Chapter 14: Eavesdropping on the Crown Prince in the Corner
In the next few days, Zhu Chen did not go hunting, but stayed at home and devoted himself to studying.
The rewards of the system are really powerful.
With the memory of a full set of general history of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with a keen political vision, even if Zhu Chen turns over the four books and five classics, it is still in a clear context.
When a normal person sees the Four Books and Five Classics, he should know nothing, but Zhu Chen has the blessing of the system, and looking at this thing is like reviewing the knowledge he has learned before, and the progress is fast.
Moreover, Zhu Chen has a lot of drill strength and perseverance!
Once he decided to take a scientific expedition, Zhu Chen devoted himself to it, fascinated, and sometimes even finished reading a book, looked up, only to find that it was already dark, and he had not eaten lunch.
This spirit also greatly improved Zhu Chen's knowledge.
However, the old man has not been here in the past few days, although Zhu Chen feels empty in his heart, but he also knows that the old man may have been very busy recently.
has been with the old man for so long, and no one has ever cared about Zhu Chen, so the appearance of the old man is the only warmth in the darkness for Zhu Chen, an orphan.
During this time, I have relied on him a little.
I shouldn't have too much to expect from my relatives.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Chen continued to bury his head in reading.
……
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
On this day, Zhu Chenwo was studying at home, but two special guests came to the outside of the small courtyard.
From the ordinary carriage, two people walked down, one of them was fat, and looked like a ball of meat, and his eyes were narrowed and there was only a slit.
At a glance, the prince's face is a good man, but Yang Shiqi beside him knows that the prince's wisdom and foolishness are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface.
At the beginning, the emperor raised troops to Jingjing, Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 to storm Beiping, when the prince took 10,000 people to hold the city, 500,000 horses, but could not attack.
After helping the prince get out of the car, Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait, he looked at the courtyards around and asked, "Lord Yang, which courtyard does my son live in?" ”
Yang Shiqi smiled and pointed to the courtyard in front of him: "Prince, this is there." ”
"Okay, let's go." Zhu Gaochi glanced at it, nodded, and walked towards the small courtyard with Yang Shiqi.
Today, the prince had nothing to do, so he missed his son, and in the end, he couldn't suppress his longing, so he asked Yang Shiqi to bring him here.
"When you go in, don't say I'm the prince, just say I'm your friend." The prince had some hesitation on his face and instructed.
Yang Shiqi smiled: "Don't worry, the prince. ”
After speaking, Yang Shiqi stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, but the prince stood aside and waited nervously.
For some reason, the prince's hands, which were full of fat at the moment, began to tremble.
Obviously he was about to see his son, but Zhu Gaochi flinched, because he hadn't figured out how to face his son.
"Wait, Lord Yang!" Zhu Gaochi suddenly shouted again.
Yang Shiqi, who was about to knock on the door, looked at Zhu Gaochi suspiciously: "Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhu Gaochi sighed, his expression was a little stunned: "Hey, I don't know how to face my son, Lord Yang, forget it, I won't go in, you go in, I'll listen to it at the door." ”
"Prince, why are you doing this?" Yang Shiqi couldn't cry or laugh.
At first, he urged him to come quickly, but when he really got here, the prince was instigated.
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said with emotion: "Okay, don't talk about me, knock on the door." ”
The dignified prince of the first generation, but he planned to eavesdrop in the corner, Yang Shiqi smiled helplessly, so he had to continue knocking on the door.
"Knock knock."
Soon, the courtyard door was opened.
Zhu Chen looked at the old man standing in front of the door, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Old man, is it you?" ”
Isn't this the bookstore manager last time?
Yang Shiqi smiled gently: "It turns out that Xiaoyou still remembers me, in that case, can you invite me in for a cup of tea?" ”
"Yes, old man, please come in." Zhu Chen said with a smile.
It's just a cup of tea, and Zhu Chen is not stingy, but he is curious about what Yang Shiqi's purpose is.
He invited Yang Shiqi into the small courtyard, and then took a pot of hot tea and poured tea for Yang Shiqi.
The prince did not dare to come in, so he hid outside the wall, bent his waist, and secretly attached his ears to the wall, and put it up to eavesdrop.
His fat body, making this move, really embarrassed him.
The dignified prince of a generation actually eavesdropped in the corner, which no one could have imagined.
Zhu Chen sat opposite Yang Shiqi and looked at Yang Shiqi with a smile: "Old man, come to me today, is there something wrong?" ”
Yang Shiqi looked at the Four Books and Five Classics on a table, as well as the books stacked in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel moved: "Have you been reading books these days?" ”
These books are far more than the books he gave to Zhu Chen last time, and after reading so many books at once, Yang Shiqi was very pleased to read them, which means that the grandson is working hard.
"Back to the old man, there will be two months before the hospital exam, and the kid doesn't dare to slack off." Zhu Chen said with a smile.
Yang Shiqi bowed his head, looked at the books in the courtyard, and suddenly had the idea of testing Zhu Chen, and just let the prince listen outside to see what Zhu Chen's heart was.
With such thoughts, Yang Shiqi said: "How about I test you?" ”
When Zhu Chen heard this, he immediately became solemn, stood up and arched his hand: "Please also ask the old gentleman to give advice." ”
This serious attitude alone made Yang Shiqi's eyes light up slightly, and he smiled and said, "What is benevolence?" ”
The courtyard was intrinsically effective, and the prince outside the courtyard smiled dumbly: "What is benevolence?" This is a difficult problem, I answered it nine times back then, and the old monks said that I didn't answer well. ”
The old monk is naturally Yao Guangxiao.
For decades, Zhu Gaochi has been acting with benevolence, but even he is sometimes confused, what is the so-called benevolence?
Zhu Gaochi has read poetry and books and has been in charge of the country for ten years, but he can't answer this question exquisitely, let alone Zhu Chen.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi didn't look forward to much, as long as Zhu Chen answered about the same.
Zhu Chen thought for a while, and immediately said: "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, is for benevolence!" ”
This is Zhu Chen's own understanding.
However, as soon as these words came out, Yang Shiqi, who was sitting opposite, was directly stunned.
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Shiqi's heart was shocked by turbulent waves, this is Zhu Chen's state of mind?
The worries of the world are worried, this is what Fan Zhongyan of the Song family said, but Yang Shiqi never thought that Ren could take advantage of this as Ren's answer.
However, this seems to be the best and most wonderful answer Yang Shiqi has ever heard.
Only benevolent and righteous people will worry about the worries of the world first.
Not only Yang Shiqi, but also the prince who eavesdropped was stunned.
"The worries of the world are worried, this is benevolence?" Zhu Gaochi muttered.
After a while, he seemed to have understood, and couldn't help but smile: "This stinky boy, but he can really come up with such an answer." ”
"Okay, the stinky boy is not crooked, he is worthy of the blood of my old Zhu family."
Zhu Gaochi was slightly expectant in his heart, and put his ear on the corner of the wall again.
