Jinyiwei's big Zaju is lively and lively, causing a sensation in the capital. Several authors are also proud of their careers and reputations, and there is no more joy in their lives than this. Although the scripts are all written in vests, and no one can take them off for a while, but looking at the essays, books, notes, and commentaries circulating in Beijing, the authors must have some secret joy in their hearts.
And in the middle of the show, there were more joys and more joys - the Hanlin Academy's "Xianzong Records" was completed and presented to the emperor on August 24th.
Compilation of records is the most tangible achievement of Hanlin officials, and all those who participate in the compilation must be promoted after completing the compilation. The Ministry of Personnel planned to supervise the editors and usurped officials of each level of official positions: for example, Liu Shoufu moved from a scholar of Jinshendian University to a scholar of Huagaidian University; Xu Xueshi added Wu Yingdian University scholar and household Shang; Li Dongyang is still serving as a lecturer. At the bachelor's level, he did not have enough qualifications for promotion, so he only served as the young minister of Taichang Temple, and received an extra salary.
And Cui Xie, who just got the position of lecturer just vacated by his predecessors, was promoted to the sixth grade in just over four years. The 20-year-old is a sixth-rank Beijing official, and he is still a noble yamen like the Hanlin Academy. He is more valuable than the highest-ranking fourth-rank senator before his father was dismissed.
The young Ying Rui had a bright future, and even Liu Shoufu had the urge to recruit him as his son-in-law when he saw his name on the playlist. Just thinking about Wan Shoufu from his in-laws, and thinking about Yin Sanfu, who was impeached so bloody, Shoufu still restrained his mind and wrote a blue batch of "should be approved" after the official memorial.
After reading the newly submitted memoir, the emperor also liked that the Hanlinists were careful and detailed, so he approved the petition from the officials, and rewarded each of them with 32 taels of platinum, 3 pieces of brocade, one dress in Luo Yi, and one new book made by the imperial government. set.
Qingshui Yamen like the Hanlin Academy usually can hold two stones of natural rice in a month, and the folded treasures are not as valuable as white paper in Gyeonggi, and they are often buckled and not issued. This reward adds up to nearly forty taels of silver, which is really a pleasant surprise. What made everyone even more delighted was that they didn't have to work overtime after submitting the "Record", and the money was paid out with time and space to spend.
Ever since the first imperial palace chariots, the people of the Hanlin Academy have been like donkeys that have been put on a grind. Everyday their heads up are historical materials, and their heads down are articles. Where can there still be the romantic qualities of talented poets? With great difficulty, the "Records" have been completed, and the new emperor does not want to repair any "Dadian" and "Bunko". From now on, they will be unconstrained celebrities again!
All the Hanlin arrived late and left early in the daytime, and drank and watched the theater at night. The days of leisure will not be enjoyed in the future.
Sure enough, after a month of leisure, the empress gave birth to the eldest son on September 24th, and the emperor Hongzhi finally had a successor, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also stable.
When the prince descended, Xu Qing, the goddess, and Xia Xian were happy together. The ministers were worried that the queen would be favored only, and their hearts to affect the royal family's branches and leaves were also a little settled.
Especially Xie Qian and Xie Zhuangyuan, I heard that the queen asked for a man and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. He was so happy that he had a son in his own family.
In the first year of Hongzhi, when the emperor should choose a concubine, it was he who gave advice and persuaded the emperor to keep a year of filial piety before talking about the general election. But since the emperor was persuaded that time, they would never choose a concubine again, preferring to keep Empress Zhang alone. Many people secretly favored the emperor, and pressed the empty wrong place under his knees on his head, making him seem like a demon concubine who invited the king to dote on her own but could not give birth to a child.
Now that Yuan Zi was born and the blood of the Tian family continued, he finally raised his eyebrows and was so excited that he even wrote several congratulatory forms. The maester picked it up and presented it to the saint.
However, even though Xie Xueshi was rushing to draw up the congratulatory table, the whole courtyard still had two days of shifts in a row. In addition to formulating a decree to sue the world and entering the congratulatory table according to the rules of the birth of the prince, he also specially issued a scripture card to order the court today. The middle minister made a compliment and prayed to the gods to bless the royal family and the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi was such a queen, and he only gave birth to this son after five years of marriage. It was inevitable that he was too nervous. Like his father, he thought of praying to God and worshipping Buddha.
However, for the courtiers, overtime can be tolerated, but the emperor believes in Buddhism and cannot tolerate it! After finally getting through the Chenghua dynasty, the immortal master and Buddha child, do you still want to come back to the Hongzhi dynasty
Xu Pu and Liu Jian had just written a compliment of the scriptures, and when they saw that the emperor was going to give a title to the immortal, they immediately aroused their vigilance against the officials, and they discussed that they would put on the table to persuade the emperor. Liu Shoufu, the impeachment pioneer of the Hongzhi Dynasty, saw the papers of the two, and also aroused a heart of loyalty and courage. When he wrote the pen, he added his own name before the names of the two, occupying the name of the most important official in the court. .
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zuo Shuzhong and said that he was "the Lord of all the gods in heaven and earth, all of Jiaxiang are blessed by God", and those gods and Buddhas were not qualified to bless him, he smiled wryly, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Although he is the Son of Heaven, he is also mortal, so how can he be the Lord of all the gods in heaven and earth... But the gentlemen advised me all with good intentions, so why did I forget the chaos of Li Zixing, Jixiao and others?"
It's just that his health is really not very good. Although there is an imperial doctor who diagnoses and prescribes medicine, the effect is mediocre. He still often feels tired and wants to find a way that is more effective than medicine and can help him do things well in the world. Although he knew in the previous dynasty that the monks and Taoists in the palace were all liars, he exiled the demons who pretended to be gods and Buddhas as soon as he succeeded to the throne, but when he fell ill and went to the doctor...
He sighed, approved the memorial, and listened to Er Liu, Xu Pu and Qiu Jun, who had recently entered the cabinet, reporting on Sichuan's capture of the neighbor's wild king. Exhausted, he returned to the harem.
Although Empress Zhang had just given birth, she was in good spirits and was looking at the eldest son at the bedside. Seeing him stepping into the hall, he got up slightly and saluted him. Emperor Hongzhi hurried up and told her to rest in peace. He sat beside the bed and looked at his wife and children, asked her how she was, and lamented that the imperial physician was not skilled in medicine, which made the queen suffer.
Empress Zhang smiled and said, "It is a blessing from God to have a concubine for the emperor to give birth to a brother. What kind of suffering? In fact, a few months ago, the concubine was worried that she would give birth to a princess, but she was a little nervous when she was about to give birth. Prince, you are already satisfied, even though it was a little more difficult at the time, I didn't feel bitter in my heart."
The emperor smiled and said: "I only heard from the father-in-law that Cui Qing's method of breathing and breathing was learned from an immortal, but I still don't believe it. It’s also a bit miraculous. When this brother is one year older, I will issue an edict to establish him as the crown prince, and those ministers will no longer have to go to the book to urge me to accept the concubine, and our husband and wife can stay together cleanly.”
Empress Zhang leaned on the pillow and looked at him affectionately: "Master Cui is a bit miraculous. The concubine once heard from my father that after the concubine got the empress dowager's arm and gauze, Master Cui congratulated him for winning the first prize in ancient and modern times. Son-in-law. It's been a few years since my concubine married into the palace, and I deeply feel the kindness of the emperor. Now that I think about it, Mr. Cui didn't offer comfort at first, but it seemed like he had foreseen today..."
The emperor was stunned for a while, and he thought for a while, and suddenly said: "In the past, I also promised my uncles that I would give him a house when Xie Ying, the envoy of the Fusi Town of Beizhen, would give him a house, so that he could come to teach the two uncles. However, there are not many major cases that have been handed over to the Zhenfu Division before, and the most worthy reward is the handling of Cui Qing's biological father's case.
Fortunately, Cui Xie has now been promoted to the lecturer. He not only displays books at the feast of the scriptures, but is also qualified to lecture on the meaning of the scriptures during the daily lectures. Well, there will be an excuse to reward his house in the future.
Empress Zhang listened to his arrangement, smiled slightly, and asked with a slight sarcasm: "Does the emperor want him to say 'I am good at raising my lofty spirit'?"
What the emperor wanted to hear most now was the word "nourishing qi". It just so happened that Cui Xie knew how to breathe and maintain health, and he was also a minister of the imperial court. It was better to call him into the palace to explain it than to call the monks outside.
He then issued a special decree to promote Cui Xie again.
The two bachelors Xu Liu and Qiu Jijiu, who taught Cui Xie, were a little worried that he was too favored by you when he was young, and he was distracted. Only Liu Shoufu issued the decree without blinking an eye, and smiled inexplicably at the three patriarchs: "Cui Shi said that he was once praised by the late emperor as a person who taught well, and he gave it to today. He has taught books. Now that his official position is here, what is the harm in asking him to join the Japanese lecture immediately?"
But he is too young and promoted too fast. If he can't study for a few years and cultivate a strong spirit in his chest, it will prevent him from becoming a great scholar and a famous minister in the future.
The three patriarchs had long-term plans and wanted to suppress him, but the Son of Heaven was extremely graceful, and Liu Shoufu had the aura of recommending talents for the country.
This imperial decree was issued in a timely manner, and Cui Xie not only entered the palace every three times a month to eat the scriptures, but he could also eat the working meals in the palace every day.
Emperor Hongzhi was quite patient, and he did not rush to call him to talk about the method of health preservation, but waited for him to talk about the chapter "What Matters is the Biggest" in "Mencius: Li Lou Shang", and boasted: "Cui Qing said this. It is right in the middle of the title, and won my heart. I have been adhering to the previous emperor's court since I was a child, and I have been conscientious and conscientious in the way of serving relatives and guarding myself. It seems that I am still teaching the scriptures in front of my eyes, but although you and I are like the old times, the former emperor has already ruled the sky..."
He sighed for a while, and said to the lecturers, "Gentlemen, let's go back for tea and rice, and Cui Qing will stay with me for dinner."
The gentlemen did not give much lectures in the Chenghua Dynasty, and they almost re-established the rules in the Hongzhi Dynasty, so the emperor left a certain lecturer to give a banquet, which did not arouse the vigilance of the scholars. Even Cui Xie thought that he was just eating a meal in another place, which was better than the food given by the lecturers, but he did not expect that the emperor did not invite him to dinner, but invited him to lecture on the scriptures.
After the lecturers retired, Emperor Hongzhi put down the air of honor and majesty, looked at Cui Xie expectantly, and asked him, "I just heard Cui Qing talk about Mencius, 'Keeping one's body is great'. In a word, the truth is just like what Qing said. But if his body is always tired and tired, his center is restless and hot, and he is often unable to read and ask things, how can he maintain his own ambition?"
