Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 16

Zhu Houzhao's performance was perfect in the eyes of the ministers. In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't do anything, just stood there, listened, then nodded, then acted like he was thinking seriously, and then acted like he suddenly realized.The morning court lasted for more than an hour before it ended.After the court was over, Zhu Houzhao followed Zhu Youtang to correct the test book, mainly Zhu Youtang corrected it, and Zhu Houzhao studied beside him.

After completing the correction of the test book, Zhu Houzhao had lunch with Zhu Youtang, and then it was the afternoon morning, and he didn't stop all morning.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help thinking of the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Perhaps the only emperors who worked so hard in the Ming Dynasty were his father and the Taizu Emperor. The rest should be the last emperor Chongzhen.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youtang will discuss politics with a group of cabinet scholars and six ministers, and talk about some things about the government, most of which are the policy direction of the court.Have dinner at sunset, and then light up the lamps to review the test books. If there are few test books, you can go back to Kunning Palace earlier, and if you are later, you will definitely not go back, and the same is true the next day.

After a whole day, Zhu Houzhao was physically and mentally exhausted even though he was in good health. Accompanied by his tired-looking father, Zhu Houzhao really respected his father.Not to mention other things, just persisting in this way day after day and year after year is not something ordinary people can do.Every day is so tiring, and it is not something ordinary people can persist, especially if they are qualified not to do so.

Zhu Houzhao said with some emotion: "Father has worked hard these years."

Zhu Youtang was taken aback when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, and then laughed. It was the first time Zhu Youtang heard such words, and he felt very relieved in his heart, especially when his son said these words.

Not to mention being exhausted, but it seems to be a lot easier. Zhu Youtang said with a smile, "The Emperor Taizu started from a commoner and survived a near death. It is not easy to take down this country. We, the descendants of our descendants, are just keeping it. If we can't work hard If you do your best, how can you be worthy of Emperor Taizu and the people of the world? Your father is like this, and you will also be like this in the future."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while, and then said: "With such a wise emperor as my father and such virtuous ministers as your masters, the Ming Dynasty will surely have a vast territory, go as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties, prosper like brocade, and rule the Tang and Song Dynasties."

This sentence was used by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty to evaluate Daming. Zhu Houzhao used it at this time. Kangxi visited the south, sent officials six times to worship Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, and went to Yeling personally five times. In the 38th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi When going south to Jinling, after hearing and witnessing the grand occasion of Nanjing City, he sincerely admired the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Both kneel down three times and kowtow nine times during worship, which can be described as extravagant and extravagant. It is said that "the etiquette is prosperous, surpassing ordinary sacrifices, and it is an act of great virtue through the ages."

If there were no etiquette such as three worships and nine kowtows, it may be said that they were expressing the idea that "the great Ming Dynasty can be destroyed by our Qing Dynasty", but such a sacrificial etiquette obviously does not have such an idea.Perhaps it contains the purpose of winning the hearts of the Han landlord class and intellectuals, but the evaluation and generalization of Daming is also very appropriate.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang laughed immediately. Nothing makes a father feel happier and prouder than getting his son's praise.

"Zhilong, Tang and Song Dynasties, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Zhu Youtang said these eight characters, and said admiringly: "The emperor's book is well read and well spoken, and we, father and son, encourage each other."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled: "In the Han Dynasty, there was the rule of Wenjing and the prosperity of Hanwu. My son hopes to reproduce the prosperity of Ming Dynasty with his father, just like when he became the ancestor. The strategy of heroism is the same as that of Gaozu. Six divisions have appeared repeatedly, and Mobei The dust is clear. By the end of the Ji year, the mighty virtue has been won, the guests from all over the world have obeyed, and almost thirty countries have been ordered by the court to pay tribute. The territory is so wide that it is as far away as the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is successful and powerful, and it is extremely prosperous!"

The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the louder his voice became, and he almost recited it later. This passage is from "Chengzu Benji", which is extremely majestic.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang had mixed feelings, a sense of happiness, and a sense of expectation. This is my son, and he was extremely relieved.

"My son wants to become an emperor like Chengzu, with spears and halberds, to rule the world like Chengzu, and to rule the world like Chengzu.

Zhu Houzhao is expressing his will.

Singing songs to sing about one's ambition, expressing one's ambition is what a person with great ambition should do. Although Daming is not as popular as it used to be, everyone is still very optimistic about those who express their ambitions.This is especially true for the royal family. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Zhu Youtang smiled happily in his heart.Zhu Houzhao wanted to become an emperor like Chengzu, so Zhu Youtang was naturally happy.

"Okay, okay, then the emperor must practice literature and martial arts well!" Zhu Youtang said with a big smile, "I'll be a great emperor in the future."

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely do it!" Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said loudly, with a very serious expression on his face.

Seeing his father's happy look, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Father, my minister wants to build a martial arts arena in Xiyuan, and I will run horses and practice martial arts on weekdays. Not to mention other things, my minister wants to practice good riding skills and become a good horseman." He is in good shape." Zhu Houzhao waved his arm as he spoke, "My son can already use an eighty-pound mace."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang was taken aback. Zhu Youtang didn't care about Zhu Houzhao's request for Xiyuan at all.

Unlike other emperors, Zhu Youtang didn't like to have fun, and he seldom went to Xiyuan. Except for Qianqing Palace, the place he stayed most was Queen Zhang's Kunning Palace.

What really surprised Zhu Youtang was that Zhu Houzhao was able to use an eighty-pound mace. You must know that his son is only ten years old this year, so he can use such a heavy weapon at such a young age?How much power is contained in this body? Is it possible that the Zhu family is going to produce a legendary existence with force against the sky?Four words can't help appearing in Zhu Youtang's mind: strength can carry a tripod!

However, thinking that those with high force values ​​don't seem to have a good end, Zhu Youtang was a little worried: "The emperor can't brag!"

"Let the emperor take a look tomorrow!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile. He just said this sentence without any intention of being brave or angry. It was very peaceful.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, Zhu Youtang nodded, and then said: "Father, just wait and see!"

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up early, put on the short skirt he used for martial arts, put the mace on his shoulder, and walked towards Kunning Palace.These days, Zhu Houzhao's martial arts has grown very fast, with high physical fitness and strong comprehension. No matter what he learns quickly, and the effect is also very good. Now Zhu Houzhao is worried that he has nowhere to find someone to practice his hands. Those who accompany Zhu Houzhao to practice martial arts are basically They are all feeding him.
