The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin heard that the young eunuch in Jamshi told Li Dongyang that the knife was wrong.

In the past few days, he has not dared to go to Jamsil.

After Li Dongyang fell, Emperor Hongzhi felt deeply powerless. Many memorials needed to be reviewed and he was too busy from morning to night. He did not go to Kunning Palace to sleep for several days.

"Master Li is not here for the spring lecture. There is a shortage of a lecturer."

Liu Jian and Xie Qian were deeply touched.

In the past few days, there have been more than 30 more books assigned to them.

The memorials that Li Dongyang drafted on weekdays were divided among them, plus three court meetings a day, which took up an hour or two.

After taking Shuzuo home, the two of them could not finish reading it.

Li Dongyang was originally the main speaker of the Jingyan Festival. After his death, not only was there a lack of a main speaker.

Even Liu Jian and Xie Qian didn't have time to talk.

Liu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Let Hanyuan select a few more lecturers to include in the Sutra Banquet?"

Xie Qian nodded. It is now the fifteenth year of Hongzhi. The old ministers who started the dynasty, the best sworn officials, died of illness, and only a few old ministers who started the dynasty, Ma Wensheng, are left.

Emperor Hongzhi thought it was feasible: "I think Wang Shouren is good, so I will also add him to Jingyan, along with Lun Wenxu and Yang Kangle."

Wang Shouren was born in the Imperial Academy and was a disciple of the great Confucian master Wang Shouren. After repeatedly establishing military exploits, Emperor Hongzhi had a good impression of him.

Before he was admitted to Jinshi, Wang Hua often brought Wang Shouren to visit Xie Mansion. Xie Qian also appreciated Wang Shouren's talent and learning.

"I think it's okay. The three of them have been Jinshi for twelve years. They are outstanding and worthy of this important task."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said: "In accordance with my wishes, the first lecture of this year will be held tomorrow."

The Sutra banquet is divided into spring lecture and autumn lecture.

According to the previous practice, there were three lectures per month.

But Emperor Hongzhi was a hard-working man, so the monthly schedule was full.

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly. Zhu Houzhao was afraid that he would explode knowing that Wang Shouren was his teacher.

Historically, Wang Shouren never taught the Sutra Banquet.

After the joint impeachment attempt against Liu Jin failed, he began his life on the run and spent most of his subsequent life outside the capital.

On the contrary, some of his disciples became high officials in the capital, spreading the knowledge of mind and recruiting many disciples.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "In Yan Qing's house, you will be the host of the Spring Lecture. Don't let the prince cause trouble."

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I obey your order."

What His Majesty meant was to let him watch the show and not let Zhu Houzhao cause trouble.

This job is usually done by three members of the cabinet.

With Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian at the table, Zhu Houzhao asked less questions.

But now, the cabinet is too busy, so it gave him this job.

Early the next morning,

Yan Chengjin put on his unicorn uniform and went to the Wenhua Hall. He didn't want to get too close to Zhu Houzhao, so he sat far away.

But Zhu Houzhao ordered the imperial case to be moved next to Yan Chengjin.

"Lao Gao, who is the speaker today?"

"Zhang Yuan frame."

Yan Chengjin checked it specifically.

Zhang Yuanzhen was originally a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing. He was recently transferred back to the capital and promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Wang Shouren came and sat not far behind.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzhen, wearing a fourth-grade scarlet robe, stood on the podium.

"Your Highness, what I want to talk about today is the importance of cultivating one's mind and cultivating one's character in a university, and studying things to gain knowledge.

In ancient times, those who wanted to bring enlightenment and virtue to the world must first rule their country; those who wanted to rule their country, first brought order to their families; those who wanted to order their families...

To know first, to know things is to study things..."

Not long after Zhang Yuanzhen started speaking, Yan Chengjin started to urinate.

He stood up quietly and said to Zhu Houzhao on the side: "I am in a hurry, so I can show you a small courtesy."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the full tea cup and watched Yan Chengjin stand up with envy.

Lao Gao, a bitch like this, didn't drink a sip of tea, so he was obviously just lazy.

But as the prince, he couldn't leave the table midway.

Yan Chengjin walked out of the Wenhua Hall and was about to find a side hall to urinate when he saw Li Qing'e carrying the brocade box and leading the fat maid to Jamsil.

"Master Yan."

"Going to deliver food to Mr. Li?" Yan Chengjin glanced at the brocade box and warned, "Did Dr. Wang tell me that I can only eat light liquid food?"

Wounds on the body and improper diet may cause inflammation in the body.

I don’t know if Li Dongyang has an inflammatory constitution.

"Thank you, my dear sir."

Li Qing'e was extremely grateful, but she didn't dare to delay Yan Chengjin any longer, and was afraid of provoking controversy in the palace.

Yan Chengjin walked down the imperial steps, found a side hall, and then unbuttoned his trousers.

But behind me, a civil servant came hurriedly and said, "Master Yan, there is a fight in the Wenhua Palace!"

The Jingyan has been going on for more than ten years and there has never been a fight. Who is so disrespectful?

Yan Chengjin quickly picked up his trousers and ran to the Wenhua Hall with a whoosh.

I thought it was a one-on-one challenge, but who knew it was a group fight!

He quickly found a place to hide and shouted: "Bo'an, come and protect your brother."

Wang Shouren was holding Wang Hua, as if he was trying to start a fight and had no time to care about him.

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands, walked over with a smile and said: "Old Gao, do you want me to protect you?"

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked and tried to think back for a long time, but couldn't remember anything: "I woke up from sleep, and they fought together."

Yan Chengjin saw Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua furious, holding books in their hands as if they were arguing.

Dongnuan Pavilion,

While Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the memorial, the young eunuch stumbled in and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang Wenzhen has been beaten lame."

"Being lame... lame?" Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth slightly, in disbelief that something like this happened in the palace: "Zhang Qing's family was giving a lecture at the Wenhua Hall. How could they be lame? Who did it?"

Liu Jian and Xie Qian both looked shocked.

But the little eunuch was trembling: "I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi angrily slapped the imperial court: "Yan Chengjin and all the officials from Hanyuan are here, so many people, how could they not know?!"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to argue.

There were several officials who hit Zhang Yuanzhen. How did he know who kicked the lame kick?

"My servant heard that several adults were arguing about the study of objects in "The Great Learning", and then they started fighting..."

Emperor Hongzhi whispered: "What is Yan Chengjin doing?"

"Master Yan is hiding..."

Emperor Hongzhi choked on his throat and almost couldn't breathe again, "I should have thought of it a long time ago. Let's go to the Wenhua Palace."

A moment later, Wenhua Hall.

Yan Chengjin asked Zhang Yuanzhen: Does it hurt, Mr. Zhang? Can Mr. Zhang still move? Mr. Zhang, please say something quickly...

Zhang Yuanzhen was lying on the ground, his eyes shining brightly, and he was so moved that he sobbed slightly.

"Master Zhang, there is no need to say anything. I will seek justice for you."

Yan Chengjin said seriously.

Some time ago, when Wang Shouren was lecturing in Songjiang Mansion, Zhang Yuanzhen happened to pass by. After listening to it for half a month, he highly praised Wang Shouren's Neo-Confucian insights.

Today at the Sutra Banquet, I refocused on my study and interpreted the study of things to achieve knowledge in "The Great Learning".

When he talked about the unity of knowledge and action, he was refuted by the ministers.

Zhang Yuanzhen was not convinced and started arguing.

Young civil servants are easily impulsive...

Yan Chengjin felt the atmosphere was stagnant, and turned around to see that Emperor Hongzhi had arrived.

"I see your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master Zhang asked Master Yang and others to use their eyes to familiarize themselves with the bowl of uncooked rice. Master Yang and others felt insulted, so they had an argument..." Yan Chengjin pointed to the bowl of uncooked rice on the desk.

The reason for today's late update is actually stuck in the debate on mind science. It's too serious and I guess readers won't be interested. There was originally a long discussion here, and I checked a lot of information, but finally... deleted it. I wanted to write a funny version, but it was too childish, so I struggled a bit... Sorry, sorry
