Chapter 6 Xuewen (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
In Zhu Di's view, his grandson is a prodigy, so naturally he must arrange a prodigy to be a teacher.
Although he is a teacher, Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of the emperor, so the first assistant of the cabinet, Xie Jin, this once famous prodigy, became Zhu Zhanji's teacher.
Of course, at this time, the cabinet chief assistant was not a high-ranking official, he did not have half of the real power, he was just the emperor's staff officer, and the cabinet chief assistant was only three grades.
Later, the cabinet gradually controlled the government and concurrently served as an official of the six ministries, and it became a product.
Zhu Zhanji still has some understanding of Xie Jin's name, because he is the editor-in-chief of the "Yongle Canon" and one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty.
However, although this person is erudite and talented, he is a stunned person with extremely low emotional intelligence, and he has offended too many people.
What impressed Zhu Zhanji the most was the cause of his death, which turned out to be that he was drunk and buried in a snowdrift and froze to death.
With such a teacher, Zhu Zhanji doesn't know whether it's a curse or a blessing.
The advantage of being a teacher is that he is good at calligraphy and is erudite. The disadvantage is, of course, that his ability to pull hatred is too strong, and he can't say that he will wipe his ass for this stunned man in the future.
Thinking that he would fight in the ring with ruthless people like Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang for him in the future, Zhu Zhanji felt a headache.
In the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di was busy purging the remnants of Emperor Jianwen.
All officials who were degraded during the Jianwen period were reinstated. All reforms during the Jianwen period were abolished, and all laws and regulations formulated during the Jianwen period were abolished if they were contrary to Taizu.
In order to make his throne appear legitimate, he had to treat scholars well, and promoted a large number of literati who had no political bias during the original Jianwen Emperor period to help him brag about his fame.
After Yashan, Meng Yuan reigned in the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the virtuous literati family was almost wiped out.
Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, literati have been just the echoes of the emperor.
Zhu Di seized his nephew's country, and there was only one clear stream Fang Xiaoru who was upright.
What is a clear stream, that is, just a mouth cannon, it can't do any practical things, and it doesn't contribute to the country and the people.
When the world is peaceful, the clear stream can be used as a tool to balance the court, and in troubled times, the clear stream is a waste that drags its feet.
Zhu Di just saw that Fang Xiaoru was bent on fame, but he didn't have the slightest ability, so he simply killed him.
Although he took advantage of the literati, he never took them seriously. Moreover, he only uses people with practical talents, and there is no market for mouth cannons here.
Although he did not attach great importance to the literati, he attached great importance to the practical people. At the beginning of his tenure, all the literati promoted were all great talents in the world.
In the first year of Yongle, he promoted Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Yang Rong, and Hu Yan to form the Wenyuan Pavilion cabinet. In addition, Yang Pu, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Yu Qian, etc., all of them were the most politically skilled literati in the Zhongxing period of the Ming Dynasty.
Although his reputation in later generations is not good, throughout the history of 5,000 years, in the profession of being an emperor, there are only three or five emperors who can compare with Zhu Di.
As for the rule of Renxuan, who was blown to the sky by later generations, Kangqian was prosperous, and he was a scum compared to him.
The changes in the court have nothing to do with Zhu Zhanji, who is only six years old now. In order to let Zhu Zhanji learn, Zhu Di personally ordered to build a palace for his two uncles in Jinling and vacate Wenyuan Pavilion.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't like the palace in the first place, he liked fishing, and he had big rules in the palace, not only had many constraints, but also lost the space to move.
You must know that the palace can be regarded as Zhu Gaochi's home field, his goal is to compete with his brother for the throne, and in the palace, he has no advantage.
Only by leaving the palace, retreating as advancing, and developing his own power outside the palace, can he have the opportunity to wrestle with his brother.
Zhu Gaosui was reluctant, and it was okay to vacate Wenyuan Pavilion to form a cabinet. But Zhu Di actually asked him to move out of the palace in order to make it easier for Zhu Zhanji to study, which is too sorry for his son.
A yellow-haired child, who has not made any credit, but now he has suddenly surpassed their two sons who have made great achievements on the battlefield, how can it be convincing.
However, he is a dark eagle by nature, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, but secretly speeding up the pace of competition with his two elder brothers.
Wenyuan Pavilion is also the prototype of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, and now Xie Jin is the first assistant, but he is only a third-grade official.
They are equivalent to the emperor's secretaries, and the major events of the court are summarized every day, and these secretaries have to give handling opinions for each fold, and then summarize the folds and preliminary handling opinions to Zhu Di.
In addition to these official duties, Xie Jin is also responsible for teaching six-year-old Zhu Zhanji a class for an hour every morning, and then assigns class tasks before going to work.
At noon, he would check Zhu Zhanji's homework and tell Zhu Zhanji what was right and what was wrong, and when Zhu Zhanji thoroughly understood, the day's homework would be over.
After experiencing the cramming education of later generations, the current education method does not put any pressure on Zhu Zhanji at all.
In later generations, primary education was the alternation of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, the breadth of language, and the profundity of mathematics, so as to thoroughly develop students' cognitive ability to the world.
And this kind of elite education of a teacher and a student, only learning one subject is Chinese, so these are very easy for Zhu Zhanji to learn.
The only thing that is not easy is a hundred big characters a day.
Zhu Zhanji can be regarded as appreciating the importance that people in this era attach to calligraphy. In the eyes of later generations, writing is just a tool and a way, but people in this era can regard calligraphy as more important than literary style.
He is still young, and he only needs to write 100 big characters a day, but each of these words must be neatly written, and no mistakes can be made, even if there is an extra ink spot on the word, it needs to be rewritten.
Zhou You in his previous life was not a patient person, but writing these 100 brush words every day really tests a person's patience.
However, he did not complain at all, but regarded writing as a way to hone his mind.
He didn't know that although Xie Jin only simply praised two sentences every day, his words had already caused a lot of sensation in the cabinet and Zhu Di.
For a six-year-old, it's nice to be able to write neatly with a brush. At this time, it was just copying, and there was no calligraphy at all.
But Zhu Zhanji is not just Zhu Zhanji, he also travels.
Zhou You is a backward student and a second-rate child in primary and secondary schools in modern society. Such students tend to write well in order to be in the limelight during school.
The hard pen calligraphy of Zhou Yu is very good, and the regular script imitates Pang Zhonghua for a few years, and then develops in the direction of the line of calligraphy after having a little foundation, and then to the cursive stage, it has its own style.
Although he is only six years old now, he has just started to practice calligraphy, but the style of his previous life has influenced the present.
Therefore, although his brush calligraphy has a poor foundation, the overall framework structure and style are there, so that his calligraphy has its own style from the beginning.
And his calligraphy style is not that gorgeous and elegant, with a kind of coldness and sharpness, very imposing.
This is simply incredible for a six-year-old child, Xie Jin will not praise him without a bottom line in front of him, but in front of a group of colleagues in the cabinet, including the emperor, he can only praise him as a saint.
This also makes a group of colleagues envious of the abnormal, being able to be the son of the world. And he is also a teacher who is very likely to become an emperor in the future, which is the prosperity of the three generations of the Xie family!
Zhu Di also saw the decisive momentum of killing from Zhu Zhanji's calligraphy, and became more and more fond of this grandson of Xiao Ji.
Strictly ordered the calligraphy of the prince to never be out of the Wenyuan Pavilion, for a six-year-old child, such a calligraphy style is really a little too advanced.
Zhu Zhanji didn't know anything about this, his main energy now was still on getting familiar with the environment, and the ups and downs outside had nothing to do with him now.
However, he did not expect that his first political participation would come so quickly.
On the first day of the fifth month of the first year of Yongle, Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that Yanping Beiping was the emperor's "land of dragon prosperity", and he should follow the example of Ming Taizu to Fengyang, Henan, and set up it as the accompanying capital.
As soon as this recital came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the court.
Everyone can see that this move is to welcome Zhu Di's heart, and it is also a test of Zhu Di's court.
Zhu Di's heart to move the capital can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, but today's Jinling can be described as the world's largest city, with a population of more than one million.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also famous fish and rice towns, the economy is developed, the capital moved to Beiping, which is now only a small city, and the court resistance is very great.
Even if Zhu Di has a rare hegemonic potential, he can't directly go against the trend, and if he wants to move the capital, he must also pay attention to methods.
The first step is to list Beiping as a companion capital, and when the time is ripe, then announce the relocation of the capital.
The cabinet also disagreed on this move, and they argued over the matter for several days, but there was no result.
Zhu Zhanji, who was studying in Wenyuan Pavilion, originally knew nothing about this matter, and he studied in the side hall between Wenyuan Pavilion and Tianyi Pavilion of the Library Library, and there was still some distance from the lobby.
There are five rooms in the side hall, there is a separate small courtyard, and it leads directly to the inner palace, which can go directly to the Wenhua Hall where he lives, the Benren Palace.
The Wenyuan Pavilion is built on the wall of the palace, on the southernmost side of the palace, you can directly enter the Wenyuan Pavilion when you enter the palace gate, but you have to go through the access control if you want to enter the inner palace.
It is not a good thing that he is too young and has too much contact with foreign ministers. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Zhanji rarely entered Wenyuan Pavilion.
However, this day has passed at noon, Xie Jin has not yet arrived, and he is inevitably a little curious about the cabinet established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, so he simply took Jin Kuo and Yu Xian to find Xie Jin.
Since he came to Wenyuan Pavilion to study, in addition to Fu Dianyi and Xue Zhangyu, he has added two long retinues sent to him by Zhu Di.
Chang Sui was considered a middle-level cadre in the eunuch rank of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not have much real power. But now that I have followed Zhu Zhanji, I can be regarded as having hope.
Jin Kuo's ancestral home is Yangzhou, and he speaks little, but he is loyal and steady.
Yu's ancestral home is Xingguo Road, Huguangxing Province, and Zhu Zhanji asked to know that the so-called Xingguo Road is the Xianning of later generations.
Yu Xian also doesn't say much, he says what he should say, doesn't say what he shouldn't say, and does things at a glance.
Zhu Zhanji is still young, and Zhu Di also deliberately chose two such eunuchs to arrange them by his side, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.
Fu Dianyi and the others couldn't follow Zhu Zhanji to contact the ministers, but Jin Kuo and they didn't have this scruples. So now, on the contrary, they follow Zhu Zhanji more often.
