    [1] "Forbidden Forest Chunzhi" Li Fang. Poem

    The sparse curtains sway and the sun shines brightly,

    The straight pavilion is deep and half-closed;

    There are flowers in one courtyard, spring and day forever,

    There are few edicts in all directions.

    The head of the tree is full of singing and singing,

    Newcomer Yan Yanfei from Liang Shang;

    Is it suitable for this body to live here,

    May the virtuous corpse know its own fault.

    Four days later, an edict [1] came from the capital, which reads:

    "In the power of Changsheng weather, in the protection of great blessings, in the emperor's decree.

    I only rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force.  And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the mainstay of the imperial court and the backbone of the country.  It is capable of both civil and military skills, and if you contribute to serve you, you can lose your achievements and not praise it for favoring your life.

    Today, the rebels also first Timur repeatedly rebelled against the court and harassed our people, which is a disease of the Great Yuan.  You have gone through many battles and battles, strategized and captured this thief.  His meritorious service was so great that he was awarded the title of Da Sima and rewarded him with a reward of ten thousand taels.

    The rebels also first handed over Timur to Shanxi Xingyushitai and escorted them to the capital, and the 5,000 troops they captured were handed over to the General Commander's Office of Gongchang Road Capital for disposal.

    In addition, I am very relieved to hear that Aiqing has recovered.  However, please go to Yunnan to appease the matter, a little slow.  Years of disasters in Shaanxi have resulted in local famine, and I am worried.  Er quickly went to Shaanxi to assist the officials of Shaanxi in disaster relief and rescue the people.  After Shaanxi stabilized, Fang quickly went to Yunnan.

    Another edict, Chengdu Xieyuan Wanzhedu, loyal and brave, rewarded two thousand, and his rank was recorded in the Ministry of Officials for future use.

    ? Imperial Order. May 22nd of the third year of Zhishun. Treasure.  "

    After hearing the edict, Wang Shouchang was overjoyed.

    I thought to myself: It's really a "pie in the sky", I didn't expect that I could get promoted and make a fortune by hiding in the Pujiu Temple to recover from illness and hide for leisure.

    Seeing Wang Shouchang's happy look, Liu Haohao asked, "Why didn't Wansheng be appointed an official?"

    Wang Shouchang said: "Well, he has already made a record in the Ministry of Officials, and when there is a suitable position, he will definitely give it to an official."

    "Then the Year of the Monkey?"

    "Being an official has to wait. There must be suitable vacant seats for them." Seeing that Liu Haohao didn't understand, he said again, "When some officials retire or die of illness, they can fill the vacancies.  Take office. Didn't you see how many Jinshi in the Imperial Academy are waiting to be filled?"

    "The point is, Wansheng can't wait!"

    "Why can't he wait? There are so many scholars who can wait, why can't a Juren wait?"

    "Because he is a Juren, Madam Yu is not very willing to complete Sheng and Meipan's marriage. The old lady always feels that it is not the right family If there is a suitable position, the officials of the Ministry of Officials, don't they have to squeeze those first?"  Is Jinshi taking office?"

    "That's natural. After all, he was a Jinshi who was admitted in a ten-year cold window, and Wansheng is a small scholar." Wang Shouchang smiled and said to Liu Haohao, "Who has such a good fortune as you, you don't need to take the Jinshi exam, it's just a fellow Jinshi."  "Born as an eighth-rank school secretary? You have to work hard, and there will be opportunities for promotion."

    "The edict doesn't mention my name at all, how can I be promoted?"

    "Are you still using the emperor to promote you? I have my own way, old man."

    "I'm not in a hurry, you can promote Wansheng first."

    "If there is a chance, I will!"

    "Isn't there a chance right now?"

    "Where is the opportunity?"

    "Didn't the emperor ask you to go to Shaanxi for disaster relief? If you catch a few corrupt and mediocre officials and dismiss them for investigation, then you will be given a place for Wansheng"

    Wang Shouchang smiled and said, "You, you are the most vicious woman!"

    "How is this vicious?"

    "At the very least, they have bad intentions."

    "Let these corrupt and mediocre officials occupy the latrines, but do nothing for the people, they have bad intentions!"

    "Okay, okay, I can't say no to you. You arrange it, and we will go to Shaanxi early tomorrow morning."

    "Okay, my lord, I'll go get ready."

    Liu Haohao walked out of Wang Shouchang's room in a displeased mood, thinking: I have put in a lot of effort, but I have not gained anything.  And you, old man Wang, not only got promoted, but also awarded 10,000 taels of silver.  You say you, can't you give me some?  Greedy old man, really stingy!

    [2] "Lai Marriage" Ling Mochu. Poem

    ? To marry a daughter, you must seek a son-in-law who is worthy,

    Poverty and wealth are always up to heaven.

    ? Marriage is a pre-existing predestination,

    Don't change lightly for the sake of heat and coolness!

    Ever since she agreed to Zhe Du's marriage, Mrs. Yu's heart has never been at ease.

    As soon as Wang Shouchang left, she planned toConcerned about how to refuse the marriage, she came to the west chamber to visit Wan Zhedu.

    Hearing that the teacher's wife is here, Zhe Du hurriedly took her into the study, where the guests and hosts sat down.

    Madam Yu said: "Wansheng, are you used to coming here? Please forgive me for not taking good care of her!"

    Zhedu said: "Thank you, Mrs. Ma'am, for your concern. The students are very grateful!"

    Mrs. Yu said again, "Wansheng, you can feel at ease here, you don't need to see outsiders, it's the same as at home. As for your marriage with your little girl, you should get married soon, but there is one thing, maybe you also know - your teacher told you five years ago  , I have already married my little daughter. But now I promise you again, one daughter promises two families, so I have to retire. No, today, I have sent Director Yu to go to her uncle's house in the capital to retire.  If you get an answer, I can marry you and my little girl."

    These words were all Madam Yu's response to Zhe Du.  The reason why she said that was just to delay the attack.

    Of course, Director Yu did go to the capital, but he didn't go to the capital to withdraw his marriage, but to discuss whether his uncle's family could get married early and to determine the wedding date.

    In the following time, apart from visiting the teacher and chatting for a while, Wan Zhedu would just stay bored in his own room or read a book for a while.

    Zhe Du wondered in his heart: Why can't he see the little junior sister when he goes to the teacher?  I felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing I could do.

    Notes

    [1] Imperial Decree

    In ancient China, imperial decrees were not fully called "sacred decrees".

    According to the book "Grand Views of Chinese Imperial Decree", during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the emperor's orders were called "Ming", "Ling" and "Zheng".

    The opening words of the imperial decree are not all "follow the heavens, the emperor said", but each dynasty has its own differences:

    In the Tang Dynasty, most imperial edicts began with the word "Menxia", because the imperial edicts were generally reviewed and issued by the Menxia Province at that time. For example, the imperial edict "Su Zong ordered the crown prince to supervise the country system", the opening words were: "Menxia, ??the foundation of the world  "It is also useful to start with words such as "Zhen Shao Ying Jun Ming" and "Zhen Shao Ying Chun Ming".

    During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the opening words of the imperial decree often used the eight characters "responsive to the weather, and received the order" to clarify the "orthodoxy" of the emperor.

    The highest god of the Mongolian people is Changshengtian, so the opening words of the imperial decrees in the Yuan Dynasty are always "Changsheng Tianli, Dafuyin protects and assists, the emperor's decree"

    It was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who first used the eight characters "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor Zhaoyue" as the beginning of the imperial decree.  In other words, the eight characters "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict" appeared in the imperial decree, which began in the Ming Dynasty.

    According to the book "Wanli Ye Huo Bian" by Shen Defu of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, he changed the name of Nanjing to "Yingtian Mansion" and named the largest Jinluan Hall in the palace "Fengtian Hall".  In order to show the legitimacy of his "Son of Heaven", he called himself "Fengtian Fazu", and engraved the four characters "Fengtian Fazu" on the jade kui he held.  Later, in order to find the "theoretical basis" and strong evidence of "Fengtian Chengyun", Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote his own article "The Dream of the Imperial System", which vividly described his dream of the Heavenly Palace, met the "Taoism Sanqing", and the Taoist man in purple clothes.  Grant real-life costumes and magic swords and other plots.  Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang began to call himself "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict", and when he issued the imperial edict again, he used these eight characters as his "opening remarks".  Later generations passed down the fixed form of the opening words of the imperial decree.

    What is worth mentioning is that the correct syntax of "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict" should be: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Emperor's Edict" instead of the reading method of "Fengtian Chengyun, Emperor's Edict" in current film and television works.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
