"Oh, I just listened to the Sutra Banquet and interacted more with the masters." Zhu Hengjia said to himself, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The main reason is that these masters are not trivial, and they are all important officials of the imperial court. He chose a total of eight teachers for the crown prince Zhu Ruoji: Guan Shouzhen, Sun Jinding, He Wuzou, Zheng Feng; Zuo Du Yushi Guo Zhiqi; Min Guogong
Yan Tianfeng; Nanling Bo Sun Guangwei; Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Tang Zhen. Except for Sun Jinding who went to Nuergan to be the governor, and He Wuzou who became an official and returned to his hometown, the other six are all in Nanjing. In addition, there are also East Palace attendants,
More than ten lecturers.
This is a big political force. If the prince can't wait until he dies of old age and starts coveting the throne, what should he do?
The more the old emperor thought about it, the more worried he became, so he ordered Yang Huai to be made Duke of Jin, Zhang Chengwu to be Marquis of Danyang, in charge of the Imperial Guards, Fan Youxian, Duke of Shu, and Yan Zungao, Duke of E, to take charge of the garrison near the capital. These were all his
The most trusted generals. As for Yan Tianfeng and Shi Qiwen, one was granted the title of Grand Master and the other was granted the title of Taibao. They were ranked among the three princes, with respected status but no real power.
He smiled and said to Yan Tianfeng and Shi Qiwen: "Yan Qing, Shi Qing, Qing, etc. are getting old, so it's time for them to take a rest. In a few years, I, Fan Qing, and Yan Qing will also retire to the countryside. By then,
I have nothing to do, so I will travel with you and other old brothers and enjoy my old age in peace. Hahaha!"
While talking and laughing, the two senior officials were relieved of their military power, and the old emperor became dissatisfied with the system of banquet introduction.
The so-called Sutra Banquet refers to the imperial lecture halls set up by emperors since the Han and Tang dynasties to discuss Confucian classics and history. After the prince came out of the cabinet, there were also banquets for lectures.
Although this system was formally formed in the Song Dynasty, the Sutra and Banquet Notes were formulated in the Ming Dynasty. There are major lectures on the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of each month, and short lectures every day. In short, education cannot be abandoned, and students must learn every day.
People in the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to Sutra banquets and regarded them as the first thing to teach. They believed: "If Sutra banquets are not abolished for one day, the holy virtues and virtues of sacred learning will increase by one day; if they are not abolished for one month, the holy virtues and virtues of sacred learning will increase by one month."
"If people's minds and spirits are complicated, they will naturally become more sensitive. Sutras and banquet lectures are the way to broaden people's minds and stimulate their spirits."
It is said in the banquet that hundreds of officials serve in the class, which has a profound meaning. It goes like this: "If you connect with the wise men and officials in a human-centered manner, then there will be the beauty of a gathering spirit between the monarch and his ministers, the benefits of intentional instructions, colors, and teachings, and the temperament will change unexpectedly."
, Virtue develops without expecting it." To put it bluntly, this is an opportunity for Confucian officials to get close to the emperor and the prince, so they naturally receive special attention.
The opening banquet is a grand ceremony of the Ming Dynasty. There is only one minister who knows the banquet, the bachelor of the cabinet may know or share the banquet, the six ministers and other official attendants, and there are also people who display books, serve etiquette, serve, and praise each other.
On the first day of the tenth day of the lunar month, the emperor needs to visit the Wenhua Palace, and all these officials have to come, but they are temporarily exempted from the cold and summer weather; in the day's lecture, only the reading officials and cabinet bachelors are required to attend.
"The system of Jingyan is good, but it is too rigid. It is difficult to have classes every day. I myself often temporarily skip the Jingyan daily lectures because of the violation of the holy order or the extreme heat of the cold weather, which attracts hundreds of officials to come and remonstrate.
, what does it say, "Lectures should not be preceded by lectures during the emperor's important festivals, and lectures should not be preceded by scripture banquets." Alas! I can't listen to lectures every day, let alone the prince? Let's tell the prince that every ten days of lectures must be present and lectured every day.
Well, let him do what he wants." On the surface, the old father was afraid that his son would be too busy and tired, but in fact he was afraid that the prince would be too closely connected with these important ministers and threaten his throne.
Ma Huanxi, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, appeared in Ziguang Pavilion. Seeing that Ma Jixiang was also there, he glanced at him to indicate his intention.
I can’t write two horses in one sentence, but Ma’s father-in-law is very good at commanding the horses. The main reason is that the horse commander will have something to do. During the holidays, there are often "little gifts" to show filial piety. For the sake of "little gifts", Ma's father-in-law is very good at commanding horses.
Commander Ma naturally looked at him differently. However, both of them knew that the current emperor hated the collusion between internal servants and ministers, so they only dared to signal with their eyes, but did not dare to say hello.
"Your Majesty, please give me a question from the East Palace." Ma Huanxi's voice was gentle and soft, and it sounded very comfortable.
Zhu Hengjia attached great importance to the education of the crown prince. Every ten days, he would give a question to test the crown prince Zhu Ruoji to see how well he learned. Over time, it became a rule. Today, it is the day to set the question again.
"Today's test question," Zhu Hengjia paused and said softly, "I'm going to test him on the "Book of Filial Piety" and ask the prince: What is filial piety?"
In the Xinglong Hall of the East Palace, Zhu Ruoji was listening to his teacher Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Tang Zhen lecture on Confucian classics. All minor princes of the Ming Dynasty lived in the Yuqing Palace (renamed in the 15th year of Chongzhen) inside the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City.
(Duanbengu Palace), after adulthood, a separate residence will be arranged: East Palace.
Zhu Ruoji liked to listen to Tang Zhen's lectures very much. This master was not only knowledgeable, but also resourceful and good at changing things.
"Your Highness, the palace has sent today's test questions. Your Majesty asks you: What is filial piety?" The chamberlain of the East Palace presented today's test questions.
"Your Highness, you have to work hard on this article and don't be careless," Tang Zhen said seriously.
Zhu Ruoji pondered and asked: "What do you mean, sir?"
Tang Zhen nodded, "King Yi, Prince Yu has just entered the military academy to study. His Majesty Yin Yin's love for licking the calf is so thought-provoking!"
Zhu Ruoji understood clearly that Mr. Tang was hinting to him that his old father was afraid that he would be unfilial and seize his power in advance, so he began to use his two younger brothers to check and balance himself.
He bowed to Tang Zhen thoughtfully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your advice. I will definitely write this article well!"
Brush, brush, brush, pick up the pen and write:
"The Holy Dynasty of Fuwei ruled the world with filial piety, and the children of the people were still raised with care. Kuang'er was born in the royal family, and the saint's grace was so great. This is especially true. Filial piety is the foundation of virtue and the source of education! The body's hair and skin are affected by
Not daring to damage one's parents is the beginning of filial piety. It is the beginning of filial piety. It is the beginning of filial piety. It is the beginning and end of filial piety. It starts with serving relatives, ends with serving the king, and finally establishes one's own integrity.
.Therefore, "Daya" says: 'I have no thoughts about my ancestors, and I cultivate my virtues'.
Moreover, the son was naughty and naughty when he was young, but his father tolerated him in every possible way, and worked hard to bring him up. Now that his father is in his prime, it is time for the son to be loyal to the king and filial to his father! Lambs knelt down to breastfeed, crows nursed back, and animals still know how to be filial to their parents.
What about people? My son is already twenty-one years old, and he is a grown-up man. He is willing to beg for support and fulfill his filial piety in front of his father. I hope my father will show mercy to my foolish and sincere people, and fulfill my small ambitions. My son will be overwhelmed with sorrow and joy. A little foolishness and sincerity,
I would like to pay my respects and listen to you."
After finishing writing, Zhu Ruoji handed the essay to Tang Zhen, "Sir, look at it, is it okay to write it like this?"
After reading it, Tang Zhen praised: "Your Highness wrote very well. It's just that you not only have to write, but you also have to do it."
"Oh, how to do it?"
Tang Zhen said solemnly: "Whether it's windy or rainy, you should greet me every day and don't slack off! In addition, when you are doing errands at the Ministry of Household Affairs, no matter how big or small you are, you must report it to the Holy One before proceeding."
