Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 903 I have this grandson with no regrets in this life

  Wang Ao and Na Wentao looked pale.

   Isn’t this sentence poking their heart?

  People are complicated, so complicated that it is impossible to judge a person by good or bad.

  In this world, the vast majority of people cannot be completely good people, and absolutely impossible. Most of them are bad people who have no conscience and are shameless.

  Because of this complexity, Wang Ao, on the one hand, has a clean sleeve and is upright. He is the emperor's teacher, enjoying the praise of thousands of people, and countless reputations.

   But at the same time, he appears conservative, he is unwilling to accept the turmoil in the world. He has many disciples and old officials, and they all disagree with what happened in Dingxing County.

  Wang Ao believed that His Majesty did something wrong, and also believed that Ouyang Zhi's behavior was dangerous.

But if you say that Wang Ao is so fierce, it is because he has selfishness, but he is too careful to treat a gentleman's belly. What's more, Wang Ao is more like a fallen leaf in the water, drifting with the tide, he still has feelings for His Majesty .

   But when the saint-grandson said these words, he was silent, even though he still adhered to the principles he thought in his heart, but at this moment, he could only be silent.

  He couldn't help tears, the corners of his eyes were moist, looking at this child, this child... No matter what he thinks, if he can have this reason, it is already a gift from heaven to Daming.

  When studying hard in this kind of cold window, the mind is full of monarchs and ministers, and when they enter the official career and accompany the emperor, they have been running for the so-called emperor's grace all their lives. Only at this time will they have such feelings.

  Wen Tao was also emotional...he had nothing to say.

  Even if he is the accused white people.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and couldn't help touching Zhu Zaimo's head. At this time, as Zhu Zaimo's mentor, he should say something. Fang Jifan said with emotion: "What a good boy. Hearing the words of the holy grandson, he thought of The hard work these days has not been in vain, as a teacher, I am very pleased..."

  Emperor Hongzhi trembled.

  How can you understand this truth at such a young age?

  Even if it is this truth, it is a bit sharp and extreme. It really shouldn't be what the emperor should say. Even if he understands it in his heart, he should rot in his stomach.

   But a child should not have a city mansion.

  This grandson...is...really...

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't say a word, and wanted to cry, so tears rolled in his eyes.

  Fang Jifan said that he was a teacher, and it was only then that Emperor Hongzhi was enlightened.

   Nursery school!

   Only nursery schools can teach such grandchildren.

  If he hadn’t been in a nursery school since he was a child, and taught him to read, how could he know the Analects of Confucius and the sage of Confucius, a little child, without a doting relative around him, would always be better-behaved.

  If there is no outing in the nursery, the original intention of this outing is not only to let the children go out for a walk, but also to experience the hardships of the people.

  The four characters of folk suffering, how difficult it is to experience it.

  If a person grows up, his thinking may be difficult to change. Even if he is allowed to experience more, if he wants to change, it will definitely not be achieved overnight.

   But...a child, it's different.

  Zhu Zaimo could have this question, presumably because...he really saw the black people, those groups in the dark corners, who could never make a sound and were not noticed by the royals and nobles.

  This black people, presumably, had already left an indelible mark on Zhu Zaimo's young heart.

  Once he had knowledge, he naturally had doubts, so he asked others for advice.

   Only then did a group of brothers headed by Wang Shouren provide targeted teaching.

  This topic may be a bit deep.

  But this is so subtle...

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan: "Jifan."

   "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look.

  He actually wanted to ask, who is Aunt Xiang.

   But before the words came out, they were swallowed back into the stomach after all.

  He knows Fang Jifan, he is not a bad person, except for some minor problems.

  So he breathed a sigh of relief, pretending that he didn't know anything.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "You have worked hard."

   "It's not hard work." Fang Jifan said seriously: "I can only feel relieved in my heart."

  Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back. At this time, he was curious about Zhu Zaimo: "Then I come to ask you, do you think Dingxing County can continue?"

  Impressive Emperor Lao Tzu actually went to ask his grandson for his opinion, which in itself is a bit ironic.

   But now, everyone looked at Zhu Zaimo with wide eyes.

  They may not really want to listen to Zhu Zaimo's opinion.

  A child, no matter how he understands, his knowledge is limited.

  They just want to see if the emperor's grandson has any amazing words.

  Zhu Zaimo thought for a while: "Yes."

   "Why?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were gentle, he loved this grandson very much.

  Zhu Zaimo said sternly: "The new law implemented by the father only touches the interests of the white people, but this kind of touch is actually limited."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head, this is also a problem he tried his best to avoid during the tax law reform.

  Although this time the gentry will be attacked.

  But Emperor Hongzhi was not a radical reformer after all, and the tax he wanted was not the life of the gentry in the world.

Zhu Zaimo said: "Of course the white people will strongly oppose it, but how dare they fail to rebel? My father is a good emperor, but he is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Before that, my father ordered the princes to inspect the camps, This time in Dingxing County, all the factory guards have come out, which is enough to prove that all of this is actually under the control of the father."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

   Zhu Zaimo had guessed his own thoughts.

  Others looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhu Zaimo said: "The white people can only use their cries to make the father change his mind. But for the black people, this move can greatly reduce their burden. The most difficult thing to innovate is actually not Above the temple, the real difficulty lies in who will preside over this innovation. Dingxing County is presided over by the elder brother. Since he is the elder brother of Sun Chen, he has countless advantages. There will be no underlings, so don’t worry about it. Some people deliberately use innovation to do things recklessly. Brother Wang and Sun Chen have said that Wang Anshi’s reform is good, but why can’t it succeed? Is it because the enemy is too strong? No, He got the support of the emperor and took control of the government, but his reform was still unable to be realized after all. The root of it was that, at the local level, the provisions of the reform came down, but the local parents and officials regarded the reform as snakes and scorpions. Do they try their best to act in accordance with the reform? They will definitely support the reform on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are obedient and contradictory, obstructing it, deliberately distorting Wang Anshi's original intention, so that the black people, instead of gaining the benefits of the reform, will suffer from the reform. Harmful, given time, people, regardless of whether they are black or white, will complain, and people will hate the reform."

  Emperor Hongzhi showed surprise on his face.

  Wang Shouren, how many weird things did he teach his grandson?

Zhu Zaimo immediately said: "So, the root of the reform does not lie in what His Majesty's original intention is, nor does it lie in how perfect and impeccable its regulations are. The root of the problem lies in Senior Brother Ouyang, and Sun Chen, for Senior Brother, I have been fascinated by the name for a long time, thinking about it, he will definitely succeed. So, don't worry, Elder Father..."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: "But... just rely on one Ouyang Zhi?"

  Zhu Zaimo laughed: "Father, Sun Chen has many brothers and nephews..."

   "..."

   Thorough!

  Fang Jifan was overjoyed.

   It’s not that Fang Jifan is bragging, when it comes to teaching and educating people... Who remembers going to our student Wang Shouren of Fang Jifan...!

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Yes, what you said makes sense."

  He looked sideways at Liu Jian and the others: "What do you think?"

  Liu Jian and others immediately began to think about it, and after careful consideration, they were shocked.

  In the past dynasties, how many reforms have been made, and which reform is not perfect. Those changed laws can be called a model of great harmony in the world, from Shang Yang's reform, to Wang Mang, to Wang Anshi, all are like this.

But…

   How many people really made it.

  The most perfect law turned out to be a laughingstock. For this reason, many people think that there is a problem with the law. People argue endlessly because of this, but after careful consideration...the words of the emperor's grandson...actually make a lot of sense.

  Genzi, in a group of... people who are willing to reform the law and promote these new policies!

  Liu Jian bit his head, he had nothing to say: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is right."

  The depression in Emperor Hongzhi's heart just now was swept away.

  Every word of the emperor's grandson gave him a sense of comfort as if he had someone who would succeed him. Although, the emperor's grandson was a little outspoken and didn't have many cities, it didn't matter.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued to look at Xie Qian.

   Both Xie Qian and Li Dongyang smiled wryly in their hearts, but they still nodded obediently: "I also think that what the emperor said makes sense."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Ao.

  Wang Ao: "..."

  He shook his head, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is my great Ming's blessing that the emperor's grandson has this insight, and God bless you."

  Ma Wensheng and others didn't know what to say.

  They were worried about the imperial court, always thinking that this reform would bring chaos to the world.

  Why does His Majesty have to gnaw on this hard bone.

  Actually, people who have reached their level, which one is not an extreme minister, may not really seek any huge benefits, what they want is fame.

  They are afraid that this terrible reform will completely reduce them to His Majesty's accomplices...

But…

  There seems to be some hope for this reform, and it seems that... the situation is not so bad that it cannot be worsened.

  So...they could only pinch their noses and honestly admit that what Saint-Grandson said made sense.

  Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes: "You are right, he is really a good boy... I love him. I have this grandson, and I have no regrets in this life."

  …

  Chapter 4 has been delivered, tired bones are falling apart, let's continue tomorrow.
