"Where's that traitor?"
Wang Hua entered the house in a hurry, with his head lowered and looking unhappy.
The housekeeper in the mansion was a little scared and timidly said: "Go out... go out."
When Wang Hua heard this, he was even more excited!
Why are other people's sons studying hard, and they all have some talents? Or you can just be a mediocre person and just keep the family business of your ancestors.
He is the only one who has given birth to such a son. He is smart and everyone praises him, but he just doesn’t do anything serious!
An angry Wang Hua sat in the main room. After waiting for more than an hour, the bastard figure finally appeared.
Wang Shouren ran away secretly, so he knew that his old father must be furious while he was still on the road.
To say that he is also sensible, he behaved as soon as he returned home after irritating his father. He originally wanted to hide for a while, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father waiting for him, so he ignored it and went to kiss him in a decent manner. Dad knelt down.
"The child pays homage to his father. Don't let your father be angry. The child knows that he was wrong."
Wang Hua rubbed his bulging head and asked, "Where have you been?"
"My child...went to General Wang Yue's house."
Wang Hua:"……"
Contrary to Wang Shouren's expectation, his father was unusually quiet.
"father……"
"Alas..." Wang Hua let out a long sigh, "Today, the East Palace also summoned my father."
Wang Shouren pricked his ears,
From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the series of actions of the Prince of the East Palace shocked people's hearts, as if the shadow of a generation of holy kings had appeared.
Wang Shouren was influenced by his family education since he was a child, and he cherished the idea of serving the country.
Therefore, he was also extremely concerned about the Prince of the East Palace.
"I don't know what this kid like you is capable of... Your Highness actually knows that I have a son named Wang Shouren who is passionate about the art of war."
Wang Shouren was very surprised, "Your Highness knows about me?"
"It's strange to be a father, but that's the truth." At this point, Wang Hua's fatherly gaze came out, "Your Highness persuaded me to allow you to go to the northwest with Wang Yue."
"What?!" Wang Shouren was stunned.
"Father agreed?"
"Before I come to the East Palace, do you agree or not? My father just wants to say goodbye to you... The northwest is not Zhejiang, and we are facing war. You go here..." In the end, Wang Hua still loves his son.
Blood is thicker than water, and Wang Shouren is very talented and is the smartest among his sons.
When it comes to parting,
The two people who have a deep love for each other as father and son can never create a comedy atmosphere.
"Besides, it was Enke again in the twelfth year of Hongzhi."
Wang Shouren kowtowed, "Don't worry, father, although the child does not follow the rules, he is not unlearned and incompetent. In fact, articles and military art are my interests. This time I go west, the child will not neglect his studies. "
"His Royal Highness said that Wang Hao is also going with him. His articles are very good. You can ask for advice nearby."
When Wang Shouren heard this, he said more pleasant things, "Father, there is no need to worry about the child. The man has ambitions in all directions. The child is going to learn literature from Lord Wang Hao and martial arts from Lord Wang Yue, and in the future he will become one of the pillars of the imperial court like his father." minister!"
These words are from Wang Hua’s heart,
Although this child often made him angry, when it came to popularity, he was probably the most popular.
And why Dong Gong specifically mentioned his son was also something Wang Hua muttered in his heart. Maybe they met at some critical point. Although the trip to the northwest is long and difficult, it is still meant to be exercise.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..."
On the second day of February, outside the city walls of the capital, flags were flying and war horses were neighing.
Wang Yue rode his horse and finally looked back at the majestic city of Beijing. Wang Hao and Wang Shouren behind him also looked back in the same way.
"I thought of what His Highness said to me." Wang Hao started to say this. Without waiting for others to ask, he continued to talk to himself, "His Highness said that if I have money and people in Ming Dynasty, I must not let others Bullied!"
Although these words came from the mouth of a civil servant, they had the power to make dozens of warriors present hold the reins tightly.
"Follow me to take office!" Wang Yue shouted.
"yes!"
There was a crash, followed by horse hooves that scattered dust like smoke.
…
…
In the palace, there were two things that attracted more attention. One was that Xu Pu, the head of the cabinet, could not stand it any longer, so he once again begged the emperor to become an official.
The emperor agreed.
The relationship between Hongzhi and his ministers is still very good, and Xu Pu is indeed older, not because of conflicts between the monarch and his ministers or other reasons.
People around him also know that the old man cannot see clearly with his eyes, and even after he retires, he still needs to have his eyes treated.
So everything was calm.
After Xu Pu became an official,
Liu Jian took over as head of the cabinet, followed closely by Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
The so-called three things to do when a new official takes office:
This new cabinet has come out, it’s bound to do something, right? So what is the most important thing right now?
This is the second thing mentioned above: the East Palace came out of the cabinet to give lectures.
When Xu Pu left, Zhu Houzhao knew that he would not be able to escape this day. And according to the emperor's decree last year, basically time can't be delayed.
The only thing that can prolong the delay is to 'choose an auspicious day'.
The auspicious day is not tomorrow after all, so naturally it will be postponed.
But Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this, because it didn't mean anything to him.
He still practiced calligraphy and archery at his own pace. If he had time, he would also exercise and follow Zhang Yong in doing a few sets of martial arts moves.
Because I have requirements for myself, and this requirement is to become a young emperor with both civil and military skills and talents.
The young emperor should not just be young and romantic, the most important thing is to be resourceful and possess the power of the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to the prince's education. According to the rules set by his old man, the task of studying for a child was quite heavy.
There is also a lot of content taught, generally focusing on the traditional Four Books and Five Classics such as "Great Learning" and "Shangshu". In addition, we will also study "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and "Emperor Fan", which contain the historical texts of the past dynasties. There are things like "faint king" and "bright king". The purpose is to teach the prince to be a good emperor.
In addition, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also compiled books for their sons. There is no need to mention Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor Ming Ancestor Instructions". There are also "Shengxue Xinfa" compiled by Emperor Taizong, "Emperor's Instructions" compiled by Emperor Xuanzong, "Wenhua Precepts" compiled by Emperor Xianzong, etc.
Finally, there are articles written by literati from past dynasties, such as Wang Bo, Su Shi, Liu Zongyuan, etc. It is not appropriate to say that you are a scholar but have never read Wang Bo's articles or Su Shi's poems.
In fact, these contents are more or less.
Zhu Houzhao is not yet an adult, so even if the ministers set the learning content, there will not be much.
But there is also a problem, that is, I was unlucky and met Liu Jin and Wu Kuan.
Wu Kuan doesn’t need to say anything.
The new cabinet chief Liu Jian is really not an ordinary person.
The old man is 65 years old this year. He received an orthodox and strict Confucian education since he was a child, and his teacher was the Neo-Confucian scholar Xue Xuan. He became a Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven, and then spent his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.
He was very conscientious in his studies and work, and would never be sloppy. He always believed that what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong. He also had an upright character. He stayed in the Hanlin Academy for twenty-eight years. Others told him to get promoted quickly, but he didn't. He just worked hard. Therefore, he is also known as "Liu Mumu".
Nowadays, the two old men are the head of the cabinet and Zhan Shifu.
Together they came to a conclusion: Dong Gong is smart, but has a strange intellect, so he must be led to the right path.
Originally, Xu Pu was given a limit of 100 words per day.
The two old men looked at each other, and Wu Kuan said: "Your Highness is very talented. Isn't this a bit lacking?"
Liu Jian pretended to be convinced, "Maybe two hundred?"
"See you, Mr. Liu Ge."
Wu Kuan added: "I heard that His Highness is knowledgeable and has a strong memory. If the articles he teaches every day are only one or two hundred words, there is nothing much to talk about."
"Yes, if Your Highness has not learned enough, it will be our negligence as ministers."
Originally, the emperor's will was to discuss this matter again, but as a result, the two old men 'conspired' together and made the crown prince's course workload heavy.
Not only did Emperor Hongzhi look wrong, but Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting next to the emperor, was also secretly angry. It was not like he had not seen Xu Pu's original plan.
Originally, it was easy to learn a hundred words a day, and it was also easy to memorize the articles I had learned. There are also some riding and shooting courses. It's good to have content and rest every day.
Now, my calligraphy practice has doubled, and I just need to study more articles. I also have to come over and read "The Great Learning" and "Spring and Autumn" every day. Brainwashing, right? In fact, the emperor's Confucian classics had similar requirements. The status of Confucianism was still unshakable, so naturally some of its classics were studied over and over again.
Zhu Houzhao didn't like this. He didn't hate learning, but he hated long-term, cram-feeding and oppressive learning.
Looking at the two senior officials with gray hair wearing red robes, he felt a little powerless. Why did these old men always give him the feeling that he was forced to obey?
The emperor hesitated for a long time and then asked softly, "Why have the contents of the former cabinet minister Xu Puding been changed?"
Wu Kuan raised his hands, saluted and replied: "Return to your Majesty. I think that His Highness the Crown Prince has little talent and always has clever words. Given His Highness's talent, the original plan was too simple."
I'm so stupid!
