Prime Minister

Chapter 603
At the end of the second year of Xining.

Officials come to Taixue to learn in person.The emperor's Xingxue is the ritual system of the week.

One day before the official's visit to the Taixue, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Taixue banned all entry and exit outside the Taixue.

The Taixue students cleaned the inside and outside of Taixue, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion swept the streets around Taixue and spread the loess.

After Chonghuatang, the inner eunuch set up a large order for the officials.

Zhongshu Province sent several waves of officials to inspect the details, adding details over and over again tirelessly, and rectifying the details.

After that, Taichang Liyuan, Yuyaojian, Yushitai and others sent people to inspect to make it meet the emperor's specifications.

Tianzi Xingxue is a grand canon, so he worked hard for more than ten days, in order to leave a good impression on the officials and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty in this grand ceremony.

Among them, the attitude of Wang Anshi and other party officials made Zhang Yue find it particularly difficult to deal with.

Since Zhang Zhi got engaged to the Lu family, Zhang Yue could feel that Wang Anshi's attitude towards him had changed for the better, but in the past few days it has suddenly changed, and it can even be described as moody.

Zhang Yue also felt that he was 'justified', whoever said that his eldest nephew didn't marry your daughter meant that I also lost face to you.

Lu Gongzhu is now on the side of Sima Guang, that is to say, he is on the opposite side of Wang Anshi.

With the continuation of the Xining Reform, a party struggle is inevitable.

This is definitely a more dangerous official struggle than the Qingli New Deal.

Having said that, Zhang Yue watched a lot of palace fighting dramas and conspiracy dramas before traveling, but now he feels that they are less reliable.In the struggle of the lower-level officialdom, in fact, there are not few conspiracies and tricks, such as the calculations of various matryoshka dolls.

On the contrary, the low-level officialdom struggles are back to the basics, and the tricks used are all conspiracy, and they are all small openings and closings, which are hidden by you.

The first thing that decides the outcome is the word 'potential'.

That's why Confucius, Shi Dianli and other officials at that time were mostly in the mood to find fault and find fault, so they must make a [-]% and let people find out what's wrong.

That's also Li Fei's temperament since he was a student and became an official, and he can be picky.How he wants to make people picky, so he must make complete preparations in advance.

Eight days after Confucius, Xingxue was busy and stopped.On the next day, I was so busy in the Imperial College that I couldn’t sleep all night, and the next day I relied on ginseng soup to refresh my mind. The energy I had to deal with for the emperor’s inspection was even more tiring than that of the provincial exam.

For Li Fei, it was also a quiz for half a year in charge of the Taixue.

Finally came the day of inspection, just after dawn, Xingxue sat under the chair and closed his eyes for a while to rest his mind. Hearing the sound of footsteps inside, he immediately opened his eyes.

At that time, the eunuch came in and reported: "The chapter is waiting for the system, and your Majesty's chariot and horse will leave the palace."

It was only the emperor, and even the civil and military officials who were driving were waiting outside the palace early in the morning, and then inspected Taixue after driving with the emperor.

Xing Xue nodded and walked out the door immediately.At this moment, Jiancheng is speaking directly, and the lecturers and assistants are all waiting in the door at the moment.

We all followed Xingxue to the small gate of Taixue to welcome the emperor.

After waiting for a while, the sound of drums was heard from far away.

The sky is still so bright at this moment, and the bustling city of Kaifeng in the past is still noisy.

The reason why officials chose Confucius at that time was because there was no cloud in the Book of Rites, the emperor inspected learning, and Xiaoxin drums.

It is said that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor inspected Taixue, that is, when the sun was rising, the emperor's car hurriedly arrived at Taixue with the sound of small drums, and everyone knew from bottom to top that the emperor had come to inspect.

In the Song Dynasty, which must be called the Eight Dynasties, all models were written down according to rituals.But it's completely true. In the past, the emperor wanted to support the eight elders and the seven Gengs in Taixue.

When the emperor inspected Taixue, he had to bow down to the eight elders and seven Gengs in public.

But now?
In another time and space history, Emperor Qianlong never had a whim, saying that in the past there was no ritual of eight elders and seven shifts, and you plan to restore it.

After hearing this, Zhang Tingyu retorted directly, which little minister would dare to accept it.

Xingxue and the others were all looking forward to it, but they saw yellow dust flying nearby.

The emperor's chariot had not yet arrived, but the imperial cavalry's rear guide and Lu Bu came in a hurry, and they traveled a full two or eight miles.

Immediately, the emperor's car arrived, and a display of ceremonial guards was placed behind the gate of Taixue. Then Shi Dianli, Sima Guang, Lu Huiqing and other hundred ministers all walked from the right to the left.

The official family stepped out from the car, and the sun was rising at that scene, just as thousands of golden lights were shining in the distance of the royal car.

Li Fei and all the officials shouted long live.

The official wore a sky-high crown, and stepped into the car nervously, looked at Li Fei and other school officials who greeted him by the roadside, nodded and said: "It is necessary to be less polite."

When they arrived at the small gate, the official's family gave up their car and drove slowly into Taixue on an imperial horse. Shi Dianli, Xingxue and other small officials, all the officials were in front of them.

The Tai students are all waiting by the side of the road to see the emperor's face.

Sitting under the horse, the official family looked at the nearby Taixue's living quarters and the newly repaired lecture hall, and nodded slightly.

The officials first entered the small time to rest for a while, and then went to the main hall to retreat to Wang Anshi before changing clothes.

Wang Anshi was also an exponent of dishes. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, he ordered the officials to offer sacrifices to the sages and teachers. At this time, Zhang Yue had not yet been born.In the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was the only one, Li Fei was revered first as a teacher and then as a sage, so Wang Anshi paid homage to Zhang Yue.

And Wang Anshi regressed especially during the winter solstice, and the officials chose to come to Taixue to worship the ancestors during the winter solstice, the significance of which is self-evident.

The Confucian Eight Rites respect heaven and earth, ancestors, emperors and teachers.

Officials to Taixue personally offered sacrifices to Zhang Yue, expressing that they were insulting the Confucian tradition, but thinking about it together with today's reforms, one can understand the significance of that move.

Wang Anshi was the top priority of Confucius that time.

In front of Wang Anshi, the officials looked at the portraits of the ten philosophers.

The officials came up with a topic temporarily, and ordered the accompanying ministers and Hanlin scholars to write articles for the ten philosophers.

The officials are also messy, Shi Dianli ordered Yan Hui, Sima Guang ordered Zigong, but I am not qualified to learn from my attendants.

But the officials chose me to write an article for Zixia.

Xingxue and others complied while thinking and writing according to their orders. At that time, the officials asked directly to the imperial scholars above: "The sage praised the gods, looked up and looked down. Before he began to write the four hexagrams, the sacred weight was 87. The number of poles, the small righteousness of the world, there is no such thing as preparation, and there is no "Lianshan" in Xia Dynasty, "Guizang" in Yin Dynasty, and "Zhou Yi" in Zhou Dynasty. What is the reason for the book of "Yi"?"

But I saw an old man who came up with the first answer: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Bao Xi made the four hexagrams based on the picture of Suihuang, Shennong performed it as 87, Huangdi, Yao, and Shun followed the changes, and the eight generations were at any time. Its matter. Therefore, in "Yi", it changes and changes; it is called "Lianshan", which seems to connect the heaven and earth with the inner energy of the mountain; in "Gui Zang", everything is hidden in it. The emperor also said: Xi wrote "Yi" because of Suihuang

......"

After hearing the old man's answer, the officials said, Yu Xiaoxi said: "Qing is really a master of Yixue, do you know that Qing has any position in Taixue?"

Fang Yan said: "Reporting to your majesty, your name is Zhou Dunyi. I have been invited to give lectures in Taixue temporarily."

When the official heard that the other party was actually Zhou Dunyi, Xiaoxi said: "I have read Qing's articles day and night, and I intend to meet here."
