"... When the late emperor was still alive, he once refuted the so-called scholarly ethos, such as the idea that gentlemen are a group but not a party. How many people can really be a group but not a party! In the end, it is nothing more than the party being the same as the enemy, the court being in chaos, and the ministers not doing their jobs properly.
."
The emperor's condolences to the new scholars turned into instructions. A needle could be heard in the hall, and only the calm voice of the emperor above could be heard: "I know which of the ministers in the court is upright and diligent. For example, Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of the capital, and his son
Zhao Fengzhao and the Galli party embezzled tens of thousands of taels, which is a disaster for both!"
"I have imprisoned Zhao Fengzhao, and we must severely punish these people. His father Shen Qiao was a veteran of two dynasties," Yindi picked up a memorial in his hand, "but he was able to kill his relatives righteously. Please ask me to severely punish Zhao Fengzhao. And Zhao Fengzhao."
Fengzhao and Gali once peeked into the palace and behaved inappropriately!"
"Shen Qiao is fair, diligent, honest and self-responsible, and has the style of an ancient gentleman. His sons Yan Zhao and Xiong Zhao are good people, and their articles are very good. Only Feng Zhao humiliates their family. It can be seen that he does not pay attention to self-cultivation and moral cultivation.
For this reason, it has nothing to do with the Zhao family."
"Zhao Shenqiao has been in the government for decades and has won many praises from the late emperor. I cannot betray my loyal ministers. Zhao Shenqiao was promoted to the imperial censor of Zuodu and was given the title of Zhizhengdafu! His son Xiong Zhao was admitted to the common people and was compiled by Hanlin.
!”
"I, Zhao Shenqiao, Zhao Xiongzhao, thank you for your grace!"
When the Zhao father and son came out to express gratitude, everyone around them was envious, but only they themselves knew how the Zhao father and son felt inside.
"Okay, I have finished what I have to say. You should also respect yourself, cherish yourselves, and don't let me down." Yindi concluded, and the ceremony officer received the signal. When the emperor finished speaking, the ceremony officer silently recited two numbers.
Then he shouted loudly: Thank you for being the number one scholar!
When the roll call was announced before, Sun Jiagan shivered once and calmed down to ensure that he was not out of tune. Wang Shichen also started to tremble at this moment, and his legs were a bit confused as to how to walk. He walked out of the station like a wooden man.
In the main hall, he was still worried that his voice was not loud enough, so he said loudly: "I will give you the first-class scholar Wang Shichen and others. I am afraid that I will bow my head a hundred times..."
The No. 1 Scholar has a bright voice, and Yin Ti is a little distracted. The No. 1 Scholar's appearance is all official prose. The so-called "Four-Liu Parallel Column, Jinxin Xiu Mou, Shen Yu Zhen in the Palace, Sheng Huang Tentacles." It means four or six Parallel Prose.
Yinti waved his hands inconspicuously on the throne. Qin Ji, the eunuch in charge who had been standing beside him, leaned over. The emperor whispered: "You can go to Kuixu later and ask. I remember, is Dai Mingshi also attending?"
Did you pass the science test?"
"Hey, I remember, I asked Kui Xu about Dai Mingshi."
After the new Jinshis are presented to the saints, the first three people will go out to parade on horseback, and the rest will quit repairing. Later in the evening, Qionglin will give a banquet.
And when the emperor appeared at the Qionglin Banquet, he was not sitting on the throne with his body covered with "glorious splendor" like that in the early morning. At this time, the emperor only wore a black robe embroidered with gold, no hat, and brought his nephew with him.
They appeared at the Qionglin Banquet.
With a smile on his face, Yinti raised his wine glass and said, "You don't have to be frightened. Otherwise, I won't be a spoiler."
After all the new scholars thanked them and sat down, they heard the emperor say: "Qionglin banquets often include imperial poems, but I am really not good at this, so I can only draft one to see how you can show off your talents."
The attention of the new scholars was drawn to the exhibition by the emperor. The emperor also asked people to record the poems of more than a hundred Jinshi present, and he took advantage of this time to quietly leave the venue, taking one person with him.
"Dai Mingshi, why do you look gloomy?" The emperor looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest and said, "Your ranking is No. 2-67, which is not bad."
There are only seventy-two people in the second class, and then there are about 20 people in the third class. This ranking is at the bottom. Dai Mingshi was conceited and talented, but it was just that he failed in the imperial examination. Finally, when he was proud and proud, he was actually the
Twenty-seven...this is not normal!
If it weren't for the ranking in the imperial examination, Dai Mingshi would probably have shouted at the top of his lungs: Someone must have cheated! The examiner has been bribed!
However, when the examiner of this exam was right in front of him, Dai Mingshi, who always prided himself on his integrity, immediately knelt down. Then he lowered his hands and responded: "I am scared, I..."
"Well, I have passed the Jinshi examination, so I should be happy." The emperor said with a subtle smile: "I have read your Nanshan Collection."
"..." Dai Mingshi suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor. This was a great disgrace in front of the emperor, but now Dai Mingshi could no longer care about it. He opened his mouth and looked at the man opposite him who was much younger than him.
The man pursed his lips, but could not speak.
"Don't be nervous." Yinti smiled: "If I had wanted to do something, I wouldn't have called you, a great talent, here. Do you know where this is?"
"Wei, Weichen doesn't know." Dai Mingshi didn't even dare to raise his head. He had never entered the palace before, and he didn't dare to look around when he followed him. Now that the sky was dim, he only knew that he was walking from the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.
I was asked to leave, and then I seemed to be walking north, then turned a corner.
"This is the Zhaoren Hall. Opposite is the Hongde Hall, which is where the princes and clan members study." The emperor changed his tone and said in a cold tone, "This is the place where Chongzhen killed Princess Zhaoren."
Dai Mingshi buried his head lower. If there was a gap in the floor tiles, he might be able to get in now. What was written in Nanshan Collection entered Dai Mingshi's mind word by word.
This is equivalent to a well-known scholar who has clearly stated in his book that "this dynasty is not orthodox" and secretly talked about it, but was caught by the emperor and confronted in person. This is obviously not a fun thing.
Dai Mingshi needs his backbone, but he also needs his life, or in other words, he needs his life more. The lives of hundreds of people in his Dai family depend on how he handles it now.
"I, when I was young and wild and rebellious, I didn't know what to say, so I wrote those articles in a moment of confusion." Dai Mingshi defended himself: "Later, one of my students said that I wanted to compile a book, and I didn't think much about it, so...
"
"In short, I was confused for a moment, confused for a moment!"
"I don't plan to kill anyone, so you don't have to be so nervous." Yinti smiled and said, "I also plan to let you enter the Wuying Palace. Chen Pengnian knows, right? He is also there. I plan to let you and some other people compile books and edit books.
A novel about a barnyard official."
"From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of the previous dynasty to the present, I hope that this book can be used as a reference to the unofficial history of officials, but if it involves important military and political orders, it must be compiled truthfully." As a so-called non-fiction novel, Yinti hopes that this set of books can be used as a popular book
Books that are easy to understand but basically accurate will, of course, have certain biases.
"Your Majesty, then, at the end of the previous dynasty and at the beginning of this dynasty, there were some things..." There were so many sensitive events, and Dai Mingshi wanted to struggle for himself. This job might not be easy to handle.
Yinti sighed: "If you were asked to write about the Three Kingdoms, would you write about Cao Cao massacring Xu? Or Cheng Yu eating human breasts? Write them all down. Start writing from the Spring and Autumn Period, killing hundreds of thousands, and destroying the city.
Looting, no one is missing. In the National History Museum, there are also changes in dynasties in the past dynasties, and you also write down the population losses caused by wars, killings, famine and diseases."
Generally speaking, before mankind entered the mid-twentieth century, all ancient dynasties and countries in the modern capital accumulation period were basically competitions, but some could make people have a higher psychological bottom line, and they would not really starve to death.
It’s unclear whether the resentment-talking talk is true or false. Some of the garbage behaviors that make people have a low psychological bottom line and fluctuate up and down the level are unacceptable.
Rather than creating a hell of a text inquisition, it’s better to find another way. Human beings are naturally interested in stories, and no one wants to look at boring data charts, but interesting yet serious stories can attract interest in reading and exploration**.
And official things are naturally unflattering. In this case, let a group of official literati compile unserious novels to guide public opinion. Serious scholars, especially academics, will not like to do this.
But who makes Dai Mingshi not want to die but want to live? He must accept the olive branch extended by the emperor.
"Dai Mingshi, don't let me down, work hard."
Dai Mingshi, a new scholar and well-known scholar, left the Qianqing Palace in despair at this moment, and was sent back to the Baohe Palace by the eunuch. Of course, Yinti didn't know that, he inadvertently avoided what would have happened, and Zhao Shenqiao did it for himself
His son Xiong Zhao, the champion, went to report Dai Mingshi's slander against the imperial court.
He was sitting in Zhaoren Hall and suddenly said with a smile: "Come out quickly, don't worry about holding it in behind the bookshelf."
"Amma!"
Zhaoren Hall was converted into a study room by Yinti. Children could come here to borrow books and read. Su Rige didn’t have to see the new Jinshi, so he came to Zhaoren Hall. Yinti had already noticed that she was here, but he didn’t call.
People clear the place.
"What are you reading?" The smile on the emperor's face was different from the hypocritical one just now, but a smile of concern. He looked at the book his daughter held up, which was the Nanhua Sutra. "Are you interested in Zhuangzi?"
"Recently, the master was talking about the academics of the previous dynasties and the beginnings of the academics of this dynasty. My daughter was annoyed when she heard it, and she thought of Zhuangzi." Su Rige sighed, "Amma, can't I not take this kind of class?"
This kid really looks like me, Yinti thought to himself, he is not an academic material. Yinti pays attention to the atmosphere of scholars, including the so-called Qing Confucian scholarship, completely out of utilitarian considerations, and has nothing to do with academics.
No.
"If you don't like it, don't go. Amma wants to invite the Queen Mother to take the lead in compiling the book. Your mother-in-law will also choose her life wife to come forward to compile the book to show the royal family's intention to re-educate. Well, you don't have to go to class on weekdays. You have time.
If so, why not help your mother run errands and visit Wuying Palace more often."
"Anyway, Chen Pengnian and the others have also given you lessons. Finally, there is a teacher-student relationship. They are also older, so they don't have to avoid so many things." The emperor looked at his daughter with a smile, but saw that Su Rige had something to say.
Like, "What, what do you want to say?"
"...No!" Su Rige pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, my daughter, Ama!"
Da Gege actually wanted to ask if she was going to get married when she went to Chengde this year. However, looking at the book in her hand and thinking about her father's instructions just now, Su Rige felt that there was no need to ask and just let nature take its course. Anyway, she didn't want to.
Will suffer a loss.
When children are older, they won't tell their parents everything. Yinti was very considerate and did not ask further questions. Instead, he suddenly thought: "It seems that I have never seen you reading any novels about barnyard officials. Are you not interested in these?"
"..." Su Rige suddenly wanted to thank the dim light of the evening and the dim lights nearby, which made her face less conspicuous. She cleared her throat: "Daughter, I... have also seen it, but I am not very interested.
."
"Then there are those who are interested?" Yinti said, waving his daughter to his side, and then told the eunuch: "I and Da Gege will take a walk. Someone from Baohe Hall will send a message, and I will go over again."
The father and daughter did not have such leisure for some days, so they took a walk quietly. For a while, neither of them spoke, just listening to the crickets gradually starting to chirp in the palace.
"Spring is coming, and Qian'er Hong Yao asked if he could take Hong Tan to catch crickets." Su Rige smiled and told Amma interesting stories about the little brothers, "Eniang allowed them to go out, but Hong Yao
He was running very fast, but Hongzhen was not able to speak clearly, so he ran in a hurry, and finally fell off his horse."
"My daughter also likes the novels about barnyard officials, but the stories in them are a bit awkward."
Su Rige seemed to have returned to his childhood, complaining to his father, "It's either that she stayed in the cold kiln, or that Miss Qianjin fell in love with a man when she saw him. Like the former Feng Menglong, Ling Shuchu's three-word two-shot was pretty good."
Oh, so this child likes short stories, the kind that warn the world. Yinti nodded: "Don't you like stories like Li Jing Hongfu?"
"Of course I like heroes and heroines, but there are so few stories like that." Su Rige sighed: "In the popular novels about barnyard officials, even women like Du Shiniang are rare." Da Gege really lacks things like mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Feel the same.
On a larger scale, this problem is that each generation in feudal society is not as good as the last, and the spirit is not as good as in the past, and the overall malaise. On a smaller scale, it is a problem of the imperial court, even though it is just a novel. But novels have a great influence, so if you don’t believe it, read Romance of the Three Kingdoms
.
Scholar-officials often despise novels. In fact, they also write them themselves, but they always feel that it is not as good as writing classics and reading history. But Yinti doesn’t think so. Most people will not read the commentaries on the Thirteen Classics because it is of no use to them.
, and meaningless. The most serious entertainment products that most people like to see are works like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which vividly show a period of history.
From this perspective, the imperial court should guide the development in this area, introduce the old and bring out the new, so that everyone can have fun.
The emperor fell into deep thought, and Da Gege followed him to the vicinity of the Yangxin Hall. Su Rige said: "Amma, will my daughter go to the Yangxin Hall to pay her respects to E Niang?"
"What's wrong with this? Go ahead." Yinti waved his hand, "I'm just here to help your mother think about where to start compiling a book. I want to test you."
In the Hall of Baohe, the new Jinshi was still busy composing poems. Watching the recorder write down his poems, he somewhat longed for himself to be valued by the emperor and soar to the sky.
Dai Mingshi went out and came back without attracting much attention, and even if someone saw it, they would not talk too much on this occasion. Besides, Dai Mingshi is indeed a bit crazy, except for the friends he made in his early years and the people he later accepted.
There are not many students who can get along with others.
No one cared about Lao Dai. He stood on the outskirts of the banquet in Baohe Hall, his heart felt cold. When he turned around, he felt that the moon hanging far away outside was pale and pale. His great reputation in life will be destroyed today.
...Oh, Your Majesty, this Emperor is really...
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials are waiting to welcome him!"
Following the courtesy officer's voice, the smiling emperor walked in and asked with a smile: "How is the poem written?" He glanced at Dai Mingshi through the crowd. Yinti did not intend to create a literary prison, he needed Dai Mingshi
A man like Shi Shi, who seems to have a lot of integrity and a "history of dissent" came to help him, but Nanshan Collection also had to have an explanation.
This is not just about Dai Mingshi, it is also about the foundation of the imperial court. Yinti cannot let Jingqi-his current base feel that the emperor wants to get rid of them. How to avoid the important and ignore it easily, Yinti already has a rough idea in his mind
idea.
"In the past, the number of years for Jinshi to become Shujishi was not fixed. I think there should be a fixed rule for matters such as the dispersal of Shujishi."
The emperor looked at the poems of the Jinshi and said with a smile: "If the period of three years is not long, there is no need to take an examination. All new Jinshi are common people. They will only be awarded official positions based on the examination when the three-year period is over.
What do you think?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
The most popular ones are the second-class and third-class Jinshi. You must know that those who are promoted through the imperial examination, if they enter the cabinet without having done a Hanlin, they always feel that something is missing and their resume is not glorious. But if you want to be a Hanlin, you must take the exam.
Enter the common people.
Now there is no need to take the exam. As long as everyone becomes a Jinshi, they will automatically become a Shujishi. They will study and observe politics for three years. When they come out, they will take the exam to determine their future. This means that those whose grades were not impressive before have a chance to make a comeback.
Chance.
This is a great joy from heaven. The emperor sympathizes with them. It’s time for the salted fish in the Jinshi to stand up!
"However, according to the usual practice, in order to commend the scholars, the first-class Jinshi is still awarded the position of Hanlin editor and other positions, and they can take up the duties after the academy is dismissed." After all, if you get the top prize, the second prize, or the top prize, you still have to give the commendation that should be given.
The palace examination was the first major event after the end of the late emperor's filial piety period, followed by the title of empress dowager, empress dowager, and empress. Previously, the decree was only given verbally, but the awarding of treasures still required a formal ceremony.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have the title of emblem, which is to choose a good word for the grandmother and use it by the mother. For example, Empress Xiaozhuang was called the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, and later became the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, and is now the Empress Dowager.
To be called the Empress Dowager Renxian, now we have to add more characters.
The empress dowager's emblem was given by Kangxi. Even if the word "Yinti" is added, the usual title is still the empress dowager Renxian. What needs to be carefully considered is the emblem of the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager. The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy studied the details for a long time, and finally sent a
Good word for plate.
Finally, the emperor chose the word "Chongshou", which means wishing his mother a long life and good health.
What is more exciting than conferring the title on the Queen Mother is the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen. At the same time, there is also a question in front of Yinti: Do you want to be crowned a prince?
