[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"Yes, but mother did not lie to her, you are mother's daughter, mother came to the palace today to really want my mother to meet you, it can add a good name or two to you, and it will help your marriage in the future, but it's a pity that my mother is too busy." Qian Ze Yu put Qian Jingjing's hair scattered on her cheeks back behind her ears, and explained with a smile.

Qian Zeyu led Qian Jingjing slowly out of the palace, thinking, Yan Lide's conjecture is correct, the queen is really unreliable, if she tried it out today, she missed the root cause.The Yan family and the queen are just using each other, the queen can't even show false trust today, how can they talk about cooperation in the future.Again and again, but fortunately they never pinned their hopes on the queen, so be it.

The emperor gave the final instruction to the prince. Although the court meeting was suspended these days, he summoned people in twos and threes, took the prince with him, and asked him to try to express his views on the important affairs of the court.The front court and the rear palace entered a weird stable period, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's health to get better or worse.

In March of the 16th year of Zhengde, Yan Lide was practicing calligraphy at home when he suddenly heard the bell ringing in the palace.Yan Lide listened in a daze, counting in his heart, dong-dong-dong, a total of 81 sounds, the sound of the emperor's great funeral.No, Yan Lide remembered that it was April, why did he die in March?Did I remember the date wrongly, or did I confuse the Gregorian and lunar calendars?

When Yan Lide reacted, a large ball of ink had already dripped black on the rice paper, and a single word was a serious matter.Yan Lide casually threw the brush into the brush wash, and the thick ink rippled round and round in the clear water.

With a sound of "bang", Qian Zeyu pushed the door open and came in, quickly said: "There is a mournful sound from the palace, His Majesty has passed away, you should get ready, you will enter the palace soon."

"Well, I know, it's just too sudden, I can't react right away." Yan Lide lightly rubbed the center of his brows, got up and asked the servant girl to help him change his clothes, but in just a short moment, the servant girl in the mansion put a white cloth smock on his outer robe, It seems that Qian Zeyu was really prepared.

Qian Zeyu helped the servant girl tidy up Yan Lide's clothes, and said: "I have ordered the mansion to take down the red lanterns, and the bright flowers in the yard have also been pinched. There are enough white cloth and gauze in the mansion. They are in stock, and the shop will send them to you." Come here. There is me in the house, so you don't have to worry. "

"Well, let Xuan'er take care of the family when I'm away. Don't let Xiaoxin go back to Uncle Anchang's mansion in troubled times." Yan Lide warned that Qian Zeda's newly married wife went too far, and Yan Lide was afraid that she would make a fool of herself at this stall. moth.

"Don't worry, I'll save it."

Qian Zeyu has long been a qualified mistress, and Yan Lide is very relieved to entrust everything in the family to her.

Entering the Qianqing Palace, the maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, the prince knelt in front of the emperor's bed, held his hand and wept bitterly, the queen also wiped away tears, and the empress dowager Zhang fell on the emperor and wept bitterly, the whole hall was surrounded by sorrow .Yan Lide silently walked to his seat and knelt down. He was already very familiar with this scene. 16 years ago, he was also in this palace and sent away Emperor Xiaozong. However, the prince who knelt before the collapse of the first emperor changed from a handsome young man to a Ignorant toddlers.

After a while, the clan, imperial relatives, military generals, and civil servants all arrived.

Liu Jin removed the imperial decree and read it out, the emperor's will, and the positions of the ministers were greatly adjusted.The frontier generals entered Beijing, and the generals of the five armies' governor's offices rotated around. Han Wen, Yan Lide, Liu Yu, and Yang Tinghe were appointed as auxiliary ministers.The emperor distributed the inheritance left by him. In addition to donating to the princes and princesses, there were also gifts to courtiers such as Han Wen and Yan Lide.Even Liu Jin got the rice paper, pen and ink he usually used, and rewarded him for his loyalty.

Liu Jin didn't expect to be able to leave his name on the emperor's will, and his voice choked up while reading it.The ministers kneeling before the dragon's collapse also had tears in their eyes, and they swore and swore that they would live up to the entrustment of the late emperor and do their best to assist His Majesty.

Yes, Zhu Houzhao was still lying on the bed, but according to the officials, he was already the first emperor.

Followed by the familiar process, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the Ministry of Rites took the lead in organizing the funeral for Emperor Daxing.When discussing the posthumous name of the first emperor, Yan Lide proposed the word Wu, which is of course a very good posthumous title. The first emperor also had martial arts in assessing border troubles and eradicating Japanese pirates, but Korean insisted on using characters, because most of the emperor's policy credits were still in literature and governance. Yes, newly compiled the Records of the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Yuan History", these are all achievements in the history of Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty loves martial arts all his life, and he often said that he wanted to conquer in person, but he never realized it in his lifetime. Let him do it now." Yan Lide discussed with Han Wen.

"You know Your Majesty very well?" Han Wen asked because he didn't understand.

"Three emperors and five emperors have made great contributions to Taoism, and the kings of all dynasties have built the middle school. Although they are multiplying and eradicating the world, are they working hard on behalf of heaven. What's the harm in following your majesty's last wish?" Yan Lide sighed softly.The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had made outstanding achievements, but the emperors of all dynasties also had their own successes. Yan Lide wondered whether under the influence of his own butterfly, the emperor would live a happier life than Ming Wuzong who was in the leopard house in the official history.In order to become a wise king, the battlefield, rivers and lakes, Buddhism and Taoism, and the leopard house that the emperor was thinking about are all far away, let him make up for him now.

To bid farewell to the late emperor's body, Yan Lide ordered a group of paper flowers from palaces, servants and animal gardens in the paper shop, inscribed them on the leopard room, and burned them to the emperor. Now, that's all he can do.

The posthumous title of the first emperor was certain, and everything about him was basically settled. The first priority on the desks of the cabinet members was to hire a teacher for the emperor.

The emperor was only six years old, and neither the Empress Dowager Zhang nor the Empress Dowager Xia was a woman with political foresight. They could only hide in the harem, and the government was completely controlled by the cabinet.As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Wen is very enthusiastic about the profession of emperor's teacher. When drafting the list of emperor's teachers, he included the entire cabinet and the military generals above the second rank in Beijing.

Yan Lide took the list and looked at it, and smiled, "Teacher, is there only these? Don't you choose some well-educated people or full-time teachers from the Imperial Academy?"

"Those people can't compare to the level of your colleagues." Han Wen said with disgust.

"Naturally, this is the reason, but Taifu and Shaofu have always been part-time jobs to assist His Majesty. I am busy with government affairs, so I don't have time to enlighten Your Majesty and teach the Four Books and Five Classics. I still need to hire professionals."

"I also know this truth, as long as everyone takes turns, I don't believe that the cabinet can take turns when they are on duty, and there is no time for His Majesty to teach."

"Does the teacher really not approve of Daru's full-time teaching? After all, we have no experience as a master, and your majesty is still a child." Yan Lide felt that professional things should be done by professional people.

"Don't talk about it, let's make it like this." Han Wen said angrily, "Shu Xing, I know what you are thinking. I have also seen the list of bachelors and lecturers you drew up. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. I will wait for you Do your best to help!"

"List?" Yan Lide was terrified in his heart. The list he had drawn up in private was actually seen by Han Wen. Who leaked the secret?Although his heart was full of anger, Yan Lide asked with a puzzled look: "What list?"

Han Wen took out a list from his pocket and handed it to him, and it was indeed Yan Lide's handwriting. "Where did the teacher get the list?"

"I don't know who threw it into my mansion in the middle of the night." Han Wen saw that Yan Lide did not deny it, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty has the grace to know you and me, and you are also a veteran minister who has gone through three dynasties. You must abide by the courtiers and assist Your Majesty , Look at the lists you have drawn up, they are all great Confucian scholars, but how can all the old scholars who are dead on studying teach your majesty."

Yan Lide couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher, where did you think? This list is true in my handwriting, but it is only part of it. Look at the word 'two' on the header. This is the scriptures and history I picked for Your Majesty Teacher of classics. I have been waiting for the court for a long time, and the four books and five classics in western Zhejiang are not as good as these gentlemen who have devoted their lives to learning. There are also "one" is the minister of the Ministry of Rites to teach etiquette, "three" is the military general to teach martial arts, and There are many follow-ups, and the work has not been completed, so I didn't talk about it."

Han Wen took it and saw that it was indeed the case. He looked up and carefully judged Yan Lide's face, and saw that he was not lying. He patted himself on the head and said, "Sure enough, I suspect that my neighbor is stealing the axe, and the old man has lost his sense of normalcy."

"Yeah, once you sit in a high position, there will be more people staring at you. You know that in the student hall, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is monolithic, but someone leaked a list, and took it out of context, and sent it off. Giving it to the teacher is obviously a way to sow discord. If we didn't speak up, misunderstandings would ensue. The people behind us miscalculated the relationship between our teachers and students, and not everyone has a clear conscience and dares to speak up."

"You and I have been master and apprentice, and now we are going to be provoked." Han Wen rubbed his eyebrows, sighed helplessly, with a hint of apology.

"The world is like this, as long as we stick to our hearts, we will naturally not be afraid of all monsters and monsters!" Yan Lide said firmly.

"Yeah, yeah." After Hanwen handed the list to Yan Lide fearfully, Yan Lide pinched on the word "two", he used to use binary to express true and false, on this list, "two" is true.

Yan Lide lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Yan Lide is 46 years old this year. Most Ming literati live a long life. He also has martial arts skills. He still has nearly 40 years to steer the big ship of Ming Dynasty.He was not willing to just be an unknown courtier, and put it as a foil in the Emperor's Chronicles and Records.

Today's dispute over the candidate for the emperor's teacher is just the beginning. There is a fundamental conflict between his and his teacher's concept of Han Wen.Nearly 20 years of teaching and caring, how moved Yan Lide was at the beginning, how contradictory he is now.

How can we not hurt the feelings of teachers and students, and let Hanwen agree with his opinions?Yan Lide thought, even though he knew clearly in his heart that this was impossible.As a standard scholar-official literati, Han Wen hates all ugliness, including himself who "intends to monopolize the court".

After Yan Lide returned home, he immediately checked. The body of the third-class boy who served pen and ink in his study was found in the abandoned well. After the autopsy, it was indeed suicide.Yan Lide laughed angrily, and before he could investigate, he couldn't wait to kill someone to silence him, and the people behind him were also anxious.This young fellow is from Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, and is an old friend of Yan Tieshan's tribe.Yan Lide speculated that the loophole came from the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion. Just in case, the entire system under his command underwent a severe crackdown.

Coincidentally at this time, the news of the death of Han Wen's old mother came from Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion.Han Wen is from Hongdong, Shanxi. Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion has branches in the entire county of Shanxi, and the news is very well-informed.Yan Lide checked it three times before and after, but the news was correct, but the mole had just appeared, so Yan Lide didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Soon, Han Wen also received a letter from the old family. With a sigh, he took up a pen and wrote a note asking Ding You to keep his filial piety.
