"The emperor, Yang Tinghe, the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, Liang Chu, the Right Minister of Personnel, and Liu Zhong, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, asked for a visit." Wang Yue walked in and said in Maoqin Hall.

"Why did they come?" Zheng De raised his head, looking puzzled. These three have also taught in the East Palace, and they can be called Zhu Houzhao's teachers. Of course, except for Yang Tinghe who is still performing his teacher duties, the other two have been transferred and promoted, so this is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao's deepest feelings for Yang Tinghe in history.

"Let's come in." Zheng De waved his hand. Although these people were all Zhu Houzhao's teachers, they are now considered their own teachers, so naturally they dare not neglect them.

"I (Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Liu Zhong) have met Your Majesty." The three of them came in together and bowed.

Zheng De quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Three gentlemen, please sit down."

"This..." The three of them looked at each other. Although they had been the emperor's teachers, except for Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao never called anyone else a gentleman. I don't know what the emperor is today? Is he changing his nature? He began to pay attention to respecting his teachers and respect his teachings?

"Your Majesty is the king, how can you be the first to sit down?" Yang Tinghe bowed and said, although he was just a fifth-rank official wearing a green robe, he was no less than Liang Chu, who was already a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but it was obvious that the three of them were led by him.

After this month's experience, Zheng De also knew the nature of the ancient ministers. As long as they were determined by something, even a thousand horses would not be able to be picked up. So he didn't say any polite words and sat down. After the three of them sat down, he asked, "I wonder what the three gentlemen are coming?"

"I am here to hope that the emperor will reopen the sutra. Your Majesty is still young after all, and the saint's learning must not be abandoned for a day." After hearing Yang Tinghe's words, Zheng De was confused. Sutra? What is this? He looked at Wang Yue with an inquiring gaze. The latter knew that his master must have had the amnesia problem again, so he quickly attached himself to his ear and muttered a few words.

The imperial lecture was a special imperial lecture for emperors to discuss classics and history since the Han and Tang Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the imperial lecture was formally institutionalized and the lecturer was called, and the lecturer was appointed as Hanlin scholars or other officials or served as part of the position. In the Ming Dynasty, this system was particularly important. In addition to the emperor, the crown prince also had lectures after he left the cabinet. Since the orthodox, he gave lectures three times on the second, twelfth and twentieth day of the month. In addition to the three lectures per month, there were also lectures, and only lectures were used to read the official cabinet bachelor's class. In short, the ministers taught the emperor.

Zheng De's face turned green when he heard this. He finally graduated from college in his previous life, but now he wants to return to the old scholar to listen to the lectures of the old scholar. It is even more uncomfortable than killing himself. The most important thing is that he only has himself, and even makes some small movements under the teacher's constant monitoring. Moreover, there is no weekend break. Thinking about this day, life is worse than death.

Looking at the emperor's unhappy look, Yang Tinghe sighed and patiently advised, "The imperial lecture is the ancestral system, and Your Majesty must not disobey it."

"Bah! What a breaking the ancestral system? I'm not from your Zhu family. What does it have to do with me?" Zheng De couldn't help but mutter in his heart. However, although he thought so, he knew that he would definitely not be able to escape from this matter. After all, he was still in Zhu Houzhao's body anyway. However, although he thought so in his heart, he was still thinking about how to skip class. After all, seeing the posture of these three people, he would definitely not give up until he achieved his goal.

Liang Chu was also instructive and tempted, "Your Majesty, if the lectures of the scriptures are not abolished for a day, then the sages are worthy of the sages and sages are worthy of the progress of the sages and sages and sages are worthy of the progress of the sages and sages and sages are worthy of the progress of the sages and sensation. If a person has a lot of thoughts and spirits, he will naturally be strong and agile. If the lectures of the scriptures are correct, the master will open up his mind and encourage his spiritual place, and should not be abandoned."

Liu Zhong also advised him, "The emperor should take the world as his thoughts. If he does not understand the learning of saints and does not know the history of the previous dynasty, how can he cultivate one's own character and govern the world through the previous dynasty's learning?"

What Zheng De was most annoying was that others gave him a lot of big truths. He knew that he could no longer remain silent. Otherwise, he would not go crazy if he was bombarded by these three people in turn. He coughed, "What the sir said is very true, but the late emperor just passed away. I am inexplicably mourning now. I really have no intention of the sutra. Please forgive me." After saying that, he wanted to squeeze out two tears, but unfortunately he was not a professional actor and had no eye drops, so he could only give up in embarrassment.

Looking at the emperor's poor acting skills, Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly and said in pain, "The difference in the emperor's words is exactly when His Majesty ascended the throne, and the hearts of the world are floating. If the sutra reopens and lets the people take the lead, they can calm people's hearts."

"What do you mean?" He was drunk even if he had a sutra class and could be related to all the people in the world. However, when he said this, Zheng De was helpless. After all, he couldn't say anything about them. Should he change his way, literary and martial arts? This idea flashed and was then extinguished. If he couldn't win, he would do it. Zheng De thought he was not a good person, but he was unwilling to do something that would ruin his character.

"I agree to this matter. Is there anything else?" Zheng De looked at the three people in front of him, like a defeated rooster, dejected.

Anyone could hear the perfunctory intention, but when the emperor agreed, their purpose here was achieved. I didn't want to say more, but I was afraid that the emperor would regret it. Then the hard work of his and others was in vain? Yang Tinghe said again, "Since that's the case, let's start tomorrow."

"no!"

Zheng De jumped up as if he was burning his butt and quickly rejected the proposal. Seeing the three of them looking at him with a strange look, he said awkwardly, "Is tomorrow too hasty? Are the three gentlemen ready to say something?"

Yang Tinghe is confident in his thoughts, "All classics, history, and literature can be done."

Zheng De was not interested in these things and frowned slightly, "If you talk about these things that are not very useful in governing the country in class, I think the lecture will be spared."

Liu Zhong stood up indignantly and bowed, "The classics, history, and literature are the works of the sages of all dynasties, especially the Four Books and Five Classics, which are the words of saints. They are not useless in governing the country. Your Majesty's words are very wrong."

Looking at the aggressive Liu Zhong, Zheng De wanted to refute. But to be honest, he really didn't know what the classics, history and books were, so he just said it casually. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Seeing the emperor suddenly remain silent, the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little solemn. Yang Tinghe stood up and broke the slightly awkward atmosphere. "Your Majesty is careful of his words. The Four Books and Five Classics are the words of saints. It is a compulsory book for scholars all over the world. Don't let the hearts of scholars all over the world be disappointed."

When things came to this point, Zheng De didn't want to compromise. He pondered for a moment, "Let's do this, after the lecture, we will change to talking about the gains and losses of the ancient and modern governments. No matter who can speak freely and criticize the current ills, and criticize all the ministers in the court, including me. No matter what kind of rebellion or other taboo words, they will not be punished for their words." Zheng De might not be shocked enough, and then said, "Of course, it also includes the words that insult me." After saying that, he glanced at the three ministers sitting, all shocked by the emperor's unprecedented remarks.

"The emperor also likes others to scold him. No wonder the emperor lost his memory after fainting in front of the coffin of the late emperor last time. It's probably because he broke his brain! What a pitiful baby!" The three of them exchanged their eyes, and they all looked at Zheng De with a look of pity or worry, which made him 2-zhang monk unable to touch his mind. "Why do these people look at themselves with such eyes? Do they look pitiful?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it!" The human heart is the hardest thing in the world to guess. Zheng De was not interested in knowing the thoughts of the three old guys in front of him. After thinking about it, he said, "As for the date of the sutra is set on the first day of each month, once a month, except for the first month of course. What do the three gentlemen think?"

"Emperor, the ancestral system has regulations that 'the lectures are held three times on the second, twelfth and twentieth day of each month', and they cannot be changed without authorization!" Yang Tinghe firmly opposed.

"What's wrong?" Zheng De glanced at them lightly. Thinking of the words he said just now, he leaned on the back of the chair with pride. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's not easy to be able to calm these old guys, but he still feels quite comfortable."

Yang Tinghe looked at Zheng De, frowned slightly, and directly rebuked, "Your Majesty is my Emperor Ming Dynasty and informed the people of the world. You should have a seated look, how can you sit like a rural villager and be vulgar and rude?"

Yang Tinghe's reprimand scared Zheng De. Looking at Yang Tinghe's approaching rampage, he smiled embarrassedly, and felt a little proud. He quickly sat up straight and admitted his mistake, "What sir has taught me is that I was wrong."

"No, I am the emperor. Do you still need to admit my mistake to the minister?" Zheng De regretted it immediately after saying that. He only heard Yang Tinghe say another sentence, "Your Majesty can correct your mistakes, which is great." He felt even more embarrassed, but then he thought, isn't he his teacher? Isn't it normal for the teacher to scold him a few words? He felt much better.

"Then the time of this sutra?" Zheng De looked at his three teachers.

The three of them looked at each other but did not give in. "Come according to the ancestral system."

Zheng De nodded, "By the rules, since you decide the time of the lecture, then I will decide the way of lectures in the lecture."

"By the rules? What rules?" After hearing what the emperor said, the three of them felt bad in an instant.

However, before he could speak, Zheng De said again, "A word, do you agree or not, let's give up the matter of the lecture." He also felt that his attitude was a little soft. If he gave in, he would be too disgrace to the emperor. In the future, they would not be able to shit and pee on their heads.

Unexpectedly, facing Zheng De's tough attitude, the three of them pondered for a moment and agreed. Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, he felt a little messy in an instant.

"Sure enough, you should be tougher!"
