Prime Minister

Chapter 603

Chapter 603

At the end of the second year of Xining.

Officials come to Taixue to learn in person.The emperor's Xingxue is the ritual system of the week.

One day before the official's visit to the Taixue, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Taixue banned all entry and exit outside the Taixue.

The Taixue students cleaned the inside and outside of Taixue, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion swept the streets around Taixue and spread the loess.

After Chonghuatang, the inner eunuch set up a large order for the officials.

Zhongshu Province sent several waves of officials to inspect the details, adding details over and over again tirelessly, and rectifying the details.

After that, Taichang Liyuan, Yuyaojian, Yushitai and others sent people to inspect to make it meet the emperor's specifications.

The emperor Xingxue is a grand ceremony, so Zhang Yue has worked hard for more than ten days, in order to leave a good impression on the officials and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty in this grand ceremony.

Among them, the attitude of Wang Anshi and other party officials made Zhang Yue find it particularly difficult to deal with.

Since Zhang Zhi got engaged to the Lu family, Zhang Yue could feel that Wang Anshi's attitude towards him had changed for the better, but in the past few days it has suddenly changed, and it can even be described as moody.

Zhang Yue also felt that he was 'justified', whoever said that his eldest nephew didn't marry your daughter meant that I also lost face to you.

Lu Gongzhu is now on the side of Sima Guang, that is to say, he is on the opposite side of Wang Anshi.

With the continuation of the Xining Reform, a party struggle is inevitable.

This is definitely a more dangerous official struggle than the Qingli New Deal.

Having said that, Zhang Yue watched a lot of palace fighting dramas and conspiracy dramas before traveling, but now he feels that they are less reliable.In the struggle of the upper-level officialdom, there are actually not many conspiracies and tricks, such as the calculations of various matryoshka dolls. I predict that your prediction is not none, but very few.

On the contrary, the high-level officialdom struggles are back to the basics, and most of the schemes used are open and closed, and they are not hidden.

In the end, it is the word 'potential' that determines the outcome.

Therefore, this time the officials are lucky to learn, Wang Anshi and other officials are mostly in the mood to find faults and criticize them, so they must do a [-]% so that people can't find faults.

This is also Zhang Yue's temperament since he was a student and became an official, and he can't be picky.How do you want to make people not picky, then you must make complete preparations in advance.

Three days before Xingxue, Zhang Yue was busy.The day before, he was so busy in the Imperial College that he didn't sleep all night, and the next day he relied on ginseng soup to refresh himself. The energy he had to deal with for this emperor's inspection was even more tiring than that of the provincial exam.

For Zhang Yue, this was also a big test for the administration of Taixue in the first half of the year.

Finally came the day of inspection, just after dawn, Zhang Yue sat on the chair and closed his eyes for a while to rest his mind. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he immediately opened his eyes.

At this time, the eunuch came in and reported: "The chapter is to be ordered, and His Majesty's car will leave the palace soon."

Not only the emperor, but even the civil and military officials who were driving were waiting in the palace early in the morning, and came to inspect Taixue with the emperor's chariot.

Zhang Yue nodded and immediately walked out the door.At this moment, Jiancheng is speaking directly, and the lecturers and assistants are waiting outside the door.

They all followed Zhang Yue to the gate of Taixue to welcome the emperor.

After waiting for a while, a faint sound of drums was heard from far away.

At this moment, the sky is not so bright yet, and the prosperous city of Kaifeng in the past is still silent.

The reason why the officials choose to study at this time is because the Book of Rites says that the emperor inspects the study, and Daxin drums.

It is said that the emperor inspected Taixue in the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, when the sun was rising, the emperor's car slowly arrived at Taixue with the sound of the drum, and everyone knew from top to bottom that the emperor had come to inspect.

In the Song Dynasty, which must be called the Three Dynasties, all models are based on the Book of Rites.But it's not all. In the past, the emperor wanted to support the three elders and the fifth in the Taixue.

When the emperor inspected Taixue, he had to bow down to the elders and fifth Gengs in public.

But now?

In another time and space history, Emperor Qianlong once had a whim, saying that in the past there were rituals of three elders and five new generations, and I plan to restore it.

After hearing this, Zhang Tingyu directly retorted, which minister would dare to accept it.

Zhang Yue and the others were all looking forward to it, but they saw yellow dust flying in the distance.

The emperor's chariot hadn't arrived yet, but the imperial cavalry leader and Lu Bu came slowly, and they traveled a full two or three miles.

Immediately, the emperor's car arrived, and a guard of honor was set up in front of the gate of Taixue. Then Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Lu Huiqing and hundreds of ministers all walked around.

The official family stepped out of the car, and the sun was rising at this scene, just as thousands of golden lights were scattered around the royal car.

Zhang Yue led all the officials to shout long live.

Wearing a crown of heaven, the official got out of the car very easily, looked at Zhang Yue and other school officials who were waiting for him by the roadside, nodded and said: "There is no need to be too polite."

When they arrived at the gate, the official's family gave up their car and drove slowly into the Taixue on an imperial horse. Wang Anshi, Zhang Yue and other ministers and academic officials followed behind.

The Tai students are all waiting by the side of the road to see the emperor's face.

Sitting on the horse, the official looked at the Taixue's house and the newly repaired lecture hall in the distance, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The officials first went to the main hall to rest for a while, and after changing their clothes, they went to the main hall to perform the funeral ceremony.

The Shidian ceremony is also the ceremony of releasing dishes. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, officials were ordered to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the sages and teachers, before Confucius was born at that time.In the Han Dynasty, only Confucianism was respected, and Confucius was revered first as a teacher and then as a sage, so the memorial ceremony was to worship Confucius.

The memorial ceremony is generally held at the winter solstice, and the officials choose to come to Taixue to worship the ancestors at the winter solstice, the significance of which is self-evident.

The three rituals of Confucianism are respecting heaven and earth, ancestors, and teachers.

Officials to Taixue offered sacrifices to Confucius in person, expressing their respect for the Confucian tradition, but if you think about it together with today's reforms, you can understand the significance of this move.

The explanation of the funeral ceremony is the most important thing in this study.

After the memorial ceremony, the officials looked at the portraits of the ten philosophers.

The officials came up with a topic temporarily, and ordered the accompanying ministers and Hanlin scholars to write articles for the ten philosophers.

The officials were also in disorder, Wang Anshi ordered Yan Hui, Sima Guang ordered Zigong, but he was not qualified to attend Pang Zhangyue.

But the officials chose him to write an article for Zixia.

Zhang Yue and others complied while thinking and writing according to their orders. At this time, the officials directly asked the following imperial scholars: "The sage praised the gods, looked up and looked down, and began to gossip. The number of extremes, the great righteousness of everything, is unprepared, but Xia has "Lianshan", Yin has "Guizang", Zhou said "Zhouyi", "Yi" book, what is the reason?"

But I saw an old man come up with the first answer: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Bao Xi made gossip based on the picture of Suihuang, Shennong made it 64, Huangdi, Yao, and Shun followed the changes, and the three generations at any time, each with its own content. Therefore, "Yi" refers to changes; it is called "Lianshan", which seems to connect the heaven and earth with the inner energy of the mountain; "Gui Zang", everything is hidden in it. The emperor said: Huang Er wrote "Yi"

......"

Hearing the old man's answer, the officials couldn't help being overjoyed and said: "Qing is really good at Yi Xue. I don't know what position you have in Taixue?"

Fang Yan said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister's name is Zhou Dunyi, and I am invited to give lectures in Taixue for the time being."

When the official heard that the other party was actually Zhou Dunyi, he couldn't help being overjoyed and said: "I used to read Qing's articles day and night, so I don't intend to meet here."
