Chapter 156 Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate

At this time, Shen Lie looked at the resentful young man Wan Li, and couldn't help but think of those big pigtail scenes he had filmed.

In the play, the Manchu emperors took their families to Chengde to escape the heat when the hot summer arrived. For this purpose, the large-scale Chengde Summer Resort was specially built in Chengde.

Later, it became a famous tourist attraction, but the civil and military officials of the entire court did not even dare to fart.

That's a slave!

How dare a slave say no to his master?

But why did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty become a coward because he wanted to live in Xiyuan? It was probably because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too gentle towards scholars and was too easy to bully.

Although that is what is said.

But Shen Lie instinctively felt that something was inappropriate. He was silent for a long time before cautiously reminding him: "The Grand Master, the Queen Mother, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Palace will not agree."

Thinking of the saliva that the ministers were about to spray, Shen Lie couldn't help but become worried.

You can tell this as soon as you think about it.

At that time, Emperor Wuzong wanted to build the Xiyuan Garden so that he could have a place to escape the heat and live in a more spacious place. However, the Ming cabinet and the Qing gossip officials made a fuss about it.

What kind of stupid king is harming the country? The country is going to perish...

Various versions of rumors were even fabricated because of this.

It was a royal garden with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it became a devil's nest for literati to abuse women from good families. Isn't this nonsense?

Seeing that Shen Lie was worried, Zhu Yijun disapproved and said: "My mother cares about me, so she won't stop me, but..."

As he said this, he let out a cold snort, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Presumably, the cabinet headed by Zhang Juzheng would not agree.

"I am not a martial artist!"

The young emperor's stubborn temper rose again, and he looked at Shen Lie intently, and asked as if to vent his anger: "Do you think I was wrong?"

Facing the emperor's intimidating and scorching gaze, Shen Lie said calmly: "The emperor is right."

When he said this, Shen Lie meant it sincerely, so his eyes were extraordinarily magnanimous, and naturally he also added some acting skills that he had been single for many years.

Shen Lie said softly: "Living in the palace in the summer is really depressing."

It ends up being shallow when read on paper.

It was at this time that Shen Lie became even more convinced that the history of the Ming Dynasty was nonsense, and that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really miserable. He couldn't even decide on such a trivial matter as where he lived.

The emperor dislikes the heat in the palace in summer and wants to live by the lake. What will this hinder?

That bunch of civil servants really went too far.

Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Lie's magnanimous expression and seemed to have received great recognition. He smiled freely and said: "I want to move out. If anyone dares to object, I... hum!"

Seeing the coldness in the young emperor's eyes, as if he wanted to kill the whole family, Shen Lie started beating the drum again in his heart, thinking that it was all over now.

The emperor and the grand master are about to quarrel again.

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Lie's mind, but he quickly said with certainty: "Your Majesty is wise!"

He knew that he must not sway at this time. As a little shrimp who accidentally got involved in court disputes, the most important thing was to stand in line.

Stand firm and don’t waver!

There will be no good results if the head and the rat are at both ends.

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun became happy and drank a lot of herbal tea. It seemed that he had rested enough, so he picked up the eyebrow knife and walked out.

After the young emperor got on his horse, he held the knife in one hand and the reins in the other, and smiled at Shen Lie: "Come, ride with me!"

Shen Lie quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "The common people obey the decree."

Soon, a Dongchang stall brought a sturdy maroon war horse, and handed the reins to Shen Lie's hands. He looked at the horse's long four hooves, streamlined and strong lines, and no trace of color on its body.

Shen Lie's spirit was lifted and he couldn't help but praise: "What a horse!"

The Dongchang stall owner hurriedly flattered him by saying, "Master Shen has a good eye... This is a bloody horse from the Western Regions."

This is nonsense.

Could the horse taken out of the Royal Horse Prison be a bad horse?

At this time, Zhu Yijun was already impatient with waiting, so he turned his body sideways and said jokingly: "This sweaty horse has a very fierce temper, can you do it?"

Shen Lie's face darkened, what did he mean by saying this?

Zhu Yijun smiled even more wildly: "If you can't do it, just wait on the side. If you fall out, I'm afraid that Miss Zhang, the most beautiful woman in the capital, won't know how to scold me behind my back."

Look at the playful look on the emperor's face.

Shen Lie was secretly surprised in his heart, but smiled on his face, thinking that the sweaty horse was actually a high-quality war horse produced in the alpine regions of Central Asia.

He didn't want to be looked down upon, so he showed off his good skills as a first-class stuntman, took a step back in full view, lightly touched the ground with his toes, then turned over and rode up.

"Herod."

The war horse neighed and tried to throw Shen Lie off.

But Shen Lie is also someone who has practiced riding skills very hard. Among the martial arts stuntmen in Hengdian, his riding skills are first-rate, not much worse than those professional riders in the Olympic Games.

In addition, his bottom plate is solid, so no matter how the violent Central Asian war horse kicks, he can still sit as firmly as a rock.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

The guards shouted "Hello", and Shen Lie also shouted: "Enough... drive!"

Several shouts.

As the rumble of horse hoofs sounded again in Xiyuan, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who aspired to be the emperor on horseback, galloped on horseback under the scorching sun, sweating.

Separated by a wall.

The Wenhua Hall on the inner side of the Meridian Gate.

In silence.

One by one, some older or younger Hanlin bachelors were walking in and out of the hall with piles of official documents in their arms.

What kind of official is Hanlin?

Clear and noble.

The Hanlin Academy was established as early as the early Tang Dynasty by Li Shimin, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was originally a secretarial organization established to assist the prime minister.

However, the function of the Hanlin Academy was strengthened to the extreme during the Ming Dynasty. As long as a scholar could pass the imperial examination and enter the Hanlin Academy, it would be equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

You will have an extremely splendid and distinguished life next.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy was the emperor and the most important institution for cabinet decision-making, equivalent to the think tank of later generations.

As the saying goes, "The victory of Hanlin was unprecedented in previous generations."

Why was the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty so noble?

This starts with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, as in all dynasties, there was the position of prime minister.

The infamous Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The prime minister is equivalent to the deputy emperor. He has all the power in the court and helps the emperor manage the entire country. But there is a problem.

Who was Zhu Yuanzhang? He had an extremely strong personality and was a man of his word. After he experimented with the prime minister system, he felt that this system was not good, and he personally abolished the position of prime minister.

Why?

Anyone who can be the prime minister in this world will naturally not be a fool, nor will he be a loser who is willing to submit to others.

The most famous prime minister in history is naturally the famous Prime Minister Cao Cao...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was inconvenient to have a prime minister in the court, so he had the then prime minister Hu Weiyong killed after a disagreement.

Then the Emperor Taizu began to monopolize power, taking advantage of his good health and strong energy to handle everything big and small.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang received more than 1,600 official documents in the eight days from September 14th to 21st in the 17th year of Hongwu alone, totaling more than 3,300 matters.
