When the brothers left, the prince took Zhu Zhen into the Wenhua Palace.

This is the place where the prince reads and listens to lectures, and the decoration is simple and elegant. The 10,000 volumes of books on the huge bookshelves on the east and west walls make this Wenhua Hall full of bookish atmosphere.

The only one that shows the royal style is the wood-carved gold lacquer dragon chair, as well as those copper enamel and copper-gilded all kinds of richly decorated incense burners and luans, which are the furnishings that Zhu Yuanzhang will only use when he is driving.

Zhu Biao took Zhu Zhen and slowly walked in front of the long mahogany bookshelf, letting him see the rows of books, many of which were solitary books from the Tang and Song dynasties, and even bamboo slips and silk books from the Qin and Han dynasties.

"How much is this worth...... Zhu Zhen let out a vulgar sigh.

"Not bad." Zhu Biao was mistaken, touched the top of his head and said: "The crystallization of the wisdom of these ancient sages is indeed a priceless treasure. How can it be something useless? ”

"Big brother knows?" Zhu Zhen said. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really well-informed.

"Well, you three have been clubbing in the yard for a day, and I can still ignore it?" Zhu Biao saw that his lips were already frozen, and touched his earlobes again, feeling a little frostbite.

asked someone to bring the ointment, and while applying it to Zhu Zhen with his own hands, he said softly: "Don't learn from your second brother and fourth brother." They are born military generals, and they don't care if they can't study. Let them be literate and be able to read and understand military books and maps; It is enough to learn some more truths and sharpen their minds. ”

Zhu Zhen's mouth opened slightly, could the original requirements be so low?

"Then I will also be a military general." He's coming up right away.

"I think you just don't want to study!" Zhu Biao pinched his two cheeks, and scolded with a smile: "Silly boy, isn't it bitter to practice martial arts and practice?" No, it is ten times more painful and tiring than sitting in the main hall and studying. And you can also get injured and even die! ”

"You are so afraid of pain and death, do you really want to put pen to paper?" Zhu Biao let go of him as he spoke, walked to the desk, picked up a brush dipped in ink, and gestured to write:

"If you really want to, I'll write a note and let you follow Wei Guogong out of the Northern Expedition!"

"This ......" Zhu Zhen was kneaded into dough by the eldest brother, and hurriedly took his hand and said: "The younger brother is still young, and he can eat, isn't it causing trouble for others." ”

"Hmph, it's not bad for a mouthful of dry food." The prince put down the pen, twisted his right cuff with his left hand, and played his brain in a chic way:

"Now you know that you are different from your two brothers?"

"yes, got it." Zhu Zhen is very well-behaved.

"My father sealed them in Shaanxi and Beiping; Seal your third brother in Shanxi, and they are destined to lead troops to fight and defend the country for my Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao sighed, put his arm around Zhu Zhen's shoulders and said:

"It's their fate, and I can't help it. But you're different, you're still young, and the vassal state is in Huguang, so you don't have that much responsibility. ”

The prince pulled Zhu Zhen in front of him, squatted down and looked at him and said, "So the eldest brother doesn't want you to be too early, and wants you to stay and help me, are you willing?" ”

"Uh-huh, I do." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously, he felt that he was willing to do anything for his eldest brother. It's a shame......

"If you don't study, how will you help my eldest brother in the future?" Zhu Biaotu was poor and dagger-free.

"It turns out that you still have to persuade me to study......" Zhu Zhen's mouth pursed, and no one loved it:

"I just think that what they teach is useless, and I take a few broken books as the best in the world all day long, and turn them over and over to learn from the past. It seems that if you learn the trick of Kong Lao Er, you can do everything. ”

"Haha, there is spirituality, and it is really the material for reading." Zhu Biao was not angry but laughed and said: "I don't hear Cheng Zi said: Exhausting things is not to exhaust the things in the world, but in one thing, everything else can be inferred." ”

"Oranges? And oranges. Isn't he? Everyone knows that interlacing is like separating mountains, how can there be a universal truth in the world? Zhu Zhen retorted unconvinced.

"Hahaha, what you say is 'art', and what gentlemen teach is 'Tao'." Zhu Biao's knowledge is enough to beat Zhu Zhen, and he easily debunked his sophistry: "Cheng Zi means that if you first understand the Tao and then practice the arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you will be invincible." ”

"Uh......" Zhu Zhen is poor in words as soon as he drags the text.

"Have you ever heard of 'things have a beginning and an end, and if you know the order, you will be the shortest'?" The prince asked with a smile again.

Zhu Zhen shook his head.

"You don't even know the sentences in "University", how can you be embarrassed to say that people are useless?" The prince mocked mercilessly: "I think you can go to be a spokesman." ”

"I'm still a keyboard warrior, I ......" Zhu Zhen secretly complained to himself.

"So you give me an honest study now, and when you have thoroughly eaten all the teachings of my husband, if you still think it is useless, it is not too late to come to me to debate." The prince flicked his brain again and said:

"Even if I want to be able to understand their recitals and understand them scolding you when I deal with those civil officials in the future, I have to go to school well."

After finishing the matter, he coaxed him and said: "Such a smart brain, isn't it a piece of cake to learn that little thing?" ”

"Well, I know." Zhu Zhen hung his head, what the eldest brother said was right, this feeling of being refuted speechless was indeed too bad.

It's like being crushed intellectually......

In fact, in addition to the Four Books and the Five Classics, there are more practical books. For example, this book "University Yanyi" is about the way of governing the same and the principle of people's livelihood. My father liked it very, very much, and asked people to write it on the central hall of Wuying Hall so that they could watch it every day. Zhu Biao said, picked up a book from the bookshelf and said:

"It is said that this book is not something you should read at your age, but you kid, you can't be reasoned with normal theory, so you should be shocked by your kid."

Saying that, he handed the book "University Yanyi" to Zhu Zhen and said:

"Go back and read it and see if you still say it's useless."

"Hey." Zhu Zhen nodded and took it with both hands.

"By the way, do you know why this book is called "University Yanyi"?" Zhu Biao asked.

Zhu Zhen shook his head.

"Because it was written by the author Zhen Dexiu, who borrowed the meaning of "University", quoted Confucian classics and historical events, and attached his own words." The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled proudly: "So before reading this book, you have to eat the "University" thoroughly......

"Big brother is the real show!" Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Biao helplessly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really an old sow with bras - one set after another.

"Admire, admire!"

"Average." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "If you don't have any means for your brother, how can you discipline these wonderful brothers?" ”

"Okay, I'll learn." Zhu Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind and nodded vigorously.

"Good, good brother!" Zhu Biao stretched out his finger and said, "Come, let's hang ourselves on the hook, don't regret it!" ”

"Cut ......" Zhu Zhen snorted, always coaxing himself as a child.

However, he still obediently stretched out his finger and hooked with the eldest brother.
