Chapter 18: The Iron-Faced Speaker

It's hard to be a good emperor.

It is not easy to be a little emperor who loves to learn.

Since Zhu Qizhen agreed to open the day.

He had to get up on the fifth watch every day. I want to go to the Wenhua Hall and study. After lunch, I went to Cining Palace to listen to the Empress Dowager explain the affairs of the DPRK and China, and also analyzed the actions of the cabinet to Zhu Qizhen.

I want Zhu Qizhen to know why Cabinet Sanyang did this.

After dinner, Zhu Qizhen still read some information, which Zhu Qizhen didn't understand, so he ordered Wang Zhen to investigate, such as Xue Huan and Shi Jing of the Xue family, the conduct of the two horses.

There are also some palaces that need to be reviewed.

If it's the third, sixth, or ninth day, he still has one more job, which is to listen to the government at the imperial gate.

However, because he was young, every morning, he only played eight things, and these eight things had already been voted on by the cabinet, and it was enough to go through the motions at this time.

Before, each yamen went back to the yamen to do their own work.

Zhu Qizhen returned to the Wenhua Hall and continued to attend classes.

The Wenhua Hall is in the east of the Taihemen Square, and the Wuying Hall is far away, which is the place where the prince listens to the government. However, now Zhu Qizhen does not have a prince.

After the Wenhua Palace, there is the Wenyuan Pavilion.

There is only a wall separating them. There are also convenient doors. In this way, the cabinet can also keep abreast of the emperor's learning.

After all, in their opinion, the issue of the emperor's education is a first-class national matter.

Speaking of which, the Wenhua Hall is also a library place.

After entering the Wenhua Gate, there is the main hall opposite, and the side halls on both sides are there, as well as the portrait of the Holy Master.

After Zhu Qizhen washed up, he had breakfast, and when he came here, the genius was bright, and the sun had not yet climbed out of the darkness.

However, Li Shimian has already arrived.

When he saw Li Shimian for the first time, Zhu Qizhen was a little disappointed.

I think it's hard to live up to the fame.

Because Li Shimian is a little old man, dressed in a red robe, with a cloud goose patch on his chest. His hair was gray, but his expression was serious, and he never seemed to smile on his face.

Speak, always in a loud voice, with some accents of southern official dialect.

After Li Shimian saw Zhu Qizhen, he saluted first, and then took Zhu Qizhen to meet the portrait of the Holy Master, and then sat down in the main hall of Wenhua Palace.

To be precise, Zhu Qizhen sat in the right position, and Li Shimian stood at the bottom.

Zhu Qizhen looked left and right, but saw rows of bookshelves, all of which were yellow embroidered books. Zhu Qizhen didn't take a closer look at what kind of books they were, but they all looked like big books.

Li Shimian asked Zhu Qizhen with a straight face, "Your Majesty, what did you read before?" ”

"Three-character scripture, 100 family names, 1,000-character text." Zhu Qizhen said.

Li Shimian said with a straight face: "Please write it silently for Your Majesty." ”

Wang Zhen immediately stepped forward to study the paper and ink for Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen twisted the brush, and wrote out the three-character scripture, the surname of the hundred families, and the thousand-character text one by one.

Li Shimian watched from the side. After a while, between the brows, the word mountain bulged.

Because he felt that Zhu Qizhen's words were a little ugly.

First of all, the former Zhu Qizhen was originally a playful child, but the brush is to be practiced with a lot of effort, since Emperor Xuanzong Xuande fell ill in the ninth year of Layue, died in the first month, I don't know how to do it, Zhu Qizhen has not touched the brush for a long time.

Although Zhu Qizhen has gained a lot of knowledge from later generations, he has not made any progress in the brush and calligraphy.

Li Shimian waited for Zhu Qizhen to finish writing, picked out a few more questions, and asked Zhu Qizhen, it was not difficult, they were all children's level, and Zhu Qizhen naturally answered them fluently.

Li Shimian said: "Your Majesty is very intelligent, and the old minister admires it, but this word still needs to be practiced. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What Mr. said is true. ”

As an emperor, he does not seek to be a calligrapher, but there must always be some inscriptions, and he also has to review the folds, and even many ministers see the emperor's imperial pen more than the emperor himself.

How calligraphy is, almost another face of people in this era, it must not be too bad.

"Your Majesty, please from today onwards, ten posts a day, there are two kings' posts in the palace, Your Majesty should first come to the posts of the two kings, and then learn the words of Shen Bachelor, Shen Bachelor's words, the emperors of the past generations are very appreciative."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Students understand. ”

Shen Bachelor is Shen Du, who entered Hanlin during the Yongle period, and appreciated calligraphy for Emperor Taizong, and is a contemporary first-class calligrapher. Zhu Qizhen said: "Does Master Shen still care? ”

Li Shimian said: "Master Shen has gone last year. However, Taizong called Master Shen, the king of our dynasty, and he especially loved his books, and there were many secrets in the palace. If Your Majesty wishes, when you check the Chinese books of the palace, you will definitely get something. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded.

Li Shimian said: "However, if Your Majesty's calligraphy fails, you must be punished." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly remembered the ring ruler given to Li Shimian by the Empress Dowager, and suddenly felt a little nervous. But then he calmed down and said secretly: "Isn't it just a palm?" And what is it? ”

Zhu Qizhen was ready to be beaten, only to hear Li Shimian's voice change, and said: "However, Your Majesty is still young, and it is the master's fault that there is such a mistake." ”

Li Shimian turned his eyes, stared at Wang Zhen, and said sharply: "Come on, this fang can't teach Your Majesty wholeheartedly, ten strokes of the staff." ”

Wang Zhen was taken aback, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Daban, I was also attentive at the beginning, but I was not attentive. But it's not Wang Daban's fault. ”

"Wang Zhen is on His Majesty's side, and it is his fault that he cannot make His Majesty innocent. He also mistook His Majesty's calligraphy, and it must be known that the minister was six years old when he learned calligraphy, and the cold and heat continued, and His Majesty's pen power was particularly weak, and the foundation was poor. Wang Zhen enlightened His Majesty, but this matter cannot be shirked. Li Shimian said righteously.

Zhu Qizhen was also suppressed for a while.

This is also a routine, there is always nothing wrong with ordinary people, once there is a mistake, it must be the fault of the people around you.

Shang Ying changed the law, the prince objected, and the disposal was to cut the nose of the prince's master.

The same is true today.

The two eunuchs walked in, held down Wang Zhen, and said, "Princess, I have offended, and the little ones can't help themselves." ”

I don't know where to pull out a long bench, press Wang Zhen on it, two people pressed, two people picked up a tall mahogany cane, and hit Wang Zhen's body 1510.

These eunuchs are still merciful.

Ten rods down. Wang Zhen's wailing was endless, but his voice was not weak at all.

Li Shimian listened, and asked the left and right to pull Wang Zhen aside to take medicine, and then officially gave Zhu Qizhen a class.

Li Shimian said: "From today on, the minister will explain the "Analects" for His Majesty, before His Majesty is in power, the minister will be the Empress Dowager, and should explain the "Four Books", "Five Classics", and "The Great Encyclopedia of Sexual Principles", so that Your Majesty can understand the meaning of the sage, and then explain the family law of this dynasty, Taizu's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", Taizong's "Shengxue Xinfa", the "Five Lun Shu" written by the first emperor, and then enter the "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", "Tongjian Festival", "Tongjian Outline" and "University Yanyi". What the Ming monarch did in ancient and modern times, the reason why the world is governed, and the reason why the world is chaotic. For the purpose of contemplating the Sacred Studies. ”

Zhu Qizhen counted carefully, four books and five classics, which are nine books. The rest of the "Encyclopedia of Sexual Principles", "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", "Shengxue Xinfa", "Wulun Book", "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", "Tongjian Festival", "Tongjian Outline", "University Yanyi", a total of eighteen books.

It can be divided into Confucianism and history.

Confucianism is based on righteousness, and history should understand the use of Confucianism. Plus calligraphy. I have been listening to the Empress Dowager explain the government every day. For a while, Zhu Qizhen only felt that his scalp was numb.

This emperor is not easy to be.

Li Shimian said: "The Analects is the most simple of the four books, recording the words of the sages. Your Majesty should enter the Holy Court with this. ”

Immediately, Li Shimian took out a copy of the Analects from the bookshelf on the side.

Spread it out in front of Zhu Qizhen, with a ruler more than a length of the ring, pointed to the first chapter of the Analects and read: "Zi said: "When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to Li Shimian reading, with a special charm, with a feeling of recitation. Listening to the familiar words, I suddenly had a sense of absurdity in my heart, as if I had returned to that classroom for many years.

It's just that he knows that he can't go back.

Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? Zhu Qizhen read word by word.
