"Isn't it Zijun? Isn't he embarrassed? Doesn't he understand others? He's not happy. He has friends from far away? He's not talking about it. He learns from time to time."
"Your Majesty, I have finished carrying it!"
Chen Ziyu finished reciting the Analects of Confucius backwards in one breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief!
Emperor Hongzhi was different from other emperors. Not only had he read poetry and books since he was a child, he also had great respect for intellectuals.
Obviously, Chen Ziyu's guess was absolutely correct.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was completely stunned by Chen Ziyu's hand, and the expression on his face obviously relaxed a lot.
Although I often hear that so-and-so memorizes the Analects of Confucius by heart, Emperor Hongzhi has never actually seen so-and-so recite the entire Analects of Confucius backwards and forwards!
If we were to memorize the Analects of Confucius straight up, almost any scholar could do it!
You must know that the recitation of words requires coherence and coordination!
Once the Analects of Confucius is read upside down, it is simply incomprehensible and unclear!
But obviously no one has enough to eat and has nothing to do!
"Ziyu, how did you do this?"
Emperor Hongzhi had completely forgotten about the erotic pictures just now!
Even the title of Chen Ziyu was changed from Qing to Ziyu unconsciously.
Hey! This trick really works!
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi had completely changed, Chen Ziyu couldn't help but become bolder. She smiled and arched her hands towards Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty, I was actually a little frivolous when I was young, but later I felt that life cannot be wasted in drinking and sex."
"Now, in fact, being a dandy is just my appearance. I often stay at home and study hard! Compared to the place where fireworks are hanging, I would rather fly in the ocean of books."
"In short, I love reading, and reading makes me happy!"
Chen Ziyu started talking nonsense and wanted to scare Emperor Hongzhi first!
Emperor Hongzhi was even more puzzled after hearing this, and said doubtfully: "Ziyu, why don't you explain it to others? Do you have to use your status as a playboy to taint yourself?"
After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and motioned for him to stand up and reply.
"I thank your Majesty!"
Chen Ziyu rubbed his sore knees and stood up despite the discomfort.
I secretly cursed in my heart that the kneeling ceremony of this feudal dynasty was really uncomfortable!
"Your Majesty clearly knows that those who know me say that I am worried, but those who do not know me say that what do I want! I think that those who understand me do not need explanations, but those who misunderstand me and need explanations do not care!"
"In addition, Mencius said: It is better to have no books than to believe in books! I couldn't agree more with this statement, so during the day I pretended to be a playboy and played in the world. At night, I imitated the ancients, hanging my head, hanging beams, cones and thorns, and absorbed knowledge from books."
"I think that only by combining the two can we gain useful knowledge!"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, still a little hard to understand.
Today it was really a knife that opened my eyes.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone explain spending time and drinking in a brothel so elegantly and refinedly!
Emperor Hongzhi had never heard of this method of learning.
But seeing him quoting scriptures at his fingertips, I also believed that Chen Ziyu had some knowledge in his belly.
"Aren't you worried that others will misunderstand you?"
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people laugh at me because I am too crazy. I laugh at others without seeing through it! I don't care what others think of me. I have a clear conscience!"
Chen Ziyu showed a melancholy expression while talking.
Then he made a long bow to Emperor Hongzhi!
The world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it!
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stared at Chen Ziyu with wide eyes!
Is this what a prodigal son who is despised by everyone can say?
Even Xiao Jing on the side opened his mouth wide!
It was really difficult for him to connect Chen Ziyu at this time with the son of Ping Jiangbo, a playboy and prodigal who did nothing but bullshit!
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was extremely shocked by him!
Chen Ziyu raised his head and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, feeling secretly happy!
However, the expression on his face remained melancholy and he continued:
"Knowing everything in the world is knowledge, and understanding people's feelings is writing! I do this because I hope to learn more. If there is a chance in the future, I can report it to the imperial court and help the people!"
After saying that, while Emperor Hongzhi wasn't paying attention, he secretly pinched himself hard, trying hard to make his eyes turn red!
As a result, I used too much force, and I grimaced in pain and almost burst into tears!
Emperor Hongzhi stood up suddenly and put his hands behind his back!
In the small study room, I started reading back and forth!
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi had completely believed Chen Ziyu's words!
Even though he still felt that what Chen Ziyu said seemed a bit unreliable!
However, relying on the two sentences "The world laughs at me for being crazy, I laugh at others without seeing through it" and "Knowing everything in the world is knowledge, and understanding people's feelings is writing", Emperor Hongzhi concluded that Chen Ziyu had a great talent!
Who can write such philosophical poems, would he be a dandy?
As for plagiarism?
If someone had written such a poem before, it would have been sung long ago and is regarded as a classic!
Are you still waiting for Chen Ziyu to copy it?
Now Emperor Hongzhi finally understood why his daughter was so sure that Chen Ziyu was a great talent!
He must have demonstrated his knowledge in front of Xiurong.
Although Zhu Xiurong was born as a girl, she also received royal education like Zhu Houzhao since she was a child.
Although I don’t say that I am very knowledgeable, I have been exposed to those knowledges since I was a child, and my vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people!
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly thought of something very important!
Zhu Houzhao's education problem has always been the biggest concern of Emperor Hongzhi!
Important ministers in the court, such as cabinet scholars such as Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others, were all assigned the important task of teaching the prince by Emperor Hongzhi!
But the effect is minimal!
The reason is that Zhu Houzhao is too playful, and can even be said to be naughty!
As long as it is time to teach, you will find various reasons!
There are 365 days in a year, and at least 300 of them are excused to take sick leave due to stomachache!
Coupled with his status as an only son, Emperor Hongzhi did not dare to push him too hard!
But no matter how ridiculous Zhu Houzhao is, he can't be more ridiculous than the person in front of him!
Chen Ziyu!
That's the number one dude in the capital!
Emperor Hongzhi also sought information from Xiao Jing, and his rich resume was simply staggering!
Are there such uneducated scumbags in this world?
But at this moment, Chen Ziyu, who was standing in front of Emperor Hongzhi, was full of knowledge and could quote scriptures at will!
Not only that, you can also compose poetry!
And the poems are so philosophical!
Even a scumbag like Chen Ziyu can change his ways, why can't the prince?
As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Hongzhi's heart became hot!
"Ziyu, do you have a special way of learning? Or is it that Uncle Ping Jiang taught me well?"
Chen Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed!
There is no way!
It’s nothing more than bragging!
But these words must not be uttered, otherwise you may be skinned by Emperor Hongzhi on the spot!
He thought about it and decided to keep pretending like this!
Of course, Chen Ziyu knew that he must not talk nonsense, otherwise he would be exposed and he would not be able to live with it.
So after thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyu said:
"Your Majesty, interest is the best teacher! I usually cultivate the habit of reading and develop my interest in reading!"
Chen Ziyu knew very well that there would be no fault in these words even if they were placed in future generations, and they had become a learning creed for many people!
Now in the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely flawless and impeccable!
After listening to this, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became enlightened! The eyes are brilliant again and again!
That’s right!
For example, he himself loves to play the piano, so no matter how awkward the music score is, he can study it patiently!
The saints all say that the greatest truth is simplicity!
It turns out that this is what the great simplicity means!
I didn't understand such a simple truth, but asked Ziyu to give some pointers!
"What Ziyu said is true to every word!"
Emperor Hongzhi had completely believed in Chen Ziyu!
The fierce look he had just now has long since disappeared without a trace, and he has returned to his sage and sage appearance!
"Xiao Banban, drive back to the palace!"
Emperor Hongzhi informed Xiao Jing, and then walked out the door with his head held high!
Only Chen Ziyu was left with a dull look on his face!
Hey, hey, why are you leaving like this?
what should I do?
What should I do with my princess wife?
"Your Majesty! Minister..."
"Ziyu doesn't need to say more, I know what you want to say, I have my own arrangements!"
After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi disappeared from Chen Ziyu's eyes without looking back!
