Wu Zheng lowered his head again and asked: "Qi'er said it well, then the godfather will ask you again, how can you make the hearts of the people in the world become like you said...... Or is it like your father? ”

Zhang Wanqi shook his head and said, "The child doesn't know. However, the child thinks that in addition to the law, the rules of this world can also be bound by courtesy, and if seven or eight out of ten people know that they can't do it, then the remaining two or three people can't do it. ”

Wu Zheng asked: "For thousands of years, haven't saints and virtuous people used rituals and morals to restrain and educate the world, but often when the dynasty changes, rituals and music collapse, which shows that rituals and morals cannot fundamentally restrain people's behavior." In prosperous times, it can be icing on the cake, but in troubled times, it can't be charcoal in the snow. ”

Zhang Wanqi disagreed: "The child thinks that etiquette and law coexist, as long as they persevere, they will definitely see miraculous results." The child learned a lot of truths and ...... in the Ming Society. ”

Wu Zheng asked in surprise, "You have entered the Ming Society?" ”

"yes." Zhang Wanqi lifted his coat and revealed a Ming Society badge, "Do you know that Godfather, in the Ming Society, Godfather's Han Ming theory has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every word of the society must first talk about loyalty to the country and the nation, and in the past, few people mentioned the words of loyalty to ......the king." ”

Wu Zhengchang sighed and said to Zhang Huang: "I thought that Xia Wanchun knew the Five Classics at the age of five, could write poetry at the age of seven, and was able to lead the army to resist the Qing Dynasty at the age of thirteen. Unexpectedly, today I found out that Qi'er was not slightly inferior to him. ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled proudly and pointed to his mouth.

Wu Zheng ignored him, reached out and touched Zhang Wanqi's head and said: "Qi'er must study hard, learn skills, and then be on the side of the court or the chief pastor, so as to contribute to the country." ”

Zhang Wanqi raised his head and said: "Godfather, the child wants to join the army and become a big hero and general like his godfather." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Huangyan.

Zhang Huangyan also shook his head silently.

Wu Zheng said: "Qi'er, why did you think of joining the army? You must know that it is not only to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to serve the country, with your knowledge, when you grow up, you will govern a county and a government, so that one party will be stable and the people's lives will be rich, which is also better to serve the country. ”

"Then why did the godfather join the army? My father is also a scholar, didn't he also destroy his family and raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty? ”

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "But isn't your father the same now?" Qi'er, my godfather told you, the scholar Jin Gui, you think, a person has to study for ten years, or even twenty years to become a talent, but what about soldiers, training for a year and a half can go to the battlefield, not that whose life is not valuable, but the cost of training is different, for the imperial court, the natural use is different, you should be able to calculate this account, right? Besides, by the time you reach the crown, the world will be too peaceful, the people need to recuperate, they need to live a good life, and the talents needed by the court will also turn from soldiers to literati. Therefore, this war will be left to someone like Godfather to do, you just study hard, you know? ”

Zhang Wanqi nodded as if he didn't understand.

Wu Zheng said: "Huh...... Godfather is hungry, go and see if your mother has cooked? ”

Watching Zhang Wanqi run out, Wu Zheng let out a long breath, this child's brain is really not easy to deal with.

"If Qi'er wants to join the army, let him go. The prince dotes on Qi'er too much, which is not good for him. Zhang Huangyan finally spoke.

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "In the past ten years, too many people have died, our clan has been greatly injured, in the next few years, there will be more people, take advantage of the current situation of the year and a half, leave some seeds for the future, after all, after the recovery, there will be too many civilian talents." ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled a little sarcastically: "Hasn't the prince always been prejudiced against literati, and he doesn't even approve of the imperial examination." ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Am I biased against literati?" If there is prejudice, Brother Xuan, Zhang Gong, Lord Xiong, etc., how can I rely on the humerus? I just don't trust some literati anymore, because in their hearts, they have long lost their shame and forgotten what they can and can't do! ”

Zhang Huangyan was silent for a moment and said, "The prince doesn't have to mind, I just said it casually." ”

Wu Zheng sighed lightly: "Qi'er is a talent, Brother Xuan has to polish it well, I am sure that his future achievements will not be inferior to yours." ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "Don't praise him anymore, if you praise him again, it will be bad." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "This son's understanding is indeed surprising, he said it very well, different positions, different understandings of the Fa, and the ass determines the position." ”

Zhang Huangyan sighed: "I didn't expect this kid to say such a thing...... Listening to him say this, there is really a kind of joy that clears the clouds and sees the sun. However, it is not as good as the prince said, it is reasonable, but it is not feasible. Now that our dynasty and the Qing court are ruling across the river, after four years, most of the people in Jiangbei are afraid that they have dispersed, right? ”

"Nope. That's too negative. Wu Zheng said, "Those who want to surrender have already fallen, and most of those who don't want to surrender are dormant, and resistance is constantly being staged, and the situation has not yet reached the point of incorrigibility." At least, I invaded Taizhou this time, and the people there were still looking forward to the northern expedition of the king's division. ”

Zhang Huangyan arched his hand and said: "Huangyan has lost his words, I hope the prince will forgive him." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "It is reasonable to complain, but if even we lose confidence, the great cause of the Northern Expedition will really be over." ”

Zhang Huang said: "But I really can't figure it out, is a vicious person really worthy of the prince to pardon him at the cost of his reputation?" ”

Wu Zheng suddenly burst out laughing, pointed at Zhang Huang and said, "Do I have a clear reputation?" Since Shaoxing Mansion, I'm afraid I haven't lost the notoriety of traitors and powerful ministers, Zhang Cangshui, you are honest...... Are you among the people who scold me? ”

Zhang Huangyan said solemnly: "Huangyan swears to the sky, if there is half a sentence to slander the prince......." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly interrupted: "Look, you don't know how to tease, you are not as good as your son?" ”

Zhang Huangyan was still to continue, and Wu Zheng had already diverted the topic and said: "Continuing the laws of the previous dynasty is a last resort. But we're already working on it as well, it's just clearly not fast enough. Brother Xuan, this matter, but your duty, don't let the people of Liufu wait too long? ”

Zhang Huangyan responded: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Wu Zheng said: "Fa is a thing, it's right to say it's sacred, but it's not wrong to say it's a piece of." Those in power cannot be said to be emperors and important ministers who hold power, and even a county official or the current ruler can replace the law with his own words. This kind of thing is not uncommon in all dynasties, and when this happens, it is often that the law is not familiar to the people, and the people do not even know the law, and all they pursue is to be a good person, but often the good people do not live long, and the bad people are left behind for thousands of years. ”
