Zhu Houzhao grew up in a sugar jar, and the world he knew was only what the emperor's father and those Confucian lecturers wanted him to know, with many mistakes and one-sidedness.

The final result is that he has become extremely inflated, thinking that as long as he grows up, he can be the emperor, in charge of the world, and he is the eldest and the second.

As for how he came to be on the throne, what was the past of the Ming Dynasty, and what kind of difficulties he would encounter in the future, he didn't know anything.

In fact, Shen Xi has always pursued the principle of not telling Zhu Houzhao about some outdated things on the pile of old papers, let alone those so-called rules that follow the old rules, but causing him to think, starting from his character, and gradually changing Zhu Houzhao's outlook on life and worldview.

Of course, this is a very difficult thing, because with his strength alone, he can't make Zhu Houzhao truly appreciate the darkness and cruelty of this world, and there is no way to correct his cynical attitude and be a good emperor.

"Those Tatars are the people of the former Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhu Houzhao was very angry when he heard this, and after receiving Shen Xi's affirmative reply, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then the palace will go back and tell my father that he will send troops to wipe out the tribes on the grassland...... Hmph, it's just that my subordinates were defeated, and they didn't turn the other way!? ”

Liu Jin looked at Shen Xi with a complicated gaze, angry and hateful.

What Shen Xi said was far beyond his comprehension, and he couldn't keep up with the prince's thinking at all. Shen Xi wants to use his own methods to influence Zhu Houzhao, why not Liu Jin? He wants to train the crown prince to be a playful emperor who relies on the people around him and exerts the imperial power to the extreme, only in this way can he, a close attendant, hold great power.

Liu Jin in history undoubtedly succeeded, and Emperor Zhengde trusted him very much. Of course, there is a limit to trust, and when doing things in front of the emperor, you must not only be careful and cater to your wishes, but more importantly, you must not show any flaws, and you must guard against "your own people".

Liu Jin ended up miserable in the end because he was too carried away.

Shen Xi said: "The prince wants to say something to His Majesty, the minister doesn't want to ask, now that the story is finished, the minister should tell the prince the "History of the Song Dynasty". ”

"What are you talking about "History of the Song Dynasty", you haven't finished the story of my dynasty yet, what happened later, Taizu built the country, and the world was peaceful?"

Zhu Houzhao has never heard of it, now he only knows how the Ming Dynasty was established, it is not the same as he imagined, it turned out that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he still left the legacy of Meng Yuan, and even threatened the era in which he lived, so he wanted to know what the later emperors did.

Shen Xi shook his head resolutely: "The prince wants to hear it, and the minister will talk about it next time......"

"Come to this set again, the most angry thing about this palace is that you are always perfunctory, when this palace is a child, right?" Zhu Houzhao stood up and said angrily.

Shen Xi glanced at him, as if to say, aren't you a child?

The things that both your parents know are that they can't tell you that they think you're not old enough to receive this knowledge, and that is enough to show that you are a child, unless one day you can break free from all these shackles, which means that you have grown up.

Shen Xi said: "If the prince doesn't like to listen to it, just ask His Majesty, and the minister will no longer go to the East Palace to speak." ”

Zhu Houzhao sat down angrily, slapped the table, and was so angry that he couldn't wait to drive Shen Xi away immediately. On the side, Liu Jin was very happy, and it was very unfortunate that the prince would be mad now and clear Shen Xi from the team of speakers in the East Palace.

But to Liu Jin's disappointment, Zhu Houzhao quickly fell silent!

Shen Xi is the most interesting of all the lecturers, his age is close to him, in addition to giving him lectures, he also teaches him how to play, if he drives people away simply because he is angry, Zhu Houzhao feels that it is a bit of a fuss.

"Then you can move on. Let's talk about it first, next time I come, I want to listen to what happened after Taizu established the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao stared at him.

Shen Xi didn't say anything about it, and continued to talk about his "History of the Song Dynasty", so that the officials present were relieved.

After the crisis has passed, the lecture will be returned to the right path, if Shen Yude talks nonsense, this class of attendants may have to face replacement, just as the so-called fire at the city gate affected the pond fish.

Shen Xi lectures and needs to stay in the Wenhua Hall all day.

At noon, Shen Xi wanted to stay in the Wenhua Palace, and the food was provided by the Shang Shan Supervisor, Zhu Houzhao went to greet the queen at noon, had lunch with Queen Zhang, and then took a nap before continuing the class.

Shen Xi had eaten, took an out-of-print book borrowed from Xie Duo and read, and soon, Zhu Houzhao's little head came out from behind the door, and seeing that Shen Xi was the only one in the room, he hurriedly ran out and protested: "Hey, you said that you would take me out of the palace, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

Shen Xi shook his head with a smile: "It's not that the ministers don't believe in their words, it's that Your Majesty didn't give the ministers the opportunity to speak." ”

At the beginning, before Zhu Houzhao participated in the pre-palace examination during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Xi had made an agreement with him that if the prince could pass the assessment, Shen Xi would take him out of the palace to play. As a result, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet the next day, the queen was poisoned, and Shen Xi and his wife were jealous of the royal family because of their contributions to the queen's diagnosis, so that he never had the opportunity to lecture in the East Palace again before the year.

Zhu Houzhao was worried about letting Shen Xi give a lecture, and one of the important purposes was to let Shen Xi fulfill his original promise and take him out of the palace.

The little guy is full of yearning for the outside world, but unfortunately the palace is strictly forbidden, and it is not that he can realize this wish if he wants to go out.

"Then you continue to come back to lecture now, why don't you take me out? It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's just today, I told my mother that I wanted to go back to the East Palace, but Liu Gonggong and they thought that I stayed in Kunning Palace to accompany my mother, hehe...... "Zhu Houzhao was a little clever, thinking that he could hide it from both sides, but in fact, when he looked back, everything was exposed."

Shen Xi said: "How long is the prince going to leave the palace?" ”

"Of course, the more time the better, my Ming country is peaceful and peaceful, the city should be very peaceful, there will be no danger if you take me out for a walk, and I still have some good things that can be rewarded to the people I have seen."

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao took out some messy things from his arms, all of which were playthings given to him by his father and mother during the New Year's holidays, and there were also Zhang brothers who gave him, which were more precious than those given by the emperor and queen in terms of value.

Shen Xi thought to himself, are you going to bribe your people with these things?

"No." Shen Xi directly refused, "Even if you want to leave the palace, you must be prepared, and the time to leave the palace cannot exceed half an hour......

"Half an hour, what can you do?" Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied, and wanted to lose his temper, but it was useless to get angry in front of Shen Xi, so he endured it.

To offend other lecturers, at most, those old stubborn lecturers are more serious, and it doesn't hurt him anymore. But if he offends Shen Xi, Shen Xi won't teach him fun, and at the same time, he won't tell him about the glorious history of his ancestors, how uncomfortable is that? Besides, only Shen Xi had the audacity to take him out of the palace!

Although the prince is not very old, he also knows what it is to ask for others, and he understands that it is best to greet people with a smile when he asks for them.

"Mr. Shen, why don't we discuss it, can you see it for an hour?" Zhu Houzhao tried his best to defend, "After I went out, I walked around the streets near the imperial city, and I heard that there are many people on the streets, and there are delicious and fun things, you take me to buy a little and come back, the silver ...... I don't have it at the moment, but I can owe it, and I'll pay it back to you when I become emperor in the future, or if I have the money in my hand. ”

Shen Xi looked at Zhu Houzhao, thinking that this kid had obviously been planned by Zhou Xiang, and he knew how to enjoy it after going out.

"Next time." Shen Xi said, "Wait for the next time, make a detailed plan with the prince, if the plan is right, let alone an hour, even if you stay outside for a whole day." ”

Zhu Houzhao listened, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really?" Hey...... What are the plans, can you tell us about them first? ”

Shen Xi shook his head, now he is helping Zhu Houzhao "escape from prison" as a "military advisor", the palace is a place with a strict gate, and it is quite difficult to send a person out of the palace. This time he is not fooling around, in addition to fulfilling his original promise, the main purpose is to exercise Zhu Houzhao's planning ability and execution, so that his cleverness can really be transformed into practical wisdom.

If the feasibility of the plan is not high, Shen Xi will directly propose it and redraw the plan until he is satisfied. As long as he doesn't let go, with Zhu Houzhao's little head, he will never be able to think of an idea to leave the palace, so the initiative is firmly in the hands of Shen Xi.

In the afternoon class, Zhu Houzhao looked a little listless, he didn't listen to the stories of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't go out of the palace to play.

When the class ended in the evening, Shen Xi returned to Zhan Shifu, and before he could leave, someone came to tell Ma Wensheng to send someone to find him.

"Lord Shen, Ma Shangshu is already waiting outside, please come along." It was Ma Wensheng's guards who came to pass the news.

Ma Wensheng is not an official of the Hanlin system, he took the promotion route of the imperial historian after he was promoted to the sergeant, and at the age of forty-two, he was the right deputy governor of Shaanxi, and showed a strong talent for leading troops in the extermination of the Manchurian Fourth Army, before he was transferred to the military department as the right attendant, and then gradually became an expert in dealing with border affairs and mastered the military power. Therefore, Ma Wensheng will not easily set foot in Zhan Shifu, which is not the same as Xie Qian.

Xie Qian was born as a champion, and his first official position was Hanlin Xiu, and then he was promoted along the line of the right edict of the right Chunfang and the lecturer of the East Palace, the lecturer of the feast, the left concubine of Zuochunfang and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, until he entered the cabinet, and the cabinet was actually only a branch department of the Hanlin Academy in the final analysis, and many things needed the assistance of the Hanlin Academy, so Xie Qian would enter and exit the various yamen of the Hanlin Academy system at will.

Shen Xi came out with the guards, and there was already a carriage waiting at the gate.

Shen Xi walked over, Ma Wensheng lifted the curtain and glanced at him, and then asked people to open the curtain and beckoned Shen Xi to get in the car.

There is only Ma Wensheng in the carriage, usually Ma Wensheng takes a sedan chair up and down, but this time he took the carriage, in addition to the convenience of meeting with Shen Xi, it is likely that there is another urgent matter.

"Go in the direction of Shen Yude's house!" Ma Wensheng gave an order, and it seemed that he had made a special trip to send Shen Xi home.

The space in the carriage was narrow, and it was inconvenient to salute, so Shen Xi had to arch his hand and say: "I don't know if Ma Shangshu is looking for students to come, what advice do you have?" ”

"Shen Xi, have you come back from Yansui Town for some days?" Ma Wensheng did not go directly to the topic, but asked with a look of concern.

Shen Xi thought to himself, so what, are you still planning to send me back again? However, his face remained silent and nodded slightly: "It's been almost a month since the student came back. ”

Ma Wensheng said: "If you are asked to go to the grassland, how do you feel?" ”

These words directly made Shen Xi's heart tighten. Didn't it mean that Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian and others were helping him talk and not let him go to the Dayan Ministry as an envoy? Suddenly came to ask him about his plan, does this mean that with the strength of Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, and Fu Han, they can't say that Emperor Hongzhi has changed his mind to send him to the grassland to preach and appease?

"The students are not qualified, and they are young and frail, so it takes a long time to recuperate and recover from a trip to the three sides, if it is a grassland...... I'm afraid that I can't do it. Shen Xi euphemistically expressed his refusal.

The imperial court is really a toss-up, I am a new champion, a noble Hanlin official, I have already made two trips to Quanzhou and Yansui in a year, can't I send someone else?

Ma Wensheng seemed to have expected Shen Xi to say these words, and said with a smile: "Shen Xi, Your Majesty wants to send you to the grassland to preach **** prestige, this is a weight to you, and many people can't win it if they want to." You say that this Ming is up and down, who can be more suitable than you to go? ”

In this regard, Shen Xi can only say "hehe", this kind of words, it is okay to deceive the kind of people who fight for fame and fame, he doesn't eat this set.

The truth is that those who can work harder, but there are more capable people in the world, why should I work more alone, and I won't be credited afterwards? The sentence "You are young and vigorous and need to be pressed" sent me away, and now I have something to do again, which is sincere to discourage people's enthusiasm!

Shen Xi asked, "Do you have to let the students go?" ”

Ma Wensheng shook his head: "Not necessarily, I don't know what arrangements His Majesty will make at the moment." ”
