In the greenhouse, Zhu Yuan also quickly continued: "So, at the beginning, I said that I would send the five-hundred-year-old national honor to my ancestors, the core of which is that our Ming Dynasty will walk on two legs in the future, one leg is the 'moral etiquette' with Confucianism as the core, and the other leg is the 'economic science' that His Royal Highness has studied." Oh, speaking of which, because of the release of the 'production chapter' of "The Science of Economics", someone recently came to say, I am a 'saint', have you ever heard of it? ”

Zhu Biao opened his mouth this time, with a smile: "I heard it." ”

Zhu Yuan also smiled and said, "Your Highness is envious?" ”

Zhu Biao tilted his head, thought about it, and said truthfully: "Yes...... Somewhat. ”

"Your Highness shouldn't be envious, because being a 'saint' is not good at all," Zhu Yuan said: "If you become a 'saint', others will subconsciously demand you with higher moral standards, and if you make a slight mistake, you will be magnified immediately, and even, how high you are praised now, how ruthless you may be if you fall down in the future." Therefore, I feel now, in fact, as if I have been put on the fire, and when I do things in the future, I must be more careful subconsciously, all kinds of moral flaunts, heaven and earth, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, I think I have to do better than others, in order to be more worthy of the identity that others have given me, which is actually a kind of bondage. ”

Zhu Biao was a little stunned.

Behind the screen, Lao Zhu still listened with a smile, and took a sip of tea, knowing in his heart that this was to some extent a statement by his precious twenty-third grandson.

This kid is just too careful.

Next to Lao Zhu, Ma Shi was inexplicably relaxed when he heard this. I thought of a sentence in a poem, Zhou Gong was afraid of the day of rumors.

Of course, Ma also knows the second half of the sentence.

Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Shi Zai, as the elder brother of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, after his younger brother ascended the throne as a young man, Duke Zhou assisted in dealing with the government, Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai and other ministers wanted to launch a rebellion, and they were afraid of Duke Zhou, so they released rumors that he wanted to usurp the throne, and Duke Zhou heard the news and immediately took the initiative to resign from his official position and return to the fief to prove his innocence. Later, there was a rebellion in the imperial court, and the Duke of Zhou turned the tide and came forward to calm down.

In addition to the military, the Duke of Zhou also customized ceremonial music, divided the princes, worked hard all his life, and personally laid the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for nearly 800 years.

As for Wang Mang...... Needless to say.

Recalling what he saw when he read books every day, Ma couldn't help but glance at the direction of the screen. Child, I hope Ling Zhen is really another 'Zhou Gongdan'.

Outside the screen, Zhu Yuan continued: "Then again, the positioning that Qian Tang gave me is actually the 'sage' of Confucianism, and the standard of a Confucian sage is the three immortals, virtue, meritorious service and speech. If His Royal Highness is envious, he can be a Taoist 'saint' in the future, this is not to say that 'the saint is unkind, and the people are the dogs', in fact, it is still what Yuan'er just explained, to have the 'heart of the emperor', to have 'free will', Confucianism is a leg that our Ming Dynasty wants to continue to move forward, His Royal Highness must pay attention to it, but His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, the successor of the empire in the future, cannot frame himself in Confucianism, His Royal Highness should have a higher vision like a Taoist saint. ”

Zhu Biao took the initiative to ask this time: "Yuan'er, ...... specific How? ”

"This is what we are going to discuss next," Zhu Yuan took out another page of 'PPT' and handed it to Zhu Biao opposite: "Your Highness, I have another theory here, governing a small county, what is needed is 'science', governing a big country, what is needed is 'philosophy', this kind of expression, if you strictly investigate the meaning of these two words, is actually inaccurate, because, philosophy, in fact, is also a kind of science, the so-called science, I can remember, it seems, including 'natural science' and ' The two kinds of social sciences, natural sciences, are those professional studies from 'mathematics' to 'physics' in Jinling University, and those that study the rules of the operation of heaven and earth that are not affected by our human will. The social sciences, the most typical, 'economic science' is a kind of science that is influenced by people and studies the rules of the operation of various human societies. Speaking of 'philosophy', my personal definition is a kind of study related to the study of human social morality and ethics, in short, it is still a 'rite', but it is not the Confucian 'rite' as His Highness understands. Because, Confucianism has Confucian 'rites', Taoism has Taoist 'rites', and Legalism also has Legalist 'rites', and these should be understood by His Royal Highness, because they can all play a role in governing the country. Only by integrating all these 'rites' can His Royal Highness have a higher level of 'independent thinking', can he achieve detachment, have 'free will', and shape the 'heart of an emperor'. ”

Zhu Biao listened carefully and felt very reasonable, however, when he looked at the 'PPT' in front of him, which only had the words 'science' and 'philosophy', he suddenly found that he couldn't remember it.

If you can't remember, how can you 'learn from time to time', and how can you 'learn from the old and learn the new'?

So he interrupted: "Yuan'er, you said this, and this ......" and clicked on the page in front of him: "It's too brief, I can't remember." ”

Behind the screen, Lao Zhu also felt that he couldn't remember, so he took the initiative to speak at this time, raised his voice slightly and said outside: "Yuan'er, later you will also organize what you said today into a book, and send it over completely." ”

Zhu Yuan hurriedly agreed, confirming that Lao Zhu had no other instructions, and then continued: "Your Highness, let's go back to 'science' and 'philosophy', what I just described is just explaining a realm, but science, the same is what His Highness should understand, the 16 majors of Jinling University and National University, His Highness does not have to go deeper, people's energy is limited, it is impossible to learn them all, what you have to do is to understand, know what 'physics' is, what are the magic of 'chemistry',' What benefits can agriculture bring to the empire, and so on, and then, on this basis, you can shape your own 'imperial heart', which is like building a building, 'science' is the foundation, and when the foundation is laid, the tall building can be erected, otherwise, it is a castle in the air, and the wind blows away. If Your Highness does not understand agriculture, it is natural to think that the people should also plant crops in winter, so as to increase food production. So he ordered the people to sow seeds and plough the fields in winter, but in this case, the grain could not grow. ”

Zhu Biao interrupted with a smile: "I won't be like this." ”

Lao Zhu couldn't help it, and interjected again: "How can there be such a ridiculous thing." ”

"Yes," Zhu Yuan said, "there was an emperor who heard that the people were starving to death, and he was very puzzled, and asked the people around him, why didn't they eat meat?"

Zhu Biao replied: "This is an allusion to Emperor Hui." ”

Lao Zhu behind the screen was silent and thoughtful.

Zhu Yuan also continued: "Therefore, 'science' and 'philosophy' are indispensable, 'science' is the foundation, and 'philosophy' is a height that His Highness should pursue in cultivating the 'heart of the emperor'. So, the last question, what should the 'imperial heart' pursued by His Royal Highness be? ”

At the exit of this question, whether it was Zhu Biao in front of the screen or Lao Zhu behind the screen, they couldn't help but cheer up. When Ma heard now, he saw her husband's reaction again, and she also regretted it a little, she should have taken a pen and paper just now, and wrote down things for each father and son on the spot, so as not to let the child next door go back to trouble sorting out, and it may be missed.

Zhu Yuan asked, and quickly gave an answer, and another page of 'PPT' was handed to Zhu Biao: "Actually, both Taoism and Confucianism have given the answer." Taoism pays attention to 'nature', Confucianism emphasizes 'moderation', and in the final analysis, it is the way of balance. ”

Zhu Biao glanced at the two words on the page in front of him, and then read softly: "The way of balance? ”

"Yes, the way of balance," Zhu Yuan said: "Among them, I think the Taoist 'nature' is actually higher, Your Highness, here is a page of diagrams, talking about the truth of a 'biological chain'." ”

Zhu Biao took it again, and Zhu Yuan continued: "In nature, wolves eat rabbits, rabbits eat grass, grass grows in the soil, and the nutrients in the soil come from all living things, this is the 'biological chain', heh, there is also a concept of 'food chain', but this concept is relatively smaller. Because it is not only wolves that eat rabbits, but also foxes and tigers, and they will eat rabbits when they catch them. What I am trying to do on this page is a demonstration of the way of balance in nature. Your Highness can imagine that if you cut off any of the links, for example, if there are no carnivores, then herbivores, such as rabbits, such as wild sheep, will grow wildly, and there are too many wild sheep and rabbits, and the roots of the grass will be pitted, then the land will be deprived of grass, and it will become a desert, and when the time comes, most of the creatures will no longer be able to survive in the desert, and this is the result of the balance of nature being broken. ”

Zhu Biao listened carefully, thought it was very interesting, and thought, is it wrong?

Lao Zhu behind the screen understands that there is no bias.

This is to say that the civil and military officials in the imperial court, the world's farmers, businessmen and businessmen, must exist, and if one of them is missing, there will be serious consequences.

As Lao Zhu expected, Zhu Yuan then explained it like this, which made Zhu Biao suddenly realize.

However, this actually began to be mixed with Zhu Yuan's selfishness.

In addition to civil and military officials and scholars, farmers and businessmen, it is also a must.

Zhu Yuan actually considered adding more private goods, and the plan was designed, but in the end, he gave up, too much, and it was more secure step by step.

After all, I just taught His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think independently, and listening to today's class is the time when thinking most independently and actively, in case the intention is seen through, this is not good.

Therefore, the key balance of the 'Emperor's Heart' was given, and then Zhu Biao was clearly instilled in the hundred schools of thought, detached from the outside, learned to 'think independently', and formed 'free will', Zhu Yuan announced the end of today's course. Moreover, from the continuous observation of Zhu Biao during the lecture, Zhu Yuan also believes that after today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a significant change.

What we need to do later is to adapt to this change.

Of course, this is the arrangement of Lao Zhu's father.

This time, some Confucian students will be transferred from Zhu Biao's side, and more other knowledge will be added to his daily study, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will no longer have too much resistance.
