In Fang Xiaoru's heart, Zhu Xuan is more suitable to be a saint than the emperor's grandson.
It's just that Zhu Xuan can no longer be a saint.
Even Zhu Xuan can't answer the questions that were taught to him in Dabentang.
"no!"
Fang Xiaoru said solemnly: "I am looking for your majesty to arrange for your highness to return to the main hall to study. Your highness has the appearance of a saint!"
It is difficult for a saint to appear.
From the time of Zhu Zi to the present, there are basically no people with this qualification.
In the decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a saint. Fang Xiaoru must not miss Zhu Xuan's opportunity to become a saint.
Zhu Xuan: "..."
Seeing Fang Xiaoru leave like this, he had a very uneasy feeling. He was wondering whether Grandpa Huang would force him to stay in the main hall to study next?
This is very bad!
Zhu Xuan believes that there is no need to study anymore.
What I know now is completely sufficient for governing the country.
If you continue to learn, it will be meaningless and you will become a corrupt scholar.
"Mr. Fang, I advise you to be kind and don't do anything random!" Zhu Xuan was thinking in his heart.
The next saint is Wang Yangming.
But it will still be decades before Wang Yangming appears.
Not long after Fang Xiaoru left, Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin also came. As for the two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, Qitai and Huang Zicheng, they had not come to see Zhu Xuan for a long time, but Yang Shiqi also came on their behalf.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
they said in unison.
Xie Jin first said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the three-year period is almost over."
Zhu Xuan said: "What do you want?"
Yang Shiqi said: "We discussed it and made a detailed plan for the future Zhanshi Mansion in advance for His Highness. By the end of the year, His Highness will move into the East Palace and everything will start smoothly."
Zhan Shifu is equivalent to a small court.
The owner inside is the prince, now the emperor's grandson.
There is a simplified version of everything in the big court, and there is a simplified version in the small court of Zhan Shifu. The purpose is to let the emperor's grandson help handle the emperor's affairs and familiarize himself with everything about being an emperor in advance.
They were all promoted by Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already hinted that they would be the members of Zhan Shifu in the future.
For this reason, they worked very hard and prepared very carefully.
They also tried their best to do everything for Zhu Xuan in advance. When they enter Zhan Shifu in the future, they will be the true ministers of Conglong. As long as they assist Zhu Xuan well, their future status will definitely not be low.
Of course, Zhu Xuan understood what they were thinking. After looking at the plan they were sent, he saw that it was indeed done well. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work on these things."
"It's not hard for me to wait!"
After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, the two of them felt happy.
This is Zhu Xuan's recognition.
Then their future is stable and it is a great honor to support the next emperor to ascend the throne.
Zhu Xuan added: "But it will be a long time until the end of the year. We will talk about this in the future. There should be no other problems on your side, right?"
Xie Jin shook his head and said: "Not yet!"
Since there was no such thing, Zhu Xuan asked them to retreat.
In fact, the entire court is preparing for the end of the year.
To put it simply, it is preparation for Zhu Xuan to become the emperor's grandson.
Especially for the Ministry of Rites, a ceremony is required to register the emperor's grandson.
Now that Zhu Xuan is going to take power, no one can stop him, and it is impossible to stop him anymore. Everything is a foregone conclusion. Even if there are still people who are dissatisfied, they have to agree and cannot object at this time.
night.
Zhu Xuan went back to have dinner with Lao Zhu and mentioned Fang Xiaoru's incident.
"That old guy always thought that my good grandson was qualified to be a saint."
"He asked us to raise good grandchildren."
"Go back to the main hall and let him teach our good grandson."
"If my dear grandson becomes a saint, then who will be our grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
There was a grandson of a saint, whom he thought was very good, but the saint and the emperor's grandson seemed incompatible, so he could only discard one of them and take the other.
After all, once you become a saint, it will be difficult to devote yourself to governing the country.
With Zhu Xuan's previous opposition to Confucianism as a foreshadowing, Zhu Yuanzhang had no initial interest in the so-called Confucian saints, and he didn't think much of them.
It is better to be your own good grandson, take over the Ming Dynasty, and let the Ming Dynasty last forever.
"Grandpa Huang understands the truth!"
After hearing this, Zhu Xuan knew that the nightmare of going back to the main hall and studying Confucianism systematically could be put aside.
Grandpa Huang still knew that Confucianism should be learned to a sufficient level.
Seeing the civil servants in the court again, Lao Zhu also understood that today's Confucianism is no longer completely like that of Confucius. At this point in its development, it has become somewhat degenerate.
The ideas of Sage Confucius were good, but later generations misinterpreted them too much, which made Confucianism become worse and worse.
"You! You just want to walk outside."
"When you become the grandson of the emperor, you must be careful, you know?"
"We were still thinking that you could help us read the memorial so that we don't have to be too tired."
Zhu Yuanzhang warned.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "My grandson understands, but the emperor's grandfather is in good health now and will have no problem being the emperor for another fifty years. My grandson's plan for the stars and the sea has not been completed yet!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "What a sea of stars. Now that there is a sea, when can we see the stars of Guaisun?"
"Actually, it's not impossible to fly into the sky."
Zhu Xuan thought about it for a moment. With the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty, it is very easy to fly to the sky, and then said: "It's just that the stars are too difficult, and it's not possible yet."
To fly, just make a hot air balloon.
But to see the stars, you must have aerospace technology.
The Ming Science Pavilion still has hundreds of years of development before it can achieve aerospace.
"My dear grandson can still fly into the sky?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked unconvincingly.
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Of course my grandson can do it. Grandpa Huang, wait a moment. My grandson will let the people in the Science Pavilion work on it tomorrow to research something that can fly."
"Ha ha……"
Zhu Yuanzhang just treated himself as a good grandson and didn't care about the joke. He said casually: "Then let's wait!"
Humans are not birds, so how can they fly?
Zhu Xuan also knew that Grandpa Huang did not believe in him.
But it doesn’t matter!
When the time comes to make something, it will amaze Grandpa Huang and the entire Ming Dynasty!
They can't make a plane, but they can make a hot air balloon, and the people in the Science Pavilion have no problem at all.
——
Time passed very quickly, and another two days passed.
Zhu Yunxi, who returned from Wudang Mountain, finally returned outside the city.
After hiding from Lan Yu for so long, and seeing that the end of the year was coming, Zhu Yunxi also missed his wife and children at home, and finally wanted to come back.
Song Yuanqiao is still very reliable. Zhu Yunxi is in great health now and has become stronger. It feels really good to maintain health on Wudang Mountain. If Grandpa Huang didn't need to govern the Ming Dynasty, he would have wanted to take Grandpa Huang up the mountain.
As an emperor, if you continue to seek immortality and ask questions, you will be a coward.
"Second brother!"
As soon as he walked into the city gate, Zhu Yunxi saw a familiar figure whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He smiled and said, "Brother, you are back too!"
