Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao, on a battlefield that simulates a chessboard, kill back and forth.

Zhu Youzhu wanted to listen to it for a while, so he went in and scolded him, and asked Zhang Zhou to teach his son the content of the Four Books and Five Classics.

After all, Zhu Youzhu is not good at martial arts, and every father's original intention is to hope that his son can be like himself.

But when Zhu Youzhu found out that the sand table exercise that Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao were playing was not just for fun, but also contained various tactical concepts, Zhu Youzhu couldn't bear to go in and interrupt.

“…… The weather judged, the dice were dotted, six, it was heavy rain, it was broken, and my infantry could only camp! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's a pity, although you have surrounded my two groups of men and horses, but the weather is not right, this rain, my cavalry still has the speed of marching, you don't even have the qualifications to catch up with our men and horses in a decisive battle."

"Alas!"

A sigh, but it came from Zhu Youji.

Because Zhang Zhou originally played with Zhu Houzhao, the scene was relatively small, and the situation was clear to Zhu Youzhi at a glance, and Zhu Youzhu also discovered that this was probably the best and only chance for his son to win.

As a result, because of the weather, the encirclement that his son painstakingly arranged failed to trap Zhang Zhou's cavalry......

After this opportunity was over, Zhang Zhou's rest of the troops could quickly make a detour behind the enemy and take Zhu Houzhao in the rear, which was not guarded by soldiers and horses, one by one.

"It's still too aggressive." Zhu Youzhu sighed softly.

"Your Majesty?"

Dai Yi was also a little puzzled when he heard it next to him.

The emperor is actually like his son, devoting himself to this game, as if father and son are connected?

In front of me, it shouldn't be regarded as learning, this should also be playing, isn't the father here to teach his son a lesson and let his son study hard?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the three cities in your rear have all been captured by the ministers, and the Crown Prince has lost!" Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao was very disciplined when he played, and when he lost, he didn't pay so much attention to the rules, and threw the flag in his hand to the ground: "The surname is Zhang, you are so bold, dare to win the palace?" ”

These words almost made Zhu Youji, who was hiding on the side, spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

I just thought my son was making a little progress, but he came to this set after he lost?

The original form is revealed!

Zhang Zhou said calmly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged, if the prince can't even face the most basic victory and defeat calmly, how can he be consistent in governing the country?" ”

"You...... What qualifications do you have to teach Hongu? Zhu Houzhao was not convinced, but in his heart he was still convinced.

What's more......

This game seems to be interesting only when he plays with Zhang Zhou, and he still doesn't understand many rules, so he expects Liu Jin and them to play with him?

Don't be the same as listening to martial arts scripts, a group of donkeys don't have the same lips as horses.

Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, he knows very well that Zhang Zhou is not his lecturer, and he is not obliged to accompany him in the East Palace all day long, and at this time he can only learn to be soft first.

"But you have some truth in that." Zhu Hou adjusted according to the words, and the person seemed to be a lot more humble, "You play another game with me, I will definitely win this time." ”

Liu Jin next to him hurriedly patted his ass: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this thing was made by Zhang Jieyuan, he must have played with people many times, and he is familiar with the tactics, so he has only played two games, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much better than the first game, and you almost surrounded and annihilated his soldiers and horses." ”

Zhu Houzhao is very victorious, and he doesn't like others to make sycophants when it is inappropriate.

If I win, I'll be happy if you pat me on the back.

I'm losing now, what do you tell me to lose less should win, I want to stick the soles of my shoes on your face.

"Phew! You can't open your eyes, you don't look at it, he let the palace give nearly twice as many people to the palace, and the palace still loses! Is the difference in strength a little bit and a half? "Zhu Houzhao is still wise, knowing that he used his tactics inappropriately.

Zhu Youji, who was not far away, heard this, and his heart instantly felt a little more comfortable.

The son not only learned to be a corporal of Lixian, but also learned to judge the situation, and he actually understood that Zhang Zhou still let him on paper.

But when he really got on the "battlefield", Zhang Zhou played with Zhu Houzhao really, which made Zhu Houzhao realize that he could win the game without relying on the majesty of the prince.

It depends on your own strength.

Zhang Zhoudao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, what the minister is simulating is the battlefield in the northwest of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "What do you say? ”

Zhang Zhou pointed to the sand table: "Prince, please look here, it can be regarded as Datong Town, this side is Xuanfu, and the pass next to it is my Daming border gate." ”

Not only Zhu Houzhao and a group of eunuchs around him were looking, but even Zhu Youji couldn't help but take a look.

Although the mapping of the Ming Dynasty is not very accurate, from the perspective of topography and orientation, Zhu Youzhi knows very well that Zhang Zhou is not a lie.

Zhang Zhou continued: "I simulated the Tatar side, because my main soldiers and horses are light cavalry, the speed of marching is fast, and the combat effectiveness is higher than that of the infantry, the goal is not to capture the city, but to quickly break through and seize the fortresses and villages everywhere. ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "This palace understands, the Tatars just like to come to my Ming Dynasty to plunder the border, they just rely on their own horses to be fast, even if their number of soldiers and horses is small, it is a little difficult to surround them, it is really nerve-wracking." ”

When these words came out, Zhu Youzhi was impressed.

The simplest truth is not a profound strategy for ordinary soldiers, but for a child who is only eight years old, it is rare for him to be able to understand this layer without being specially taught.

Zhu Youzhu didn't know that his son was really good at this.

Zhu Houzhao has been a king who advocates martial arts since he was a child.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhou is familiar with history that he will take advantage of Zhu Houzhao's time when he is still a bear child, and prescribe the right medicine to his liking.

Zhang Zhoudao: "His Royal Highness the Prince's side, most of them are heavy cavalry and infantry, and they are very slow, and they are more affected by the favorable time and place, just like before, the prince obviously had the opportunity to form a siege on the people and horses I ventured into, but because of the unfavorable factors of the weather, it could not be completed." ”

"Hey, hey." Zhu Houzhao's small eyes were shining, "Do it again, I will definitely win next time." ”

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, when we are in the next game, we will increase the option of recruiting troops, all the soldiers, horses, grain and grass need to be raised by themselves, which will increase the setting of resources." ”

What Zhang Zhou wants to play for Zhu Houzhao is like a strategic simulation game.

But after all, the conditions are limited, which requires the person who sets up the game to tell more, and then the layout is arranged by multiple people who accompany the game, and there must be a referee...... Probably only in this place is the palace, where so many people can be dispatched at their disposal, to support the scene of this kind of game.

"Then tell me, how to recruit soldiers?" Zhu Houzhao refused to admit defeat.

Anyway, the basic conditions are almost the same, and he still has an advantage, this game is so fun, just because of his appetite for martial arts, he has more thoughts to listen to Zhang Zhou's rules.

……

……

Just before the game started, Zhu Youzhu finally walked out.

Originally, Zhu Youzhu wanted to hide for a while, but his arrival, after all, was gradually discovered by the permanent attendants of the East Palace, and in the end, even Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Zhou discovered him by following the eyes of the inner servants.

"Father!"

Zhu Houzhao is usually not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he can see his father, a little like a chicken seeing an eagle.

I don't know if it's pretending, at least on the surface, it looks much more well-behaved.

"Minister Zhang Zhou, see Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded, "Prince, Zhang Qing's family, what are you doing?" ”

I peeked at it for a long time, but I still had to pretend that I had just arrived.

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Father, this is Zhang Qing's family for the son, said that it is called a sand table exercise, you can simulate a war on it, divided into different arms, now the son has just learned, there are only three kinds of light cavalry, heavy cavalry and infantry, it is said that there are many other types of troops, including the necessary to conquer the city, and you can also increase the options of the general......

Zhu Houzhao looked excited, thinking that his father liked this game as much as he did, and was actively promoting it.

But Zhu Youzhu suddenly straightened his face and said, "Didn't you study hard?" ”

“……”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

It turns out that Daddy doesn't like ...... What is the waste of your son's saliva?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, it was a dereliction of duty for the minister to fail to tutor the prince in his schoolwork. ”

"No, it's none of your business."

When Zhu Houzhao heard that Zhang Zhou was admitting his mistake, he thought, you bastard, I thought that the palace couldn't see that you didn't want to play with the palace, and deliberately told my father that you didn't teach the palace well, and wanted my father to kick you out?

It's not that easy.

"Father, you can't wronged your son, you can't wronged Zhang Qing's family, your son first memorized the scriptures and meanings before coming out, and the son-in-law also learned more "Annotations on the Analects", if your father doesn't believe it, let people show it to your father!"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly waved his hand to Liu Jin and the others.

Liu Jin also hurriedly went to hand over the homework that Zhu Houzhao had memorized before to the emperor.

Zhu Youzhu looked down at the handwriting on the rice paper...... Crooked, sure enough, it was his son's handwriting.

"Is this what you receive?" Zhu Youzhu was also a little surprised when he saw it, and it was full of two pages of brush words.

After all, it has been less than a year since the prince came out of the pavilion to give lectures, and now the lecturer of the East Palace will not assign too much homework, Zhu Youzhu summed it up a little, and if he changed the usual, it is estimated that it is enough for this stinky boy to do his homework for two or three days, right?

Zhu Houzhao said: "Yes, Erchen memorized it first, and then wrote it down silently, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhang Qing's family." ”

Zhu Youji's face was relieved when he heard this, and he was even slightly pleased.

He didn't even have to ask.

Not to mention that these are memorized, even if they are copied by his son, he, who is a father, will feel satisfied.

When have you ever seen your son study so hard before?

Zhang Zhoudao: "It is true that the prince is silent, but there are still mistakes in it, and the prince should correct it in time." ”

"Bingkuan." Zhu Youzhu put down his son's homework and said with a smile, "If the prince has any mistakes, you will often come to correct him in the future and teach him well, I also hope that he can become a Ming monarch in the future." ”

Zhu Houzhao wrinkled his nose: "Father is in the spring and autumn period, why are you talking about this?" The son only wants to be a good courtier of the Ming Dynasty under the wise leadership of his father. ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a straight face: "Sooner or later, you will be responsible for the Jiangshan Sheji." But you have to read hard...... I have other things to do, you ...... Go on. ”

"Father, did you let your sons play this?" Zhu Houzhao grinned, with indescribable joy on his face.

It seems that my father has never recognized himself so much.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and touched his son's head and said, "I'm not unreasonable, as long as you study hard, I won't punish you for proper frolic." And I think...... This sand table exercise is very interesting, learn hard! ”

"The retainers obey." Zhu Houzhao jumped high.

can not only have fun, but also be recognized by his father, which is also full of accomplishment for Zhu Houzhao.
