The emperor's pursuit of governance should be the first priority.

This sentence is meaningful.

Since he specialized in the history of the Jiajing Dynasty, Xu Yan's understanding of this Taoist emperor was comprehensive.

There are not many poems written by Jiajing, and it is even rarer to pass on the world, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still left a few good poems.

One of the poems was written by Emperor Jiajing’s imperial ethics lecture on the university’s remarks.

The whole poem is:

The emperor's pursuit of governance should be the first priority.

The lower one is the ruler of the people, and the higher one is the heaven that inherits.

The key to curing is the foundation, and the root of the root will be smooth.

The order of what a man learns is the last and the front.

If you are upright and sincere, your will will not be changed.

Since my ambition can be determined, how can the truth be confused?

If one cultivates one’s own mind, one’s own country will be the same.

The country's governance is clear and all nations can cooperate.

In the Transformation of Emperor Yao, I think of King Wen of Qi.

The beginning of self-cultivation in all countries, I will recite it to the point of being sincere.

The imperial lectures mean that the ministers gave lectures to the emperor. Although this model was formally institutionalized in the Song Dynasty, it really flourished in the Ming Dynasty.

The teaching method of the Ming Dynasty's imperial lectures was established during the Yingzong Dynasty.

Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne at the age of his age. San Yang paid great attention to the education of the young emperor and personally formulated the notes of the imperial lectures. He gave lectures three times on the second, twelfth and twentieth day of the month. The emperor was in Wenhua Hall and was temporarily exempted from the cold and heat.

In addition to the three necessary lectures per month, there are also daily lectures, also known as novel lectures and small lectures.

The Ming people attached great importance to the lectures of the scriptures, believing that "if the lectures of the scriptures are not abandoned for a day, the sages will be more advanced in one day; if the lectures of the scriptures are not abandoned for a month, the sages will be more advanced in one month. If a person's mind and spirit are more abundant, he will naturally be more sensitive. If the lectures of the scriptures are correct, the master will be more open and broaden his mind and encourage the spiritual place."

Emperors are also human beings, and people will always be lazy. After a long time, they will not want to teach the imperial lectures. Their reasons are also strange, such as the saints who are incompatible with each other, and the heat of the Qi Han and the teachings are as good as possible.

It is time for the censors to perform, and they will give advice: "There is no greater tribute than lectures in the emperor's great rituals, and nothing more than lectures in the lectures."

In short, occupying the commanding heights of morality prompted the king to accept the sutra.

In general, the wise kings agree with the teaching method of the Scriptures. The most typical example is Emperor Hongzhi.

In contrast, the impression that Emperor Jiajing left in history was not very good. For example, Emperor Taoist Emperor did not attend court for twenty years.

In fact, when he was the first to ascend the throne, Emperor Jiajing was still very diligent and studious.

When he ascended the throne as a vassal, he urgently needed to prove himself with etiquette.

For regular imperial imperial lectures, it is important to create the image of a diligent king. Not to mention the basic operations of handling political affairs in the prefectures.

It can be said that before the fifteenth year of Jiajing, this emperor was still very competent.

Jiajing did not attend court in the middle and late stages, and there were many reasons. The most important turning point was in the 21st year of Jiajing. Emperor Yu Yikun Palace was almost strangled to death by the palace maid in his sleep.

Emperor Jiajing, who escaped from death, was still scared and simply moved out of the Forbidden City to live in Xiyuan. In this way, he began a life of being unlucky for twenty years without courtship.

This poem about the Imperial Classics talk about the university's Yanyi was of course written by Emperor Jiajing in the early days. At that time, he was a model of diligence and learning, and set an example for scholars all over the world as a king and father.

There were two basic principles of rule in the Ming Dynasty, one was filial piety.

As the saying goes, the holy dynasty governs the world with filial piety.

The second is learning.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the household registration system and divided the people of the world into private households, military households, craftsmen, and music households. What do fathers do, and sons must also inherit the father's business.

But it is "The dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes."

As a result, class solidification will inevitably occur over time.

Then the imperial examination system is the only way to adjust balance and enable ordinary people to change their own destiny.

The Four Books and Five Classics are very complicated and the Eight-Legend Essays are difficult to write, but because of this, ordinary people have hope.

Those playboys from wealthy families have been singing and eating food all day long, and their beautiful wives and concubines are surrounded by them. If you are used to being comfortable, you will not be willing to do such a hard thing. If you are lucky, you can still be a good official, and it is also excellent to go to the Imperial College to be a student.

If studying is simple, these playboys may have to extinguish the only hope of ordinary people.

Although there are limitations in the selection of students, it was the most reasonable selection method at that time.

He became a farmer in the morning and climbed to the emperor's hall in the evening.

After ten years of hard work, no one asked me about it, and I became famous all over the world.

This is what we say.

When the emperor wanted to promote and study, he naturally had to use himself as an example. Just as the Ming Dynasty valued agriculture, the emperor would "farm himself".

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, "studying" is an important event as important as "studying farming".

Therefore, he wrote the poem "What the emperor wants to govern, one should be the first priority."

In comparison, doing business can be considered the end.

Emperor Jiajing asked Eunuch Wang to pass a message to Xu Yan, "What the emperor wants to govern, learning should be the first priority", which is to warn him to be diligent and studious and take the right path of the imperial examination.

It can be said that it pointed out the future direction for Xu Yan.

In Xu Xiaolangjun's opinion, Emperor Jiajing's words are really important!

Although the emperor did not give him an additional title, it was equivalent to giving him a promise. He just said that you, a kid, study hard and take the exam well. As long as you pass the Jinshi exam, I will use it more seriously.

The word "Simple" in the four words "Di Xin" is easy to say, but it is difficult to really do it.

The emperor has a lot of troubles every day, so it is difficult to remember that a child without an official position is not a child.

But Xu Yan did it.

The promotion of Xiangrui not only helped the governor Zhu Wan, the prefect Ma Shanyuan, the county magistrate Zhao Ruohai and others to increase their ranks, but also made Emperor Jiajing remember Xu Yan.

Once the seeds are planted in the heart, they will surely sprout and grow in the future, and there is no need to worry at all.

Emperor Jiajing did not reward Xu Yan on the surface, but now it seems to be a protection for him.

The so-called "nothing" is a blessing to lose one's horse.

If Xu Yan takes the imperial examination path, he must protect his reputation.

Scholars are the most stingy. The so-called Qingliu despises all those who rely on flattery to get to the top.

Before, the Chenghua Dynasty officials were boycotted by Qing rumors, and later, the Qingci Prime Minister Yan Song was impeached by the counselors.

Therefore, offering auspiciousness is also a double-edged sword.

Xu Yan did not come forward by himself, but passed the line of Zhejiang officialdom, which was extremely hidden.

Emperor Jiajing also knew the various things and paid great attention to protecting Xu Yan, and did not issue an imperial edict to reward Xu Yan.

In this way, Xu Yan not only sold all the favors in the Zhejiang officialdom, but also preserved Zhu Wan's position, and became the popular young man Jian Zai Zhen, which was like a killing of three birds with one stone.

At first, Xu Yan didn't expect such a good effect, but now it seems that his original choice was simply too correct.

Xu Yan vaguely felt that his arrival had gradually changed the direction of history, and the butterfly effect gradually appeared. As for how convenient it can lead the Ming Dynasty to let time prove it!
