One day in the winter of the eighteenth year of Wanli, there was a lot of snow.

The glazed and snow-blooming royal inner garden has become a fairyland on earth again.

And this day happens to be the crown prince's birthday, so there is no need to study, and there is a day off.

Zhu Yijun also came back early from the imperial secretary on this morning, and went to the place where the palace women's school was located with the crown prince.

The palace women's school is a place for royal noblewomen to study and learn etiquette.

Since Zhu Yijun no longer asked the palace grandmother to teach the princess etiquette, he let the princesses learn culture and etiquette here, and at the same time, they will also choose some clans and noble women to study here, and then the newly selected concubines will also study here, presided over by the queen.

As for the teachers, they were selected from the concubines with a level of education in the palace and the women with a level of education in the clan.

And Zhu Yijun and the crown prince came to the place where the women's school in the palace was located today, just to pick up the queen Du.

Because the prince's birthday wish was to stay with the queen longer, Zhu Yijun also took him here to take his mother back to the palace.

On the way here, Zhu Yijun asked the prince Zhu Changxun about his recent studies, and asked Zhu Changxun to take the initiative to ask himself a few questions.

"Father, why did those wealthy clans obviously create such a big momentum, but they were defeated in the end?"

Zhu Changxun asked Zhu Yijun such a question at this time.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "This is because they are not the people who decide how to go for Daming, they seem to be rich and rival countries, but in fact, the threat is not as good as a stream of bandits." ”

"Then is it the emperor who decides how Da Ming goes?"

Zhu Changxun asked.

Zhu Yijun said: "It's not the emperor either. ”

"Who's that?!"

Zhu Changxun was a little unconvinced, he thought that it would be the Son of Heaven who would decide the trend of the world.

"It's all the people of the world!"

"They are the ones who make history, and they are the ones who influence history, and you can't ignore the influence of the toiling masses in history."

Zhu Yijun replied.

Zhu Changxun said: "The gentleman who can teach me the scriptures said that there are many ignorant people in the world, who only know how to eat and dress and raise children, and rarely have great ambitions, so although it is the foundation of the world, it cannot control the world, and to make the new rite deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it depends on whether the Son of Heaven and the people of the world are trying to govern." ”

"There is a saying in the Taizhou School, which is called the way for the people to use every day!"

"No matter how ignorant and simple the people's thinking is, it is also the thought that has the greatest impact on the rise and fall of my Ming Dynasty, because the common people are always the majority of the people in this country, and their degree of civilization determines the degree of civilization of the Ming Dynasty, and also determines how far the Ming Dynasty can go."

"So, it's still them who decide how Daming goes."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhu Changxun nodded and pondered.

Not long after, Zhu Yijun and the prince arrived at the location of the women's school and met the queen Du.

As soon as Du Shi saw Zhu Yijun, he walked to Zhu Yijun's face first, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty!" ”

After Zhu Yijun said "no courtesy", he patted the snow on Du's shoulder.

The prince also greeted Du Shi, and then walked to Du Shi and hugged Du Shi.

Du Shi also touched the prince's head lovingly, smiled gently, and asked, "Are you tired of studying?" ”

"Not tired!"

After a while, the prince took the initiative to take Zhu Yijun and Du Shi back to the palace together.

Zhu Yijun had a meal with the queen and the crown prince and went to the imperial secretary again.

As soon as I arrived at the Imperial Division.

Zhu Yijun said to Shen Shixing: "Change the prince's Mr. Jingxue!" ”

After hearing this, Shen Shixing couldn't help asking: "May I ask Your Majesty, but what is wrong with him?" ”

Zhu Yijun said: "It's not that there is anything wrong, it's that he didn't cause the prince to look at the problem dialectically, but only instilled his own inherent concepts in him, or only understood the new rites according to the teachings of the saints." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "It's not that there is anything wrong, it's that he didn't cause the prince to look at the problem dialectically, but only instilled his own inherent concepts in him, or only understood the new rites according to the teachings of the saints." ”

"If he continues to teach him like this, my son will become more and more stupid by him! The new rites will be the same as the old rites, which he only remembers as a dogma, forgetting that the essence of the present rite is that the rite needs to be updated all the time. ”

"But now, I suddenly feel that it's okay not to change, but I have to choose another Wang Xuemen to be his husband, preferably the Taizhou School!"

"It's not enough to be a scholar of the king, it is better that Luo Qinshun and Wang Tingxiang, these scholars, also choose one to be his Mr. Jingxue."

"Historiography and literature are also arranged in this way, and one of the retro school and the sexual spirit school is selected to teach the prince."

"Your Majesty!"

"If you teach it like this, I'm afraid that one prince doesn't know which gentleman's words to use as the key, and the other is afraid that the officials of the East Palace will be in turmoil."

Shen Shixing said at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, it will be dark, it is the weapon of the Son of Heaven for the king of Yao Shun, and the prince is the future son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it is not for him to listen to the words of any gentleman, but to let him have his own judgment, and by listening to the words of the people, he can form his own opinions, and he can be more clear about right and wrong; ”

"As for the internal strife among the speakers of the East Palace, the master is worried, but this is actually a good thing, the Daming that the prince will face in the future will definitely be an era when the disputes between the various families are more intense, and there may be old and new, so it is better to let him face this dispute in advance, and know how to deal with it in the future."

"Your Majesty said yes."

"The Monarch of the Holy Ming is to learn from others' strengths, be compatible and know."

"And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can know in advance that all schools have their own merits, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and even water and fire will be incompatible, it will indeed help to avoid believing in the words of one family in the future, and then mislead the world."

"The minister was not thoughtful before, and he only knew that those who chose to worship the new rites passed on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"However, Yuchen is still worried about this, will it make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince advocate the old rites and old learning more in the future?"

Shen Shixing asked at this time.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing, his face serious.

Shen Shixing hurriedly gave up his hands.

Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled slightly: "Qing has no confidence in the prince, or has he not confidence in Xinli?" ”

Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in his ears, and he was compelled to say again:

"Your Majesty knows the ministers better than the ministers themselves, and the ministers dare not hide it from Your Majesty, after Your Majesty asked this, the ministers did find out that the ministers were unwilling to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask the words of the people, and they were indeed worried that His Highness might be more willing to support the old rites after coming into contact with the old rites."

"If you don't let him contact it now, he won't be able to contact him if he becomes the Son of Heaven in the future?"

"Rather than that, it's better to let him come into contact."

"We have to have faith in the new ceremony!"

Zhu Yijun said here: "However, the master, as a dignified Yuanfu, has no confidence in the new rites he has implemented, and I am also very surprised." ”

Shen Shixingru was stripped of his underwear, his face became more and more red for a while, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to conceal it, although the current battle against Luzon has been victorious, and many wealthy families along the coast have been purged, but most of the clans of the dynasty are still cultivating and reading heirlooms, rather than business-oriented, even if there are many children in the business family, there are many children from the business industry, so it is more advocating the old rites of the country rather than the country, and it still has its own fertile soil!" ”

"And in fact."

"The greater reason why this expedition to Luzon was able to win a big victory with troops was not because the new rite was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but because of His Majesty's holy might!"

"After all, the reason why the people of the world support the conquest of Luzon is because His Majesty asked them to support it, not that they really have this determination, and even if the king does not approve, they will not continue to make trouble, or even make trouble, they will only accept the reality."

Zhu Yijun shook his head after hearing this: "What the master said is that if the future Son of Heaven forcibly attributes the sale of subscription coupons only to the powerful, as long as the people of the world are still alive, they will not resist, even if they are dissatisfied, they only dare to be dissatisfied in their hearts, who makes this Chinese land too rich and prolific, as long as you reduce your desires, you can survive many people, and you will not resist until there are so many people that you can't live no matter how abstinent you are." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Because of this, the foolish ministers still lack confidence in the new rites."

Shen Shi Xing returned.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I have to believe that the people of the world will change with the efforts of me and my master." ”

"We don't let the prince face this change now, he will face this change himself in the future, and what we have to do is only to give him the ability to analyze and think, instead of blindly instilling it, just blindly instilling it, even if he supports the new rite now, he will not support it in the future, and when he is guided, even if he has doubts about the new rites now, he will have doubts about the old rites in the future."
