Chapter 622: The East Palace is taught, and the emperor is marching west
Zhu Changxun nodded as if he didn't understand.
The reason why he seems to understand or not understands is because although he Zhu Changxun is only eleven years old, he has a very high starting point, and he is already the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future monarch.
Therefore, no one around him will show him the ugly side of human nature, the people he comes into contact with, whether they are civil and military officials or eunuchs, are very friendly to him, and they will be very respectful on the surface, and they are also very cultivated in front of him, not flattering to the lower and not arrogant, even if they want to discipline him, it is also through the way of explaining knowledge, which makes it difficult for Zhu Changxun to feel how bad a person is.
But Zhu Yijun is his father, the Ming Emperor, and the emperor with many great achievements.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun's words are still very influential on him.
He still took Zhu Yijun's words to heart very seriously.
For him, who was still older than the court, he was more authoritative than the words of his husband.
However, Zhu Yijun can't teach him by word and deed all the time.
With Zhu Yijun's intention to personally conquer and quell the rebellion, the preparatory work alone seemed very busy.
Silver dollars flowed out of the inner treasury and the treasury like water.
Pan Jitao, who replaced Wang Xuan as the head of the household department, needed to determine with the British public Zhang Yuangong which expenses should be borne by the national treasury and which should be borne by the inner treasury.
At the same time, it is accompanied by a large number of personnel transfers and arrangements.
Zhu Yijun himself has to meet the queen mother of the two palaces, and meet the people in charge of the harem, and he has to explain.
In addition, he also had to give an account to the ruling minister who decided to stay in Beijing, after all, he still had to consider all kinds of accidents, if there was really a case of the capture of the civil fort or the fall of Qingjiangpu into the water, or even the fire in the palace and the serious fright, the consuls had to have a holy oracle to refer to and deal with.
In addition, he also had to pay tribute to the Taimiao, explain why he wanted to conquer himself, and ask his ancestors to bless his triumphant division, not to mention the handling of all kinds of persuasions to hinder the emperor's personal expedition and the stricter punishment of officials who reacted violently and did not hesitate to ambush and disrupt them.
Then there is the edict to let the prince supervise the country and other things.
Anyway, before he set out on the expedition, Zhu Yijun was too busy.
During this period, the crown prince Zhu Changxun was still studying in the East Palace as usual.
Because Zhu Yijun specially arranged to let Zhu Changxun listen to the words of a hundred schools, the people who give lectures to Zhu Changxun now are scholars from all major schools, such as the Hedong School and the Chongren School in science, as well as the Wangmen of Zhezhong and Jiangyou Wangmen in Wangxue, and the Taizhou School that is quite fond of Confucianism, as well as the Qi Monism School that is anti-rational.
"Your Highness, please talk about the theory that sharing the same desires with the people is the way to govern the country."
"Sex and taste, sex and color, sex and sound, sex and comfort, sex also!"
"Therefore, if people want to be natural, they must also follow the principles of heaven, and if they want to govern the country in accordance with the way of heaven, they must follow the desires of the people!"
On this day, it was snowing heavily, and it was raining all day.
Zhu Changxun did not stop attending class because of this, but came to the Wenhua Hall early with a hand stove and sat to listen to the lecturers give lectures to him.
In addition to his strong self-discipline taught by the emperor since he was a child, it is also related to the fact that his classes are becoming more and more interesting, even the most boring Confucian scripture courses are also very interesting because various Confucian schools have been arranged to give lectures to him, the prince.
Because these believers of various schools of Confucianism are unreservedly selling their knowledge to the prince, hoping to influence the prince to carry forward the knowledge of their own school, and then make it an orthodox official school.
On this day, the lecturer He Xinyin turned his back to the snowflakes falling outside the hall in high spirits, and said to Zhu Changxun that he was peddling his "fertility" and "sharing the same desire with the people".
But as soon as He Xinyin finished speaking, the lecturer Guo Zhengyu couldn't wait to interrupt He Xinyin and hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, the words of He Fushan are not the learning that can be restrained by famous teachings, and Your Highness should not believe it!"
"As Mr. Kang Zhai (Wu and Bi) said, 'People must stand firm in poverty and suffering, restrain roughness, make the heart pure, do not complain about the sky, do not care about people, forget things and me, only know the reason', the way to govern the country with the desire of the people, so, in the end, let the king obey the people, and the people obey the king?"
"So, it can be seen that this is a fallacy!"
"Mencius said that the king is light, the people are precious, and the society is secondary, and the king rules the world for the people, isn't it the king who obeys the people?"
He Xinyin asked Guo Zhengyu.
"Fallacy! He Fushan, your words are in the benevolent government advocated by Mr. Bad Yangming, 'the noble and the lowly are orderly, and the elders and the young are different', and today I will never let people like you mislead Your Highness! ”
Guo Zhengyu suddenly shook his lips in frustration, and pointed at He Xinyin and said loudly.
He Xinyin bowed his hand to Zhu Changxun and said: "Your Highness, what the minister said is not a fallacy, but the truth!" The water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, how can the holy lord Renjun disobey the will of the people since ancient times, Master Guo obviously only cares about maintaining dignity and humility, forgetting that the truth is the truth! ”
Zhu Changxun nodded: "There is some truth, so it is the responsibility of politicians to make the people rich?" ”
"Your Highness is really wise!"
"If you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you must follow their desires."
He Xinyin replied with a smile, but at this time, Guo Zhengyu couldn't help but wave his fist and hit He Xinyin: "The thief who misleads His Highness should be punished!" ”
He Xinyin is quite martial arts, so he reacted quickly and dodged it, and gently stretched his foot and hooked it, Guo Zhengyu fell to the ground, and his nose and face were swollen on the spot.
"Interesting! Interesting! ”
Seeing this, Zhu Changxun couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Master He used to know martial arts. ”
"I don't dare to hide it from Your Highness, the minister does know some martial arts, but now that he is old, he can't lift a sword, so he can only bully and bully the bad old man."
He Xinyin replied.
Zhu Changxun laughed after hearing this, and asked, "The bad old man that Master He said is Master Guo?" ”
He Xinyin just smiled slightly.
"What a thief, you deceive people too much!"
Zhu Changxun was busy asking people to help Guo Zhengyu up, and asked people to help Guo Zhengyu go down to heal and rest.
"Master He, it's not good to be like this, Master Guo is also a learned and Hongru, how can you make him so unbearable."
Zhu Changxun said.
Guo Zhengyu, who was being helped down by the eunuchs, was quite moved when he heard this, and said: "Your Highness has benevolence, and the blessing of the community!" ”
He Xinyin said at this time: "Your Highness, the body and the Tao are one, and those who do not respect the body of one person are the way of not respecting this person, that is, the personality cannot be insulted, if insulted, it must be returned to the color, and the revenge defense cannot be overnight!" ”
"Therefore, since Master Guo wants to beat the minister with his fists first, the minister must return the tooth with a tooth, and Fang is the act of a gentleman who defends the way!"
"Your Highness will be the king in the future, and the same should be true for those who violate the country's social standards, so as to protect the country!"
Zhu Changxun didn't say much about He Xinyin's words, and just waited for the next lecturer to talk about another science.
Because Zhu Changxun has received too many views on the so-called right way of governing the country, many of them are very contradictory, so Zhu Changxun is no longer sure who to believe, but only more convinced that what his father said is right, people's positions are different, and their opinions are different, and they will also say that their own ideas are the truth, so even if they are logically correct, they will often be blind and generalize, and learners should have their own thinking, combined with their own actual situation to use a certain person's proposition, and even do not have to stick to only one person's proposition.
Therefore, Zhu Changxun no longer directly expressed his position, but he is also more tolerant and will not directly find out who is wrong.
After the scripture class, there is the arithmetic class.
This is a class that Zhu Changxun likes very much, because the number is sincere, what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, even if he wants to use strong words, it is not okay, which makes it easy for Zhu Changxun to see that some arithmetic masters who want to prove themselves better have to admit that they are wrong.
Today's arithmetic class for Zhu Changxun is Shuai Jiamo, who relied on his mathematical ability to solve tax malpractices in the silk case.
A white body with no merit and fame, because of his outstanding talent in mathematics, won the first place in the new arithmetic subject and became an official, and now he has become a lecturer in the East Palace, which was unimaginable before.
But it did happen in the Wanli Dynasty.
The symbolism in this is not insignificant.
However, how Zhu Changxun learned arithmetic knowledge from Shuai Jiamo, I will not say it here, only say that Emperor Wanli was going to go to Beijing to conquer the northwest.
At the end of the winter of the nineteenth year of Wanli, after more than a month of preparation, Zhu Yijun led the Son of Heaven's pro-army guard and the Beijing camp soldiers and horses out of Beijing, and marched out of Beijing to the west.
Although the cold wind pierces the face, the snow sinks deep into the horse's hooves, and even the dead vines and old trees are all dead branches and leaves, the sun shines on the people, but it still makes the people who go out feel a little warmth germinating in the cold weather.
It seems that the air contained in the ice crystals is also quite refreshing after being breathed into the lungs, and the white gas that comes out of the breath is swirling under the blue sky, which only makes people more energetic!
The armor, bronze cannons and steel guns decorated with golden light made the imperial soldiers majestic in the crunching marching pace.
Shen Yongmao, who became the official of the six guards of the Son of Heaven's pro-army Jin Wuwei because of his father's wishes, also went out with the Son of Heaven to fight, and his eyes became more determined, and he felt that he was particularly glorious, and after seeing that the officers and soldiers were in good spirits, he felt that this imperial expedition would be like a Xuan Temple, opening a greater prosperous era, rather than an example of a civil fort, which made the momentum of the dynasty suffer a big setback.
Zhu Yijun stood on the horse-drawn train, looking at the slowly retreating houses, trees, cattle and sheep, and the sergeant like the iron stream, he was also very excited, and held the sword in his hand and looked ahead.
There was the sound of reading in front of me.
Pleasant.
Since leaving Beijing, Zhu Yijun has seen a lot of schools along the way.
Wherever the official track passes, a school will appear every once in a while.
Some of the teachers who give lectures in social studies are still disabled veterans who can only use wheelchairs, still wearing fat jackets, and giving lectures to the children of military families in the revitalized health school.
Zhu Yijun is very happy about this.
Because there are many schools, it means that there are more people who read, and more people who read means that the Ming Dynasty is indeed moving towards prosperity, and there are many ordinary children who can study without production.
