Chapter four hundred and forty-two men worship, daughter worship
"The Nine Concubines are in charge of the methods of learning the women, teaching the virtues of the nine women, the words, the appearance, and the merits of the women. They are in charge of their subordinates and are in charge of the king's place. They are always worshipped, praise the jade, choose the queen, and recommend it. If there are guests, they will be in the queen. The grand funeral, and the general will cry like this..."
Yan Shu held a book of "The Book of Zhou" in his hand and kept chanting. Li Zhang looked at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting upright in the hall in boredom, but he couldn't help but yawn. Before, Yan Shu was demoted, but he made contributions to Yingtian's academic research, so he was transferred back to the capital last year and was promoted to the position of Chief Minister and Left Secretary of the Shangshu, which was a step to reach the sky.
However, although Yan Shu was promoted by Liu E, he was not in the same position as Liu E in some matters. For example, a few days ago, Liu E announced that she would go to Taimiao to worship her ancestors, but almost all the ministers opposed it. Yan Shu was one of the most fiercely opposed people, but Liu E was determined to go to Taimiao, and it would be useless for anyone to stop her. As a result, the ministers saw that they could not persuade Liu E, so they turned to write to Zhao Zhen, hoping that Zhao Zhen could speak to dissuade Liu E.
"The daughter is in charge of the Queen's internal sacrifices, and prayers. She is in charge of the affairs of time, tricks, horses, and custody to eliminate the disasters. The daughter is in charge of the queen's rituals. She is in charge of the queen's internal governance, and is in charge of the imperial edict to govern the internal affairs, and rebel against the inner palace, and write to the inner order. All the affairs of the queen are in charge of the rituals..."
Listening to the "Zhou Li" like the heavenly book, Li Zhang really wanted to doze off, but seeing Zhao Zhen sitting so straight, he could only endure it. Others wrote a letter to ask Zhao Zhen to dissuade Liu E, but Yan Shu took a different approach and actually came to teach Zhao Zhen with the "Zhou Li" in his arms. In fact, he used the "Zhou Li" to tell Zhao Zhen what the highest etiquette authority is.
"Yan participated in politics, let's stop studying. Can we just talk about serious matters?" Li Zhang finally couldn't help it. He interrupted Yan Shu who was reading "The Book of Zhou" and said that he and Yan Shu were also acquaintances. When he first met, he thought that the other party was a kind of honest person, but later after Liu E's reminder, he realized that Yan Shu was a kind of honest person, and no one else had less colorful intestines.
Yan Shu was actually tired of studying. After all, he had been studying for the six officials of Zhou Li for a long time and had not even finished the first official. Moreover, what he studied was not important. What was important was to let Zhao Zhen understand that some things were not something women should do.
So Yan Shu stopped when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then solemnly bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager insists on going to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors. This matter must not be done. If the Empress Dowager really does, where will the rituals and laws of the ancestors be placed?"
As soon as Yan Shu finished speaking, Xue Kui, the envoy of the Three Sessions who came with him, also stood up and agreed loudly: "What Yan Chan said is right, and I also think that the Empress Dowager must not be allowed to enter the Taimiao, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty!"
When they heard the advice of the two ministers, Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang also smiled at each other. They had expected this situation long ago. These ministers could not persuade Liu E, so they wanted to throw this hot potato to Zhao Zhen. Unfortunately, they didn't know that this potato was originally thrown to them by Zhao Zhen.
"Yan Guanzheng and Xue Jixiang, what you said is not unreasonable, but Your Majesty has not been persuaded by the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager refused to listen. Your Majesty is also very distressed about this. Those who are ministers naturally have to share your worries, so I think your Majesty doesn't have to come forward for this matter!" Li Zhang smiled and said.
Although Li Zhang's tone was very polite, the meaning in his words was not at all. He almost told Yan Shu nakedly that being a minister was to share the worries of the emperor. If you can't even do such a small thing, then you are incompetent.
Yan Shu and Xue Kui were both smart people, so they naturally heard what Li Zhang meant. At the moment, both of them turned pale, and Xue Kui even glared at Li Zhang fiercely, but Li Zhang didn't mind at all. Instead, he smiled and turned his face. Xue Kui was still very capable, especially in the management of the local area. However, the two sides now have different positions, so he could not help the ministers betray Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang had a tacit understanding, and at this time they covered their heads and showed a distressed expression, "Emperor Li said it well. I have not been able to eat and sleep for the sake of the Grandmaster these days. If all my dear friends can persuade the Grandmaster to change their minds, I don't have to be so distressed."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen did not catch the ball at all, but kicked the ball back, Yan Shu and Xue Kui also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In fact, they didn't want to cheat Zhao Zhen, but there was really no way. During this period, there were hundreds of memorials to dissuade Liu E, but Liu E didn't listen at all. They ran to find Zhao Zhen.
"I am incompetent, I am worried about Your Majesty!" Yan Shu finally held it in a long time and finally said, Zhao Zhen had said this. If he persuaded him again, he would be too shameless.
"I am tired. Yan Guanzheng, please discuss it again. If you can persuade the eldest lady to change her mind, I will reward you very much!" Zhao Zhen directly issued an order to expel the guest.
"I'm asking for my leave!" Yan Shu had no choice but to salute again, and after that, he was about to leave.
Just when Yan Shu was about to turn around, he found that Xue Kui was still standing there in a daze, which made him unable to pull the other party's sleeves, which made Xue Kui react, and then the two turned and left.
However, just as Yan Shu and the others walked a few steps, Xue Kui suddenly stopped again, then turned around and bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any words that should be said or not?"
"Xue Qing has something to say, but it doesn't matter!" Zhao Zhen said with a smile.
"If the Empress Dowager enters the Taimiao, will His Majesty worship the Han Dynasty or the daughter when he enters the Taimiao again in the future?" Xue Kui bowed again, then turned around and left, leaving behind Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang who were stunned behind him.
"This Xue Jixiang's mouth is so poisonous!" After a while, Li Zhang said with some emotion, and then looked at Zhao Zhen next to him, but found that his face was not very good either.
When Liu E entered the Taimiao, she must have bowed to the ancestors of the Song Dynasty. She was a daughter, so she naturally worshiped her daughter. But if she broke this example, what kind of etiquette should Zhao Zhen use if he entered the Taimiao again in the future? Although this sentence is a bit ridiculous, it sounds a little harsh in Zhao Zhen's ears.
"Forget it, I couldn't stop the Grand Empress. If you want to scold me, just scold me!" Zhao Zhen's face changed a few times, but finally he sighed a long sigh and said openly.
Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this. Although Zhao Zhen's performance was very generous, it was still related to his soft-heartedness. It seemed that his transformation of Zhao Zhen was still unsuccessful. If he wanted to make him a decisive and decisive hero, there would be no chance. He could only help him more in the future.
