eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 82 The fierce prince (please subscribe!)

"Why not?" Zhu Houzhao followed up and asked.

Wu Kuan will be very careful when speaking now, so the pressure in his heart is also great.

Especially today is the first day of giving lectures in the East Palace, and the occasion is even more unusual.

"The ancients said that no matter how big a country is, warlike ones will perish! Your Highness is the first time to study in the cabinet. He should focus on the learning of sages, be merciful to the world, be kind and love the people. If you talk about war lightly, the people will suffer from the war, and the country will also decline and perish. Therefore, I dare not accept His Highness's order!"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes and asked the ministers on both sides of the line, "What about you? Do you also think that my palace should not learn the art of war? Shouldn't I learn the battle array?"

"Report to Your Highness!" Cheng Minzheng, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped out and replied, "I also agree with what Master Wu said. Your Highness is still young, and it is time for you to start studying formally. Besides, since ancient times, everyone has been on a horse. The world, get off the horse and rule the world, my Ming Dynasty has experienced seven emperors, and it has been passed down for a hundred years, what Your Highness should learn is how to rule the world!"

"Besides, I have something to say to His Highness,"

Zhu Houzhao had already expected this person's behavior in his heart, so he didn't panic, and said, "Say it."

"I think that His Highness is very talented and intelligent, which is really rare. However, the books of ancient sages and sages, the avenues are in it. Your Highness is a beginner, even if you understand a sentence, you can't understand the whole text, even if you learn it, you can't understand it. Interrogate the ministers and block the mouths of the ministers with tricky words."

Having said that, many people are already a little shocked.In the end, I still want Cheng Minzheng.

"...If the courtiers offend His Highness, it is a kindness to dismiss and demote them, but Your Highness, you can't calm down and understand the teachings of saints. This is the real bad thing!"

A child prodigy is worthy of a prodigy.

Zhu Houzhao glanced over, and many of the old men below nodded secretly, as if they were speaking their hearts.

Looking at Cheng Minzheng again, he straightened his waist and arched his hands, looking like a loyal minister who is not afraid of death!
This army is indeed well-rounded, so it was directly placed here by the prince.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Mr. Cheng,"

"Wei Chen is here."

"Have we met before?"

"No." Cheng Minzheng answered honestly.

"The teacher teaches the students, can't the students ask questions?"

After continuous questioning, Cheng Minzheng's momentum became weaker, "Of course you can ask questions."

Zhu Houzhao continued to smile, "Then Mr. Wu's remonstrance just now, did I continue to ask the opinions of the gentlemen, or did I not agree to him?"

Uh... Wu Kuan made a speech, but the prince did not veto it.

Cheng Minzheng's complexion had begun to turn wrong, but regarding what just happened, he could only answer truthfully.

"Your Highness, I am continuing to ask the opinions of the adults."

"Crack!" Zhu Houzhao slapped the table heavily, "Then I'm still asking for advice, why did you just open your mouth and say that I was questioning the minister?!"

The crown prince is angry,
All the officials and eunuchs in Wenhua Palace knelt down.

"Your Highness, calm down."

Cheng Minzheng held his breath in his chest!
Zhu Houzhao deliberately made him lose face, just to provoke him!
This statement implies two pitfalls.

First of all, right now, I just ask a question in Wenhua Palace, and I am still asking for advice with an open mind, let alone doing something on my own will.Where is this questioning?

Since it is not, it means that you have considered the battles between the prince and the ministers in the past, because those who said that the prince questioned the ministers,

But those things happened in the deep palace, and you, Cheng Minzheng, were not there, how did you know?Did someone tell you behind your back?

Say!If you have the ability, just say it!Who took out the match between himself and the emperor and told others!
This is a taboo, how can you talk nonsense about what the emperor said to you in the palace?If the monarch does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body, and if secret affairs are not kept secret, he will suffer.Everyone in the hall understands this truth, let alone Cheng Minzheng?
Second, since you said it behind your back, and expressed your dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince in Wenhua Palace today, can it be considered that you are talking about the Crown Prince behind your back?
This is not acceptable, face-to-face remonstrance and behind-the-scenes discussion are by no means the same nature.It would be shameless to speak ill of ordinary people behind their backs, let alone discussing the prince secretly together?
If this is the emperor, the crime is to slander me!

And as long as you admit it, you have to explain who told you!This is the same party!Can't run away!
This was why Cheng Minzheng was holding back his pain, he couldn't say it, and Wu Kuan was hurt if he said it.

At critical moments, it depends on a person's quick wit. Too many people have this experience. It is a question that can be answered very well if you are not nervous and give time to think, but it is very difficult to answer it immediately if you are under pressure. There are tests.

Cheng Minzheng was also considered smart, he thought of the loophole in the crown prince's words, which was the edict issued because of Wang Yue.

So he said: "My minister read the imperial edict issued by His Majesty to employ people for the country, and learned something about it."

What this means is that the Shangyu recorded the conversation between the monarch and his ministers that day.

Zhu Houzhao immediately turned against him, and asked sternly: "Then you said that I am only an eight-year-old child, is this also written in the Shangyu?!"

Cheng Minzheng's heart thumped, and he was completely shocked!
The people in the palace were like Ming Jing in their hearts. They must know that Cheng Minzheng had discussed it with someone behind his back. Otherwise, how could he say such advice today when he just entered the capital?

It's just that Cheng Minzheng is also smart and didn't jump into the big hole the prince dug.

However, things turned around here again, that is, the words "eight-year-old child" said by the prince. At this time, the implication of what the ministers heard was: Cheng Minzheng not only said bad things about the prince behind his back, but the prince knew it.

This is hopeless, no help at all.

Cheng Minzheng has lost his mind, he is an extremely proud person, and now in front of so many people, he has given the crown prince a severe criticism.It also has something to do with such immoral things as 'talking people behind their backs'.

So, the pressure has skyrocketed.

However, after he thought for a long time, Liu Jin quit,
"Master Cheng, this is the Wenhua Palace, and the person in front of you is His Highness the Crown Prince. You have disrespected His Highness in your previous words, and now His Highness is not going to reply immediately when you ask me?"

Yes, that's disrespectful.

There is no way to escape this section.

So Cheng Minzheng could only kneel down, "I lost my composure, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Whoops, my mouth is not stiff anymore.

Zhu Houzhao said murderously: "Forgive the sin, of course forgive the sin, how dare you not forgive the sin?! Today is the first day of the palace to give lectures. On such a grand occasion, you asked a few more questions and you, Mr. Cheng, dubbed it The notoriety of 'examining ministers'. If you are punished now, won't you really offend Mr. Cheng? How much notoriety will there be in the future!"

Cheng Minzheng suddenly thought of Wu Kuan's reminder, Wu Kuan's hesitation...

This prince of the East Palace is really too fierce!

"His Majesty's heartbreaking words are to make my minister die forever!"

"I don't want you to die. I only hope that you will treat others more generously. You have only been in Beijing for a few days? So I gave me two comments: 'I am only an eight-year-old child' and 'Interrogate the minister'. The dignified Confucian speech Why be so mean?"

Wu Kuan sighed in his heart, His Highness probably knew that Cheng Minzheng's intentions were not good, and he was already sealing his mouth.

With what happened to the Wenhua Palace today, how will Cheng Minzheng argue with the crown prince in the future?No matter how you say it, as long as you say one sentence, people will naturally say that you are narrow-minded,

You see, the crown prince said you were mean, but you are really mean!

And Cheng Minzheng's heart was already cracked, he was not kind to others, and he spoke harshly... How... how could this be applied to him? !He just didn't think about whether he was too much when he accused others of the moral high ground.
