Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 262 Your Highness Chitose

  Liu Jian, a cabinet scholar, ranks first among the hundred officials.

   is the most trusted person of Emperor Hongzhi. He is the bridge connecting the palace and the various ministries of the court. To a certain extent, he is almost no different from the prime minister.

   It stands to reason that he should not express any opinion on this kind of matter.

   But Yang Tinghe's sentence went astray, but Liu Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally opened his mouth.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian. When Liu Jian said that going astray was too serious, originally, Emperor Hongzhi was more or less suspicious and worried.

  Although he felt that the prince had grown up, he also felt that what the prince said was reasonable, but after all, he felt that these remarks were somewhat deviant, and Liu Jian's words reassured him.

Yang Tinghe never expected that Liu Gong would meddle, his face suddenly changed, as Hanlin, the Qingliu of Qingliu, or Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Yang Tinghe dared to contradict the emperor to a certain extent , This is called upright.

But Mr. Liu is different. Mr. Liu is his superior and the actual leader of all the officials. Yang Tinghe is just a little Qingliu. Compared with the Wenyuange University scholar who was born in the Hanlin Academy and joined the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, it is a bit harsh to say . When Mr. Liu was doing Qingliu, you were still playing in the mud with your bare buttocks.

   Liu Jian smiled and glanced left and right. Obviously, even Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were surprised by Liu Guihui's sudden remarks.

Liu Jian continued: "His Royal Highness has a saying, which is very reasonable. The country is based on agriculture. His Royal Highness, since he is the heir of the Ming Dynasty, has personally cultivated the land. In fact, he has set an example for the soldiers and civilians in the world. "

He paused: "Although the "Book of Persuasion to Agriculture" was written by Zhou Fang, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, this article was selected by the minister and recommended to the palace. This... is the negligence of the old minister. I also applauded for it. As a scholar of the First Assistant University, the article recommended by the old minister is out of touch with reality, and it is really unforgivable."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly.

  This...maybe that's why he trusts Liu Jian.

  Admit mistakes and take responsibility.

  But such an admission made Yang Tinghe at a loss.

The chief minister of the cabinet admitted his mistake and took the responsibility of persuading the agriculture book on himself. At this time, he continued to argue for the persuasion book. .

"If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is nothing unrecognizable. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it." Liu Jian smiled: "Since the book of persuasion to agriculture is wrong, now, the prince has personally set an example and practiced it himself. A book on agriculture should be ten times or a hundred times more prominent?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up. It has to be said that Liu Jian is indeed brilliant at the theoretical level.

  What academic disputes, what Neo-Confucianism and new learning.

   Are these controversies important?

   Actually, it does matter.

  But what does it matter? At least for the emperor, it is a great fortune that the prince is willing to experience the sufferings of the people. As far as the palace is concerned, if all the people in the world know that His Highness the Crown Prince has personally set an example and farmed in the Western Mountains, then...wouldn't it be more useful than a book to persuade farmers?

  Liu Jian's focus is not on the disputes of schools and theories, but on the analysis of the interests of the palace. This matter is of great benefit to the palace, and the others... are not important.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded again and again: "What Liu Qing said is very true, I deeply agree."

  Liu Jian said indifferently: "However, His Royal Highness is going to study in the city. It is related to his safety. The old minister is quite worried. Therefore, the old minister thinks that the garrison of Xishan needs to be strengthened."

  Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful: "Sent an army to the vicinity of Xishan, in case of any eventuality?"

   Liu Jian nodded.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Prepare a charter, not only that, the prince's command also needs to be strengthened..."

   "Father..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but interjected: "My son thinks, no."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, just now you have just praised you, and you started to open a dyeing workshop, right?

  Zhu Houzhao said very seriously.

"My son studied with Mr. Wang as a talented scholar Zhu Shou. If he made such a big move, wouldn't this Xishan become a Zhan Shifu again? My son is here to practice, not only to seek knowledge, but also to sharpen himself. If there is such a big fanfare , Mr. Wang still dare to teach? Other scholars, how dare to go? It is the miners and farmers in Xishan, I am afraid that they will not dare to approach my ministers."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since experiencing the sufferings of the people, such a big fight has finally become a mere formality. Not many people know about this matter. As long as it doesn't leak out, the factory guards will secretly send some protection. There is another feather in Xishan. Lin Qianhu's house is enough to guarantee the safety of my subjects..."

  Zhu Houzhao hates this kind of fanfare very much. If it is really as arranged by his father, then it will be really boring.

   Speaking of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, remembering back then, why Fang Jifan asked himself if he wanted to change his image, so that his father would no longer treat him as a child, and said he had a way.

   Now... isn't the effect obvious? Lao Fang really has a way.

  Zhu Houzhao has now gradually started to grasp the rhythm, took a deep breath, began to grasp the context, and said with emotion.

"To experience the hardships of the people and to enjoy the joy of the people is the purpose of my son. If this original intention is lost, then my son might as well study in the study. My father's kindness is naturally known to me, but my son I think that there are not so many thieves in this world... Could it be that the father has forgotten that the father likes to take his children out of the palace for a stroll at night..."

   "..."

  Damn it...

   All of a sudden, the Snapper is...embarrassed.

  Fang Jifan has a feeling of RI dog.

He suddenly remembered the record in Ming Shilu in his previous life: "The emperor tried to lead Qinggong (Prince) out of the palace at night, and when he arrived at the Six Section Corridor, Qinggong (Prince) said loudly: 'Where is this?' The emperor shook his hand and said : "If there is no noise, these six departments live." The prince said: "The six departments are not the ministers?"

   Stand up to the end. '"

This conversation is from the Ming history and the actual record. It records that Emperor Hongzhi and the prince went out of the palace to smear and wandered around. Passing by the place where Liubu Kedao went to work, the prince spoke loudly and was stopped by Emperor Hongzhi. The prince said that these are not our courtiers, afraid What?

Emperor Hongzhi said that the duty of the Six Branches of Science and Dao is to correct the mistakes of the emperor. Once we let them know that we are out of the palace for a night tour, the impeachment memorial will come soon. You can't provoke it, you can't provoke it, please be careful. Sound, don't let anyone know.

   This conversation should have been recorded by the **** in daily life. To put it bluntly, it is private, and from the prince asking why the six subjects are so good, it can be seen that the prince was still very young at that time.

But now, Zhu Houzhao has directly exposed the old story, which means that the emperor took his son out of the palace every night to wander around, and nothing happened. Look, now his son is going to Xishan, What can happen?

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi's face turned blue and red, and he didn't know what to say.

  This son, is there a string missing in his brain?

  What... Your Majesty took the prince out to wander around at night?

  Liu Jian is also a little embarrassed, I don't know what to say, should I impeach him? Or pretend you didn't hear anything?

  Xie Qian lowered his head, with a tired look on his face, as if he was overwhelmed. As a veteran, he couldn't take it anymore.

  Li Dongyang was dumbfounded and didn't hear it.

  Yang Tinghe wanted to take this opportunity to criticize severely, but... now he is in a state of disarray.

  Wang Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the other people, all of whom had superb acting skills, and they all seemed to be deaf. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back.

  Zhu Houzhao is plausible. He thinks he is justified. At the beginning, when the father finished approving the memorials all day long, and took his sons out for a stroll at night, he didn't bring a few guards. Why is he going to Xishan by himself now with such a big fanfare?

   "What's more, back then..."

   "Okay, okay!" Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand.

   It gave me a headache when I mentioned it.

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao: "Since that's the case, it's enough to send more hidden guards. You need to be long-winded. Why do you talk so much?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "My son is just in a hurry."

  Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned cold: "Today's matter is a secret, and it must not be spread out. Otherwise, there will be rebellious officials and thieves who will take the opportunity to plot against the prince. You are no different from rebellious officials."

   You must keep it a secret. Not only can you not reveal the whereabouts of the prince, but of course you must not reveal the incident of the night tour. Otherwise, you can weigh the consequences yourself. If something goes wrong, I will naturally look for you.

   "But... Your Majesty..." Yang Tinghe felt unwilling, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully: "Has Your Majesty made farming a priority since then?"

"There is nothing wrong with teaching and entertaining." After receiving Liu Jian's support, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have taken a reassurance, and his face was expressionless: "Since Qing is Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, the prince is the most important thing. It is beneficial to the prince, why not?"

  Yang Tinghe felt a chill in his heart.

His Majesty has always rarely criticized others, but this sentence is very serious. He blamed himself, as Zhan Shifu, for not wanting to educate the prince well, but hindering the prince from studying. He said in fear: "Your Majesty Doom."

  Emperor Hongzhi ignored him, and then looked at Wang Hua with a smile: "Wang Qing's family, you have a good son."

  Wang Hua can't laugh or cry, good... good son, he has been expelled from the house by himself, and fortunately there are no newspapers in this era, otherwise, with Wang Hua's temperament, he would have published the newspaper to break away from the father-son relationship.

  ...

Hey, writing a book is really a dilemma. If you quote some historical materials in the book, everyone will think that the tiger is long-winded and the number of words is too small, but you can’t quote historical materials. Some readers say that this is a historical fantasy, which is unreasonable and nonsensical. If you are not rigorous, why would the emperor leave the palace and go to the protagonist's house casually? Then, let alone the tiger's water, if you don't explain clearly, you will be scolded every day, and the tiger will feel uncomfortable. In fact... the tiger is very strict. It’s just rigorous and rigorous, but Tiger tried his best to express it in an interesting way. It’s not because the novel is humorous that it becomes a nonsense.
