Chapter 76 Lecture
Chapter 76 Lecture
is the day.
The famous scholars, literati and students who gathered in Chang'an all rushed to the Eastern Palace.
Di Renjie followed his brother closely and followed the crowd to the outside of the East Palace.
"Renjie, once you enter the East Palace, you must be careful with every move and never cause any trouble."
Di Rengui said in a low voice.
"Brother, don't worry."
Di Renjie nodded, his eyes swept over the scholars, and when he saw a great scholar arriving, he followed his brother in paying his respects.
Although famous scholars and great men may not necessarily see them.
But etiquette is essential.
Everyone is bowing, and you're just standing there. Wouldn't that make you stand out?
"What is your name?"
You have to queue up at the gate of the East Palace and can only enter after being checked.
"I am Di Rengui, and this is my brother Di Renjie."
Di Rengui chatted with Chajian.
However, Di Renjie was looking at the four guards outside the palace gate, who were standing with their heads held high, as still as a mountain.
They were dressed gorgeously, looked heroic, and had a proud look between their brows.
Especially the robes, which are so gorgeous and beautiful, and particularly eye-catching.
As he stared at them, Di Renjie discovered that the four guards didn't show any signs of shaking, and they didn't even blink.
It's like a statue, solid as a rock.
In contrast, there were some other East Palace guards who tried their best to behave like the four bright guards.
But it is far from satisfactory.
"Brother, what kind of guard is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
Di Renjie asked in a low voice, his eyes shining.
Di Rengui also noticed the four guards who were dressed in completely different and gorgeous clothes, and he was also stunned.
"So handsome and impressive."
He couldn't help but sigh.
The scholars who came over, even the famous scholars, could not help but look at him and talk about him in a low voice.
But no one answered.
"Go in, and follow the rules. Don't make loud noises, don't walk around randomly, and don't argue with others."
"You can't use your swords. The East Palace guards won't reason with you."
Di Rengui nodded repeatedly.
Leading Di Renjie into the East Palace.
As soon as you enter the East Palace, you will see the brightly dressed guards in front of the palace gate. Although you can't say they are everywhere, you can see their upright figures wherever you look.
"I heard that these brightly-clad guards are the prince's personal soldiers."
A scholar who knew the situation whispered.
Di Rengui's expression changed and he moved closer.
"The prince's personal soldiers, the Imperial Guards."
"These are the Jinyiwei, worthy of their name, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and look very heroic."
"That's what a young man should do."
The scholars couldn't help but feel envious.
Young people like this kind of handsome and dignified robe.
If you wear it on yourself, you will feel so cool.
"So they're called Jinyiwei."
Di Renjie said: "It is really like a noble man, so unattainable. The prince's personal army is like this."
"Brother, can you serve as the prince's personal soldier?"
Di Rengui was stunned. "I would like to, but I'm not that lucky. I still need connections to enter the East Palace."
The East Palace has limited admission, not everyone can go in and listen to the lectures.
It still requires some support. If anyone can come in, that would be terrible. I'm afraid the Eastern Palace wouldn't have room to accommodate them all.
Therefore, some people can hold name cards and register for appointments, and some students can follow doctoral teachers.
The scholars and students who could not do it could only stay outside the palace and wait for news from the East Palace.
Compared with those who were listening to lectures in the palace, they were the first to see the moon because they were close to the water.
"Okay." Di Renjie was a little disappointed.
Di Rengui patted his head and said, "If you want, study hard and become a clerk when you grow up."
Di Renjie frantically pushed his brother's hand away, puffed his face, and said angrily: "I told you not to touch my head." "Okay, okay, I won't touch it, I won't touch it."
the other side.
Pei Xingjian, Li Jingxuan, Guo Zhengyi, Zhang Renyi and others also queued up with some scholars to enter the Eastern Palace.
When they saw the Jinyiwei, they were also extremely curious and looked at them with envy.
"I heard that several young masters from the Duke's Mansion are in the Crown Prince's personal army."
Li Jingxuan said: "Today, I saw the prince's personal army and found it to be extraordinary."
"That's the Crown Prince's personal army, the Jinyiwei. Just hearing the title, you know it's not a simple one."
Everyone's heart was moved. Who wouldn't like such beautiful clothes?
If I could have a beautiful dress, I would be very charming in Chang'an.
Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Don't even think about it."
"We are going to join the new army."
"Your Majesty has appointed us, so we must not dwell on it day and night and forget the responsibilities we shoulder."
Everyone also nodded.
Their responsibility was already determined when they came to the fore.
Either you soar to the sky or everyone despises you.
"Let's go. If we don't hurry up, there won't be any seats left."
pity.
Whatever you say comes.
When they arrived at the Chongjiao Temple, it was already packed with people.
Famous scholars and great men of letters had seats, while everyone else had to stand.
Directly in front, there is a small platform with a screen in front and cushions and low tables on the left and right.
Facing the main hall on the right, you can see the prince's seat.
The left side is the place for people who talk about "etiquette". The cushioned low table is placed at an angle so that people can see both the prince and the inside of the hall.
The place they found wasn't too great, but it was a bit crowded, but it was better than nothing.
……
"Your Highness, it's almost time."
Chang Sun Chong said.
Li Chengqian also wore a nice set of clothes, which was not as good as the crown prince's robes, but it was also a formal robe.
"How many people came?"
"More than two hundred."
Chang Sun Chong replied: "The Chongjiao Hall is full of people. Zhang Xuansu has arranged it quite well. It is well organized and there is no chaos."
"There is limited space and many more people were unable to enter the palace."
"Ah."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "Let's go."
"Yes!"
In the Chongjiao Hall, Yu Zhining, who was the first speaker of the day, appeared, sat on the podium, straightened his posture, and glanced at the crowd.
He felt somewhat pleased with himself. As long as his first lecture today went smoothly, his reputation would surely rise to a higher level.
However, when he thought that Zhang Shiheng would be the only lecturer for the next three days, he felt a little jealous.
By then, his fame will overshadow all of them and he will be the only one in the limelight.
Yu Zhining didn't know why the prince praised Zhang Shiheng so much, but he had no way to stop it.
If he tried to persuade Zhang Shiheng and he got to know about it, no matter if he was the Prince's Secretary or not, he would definitely come to his house to see who was better.
When it comes to "etiquette", Yu Zhining has a clear idea in mind. It is not to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.
It is really possible that he cannot defeat Zhang Shiheng.
When the scholars saw Yu Zhining appear, they knew that the lecture was about to begin.
"quiet!"
The ceremonial officer appeared and shouted, and the hall suddenly became silent.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
Wow!
Hear the sound.
Everyone stood up and saluted, saying:
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, may His Royal Highness be well!"
Li Chengqian glanced at him, his eyes blossomed, he nodded slightly and said, "Gu'an."
Immediately, he bent over and sat down on the table, adjusting his sitting posture and showing his majesty.
"Master Yu, please start talking!"
