Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 358 Grant

At the same time, these people also need to learn the firearm tactics he wrote.

After he created the flintlock and the Napoleon cannon, it represented the arrival of the age of firearms.

If you want to become a powerful army and still use the old cold weapon warfare method, then you will be out of date.

Now, although the 5000 people are only security personnel in name, Zhang Qingfeng completely treats them as an army for training.

As long as they are well-trained and equipped with powerful firearms, they will become the most elite army of Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhang Qingfeng left most of the things to his subordinates, listening to reports every day was enough for him to be busy.

However, he can still spare a few days a month to participate in the training of the security forces.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Emperor Wanli called and appointed Zhang Qingfeng as the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, and was given the title of Taibao.

For Zhang Qingfeng, an eunuch who was appointed as the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, there was an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Many ministers thought that how could an eunuch be the teacher of the eldest grandson.

The grandson of the emperor represents the future emperor, and the teacher of the emperor has always been monopolized by Confucian literati.

Many Confucian literati will instill Confucianism in the future prince when he is still young, hoping to turn the emperor into what they want.

For example, Zhu Youjian, the later Emperor Chongzhen, was limped by the Confucian scholars around him since he was a child.

What the Confucian scholars taught him was how bad eunuchs were, the harm done by eunuchs' intervention to government affairs in history, and so on.

In history, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen became emperor, he immediately began to suppress and abolish eunuchs.

Then he found that without the eunuch, he would be exhausted, and countless memorials needed to be approved by him day and night.

After holding on for several years, he could no longer hold on, so he could only resume some eunuch duties.

But that was the case, and he was exhausted after more than ten years in power. He was only in his 30s, and he had gray hair all over his head.

Back to the point.

The teacher of the future king is a position that Confucian civil servants must contend for.

Now that they see an eunuch who has become the teacher of the future prince, how can they not jump their feet.

Therefore, after traveling to the Ming Dynasty for nine years, Zhang Qingfeng finally experienced what it was like to be impeached by a group of officials.

There were various charges against Zhang Qingfeng, some saying that as an eunuch, he was not worthy to be the emperor's eldest grandson's teacher.

Some also said that he smelled of copper all over his body, and he couldn't teach the emperor's eldest grandson badly.

Someone else listed him as a crime of embezzlement, and embezzled 200 million taels of silver, and said it convincingly.

Such impeachment made Emperor Wanli laugh in anger.

Others may not know it, but Emperor Wanli must know that with Zhang Qingfeng's talent, it is not easy to earn 200 million taels for himself.

He believed that a sow could climb a tree, but he would not believe that Zhang Qingfeng embezzled 200 million taels of silver.

Even if Zhang Qingfeng wants money, does he need to embezzle?He directly took 200 million from the internal treasury as his own, and Emperor Wanli probably didn't have any objections.

Emperor Wanli ignored the memorial to impeach Zhang Qingfeng.

However, facing the attitude of the officials like mad dogs and the civil and military attitudes of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Wanli still made a compromise.

In addition to appointing Zhang Qingfeng as the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, he also selected two people from the Imperial Academy and the cabinet to be teachers of the emperor's eldest grandson with Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Qingfeng became the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, which many people did not expect at the beginning, but thinking about Zhang Qingfeng's identity, many people can understand why Emperor Wanli did this.

Daming is recognized as the most knowledgeable person, isn't that enough?
If a person who can memorize more than 3 million words in the entire Yongle Canon is not qualified to be the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, who is capable of becoming the emperor's eldest grandson's teacher?

Zhang Qingfeng himself was quite satisfied with being the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, and he also hoped that in the process of imparting knowledge, he could quietly instill some ideas that he wanted to instill in the emperor's eldest grandson.

April [-]th was the day when Zhang Qingfeng accepted the apprenticeship of the emperor's eldest grandson.

Early in the morning, Zhang Qingfeng tidied up his clothes, and then entered the palace in a carriage.

In addition to Zhang Qingfeng, Zhu Youjian's teachers, one is Sun Chengzong, editor of the Imperial Academy, and the other is Ye Xianggao, an assistant minister of the cabinet.

"The boy pays homage to Mr. Ye Ge and Mr. Sun."

Outside the palace gate, Zhang Qingfeng saluted Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong.

"Zhou's palm print is polite."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong were also more polite.

Although Zhang Qingfeng is an eunuch, and civil servants have always been at odds with eunuchs, but when Zhang Qingfeng was in charge, the two of them still knew that it was best not to offend if they were not to be offended.

The two of them will not be stupid like in the novel, deliberately antagonize the protagonist, and then let the protagonist slap him in the face.

Judging from what Zhang Qingfeng has done in recent years, it has not harmed the interests of the civil servants, and they have no need to offend Zhang Qingfeng.

The eldest grandson of the emperor has a step-by-step etiquette for apprenticeship, and it took a whole morning to complete all the etiquette of apprenticeship.

After paying homage to their teachers, the three of them are considered to be Zhu Youxiao's teachers.

Zhu Youxiao is five years old this year. At present, his main task is to teach him how to read and write.

"Elder Ye Ge, Master Sun, let's discuss the content of the lecture?" After apprenticeship, Zhang Qingfeng, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong said.

"Okay!" After hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the two of them were extremely happy.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed about teaching the eldest grandson's lessons.

At the beginning, it must be discussed how to teach the emperor's eldest grandson to read.

The Ming Dynasty's enlightenment books were of course Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand-Character Classics, and Three-Character Classics. These three books together were called Bai Sanqian.

These three books contain most of the common words used by literati of this era.

In the end, the three people discussed it and each of them taught one book. Zhang Qingfeng taught the book "Jiao Zi Jing", Sun Cheng taught "Hundred Family Names", and Ye Xianggao taught "Qian Zi Jing".

After the grandson of the emperor has learned enough to read and grow up, he can teach the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as some Confucian principles.

"Qingfeng, thanks to your help these years, my school brother will rely on your guidance to become a talented person in the future." In the Ciqing Palace, Prince Zhu Changluo patted Zhang Qingfeng on the shoulder and said.

"Your Highness is being polite, I will definitely do my best to teach His Highness the grandson well." Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhu Changluo.

At this time, Zhu Changluo's mother, Concubine Wang Gong, also said to Zhang Qingfeng. "Ever since you left Jingyang Palace, it has been difficult to see you. Now it's better. You have become my schoolmate's teacher. We can get closer in the future."

"Yes!" Zhang Qingfeng was also quite emotional.

Historically, although Zhu Changluo became the prince, Concubine Gong's life was still miserable.

After Zhang Qingfeng crossed over, everything became different.

Zhang Qingfeng did not go to the Prince's Mansion until the third day after the apprentice ceremony.

In the past two days, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong went to give lectures to the emperor's grandson.

Today, naturally it was Zhang Qingfeng's turn.
