This afternoon, in the Yanhe Bian Hall.
Sun Jue, the newly-appointed lecturer, and Cheng Yi, the storyteller of Jiying Hall, bowed with fluorine in their hands: "I respectfully wish to express my sincere wishes to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor, and may I wish you all the best!"
Zhao Xu sat on the throne and looked calmly at Sun Jue, who was wearing a purple robe and a long turban, and looked like a neighbor's uncle.
Sun Jue is a very interesting person.
Say he is a new party member? It seems reasonable.
From Xining to Yuanfeng, no matter who the prime minister was on stage, no one felt sorry for him, or even put him in a good position!
Wang Anshi even maintained a close correspondence with Sun Jue for a time - this was mainly because Wang Ling, Wang Anshi's brother-in-law and the great poet who died young, had visited Sun Jue and studied with Sun Jue, and then Wang Ling introduced him. Sun Jue gives Wang Anshi!
Say he is an old party member? It seems to be the same thing.
Look.
Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang both admired him.
His son-in-law was Huang Tingjian, one of the four scholars of the Su family.
Later, Qin Guan, one of the four scholars of the New Sumen, was also discovered by him!
He was simply Su Shi's great benefactor.
He continuously cultivated talents for Su Shi - whether Huang Tingjian or Qin Guan, Sun Jue took the initiative to recommend them to Su Shi.
In Zhao Xu's previous life, Sun Jue died very early, so he didn't have much of an impression.
In modern times, Zhao Xu only looked up some information on Sun Jue because he wanted to read a paper by Su Shi.
Then I was shocked!
How much favor did Su Shi give to Sun Jue in his previous life?
Let him transport talents like this without asking for anything in return!
Until now, Zhao Xu still couldn't figure it out. He could only blame it on Su Bearded's personal charm being too high!
Looking away from Sun Jue, Zhao Xu saw the Cheng Yi who had taken the initiative to self-destruct in his previous life, letting Zhao Xu know that his every move was being monitored.
Cheng Yi is still young, in his early fifties, with black hair under his head and a very handsome beard. His appearance fits the modern stereotypes of teachers.
He looks very serious, the kind of middle-aged and elderly teacher who is unsmiling.
In modern times, Cheng Yi is most famous for his famous saying that was carried forward in the Ming and Qing Dynasties: Starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal!
However, Cheng Yi's words were addressed to the scholar-bureaucrats!
It has never been aimed at ordinary people, not even military ministers and relatives!
Of course, Cheng Yi naturally has many limitations of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, this cannot be harsh on him.
Looking at these two ministers, Zhao Xu said softly: "I beg you!"
"Come here, give these two gentlemen a seat and some tea!"
Sun Jue and Cheng Yi thanked them again, and then sat on the chairs that were brought to them.
I listened to the young master in the palace and continued: "Unfortunately, the Huangkao Temple is on the verge of abandoning the world. I am a young warrior. Fortunately, I have been protected and supported by the loving saints of the two palaces. All my noble ministers will not give up their help!"
"I will learn from the ancient kings, respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is the most important thing, and the foundation is to be eager to learn and seek knowledge!"
"Both gentlemen are great scholars in the country and famous people in the world. There must be someone who can teach me!"
"I would also like to invite you two gentlemen to give me your advice! I should listen attentively, follow the good ones, and tolerate the bad ones!"
As Sun Jue and Cheng Yi listened, they had already expected the immature but steady and coherent voice of the young master in the palace.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked!
seeing is believing!
When I arrived at the palace, I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears the young master’s announcement.
Especially the promise in the last sentence made both of them very excited!
Before coming, what they were most afraid of was that if the emperor said the wrong thing and made others unhappy, they might be punished!
Now, the young master has personally promised that he can speak freely during the banquet, even if he is wrong, he will be tolerant!
Even if it was just a gesture of talk, it was enough to move the two of them.
So, the two people stood up quickly and bowed again: "Your Majesty is eager to learn and follow the Tao, and I would like to celebrate it for the country and the world!"
Looking at the two palaces behind the curtain, I was very satisfied.
Before they came today, they encouraged Zhao Xu to talk and communicate more with the officials.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager took the initiative and said inside the curtain: "Two beloved ministers, the officials are very eager to learn!"
"On weekdays, even if it's not a scripture class, I often consult with me and the Queen Mother on educational matters!"
"Now that I have two beloved ministers as assistants and professors, I and the Queen Mother can feel relieved!"
"I wonder if you two dear ministers have any suggestions or advice regarding the studies and study of officials?"
"If you have any requests, I will listen to you with humility!"
Naturally, this is to pave the way for Cheng Yi.
Sun Jue just happened by the way.
However, as the minister, Sun Jue still had to express his stance first.
He held the sage in his hand and bowed: "I'm going to tell you, Your Majesty the Emperor, the Merciful Sage of the Two Palaces... I heard that Your Majesty has read through the Spring and Autumn Annals, but I'm not talented. Please present the "Explanation of the Spring and Autumn Sutra" that I wrote last year to present to the Emperor for His Majesty's benefit. Reference for the four seasons, reading..."
Sun Jue is the most famous contemporary authority on Spring and Autumn Studies!
His book "Explanation of the Spring and Autumn Classics" even influenced the later Spring and Autumn Studies in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Zhao Xu said softly: "I will read the book you presented to me respectfully!"
In any case, this is an era when Confucianism is in power.
As an emperor, Zhao Xu must also cooperate with the Confucianists to get what they need - you can't turn against yourself, right?
How stupid that must be!
Therefore, Zhao Xu not only had to study and study Confucian classics such as Spring and Autumn Period in depth, but also needed to understand them thoroughly.
Fortunately, with the foundation laid in his previous life, Zhao Xu can already calmly deal with all issues related to Confucian classics.
While studying abroad in Modern Times, he took the time to read the collected works of Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming.
This is another good accumulation point.
That's why he was able to repeatedly expound on the "sage's subtle words and great meaning"!
Because he copied the expositions of Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and others, but processed them himself and expressed them in language acceptable to the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty!
Sun Jue bowed again and stepped back, and Cheng Yi had already bowed with fluorine in his hand: "I am going to tell you that Your Majesty the Emperor, the Cisages of the Two Palaces, and my brother, Cheng Yi Lang and the minister of Zongzheng Temple, Cheng Hao, entrusted me with his painstaking work """ before his death. The book "Knowing Benevolence" is presented to His Majesty..."
"I sincerely offer this book to you, and I hope your majesty will accept it!"
Zhao Xu then sighed and said: "Congratulations to Lang Cheng Hao, one of the great Confucian scholars in the world!"
"Zheng Lu and Sima Gong have recommended to me many times. They all said: Among contemporary Confucian masters, there are very few who can be as good as Cheng Hao, and they are especially good at economics!"
"I have admired you for a long time. I would like to meet you in the palace and inquire about your knowledge and economics!"
"But God has lost a great scholar in our country. I am really sorry to hear this!"
"I have to agree with Lang Chenghao's masterpiece. I should read it carefully. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope you will give me some advice!"
Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly became hot when he heard this, and he bowed with great emotion: "On behalf of my late brother, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness!"
For Cheng Yi, nothing moved him more than hearing with his own ears that the young master praised his elder brother and his knowledge!
This is what scholar-bureaucrats like Er Cheng value most!
Learn martial arts and become an emperor!
The emperor's approval is equivalent to putting a best-selling label on one's family!
It is enough to attract scholars from all over the world to learn from it.
The orthodoxy will spread silently and quietly.
Thus, the name and reality of Confucianism took root!
Cheng Yi knew very well that what the young master said now in the palace was enough to greatly speed up the spread of the knowledge that their brothers had devoted their whole lives to!
At least it will save you fifty years of struggle!
"That's right!" Cheng Yizheng was so moved that he heard the young master in the palace say: "Unfortunately, Mr. Cheng Hao passed away due to illness! I am deeply saddened! I remember that when Mr. Cheng Hao was still alive, he taught widely and accompanied talents deeply. I specially skipped the feast to express my condolences!"
"At the same time, I also wrote four words to Gu Chengyilang privately!"
"Since you have arrived at the palace today, I will give these four words to you!"
"You can send it back to Luoyang, and with my wishes, it can be engraved on the Gucheng Yilang Shinto Monument!"
Cheng Yi trembled when he heard the moved voice: "Brother, I have received your majesty's love... If there is a soul in heaven, I will be deeply grateful to your majesty for your kindness!"
This young master really respects his teachers!
When my deceased brother passed away, I skipped the feast to express my condolences.
Now, a personal letter written by the emperor is given, inscribed with the divine way!
This is the greatest honor of a scholar-bureaucrat!
It is the highest affirmation for a scholar-official’s intellectual articles!
So Cheng Yi bowed his head again excitedly.
Sun Jue, who was watching next to him, was also filled with excitement.
He is also a banquet official.
In the future, he should also have these honors, right? !
There will definitely be one!
At this time, the ministers in the palace had respectfully held the words written by the Emperor's imperial pen on a piece of paper and presented them to Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi bowed respectfully before looking at the piece of paper.
Four regular regular scripts in Guange style came into view: Mr. Mingdao!
Cheng Yi almost burst into tears when he saw this!
I bowed again and thanked him: "Your Majesty, I express my gratitude to you, my deceased brother!"
But how could Cheng Yi know that this was what Zhao Xu had planned long ago!
First win Er Cheng’s trust and show him great kindness!
In this way, when he takes charge of the government in the future, Er Cheng's knowledge and thoughts will not be interpreted by him in any way he wants.
Especially Cheng Hao's thoughts and theories. When Zhao Xu used them to endorse his policies, would a traditional scholar-official like Cheng Yi, who regarded loyalty to the emperor as his life, be willing to refute it? !
Definitely not!
As long as Zhao Xu didn't use it too deviantly, Cheng Yi would have even pinched his nose and endorsed Zhao Xu!
Ah, yes, yes!
This is what my late brother Cheng Hao thought!
This is the Jiuzhan Magpie Nest!
It is also a trick often played by modern listed companies.
I buy shares first, and then slowly take over the voice and shares. In the end, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine!
Cheng Yi didn't know this, so he was naturally grateful.
The two palaces are extremely happy and satisfied!
In their opinion, Zhao Xu's performance perfectly met the world's requirements for a wise king.
This is really embarrassing for the two palaces!
In the future history of history, the events of today will surely be recorded with thick ink and heavy writing!
And for them, they will naturally be praised without hesitation!
Especially the Empress Dowager, she was so happy that she couldn’t even open her mouth from ear to ear!
She now feels deeply that she is the Taisi of the Song Dynasty!
After King Wen, the mother of King Wu, and the ancestor of King Cheng!
If you think carefully about the character and behavior of the three emperors of the Song Dynasty, this is really the case!
Well, let’s first pay back the monthly tickets for last month and this month plus more!
I will also pay back the 4,500 words I owed when I went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago!
