A beautiful day began again, as a 2-year-old prince, Zhu Houwei said that life was very easy, and even felt bored. An adult man who is bound to find it boring if all he does at the end of the day is eat, sleep, and eat. I have plenty of time, but my brain can't be idle, I will think about my past life, and I feel that except for my wife, there is no one else to worry about. However, she is a strong person, and she can live well even without me. As for relatives and friends, it doesn't feel so good.

Let's take a look at this life. As a prince, you can definitely eat and dress warmly, and you don't need to buy a house or a car, your family will help you configure it, and your life is stress-free. I feel that a bright future can be expected. And now it's 1496, more than 100 years before the demise of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, I can't live for so long, I don't have to worry about walking dogs and feeding birds in the fiefdom, and the small days of molesting women from good families on the street will be suddenly interrupted by the rebels, and then end their lives in the form of a feast. In recent decades, except for the Shandong uprising more than a decade later, the country has been very stable.

The only thing to worry about is his own body, it seems that the genes are not very good, no wonder, his cheap father has a rough life, and it is already a fluke to survive.

Ming Xiaozong's father is Ming Xianzong, and Ming Xianzong is very fond of Wan Zhen'er, the imperial concubine of Gongsu, who is 17 years older than him, this woman is very jealous, and she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, but she didn't support it. The mother's wish to rely on the child's noble child was frustrated, and Wan Guifei was worried about old age and decay, and slandered the palace concubines everywhere, and all those who showed signs of pregnancy made them abortive, almost making Emperor Chenghua extinct, causing fear inside and outside the palace.

The children born by other concubines are not very good, Ming Xianzong is very distressed, one day the eunuch Zhang Min combed Xianzong's hair, seeing his white hair, Xianzong couldn't help but sigh: "The old man is coming, and he has no children." Zhang Min suddenly knelt down and said, "After the saint has already existed, he doesn't dare to show up." Xianzong knew that he had a child, and he was very happy, so he immediately wanted to see his child, and Ming Xiaozong's biological mother Ji dressed the child and told him: "Son, if you leave, I won't be able to live!" "The one who wears the yellow robe is his father. When Xianzong saw the child, he burst into tears, hugged the child and said, "It's my son, like me (it's my child, just like me)."

A few months later, Zhu Youzhu was established as the crown prince. However, Wan Guifei was deeply resentful. It is said that after Concubine Wan Guizong recognized her son, she cried day and night and said, "The minions dare to deceive me!" Then, Ji died. The cause of death is said to have hanged himself according to an old eunuch during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620). Although he recognized the prince, there were Wan Guifei who dominated the harem, so he was also alive and frightened, which led to Zhu Youzhang's body not being very good.

Zhu Houzhao did not inherit his father's body, but Zhu Houwei did. Due to poor health, a small cold that modern people think will kill you.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houwei decided to exercise well. But as a 2-year-old child, it is very difficult to exercise, say running, but even walking is not good, let alone horizontal bars, stone throwing locks or something, so what to do? As the old saying goes, "100 steps after a meal, you can live 99", it can be seen that walking also has an exercise effect on the body, and this way is also more suitable for his small body. So, there was the following scene, a 2-year-old child kept walking around at the door of the palace, followed by a little palace maid, sometimes he didn't want to be helped by others when he fell, he got up and continued to walk.

I found a way to exercise, but I can't keep up with nutrition. Coincidentally, there happened to be a palace maid who brought a bowl of deer milk to the queen, which was a tonic for dignitaries and nobles at that time, but Zhu Houwei stepped forward and stretched out his little hand to the palace maid, and in the queen's instructions, Zhu Houwei tasted natural dairy products that did not contain any preservatives, so his food was upgraded from millet porridge to deer milk.

The days passed like this, and Zhu Houwei's health was getting better and better, which reassured many people. Zhu Houwei seems to have slowly integrated into this era, because he faces some doting queens, loving emperors and naughty imperial brothers who are more naughty than him every day, he is not exclusive to these people. In this family, the titles are like ordinary people, not His Majesty, sons, father, mother or something played in the TV series, which makes him feel more comfortable in modern times. Zhu Houwei still didn't speak, but everyone was not worried, it was not for nothing that he spoke later than him.

Just 2 months later, the queen came with good news and became pregnant again, and Zhu Houwei, who had no children in his previous life, unconsciously felt excited, and in a few months, another small life will be born. Seeing the smile of this family, Zhu Houwei was also infected.

In 1497, in the 10th year of Hongzhi, under everyone's expectations, the queen successfully gave birth to a daughter, that is, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei's sister - Zhu Xiuning. In this year, Zhu Houwei finally integrated into this family, who can be ruthless. He also likes this new sister very much, and often runs to tease her. In the past year, Zhu Houwei's body has been as healthy as ordinary people, and he has grown up a lot. Now he can run, and he runs around the palace with his unreliable brother all day long, making the whole palace jump up and down.

This year is a very successful year for Daming, a very meaningful year,

According to the survey of the Ministry of Households, the population of the whole country has increased from more than 40 million in the Chenghua period to more than 60 million, which is inseparable from the policy formulated by Hongzhi that is related to the people's livelihood and lightly taxed.

Militarily, he also resolutely sent troops to recover Hami at his suggestion, and immediately appointed Ma Wen to be promoted to marshal, defeated the Turpan army, and recovered Hami. In 1488, Zhu Youzhu ordered Han to attack the king of Hami Zhongshun and "give the golden seal and crown clothes" to actually control Xinjiang. In the same year, the son of Yu Nusi, Ah Hei Ma, bowed to the city of Hami, lured Han Shenmeng, killed him, regained his city, and sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. The Ming Dynasty saw through its trick and had to return the Hami Gold Seal. In 1493, Aheima captured Hami again, and made him respect the Changyalan to protect Hami, and from time to time looted Shazhou and other places to threaten the guards to return to obedience, which was a trouble. In 1497, Ming Ma Wensheng went to pacify, and together with thousands of people from Hexi Zhuwei and various tribes, attacked Hami City, Yalan and others fled, and Hami recovered. Under the governance of Hongzhi for many years, the treasury was full, so he ordered the construction of water conservancy throughout the country, and the "Hongzhi Zhongxing" of the Ming Dynasty had basically taken shape.

Under the meticulous care of the queen, the three children also grew up strongly, and the time also reached the thirteenth year of Hongzhi. Today, Zhu Houwei is 6 years old. He also spoke when he was 4 years old, and his eldest brother had moved into the East Palace 2 years ago and started to study and go to school. It was Yang Tinghe who taught the prince to read, and this person was very powerful.

Yang Tinghe (October 15, 1459 - July 25, 1529), the name Jiefu, the name Shizhai, Han nationality, a native of Xindu, Sichuan. His son is also very famous, that is, Yang Shen, who is known as the prodigy of Shuzhong, and the song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" Linjiang Immortal at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by Yang Shen. Yang Ting is kind to the book, and the penmanship is neat. He has participated in the compilation and revision of "Ming Xianzong Records", "Ming Xiaozong Records", "Ming Wuzong Records", "Ming Huidian", and "Yang Wenzhong Gong Sanlu" handed down. It can be said that Hongji found a good teacher for the prince. As for Zhu Houwei, he also started to study with his brother this year, and today is the first day of school.

Early this morning, Zhu Houwei came to the East Palace with his attendants, and the prince lived out, and he still lived with his parents. first found his brother, "Brother, it's not early, let's go and wait for the teacher to come, I heard that Master Yang is very strict in class, brother, have you ever been beaten by Master Yang's ring ruler?" ”

"Can you not fight, a small fight in three days, a big fight in five days, my brother's life is hard," Zhu Houzhao said with a sad face.

Zhu Houwei asked again: "But you can't memorize the text?" Zhu Houzhao seems to be very indifferent, "The Four Books and Five Classics are very boring, and they are very sleepy to read, how can they still have the heart to memorize." ”

"Alas, I didn't expect me to live such a miserable life, I'm only 6 years old." Zhu Houwei was very emotional.

But this is obviously pretending to be tender, you say that you are a 40-year-old uncle and have the face to say 6 years old. "No way, I want to say that if I'm 40 years old, someone has to believe it, if I'm too mature, I'll be regarded as a genius, a demon or something, it's better to keep a low profile now." Zhu Houwei thought secretly.

Soon, the two brothers arrived in the East Palace, a special school, but unexpectedly, the teacher had already arrived. "Master Yang," Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei bowed together. Zhu Houwei raised his eyes and saw that this person was 6 feet long, about 1.85 meters, and a foot in the Ming Dynasty was almost 31.5 centimeters, but this is a carpentry ruler, and there are many other algorithms, in short, it is very messy. Around 40 years old, his eyes are narrow and long, his eyebrows are slightly prominent, his beard is about 20 centimeters, he knows that he usually takes care of it very well, he doesn't wear official clothes, his current official position is Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun, there is no expression on his face, very cool.

I only heard him ask slowly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you memorized the first part of "King Liang Hui" in the "Mencius" that you asked to recite yesterday?" Zhu Houzhao's expression immediately became embarrassed, "Hehe, I can probably recite it." This is Zhu Houzhao's answer. Let's start reciting," Mr. Yang still had a blank expression.

I didn't expect to memorize 2 sentences, and I couldn't take it, and 2 minutes later, Mr. Yang said a word "hand". Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houwei saw a scene that seemed to have been rehearsed for a long time, one stretched out his left hand, and the other pulled out a 30-centimeter-long iron ruler from his wide sleeve, and then there was a contest between the iron ruler and the meat palm, not much, just 5 rounds, and the result was not unexpected, Zhu Houzhao kept rubbing his left hand with his right hand, and his mouth made a hissing sound.

After the fight, Mr. Yang didn't look at him, and turned his head to look at Zhu Houwei. Zhu Houwei had no experience in dealing with officials in his previous life, and Hongzhi and the queen were both kind and kind-hearted, and they were suddenly looked at by this majestic look, and subconsciously took a step back, at this time, the corners of the teacher's mouth rose slightly, but the amplitude was too small, but no one noticed it.

"Literate?"

"I've taught myself a bit, but I still don't know everything."

"Today, I will first teach the prince the second part of "King Liang Hui", and then His Royal Highness will follow me to learn the "Three Character Classic".

"Yes."

"Come in with me"

The day's learning begins. Zhu Houwei started his study career with the prince, but there are also benefits, first, the teacher's main firepower will be exported to the prince, he is not so stressed, second, after all, it is a person who has gone through 9 years of compulsory education and 7 years of university master's study, although it is difficult to write traditional Chinese, it is still no problem to understand, and the subject of study is also an entry-level article like "Three Character Classic", so this life can still be lived.

At the end of the day, it was time to report back to my mother. When the two arrived at the queen's palace, they talked to the queen who was holding her sister, although Zhu Houzhao still had a trace of indelible sorrow in his heart - I haven't memorized the last part yet, and I will arrange the next part today, what should I do! Then I had dinner with His Majesty who came over, and then the day's schedule was basically over, and it was a good day full of feudal harmony, of course, some details can be ignored, hehe.
