Prime Minister

Chapter 1034 Reopening Tianzhang Pavilion

“The more you practice, the more you know; the more you know, the more you can achieve!”

Cai was not present at the scene. It was the first time that the emperor and ministers heard Zhang Yue's words and fell into deep thought.

"I use the metaphor of a stone in a barrel, and I have gained something." The official said.

Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Yue's words are the way to understand the body and make use of it."

"Yes, understanding the body and making use of it is the first skill of Confucianism, which is what Mr. Anding talked about." The official smiled and nodded.

Mr. Anding is Hu Yuan, how can he reveal his body? How to use it? How to use it through body and mind? This is the biggest proposition of Song Dynasty philosophy and the first concern of scholars.

Ming Ti Da Yong means epistemology and methodology.

To put it bluntly, it means knowing and doing it.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, the integration of body and function means the unity of knowledge and action."

Zhang Yue thought of the later Wang Yangming's "unity of knowledge and action", which was also the most profound knowledge he founded in the philosophy of mind.

In fact, "the unity of knowledge and action" is not as good as "the power of action leads to deeper knowledge, and the deeper knowledge leads to greater achievement of action."

The more powerful the practice, the deeper the understanding; the deeper the understanding, the more forward the practice can be.

Next, the minister made another speech based on Zhang Yue's words. Everyone said something to me.

The official smiled and said: "I just understood it, but after hearing what the ministers said, I was confused for a while, so I still ask Mr. Zhang to explain it."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue stopped talking at this moment, and just smiled and said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to forge ahead, this is the prosperity of the imperial court!"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he stepped aside. Seeing that Zhang Yue refused to continue, the officials were immediately puzzled.

The discussion in the palace immediately dispersed.

After the officials returned to the palace, they were puzzled and happened to go to visit Empress Dowager Cao.

The official servant Empress Dowager Cao was extremely filial, even more so than her biological mother, Empress Dowager Gao.

After Queen Mother Cao drank the medicine, she listened to the official's detailed explanation of what happened in the palace today. After listening to what Zhang Yue said, "The more you know, the more you know, the more you know, the more you can do." Empress Dowager Cao smiled and said, "Guan, Mr. Zhang is not talking to you about conquering Xia. Please listen carefully to the great scriptures and great laws that govern the world."

The official took the medicine bowl from Queen Mother Cao's hand and said, "My grandson knows it, but he is stupid and still doesn't understand its meaning. When he asked me about it in the palace, Zhang Qing didn't answer. I don't know what it means?"

"I wonder if grandma understands?"

Queen Mother Cao thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

“Ask your grandma to teach your grandson!”

Empress Dowager Cao smiled slightly and said: "Emperor Renzong was ashamed of losing to Li Yuanhao, so he treated Fan Wenzheng courteously and repeatedly urged him to write down how to reform the world."

"At that time, Emperor Renzong was as eager to seek governance as His Majesty is today, and he ordered Fan Wenzheng to report the urgent matters of the day. Fan Wenzheng had never received an edict, and every word he said was important and should not be ignored."

"So Emperor Renzong sent the imperial edict, and sent his ministers to the Political Affairs Hall to supervise the collection. He also opened the Longtu Pavilion to give the papers and order them to be written one by one. There were countless people who would interrogate them every day."

"Fan Wenzheng then stepped back and said to the left and right, "My Lord is so eager to seek governance, how can I spare time to wait for it? Only by submitting the "Answers to the Imperial Edict and Chen Ten Matters" can I know the government in Qingli."

"Guan, do you understand?"

When the official heard this, he suddenly realized, and immediately said: "What's the matter? My grandson is so confidant to Zhang Yue. He understood his grandson's thoughts early on, so why bother?"

Empress Dowager Cao said: "Don't officials understand that doctors don't knock on the door, teachers don't follow the way, Tao is not taught lightly, and Dharma is not taught in vain?"

"Back then, the officials asked Wang Anshi to write the "Notes on Nothing Happened in This Dynasty for a Hundred Years". How could he be so stingy towards Xianggong Zhang now?"

When the official heard this, he said, "My grandson understands."

After the official family left Queen Mother Cao, they headed to Tianzhang Pavilion.

The servants in the pavilion were all shocked when they saw the officials suddenly arriving at Tianzhang Pavilion.

It has been a long time since the officials came to Tianzhang Pavilion. At the beginning of the Xining Reform, the officials met with the ministers here and discussed military and state affairs.

However, after Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister for the first time, the officials wanted to maintain the emperor's majesty, so they ordered the Tianzhang Pavilion to be closed and rarely discussed it with ministers.

Tianzhang Pavilion enshrines the imperial pen of Emperor Zhenzong, as well as the royal faces of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. In addition, there are countless books. After the official inspection, they finally came to the portraits of the three ancestors, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Zhenzong, and then silently knelt on the futon.

The official said: "The ancestors and clans are above us, and the incompetent descendant Zhao Xu has been on the throne for more than ten years. Although the Qing and Tang Dynasties were pacified, the Xia and Liao Kingdoms are still on the side. These two barbarians are the thorn in the side of our Song Dynasty, and Zhao Xu is like a fish in the throat." ."

"Zhao Xu wants to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and wipe out the world, but he is afraid of raising troops and causing disaster. If he can really achieve his wish, please send a divine sign tonight to inform his descendants."

The official kowtowed three times in front of Yu Rong.

The official knelt on the futon, and then said to his left and right: "I will keep vigil for my ancestors at Tianzhang Pavilion tonight, and no one is allowed to disturb me!"

After saying yes, they left Tianzhang Pavilion and closed the door.

That night Zhao Xu knelt and sat in Tianzhang Pavilion all night, saying nothing.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Xu laughed to himself, then got up from the futon and walked to the window, only to see his eyes go white.

It turns out that there was a heavy snowfall last night without even realizing it.

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he saw this and said: "My ancestors, please bless Zhao Xu to fulfill his long-cherished wish!"

After saying this, Zhao Xu ordered people to change his clothes and take a bath, then lit incense and wrote a handwritten edict!

The official said to the servant: "Pass the decree and reopen Tianzhang Pavilion!"

……

The next day, in the political hall.

A chamberlain came to the hall and said: "Your Majesty has a decree to reopen Tianzhang Pavilion! Please invite Han and Zhang to come to Tianzhang Pavilion to discuss world affairs. This is your edict!"

Zhang Yue was writing a signature when he heard the writing and paused for a moment.

Wang Gui and Yuan Jiang looked surprised.

Han Jiang read the edict and said, "I'll go right away!"

After saying that, Han Jiang looked at Zhang Yue, who had already put down his pen and said: "I would like to go with my husband!"

Immediately Han Jiang and Zhang Yue rushed to Tianzhang Pavilion one after another.

In the Tianzhang Pavilion, officials sit sideways, and to the north are portraits of emperors Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong.

Han Jiang and Zhang Yue greeted him immediately.

"Give me a seat!"

Han Jiang and Zhang Yue didn't even dare.

The official said: "I entrust the affairs of the world to my two dear friends, please sit down!"

In the past, it was normal for the prime minister to sit and discuss Taoism in front of the emperor, but Tianzhang Pavilion was different.

where is this place? A place dedicated to Emperor Taizu, Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong.

Even the emperor could only sit sideways and did not dare to sit facing south.

The emperor opened Tianzhang Pavilion and gave Han Jiang and Zhang Yue a seat, just like Emperor Renzong gave Fan Zhongyan a seat.

This allusion is well known to all the people in the world.

The official said: "Although the Qing and Tang Dynasties are determined, my heart cannot be determined. Both of my beloved ministers have the talent to manage the world. Today I reopen Tianzhang Pavilion and invite my two beloved ministers to plan for the governance of the country and the security of the country in front of our ancestors." This strategy will bring peace to the world! To bring peace to the world forever!"

After speaking, the official flicked his sleeves and robes.

The waiter immediately brought a table with papers and pens and ink laid out on it.

Han Jiang and Zhang Yue stood up and said: "Your Majesty has entrusted me with the affairs of the world, how dare I fail to do my best!"

The official smiled and nodded, then walked out of Tianzhang Pavilion.

On the side, the imperial faces of the three emperors Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong were lifelike. They were looking at Han Jiang and Zhang Yue majestically.
