Prince of Chaos

Chapter 9 Jingyan
After listening to Liu Wenzhen's words, Zhu Changluo laughed.

"It turns out that Imperial Physician Liu is also worried about five buckets of rice. It really is a penny that can't beat a hero."

After Liu Wenzhen heard Zhu Changluo's teasing, she couldn't help but smile.In the past few days in contact with Zhu Changluo, Liu Wenzhen no longer regards Zhu Changluo as just a five-year-old child. Liu Wenzhen thinks that Zhu Changluo is an adult who has his own opinions and responsibility, so every time Liu Wenzhen sees Zhu Changluo, she can't bear it. I live and wonder what the future Daming will look like.He is looking forward to the day when Zhu Changluo really grows up.

Zhu Changluo said: "Physician Liu doesn't have to worry, everything is up to me. You do your best to help me treat my sister, and I will show it to you both emotionally and rationally."

Then Zhu Changluo took off a jade pendant from his waist, "This is a gift from my mother when I paid New Year's greetings. I feel awkward hanging on my waist, so I will give it to you. Go to the pawn shop." Exchange some silver taels to tide over the difficulties."

When Liu Wenzhen saw that Zhu Changluo wanted to reward him with a jade pendant, Liu Wenzhen quickly refused, "Your Highness, you can't do that. Your jade pendant was given by the empress, how can I covet it?"

Zhu Changluo forcefully stuffed the jade pendant directly into Liu Wenzhen's hands, and even stepped on his feet. The height of this five-year-old child is a pit!If you pass something to someone, you have to put your feet on it, otherwise you won't be able to reach it.

Zhu Changluo said: "This jade pendant is not worth a lot of money. Even though it is an object in the palace, it is actually that. Besides, I am considered an elder as a prince. This is a gift from an elder. How can you refuse it as a minister?" Reason? Does it mean that you also look down on me, the eldest son of the emperor?"

When Liu Wenzhen heard what Zhu Changluo said, she felt terrified, "I dare not."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "If you don't dare, then accept it."

Liu Wenzhen: "But..."

Zhu Changluo: "It's nothing to worry about. The Jingyang Palace was not rich in the first place, and my mother and concubine were not favored by the emperor. Now that there is finally someone who is willing to help us, I will take it as a reward. Although there is only one Yupei, you can accept it for now, and I will offer the consultation fee when I have money later."

Liu Wenzhen was extremely moved, Liu Wenzhen said: "Your Highness is serious, it is my duty to serve Your Highness, why dare to ask for credit. But..."

However, Liu Wenzhen couldn't say it anymore. If it was in the past, he would definitely refuse all the rewards from the nobles in the palace, but now that the salary has been suspended for two months, he still has to live his life. The whole family still has to wait for his salary. Living, so Liu Wenzhen can only accept Zhu Changluo's reward.

Just when Liu Wenzhen was moved, a eunuch who passed the order suddenly came outside Jingyang Palace.

"Is His Royal Highness the eldest son here?"

The little eunuch asked very politely at the gate of Jingyang Palace.

When Wang An heard that someone was looking for the eldest son of the emperor, he immediately came out of Jingyang Palace.

The little eunuch bowed to Wang An, "I have seen the prince..."

Wang An said: "What is the matter with His Royal Highness the eldest son?"

The little eunuch said: "The emperor asked me to find the eldest son of the emperor and go to the Wenhua Palace."

When Wang An heard that Emperor Wanli was looking for the eldest son of the emperor, or going to the Wenhua Palace, Wang An was overjoyed immediately.

Wang An said: "The eldest son of the emperor is in the left ear room. Our family will take you there."

Wang An took the little eunuch to find Zhu Changluo.

The little eunuch first saluted Zhu Changluo, and then said: "The emperor's words."

When Zhu Changluo heard that it was Wanli's oral order, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted, "My son greets the saint."

The little eunuch replied on behalf of Emperor Wanli: "I am safe."

Then the little eunuch sent a verbal order: "Please come to the Wenhua Palace, the eldest son of the emperor. Here you go."

Zhu Changluo said: "Your minister leads the order."

Then, the little eunuch took Zhu Changluo to the Wenhua Palace. Before leaving, Wang An quietly rewarded the little eunuch with a few coins, and the little eunuch happily took Zhu Changluo away.

Wang An couldn't bear the joy and hurried to the inner hall of Jingyang Palace, "Your Majesty is overjoyed, the emperor has summoned the eldest son of the emperor to the Wenhua Palace."

Concubine Gong wept with joy.

This Wenhua Hall is located in the east of the Forbidden City, where Emperor Wanli studied.However, the emperor's reading cannot be called just reading, because in addition to the usual reading and lectures, there is also a grand way of reading, which is the "Jingyan".

The person in charge of the banquet is generally a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. The banquet is held three times a month in spring and autumn when the climate is mild.Every sutra banquet, all the six ministers in Beijing, the left and right censors, cabinet scholars and courtiers and relatives with titles must participate together, and during the event, many censors also appeared in the ranks of listening.

Jingyan is usually held after the early dynasty, and Emperor Wanli will arrive first under the protection of 20 generals of the Han Dynasty.

In this elegant occasion, the big Han general also puts on robes instead of armor, but still carries gourds and other indispensable weapons.Emperor Wanli sat down in the south of the Wenhua Hall, ordered all the officials to enter, and saluted like a ritual.

Then Emperor Wanli didn't wait for the officials of Honglu Temple to act, he first said: "Your family, please wait a moment, besides me, there is one more attending the sutra banquet today."

The officials were astonished and couldn't think of anyone else.Just this is a singing outside the hall, "The eldest son of the emperor has arrived."

Only then did the officials realize that it was the eldest son of the emperor who had arrived. Is this true or not?Could it be that the emperor has changed his mind and changed his mind?Want to establish the eldest son of the emperor as the prince?This is really a blessing for the community!
Emperor Wanli never expected that he would just call Zhu Changluo to study as agreed, and that these ministers would come up with so many political signals in their brains. If he knew this would happen, Emperor Wanli would never let Zhu Changluo come to Wenhua. The sutra feast of the temple comes up.

Zhu Changluo entered the palace carefully, he did not expect that there would be such a big battle in the Wenhua Palace today, Zhu Changluo didn't dare to look too much, he respectfully bowed in front of Emperor Wanli, "I see my father, I wish my father good fortune forever , Longevity is boundless."

Emperor Wanli said: "Sit down. Today I will bring you to participate in the sutra banquet. You can listen carefully to the lectures of the Imperial Academy. I will ask you questions."

Zhu Changluo replied: "Yes."

Then he sat in front of a prepared desk beside him.

At this point, the officials of Honglu Temple placed one of the other books in front of the throne of Emperor Wanli for the sacred mirror; the other was placed a few steps away for the officials to use.The officials who attended the lecture filed in one after another, and arranged books on the left and right.

Sutra banquets, like all other ceremonies, must have their visual and auditory symmetry and balance.The lecture notes written in regular script the day before have been displayed on the case table.Under the chanting of the praise officer, two lecturers in red robes and two book exhibitors in blue robes came out.They are all outstanding personnel in the Hanlin Academy.

The lecturer faced the Wanli Emperor, and the exhibitor was facing east and west on both sides of the book case.Then the lecturer kowtowed, and after the kowtow, the curator on the left approached the book case with his knees, opened the handouts of the imperial book, and flattened it with a copper ruler.

At this time, the lecturer on the left has also stepped forward, stood in the center, and began to give a speech.

It was also the first time for Zhu Changluo to see such a cumbersome way of reading. Under the fiddling of these civil servants, he was so bored that he almost fell asleep.

At this time, it was finally done.

A lecturer coming from the left stood in the middle and began to talk about the contents of the "Four Books".What the lecturer on the right teaches is history.

The lecturer said: "Zi said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is knowing. Confucius means that knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. This is the real wisdom. A gentleman learns to know, and does not learn. Dangerous, it is the way of a sage who should be studied for a long time, learn new things by reviewing the old, and be able to know them for a long time."

After the lecture was over, Emperor Wanli asked Zhu Changluo, "Do you understand?"

Of course Zhu Changluo understands, don't you have to keep studying, don't you pretend to understand?But Zhu Changluo couldn't show it yet. Zhu Changluo pinched his soft flesh secretly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Return to father, my son can't understand. My son is five years old and hasn't learned it yet. So far, he knows only a few words." It’s less than a hundred. The master’s speech is very good, but the minister is confused and doesn’t know what to do, please punish the emperor.”

Emperor Wanli was angry when he heard Zhu Changluo said that he didn't understand, but when he heard Zhu Changluo's next words, Emperor Wanli blamed himself.

Emperor Wanli said: "It's because I usually ignore your study. The sage's reasoning is profound and unpredictable, and it's true that you can't understand it at your current level. In the future, you should come to the Wenhua Palace to listen to the lectures of the scholars. Make sure you read all the words first."

Zhu Changluo pretended to be aggrieved and sobbed, "I obey the order."

Then, the gang of lecturing bachelors climaxed.In the future, the eldest son of the emperor will come to Wenhua Palace to study, so such an important opportunity may not be wasted.This opportunity must be seized!

Therefore, a group of Hanlin scholars hurriedly knelt down and begged for an order, "I am willing to enlighten the eldest son of the emperor."

Emperor Wanli did not expect that the Hanlin scholars, who had always been noble, would rush to enlighten Zhu Changluo.

Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment, and finally came back to his senses.This group of Hanlin scholars actually still have unreasonable thoughts!Want to interfere with the inheritance of the Tian family's throne!

Tolerable or unbearable!
Emperor Wanli said with a gloomy face: "We will discuss this matter later, and this is the end of today's sutra feast."

Seeing Emperor Wanli's reaction like this, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "There is a long way to go! We still have to find Empress Dowager Li!"
