"Yuanfu, what you said is very right, as a teacher, you should find more time to get close to Your Majesty. You are now the teacher of the Son of Heaven, I don't know where the emperor has learned, and what aspects do you like to learn? ”

After Fu Guan's reminder, Yue Su decided to get closer to Zhu Ciyan.

"Teacher, the emperor has finished learning the four books and five classics, but for these, the emperor doesn't seem to like them very much, and he is even less interested in poetry and songs. It's just that...... I seem to like the silver dollars made by my teacher. The students had seen His Majesty use a knife to carve the silver dollars on the wooden blocks. Fu Guan said.

"Oh? His Majesty also likes to carve. ”

"But it's not, it's not like the first emperor, who forgot to sleep and eat on this matter, but for more than a year, it has often been like this. Moreover, he has a soft spot for those silver dollars. Fu Guan said truthfully.

"I have a soft spot for silver dollars...... Yue Su suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the earliest version of the silver dollar was printed, which was made with Zhu Ciyan's head as a template, and Zhu Ciyan was still very cooperative at that time, but after the result was engraved, it was rejected by the Queen Mother.

His Majesty is a child after all, he should be willing to use his own avatar as a mold for silver dollars, but his mother objected, but he did not dare to fight, he could only obey. Thinking of this, Yue Su couldn't help but secretly begged himself: "The emperor is not capable of doing what he wants now, and when he officially becomes pro-government, he will definitely fight for it." Like Emperor Sì, long live today, it seems that you have to start from now on, and you can't wait......"

"Yuanfu, before the Chinese New Year, the emperor's study is over." Yue Su said.

"Yes, Master."

"When do you start after the Chinese New Year?"

"It's been fifteen."

"Okay, the teacher knows, and the teacher will have his own disposal at that time. Anything else? ”

"Nothing else."

"That's good." Yue Su stood up as he spoke, and said, "It's dinner time now, I think you haven't eaten yet, so let's eat at my house." ”

"That'...... Thank you so much......"

The next day is the day of the sacrificial stove, such a big day, the whole country basically began to have a holiday, Mr. Wang also has to go home, these days, he has been conscientious, plus Yue Su is watching at home, Yue Sen is performing very well. The rules are decent, honest, and the ligatures are also written neatly.

In the following days, the big guys happily waited for the Cūn Festival, and as soon as the New Year arrived, the generals Kong Youde, Máo Youjian, and Zheng Zhilong all came to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to Yue Su, and even Wu Sinan, the governor of Xuanda, also came with his family.

Wu Sinan has a son who is one year younger than Yue Meng, and Wu Sinan wants to kiss Yue Suding, and Yue Su sees that the children are happy playing together, so he agrees. Kong Youde saw that Wu Sinan had successfully married, and he couldn't help but come up with an idea, wanting to marry his NV son Kong Sizhen to Yue Sen. Kong Sizhen is very well-behaved, I don't know how many times stronger than Yue Sen, although Yue Su said that his son was stubborn, but Kong Youde said vigorously that the son educated by Lord Yue must not be bad, how can the tiger father give birth to a dog, and he has to marry his son.

Yue Sen also liked Kong Sizhen, so he agreed to let these children cultivate feelings together, study together, and play together.

The days of the New Year generally pass very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the sixteenth day of the first month.

On the first day of work today, everyone arrived at the cabinet, and they had to greet each other and say some New Year's words. Although the ministers went to Yuesu Mansion as early as the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings, they were indispensable for politeness when they went to work. Han Yi is the only one who did not go to Yuesu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, he is old, he is old, and he is the first assistant, how can he lose his value and go to Yuesu Mansion. Of course, Yue Su would not go to his house. Therefore, I can only be polite today. …,

There was no official business on this day, it was basically a day of chattering, Lord Yue was not idle, as soon as he returned to his duty room, he sent someone to spread the Zhan Shi Mansion Zhan Shi Yang Jingchen, this guy was originally a Shao Zhan Shi, and now he has been promoted to Zhan Shi.

Lord Yue is invited, who must come immediately, Yang Jingchen came in a hurry, and after the salute, Yue Su asked him to sit down. Then, Yue Su spoke: "Lord Yang, today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I don't know if Your Majesty can start classes." ”

"Lord Huiyue's words, the class has already started, and today it will be Lord Xiao of Zuo Cūn Fang University who will give a lecture for His Majesty." Yang Jingchen didn't know what he meant, but he had to answer immediately.

"Oh." Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "It's good to start the class." Your Majesty is no longer a child, and in another three years, you will be able to pro-government, and the official thinks that it is time to explain the way of government to Your Majesty. ”

"What my lord said is that for the way of government, I plan to start classes this year, so that Your Majesty can slowly become familiar with government affairs." Yang Jingchen said.

"The way of government is very important, this official received the grace of the first emperor to entrust Gu, and added as a prince, so he should personally speak for the emperor. In this way, you go and arrange it, see what time it is, and the official will enter the palace to start a class for His Majesty. Yue Su said.

This is the way of government, which Yang Jingchen originally wanted to talk about for the emperor, but he didn't expect that Yue Su opened his mouth. Lord Yue's words, who dares to refute them, and what Yue Su said is also reasonable, he is a master, and it is too legitimate to teach the Son of Heaven a lesson. Also, who in this world dares to say that his political level is stronger than Yue Su. Yang Jingchen could only nod and said, "It's my lord, and the lower officials will arrange it." ”

"I'm looking for you for this, okay, you go down and get busy."

"Yes, sir."

Yang Jingchen resigned, but Yue Su had to inform the Queen Mother about giving lessons to the emperor, not that there was any other reason, mainly because no matter who gave lessons to the emperor, the Queen Mother needed to know.

He sent the news to the Queen Mother on the same day, and Zhang Yan learned that Yue Su planned to give a lesson to the emperor, and was suspicious at first, but then relieved. Yue Su is a prince, and the emperor is not a child now, and there is nothing wrong with Yue Su explaining the way of government to the emperor, so he nodded.

Yue Su's first class was set for the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and he was in the cabinet office in the morning, and he went to the imperial study in the afternoon. The monarch and the minister saluted first, and then sat down, this is a class, so the queen mother was not present, only the two monarchs and ministers. Zhu Ciyan faced Yue Su alone, and seemed a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, in three years, you will be in charge of government, so now is the time to familiarize yourself with government affairs. From today onwards, the minister will explain to you the way of government. Yue Su said in a gentle tone.

"It is best for Yue Qing to explain the way of government to me, I must remember it with my heart, and I hope that the Qing family will not be stingy." This is the official word, Zhu Ciyan has been educated by so many teachers, and so on, he will naturally say it.

"Please also rest assured that Your Majesty will do your best. Is Your Majesty ready now, if it is ready, then the minister will begin. ”

"I'm ready, please speak."

"The first lesson that the minister gave to His Majesty is called that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat. I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard of this allusion. ”

"I have heard that this article is from "Xunzi", the text says: Shuren is in power, and then the gentleman is in place. Gentleman, boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. Later Wei also said this when he admonished Taizong of the Tang Dynasty: The grievance is not big, but it is terrifying; It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. "Zhu Ciyun has received a good education since he was a child, and a large group of bachelors are around, and the level is of course much higher than that of his father.

"Your Majesty is really smart, and the ministers admire him so much. Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and the allusion is true. However, the truth is dead, and many people know this truth, but it is very difficult to actually do it. Today, the minister wants to tell a story to His Majesty, this story is the story of my Taizu Hongwu Emperor to create the Ming Dynasty, after the minister told this story, I hope the emperor can hear some truth from it. ”…,

"Okay, let's talk about it." Zhu Ciyan seemed to like listening to stories very much, and hurriedly urged Yue Su.

"This story starts from the fourth year of Yuan Zhizheng and the great drought in the world...... "Yue Su has a set of storytelling, and he relied on storytelling to win Zhu Youxiao's favor at the beginning. It can be said that the two things that the carpenter emperor likes to do with Yue Su the most, one is to do carpentry, and the other is to listen to stories.

Yue Su came today, he came prepared, he had already brewed this story at home several times, and he started thinking about it from the second day of the Lunar New Year, and studied it until the fifteenth, is it easy.

Therefore, the story is very jīng彩, from Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were starved to death, he became a monk, and until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there are a lot of abridged ones, and many of them are made up by him, just like Poyang Lake defeated Chen Youliang, so that Yue Su said that it was full of dangers, and he was a little divine. This made Zhu Ciyun fascinated by what he heard, not only did he forget the time, but when he heard the critical moment, he was even pinched by the ancestor to sweat.

After Yue Su finished the story, Zhu Ciyan immediately shouted loudly, Yue Su took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, from this story, you can hear some truth. What we are talking about today is that water can carry a boat and it can also capsize a boat, so we just need to say the truth about this. ”

Zhu Ciyan recalled for a long time and said: "The tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the Han Dynasty, the people are like water, under the command of Grandpa Taizu, set off a big làng and overturned him. Chen Youliang and his ilk are also heroes, but they are not kind to the people under their rule, although the army is strong, but Grandpa Taizu is the teacher of benevolence, and he has a lot of help, and when it is difficult, there are always heroes who are like-minded, so he can defeat Poyang Lake. Emperor Taizu created my Ming Dynasty, light conscription, tax reduction, so that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will naturally not be ungrateful, like water carrying me Ming. ”

"Your Majesty is really talented and intelligent, the minister only told a story, and His Majesty understood the truth, and he can also say the Tao, which makes Weichen admire." Yue Su said with satisfaction.

"It's still Mrs. Yue who teaches me well, and those teachers have never made me so attentive to my lectures. If every class was taught by Mrs. Yue, I would not have found it boring. This is a big truth, those bachelors, all day long, how can a child of Zhu Ciyan not be bored. Yue Su gave lectures, not only to clarify the truth, but also to give examples and tell them with stories.

"Since Your Majesty is willing to listen to Weichen's lectures, Weichen will often come to His Majesty in the future." Yue Su bowed and said.

"If so, that's great. I think the Qing family will come back tomorrow and tell me about it. Zhu Ciyan said excitedly.

"Wechen obeys."

After Yue Su left the imperial study, he immediately sent someone to tell Zhan Shifu who should give a lecture to the emperor tomorrow, so there is no need to go, the emperor has a decree, and the official will continue to speak to the emperor tomorrow.

Lord Yue's words are no different from the holy decree, how dare the officials of the Zhan Mansion disobey and not give lectures, it can be regarded as a matter of convenience, if the adults are willing to speak, then you can continue to speak.

It's not easy, Yue Su doesn't teach his son so much, Yue Sen's education, he has to invite Mr. to come, but he still has to teach other people's children. Tomorrow afternoon, he has to give a lesson to the emperor, how can Yue Su not prepare, go home and eat, and start preparing for the class. In order to arrange the story, Yue Sen was busy until the fourth watch, but fortunately, he didn't need to get up too early, and slept for an hour and a half.

In the morning, he worked in the cabinet, and in the afternoon, he went to the imperial study to give lessons to the emperor. Just like yesterday, as soon as Yue Su started the class, he first put forward a proposition, which was called - the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together.

As a traverser, why did Yue Su tell the emperor about this proposition, instead of directly talking about democracy and constitutional monarchy. The reason is actually very simple, it is far from time yet, you let the emperor engage in a constitutional monarchy now, don't care about anything, it's all up to the cabinet, Zhang Yan has to stand up first and fight with Yue Su. As for democracy, the people do not have this consciousness yet, and the county election has not yet been popularized, so they will immediately make drastic moves, and they will not be enemies of all the officials in the world, and it is estimated that even their own people can turn against the water. …,

These things have to be done gradually, and they cannot be done overnight.

After the proposition was proposed, Yue Su began to continue telling the story.

The story told is that Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the prime minister and Zhongshu Province, and Ming Chengzu established a cabinet, and during the time of Ming Shizong, the cabinet was sublimated. Among them, Yue Su wears many contents and stories, such as Hu Weiyong's rebellion, how thrilling; Ming Chengzu fought in the south and the north, and had no time to manage government affairs and set up a cabinet; Under the assistance of Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia and others, Ming Xiaozong founded Hongzhi Zhongxing. During the period of Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin was in power, and how did the scholar Yang Tinghe kill Liu Jin, and also made the court peaceful, although Wuzong liked to play, but the government did not delay in the slightest, Yang Tinghe and other cabinet ministers, bowed to the best of their ability, so that the world was ruled by Yiran; During the Sejong period, the status of the cabinet was greatly improved, and when he stood in front of the six ministries, don't look at the later period of Sejong, the country was still able to operate, and the Japanese were defeated, so that the leaders at home and abroad did not dare to face the Ming Dynasty; This is especially true during the Wanli period, the emperor rarely goes to court, but he is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. The last part is the story of Yue Su and the carpenter emperor, Yue Su is talking about foaming at the mouth, and the more he talks, the more jīng color is stacked.

This is a story that Yue Su has been thinking about all night, and he has been listening carefully for a whole afternoon, as if listening to a commentary, and he has not forgotten to applaud loudly. Although I went to sprinkle niào halfway, I also left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.

Yue Su finished telling the story, but he was also tired enough, and even drank a few sips of tea before saying: "Your Majesty, the story of the minister is finished, and it is the same as yesterday, please tell me the truth that the emperor and the scholar rule the world together." ”

Zhu Ciyan pondered for a while and said: "When Emperor Taizu, because of Hu Weiyong's work, he dismissed the prime minister and Zhongshu Province, and concentrated the power in one. When he became a grandfather, although he had the intention to emulate Grandpa Taizu, he was not as strong as Grandpa Taizu, so he set up a cabinet to manage the affairs of the world with the help of scholars. After all, a person's strength and ability are limited, if all government affairs are done by the emperor, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and there are more people to help, brainstorming to get things done. It's like Grandpa Xiaozong, who reused Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia and others to create the prosperous era of my Ming Dynasty. After that, Grandpa Wuzong, Grandpa Sejong, and Grandpa Shenzong all followed suit, even if they didn't have to go to the court, they could still govern the country well, which was the benefit of the emperor and the scholars to govern the world together. When it was time for my father, he reused Yue Qing, took charge of the government, punished the evil, enforced the law impartially, and eliminated the bandits. At present, the Qing family has successively exterminated the rogues and opened banks, making our Ming country rich and strong. ”

"Your Majesty. But what Weichen did was not as good as His Majesty said, and there was still a lot of gap compared to Yang Tinghe and others. The ministers are willing to do their best, try their best to serve the emperor, collect Liaodong and the territory, and rejuvenate my Ming Dynasty. Yue Su said sincerely.

"I believe Aiqing will be able to do it."

Junchen was polite for a while, and Yue Su got up to say goodbye, but at this time Zhu Ciyan said: "Qing family, you will give me a lecture tomorrow, and at noon, you will accompany me to eat." In the past, you always ate with your father, but now you continue to accompany me. By the way, tomorrow I want to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to study, I don't know what the Qing family wants? ”

"Your Majesty's will, Weichen dares to disobey his orders." Yue Su bowed and said.

"Okay, tomorrow at noon, the Qing family will go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to accompany me to dinner."

"Obey."

The two of them have only been together for two days, and they are not as strange as before. At this time, Yue Sen thought that Fu Guan's words were too correct, and he should have come to teach the emperor earlier, but fortunately, at this time, it was not too late. …,

Back then, Zhang Juzheng gave lectures to the emperor and was always strict with the emperor, which made Wanli very afraid of him and very depressed, so that after Zhang Juzheng's death, he took revenge. Yue Su went the opposite way, gave a lecture to the emperor, treated him leniently, and strictly abided by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, which made Zhu Ciyan very satisfied and very happy. The relationship between the monarch and the minister is naturally getting better and better.

Everyone knows that the person who is a teacher for the prince will inherit the first assistant in the future, like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. How could Yue Su let others grab the position.

Yue Su left the Forbidden City and returned home, just like yesterday, he began to get busy again, nervously preparing for class. At this time, in Cining Palace, Zhang Yan leaned on a chair and looked at the middle-aged eunuch standing opposite.

"Zhao Zhi, I heard that Lord Yue is still giving a lecture to the emperor today, I don't know what he is talking about?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, today Lord Yue told the emperor that the emperor and the scholars will rule the world together." Zhao Zhi replied cautiously.

He is the great eunuch who is responsible for serving the emperor, and although he is now in charge of the affairs of the Mint, most of the time, he still has to be by the emperor's side, which is also his jīng point. Don't look at the class, he doesn't wait in the imperial study, but he inevitably listens outside the mén for a while.

"These courtiers seem to be the same, all thinking about sharing ......power with the emperor," Zhang Yan said casually, but as soon as the words came out, she felt that she was a little speechless, and hurriedly changed her words, and said: "The bachelor next to him gives a class to the emperor, isn't it an hour to give a class, but I heard that Lord Yue is an afternoon when he talks." How is the emperor's performance? ”

"Lord Yue's lectures are different from other bachelors, mainly to tell stories to the emperor." Zhao Zhi said truthfully.

"In the past, when the first emperor was here, he always told stories to the first emperor, and the first emperor also liked to listen to his stories the most. What stories did he tell the emperor in the past two days? Zhang Yan asked.

"Yesterday's topic is that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, and the story is mainly about Emperor Taizu who went through a lot of hardships to create a great tomorrow. Today's story is about Emperor Taizu's deposition of the prime minister and Zhongshu Province, the establishment of a cabinet with Emperor Chengzu, and then how the emperors of previous dynasties governed the country with their cabinets. Zhao Zhi said.

"These two topics, and these two stories, are interesting to listen to, the story is just on topic, and it can also be listened to by the emperor, it seems that it is really difficult for Yue Su." A smile appeared on Zhang Yan's face, and she said, "What did the emperor say in the end?" By the way, does the emperor understand all the truths he said? ”

"The emperor understands all those truths, and they are all summed up by himself through the story of Lord Yue. Today, the emperor finally said that he would let Lord Yue continue to come to class tomorrow, and let Lord Yue accompany him to the Heart Cultivation Hall for lunch. "Zhao Zhi, this kid, has heard a lot of things, and it seems that he has been guarding the mouth of Mén all along.

"It seems that this Yue Su has some tricks...... Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Are there anything else?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, you go down first." Zhang Yan waved her hand.

"The slave and maid are gone." Zhao Zhi bowed and retreated.

When Zhao Zhi left, Zhang Yan's face smiled again. "Yue Su, you finally know now that you want to befriend the emperor, treat my son like you did with the first emperor. If you can do this, the mourning family will be relieved, proving that you have no second heart. Very good, if you had been like this earlier, the mourning family would have been relieved a long time ago. Yue Su, your merits, the mourning family and the emperor all know, you treat the royal family with sincerity, bow and serve, and the royal family will definitely reward you. Do it well, as long as you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, even if you are like Zhang Juzheng and control the government, the mourning family will not care. The emperor and the scholars rule the world together, which is very good, very good...... The mourning family also hopes that you, the scholars, can govern the Ming Dynasty well and assist my son Zhongxing Ming. ”

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth still looked up, and later generations said that Zhang Yan was a generation of yàn queens, and it really lived up to her reputation, and when she smiled, it was extremely moving.

"Someone......" Zhang Yan said suddenly.

"Slaves and maids are ......"

A palace NV hurriedly walked in.

"Spread the will of the mourning family, no...... Needless to say, it is the will of the mourning family, you go and tell the people below that if the emperor goes to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to play in the future, you don't have to stop it, you just need to serve well, that's it. ”

"The slave obeys."

It turned out that Zhang Yan had always taught her son strictly, and rarely allowed her son to play.
