Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 13 Father and Son
On the dinner table, Zhu Yuanzhang's big rough hand pinched casually, and the shell of an egg fell off.Then he put the crystal clear eggs in Zhu Xiongying's bowl and said with a smile, "Eat!"

Then, he turned his head and said to Zhu Biao, "This kid is amazing. He knew at a young age that he should not kill people randomly and investigate cases according to the law. He is better than us and you!"

Speaking of this, he drank a big mouthful of thick porridge, ate a few mouthfuls of pickled vegetables, and continued to say to Zhu Biao, "You, you are too soft-hearted, and you are too accommodating to those scholars!"

Zhu Biao smiled wryly, "I'm not accommodating them."

"It's not what it is?" Zhu Yuanzhang was displeased. "If you should kill him, you will kill him. If you don't kill him, you won't be afraid!" As he said, he gave Zhu Xiongying another dish, "Grand grandson, eat more, eat more and grow stronger!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Biao with a wry smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, my father convinces people with virtue!"

Historically, Zhu Biao, the prince, was highly evaluated. According to traditional Confucianism, he is a qualified heir.He is not the kind of prince who is submissive to the old man, but has his own opinions.On some big issues of right and wrong, he really likes to play against his father.

"What kind of virtue?" Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully, "The handle of a knife is virtue, and being an emperor requires both grace and power!"

At this moment, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying, and changed the subject, "Father, Brother Ying has already reached the age of school. In the past few years, he has been delayed because of his poor health. Now he is in good health. My son thought, is it right?" Choose some masters for him!"

"It's over!" Zhu Xiongying thumped in his heart, what he hated most was going to school.

Besides, what is he learning in this era, four books, five classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these things are completely blind to him.Apart from knowing a little superficially, I don't know anything.

"Reading is a business!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and the expression on his face was very solemn.

Although he came from a low background, he attached great importance to cultural education.Like all people from poor backgrounds, he believes that studying well is the only way to change the fate of future generations.The same is true after becoming emperor.Not only the great Confucianism was invited to teach the prince, but the other princes also invited famous teachers to teach.

As for some well-known intellectuals in later generations who wear glasses and shake broken fans and say wild words, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a scumbag and hated scholars, that is even more unexistent.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a humble background, and he knows the role and power of culture well.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, not only vigorously promoted official education in various prefectures and counties, but also paid special attention to imperial examinations.Moreover, because he knows the hardships of the people and how difficult it is to produce a scholar from a small family, he specially gave many privileges to the scholar.

For example, state support.Once a scholar is admitted as a scholar from Tongsheng, among them, those with outstanding grades can receive state-subsidized food every year.And starting from a scholar, you can see officials without kneeling, you can use slaves, you can be exempted from taxes and labor, and you can also be exempted from punishment. Even if you make a mistake, the government cannot beat and scold at will.

A scholar can have [-] mu of land under the name of a scholar exempt from taxation, a Juren can get [-] mu of land, and a Jinshi can get [-] mu of land.

This is not preferential treatment, what is preferential treatment?This is not considered important, what is important?

On the contrary, what did the Qing Dynasty, which some people in later generations never forget, give scholars?All I got was a braid that couldn't be cut off for hundreds of years!
What Zhu Yuanzhang hates are those fake scholars who talk big and talk all day long.What I appreciate is the scholar who is diligent in the affairs of the king and has the world in mind.What he likes are those gentlemen who apply what they have learned.Instead of only knowing the false morality of forming a party for personal gain and excluding dissidents.

He just used super high standards to demand officials and students all over the world. How could he look down on scholars in later generations?How did you become a harsh scholar?

Strictly speaking, his custom-made eight-legged selection of scholars gave scholars all over the world the wealth and honor of nearly 600 years in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"If you don't study, you can't succeed!" Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Look, who can do it in court?"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, "I think that Liu Zhongzhi, a scholar of Huagai Palace, Bao Xun, Quan Sicheng, Zhang Changnian, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and others are all scholars with excellent character and learning!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Then you pass the decree and let them teach the East Palace!"

Zhu Biao thought about it again, "Should I teach alone, or with the emperors?"

At this time, in the palace, there is a place where the princes study, which is called the University Hall.The princes who have not yet entered the feudal domain all study in the university hall, and are taught by the bachelors and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

"Let's teach it alone!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, "After all, the identities are different!"

This is true, although Zhu Xiongying is young, her seniority is also young.But he is indeed the eldest son of the Eastern Palace and the future heir of the Ming Empire.

"My son thinks it's better to be with the younger brothers!" Zhu Biao said, "He's only enlightened now, so he doesn't need to teach alone. Besides, we are all a family, so why should we be so divided?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned, "Yes, you're right!" Then he sighed, "It's only a few years, these children can still get together, and in a few years they will all go away, the family We can't see each other once a year!"

With a bitter face, Zhu Xiongying pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve, "Grandfather, can grandson not go?"

Unexpectedly, the old man who always doted on him put on a straight face, and said solemnly, "No, you must study! Only by reading can you be wise, and only by reading can you tell right from wrong!"

Empress Ma also said, "Da grandson, you have to learn to read and write. Good boy, you just have to study hard!"

Zhu Xiongying sighed silently, traveling through time even once, he couldn't escape the pain of going to school.

Zhu Biao glanced at him, "Eat quickly, after eating, I will send you to the university to experience it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Why are you rushing to eat? Don't be in a hurry right now!"

After breakfast, the old man went to Fengtian Hall to handle official business and meet his courtiers.

Empress Ma led someone to change Zhu Xiongying into a new suit, a brand-new tuanlong robe, a jade belt around her waist, and a gold silk gauze crown on her head.

"My grandson is really handsome!" Empress Ma looked up and down, pulled Zhu Xiongying to the outside, and said to Zhu Biao who had been waiting for a long time, "Don't yell at him, talk about what you have to do!"

"I know!" Zhu Biao bowed his head and saluted, and then said solemnly to Zhu Xiongying, "Come here, follow!"

Zhu Yingxiong immediately complained, "Grandmother, father yelled at me!"

"What are you doing! You can't speak well, you have to raise your eyebrows?" Empress Ma scolded Zhu Biao, "You treat him as your servant, he is your son!"

"My son, I didn't make too much noise!" Zhu Biao sighed. With the second elder here, he, as a father, couldn't put on airs of a strict father in front of his son.

Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Biao and walked out of Kunning Palace slowly. When he stepped over the threshold, he looked back, and Empress Ma was still waving in front of the door, reluctant to part.

"Don't look!" Zhu Biao whispered, "What are you shouting now, even your grandma can't hear it!"

"En!" Zhu Xiongying bowed his head in response.

"From now on, you are not allowed to rely on the favor of your royal grandfather and grandmother to do anything wrong. When you go to the university to study, you can't rely on your status to bully those uncles of yours!" Zhu Biao's tone was a little harsh, "If I know, be careful what you do. butt!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Xiongying with a slight smile, and continued, "I can't do anything to you in front of the elders, but there are always things they can't see!"

"My son knows!" Zhu Xiongying had a bitter face.

When he was about to cross the threshold, Zhu Biao stretched out his big hand, "Come on!"

Zhu Xiongying was slightly taken aback at first, then stretched out his small hand and grabbed Zhu Biao's big hand.

With Zhu Biao's strong lift, Zhu Xiongying lifted his feet off the ground and crossed over the threshold.

His father's palm was exceptionally warm, Zhu Xiongying looked up and saw Zhu Biao smiling.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the figures of the father and son stretched very long in the narrow corridor of the deep palace.Two figures, one big and one small, overlapped and could not be distinguished from each other.
