Placed in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is the family banquet of Emperor Zhu, that is, a large family sets up a few tables in a hall on the second floor of the Xinuan Pavilion, and eats a meal in full swing.

Today is the third day of the third month of March, the Ming Dynasty is a festival, called the Shangsi Festival, in the Song Dynasty before the important festival of the "cleansing and bathing" activities. It is to go to the water's edge to bathe together to clear away the ominous. However, this custom gradually declined after the Song Dynasty - men and women gathered at the water's edge to bathe or something, and there were many desires when they looked at it, which was not natural at all, of course it was not allowed!

After Zhu Yuanzhang created the Ming Dynasty, the activities of the Shangsi Festival were changed to "spring outing". And Zhu Cixun has been busy with government affairs and military affairs in the past two years, and he has no intention of going on a day trip outside Nanjing, so he switched to the most simple way of celebrating the festival among the Chinese people - dinner!

The dinner party of the Emperor's House is not a round table, and a large family gathers around to eat, but eats separately. A circle of tables was set up, and it was not a small table for one person, but a seat of three or two. Zhu Cihong and Wu Sanmei have a table, Emperor Chongzhen and his Concubine Hu Ai have a table, and Empress Zhou and Empress Lao Zhang have a table. There are also children who either sit with their mothers or with their wet nurses. The children who are too young will not be served, and the food for the adults is not suitable for them.

Zhu Cixiong, the sixth son of the emperor, and his own mother Concubine Wei (the emperor's concubine), put up a table next to Emperor Chongzhen. The six-year-old little fat man has always loved food, and after the banquet, he kept eating with his head covered, and he was not a picky eater, and none of the food served was missed...... When the little fat man was happy, the bad news broke his heart.

"Father, it's time to enlighten the sixth brother, right?" Zhu Cihong also loves food, but he doesn't dare to eat more - he wants to get a three-high or something this year, and he doesn't even have medicine, so he can only wait for death! So when I was seven or eight points full, I put down my chopsticks and talked to Emperor Chongzhen.

The content of the conversation was the education of the little fat man Zhu Cixiong...... I'm going to study, and I can't eat, drink and have fun happily anymore!

"Enlightenment?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled, "Just find an inner servant to teach first...... Brother Xiaochun is an ordinary prince, and he will just enjoy wealth in the future. ”

Zhu Ciwei is actually the prince, but Chongzhen thinks that he was still an emperor when he was born, so he should be allowed to enjoy the treatment of a prince. But he didn't think that this little fat man could have any big deal - he already had Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cizhao, so he didn't expect Zhu Cijiong, and the gangster life was over.

"Yes, the sixth brother is just a rich idler." Wu Sanmei is not helping Chongzhen speak, but helping Zhu Ciwei speak.

In her opinion, the little fat man has already reached the top of financial freedom in his lifetime - retirement freedom! You can retire after birth, so what are you working on? Just recognize a few words and eat and drink.

"What do you mean by a rich idler?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Xiaofu, are you willing to be a waste prince who eats, drinks and has nothing to do all day long?" ”

The little fat man, who was stuffing a piece of roasted crispy duck skin into his mouth, heard the eldest brother's question, and suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly looked at his sister-in-law Wu Sanmei - the fat man just looked honest, but he was actually quite clever, and knew that his sister-in-law hurt himself.

Wu Sanmei nodded lightly, they are all "Little Fortune Kings", what should you be if you don't waste it?

The little fat man said happily: "Yes, my brother is willing!" ”

Pretty clever! Zhu Cihong said: I didn't see it! You little fat man hides it...... At the age of six, I already knew how to pretend to be stupid, and when I grew up, I could pay it back?

Be sure to educate well!

"Father," Zhu Cihong said to Chongzhen with a smile, "Look at it...... If you are so young, you don't know how to be motivated, and you can't educate well! What can you do when you grow up? ”

Do? Emperor Chongzhen said in his heart: God Lord! You have to give one to the county king, right? A palace, 5,000 acres of land, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are rewarded, and you have to rely on it?

"Even if you are crowned the king of the county, you can't just eat and not do it!" Zhu Cihong said, "Now the state affairs are difficult, and the imperial court has limited financial resources, so there is no spare energy to support so many princes and princes. Therefore, the prince and the prince of the county only have the land, and there is no fixed income. If you can't get out of business, you will be poor in the future. ”

Hearing Zhu Cihong say that "financial resources are limited", Chongzhen snorted a few times in his heart: It is clear that he is slamming the door, why are he crying...... Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, you are the richest, but you don't even want to send the prince's money, and you don't like it!

Zhu Cihong said again: "Fortunately, the law of feudal prohibition has been abolished, the princes and grandsons can all become officials, the third brother and the fourth brother have become Fangzhen Jiedu, and the fifth brother and sixth brother also have to be well educated, maybe they can also become the pillars of the country." ”

The fifth son of the emperor, Zhu Cihuan, the king of Chongqing County, was also in the dining room of Xinuan Pavilion, he squinted in the corner, a small table for one person, and a few pots of leftover dishes eaten by Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou were placed on it - Zhu Cihuan was suspected of "rebellion", and there was no imperial sister-in-law who spoiled him as a son, and he also knew something, knew that something was wrong, and was suspicious all day long, afraid of food poisoning.

So when I went to Zhu Cihong's place to go to the banquet, I didn't dare to let go of eating and drinking, and I was pitiful when I looked at it. So Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang rewarded Zhu Cihuan with their leftovers.

Now I heard Emperor Zhu say that he would educate himself well and be a pillar in the future, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and arched his hand: "What the imperial brother said is that the younger brother must study hard and be admitted to the Jinshi exam in the future." ”

Still admitted to the Jinshi? Zhu Cihong said: I will be admitted to university in the future! If you can't pass the exam, you can only go home and be a waste prince!

"Good! Be ambitious! Zhu Cihong raised his thumb, "This is my good county king of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

He said to Chongzhen again: "Father, why don't we take the opportunity to get together today to discuss the study of the prince, the prince, the prince, the princess and the county lord!" ”

"How come there are princesses and princesses?" Wu Sanmei was stunned.

"Not only princesses and county lords, but also princesses, marquis, uncles, sons, men, and the children of officials above the fourth rank who live in Beijing, must be enrolled in school!" Zhu Cihong said, "This matter is related to the long-term peace and stability of my Ming Dynasty, and we must not be negligent and perfunctory." ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his son's expression as he spoke, and he was a little puzzled: "Emperor, the matter of reading and learning characters is the business of each family, so let's not take care of it, right?" ”

"Father's errand!" Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again, "The reason why our dynasty has the difficulty of Jiashen (now refers to abandoning Beijing and moving the capital to the south) is because Emperor Taizu neglected the study of the princes and nobles' children back then!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said in his heart: I didn't teach you well...... I don't know the rules at all, and I criticize Emperor Taizu Gao at every turn!

Zhu Cihong continued: "A year's plan is like a tree valley; A ten-year plan is like a tree; The country's plan is like a tree...... This dynasty started from the grass, Taizu started from the end of the micro, with the genius of the world and swept the eight wildernesses, built the Ming Dynasty. But the prince, the grandson of the emperor, the son of the noble, born in peace and happiness, and there is no heaven, if you don't teach strictly, how can you become a talent? The foundation opened by Taizu was inherited by the generation of young talents, how can it continue the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Chongzhen said in his heart: Your words of the rebel son have damaged the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty...... Twenty-five filial sons! It's simply the first rebel in the past!

Zhu Daxiaozi sighed: "Fortunately, God bless the Ming Dynasty, there is a talent like me who is comparable to Emperor Taizu Gao to come out and turn the tide!" But my strength alone is limited after all, and it is impossible to live forever. If you don't take advantage of the present to cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty, how will the dynasty continue in the future? To whom will the world be handed over? ”

Emperor Chongzhen had a cold face, "Emperor, how do you plan to raise talents for Daming?" ”

"School Running!" Zhu Cihong said, "You can follow the example of the sages and run schools to educate talents, and running schools and educating talents should start from the baby, so we will open a primary school first, and then open a middle school and a university...... The children of the nobles must be enrolled, and when the school is grown, the children of the common people will be enrolled. ”
