"The problem of the Ming Dynasty is now a very serious problem, I have already decided when I was in Xi'an, starting from my son, the hereditary system will be abolished, and the title will be reduced by each generation, I believe there should be rumors on the Jingshi side."

Hearing the emperor say this, Empress Zhou immediately put aside other thoughts and listened attentively.

"If the clan system is not innovated, this alone will be able to bring down the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we have made up our minds, and it is imperative to reform the suzerainty system. But my son, I have to make proper arrangements. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou and said, "I don't want the kind of people who eat and wait for death, I hope that they can all leave a name in history, and it will be in vain that they were born in the royal family!" ”

Hearing this, Queen Zhou's eyes lit up, leaving a name in history?

"I decided to let them learn all kinds of knowledge from an early age, choose the one they like, and then master it, and I believe that with my help, they will definitely be able to make a name for themselves! As for the crown prince, he also wants to learn, but it is not the previous emperor's mental technique, I call it management, the knowledge of managing the Ming Empire. ”

Although Empress Zhou has other children, the most concerned is of course the crown prince. Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, he was naturally happy. The emperor is wise and teaches in person, and if the prince can be as wise as his father, it is naturally the best.

But who knows, Emperor Chongzhen's words changed, but he said to her: "But the prince grew up in the palace and didn't know the people's suffering, which has been shown many times, and I am very dissatisfied." Tang Taizong said that the people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat. If he didn't know this, I wouldn't be worried that Jiangshan Sheji would pass it on to him in the future. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" In this regard, Queen Zhou, who also grew up with hardships from a small family, immediately nodded in agreement, but she also changed her words and defended her son, "But the prince is still young and not sensible, Your Majesty will teach him, and he will naturally understand." ”

"Well, so I decided to let him experience life in the palace first, doing some things that the palace maids and maids usually do, as well as the palace guards. Then, I also planned to let him go out of the palace to see the people's sufferings and understand the real situation of the people. It's just that in the palace for a lifetime, it is impossible to really understand the Ming Empire, and it is impossible to be a good emperor. ”

Although Emperor Chongzhen had already foreshadowed him, he still surprised Empress Zhou when he said it at this time, and she couldn't help but immediately hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is noble, so ......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen snorted heavily, obviously very dissatisfied and immediately said, "As a superior, if you always remember your noble status and draw a clear line with others, you have turned yourself into a loner, how can you manage the Ming Empire?" Noble is not noble, not so shallow. If I go to sweep the floor, won't I be honorable? If I go into battle to fight, it won't be honorable? To manage an empire well, you must first win the admiration of your courtiers and people, rather than relying on status alone? Let's just say that this time, whether it's you or the prince, as long as someone is more aware of the people's feelings, how can they not know what those two usually do? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's statement had never been seen before, and Empress Zhou was a little shocked when she heard it. But fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mention this at the beginning, so she was not so sudden, after digesting it for a while, she came back to her senses, and when she was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Of course, I just gave an example, how to get close to the people, there are various means, how to understand the people's feelings, and there are also various means. But no matter what, when the prince is still young, he should let go of his body, experience it for himself, and see the real world with his own eyes. If you remember Tang Taizong's words, you can be a good emperor. ”

Queen Zhou's head was a little confused, and these new ideas were a little unacceptable for a while. But the emperor is sage, what he says will definitely not be wrong. Also, the prince is his own son, can he still harm the prince?

Thinking like this, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Everything is arranged by His Majesty, I believe that the prince will benefit a lot!" ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Chongzhen wanted her attitude, so he nodded and said, "Soon I will issue an order, and Zhang Zilong of the Agricultural Division and Song Yingxing of the Kaiwu Division will teach them, and the other princes and princesses will also listen." After a while, I will test them myself. ”

It can be said that Zhang Zilong and Song Yingxing actually represent Xinxue, that is, science and technology in later generations. First do a popular explanation, and then there will be experiments to do, I believe that these princes and princesses will definitely be interested.

With interest, coupled with the royal resources, it is not difficult for them to do something proficient in something. What's more, there is also Emperor Chongzhen's insight from later generations, as long as they are slightly removed, they are enough to leave a name in history in a certain industry.

This arrangement, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, is not much better than the kind of vassal king who eats and waits for death.

Emperor Chongzhen explained it to Empress Zhou, and he had to tell the other concubines when he turned back. But let Queen Zhou say it first, let those concubines digest and digest it, and then say it, it will be better.

Two days later, Emperor Chongzhen got the palace in the palace and officially issued a decree to transfer Zhang Zilong to explain the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" to the princes and princes, and Song Yingxing to explain "Heavenly Creation" to the princes.

As soon as this will was issued, it immediately attracted discussion from the government and the opposition.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen set up a new yamen for the two of them, and it was already possible to know how much the emperor attached importance to the agricultural affairs involved in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and how much he attached importance to the encyclopedia of agriculture and industry involved in "Tiangong Kaiwu". However, they didn't expect that the emperor would let his son, especially the crown prince, also learn this, so doesn't that mean that the next generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty will also be very familiar with these and attach importance to them? Looking at this posture, is it going to be inherited as a thousand-year-old plan?

Knowing this situation, there were originally people who resisted these miscellaneous studies in their hearts, and those who didn't pay much attention to them had to pay attention to them. Therefore, rumors came out at the same time, and the emperor and the crown prince were so concerned about these that the imperial examination in the future may change!

This saying has a nose and eyes.

After all, the emperor's attention now is obvious to all, not only requires the chief officials everywhere to be familiar with the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", but even the crown prince and prince have learned it, do you dare to guarantee that the emperor will not go further?

Most of the readers are actually repulsive about what may happen in the future, and in their opinion, the Four Books and the Five Classics are orthodox.

However, now after all, it is just a rumor, and even if they want to oppose it, they can't oppose it, so they can only emphasize the importance of the Four Books and the Five Classics in their ordinary conversations.

For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen grasped it very clearly and expected it.

That rumor, in fact, was also released by him, that is, to get through the wind first, let them get used to it, and when the conditions are familiar, of course, it is necessary to reform the imperial examination. Otherwise, the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to mention the height of orthodox academics.

After finishing this, the time has reached the end of October of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and it will be November soon.

At this time, the Jianyu army led by Duoduo and Hauge finally arrived at Guanning after a long journey.

Seeing that he was about to reach Tower Hill in front of him, Hauge couldn't help but say to Duoduo: "I heard that the last time you attacked Tower Hill, many people died, and they even killed them, is there such a thing?" ”

The last time they entered the customs, in the first battle of Tianjin, the Manchu army suffered heavy casualties, and even lost half of the looted population and materials. Huang Taiji deliberately dealt with this kind of thing in a low-key manner, but for the high-level people in the Manchu Dynasty, he couldn't hide it no matter what. As a result, Hauge was ridiculed by some people, including Dord, who he didn't deal with much.

Therefore, when he saw Tower Hill in sight, Hauge seized the opportunity and wanted to take revenge.

Duoduo acted with Huang Taiji, and of course participated in the siege of Tashan. At this time, listening to Hauge use this to mock himself, he actually wanted to say that it was your father who instigated him, and he didn't dare to attack with all his might, otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago.

However, at this time, Huang Taiji is no longer something that Duoduo can satirize, otherwise, if Huang Taiji deals with him, he will definitely be unbearable.

Therefore, when Duoduo felt a little aggrieved, he shouted coldly: "Last time, the Ming army in Tashan was already disabled. This time, I will definitely take this tower mountain. As for you, I don't know what it can be? The road is grinding, and there is no food to grab for a long time! ”

After saying that, he didn't want to listen to Hauge's rebuttal, so he grabbed the war horse between his legs and jumped out with a "whoosh".

Hauge opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he was so angry that he shouted behind him, "Aren't you unable to beat him?" Lao Tzu called you to show you, this tower mountain is mine! ”

Originally, he wanted to laugh at Duoduo and then say that he would beat it down to show him, but he didn't expect Duoduo to take the first step and not give him a chance to speak, he ran away, and suddenly, Hauge was so angry in his heart!

Before, these Manchu Tartars had learned that Jin Guofeng, the defender of Tashan, had been promoted to an official and had also replenished his troops, but they were all new soldiers, or the kind of old and weak soldiers.

In this regard, it is all expected by them. After fighting for so many years, these Manchu Tartars also have a very clear understanding of the situation in Guanning. knows that the elite of the Guan Ning Army is the ancestral army. As for the rest, it's just a ragtag army. It is also for this reason that Huang Taiji attaches great importance to Zu Dashou and does everything possible to win over the ancestral forces.

In the previous time, the few descendants under Jin Guofeng, the Tashan guard, had already fought almost hard. Moreover, Tashan is not as high as Jinzhou, there are not so high city walls, and there are not so many Hongyi cannons, so in the eyes of these Manchu Tartars, this time, at least they can easily defeat Tashan.

The Duoduo in front of him actually knew that Hauge also wanted to steal the credit, so he ran fast and was ready to strike first.

But after running for a while, the horse turned around, and when he saw Duoduo, he hurriedly announced: "The Tashan guard is not Jin Guofeng, the banner is Zu, it should be the people of Zu Dashou's department." ”

When Duoduo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, how could Zu Dashou come to guard Tower Mountain? It doesn't make sense!

Just as he could figure it out, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, rolled his eyes, and immediately waved his hand to let the horse probe again, and then he stopped and turned to look, and sure enough, he saw Haug catching up.

So, he immediately shouted coldly: "Just now you said that Tashan is yours, then let me ask you, what if you can't beat it?" ”

"It can't be!" Haoge was taken aback, didn't pay attention to the matter of exploring the horse, and immediately pretended to be confident and said, "Even in the pass, the Ming army does not dare to fight me, if it is not for me in the rear army, how can the Ming army win the battle of Tianjin!" Just Tashan, if I really want to fight, it's not a problem at all! ”

Hearing this, Duoduo couldn't help but ask, "What about Jiajiazhuang?" ”

When Hauge heard this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he immediately retorted: "Then blame me? Why don't you ask Dolgon? If it hadn't been for the death order, Lao Tzu would have laid down Jiajiazhuang a long time ago! ”

However, he also understood that Jiajiazhuang had not fought for so long, and he had nothing to do with his face, so he took the initiative to divert the topic and said: "Don't talk nonsense, don't fight with me this time, see how I take Tashan!" ”

"Okay, if you can't take Tashan, you will have to obey the rules in the future and call me uncle!" Duoduo immediately sneered.

Although he is younger than Hauge, he is the son of a wild boar skin, and it stands to reason that he should be called uncle, but Hauge is willing to call him uncle, in front of him, when there is no one else, Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu do not say less.

When Hauge heard this, he immediately asked, "Then what if I take Tower Hill?" ”

"What are you talking about?" As if he were also a bachelor, he replied without hesitation.

When Hauge heard this, he pointed at Duoduo arrogantly and said, "I see that the woman you just snatched looks good, and she will send it to my house by herself!" ”

After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and drove his horse away.

Duoduo looked at his back, his eyes showed hatred, he sneered, and shouted in a low voice, "Fool! ”

Don't look at him surrendering to Huang Taiji, but in his heart, he always remembered that the first Khan intended to let him take over the throne. It's Haoge's stupid father, Huang Taiji forced his mother to death, not to mention, but also robbed him of his position and suppressed him all the time. This hatred is buried in the bottom of my heart.

Besides, Hauge excitedly led his subordinates to Tower Hill and was dumbfounded. He knows how powerful the ancestral army is. If Tashan was guarded by Zu Dashou himself, it would not be something he could fight casually.

At the beginning of the battle of the Daling River, Huang Taiji gathered the troops of the whole country, took advantage of the fact that the Daling River was not repaired, and used the siege method, which took several months to force the city to cut off the grain and grass before winning the battle. But this tower mountain, with his current strength, how can he be defeated!

At this time, Hauge remembered the change in Duoduo's attitude, and immediately knew that he had fallen for Duoduo, and he couldn't help but hate itchy.

The Tashan guard is indeed Zu Dashou. He had just finished changing his guard, and he originally thought that he would be able to return to Jinzhou after staying for half a year, but he didn't expect that this Jianyu would not stop, and he would really come again so soon.

So, he immediately convened a military council to discuss the military situation.
