Domineering Daming

Chapter 1097 New Books

The cabinet hall is still relatively empty.

For one thing, the third floor is Zhu Xu's place. Although there are many people, most of them belong to eunuchs, who are cautious and rarely lively.

The second level is reserved for the National Assembly, which has not yet been established. It will not be completed until early next year, when the provinces select good people and send them to Beijing.

The third floor is for the cabinet. The cabinet has the largest number of people now, but because many cabinet ministers are absent and they have just moved in, it is not as grand as the previous cabinet.

Before it was too late, Zhu Xu tidied up and came down from above.

Officials coming and going in the road all stood in a hurry to salute.

Zhu Xu didn't realize it, and went straight out of the cabinet hall and turned back to Qianqing Palace.

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhang Yun was leading a few children, playing with some small toys on the soft bed.

Seeing Zhu Xu coming in, Zhang Yun got up quickly and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor."

Before Zhu Xu could react, Xiao Shuxian quickly crawled out from the pile of children, and shouted crisply, "Father...hug."

Zhu Xu stepped forward and said with a smile: "No courtesy, come, good daughter, father hugs you."

Saying that, she stretched out her hands and hugged Xiao Shuxian in her arms. The little girl immediately hugged Zhu Xu's arms with both hands, rubbed her head, and laughed.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, looked at the three sons Ciye, Cixuan, and Ciyi, and said with a smile: "Come on, come to the emperor's side, tell me, what did you do today?"

Little Ciye looked at Zhu Xu, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but obediently stood up, walked a few steps, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and asked little Ciye to sit on his lap. The other two little guys crawled over one after another, either squatting or sitting, and looked up at Zhu Xu.

"How are my sons, smart?" Zhu Xu teased the children and smiled at Zhang Yun.

Standing in front of Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun said with a smile, "I think so too, especially Ci Ye. Although I don't talk much, I think he is the smartest."

Little Ciye didn't know if he could understand, so he turned his head to look at "Mother's Empress", and then at Zhu Xu, with a quiet face.

The other two little guys didn't seem to wait for what Zhu Xu was going to do, they picked up the toy in their hands and fiddled with it.

On the other hand, Xiao Shuxian was hugging Zhu Xu, rubbing back and forth, scratching up and down, and giggling.

Zhu Xu teased for a while, and said: "Uncle Ping Wang will come later, you have someone prepare some meals, and send the little ones back later, it's too hot, you can't take care of it by yourself, let the palace Pay attention, don't get heat stroke, let the imperial hospital prepare some soup to cool down, the emperor's sister-in-law, especially the old concubine, must pay more attention, not to be overheated..."

Zhang Yun said: "Yes, all the courtiers and concubines are careful, don't worry about the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, hugged Xiao Shuxian in his arms, thought for a while, and said: "Ye'er is almost two years old, and he has to be enlightened. As for the teacher, you have discussed with Xie Yu, and you have discussed it. By the way, The emperor's wife has always been very concerned, and she talked to her, the candidate has been selected, and told me, I want to meet first, and hear how they arranged..."

The Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to the education of the princes. Although some emperors did not study much because of birth and palace battles, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Xu can't slack off.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun said: "Yes, my concubine will go back and ask my elder sister to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and listen to what the Empress Dowager thinks."

Zhu Xu said "hmm", turned to look at little Ciye, and said with a smile, "Ye'er, what do you want to learn, what book do you want to read?"

The little guy raised his head, held a wooden "robot" in his hand, and raised his face with a confused expression.

Zhu Xu suddenly laughed, and said: "It's okay, Father is here to make arrangements for you, and I promise to make you a prince who has both ability and political integrity, as well as both civil and martial arts!"

Zhang Yun looked at Zhu Xu, then at Xiao Ciye, pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, many maids have entered the palace recently, and many mistakes have been made. The concubine plans to open a school for some What does the emperor think of the experienced old palace people to teach?"

Zhu Xu was stunned, turned to look at Zhang Yun, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Yes. But you can't just teach and do things. When you are looking for a teacher for Ye'er, look for it by the way. The new maids all arrange time to go to class. Train them well, the imperial palace is the center of the world, everyone in the palace should be a role model for the world, and the palace maids are no exception, try to train them from an early age, by the way, Yongning and Shuxian are also going, they must be well taught, and they cannot be left alone... ..."

Zhang Yun didn't expect to involve the two princesses, blinked and said, "Yes, the concubine obeys the order."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, looked at the four children around him, and teased them for a while. Seeing Liu Shimin coming in, Zhu Xu let them go, and said to Zhang Yun, "I'll leave it to you. I have to go to Hall Four or Five."

"There are ministers and concubines here, the emperor can rest assured." Zhang Yun said with a smile.

Zhu Xu nodded, and just about to leave, Xiao Shuxian suddenly hugged Zhu Xu's waist and said loudly: "Father, sister, you are hungry..."

Zhu Xu turned around, rubbed the little girl's head, opened her two little hands, and said: "Let the queen mother take you to find elder sister, and elder sister has something delicious for you."

The little girl was about to come up, so Zhu Xu hurriedly walked a few steps. According to past experience, if she was slower, she would not be able to walk today.

The little girl yelled from behind and wanted to chase her, but Zhang Yun hurriedly stopped her, comforted her softly, hugged her and said a few words, waited for Zhu Xu to leave, and then went out with a few children.

Zhu Xu left the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Qianqing Gate. The Fourth and Fifth Halls were in Langfang, the original Sixth Division.

These four or five halls have been around for some years, but it has only been two or three years since a literary bigwig joined.

The decoration here is still more than ten years ago. The only advantage of the room is that it is large, can fit a lot of reading, and has enough aroma of books. People like to stay here.

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, many people, old or young, greeted him and hurriedly saluted: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, there is no need to be polite, I will just take a look."

The two Tao Shiling brothers were not keen on the court, seeing Zhu Xu's expression was a bit strange, but they still put down their pens politely, walked over and said: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, and said: "Mr. Ertao, there is no need to be polite. If you sit down, you will pretend that I don't exist."

Er Tao was originally a master of learning, and he didn't care much about the court. After Zhu Xu said so, they just sat down, as if Zhu Xu didn't exist anymore.

Zhu Xu didn't care, and walked forward with a smile.

Walking through open rooms one after another, turning a blind eye to the saluting people, his eyes swept over a book.

At this time, Gu Yanwu suddenly appeared, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, what do you want to see? I have stayed here for a while, so I can guide the way for the Emperor."

Zhu Xu glanced at him, and just about to speak, Liu Zongzhou got up and said: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu liked Liu Zongzhou very much. Although this person has low political ability, he is very knowledgeable. He is a master of a generation. He smiled and said, "I'll just take a look. What books are you editing recently?"

Liu Zongzhou looked calm, and said: "I am mainly responsible for compiling and unifying Confucianism, and strive to cover all the essence of my Confucianism up to now."

This is a great book!

Zhu Xu had only a half-knowledge of Confucianism, so he didn't ask any further questions. He looked at Gu Yanwu and said, "Take me to see what I asked to write."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Gu Yanwu hurriedly said, "The emperor is here with his ministers."

Zhu Xu walked forward with Gu Yanwu and came to a larger room, most of which were young people, and few old scholars.

These people looked at Zhu Xu, very disturbed, and stood aside.

Zhu Xu approached the table, picked up a copy, and saw the title page read: Outline of Jingzheng's New Deal.

Looking again, the above is quite detailed from the political system, to policies, structures, and local systems. In some places, the plan is more detailed than Zhu Xu thought. Some explanations, even he has never thought of it, can be regarded as inferences ,Lucky hit.

Zhu Xu looked at it carefully for a while, and then smiled with satisfaction: "This editor is not bad, keep going, and show me the edit."
