"Father, I-"

Perhaps sensing his father's displeasure, Zhu Wenkui was a little scared and couldn't help lowering his head.

"Alas!"

Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly, is he too demanding? In the next life, he should just be a student who has just entered the first year of junior high school, enjoying the years like flowers! It's a pity that now ......

However, he is the prince of the empire!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen turned the book in his hand to a certain page, and then handed it to his son: "Kui'er, have you read this article?" ”

"This one?"

Zhu Wenkui looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but light up: "I've seen it, Erchen has seen it, this is Mr. Fang's "Theory of Deep Consideration". ”

"What do you think?"

"That's good."

"What's so good?"

"The kings of the past punished the evils of the previous generations, and took measures to save the time, but in the end they were not spared from death. Therefore, the gentleman pointed out that manpower is poor, and the way of heaven is endless, so the king should use less wisdom, should accumulate sincerity, use great virtue and tie the heart of heaven, so that heaven favors his virtue, if the mother of the child is pure and cannot bear to let go. Therefore, although his descendants are stupid enough to perish the country, the heavens cannot bear to die......"

In the end, Zhu Wenkui couldn't help but be proud and recited the words and sentences in the text.

Zhu Yunwen didn't speak, just looked at his son fixedly.

"What's wrong? Father? ”

Zhu Wenkui's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he said, "Is my son wrong?" ”

"Haha,"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Child, do you really think that God will be attached to a surname and not let it perish?" ”

"This-"

Zhu Wenkui scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "This, my son is actually not very sure, but Mr. Fang is a humble gentleman, so he shouldn't talk nonsense!" ”

Seeing his son's appearance, Zhu Yunwen felt a little funny, so he had to speak: "Hehe, this article is quite good in terms of literary style, but in terms of causal reasoning, there is nothing to be desired. ”

"For example, this one, 'The sons of good doctors often die of diseases, and the sons of good witches often die of demons.'" Is this statement true? How did Mr. Fang come to this conclusion? Did he investigate the cause of death of these people? If he hadn't investigated, he was talking nonsense, and with his identity, wasn't he afraid of misleading people's children? ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this conclusion is correct, how did you come to that conclusion - 'working in seeking people and clumsy in seeking heaven'?"

"Finally, the question I just asked, will God really not bear to lose a surname and a country? Is this true? If it is true, how did Fang Xiaoru know? ”

Hearing his father's words, Zhu Wenkui was a little confused, he found that the articles he admired very much had so many loopholes, and his father's doubts could not be said to be unreasonable.

"Father, son, son, son......"

"It's okay," Zhu Yunwen stood up, walked to the window, looked at the white hydrangeas blooming in the courtyard, was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Kui'er, Fang Xiaoru's article also has some merits, that is-there is no such thing as two things in the world, and the saints and sages of the past dynasties can make new disadvantages, but there will definitely be new disadvantages, and our Ming Dynasty is no exception." ”

"Quill, you know what? If I don't implement the integrated payment of grain by the gentry, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely die at the hands of the gentry! ”

What the?

The faint voice of his father came, Zhu Wenkui's head buzzed, he stood up in disbelief, subconsciously looked around, and found that there were only his father and son in the room, and the others, even Liu Zhen, the henchman of his father, had been driven out of the door.

"Don't you believe it?"

"Father, I-"

"Quier, sit down, I will tell you two things today, you must keep in mind."

"First, you can learn a lot of things in the Zhan Mansion, but you have to remember that these things only give you an idea of what kind of person is a good courtier, but it does not tell you how to be a good emperor."

"To be a good emperor, you must jump out of the trap of these books, you must learn to look down on them from a higher level, to see if they are beneficial to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, if it is useful, it will be used, and if it is useless, it will be discarded."

"You have to remember that there is no absolute right or wrong in everything in the world, it is just a difference in time, place, object, and position."

"For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang patrolled Suiyang, there was no food in the city, and people cannibalized, was it right or wrong?"

"Is it right or wrong for Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty to kill Yue Fei?"

"Of course Zhang Xun is right, if Suiyang is lost, the Anshi rebels will enter Jiangnan, and Datang will be in danger."

"Hehe, when An Lushan is the emperor, must he be worse than Li Longji and Li Heng?"

"This,"

Zhu Wenkui was speechless.

"What's more, those soldiers and civilians who starved to death in Suiyang, who should they talk to?"

"No matter what you say, Erchen thinks that Zhang Xun has contributed to Tang and should be praised."

"Well, what about Yue Fei?"

"Of course Yue Fei shouldn't have been killed!"

"Why?"

"Yue Fei is determined to serve the country, his talent is outstanding, and he is a rare loyal and brave man, which is really a pity."

"But Yue Fei's death brought about a collegiate discussion in Shaoxing and peace in exchange for the peace of Jin and Song."

"Father, you are using strong words!"

Zhu Wenkui's eyes widened and he said angrily.

"Hehe, it's really not suitable for Yue Fei to be an example, but in the future, you will encounter countless similar things, and everyone is arguing with reason, all of them are seeking your support, such as Fang Xiaoru's "Theory of Deep Consideration".

"The following is the second thing I told you, the criteria for judging whether things are good or bad, right or wrong, is actually very simple, whether it is beneficial to the imperial power and whether it is beneficial to the people."

"There is no contradiction between the imperial power and the people, it is nothing more than the difference between short-term interests and long-term interests, in the long run, the dynasty that does not consider the interests of the people will not last long, but if you only consider the people and do not consider the imperial power, then the emperor will not be interesting to do, and even the emperor's throne will not be stable."

"The degree of this is not so easy to grasp, and its subtlety, you have to carefully figure it out, observe it carefully, can you understand?"

"Kui'er, the emperor is the supreme and noble position in the world, it can give you supreme glory, endless wealth, beauty, and power are all at your disposal, but at the same time, you will feel endless loneliness, because everyone is flattering you, relying on you, wanting to get what he wants from you, and you can only rely on yourself."

"You have to remember that everyone is making suggestions, and the final decision is you, and it can only be you!"

......

Zhu Yunwei talked eloquently, as if he had been suppressed for too long, while Zhu Wenkui was a little stunned and at a loss.

Long.

Zhu Yunwen felt thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"By the way, Kui'er, I have a question for you, why did Emperor Taizu want to move Mencius out of the Confucian Temple?"

"This,"

Zhu Wenkui hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Father, the son heard that it was because of that sentence, 'The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ’”

"Well, what do you think of that?"

"Erchen, Erchen thinks ......"

Zhu Wenkui was silent for a while, and finally raised his head: "Erchen thinks what Mencius said makes sense. ”

"Then do you mean that Grandpa Tai did something wrong?"

"No, no, that's not what Erchen meant!"

Zhu Yunwen's words made Zhu Wenkui jump in fright, how dare he say that Emperor Taizu was wrong, that is the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty and the spiritual idol of the imperial family!

"Hehe, Kui'er, the reason why Emperor Taizu did this is worth playing! This is also the homework I left for you, you go back and think about it carefully, and carefully understand Emperor Taizu's foresight! ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law commands!"

......

"This kid is so sincere!"

Looking at his son's back, Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly.

In this conversation, Zhu Yunwen racked his brains and tried his best to instill his ideas into his son, but what the actual effect will be, we can only wait and see.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen sent someone to call Huang Zicheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Mr. Huang, I plan to make you a guest of the prince and teach the prince the "Long and Short Classics", I don't know what you think?"

"Wechen obeys!"

......
