Mandarin Palace.

Today is the first day of the lecture of the newly appointed emperor and the secretary of the ministry, Shangshu Wang Zhi.

Zhu Di came to the Wenhua Hall early, holding a book in his hand, waiting for this so-called scripture feast day.

Wang Zhi came to the outside of the Wenhua Palace, and the little eunuch guarding the door knew the identity of the person in front of him, so he naturally didn't dare to come nonsense, and seemed extremely close, so he went in without saying a word.

After a while, a lazy voice came from the hall: "Come in." ”

Wang Zhi walked in with a hard head, and shouted with low eyebrows: "Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, is under the order of the Empress Dowager, serving as His Majesty's lecturer and teaching Jingyi. ”

Zhu Di let out a "hmm" and didn't raise his eyelids.

"Find your own place and sit down."

Wang Zhi raised his head and glanced at it.

Just this time, his eyeballs almost didn't pop out.

Zhu Di put his feet on the table, put one leg on the other, and flipped through the book in his hand, without the slightest intention of humbly asking for advice.

Finding out what kind of book he was reading, Wang Zhi was even more shocked.

Zhu Di is looking at nothing else, it is Luo Bingwang's "On behalf of Li Jingye to pass on the world"!

This book was written by King Luo Bin for Li Jingye, the grandson of the British Duke Li Jihei, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and the main purpose was to denounce Wu Zetian for abolishing the emperor at will, listening to the government in the dynasty, and having the intention of establishing himself on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

The current situation has some similarities with the Tang Dynasty in the past.

After the civil change, most of the power of the ministers perished, the emperor was captured, and the empress dowager Sun Ruowei came to the court to listen to the government, and now although the new emperor Jingtai has ascended the throne, there is still no intention to return to the government.

Looking at this book at this juncture, Zhu Di's meaning is already obvious, and this kind of prompt is even more frightening to Wang Zhi.

It stands to reason that Zhu Di is not interested in coming to today's day.

Don't look at this Wang Zhi is now the head of Wenchen, but he was promoted by himself at the beginning.

As an emperor, can you use him to teach?

But today's Shuntian, the forces of all parties are complicated.

The orthodox party headed by Sun Ruowei and Zhu Qizhen, the Wenchen group headed by Yu Qian and Wang Zhi, as well as Wang Cheng and Liu Ju, the imperial party that had just been co-opted by themselves.

The Chinese clique is also divided into multiple parties, Wang Cheng and Liu Ju are loyal to themselves, and who in the orthodox party can divide and use for themselves.

These things need to be sorted out one by one.

The reason why Zhu Di is sitting here today is only because it is not clear what Wang Zhi's position is.

Zhu Di once saw with his own eyes how his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu, swept away the heroes, and was comfortable in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhu Di also saw with his own eyes how the eldest nephew of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was used by Wenchen in full of enthusiasm, so as to lose the world.

Sun Ruowei wanted to use the name of the Japanese lecture to give a dismount.

What Zhu Di wanted was to use his strength to use his strength to use this opportunity to have a long talk and beat Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi came to the table, looked at Zhu Di's legs on the table, and asked: "Today's handout, subordinate to Your Majesty, not only a monarch and a minister, but also a master and apprentice, isn't Your Majesty not aware of respecting teachers?" ”

Zhu Di turned the page, looked at it for a while, and then raised his eyes, and said lightly: "Talented people are teachers, and they can respect teachers, has Mr. Fei been the emperor?" Can I be taught? ”

"This..."Wang Zhi sighed, let him go, walked to the side of the table and sat down, and asked: "I heard that His Majesty came to Xizhimen yesterday and scolded the emperor, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes."

"But why?"

"No, he should scold."

Wang Zhi heard the confrontation of this sentence, frowned and said: "No matter what, the Emperor Taishang is still the imperial brother of His Majesty, the eldest brother is like a father, not to mention that in front of everyone, Your Majesty should not do this no matter what." ”

"Hehehe..."

Zhu Di sneered, lowered his head and continued to read.

Wang Zhi opened the scriptures and was about to start class, when he saw Zhu Di's appearance, he had some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Why is Your Majesty laughing?" ”

Zhu Di glanced at him and didn't reply.

Wang Zhi then smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't dare to reply?" ”

Only then did Zhu Di raise his eyes to look at him, and said word by word: "It's not that I don't dare, it's disdain." ”

Wang Zhi thought that Zhu Di was saying that he disdained to speak by himself, and frowned and said: "The minister is here to distinguish the scriptures with His Majesty this time, in order to prove the avenue, why disdain?" ”

Zhu Di slowly put down the book in his hand and said: "I don't know benevolence, love, loyalty and forgiveness, I don't know etiquette, righteousness and shame, I am stubborn and self-serving, cowardly as a mouse, and I call him the Son of Heaven in vain." ”

"Yes, disdain."

Wang Zhi listened to it with a heartfelt turn, but he didn't expect that His Majesty, who had never received a serious royal etiquette, talked about the scriptures and righteousness, and his eyes were full of complicated looks.

Zhu Di stood up and walked to the edge of the window, looked at the pavilions in the palace in the distance, and said:

"Shame on people, shame for those who are clever in change, shame for nothing. Therefore, if a person is incorruptible and violates propriety and righteousness, it is born from shamelessness. The shame of the scholar is a national shame. ”

"The shame of the Son of Heaven is even worse than that of Dr. Yushi!"

"Yesterday, I was scolded by the 300,000 souls who died in Tumubao, and it was for those soldiers who believed in the imperial court and defended the city with their lives, not for me myself."

As he spoke, Zhu Di turned his head, his eyes were like blades, he looked directly at Wang Zhi, and said: "You scholars, all of you boast of reading poetry and books, and like to quote scriptures, but don't you know what shame is? ”

"The saint hates vulgarity, but there are also times when he waves his sword at each other, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, quoting scriptures all day long, can they wash away the shame of civil engineering for me!"

"Sun Ruowei asked you to teach me what the Son of Heaven is, I want to ask you, Wang Ge Lao, does she Sun Ruowei really know how to teach a Son of Heaven?"

The classics prepared by Wang Zhi are completely useless, and his stomach is full of ink, but he doesn't know where to start.

Is that wrong?

It's a bit direct, but it's true.

Seeing that Wang Zhi had nothing to say, Zhu Di laughed, turned around and said, "Elder Ge, what I said today is only about things, not about people, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"You can come here as usual in the future, I still have a lot to learn from you."

Wang Zhi still dares to say that he teaches the person in front of him, when he sees it today, people obviously understand everything, and he cites scriptures and classics, which is no less than himself, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty is really too polite, and it is a blessing for your subordinates to have the honor to teach Your Majesty."

......

Late at night.

At the end of the busy day, Wang Zhi returned to the courtyard of the mansion and sat down.

For the first time, he poured himself a pot of wine.

Or spirits.

He took a full drink and looked to the sky.

The night sky was cloudy, and the moonlight was looming, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, just like the situation of the Jingshi being besieged by the Wara army, more like the anxiety in his heart at this moment.

"Courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame..."

"Etiquette is noble and humble, righteousness is the criterion of action, honesty is honest and square, and shame is the heart of shame."

Wang Zhi didn't know how to drink, he only felt choked and spicy in his throat, but he still drank another glass, looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, if even the Son of Heaven doesn't have a sense of shame, what am I doing all this for?" ”

"Courtiers, courtiers..."

"Who is my minister?"

"Who is the Son of Heaven?"
