Mandarin Palace.

A daily lecture is being prepared.

There are five lecturers on the side of the Hanlin Academy, the main lecture is Shi Xuan, a bachelor of Hanlin, the second lecture is Wen Renhe and Mu Konghui, and finally the Hanlin revision Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun.

The age of these people, except for Zhu Hao, who is a "young speaker" named by Zhu Si, the rest seem to be incompatible with youth.

Yu Chengxun is relatively young, but he is thirty years old, Wen Renhe and Mu Konghui are in their forties, and Shi Xuan is nearly sixty years old......

This kind of speaker lineup, Zhu Hao really can't think of any difference from the previous Japanese speaker lineup, the only difference may be that he, the absolute confidant of the new emperor, appeared on the scene by mistake.

It is also necessary to talk about seniority.

Shi Xuan, the oldest with the most seniority, went first.

It's about the ritual music of "Spring and Autumn".

In normal times, Zhu Si would have been drowsy for a long time, but this time he was very nervous, because he was very much looking forward to Zhu Hao's play, and he wanted to call Zhu Hao aside during the break in the Japanese lecture to have a discussion, it didn't matter what he talked about, the main thing was to start this new mode of dialogue between monarchs and ministers.

In the future, Zhu Si will have more opportunities to call Zhu Hao, and the two of them can discuss major matters without being outside the palace or through others.

Just when Shi Xuan finished speaking, Wen Renhe was about to come out to continue speaking, but Zhu Si stretched out his hand to stop him.

"It's boring to listen to this, I should have stopped talking about the feast after the summer, but I think I should learn more common sense in life, and I want to know what is happening outside the palace...... Who of you will tell me?"

Zhu Si is tantamount to giving questions to several Japanese speakers.

Shi Xuan, as the former secretary of the ministry, has now been demoted to a bachelor of Hanlin, but as a loyal supporter of Yang Tinghe faction, he is already a popular candidate to enter the cabinet, and his future seems to be better than Liu Chun.

But Shi Xuan didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

After the feast, what to talk about has been discussed repeatedly, how can you just start the topic randomly?

Zhang Zuo, the eunuch who served the celebrant and the eunuch who listened to the lecture together, said with a smile: "A few scholars, what Your Majesty means, just talk about it casually, it doesn't matter what the content is, as long as it is beneficial to Your Majesty's governance of the government, even if it is just a penny in the market, you can take it out and talk about it."

Wen Renhe was very reserved, and walked out and said, "Your Majesty, this is so unseemly."

Zhu Sidao: "Now that the day has passed the season, what I want you to talk about is not the scriptures and rituals, I have long been tired of hearing about these, and there will always be a chance to learn them again in the future...... Don't you have something new to tell me?"

As he spoke, Zhu Si's eyes were already glancing at Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun.

Yu Chengxun pushed Zhu Hao, which probably means that it is your turn to repay Yang Gong's trust, on!

Zhu Hao turned his head and glared at Yu Chengxun, as if to say, why don't you go up?

The two of them actually stared at each other with big eyes, and they just met like this.

"The latter two, Zhu Hanlin and Yu Hanlin, I know you...... I want to hear the advice of young Hanlin, so that I can understand the philosophy of governance you uphold, don't you plan to stand up and tell me about it? Good or bad, you can say it." Zhu Sidao.

Yu Chengxun was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say at all.

Zhu Hao shook his head with a wry smile, walked out of the crowd, and arrived at the desk where the Japanese lecture was.

Zhu Si couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhu Hao coming.

This feeling is too familiar to him, when he was in Xingwangfu, Zhu Hao taught him every day, and what he talked about was also from all over the world, involving history, science, humanities, folk customs, etc., listening to Zhu Hao's lectures was like listening to stories, which always made people feel fresh and interesting, and they unconsciously absorbed knowledge.

Zhu Si suddenly felt as if he missed his life in Xingwangfu, at least he was carefree at that time, except for looking forward to Zhu Hao talking about new and interesting things, he was looking forward to playing after class.

What is it like now?

Every day I always think about how to intrigue.

"Zhu Hanlin, what are you going to talk about today? If you speak well, I will be rewarded!" Zhu Sidao.

Zhu Hao held Yang Shen in his hand and gave him permission

Prepared presentations.

The first part of the lecture is on "benevolence and filial piety in governing the country", that is, using historical examples to criticize Zhu Si's bad deeds of not abiding by the law, and to criticize the little emperor.

The second part is to preach the "Buddha's verse", that is, the poem praising Buddhism, which requires Zhu Hao to explain in detail the specific content of the seven Buddha monuments written by Huang Tingjian in Lushan in the Northern Song Dynasty.

If the emperor is not satisfied, there are a bunch of them, but none of them are related to the Confucian classics.

Zhu Hao can see that Yang Shen is not only pit him, but also uses him as the spearhead, pointing directly at the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister does have some ideas in governing the country, I don't know if it's right or wrong."

Zhu Hao closed the lecture in front of him and looked at Zhu Si on WeChat.

Zhu Si's eyes lit up, his hand raised, and he made a gesture of "please", and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Hao with joy, this felt that he was very familiar, it was rare that the monarch and the ministers finally had another way to meet in the court, which was probably the first step for His Majesty to grasp power...... Zhang Zuo began to look forward to Zhu Hao assisting Zhu Si to achieve great things as soon as possible.

Zhu Hao said: "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, what is the most important thing to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Respectfully, pay attention to the way you speak every day!"

Shi Xuan next to him frowned, and couldn't help but remind.

Shi Xuan knows very well that Zhu Hao is a junior admired by Liu Chun, this time Zhu Hao can come to Japan to speak, mainly thanks to Liu Chun's recommendation, although he and Liu Chun have a competitive relationship in the cabinet, but he still has a certain friendship, and he doesn't want Zhu Hao to say something too deviant.

But Zhu Hao knew very well in his heart that this was not the case, if only Liu Chun recommended it, without Yang Tinghe's approval, everything would be in vain.

Zhu Sidao: "Master Shi, you don't have to mind, I think this kind of discussion is still necessary...... The most important thing is, of course, the harmony between the monarch and the ministers, and the prosperity of the people, and if there is the blessing of heaven and the wind and rain in the four seas, the court will naturally settle down."

Zhu Hao shook his head: "The minister doesn't think so. Chen believes that the stability of the Ming Dynasty lies first in ...... There is money."

"Poof......

A few people present were listening intently to Zhu Hao's great insights, and they almost didn't squirt out when they heard the words.

This way of speaking, they are unheard of.

When talking about the day, when talking about such vulgar content as "rich", how can a gentleman always talk about money?

It's insulting!

Originally, Yu Chengxun felt that Zhu Hao did not follow the handouts, and was annoyed that this kid was disobedient, but after hearing this statement, he was immediately happy, obviously he felt that Zhu Hao's words would hit the little emperor even harder.

"Rich? Is there any silver? Won't this ...... Too one-sided? Will silver solve all problems?" Zhu Si seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhu Hao's answer.

Zhu Hao said: "The words of the family may not be enough to adopt, but Weichen thinks so. When the court has silver, it can buy grain and grass, and the people can live a stable life when they have silver...... Of course, if you have money, you have to make a lot of goods to ration, so that you can achieve stability in the world."

Zhu Hao's words sound reasonable, but they are actually nonsense.

This is not a daily talk, but a pleasure with the emperor.

In other words, the emperor of any dynasty in the past would definitely drive Zhu Hao out of the palace, and he might not have the opportunity to be an official in the court in the future.

What kind of bullshit are you talking about?

Even Wen Renhe, Mu Konghui and others were looking at Zhu Hao with a look of "you're finished", probably thinking that Zhu Hao would not only lose face in front of the emperor, but also be discredited among the literati.

"Even if you're right."

Zhu Si pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed lightly, "But I think that silver is not omnipotent, there are thieves and criminals in the northwest border, plundering my Ming people, can silver solve such troubles?" There are pirates in the southeast, but even if the military salaries and materials of the coastal defense post are replenished, it will take time to quell them, and the local people will not be unstable. Your intentions are not very good."

Zhu Si seemed to debate with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "The former is indeed not omnipotent, but it is the foundation of peace in the four seas. If the pirates have money, they will not think of risking their heads to invade our Daming Sea Frontier, *** With money and sufficient winter supplies, they will not risk their lives to invade our territory, and the border soldiers have money to serve the imperial court......

"That's enough!"

Shi Xuan really couldn't listen to it anymore, and directly interrupted Zhu Hao's words, "Zhu Jingdao, what kind of heresy are you talking about? A gentleman is a righteous man, a villain is a good man, if even serving the court has to do with money, where did you read your book?"

Zhu Hao didn't expect Shi Hao to be so excited.

He glanced back at Yu Chengxun, who was covering his mouth and snickering, but he was still using encouraging eyes to let Zhu Hao continue to speak.

Zhu Hao said: "Master Shi, it's good to be realistic, I said it in advance, this is just a family's words, something that can lead people to reverie, if the world is full of gentlemen and no villains, then who is the Jingyi for?"

"You ......"

Shi Xuan didn't expect that Zhu Hao would dare to debate directly with him in addition to deviant!

You kid, do you have any concept of bosses and elders?

Is there any respect for seniors and teachers?

The old man is the examiner when you take the exam, and he is your teacher...... Wait, this kid doesn't seem to have ever visited me, and he didn't take me seriously at all.

Zhu Siyi slapped his thigh: "Zhu Hanlin's words sound much more reasonable than the previous mention of money. People always have to be realistic, although only villains are in the favor, but there are too many villains in the world, even if they are gentlemen in the court, the court does not give them money, they still have to protest, don't they? Before a man can be righteous, he must first fill his belly!"

Shi Xuan almost wanted to hit someone.

What are these monarchs talking about?

Is this a child's play with the Confucian classics?

Zhu Hao said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the minister also believes that there are still many villains in the world, so if you want to make the villains stable, you must coerce and lure. From the perspective of the Legalists, that is, there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and all this is based on having money. If the court has no money, who will be willing to die for His Majesty?"
