Chapter 193: The Son of Heaven Worries for His Name, and the Prince Becomes the Son of the World (II)
"Little Marquis Zhang?"
Facing such a young man who was personally sent over by Xiao Jing, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant seal, Xu Xun's face was as usual, but Wang Shouren almost didn't bare out of his eyes. It's a military training here, Xu Xun sent him, the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, to supervise the army, and he just pulled him to be a cow and a horse, but it was because of the serious matter of military training. However, the emperor sent this Shouning Hou Shizi over to observe, and asked him to give him more guidance, what is this? Even if he Wang Shouren is unwilling in the military department, he won't let him see the child, right?
And Xu Xun was just serious on his face, but his stomach was about to burst with laughter, especially when he looked at Zhu Houzhao, who just called himself the little marquis, but almost got into a goof when he said his name. It's just that in front of Wang Shouren, who was full of confusion and depression, he didn't show it well. However, when Zhu Houzhao turned around and visited Xiao Jing under the guidance of Xiao Jing, Wang Shouren immediately pulled him to the side, his eyes were full of doubts and thoughtfulness.
"The emperor is so dignified, how could he call the Hou Shizi of Shouning?"
For this matter, Xu Xun first asked Wang Shouren not to go home for three months, and just now Xiao Jing reiterated the matter, he saw that Wang Shouren didn't pay attention to it at all, so he was naturally not in a hurry in the face of this question at this time.
"The king is in charge, the love between the emperor and the queen is unprecedented, and there are many favors to the Zhang family, am I right?"
Although the government and the opposition have a lot of dissatisfaction with Empress Zhang, even if they dare not say that they are jealous, arrogance is the secret opinion of most people, and even Emperor Hongzhi was accused of such a Zhongxing Holy Lord behind his back, and he was actually afraid of the inside. However, Wang Shouren and his wife Zhu have been married for many years without children, but they have never taken a concubine, and outsiders also have the word "fear of the inside", so he only admires and admires the love between the emperor and the queen, and feels that he can be a model for all husbands and wives among the people. However, he still disagreed with the favor of the Zhang family.
"That's right, but even if the emperor treats the Zhang family with courtesy, this time he will be too gracious to this little marquis."
"Yes, but the king and the politicians should understand the emperor's good intentions. The Zhang family is the queen's mother's family, and now there are two marquises, which seems to be unspeakably expensive, but what about ten or twenty years later? If there is no capable talent in the family, it is just sitting and eating mediocrity. The emperor had only admonished the Marquis of Shouning before, and now he wanted to lead the Marquis of Shouning to the right path, I have to say that this is really a heart of love for the Zhang family. And as our courtiers, we should also make more efforts to do this, so that the Hou Shizi of Shouning can understand the hardships of the people, understand the difficulties of the world, and understand the situation in the army. After all, this little marquis is a nobleman, and it is difficult to guarantee whether he will lead the army to the battlefield in the future. At that time, it doesn't matter if he is safe, the safety of the soldiers, the safety of his family and country, that is the most important thing. ”
After Xu Xun's reasonable remarks, Wang Shouren was finally moved, and he didn't hear any flaws at all - after all, Emperor Hongzhi's favor to the Zhang family was almost unreasonable, and the most lenient Son of Heaven even sent Li Mengyang to prison because his friend Li Mengyang impeached the Zhang family. There is no way to reverse the emperor's overly partialistic mentality, so there is only one way to attack the next generation of rulers of the Shouning Marquis Mansion!
"You're right, if you can lead this little marquis to the right path, it is really a blessing in the world!"
Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi and Xu Xun had planned to attract such a supernumerary lecturer to him, and Xu Xun had fooled Wang Shouren, who was making up his mind to reform him. In order for him to come out in disguise as Zhang Xiaohou today, all the eunuchs near the inner school field have been changed, and corresponding arrangements have been made along the way, which is enough to ensure that he will wander around here without anyone noticing, causing another uproar in the court. And the poor real Marquis Zhang is nesting in Kunning Palace.
Yesterday I just watched from a distance for a while, and it was not good to observe these many young soldiers of the same age as myself up close, but since he seized the opportunity today, Zhu Houzhao even beckoned someone to come up and asked some strange questions, which provoked Xiao Jing, who was seventy or eighty next to him, to be worried. He didn't notice what others thought of him, and after asking, he waved his hand to drive people away, and when he was done in a big circle, he was about to speak to Xiao Jing beside him, but unexpectedly, a sharp bamboo whistle suddenly came from the side.
This sudden voice made Xiao Jing and the others feel like a great enemy. However, seeing that a large number of young soldiers who had just sat on the ground and rested all got up and ran towards the direction of the bamboo whistle, Liu Jin immediately smiled and said: "Little Hou Ye, it should be a gathering, they are going to practice again!" ”
"Let's go, let's see!"
Zhu Houzhao saw a few tug-of-wars yesterday, and today he was very curious about what else Xu Xun had to do, and when he saw that Yiying and others quickly stood up into five big squares, he suddenly ran around, and he suddenly blinked his eyes and looked around. After looking around for a while, he happened to see the head of the military department who he had seen before coming over with his hands behind his back, so he immediately beckoned: "You...... Well, that Wang Shouren, come here! ”
The dignified prince, in addition to the queen mother and the queen of the two palaces, plus the three elders and the ministers of the ministries who can be counted, the rest cannot be counted. Therefore, of course, Zhu Houzhao does not think that there is anything wrong with calling Wang Shouren by his name.
However, Wang Shouren did not see it that way. is also the prince, why is this Shouning Hou Shizi so different from Xu Xun, the son of Xing'an? It must be because of the fine clothes and food, I don't know the suffering of the people, I don't know the sophistication of the people, and I must turn it around!
"Little Marquis."
"Come on, come on, you explain to this little marquis, isn't the gist of this training to dance the knife and make the stick, how can you run up? Also, why shout the slogan of one, two, three, four? ”
If Wang Shouren was already very uninterested in this Shouning Hou Shizi, then at this moment, when he heard the three words of the little marquis on his lips, he frowned even more. However, after thinking about Xu Xun's words, he patiently explained: "Little Marquis, these are the remnants of the avant-garde of the government army, and they still have some foundation in martial arts training before, but they are a mess of scattered sand. Therefore, it is necessary to practice the queue first, and use the discipline of the army as a regular army. As a soldier, the most important thing is discipline, for example......"
He suddenly stretched out his palm, made a gesture at Zhu Houzhao's five fingers, and then clenched his fist and hit it out at once: "It's like five fingers, if you go your own way, it won't hurt even if you hit someone, but if five fingers can be pinched into a fist, then it's a sharp blow." ”
"Ahh With such a simple analogy, Zhu Houzhao immediately nodded when he heard it, and then said thoughtfully, "According to what you said, you have to retract your fist before hitting someone, and then hit it out in order to accumulate strength." And Xu Xun didn't let them practice those battle formations as soon as they came up, but it was not a real sword and a real gun, but it was actually a kind of accumulation! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Shouren, who was still a little perfunctory just now, couldn't help but be taken aback. After looking at Zhu Houzhao for a while, he smiled happily: "The little marquis is really smart, and he can be compared to him because of this!" ”
Although Zhu Houzhao was not less said by those court bigwigs to be smart and natural, but these people said that they went to Emperor Hongzhi to complain behind their backs, and over time, he also developed a sharp eye that could almost immediately see whether other people's praise was sincere or perfunctory. Seeing that Wang Shouren was really surprised and appreciative at this time, he became proud: "You can see that I am smart, and you are not simple!" Can you make it so simple without those caregivers, you are ......"
Because of his smooth mouth, Zhu Houzhao almost wanted to say that you are better than those lecturers in Wenhua Palace, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally choked back, because he changed his words and said: "You are much stronger than those Mr. Xixi in my house!" ”
"Oh, dare to ask the little marquis, how does Mr. Xixi of your mansion give lectures?"
Wang Shouren asked, Zhu Houzhao was only reprimanded by Emperor Hongzhi before, and immediately poured out the bitter scriptures: "How else can I give a lecture, as soon as I come up, I will first shake my head and read it again, and then let me read it to them three times, and then repeat it again and again, and break it down into words one by one!" Hey, it's all the scriptures and meanings of the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't take the imperial examination, why are they talking about it? It's better to talk about the historical records, Han books, and Tang books......"
Zhu Houzhao scratched this prison, naturally he couldn't stop it, although he couldn't say the names of those bigwigs, but how good it was for him to remember his surname, for a while to learn Liu Jian's endless talk when he explained the Analects, for a while to learn Ma Wensheng's trembling and majestic lecture on etiquette, and for a while to learn the impassioned of a few middle-aged speakers, and at the end he spread his hands and said: "Speaking of which, it's all empty, and it sounds boring!" ”
Although Zhu Houzhao only learned one or two sentences from everyone, Wang Shouren still heard a little clue, and secretly smacked his tongue This Shou Ninghou actually invited this very good level of Mr. Xixi for his son, but it is a pity that he must have given this little marquis a little anger and left. However, he himself was not a worry-free person when he was young and went to school, and his initial resistance to Zhu Houzhao almost disappeared at this time, and was replaced by a deep sigh.
Learning but not being able to do it, teaching but not its method, this is probably the reason why the wealthy have more!
"It's better to read thousands of books, it's better to travel thousands of miles, the little marquis should have never been out of the capital, right?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao nodding again and again, Wang Shouren smiled confidently with his hands behind his back: "Then the little marquis wants to know what the scene is outside the capital?" ”
"Of course!"
"Well, these old gentlemen are well learned, but the rules and regulations they talk about are really too boring. If the little marquis does not give up, I studied in the capital, I went to Juyongguan when I was young, and then stayed in Zhejiang for a few years, and went to Shandong to preside over the township test, from north to south, I can tell you about the situation under this big tomorrow! ”
Xu Xun, who had been secretly paying attention, saw that the two sides were talking happily, so he stepped forward and just heard Wang Shouren's last words. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's eyes were bright, he smiled and added the last weight to the prince's scale.
"Little Marquis probably doesn't know that the king is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, even if he is a kung fu in horseback archery, he will never be able to count those generals in a hundred battles!"
I'm still a master of archery!
Zhu Houzhao was finally completely moved, and immediately couldn't help but nod heavily: "Okay, I want to listen to what kind of scene outside the capital, but I want to learn archery first!" I've wanted to learn for a long time, but I've never had the chance! ”
