"The way of a university is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people... From the emperor to the common people, they are all based on self-cultivation. If the original is chaos and ends in governance, it will be wrong. What is good is weak, and what is weak is weak.

Thickness is something that has not yet existed... A rich house is nourished by virtue, a body is nourished by virtue, a heart is broad and the body is fat, so a gentleman must be sincere. "Poetry" says: Look at the other side... What is behind the other side? I can't remember it.

"

Zhu Houzhao opened the book again, and he looked serious now.

In fact, he has never hated reading since he was a child. He seems to have a calmness that is innate in him. No matter how much homework the teacher of each subject assigns, he will go home at night and finish it calmly.

Later, people said that he was someone else's child, with good grades and sensibleness. In fact, his own thoughts were purer, and he just felt that these things should be done by himself.

If you are now learning these ancient texts, they still contain the wisdom of the ancients. Here you have to communicate with scholars, have text exchanges, and understand the text and sentences, so you always have to read some.

It was Yang Tinghe who was surprised. He didn't expect that he had just led the reading a few times, and the prince had come up with many sentences at once. Even if it stopped at "Zhan Bi Qi'ao", it was actually very difficult.

Zhu Houzhao ignored his emotions and was completely immersed in them. He had always known that his memory was very good. Of course, it was not a photographic memory, but in terms of it, it was a bit like Ouyang Ke memorizing the "Nine Yin Manual", which was better than Guo Jing's.

Remember too much.

As a result, the atmosphere in Xiefang Hall suddenly became filled with the sound of books that had never been seen before.

Soon after,

Liu Jin came over in a small step and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu from the Cabinet has sent someone here. It seems that... they have something to do with Yang Zhongyun."

"Oh, let's go then." Zhu Houzhao looked at the book without looking up.

Yang Tinghe was a little embarrassed. He was like an unlucky guy who had two bosses and still couldn't agree with each other.

"Your Highness...this..."

"It's okay. Since the cabinet is summoned and state affairs are important, Mr. Yang can go."

Yang Tinghe wiped his sweat,

What happened today? He, a low-level official with sesame seeds and green beans, became the target of both parties.

"I thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao shouted as he slowly exited the hall, "Mr. Yang,"

"Your Highness." Yang Tinghe turned around again and saw His Highness the Crown Prince, who lowered his head and spoke in a quiet tone.

"You taught me well today, and I think reading seems a bit interesting."

"This is my honor and my duty."

After that, the crown prince stopped talking.

Yang Tinghe thought it was nothing at first, but at a certain moment, he seemed to intuitively feel that His Highness's last words had hidden meaning.

In the palace, Liu Jin still couldn't let go of His Highness getting close to Yang Tinghe today.

Take the opportunity to talk nonsense.

"I feel that the cabinet and Yang Tinghe are also a little ignorant of etiquette. As if the cabinet's affairs are important, but His Highness's affairs are not?"

Zhu Houzhao looked up at him unexpectedly.

The old eunuch was so frightened that he lowered his head and said, "My servant made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

This old guy is also a bit narrow-minded, but foreign ministers and internal ministers cannot get together, otherwise there will be no room for the imperial power to be extended.

If Liu Jin and these civil servants wore trousers on the same leg, that would be the day of his death.

Thinking about this section, Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed again,

He laughed like this, and Liu Jinxin also let out a long sigh of relief, and then laughed twice, "Your Highness... my heart is always for you no matter what. If you are stupid or say something wrong, you can scold me."

Two sentences."

"I will scold you when it's time to scold you. I'm not angry now, so why scold you?"

Liu Jin understood as soon as these words came out. What is the time when you should scold? Doesn't that mean that now is the time when you shouldn't scold?

In this way, even if he is a little bad to those outside, it won't be a big problem.

However, Zhu Houzhao still began to think about Liu Jin's problem.

Historically, this man had a very bad reputation...

"Your Highness, are you tired after studying for so long?" Liu Jin wanted to pass this section quickly, so she thought about it and suggested: "I found a magic weapon for Your Highness, and only the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon can pull it out.

!”

In order to make the children happy, he collected a lot of these good things.

"No need."

…

…

In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe stood obediently. In front of him were Xu Shoufu and the three cabinet ministers Liu, Li and Xie.

Xu Pu, the chief assistant, was born in Yixing in the third year of Xuande. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, the former chief assistant Liu Ji was dismissed from office, and he took over this position.

In terms of style, Xu Pu aimed at stability and calmness. He discussed everything with Liu, Li and Xie together. Generally speaking, he was an honest minister. He was already 70 this year and suffered from eye diseases.

In the eleventh year of Hongzhi's reign, he returned to his hometown as a beggar and died the next year.

But in the tenth year of Hongzhi, the old man still held the power. Even though he was just sitting on the chair with his waist in his mouth, like a useless little old man, no one dared to look down upon him.

"Yang Tinghe, do you know that it is taboo to stay alone and visit privately?"

Regarding the education issue in the East Palace, there is indeed a rule: if there are those who are left alone to perform memorials and private visits, Xu Sizhiro and Kiyoshiro will work together to solve the problem.

Even if you stay privately to meet the prince after the formal classes are over, you will be severely impeached.

However, this is a rule that will only come into being after officially giving lectures.

It's a bit far-fetched for Xu Pu to use it here, but he used it like this to kill people if he was a high-ranking official. Yang Tinghe had no choice.

This left a bitter taste in his heart.

At this moment, I had no choice but to argue: "The matter happened suddenly. Since His Highness is asking questions, and he is asking about the knowledge of saints, how can I not answer out of fear of my own sin?"

Xu Pu had a straight face and snorted, "You do have some integrity."

Yang Tinghe felt a little shaken and took risks to please the prince, but these upright adults could not look down upon him.

Before he could defend himself, Mr. Liu Ge asked: "What did the prince ask today?"

So Yang Tinghe reported everything that happened in the East Palace today.

The prince was excited, angry, and violent in the East Palace. This was an unprecedented behavior in the past, which made the elders a little confused.

"From what you said, the prince is smart, sensible, and extremely filial. For this great blessing, God has blessed me with the Ming Dynasty. However, in the past, His Highness did not summon you and so on. Why did he suddenly tell you about the East Palace giving lectures today?"

Xu Pu looked at him and said.

This question made Yang Tinghe feel nervous. What does this mean?

"Mr. Xu Ge, I just taught His Highness to read half of "The Great Learning". His Highness did not explain the rest." Yang Tinghe insisted on this point.

Xu Shoufu could not tell whether he believed it or not, but he said in a low voice: "Prince... Studying with filial piety, refusing to study in the name of loyalty, and doing this compromise at the age of seven is not a way to win people.

Teaching each other in secret?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Tinghe was shocked. He suddenly understood that it was no wonder what Mr. Ge said today sounded so strange!

This is absolutely unacceptable. If a minor minister secretly wins the favor of the prince in this way, doesn't that mean he wants to be a favored minister?

"Master Xu, all the elders know that this person is definitely not a low-ranking official!"

He denied it, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Liu Jian, who was still relatively upright, couldn't help it.

"You can either read or not read the books of sages. How can there be any compromise in reading? The prince is the foundation of the country, so the Ministry of Rites must prepare a lecture ceremony. Otherwise, what kind of dignity will it have?"

Xu Pu didn't want to believe it either, but it was done very cleverly. Yang Tinghe insisted on denying it, "Could it be that he really became wise at a young age?"

Liu Jian seemed to be inclined to believe Yang Tinghe, "Since the prince has this special talent, he should come out of the cabinet to give lectures as soon as possible. I, the superior minister, beg your majesty to change the time. How can this be rebellion?"

Mr. Xu Ge has his own set of principles for doing things, and he will not change his ways just because of a seven-year-old child. Besides, the departure of the East Palace is a big event, so he has not yet reached a conclusion. He is just thinking, "Don't worry, I will think about it again... You guys will also think about it again."

Think about it..."

Li Dongyang is good at planning. He stroked his beard and suddenly his eyes flashed, "Maybe you should try to reverse what the prince said?"

Everyone was chewing on the words of the prince: If the weather is not warm, they will not leave the pavilion to give lectures!

Thinking about it on the other hand, it was warmer that day?

Suddenly it dawned on me!

The prince wants to tell the ministers that what the emperor has approved is an imperial edict and must be obeyed. Therefore, it is useless even if the ministers submit another memorial, even he himself will not agree.

On the other hand, this is to reassure them: as soon as the weather warms up, they will learn to read!

And as long as he wants to read, with His Majesty's favor for him, how can he evade the obstruction again?

Then it will be spring next year when the East Palace gives lectures, and there is no need to worry about delaying the time any longer!
