Chapter 133: Chronicles of Kyushu

Prince Zhu Jianjun is naturally not a fool.

On the contrary, he grew up in the palace, went through the northwest, southeast, Huguang, and southwest, and presided over the government for more than ten days in Zhu Qizhen, although Zhu Jianjun is still a little immature. But even if Zhu Jianjun is allowed to ascend the throne now, it is estimated that a king who keeps the success can still do it.

He is naturally politically sensitive.

Zhu Qizhen recovered from a serious illness today. First of all, he was furious at the cabinet meeting and finalized the matter of the Western Expedition, and then immediately exerted himself on the matter of Shi Heng, if there was no connection between it, it would be a strange thing.

As for what the connection is, just think about it and it will be very clear.

The prince said: "The father said that the emperor laughed, the child is just a fool. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, then tell me, why can't Shi Heng use it?" ”

The prince said: "Shi Heng is a fierce tiger, although he can roar in the mountains and forests and deter all beasts, but if he is kept in captivity, he will be counterattacked." ”

"Its heart in the Mobei pattern is clearly revealed."

"In the opinion of the sons, it should be punished as a later failure, otherwise regardless of Shi Heng, I am afraid that there will be generals in the future, and it will not be a great chaos in the world. Start the way of martial arts chaos. ”

"Shi Heng's talent, although it is a pity, but the national system is a big matter, please think twice."

Zhu Qizhen said: "The state system is a big thing, not bad. Since you have elevated the matter of Shi Heng to the state system, then let's talk about it, what kind of state system do you think is suitable for the Ming Dynasty? ”

The prince was stunned for a moment.

He clearly understood what Zhu Qizhen said in this volume, but he couldn't understand it at all?

What kind of national system is suitable for the Ming Dynasty?

The Ming Dynasty has its own ancestral system. Needless to say?

But with the wisdom of the crown prince, he naturally would not answer like this. He thought about it countless times in his heart, and he determined one thing in his heart, that is, his father had the intention of changing the law.

This is not necessarily a secret at the top.

It's just that the officials below don't know.

The prince pondered for a while and said: "The monarch and the minister have what they want, the civil and military affairs get along, and the world can be safe." ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "This is a world of great contention, and it is not possible to be peaceful. ”

The crown prince was even more confused and said, "Father, what do you mean?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I remember that I handed you over the theory of the world's great Kyushu. ”

The prince said: "Erchen has learned, but this is not the general remarks of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly frowned and said, "Who said that?" ”

The prince said, "The main hall teaches. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately said to Huaien: "Remove all the geography teachers from the main hall." ”

Zhu Qizhen was furious.

Some of the subjects taught in the main hall are traditional Confucian textbooks, such as the subset of classics and history, these Zhu Qizhen did not move, and he could not move, if the prince did not learn Confucianism, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty could go crazy.

But Zhu Qizhen is not without private goods, such as adding mathematics classes, some Zhuzi Baijia subjects, and geography.

Some of the geography textbooks are made up of ancient books and maps. There is also a large book dedicated to this subject, "A Unification Chronicle". Of course, this big book was originally meant to be repaired, but it was just selected as a textbook by Zhu Qizhen.

There is also Zhu Qizhen specially asked Jinyiwei to collect people, gather all the information, as well as Zheng He's sea charts, and so on, plus Zhu Qizhen secretly added a little private goods, before it was finally written into a book, which became "Kyushu Chronicles".

It includes all known worlds, Eurasia, and Africa, as well as the attached oceans. Of course, a lot of things are very sketchy. First, the information that Jinyiwei got from some so-called fanshang was not too accurate. In addition, the coverage of Jinyiwei is not too large.

Of course, Nanyang Jinyiwei has tentatively approached the Portuguese. It's just not fruitful yet.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen's "Kyushu Chronicles", although there are such and such problems, but the implementation of these news cost at least tens of thousands of taels of Jinyiwei, as well as the lives of more than a dozen Jinyiwei, and even many Jinyiwei were ordered to set off, and they did not come back for more than ten years, and it is very likely that they died outside the territory.

The news obtained in this way was said to be "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Let Zhu Qizhen not be angry.

Immediately made Zhu Qizhen understand that even though he was diligent in government, he didn't have three heads and six arms, and he didn't even know some things around the prince, and he didn't know how many things in the world.

Because of this, he is even more interested in the professor prince.

After all, he may not succeed, but if his political successor continues to change the law, he may succeed one day.

Zhu Qizhen immediately downplayed the things behind "Kyushu Chronicles", and the prince immediately pleaded guilty and said: "The son doesn't know, please punish my father." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's not too late to know now, the world is big, Kyushu is wide, my Ming is just a corner of the world, isn't it safe." ”

The prince pondered for a while and said, "The country is not big, you must be virtuous." Although the world is big, there are many wild places, and it is not enough to defend it, and it is separated by mountains and seas, so I am afraid that I will lose if I have not gained enough. ”

This sentence, the prince said hard.

He even had the appearance that he didn't know his father.

Not to mention the big Kyushu, is it false. Even if it is true, but in the prince's heart, these places are wild places, with quicksand in the west and the sea in the south, not to mention the hot and humid land in the south, the tropical rainforest, the mosquitoes and insects, as for the birds, beasts, insects and snakes, all kinds of plagues, it is really not a place where people can stay.

He has experienced these things in Guangxi.

When the prince was in Guangxi, a northerner was also embarrassed by the weather in the south, if it weren't for the ability of the accompanying imperial doctor, who saved many people with the secret recipe of Artemisia annua, not to mention this war, even if it was the last war, there would have been many soldiers who died of malaria.

Of course, many of the soldiers who died in the southern expedition died of various diseases. However, most of them are included in the list of war deaths.

It's nothing more than a little higher pension.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, he had too many things to tell his son, and he was also the political successor he was aiming for. But I also know that I can't say it all.

Otherwise, the prince would definitely think that Zhu Qizhen was a madman.

Just a little bit of it. A little bit of pointing.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What you said is not right or wrong. Confucianism reveres Zhou rites, and you also know how big the territory of the beginning of Zhou is. Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked the eunuch to send a map.

Zhu Qizhen pinched the brush and said: "Although Confucianism says that there are three generations of governance, but there are bears, Hansheng, and other places, it is not possible to take it, even if there is, it is not credible to say more, but it is generally testable since Zhou." Starting from the Duke of Zhou, the great feudal princes are nothing more than these places. ”

Zhu Qizhen stroked his hand and circled a circle, that is, near the Guanzhong area and Luoyang, and then circled one circle after another.

When the prince saw it, he immediately understood.

Without him, for the Confucian scholars of this era, the history of the Zhou Dynasty is very familiar.

Zhu Qizhen and the crown prince have both received the education of orthodox scholars, and there is no need to elaborate at all, the prince understands in his heart, this circle is those vassal states, and here are those vassal states.

After the painting was completed, I stood in one part of Shaanxi, the whole territory of Henan, one part of Shandong, one part of Nanzhili, and one part of Shanxi.

How Zhu Qizhen said again: "As for the Warring States of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is the same again. ”

Zhu Qizhen called two more maps, scribbled and wrote on them, and in a moment, three maps were completed.

It corresponds to the situation map of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States period in history textbooks. Of course, the style is by no means similar.

Because ancient maps are too freehand.

Although Zhu Qizhen has been correcting and adding many mathematical parameters, the map of Daming has always been like this, which is nothing more than a little more accurate.

But that kind of freehand flavor can't be removed.

This is an extravagant method of learning that the prince has never seen before.

Without him, in ancient times, maps were the secret of the military state, and every map was very precious, because the first map was difficult to print, and most of them were hand-waved, even if they were printed, they were all small areas.

Moreover, the state also has restrictions, and it is impossible for many areas to reach the common people.

Therefore, the maps that have been everywhere in later generations can definitely be called a treasure in this era.

That is, among the royal family, there are so many maps to waste.

However, the prince didn't pay attention to these maps, he cared about the content on the maps and Zhu Qizhen's intentions.
