723 Wu family

Zhu Cihong drank tea again at Wu Fu's house, during which Zhu Heqi went out to the toilet, and there was no one in a blink of an eye. The housekeeper of the Wu family had no choice but to come in and return to the court, saying that the young master and the young masters in the house were having a great time. Zhu Cihong naturally didn't care about him, and asked Zhu Heyuan if he wanted to go out to play together, but the six-year-old Zhu Heyuan just shook his head and continued to concentrate on tasting the dim sum of Wu's mansion.

Zhu Cihong chatted with Wu Fu about some miscellaneous matters, and when he saw that the sky in the first month had darkened, he got up to say goodbye. Of course, Wu Fu didn't dare to keep it, and asked to open the middle door, but found that he couldn't find His Royal Highness the second son. This made Wu Fu anxious, and mobilized the whole family to look for it, only to find Zhu Heqi in the rockery of the back house - he and the little grandson of the Wu family were playing Tibetan cats.

"You are Raipi! So many people looking for me one! Zhu Heqi was greatly dissatisfied.

"Your dad is going to take you home!" Zhu Cihong straightened his face, reluctantly stepped forward and took Zhu Heqi's hand, and pulled him out half-dragging and half-dragging.

Wu Fu looked at the emperor while pulling the second son, and the third child on the other side was just holding a small pastry and licking it, and secretly said to himself: The emperor's family is also in trouble.

Thinking of the fact that the crown prince has grown up now, he is quite close to those real "Confucian ministers", and even the officials of the East Palace are quite arrogant, and Wu Fu has a faint headache.

- Fortunately, I don't have to worry too much about my family affairs.

Wu Fu thought this in his heart, but in fact, he was also comforting himself.

As the ruler of a country, Wu Fu not only has to go all out to deal with national affairs and balance the turbulence in the court, but also inevitably bother with the future development of the family. He doesn't think much about it. It's just that it's not like the emperor's majesty who even has to take care of the child's homework in person.

When the emperor was completely gone, Wu Fu summoned his three sons to the study and sat on the Taishi chair by himself. Seeing the three sons standing with their hands down, they didn't dare to lift their eyes or pant for breath, but they were all good children, but they lacked a piece of spirituality. He said leisurely, "Do you know who this gentleman is who he is today?" ”

The sons ate with them, but no one dared to speak without their father's permission. During the banquet, Zhu Cihong and Wu Fu only talked about Fengyue. Basically nothing more. These three people had the courage to guess, that is, the prince, the prince and the like. Because if it was the nephew of the minister of the DPRK and China, they must have seen it.

"He's the present." Wu Fu sighed. Announce the answer in a deep voice.

This is indeed disappointing. The eldest son is already in his thirties, and the youngest son is also about to stand, but the art of watching people and qi is so unbearable. If you want to come to the country for 300 years, it is difficult for the house to come out of the house. Is it because of public spirit? It's really unbearable for the dogs at home. Only students can be promoted, and the master and apprentice can become father and son.

The sons of the Wu family were shocked when they heard this. It turns out that the Son of Heaven can travel without guards and without carriages and horses! In addition to being stunned, they were all quite happy, judging from the atmosphere of the banquet, the father was really a saint, worthy of the rumor "King Wen meets Ziya" outside.

"I ask you to study weekdays, but you always refuse." Wu Fu was a little distressed.

The three sons were puzzled. Why did my father say this suddenly? Although I didn't get into high school, it was because of luck. What's more, now the court and the central government are not important jinshi, but more important to use people from new academic backgrounds.

What father in the world doesn't want his son to be a supreme minister, such as the family of the two Han Dynasty lords, who will rest with the country for generations?

It's really too different from each other's qualifications.

As the last civil leader of the Chongzhen Dynasty who can lead the masses and is not afraid of party disputes and confronts the first assistant, does Wu Fu rely on his own moral cultivation?

Of course not.

Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a kind of officialdom knowledge, vertical and horizontal, watching people's morale, and conspiring to advance and retreat. This knowledge is difficult to teach by master and apprentice, not passed on from father to son, and purely depends on personal understanding. It wasn't until the late Qing Dynasty that the world was turbulent, and someone leaked it, the so-called "Emperor's Art", and then there was the knowledge of thick black science.

Wu Fu attaches great importance to his sons' reading of "Zuo Chuan", "Warring States", and "University", which is to lead his sons in this direction, but unfortunately his sons are all middle-aged, and no one can understand them. How can this not disappoint Wu Fu?

"Current affairs are different!" Wu Fu had already reined in his feelings in an instant, and said: "Father Er's father is not a talent in the world, and it is really because of the saint's family. Once the Holy Family is no longer there, or your father is gone, how can you stand on your own? ”

As Zaifu, Wu Fu was well aware of the emperor's policy of governing the country.

If the Qin Emperor is the world, then the Han Emperor is the world with his relatives. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were gate valves, and there were only filial sons and few loyal ministers in the world. Even in the two Song Dynasty, scholars participated in politics, so Wen Yanbo dared to say "rule the world with scholars" - in fact, more than 80 years before Wen Yanbo, Zhang Yong, one of the three ministers in the early Song Dynasty, mentioned it. Fan Zhongyan, a contemporary of Wen Yanbo, also expressed his support many times, and it almost became a public opinion.

The so-called sun and moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty, and also inherited the Song system, so who did the Ming Dynasty emperor rule the world with?

Zhu Yuanzhang is hoping for the world. The princes were sealed, so that the vassal kings were in the military and civil affairs; remove the prime minister, so that the ministers have no rulers; The great prison is raised, so that the heroes dare not shake the master. As a result, Emperor Jianwen cut down the feudal domain and triggered the Battle of Fengtianjing.

Of course, Chengzu didn't want to see another rebellion of the Seven Kings, let alone see other clans and feudal "appeasements", so he set up a cabinet, emphasized counties and counties, and cut down the vassal kings, and had to embark on the old road of the Song Dynasty. Since becoming an ancestor, the ministers have gone higher and higher, and reached the peak of the Jiajing Wanli Dynasty, so it can be said that the emperor and the scholars share the world.

However, since the national change, the emperor no longer trusts the scholar class. He promoted culture and education, and there was no class in teaching, which seemed to be the way of the Zhongni sage, but in fact he was cultivating a new "co-ruler". Judging from the content of the teachings, these "co-rulers" are destined to only assume a part of the social functions, and can never become "scholars".

Who is a doctor? It is to take the world as its own responsibility, worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joys of the world after the world. A professional who has only received professional education in a certain field, and only follows the established strategies and procedures from study to work, is bound to be able to only undertake "small tasks", and it is impossible to take into account the overall situation and take into account the "responsibilities of the world".

It can be seen from the current curriculum of the new school that only a few excerpts of the Four Books and Five Classics have been made, while the study of the sons has quietly emerged. In the next 100 years, where will the scholars and doctors in the world come from? There are only pieces of "bricks and wood" that are satisfied with their position.

In this environment, Wu Fu saw that his three sons were not qualified to become "bricks and woods" at all. They all feel that Jinshi is useless now, but it is the elite of Chinese studies selected by the state from hundreds of millions of people, and it is also a good "brick" to write and copy in the Hanlin Academy. The three sons of the Wu family can't even pass the Jinshi exam, and they are not interested in learning new studies, what should they do?

The three Wu brothers were also a little confused when their father asked them this, but they had no sense of urgency. They have been abandoned by this era, but the sons have embarked on the road of new learning, and with the shadow of their fathers and ancestors, they will inevitably be much stronger than others, and the Wu family will still not be ruined.

This can indeed be considered before the national change, because Wu Fu at that time would definitely cultivate a group of his own protégé disciples. These protégés are like father and son with Wu Fu, and they are really a family with the Wu family, and they will definitely take care of the descendants of the Wu family. However, the current situation is that Wu Xuan does not dare to cultivate students at all, and cautiously takes a fancy to a Wang Xuan, and he is also secretly helping in secret.

The officialdom is changing, and if Wang Xuan turns against him in the future, no one will blame him in any way - because no one knows that he was cultivated by Wu Xuan.

This is the new era!

Seeing that his sons were like this, Wu Fu sighed again, and said: "I will be a father in a few years, and I have already selected Cai Maode, and most of them will not keep me." None of you can turn around in the court......"

"Father, although it is difficult for us to enter the cabinet, it is always okay to be a petty official." The eldest son couldn't help but speak.

According to custom, the son of Zaifu Butang can be conferred the title of Shang Bao Sicheng, who is located in the sixth rank, that is, the official who is responsible for stamping the documents.

In fact, the national treasure seal was handed over to the female official to be in charge, and it was the celebrant who sealed the decree, and it was Shang Baojian who handed it over halfway, and Shang Baosi must also accept the supervision of the eunuch when it was sealed...... Later, the eunuch directly skipped Shang Baosi, and this official position became a place dedicated to raising meritorious children.

Seeing his son interjecting, Wu Fu slapped on the armrest of the seat with a snap, and said, "Be a petty official?" If you know why Your Majesty is here today, the old man will ask for an official for you with a shy old face! ”

The son of the Wu family wilted instantly, and muttered in his heart: Isn't it just that the emperor is bored in the palace? What else could there be?

Wu Fu couldn't help sighing, softened down and said, "My father is quite indulgent to your brothers. ”

In this era, Wu Fu is indeed very doting on children. According to the habits of other scholars, the son has no chance to breathe at home, and he should do well, and if he does not do well, he will be served with a bamboo whip. They believed that only in this way could they educate good sons who were both loyal and filial.

"So much so that you can't become great talents." Wu Fu laughed at himself: "But in this world, there is no need for great talents, only diligent ministers are needed to obey the public and discipline." ”

This is the only one among the elders who can take on the important task of educating the new generation of cabinet assistants. Otherwise, Sun Chuanting is good at the military array, Jiang Dejing governs the river and the people, Zhou Yingzhi communicates, Yuan Jixian discerns current affairs, and his talents are all above Cai Maode.

"In order for the Wu family not to decay in the future, I simply made an arrangement today." Wu Fu said: "After you have heard it, you must do it quietly, and you must not leak half a sentence to the outside world!" ”

The three sons suddenly felt their scalps tingle, and they always felt a little like announcing their wills.

The eldest son was about to persuade again, but his father raised his hand to stop him, and said: "My father can still be in power for three or four years, Yu Yin can still have two or three years, and Yangshou will always have more than ten years. It is related to the fortune of the Wu family, and you must not ignore it. (To be continued......)
