The happy life of a prodigal

Speaking of this, Chu Huang remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

In a flash, it has been more than half a year!

Emperor Chu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "The Academy of Arts and Sciences is the academy founded by Fang Xiu, right?"

Concubine Shu lowered her head and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, but although it was founded by Fang Xiu, the dean of the academy is Yayuan who passed the provincial examination the year before last, so..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "Yayuan?"

Concubine Shu nodded and said, "It's Yayuan, I don't know why."

The majestic Yayuan, if he participates in the general examination, the possibility of winning the first place is extremely high.

But he gave up this opportunity and went to teach in a small liberal arts college without a name.

Emperor Chu really couldn't understand.

At this time, Concubine Shu said again: "I also heard that the gentlemen of the Academy of Arts and Sciences are very strange. Some of them are Juren, and the other are rural peasants. Not to mention their fame, they may not even know the characters."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was stunned again.

Juren and the countryman, not to mention the world of difference, would not be related to each other anyway, but now they are in the same academy.

In the eyes of Emperor Chu, this is simply impossible.

After all, Emperor Chu was Emperor Chu. After being stunned for a moment, he returned to his normal expression. He didn't say anything, but said, "It's indeed an interesting place."

After a pause, he said again: "In a few days, let him go to Wenhua Palace to study."

After the words fell, Concubine Shu's heart skipped a beat again.

The Wenhua Palace is the place where the prince studies. In this way, His Majesty canonized the prince in the past few days.

The expression on Concubine Shu's face didn't change at all, but she was overjoyed in her heart, and after she was happy, she couldn't help feeling anxious again.

After panicking, some thoughts popped up involuntarily in my mind.

It's normal for His Majesty to confer the crown prince, no matter when, it must be canonized.

However, it seems a little too urgent now. Could it be that His Majesty has something to do?

Concubine Shu couldn't help feeling a little flustered...

Subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, so it's a bit too anxious, you can let Hao'er go back to the palace to study first, and then after a while..."

Before he finished speaking, a childish shout suddenly came from outside.

"Mother and concubine, my son is back!"

Then there was a burst of chicken and dog jumping.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you cannot go in!"

"This is my house, why don't you let me in!"

"Your Highness, listen to me..."

"Let him in."

Chu Huang's voice floated leisurely outside the house.

After hearing this, Liu Cheng hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, looking at Zhao Hao, he said, "Your Highness, you can go in now..."

Zhao Hao heard the voice, but his face showed excitement, he almost jumped up, and said loudly: "Father is here! I want to see Father!"

Pushing open the door of the room, I saw a familiar voice sitting in the middle of the room.

After Zhao Hao saw that figure, his face showed excitement, he almost jumped up in joy, jumped in front of Emperor Chu, and said, "Father, you have finally come to see Erchen, Erchen misses you so much!"

Emperor Chu looked at Zhao Hao, with a kind smile on his face, reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile, "Father also misses Hao'er."

"Since the father misses Hao'er, why doesn't he come to see Hao'er, why doesn't he let the minister go to see the father, after all, he still doesn't want to..."

Zhao Hao seemed to have thought of something, curled his lips, and said aggrievedly.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and just said: "I'm too busy these days..."

"If you want to meet someone, no matter how busy you are, you will always find time. No matter how busy your father is, you never see your father forget to eat."

Zhao Hao said again.

Concubine Shu heard this and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you talking to your father? Who taught you to be so frivolous!"

The first thousand and sixty-seventh chapter is not the solution to the problem

After hearing this, Emperor Chu couldn't help laughing.

What children say is always the most innocent, without any utilitarianism.

This is also interesting to hear.

If you want to meet someone, no matter what, you can find the time to meet them.

Of all things in the world, which one thing is not like this?

No matter what to do, as long as you want to do it, you can always find time to do it!

On the other side, Zhao Hao looked at Concubine Shu, held his head high, and said loudly: "Master said so. One day I will go to see Master, and Master said so about me..."

Zhao Hao's master, without a doubt, refers to Fang Xiu.

When Concubine Shu heard this, her expression froze again.

Although His Majesty didn't seem to be so shy about mentioning Fang Xiu when he came this time, but he mentioned it one after another, as if everything was related to Fang Xiu, which might arouse His Majesty's dissatisfaction again.

So, she waved her hand and said, "Have you done your homework today? Hurry up and go to study."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao frowned slightly, and said, "I have just come back from the academy, and the concubine wants me to study, and I haven't talked to my father properly yet!"

Concubine Shu was taken aback when she heard this, and after thinking about it, it wasn't a bad thing to let the father and son have a good chat, so she didn't stop it.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu was also touched a lot.

From the moment he ascended the throne, he knew that he was not a father, nor a son, nor a husband, nor even any other identity. There was only one identity left for him—the emperor.

In front of his courtiers, he is the emperor, in front of the people, he is the emperor, in front of the concubines, he is the emperor, and in front of the empress dowager, he is the emperor.

In front of the prince, he is still the emperor.

When Ning Wang and Kang Wang were young, they were still innocent and cute. When they were a little older, they were taught what to do. At a young age, they were no longer like children.

Only here in Hao'er, he can feel that he is not an emperor, but a father.

Thinking of this, he unexpectedly felt a little uncomfortable in his throat. Looking at Hao'er, with a kind smile on his face, he touched his little head and asked, "What have Hao'er learned in the academy during this time? Tell your father and listen to it."

Zhao Hao heard his father mention the academy, his eyes lit up, his face was excited, and he said loudly: "I have learned a lot in the academy, compared to what I have learned together all these years before. And more.

My son knows that the butterfly was transformed from a caterpillar, and the caterpillar has to go through four stages before it can become a butterfly..."

When Concubine Shu heard this, her expression changed again.

What kind of mess is this, dignified prince, what is there to learn from these things?

She wanted to reprimand, but when she saw His Majesty smiling very happily, she held back forcefully, and just smiled: "It's harmless to listen to these things in your spare time. It's also a sign that a bug breaks out of a cocoon and becomes a butterfly." made some sense.

If you work hard, even an inconspicuous bug can turn into a dancing butterfly, this..."

Concubine Shu was interrupted by Zhao Hao before she finished speaking.

"The concubine is wrong!"

The expression on Concubine Shu's face froze, she looked at Zhao Hao, and asked, "Oh? What's wrong with Concubine Mother?"

Zhao Hao looked at Concubine Shu with a firm expression and said: "The reason why a caterpillar can break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly is because it is a butterfly in the first place, and it has nothing to do with whether it works hard or not.

If it were other bugs, no matter how hard they worked, no matter how much they ate, and no matter how hard they worked every day, they would still be bugs, not butterflies.

The mother and concubine attribute the caterpillar's breaking out of its cocoon to the butterfly's hard work, but the son-in-law disagrees, because it is not the case! "

When Concubine Shu heard this, she was choked up and couldn't say a word.

She frowned, thought for a while, and argued, "You're right, but what the concubine mother said is also right. If the caterpillar doesn't work hard, how can it break out of the cocoon?"

Zhao Haodao: "Caterpillars are born to break cocoons. It has nothing to do with whether they work hard or not. If they can eat more, they will have greater strength and it will be easier to break cocoons. If they eat less, they will have less strength and break cocoons. When it is difficult.

However, eating more and eating less is not something they can decide, but the environment. If there are more mulberry leaves around, they can eat more. If there are fewer mulberry leaves around, no matter how hard they work, they still eat With less than a few mulberry leaves, it is naturally difficult to break the cocoon.

What does this have to do with working hard?

Some things are destined at birth, just like a poor commoner, after birth, he has to run around for his livelihood every day.

At a young age, he is as old as his son, and he needs to help his parents in the family with work. If he is a little older, he will help with farm work. If he is a little older, he will marry a wife and have children. The son is working again, again and again.

If you say why they don't study, why they don't make progress, why they don't want to earn money, and say that the reason why they live like this is because they don't work hard, it's really ridiculous.

When they are born, they have to work hard all the time. If they don’t work, they will starve to death. But if they want to be better, they need to study, study, they will starve to death, but you attribute the reason to them Isn't it ridiculous not to work hard?

I have heard too much hard work these days, and I know that this hard work is not the solution to the problem, and even whether you work hard or not will have little effect on changing your own destiny.

If you want to live a good life, if you want to live a different life, hard work is not even a reason, and even luck is much more than hard work. After all, not everyone can succeed through hard work... .”

Zhao Hao seemed very excited and talked a lot.

After Concubine Shu heard this, her eyes widened and she was speechless.

She never thought that one day she would say that she was no more than Hao'er, who was still a child.

And even though she didn't agree with this statement, she couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while.

The reason is simple, she never knew these things.

If you are born, you have to do farm work, if you study, you will starve to death, if you don’t study, you have to do farm work, barely make ends meet, and go round and round...

She came from a wealthy family and was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child. She stretched out her hands for clothes and opened her mouth for food. She often felt bored like this. When she was young, she still felt that her life was meaningless.

She has never been in contact with those farmers, and she doesn't know what their lives are like, so how can she argue?

So she was speechless.

Then, she looked at Emperor Chu, wanting to know what His Majesty said.

Then she saw His Majesty at this moment, staring at Hao'er with wide-eyed eyes, more shocked than herself!

The first thousand and sixty-eighth chapter is not honorable and scholars can be counted as people

Chu Huang looked at his son, in a trance, he felt that he was extremely strange.

The things he said just now are things that he has never thought about deeply, and even the entire court, not many people have thought about it at all.

Many people just think that if they are born to work hard, they will surely succeed.

After ten years of studying hard in the cold window, once he is named on the gold list, he will be a dragon and a phoenix among the people.

But has anyone ever thought about how many people can persist in studying hard for ten years?

Even those so-called children from poor families, compared with the real children from poor families, are not really poor families...

Moreover, besides reading, there are still many paths in this world. Success cannot be achieved only by studying, but for most people in this world, other paths are also blocked.

If you want to start a business, you must first have capital. How do you get this capital?

If you want to practice martial arts, it is even more unrealistic. Practicing martial arts costs more money than studying.

Can you say that these people have a bad life because they don't work hard?

What's more, even if someone is unwilling to work hard and just do their own thing well, they will be able to live a good life. After all, there are so many nobles in this world, they don't have to do anything, they can live a luxurious life life.

But in fact?

Poor people need to do not only their duties, but more extras. They have to work hard to make ends meet in order to make ends meet.

Are these normal?

Before the Emperor Chu, he seldom thought about these issues, that is, when he was on tour, he saw those farmers and heard Fang Xiu say something, so he thought about it.

However, these are extremely profound things, and it is not a simple matter to solve this problem.

Hao'er was able to comprehend, at least initially comprehend, understand some of them, isn't that enough?

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, looked at Hao'er, and asked, "Who taught you these words?"

Zhao Hao replied: "Master just said that hard work may not be useful, and the rest is what I came up with myself."
