had been a teacher for many years before becoming an official. Yang Xianggong taught for so many years.

, it must be very insightful.”

Yang Shiqi: "..."

His face was blue and he said nothing.

Before the window paper on this layer was pierced, he had vaguely felt that this was possible, but now that he had real evidence, he realized that the prince's favor for him was just a joke.

Moreover, he had heard some terrible rumors recently. The reason why he wanted to teach Zhang Anshi how to read was because the King of Han proposed that the emperor's relatives go to the royal family banquet. There was something very mysterious about this...

I'm afraid that someone will deliberately make Zhang Anshi, a fool, make a fool of himself.

And once His Majesty becomes angry and is investigated, who will be unlucky?

Even if Zhang Anshi is a pig, he is still a pig related to the prince.

And he, Yang Shiqi, was the one who took the blame for the unfavorable outcome.

So Yang Shiqi drank tea desperately to vent his anger, and then continued to go to the latrine with all his strength.

Ruined.

The mountain rain is about to come, the thunder is coming, and when the time comes, there will be no bones left, and all the beautiful dreams will be in vain.

But at this moment...can you still escape?

Yang Shiqi had no choice but to continue visiting the grave, and then faced Zhang Anshi every day and asked him with concern: "Shitao Yang, have you eaten?"

Yang Shiqi just wants to eat people.

A few days later, he still went to Hanlin to pay a visit, and then prepared to leave for the Zhang family.

However, when it was time to check the room in Hanlin, the official looked at Yang Shiqi with a strange look and said, "Is it Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang, you are here, hurry up and enter the palace."

"Enter the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has an edict to send you to see him."

Yang Shiqi: "..."

Is this a blessing or a curse?

…………

Nanjing Forbidden City.

Zhu Di was reconciling with Yao Guangxiao in the palace, while Yang Rong and others were talking.

But today, even Han King Zhu Gaoxu came.

Zhu Gaoxu loved to join in the fun, especially Zhu Di's. Although he claimed to be Li Shimin, he knew that his father was not Li Yuan.

So no matter when, His Highness the King of Han could always appear by Zhu Di's side at the right or wrong time.

"Father... I have never heard of Yang Shiqi, but I heard that he is the prince's minister..."

Zhu Gaoxu paused and added: "He is already quite old, but he is so unknown. I heard he doesn't even have the honor of being a civil servant."

Hearing that Zhu Di was going to summon Yang Shiqi, Zhu Gaoxu made a big comment about it.

Yao Guangxiao stood aside and turned a deaf ear. He never asked about Zhu Di's family affairs.

As for Jie Jin...

Xie Jin has an excellent relationship with the prince. Of course, although they are good friends, he is wary of the people around the prince.

This is actually understandable, colleagues are enemies.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Just say less."

After saying that, he looked at Xie Jin and said, "Does Jie Qing's family know about this Yang Shiqi?"

Although Xie Jin joined the cabinet as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he also served in the Hanlin Academy, so he was quite familiar with the situation of the Hanlin Academy.

Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this person is indeed as His Highness the King of Han said. During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the country lacked Confucian scholars. Therefore, although the imperial examination was held to recruit scholars, ministers were ordered to recommend Confucian scholars to the court. Yang Shiqi was here

Under such circumstances, he came to serve as an official in the court, but he was usually taciturn in the Hanlin Academy and did not show any extraordinary talents, so I thought..."

Xie Jin did not continue what he said, but the meaning was already very clear.

It was an expedient measure when the Ming Dynasty was founded that people without fame enter the official career. After decades of imperial examinations, a large number of Jinshi entered the court, and naturally no one wanted to take these people seriously.

For example, Xie Jin mentioned the imperial examination emphatically, that is, Xie Jin was a Jinshi.

Zhu Di said calmly: "I heard that Yang Shiqi is a talented person, so I wanted to meet him."

When Xie Jin heard this, he immediately stopped talking. For this reason, if he said anything else, he would be ignorant.

However, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, couldn't help but said: "There may be a traitor around my father. My father needs to be aware of this."

The King of Han always liked to contradict him, which of course would be offended by other people, but Zhu Di liked this son, but thought he was outspoken, so instead of incriminating him, he praised him repeatedly.

However, Zhu Di's face turned down this time and said: "You are the vassal king. Do you still need to make the decision on national affairs?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

"Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi has an audience."

"Xuan." Zhu Di said.

After a while, Yang Shiqi entered the palace nervously, bowed as expected, and shouted long live.

Zhu Di looked at Yang Shiqi and saw that he was not good-looking, so he asked, "Is Yang Qing on duty in the Imperial Academy?"

"yes."

Zhu Di asked: "What responsibilities do you have?"

Yang Shiqi said: "Writing the scriptures and meaning, or going to the East Palace to be on duty."

Zhu Di didn't like these guys who were arrogant, but he still said patiently: "Is there anything involved in the official correspondence of the imperial court?"

"Yes, Hanlin is responsible for copying imperial edicts and memorials and archiving them. I know something about this."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, since you often go to the East Palace to give lectures, what do you think of Zhan Shifu?"

Zhanshifu is an institution of the East Palace, responsible for the prince's education and daily life.

Yang Shiqi was in a state of confusion. He couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to summon him, but now that the matter was coming, he had to deal with it.

Then he said: "When Zhan Shifu was giving lectures to His Royal Highness, most of them liked to talk about poetry and grammar, which I thought was inappropriate."

Zhu Di became interested: "Oh? So according to what Qing said, what should we talk about?"

Yang Shiqi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should pay attention to the study of the Six Classics, and read the imperial edicts of the Han Dynasty in his spare time. As for poetry and grammar, it is just a small skill, not enough to learn."

After Zhu Di heard this, he looked at Yang Shiqi with a strange look.

This person... is different from other civil servants. For many civil servants, this poetry and grammar are simply their lifeblood, but Yang Shiqi thinks that it is just a small skill.

Zhu Di asked: "What is the use of studying the edicts of the Han Dynasty?"

Yang Shiqi said: "Emperors in the past dynasties have issued edicts in response to different situations, with gains and losses.

Yang Shiqi paused and continued: "If you read these imperial edicts, you can better understand the situation of the states and counties in the Han Dynasty. Then, by comparing it with the "Book of Han", you can know the situation after the edict was promulgated, and then get the meaning of the edict.

The impact it produces is a blessing or a disaster for the country. Then we will review this to see why some edicts cannot be implemented, and some edicts will cause the collapse of the world's order after implementation, while some edicts can benefit the world. In this way

Come and learn from history."

After hearing this, Zhu Di became more energetic. He stared at Yang Shiqi for a while, then turned to Xie Jin and said, "What do Jie Qing's family think?"

Xie Jin said: "I have some doubts about what Yang Shi said about using edicts to understand the people's sentiments and national policies..."

Yang Shiqi took a cautious look at Xie Jin. Xie Jin was his boss's boss's boss and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, so he hurriedly said: "Please give me some advice."

Xie Jin said: "Based on this, it's just a glimpse of the leopard."

Yang Shiqi said: "That's why comparison is needed. Only after constant comparison with the "Book of Han", "Edicts" and "Memoras" can we find the truth of the matter."

Xie Jin smiled: "You have been in Hanlin for a long time. Can you know the world affairs with this?"

"Know a thing or two."
