In the fog in the early morning, there was still a vague smell of pollution from fireworks and firecrackers.
The messy items that can be seen from time to time and not yet cleaned up in the imperial city are all the remnants of the Lantern Festival night decorating the palace and celebration programs.
These things are not visible to ordinary people, after all, there are many people in the palace who maintain tidyness.
In view of the fact that since the end of last year, Zhu Gaoxu has been participating in various rituals in a regular manner and diligent in the morning court and sacrifices to calm the anger of heaven; just after the Lantern Festival, Hu Yi, the Minister of the Cabinet and Minister of Rites, submitted a memorial, asking for the reopening of the Seminar Day this spring.
The Classic Session was a reading activity held by the post-Song Dynasty, scholars and emperors; the lecturers mainly talked about the meaning of ancient classics and classics, as well as history.
But all history is contemporary history. Civil officials will use the past to describe the present and take the opportunity to put forward political propositions and implicit advice to the emperor.
Zhu Gaoxu won the throne through war. Since ascending the throne, he has been busy with personnel integration and military activities and has never held a lecture.At this time, the ministers may feel that the time has come to restore the important system.
Just after the New Year, everything seems to be on the right track quickly.
This reminded Zhu Gaoxu of his profound feelings when he was a child.
During the Chinese New Year, people are immersed in the lively festivals and the joy of gatherings of relatives and friends; but whenever the Lantern Festival is over, adults immediately resume their boring living activities.
All the families in the countryside began to prepare seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, and repair the fields.
Perhaps this is tradition, and traces can be felt in the Ming Dynasty.From the emperor to the ministers and common people, they all entered the state according to the seasons and in a step-by-step manner.
However, the first thing Zhu Gaoxu has to deal with this year is the affair between his ministers.
A part of the southern fleet returned from Annan Kingdom. Hou Xian landed in Liujiaxiang and took the lead in Beijing to report on Liu Sheng’s private affairs.
Then Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, also came to Rouyi Hall to tell Zhu Gaoxu about another strange affair with a man and a woman.
Because Zhu Gaoxu has been doing morning courts every day recently, almost all his offices after morning courts are in Rouyi Hall.
Rouyi Hall is closer to the Imperial Gate and Fengtian Gate. After Zhu Gaoxu went to the court, he could see Rouyi Hall immediately after passing the Wulou to the northwest.
The Donghunting Pavilion is located north of Ganqing Gate and closer to the living area of the harem. When the emperor was in the harem, it was more suitable for political activities there.
When Zhu Gaoxu met Zhang Sheng today, there were eunuch Wang Gui and young supervisor Hou Xian around him. In addition, Miaojin was also in the hall.
Just like the abolition of the imperial lectures a while ago, the daily officials may not have been set up for a long time. Miaojin can act as a person who records some court affairs, and it does not need to be disclosed.
Zhang Sheng verbally narrated: There were so many people on the Lantern Festival, and the woman paraded on the street and watched the lights without any conspicuousness.The Hu Madam and his mother went out and took the opportunity to escape from the middle of the journey and went to meet Xie Zhenliang, the eldest son of the Jin family. It was also because the Hu family searched around the lantern market, which caused ups and downs.Mrs. Hu went home in the middle of the night. When this incident came out, the Hu family was afraid that it would not be able to step down.
Did you do it? Zhu Gaoxu immediately changed his words, what? What did the two of them do together?
Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said: Report to the emperor, no one knows about this.I am afraid that only Xie Zhenliang and Hu Niangzi will know it.
He then said: Mr. Hu (Hu Guang) was furious and locked his daughter at home and kept her under strict supervision, so she was not allowed to go out.However, Weichen sent someone to inquire about this matter and Madam Hu had already found out twice in a few days.Yesterday, when Weichen met Mr. Hu in Qianbulang, he saw that his eyes were dull and his face was frowning.
Zhang Sheng paused and said in a deep voice: This Hu and resolve the grievances between the two families.Mr. Hu and Jie Shishu were classmates and had already had a marriage contract with their children.Later, the two became a grudge. Mr. Hu tore up the engagement, and Xie Jin repeatedly promoted the jokes about "optimism about pigs" to Mr. Hu, which made everyone know about it.They are incompatible...
I have heard of those things too.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Being confident in promises and being moral and honest are the ethics that civil servants care about the most.
Hu Guang and Xie Jin attacked each other in this regard, and their hatred must be very deep.
As a result, the two children had an affair, and this matter was in trouble.
Zhu Gaoxu also thought of Romeo and Juliet, which was probably similar to the current plot.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I will think about it before talking about it.
Zhang Sheng knelt down and bowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness and leave."
In contrast, Liu Sheng’s affairs are simpler.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Hou Xian and said: When Liu Sheng arrives in Beijing, you go and see him.You want Liu Sheng to understand what I mean, and I agree to him decide on family affairs according to his own wishes, without any objection; but at the same time, you cannot say too sure.Do you understand how to communicate?
Hou Xian was stunned for a moment and bowed to him and said: Go back to the emperor, I understand.
Miaojin casts admiring eyes, and women seem to be happy about such emotional things.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, Zhu Gaoxu said again: Liu Sheng valued kindness and neglected the benefits brought by marriage, which is not a bad thing. What's more, Liu Sheng is a capable general under my command, how can I not make sense of this matter?
However, the Ruan family had a husband and had not been retired yet, and the plot was a betrayal; Liu Sheng could not put up the stage even if he seized someone's wife.Even if Ruan Jian is a sinner, he cannot reverse the ethics and morals of couples such as Chang Gang, and there must be controversy.If I publicly support Liu Sheng, it will cause unnecessary trouble.The king and his subjects understand each other and do things tacitly, so that they can go smoothly.
Miao Jin said: The emperor has thought it carefully.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and smiled, then looked back at the eunuch Hou Xian.Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: These eunuchs can indeed serve as communication links between the monarch and the ministers.
Sometimes when the king and his subjects meet, they cannot communicate properly.
Just like making an article, you must find the source of the saint's words for the article, and there are often clichés in conversations between people.
Accurately mastering the speech routines of each occasion can be like a fish in communication; until later generations.
However, such communication lacks the in-depth and accurate nature of the communication. Although those clichés that have been refined and refined are rich in meaning, they often express vague meanings.
As an emperor, Zhu Gaoxu often had to speak clichés to avoid excessive interpretation and omissions.At this time, eunuchs can reduce a lot of trouble by mediating them.
Zhu Gaoxu made such a decision about Liu Sheng, and he also felt that it might be a good thing for a general like Liu Sheng to marry an Annan person.
After all, the marriage between the nobles and the royal family in the court has caused a complicated and complicated relationship. The continuous expansion of the clan power of the powerful and nobles has obviously been detrimental to the court.
The grudge between Xie Jin and Hu Guang will only be more complicated.
Miao Jin asked curiously: How will the emperor make a conclusion about the affair between Mr. Jie and Miss Hu?
Zhu Gaoxu said: I will meet Hu Yi first after the morning court tomorrow.In order to reduce the barriers, I plan to summon Hu Yi alone, and I will talk to Miao Jin later.
Miaojin nodded.
Zhu Gaoxu hopes that Miaojin will record some things so that after the descendants of the emperor ascend the throne, they can view the order of the court from a transcendental perspective...
Hu Yi recently wrote a letter to resume the lecture. He was one of the civil officials who voluntarily surrendered to Emperor Taizong, and perhaps he knew Xie Jin better.
The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu came to the attic on Dongjiaomen and privately summoned Hu Yi there.
Everything seems to be found. In the past, Emperor Jianwen secretly discussed the reduction of the vassals with his teacher Huang Zicheng and Zhu Gaoxu also summoned Liu Ming, who seemed to believe in the study of his heart. This attic, which was very inconspicuous in the palace, gradually became unique.
The accompanying Jinyiwei General and eunuch palace maids were waiting in the lords. Zhu Gaoxu stood alone in front of the window, watching the scene of a double-eaved palace.
Soon, Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, came up and immediately gave a great gift.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing by the window, turned around and said, "Hu Aiqing is flat."
Thank you.Hu Yi got up from the ground and immediately pulled his robe gently to keep the instrument clean as much as possible.
Zhu Gaoxu asked straight to the point: What kind of person does Hu Butang think Xie Jin is?
Report to the emperor... Hu Yi first responded, but dragged the ending sound very long, as if he was thinking hard about his proper words, and he was a Jinshi graduate and very talented.Taizu and Taizong both appreciated their talents.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he laughed and said nothing.Hu Yi bent his waist down a little nervously.
There are only you and me in the attic in this corner gate. No matter what Hu Butang said, he was not guilty. He refused to admit anything he said when he went out. Zhu Gaoxu said.
Hu Yi showed surprise on his face. After all, the emperor's words and words were very strange. Zhu Gaoxu could still say what he didn't recognize.
But it seems that there is no problem. No one testified, so Zhu Gaoxu really can refuse to admit it.
Then Zhu Gaoxu immediately talked about another topic: I understand the affairs of the court, and the most important thing is etiquette and personnel.Etiquette should be used to uphold people's hearts and increase the authority of our wise rulers and ministers.Human Resources are to use appropriate people to control various affairs and reduce disputes by governing people; the power of officials in each government is derived from authority and complements etiquette.Is this correct?
This statement is already very strange.A look of surprise appeared on Hu Yi's face, but he bowed: The saint is the wise.
And this is just a tactful expression of Zhu Gaoxu.
With his accurate ideas, etiquette actually focuses on brainwashing.
The repeated etiquettes aim to make the emperor's authority, the world's order of hierarchy, moral and ethics deeply rooted in people's hearts; if people repeat some forms and speech too many times, they will take it as a natural axiom.
Zhu Gaoxu first talked about Xie Jin, but he just threw out today's topic first so that Hu Yi had enough time to figure it out.
Then he talked about the court, hoping to induce Hu Yi to have a more sincere and in-depth exchange.
He paused and said: Therefore, the ministers' views are mostly based on the public intention of maintaining the government's affairs, and their loyalty is commendable.I understand it in my heart, and I understand you all.
Hu Yi's cautiousness has indeed improved slightly.
The messy items that can be seen from time to time and not yet cleaned up in the imperial city are all the remnants of the Lantern Festival night decorating the palace and celebration programs.
