However, Zhu Youxiao's requirements for the children of the clan and nobles were not just to study. He also required them to be trained in riding, archery and martial arts.
Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao tightened the rules on their education, these clan members and noble children who used to only know how to fight cocks and horses did not have much free time.
"Hit! Hit hard! Even if you shoot an arrow and miss the target, you can't even draw the bow. Are you still worthy of His Majesty? Are you worthy of your ancestors who were brave and good at fighting in the past?!"
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao personally inspected the martial arts training of the noble disciples.
The clan members have not held military positions for many years, and there are no training requirements for riding, archery or martial arts. He can be trained from scratch by the clan children.
However, the imperial court has always had martial arts requirements for the noble sons.
After all, the pro-army guards in the capital are still nominally commanded by these nobles.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to review the noble children.
But Zhu Youxiao was very disappointed after reviewing the martial arts training of the noble children, and asked the British Duke to be stricter on these noble children.
In order to satisfy the emperor, the British Duke Zhang Weixian had no choice but to continue to punish these noble disciples who had not performed well. He also reprimanded loudly. The purpose was to let the people in Dongchang hear it and then spread it to In the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, let His Majesty the Emperor know.
"pain!"
"It hurts!"
The young noble disciples were all beaten badly as a result.
The elders among the nobles were naturally quite distressed by this, after all, those who were beaten were their children and grandchildren.
However, now it was Zhu Youxiao who demanded strict education for these noble children, and they did not dare to disobey, so they could only hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
But no matter what, next, these noble disciples had to work hard to practice riding, archery and martial arts while studying hard.
The same goes for the clan members.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty forcefully forced these people to either study or train every day.
The education of the princes also began to be strictly implemented after the arrival of civil and military masters.
Before dawn in the morning, these princes were required to go to the Wenhua Hall to study, and then in the afternoon, they trained in basic martial arts skills at the training ground of the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Hall.
Although the princes are still young, what they learn and practice is not very difficult. They are just reading enlightenment books and simple Tang poems, or running and so on. But for the princes who are only more than three years old, they are already considered to be capable. Very bitter.
Every morning, there would be cries from princes in various palaces in the inner court, telling them not to go to school.
Zhu Youxiao naturally knew these situations through Neichang and Dongchang.
He also admitted that he was a little strict in doing so, but when he thought that if the original historical development continued, the country's destiny might only last less than twenty years, he did not dare to relax.
…
"Originally, it was just for the eldest son to go out to study in order to prepare for the establishment of a prince in the future, but now it has become a matter for all the princes to receive education, and they all receive the most rigorous education. It is more rigorous than the previous education for princes. They must learn all six arts, and even not only Not only the princes, but also the clan and nobles have such strict requirements. This shows that the holy will is to make all princes, clans and even nobles become available talents! This is completely contrary to our original intention. Our original intention was to It is better to stabilize the country's foundation now, but the country's foundation is even more unstable than it is now. Once these princes and even the clan have the intention to covet Tai'a in the future, and the nobles also have the intention to participate in the government, the situation in the government will be more complicated in the future. complex!"
Chen Yan, who had taken refuge in Fang Congzhe and Fang Shihong's father and son, couldn't help but visit Fang Mansion after learning that Gu Bingqian proposed that the eldest son of the emperor go out to study. .
Mo Yu, the servant of the Fang Mansion who Fang Shihong took with him wherever he went, stood quietly aside like a puppet, memorizing Chen Yan's words word for word in his mind.
No one else noticed him.
Only surrounded by Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan and others, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who was lying on a wicker chair, glanced at him, then closed his eyes and said, "This is a good thing!"
"Yuanfu, how can this be a good thing? People like Xu Guangqi, Yuan Keli, and Bi Ziyan have no dealings with us. If the clan and nobles get involved in the future, I'm afraid there will be even more people who have no dealings with us."
Chen Yan replied.
"This is more beneficial to the country."
Fang Congzhe replied.
No one could answer any more, but Fang Shihong said angrily: "Why don't you understand? If you don't establish the foundation of the country and tighten the control of the clan and nobles' studies in order to prepare for future participation in court affairs, it is obviously to let the The Holy One is the best in making decisions, and His Majesty is the most holy king throughout the ages. The world will only become more and more prosperous in his hands. Therefore, the more this happens, the better it will be for the country!"
"The words of Mr. Xiaoge are really enlightening!"
Chen Yan had to reply and smiled awkwardly.
He had to admit that the Fang family father and son were really tactful. It was obviously Fang Congzhe who first suggested that the eldest son of the emperor should go out to study, and people like him had greater power and more in order to curry favor with the Fang family or to rely on the Fang family. Because of their own interests, they actively made a fuss about the emperor's eldest son leaving the cabinet to study, and they also wanted to use this matter to show that these people were very willing to follow the position of the Fang family and his son.
As a result, he did not expect that the Fang family father and son would immediately give up their previous plans because they guessed the emperor's intention, and began to say that this was a good thing without any principle.
"No matter how powerful the Fang family is, they are obviously just His Majesty's dogs. In this case, I, Chen Yan, might as well just surrender to the Emperor."
Chen Yan couldn't help but think so in his heart at this time.
"That's true, but I didn't expect that His Highness King Xin would be so capable of thunder. The children of the clan are now much more disciplined under his discipline. Now it seems that His Highness King Xin has personally Under the education, it has really achieved good results, and I think the princes will also be educated well in the future."
Wei Guangwei said something at this time.
Fang Congzhe just smiled lightly.
Although Wei Guangwei spoke very implicitly and seemed to only be saying that the emperor's education level was good, Fang Congzhe knew that his implication was that King Xin was simply a replica of His Majesty the Emperor. Fortunately, the one who would inherit the throne in the future would not be the emperor's brother but the prince. However, Now His Majesty is personally taking care of the education of the princes. I am afraid it will still be unavoidable that the princes will become like His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao in the future.
"This is naturally a blessing to the country. We just need to implement the matter of officials and gentry paying grain and serving as errands. Now that Shanxi has completed the implementation, the next step will be places like Shaanxi and Shandong."
Fang Congzhe glanced at Mo Yu again as he spoke.
