DAY 126 The color of the predecessors
The Duke of Wang Wenduan and Duke of Wenxiang in Wenxiang refer to Wang Youdu and Yu Minzhong. The latter mentioned in the previous article, so I will not repeat it. The former was a very important court official in the early Qianlong period. When he was in the Military Affairs Office, in addition to stating the order, he also had a very special job: it is a poem. The so-called poem is a work of recording the poems chanted by the emperor, sorting, processing, and polishing.
Wang Youdun was from Anhui and was from Zhejiang. He was a Hanlin student in the second year of Yongzheng. He was a student of Zhang Tingyu. With the help of his teacher, he was able to walk on the "Military Minister of Military Affairs". After that, he was Yu Minzhong, who was also a minister with great knowledge and knowledge, and his specialized talents in poetry.
Emperor Gaozong was very stubborn, had a very talented poem, and was very addicted to it. He often wrote a poem when he thought about it. Sometimes when he met the Minister of Military Affairs, he did not forget to write a poem. However, the poems obtained in this way were inevitably confused, so he needed to go to Wang Youdu and Yu Min. After the emperor recited it, he would remember it in his mind. After he came down, he would carefully copy it, and recorded some of the allusions and errors aside, and submitted it to the imperial court again. After the emperor's edict was approved, he would then formally record it.
However, at the beginning, such work had a very big problem. It was probably like this: When the Military Affairs Office was first established, it was not like the military ministers who met with each other like later. Instead, they only recruited the military officers to report to the prelude to the Lord, and then conveyed the emperor's will to others after they came back.
At that time, there were six people in the Military Affairs Office, namely: Ortai, Zhang Tingyu, Neqin, Nayantai and Bandi. On the surface, they looked like the foreman of Ortai, but in fact they were Neqin.
The ranking of the military ministers first discussed the ranks, and the same ranks were discussed. Neqin inherited the title of Guo Yigong, the grandfather Ebilong, and was a title of Duke of different surnames. He was a court official of the people and was considered a court official of the first rank. Therefore, every time he gave an order to Emperor Gaozong, he was a decree.
Neqin did not have much real ability, and the more important thing is that he was too old or what he was like. When he was transferred after the order was submitted, the sentences were confused and the words were not fulfilled. Others from the Military Affairs Office wrote the order and submitted it to the emperor were often sent back and started again, or even again and again, but again and again. Wang Youdu, who was responsible for reporting the order and wrote the order, was extremely miserable.
Just imagine, even the oral relayed order cannot be clearly expressed, how can I remember the gorgeous poems in the emperor's mouth? Later, not only did Wang Youduo work hard, but even Qianlong felt that this matter was a little wrong. Just so happened that Fu Heng used it alone and led the military aircraft with the honor of the queen's brother. It is said that he made a comment on the first day of the first meeting with the military aircraft: "The slave is getting older and has a bad memory. I am afraid that he will miss the emperor's major affairs, so I ask the military minister to call the military aircraft to meet together."
Qianlong thought this idea was good, so he agreed. So, from this time on, it became a tradition to meet with the ministers of military affairs. Wang Youdun's job of stating the order was much easier. As for his other job, poetry, he became more comfortable.
Today Wenxiang suddenly mentioned these two people. Needless to ask, he was comparing the emperor to Emperor Gaozong of that year. Sure enough, Wenxiang continued to say: "According to what Wang Wenduan Gong said, the poems written by the emperor always fit the words of Du Gong's Ministry of Works' that the late lunar calendar gradually became detailed in poetry. It is true that great poets must pay attention to the 'programming' and must be appropriate. A word cannot be changed more easily! I think of the predecessors and yearn for it. Today, I see the emperor's imperial pen. It seems that only my emperor can compare with the ancient emperor's high temple, but this skill of remembering is even more unattainable for the high temple!"
The emperor burst into laughter, took the paper back from the eunuch's hand and placed it on the table: "You Wenbochuan."
Wen Xiang said something that Zeng Guofan and others secretly admired. Such words were as if they were said in a big article: phoenix head, pig's belly, leopard tail! There was no trace of the beginning, the beginning, the ending, the ending, and the ending. How did he think it out?
The young emperor gradually calmed down and sat down on the side: "You know what he said when he shouted Daqi today, right?"
"Yes, slaves, and then, know."
"Zeng Guofan, what do you say?"
"When I reply to the emperor's words, I think that although what Lord Du said is inevitable, it is also a matter of planning for the country."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his legs with interest: "You keep talking."
"Yes. I think that Master Du's two important officials in the two dynasties can be said to be free from regrets in terms of loyalty, love and love for the king, and the words "filial piety and brotherhood".
"Just what?"
"But," Zeng Guofan lowered his voice as low as possible and said in a naughty manner: "I think Master Du is the tutor of the emperor's brother and the minister who has become the 'Tao Shu's merit in upbringing'!"
The emperor chuckled. Of course he understood what Zeng Guofan meant -.
This sentence was the imperial edict of the emperor when he selected a master for the prince in the first year of Qianlong. It said: "I will tell Zhang Tingyu and others, even though the prince is young, the achievements of Tao Shu's cultivation must start from childhood. You can teach it carefully. Strictness is beneficial, but lenient and more harmful. In the future, the prince will know it."
Now Zeng Guofan uses such words to persuade him, undoubtedly saying that Du Shoutian is the candidate for a good master, that's all! This is what the king and his ministers say, so he laughed and nodded to Cai Nianci who was standing aside: "I heard that Zeng Guofan is a kind person. When he saw him today, it turns out to be so!"
"I dare not."
"Get up." The emperor signaled him to stand up, turned his head and looked at Wen Xiang and the others: "Then, how do you think this matter should be resolved? Hey? You, you all said that it is feasible to enter the city of the British? "
"I think that what the emperor said to several adults of the Military Affairs Office last year that the British can see the dynasty's "the prosperity of palaces, wells and cities, and the richness of granaries is the extremes of the Book of Songs!... It is beneficial to promote education." It is truly a great idea, and it is beneficial to the country, and it cannot be changed. I think that even if everyone now cannot understand the mystery of the emperor's saint's intention, after a few years, they will naturally feel the same and know that my emperor is wise and powerful."
The emperor said to Wen Xiang so comfortably that his whole body seemed to have thirty-six thousand pores opened, and he proudly raised the corners of his mouth.
