Chapter 252 251 Handing the knife

"Dangdang.再再再再再再再再再再再再"

As the drums and drums were beaten, the rhythm was played, and the sheng, flute, piano, chime bell, and chime chime gradually joined the music, and a simple Ming Dynasty elegant music was played in Taichang Temple.

Wei Guangde happened to come to see the work of the Dianbo Hall in recent days. He saw the musicians inside rehearsing the music. He stood aside without realizing it, watching a group of musicians sitting or standing in the center of the square playing there. Behind them were chimes and chimes, and there were also a few people pounding there.

Wei Guangde told the truth in this scene and met Yale for the first time.

By the time of Wei Guangde, Chinese elegant music had almost cut off its inheritance.

Although some Taoist temples and temples claim to preserve some elegant music, in fact they are just Taoist and Buddhist music and cannot be regarded as Chinese elegant music.

It is just because of the inheritance that they use some ancient musical instruments and the arrangement also meets the standards of that era, so they give people the feeling that it is an ancient music. In fact, it is indeed an ancient music, but it is definitely not a elegant music.

Wei Guangde doesn’t understand Yale, but after reading too many books, he still has a general impression.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Chinese royal family began to use a ritual and music system that was matched with the patriarchal feudal system and used to divide the levels. There are different music, band arrangements, and musical levels used by various classes on various occasions.

Therefore, elegant music is actually a court music from ancient China, or a designated music, and it also meets the requirements of Confucianism.

At the same time, because the occasions used are to worship the heaven and earth, ancestors, mountains and rivers, the country, the sage Confucius and other ritual occasions, the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.

Finally, the requirements for musical instruments are used, such as chimes, chimes, sheng, yu, yu, panflute, chimes, chimes, zithers, zithers, zithers, zithers, zithers, zithers, jings, drums, shangs, shangs, jingshangs, shangs, and other locally produced instruments. They do not use various externally introduced instruments, such as pipa, shisha, huqin, jeans, suona, etc.

The use and configuration regulations of Yale are strictly regulated and the level is strictly and cannot be overcome.

This is naturally the master of Taichang Temple. Who should sacrifice and what standards should be used. This is the work of Taichang Temple.

Although I can't understand it, I still feel that there is a sense of rhythm. This seems to be not much different from later music, but the melody does not change much, perhaps just to show solemnity and solemnity.

After listening for a while, Wei Guangde gradually lost interest.

When I heard it for the first time, I would stop and listen carefully. After playing a few movements, the musicians began to repeat the previous movements. Naturally, Wei Guangde had no idea of ​​listening.

Maybe there was something happening right away, so the musicians gathered to start practicing.

Wei Guangde thought to himself, but these were not what he should have been in charge, but were managed by Shaoqing and Shicheng of Taichang Temple, so he bypassed from one side of the musician team and walked into the Dianbo Hall.

"Sir Yu."

After Wei Guangde entered the door, he saw Bo Yu Shihui, the executive secretary of Taichang Temple, sitting behind the desk, and he was stunned. Thinking about it, isn’t this the case of Taichang Temple?

"Mr. Wei is here, it's just right. These are the documents accumulated over the past few days. I have signed them all. Please check it out and correct it."

Yu Shihui had no malice to Wei Guangde. He knew that he was just here to gilt and didn't care about anything on weekdays, so he was very polite to Wei Guangde every time.

"I have troubled you, and I have a lot of things to do about my Hanlin Academy to compile books."

Wei Guangde walked over and sat down with a smile, looking at more than a dozen texts on the desk, but he was too lazy to go and read them.

At first, Wei Guangde was still very interested, but after watching it a few times, he realized that it was actually all the musicians assigned to the ceremonies, and it was not just about arranging mail or something.

Then it is to remember the merits. The officials and musicians who participated must remember one, or they will work hard, and there will be rewards at the end of the year.

This is all Wei Guangde’s work, and Yu Shihui can actually do it.

Most Hanlin officials in the Ming Dynasty worked in other yamen, but in fact they did it. Just look at how to operate the practice, and there is no need to worry or effort to handle it.

"Is there another ceremony outside?"

After Wei Guangde sat down, a minor official brought tea. Wei Guangde asked Yu Shihui.

"It's October soon, and the "Da Tong Calendar" will be promulgated, so there are naturally rituals. It's probably not necessarily the emperor will attend court. There is also the death anniversary of Empress Xiaojie, so we have to prepare in advance."

Yu Shihui explained clearly what preparations the musicians outside were doing in just a few short sentences.

The Grand Court Conference promulgated next year's "Da Tong Calendar". In addition, Emperor Jiajing might not have participated in this ceremony much before. It was probably because the musicians played music outside Fengtianmen and all officials performed their rituals.

The "Datong Calendar" is actually a calendar that was still sold in later generations, or the "old Calendar". It records the observations and predictions of the future farming season in dynasties, as well as dynasties, taboos, laws, etc., and then issued in large quantities and passed on to farmers to help agricultural sowing and harvest.

The history of the "Datong Calendar" is still very long. Before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne to establish the Ming Empire, it was still the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the war, the Yuan Dynasty regime did not issue the "Datong Calendar" of the calendar for more than ten years, so it compiled the "Datong Calendar" first for distribution. In fact, it was compiled according to the "Datong Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was only renamed "Datong Calendar".

In fact, it can be seen from the naming of the almanac that at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of ​​winning the world and establishing a unified dynasty.

In October of each year, the court will promulgate the compiled "Da Tong Calendar" at the Grand Court meeting, which will trigger nationwide guidance on agricultural production in the coming year.

In the Ming Dynasty, where agriculture was the main focus, this was naturally a major event.

Sitting at Taichang Temple, Wei Guangde returned to his house in a carriage. As soon as he sat down, the maid brought tea and hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Wei Guangde looked at the door and saw that Geng An was coming from the door, and was talking to Zhang Ji outside the door.

Then, Wei Guangde saw Zhang Ji looking into the door.

Wei Guangde nodded at him, signaling him to let Geng An in to speak.

Two days ago, after Wei Guangde returned home, he called Xu Huai first, said a few simple words to him, and handed him the written letter to him and asked him to take it back to Nanjing and hand it to Xu Bangrui.

In the evening, Wei Guangde called Geng An again and asked about the bad deeds of King Hui that Geng An had mentioned before.

This is also a little trick that Wei Guangde had. If many of the previous words were made up by Geng An, and so many questions were asked a few times, they would naturally have a flaw.

Be cautious when you are an official. This is one of the ways to be an official that Wei Guangde himself has learned.

Especially this time, the dignified prince is going to be defeated, so naturally we cannot take it lightly.

In fact, every time I think of how cool I would have to be when I think of how proud I was of Wei Guangde.

If you can fight when you get on the horse, you can impeach it when you return to the court. It depends on who will dare to be unable to get along with you in the future. The combat effectiveness is excellent.

However, before actually taking action, you should be prepared for it.

What Wei Guangde can confirm now is that King Hui was restless and liked to play and ran around.

If it is in Yongle Dynasty, this is the rhythm of seeking death.

For those powerful emperors, you vassal kings don’t live with their tails.

Even now, when I heard from Chen Ju, it seems that no prince of any family is as arrogant and domineering as King Hui, who dares to leave his fiefdom and travel around without authorization. He dares to go to Nanjing City and Zhongdu Fengyang.

Wei Guangde speculated that the people in the Censorate might not know about King Hui's departure from his fiefdom, otherwise he would definitely have been corrected.

They should have known that King Hui was rampant in the local area, but this crime could not be blamed, so they stopped.

Just a punishment for reprieve and a salary fine is really meaningless.

Wei Guangde has read many documents and naturally knows that when a prince like King Hui who leaves his fiefdom without authorization, he certainly does not mean that he violates the ancestral system. The vassal kings are not allowed to leave his fiefdom without authorization, but rather that impeachment is initiated by using connections and intentions.

In a word, the vassal kings who stay honestly in the fiefdom have the intention of being unjust and want to plot to rebel.

If it is confirmed that King Hui really built a Wansui Mountain in his mansion, he would also raise a group of thugs, and basically he would be able to wear the hat of rebellion.

The princes in the past did have guards of the vassal kings, but they were almost eliminated long ago.

Afterwards, Wei Guangde ordered Geng An to go outside the city to find Tongmiaoguan and find the Tongmiaosan man. However, Wei Guangde also explained to him not to talk too much about his situation, mainly to establish a good relationship and check the reason for the gap between him and King Hui.

In the next two days, Geng An had been out and never came back.

I came back today and I must have gained something. I came back and sent him a letter.

"Mr. Wei, Master Wei."

The next moment, after receiving the approval, Geng An ran into the room in two steps.

"Have you found someone?"

Wei Guangde pointed to the chair next to him, signaled Geng An to sit down, and then asked.

Geng An was actually a small landlord in Junzhou. He had some land under his name, which had some connection with the lower-level officials in the government, and he was not a scholar.

However, judging by his beloved daughter, Wei Guangde still admires him.

In the Ming Dynasty, daughters had little status and were no longer prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Giving a daughter was better than having a son.

"I found it, I also met Liang Gaofu." Geng An said excitedly.

"Are you from Junzhou?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously when he saw his appearance.

"Not this, he is from Xiangcheng, right next to Junzhou."

At this time, Geng An shook his head and said, "But I vaguely remember hearing someone that there was a pharmacist Liang who was very good at prescription drugs and specialized in treating those families with difficulties in children. This time I saw him when I saw him, it turned out to be him."

But I didn’t expect that many people from many years ago have become Taoist priests in the capital."

It's difficult to specialize in treating children?

When Wei Guangde heard this, the first thing he thought of was to treat the symptoms of infertility. Thinking about Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Jiajing, it seems that he had a little difficulty in having children.

Emperor Zhengde had no queen and directly gave Emperor Jiajing a favor.

Although Emperor Jiajing had five sons, three died young, and now there were only two left.

Then Wei Guangde thought of one thing, that is, Liang Gaofu was not a Taoist priest before, and obviously he went to be a Taoist priest to cater to Emperor Jiajing.

"hehe."

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde didn't feel laughing, but he quickly put away his smile because he thought that he seemed to be doing this, and in order to be promoted, he seemed to be trying his best to beat Emperor Jiajing's fart.

"Have you found anything else?"

What Wei Guangde asked now is naturally the dirty thing between Liang Gaofu and King Hui. He couldn't figure out what was going on between them, so he was not sure whether he could bring Liang Gaofu over to help. Everyone joined forces to defeat Hui.
