Confucian scholar Wang came at the right time.
In fact, life in the palace is somewhat boring.
Zhu Houzhao is not a person who hates reading. Our ancestors are still very wise.
It's a pity that his classical Chinese skills are really not good enough, and he can't understand it even if he wants to read it.
In addition to really wanting to ask for advice,
Zhu Houzhao originally planned to fight for the moral high ground.
Let us first discuss benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust, and then set this person up.
If he gives people a bohemian impression, then a group of people will jump out to oppose whatever he does.
He can live happily on his own.
But he doesn't want to be the kind of person who sneers at his ancestors because they didn't do well in some things due to the times, and when it's his turn, his mind is full of singing and singing every night.
"...My lord, Shao Zhan is in charge of the king. Please see His Highness."
A middle-aged man who is not very eye-catching and seems to have a bit of a belly.
This is Zhu Houzhao's impression.
"No courtesy. Mr. Wang came at the right time. I have a few words I would like to ask you."
This is not fake,
There are sentences like "Looking at Bi Qi'ao" and "Se Xi Xi Xi" in "The Great Learning".
It’s no use having a good memory for this thing, I can’t understand what it means at all.
Wang Hao saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was still a child. Although his face was immature, he actually came over to him with a book in hand to ask for advice.
He was a little distracted for a moment.
The Ming Dynasty has been around for more than a hundred years, and has been passed down by several generations of emperors.
As in previous dynasties, the influence of two or three of the more capable emperors of the present period has disappeared;
Some unreliable people and incredible things appeared one after another.
Is Wang Hao lucky enough to meet a British master?
Especially the conversation with Xie Qian that day. In fact, if there is no one behind the prince to teach him, wouldn't it just show the prince's intelligence?
"Mr. Wang?"
Wang Hao was shocked after hearing the prince's urging, and immediately saluted, "I've lost my temper, please punish me."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while,
Logically speaking, no.
After the emperor finished speaking that day, he must have carefully selected a person who was excellent in all aspects and sent him to the East Palace.
Such a person should be extremely polite.
"There is no need to punish him. However, I would like to know, what was Mr. Wang thinking just now?"
Wang Hao behaves like a gentleman.
A gentleman should talk to others about everything.
"Your Majesty. I was thinking just now that your Majesty is so eager to learn despite his humble age. I am bound to have a sage king in the future. Therefore, I feel a little excited."
From these people,
What Zhu Houzhao saw was expectation.
Maybe there is something wrong with the official group, and some of them are lining their own pockets.
They became a new interest group, annexing land and amassing property.
But it is undeniable that some old scholars have been brainwashed by Confucianism and are truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and truly hope that the world and the people will be well.
Once a master meets their expectations, it will really make a scholar die for his confidant.
The purity of the ancients was able to do this.
"It's not easy to be a saint." Zhu Houzhao opened the book again, "But to be a saint, you don't have to recognize all the characters."
"Your Highness's words are polite. When you travel far, you will feel at home, and when you climb high, you will humble yourself. Since Your Highness has something to ask, I will give it to you without any reservation." Wang Hao held the salute and spoke decisively.
Zhu Houzhao was confused, what can he do?
To be honest, this is why he needs to read and write.
These people have become accustomed to gossiping about literary texts. If you don't read and talk to them, you won't be able to understand them.
So the old man and the young boy started teaching and learning like this.
Zhu Houzhao is a good student.
Wang Hao is naturally not a bad teacher.
Liu Jin listened carefully, but he was not interested in those things.
Instead, I was thinking about something else.
Originally His Highness was looking for those two people, and now this one is here.
I guess Zhang Tianrui and Yang Tinghe can't get into His Majesty's eyes.
Huh, I offended him before.
"Liu Jin, go get some tea."
"yes."
The old eunuch began to direct people to prepare these things.
After leaving the house, I went to the two Zhongyun officials. They had a arrogant look, which clearly showed the villain's successful face.
"Ahem." Zhang Tianrui's condition is worse than that day. Maybe it's because of the cooler weather or maybe because of his mentality. In short, his body is as weak as the wind and his complexion is not as good as before.
On the other hand, Yang Tinghe was still normal and cupped his hand: "Eunuch Liu."
"How are you, my lords?" Liu Jin said with great satisfaction, "Today, His Majesty issued a decree and sent Wang Yao and Wang Zhanshi to teach His Highness... Sir Zhang, this should not scare you anymore."
This means that Zhang Tianrui was too timid and too stupid that day, and refused the prince without knowing how to adapt.
Liu Jin's words and deeds are unnecessary, but that's the kind of person he is.
If you meet someone who loses power and offends him, he will definitely not get good results from him.
Zhang Tianrui lamented that he had lived in poverty for ten years, and now that he was about to turn fifty, he could only bear this eunuch's temper.
The evening scene is not that late yet, but the desolation is already so desolate.
I felt helpless and felt that all the trees were withered. He raised his hand and said, "Jiefu and I..."
Hearing these four words, Yang Tinghe's heart trembled, "Eunuch Liu, I have offended you many times before. Please forgive me."
Liu Jin snorted, tossed his sleeves and walked away.
Zhang Tianrui felt as if a huge stone had sunk in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, "Ahem... cough..."
Seeing that his cough was getting worse, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but worry, "Mr. Zhang, are you okay? Why don't you find a doctor to take a look at you?"
Zhang Tianrui waved his hand and held on to the railing to find a place to sit.
Speaking of outside the Jie Fang Hall,
Zhang Yong, who had received the mission earlier, rushed in with small steps and was stopped halfway.
"Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Zhang, why is it so urgent?"
"Where is Your Highness? I want to see Your Highness."
"Wang Zhanshi is here. His Highness is studying with Wang Zhanshi. Is it possible that he will annoy His Highness by rushing in so eagerly?"
Zhang Yong was also a little hesitant, but thinking that he would probably be punished if he failed to do what Zhu Houzhao told him, he made up his mind.
"If anything happens, I'll take care of it myself."
Now that he said this, the little eunuch could only shake his head helplessly and make way for him.
"...To be a king, stop at benevolence; to be a minister, stop at respect; to be a son, stop at filial piety; to be a father, stop at kindness..."
The crown prince continued to learn to read and write under Wang Hao's guidance. His calligraphy was really unreadable and he couldn't even accept it.
Just as he was writing "Being a King", Zhang Yong walked in.
"Your Highness..."
"Say." Zhu Houzhao continued to write without raising his head: "Zhi Yu Ren."
Zhang Yong came over and said, "Your Highness, the two maids I met today, the Queen, have come down with a decree..."
Sure enough.
Although Zhu Houzhao had expected it, he could only sigh when he heard it.
The word "Ren" is the second horizontal line, and the ink is a bit heavy.
"Mr. Wang, there is something going on in the palace. That's all we can do today."
Wang Hao frowned. Children want to run away while studying, which gives him a very bad feeling. He hoped that the prince really had something to do, instead of just learning for a while and taking the opportunity to escape.
Considering that it was his first time and he couldn't directly question the prince, he reluctantly nodded despite being a little unhappy.
"That minister, please retire first."
"Well. Zhang Yong, follow me to Kunning Palace." Zhu Houzhao stood up as he said this, passed Wang Hao and walked out of the palace.
