Chapter 101: The Emperor's Heart

A certain course carefully prepared for the crown prince Zhu Standard was finally determined on the twentieth day of the lunar month.

In order to show his attention, Zhu Yuan came to the palace at the beginning of the day, and first rushed to the east pavilion on the left side of Fengtianmen, and found that not only Lao Zhu had already started a busy day, but also Queen Ma.

After Shi Li's greetings, Ma stepped forward to talk to Zhu Yuan, but he didn't hide it, saying that he also planned to listen to today's lesson.

Zhu Yuan noticed Lao Zhu's helpless expression when Ma said this, and probably understood a little.

Perhaps, it was the recent incident of the 'saint'.

Lao Zhu doesn't mind this, it doesn't mean that Ma doesn't mind, to be honest, compared to Lao Zhu, although Zhu Yuan didn't see it with his own eyes, but Ma should also be the one who spoils his children more, and at the same time, he is definitely the one who does not allow others to have even the slightest threat to his children.

This is indeed the case.

Zhu Yuan told Lao Zhu about Qian Tang's arrival that day, and when Lao Zhu returned to the harem that day, he couldn't help but talk to his daughter-in-law about it, our Zhu family has a saint.

Lao Zhu really doesn't mind this.

Just like the Confucian sages, even if there is no Zhu Yuan, Lao Zhu has always attached great importance to it, but he will never frame himself into it, and after reading Mencius, he found that a certain old man's words are too inappropriate, regardless of whether you are a Confucian sage or not, you have to just give it up.

Although it didn't work out, it can also be seen that Lao Zhu's attitude is there.

Mars is different.

What Ma thinks of is something like 'high merit and shocking the master', a certain teenager has made many achievements in just one year, and this time he has won the reputation of 'saint' level with "The Science of Economics", which is only 14 years old.

If this continues, who knows what will happen in the future?

is high to a certain extent, isn't it to suppress the limelight of his son, coupled with Zhu Yuan's clan status at this time, in history, there are not no emperors on the side branches.

Coupled with the fact that he learned about today's class, Ma decided to come and listen to it.

Lao Zhu is reluctant, what his baby twenty-third grandson wants to talk about is 'the study of the emperor', what are you involved with a woman's family? For this reason, he also reasoned with his wife, but unfortunately, his ability to reason was obviously far inferior to Zhu Yuan.

After greeting here, Lao Zhu and his wife left the East Pavilion with Zhu Yuan and walked to the main hall.

Zhu Yuan walked on Lao Zhu's right hand, and the courseware prepared before had been shown to Lao Zhu, seeing this situation, he thought about it, and said temporarily: "Ancestor, about the recent incident of my 'saint', I will also insert it into it and tell His Highness about it, how about it?" ”

Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yuan say this, nodded with a smile and agreed, and pretended to inadvertently glance at his wife who was one step behind on the left, with obvious subtext in his eyes: Look at how smart and unscrupulous our family is, you have the heart of a villain, right?

Mars pretended not to notice.

In any case, let's listen to today's lesson first.

The main hall has also been prepared, a screen has been erected in a greenhouse that has burned enough earth dragons, and on one side is the auditor seat prepared for Lao Zhu and his wife, and on the other side is the lecture space for Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuan's uncle and nephew.

The other princes have no share.

This matter has also been communicated before, of course Lao Zhu hopes that his sons will listen to it, although it is 'the study of the emperor', it stands to reason that it should not be given to princes other than the crown prince. However, according to Zhu Yuan's plan, there will be more than one emperor in the Zhu family in the future, 'Great Qin', 'Great Chu', 'Great Jin', and 'Great Yan'...... is still a prince in name, but in fact, Lao Zhu has already made up his mind that he will be separated.

After all, it's a first-of-its-kind effort.

Since ancient times, no emperor Lao Tzu has been able to raise a group of emperor sons, we Zhu Yuanzhang can!

Zhu Yuan's attitude, the other princes are not in a hurry, and they will ...... in a few years When needed, I'll talk about it separately.

This is also selfishness.

The little boy who has begun to guard against his brother and teach him by himself, what will Zhu Biao think in his heart?

Could it be that you want my brothers to replace me?

In the conservatory of the main hall.

After sending Lao Zhu and Ma to the screen, Zhu Yuan and Zhu Biao came to a bookcase where they could sit opposite each other.

Today's lecture also has 'PPT', but it is all small pages, and the way of explanation is also to sit and talk about the Tao, no longer standing and sitting on the vertical board before.

Sit down here, wait for the courtiers to leave, Zhu Yuan finally sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke, and at the same time showed the first page of 'PPT' to Zhu Biao on the opposite side of the bookcase: "Your Highness, the topic of our discussion today is 'The Heart of the Emperor', if you have any questions or disapproves, you can interrupt me at any time." ”

Zhu Biao nodded.

Looking at the page with only a few words in front of him, listening to Zhu Yuan's words, Zhu Biao was already a little touched in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at the direction of the screen.

One of the boy's most heartfelt thoughts: this ...... Is it appropriate?

After all, Daddy is fine.

Yourself, no hurry.

Zhu Yuan patiently waited for Zhu Biao to turn back to himself before continuing to another page: "Your Highness, what is the 'heart of the emperor', Yuan'er believes that you can apply the two sentences in the "Tao Te Ching", 'Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs.' Your Highness has been studying for many years, and if you think that you only listen to the meaning of words, you should have an understanding, right? ”

Zhu Biao nodded again, and suddenly instinctively felt that he shouldn't be a nodding worm, so he said, "Yuan'er, listen...... It is too inconsistent with the Confucian way of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Saying this, Zhu Biao also noticed a point.

The saint is unkind.

O 'saint'!

Recently, he had also heard about the birth of a certain 'saint'.

Although the incident happened in Zhu Yuan's mansion, and Zhu Yuan did not deliberately spread it, the problem is that Qian Tang is a gentleman, and a gentleman will not do one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, so in addition to coming to the door in person and talking about it every day, he does not shy away from his opinion of Zhu Yuan, otherwise, if he only performs in Zhu Yuan alone, it will become flattery.

This is not something that Qian Tang can do.

As a result, a certain saying spread quickly, and it has been spread to Zhu Biao.

"This is what Yuan'er is going to talk about today," Zhu Yuan did not rush to a certain sensitive word, and slowly expanded: "His Royal Highness began to learn Confucianism at the age of six, and has learned the 'benevolent heart' that Confucianism should have. If His Royal Highness is not the crown prince, he will inevitably become a great Confucian in the future, but ...... The problem is that His Royal Highness is the crown prince. ”

Zhu Biao felt that he understood a little, but this time he didn't speak.

Zhu Yuan continued: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, the successor of the Ming Empire, and he will inherit the throne and become an emperor in the future. This kind of realm, in general, is a 'heart of the emperor', how should the emperor look at everything? These are the two sentences I just said, taking all things as dogs, and people as dogs. When I say this, I am not saying that His Highness has become indifferent and cruel and condescending, but that I hope that you can pull yourself out of the situation and look at everything from the perspective of a bystander, so that you will not be blinded, and you can manage the country more clearly and clearly, and better inherit our Zhu family in the future. ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he didn't want to do it in his heart, but he couldn't help but nod his head.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is not a firm age, although he doesn't like this too shining successor in his heart, but since he was six years old, under the influence of Confucianism, Zhu Biao has indeed been cultivated a lot of good things.

For example, you can't be jealous.

For example, we should honor our parents, love our brothers, and care about our juniors.

For example, for those who are learned, they should humbly seek advice.

Therefore, when he found that Zhu Yuan's words were very reasonable, Zhu Biao still listened to them.

At the same time, on the other side of the screen, there are also two more nodding worms.

Lao Zhu had a feeling that he had a feeling that he couldn't finish digging out the things in his baby's twenty-third grandson's head.

Too much.

Too much.

Ma is the most sober one, but he has to admit that the kid next door is talking ...... Pretty good.

Seeing Zhu Biao's reaction, Zhu Yuan continued, and turned a page of 'PPT' again, with only a few words on it: "Your Highness, what is the key to cultivating an 'imperial heart', in my opinion, it is also four words: free will." Although we are the primates of all things, we are actually a group animal, and when we live in a group, we are inevitably affected by the people around us. The so-called 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black', or the sentence 'living with good people, such as entering the room of Zhilan, and not smelling its fragrance for a long time', these are all expounding similar truths. ”

Speaking another page, Zhu Yuan continued: "The reason why people are the primates of all things is that we can learn, and if we want to learn, we must get along with others, which is inevitable." Ordinary people are influenced by the people around them, whether it is the room of Zhilan or the abalone, but they become similar people. However, whether it is an emperor or an imperial successor like His Highness, if you are too easily influenced by others, and too easy to become the kind of person that others want you to be, then the result will be very bad. To avoid this, make sure you have 'free will'. How to have free will, and to go back to the beginning, His Highness should have a higher and farther detached vision to look at everything. ”

Zhu Biao fell into thought.

Behind the screen, Lao Zhu and Ma also fell into thought.

Zhu Yuan paused for a short time, took a sip of warm tea, and then continued: "Your Highness, you are so smart, hearing this, you may also react a little, probably you want to ask, do I don't like Confucianism, so I want to pull you out of the Confucian atmosphere?" ”

Zhu Biao, like Lao Zhu, is also the same as Zhu Yuan, although he is still young, he is also a worried person.

So, that was really thought of as well.

Originally, there was a faint disgust in his heart, but after Zhu Yuan calmly revealed it, Zhu Biao felt that he would think too much?

At present, Zhu Biao, who has not experienced too much power, is actually relatively pure.

Not like later.

Seeing Zhu Biao's shallow expression of affirmation, Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course not." Your Highness, you should have read many letters and documents I have written to my ancestors in the past year, and I mentioned it very early on, 'Confucianism is like a shadowless sword, protecting me in China for thousands of years, and this immortal achievement'. Without Confucianism for more than 1,000 years to block and even assimilate foreign races with the power of culture, and therefore you have me and I have you to protect my Han family elegance, now in this land, there is no longer the word 'Huaxia'. At this point, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand, and many lands outside the territory have actually produced glorious civilizations, but most of them do not exist now, one of the main reasons is the invasion of foreign races, and their culture, and we are not strong, resulting in once destroyed by foreign races, there is no revival of the story. However, because of the strong culture of Confucianism and Confucianism, even if this land has been grazed by foreigners for a hundred years, our ancestors said 'expel Hulu and restore China', my China will come again, and it will rise again, among them, the credit of Confucianism will be inseparable. In that case, Your Highness, how can I oppose Confucianism, do I want my children and grandchildren to never remember their own culture in the future if they encounter it again? ”

Zhu Biao felt that he nodded again, and there was a faint hint of inexplicable pride that could probably be called pride...... Agitated.

Huaxia!
