Chapter 305: Jun's Grace is Unpredictable (1st Update)
In later generations, eight-year-olds are the age to spoil their parents and enjoy the best time in their lives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the little prince in front of him had to study and read under the supervision of a group of auxiliary ministers of the East Palace.
The prince's reading is different from others, others read for fame, and the prince studies for governing the country.
The difference is hard to put into words.
Xie Shen carefully observed the little prince who was sitting in front of the bookcase, and found that Zhengde at this time was completely a good baby, and there was no uninhibited history described in later generations.
It is also the original nature of human beings to be good. Zhengde's personality change is also due to the repression of long-term palace confinement and a rebellious psychology.
Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh that the timing of his tenure in Zhan Shifu's right Chunfang was very good, and the little prince was still "saved".
The lecture is nothing more than the Confucian one, the little prince is like a puppet listening to the lectures of the left and right concubines, although he is very bored in his heart, he has to pretend to be humbly taught.
There are many auxiliary ministers in the East Palace, but those who can really give lectures to the prince are counted on one hand, left and right concubines, left and right Yude...... As for Xie Shen, who is a six-pin praiser, he really has no status, and is more of the role of the director of the East Palace Office.
Zi said: "The gentleman is courteous, and people think it is flattering." ”
Zuo concubine Zhang Tianrui Zhang Lao Yu read a sentence faintly, and asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, what does this sentence mean?" ”
Since the prince has just come out of the cabinet to study, he naturally can't talk about too profound things, otherwise it will not be easy to understand, but it will discourage the prince's enthusiasm for studying. Therefore, Zhang Tianrui chose the most easy-to-understand "Analects" as the teaching material.
Xiao Zhengde seemed to have read this sentence before, and immediately said in a deep voice: "This sentence is to say, if you serve the monarch with courtesy, people will think that it is flattery." ”
Zhang Tianrui nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "What does Your Highness think?" ”
Zhengde tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying: "The king is the minister, and the father is the son." The courtiers serve the monarch with courtesy, and they abide by their duties. thought that this move was flattering, and most of them were villains. ”
Although the little prince's answer was not perfect, it could be regarded as giving his own opinion.
Zhang Tianrui was very satisfied.
Today, His Majesty has shown the appearance of a wise monarch when he is the crown prince. In Zhang Tianrui's view, the prince of this dynasty also has the possibility of becoming a Ming monarch.
Xie Shen sighed secretly in his heart.
When he read the history books, he knew that Zhengde was young and intelligent, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Such a good seedling can be cared for, and it would be a pity if it developed into a leisurely and hard-working king according to the trajectory of history.

......
In the eyes of some people, the four words of the East Palace are like a stone, but in Xie Shen's view, the East Palace is just a profession.
After coming back from the Wenhua Palace, Xie Shen and Qianqian listened to music in the house as usual to cultivate their sentiments.
The biggest advantage of the Hongzhi Dynasty is that there are not much changes, which refers to both military and political aspects.
Without so much nonsense, people can calm down and do something practical without being hindered.
Serving in the East Palace, compiling and revising the canon, plus accompanying Qianqian to listen to music and write stories, Xie Shen's small life was very comfortable.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the tenth year of Hongzhi.
Since March, Jingshi, Zhending, Ningxia, Yulin, Zhenfan, Lingzhou, Taiyuan, Haifeng and other places have been earthquakes one after another, and Tunliu is the most serious.
This frightened Emperor Hongji.
You must know that in feudal society, earthquakes can interpret many things, the most direct is that the Son of Heaven is not virtuous.
After all, the Son of Heaven is the son of God, and when God is angry, he naturally has to be the son's back.
At this time, the idle institution of Qin Tianjian came in handy, and after some interpretation of the will of heaven, the recital written by Chen was handed to the palace.
Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief after reading Qin Tianjian's interpretation of the earthquake, as long as he was not allowed to make an edict.
On March 22, after listening to the feast, Emperor Hongzhi sent his personal eunuch Wei Tai to the cabinet to summon Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian to the Wenhua Palace.
Naturally, the theme of the deliberations will not be publicized to the public, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was the Son of Heaven who asked the ministers for their opinions on the recent frequent earthquakes.
The Imperial Chamber, the Cabinet, and the Imperial Chambers are all next to each other, in the south of the Wenhua Palace.
After the Son of Heaven issued the edict, several ministers immediately set off to the Wenhua Hall to discuss matters.
is very different from the first emperor Chenghua Tianzi, Emperor Hongzhi is very diligent, and in this regard, he is comparable to the workaholic Demon Taizu Emperor. As a place to give lectures to the Son of Heaven, the Wenhua Hall was often used to summon courtiers, of course, because of the distance, the Son of Heaven usually only summoned courtiers.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, the most important thing to do is to reassure the people.
What the Son of Heaven has to do is to reflect on his words and deeds, such as whether there is any immorality. The local government has to reduce or reduce taxes to a certain extent. These are all routines, you just need to do them step by step, and there is really no difficulty.
However, it was said that when Xie Qian and Xie Ge were chatting with their son Xie Pi at home, they inadvertently told the news that the Son of Heaven was going to release Xie Shen to the Lu'an Mansion of the Shanxi Political Division.
Xie Shen was drinking tea in Hanlin Courtyard that day, and when he heard that Xie Pi was coming, he hurriedly asked someone to welcome his friend in.
The two of them have to work in the yamen on weekdays, so they don't come and go often, and if they want to get together, they will also get together in private.
Xie Shen was a little curious: "Why, Brother Pi Xian actually has the time to come to the Hanlin Academy, and Master Tu is no longer staring at you?" ”
Xie Pi hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "Congratulations, Brother Shen, you may be promoted." ”
Promotion is a good luck, and Hanlin revision is a positive six products, which is the standard configuration of champions. Zhan Shifu Right Chunfang Right Zanshan is also a positive six grades, although it is extremely noble, but in terms of grade, there is really no improvement. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor can't stand it anymore, and wants to give him a right edict.
Xie Shen knew that Xie Pi's father was a minister of the Holy Family, so he would naturally have first-hand information, and this news should not be fake.
"Brother Tuo Pi Xian Ji Yan, but I don't know what official position it is?"
Xie Pi said helplessly: "Your Majesty seems to have an idea to release you, it should be from Shanxi." ”
No way!
Xie Shen almost shouted. This was a bit of a surprise to him.
The career trajectories of the top three in the first class of the Ming Dynasty are all set, that is, first mix qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, and then go to the East Palace to mix qualifications. If you mix and mix, you can become a cabinet reserve cadre......
This kind of work is leisurely and not easy to make mistakes, which is simply beautiful.
And those who are from the second rank and those who are from the same jinshi have to go to the county order and the governor to boil their qualifications, whether they can return to Beijing or not, let alone enter the center of the Ming court.
