As soon as Li Ling arrived in the capital to attend the banquet of the Teaching Workshop Division, a eunuch in the palace came to convey the emperor's will, saying that the two teachers of the crown prince would teach in the East Palace tomorrow, and he must be present.

In the past, although the emperor attached great importance to the prince's schoolwork, it was not to the extent that he made a special trip to let the eunuchs in the palace come and pass it on.

It seems that what the two bachelors have to talk about is extraordinary.

Li Ling got up early during the fifth watch, and arrived at the East Palace when the hundred officials were in the morning.

Li Ling is just a newcomer, and he is not allowed to go to the early dynasty without the emperor's communication, but this is fine, he doesn't want to work every day.

He waited in the prince's study for two hours, but fortunately the prince was quite sympathetic to him as a companion, and he was sent an early one.

Unlike usual, this time it was the two teachers who came together, and even the emperor entered the study.

At the emperor's suggestion, Wang Hua slowly walked to the desk and said: "The "Lizheng" chapter is one of the twenty-eight articles of the "Jinwen Shangshu". According to records, it was made to warn King Zhou Cheng how to govern the country when the Duke of Zhou returned to the government. Today we are going to study this article! ”。

The core idea of national management put forward in the chapter of "Lizheng" when summarizing the lessons of the Xia and Shang dynasties is to emphasize morality and prudence. In the text, the Duke of Zhou once earnestly warned King Zhou Cheng: The lesson of Xia Wei's death is that he is a former servant and a violent virtue. The lesson of the death of the king of Shang is that those who are only ashamed and violent are the same as their state, and those who are only virtuous are the same as their government.

Therefore, Zhou proclamation warned King Zhou Cheng to continue the current government, and he should not use people as good luck as good people, and use them to encourage our country.

It can be seen from Zhou Gong's earnest admonition that he always regarded the moral standards of the people and the strict moral standards of state officials as the foundation of governing the country, and opposed the general use of criminal law.

This proposition of emphasizing virtue and prudence in punishment can be said to have been followed by the governments of later Chinese dynasties, and it is also the origin of the Confucian idea of both ritual and law.

The emperor asked the two scholars to tell this article for the prince in the East Palace, and the meaning is self-evident, this is that the emperor really wants to be the prince of the country and begin to train the prince to deal with state affairs.

Confucius demanded that politics be virtuous. He said: The way is to govern, all to be punished, and the people are ashamed to be free. The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. If the ritual is not happy, the punishment will not be right. The punishment is not hit, and the **** is at a loss.

Mencius continued along this line of thought and emphasized the importance of etiquette, and then put forward the idea of benevolence and benevolence for the people.

He said: Provincial punishment, thin taxation, deep cultivation and easy to raise; The strong man takes a holiday to rest his filial piety and loyalty, enters the father and brother, and goes out to do it, so that the system can be used to tart Chu's sharp armor!

Wang Hua is worthy of being a university scholar, who has studied in the field of literature for decades, and he cites scriptures and classics to explain an article in simple terms.

Even the emperor was attracted by his insights.

After Mr. Wang understood the general meaning of this article, Li Ge Lao expounded the pros and cons of various statecraft ideas based on practical experience.

Judging from the actual development of state management ideas in previous dynasties, the proposition of both etiquette and law was basically adopted.

That is, since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have used the Confucian "Six Classics" as the basis for legislation. As a result, successive dynasties can only form a country with both ritual and law, and cannot become a country with a pure legal system.

"I Ming Dynasty to benevolence and filial piety to govern the country, as the emperor only seeks to appoint people on the basis of merit, do things with a clear conscience, as long as you are diligent in political affairs, listen to the opinions of virtuous ministers, the Ming Dynasty will be the country and the people, the national strength is thriving!".

The emperor also joined in and expressed his opinion, and the pure rule of law or the rule of virtue according to the ideas of the saints would not work.

The imperial dynasty has been implemented for so many years, and a whole set of methods for governing the country has naturally been derived, as long as you follow the path of your predecessors, it is naturally not difficult to be an emperor.

"Yes, the child will remember the lesson of his father!" The prince agreed in a low voice.

The emperor said it so obviously, he naturally knew the meaning of it.

A while ago, Zheng Wang's case was in an uproar, and the crown prince also knew some clues from the words of the emperor and the empress.

At one point, he thought that he was not an empress or even an emperor's own son.

It's just that now it seems that he is too worried, if he is not the emperor's own son, why would the emperor still think about him when he was seriously ill, and why would he pass on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to him?

As the prince listened to the two teachers explain the article, tears flowed down his eyes.

Once the knot was opened, the prince decided to work hard in the future.

Originally, the Zheng Wang gossip case in history was repeated again and again, and it was not until the early years of Zhengde that the victim was sentenced to death.

Emperor Zhengde was repeatedly stimulated, and he only trusted a few eunuchs around him who grew up with him, and indulged in landscapes and beautiful women.

It can be seen that he has always suspected that his emperor came from the wrong way, and even died without leaving a descendant, so that Xiaozong was cut off from it, which is a big pity.

After so many things, the crown prince was clearly confirmed his status, everyone let go of their worries, and the emperor still treated the prince the same as before.

Liu Jin stood in front of Li Ling, and at this time he also let out a long breath, the prince's position was stable, and it was these people who benefited the most.

These chamberlains who served the prince were already linked to the prince's fate when they entered the East Palace. If Zhu Houzhao has a mistake, their future will be even more confused.

The article "Lizheng" is not very long, and the two teachers quickly finished what they were going to talk about. The two of them were leaving.

The reason why the emperor asked people to tell the prince this article so ceremoniously was nothing more than to express an attitude, and now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally will not prevent the two scholars from leaving.

But just when Li Ling wanted to leave with the two bachelors, the queen came uninvited!

"The emperor is prosperous for thousands of years, why is he in such a hurry to teach these great principles of governing the country, Zhao'er has always been stubborn, and it is better to teach it slowly!" After entering the study, the empress ignored the two scholars, but spoke directly to the emperor.

Since Zheng Wang was executed by the emperor, the empress became suspicious.

The eunuchs and ladies in the palace could no longer flatter her, and the queen felt that she had been left out in the cold. She even suspected that many people in the palace were not the prince's biological mother.

She is no longer the good wife and mother she used to be.

The Emperor no longer favored her as before, and she could not treat the crown prince like her own son.

As soon as a person's mentality changes, her behavior becomes unreasonable.

Although the last time the vassal king was not successful, it made her see another hope, she is not the only one who has a choice, if it really comes to the day when the emperor is in power, as the queen, she is the person with the most choice.

Thinking of this, her attitude towards the prince began to be cold.

The prince felt that the queen mother he saw this time was a little strange, and he was even a little afraid of the other party.

The queen's words made him feel a chill, was this to challenge his status as the crown prince?

The queen has managed the palace for many years, so she naturally has a majesty, and now that she says such a thing, the prince and Liu Jin dare not say much.

"People's character is the most wonderful, often it takes three years to learn well, and only three days to learn badly! The prince is the prince of the country, so he naturally has to educate him earlier, so as not to delay the best time, and it is nothing if his character is poor, and the most important thing is that he can't be a villain with a honey belly! ”。 When everyone was silent, Li Ling suddenly spoke.

The emperor has endured the queen for more than ten years, and he will not quarrel with the queen in family matters.

Li Ling suddenly alluded to the queen's nosy affairs, which surprised the two pavilion bosses, he was just receiving a job in the Hanlin Academy, what qualifications did he have to participate in the royal affairs.

The two old men began to worry about Li Ling, and they turned their eyes to the emperor, hoping that he could relieve Li Ling.

This kid insinuated, she was insinuating that she was inconsistent, and the queen hated Li Ling to death in her heart.

Just as she was thinking about how to use the power in her hand to eradicate the other party, she suddenly saw the jade piece hanging from his neck.

Legend has it that this jade tablet can channel the spirits, and it was with this jade tablet that he was able to help the emperor tide over the difficulties last time.

The queen hesitated a little, no matter how great the imperial power was, it couldn't fight the divine power, especially the people in the capital who witnessed Li Ling's success in asking for rain.

The impact is enormous. Now that the people are on Li Ling's side in everything, it is difficult to move him.

The queen secretly made up her mind that she must transfer the other party out of the capital.

"Father, can I follow Li Ling to his grange to play?" The crown prince found the atmosphere here very boring, and he wanted to play outside the palace for a few days.
