"I know it's the prince's division, but why can General Wang and Prime Minister Chen not dare to drive into the palace? Why can he drive in?" the guard asked, chasing Wei Junjian's footsteps.
"Because the distance between our palace gate and the Golden Palace was too long, he did not go to the morning court for two months, saying that he was too old to walk. The late emperor had no choice but to agree to allow him to drive a carriage into the palace. Later, the late emperor
You know, this Ming Yongshou can’t go to the morning court because he can’t walk!”
"Why is that?" the guard quickly asked.
"Because Ming Yongshou's groom wants to go into the palace to see what's inside!" Wei Junjian replied with his hands behind his back.
"Isn't he just a prince's tutor? Why did the late emperor indulge him so much?" the guard asked with some confusion.
"There are not many officials in Daliang who tell the truth, and Ming Yongshou is one of them."
…
There were not many officials wearing gongmian, and those who could drive a carriage directly to the Jinluan Hall were Ming Yongshou alone in the entire Daliang.
Ming Yongshou sat in the carriage and looked at the extremely luxurious palace. He smiled slightly and then said to the coachman: "Zhu Wen spent a lot of money to build this palace back then."
"Didn't you say that it cost more than half of the national treasury?" the groom replied with a smile.
"Haha, you know quite a lot."
"Master, you haven't been back for ten years, right?" The groom looked back at Ming Yongshou and asked.
"Well, it's been ten years. When I came back today, I saw that not much has changed." Ming Yongshou nodded slightly, then covered his eyes with his hands and squinted at the magnificent Jinluan Hall.
"Hello!" the groom pulled the reins and shouted, and then shouted to Ming Yongshou in the carriage: "Master, we are here!"
"Okay." Ming Yongshou agreed, and then slowly stepped out of the carriage.
When the groom shouted out this word, all the civil and military officials outside the Jinluan Palace turned their heads. Then Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu were the two who reacted the fastest. A name almost flashed in their minds, Prince Shi Ming Yongshou!
You must know that as early as when the late emperor was on the throne, the two of them could hear this call almost every day. The only person in Daliang who could drive this carriage to Jinluan was Ming Yongshou.
The carriage stopped in front of the Jinluan Palace, and the little eunuchs on both sides were all stunned. Because they didn't know who the saint was who dared to drive the carriage into the palace. Is it possible that they really don't want this head anymore?
At this time, a slightly older eunuch reacted and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Prince Master, come to the palace!"
"Prince Master, come to the palace!"
The other little eunuchs also shouted at the top of their lungs.
Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu smiled slightly after hearing the name, and then stopped in their tracks. After all, Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi both knew that although Ming Yongshou claimed the position of Prince Master, he still had another identity.
It is the post of Taiwei appointed by the late emperor. There are only three divisions and three public officials in the first-grade Liang Dynasty, but Ming Yongshou holds two positions alone, and among these three divisions, there are only three divisions.
The Duke needs to be awarded to the right person at the right time, and will not be replenished after the vacancy. In other words, even though Ming Yongshou has long since retired and returned to his hometown, the positions of Prince Master and Taiwei are still attached to them, and everyone in the world is interested in them.
They knew that the first civil servant in Daliang was Chen Xingxiu, and the first general was Wang Hongxi, but they didn't know that as long as the positions of three divisions, three public officials, and six positions were vacant, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should respect Ming Yongshou as their leader.
Although today's morning meeting was delayed for some time outside the palace gate, Ming Yongshou was still not late. The groom parked the carriage on the street in front of the Jinluan Palace, and then looked at the bustling palace leisurely. The groom did not envy the emperor in the palace. life, because in his heart, although the emperor's family is good, the palace is inevitably a little bigger and the human touch is inevitably a little less. Although his house is small, it is not as deserted as this palace. Although his ladies are not as good as the palace. The concubines are as beautiful as they are, but they are also virtuous and virtuous. At least they are not as delicate and sophisticated as the women in the harem. All in all, everything in the palace is excellent, but one thing is missing, that is, ordinary If there was more domestic flavor in this palace, then there would be no concubines saying, "But they are jealous of mediocrity and jealous, taking away my love and luck, renouncing me in the secluded palace. Missing the old joy." It’s so bad, I’m dreaming hazily.” He said helplessly.
Originally, when all officials entered the palace, General Wang Hongxi and Prime Minister Chen Xingxiu entered the palace shoulder to shoulder, and then all civil and military officials entered again one after another. Although the court did not put forward any explicit regulations on this matter, there was still no People dare to enter the palace before Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu. After all, there is a sequence of events, and officials are also divided into big and small. Everyone has a clear mind about their identity and status in the court. Just from entering the palace, It can be seen from this incident how much power Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi have. Even the princes of Daliang did not dare to walk in front of them. Wang Hongxi was at the front from the first morning court in Daliang. , while Chen Xingxiu walked from the back to the front step by step.
In fact, there is no such thing as a faction in Daliang's court now. If you really want to break it down, it's just the same two, one civilized and one military. Although they are a lot more harmonious on the surface, in the final analysis they are still not as close as one's own family. , so the people behind Wang Hongxi were all military generals, and the people behind Chen Xingxiu were all civil servants. It has been like this from the beginning, and it is not a big mess to this day. After all, it is easy to separate, but it is difficult to mix them up.
After seeing Mr. Ming get off the carriage, Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu stopped almost at the same time, and then stood at the door of the hall, waiting quietly for Mr. Ming. The two of them stopped, and the civil and military officials behind them naturally He also stopped. Even if he didn't know Mr. Ming, he stood quietly and waited. Daliang, the only one who could make all the civil and military officials of the dynasty stand waiting outside the palace. Besides the emperor, there was one other person, and that was Mr. Ming. .And Ming Yongshou seemed not to be able to see the civil and military officials outside the palace. He walked leisurely towards the front of the palace without any sense of hurry. After walking a few steps, he looked back at the palace and sighed. He muttered softly: "It's really grand." Then he ran towards the front of the palace. A distance that a normal person could walk in ten minutes. Mr. Ming walked for more than half an hour, and all the civil and military officials were waiting outside the palace. For more than half an hour, even though it was already the time for the morning court, Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi still did not enter the Jinluan Palace. Instead, they looked expressionlessly at the old man Ming who was running towards them step by step.
In the Jinluan Palace, the young emperor Zhu You looked at the zhezi in his hand, then frowned slightly and turned to look at the eunuch beside him and asked: "Why don't they go to the morning court? What are they waiting for outside? Is there iron flowers growing outside my Jinluan Palace?" "
"Back to the emperor, Prince Shi Ming Yongshou is here." The young eunuch beside Zhu You replied quickly.
"Who?" Zhu You was stunned for a moment.
"Ming Yongshou."
"Confused!" Zhu You stared and cursed, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted: "I'm confused, I'm confused."
"Teacher is here, why did you tell me?" Zhu You looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground and scolded him, then directly threw the book in his hand on the bookcase in front of the dragon chair, and then ran without caring about the image.
He rushed out of Jinluan Palace.
"emperor."
Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu shouted quickly after seeing Zhu You.
Zhu You seemed not to have heard anything. He stood at the door of the Jinluan Hall and looked at the old man who was running towards the door of the hall step by step. He was silent for a moment, and then ran directly towards Ming Yongshou. After the civil and military officials saw this scene,
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The emperor actually came out to greet him. How big is this?
Face? Those newcomers who didn’t know Ming Yongshou even suspected that this old man was a god sent by God. He could actually make the emperor, who was the emperor, so interested in him. All the civil and military officials could wait for him outside, but the emperor actually came out in person.
Welcome, you know, there has never been anyone in Daliang who was personally greeted by the emperor in the morning.
When Mr. Ming saw Emperor Zhu You, he smiled slightly with his hands behind his back and did not kneel down, because the late emperor had said that all the courtesy of Ming Yongshou would be waived.
Ming Yongshou's etiquette was completely exempted, but Emperor Zhu You's etiquette was not exempted. Zhu You looked at his teacher and smiled slightly, then he bowed to Ming Yongshou respectfully and shouted softly: "
Students see the teacher."
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not your teacher now." Ming Yongshou stretched out his hand to support Zhu You and replied with a smile.
In Ming Yongshou's eyes, Zhu You's gesture of saluting and the tone of his words were as youthful. You must know that when he was a child, because Zhu You didn't salute Ming Yongshou, Zhu You got slapped.
He was afraid, so whenever he saw Ming Yongshou, he had to salute. No matter he was the prince or the emperor, Ming Yongshou would always be his teacher, his student for three years, and his lifelong respect.
After seeing Zhu You salute, all civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground, including Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu. All the officials knelt for Zhu You, but Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu knelt for Mr. Ming.
In this way, Zhu You supported Ming Yongshou and slowly walked towards the Jinluan Palace. On both sides of the two people were hundreds of civil and military officials who could not kneel down. At this time, there seemed to be no civil and military officials in the long and invisible square outside the Jinluan Palace.
Among all the officials, only one student quietly supported his teacher.
The seemingly homely sentence "Teacher is in good health today", that sentence is quite strong, although the voice is not loud, but it clearly falls in the ears of civil and military officials. It seems that no one can make the little emperor speak like this, except for those in the harem.
Apart from Empress Dowager Xue, there was only the old man in front of him. He respected his teachers and respected his teachings. Even the emperor, Zhu You, did not dare to forget his roots.
…
Today's morning meeting was more than an hour late because of one person. After entering the Jinluan Palace, Zhu You directly asked someone to carry a chair to Ming Yongshou. The young eunuch very wisely placed the chair in front of Wang Hongxi and Chen Xingxiu.
And the two of them also consciously gave way to Mr. Ming.
After leaving his seat, Ming Yongshou looked at the chair and smiled, and then sat down in front of the officials without hesitation, ranking first. As for the officials behind Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi, the emperor came out to pick them up in person, not to mention sitting on the table.
After court, even if you are lying down, you can't complain.
Originally, Zhu You wanted to have a good chat with these ministers about corruption today, and he had prepared a list in advance. Today's Jinluan Palace was supposed to be a day of endless grievances, but because of the appearance of Ming Yongshou, Emperor Zhu You made the preparations in advance.
He put away the good papers, then looked at Ming Yongshou and asked: "Prince Master has nothing to say in court today, right?"
Ming Yongshou stood up slowly and then looked at the civil and military officials in the dynasty. Those officials who knew Mr. Ming also looked at Ming Yongshou with trepidation, because everyone knew that when Mr. Ming came, he would definitely curse people. As expected, Ming Ming
Yongshou searched among the crowd for a long time, and finally shouted loudly: "Where is the Imperial Academy's Imperial Concubine's sacrificial wine?"
"I'm here." A middle-aged man in his late fifties walked out of the crowd with sweating profusely.
"Where is the official secretary?" Ming Yongshou then shouted.
"I'm here." Another official in official uniform walked out of the crowd.
"Where is the official who was admonished by Hanlin?"
"I'm here." This is the third person who came out.
Ming Yongshou looked at these three people and snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly: "Where is the minister's order?"
Chen Xingxiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wang Hongxi smiled at Chen Xingxiu. Chen Xingxiu shook his head helplessly, then took a step forward and shouted to Zhu You on the dragon chair: "I am here."
Zhu You, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at his teacher and the ministers who came out of the crowd with a smile, and asked softly: "Prince Master, why did you call them out?"
Ming Yongshou looked at Emperor Zhu You on the dragon chair, then at the four people around him, and then slowly walked to Guozi Jijiu. Guozi Jijiu looked at Mr. Ming tremblingly,
It doesn't matter whether I don't speak or not. I can only let the beads of sweat on my forehead stay down my cheeks.
"Have you ever read "The Outline of the Wooden Sutra"?" Ming Yongshou asked while looking at Guozi's sacrificial wine.
"I've seen it." Guozi Jijiu agreed quickly.
"What do you think of my book?" Ming Yongshou asked next.
“Excellent.”
"Haha." Ming Yongshou smiled while looking at Guozi's wine sacrifice, then walked up to the Minister of Libu with his hands behind his back, then looked at the Minister of Libu and asked, "Have you seen it?"
"See it."
"What do you think?"
“Excellent.”
"Then you have also read it? You have not read this book, in charge of admissions to the Hanlin Academy, right?" Ming Yongshou asked as he looked at the Hanlin admonishment doctor.
"I've seen it." Hanlin admonished the doctor and nodded quickly.
"Haha, it seems I've seen them all."
Ming Yongshou smiled helplessly, and then turned around twice with his hands behind his back. All the civil and military officials in the court looked at this old man Ming. No one knew what Mr. Ming wanted to do.
Originally, going to court in the morning was already a frightening event for the officials in Daliang. Especially when going to court today, people are even more panic-stricken. Everyone knows that the little emperor may have to do something big today, so he hasn't gone to court yet.
The hearts of this group of people were already in their throats, but who knew that Mr. Ming would come out halfway, and this Mr. Ming was even more invisible, especially the four people who were called out, no one knew
What exactly does Mr. Ming want to do now? Even Chen Xingxiu doesn't know. What happened to this "Outline of the Wooden Scripture" can actually make Mr. Ming mobilize so many troops to rush from Le'an City to Chang'an. Could it be that the achievement is for
I want to ask if we have read this book? But after all, he is the first prime minister of the dynasty. Chen Xingxiu is somewhat courageous. He looks at Ming Yongshou expressionlessly, not at all as timid as the other three.
.
Ming Yongshou looked at the three people including the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, the Minister of Wine, the Minister of Liquor Affairs, and the Doctor Hanlin and snorted heavily. Then he walked up to Chen Xingxiu, looked at Chen Xingxiu and asked, "Are these three people under your charge?
"
"Yes." Chen Xingxiu nodded slightly.
"The three of them made a mistake, are you responsible?" Ming Yongshou then asked.
"have."
"I won't scold the three of them today, but I will scold you alone. Do you have any objection?"
"No." Chen Xingxiu shook his head.
"good."
Ming Yongshou nodded slightly, and he still admired Chen Xingxiu's courage in his heart. Others may not know it, but Ming Yongshou knew that Chen Xingxiu's life was not easy. Although it seemed that he was rising steadily, but when the late emperor was in power,
At that time, Chen Xingxiu was not the current Chen Xingxiu, but just a small county official. At that time, Chen Xingxiu could really be described in eight words, that is, he was a breeze with two sleeves, extremely honest. How honest was he? It is said that Chen Xingxiu was incorruptible at that time.
My wife once went to a flower restaurant to sing songs with wine for the rice in the rice vat. The dignified wife of a county official actually went to the restaurant to accompany the guests to sing songs. Although she was performing arts and not selling herself, it still doesn’t sound good after all. Although
The previous dynasty had
There have been cases where the daughter of an official starved to death. Such a thing was a big joke in the eyes of those corrupt officials, but in the eyes of the honest officials in Daliang, it was really helpless. How many people can do what Chen Xingxiu did back then?
There are only a handful of them, very few.
Later, Chen Xingxiu had a hard time. He was supported by his mentor and slowly appeared in this court. However, after entering this court, although Chen Xingxiu's wife did not go to the restaurant to sing, her days were also short.
How good it is, because Chen Xingxiu's temperament is very similar to Ming Yongshou. He has clear edges and corners, black is black and white is white. In recent years, Chen Xingxiu has only learned what tact is, but Chen Xingxiu who first entered the court is absolutely
The ____ does not work
To describe it as smooth, Chen Xingxiu did offend a lot of people at that time and was ostracized. Therefore, he was a junior doctor of the sixth grade of Taixue for five years, and it was only later that he was appreciated by the late emperor.
, and thus rose to prominence. In Ming Yongshou's eyes, Chen Xingxiu seemed to be his former self, because there were so many similarities between the two people, but Chen Xingxiu had one more thing than Ming Yongshou, and that was
