Chapter 20 Early Attached Phoenix Wings Climbing Dragon Scales (6)

The so-called worship is by no means simply to let the prince show his face, everyone sings a promise and then go back to their own houses.

When to move and when to stop, there are elegant music as orders. The order and content of elegant music determine the movement norms of ministers. Zhou Gong made rituals and music to distinguish the noble and humble monarch and ministers with rituals, and to be kind and harmonious with joy. The ultimate goal is to respect virtue and protect the people.

Therefore, in "The Book of Rites: Music" says: "The music is the same, and the ritual is different. If the same is the same, the blind will be close; if the difference is the same, the respect will be mutual. If the music is better, the flow will flow, and if the etiquette is better, the separation will be. Those who are in harmony with each other are rituals and music. If the etiquette is established, the noble and the humble will be equal, and the music and literature will be harmonious..."

Music comes from the inside, and etiquette comes from the outside. Now that music comes from the inside, how can external ministers ritual?

Zhu Cilang's understanding of traditional culture is not as deep as that of those Confucian scholars. He can recite the articles in "The Book of Rites" fluently, but he still has a long-term habit when he acts and is not bound by Confucian etiquette. This is why teachers unanimously recognize the prince's talent, but do not admit that he is psychologically mature.

For Confucians: people who cannot integrate etiquette into their bloodlines, cannot use etiquette as the highest standard to guide their thinking, and cannot show etiquette in their every move are villains and children.

Therefore, children who do not understand rituals and music can teach them, but villains who deliberately embarrass the civil servants must be knocked to the ground and step on one foot.

"Why aren't you playing music yet?" The official walking in front asked the guide.

The eunuch opened his mouth and did not make a sound. Although he didn't understand very much, he had never eaten pork and was often run away. He had to play music from time to time in the palace, but he did not need to play music when he met the emperor. Why did these civil servants specifically ask for music today?

"Don't be impatient!" The eunuch raised his voice and calmed down the officials of the East Palace. He secretly used a gesture to ask the little eunuch behind him to ask Tian Cunshan for advice.

The crown prince is also the king. If you want your subordinates to stand outside and show off, who dares to say no?

Although the civil servants were full of resentment, they only used dry coughs to express dissatisfaction.

The prince is not used to waiting for others.

No matter in the past and present lives, the prince does not have this habit.

However, now, the prince was sitting in the shogunate just arranged, surrounded by guards from the East Palace, and the high grounds were all over the place. Zhou Jing stood on the left and right and asked the prince if he was at peace with Wu Jue.

"Why haven't you come in yet?" the prince couldn't help asking.

"I'll send someone to ask now." Zhou Jing quickly sent a clever guard to inquire outside.

After a while, before the guard came back, Tian Cunshan had already run away and sweated. He had been in charge of two errands before, one was to ask for the order to issue the order, and the other was to go to the East Palace to pack up the books and bring them out. The first one was to serve the order to the prince, and he would be considered to be sold out. The second one took some time because the prince often read too many books.

After finally cleaning up, all the books that the prince had turned over five times this year were packed and transported out. As soon as Tian Cunshan left the Forbidden City, he met the eunuch who ran out of the palace. After listening to the little eunuch's explanation, Tian Cunshan was so angry that he quickly detoured through the side gate to Anleyuan and rushed to meet the prince.

"Your Highness," Tian Cunshan tried hard to calm his breathing, "Your Highness, we are in a hurry to come out, we are not ready to dance and music!"

"That doesn't matter." The prince said: "Let them come in and pay a visit soon, and then we will organize a department to provide disaster relief and epidemic prevention."

"Your Highness," Tian Cunshan was almost crying, "Dance music is not important? Without the music, how could they worship? Now these sour sacred sects are not what you are saying, saying that Your Highness is inappropriate to the ministers." This method of moving flowers and trees is the common trick of eunuchs to provoke the emperor and ministers. Even if they really confront each other in the future, eunuchs can be justified in the name of the servants of the Tian family.

"I'm sorry to them..." Zhu Ciyang said speechlessly for a long time, "Some small things, what's there to make trouble for? Who called them just now?"

"Your Highness," Zhou Jing said with a tough forehead, "You just said that you would summon the officials when you fall asleep, but you didn't say who to go..."

"Well, that's why no one summoned them, they came here by themselves?" Zhu Ciyang straightened his body and said to Tian Cunshan: "Did you see Master Wu just now?"

"Go back to Your Highness, I came from the side door." Tian Cunshan lowered his head and said.

"Coward." Zhu Cixuan knew that he did not dare to go to the civil officials, so he curled his lips slightly and said, "Go and see. If Master Wu is there, call him in. Just call him one, and the others will ask him to sit in the hall and have tea."

"I'll go now." Tian Cunshan didn't dare to wait any longer and hurriedly ran out.

After a while, Tian Cunshan was indeed wearing a gentleman in his early thirties, wearing official uniforms and white squids, which was the color of a fifth-rank civil servant.

"My minister Wu Weiye, pay homage to the Crown Prince. His Highness Qiansheng." Wu Weiye stepped forward to see him and bowed. He heard the prince calmly say "Not to tribute" as usual, and then stood up, waiting for inquiries.

"Give it a seat." Zhu Cixuan waved his hand. When Wu Weiye sat down on the chair, the prince asked, "Who summoned you?"

Wu Weiye was stunned, and carefully said, "It's true that he's so hot!" The prince has not ordered an order to summon the officials of the Eastern Palace!

"After hearing the clear order, I will naturally come to worship the prince." Wu Weiye immediately turned the topic: "I think the prince should not leave the palace."

"Why should you leave the palace or not?" Zhu Cixuan frowned slightly: "I originally wanted to summon a few ritual ministers and ask the etiquette of the Eastern Palace for the worship of officials. Since you are all here, why don't you come in?"

"This..." Wu Weiye is good at poetry and prose, but is not good at making changes. When the prince scolded him, his mind was even blank. He stammered for a long time and said: "If you don't hear the dance music, you dare not be polite to advance."

"You don't even wear court clothes, just want to listen to the lonely Yale?" Zhu Cixuan's mouth slightly raised.

Tian Cunshan's heart trembled, and suddenly realized, and cried out inwardly: What a wonderful thing! The prince's turnaround is really amazing!

Officials of the Ming Dynasty usually wore public uniforms with patches. Civilian officials showed civilization, while military officials showed mighty power, which was called "beasts in clothes".

If there are major celebrations, or the three important festivals, including the main festival, the winter solstice, the holy day, or the publication of the imperial edict, the approval of the imperial edict, the approval of the letter, and the system of the system... you cannot wear public uniforms, you can only wear solemn court uniforms from the Han Dynasty.

As an official from the Eastern Palace, he came to pay a visit after receiving news from the Eastern Palace. This is loyalty and commendable. It doesn’t matter if he is wearing a public uniform, but since he is wearing a public uniform, he shouldn’t be chewing on the dance music!

Wu Weiye lowered his head, looked at the hem of his clothes, and couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Cilang looked at Wu Weiye who was dull and unable to speak, and chuckled, saying, "Master Wu's poems are excellent, but as a future prime minister, he should also put some effort into the etiquette system."

Wu Weiye was the second place in the first place in the fourth year of Chongzhen, commonly known as the second place. He was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy and then was taught by the Eastern Palace. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the prince went to the cabinet to give lectures and the emperor listened to him. His lecture on the "Shu Shu" made His Majesty admire him very much and praised "Dragon Group Moon Pieces, Sweet Melon and Crispy Plum". In the 12th year of Nanjing Imperial College, he was promoted to Zuo Yude in the 13th year, and he was promoted to the concubine's son in the 16th year. If the country's fortune lasted for another ten years, even if Wu Weiye could not enter the cabinet, he would at least be a Minister of Rites.

Such a proud and proud officialdom was criticized by the crown prince for putting more effort into the etiquette system. What a big blow?

Wu Weiye's eyes turned dark, and he was depressed for a moment, and his tone was negative: "After I go back, I will keep my own care and think about my mistakes in my back."

"There is no need to be so anxious," said the prince. "The great worship affairs must be arranged. Master Wu is an old man from the East Palace, so I feel at ease when doing things. He also has to work hard. He will list the etiquette rules for ministers and hand them over to the central officials for arrangements. I only have one requirement. Nowadays, state affairs can save as much as possible. The money, time and energy saved may be able to live hundreds of lives. This is the way of a benevolent person, what does Master Wu think?"

"What Your Highness said is deeply in line with the essence of lovers." Wu Weiye hurriedly bowed.

When he walked out of the paradise, his sweat was soaked in the mid laner. He saw other colleagues waiting outside, and his head was shocked: I forgot to ask the prince if he wanted to summon other officials!
