Jingming

Chapter 108
At this moment in Wang Qiong's mansion, Wang Qiong was still regretting: "You drank here first that day, and then you were able to get rid of it, why should you be so clumsy? Your Majesty has high hopes, and today you shouldn't act like a last-minute learner!"

"... This is the end of learning, so why talk about putting on a show?" Wang Shouren replied helplessly, "I know the situation, how can I show my sharpness? Taking what Duke Jinxi said about His Majesty's pragmatism, does today's debate mean learning? What His Majesty needs It’s just the method, it’s just today’s debate itself. Although we won’t be able to debate at the Sutra Banquet next time, I don’t know how many more times we will have to debate, so we can’t fully express our understanding the first time, right?”

Wang Qiong was stunned: "Didn't Your Majesty value your knowledge?"

Wang Shouren looked at him deeply, and he didn't know if he should say something: If the emperor really valued learning so much, why would he try every means to keep you, a capable and effective minister who has committed crimes?
It was used as a tool to keep Yang Tinghe but to stop him from staring at the emperor so focusedly.

So how can this be a real intellectual battle?This is just a court wrestling to prepare for the next step.

People in Neo Confucianism must treat this as an academic dispute and do their best.

He is a target that cannot be ignored.

It's okay, anyway, at least it will be noticed by many people.

As for the safety of my own target... Fortunately, I should be very strong now, and now I only need to sow seeds and hold my ground first.

The current Junshang is really talented to come up with such a trick.

Wang Qiong said that it was not their idea for the emperor, and the emperor had no urgency to twist them into a rope to accomplish something quickly.

It's just to protect them first and let them perform their duties.

That's what Wang Shouren thought about, but today's Qianqing Palace is very quiet.

Zhu Houcong looked at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze.

I miss Lao Qin...but Lao Qin doesn't necessarily understand these things.

too professional.I also thought about whether to use their debates first, try to figure out their academic thinking, and then try to refine and improve it.

The result is touching.

Yang Ting and they all felt that Zhu Houcong's move of thinking of Wang Shouren's lecture was very strong, but they didn't know that the emperor was a little autistic and felt that he was still weak.

Otherwise, I don't know what expressions they will have.

"... Floating away."

"Your Majesty, what's gone?" Huang Jin, who was behind him, stretched out his fat head and looked around vigilantly.

Zhu Houcong shook his head. Half a bucket of water wants to try to reform the ingrained ideas that have been used for many years. What is it?
Use the right person, do things first, and take your time.

Instead of thinking about reforming thinking now, it is better to think about how to reform the wording and writing style.

What if the courtiers use such top-notch and difficult words to make his face foolish next time?The clever image I managed to establish!

Of course, this situation is likely to arise, so there is more to learn.

No matter how much time it takes to get started, to understand what viewpoints and logics they have expounded by citing classics, this must be done.

It just didn't go as smoothly as I expected.

In the Yuqian academician level debate competition he planned, he was confused by the knowledge of the bosses. Zhu Houcong adjusted the frustration and re-determined the direction.

Back in the hall, Zhu Qingping walked up slowly and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't bother yourself too much. Can I give you a pinch?"

Today, the emperor after the feast is rarely silent in so many days.

Neither did they continue to read the memorials, nor did they let Yan Song and Liu Long handle affairs or speak in the Central Palace.

After returning to the palace, she kept flipping through the book, but couldn't read it.

Except for a trip to Renshou Palace and Weiyang Palace, the emperor hardly did anything else.

After dinner, I didn't turn over the book at all, and stayed in a daze or meditated more.

Zhu Qingping felt that the emperor was really difficult to do, perhaps because of his majesty's status as a feudal prince.

After getting Zhu Houcong's approval, Zhu Qingping stood behind him and began to gently knead his forehead.

Zhu Houcong sat on a convenient soft stool and closed his eyes.

Zhang Zuo brought all the reports from the factory guard today, and Yang Yiqing had already entered the city.

Is it appropriate for June to let them all know about those eighteen chairs?
I feel that the time is not ripe enough. The influence of the current cabinet ministers and Jiuqing due to the case of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin is not stable yet.

Publicizing the [-] chairs, what chain reaction this move will cause has not been fully thought out?
Zhu Houcong, who had already thought about it a lot, began to reflect again because of the frustration of "doing not understand" today.

In Zhu Qingping's eyes, although she was helping him soothe the meridians, the emperor was still frowning and worried.

Zhu Qingping has never heard of a 15-year-old man who doesn't like to play anything, and basically spends all his time on business.

She thought of the life expectancy of several generations of emperors before Daming.

So she winked at Huang Jin who was at the side, telling him to talk to the emperor.

After dinner, when His Majesty was in a daze at the gate of the palace, they had whispered about their concerns.

Huang Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you have been in the palace for more than a month, and you are so preoccupied every day, which is really exhausting. Qingping can also help you with a massage, but the servant is useless .”

It's like competing for favor, but it's a problem.

Zhu Houcong opened his eyes, looked at him and laughed: "Is it hurting your energy? Then what can you do?"

"Your maidservant just doesn't know!" Huang Jin curled his lips a little ashamed and aggrieved.

Zhu Qingping's fingers were slowly moving from the center of the eyebrows to the temples, Zhu Houcong felt his own state and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing to do, just take a rest early today."

That's all, Zhu Qingping felt helpless.

Soon thereafter, the curtains on the dragon bed were put down, and today Zhu Qingping is on duty to watch the night.

In the dead of night, she didn't know for a moment whether she was more lonely, or the emperor on a certain dragon couch behind her was more lonely.

I heard that Mr. Yang Ge is still telling His Majesty how to have few desires today.From Zhu Qingping's point of view, His Majesty has almost no desires, and only knows how to concentrate on business.

The imperial meal is always very simple, and I never look at the theater troupe in the palace.

If it is said that it is not appropriate to wear mourning for Emperor Daxing, it has been half a month since the release of clothes.

Nothing has changed.

"Qingping? Hold the lamp!"

At some point, she suddenly heard Zhu Houcong's call, her voice was full of energy and excitement.

Zhu Qingping quickly walked over with the lantern, and then woke up a dozing lady-in-waiting to turn on the lantern.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the official chamber?"

This word refers to the corner of the toilet, where there is a clean bucket for the queen.

"No, turn on the lights in the East Nuan Pavilion."

Zhu Qingping heard the rustling sound inside the curtain, it was obvious that His Majesty was getting dressed.

After a while, the emperor came out excitedly after getting dressed, and went straight to Dongnang Pavilion.

"Help me study ink." Zhu Houcong first took the key and opened the lock on a cabinet, and then took out the box that he brought from Anlu.

Zhu Qingping couldn't persuade her, so after researching some ink, she went to get a piece of clothing: "Your Majesty, it's getting colder at night. What do you want from the imperial dining room?"

"Just make a cup of tea."

Zhu Qingping watched him put on this dress neatly, and sat on the throne again, concentrating on writing with one hand and flipping through the book with the other. She didn't know if he had fallen asleep before.

After making tea, she sat not far away and waited for orders, while Zhu Qingping was just looking at the bright candlelight at the emperor who had no other distractions.

I'm afraid I will go directly to Changchao until almost dawn, right?

The emperor didn't drink much tea, so guessing that the tea was already cold, she silently went to make a new cup.

If there is nothing to say, there is only her voice of quietly serving, and the sound of the emperor flipping the scroll.

There was a sense of tranquility in the quiet night, and Zhu Qingping gradually turned from worry to relaxation: it could be seen that the worries that made him worry a lot before were gone.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Houcong finally put down his pen, stretched his waist and stood up.

"Pass some snacks?" Zhu Qingping stepped forward and asked.

Zhu Houcong looked at her with a grin and shook his head: "Let's talk about it later. Are you sleepy?"

Although there was a little bit, Zhu Qingping shook her head.

"come over."

Zhu Houcong stood there beckoning to her, Zhu Qingping walked to the imperial case suspiciously, only to see a slightly teasing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I want you to do one thing, to save me a lot of trouble."

"Your Majesty ordered it."

Zhu Houcong picked up the piece of paper on the table and handed it to her: "I know you are smart, so you should be able to do it. You should also study the books I will read this year, so that you can discuss them with me."

Zhu Qingping was stunned, looking at the Four Books and Five Classics and Cheng Zhu's Annotations on the paper.

What do you mean?
"This is a major event, and it must not be ignored. I was in a dilemma yesterday, but I couldn't find a solution." Zhu Houcong said seriously, "You know that I was in the palace before, but I actually didn't learn much. Now that I'm on the throne, I have some concerns. There are too many. But in terms of learning, I can't send too many ministers, I always have to know what it is and why it is."

"...If Your Majesty wants to study knowledge intensively, I will remember that Your Majesty once told me to listen to lectures... I am stupid, how can I..." Zhu Qingping was confused and panicked.

What the hell is this?
Zhu Houcong sighed: "You know, all the ministers now think that I seem to be very intelligent and intelligent?"

Zhu Qingping nodded, remembering the mature feeling that he was almost obsessed with business.

"I am the emperor, the smarter I am in the minds of my officials, the better, you understand?"

Zhu Qingping nodded again, but she didn't know that the ministers didn't necessarily think so, but of course she was on the emperor's side.

"But I'm still very shallow in knowledge, but in the current planning, I must be knowledgeable, and I can't learn from my subordinates slowly." Zhu Houcong couldn't explain to him the details.

Learn from Yang Ting and these people?Then lose the initiative to make some achievements in this area in the future.

Really learn from Wang Shouren?Neo Confucianists will jump their feet collectively.

Learn from someone like Yan Song?No, how can it compare to the coercion brought by the unfathomable itself?

From this point of view, even the old officials in the hidden residence are the same.

Just pretend to be thorough.

So it's better to ask Zhu Qingping to help me gnaw through the most difficult hurdles. She will read through it first when she is free during the day, and then the two of them will discuss it at night.

As for whether this can achieve the goal of studying the Confucianism of this era to a certain level, Zhu Houcong does things according to his own needs, and naturally has his learning methods for induction, analysis, and deductive annotations.

They themselves now annotate the classics according to their own needs.

When you can reach a certain level, you can usually "test" some opinions from various people in various forms through fragmentary points.

Whether it is floating or not, you have to give it a try. If this thing is done, the effect will be very strong.

Zhu Qingping still didn't understand, but she was very obedient: "Your servant must study hard..."

Zhu Houcong nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and rubbed her head naturally: "Believe in yourself! I'll go catch up on it for a while."

Zhu Qingping stood there dumbfounded: I'm older, how can I behave like an elder encouraging a child?

She looked down at the number on the paper, feeling dizzy.

After that, there was one more thing during the day, reading.There was one more thing at night, studying with the emperor?

Why do you have to learn together by yourself?

She just couldn't figure it out, so she thought more and more.

In the official room at the corner of the hall, there was a faint sound of water.

Zhu Qingping glanced over there secretly, and at the same time raised her hand to straighten her hair that was a little messed up just now to cover up her emotions.

Zhu Houcong, who had just finished draining the water, was in her line of sight, ready to catch up on sleep without any distractions.

He has only one thought in his mind now: I want to study this matter quietly, and then amaze everyone.

After finally having a top-notch head, can I be slapped in the face like half listening to the heavens?

Now in the court, which one is not the top head melon?
In the past, Yang Tinghe set up a case against Qian Ning and Jiang Bin;

If things go on like this, can they really control the fine people who emerged in endlessly in the Jiajing Dynasty?
Zhu Houcong, who started like a genius, can no longer tolerate showing his weak side in front of any foreign ministers!
