Chapter 25 Grand Ideals

Walking into the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was burying his head in the recital, Zhang Yanling just wanted to speak, and an old eunuch standing behind Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly shook his head at Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling understood, so he didn't speak, and after looking around, he randomly found a chair in the corner and sat down.

And when Zhang Yanling was looking for a seat, the eunuch behind Emperor Hongzhi always frowned, the reason was that Zhang Yanling's attitude was too casual, and others, even if they were first-class ministers, had to stand respectfully below and wait at this time.

However, thinking of Zhang Yanling's identity, the old eunuch sighed a little helplessly, of course, it was not that he was afraid of Zhang Yanling's identity, but that he really didn't have anything to do with Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling is a relative, and relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, but the corresponding emperor will also compensate them, and a reprimand for a general minor crime is already the biggest punishment, and as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, the identity of a relative is enough to protect Zhang Yanling's life, so there is really no need to worry about Zhang Yanling! Pay for one's whistle.

I don't know how long it took, just when Zhang Yanling was really impatient, Emperor Hongzhi finally raised his head, and then the eunuch behind Emperor Hongzhi approached and whispered a few words.

"Trillium has arrived." Emperor Hongzhi turned his head to look at Zhang Yanling and said.

"I wonder why my brother-in-law called me?" Zhang Yanling got up in a hurry and lowered his hand and said.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it, I just want to ask how Yanling is doing with her studies recently?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yanling with a smile and said.

Zhang Yanling was stunned for a moment, didn't he ask about yesterday? However, although Emperor Hongzhi's question was somewhat unexpected, Zhang Yanling reacted quickly.

"Jianchangbo Mansion is newly built, so I have been a little busy these days, and my studies have been a little slack, which is really ashamed." Zhang Yanling said with a look of shame.

"Huh! ......" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yanling with a look of shame and was speechless, saying that I don't know what you are doing at home these days! I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and now I dare to say that you are busy, it's a joke.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi's cultivation is still very high, so he didn't say anything.

"Since there is a reason for it, forget it, but in the future, Trillium must not slack off, well, or I will find a teacher for Trillium." Emperor Hongzhi suggested very kindly, well, the purpose of calling Zhang Yanling to come to him this time is indeed this, and even he has been selected.

"You don't need that." Zhang Yanling said without hesitation that it was impossible to go to school when he went to school, and it was impossible in this life.

"Trillium is not right to say that, a good teacher is very important." Hongji shook his head, as if he really wanted to find a teacher for Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling was a little anxious in his heart, there was no way if Emperor Hongzhi really assigned him a teacher, then he would have to go to school! Otherwise, it is a disobedience.

However, with the nine-year compulsory education of later generations, plus high school and college, he almost went to school for sixteen years! That's six years more than a ten-year cold window! Zhang Yanling is not a nerd, how can he want to go to school again!

And he now has a good background, and he enjoys endless glory and wealth, and letting Zhang Yanling study again will kill him! What's more, I still learned the Four Books and Five Classics, and I felt a headache just thinking about it.

The idea of this cheap brother-in-law must be dismissed, and it is still an excuse that can make people speechless. Zhang Yanling's brain began to run at a high speed, and excuses kept flooding into his heart.

At this moment, Zhang Yanling felt that his spirit had been sublimated, and a perfect idea was gradually formed.

"I don't know what's the use of me studying." After organizing the language, Zhang Yanling looked at Emperor Hongzhi and asked.

"Of course it's useful, reading can cultivate one's self-cultivation, learn etiquette and cultivate morality, why does Trillium have the idea that reading is useless." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yanling with some displeasure and said.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything about studying to participate in the imperial examination or anything like that, after all, the imperial examination is to select talents to be officials, but Zhang Yanling doesn't need to be like this, and there are relatives who are not allowed to interfere in politics, so Hongzhi didn't say anything about the righteousness of the country and the people.

Well, in fact, thinking about it like this, Emperor Hongzhi found that it seemed to be of little use for Zhang Yanling to study, of course, he just had this idea in his heart, and it was impossible to say it.

"Then I don't know what the use is with the country and the people." Zhang Yanling continued to ask.

"This ......" Hongji is a little speechless, of course there is a use, after all, the time is spent on reading, so there is no time to cause trouble, but it's not easy to say it!

"Although Trillium is young, he also wants to do something great for the benefit of the country and the people, if reading can achieve this goal, Trillium naturally does not dare to refuse, but obviously reading has no way to make Trillium achieve what he wants!" Zhang Yanling said with a sad and pitiful look.

"......" Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yanling's sincere expression and was a little speechless, saying that if you don't want to study, you don't want to study, what are you doing with all this righteousness!

Relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, and this provision largely avoids the dictatorship of relatives, and then produces other ideas, ensuring the stability of the country, so although Zhang Yanling has such lofty ideals, he cannot let Zhang Yanling participate in political affairs.

"Trillium is not talented, since reading can't achieve the goal of Trillium, then Trillium wants to find another way, after Trillium's hard thinking and meditation, finally found a broad road, that is, Gewu." Zhang Yanling said categorically.

"Oh, I wonder what Trillium wants?" Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yanling a little seriously and asked, he was also a little curious about what Zhang Yanling wanted to do.

"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation." Zhang Yanling replied very simply.

"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation? I don't know what to do about Trillium? Hongji was a little interested.

"This one! Although I have some plans for the four aspects of 'clothing, food, housing and transportation', I don't have a specific direction yet, but I have an idea for 'line'. Zhang Yanling said seriously.

"Oh, yes! Can you talk more about Trillium? Hongzhi asked with great interest, of course, there was also a temptation to see if Zhang Yanling was lying.

"Absolutely." Zhang Yanling nodded and pondered for a while, "Now people's main ways of travel are just walking, horseback riding, car, and sedan chair, but things like horseback riding, car, and sedan chair are all things that can only be done by wealthy people, and most ordinary people rely on walking."

People walk slowly and often spend a lot of time trying to get to somewhere...... So I'm going to develop a tool that will help ordinary people get around, and I've got a general idea......"
