Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 174 Xu Da's Teachings

The noble children left dejectedly.Xu Da turned back to Zhu Su: "Your Highness, can you find a quiet place to talk?"

In all fairness, Zhu Su got along with Xu Da in private.Especially when Lao Zhu and Empress Ma sent people to ask every now and then: How is the progress with Xu's daughter?Why is there still no progress with Xu's daughter? ……in the case of.

Since his elders had nothing to do with him, he was urging him to abduct his daughter. How could Zhu Su treat Xu Da as normal?
My heart skipped a beat but I couldn't refuse, so I just nodded and said please.

When the two arrived under a tree beside the road, Xu Dawen said: "Your Highness's mandarin duck formation is extremely unpredictable, and the use of bamboo as a weapon has taught me to be overwhelmed. I wonder if there is a picture of the formation, can you give me a look? ?”

Zhu Su nodded, the formation map naturally exists.After he drew the formation diagram, he asked Li Rong to train according to the diagram, and if there were any areas that were not suitable for actual combat, the generals improved on their own.Seeing that Zhu Su immediately asked someone to fetch the formation map without any intention of hiding anything, Xu Da couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Your Highness is pure and kind, but there is a word that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Uncle Xu, you call me Xiaowu. You and my Zhu family are family friends, so you don't have to talk to your Highness. You can speak up if you have anything to say." Zhu Su said.

"Then I will speak bluntly. I have heard His Majesty say that His Highness the Fifth Highness said that he only wishes to be the King of Peace and Idleness. Is there such a thing?"

Seeing Zhu Su's admission, Xu Da went on to say: "Your Highness may not want to compete with the crown prince, perhaps he does not want to be fettered by common matters, so he came up with this idea at a young age."

"However, in the matter of human life, if it is mediocrity, how is it different from rotten wood and rotten grass? Besides, Your Highness was born with a great opportunity, so you must know that the responsibility of the heavens falls on people. If you are not brave enough to take on the responsibility, you will be blamed by the heavens."

"If your Highness intends to evade responsibility, then either His Majesty or the people are to blame. If you don't make a career out of all your talent and learning, why do you just want to be a idle king?"

Xu Da actually came to persuade himself!Zhu Su immediately bowed his head and listened respectfully.Regardless of whether you take it seriously or not, this posture must be correct.However, this was the first time he heard someone other than Lao Zhu and Queen Ma persuade him to make a career.

Seemingly seeing that Zhu Su didn't listen to these words, Xu Da couldn't help being a little angry: "I've heard Wen Zhong say about these honorable dandies. If His Highness had restrained him earlier, those peasants would It is true that the aftermath has been dealt with properly, but by letting it go and making it more and more domineering, and even despising it, how can it be the way of imperial servants."

"What do you think I should do?"

"When dawn is powerful, Ling Yiwei. Now that he is in the middle of the game, how can An Neng stay out of it?" Xu Da's voice seemed to be full of gold.

"Being in the middle of the game, An Neng stays out of it..." Zhu Su repeated softly.I really always wanted to stay out of the matter, until those innocent farmers were in trouble before I couldn't bear to make a move.From this point of view, Old Man Wang's farm households did suffer from unwarranted disasters because of their own inaction.

To put it bluntly, he still has a sense of detachment from this era.I always feel that I am still a spectator, and I should only watch Yunjuan Yunshu in the early Ming Dynasty somewhere.

……

Most of the noble children left.Lu Xian, Zhu Xian and others have always been used to domineering, how could they really not want to read sage books in Bifeng Academy.Only a few dandies and Zhu Xi, who were strictly ordered not to go home by their families, were left to study in the academy.Li Wenzhong believes that the "pre-school military training" for Li Jinglong and Zhu Su was very successful, and "military training" was also carried out for Zhu Xi and Zhu Di and the remaining dudes. There was a lot of crying and howling and complaints.

On the contrary, Zhu Di was very interested, saying that this military training is much more interesting than listening to lectures in the classroom.

Song Lian and Liu Bowen were obsessed with the ocean of Gewu. In the early Yuan Dynasty, he resigned from the conquest of the Yuan court and searched all the ancient books hidden in the mountains. With his knowledge, he quickly saw that "Gewu" was It is no less than another systematic knowledge of various schools of thought.This discovery made Song Lian ecstatic, and felt like he was decades younger.Every day, I focus on sorting out Zhu Su's messy manuscripts, and even the schoolwork of the princes is not as pressing as before.

After the dudes were imprisoned in the academy, Zhuangzi regained his calm again, and the market in front of the Zhuang became more and more prosperous, with a constant stream of people coming and going.However, if there are too many people, troubles will easily arise. Many refugees came here after hearing the news of the wealth and honor here, seeking a way to survive.

Most of these refugees were dragged by officials from the Ministry of Industry to burn cement in cement kilns.Now the cement gap is getting bigger and bigger. Ever since Zhu Su handed over the cement kiln to the Ministry of Industry, the smoke column on the kiln has never stopped for twelve hours a day.

"Your Highness, the Xu Mansion has accepted the greeting card." Before the dinner table, the dog who was going to send the greeting card to the kings cupped his hands.A few days later, it happened that Wei Guogong Xu Da was celebrating his birthday. It was rare that Xu Da was in the mansion this year, so the Xu family planned to spend some time on making arrangements.

Zhu Su didn't want to go at first, but at the end of Xu Da's conversation with him that day, he specially told him to "walk around more in your spare time." The implication was so obvious that Zhu Su couldn't help it.

Speaking of it, it was Zhu's fourth fault. If he hadn't spread rumors and ruined the reputation of Xu's daughter, Xu Da would not have rushed to urge Zhu Su to go to Xu's house.

After all, only by confirming the rumor that "the fifth prince pays attention to the daughter of the Xu family" can the shame of the previous rumor that "the daughter of the Xu family is despised by the royal family" be completely overturned.

"Have the glassware for the birthday ceremony been installed?" Zhu Su asked the dog.The old man of the glass kiln has become more and more skilled at blowing glass. Today's glassware is more and more sought after in Yingtian, and even has no market. It is found in the kiln that after using a magnet to suck the sand for burning glass, the glass produced is more durable. Close to colorless and transparent, today's glass crafts are even more beautiful than those at the first auction.It is best to use glass products as birthday gifts.

"The share for Your Highness and Your Highnesses has already been fired." Gou'er bowed and replied.Speaking of this, Zhu Bian, who was eating at the same table with Zhu Su, suddenly remembered something, "Fifth, you said that using those transparent and bubble-free glass can make usable clairvoyance."

"Is the colorless glass fired in the kiln good enough?"

For this third brother who was born with a lot of curiosity, Zhu Su can be said to have imparted his scientific knowledge with little ideas.The last time I heard Zhu Su talk about the principle of the telescope, Zhu Yan was taken aback.

It's just that the glass at that time was not pure in color and had too many bubbles, which made it unusable as a telescope lens for the time being.Zhu Yan spent his free time in the glass kiln every day.Using a magnet to absorb impurities will make the glass closer to colorless, which was discovered by Zhu Yan.

"It should be usable." Zhu Su thought about the fineness of the latest glass out of the kiln. "However, the last kiln is a gift for Xu's family. There is no time to spare. If you want to make telescopes, you should try again when the next kiln is opened in a few days."

Zhu Yan nodded in understanding.Suddenly thought of something: "By the way, it is said that the Xu family has invited many literati and scholars through this birthday banquet."

"The Duke's wife likes literature, and her second son Zengshou also intends to follow literature. Xu's family is all martial arts, it seems that they want to get more cultured."

"It is said that there will be a poetry meeting to be lively. It is rumored in the market that the Xu family has prepared a lottery for the poetry meeting this time."

"Fifth, you have to fight a bit, so as to give our parents Zhu a face!"

Zhu Yan placed high hopes on Zhu Su.

"Poetry...poetry meeting?"

The Xu family held a birthday banquet, and found such a far-fetched reason unreasonably, what kind of poetry party are they going to hold?
Zhu Su only felt startled in his heart, and a not-so-good feeling of unease came to his heart.
