On August 16, the fifth year of Wanli, in accordance with the rules of holding court meetings on March, June and Ninth, the emperor went to court early in the morning. However, compared with the noisy process of drafting previous edicts, this time it was just a process.
Zhang Juzheng, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, went out to start the ceremony, saying that the drafting of the imperial edict was completed, and he asked the emperor to issue a decree to complete the six sections and issue it to the world. Zhu Yijun suppressed his excitement and Yuyin said "yes" - the court meeting ended.
The people in the Sixth Section were also excited by the announcement of the imperial edict. They put down everything they were doing and queued up outside the Sixth Section Corridor. When the secretary of the attendant's office, Lang, delivered the imperial edict, Jia Sanjin, the official in charge of the affairs, had sharp eyes and was the first to rush forward to receive it.
Grab, grab, grab. I saw other colleagues coming up one after another to have a sneak peek. Jia Sanjin smiled and said: "I have read through the draft and made many comments - how about Jia read the final draft?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Jia Sanjin unfolded the thick edict and read from the first page:
"The Emperor, who was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, issued an edict: There are eternal rules that are unchangeable throughout the ages, and there is no unchangeable method of governance. It is difficult to change for a long time, and it can be seen in the big. The profit and loss can be known, and it is based on. The three cardinal principles and five constants are built to be unchangeable, and they are as clear as the sun and the moon shining on the world. But it can be The one who changes the order of A and B may as well change the strings of a harp and a harp. Since ancient times, there have been changes in each generation. That is to say, the ancestors of our dynasty have established systems according to the times, with many similarities and differences."
After reading this, Jia Sanjin looked like he was drinking cold water in the dog days of summer, and exclaimed: "What a majestic and magnificent article!"
...
At this time, Zhu Yijun, who had returned to the harem from the morning, accompanied by a group of internal officials and guards, went to Xiyuan to relax his nerves that had been highly tense since March.
When we arrived at the pill-making field, we saw the queen leading some concubines to pound pills on the yellowed lawn. The whole place was filled with the sounds of coquettishness and laughter. Zhu Yijun enjoyed the beauty in the autumn colors for a while, and his mood felt a little better.
Seeing Zhu Yijun arriving, the queen came with her concubines to salute and invited Zhu Yijun to participate in Chui Wan. Zhu Yijun played golf several times before time traveling. After time traveling, he improved the game of Chui Wan, the originator of golf, to make it different from that of later generations.
Seeing that the queen's face was rosy and her expression was cute and adorable while playing, Zhu Yijun scratched her nose and laughed and said: "Well, you guys go ahead and play, I'll ride the horse for a while."
Hearing that the emperor was going to ride a horse, Zhuang Jingjia handed the club in his hand to the female officer beside him and said with a smile: "Then I will also ride with the emperor." Seeing Zhu Yijun nodded, the female officer beside him quickly set up the curtain and asked the queen to change into riding clothes.
The horseback riding track in Xiyuan is built around Chuiwan Field, with slopes, rivers, and several low obstacles intentionally built. In order to make the queen and other harem women love sports, Zhu Yijun bought a group of ponies for the harem women to ride.
While the queen was changing clothes, the emperor's and queen's horses were already brought over. When Zhu Yijun saw his horse, he took off his gloves and gently stroked its forehead. Then he reached out and grabbed a handful of beans from the bag in Wei Chao's hand and fed them to his beloved horse.
The horse snorted and ate the beans in Zhu Yijun's hand. Zhu Yijun asked the internal supervisor who was serving the horse: "Do you run every day these days?"
The eunuch knelt down and said, "I'm going back to the emperor. The servants don't dare to slack off. They lead it and run twenty miles every day. Because they are catching autumn fat, the servants also feed it a fresh egg every day."
Ma Jun, the guard with a sword beside Zhu Yijun, also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I came to see Zhuiyin yesterday and ran with me for twenty miles."
Ma Jun was the adopted son of Wang Tong, a member of the Jinyi Guards. He was recommended to the emperor as a guard for more than two years. He was one of Zhu Yijun's most trusted people.
"Zhuiyin" is exactly the name Zhu Yijun gave his beloved horse. This horse was paid tribute by King Shunyi in the autumn of the third year of Wanli. It is as black as satin, with only a small section of white on each of its four hooves. When it runs, it looks like it is riding on clouds from a distance. It is an unusually powerful horse.
Although it is a divine horse, no one dares to be careless when riding a horse for the emperor, so they can only breed it and then ride it. This horse has a docile temperament. Zhu Yijun has been riding it for more than a year and has developed some affection for it.
After Zhuang Jingjia changed her clothes, she came out of the curtain. Seeing that the emperor only cared about his beloved horse, he pouted and rode on his pony with the help of the female officer. The horse was also gelded and equipped with a side-riding saddle - that is, a leg rest was installed above the left footrest of the saddle. When a woman is riding, she can place her right leg on the leg rest to avoid being straddled. elegant.
When Zhu Yijun saw her fluttering riding skirt, her short top and narrow sleeves, her handsome figure, and the attractive undulating curves of her chest, a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and the admiration in her eyes could not be concealed. Zhuang Jingjia blushed as soon as she looked at him, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.
Zhu Yijun gave her a thumbs up, then mounted the horse on his own, and the two of them walked slowly along the track. Seeing this, the servants on the left and right also got on their horses and followed. Because the emperor was impatient, they could hear the whispers with the queen, and these people were several feet away.
...
In the Liuke Corridor, Jia Sanjin was reading with great emotion:
嘘戈宝来baOlaIshI&#戅. "After the founding of the Ancestor, it has been the time of the Taizu. Since Jiajing and Longqing, it has not been the same as the Chenghua and Hongzhi. Most of the time, the accumulation of laws will lead to ruins, and the failure of laws will make them more powerful. It is just to strengthen the country and benefit the people. Since I ascended the throne, state affairs have been as follows I am deeply saddened by the fact that thousands of people are crying out for food, and I deeply feel sorry for myself. I deeply remember that the past decades of practice and whitewashing have led to this long-term disadvantage."
"Since the first year of the year, all political affairs have been reorganized in order to gradually become prosperous and powerful. It is believed that the salt policy, the development of Northeast China, the management of Huanghuai and other matters have gradually reversed the decline of national affairs. The gains and losses of the past can be the guide for the future. Since the fifth year of Wanli Since the past year, there have been those who use the glue pillars and the harp to talk nonsense about the laws of our ancestors and the teachings of the saints, making false arguments and making false distinctions between the old and the new."
...
In Xiyuan, Zhuang Jingjia asked Zhu Yijun in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did the morning go well?" Zhu Yijun nodded and smiled: "Well, after months of publicity and dealing with a few unscrupulous people, the noise is much smaller now."
After hearing this, Zhuang Jingjia looked at him with admiration and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a man of great courage." Zhu Yijun burst out laughing when he heard what she said.
...
"If the laws are not updated, the old habits will not be broken; if you want to cheer up, you should discuss the changes. Previously, I have asked the prime ministers, Hanlin bachelors, six ministries, nine ministers, and governors of various provinces to discuss the current situation, ancient and modern political figures, and all the dynasties and states. Therefore, when officials manage the people's livelihood, schools, industry and commerce, military affairs and finance, they should be reformed and provinces should be merged. Either by taking advantage of others or seeking for oneself, how will the country begin to prosper, how will talents begin to emerge, how will the expenditure begin to be prosperous? How to prepare weapons and start repairing, everyone will tell you what you know, express what you see, and write a memorial to listen to it."
...
"Your Majesty, after half a year of marriage, I have grown up a lot."
Grab, grab, grab. "Well, it's bigger where it should be."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summoned my concubine yesterday and asked some questions."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"...The emperor is disgusted, I will ignore you."
...
"Although we have not considered it perfectly, we must not fail to implement it. Today is the imperial oath, which is the general purpose of the major policy:
嘘戅 wonderful pen library miAoBik.Com戅. A, the purpose of the reform
