Western Garden to Qianqing Gate as the boundary, divided into the outer and inner court, outside the Qianqing Gate for the outer court, within the inner court.
In the Xiyuan outside the central axis of a lofty palace, the roof of the golden yellow glazed tiles in the sunlight glittering with golden light, the temple supported several red temple columns, columns carved with a circling flying dragon, golden scales and golden armour, claws Royal auspicious clouds, vivid, as if it really is around the columns to fly in the air like.
The tables and chairs of gold nanmu, blue sky warm jade ground, crystal jade jade jade lamps ……Inside the temple is a golden splendour.
The name of the hall is: Da Ben Hall.
Daben Hall is Jiajing Emperor ushered in the first imperial son, in the West Garden, modelled on the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang’s Daben Hall.
In the first year of Zhu Yuanzhang’s reign as emperor, he built the Great Main Hall in the palace as a place for the crown prince and the imperial son to study and make up for the regret of not having received a good education when he was young. In the construction of the Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to collect the books of the past dynasties, and at the same time, announced to the world, to hire all over the world full of famous teachers and scholars, for the Prince to explain the Four Books and Five Classics. It can be said that the Great Hall of the Prince later on in the governance of the country and the world played an important role in leading.
Unfortunately, the Great Hall in the back of the battle of the war for imperial power in the battle of the war, with the Ming Chengzu soldiers under the city of Nanjing, Valley King Zhu Zhu and Cao Guo Gong Li Jinglong open Jinchuan door to meet the surrender of the capital was broken, the palace started a fire, the Emperor Jianwen disappeared in the fire, the Great Hall of Taizu painstakingly operated more than ten years in the fire was also reduced to rubble.
After the arrival of the first imperial son, in order to strengthen the education of the imperial son, Emperor Jiajing built this Da Bentang using the Da Bentang of the Great Ancestor as a basket case.
DaBenTian than DaBenTang taller and bigger more magnificent, but because of Jia Jing emperor heir thin, and early death of more, so tall and brilliant DaBenTian at most only three emperor study study only, to the present is only left two emperor.
With the two emperors to open their own mansion, mainly by their respective lecturers to the royal residence to teach and learn.
Only when Jiajing Emperor’s whim, will occasionally summon the two emperors to the main hall to listen to the lesson.
Last night, Jiajing Emperor dreamed of the Great Ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang quizzed him about the scriptures in his dream, Jiajing Emperor did not understand the dream, so early this morning will be the heavenly master Tao Zhongwen invited to interpret the dream.
After Tao Zhongwen counted, he said that this dream should be on the emperor’s son, and that the Great Ancestor was concerned about the cultivation of the emperor’s heir.
So, shortly after Zhu Pingan went to work, a chamberlain came to read Emperor Jiajing’s oracle, ordering Zhu Pingan to teach sutra at the Great Hall of Honour.
Teaching and preaching for the emperor’s son?
It was a heavy responsibility, but also a great honour.
This kind of honour to say out, but than the modern Peking University lecturer, Tsinghua professor or something more than 10,000 times more awesome. Peking University professor, Tsinghua professor and the State Council of the five scriptures compared to the doctor is also a little lower, not to mention with the emperor compared to the teacher.
Guozijian is the highest school in the Ming Dynasty, there is no one, in addition, it is also the education management organs, equivalent to the Bureau of Education and the highest school. Therefore, the status of modern Tsinghua University is not comparable to that of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty.
To the emperor’s son to teach the scriptures.
This can be called the emperor’s teacher.
Can blow a lifetime, in the impression of Zhu Pingan, this is a prestigious master of great Confucianism can take this important task.
No matter what, it must also be high arch this kind of seniority can be.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan first heard, but also very surprised, to the Prince of the teaching of the scriptures, they are qualified, is their own listening to the wrong? Or the chamberlain passed the wrong?
“Pass the holy emperor’s oracle, with the Hanlin Academy service reading scholar Zhu Pingan immediately to the Great Main Hall to lecture on the sutra.”
Only when the chamberlain repeated Emperor Jiajing’s oracle once again did Zhu Pingan finally determine that he had not heard wrongly and the chamberlain had not passed it on wrongly, Emperor Jiajing was asking himself to go to the Great Hall of the Capital to teach and preach sutras for the two emperors.
“His Holiness has declared an order for someone to go to the Great Main Hall to give a sermon on the scriptures!”Before the chamberlain who had passed on the decree had even come out of Zhu Pingan’s room, someone in the Hall of No Ease had learnt of the news.
“There’s another opportunity, this time take advantage of it.”The crowd was excited to hear the news, and they all jumped at the chance.
Could they not be excited, this was going to the Great Main Hall to preach the scriptures ah, everyone knew what the Great Main Hall did.
The people all know what the Great Hall is for. Going to the Great Hall to preach sutra is to preach sutra to the prince.
This is the emperor’s affirmation and great honour, this is the opportunity to be the emperor’s teacher ah. Not to mention how awesome it will be, how many halos will be added to their bodies, just to be able to have a good relationship with the future emperor this item is enough for them to grab their heads.
Now there are only two emperors left, give them a lecture, is when they teacher, at least can mix a familiar face, in advance to play a good relationship, no matter which emperor took over the throne, that as a teacher in the future benefits are more ah.
“No chance. It’s already set, the chamberlain who just walked past is the one who declared the decree for Zhu Pingan to go to the Great Hall of Heaven to preach.”
The official who knew the inside story shook his head and sighed.
Ugh!
What?
It was actually for Zhu Pingan to go to the Great Main Hall to give a sermon?
For a moment, after hearing this news, the crowd of the Hall of No-Ease was like being struck by lightning, staring at each other wide-eyed and frozen for half a day, unable to accept this news, followed by wailing, with pained expressions as if they had missed out on a hundred million dollars, and envious eyes red with envy towards Zhu Pingan.
Each eye red like a rabbit.
This is to go to the Great Hall of the Bible to preach ah ！！！！！
How could it be?
How could it be Zhu Pingan?
The crowd couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh long and hard.
“How could Zhu Pingan be allowed to go to the Great Main Hall to preach the sutras, how old is he, not even as old as the prince, right, his milky breath is not even dry yet, how can he go to preach the sutras to the prince.”
“Zhu Pingan what does he count as, what qualifications does he have to go and preach to the Emperor?!!!”
“Zhu Pingan he’s still tossing pig’s underwater, my holiness ah, what qualifications does a person like him who is full of copper and pig’s underwater stench have to go and preach sutras to the imperial prince who is too noble to be spoken of, your holiness you’ve been blinded by Zhu Pingan. He went to give the imperial son a sermon on the scriptures, what sermon, on how to do pig jerky? This is pushing the imperial son into the fire pit, my saint na.”
“Nonsense, who recommended Zhu Pingan to His Holiness, isn’t this pushing the imperial son into the fire pit.”
“The imperial prince wouldn’t accept someone of their age, or younger than them, to give them a sermon, right?!”
There was a wail of disbelief, disbelief, and dissatisfaction in the Hall of No Ease …….
But there was no help.
The Holy Spirit’s golden words had been spoken, the wood had been turned into a boat, they couldn’t change anything, they could only whine and express envy and jealousy towards Zhu Pingan, the person who had been lucky.
By the time Zhu Pingan was ordered to go to the Great Main Hall, when he came out from the Hall of No-Ease, he was filled with the eyes of the people in the Hall of No-Ease.
Those eyes made Zhu Pingan feel as if he was a monkey who was basking in the monkey’s presence, as if he was a villain who had plucked their peaches with despicable means.
“It seems as if he has become a target ……”
Zhu Pingan indifferently shrugged his shoulders and softly muttered to himself.
