As the saying goes: if you are close to vermilion, you will be red; if you are close to ink, you will be black.
Chen Shigong, Imperial Physician Chen, has been dealing with the monsters of the Ming Dynasty all year round. After dealing with them too much, he naturally became a monster.
Of course, Dr. Chen will also relieve himself: His Majesty said, it is all for the sake of Ming Dynasty's medicine!
People must be good at compromising with themselves.
Zhu Yijun originally wanted to see Chen Shigong's surgery, especially the surgery for treating appendicitis in this era. This was really strange. How to anesthetize, how to dig out the heart and lungs, how to suture, how to disinfect, how to debridement and dressing change, the Ming Dynasty was This kind of thing could be done during the Wanli period. Zhu Yijun was naturally curious about how Chen Shigong did it.
But Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Juzheng's eyes burning with fire, so he decisively chose to go back to the palace to practice martial arts.
The little emperor continued to watch, and he was afraid that Zhang Juzheng was about to perform five bows and three kowtows. He bluntly said that it was a big deal to remonstrate. As for the banging of the kowtows, it caused great bitterness and hatred, and looked like the world was about to perish.
Isn't it just to see how to solve it?
Zhu Yijun was not afraid of Zhang Juzheng's rants, but the Jiecu Academy had just started. If the Jiecu Academy was disbanded because the emperor insisted on seeing Jiecu in person, Zhu Yijun would never accept it.
After returning to the palace, Feng Bao selectively reported what happened outside the palace, but he selectively concealed the little emperor's words.
His Majesty the Emperor's order to him was not to make the Queen Mother worry. As a big brother, the first thing to do is to accurately understand the meaning and grasp the key points, so that this ancestor can do it for a long time.
So the image of the sunny and cheerful little emperor needs to be maintained bit by bit by Feng Baozai in the memorial. Then some content that should be omitted must be omitted. The Spring and Autumn style of writing will cover up some things that should be emphasized. , it should be described emphatically.
Feng Bao said respectfully: "When the criminal was trembling with fear, His Majesty said to Chen Shigong, Imperial Physician Chen: Let all the people from all over the world be imbued with the virtue of Qi Shengzhao; from the sky to the end of the earth, we can all bathe in the great medical anointing." Nas May the people live long and healthy, and bring harmony to the sky!"
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old. This is Your Majesty's great wish to benefit all people!"
"Zhang Yuanfu's expression became complicated on the spot. He looked at His Majesty with a little more expectation. The ministers were whispering to each other, mostly talking about this sentence. The civil servants and generals at home and abroad are looking forward to the enlightened master and revitalize the government."
"Mr. Chen knelt down to receive the order and inherited the Holy Order to inherit the Qi Holy Gate. I think he will definitely accomplish something in the future."
Feng Bao didn't want to make a worse impression in the emperor's mind. He had behaved disrespectfully before. If his impression was worse, he might be sent to the Jiecuyuan. It would be better to just die.
Today, His Majesty is like a little King of Hell, using the most cheerful smile and saying the cruelest words.
"Well, this Wang Zhanglong is really hateful. He is a thief who cares about human life. Beheading him in front of the public is indeed an advantage. It is also appropriate to send him to the prison." Empress Dowager Li was born as a palace maid. She knew the suffering of the people. If there was some way, which parent would be cruel Send the child to the palace.
Just like the palace gate is as deep as the sea, from now on the high wall will protect you from the world of mortals.
Wang Zhanglong killed three members of the Chen family in his hometown. He was a thief in Shandong. He stole in Beijing and was addicted to gambling. He was sent to the Jiejuyuan, which made people accept him immediately.
Empress Dowager Li didn't want her child to see blood, but the child's visit to the palace allowed the courtiers to see the emperor's character. The emperor was not a cowardly person.
So what if the assassin king kills the driver? The emperor still had the courage to go to Jiecuyuan in person. Didn't the emperor meet the assassin in person?
Wang Zhanglong, the rebellious minister and traitor, was tough at first. Wasn't it because the emperor said that he was incoherent and could only beg for mercy?
The imperial power is sluggish, and the imperial power is accumulated bit by bit.
"Where did the phrase "From all directions, from the sky to the ends of the earth, the people live in longevity and health, and the air of harmony in the sky come from?" Empress Dowager Li asked a little strangely, how could a ten-year-old emperor say such words?
"It comes from "Health and Simple Prescriptions" written by Hu Hu, the Minister of Rites from Yongle to Jingtai years. This sentence was once quoted in the Imperial Palace Hospital Judgment and Execution Hospital Affairs. His Majesty was listening to the government in the Wenhua Hall today and saw this I thought it was applicable, so I wrote it down." Feng Bao said quickly.
After returning to the palace, Feng Bao was also surprised that these words were very logical. Could a ten-year-old child say this?
He asked Xiao Huangmen, the superintendent of rituals, to search for the source, only to find that this sentence was in the memorial of the Taiyuan Hospital, and this memorial was on the imperial court today.
"The maids of the Qianqing Palace went out to buy things from the palace. I once heard rumors that the ten-year-old emperor read the June Book, but he could only read it without reading it, and he was illiterate."
"Huh, it's probably the ministers who gave the banquet. They talked nonsense with the servants at home and then spread it. They didn't teach well. It's because the emperor's talent is not sensitive. Is it because of the poor teaching or the emperor's poor education? ?" Queen Mother Li became angry when she talked about this.
When the Qianqing Palace went out to purchase palace maids and returned to the palace, they discussed this prophecy in a low voice, but Empress Dowager Li overheard her.
It was hard for Empress Dowager Li to ask clearly. After all, the emperor was indeed not very good at studying. If he asked, he would be humiliating himself. If he didn't ask, he would get angrier.
Now the tone is finally smooth.
Feng Bao immediately said angrily: "What are you talking about! Your Majesty is wise and criticizing Chengyu is a crime of disrespect! When I find out, I will have to tear their mouths apart!"
Empress Dowager Li waved her hands with a smile and said: "No need at all. Right and wrong are up to people to decide. The ones who are embarrassed now are those ministers."
It's all right now. Every word of His Majesty's Majesty is well-organized. So, if the scholar who taught the feast before taught it, Zhang Juzheng could do it once he taught it?
It is self-evident whose problem it is.
The haze that shrouded Queen Mother Li's heart finally slowly dissipated, and now there was only a dark cloud left. Her prince was practicing martial arts, which seemed to be a bit unprofessional.
Zhu Yijun is practicing martial arts very seriously. He needs to protect himself. His six-year-old nephew will know this sentence in future generations.
There is output only when you are alive!
Zhu Xixiao was very satisfied with the progress of Zhu Yijun's martial arts training. The other young eunuchs who were training with him were all forced to do so. Training with the emperor in martial arts should naturally be treated with caution and seriousness.
But the emperor took the initiative to train. Zhu Xixiao saw the little emperor sweating, and deep in his heart, he suddenly had a little hope. Can the Ming Dynasty produce another emperor on horseback?
As soon as this extravagant hope came out, Zhu Xixiao immediately dismissed it. Your Majesty practiced martial arts just to have the ability to escape when facing assassins. Why should you work so hard for a natural nobleman? It won't be long before the Queen Mother has to issue an edict to put an end to the Emperor's martial arts practice.
How could Zhu Yijun know what Zhu Xixiao was thinking? He was exhausted and sweating, but on the third day of practicing martial arts, he finally stopped limping when he walked.
It's nice to be young.
He stood up straight and stood up to greet him, which was the end of today's lessons.
When a bachelor lectures on a feast, when Zhang Juzheng lectures on a feast, Zhu Yijun would bow slightly to show respect for his master. Isn’t a martial arts teacher a teacher?
Zhu Xixiao hurriedly returned the gift and wanted to praise a few words, but he really didn't study well and couldn't speak in words. The civil servants flattered him all in rhyming verses, and he could talk for three days and three nights without repeating anything. In this regard, the martial arts heroes It really can't be compared.
"Mother." Zhu Yijun showed his signature smile.
The sunny and cheerful little emperor, with this smile and a slightly chubby face, is very deceptive.
"Your Majesty, you are very good today. If you are tired of practicing martial arts, just stop. Now the situation in the court has finally stabilized." Empress Dowager Li felt sorry for the child's suffering and persuaded the emperor to give up martial arts.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The Analects of Confucius: Taibo Chapter says: Zengzi said: A scholar cannot be without great perseverance. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is far away. Isn't it also important to be benevolent when one considers one's responsibilities? Isn't it also a long way to go after death?"
"Yuan Fu explained: Only with great perseverance and perseverance can we be qualified for important tasks, go further, and go as far as we can."
"Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty once said: Worry about the worries of the world first, and rejoice when the world is happy later. Having great ambitions for the world in your heart is called grandness. If you only have selfish interests in your heart, you are narrow-minded."
"Do something with a clear goal and persevere. Everything must have a beginning and an end. This is called perseverance. If you do things without certainty, you will be weak. If you only do half of everything, you will lose the courage to face difficulties and become timid."
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li was silent for a moment and said: "Yuan Fu is a great talent and a great talent. Only today do we know that Hong Yi has this solution."
It was also the first time that she knew the word "Hongyi". It turned out that this was how it was interpreted. Zhang Juzheng's interpretation of the word "Hongyi" was not only teaching the teachings of saints, but also teaching how to be a human being. It seemed to be teaching the emperor how to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people.
"How did the emperor solve it?" Queen Mother Li asked expectantly.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The child asked Yuan Fu: What is the meaning of being ambitious but not persevering? Yuan Fu replied: If there are no rules, it is difficult to stand. If you have high vision and low hands, you will not be able to do anything. If you live high in a temple, you will be a talker. , People who talk freely will harm the country."
"The child asked Yuan Fu again: What is the meaning of perseverance but not generosity? Yuan Fu replied: I have no place to live in a narrow and humble place, just for my own selfishness. If I live high in the temple, I will be a traitor to the country. If I govern others, I will be full of selfish interests. If we can remain determined, the country will be in great danger."
"The child asked Yuanfu again: Is it a heavy responsibility to support one person with billions of dollars? Yuanfu replied: It is as heavy as Mount Tai."
"The boy asked Yuanfu again: The power of the Ming Dynasty is declining. Is there a long way to go? Yuanfu replied: The road is long and there is no way."
"My child understands this sentence: The billions of people in the world support me, and my responsibilities are as heavy as Mount Tai, so I should have the world in mind; the Ming Dynasty's border defenses are restless and the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the road is long and blocked, so I should hold on firmly."
"It is said: billions of trillions of offerings are made, the task is heavier than the mountain, and there is still one breath left. This ambition is unremitting. If you are not ambitious and perseverant, you will be discouraged by the weak and cowardly."
"Mr. Yuan Fu was silent for a long time, and then he said: Your Majesty sees the beginning to know the beauty, and sees the end to know the end. When I see the sun rising and shining brightly in the east, I dare not to leave behind. I still have one breath left. This ambition is unremitting!"
Zhu Yijun said quite accurately: "Kids, please keep this in mind. Practicing martial arts is not very tiring, and it is also a lot of fun."
"A child who doesn't want to be without beginning or end, who is not lofty and perseverant, is a coward."
Empress Dowager Li felt that it was a crime to feel sorry for her son's hard work in martial arts. By not letting him work too hard, she seemed to have turned the Ming Emperor into a coward. This gave rise to a sense of guilt for no reason.
"Your Majesty, if you are not tired, just study, study." Empress Dowager Li made up her mind and would not persuade her again in the future. This made herself look like a temptress who brought disaster to the country and the people, and delayed the Ming Emperor from becoming a great talent.
"What else did you learn today?" Empress Dowager Li continued to study her homework. Zhu Yijun explained today's homework again according to the narrative structure of classics, Zhang Juzheng's annotations, his own understanding and Zhang Juzheng's evaluation.
The more Zhu Yijun talked, the more strange he felt. Queen Mother Li only listened but rarely commented. Was she testing her schoolwork or studying?
The little emperor didn't delve into the difference. He just reviewed his homework and failed the provincial monthly exam, which made him laugh.
Empress Dowager Li was less than 30 years old. She had read books but only read Nu Jie. She was indeed learning how to distinguish right from wrong and how to distinguish between loyal and traitor. At least until the little emperor took charge, the Ming Dynasty could not become confused in her hands. Full of holes.
This is her responsibility as a mother and as a queen mother.
Queen Mother Li was extremely pleased to hear her children talking. When it was time for dinner, Queen Mother Li specially ordered Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the Qing Palace, to add two extra dishes.
Zhu Yijun picked up a dish and asked solemnly: "What is this?"
