eldest son of Ming dynasty

Playing on Chapter 3?

"The way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde and closeness to the people. From the emperor to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. Those who are originally chaotic but not governed are not good. Those who are thick are thin, and those who are thin Thickness, there is no such thing...the house is rich, the body is virtuous, the heart is wide and the body is fat, so a gentleman must be sincere. "Poetry" says: Zhanbi... What is behind Zhanbi? I can't remember clearly. "

Zhu Houzhao opened the book again, and he looked serious at the moment.

In fact, since he was a child, he was not a person who hated reading very much.There seems to be a calmness in his body.No matter how much homework is assigned by the teachers of each subject, he will go home at night and finish it in a leisurely manner.

Later people said that he was a child of someone else's family, with good grades and sensible.In fact, his own thoughts are more pure, and he just thinks that these things should be done by himself.

Now that he is learning these ancient prose, there is also the wisdom of the ancients. If he wants to communicate with scholars here, to communicate in writing, and to understand the prose and sentences, he always needs to read some.

It was Yang Tinghe who was surprised. He didn't expect that he just led the reading a few times, and the prince mumbled a lot of sentences at once. Even if he stopped at 'Zhan Bi Qi Ao', it was actually very difficult.

Zhu Houzhao ignored his emotions and was completely immersed in it.He has always known that his memory is very good, of course it can't be called a photographic memory, but in terms of it, it is a bit like Ouyang Ke memorizing the "Nine Yin Manual", remembering more than Guo Jing.

As a result, the atmosphere in Xiefang Hall suddenly became full of the sound of books that had never been seen before.

shortly thereafter,

Liu Jin came over with a small step and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu from the cabinet has sent someone over. It seems that... he has something to do with Yang Zhongyun."

"Oh, let's go." Zhu Hou looked at the book without looking up.

Yang Tinghe was a little embarrassed, he seemed to have two bosses, and he was an unlucky ghost who couldn't agree with each other.

"Your Highness...this..."

"It's okay, since the cabinet is calling and state affairs are important, Mr. Yang can go."

Yang Tinghe wiped his sweat,
What's going on today, he, a little official with sesame mung beans, has become the favorite of both sides.

"Chen, thank you, Your Highness. That minister, I will take my leave now."

"En." Zhu Houzhao called out when people slowly exited the hall, "Mr. Yang,"

"Your Highness." Yang Tinghe turned around again, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince with his head bowed and his tone low.

"Today, you taught well, I think reading seems to be interesting."

"This is my honor and my duty."

Afterwards the Crown Prince stopped talking.

Yang Tinghe thought it was nothing at first, but at a certain moment, it seemed to be his intuition. He suddenly felt that His Highness's last words had hidden meanings.

In the hall, Liu Jin still couldn't let go of the day His Highness got close to Yang Tinghe today.

Take the opportunity to talk nonsense.

"My servant feels that the cabinet and Yang Tinghe are a bit ignorant of etiquette. It seems that the affairs of the cabinet are important, and the affairs of His Highness are not important?"

Zhu Houzhao looked up at him unexpectedly.

The old eunuch lowered his head in fright, "This servant made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

This old guy is also somewhat narrow-minded, but foreign ministers and internal servants cannot get together, otherwise there will be no room for imperial power to expand.

If Liu Jin and these civil servants wear trousers on one leg, it will be his death date.

Thinking about this section, Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed again,

He laughed like this, and Liu Jinxin also let out a long sigh of relief, and then laughed awkwardly, "Your Highness... this servant is always with you no matter what. If you are stupid and say something wrong, you can scold me." Two sentences."

"I will scold you when I should scold you. I'm not angry now, what are you scolding you for?"

Liu Jin understood this as soon as the words came out, what is the time to scold?Doesn't that mean that now is the time not to scold?
In this way, even if he behaved a little bit badly towards those outside, it wouldn't be a big problem.

However, Zhu Houzhao still began to think about Liu Jin's problem.
Historically, this man has had a very poor reputation...

"Your Highness, are you tired after studying for so long?" Liu Jin wanted to quickly skip this section, so she moved her mind and suggested, "I found a magic weapon for Your Highness, only the sons and grandsons of dragons can pull it out." !"

In order to make the children happy, he collected these good things a lot.

"No need."

……

……

In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe stood upright, and in front of him were Xu Shoufu and three cabinet ministers, Liu, Li, and Xie.

The first assistant Xu Pu was born in Yixing in the third year of Xuande, and in the fifth year of Hongzhi, the former first assistant Liu Ji was dismissed from office, and he began to take over this position.

In terms of style, Xu Pu takes stability and tranquility as his tenet, and discusses everything with Liu, Li, and Xie together. Generally speaking, he is a clean and honest minister. He is already 70 this year and suffers from eye diseases.

In the 11th year of Hongzhi, he begged and returned to his hometown, and died the following year.

But in the tenth year of Hongzhi, the old man was still in power. Although he simply sat on a chair with his waist in his mouth, like a useless little old man, no one dared to underestimate him.

"Yang Tinghe, do you know that it's taboo to pay a private visit by staying alone?"

On the issue of education in the East Palace, there is indeed a rule: Xu Sizhilang and Qing Jilang will jointly correct those who are left alone for performances or private visits.

Even after the official course is over, staying privately to meet the prince will be severely impeached.

However, this is a rule that will only exist after the official lectures.

It's a bit far-fetched for Xu Pu to use it here, but he used it like this because the official rank crushed people to death.Yang Tinghe had no choice.

This made him feel a little bitter.

At this moment, I had no choice but to argue: "The matter happened suddenly, since His Highness asked the question, and what he asked was the teaching of a sage, how can I be afraid of my own crime and not answer?"

Xu Pu grimaced and snorted, "It does have some integrity."

Yang Tinghe's heart trembled slightly, taking the risk to curry favor with the prince, but these upright adults couldn't see it.

Before he could explain himself, Liu Ge asked, "What did the crown prince ask today?"

So Yang Tinghe reported everything that happened in the East Palace today.

The prince was excited and angry in the East Palace, and even got angry. This was an unprecedented performance in the past, and the elders in the pavilion were a little confused.

"According to your words, the crown prince is intelligent, sensible, and extremely filial. Having such a great fortune, God blesses me. However, in the past, His Highness did not summon you and others, why did he suddenly tell you about the lecture in the Eastern Palace today?" Xu Pu looked at him and said.

This question made Yang Tinghe feel tense, what does it mean?
"Old Xu Ge, just now, I only taught His Highness to read half of the "Great Learning". His Highness did not explain the rest." Yang Tinghe insisted on this point.

Xu Shoufu couldn't tell whether he believed it or not, but he said in a low voice, "Prince... in the name of filial piety, in the name of loyalty and refusal to study, to do this compromise at the age of seven, this is not to win people." Secretly teach?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Tinghe's face turned pale with shock, he suddenly understood in his heart that it's no wonder why Ge Lao's words sounded so strange today!
This is absolutely unacceptable.For a small minister to win the prince's favor in this way in private, isn't that just trying to be a lucky minister?
"My lord Xu, all the elders in the pavilion have learned from you, this person is definitely not a low-ranking official!"

He flatly denied it, and everyone fell silent for a while.

After a while, Liu Jian, who was still relatively upright, couldn't help it.

"Reading the books of sages can only be read or not. How can there be any reason to compromise?! The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the Ministry of Rites must prepare lectures, otherwise, what is the decent?"

Xu Pu also didn't want to believe it, but this matter was done so delicately, Yang Tinghe insisted on denying it, "Could it be that he was really enlightened when he was young?"

Liu Jian also seemed to be inclined to believe Yang Tinghe, "Since the prince has such a special talent, he should leave the cabinet to give lectures as soon as possible. My senior minister begged His Majesty to change the time. How can this be against the decree?"

Mr. Xu Ge has his own set of principles in doing things, and he will not change his course just because of a seven-year-old child. Besides, Donggong's departure from the pavilion is a major event, so he has not yet come to a conclusion, but is just thinking, "No hurry, I will think about it...you will also continue to think about it." think about..."

Li Dongyang is good at planning, he stroked his beard and suddenly his eyes flashed, "Perhaps we should try to listen to the prince's words in reverse?"

Everyone chewed on the prince's words: If the weather is not warm, they will not leave the pavilion to give lectures!

Thinking about it the other way around, is it warmer that day?

Suddenly it dawned on me!
The prince wanted to tell the officials that what the emperor approved was an imperial decree and they must be obeyed.So it is useless even if the minister submits the memorial again, even he himself will not agree.

On the other hand, this is to appease them: as soon as the weather is warm, they will read books!

And as long as he wanted to read it, how could there be any reason to shirk and block it again given His Majesty's love for him?
Then the East Palace will leave the pavilion to give lectures, it must be the warm spring of next year, so there is no need to worry about delaying the time!

This is the point!

The emperor agrees with everything you say, but he likes to procrastinate, making people wonder how long he will wait.

Now the time is certain, nothing more than waiting for a few more months, as long as the real thing can be implemented in a few months, it is not unacceptable.

After all, he is still the emperor, so he has to make trouble with the emperor just for a few months?
After listening for a long time, Yang Tinghe realized that he was involved in such a big matter.
This is being cheated miserably!

I finally understood why the prince said so much to him.

After careful consideration, there is a clear understanding,
"Elder Ge, His Highness finally told the lower officials that reading seems to be very interesting."

This is just as important.

"According to what you said, "University" is just a thorough reading without understanding its meaning. What is the meaning of this?" Li Dongyang has actually guessed it, "Your Highness probably feared that we would not understand his true intentions, so he added it. This sentence expresses his desire to go out of the pavilion to study in the warmer spring."

Xu Pu's heart trembled slightly, and he threw aside a memorial in his hand, "Then there is really no need for this notebook."
