Kong Gongjian's idea is simple.
They just wanted to continue to establish their Confucian status through Zhu Xuan.
Because not long ago, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Confucianism and deleted a lot of Confucian content in the imperial examination, and no longer selected scholars according to stereotypes. This made Kong Gongjian feel a crisis.
I think something needs to be done to restore their Confucian status.
Then supporting the new king and becoming a god teacher is the best way.
As long as Zhu Xuan likes Confucianism, Confucianism can still occupy an orthodox position in the future, but he doesn't know that it is Zhu Xuan who proposed reforming Confucianism, reforming the imperial examination, and reducing the proportion of Confucianism in the imperial examination.
If he knew, he might not dare to be angry on the surface, but secretly, he would definitely be pissed to death.
"Your Highness, you must be serious."
"Confucianism is indispensable for governing a country."
"The knowledge of our ancestor Kong Sage has been passed down for thousands of years and is still used today, which shows how important our Confucian knowledge is."
Kong Gongjian said solemnly.
In fact, the reason why monarchs of all dynasties chose Confucianism was because Confucianism suited the needs of the rulers.
Those thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and moral concepts such as benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust are what the rulers want most. Only by using these to educate the people can the people of the world obey all the arrangements of the court.
Governance can maintain stability.
"I see."
Zhu Xuan felt dumbfounded when he heard what Kong Gongjian had to say again.
However, what Kong Gongjian said made sense, and he was usually willing to listen patiently.
Today, Zhu Xuan stayed in the main hall all day.
The lectures did not end until the evening.
Zhu Xuan brought all kinds of homework and returned to the East Palace. He asked Hou Xian to prepare dinner and eat something briefly before doing his homework. When he saw that Hou Xian did not show up.
Instead, a cute and cute little palace maid who looked very well-behaved and quiet brought dinner over.
This little palace maid is about the same age as Zhu Xuan. She is very good-looking, with a round face and a bit of baby fat. She is plump and has a charm that is different from her age.
The little palace maid has such a figure, it seems that she is more likely to have children.
"who are you?"
Zhu Xuan saw the little palace maid for the first time. He had never seen this person before.
The little palace maid knelt in front of Zhu Xuan and whispered: "My slave Jingqiu, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness."
Zhu Xuan asked curiously: "Who asked you to come?"
"This servant was originally from Concubine Hui. She came to serve His Highness. This is His Majesty's order." Jingqiu explained.
In fact, Jingqiu understands what this service means.
When she was with Concubine Guo, she had received professional training from some old palace maids, and she understood how to do things in bed, what needed to be done, and how to teach Zhu Xuan, etc.
But by the time she finished speaking, her face was so red that it was almost dripping with water.
He took another peek at Zhu Xuan.
Jingqiu knew that being able to serve Zhu Xuan was the greatest blessing in her life, and it was also the best arrangement she had received after entering the palace. The other maids heard that she was going to be sent to Zhu Xuan, and they didn't know how envious they were.
"Serve me?"
Zhu Xuan seemed to understand something and said to himself: "Grandpa Huang is worried that I don't understand the bridal chamber?"
Hearing Zhu Xuan say such direct words, Jingqiu felt even more embarrassed. She lowered her head even lower now, not daring to make eye contact with Zhu Xuan, and her heart was beating very fast.
Zhu Xuan said: "Okay, come and wait on me!"
After traveling through so many years, Zhu Xuan has always been very stoic. Apart from playing with his four little wives, he has no other male-female affairs.
But now that I have grown up, I cannot always be light. At the right age, I need to eat some meat and eat some meat. Before getting married, I had a maid to serve. It was also Lao Zhu's arrangement. I was worried that I didn't understand anything.
Zhu Xuan can understand the emperor's intention. If this is the case, then he will cater to the emperor's intention.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Jingqiu received the agreement, smiled happily, knelt down and bowed.
Dinner was finished quickly.
Hou Xian just came back at this time and asked people to prepare hot water for Zhu Xuan to bathe and change clothes.
As the serving maid, Jingqiu followed Zhu Xuan all the way to the couch. She blushed and helped Zhu Xuan undress with trembling hands.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Xuan said suddenly.
Jingqiu thought she had done something wrong, so she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhu Xuan did not blame Jingqiu, but looked outside and saw an eunuch standing in front of him, holding a book and pen in his hand, as if he was recording something.
"What are you doing?"
Zhu Xuan asked.
"Return to your highness!"
The eunuch said respectfully: "This slave is recording His Highness's affairs."
In ancient times, when these embarrassing things happened to emperors and princes, someone had to record them. Firstly, it was for the purpose of writing history books. Secondly, for a person with status like Zhu Xuan, whoever favored him had to be recorded so as to determine the status of his concubines. , as well as the specific situation of the heirs, etc.
"Let's go, let's go..."
Zhu Xuan wanted to drive people away, but he couldn't let people watch from the side. He added: "You are just recording, you have to go outside, otherwise I will have people throw you out."
The eunuch was slightly frightened when he saw how powerful Zhu Xuan was, but he still went out. He could still record things outside.
Jingqiu saw that Zhu Xuan was not blaming herself, and her nervousness relaxed a lot, but she still knelt down, waiting for Zhu Xuan's order.
"Okay, get up and let's continue!"
Zhu Xuan said.
Jingqiu got up and continued to undress Zhu Xuan.
The room was filled with spring.

"His Majesty."
Yun Qi came back from the East Palace and said softly: "The maid arranged by Concubine Hui is very sensible and has already served Your Highness."
The little boy's transformation from a boy to a man was a very important matter. Zhu Yuanzhang had to pay close attention to it, and even cared about it, so he asked Yun Qi to go to the East Palace to keep an eye on it.
I'm also worried that my grandson won't know how to do it and will be a little embarrassed.
Hearing what Yun Qi said, his worries were temporarily put aside.
"Our dear grandson has really grown up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "Yunqi, bring us some wine and food, we want to celebrate."
When my good grandson grew up, he was the one who brought him up.
Just thinking about it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
The most important thing is that his good grandson is so sensible and capable, and he knows everything. Zhu Yuanzhang feels more happy and wants to drink even more.
I also want to tell Zhu Biao and the girl.
Our Lao Zhu family has a good grandson and a good emperor. I don’t know how wonderful it would be.
"His Majesty!"
When Hou Xian heard this, he said in embarrassment: "His Royal Highness the Little Emperor Sun has told you that your Majesty had better not drink casually. This is not good for your health."
"Who do you listen to, you old guy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed.
How can we not drink on this big day?
Yun Qi knelt down and said, "Old slave, I only listen to what is good for Your Majesty. I really can't drink anymore. It's not good for your health."
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, but finally stopped drinking and waved his hand: "Forget it, get out!"
