Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 962 How to Mess Around
The carriage was very stable, even if the road was occasionally bumpy, the tea on the table did not splash out at all.

Zhang Min's doubts were answered, but not only did he not look happy, but he became even more serious.

After a while, the tea in the cup was already cold, Zhang Min asked.

"My lord, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Empress really gave birth to a son?"

The tone is obscure and inexplicable, making it difficult to guess its meaning.

Zhu Yi's eyes flickered, and she looked up at Zhang Min without saying a word.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and Zhu Yi spoke.

"Shibo, you are too unreasonable to worry about the sky, and the emperor is too worried, because he has lived in Nangong for a long time and can't get a hand in the court affairs, but I still say that, you and I are the ones standing in the court, so what you see and what you worry about different."

"If the emperor's son is really born, there may be major changes in the court and in the palace, but no matter how big the change is, there will eventually be traces to be found. The chain is intertwined, we should stick to our heart and not be too objective, but there is no need to underestimate ourselves."

These words avoided the point that Zhang Yu had faintly revealed, which made him a little disappointed.

However, it was only for a moment, Zhang Yu gathered his mind, and put the thought of being out of reach behind him, said.

"Grandpa Guo is right. I'm the one who made a fool of himself. Soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil. The past cannot be traced, and the future cannot be known. Only by grasping the present can we feel at ease."

Having said that, Zhang Yu recalled the shocking words that Zhu Yi said in front of Chen Mao and others before, and felt that the other party was the one with the brightest eyes and the brightest heart.

In the final analysis, the political situation is turbulent, and the interests are eternal. It is nonsense to say that we should take a long-term view.

What people should fight for is immediate benefits!

To put it bluntly, what you get is yours. The British government has done so many things in the past, but they have always been hidden behind the scenes. Sometimes, they are willing to sacrifice for the overall situation, but in the end, it is not a chicken-and-egg fight.

Then look at Zhu Yi, she took back the title without making a sound, gained the trust of the Supreme Emperor, and now in the court, she also borrowed the power of the Supreme Emperor to gain a seat. Li Zi has earned back.

What is the reason?

To put it bluntly, this is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

Thinking about it carefully, Duke Cheng's mansion also took many risks during the whole process. However, if you sort it out, you will find that every time Zhu Yi takes risks, no matter how beautiful the words are, he must be willing to take action because he sees benefits.

This point is beyond Zhang Yu's reach.

Sometimes he is too gentle and not aggressive enough. Perhaps this is also the reason why the British government is still in decline even though he has been trying his best to maintain it.

So, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and soon after, they separated at the intersection ahead and went back to their mansions.

…………

The first snow in winter comes earlier than usual.

After one night, a thin layer had already been built up and down the capital, and the fire in Qianqing Palace had naturally been lit up long ago.

These days, the court is still arguing about the border situation, but for Zhu Qiyu, no matter what happens in the court, his work and rest are unshakeable.

Today was neither a court meeting nor a Sutra banquet. After waking up in the morning, he took some rare time to come to the school next to Qianqing Palace.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are shining, and the stars are standing..."

It's just getting dark now, but the crisp sound of reading has already spread from the school.

Standing outside the window, Zhu Qiyu looked at the seven or eight little dolls with buns in the room, and couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.

Regarding the matter of enlightening the prince and princess, in the previous life, Zhu Qiyu had stumbled, so he was very cautious in this life.

According to his thinking, he originally planned to wait a little longer, but because Brother Ji expressed his desire to study openly and secretly several times, Zhu Qiyu slowly began to think about it.

Of course, besides Ji Ge'er, there is also a part of the reason that Zhu Qiyu wants to arrest the education of the princess.

After all, Sister Hui, a little crazy girl, is going to get married after all, and studying is also a good way to sharpen her temper.

However, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and it has not been able to take place.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but this teacher is the only one that is hard to find.

Logically speaking, the general enlightenment of the prince is done by the eunuchs of the palace. It is more convenient and easy to do. Anyway, it is not difficult to read a few words.

However, ever since Wang Zhen's incident happened, the court and officials were obviously a little bit taboo about it.

Of course, their main focus is on the prince. Ordinary princes don't care that much, let alone the prince's daughter.

However, these ministers don't care, but Zhu Qiyu himself has to think about it.

What's more, according to his plan, this school will not only be opened for Sister Hui and Brother Ji, but besides the two of them, several princes and daughters of Nangong will also teach together.

Regardless of the grievances between him and Zhu Qizhen, they are both descendants of the Zhu family after all, and some things need to be considered in advance.

With all these things gathered together, there is actually only one most critical issue, and that is to have a good teacher.

Because of this matter, Zhu Qiyu had a lot of headaches, and asked the cabinet to pick him from the Imperial Academy several times, but he was not satisfied after the school examination.

There was even one time when he even had the idea to call that old fellow Hu Wei into the palace as a lecturer.

Of course, it didn't work out in the end.

If Zhu Qiyu mentions this errand, Hu Wei will definitely be happy, but, not to mention whether it is overkill for the dignified Minister of Rites to teach a few little dolls to read, just say that this matter will cause unnecessary trouble if it is spread. Guessing is enough to cause headaches.

You must know that the professors of Donggong are just a group of great scholars from the cabinet. If such a small school labors indiscriminately, it is designated to cause a storm in the court.

With no other choice, this matter has been shelved until recently, and the primary school has not really opened.

As for the teacher, after much consideration, Zhu Qiyu finally handed it over to Yiming!

The reason why he was chosen was that apart from his knowledge and character, the more important point was, of course, that Yiming was an old minister of Prince Yi's mansion, so he was more at ease in using him.

"Clap!"

Two soft sounds brought Zhu Qiyu back to his senses, and he followed the sound, but saw that the sound of reading in the room had disappeared at some point.

Through the window, one can see that Yiming is holding a ruler in his hand. In front of him, Sister Hui is pouted, her small hands are already flushed, and her big and watery eyes are full of crystal water, but, But he refused to shed tears.

"Your Highness, do you know your mistake?"

Yiming's slightly stern voice sounded, making the atmosphere in the room a little tense, and all the dolls looked at Sister Hui, looking timid, apparently quite frightened.

Sister Hui was obviously also very scared, but although she was young, she was very temperamental, and she refused to bow her head in the face of the strict master.

However, this appearance obviously made Yiming even more angry.

Originally it was just a trivial matter, but Sister Hui's stubborn temper made this matter offend the dignity of the teacher, how could this matter?
With a straight face, Yiming reprimanded lightly, and said.

"Stretch out your hand!"

"Snapped"!
The ruler was raised high, but the fall was not too heavy. It could be seen that Yiming still had some strength left.

However, even so, it was not light. Zhu Qiyu saw Hui's body tremble visibly with the naked eye.

"Your Highness, do you know your mistake?"

Yiming's voice sounded again, more and more harshly.

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and almost wanted to break in, but fortunately, he was heartbroken, but he was still rational, and stopped abruptly.

At this time, Wynn said cautiously beside him.

"Your Majesty, I asked someone to ask about the servant girl. I didn't do the homework left by the Bachelor of Rites yesterday, so..."

The atmosphere in the room became more and more tense. Sister Hui's character usually seemed to be jumpy, but in fact, she was the most stubborn.

Right now, this little girl is clearly playing tricks, but she just refuses to admit her mistake.

Seeing that Yiming's face was getting darker and darker, and the ruler had been raised again, Zhu Qiyu was also a little anxious, and couldn't help but move his feet, wanting to go in, but at this moment, someone took a step ahead of him and stopped Hui The front of my sister.

"His Royal Highness King Hui?"

Yiming frowned, hesitated briefly, and put down the ruler in his hand, but the expression on his face became even uglier, said.

"What is your Highness going to do? Stand up for the fifth princess?"

Now there are not too few heirs in the palace. On the side of the Supreme Emperor, there are four sons and four daughters. On Zhu Qiyu's side, there are also two sons and two daughters, each of whom has a title.

Among these children, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen established a separate East Palace Mengxue, the youngest son of the Supreme Emperor Xu Wang Zhu Jianchun, Zhu Qiyu's youngest son Zhu Jianshu, and the youngest daughter Huai'an Princess Zhu Nianyun, the others are all in the school.

The only difference is that the prince is called a title, but it is not easy to distinguish the princess, so in order to distinguish, they are called according to the order of age.

Although Sister Hui is Zhu Qiyu's first daughter, Zhu Qizhen's four daughters, Princess Chongqing, Princess Jiashan, Princess Chun'an, and Princess Chongde, are all older than her.

Therefore, in order to distinguish them, the palace often referred to Sister Hui as the fifth princess.

Of course, strictly speaking, this kind of address is not appropriate. Before, Wang asked Zhu Qiyu what he meant, and got his nod, so he slowly called it this way.

Zhu Jianji protected his younger sister behind him, and Yiming, who was straight-faced, was obviously a little scared, but in the end, he still saluted politely and said.

"The student dare not, but the student has a few words and wants to ask the teacher, and ask the teacher to clarify."

What he said was very straight, it didn't seem like a three or four year old child would say it, but with Zhu Jianji's serious look, it was inexplicably harmonious.

Yiming has been teaching these princes and princesses for some time, among other things, at least in terms of schoolwork, he has always been very satisfied with Zhu Jianji's performance.

However, even so, his current performance really made Yiming feel dissatisfied.

However, he is not an unreasonable person, holding the ruler in his hand, said.

"Your Highness has something to ask, but the old man has something to say first, if His Highness can't refute the old man, then the five princesses will have to double their homework today!"

"no!"

Obviously, Yiming wanted to make Zhu Jianji quit, so he wanted to make a bet with him.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Zhu Jianji didn't follow the trend, but shook his head and said.

"Students want to reason with the husband, not to bet with the husband."

"If I am right, sir should admit my mistake, if I am unreasonable, I should admit my mistake, but I am not wrong in asking for advice, so sir should not punish me for this, let alone fifth younger sister."

Zhu Jianji said these words so seriously that Yiming was stunned.

He didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Hui would have such a clear mind at such a young age.

But after thinking about it, he also understood that this was actually because he applied the adult's behavior style to children.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is His Royal Highness King Hui who is thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, Yiming was considered free and easy, looking at Zhu Jianji in front of him, his face gradually calmed down, and said.

"Your Highness is right. Teachers are taught by their karma to solve doubts. Since the old man was entrusted by His Majesty to teach His Highnesses, it is only natural for His Highness to solve doubts. You should not be so brave. Just now, it is the old man who made a mistake." .”

"However, since Your Highness doesn't want to bet, then the matter you asked and the mistakes made by the fifth princess are two different things. After the old man answered your question, it doesn't interfere with whether the old man will continue to punish the fifth princess. "

After finishing speaking, Yi Ming stared at Zhu Jianji with interest, wanting to see how he would respond next.

The implication was that he had already seen through that Zhu Jianji came here to plead for mercy.

Sure enough, after saying this, Zhu Jianji's little face tensed up, obviously someone had taken his mind off of it.

However, he was not as flustered as Yiming thought, but said.

"Sir, this is exactly what the student wants to ask."

"Fifth Sister didn't do her homework yesterday, so she must have made a mistake, but the student's question is, how should the person who made a mistake be punished, should I act from the heart, or do it according to the law?"

The intention of this question is too obvious, Yiming naturally guessed at a glance what Zhu Jianji wanted to say next.

However, despite this, it is not easy to answer.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Ming said.

"The law of morality is to guide people to be good and lead people to the right path. The old man beat the fifth princess not because of a momentary anger, but in the hope that the fifth princess can realize her mistakes and repent, and then correct her heart to learn, so that she will live up to her. Your Majesty is looking forward to it."

These words can be described as pertinent, and whoever listens to them can't fault them.

However, Zhu Jianji obviously didn't buy it and continued.

"Sir did not answer the students' questions."

As he spoke, he repeated his words again.

"For those who have made mistakes, how should we punish them, should we act from the heart, or should we act according to the law?"
