Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 255: Your Highness is talented
Chapter 255 Your Highness is talented
Liu Jian's expression is stable, but his heart...is a little confused...
is it wrong?
There was a lingering question in his mind.
If it was Liu Jian thirty years ago, he might not have this question, he would even jump out and accuse Wang Shouren righteously.
But now... After going through the ups and downs of the officialdom, and seeing so many things, deep down in his heart, he doesn't know that the Analects of Confucius is useless.
But…
Of course he couldn’t imitate Wu Shizhong. After all, he was a respectable person, and he was the first-class chief minister of Ming Dynasty.
So he remained silent, but deep down in his heart, the seed of doubt cast by Wang Shouren was deeply rooted in his heart.
Just as he was about to enter the sedan chair, Liu Jie suddenly said, "Father..."
"Huh?" Liu Jian got into the sedan chair and looked at Liu Jie instead of pulling down the sedan chair curtain.
Liu Jie said: "When I read the previous book on persuading farmers, I found it very reasonable, but today, listening to Mr. Wang read it, it is ridiculous."
"Oh." Liu Jian replied lightly, but his heart was sour. If he didn't care about the image of a loving father and a minister, Liu Jian really wanted to give this incompetent son a big blow.
Is the book on persuading agriculture something you can discuss?
"After working today, although I am exhausted..." Liu Jie was silent for a moment, and then talked about his own feelings: "Although I am exhausted, but now I feel very fulfilled, as if I am no longer as useless as before. "
"Studying at home is useless?" Liu Jian frowned and said sternly.
Liu Jie thought for a while and said: "Reading is certainly useful, but after reading a lot, it becomes more and more confused. Did father see that Zhu Xiucai? Zhu Xiucai repeatedly answered Mr. Wang's questions, but repeatedly pointed to the point. It's really admirable, he has such insight at such a young age, and his son is not as good as him."
"..." Liu Jian's complexion was a little ugly: "If he wants to come, he has only read one Analects."
"Otherwise, didn't Zhao Pu become a generation of sages with half of the Analects of Confucius?" Liu Jie showed a bit of shame on his face, and said, "What I mean by my son is that my son is already forty years old, and his fame and fame are not enough." He is not yet successful, so far he has not even become a human being. He is really ashamed of his ancestors, and even more ashamed of his father. The son has read a lot of books in the study, but the more he reads, he is not even as good as a young scholar, and he feels even more ashamed. "
"Here, the son learned how to farm. After one day, he realized that farming has such a great knowledge. The son admired Mr. Wang very much, and even more admired Mr. Wang's teacher. Naturally, the son was actually dull and didn't know what they were talking about. It is right or wrong, but since my son has achieved nothing, then you might as well learn more from them..."
Liu Jie's expression is very serious, he is serious.
He feels that today is very fulfilling. Although he is physically and mentally exhausted, he feels better than sitting in the study all day long.
He didn't know whether Mr. Wang's reasoning was right or not, maybe it was because of his dull aptitude.
But what does it matter?
After today, he has a new awareness in his heart, bending over to do something, even if it is just a small thing, is better than being locked in the study all day long.
He only won one scholar, but because he has a father like Liu Jian, he has been under his halo all his life. This kind of pressure is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
So, he looked at his father without saying a word, with hope in his eyes.
Liu Jian felt at this moment that his son was grabbing Lao Tzu's skirt, and then bowed left and right, raising his hands to incite wildly.
Face... hurts.
But Liu Jian's temperament is used to the collapse of Mount Tai and he doesn't change his color. He just said lightly: "Oh, since this comes from your heart, then being a father can't stop you."
"Thank you, father." Liu Jie was ecstatic.
"But..." Liu Jian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You must keep one thing in mind."
Because he was happy, Liu Jie said with a smile on his face: "I don't know what other teachings my father has..."
Looking at his son's happy face, Liu Jian sighed inwardly, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Don't tell others when you are outside, that my father is your father. Even if people recognize him, he will deny it to death."
Liu Jie had no objection, and nodded earnestly: "My son knows."
Liu Jian then pulled down the car curtain.
Sitting in the sedan chair, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Fortunately, the imperial court has appointed Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism as a necessary commentary for the imperial examination. If not, the scholars in this world may be in chaos.
That kid Fang Jifan is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. If he launches this Wang Shouren, I don't know how big a storm it will cause.
My son...is not up to snuff.
…
At this time, Fang Jifan sneezed.
Someone scolded themselves?
Actually, Fang Jifan is not lazy. He also wants to go to Xishan to see his lovely potatoes. The function of these potatoes is much stronger than that of sweet potatoes. Not only is the yield high, but it is also more suitable as a staple food.
What's even more frightening is that the growth cycle of potatoes is short. With the same yield per mu, potatoes can be harvested at least twice a year. No matter how amazing sweet potatoes are, they are no match for potatoes.
It's just... Wang Shouren went to give a lecture today, and Fang Jifan didn't want to join in the fun.
Although for Wang Shouren, he is his mentor, it is because of his guidance that he understands the truth.
But in reality, Fang Jifan doesn't think so. Wang Shouren is like an active volcano, which contains huge power and is ready to erupt at any time. For such a person, as long as there are some variables in the trajectory of his life, his thoughts will naturally flow. It will gradually start to take shape.
Fang Jifan is just this variable.
Although he claims to be a man of two generations, he seems to see farther than the ancients, but in terms of theoretical level, Fang Jifan is still far behind Wang Shouren.
As for the many trends of thought in the previous life, not to mention that Fang Jifan probably only has a half-knowledge, but even if he is really proficient, the theory is too advanced, which may bring greater harm to the society.
How did Wang Mang’s new system come to an end? This is a lesson learned from the past.
Theoretically speaking, the content of Wang Mang's new system was considered advanced in the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Jifan is a moral person, there is no doubt about it, even if thousands of people deny it, Fang Jifan himself knows that he is just like Wang Xue, no matter what immoral things he does, at least he still has a conscience in his heart , Stick to your own moral bottom line.
Thus, he didn't want to join in the fun, and let those scholars who came to ask for advice see him, and believed even more firmly that Wang Shouren's thoughts were all given by him.
This honor should belong to Wang Shouren, so naturally he should be allowed to shine.
Fang Jifan has already made up his mind, and in his whole life, he will not mention the unity of knowledge and action, hum, let you see what is called the Three Views, and what is called Virtue and Art Shuangxin Teacher Fang.
The only thing that makes Fang Jifan uneasy is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Although it was Fang Jifan who suggested His Highness the Crown Prince Xishan, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Would it be... bad for His Highness the Crown Prince to learn from Wang Shouren?
This little student Zhu is really unreliable, but he is eager to change the impression in the emperor's mind.
Forget it, the matter has come to this point, who cares, it’s messed up... Let’s say Liu Jin instigated it. Anyway, Liu Jin is used to taking the blame for the prince. Moreover, there is no difference between living and dead for the guy who is gone below. A eunuch, even if he dies for the prince, it is worth it.
…
The next morning, at the dawn of dawn, Zhu Houzhao excitedly wore a Lun scarf and Confucian shirt, ready to rush to Xishan.
Mr. Wang rested for three days, and today is the second day. Such a great learning opportunity should not be missed. It is said that today is to mine.
Zhu Houzhao was very excited. In his opinion, compared to other scholars, with his strong physique, none of them could fight. He was praised by Mr. Wang for farming yesterday, saying that he turned over a lot of land. , twice that of other scholars.
This is his strong point.
Of course, confidence is very important. Mr. Wang praises him every day. Xiao Zhu Xiucai is now a leader among scholars and has a sense of accomplishment.
He took Liu Jin with him. As for Liu Jin, he had already set up dozens of bright and dark whistles, mainly for protection along the way. When he arrived at Xishan, the defense could be relaxed. After all, the imperial army was also stationed there.
Zhu Houzhao urged Liu Jin with his hands behind his back. Liu Jin trotted forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, why don't you leave after having some breakfast..."
"Don't eat it." Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "The deliciousness in the world is not as good as steamed cakes. Compared with steamed cakes, other foods have no appetite. Hurry up!"
"..." Liu Jin felt incredible. When she first entered the palace, it was because the family couldn't eat the hard-to-eat steamed cakes. Thinking about eating steamed cakes for a living in the future, it would be better to cut them clean. At least there is white rice eat.
Zhu Houzhao has gotten on his horse.
But at this time, someone hurried over and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Zhu Houzhao was riding on the horse. Looking back, it was Zhan Shi Yang Tinghe and Shao Zhan Shi Wang Hua.
The two came hand in hand, with deep concerns.
Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival Muxiu, as the head and deputy officials of the East Palace, it is not allowed to Muxiu.
Yesterday, they waited in Minglun Hall for a full day, but they didn't see the prince coming to study. Today, they paid attention to it. If the prince doesn't take the initiative to come, they will stop him.
"Oh, hello, masters." Zhu Houzhao looked at the two masters with a smile on his face without fear.
Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Why doesn't Your Highness come to study? Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the crown prince is the future heir. Only by reading can you be sensible. If you don't study, you will be useless. Your Highness must not be playful."
Zhu Houzhao sat on the horse, thought for a while and said: "My knowledge is already very profound. Even Mr. Wang said that I am an extraordinary scholar. I have already understood the principles of sages, so what else should I learn?"
Yang Tinghe was forced to smile at first, after all, he was facing His Royal Highness, he is the king and he is the minister.
"Which Mr. Wang..."
Zhu Houzhao sat on a tall horse, looked down at the two masters from above, and blurted out without hesitation: "Mr. Wang Shouren..."
