Chapter 389: Talking about the day

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the second day of April, it was time for the lectures at the Sutra Banquet again.

    Since the Han and Tang dynasties, Jingyan lecturers have been the imperial lecturers for emperors to give lectures on scriptures and history. They are the highest-level lecture hall in a country.

    As a common practice in the country, when the climate is mild in spring and autumn every year, a menstrual feast will be held on the second day of the moon.

    On the second, twelfth, and twenty-second day of the lunar month, all cabinet ministers, ministers, and ministers with titles must attend the banquet.  Even the Hanlin Ci ministers and Kedao orators had to take turns to attend the lectures.

    The person responsible for giving lectures is called "Japanese Lecturer", and they are only selected from the Imperial Academy.

    Therefore, if Emperor Longqing wants Zhao Hao to give lectures on the stage, he must first give him Hanlin status.

    As for the lecture content, it is not limited to classics and history. Some special topics will be added as appropriate according to the emperor's personal interests.

    For example, during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, he taught about the art of war and the postpartum care of war horses, and during the reign of the late emperor, he offered two interest courses: "Appreciation of Qing Ci" and "How to Make Good Pills".

    Therefore, Emperor Longqing temporarily proposed that someone should talk about the science that has become popular in Beijing recently. Compared with the two former emperors, it is not excessive at all.

    Well, at least that¡¯s what everyone thought before the lecture started.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao got up early that day and rechecked the teaching aids with his apprentices in the room. He then pre-taught the course content, analyzed possible areas of attack, and made a plan for how to fight back.

    The appearance of facing a powerful enemy has never been seen before.

    Because this lecture has a lot to do with it.

    Zhao Hao is not going to avoid the important points and talk in general terms like he did when giving lectures at Lingji Palace.

    He is going to come up with something real and re-establish the rules of the universe in the name of science!

    This is not only a practical need for Xiao Ge Lao, but also the only way for scientific development.

    Science is all about having the courage to make progress. How can we always cower in the safe zone? We have to take this step!

    As for the consequencesit shouldn't be too serious, right?

    ¡®After all, Ming Dynasty was still very open-minded towards heresy in the academic field.  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao looked in the mirror and comforted himself: ¡°I am not in Europe, and the Inquisition has no control over me¡±

    "Young master, are you satisfied with it?" Ma Xianglan put on the grass green round-collar official robe for him, tied it with a black horn belt, and then firmly put on the black gauze official hat.

    "Well, it doesn't suit me very well." Zhao Hao looked at the green national defense official robe on his body and the rather shabby pair of quail patches on his chest. The joy of the previous few days was gone.

    "Young Master is a little nervous." Ma Xianglan used her slender fingers to smooth the collar of his snow-white mid laner.

    "I might be beheaded." Zhao Hao joked.

    "Then just say less." Ma Xianglan's heart tightened.

    "Someone has to tell me." Zhao Hao said lightly: "Since the advent of telescopes, many things cannot be hidden."

    As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "How can I give up this honor to others?"

    "Well, the young master really seems to be different." Ma Xianglan looked at him with charming eyes, and then said firmly: "Let me play a song for the young master."

    "Those who know me, Sister Xianglan." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "I also want to listen to the song "Ding Fengbo"."

    "Okay." Ma Xianglan looked at him deeply, and the scene when she played last time was still vivid in her mind.  But the young master has grown from a small restaurant owner to the brightest star in the Ming Dynasty.

    "Xianglan will always be by your side." After saying this with a red face, she sat down on the piano table, took a deep breath, plucked the strings, lightly opened her red lips and sang:

    "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not just scream and walk slowly"

    Amidst the free and uninhibited music of the piano, Zhao Hao walked out the door.

    Seven disciples and Zhao Shizhen had been waiting there for a long time, and they all paid him the highest salute.

    "The bamboo stick and mango shoes are lighter than the horse, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the misty rain."

    As Ma Xianglan sang, Zhao Hao bowed deeply to his grandfather and father, and after standing up, he said loudly: "Let's go."

    Everyone followed him and filed out of the house.

    "The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it's slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly."

    The master and apprentice, father and son, took several carriages and headed towards Donghua Gate.

    Until I can no longer hear the sound of ¡®there is no wind or rain nor sunshine¡¯

    ??~~

    Usually the prayer feast is held in the morning, but there are exceptions.

    For example, today, it was not until the Shen Dynasty that Emperor Longqing took the lead in arriving at the Wenhua Hall, accompanied by twenty Han generals and the retinue of the chief ministers of ceremony.

    In this extremely elegant placeIn the middle of the war, the generals of the Han Dynasty also dispensed with their armor and wore red flying fish uniforms. They were only equipped with embroidered spring knives and did not bring any extravagant household items such as pumpkins and golden maces.

    After the emperor sat down on the dragon chair facing south, Teng Xiangcai loudly announced to all the officials to come in and salute His Majesty in a formal manner.

    Then, the officials of Honglu Temple placed a writing table in front of the throne for the holy scriptures; another one was placed a few steps away, which was the podium for official lectures.

    After the arrangements were completed, the officials who attended the lecture filed in according to their shifts, lined up on the left and right sides of the desk, and then followed the instructions of the salute officer to perform a series of tedious rituals.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao is not among them. As one of the lecturers today, he has to wait in the side hall.

    In addition to him, there are two Japanese officials in the side hall, and they are both acquaintances - one is Wang Xijue and the other is Shen Shixing.

    Chef Wang is upright and free-spirited, and he can't stop talking in situations like this.

    Wang Xijue leaned close to Zhao Hao and whispered: "Be careful, Mr. Xu Ge sent a message the day before yesterday, asking the Hanlin Academy and Qin Tian Jian to be prepared to refute every word of yours."

    Shen Shixing looked at the chef helplessly and said in his heart, traitor.

    "As long as you two don't take action, I'm not afraid of anyone." Zhao Hao had adjusted his mood now.

    "Awesome!" Seeing that he was still interested in joking, Chef Wang gave a thumbs up and said: "We will try to shorten it as much as possible to give you more time."

    Shen Shixing secretly lamented that he was careless in making friends, so he had no choice but to smile and nod.

    At this time, the official of the banquet announced that the two of them were going to give a lecture.

    Shen Shixing bowed his hand to Zhao Haogong and left the side hall without saying a word.

    "This guy is too cautious." Wang Xijue grinned and followed him out.

    Zhao Haoxin said, can a child who grew up under someone else¡¯s roof be the same as you, a big dog whose father loves your mother?

    He then paid attention to watch the two lectures to avoid any omissions in etiquette later.

    After Shen Shi saluted, he stood in front of the podium and began to speak.  After he finished speaking, he closed his copy of "Explanations of the Great Learning" and retreated to the other side, where Wang Xijue continued to talk about another "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

    When giving lectures, the lecturer can speak and point out, while all other personnel must listen attentively, even the emperor is no exception.

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but wonder, how can he refute me?

    It wasn¡¯t until he saw that after Wang Xijue finished speaking, Mr. Xu Ge, who served as the official of the banquet, asked the listeners to express their opinions that he realized that this was the order.

    The hanging heart was completely put back into the stomach.

    What worries me the most is that I won¡¯t be allowed to finish my sentence.  After I finish speaking, let¡¯s talk as much as we want!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "It is said that Zhao Hao will come and give the lecture."

    Hearing Mr. Xu Ge sing a song, Zhao Hao quickly left the side hall and kowtowed in front of the emperor.

    After standing up, he stood in front of the podium, facing the eyes that were either curious, hostile, or worried, and said in a deep voice:

    "Today, we will start from Xunzi's "Tian Lun Pian"."

    "Xunzi said - Heaven's movement is constant, it will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie!"
