The young emperor was married to Nongsang, and he still had doubts. The queen mothers of the two palaces were all smiling and virtuous. They gained something by practicing the right way. When they had doubts about doing things, they were really doing things and thinking. This is virtuous.
Queen Mother Chen asked with a smile: "Tell me about it."
Zhu Yijun pointed to the thick pile of books on the desk and said: "My son asked Zhang Hong to go to the ancient and modern collection library to get many agricultural books, such as "Silkworm Classic", "Miscellaneous Five Elements Book", and "Essential Art of Qi Min" , "Must Use by Scholars and Farmers", etc., these agricultural books are all written in classical Chinese, and there are no sentences to read, no punctuation, and no annotations, and they are not common Chinese characters."
"Obscure."
The agricultural book Zhu Yijun read didn't even have a single punctuation mark, and there were at least one sentence to read (broken sentences) in the memorial. This agricultural book didn't even have a single sentence to read, so it was really hard to read.
Zhu Yijun continued: "Furthermore, there are differences in cold and hot temperatures between the north and the south, but the records in this agricultural book are not detailed and cannot be adapted to local conditions."
"If this agricultural book is written for farmers, the farmers will not be able to understand it; if it is written for scholar-bureaucrats, the scholar-bureaucrats will have few annotations and almost no one will read it. Then who is this agricultural book written for? And who is it for? ?”
Queen Mother Li and Queen Mother Chen were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. The question of the little emperor was from a very tricky angle.
Farm books are not for farmers, because farmers are illiterate, and scholar-bureaucrats are obsessed with the Four Books and Five Classics. Most of these reference books are read through, or even not read. This is a heresy, and no one is obsessed with it. ?
Some people even regard agriculture as heresy.
Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "Mr. Yuan Fu taught me: Farming is the foundation of the world. It is what the people rely on for their livelihood. A rich country must rely on this industry."
"But so many agricultural books are gathering dust on the bookshelves, with no one reading them, and no one annotating them. It's hard to even find an annotated copy. How can we consolidate our roots and enrich our country?"
"The high talk is harmful to the country. Are these literate writings and agricultural books that even the farmers can't understand, are they out of touch with reality? How can local officials who don't even read agricultural books persuade farmers? How can they represent the emperor? Antu herdsmen? Is this an empty talk?"
Empress Dowager Li thought over and over again and said: "Since the emperor wants to read it, then my mother will find someone to give the emperor some annotations."
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Queen Mother Chen also stood up. They had no answer to the little emperor's sharp question, and they didn't know how to answer it. Two adults couldn't answer the question of a ten-year-old child. , we can no longer talk about this.
The child was still young and asked the adults for advice, but the adults could only hesitate and talk to him.
How can you reprimand your children confidently?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t train!
Zhu Yijun sent away the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and sat in front of the bookcase, still flipping through the agricultural books. It was difficult to understand, but it was not because he could not understand them. In these agricultural books, a sentence that might be casually mentioned could bring countless lives to the people.
Since there is no one to annotate and no scholar to read, then he will annotate, he will read, he will correct mistakes, he will practice and test the theory. The hard work is indeed hard, but Zhu Yijun always remembers one thing, who runs for all people, who is the king of all people .
He looked at it for a long time before he put down the pen and paper in his hand with satisfaction.
"Go to bed early and get up early and grow taller." Zhu Yijun stretched out and signaled to Zhang Hong to turn off the lights.
Zhang Hong was also studying. Before leaving, he asked His Majesty for instructions and took away a volume of agricultural books. When the Emperor asked, he could not understand anything.
The next day, the Wenhua Hall was still noisy. The little emperor was writing and drawing in front of the imperial desk on the platform of the Wenhua Hall, and carefully studied the Four Books and Five Classics. The exams on the 19th of every month gave him the confidence to act recklessly. , only after he passes the exam can he continue to do his job.
"Zhang Juzheng!" Ge Shouli was extremely angry!
What did the little emperor of Ming Dynasty do after practicing martial arts yesterday?
Went to Jingshan to hoe the earth!
Zhang Juzheng looked at Ge Shouli, narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Ge, this is the Wenhua Hall. No matter how you call me in private, since we are sitting in the Wenhua Hall, please call me Yuan Fu."
When working, you should call your job title.
Ge Shouli said angrily: "First you expelled all the great scholars and monopolized the lecture banquet. Your power and authority almost shocked the Lord! Such control of authority almost shook the Lord! Now you dare to monopolize the lecture banquet? What else will you dare to do in the future? Are you going to monopolize that authority?"
When Ge Shouli said this, Zhang Juzheng, who had a somewhat gloomy face, actually had a smile on his face. Then the smile immediately melted away, and Zhang Juzheng said with a smile on his face: "Huh?"
"Talking about His Majesty's study."
"The ministers, lecturers, scribes, and ministers exchanged their knowledge. Your Majesty's reading progress is very fast. To be honest, the Four Books and Five Classics that I annotated cannot keep up with His Majesty's reading speed. Recently, I have been lighting up the lamp to make my annotations, lest I disappoint the late emperor. The Queen Mother is very kind to you, and Your Majesty hopes for it."
Zhang Ju is smiling, and it's not a superficial smile, nor is it sarcastic, but a very genuine smile, a smile that comes from the heart.
Ge Shouli was criticizing the first assistant, but the first assistant didn't seem to care much, and instead praised the emperor's reading.
Zhang Juzheng finished talking about the emperor's studies before continuing: "Ah, yes, Ge Zongxian talked about my monopoly on the Sutra banquet. This is the key point."
"What Mr. Ge said is that he doesn't look down on the great academicians too much?"
"On the 19th of every month, there are exams. Mr. Ge thinks it's because the bachelors are sitting in the corpse position and refusing to take a good test of His Majesty's studies? Or is he erasing the merits of the bachelors?"
Wang Xilie looked at Ge Shouli, his eyes a little confused. Zhang Juzheng was indeed in charge of teaching, but the person in charge of the exam was the former Grand Master of Yanyan. What did Ge Shouli say?
Are the academicians no longer willing to do their best in the emperor's education, or have they failed to achieve even an inch of success?
"Ge Zongxian, don't hurt kind people." Wang Xilie looked at Ge Shouli with a bad tone and knocked on the table. When Jin Dang and Zhang Juzheng were fighting, it was better not to hurt innocent people.
It's not that Zhang Juzheng is not good at dealing with officials, it's just that the previous affairs were complicated and messy, especially the little emperor's homework, which made him a little confused. He couldn't take out the ruler and slap his palms.
That's the emperor.
After the assassination of the king and the driving case, His Majesty really realized that being an emperor was not that simple, and finally he was willing to take it seriously and study hard. This was great news for Zhang Juzheng.
It doesn’t matter whether the Jin party is powerful, whether the northern barbarians are marching south, whether the six evils of Jiefuan are in full swing, whether the emperor is married to Nongsang, or even challenging Meng Shengren’s long-standing judgment, these are not big things. In Zhang Juzheng’s mind, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty The young emperor can grow up to be a useful person.
Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of courtiers, officials or officials. After he came to power, his biggest worry was that the young emperor would not become a talented person. Moreover, the effect of the lectures in the first six months was extremely poor, which made him worried.
It was not until recently that the knot in his heart was completely relieved, but there were still two small dark clouds. One was that the little emperor was not doing his job properly, practicing martial arts and studying agriculture. The second dark cloud is that the little emperor is studying very well.
Zhang Juzheng was extremely pleased that the young emperor was studying. The Ming Dynasty's state system required a British leader to lead the Ming Dynasty to revive. Whether it was martial arts or farming, as long as there was no delay in learning the principles of governing the world, Zhang Juzheng would not interfere excessively.
So reading is so good, it’s just a small dark cloud.
Reading may not necessarily lead to good governance of the country, but failure to study will definitely lead to poor governance of the country.
Ge Shouli took a deep breath and then said sharply: "Your Majesty went to Jingshan yesterday. Not to climb mountains, admire flowers, have banquets, or shoot arrows, but to hoe the ground! Your Majesty is rich in gold and is married to farmers and mulberry trees, Zhang Yuanfu! You are the emperor's master, Yuan Fu, such power shakes the Lord, and disaster will come soon, and death will not be long before death and humiliation will follow!"
Ge Shouli's words were very heart-wrenching. What he said was: Zhang Juzheng forced the monarch to do these hard things, and soon after his death, humiliation and killing would follow.
When Zhu Yijun heard that Ge Shouli was criticizing Zhang Juzheng for Jingshan's farming, he suddenly said, "What I want to do is not stopped by Mr. Yuan Fu."
As soon as the little emperor spoke, everyone looked at Zhu Yijun on the stage. The Ming Emperor spoke for the first time about court matters.
Almost all the courtiers believed that Zhang Juzheng's purpose was to exercise imperial power and increase his own authority so that he could implement administrative decrees. However, judging from the little emperor's words, this does not seem to be the case.
Zhu Yijun looked at everyone's doubtful eyes, showed a bright smile and said: "I am young and rely on all the ministers to assist the country. This idle time is also idle. Seeing that the hunter is happy, Luo Gongchen offered auspiciousness. If it is for Indeed, it is also a meritorious deed that the people can have crops to save famine."
Ge Shouli became even more sad and angry. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes for a long time before he said: "This Jing man is really rampant and deceives the emperor. This is the disaster of the country's subjugation. The loyal ministers in the court are afraid of the power and curl up their tongues! We should help the country. Keep up the good work!"
"Today, I will try my best to advise you. With me here, I can withstand the difficulties!"
Jingren is Gao Gong's contemptuous name for Zhang Juzheng. No one dared to shout this name in front of Zhang Juzheng. Even Gao Gong had never called him this name in front of Zhang Juzheng. If Ge Shouli hadn't been so angry at separation, he would have I definitely won't call it that.
In Ge Shouli's view, the little emperor said this entirely out of fear of Zhang Juzheng!
What is this if not the authoritarian master? !
If the ministers usurp the authority of the divine weapon, this is not the destruction of the country and the enslavement of all the people, so what is it?
The monarchs of the Southern Song Dynasty could not protect the world, the country was destroyed, and the Han people were slaves and maids, and they had words written on their faces to survive, which was a disaster for all the people to become slaves.
Zhu Yijun understood Ge Shouli's words and asked with confusion: "Ge Zongxian, didn't I make it clear enough?"
"I wanted to do it, but Mr. Yuan Fu didn't stop me. The banquet at that time talked about Song Renzong's valuing of grains and pearls. The content of the speech was correct. The bachelor's student, the bachelor's lecturer, and the secretary of exhibition all heard it. Ge Zongxian also heard about it. .”
"Aren't you confusing right and wrong and reversing cause and effect?"
Ge Shouli opened his eyes and said with great sorrow: "Your Majesty, this is the danger of the Jing people. He asked Na Luo Gongchen to offer auspiciousness, and then brought out these two cases to make a banquet. This is what he is doing to deceive He. You deceive Your Majesty about your youth!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Ge Shouli with dark eyes. He was trying to decide whether Ge Shouli was sophistry or whether he really believed that Zhang Juzheng was monopolizing power.
When the facts are beneficial to you, tell the facts;
When the rules are beneficial to you, follow the rules.
This is a typical and common sophistry.
Whether facts or rules are more important has an extremely flexible scale for courtiers.
Just as the curfew only restrains the people, it is in vain for those with a little power. Even the palace ban of the Ming Dynasty Palace is just a layer of window paper in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. Even the eunuchs dare to trample on it and use the palace ban to make money. .
Zhu Yijun looked at Ge Shouli for a long time before he realized one thing. This guy was not sophistry, but really worried...
Feng Bao and Feng Dajun are the typical best actor among best actors, but Ge Shouli is not.
Zhu Yijun watched it for a long time and realized that Ge Shouli was not acting, he really thought so.
Yang Bo and Zhang Juzheng said that Ge Shouli was straightforward and a typical remonstrator. When the emperor opened the Baoqi Palace and "the emperor and the people farmed together", the first thing Ge Shouli thought was not that the little emperor had violated Meng Sheng's words, but that Thinking of Zhang Juzheng being domineering, deceiving the emperor with his eloquent tongue, and even cheating on the little emperor.
In Ge Shouli's view, or in the view of most courtiers, this is the truth.
The Jin Party and Zhang Juzheng finally began a head-on conflict over the issue of the emperor's education.
Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, said nothing. It would be best if Ge Shouli won, and it didn't matter if he lost. He always reminded Zhang Juzheng that if he was so reforming and refused to form a party for personal gain, there would be only one end in the end.
Zhu Yijun was thinking that all doubts and questions should have a starting point, and it took the little emperor two breaths to think clearly about this starting point.
"Mr. Ge..."
