The next day, Shen Shixing went to the cabinet to resume his duties. Although he had been enlightened by Mr. Zhao yesterday, he had figured it out. But when I really have to face Xianggong Zhang, I still feel anxious.
However, as Zhao Shouzheng said, Mr. Zhang was not angry at all. Instead, he thanked him for winning his second son.
Shen Shixing said hurriedly and anxiously: "But Jingxiu"
"Who told him that he is not good at studying? Besides, he is still young. He will come again next time." Zhang Juzheng was in a surprisingly good mood, and he really didn't look like he was going to settle accounts after the fall.
This made Shen Shixing breathe a sigh of relief, but also secretly wondered where the sun came out.
"Have you ever heard of the Divine Turtle?" Zhang Juzheng's next sentence suddenly made him realize. "My little girl sailed around the world and brought back one from the fairy mountains overseas. It is said to be at least five thousand years old. Its carapace is as white as jade and has a mysterious heavenly script on it. Everyone who has seen it says it is the one from the time of the Yellow Emperor."
Hearing this, Shen Shixing said in his heart, good guy, Bailian, Baiyan, here comes Baigui againBrother Gongming has even reached this level, it's really amazing.
"The turtle comes out of Luo?" He adjusted his mood instantly and said with surprise on his face: "The river comes out of the picture, the Luo comes out of the book, the saint follows it?"
Luoshu was called the Turtle Book in ancient times. Legend has it that a divine turtle came out of Luoshui, and its carapace had a patterned Heavenly Book. It is the top auspicious sign that heralds the birth of a saint.
"I have already found out its origin, and that's pretty much it. You go back and write a congratulatory note according to this idea, and use it for the ceremony to welcome the turtle." Mr. Zhang ordered in a deep voice.
On the eighth day of March, a grand ceremony was held in the Forbidden City to welcome the Millennium Turtle back to its throne.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had long heard that the fleet that sailed around the world brought back a magical turtle from overseas and presented it to Xianggong Zhang. However, Mr. Zhang has been strictly guarding against letting others see his magical turtle.
??????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone is joking in private, saying that Mr. Zhang is "happy when he sees a tortoise", but this time he met the auspiciousness of his family.
They all guessed that this time it was probably like Zheng He who used a giraffe as a unicorn to fool people when he became an ancestor.
However, when the huge turtle was carried up by thirty-six people in a sedan chair under the guidance of Lu Bu's ceremonial guard, everyone was stunned.
Such a big turtle is beyond imagination. Ten times bigger than those century-old turtles!
Paired with the ethereal and sacred music, it really looks like a thousand-year-old turtle.
Now everyone is restrained, the turtle has spirit, and they don¡¯t dare to talk nonsense
Emperor Wanli on the golden stage was also stunned.
He is already fifteen years old. He is not as fat as he was when he was a child, and his figure and appearance have become adult-like.
?????????????????????? However, he has not yet taken charge of the government, and everything must be obeyed by the Empress Dowager Li, who is behind the curtain and listens to the government.
Queen Mother Li believed in Buddhism. She saw the big white turtle full of sacred aura through the bead curtain, and repeatedly chanted Amitabha, and she was so excited that tears burst down her face.
"The appearance of this divine turtle shows that the emperor is the saint who revived the Ming Dynasty!"
What does she know about the "Hetu Luoshu"? This was all instilled in her by Zhang Juzheng. Empress Dowager Li was very obedient to Xianggong Zhang, so she naturally regarded his words as truth. He whispered in the emperor's ear:
¡°It¡¯s so good, so good, so good¡¡±
"This divine turtle is white. I heard that Mr. Zhang was originally abbreviated as 'Bai Gui'." Feng Bao laughed softly from the side: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is the divine turtle who came to this world and was dedicated to assisting the saint in reviving the Ming Dynasty!"
"That must be the case. I have long seen that Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person." Empress Dowager Li nodded hurriedly, and then told Wanli: "Your Majesty, when you take charge next year, Mr. Zhang must respect Mr. Zhang as he does now and abide by the rules. His teachings. With him around, your empire will prosper! This is God¡¯s will and cannot be violated!¡±
"Yes, Queen Mother." Wanli looked like a good boy. Under the guidance of Feng Bao, he personally stepped forward to place the turtle, offered incense to it, and then returned to the throne.
After the Minister of Etiquette read the congratulatory form, Wanli asked Du Mao to read out the imperial edict, saying that the appearance of the divine tortoise was a sign of heaven's descent, indicating that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty was very good, and that reforms were in line with God's will and people's sentiments, and were supported by everyone in the world. , so we must continue to reform unswervingly.
¡°Then he said, I am still young and this is not my fault. The auspicious appearance of this divine turtle in this world is all due to Zhang Xianggong¡¯s kindness. I thanked Mr. Kaiwo for the beginning of today's prosperous age. Heaven and man responded, so I named Zhang Juzheng as Grand Tutor and Yin Yizi as Shang Baocheng. All the officials below Lu Tiaoyang were also rewarded and granted a general amnesty!
The prisoners of the Ming Dynasty are blessed. In less than ten years, this is the third amnesty.
Zhang Juzheng expresses his gratitudesp; Even a powerful prime minister like Zhang Xianggong, who is not afraid of people's opinions, is ashamed to put his son in the top ten. Finally, Si Xiu was given a score of twenty, and Lu Xingzhou was given a score of thirty.
Because the top ten papers are for the emperor¡¯s purpose. It would be better to get a ranking higher up in the second-tier class, so as to gain benefits and save face at the same time.
Who would have thought that as soon as Emperor Wanli sat down behind the Wenhua Palace, he asked Mr. Zhang where his son ranked?
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly reported back and said, No. 20.
"It's too low." Wanli said sincerely: "I can't repay you sir, but your descendants will repay you with less. So I selected him to be the number one scholar."
Zhang Juzheng was moved and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but he advised: "Quinzi is not the number one talent, it would be great if he can be ranked second. If you are not worthy of the position, you will suffer. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Okay then." Wanli gave in, only one step: "Then let him be the second choice, so that he won't be conspicuous, right? Okay, old sir, this matter is settled, and I won't change it anymore! "
Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to thank him again. So his second son, Sixiu, became the second best in Wanli's five-year ranking
¡°Don¡¯t look at it, Mr. Zhang looks frightened on the surface, but he is still very proud in his heart.
Just like the emperor said, Bu Gu deserves this!
