Zhu Youzhu was determined to let Zhang Zhou preside over court affairs.

If the officials don't support it, then rectify you, and let you support it, if anyone is stubborn, then just let you go home and farm; If you don't support the mining in the local area, then rectify you, and when you are about to die, you will know whether you should support it or not.

Zhang Zhou can also feel this incomparable trust.

Even Zhang Zhou himself was thinking, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, an emperor like Zhu Youzhu who could trust others unconditionally was the only one, first Li Guang, then him, and even the Zhang family brothers, as long as it was the people and things that Zhu Youzhu recognized, he would not change even if he died.

In comparison, even Zhu Houzhao is not as good as his father.

Then Zhang Zhou went to the East Palace to give a lecture to Zhu Houzhao.

It's not really a lecture, the four books and the five classics, Wang Wei and other East Palace lecturers, will not be worse than him Zhang Zhou, and it can even be said to be better, Zhang Zhou doesn't need to teach Zhu Houzhao how to cater to the examiner, and he doesn't need to talk about exam-oriented education, anyway, he used to tell Zhu Houzhao something that others couldn't say.

"Is mining fun? Doesn't it mean that every miner is the kind of person who is very dark and can only get out after a long time of drilling? Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Zhou.

He didn't seem to understand why Zhang Zhou had gone out for so long for a matter of opening a mine.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You don't understand. You also have to learn to respect people. ”

"Don't I respect Mr. Zhang? Or does Mr. Zhang think that as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, everyone should be regarded as equal to me? I know what you mean, and I want to respect them too, but look at them......"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Gao Feng and the others standing at the door, as if to say, do you think they deserve my respect?

Zhang Zhou didn't say anything.

He also knows that Zhu Houzhao is good in terms of morality, children are still quite virtuous, and even the eunuchs around him will not be treated lightly, but the problem is that Zhu Houzhao still has the arrogance unique to royals, and he will feel that everything in the world is theirs, under this premise, Zhu Houzhao will have an innate prejudice, and everyone will have an alternative vision.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Opening an iron mine is different from opening a coal mine, you know why I open these mines?" ”

"I don't want to know."

Zhu Houzhao said, "I thought you were going to Liaodong to fight, but I was happy, and I asked my father to let me agree to go with you, I knew that you were just mining and didn't do anything else, so I didn't bother to go out with you!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be angry.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is coaxing him, but the only two people are different, one is his father, and the other is Zhang Zhou.

Even his mother didn't manage him like Zhang Zhou.

As he was talking, Gao Feng took something and said, "Your Highness, this is the military policy you wrote, do you want to show it to Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Nonsense." Zhu Houzhao said, "I have summarized for a long time, I feel that there are many problems in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and people with insight are needed to make changes, Mr. Zhang, I know that you have the ability, but no matter how capable the person is, it is impossible for one person to change the Ming Dynasty too much." Am I right? ”

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou nodded.

Zhang Zhou seems to be modest, but in fact, he is also thinking in his heart, who else can change the fate of the Ming Dynasty except me?

Give you face and recognize what you say.

But in fact......

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "So, you need me." ”

Zhang Zhou was also speechless when he heard it, this kid ...... It's completely narcissistic.,I've always felt that I'm capable.,That kind of arrogant and arrogant mind...... I don't know how to educate.

It's probably a common problem for bear children.

"You look at what I summarized, I think that if you want to lay down the grassland, you should send troops from Yansui, the terrain here is the best, and then take down the Western Regions, those places have actually been unobedient to the king for a long time, if you can take it, won't the territory of the Ming Dynasty be able to expand a lot? And you look at the north side of Liaodong, if it's too barren, we can put it first......"

Zhang Zhou held the military policy written by Zhu Houzhao in his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

This kid seems to take himself too seriously, and he actually talks seriously about military and political matters, as if he is a general who can lead troops to fight, and even formulates the overall situation.

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but think that if this kid really suddenly ascended the throne now, and still used these means, then the family business accumulated by his father would probably be cleaned up by him within a year or two.

It's just a child who hasn't grown up, his mind is so immature, he always thinks about attacking to resolve everything, he doesn't think about forbearance, and he doesn't think about how to completely crush it strategically, how to surrender without a fight.

"Wait."

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but stop the excited Zhu Houzhao.

"Sir, please comment." Zhu Houzhao looked excited, as if he was waiting for Zhang Zhou's praise.

Zhang Zhou asked, "You wrote all this?" ”

"yes." Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Of course, there are also people who have helped me take a closer look, such as Liu Jin, he is really a fucking talent, guess what?" He learned a lot in Yanwutang, and during the time you were not in Beijing, he was the internal official of the Admiral Yanwutang, so he found someone to write a few military policies for him if he had nothing to do, and let me show them, and then I learned a lot. ”

Zhang Zhou put down the so-called military strategy and asked: "Then do you think that only by fighting can all problems be solved?" ”

"Otherwise?" Zhu Houzhao heard that this should not be a good thing.

Next, it is probably to criticize his military strategy for being full of loopholes.

It seems that all the gentlemen in the world are in this tune.

Zhang Zhoudao: "If the pass of the Ming Dynasty is full of artillery, and every soldier is equipped with a firecracker, a team of 1,000 people can have no scruples on the grassland, at that time, is it important whether to conquer the grassland?" Why will the grassland fight with us then? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while.

"And at that time, the grassland will also take the initiative to surrender, just like today's Jurchen and Duoyan and other tribes, forced to accept the Ming Dynasty's gift, and can only be a courtier for the Ming Dynasty, so that it can not only conquer a place, but also conquer people's hearts, the world is peaceful, is it really that important whether to fight or not?"

After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao had already begun to go up and down.

"Sir, I don't think you're right, you still have to beat them down in order to convince them, what's the use of relying on deterrence alone?"

Zhu Houzhao is very martial.

Zhang Zhou can also see this, anyway, this kid has been a warmonger since he was a child, and he has a lot of whimsical things in his head.

If he is a little more ridiculous and gives him decades of time to govern the country, he may not be able to toss Daming into something.

The crisis of the Ming Dynasty has actually appeared in the Zhengde Dynasty, but many contradictions have not yet reached the time to break out, but it is certain that the Ming Dynasty has turned downhill.

Zhu Houzhao has his innocent and kind side, and he also has his ability, but it is more of a nonsense of non-kings governing the country, this kind of nonsense is not a good thing in governing the world, and it will bring Daming to the ditch.

"Then you think about it." Zhang Zhou said, "It's just the topic I gave you, the topic is the soldier who surrenders without a fight, as long as you can write this topic well, then I can ask Your Majesty to let you go out for a walk." ”

Essay Title.

Don't you kid like to write about military affairs?

Then I will give you a proposition essay, but I don't agree with the strategy you wrote about ending the war with war, I can't fully accept you as a warmonger, so I want you to give a compromise method, or you can fight, but it must be a war that can be stopped in moderation.

"You have the final say? I don't believe it. When Zhu Houzhao said this, he was already blinking.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The prince had better know that what Your Majesty hopes is that you can become a decent Confucian and be able to defend the Ming Dynasty, instead of always thinking about using some radical methods to solve problems." The same is true of the battlefield, even Your Majesty wants the military and political government of the Ming Dynasty to be stronger, instead of blindly seeking to win in a way that is constantly trying to win, otherwise Your Majesty would have sent me to the steppe to fight the Tatars! ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and suddenly nodded unconsciously.

It seems that he was persuaded by Zhang Zhou.

He also seems to know his father's character, and wants to fight but always has reservations.

"It's like a strategy game, remember the sandbox I gave you? If you want to win on the battlefield, there are many conditions for victory, there are all aspects, you don't do a good job of primitive accumulation, you only think about winning with surprise soldiers, have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose? ”

"What we want is the result of a hundred battles, not the strategic advantage of three or seven open, if you want to fight, you must win a battle!"

After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao rarely fell into deep thought.

Even Gao Feng and other eunuchs felt incredible when they saw it.

What the prince recognizes, there is still something that others can refute? This kid has always been stubborn, like a donkey.

"Think about it, think about it, write this policy again, after I finish writing, in addition to reading it, I will also show it to Your Majesty. That's all I can remind you, do I need to remind you again? Zhang Zhoudao.

"No, you don't." Zhu Houzhao shook his sleeves and said, "If you give more hints, is it me who wrote it, or did you write it?" Look at you! ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou didn't stay in the East Palace for too long, and Zhu Houzhao had to attend classes in the afternoon, and although Zhang Zhou was still a lecturer in the East Palace, he actually had no responsibility to speak, so he had to take the initiative to avoid it when other East Palace lecturers arrived.

Otherwise, it can be regarded as not giving face to colleagues.

Zhang Zhou's others can not give face, but Wang Wei still has to take care of it.

When Zhang Zhou came out, he also happened to see a group of East Palace lecturers talking, a group of people giving a lesson to one person, and everyone had to prepare for the class carefully...... Zhang Zhou thought to himself, who has better conditions than you Zhu Houzhao? I didn't teach you to be a human being...... You're a great talent......

"Bachelor Wang." When Zhang Zhou saw Wang Wei getting up and walking towards him, he couldn't help but take the initiative to greet him.

Wang Wei nodded, but first glanced at Gao Feng behind Zhang Zhou, Gao Feng was responsible for sending Zhang Zhou out.

Gao Feng knew each other very well and stood aside.

In fact, Wang Wei meant, just want to say hello to Gao Feng, although Gao Feng looks like nothing now, but as a permanent eunuch in the East Palace, he is likely to become a big man who cannot be climbed in the future, Wang Wei is mixed in the royal system, and he knows very well that he wants to have a good relationship with this group of eunuchs.

The promotion of ministers is about seniority, and the promotion of eunuchs in the palace depends on the mood of the emperor, now Zhu Houzhao is not the emperor, but he will be in the future.

"Has Your Majesty explained it to you?" Wang Wei said, "This township examination in Shuntianfu is conducted by you and me. ”

Because it has entered August, the township test will begin, and it stands to reason that this matter should be decided a few days before August 7th, that is, around August 4th.

That's what we're looking for.

Wang Wei obviously also knew that this time Zhu Youzhu wanted to give Zhang Zhou a chance to win prestige among academics and scholars, so Wang Wei was also ready to be his deputy in this matter.

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty mentioned it, but I didn't say too much. ”

Wang Wei nodded and said: "It's good to know, you should also study the exam questions more, come up with a few questions suitable for the luck, you and I will consider it, and there is no need to say it now, you have to wait until you enter the inner curtain before you present the exam questions on the paper for the first time, and don't accept the scholar's visit in advance." ”

As an old pedant, Wang Wei still habitually uses a didactic tone to talk to others.

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded.

Wang Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed, probably because he felt that Zhang Zhou was just Xie Yuan selected by him, and later Zhang Zhou's so many attainments didn't seem to have anything to do with his guidance, the two of them had very little contact time, and they couldn't claim to be the division commander.

Teach Zhang Zhou to do things?

Zhang Zhou's current status in the dynasty is not higher than that of his king?

"There is also the matter of the Hanlin Academy, you haven't been there for a long time, and the re-proofreading of the "Huidian" after it is written also needs manpower, and it has always been taken care of by Master Cheng before, so you are appropriate...... It should also help. ”

Wang Wei is reminding Zhang Zhou.

"Daming Huidian" you have always been the editor-in-chief, a lot of proofreading and other things, only you can complete, although now they are all published into books, but there are still some changes to be made in the follow-up...... Because this book is a book of rules and regulations, the times are changing, and the rules will also change.

Zhang Zhou also responded with a smile.

Will not.

Wang Wei and Zhang Zhou walked to the door for a while, always wanting to say something, but they were embarrassed to say it.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty also mentioned to me that it is Mr. Wang's high morality and respect, and he is among the best in the selection of candidates for the cabinet this time. ”

"Really?" Wang Wei's face was lukewarm, obviously he still had a lot of concerns about entering the cabinet.

has been saying that he wants to enter the cabinet, and things have been dragging on, and Wang Wei seems to be used to it.

What's more, Wang Wei, as the person concerned, seems to be very aware of the emperor's attention to Zhang Zhou's entry into the cabinet, and he seems to understand that the emperor has always been giving Zhang Zhou a chance.

Once Zhang Zhou enters the cabinet after him, how will the ranking be determined in the future?

Didn't the emperor want Zhang Zhou to be the first assistant?

Assuming that Zhang Zhou enters the cabinet first, then he, as a senior teacher, is willing to give Zhang Zhou a hand?

To others, this matter may not be a big deal, but for Wang Wei, it is enough for him to be entangled. (End of chapter)
