Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 383 How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain

Zhu Biao asked to see Su Jing for the first time.

Lao Zhu's thoughts instantly went back to more than a year ago, when he realized that Su Jing was amazingly talented and learned, and specifically asked Prince Zhu Biao to study under him.

However, Su Jing also had a temper and did not accept Zhu Biao at first.

Zhu Biao stayed in Lishui County for a few days and lived on his own strength for a few days, and successfully won Su Jing's recognition.

At this moment, the third child Zhu Fan seems to be following a similar path.

"Boss, you mean that Su Jing wants to take the third child as a student?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

Zhu Biao replied: "My son is not sure, but at least Master Su must have certain expectations for the third brother. This time the test for the third brother is even more stringent than my last time. I am afraid it will not be easy."

Although the guards did not know what kind of agreement there was between Su Jing and Zhu Fan when they reported it, Zhu Biao had already inferred it based on the actual situation.

"Test? Humph!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied: "My son, he can be tested whenever he wants. He is really courageous!"

When talking about Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even say his usual catchphrase "we" and directly called me.

Zhu Biao raised his lips slightly, but immediately pushed back: "Father, I think Master Su's test is definitely suitable for the third brother."

Zhu Biao has always ranked first in Su Jing's trust.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said, "You are just helping Su Jing speak, I am your father!"

If you can't explain it, then reveal your father's identity, which is Lao Zhu's usual trick.

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Father, I am not speaking for Master Su, but Master Su's educational philosophy is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Although my fifth brother and I are both studying next to Master Su, the content of our studies is very different."

"Just like the second brother, he used to study the Four Books and Five Classics, but he was always cheating and cheating. Now, under the guidance of Master Su, he focuses on business, learns economics, studies hard, and draws lessons from analogies. He is no longer so resistant to the Four Books and Five Classics. .”

"Master Su once said that everyone has their own unique talents, some are physical, some are mental, and everyone is good at different things. If we apply a unified standard, Many of their talents will be buried.”

"At the same time, there are actually close connections between different fields, because the world is composed of countless systems. These systems do not exist in isolation, but are closely integrated with an internal connection."

"The same is true for knowledge. There is never separate knowledge. The learning of knowledge must form a huge system in the end."

"No matter what you study, after you continue to expand it, you will eventually draw parallels and arouse your interest in learning other things."

After Zhu Biao's detailed explanation, even Lao Zhu had to admit that Su Jing's reasoning was still very reasonable.

After all, Zhu Xi is the best example now.

No matter how hard he was pushed before, he was unwilling to learn. On the contrary, Su Jing took the initiative to teach Zhu Ping to do business without doing his job, which actually inspired Zhu Ping to learn.

"Even so, the third child is not the second child. When it comes to reading, the second child is very good at reading and has quick thinking. As I said before, the third child doesn't need to change anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang still said harshly.

Of course, it is also true that Zhu Fan himself is excellent.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, in terms of knowledge, third brother may not have much to change, but no one is perfect. I believe Master Su did this for the best of third brother."

The main thing is a trust!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face jumped slightly and he said: "Boss, you trust Su Jing too much. Now he lets your brother sleep outside and work as a laborer even on rainy days. Your brother is the King of Jin!"

After all, he is his own son. It is impossible for Lao Zhu to say that he doesn't care at all.

He could accept letting Zhu Fan suffer a little, but is it too much now?

Zhu Biao said calmly: "Father, the third brother is the King of Jin, but he is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He just eats and sleeps in the open. Hasn't my father experienced this? The third brother has a smooth life. Having such an experience may be Master Su's." Purpose, one’s life cannot always be smooth.”

Now Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao seem to have swapped identities.

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent. Compared with the difficulties he experienced during the uprising, what Zhu Fan experienced was really nothing.

But why did Lao Zhu build such a huge empire?Are you going to have to endure hardship again for the sake of your own children and grandchildren?
Why is Lao Zhu so harsh on officials, but his support to the royal family is extremely generous.

That is his selfishness. The descendants of his old Zhu family should just enjoy happiness.

Now Zhu Fan himself is very good, but he was treated so hard by Su Jing in Lishui County. Lao Zhu still feels very unhappy.

Yes, what Zhu Biao said makes sense. This matter must be of great benefit to Zhu Fan.

Even for Lao Zhu, if this happened to Zhu Biao, he would have no objection at all.

Because Zhu Biao is a prince, he can grow up after experiencing some hardships.

"Father, I know that you feel sorry for your third brother. As the eldest brother, I feel the same way. But how can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? The third brother must eventually learn to face everything on his own, instead of always being under the protection of my father or me. Next, when he gets older, he will also go to join the feudal clan and encounter various problems. When that time comes, maybe the third brother will be grateful to Master Su when he thinks of his current experience."

Zhu Biao explained again.

Although this has deviated from Su Jing's original intention of arranging the challenge for Zhu Fan, it still makes some sense.

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked very curiously: "Boss, did Su Jing teach you this?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Yes, Father, Master Su also taught me the principle of rainbow appearance, it is precisely because the rain moistens the sky."

"It makes sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, actually he had accepted this matter for a long time.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Father, don't worry. Master Su is very measured in his actions. When the third brother comes back, we will all know. Maybe what Master Su wants to teach the third brother, we may have guessed wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said: "Boss, when did we worry? You are all our sons, can you be any worse? The third child will definitely satisfy Su Jing, it depends on what Su Jing has taught the third child."

Being comforted by his son, Lao Zhu still felt a little embarrassed.

"What the father said is that my son has something to do, so he should leave now."

Zhu Biao didn't argue. He still knew Lao Zhu's temper very well. This was just a tough talk. There was no need to reveal the truth.

"Okay, then you go."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but then said: "By the way, don't let your mother know about the third child, otherwise she will talk about it again."

A father like Lao Zhu who believed in strict teachings was a little worried about Zhu Fan, let alone a loving mother like Queen Ma.

"My son understands."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then slowly exited Fengxian Hall.However, as soon as Zhu Biao left, Queen Ma appeared in Fengxian Hall.

"Chongba, please tell me how the third child is doing. Why can't you let me know?"

Queen Ma slowly came to Zhu Yuanzhang, her face cold and calm.

"Well, well, sister, it's actually nothing. It's just that the third child is more naughty than Su Jing, so it's no big deal."

Zhu Yuanzhang answered hesitantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had silenced all the civil and military officials earlier in the morning, now felt quite uneasy in front of Empress Ma.

Being caught on the spot was really hard to bear.

Empress Ma snorted coldly: "Chongba, it's okay if you lied and didn't write a draft. Do you think I, as a mother, wouldn't know what Fan'er's personality is? If Fan'er is naughty, then I won't doubt it at all, but Fan'er is naughty, you are so eloquent."

Queen Ma knew very well what kind of character Zhu Fan was.

He is well-educated and quick-thinking, and he is very general in his dealings with people and things.

I treat my teachers with great respect, not to mention that the teacher is Su Jing.

Therefore, it is obvious that what Lao Zhu is saying now is pure nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked a little ugly, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "Maybe we heard it wrong. I have indeed been a bit deaf recently."

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a straight face and said, "Chongba, what's the matter? As for you specifically asking Biao'er to hide it from me? If you don't tell me, then I'll go find Biao'er and find out."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Farewell, let's say it's okay. The third child's matter is actually not that big, it's just Su Jing..."

After chattering for a while, Lao Zhu quickly described Zhu Fan's situation to Queen Ma.

After hearing all this, Queen Ma's expression turned worried.

Sleeping on the streets, going to the dock to carry bags, even the three pennies I had were stolen, and it started to rain.

Zhu Fan's situation at the moment is probably something he has never experienced in so many years.

"I won't tell you. Actually, I don't want you to worry about the third child, sister."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained, and then said fiercely: "This kid Su Jing really doesn't know what he wants to do, but he is so harsh on the third child! Doesn't he know that the third child is already the king of Jin? He is just messing around!"

While comforting Queen Ma and scolding Su Jing, Lao Zhu felt relieved.

It's a pity that Queen Ma's next sentence made Lao Zhu choke.

"Chongba, you can't say that either. Mr. Su must have his reasons for doing this. Although Fan'er has to suffer a little, there are still benefits."

Queen Ma said earnestly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face jumped, good guy, he obviously wanted to hide it so that Queen Ma would not worry about Zhu Fan, but he didn't expect Queen Ma to directly express her understanding.

Lao Zhu was not happy, and he said directly: "Sister, Su Jing only gave the third five cents, and didn't even give him a place to live at night. The remaining three cents for the third child were stolen, so he had to go to work even if it rained. Live!"

"Now the third child is working hungry in the rain, don't you feel bad at all?"

This wave of miserable descriptions paint an incomparable image of Zhu Fan's tragic situation.

Even Lao Zhu himself was a little worried about Zhu Fan.

Empress Ma said: "It is certain to worry, but Fan'er has been well-fed and well-fed since he was a child, so he should endure some hardships. Chongba, you and I often say that as an emperor and queen, you should set an example for the people, and Fan'er, the king of Jin, is no exception. "

"If he appreciates the hard work of the people more, he will become a vassal in the future, and he will be more considerate of the people under his rule. Mr. Su really has good intentions."

It had to be Queen Ma who directly expressed Su Jing's core thoughts.

A prince like Zhu Fan grew up in the palace and did not know the sufferings of the people, but he shouldered the responsibility of governing the people.

If something happened to He not eating minced meat, he would probably become the laughing stock of the world.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable.

On weekdays, I often talk to Zhu Biao about the hardships of the people, and Zhu Biao often feels it himself.

But the other sons will hardly come into contact with ordinary people.

Now listening to what Empress Ma said, it is indeed very reasonable.

After all, his son will join the feudal clan in the future.

Ignorance of people's sufferings is not a good thing.

However, even now, Queen Ma is still helping Su Jing to speak, which makes Lao Zhu feel happy!
"Sister, even if what you said is right, should Su Jing say hello to us about this kind of thing? We are the parents of the third child. If he does this on his own initiative, does he not take us seriously?"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his angle and continued to output Su Jing.

Empress Ma immediately said: "No, Chongba, it's just you, but don't take me with you. I have no objection to Mr. Su's actions. It's your business if you don't feel happy."

Queen Ma quickly denounced her behavior, which directly relieved Lao Zhu's energy.

My wife doesn't even have any objections to this, but I still think nothing of it.

"Come on, then we have nothing to say. Let's see what the third child will become after he comes back."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be frustrated, and he had no confidence to speak.

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Chongba, I said you are too petty. Don't you still know who Mr. Su is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, don't talk nonsense. My little family is angry. I tolerate and tolerate Su Jing. If others dared to do this to the third child, I would have sent troops to suppress him!"

"What are you talking about? Mr. Su is not a bandit, so what is there to suppress?"

Queen Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Chongba, I think Mr. Su has tested Fan'er quite deeply this time. Maybe he can really accept Fan'er as his student."

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and said: "No, isn't it just to accept students? There are so many good teachers, but he is the only one missing? Sister, you think too highly of Su Jing! You really think that others are begging him to accept students."

Empress Ma looked at Lao Zhu and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, this is me begging Mr. Su to accept students. Biao'er is like this, and Chu'er is like this too. It's all me, and it has nothing to do with you Zhu Chongba."

Lao Zhu and Queen Ma knew very well who suggested it when Zhu Biao was asked to study with Su Jing.

Of course, to say it again would be a bit disrespectful to Lao Zhu.
