Chapter 42: Thoughts on Learning

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel anything about the help of Shu Wang's homework. Zhu Yuanzhang cultivates children, all for the superiors. For those in high positions, the most important thing is to employ people. So, this assignment, if it is a write-up. That's plagiarism. If there are many people involved, it is that the king of Shu knows how to use people.

After all, the editor-in-chief of many large books may not have been involved in much work.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the chair next to him while watching, and said, "Sit." ”

"Yes." King Shu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Some of your homework is refreshing to me, but it is biased towards today. I know the few roads you mentioned, but they are ancient roads in the Han and Tang dynasties, you didn't elaborate, some place names are still copied from ancient books, right? ”

The king of Shu said: "It was the child and it was not verified. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "To do learning, you must be down-to-earth. In this way, I will assign you a hundred households of Jinyi Wei and ask them to write these ancient roads on you, investigate them one by one, and change them when you go back to this homework. ”

The king of Shu said, "Yes." ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang handed the work of the King of Shu to the King of Shu, he waved his hand and asked He Xi, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang, to come over. He Xi leaned forward slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "I know this son." Although I am knowledgeable, my performance today has exceeded my expectations. Are you really a bit of a talent that can turn dullness into wisdom? ”

In fact, the king of Shu is very smart. He also has a certain achievement in literature.

It's just that he's a little too young. In Confucian education, the king of Shu at this time should be specializing in the study of the Four Books and Five Classics. And at this moment, the King of Shu made such a report. Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there were a lot of others to help him, and even the King of Shu did not shy away from this point in the report, clearly stating what someone in a certain house said. Those words were said by a certain general. But no matter what, King Shu was able to come up with this set of things that made Zhu Yuanzhang refreshing, which surprised him very much.

He Xi whispered: "It's not that the minister has some talent to turn stones into gold. The King of Shu was originally very intelligent. The minister is just a little pointer, moreover, the minister's teacher also once said that historiography is the least qualification-less knowledge, as long as you can work hard, dare to work hard, you will generally have some achievements, if someone is willing to sit on the cold bench for 30 years, even if it is not everyone, there will definitely be a place. And real learning is to make people more and more clear and understandable. Able to carry the program and deal with the affairs of the world. And the kind of things that the more you learn, the more you don't know what you are, like falling into the fog, and the mysteries are mysterious, either the lecturer is half a bucket of water, and he doesn't understand it himself, or he pretends to be profound, but in fact, there are probably few true and many fake. ”

Although He Xi spoke very quietly, but at this moment, the emperor was here, and no one dared to whisper. Therefore, He Xi spoke quietly, but it also spread.

The crown prince nodded thoughtfully, and he was looking at the work of the King of Shu in his hand. King Shu's homework was nothing to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang planned several battles with the remnant yuan, and he knew everything about where to pass the army on the grassland, and he didn't need his son's reminder. But the prince is different, in terms of military strategy, the prince has weaknesses. Many times in the war against the remnant yuan, he was only responsible for logistics and carried out Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, but he didn't know much about why he marched like this. There aren't many people to ask either.

After all, the prince is not good at interacting too deeply with the bigwigs in the army, and the generals that the prince believes in, Mu Ying and Lan Yu, are not in Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not let them be in Beijing. Just think about it, these two people are the prince's future arms. In the future, the crown prince can return to Beijing when he ascends the throne. Now that the prince is still the prince, these two people can accumulate merit outside and do much when they return to Beijing.

Therefore, the work of the king of Shu has solved a lot of confusion for the prince.

At this moment, the prince secretly said in his heart: "The father actually chooses to use the knowledge of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and the knowledge of He Xi is indeed a useful learning, no wonder the father is inclined to He Xi." I'm going to take a closer look at it in the future. ”

The crown prince is not worried about He Xi, nor is he worried about the king of Shu, what he is most worried about is not being able to grasp his father's train of thought.

It's not that the prince doesn't have opinions, but as the prince of the male lord, he understands one thing too well, if his father thinks differently, what will happen?

It's just that the prince has already made the idea of changing his course.

Others don't. Sitting not far away, Song Ne gritted his teeth and his face was flushed. Today, Guozijian lent it to Mingjiantang to use, and he was already very aggrieved. also listened to He Xi's yin and yang strange words. Even more lungs are blown up.

Yes, He Xi doesn't feel that he is yin and yang. After all, he is telling the truth and speaking from his heart. Historiography is a discipline that does not require much ingenuity, but more painstaking work. As for the latter words, it is also He Xi's experience.

But as long as you learn and understand something, you will feel that this thing is getting simpler and simpler. Rather than getting more and more complex.

It's just that these words are clearly hinting at science in Song Ne's ears. Yes, science has the disease of fragmentation, this is not what He Xi said, but the summary of the great Confucians of later generations. It seems that the Qi family governs the country and the world, but in many things, there are many separations and contradictions.

This confirms what He Xi just said, the more you learn, the more complicated it becomes.

But on such an occasion, it was really not the time for him to have a seizure.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, didn't say anything more, and said, "Xu Zheng, it's not early, call the students to come up." ”

Xu Zheng agreed, and soon Lian Zining came up.

Lian Zining stood at the bottom and saluted the emperor and the ministers first. After the salute, he said loudly: "What the students are talking about is "The Beginning and End of the Six Towns and the Lessons". ”

As soon as Lian Zining said, there was a buzz below.

Because in their opinion, the topic is too biased.

A lot of people don't even know what Six Towns is. After all, the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was not the focus of later generations. In this day and age, not many people study it either. Even if someone knows, they only read it when they were reading, and they know that the Six Towns Rebellion was a key event in the Northern Dynasty and directly affected future generations. The Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Sui and Tang dynasties were all affected by the Six Towns Rebellion. But that's about it.

More they don't know.

Lian Zining is still talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to what Lian Zining said first, just this typhoon, he could not be stage frightened in front of so many ministers and generals, as well as him. It's already good. Immediately, I listened carefully to Lian Zining's talk about the rebellion in the six towns, and I fell into a trance. No longer pay attention to Lian Zining as a person, but pay attention to what Lian Zining said.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew about the Six Towns Rebellion, but he didn't dig into it. It's just that listening to Lian Zining's talk at this moment, I suddenly feel that the rebellion in the six towns is particularly worthy of in-depth study.

Here's a brief introduction to Six Towns.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty established six military towns on the Monan grassland to resist the attack of Rouran. Even if these six military towns are in the current Monan region, Inner Mongolia will face the first line of Outer Mongolia in later generations. Of course, this is not too accurate. Just a few words.

Originally, the Northern Wei Jingshi was in Pingcheng, and Pingcheng was originally near Datong, Shanxi, but Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang. The political center is hard to move. It is conducive to the sinicization of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the soldiers of the Six Towns were far from the political center, and their attention was declining. For various reasons, a vigorous uprising of the Six Towns was set off, and the ancestors of the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Yang family of the Great Sui, and the Li family of the Tang Dynasty appeared one after another in this chaos. Even the so-called Guanlong family was formed in this chaos.

Zhu Yuanzhang first thought of Zhu Di's relocation of the capital from the Six Towns Rebellion.

Without him, although Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Nanjing, he also knows that the military center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty can only be in northern Xinjiang in the future, and Nanjing, as a political center, is far away from the military center of gravity, and there will be a day when the Six Towns Rebellion will be repeated in the future.

The idea of moving the capital to Beijing slowly wandered in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

However, the focus of what Lian Zining said is not here, but in the later stage of the Six Towns, why should there be chaos. In order to maintain the existence of the six towns on the grassland, the Northern Wei court spent a lot of money, and how much did the soldiers at the bottom of the six towns get.
