When He Fengsheng and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. This was a meeting in the Wenhua Palace. Why did the emperor let the palace maids sing here?
But this idea is just a thought.
The emperor is the greatest. If he wants people to sing here, then just sing!
I just hope it doesn’t take too long and I have to go back to discuss revising the "Da Ming Law"!
Most people thought so and waited quietly.
Chen Yuanyuan received the emperor's signal and looked at the large group of scarlet robes in front of her, feeling a little timid in her heart.
However, she quickly adjusted her mentality. After walking forward, she felt blessed and then started singing.
Several songs that had been sung to Emperor Chongzhen began to ring in the Wenhua Hall.
This kind of humming method has never been heard by the people present, even if they are very knowledgeable.
The lyrics are easy to understand and the melody is catchy. As long as you listen to it once, you can basically hum along with it!
The people present were all fine people. As soon as they heard these songs, they understood why the emperor asked him to sing songs in the Wenhua Hall.
After Chen Yuanyuan finished singing, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the ministers below and asked them: "What do you think of these songs?"
These songs all teach people to be loyal and patriotic, civil servants do not love money, generals do not hesitate to die, paying taxes is a matter of course, and so on, these are all truths, who dares to say anything wrong?
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen asked the question, He Fengsheng, the chief minister as the head of the hundred officials, quickly responded: "Your Majesty, these songs are fresh to listen to and sung extremely well."
Everyone else also agreed, and no one dared to say anything bad.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was not very satisfied after hearing this.
So, he took a quick glance at the queue of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Wang Chengen, who had been silent for a long time, received the signal and immediately started playing without Emperor Chongzhen's explanation in advance: "Your Majesty, these songs all sing the most basic principles. I thought that someone in the court had forgotten these basic principles.
The truth is, it’s better to let everyone know how to sing. Civil servants should sing what civilian officials sing, and military generals should sing what military commanders sing. Let everyone remember this at all times. This truth cannot be forgotten!"
He Fengsheng and others couldn't help but feel a little stunned after hearing this. They turned to look at Wang Chengen, thinking that they probably wanted to eat Wang Chengen.
However, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "Civil officials don't love money, and military generals are willing to die, so why worry about the world being unstable? In recent years, the world has been in chaos, but some people, no, many people have forgotten this basic principle.
The truth. I think Wang Daban’s words are very reasonable, and it’s accurate!”
"..." When He Fengsheng and others heard this, they were a little dumbfounded.
This Wang Chengen, even if he just flatters himself, still does something like this, what's going on?
Ni Yuanlu thought about it, so she went out of the queue first and played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think these tunes are a bit strange, crude and superficial, and they don't match any tunes. If all the princes in the court have to sing this kind of tune, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
What a loss of elegance!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Liu Zongzhou listened and followed suit and said, "Who doesn't understand these simple principles, and who doesn't? All civil and military officials can sing, so there is no need. Anyone who doesn't abide by them will naturally have a slight problem.
The minister is watching, impeach him!"
After Zuo Maodi heard this, he was also ready to go out and speak.
But at this moment, Wang Chengen was heard shouting loudly and asking: "Why, do you gentlemen have something in their hearts, are you afraid of singing this kind of music?"
Wang Dehua, the former eunuch and eunuch in charge of rites, had a very good relationship with the foreign court. This was a lesson Wang Chengen kept in mind. Therefore, he was not afraid of offending these chief ministers, ministers and so on. After understanding the emperor's thoughts, he directly sent these foreign ministers to the emperor.
Court officials shot to death!
No, upon hearing his words, all the foreign court officials looked angry, obviously very angry at his words.
I heard Liu Zongzhou shouting to Wang Chengen immediately: "Eunuch Wang, we are just discussing the matter, don't wear other hats!"
As the self-proclaimed leader of Qingliu, he was quite disgusted with these eunuchs, so naturally he would not hesitate to fight against them.
"Then why are you looking for reasons to object?" Wang Chengen heard this, but did not give in at all. He immediately asked, "Long live the performance, Master Liu, didn't hear it?"
"You..." When Liu Zong heard this on Monday, he immediately blew his beard and stared, but he was helpless for a moment. Because Wang Chengen was talking about the emperor, he couldn't be said to be greater than the emperor. He had to overturn the emperor's decision.
Bar?
No, it was said in a song I just sang. There is a truth that goes without saying, a person should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke at the right time and shouted: "That's enough!"
After hearing this, Wang Chengen, who had just been quarreling with Liu Zongzhou, immediately lowered his eyebrows and retreated to his seat.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at He Fengsheng and said coldly: "These songs should be easy to understand and easy to sing, so that everyone who is not good at singing can sing. Keep the words in your heart, remember your duty, and do everything.
Don’t lose your true identity in the face of power and money!”
In fact, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, folk ditties were already rich in content. Although the good and the bad were mixed, their influence was so widespread that "everyone, regardless of men or women, practiced it." One example is that Feng Menglong also compiled "
The book "Folk Song".
However, what Chen Yuanyuan sang this time was in a way they had never heard before, and they, as scholar-bureaucrats, were told to sing these basic principles, so they instinctively wanted to object.
But once it was so certain, it was not impossible for them to accept it. Especially since Emperor Chongzhen also used great principles to suppress them, which was considered as a way of using the other's method to repay the other's body.
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, He Fengsheng and others took the lead and had to bow down to receive the order.
Emperor Chongzhen had a smile on his face when he saw it, and said to them again: "Actually, things like this are what the Department of Political Affairs should do, publicize national policies, advocate these basic principles, and let people remember their duties. Don't worry.
Lose your heart!”
Since He Fengsheng and others have agreed, they will naturally not cause trouble for the emperor or themselves, so they are right to flatter the emperor!
Even Liu Zongzhou and others, who were disgusted with the political envoy Ruan Dacheng, suddenly had an idea and began to belittle Ruan Dacheng's drama, praising these songs as better and easier to publicize, etc.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what they said, how could he not know that they were actually speaking ill of Ruan Dacheng? He felt funny in his heart, so he pointed at Chen Yuanyuan with his finger and said: "She composed all these songs in two hours. I thought,
Your praise is indeed justified, and I also appreciate her talent!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zongzhou rolled his eyes and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the drama is indeed not as many as these songs! According to my opinion, this political affairs department should be replaced by someone more talented.
You can fulfill the responsibilities of the Department of Political Affairs!"
What he meant was, look, Ruan Dacheng is not even as good as a woman, so asking him to take charge of the Political Affairs Department would be bullying the Ming Dynasty!
Anyway, it would be the most enjoyable thing to do if Ruan Dacheng was the political envoy.
He Feng Shengxin understood this, and he was not happy to have Ruan Dacheng as his colleague, so he followed up and said: "What the censor of Zuodu said is absolutely true, and I second my opinion!"
Others listened, and some people seconded their opinions. In short, Ruan Dacheng's interpersonal relationships are really bad!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt happy and said to them: "What you said makes sense. Since you all think that these pieces of music are better than the drama, does that mean that Chen Yuanyuan is more talented than Ruan Dacheng? You and others think that Chen Yuanyuan is more talented than Ruan Dacheng."
What you mean is to let Chen Yuanyuan be the political envoy?"
"..." He Fengsheng and others never expected that Emperor Chongzhen would come to such an incredible conclusion based on their words. They were all stunned for a moment.
Naturally, among the people they call talented, women are not included!
When they came back to their senses and were about to speak, they saw that Emperor Chongzhen had already said to them: "But Chen Yuanyuan is a woman, and it is inappropriate for her to be the envoy. I cannot agree to your request!"
"..." Everyone in the Wenhua Hall was speechless.
Let’s not talk about how unreliable it is for a woman to be the political envoy. Besides, they didn’t even mention that Chen Yuanyuan would be the political envoy. How could they propose such a ridiculous thing!
Thinking like this, Liu Zongzhou immediately stepped out and wanted to explain, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen speak first: "But what you said makes sense. The songs compiled by Chen Yuanyuan are indeed suitable for the responsibilities of the Political Affairs Department. If
If she works in the Political and Communications Department, she can indeed bring into full play her talents. Well, then, I will create a new deputy political envoy with a third-grade official rank, and let Chen Yuanyuan use her talents to serve the country!"
"..." Liu Zongzhou and others were quite speechless when they heard that. They didn't mean it at all!
Even Chen Yuanyuan was stunned after hearing this.
The emperor had already mentioned this matter before, saying that he would create a new deputy political envoy for her to serve as.
However, after coming to the Wenhua Palace and listening to the whole story, it turned out that it was the princes of the imperial court who requested the emperor, and then the emperor agreed to set up the official position of deputy envoy of Zhengtong for her!
What's going on?
She was confused, and Wang Chengen was also a little confused. However, he was the first to come to his senses. As soon as he took a look at Emperor Chongzhen's expression, he immediately understood what this matter was about.
So, he immediately said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Long live your Majesty's kindness, why don't you quickly accept the decree to express your gratitude?"
After being urged by him, Chen Yuanyuan came to her senses and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Emperor Chongzhen and receive the order to thank him!
Looking at this scene, He Fengsheng and others felt a little unreal.
Why did this palace maid suddenly become a third-grade deputy political envoy just by talking?
What happened to this matter? Was it proposed by people like myself?
