Chapter 216 Zhao Xujiu’s plan to occupy the magpie’s nest (8500 monthly votes
Additional updates)
This afternoon, in the Yanhe Bian Hall.
Sun Jue, the newly appointed lecturer, and Cheng Yi, the storyteller of Jiying Hall, bowed with fluorine in their hands: "I respectfully ask the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, may your Majesty the Emperor bow to you and be blessed!"
Zhao Xu sat on the throne and looked calmly at Sun Jue, who was wearing a purple robe and a long crotch, and looked like a neighbor's uncle.
Sun Jue is a very interesting person.
It seems reasonable to say that he is a member of the new party.
From Xining to Yuanfeng, no matter who the prime minister was on stage, no one felt sorry for him or even put him in a good position!
Wang Anshi even maintained a close correspondence with Sun Jue for a time - this was mainly because Wang Ling, Wang Anshi's brother-in-law and the great poet who died young, had visited Sun Jue and studied with Sun Jue, and then Wang Ling introduced him Sun Jue gives Wang Anshi!
That he is from the old party? That seems to be the same thing.
Look.
Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang all admired him.
His son-in-law was Huang Tingjian, one of the four scholars of the Su family.
Later, Qin Guan, one of the four scholars of the New Sumen, was also discovered by him!
He was simply Su Shi's great benefactor.
He continuously cultivated talents for Su Shi - whether Huang Tingjian or Qin Guan, Sun Jue took the initiative to recommend them to Su Shi.
In Zhao Xu's previous life, Sun Jue died very young, so he didn't have much memory.
In modern times, Zhao Xu only looked up some information on Sun Jue because he wanted to read a paper by Su Shi.
Then I was shocked!
How much favor did Su Shi give to Sun Jue in his previous life?
Let him provide talents without asking for anything in return in his life!
Until now, Zhao Xu still can't figure it out. He can only blame it on Su Bearded's personal charm being too high!
Looking away from Sun Jue, Zhao Xu saw the Cheng Yi who had taken the initiative to self-destruct in his previous life, letting Zhao Xu know that his every move was being monitored.
Cheng Yi is still young, in his early fifties, with dark hair under his head and a very handsome beard. His appearance fits the modern stereotype of teachers.
He looks very serious, the kind of middle-aged and elderly teacher who is unsmiling.
In modern times, Cheng Yi is most famous for his famous saying that was carried forward in the Ming and Qing Dynasties: Starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal!
However, Cheng Yi's words were addressed to the scholar-bureaucrats!
It has never been targeted at ordinary people, not even military officials and relatives!
Of course, Cheng Yi naturally had many limitations of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, this cannot be harsh on him.
Looking at these two ministers, Zhao Xu said softly: "I beg you!"
"Come here, give these two gentlemen a seat and some tea!"
Sun Jue and Cheng Yi thanked them again and sat on the chairs that had been moved.
Listening to the young master in the palace, he continued: "Unfortunately, the Huangkao Temple is on the verge of abandoning the world. I am a young warrior. Fortunately, I have been protected and supported by the loving saints of the two palaces. All my noble ministers will not give up their help!"
"I follow the example of the ancient kings, respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is the most important thing, and I am eager to learn and seek knowledge as my foundation!"
"Both gentlemen are great scholars in the country and famous people in the world. There must be someone who can teach me!"
"I would also like to ask you two gentlemen to give me your advice without hesitation! I should listen attentively, follow the good ones, and tolerate the bad ones!"
As Sun Jue and Cheng Yi listened, they had already expected the immature, yet steady and coherent voice of the young master in the palace.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked!
seeing is believing!
When I arrived at the palace, I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears the young master's announcement.
Especially the promise in the last sentence made both of them very excited!
Before coming, what they were most afraid of was that if the emperor said the wrong thing and made others unhappy, they might be punished!
Now, the young master personally promises that during the banquet, he can speak freely and will tolerate even if he is wrong!
Even if it was just a gesture of talk, it was enough to move the two of them.
So, the two people stood up quickly and bowed again: "Your Majesty is eager to learn and follow the Tao. I, my ministers, are dedicated to serving the country and the world will celebrate you!"
Looking at the two palaces behind the curtain, I was very satisfied.
Before they came today, they encouraged Zhao Xu to talk and communicate more with the officials.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager took the initiative and said inside the curtain: "Two beloved ministers, the officials are very eager to learn!"
"On weekdays, even if there is no scripture class, I often consult with Lao Shen and the Queen Mother on educational matters!"
"Now that I have the help of my two beloved ministers, Professor, I and the Queen Mother can feel relieved!"
"I wonder if you two dear ministers have any suggestions or advice regarding the studies and study of officials?"
"If you have any requests to make in the palace, I, the Queen Mother, and the officials will all listen with humility!"
Naturally, this is to pave the way for Cheng Yi.
Sun Jue just happened by the way.
However, as the minister, Sun Jue still had to express his stance first.
He held the fluorine in his hand and bowed: "I'm going to tell you about the kindness of the two palaces, your majesty... I heard that your majesty has read through the Spring and Autumn Annals, but I am not talented. Please present the "Spring and Autumn Classics Interpretation" that I wrote last year to present to the emperor for your majesty.
Reference for the four seasons, reading..."
Sun Jue is the most famous contemporary authority on Spring and Autumn Studies!
His book "Explanation of the Spring and Autumn Classics" even influenced the later Spring and Autumn Studies in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Zhao Xu said softly: "I will read the book you presented to me respectfully!"
In any case, this is an era when Confucianism is in power.
As an emperor, Zhao Xu must also cooperate with Confucianism and get what each wants - you can't turn against yourself, right?
How stupid that must be!
Therefore, Zhao Xu not only had to study and study Confucian classics such as Spring and Autumn Period in depth, but also needed to comprehend them thoroughly.
Fortunately, with the foundation laid in his previous life, Zhao Xu can already calmly deal with all issues related to Confucian classics.
While studying abroad in Modern Times, he took the time to read the collected works of Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming.
This is another good accumulation point.
That’s why he was able to repeatedly expound on ‘the saint’s subtle words and great meaning’!
Because he copied the expositions of Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and others, but processed them himself and expressed them in language acceptable to the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty!
Sun Jue bowed again and stepped back, and Cheng Yi had already bowed with the fluorine in his hand: "I'm going to tell you that the Cisheng of the Two Palaces, His Majesty the Emperor, my brother, the Cheng Yi Lang, and the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Cheng Hao, entrusted me with his painstaking work """ before his death.
The book "Knowing Benevolence" is presented to His Majesty..."
"I sincerely offer this book, and I hope your majesty will accept it!"
Zhao Xu then sighed and said: "Congratulations to Lang Cheng Hao, one of the great Confucian scholars in the world!"
"Governor Lu and Sima Gong have recommended me to me many times. They all said that among contemporary Confucian masters, there are very few who can rival Cheng Hao, and they are especially good at economics!"
"I have admired you for a long time. I would like to meet you in the palace and inquire about your knowledge and economics!"
"But God has lost a great scholar in our country. I am really sorry to hear this!"
"Now I agree with Lang Chenghao's masterpiece. I should read it carefully. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope you will give me some advice!"
When Cheng Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he bowed with great emotion: "On behalf of my deceased brother, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness!"
For Cheng Yi, nothing moved him more than hearing with his own ears that the young master praised his elder brother and his knowledge!
This is what scholar-bureaucrats like Er Cheng value most!
Learn martial arts and become an emperor!
The emperor's approval is equivalent to putting a best-selling label on one's family!
It is enough to attract scholars from all over the world to learn from it.
The orthodoxy will spread silently and quietly.
Thus, the name and reality of Confucianism took root!
Cheng Yi knew very well that what the young master said now in the palace was enough to greatly speed up the spread of the knowledge that their brothers had devoted their whole lives to!
At least it will save you fifty years of struggle!
"That's right!" Cheng Yizheng was so moved that he listened to the young master in the palace say: "Unfortunately, Mr. Cheng Hao passed away due to illness! I am deeply saddened! I remember that when Mr. Cheng Yi was still alive, he taught widely and accompanied talents deeply.
I specially skipped the feast to express my condolences!"
"At the same time, I also wrote four words to Gu Chengyilang privately!"
"Since you have arrived at the palace today, I will give these four words to you!"
"You can send it back to Luoyang, and with my wishes, it can be engraved on the Gucheng Yilang Shinto Monument!"
Cheng Yi trembled when he heard the moved voice: "Brother, I am so favored by Your Majesty... If there is a soul in heaven, I will be deeply grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness!"
This young master really respects his teachers!
My late brother passed away and I skipped the feast to express my condolences.
Now even more, a personal letter written by the emperor was given, inscribing the divine way!
This is the greatest honor of a scholar-bureaucrat!
It is the highest affirmation for a scholar-official’s intellectual articles!
So Cheng Yi bowed his head again excitedly.
Sun Jue, who was watching next to him, was also filled with excitement.
He is also a banquet official.
In the future, he should also have these honors, right?!
There will definitely be one!
At this time, the ministers in the palace had respectfully held the words written on a piece of paper written by the emperor's royal pen and presented them to Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi bowed respectfully before looking at the piece of paper.
Four regular regular scripts in Guange style came into view: Mr. Mingdao!
Cheng Yi almost burst into tears when he saw this!
I thank you again: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. I would like to express my gratitude to my deceased brother!"
But how could Cheng Yi know that this was something Zhao Xu had planned long ago!
First win Er Cheng’s trust and show him great kindness!
In this way, when he takes charge of the government in the future, Er Cheng's knowledge and thoughts will not be interpreted by him in any way he wants.
Especially Cheng Hao's thoughts and theories. When Zhao Xu used them to endorse his policies, would a traditional scholar-official like Cheng Yi, who regarded loyalty to the emperor as his life, be willing to refute?!
Definitely not!
As long as Zhao Xu didn't use it too deviantly, Cheng Yi would have even pinched his nose and endorsed Zhao Xu!
Ah, yes, yes!
This is what my late brother Cheng Hao thought!
This is the Jiuzhan Magpie Nest!
This is also a trick often played by modern listed companies.
I buy shares first, and then slowly take over the voice and shares. In the end, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine!
Cheng Yi didn't know this, so he was naturally grateful.
The two palaces are extremely happy and satisfied!
In their opinion, Zhao Xu's performance perfectly met the world's requirements for a wise king.
This is really embarrassing for the two palaces!
In the future history of history, the events of today will surely be recorded with thick ink and heavy writing!
And of course, I will not hesitate to praise them!
Especially the Empress Dowager, she was so happy that she couldn’t even open her mouth from ear to ear!
She now feels deeply that she is the Taisi of the Song Dynasty!
After King Wen, the mother of King Wu, and the ancestor of King Cheng!
If you think carefully about the character and behavior of the three emperors of the Song Dynasty, it is really like this!
Well, let’s first pay back the monthly pass for last month and this month’s pass plus more!
Let me pay back the 4,500 words I owed when I went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago!
