Rise From the Humble

Xiyuan is bounded by the Qianqing Gate and is divided into the outer dynasty and the inner court. Outside the Qianqing Gate is the outer dynasty and the inner court is the inner court.

There is a majestic and tall palace on the central axis outside Xiyuan. The golden glazed tiles on the roof of the palace are shining golden in the sun. There are several red pillars in the palace. On the pillars, there is a circling flying dragon carved with golden scales. Armor, claws holding auspicious clouds, lifelike, as if they are really flying around the pillar.

The tables and chairs of golden nanmu, the floor of warm jade with blue sky, and the lamps of crystal jade. The palace is full of splendor.

The name of the hall is: Main Hall.

The main hall was built in Xiyuan when Emperor Jiajing welcomed his first prince, imitating the main hall of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the first year after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he built the main hall in the palace as a place for the prince and princes to study and study, to make up for the regret that he did not receive a good education when he was a child. . When building the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to collect pictures and books from past dynasties, and at the same time informed the world, hiring famous teachers and scholars from all over the world to explain the Four Books and Five Classics to the prince. It can be said that the main hall played an important role in guiding the princes in later governing the country and bringing peace to the world.

It is a pity that Dabentang was involved in the imperial power battle in the Battle of Jingnan. As Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty came to Nanjing, King Zhu Su and Duke Cao Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome the surrender. After the capital was defeated, a fire broke out in the palace. , Emperor Jianwen disappeared in the fire, and the main hall that Taizu had worked hard for more than ten years was also reduced to ruins in the fire.

After the arrival of the first prince, in order to strengthen the prince's education, Emperor Jiajing built this main hall using Taizu's main hall as a backboard.

The main hall is taller, larger and more magnificent than the main hall. However, because the Jiajing Emperor's heirs were few and many died young, there were only three princes studying and studying in such a tall and glorious main hall at most, and now there are only The next two princes are here.

As the two princes opened their own residences and built mansions, their respective officials mainly came to the palace to teach and study.

Only when Emperor Jiajing had a whim, he would occasionally summon the two princes to attend lectures in the main hall.

Last night, Emperor Jiajing had a dream about Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang studied the meaning of his scriptures in his dream. Emperor Jiajing did not understand the meaning of the dream, so he invited the heavenly master Tao Zhongwen to interpret the dream early this morning.

After Tao Zhongwen made some calculations, he said that this dream should be about the prince. Taizu was concerned about the cultivation of the emperor's heir.

Therefore, not long after Zhu Pingan went to work, a chamberlain came to read the oral edict of Emperor Jiajing and ordered Zhu Pingan to go to the main hall to lecture.

Giving lectures to the prince?

It is a heavy responsibility and a great honor.

This kind of honor is 10,000 times more awesome than the modern Peking University professors, Tsinghua professors and so on. Peking University professors and Tsinghua professors are even lower than the Five Classics Doctors from the Imperial College, let alone the Imperial Masters.

The Imperial College was the highest institution of higher learning in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, it was also an educational management agency, equivalent to the Education Bureau and the highest institution of higher learning. Therefore, the status of modern Tsinghua and Peking University cannot be compared with the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty.

Give lectures to the prince.

This can be called an imperial master.

To be able to play for a lifetime, in Zhu Ping'an's impression, only famous teachers and scholars with long reputations can take on this important task.

No matter how bad it is, you have to have seniority like Gao Gong.

Therefore, when Zhu Ping'an first heard about it, he was still very surprised. Was he qualified to teach the prince a lesson? Did he hear it wrong? Or did the waiter send the wrong message?

"The Holy Spirit gave an oral instruction, and Zhu Ping'an, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, immediately went to the main hall to give lectures."

When the chamberlain repeated Emperor Jiajing's oral instructions again, Zhu Pingan was finally sure that he had heard correctly and that the chamberlain had not transmitted the message incorrectly. Emperor Jiajing had asked him to go to the main hall to teach the two princes.

"The Holy One has decreed that people should go to the main hall to preach scriptures!" Before the eunuch who delivered the decree came out of Zhu Ping'an's room, someone in Wuyi Hall learned the news.

"We have another chance, and we must seize it this time." Everyone was excited after hearing the news, and they were all eager to try.

Can you not be excited? This is going to the main hall to give lectures. Everyone knows what the main hall does.

Going to the main hall to give a lecture is to give a lecture to the prince.

This is the Holy Emperor's affirmation and great honor. This is an opportunity to become the emperor's master. Not to mention how awesome they will be in the future and how much aura they will have, just being able to have a good relationship with the future emperor is enough for them to grab their head.

There are only two princes left now. To give them lectures is to be their teacher. At least you can become familiar with each other and build a good relationship in advance. No matter which prince takes the throne, being a teacher will have many benefits in the future.

"No chance. It has been decided. The chamberlain who just walked over was the one who announced that Zhu Ping'an should go to the main hall to give lectures."

The official who knew the inside story shook his head and sighed.

Well!

What?

Actually let Zhu Ping'an go to the main hall to lecture? !

For a moment, after hearing the news, everyone in Wuyi Hall stared at each other as if they had been struck by lightning. They were stunned for a long time and could not accept the news. After that, mourning was everywhere, with painful expressions as if they had missed a hundred million. As if his eyes were red with envy for Zhu Pingan.

All of them were as jealous as rabbits.

This is going to the main hall to give a lecture! ! ! ! !

how so?

How could it be Zhu Pingan? !

Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.

"How can you let Zhu Ping'an go to the main hall to give lectures? How old is he?

"Who is Zhu Ping'an? What qualifications does he have to lecture the prince?!!"

"Zhu Pingan is still tossing pigs into the water. My holy lord, what qualifications does he have for a person like him who smells like copper and pigs' pee to preach to the prince who is so precious? My lord, you are being tortured by Zhu Pingan." He was deceived. He went to lecture the prince on scriptures. What scriptures did he lecture on, and how to do pigs in water?! This is pushing the prince into a pit of fire, my holy lord."

"Nonsense, who recommended Zhu Ping'an to the Holy One? Isn't this pushing the prince into a pit of fire?"

"Princes won't accept people who are similar to them or younger than them to give them lectures, right?!"

There was a wailing in Wuyi Hall, disbelief, dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction

But helpless.

The Holy Spirit's golden words are a done deal. They can't change anything. They can only complain and express envy and jealousy towards Zhu Ping'an, a man who has had such bad luck.

When Zhu Pingan went to the main hall according to the order and came out of Wuyi Hall, he felt the killing eyes of everyone in Wuyi Hall.

The look in his eyes made Zhu Ping'an feel like he was a monkey, a villain who picked their peaches with despicable means.

"It seems that I have become the target of public criticism."

Zhu Pingan shrugged indifferently and whispered to himself.
