eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 5
Before dawn, another busy day in Beijing began.

The officials' wives got up early to change their husbands into court clothes, and the servants in the mansion brought millet porridge, even the little babies raised at home, and some of them also got up to study.

The rooster crows in the morning, and the small sedan chairs are carried out from the alleys. Although there are many people, they are not crowded. At this time, there is no such thing as commuting to and from get off work at the wrong time?
The courtiers met and greeted each other in front of the palace, lined up and waited for the eunuch guarding the palace gate to open the door.

In the palace, the emperor also got up and changed his clothes.

The morning of the empire began with the busyness of this group of people.

The courtiers outside the palace gate have already started talking about His Royal Highness reciting half of the "Great Learning", people praised each other, maybe the Ming Dynasty can get another Ming King?

Above the Meridian Gate, there is a court bell and a drum. The eunuchs of the Bell and Drum Department beat the drum and rang the bell, opened the palace gate, and a group of officials entered in a file. Stand and wait on both sides facing each other, among which the civil servants are the left class and the military officers are the right class.

There is a royal seat in the middle of the upper corridor of Fengtian Gate, which is called "Golden Terrace". On the left and right sides of the steps are the bands of the bell and drum division. A school lieutenant stood with a knife in his hand.

After the emperor arrived at the imperial gate, the bell and drum division began to play music, and the guards in brocade clothes supported five umbrella covers and four groups of fans, climbed on the Danchi from the east and west sides, and stood on the left and right behind the throne.

In the morning, the court will discuss the list of people who will enter and leave Beijing.Some emperors will receive them, while others will not.In addition, there are some border emergencies.

Of course, the education of the Eastern Palace is also a top priority. After discussion and discussion, someone must bring it up.

The emperor was a weak character, otherwise he would not have been praised by Confucian students.Although he decreed that next spring will be warm, but in fact he is ready to be spit on.

"Cough!" General officials will cough when they go out, which is called 'cleaning'.

There is also the meaning of greeting in it,
Otherwise, at the same time, you also come out, I also come out, and he also goes out, wouldn't it be a mess?

"My minister, Xu Chun, has an original statement. It is an act of disloyalty to cause Wantong to speak wildly and rebelliously, to offend the beauty of heaven, and cause His Majesty to be unsafe. I ask your majesty to dismiss him from his position and dismiss him as an official!"

Wantong knew that he had caused the emperor to be in poor health, so even if there was any reason for the country and the people in this section, it would be unjustifiable.

The best way is to plead guilty and ask to die.

Anyway, the emperor won't kill you, so how can you ask people to persuade you after killing you?

Wantong knew this, so after someone impeached him, he immediately went out and knelt down, "Mr., death penalty!"

The emperor frowned, he didn't want to talk to this person at all.

I can't kill him, so I can ignore him.

Who told him that my son can't become a talent.

"I have already made a decision about the matter of giving lectures in the East Palace. The weather is cold and the prince is young. I have decided to wait until the spring gets warmer before proceeding."

"Sir, there is a recitation!"

Suddenly, an official sang loudly and came out with an upright face.

At this time, Liu, Li, and Xie all looked at Xu Shoufu.

It's started, I don't know how Master Shoufu balances today.

"Your Majesty, Qian Fu, the number one scholar in the third year of Hongzhi, once wrote a song "Song of Tomorrow": Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows! I live for tomorrow, and everything will come to naught! His Royal Highness is about the country and the people of the world, and he can't wait for a moment. , where is the warmth of spring next year?"

With this remark,
The emperor was also silent.

In the past ten years, he has actually gotten used to it.No matter what, someone always has an angle to spray it on.

Sometimes they will 'group and attack'.

This is only one person, not a scene.

Moreover, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were courageous, they dared to challenge the emperor, and another censor came out and said: "Since the seventh year of Hongzhi, Your Majesty has delayed the matter of leaving the East Palace to give lectures. Enshrined. Your majesty loves your son, and the ministers do not understand. However, your majesty is already seven years old, and the children of the common people at this age should also study with teachers and live outside, let alone the prince who is the foundation of the world?"

This is right, it is clear that we don't believe your words, the emperor, what about next spring, last year you said this spring!
And don't listen to your majesty and get angry, we have been fooled until now, we are still angry.

However, in the court hall, although the voices of the three or two people were full of arrogance, an old and important minister like Xu Pu was always there and did not say a word.

The crown prince's words can be understood in reverse, not everyone can realize it.

The emperor didn't want to talk, the courtiers talking nonsense, and gradually became quiet?

Hongzhi was surprised, why didn't there be a scene of a rush and a crowd of votes today?

His eyes couldn't help but drift to Xu Shoufu to the side.

The old man put his hands in his cuffs and lowered his head halfway. When the emperor looked down from above, he could see nothing but age spots on his cheeks.

But if he didn't act, the emperor wanted to find him.

"Xu Aiqing, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Old man Xu couldn't escape.

He slowly swayed out of the team, raised his arms, "Qiu Your Majesty. I want to congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand what he said without beginning or end, "What's my pleasure?"

Xu Pu spoke very slowly, "I have heard that rumors are everywhere in the palace. His Highness the Crown Prince can't bear His Majesty's hard work in reviewing the memorabilia, and wants to share His Majesty's worries! Isn't Your Highness's filial piety the joy of my lord? Isn't it the joy of Ming Dynasty?"

The more you praise your son, the better.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, "There is such a thing. Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, my emperor is very sensible."

The emperor recognized it.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally knelt down together, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Xu Pu's words, everyone has their own understanding.

After hearing this, the anxious minister knew: the prince has shown his heart to learn, and His Majesty favors the prince so much, so what's the problem with this matter?
Where is the emperor?In front of all civil and military officials, he recognized the prince's filial piety,

Naturally, I recognized my son's desire to read and write,

Since the son has this heart, you, as a father, in front of so many people, will stop your son from studying and progressing in the future?

Throughout the ages, there are not many people who are so confused, right?

Xu Shoufu's words seemed to be incomplete and completely off topic, but it seemed that he had said the most important meaning?

Reading in the warm spring next year is not only the emperor's intention, but also the prince's intention.

The emperor was not too stupid. With the consent of the chief assistant, he became full of confidence, "The prince is filial, and has shown his heart for the holy learning and the intention to share the worries of the emperor. Do you have any objections?"

Prince...

The prince is just a child, and is this true or false?
The people in the court murmured, but it is not good to ask questions directly on this occasion. You can't say that the emperor is lying, or let the prince come to prove it.

Below, Xie Qian came out, "Your Majesty, I have a book of instructions. I heard that His Highness has already recited half of the "Great Learning", and this is a young genius that is hard to find among the people. I think the remaining half of the chapter will not be needed much." Day, so I ask His Majesty to choose the person who will teach His Highness to recite the Holy Science."

Originally, everyone still had doubts.

But Mr. Xie Ge suddenly pushed things forward.

The fact that the prince recited half of the "Great Learning" is naturally known both inside and outside. What Xie Ge said is right, the second half of the chapter also needs to be taught by someone, so we can't just ask Zuo Zhongyun, right?

The dignified prince naturally has no shortage of teachers, but he has not officially left the cabinet to give lectures.In this case, whoever will go, after all, the emperor nods to be justified.

So the courtiers who were still concerned about when they would leave the cabinet to give lectures became concerned again.Gein's opportunity to get along with the prince every day is only temporary, but a teacher for a day is also a teacher.

"Xie Ge's words are justified, and the minister seconded the proposal!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

……

At this time, the Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was chatting with his queen mother.

The queen's mother looks like the world, and she is noble and graceful. The brilliance of motherhood makes people feel very warm and willing to approach.

"Zhao'er. My mother has heard about Zuo Zhongyun Yang Tinghe. Although this person has a small talent, he was only born as a Jinshi. You want to study and learn calligraphy. Why did you only ask a junior official with ordinary knowledge to teach you?"

……

"Ah..." Yang Tinghe, who wanted to keep a low profile for a few days, sneezed continuously. He felt his nose itchy, and he didn't know if it was a bad omen.
