Chapter 783 The Carpenter Emperor 38
Daming's upbringing of the prince was unexpectedly outrageous.
Ordinary princes and clan children are basically raised as pigs, and there is no arrangement for them to go out to study.If the eunuch or birth mother around you can teach a thing or two, it will be rare to fully recognize the thousand-character script.
Only the prince who was established as the prince was treated differently.There are rules to follow for the scale and degree of prudence of the ceremony of leaving the pavilion to study.
But the emperor, who has already been enthroned as the emperor, should be three points more suitable than the crown prince if he wants to hold a reading ceremony in the pavilion.Sun Ruyou is adhering to this purpose, and presented the program of the new emperor's reading gift.
The cabinet's vote is supposed to agree with the opinion of the Ministry of Rites.
This is related to the important matter of the emperor himself, and the Wei Dynasty dare not criticize it according to the practice of the supervisor of ceremonies.He held this memorial to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and listened to the memorial from the Ministry of Rites that Liu Shimin had read, and then stared blankly at the cabinet proposal, pursing his lips without agreeing or denying it.Wei Chao waited for quite a while, seeing that the Son of Heaven remained silent, he poked Liu Shimin helplessly.
Liu Shimin pretended not to feel it.
Such a cumbersome etiquette is not much different from the enthronement ceremony. It would be strange if the emperor could agree.Besides, the "Enlightenment Collection", "Four Books Shujing", "Tong Jian Zhi Jie", "Di Jian Tu Shuo" and other books engraved by the Si Li Jian are also very good for the emperor now.
Wei Chao was helpless, stepped forward and bowed and asked, "My lord, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites are still waiting."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, no wonder Wang An, Liu Shimin, and Wei Chao were all taken care of by Wei Zhongxian, and together none of them could do things according to the master's idea.
well!I miss Liang Jiu and others very much.Those nines are so considerate in doing things.
"Liu Shimin, what do you think?"
"My lord, I think this etiquette is too complicated."
Wei Chao widened his eyes in surprise and half opened his mouth to look at Liu Shimin.Is it cumbersome?I went to look for the etiquette of Emperor Guang Zong at that time to compare it. It was because of the difference between the crown prince and the emperor that I didn't dare to rashly criticize it.
How dare Liu Shimin call it complicated?
"Then what do you want to do?"
Liu Shimin's answer was within Zhu Youxiao's expectation, and he continued to question Liu Shimin.If it can be adjusted/taught, I will continue to work hard.If he is as muddy as Wang An and can't get on the wall, there is only one loyalty to take, so consider his ability and arrange a suitable position.
"My lord, I will go to Sun Shangshu to see how to delete those trivial parts."
"go."
Liu Shimin stepped forward to take the booklet, bowed and took three steps back, and glanced at Wei Chao when he turned around.Wei Chao immediately came to his senses, bowed to the emperor, and chased Liu Shimin out.
Only after Liu Shimin left the main hall, Wei Chao caught up.
"Master Liu, please tell me, why does the emperor think this court ceremony is cumbersome?" Wei Chao asked beside Liu Shimin with a salivating face.
Liu Shimin looked at Wei Chao helplessly, this man did not have bad grades when he was studying in the inner school, he didn't know how to put his heart into it when he became a eunuch with a pen.
But now he has been promoted to be the supervisor of ceremonies and the eunuch who holds the seal. Wei Chao is his direct subordinate.
"The emperor doesn't like to waste time with cumbersome etiquette, and he also wants to save money. The emperor just wants to do some practical things."
Liu Shimin gave the answer directly to Wei Chao.
"If you encounter similar things in the future, you should go directly to Fang Shoufu and tell him that the emperor will not agree to such a suggestion. Instead of waiting for the emperor to stay and pretend that he didn't see it, it is better to change it to the emperor who can almost accept it." of."
Wei Chao's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this still possible?"
"Sigh. The cabinet ministers and the six ministries and seven ministers all want to help the emperor to do a good job in the court affairs. But when there is a big difference between the thoughts of the ministers and the emperor's thoughts, we have to come forward to mediate.
If the supervisor of ceremonies does not do it, when the cabinet ministers react to the emperor's preferences and undertake what our supervisor of ceremonies should do, we can only serve the emperor to dress and eat. "
Liu Shimin saw that Zhu Youxiao was holding on to the urgent and important memorial, so he knew that the new emperor was not Shenzong's no-nonsense temperament.It's not like Guangzong's good man.After the new emperor has studied for a few years, all the supervisor of ceremonies can do is to manage the inner court, and then deal with some meaningless invitations.
"That's impossible." Wei Chao immediately vetoed out of instinct.
"So this time our family came forward to take care of this matter, and next time you should be more considerate, and don't bring such a thing up in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can be embarrassed and angry."
Liu Shimin taught Wei Chao patiently.
Wei Chao suddenly realized, no wonder his master Wang An voluntarily backed down and let Liu Shimin be the supervisor of ceremonies, giving up the power of the eunuch of palm printing; then he returned the power of supervisor of the East Factory to Zou Yi, and he was only one of the supervisors of ceremonies. Ordinary Bingbi eunuch and director of Qianqing Palace.It turned out that the master knew that he couldn't understand the emperor's mind, and he couldn't settle the differences between the emperor and the courtiers.
If Liu Shimin knew Wei Chao's thoughts, he would definitely spit on him.With the eunuch Bingbi as the steward of the Qianqing Palace, everyone knows about the affairs of the outside court, and the steward of the Qianqing Palace is in front of the emperor's eyes every day.The emperor does not allow any eunuch in charge to have a foreign house to earn private money. Wang An's choice of position is definitely better than being the thankless factory supervisor of the East Factory.
Wei Chao immediately bowed his hands to Liu Shimin to express his thanks, "Thank you Master Liu for teaching."
Liu Shimin nodded, "You need to pay more attention when you do things in the future. It is the eunuchs who are left by the old emperor Shenzong who hold pens. The emperor will not choose them. But the people left by the late emperor, Zou Yi has already taken charge of the East Factory. , Zhang Bangzhao, Hao Yinru, and Liu Shideng are all under the name of Zou Yi, and they have already taken advantage of the eunuch Bingbi.
If you go back with your master, I will be the palm print eunuch and this supervisor, the person under the name of Master Chen (Chen Ju), will gradually have no place to stand in the Supervisor of Rites in the future. "
"Yes, yes. Master Liu's lesson is that the young ones must be more careful in the future."
Wei Chao went back to the office of the Rites Supervisor to be on duty, and Liu Shimin took Sun Ruyou's note to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate.
Sun Ruyou looked at the program of reading rituals for leaving the pavilion that he and his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, the head of the Imperial Academy, and others had painstakingly drawn up, holding the pen and refusing to delete it.
Liu Shimin had no choice but to persuade him gently.
"Sun Shangshu is also for the good of the emperor, but the emperor is impatient with these things, and it may delay the ceremony of leaving the pavilion to study."
Sun Ruyou had a headache, "Oh, why didn't the first emperor live a long life!"
Facing the stubborn and self-willed emperor, he felt that his teenage grandson, who was mischievous and always beaten, was simply the most well-behaved child in the world.
Liu Shimin pretended not to hear Sun Shangshu's emotion.
Sun Ruyou had no choice but to take back his notes first.
"Liu Neixiang, I thank you in advance, can I give you this brochure tomorrow?"
Liu Shimin said in embarrassment: "As usual, these things have to be registered and archived."
"Just treat this old man as a favor owed to you, and return it to you tomorrow morning. How about it?"
Liu Shimin reluctantly agreed, and repeatedly asked Sun Ruyou to be punctual before returning to the inner court under Sun Ruyou's earnest guarantee.As for how to deal with this paper, it is all regarded as that I disagree with the proposal, and I will go back and discuss it again.
At this time, Zhang Shize, the son of the British prince in Luoyang, and all the honorable children over 16 years old in the capital, have already driven all the guards and servants of Fu Wang's mansion to the open space of Fu Wang's mansion to look.After reading the imperial decree, those who stayed in Fu Wang's mansion knew that they were here to search Fu Wang's mansion.
The big steward who wanted to say that the imperial decree was false was kicked down by these nobles a few times.As for pointing at those guards to resist, Fu Wang and his son are not there, and they are serving as soldiers for Daming everywhere, so it is worthwhile.
Zhang Shize divided these honorable children into four groups, he and his three brothers led a group each, and planned to raid Fu Wang's mansion.
"Everyone has heard the imperial decree. Let me tell you the ugly things first: don't be dazzled by the property of Prince Fu's Mansion. All the property of Prince Fu's Mansion is military supplies. Our ancestors are from military camps. I believe everyone knows that military supplies have been used. , is the activity that can lose one's head.
Today I would like to add a sentence here, if anyone dares to secretly hide a little bit of money from Prince Fu's Mansion and ruin the future of all of us, he will definitely use his own title to make up for it.Put your minds on the right track, lest you regret it when you get there.Do you understand everything? "
Hundreds of Xungui disciples responded loudly to Zhang Shize: "Understood. I will never reach out."
"It's good for you to understand. All items must be registered. People in each group supervise each other and don't break things."
Zhang Shize yelled, and seeing that everyone understood what he meant, he took Xu Yunzhen, the heir of Duke Ding, who was assigned to him, to search for the study and account room of Prince Fu's Mansion.
These noble children, whether they were scolded or whipped by Zhang Shize along the way, most of them still tried their best to keep up with Zhang Shize's speed.As for the second sons and concubines in the team who had no chance of becoming a prince, they would rather wear out their thighs than Zhang Shize urged them to follow Zhang Shize.
Everyone understands that the emperor is willing to send errands and noble children, which is to give everyone a chance, and those who can't keep up may be eliminated.But if this errand is done well, it will be in the eyes of the emperor, and he will be favored by the emperor, and in the future there will be no need for the petty officials who rely on the shade of kindness to take the little money that is not good enough to eat or wear. It's time.
People with many brothers and low titles in the family are more concerned about this opportunity.Hearing the British prince's order not to reach out to Prince Fu's mansion, he immediately yelled to reassure Zhang Shize that he would definitely supervise each other, and no one would reach out to steal it.
The author has something to say: Zou Yi, (1555-1627) was a servant in the 41st year of Jiajing.In the 48th year of Wanli, he was transferred to the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of rites, and was given python clothes and jade belts; in August, Ming Guangzong succeeded to the throne, and was also the eunuch of Dongchang admiral.
In 1621, the first year of Tianqi, he retired.In the seventh year of Tianqi, he died and was buried in Jingmiao Temple, Mentou Village, Xishan.
Wang An, the eunuch of the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, was recommended by Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of seals and the admiral of Dongchang, in the 22nd year of Wanli (1594), and accompanied the crown prince.When Concubine Zheng conspired to make King Lifu the crown prince and "Guangzong" was in crisis, she was mostly protected by Wang An.
Guangzong came to the throne, promoted the eunuch Li Bingbi, and persuaded Guangzong to reuse Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and others from the Donglin party.
Guangzong died, Xizong came to the throne, Wang An assisted Tianqi to move Li Xuanshi out of Qianqing Palace.
In May of the first year of Tianqi (1621), Ming Xizong appointed Wang An to be in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies. Wang An declined according to past practice. plot to kill him.At first Wei Zhongxian hesitated to do it, but after Hakka's persuasion, he made up his mind, and instigated Huo Weihua to criticize Wang An during the incident, demoted Wang An to serve as Nanhaizi Jingjun, and then appointed Liu Chao as Nanhaizi's admiral and asked him to kill Wang An.After Liu Chao took office, he ordered that no food be delivered to Wang An, so Wang An had no choice but to dig up radishes under the fence to eat.Three days later, Liu Chao saw that Wang An hadn't starved to death, so he killed him directly.
Zhu Youxiao, who came through, promoted Wang An as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies and the admiral of Dongchang, but he just couldn't be "supported".
Both Liu Shimin and Wang An belonged to Chen Ju.The Wei Dynasty is under the name of Wang An.
