From beginning to end, the prince didn't notice the existence of such a person as Shen Xi.

Shen Xi and Jin Gui were about to lift their feet and leave, but when they saw the little twister coming in a hurry, they said in a panic: "No...... Oh no...... Your Majesty is coming this way. ”

When Shen Xi heard this, he immediately looked at Jin Gui and asked, "Didn't Jin Zhongyun say that His Majesty doesn't often come to the East Palace, even if the prince is examined, he will summon the prince to the Wenhua Palace?" Why did Your Majesty come here in such a hurry today? ”

Jin Gui also had a dark face and didn't reply, but he seemed to say, who will I ask if you ask me?

Liu Jin noticed that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly went over to grab the prince, snatched the wooden sword from the prince's hand and threw it behind the rockery, and heard someone shouting from afar: "See Your Majesty and the Queen." ”

"The slave and maid greet the bow, Feng'an ......"

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youji, accompanied by Empress Zhang and her entourage, walked over with slightly heavy steps.

Shen Xi looked at it from a distance, and Zhu Youji's complexion was okay.

In the distance, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to be angry with Liu Jin, but when he saw his father and mother coming, he didn't care about other things, so he ran up in a few steps and kowtowed respectfully: "The sons and daughters see the father and the queen mother." ”

Shen Xi and Jin Gui saw that this situation was wrong, so they hurriedly stepped forward with their booklet and knelt down with their entourage. Zhu Youzhu smiled and raised his hand: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Xi stood up with the people around him, but he could only keep his head down...... The location of him and Jin Gui was three or four zhang away from Zhu Youji, and Zhu Youzhu and his wife didn't notice the existence of the two for a while.

I heard Queen Zhang's voice coming: "Emperor, come here, let the queen mother see, is the illness better?" ”

Zhang Heling said: "The prince has God's blessing, he will be safe and blessed, and the queen is too worried." ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Shou Ninghou to also follow behind Zhu Youzhu and his wife.

But think about it, people are originally a family, breaking bones and connecting tendons, maybe Zhang Heling entered the palace to give gifts, and when it comes to the prince, let's come over and have a look.

This East Palace is also a part of the Imperial Palace, and the emperor regards the entire Forbidden City as his home, where he can do whatever he wants.

Empress Zhang smiled: "What Shou Ninghou said is really good...... Emperor, what are you doing? ”

The crown prince Zhu Houzhao is a half-grown child, and when he heard his mother's question, he replied bluntly: "I'm playing, sword slashing demons, see I slashed a lot of demons...... Well, whoever told you to get up, lie down! ”

The emperor and empress came in person, where did the little palace maids who were "beheaded" dare to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, at this time, they just stood up after saluting, and immediately knelt on the ground when they heard the words.

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Youzhu snorted, a little annoyed, "Look at what you learn on weekdays, shouldn't you be studying at this time?" ”

One sentence made the people present silent.

As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son!

Emperor Hongzhi was obsessed with Taoism, believing that those cultivators in the world had great magical powers, and festivals were often held in the palace.

Children, they all like to fight and kill, and the ability to slash demons with a sword is very magical in the eyes of children, and they will imitate it when they have time.

The crown prince played outside for an afternoon, and he didn't pick up a book at all, and was asked by the emperor about reading, not only Wang Hua might be punished for speaking on those days, but even Shen Xi and Jin Gui, who had false records, would be angered by the emperor.

Zhu Youzhi was still red just now, and at this time he was so angry that he coughed, and his body trembled, obviously Emperor Hongzhi was really angry this time.

Wang Hua was hunched over beside him, Nuo Nuo was speechless for a long time, and Empress Zhang hurriedly helped to excuse him when he saw this: "Your Majesty, it's not early in the day, the emperor is tired of studying, it's okay to come out and play, don't get angry." ”

Zhang Heling also hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the dragon body is important." Even the scholar of Dongkaku University said that the prince has made progress in his studies recently, and the prince must have studied well, so he came out to play. Wang Deyu, but so? ”

Wang Hua hurriedly saluted: "That's right." As he spoke, he was already wiping a cold sweat.

There are some things, I am afraid that the emperor will investigate deeply!

In fact, as long as the emperor casually pulls a little palace maid over and threatens him, he will immediately know that the prince has nothing to do for a day, playing in the morning, sleeping at noon, and continuing to play in the afternoon.

Zhu Youji's face turned dark, and he shouted: "Where is the living officer?" ”

"The minister is here."

Shen Xi and Jin Gui stepped forward with the prince's living book that they had recorded and saluted Zhu Youji.

When Zhu Youzhu saw Shen Xi, a smile appeared on his face, and even Zhang Heling looked over with a smile, pointed at Shen Xi to Queen Zhang, and then whispered.

Zhu Youzhu asked the little eunuch to take the booklet in Shen Xi and Jin Gui's hands, opened it and looked at it, his face was slightly satisfied, and Empress Zhang asked beside him: "Your Majesty, what did the emperor learn today?" ”

Wang Hua was very nervous, for fear that Zhongyun would record the truth, but saw Zhu Youzhi nodding: "What the emperor is learning today is "University Chapters". ”

Empress Zhang's face was full of joy: "The emperor is really capable...... Your Majesty, what's going on with this "University Chapters"? ”

When the queen needs the mother of the world, but for the matter of learning, literacy can be, and then the "Female Commandment", "Internal Training", "Female Analects", "Female Filial Piety" and other books on female virtue are familiar, even if they are qualified...... If a woman does not have much knowledge and knowledge, her mind will be simple, and she will not have the ambition to steal power.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Shen Xi, meaning to let Shen Xi answer, which was also an opportunity for Zhu Youzhu to give Shen Xi an opportunity to show his talents.

Shen Xi replied respectfully: "Back to the words of the empress mother, the "University Chapters and Sentences", "Zhongyong Chapters and Sentences", "Analects and Analects" and "Mencius Notes" are from the "Four Books and Notes", which are the works of Zhu Wengong, a Confucian master and a Song man. What the prince is memorizing today is the tenth chapter of the "University Chapters". ”

The Ming court respected the "Notes on the Four Books" because the author Zhu Xi had the same surname as the Ming emperor.

Shen Xi just said it according to the content recorded in the book, listening to Jin Gui's words, the prince can memorize this book, but Shen Xi is muttering in his heart.

What Jin Gui meant in his words was that the prince memorized this book at least the day before yesterday, an eight-year-old child, even if he could memorize the text for a while, but if he didn't review it, he would probably forget it the next day.

Now that two days have passed, if Emperor Hongzhi examines the prince Zhu Houzhao this content, can the prince really memorize it? Let's hope for it!

Zhu Youzhi was very satisfied with Shen Xi's reply, and he turned around and introduced to Empress Zhang: "This Shen Xi, but the champion of this year's palace examination, is only thirteen years old. ”

Empress Zhang was amazed: "Such talented? Then he should really come over to teach the emperor's knowledge, let the emperor learn from those old gentlemen on weekdays, or maybe it's really a little boring. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought." Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded, which was equivalent to admitting that the transfer of Shen Xi to Zhan Shifu was at his behest, and Zhang Heling next to him showed a mocking smile on his face, which seemed to mean that you Shen Xi was just a "preacher after all".

Even if Shen Xi was born in the imperial examination, but his promotion was not appointed by the official department, but was dispatched by the emperor's order, which was not a normal way of promotion, but belonged to the emperor's "extra kindness", among the courtiers, this kind of usually belonged to the "preacher official", which was easy to be despised by the orthodox courtiers.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Shen Xi and then at the prince, and encouraged: "Emperor, since you have memorized it, today I will recite it again in front of me and your mother, so that I can listen to the deviations in your recitation and testify for you." ”

The prince was dumbfounded when he heard it, what "University Chapters and Sentences", in fact, he didn't memorize it that day, or the Japanese lecturer was accommodating, saying that he would continue to recite it the next day, and then he recorded a "familiar memorization", and the next day it happened that the lecturer was rotated, and without the teacher's supervision, he would have already thrown the matter of Wen Shu out of the clouds.

On weekdays, Emperor Hongzhi inspected his studies, and Zhu Houzhao first memorized certain passages under the instructions of the lecturer, and then took them to cope with the exam.

"Ah......h

The prince opened his mouth wide, he didn't know which part of the "University Chapters and Sentences" Shen Xi was talking about, let alone the whole paragraph, he couldn't even recite a sentence.

Zhu Youji's face was originally full of joy, but when he saw the prince's condition, his face gradually became gloomy. Empress Zhang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said peace: "Maybe the emperor was nervous when he saw the emperor at first glance. ”

To say that Zhu Youzhu may not have enough academic supervision of the prince, the queen is generally clear about how many catties and taels her son has.

The most important thing for a woman is to protect the rights and interests of her children from being violated, even if she knows that her son is playful and playful, she will not tell her husband the truth...... After all, this is a royal family, not an ordinary people's house, and no matter how close the relationship between her and Zhu Youzhi is, they must be subservient to state affairs.

Zhu Youzhu asked with a dark face: "It's not like the article I memorized before, and I forgot it all in a blink of an eye!" Wang Deyu, what's going on? ”

At this time, the person Zhu Youzhu questioned was not Shen Xi, because Shen Xi was only responsible for recording, and the task of teaching was the business of the Japanese lecturer.

However, Shen Xi was also as big as a bucket at this time.

If Wang Hua admits that the prince is not studying at all today, then he and Jin Gui will suffer, and the prince's academic situation will be presented to the emperor.

"Back to Your Majesty, Crown Prince...... Prince ......"

Wang Hua fell to his knees and was speechless for a long time.

Because Wang Hua himself also knew that if he confessed honestly, he would not only suffer it, but more people would be implicated, and the emperor would lose trust in the officials of the Zhan Mansion because of this.

However, the crown prince blinked and defended himself: "Father, in fact, I was very familiar with it before, but you are here...... I forgot about it, and I don't blame Mr. Wang. ”

Although the crown prince is still a bear child, he is responsible for his work, and under the influence of his father, he is quite respectful to the Japanese speaker, just like Zhu Youzhi directly called "Mr." instead of the official name of the enlightenment teacher Liu Jian.

Empress Zhang hurriedly helped: "Yes, the emperor, the emperor has only been out of the cabinet to study for a short time, and after he has achieved some success, it is not too late to carefully check his knowledge." ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "How can you learn tomorrow and tomorrow? The people of Zhan Shifu and others will be punished for one month. Wang Deyu, I limit you to check the prince's homework in detail tonight, and tomorrow I will take the school exam, if you can't memorize it, I should be severely punished! ”

After saying that, Zhu Youzhu flicked his sleeves and went to the Wenhua Hall in a huff, Queen Zhang didn't even have the mood to comfort her son, so she hurriedly chased after her.

The prince, who was still a child, wrinkled his nose and said disdainfully: "If you can't carry it, you can't carry it, why do you have such a big temper?" You are the emperor today, and I will not necessarily be the emperor tomorrow. ”
