Li Zhen sat on the dragon chair, bored and listening to the courtiers discussing important affairs in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Originally, everyone only needed to discuss matters in the Zichen Hall to the north of the Xuanzheng Hall. Since Xuanzong, the Zichen Hall has been the emperor's palace, and he was indeed much more comfortable there. After all, all the officials were in the Xuanzheng Hall, and only a few came to the Zichen Hall to hear the announcement.
, There are a lot less people, so it’s a lot easier.
But there was no way. My father said that it was his first New Year after he ascended the throne, so the first lunar month meeting of the new year was very important and had to be made more formal. This made him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the first lunar month, and he could only sit on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Suffering in the chair.
There are hundreds of officials standing in the Xuanzheng Hall, which is so dense that it makes people have a headache. Especially Li Zhen doesn’t really understand. He was only 12 years old when his father supported him to the throne last year. He has only been on the throne for less than half a year now. How can he understand these political affairs?
Last year, in the 14th year of Xiantong, Li Zhang's father, Emperor Li Miao, passed away at the age of 41. His posthumous name was Emperor Ruiwen Zhaoshenggong Huixiao, his temple name was Yizong, and he was buried in Jianling.
In fact, in early July last year, Yizong was already seriously ill and could hardly see anything. Everyone thought that the successor must be Li Xuan's eldest brother, King Wei Li Yan. At that time, Li Xuan was still called Li Yan, and he was a company.
The title is very ordinary, Puwang.
You see, there were eight surviving sons of the late emperor Yizong, namely the eldest son of the emperor, King Li Yi of Wei, the second son of King Li Qian of Liang, the third son of King Li Ji of Shu, the fourth son of King Ying Li Xiu, and the fifth son of King Li of Pu.
Yan, the sixth son is the lucky king Li Bao, the seventh son is the longevity king Li Jie, and the eighth son is the good king Li Yi.
Among them, King Li Yi of Wei is the eldest son, and King Li Bao of Ji is the most virtuous among the eight brothers. He, the King of Pu, is right in the middle.
The youngest son has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, King Pu Li Yan never thought about competing for the throne. He has been keen on amusement, riding and shooting, swordsmanship, arithmetic, music, Go, gambling since he was a child. He is almost masterful in the entertainment business, especially playing polo.
In terms of skills, he can be said to be superb!
However, things are unpredictable. On the 16th day of the seventh lunar month, Yizong became seriously ill, and the eunuch Tian Lingzi, who had always slept with King Pu Li Yan, began to find someone to connect with him that night. On the 18th, the eunuch Tian Lingzi and Liu Xingshen
Han Wenyue and other leaders of the imperial army supported King Pu Li Yan.
In this way, King Pu Li Yan became the crown prince and changed his name to Li Xuan.
On July 20, the 14th year of Xiantong, Prince Li Zhen, the emperor, stood in front of the coffin. He was 12 years old.
The new emperor granted Tian Lingzi the title of privy envoy and the post of lieutenant of the Shence Army, commander of the Forbidden Army; while two ministers, Liu Xingshen, lieutenant of the left army, and Han Wen, lieutenant of the right army, were in power in the middle and were granted the title of Duke.
After he ascended the throne, Li Zhen was unwilling to govern, so he entrusted Tian Lingzhi with political affairs, and called Tian Lingzhi "father", that is, his adoptive father. After all, what those people in the Hanlin Academy said, those who work hard will govern people, and those who work hard will govern.
Man! Li Zhen doesn’t have to manage the government, he just needs to manage the ministers who manage the government well!
So I leave the specific matters to my father and the courtiers, and they will naturally take care of it; I only need to play polo, fight cocks and bet on geese, but since I became the emperor, those people always lose, which is not fun anymore.
I'll have to think of a solution in a few days!
By the way, it’s been a long time since a Go player came out of the country. Let’s hold a new competition this year! We must select the strongest and youngest Go masters so that they can compete with a genius like me!
In this way, after Li Xuan thought about what projects to play next, the lengthy court meeting finally came to an end.
Father Tian Lingzi slowly helped the young emperor Li Xuan to the inner hall. He looked at the yawning Li Xuan and sighed: "It's really hard for everyone. It's all my fault that I failed to subdue these veterans and made everyone suffer.
for a long time!"
Li Zhen patted Tian Lingzi on the back casually and said: "Father, I have entrusted the political affairs to your hands. If you feel that any of the old ministers are against you, just demote him from Beijing. Why are you complaining to me?"
"
Tian Lingzi was delighted when the emperor told him to eliminate dissidents. He quickly added: "Yes, yes, I understand! As long as everyone has to endure for one more day, after tomorrow's court meeting, the Za family will free up a month or two for everyone."
Time to have fun!”
Li Zhang slapped his forehead and asked helplessly: "Is there one more day?"
Tian Lingzi knew that the two-month-long first-month court meeting had almost made the young emperor lose his patience. If he really annoyed the emperor, he himself would suffer. He could be where he is today because of the holy family, so he quickly said: "
Everyone, do you know where the Zajia family is taking you now?"
Li Zhen raised his eyes and glanced around, and asked curiously: "Where are you taking me, father?"
Tian Lingzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, just follow me. You will be surprised! Before you go, Zajia will tell you about ancient times and the story behind this surprise!"
Li Xuan asked with a smile: "When did my father learn from those old academics from the Hanlin Academy and start talking about ancient times?"
Tian Lingzi shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone is joking, but the old slave's story about ancient times is different from the Hanlin and bachelor's stories. At least the story is much more interesting!"
Li Zhang laughed: "Then I am all ears!"
Tian Lingzi began to introduce it. It turned out that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Qi practitioner who was very good at divination. His name was Zhuang Zun, also known as Junping. He was the author of "Laozi Zhu", "Laozi Zhigui" and "The Bone Marrow of the Book of Changes" and other works. He was known as the "Western Qi Practitioner".
Shu Yisheng".
However, when Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote the "Book of Han", Emperor Ming Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty changed Zhuang Zun and Zhuang Junping to Yan Zun and Yan Junping because of taboos. Zhuang Zun trained a generation of great scholars Yang Xiong. Without these two masters and apprentices, Lao and Zhuang would have
His studies may not be as famous as they are today.
There are very few records about Zhuang Zhou in the pre-Qin classics, so many scholars believe that it is controversial whether Zhuang Zhou existed. Zhuang Zhou became famous and became a scholar of the Three Mysteries at the same time as Laozi and Yi. It was in Zhuang Zhou that he
It follows that after Yang Xiong became famous, it was not until the Tianbao reign of Xuanzong that he was named Nanhua Zhenren by imperial edict.
Therefore, many people in the Tang Dynasty speculated that "Zhuangzi" has fifty-two chapters and more than 100,000 words. The seven inner chapters should be the original work of Zhuangzi, while the twenty-eight outer chapters, fourteen miscellaneous chapters, and three explanatory chapters are mostly written by Master Yan and Yang.
A work of honor.
"Han Shu" also records that this Yan Jun knew astronomy, recognized the stars, was good at divination, and understood metaphysics. He could be said to be a scholar of heaven and man, and his merits reached the heaven and earth. He actually lived in Pingle Mountain more than 20 years before Xinmang usurped the Han Dynasty.
There are eight words written on it: "Wang Mang was killed, Guangwu Zhongxing"!
Li Xuan was really surprised after hearing Tian Lingzi's introduction: "I know that there are many forgeries in the Sutra, but I never expected that the real Nanhua was actually the fusion of the images of Zhuang Zhou and Zhuang Zun. Their names sounded different."
They look quite similar."
But although my father’s story about ancient times is different from those told by Hanlin officials, the story itself is not interesting!
"Don't worry, everyone, the interesting part is coming soon!" Tian Lingzi introduced another interesting thing about Yan Junping.
