Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu walked among the crowd, feeling the popularity, feeling very cordial in his heart.

The little guy seemed to be seeing so many people for the first time. He opened his eyes wide, stared and looked around, and wanted to break away from Zhu Xu several times and run out.

Zhu Xu looked at it, and bought him toys, food, and good-looking ones. After a while, the little guy was covered in piles, and his little face was full of excitement, and his two little hands kept busy. swing around.

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face.This little guy finally showed his childlike nature.

"It seems that we should let him come out more." Zhu Xu looked at the happy little Ciye and whispered to himself.

Zhu Xu and his group crossed the Sanli River and came to the gate of the Royal Political Court.

Song Yingxing and Zhang Rongju were already waiting. When they saw Zhu Xu, they hurried forward and said, "I will see you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, looked at Xiao Ciye beside him, and said, "There's still this."

Song Yingxing and Zhang Rongyu were taken aback for a moment, and immediately said to Xiao Ciye: "I have seen His Royal Highness the First Prince."

The little guy was taken aback by the actions of the two of them. He still had two colorful small fans in his hands. He looked at the two of them, and then turned to look at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Excuse me, let's go in and have a look. Is there any special class today?"

Song Yingxing is now in charge of the Royal Political Council, and Zhang Rongzhen is Zhang Yun's uncle, who has obtained the title of earl and is now the vice president of the Royal Political Council.

Song Yingxing followed Zhu Xu, and said, "Returning to the emperor, there are many public lectures today, among which Mr. Ji Shan is talking about 'Careful Duty', Mr. Lian Shan is talking about 'Searching Things', and Wang Shouchun is talking about universities..."

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly when he heard this. These are all great Confucianists, so he may not be able to understand what he said, let alone Xiao Ciye, said: "Is there anything else? More interesting?"

Song Yingxing didn't know what Zhu Xu's "interesting" meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, there is a literary meeting in Xiaomeiyuan, where young people are discussing the 'New Deal gains and losses'. Is your majesty interested in going to see it? ?”

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, but he was interested, and said: "Is there anyone who can recognize me?"

Song Yingxing hesitated for a while, and said: "The emperor has come to the Royal Political Council quite a few times, I'm afraid someone will recognize it."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Then let's go, by the way, how is your "Heavenly Creation" writing?"

Song Yingxing's work of heaven is actually a summary and development of natural science. It is very philosophical, logically clear, and simple to prove. If this book can be published, Zhu Xu's "New Deal", especially in In terms of thinking, it will be a big help.

Song Yingxing followed Zhu Xu, and said: "The way is too precise, I can't speculate rashly, many things need to be verified one by one, I am only writing the first volume at present, and the verification may take several years, if it is finished... I will not be able to do it in my lifetime... Dare to say."

Although Zhu Xu was impatient, he still praised Song Yingxing's attitude.

The literati at this time were quite stubborn, especially when it came to their writings.

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Well, write slowly, and show me when you finish writing. That 'two qi and five elements' is very interesting, and I hope you will continue to write."

Knowing that Zhu Xu paid close attention to him, Song Yingxing looked excited, and said: "Yes. I and many colleagues are stepping up their research. If there is any gain, I will definitely present it to the imperial court."

Chapter 1102 The Wind of Benevolence

Accompanied by Song Yingxing and others, Zhu Xu walked on the bluestone path of the Royal Political Academy.

Song Yingxing is rigorous, and his book will not be published for a while, and Gu Yanwu is also, his book is still in the initial stage, and it needs too much time to study and verify.

Zhu Xu knew that he was too impatient, so he said patiently: "There are a few new books compiled by the Fourth and Fifth Halls. Use it as a teaching material."

Song Yingxing has heard this kind of words once before, and said: "Yes, I understand. Times have changed, and my Ming Dynasty is at a critical moment. We need to use new methods, new eyes, and new attitudes when looking at things. We are also reviewing and researching more reasonable teaching materials, focusing on cultivating students' pragmatic attitudes and strengthening their ability to deal with practical affairs..."

Zhu Xu was very satisfied with Song Yingxing's attitude.In the past, when he said many things, the six ministries of the cabinet always had an ambiguous attitude, which required him to exert repeated pressure, but Song Yingxing was more receptive in this regard, and even said that this was his original idea, and Zhu Xu didn't need to say too much. No pressure needed.

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "I know that there are too many problems now, and many people have different opinions, hinder each other, and things that hinder each other happen from time to time. I have a way to deal with this in the court, but in the Political Yuan and the subordinate All the academies, colleges, etc., must make their minds clear, they can’t be suppressed, blocked, it’s better to be sparse. If there are any problems, they should hold meetings, hold conferences, and hold meetings frequently until their thoughts are clear! , A sage is nothing to be afraid of. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. We must move forward boldly, and learn to verify when we encounter doubts.

Although Zhu Xu's words have been said in arms, but the intention of questioning the "sage" has been clearly revealed.

Song Yingxing originally had the idea of ​​"seeking truth" in his studies, and he agreed with Zhu Xu's words, but Zhang Rongyu frowned, looked at Zhu Xu's back, and hesitated to speak.

Zhu Xu and the others were walking in a small forest, and just about to say something, Cao Huachun suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu paused, turned his head to look, and saw little Ciye squatting on the bluestone of the path, looking at a bush on the side of the road.

Zhu Xu walked over and looked condescendingly, only to see a bird's nest in the grass, several chicks huddled together, their bodies were wet, as if they had just been exposed to rain.

Seeing Zhu Xu approaching, Xiao Ciye raised his head to look at him.

Zhu Xu looked at the little guy, but didn't speak.

Song Yingxing, Zhang Rongyu and others also surrounded him, looking at Xiao Ciye with a smile behind him.

The little guy looked at Zhu Xu, then at the three chicks, then at Zhu Xu, blinking, as if he wanted to say something.

The little guy's expressive ability is not enough, Zhu Xu squatted down, smiled and said: "If you think they are pitiful, you can pick them up and bring them back to the palace, so that your mother and concubine can raise them, so that they won't starve to death."

As soon as the little guy opened his eyes, he reached out and picked up the bird's nest, carefully placed it in his arms, and stood beside Zhu Xu.

Seeing this, Song Yingxing smiled and said to Xiao Ciye: "Your Highness, you can feed the chicks some steamed bread crumbs or small bugs. After about ten days, they will be fine. If they are bigger, you can let them fly away. .”

Little Ciye looked at the chick, then looked up at Song Yingxing and said, "Mother Concubine."

Although it was vague, Song Yingxing understood, and then he understood, looked up at the tree, and said: "Their mother has gone out and hasn't come back yet."

The little guy blinked, stretched out his hand, and handed the bird's nest to Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing was startled for a moment, unable to react.

Zhang Rongju suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a heart of benevolence, and cannot bear the separation of mother and child. Come and put the bird's nest on the tree."

Song Yingxing came to his senses, quickly took it, and handed it to a guard of the Political Yuan.

The guard took it, climbed up in two or three moves, and put the bird's nest in its original position.

The more smiles appeared on Zhang Rongju's face, he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a style of benevolence and virtue, which is really my great blessing."

Zhu Xu glanced at him. What does a child's disposition have to do with "benevolence". If someone like Zhang Rongzhen were to be Ci Ye's teacher, he might really teach a "benevolent person".

Zhu Xu ignored him, took Xiao Ciye's hand, walked forward again, and said, "Ye'er is almost two years old, and he can start enlightenment. The palace is looking for a teacher for him. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Song Yingxing said: "Back to the emperor, we have received the imperial edict from the empress dowager, but we haven't found a suitable one yet."

In fact, the education of the princes of the Ming Dynasty, especially the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest son, is generally in charge of the Imperial Academy and selected from the Imperial Academy. This is also the origin of "No Imperial Academy, no entry into the cabinet".Now that the harem directly asks the Royal Council to select them, it is indeed embarrassing for them.

What's more, the identity of the eldest son of the emperor is more complicated and sensitive. After all, the empress of the middle palace has nothing to do. If there is a son in the future, the eldest son of the emperor will not be so important.But if there is nothing to come out of the middle palace, then this is the future emperor who is certain!

"Jian Anbo, what do you think?" Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Rongyu.

Jian'anbo is the title of Zhang Rongyu.

Zhang Rongju stepped forward and said with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the selection of teachers for His Royal Highness is of great importance. I believe that the cabinet should select carefully so that there will be no mistakes."

Zhu Xu stopped walking, with his hands behind his back, rubbing his right index finger and thumb, and asked for a moment, "Is the imperial examination list out?"
