"Don't vent your anger, don't let it go." Huang Zongxi asked excitedly in Liu Zongzhou's office: "Isn't the holy emperor using this to educate the prince?"

Not being angry is nothing more than Confucius' evaluation of Yan Hui, and he believed that a person who is as eager to learn as Yan Hui will be hard to see once he dies, which can be said to be a very high evaluation.

Zhu Cihong has always been worried by the ministers that he will become a tyrant like Sejong, and they are even more afraid that he will spread the theory of magic and bring Ming Dynasty into a place of eternal doom.Now seeing that he can demand the crown prince with the standards of Confucian sages, at least it proves that the emperor has not "walked" too far.Moreover, the prince who has been educated in this way will not abandon the famous teaching.

After Liu Zongzhou checked with the emperor, he was very clear about the details of the emperor's knowledge of classics and righteousness, and he learned from his old friends in the Imperial Academy that the emperor really went to school because he listened to "Zuo Zhuan" taught by Wu Zhen.He shook his head and said: "The most surprising thing today is this, it seems like a natural thing."

Huang Zongxi was puzzled.

"How easy is it to put the words and deeds of a sage into daily use?" Liu Zongzhou said: "How many so-called famous Confucians talk about reasoning without hindering their eloquence, but they are ignorant when they see their nature. In my opinion, I have never learned chapters and sentences. Moreover, miscellaneous learning is mottled, and the Dao is not seen, but the actions and speeches often coincide with the true meaning of the holy religion, isn't it natural?"

Although Zhu Cihong did not study Confucianism and ethics in his previous life, and the whole society lacked such a great atmosphere, Confucianism has penetrated into everyone's bone marrow, and has a faint influence on the values ​​and outlook on life of all Chinese sons and daughters.Even many fighters who clamored against Confucianism and Confucianism used the logic of Confucian scholars themselves, and did not see any new ideas.

Regarding the matter of educating the crown prince in the Imperial College, Zhu Cihong himself did not realize that it had any relationship with Confucianism, let alone "don't vent your anger, don't blame yourself".At that time, his mind was very simple, and a man should bear the responsibility.Taste the fruit you sow.

That's it.

This was not only the correct thought in the Ming Dynasty, but also regarded as the truth in Zhu Cihong's previous life.I'm afraid only foolish men and women would rush to pick up the child, and then pretend to knock on the tree root floor to make the child happy.

"Master doesn't seem to be lucky with this?" Huang Zongxi said.

"It's not just Yan Zi who doesn't get angry, but also Qin Mu Gong." Liu Zongzhou said.Looking out of the window, he said again: "Today, he has not held a sutra banquet for so long, so he is not a king who is eager to learn. It is our duty to remonstrate with the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor and his ministers may not be able to get along in the future. As for the prince, he still needs to be educated from an early age. In order to become a generation of enlightened masters.”

Huang Zongxi nodded.

"Since Your Majesty wants me to recommend a lecturer, I will recommend you as a Japanese lecturer." Liu Zongzhou said.

Huang Zongxi suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and bowed deeply.Said: "The disciple must do his best to guide His Royal Highness the crown prince to grasp the classics and understand the righteousness."

Liu Zongzhou nodded in approval and said, "That's very good. It's getting late, so you should go back earlier."

"Yes." Huang Zongxi retreated in response.

……

When Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, Chongzhen and Zhou Hou had already known what had happened at the Imperial College, and were anxious to see if their grandson was seriously injured or if he would lose his appearance, but they didn't pay much attention to the emperor's wènti asking the crown prince to find a teacher.After Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, he still had to deal with government affairs.So the only person who really cares about who Teacher Zhu Hegui is is Queen Duan.

Fortunately, Liu Zongzhou's work efficiency is extremely high, and this is also because he has enough disciples to serve him.Half a month later, a fresh list was sent to the emperor.

The name of the week of the zodiac is at the top.

Although there was a gap between Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, he did not avoid hatred when exposing himself. Liu Zongzhou believed in Huang Daozhou's character and knowledge extremely.

After Huang Daozhou, he was the official of Zuochunfang. Liu Zongzhou recommended his disciples Chen Que, Huang Zongxi and Zhang Lvxiang.Take on the heavy responsibility of speaking daily.Although Huang Daozhou is the main lecturer, the specific lecture content is still in the charge of the daily lecturer, just like the difference between the class teacher and the teacher.

After that, there are some Hanlin, who either accompany the lectures or listen in, all of them are talented scholars with little literary fame.

This list was in the hands of Zhu Cihong.It will soon be unrecognizable.

Because His Majesty the Emperor does not need so many lecturers.

"This is the crown prince's first-year class schedule." Zhu Cihong asked Lu Suyao to take out a form, and said: "The person recommended by Mr. Liu can only take three courses: Chinese, calligraphy and history."

"The ones recommended by the minister are all outstanding men of the moment..." Liu Zongzhou took the schedule in disbelief, and after only one glance, he was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what does 'society' mean?" Of course Liu Zongzhou knew "society".

In Daming, society means associations and gatherings.

There are book clubs, piano clubs, painting clubs, poetry clubs... all kinds of different.There will be temporary gatherings and long-term fixed meetings.But none of this has anything to do with the crown prince.

"My so-called society refers to the collection of all kinds of people's livelihood in Ming Dynasty." Zhu Cihong said: "If you want the crown prince to know how to buy a few buns with a lot of money, which yamen should you go to if someone gets into a fight on the road? What's the household registration? What a benefit... In short, let the crown prince know how the common people live from birth to death."

If Liu Zongzhou felt something, he said: "This is indeed a meeting."

"If this matter is handed over to the courtiers, I'm afraid there will still be a joke of 'why not eat minced meat', so the internal officials will be in charge." Zhu Cihong said.

Liu Zongzhou nodded in agreement, anyway, that's what internal officials do.

"Arithmetic is very simple. Left and right are nothing more than addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I have already arranged female officers." Zhu Cilang said, "Every afternoon, in the physical education class, an instructor will be selected from the army to lead him to ride horses and shoot arrows to keep fit. As for nature Well, I hired several professors from Jingshi, Xinglin and other universities to teach him the laws of nature."

Liu Zongzhou knew that these were the shortcomings of Confucian officials, and there was really no way to inherit them all.Although there were many civil and military Jinshi like Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng in the court, it was obvious that the emperor's arrangement was more appropriate.

Chinese is the foundation of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and it can be deep or shallow; history is the commentary of the ages, and words contain praise and criticism;As long as these three are taught by decent Confucian officials, it is enough to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not go astray.

"Your Majesty, I think His Highness is missing a lesson." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

"Oh? What?" Zhu Cihong felt that he had already arranged for his son perfectly, covering all aspects of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor.

"Rites." Liu Zongzhou said: "The Master said: If you don't know the rituals, you can't stand."

"Well, he has already learned a lot of rules in the palace. Does he still need to have a separate class?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Liu Zongzhou said: "Your Majesty, if you only learn the rules, you will be close to rotten Confucianism. There are deep meanings in the etiquette. It inherits the daily life of the ancestors, and inspires the sages to cultivate their minds. Not only should we know what it is, but we should also know why it is. Therefore The minister thinks that this lesson cannot be missed."

Zhu Cihong nodded, glanced at the schedule again, and said, "In this case, you can send a Confucian official who is a scholar of the Book of Rites as a history lecturer, and let's talk about it together."

Liu Zongzhou bowed and said, "I obey the order."

"I still feel that since so many teachers have been mobilized, it would be a waste to teach him only one. And after all, children like to be with children, and they tend to be eccentric when they are alone. I would like to ask the children of the clan and the children of meritorious ministers to accompany me to study. Is it suitable?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"The ancient princes were always accompanied by children when they read books, which is a proper etiquette." Liu Zong said thoughtfully.

Zhu Cilang nodded, and said: "The suitable children will be screened by Mr., and it is best that they have never studied like the crown prince."

Liu Zongzhou accepted the order, and at the same time, he was a little tangled: I am the Imperial College Jijiu, why do I look like an official of the Eastern Palace now?

The lectures of the crown prince Zhu Hegui were finally settled, and Zhu Cihong chose the Wenhua Palace as the place for his daily lectures.Moved his office to the Hall of Valor.

This is not just a small matter of changing the glazed tiles of the Wenhua Palace, the entire cabinet will also be moved accordingly.To ensure that the emperor calls at any time.

Empress Duan finally waited until her eldest son came out of the cabinet, and seeing that the emperor was so caring, she was overjoyed. She personally checked the utensils for her son to go to school, and asked for a place for her younger sister's son.After Dongyuan Wang Zhu Changjie learned about it, please choose from Zongxue to accompany him.

Zhu and Gui only know that they can ride horses and shoot arrows every day after giving lectures.I can still run around and play games, so excited that I can't sleep well for several days, and ask three times a day: "When can I start school?"

However, Zhu Cihong knew that it would definitely be too late this year.

As soon as October is over, there is a big festival, the winter solstice.

Worshiping ancestors in the winter solstice is a major event for the whole country.As long as there is a clan, the family must participate in the ancestor worship ceremony and prepare sacrifices.If you deliberately do not worship your ancestors, you will be severely punished by the Ming Law. Zhu Cihong once wanted to cancel this article to reduce the burden on those who traveled far away, but he did not get support.

For this reason, the Ministry of Rites also specially prepared a ceremony for the soldiers serving in the army. The ancestral homes and ancestral hall numbers of all the soldiers were written on the paper tablets, and the ancestors were collectively worshipped. Finally, "Qin Feng? No Clothes" was sung. Solemn and solemn, vigorous.

As far as the Tian family is concerned, the Supreme Emperor is still alive, so the ceremonies must be revised, with the Supreme Emperor as the center, to report and sacrifice to the ancestors.Zhu Cihong can appoint a scholar to worship the sky, but the obligation to worship the ancestors can only be performed by himself, and cannot be shirked.

After the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival and New Year's Day follow closely.Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, many yamen have started to change shifts, so that Lu Yuan's colleagues can go back earlier.If this situation continues until the [-]th day of the first lunar month of the next year after the Shangyuan Festival, it is naturally impossible to start school.

Fortunately, after the winter solstice, both the palace and the people are full of joy, and every family is happy. The crown prince can play wild in the palace, and he can't think of reading for a while.

One of the three major festivals a year is Wanshou Festival, which is Zhu Cihong's birthday.Because Zhu Cihong was born on the fourth day of February, the festivities had to continue after the Lantern Festival.

Because slaughter is not allowed for a few days before and after Wanshou Festival, and criminal cases cannot be tried, the judges of the Criminal Court of Dali Temple only need to take a few days off to stay at home until February before returning to Beijing for work.People can only prepare meat in advance, so as not to have only vegetarian dishes for meals during the Longevity Festival.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong was born in the cold spring season, so the meat can still be kept.If it was born in midsummer, it may stink if it is left overnight.

Three years in Longjing, here it comes.
