/s日 pt>The Ming Dynasty's imperial lectures were held in Wenhua Hall in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City. Although the Wenhua Hall is not as large as the Fengtian Hall and the Huagai Hall, these main halls located on the central axis of the palace, they are the most frequent visiting hall by Emperor Hongzhi. It is closest to the cabinet lobby, and you can summon the Grand Secretary to consult government affairs at any time. On weekdays, Emperor Hongzhi's review of memorials are almost always in Wenhua Hall.

Chen Xi followed the Hanlin Academy and his colleagues from the Zhan Shifu came to the Wenhua Hall.

Judging from the appearance, Wenhua Palace is not conspicuous in the palace, but it is quite exquisite and elegant, and is unique among the many big red palaces.

Before Shen Xi and others arrived, the eunuch of the Silijian had already set up a volume of the four books, classics and history on the imperial case in front of the Golden Throne. After Emperor Hongzhi attended, if he had any questions, he could check it himself.

At the same time, on the two lecture tables in the left and right corners of the hall, each list is for the lecturers to compare with the lecturers in the lecture hall... Of course, the lecturers of the Japanese need to write lecture notes themselves, in order to be vivid and attract the attention of the listeners, including Emperor Hongzhi.

At the lecture, there are those who are specifically responsible for the lecture, and there will naturally be listeners.

In addition to the emperor and the prince who was married, the audience of the imperial lectures will also attend. At the same time, officials from the six ministries and the temple departments will also be invited, and there will be dedicated people to record and study... This is an official from the Zhanshi Mansion and the Hanlin Academy.

Because this lecture was the first lecture in the spring of the 12th year of Hongzhi and may be the last one before the summer, there were many Hanlin officials and Zhan Shi Mansion invited to come, and they sat in the mat behind the hall.

The lecturers of the imperial lectures are divided into knowledge of the imperial lectures and the lecturers and the lecturers are generally appointed by Hanlin attendants and lecturers. In addition, there are daily lecturers, lecturers and lecturers, and staff members of the imperial lecturers are different, and they are divided into two classes, east and west. The number of people depends entirely on the scale of the lectures and the arrangements beforehand.

Even if Chen Xi is a sixth-rank historian of the Hanlin Academy, he is not qualified to serve as an official in the imperial examination. At most, he is a small Hanlin official who sits at the last seat, holds a pen to record, and studies and thinks carefully. But in terms of rules, the future imperial examination officials will inevitably come from the Hanlin Academy who are listening to today, so Chen Xiquan should do his homework for the future preaching to the emperor.

When Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhang arrived, Chen Xi had been waiting for about half an hour. With Emperor Hongzhi's arrival, the seat promotion ceremony was first. Chen Xi and other civil and military ministers, lecturers, and listeners who attended the lecture, went on a five-day prayer and three-kow to Danbi, and returned to his seat. The lecture finally began.

As expected, the chief lecturer of this lecture was Xie Qian. The emcee was presided over by the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the Minister of the Honglu Temple announced the "lecture". One lecturer came from the east squad, and another lecturer came from the west squad. He stood north before the lecturer, first bowed the teacher's ceremony, and then kowtowed to the emperor. Then, the official of the book exhibition came forward to take the classics and history, and the lecturer's lecture notes were unveiled, and the lecturer's lecture officially began.

The order in which the lecturer gave lectures is to first the Four Books and then the Classics and History. The lecturer for the Four Books is in the east, and the Classics and History is in the west. The lecturer for the Classics and History is in the west, and the lecturer for the Classics and History is divided into two trains on the side. Wait for the previous person to finish the explanation and follow up to give a lecture.

It's like a speech activity, where all the people who want to give a speech must come in order, go up two at a time, wait for the two of them to finish their speeches one after another, and then change them.

The lecturers of the imperial lecture were wearing big red robes. As for the attendants below the lecturer, they were wearing green and green robe clothes. The censor and the attendant were listed on the east and west sides of the case, responsible for supervising the etiquette and mode of the lecturer. If there were any inappropriate times, they would be impeached by the letter.

After all, this is when he was teaching literature, etiquette, law, classics and history to the emperor and the prince. No one could make any mistakes in etiquette, otherwise he would be disrespectful. This time, Emperor Hongzhi was worried that Prince Zhu Houzhao had just recovered from his illness, so he simply did not allow the prince to attend. Emperor Hongzhi himself had plans to mention the old story of Jianwen at the ceremony. Before the matter was publicly discussed, it was a bit inappropriate for the prince to accept the new view.

Except for Emperor Hongzhi, no one from the royal family attended, but among the relatives, there were two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, one was Shouning Hou and the other was Jianchang Bo. However, the British Duke Zhang Mao was more respected than their status. As for other nobles, they were not invited to this lecture.

Whenever civil and military ministers attend the lecture, regardless of civil and military affairs, they must go to the palace to listen to the lectures in their robes of scholars and scholars, and they must be humble and receive teachings. There must be no noise at the lectures. Whenever the emperor has questions, even military generals cannot answer "unknown" and report truthfully according to their own ideas.

This is like an exam. The emperor does not allow you to have the opportunity to avoid it, so you must listen carefully. If you answer questions from the emperor during the lecture, and answer questions that are not answered thousands of miles apart, it will make people feel that you are not serious. At the least, you may be scolded, and at the worst, you may be demoted and punished.

As a listener, Shen Xi was responsible for recording among Hanlin officials. Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zan were in front of him blocking Emperor Hongzhi's view. Logically speaking, even if he was lazy, no one would notice it. However, this was his first time attending the imperial lecture. He had to accumulate experience and not be in a position without doing anything.

What's more, Shen Xi was very clear that Emperor Hongzhi held the lecture mainly to propose the "Jianwen Reign" in the classics and history. The "cause" of this incident was the memorial written by Xie Qian, who coerced him to find many problems in the review of the "Da Ming Hui Dian". It can be said that he himself can be regarded as the protagonist of this lecture.

At this time, even Zhu Xizhou and others knew nothing about this matter. Shen Xi guessed that the secrets were only Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Qian, Wang Yang and others. Moreover, Emperor Hongzhi only made this matter obscure statement and did not show the determination and attitude to restore the Jianwen era name.

The lecture officially began, and the lecturers who performed a series of complicated etiquettes retired respectfully, and the lecturers and attendants hid in the back of the hall.

Li Jie, a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, came out to talk about the "Great Learning" in the Four Books, and then the Grand Secretary Xie Qian gave lectures on the scriptures and history. This time he talked about the "New Book of Tang", which focused on the allusion of Emperor Taizong of Tang's struggle for the throne.

For others, there will not be too many surprises. There are only so many classics and history. Since we talk about "New Book of Tang" and Emperor Taizong of Tang, we will inevitably mention the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

However, Shen Xi knew that this was laying the groundwork for Emperor Hongzhi to propose that Chengzu fight for the throne.

After Xie Qian, Jiao Fang came out to talk about "The Doctrine of the Mean". It has to be said that among so many Hanlin Academy attendants and bachelors, Jiao Fang, who is 65 years old this year, is an outstanding talented person. If he hadn't been sharpening his head and drilled up. At the same time, he was disliked by many officials, and his prestige would at least be above Wang Liang and Li Jie.

But the problem is that Jiao Fang knows how to cater to the best. Even Emperor Hongzhi thought this person was not very reliable. In the old story of Jianwen, Jiao Fang, the young minister of Taichang Temple and the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, did not inform him of him. He was foolish in the way of the mean, thinking that he was wonderful and could be appreciated by the emperor.

In fact, according to historical development, Jiao Fang did rely on his good management to enter the cabinet, but he catered to Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao and Eunuch Liu Jin. Chen Xi would not be biased against Jiao Fang because many things in the power field cannot be evaluated by right or wrong. It cannot be said that Jiao Fang went with the flow and catered to Liu Jin, so he denied his academic and official achievements, but he was scruples about his reputation of being "meaning to southerners", so he would rather stay away from him.

After Jiao Fang, there were several Japanese lecturers from the left and right Chunfang. What they said was still concentrated in the classics, history, and the content involved was mostly often found in the Ministry of Rites and palace examinations. Emperor Hongzhi never asked questions because whether it was the "Four Books", "Five Classics", or historical books, they were all clichés and there was nothing to ask about.

The last lecture is Wang Yang, the youngest Zhan Shifu and the attendant scholar of the Hanlin Academy. What he said is the historical material issue of this dynasty derived from the revision of the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

When Wang Yang started speaking since the Hongwu year, some people were present to notice something was different, especially those who received the news in advance, including those who recently mentioned Hongwu and the officials of the Hanlin Academy who were mentioned twice by Emperor Hongzhi and the Marquis of Shouning.

When Wang Yang mentioned that Taizong issued the "Public List" after Taizu, Emperor Hongzhi's face changed a little, but he did not interrupt Wang Yang. After Wang Yang roughly explained the rules promulgated by Taizong, Emperor Hongzhi began to ask questions.

"Why did the court not promulgate the statutes between the 32nd year of Hongwu and the 35th year of Hongwu?" Zhu Youzhang looked at Wang Yang, "Wang Aiqing. Do you know?"

At this time, Xie Qian walked out and knelt down to submit a memorial, saying, "When the Hanlin Academy was writing the "Huidian", there were many mistakes and omissions in the historical revision. The memorial was in the cabinet, but there was no conclusion yet. I beg Your Majesty to read it again."

Zhu Youzhang stretched out his hand and said to Sili Supervisor: "Come on."

Although some ministers present did not understand the situation, they all felt that things were not right. Today is the day of the imperial court, not the court meeting. Emperor Hongzhi would not "review" the memorial on such occasions on weekdays. Even if Emperor Hongzhi himself had a temporary intention, Xie Qian, as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, could not not know this rule.

In the lecture that pays great attention to etiquette and law, Xie Qian was so "predictable". Is he trying to be impeached by the Censor and the Censor?

At this time, the censor pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he had not noticed that there was anything wrong with Xie Qian's presentation at the lecture.

This can only explain one problem. Xie Qian's memorial was intentionally arranged by Emperor Hongzhi, and the matter discussed at the imperial examination today should also be related to the memorial submitted by Xie Qian. Wang Yang happened to talk about the old things of Hongwu and Yongle Dynasty. Needless to say, the key to the problem lies in the "four years that disappeared from historical records."

At this time, Chen Xi was mixed with feelings. He originally wanted Zhang Heling to answer questions and temporarily cover up his memorial, but who expected that Xie Qian's presentation would be so direct. Judging from Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's attitude, these two Emperors of Hongzhi should have passed the qi in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so calm.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "I won't say that this is what I proposed in the next step, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi pretended to behave and carefully read the contents of the memorial. After putting down the memorial, he sighed slightly: "My Emperor Taizu was ordered to open up the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. When Emperor Taizong came to peace in all directions, it was a blessing for all things in the world. However, the events at the end of Hongwu were turbulent, but I don't know which minister could solve my doubts?"

After Emperor Hongzhi said this, his face was full of vicissitudes, as if someone was in a hurry to come out and take a look.

Because the ministers present did not ask the specific person, they were worthy of being the outstanding elite representatives of Confucianism, and they all perfectly showed the Confucian "the doctrine of the mean"... It is of great importance. As long as I don't ask, I will not reply.

Just when Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed slightly, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, got up from the seat, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down to Emperor Hongzhi, and said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, I have read the history books before, and I have some experience, and I may be able to solve your doubts."
