eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 71
Liu Jian realized why Wu Kuan came to discuss with him specially, and tried his best to rectify the words and deeds of Donggong with the knowledge of a sage.
Look at the answers in these few sentences. It is obvious that I am not satisfied with the study plan they submitted, but after going around in a circle, I not only did not bear the name of "weary of learning", but also gave people a very obedient father-in-law image!

The most important thing is to really achieve this goal for him!

If it happened by chance, it was a coincidence.

But now how long has passed, and the year is over, no one will think it is a coincidence.

Liu Jian was shocked, but also made up his mind, the prince has this wisdom, if he does not do it right, then it's okay?

"Your Majesty! The content cannot be changed! If there is a mistake, the old minister is willing to bear the blame!" The old gentleman is also a person of great courage, and he knelt down before the emperor, and said these two sentences very resolutely.

In fact, to a certain extent, these ministers, including Wu Kuan, are certainly not treacherous ministers.

It's just that their ideas are not in line with Zhu Houzhao's, and because they have been educated in Neo-Confucianism since they were young, it is impossible to change them when they are in their 60s.

When the emperor and the prince are inconsistent with what they think is correct, there will naturally be an impulse to correct it.

However, Zhu Houzhao felt that this impulse was to make him 'obedient'.

Wu Kuan's psychology, words and deeds before and after are the most authentic interpretation.

But how could Zhu Houzhao be so obedient,

It's too sad for the father and son to be turned into marionettes.

Mr. Liu Ge said that by sacrificing his life for righteousness. Zhu Houzhao could see the faith emerging from that face, which made him suddenly think of a book called "The Evil of Honest Officials" in the late Qing Dynasty.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a true portrayal.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that a study plan would not be enough, and he said with relief: "Mr. Liu Ge doesn't need to be like this. I didn't say that you are guilty, and the prince didn't say that you are guilty. Quick, get up."

Elder Liu Ge continued to kneel, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to grant permission to what you have said to Mr. Wu. The crown prince is the foundation of the country and concerns the country and the people of the world. Your Highness is also a genius. As long as you carve it properly, you will be a great master in the future." Mr. Mingming!"

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself... why did he go back again, "Old Liu Ge,"

"The minister is here."

"You don't need to beg so fiercely," Zhu Houzhao comforted with a smile, "Imperial father agreed to let me leave the cabinet to study as soon as possible, and I am also willing to study. This is a matter of peace and harmony. Why do you act like you are going to die?"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "What the emperor said is true, what the emperor said is true. Mr. Liu Ge, get up quickly, there is nothing serious about doing the Qing Palace today. I will confuse you gone."

Liu Jian really admitted his death, so he didn't get up, and asked: "Then I don't know if Your Majesty, Your Highness...do you agree with the memorial that I and Master Wu have written?"

"Eh..." The emperor is cowardly. In fact, he has a clear idea in his heart. He just disagrees. Sometimes he can express it, but he rarely expresses it firmly. At this moment, "Old Liu Ge, I still feel that every day Lessons learned may be cut back a bit.”

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Jiang got up, he was about to kneel again... To say that he is straight, he is really straight,

"Old Liu Ge..." Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, and his mind moved again.

In fact, he didn't want to.

"I didn't hear it wrong. Elder Ge just said that if you make a mistake, you are willing to bear the blame."

These are the original words. Liu Jian considers himself a gentleman, so he accepted it firmly, "Your Highness's words are right, these are the old minister's words!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then asked after a pause: "Father said such things, Liu Ge's loyalty to the court is evident. But..."

Hearing the crown prince wanted to say 'but' again, Wu Kuan's ears were pricked up. He really felt that as long as the crown prince opened his mouth, it must be some kind of wonderful words.

Almost fell in love with each other.

"...However, I don't know very well what Liu Ge said was wrong, what does it mean?"

Everyone was stunned, a loss is a loss, what else could it be?Could it be that the prince didn't read much and couldn't understand this word.

Emperor Hongzhi also looked at his son with some puzzlement.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the meaning of being wrong is...wrong, wrong?" Wu Kuan didn't dare to speak anymore, Liu Jian was explaining, but he didn't know if this was what the crown prince meant.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "It's not that I don't understand the meaning of the word if there is a loss. I want to ask Mr. Ge to explain. Under what circumstances is it called a loss?"

Asking this question, Wu Kuan felt that the pit seemed to be approaching...

In fact, these words also have exciting emotions, like saying to Liu Jian: You say you are willing to bear the responsibility, and you explain clearly under what circumstances you are willing, but don't renege on the debt afterwards.

Liu Jian is also a straight person, but at the same time he also has the arrogance of a literati, so he explained seriously, "It means that Your Highness reads in the cabinet according to the memorabilia of the officials. If there are any irregularities or mistakes, the officials are willing to accept the crime and be punished!"

"Oh... Elder Ge has been convicted and punished. Can I make up for the irregularities and omissions that happened to me?"

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed drastically when he heard this!
This is so crucial.

Yes!

What is the use of your confession?

Then the problem is my son!
Even if you are arrested and beheaded, the crown prince's problem is still the crown prince's problem!
Liu Jian's heart was shocked when he was asked. As for Wu Kuan... he probably got used to it soon. Could it be the power of Emperor Taizu's blood?
This is what I said before, asking whether you are responsible is the last step: Are you responsible?

Sometimes you don't just pat your chest and say that I will bear all the consequences. How can it be so easy, you just say this for a few catties?
"If...if that's the case, the humble minister will surely die. But the purpose of the humble minister is to see His Highness's intelligence. He wants His Highness to learn more every day, and there is no other intention."

This is meaningless.

First of all, learning more is not 'some', okay?What a double.

Secondly, Zhu Houzhao felt the taste of brainwashing him.Classics such as "University" and "Spring and Autumn" can be learned and memorized. What is the purpose of reading them every day?

Furthermore, Zhu Houzhao is smart, so aren't the heirs of Emperor Taizu smart?

Needless to say, at least you can't talk about Emperor Taizong Wen in this way, right?

Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to risk his son, so he was almost fooled into it. Why are you all responsible? His tone of voice was a bit tougher this time, "Old Liu Ge, don't talk anymore. Just implement Xu Pu's previous decision. He is still stable and decent, especially when he is out of the pavilion in the East Palace to give lectures, and he will not act lightly."

This is how Hongzhi gets along with the ministers. If Zhu Houzhao is fighting wits and courage with them, Hongzhi is emotionally attached to them. Once he says something that hurts people's hearts, it is actually a more intense expression.

Liu Jian naturally understood the meaning of the words. The emperor thought that he was not as good as Xu Pu in this matter, so he was a little sad, and at the same time he should know what to do.

"Sir, obey the order."

If you go on, it will really hurt your feelings.

Wu Kuan sighed. When he came, he felt that Donggong couldn't think of a way to object this time. Who would have thought that it would be settled with just a few words.

As for Zhu Houzhao, his expression was as usual, but he just took another look at Wu Kuan, and found that the old man's face was stiff with anger, and he suddenly felt a little funny, "Mr. Wu,"

"The old minister is here." Wu Kuan saluted the prince.

"Mr. Wu must prepare well on the day when Bengong leaves the pavilion to give lectures."

Wu Kuan twitched his beard. In his heart, the prince is not a gentle, courteous, thrifty and kind-hearted child, and he had several disputes with him. Now he suddenly said this,

What do you want to do...

He raised his eyes to look at the prince, and found that although the face was full of smiles, it must have malicious intentions.
