Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 577 They Are All Thousand-Year-Old Monsters

When the prince left Qianqing Palace, it was already dark, but he saw a figure like a door panel, standing under the eaves, was it the sixth child or who?

"Hey, why haven't you gone back yet?" the prince asked strangely.

"Isn't this waiting for elder brother?" Lao Liu said with a sneer: "Just now, I refuted elder brother in front of my father. The more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable. Elder brother is so kind to me..."

"Hey, what do you think of big brother? Is my heart as big as a needle nose?" The prince waved his hand generously and said with a smile:
"Brother thinks highly of you to let you display your talents, not to let you be my answer."

"Tell the imperial concubine to eat at my place tonight." As he spoke, he put his arms around Lao Liu's shoulder and said, "I haven't chatted with you alone for a long time, boy, I just want to have something."

"I've already told my mother and concubine." Lao Liu chuckled and said, "If eldest brother doesn't tell me, I'm going to have a meal."

"Hahahaha." The prince laughed heartily, took the sixth child and went back to the Palace of Harmony.

~~
Chunhe Palace.

Zhu Xiongying was overjoyed at the arrival of the sixth child, and stayed by his side during dinner.Until Mrs. Lu dispatched and called him to do evening classes.

"Scared, Xiongying has classes tonight?" Lao Liu looked at Xiongying's lonely back and felt strange in his heart.

"Yes." The crown prince nodded, with his left hand holding his sleeves, and his right hand holding a jug, he poured wine for Zhu Zhen: "Concubine Lu said evening classes are very important. It all depends on reviewing the past to learn the new."

"That Xiongying doesn't even have time to play." Zhu Zhen said reluctantly: "It's too hard every day."

"It's not hard work." The prince took a sip from his wine glass, looked at the west study where Xiongying was studying, and sighed: "Whoever made him the eldest grandson of the emperor is doomed to have no easy life."

"Brother, forgive me, if you continue to teach like this, there will be problems." Zhu Zhen was originally here to strengthen his relationship with his elder brother, but he didn't expect Zeng Tai to possess him again.

"Hahaha, sixth son, you don't have much say in the matter of studying." The prince said with a smile: "Those children from a scholarly family are taught in this way. After being enlightened at the age of six, they have been studying hard every day. I have classes in the morning and evening. I don’t see any problems.”

"This is the way to teach scholars, but people in our family can't teach like this!" The sixth child sighed secretly after speaking, "Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, you have changed, you have become too inflated.Why do you have to be different from your elder brother? '

But sometimes this person just can't control his mouth, he still plausibly said: "My teacher also meant the same thing, so he never taught me the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs, and taught me heresy in the eyes of scholars."

"What's his reason?" The prince asked softly, holding the wine cup.

"He said that the things taught by Confucian scholars are the domestication of the Tian family. A true king must first have a free and unruly heart." Zhu Zhen bit the bullet and said in a deep voice: "So Confucian scholars can never teach a good emperor. , a good emperor always grows barbarously in a place far away from Confucian scholars."

"Your words are too absolute," the prince put down his wine glass, and said in a deep voice, "For example, Song Renzong, who was established as a prince at the age of nine and received strict teachings from great Confucians since childhood, can you say that he is not a good emperor?"

"Song Renzong is a good man, a good master of those civil officials and Confucian officials, but he is really not a good emperor." Zhu Zhen said lightly:

"Because the emperor's good or bad cannot be evaluated by the standards of ordinary people. His weakness, hesitation, and soft ears are nothing to ordinary people, but to the emperor, they are fatal."

"Even so, Renzong is still a tolerant and benevolent lord of success." The prince retorted.

"Success?" Zhu Yanzhen laughed and said, "Is there any success in the Song Dynasty to defend? He didn't even have the guts to challenge the most important mission of the emperor of the Song Dynasty - to recapture the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun! Song Mingjun, it’s too cheap.”

"You, you..." The prince laughed and said, "Just because I didn't agree immediately, let Xiongying worship you as a teacher, will you overthrow all the emperors of a dynasty?"

"One code equals another. At least the emperors of the Song Dynasty should not be included in any discussion of the Mingjun and the Holy Lord. Other dynasties were all about expanding their territories. Some conquered the Western Regions, and some even reached Central Asia. They connected the world. They have not unified, and the Yanyun Barrier has not been taken back, so what qualifications do they have to be compared with other dynasties?" Zhu Zhen muttered.

His point of view is not unconventional, but it is generally held by Ming people.PTSD belongs to yes.

"Okay, I told you not to." The prince said with a fond smile: "But to be honest, the reason why eldest brother can't make up his mind whether to let you teach Xiongying is because of your attitude towards scholars and civil servants. You are a prince, so it doesn't matter if you think so. But he will be the emperor in the future, if he also has such thoughts, I'm still worried."

"There is a saying that 'you can only seize the world immediately, but not rule the world immediately'." He thought for a while, and decided to be honest with Lao Liu: "Rule the world after all, it depends on scholars to govern. If Xiongying despises scholars, we I don't know if this is a blessing or a disaster for Daming..."

"Brother, what I dislike are not scholars, but those who use sage books as dogma to brainwash us!" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but said anxiously.

"You still read fewer books. Those for the general public have the effect you said, but that's called 'education', not brainwashing. There are also books specially for us. Many of the principles of governing the country are It's in the book. If you understand it thoroughly, no one can fool you." The prince smiled and pointed at Lao Liu and said:
"For example, you boy, dare to be impatient with me, because you have no selfishness with me, so you can speak freely. If I don't study, I will think why you don't have my heart? I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Is loyal advice harsh to your ears?" Lao Liu asked with a sneer.What the eldest brother said was exactly what he was most worried about - he was really sincere, hoping to share his worries and let Xiongying grow up healthily, without any selfishness... well, only a little selfishness, that is, he must not give Zhu Yunwen a chance.

But if the eldest brother feels that he is in the way and has a relationship with him, then he will be too sad.

~~
"You should not only know this idiom, you should also know its source. It comes from "Han Feizi Wai Chu Shuo Zuo Shang", "loyal words are blown to the ear, and the master listens to them, knowing that they can make merit." Prince Tan Regaining the initiative while laughing, he said, "A monarch who is familiar with "Han Feizi" will not be controlled by Confucian scholars."

"Confucian scholars are just tools in the hands of the monarch, but they are more dignified and useful than other tools, so the monarch loves to use them." Zhu Biao was also pressed by the sixth child, and had to show his black belly, so as not to let this kid I really think of myself as a little white rabbit.
