eldest son of Ming dynasty

Since ancient times, once a prosperous age begins, it will surely flourish.

The so-called arrogance of the country and the people means that the national strength is strong, the common people are proud, and the literati are even more crazy.

This is true even in modern times.For example, in the 80s, the Japanese suddenly wrote a book called "Japan Can Say No" in their glory days.

In fact, he can say no, the whole country is full of other people's military bases.

But once the national power is strong, the literati are confident.

This is the law.

Zhu Houzhao's achievements since he came to the throne have been very remarkable. The Tatar border troubles throughout the Hongzhi period were eliminated in one fell swoop, and the Ming cavalry reappeared in the world, the treasury began to have silver deposits, and the annual revenue began to increase.

Although from a microscopic point of view, Daming still has many problems, but from a macroscopic point of view, some people have begun to call it ZTE.

Over the past few years, all kinds of literati and rural sages have more and more praised the prosperous age that is so close that it can already be touched.

Minor officials like Taichang Temple Cheng in Beijing rarely get the attention of Zhu Houzhao because they are in charge of sacrificial etiquette. Today's Emperor Zhengde is completely "bad" about sacrificial etiquette. What to do, check the records of the previous dynasty. If there is no precedent to refer to, then the Ministry of Rites will come up with an opinion, and he only needs to agree.

Emperor Jiajing fought for the ceremony, starting from the event of the ceremony, and fought for the imperial power in this way.

Zhu Houzhao has already completed the commanding heights, and he is the only son of Emperor Hongzhi. If he wants to challenge the legitimacy of his power in terms of etiquette, he has to lift the coffin of Confucius.

But the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple doesn't have much affairs, and Bian Gong is not willing to do nothing all day after he just passed his thirties. He is one of the "former seven sons". on the wandering.

Among the first seven sons, except Li Mengyang and Wang Tingxiang.There are four more.They are:

He Jingming, he is currently Zhongshusheren. This official position has been greatly reduced in the Ming Dynasty. His rank is Cong Qipin.But He Jingming's status in the literary world is not low, and he is called the leader of the literary world along with Li Mengyang.The reason why the literary talent is high but the official position is not high is still the old problem of that literati: straightforward nature.

Xu Zhenqing, he is the most literary achievement among the "former seven sons" except Li and He.But because of his ugly appearance, he was not admitted to the Imperial Academy, and was awarded the deputy of Dali Zuosi instead.It belongs to the staff who assist the temple to handle the case, from the sixth rank.

Kang Hai, the No. 15 scholar in the [-]th year of Hongzhi, is currently the Hanlin Xiuzhuan, and he is suffering.

Wang Jiusi, this person is a bit interesting, he is Liu Jin's fellow from Shaanxi, Liu Jin later recruited him, but he refused to accept, and now he is a doctor of Guozijian, in charge of the teaching of Guozijian.

Except for Wang Tingxiang, the first seven sons are all in the capital, and they are very famous. Similarly, they are really "difficult brothers and sisters" when they become officials.

In this case, we can only comfort each other. Now that Li Mengyang, the leading figure, is back in Beijing, and Bian Gong personally arranges to preside over it, a literary meeting of "Ji Si Liu Zi Shu" begins vigorously.

The so-called Jisi corresponds to the fourth year of Zhengde in the Tiangandizhi.

The six sons are naturally the six of them.

The former seven sons turned into six sons—it was because of the literati's thoughts, after all, Wang Tingxiang is no longer the same, and the six of them gathered together, it was not for the purpose of rectifying the name of the "former seven sons" to get involved with Wang Tingxiang.

As a result, at the end of autumn in the fourth year of Zhengde, the capital suddenly became lively.

After all, these six people gathered together, although they were not prominent court officials, they all wore official status.

People who are not officials are envious of their identities; those who have become officials but have not been high officials admire their talents and names, and even some children from famous families want to join in the fun and feel their presence.

……

……

"Just one Li Mengyang can make many literati in the capital flock to him. It seems that I have underestimated them in the past?"

Zhu Houzhao learned about this Jisi Six Sons Book from Wang Zhi.

And Wang Zhi was invited to this imperial garden in the heaven and earth.

After a while, it was actually a kind of pastime for the emperor to hear about the major events happening in Beijing.

Although Wang Zhi is a woman, she is also talented, and she can practice good calligraphy on weekdays, so she is more welcome to this kind of literary society.

"It's not because your majesty underestimated them. Compared with the emperor, the six of them together are not as good as your majesty."

"That's different." Zhu Houzhao walked leisurely in the garden with his hands behind his back, "I have a specialization in art, and I can't write a poem like "Autumn Hope"."

"Your Majesty also knows Li Mengyang's poems?"

"I heard that Shuofang is so brave, but who is Guo Fenyang today. His poem on the battlefield is still okay."

During the reign of Hongzhi, Li Mengyang was ordered to go to the front line because of the invasion of the Tatars, and wrote this poem on the way.The so-called Guo Fenyang refers to Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty.

So this poem is calling for Guo Ziyi of Ming Dynasty.

No matter how ignorant and ignorant Zhu Houzhao was, he had read it.

Wang Zhi's eyes flickered with color, "I heard that this time, it was because His Majesty scolded Liu Jin angrily. As soon as Li Mengyang entered Beijing, he was excited by His Majesty's resolute refusal to be tempted by his servants. From this, there is a sentence: There is such a virtuous king in the world. And the rebellion of King An of Ningxia is indeed a joke through the ages."

Zhu Houzhao is thick-skinned and not red at all, "literati like to exaggerate. Looking at it for thousands of years, King An's rebellion is nothing more than a trivial matter, so it cannot be regarded as a joke through the ages."

Wang Zhi took a bit of seriousness, "People in this world are complaining for His Majesty. Zhi'er really thinks that there is a monarch like this in the year of Zhengde, but if there is no great talent in the literary world to match, then it is a shame for scholars. "

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, "That's all, that's all. Let them talk about it, and see what eternal articles can be handed down to future generations."

"There must be. When the officers and soldiers escort An Ni to the capital, His Majesty will be able to use this article to deal with all the people in the world."

This is somewhat political.

Specifically, public opinion.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, it was a coincidence that this happened.

The history of the feudal dynasty in 2000 has always been written by scholars, and ordinary people can't take a few words.If Li Mengyang, a leader in the literary world, really wanted to stir up such a thing, he could actually make good use of it.

The purpose is for the affairs of the suzerain.

The reason why it is difficult for the emperor to deal with the matter of suzerain vassal is because it is a national matter, but it is also a family matter. The family and the country are not separated, and the ancestral system is difficult to violate, so that the emperors of all dynasties can only "scratch the itch". He was born as a vassal king, so he couldn't kill him.

After all, the sons and grandsons of the dragon are different, which in itself is part of Zhu Houzhao's legitimacy as emperor.Picking out these people to kill at will, it seems that the emperor is cruel and loves his relatives, and his six relatives don't recognize him.

Not to mention anything else, if you can hit people with blood ties so hard, then those who work for you are also afraid, they are afraid that one day they will offend the emperor and die.

But Zhu Houzhao also knew that the literati of the past dynasties also had a deep understanding of the harm of suzerains and vassals. In the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know how many people pointed out the dangers of taxation in the world, and suzerains and vassals accounted for half of the harm.

"What Zhi'er said today does have some meaning."

The emperor had a thought in his heart, and gradually came up with the prototype of the method. In fact... it would be better to have a righteous version of the ceremony.
