Sleepless night.
Zhu Biao's mind was always filled with what Su Jing said about the emperor's mind.
As a prince, not only is he learning how to be an emperor, but the people around him are also trying to influence him to become a better emperor for them.
Just like Confucianism and the emperors of all dynasties.
Confucianism absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought into its own doctrine, and then evolved, laying the foundation for the rule of emperors.
Likewise, the status of Confucianism has remained high since the Han Dynasty.
This is because both sides complement each other.
Zhu Biao seemed to understand a lot of things for a while. Even Song Lian, whom he usually respected very much, seemed to be less pure at this time.
It's not that Song Lian is bad, but the status of Zhu Biao and Song Lian determines that the relationship between the two cannot be pure.
And Zhu Biao has only one most pure teacher now.
Su Jing!
Su Jing did not know Zhu Biao's identity and did not try to find out Zhu Biao's identity.
That's why I can teach Zhu Biao without any scruples.
Su Jing's status in Zhu Biao's heart became higher and higher.
At the same time, he also didn't want to see the day when he and Su Jing revealed their identities.
When the time comes, can such purity still be maintained?
Zhu Biao didn't know, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Su Jing for advice.
The sun was shining from the window sill, and Zhu Biao had gotten up early.
In the palace, he would not sleep in, and it was the same here.
But the difference is that instead of reading in the morning, I do some simple exercise first.
"Niu Yi, here you go, let's practice Wu Qin Xi today."
In the courtyard, Su Jing had already set up her posture.
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded and immediately joined Su Jing's practice.
Su Jing lay down, supported the ground with both hands, and said: "The tiger actor, with his limbs away from the ground, throws three times in front, but throws twice, raises his waist long, raises his feet to the sky, and then walks back to the distance, seven in front and seven in front. Passed."
Following Su Jing's instructions, Zhu Biao also lay down on his body.
"The deer performer has his limbs raised from the ground, his head is raised and his head is turned back, three to the left and two to the right. He extends his legs to the left and right, extending and contracting by three or two."
After eight moves, Su Jing changed her movements again and entered the deer scene.
In this way, I finished practicing all the following bear scenes, ape scenes and bird scenes.
"If you want to live a long life, you have to exercise more. If you are in good health, diseases will not come to you."
Su Jing stretched her body and felt quite relaxed.
The effect of Wu Qin Xi was even better than he imagined.
Zhu Biao also imitated Su Jing and stretched his body, and said in agreement: "Master Su, since I practiced the Five Animals with you, I feel that my body is indeed much better."
Su Jing smiled and said: "I will teach you a set of military boxing another day."
Military boxing?
Zhu Biao was stunned, it was another novelty that he had never heard of.
After briefly tidying up, the two went out to have breakfast.
the other side.
Forbidden City, inside Fengxian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the latest letter sent by Zhu Biao with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Chongba, what's wrong? Why are your brows wrinkled again?"
Empress Ma appeared next to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Did Mr. Su say something again?"
Now Empress Ma is used to Su Jing shocking Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "It's really not Su Jing this time, it's our Biao'er who gave me a question!"
When Queen Ma heard this, she looked curious and asked, "Let me see, what did Biao'er say?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately handed Zhu Biao's letter to Queen Ma.
Queen Ma looked at it carefully, and her expression became a little serious.
"Chongba, what Biao'er said is not a trivial matter."
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "This matter of tax exemption for officials and gentry, if you think about it carefully, it will be a big disaster in the future!"
Yes, what Zhu Biao mentioned to Zhu Yuanzhang this time was the tax exemption for officials and gentry in the Ming Dynasty.
He did not directly write down Su Jing's strategy of managing the gentry and collecting food from one person, but chose to raise this difficult problem to Zhu Yuanzhang first.
This is what Zhu Biao learned from Su Jing.
Don't rush to tell the answer directly, step-by-step guidance is the best way.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Biao'er aside, I haven't thought about it carefully. The Ming Dynasty will soon reopen the imperial examination. There will definitely be many more scholars with honors. By then, the number of officials will be increasing."
"The current Ming Dynasty has a small population and a lot of land, which is enough. But if it is decades or even a hundred years later, there will be more and more tax-free land."
"I think I still wanted to encourage scholars to strive for fame and become more officials, so this policy of tax exemption and corvee was established."
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was quite clear. Zhu Biao just mentioned it a little and he figured it out.
When he thinks about the future, Lao Zhu's head hurts a little.
Empress Ma thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not Mr. Su who made some suggestions about this matter. Just like the clan support issue, Mr. Su saw the future disaster at a glance."
To say that Empress Ma knew her son well, she left half of her words unanswered.
That's Zhu Biao, who doesn't have the ability to see this far.
Hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang also slapped his head and said: "Sister, don't say it. When you think about it, it really looks like Su Jing's style. This kid can indeed explore the secrets of heaven."
Ever since the incident involving Chang Yuchun, Duke of E, Su Jing had gained the ability to predict good and bad luck and see into the future in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
"Since Mr. Su brought it up, he should also have a solution."
Queen Ma said: "Mr. Su's solution to the issue of family support was quite good."
Although the matter of supporting the royal family members of Lao Zhu's family has not been completely decided at this time, Lao Zhu has already planned to follow Su Jing's idea as the basic policy.
"Then what does this mean? Are you going to test me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said angrily.
I was still struggling to figure out how to solve the problem, but now I saw that my son had the answer, and he was deliberately testing himself.
"This kid Su Jing really taught Biao'er badly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly threw the blame on Su Jing. His son could not be wrong anyway.
Seeing this, Empress Ma smiled and said: "Chongba, I want to plead grievance for Mr. Su. Mr. Su has never had any control over Biao'er's letter to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "So what, Su Jing is good at divination. How can he not know this?"
Even if you want to say that Lao Zhu is still defending his shortcomings, he still blames Su Jing.
Or maybe Lao Zhu was too petty, and Su Jing still remembers her hatred for running against him.
At this time, Queen Ma's expression changed and she said: "Chongba, you said that Mr. Su can do divination. Does that mean he already knows Biao'er's identity?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu's expression immediately changed.
This is really true!
