Chapter 10: A Long History

Zhengde said: "I originally wanted to give you a knighthood, but the fame is free to take immediately, I am now giving you a knighthood, I am afraid that I will not be able to obey the mouth of the world." Today's surname is given. May you keep up your good work and have a knighthood one day in the future. ”

Jiang Bin, no, Zhu Bin was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Since then, Zhu Bin has been the surname of the country, although this is a benefit, it is also an honor. But in the end, it is not as good as a knighthood. You must know that the title of Ming Dynasty is hereditary. Only after he is knighted, his children and grandchildren will enjoy endless benefits.

Zhu Bin suddenly had a thought in his heart: "Military merit, military merit? Where are the military merits? "He couldn't wait to fight.

Zhengde was frightened by the tiger, and he didn't have the temperament to play, he suddenly remembered the beauty of the harem, and was about to go back, when he suddenly remembered something and called Zhu Houhuang over.

When the tiger was about to pounce just now, it was Zhu Houhuang who discovered it first, and it was he who immediately pulled away Zhengde.

Zhengde felt that he was a little closer to Zhu Houhuang, and Zhengde was still a little hesitant about this matter. But now it's decided.

Zhengde asked, "Brother Huang, what book do you read?" ”

Zhu Houhuang was a little embarrassed, and he had to say that the cultivation of people's worldview is very important. For example, Zhu Houhuang. He's not unintelligent. But he really couldn't read the Four Books and the Five Classics.

It's not that he can't read, it's not that he doesn't understand. It's his worldview, his values, that have been formed. I can't understand what it means to preserve heavenly principles and destroy people's desires, and what it means to call the minister to death, and the minister has to die.

The more I read, the more annoyed I became.

He was secretly glad too. Fortunately, I was not reborn as a reader. He really doesn't know how to be the best of the best in this awkward thought. You can also hit three yuan.

He stammered, "My brother is stupid, and he hasn't read a book seriously, but he has just read some miscellaneous books." ”

Zhengde was not a good student either, so he didn't think about it and said, "What are you stupid? Don't I know you yet? I've been a prodigy since I was a child, it's just that the imperial aunt doesn't want you to learn from this aspect, it doesn't matter, but now the thing is the world of readers, and it's better to read the Four Books and Five Classics. I arranged for a person who is particularly good at reading to do the long history of King Yong. When you have time, ask someone for advice. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but think in his heart, what is this person?

The rest of the time, Zhu Houhuang told Zhengde about the training, but Zhengde didn't know if he didn't take Zhu Houhuang's training to heart. Anyway, it's noncommittal.

Because there was a big bug. The folds inside and outside the court and the opposition seemed to fly and smashed into the palace.

Zhengde is very skilled in handling, and all such twists and turns are left in the middle. However, Zhengde saw that the crowd was excited, and he also knew that he couldn't do too much. So I honestly stayed in the leopard room for a few days. I don't perform martial arts on the school grounds, I don't go out of the city to hunt, and I don't play other novelties.

Zhengde has reined in the past few days, and he will not let Zhu Houhuang come to the leopard room, in Zhengde's original words: "Let the prince of Yongwang play by himself, I have been very unlucky recently." ”

However, Zhu Houhuang is also facing a major exam in his life.

The examiner is Yang Shen.

Yang Shen was sitting on the front side, Zhu Houhuang was sitting at the bottom, Yang Shen picked up the tea bowl and said, "What books does the prince usually read?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Read more history books. ”

Yang Shen smiled lightly and said, "I don't know the prince, which dynasty is most admired?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Han, especially the former Han. The former Han Mingjun has the most, and the virtuous appearance is also the most, which makes people yearn for it. ”

Yang Shen asked, "I don't know which emperor of the former Han Dynasty is most admired by the prince?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty." ”

Yang Shen asked curiously, "Oh, why?" ”

"The Han family has its own system, which is originally a tyrant, but it is purely moral and moral, and Zhou Zhenghu is used." Zhu Houhuang blurted out.

Without him, this sentence is so famous.

One sentence summarizes the difference between the Han Dynasty and all the later dynasties, and even why Zhu Houhuang likes the Western Han Dynasty is because of this, because in his opinion, the Western Han Dynasty has a great difference from the later dynasties, that is, every emperor of the Western Han Dynasty is adjusting his own statecraft.

The national policy of the Western Han Dynasty is also changing all the time. Every emperor had his own set.

And the later generations have never succeeded in changing the law.

And Zhu Houhuang has always used this sentence as a general outline when reading Chinese books.

Read the Han family's own system, and read the Han family's overlord and miscellaneous. In order to contrast with the pure morality of later generations.

However, Zhu Houhuang said this sentence and immediately regretted it.

This sentence is highly evaluated among later generations of netizens. But before, the evaluation was not high, without him, most of the time in ancient times, Confucianism controlled the power of public opinion, can this sentence be good?

Zhu Houhuang said this in front of Yang Shen and a Confucian scholar. Can you get it?

Zhu Houhuang smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the topic. asked: "Master Yang, I heard earlier that there are envoys from the Buddha Lang Ji to the court, do you know if that?" ”

Of course, Yang Shen could see Zhu Houhuang's gaffe, but he didn't take it seriously?

In the Ming Dynasty, there were academically open people. Even in the world, there is Wang Yangming's mind. The Zhengde period is a key node in the transformation of academic and folk customs.

Yang Shen saw and heard not too few deviant words.

It's just that Yang Shen silently gave Zhu Houhuang a × in his heart. Because he didn't come to chat with Zhu Houhuang, if Zhu Houhuang, as a scholar, talked to Yang Shen, then he could say anything. But Yang Shen came to inspect whether Zhu Houhuang could be the prince of the country.

Just this sentence made Zhu Houhuang lose a lot of points.

Yang Shen is not because Zhu Houhuang doesn't like science and education. And hate him. As far as Yang Shen himself is concerned, he is not a simple moral gentleman. But as an emperor, if you oppose Reason, it will be a huge political storm.

It is a great harm to the stability of the country.

Adhering to the attitude of being responsible for the country, Yang Shen did not want to put a person who did not like Confucian ministers in the position of the prince.

He changed the topic according to Zhu Houhuang's words and said, "That's the case. The envoy of the Buddha came ashore in Guangdong, and came to Beijing a few days ago, and at this moment he was looking for a way to meet His Majesty. ”

Zhu Houhuang really raised his interest and said: "I want to meet the envoy of the Buddha Langji, can Master Yang arrange one or two?" ”

Yang Shen said: "Shizi, forgive the minister, the prince's identity is embarrassing, and meeting foreign envoys in private is harmful to the prince. ”

Zhu Houhuang is really interested in this. No matter how glorious ancient China is, we have to admit that the West has made great progress in modern times.

No one can deny this.

From the moment Zhu Houhuang came to Beijing, he was thinking about one thing in every way, he wanted to promote exchanges between the East and the West.

He wants to change the world.

Some people say that the development of productive forces is the greatest benevolent government. Zhu Houhuang also thinks so.

If he could, he hoped that the seeds of science would sprout in the East, because China, ancient China, had never lacked accumulation, and all that was needed was scientific thinking.

No matter what others think, but Zhu Houhuang thinks so.

Therefore, although I don't know what the result will be when I meet with the envoy of the Franco, this matter itself is regarded by Zhu Houhuang as an extremely important thing.

was politely rejected by Yang Shen. Zhu Houhuang was not discouraged. He rolled his eyes and said, "Yang Changshi, do you know the origin of the Franc Kingdom of the Franc Kingdom?" ”

Yang Shen couldn't help but say strangely: "The country of the Buddha Lang is just a small country near the original Manchu Jia country, and it has recently destroyed the Manchu Jia country to pay tribute, but because the Manchu Jia country is a vassal of this dynasty, the Ministry of Rites decided to hang the Fran machine country for a few years." Let them know the majesty of this dynasty. ”

Zhu Houhuang was a little speechless.

No wonder.

Later generations believed that the destruction of the Manchurian kingdom by Portugal was the beginning of modern East Asian history. The attitude of the Ming Dynasty in the face of the destruction of the Manchurian and Canadian kingdoms and the attitude of not caring at all is incomprehensible.

But at this moment, Zhu Houhuang understood.

It turned out that in the eyes of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the destruction of the Manchurian and Canadian kingdoms was basically a dog-eat-dog between the natives of Nanyang, which was not worth paying attention to. If you have kung fu, you might as well think about it, how to restrain the fun-loving Emperor Zhengde, and let the Zhengde Emperor obediently go to the Forbidden City as an archway.

This was the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty at that time, not the Buddha Lang machine that came out of nowhere.
