Father can be an enemy to the country

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Zhen waited for the ministers to leave, then walked into the hall with a smile.

"Brother."

"You brat, you still know how to come and see your eldest brother?" The prince smiled and stood up to greet him: "Have you visited the queen mother and your mother-in-law?"

"That's necessary." Lao Liu smiled and saluted: "I also had a snack in Kunning Palace. I said I had eaten, but my mother insisted on letting me eat."

"Haha, my mother feels sorry for you." The prince patted his shoulder affectionately, and the fleshy feeling completely disappeared. He couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Why have you lost weight again?"

"Don't mention it, the life of a Confucian scholar is simply not a human life." Lao Liu said with a bitter face: "Not only was the food poor, but the homework was doubled, and I was really exhausted... This is not an exaggeration, it was Some people are really exhausted."

He poured bitter water on his elder brother again.

"Hey, let's go, I'll take you to find the emperor, we won't go." The eldest brother is the eldest brother after all. He pulled the sixth brother and walked out: "Guozi studies have to change, we can't let those people blindly toss."

"Don't worry, brother, my father has changed my identity for me." Lao Liu quickly smiled and said, "I won't be allowed to be a student anymore."

"Then what do you think it is?"

"Xue Cheng." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I will be the one to offer wine and serve as secretary. Life should be easier."

"That's it." The prince then stopped and looked at Lao Liu suspiciously: "Father would be so kind... Oh no, I mean, haha, okay, that's what I mean."

"You are truly as wise as your father, and as wise as your elder brother." Lao Liu smiled and said, "I gave this official because of the mission needs, otherwise dad would just say 'increase efforts'..."

"Hahahaha." Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing and said: "We should stop arranging the father."

Then he pulled him to a chair aside and sat down: "Tell me, what is the mission?"

Lao Liu briefly recounted the conversation with his father, except for the Song Lian part...

"That's it..." After Zhu Biao heard this, his expression became serious. First, he quickly walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a note, stamped it with his private seal, handed it to the eunuch beside him and said: "Send it to the Ministry of Officials quickly and ask them to handle it urgently. The official complaint must be returned before Youshi. "

"Here." Hearing this, the eunuch quickened his pace and raced against time to get it done.

"Your guess is probably right. I'm afraid there are problems on both sides, and he doesn't even think he has a problem." Then the prince walked back to Zhu Zhen and sat down, stroking his neatly trimmed lips and whiskers with his fingers, and said in a deep voice:

"In short, this is not a black and white issue. You have to have a deep understanding of their respective positions and the roots behind their positions."

After a pause, he said earnestly: "Remember, this is just a dispute over orthodoxy among a group of literati. We should not get caught up in it. We should jump out and examine what can be used for us and what should be resolutely discarded. Our ultimate goal is to find a way. The path that suits Ming Dynasty. Rather than classifying them as right or wrong, do you understand?"

"I understand." Lao Liu nodded vigorously and said, "Eldest brother is now the hot pot on the top of Mount Tai - his level is too high."

"Hahaha, brat, do you even want to arrange it with me?" The prince laughed and said, "My father has allowed me to practice government affairs for so many years. Is it in vain?"

"Not everyone can practice it." Lao Liu said with a smile: "You have to be the eldest brother."

"Stop flattering me." The prince laughed and scolded: "Tell me, what else do you want me to do for the Chu Palace?"

"Hehe, it's really the parents who gave birth to me and the eldest brother who knows me." Lao Liu said with a smile: "There is something. I want to transfer Zeng Tai to the Guozixue. I heard that Zuo Siye happens to be vacant."

"Zeng Tai?" The prince was stunned and said, "He is already the chief envoy of a province. How can the small temple of Guozixue accommodate a second-grade official like him?"

"Both princes are already serving as eighth-grade academic prime ministers. What else does he have to feel wronged about?" Zhu Zhen said plausibly: "Let him be my immediate boss. Is this a blessing he has earned over many lifetimes?"

"What you say makes sense." The prince couldn't help laughing and said, "But why does it have to be him?"

"Brother, don't you know how good he is?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "That's really the best of the best, he can be called a 'barbell'. This kind of person is a top troublemaker."

"Hahahaha, Barbell, your mouth is too poisonous..." The prince was amused and laughed again. In the past half month, he hadn't laughed as much as he did right now.

"Sure enough, it was just a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. When this guy was around me, he would argue every day, which annoyed everyone. So when the vacancy in Jiangxi became available, they all unanimously recommended him to be an official."

"Hahaha, he can really do it wherever he goes. If you give him a fulcrum, he can lift the entire earth." Zhu Zhen also laughed.

"Haha, do you still believe that the earth is round?" The prince smiled.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded half-jokingly and half-seriously: "When I become the principal of the Guozi School, I will make all students believe that the earth is round."

"Then I'll wait and see." The prince smiled nonchalantly: "If you can make all the Confucian scholars in the world give up the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round, then I will also believe that the earth is a ball."

"Brother will definitely see that day." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Don't ask me, brother, what have you been busy with lately?" After talking about the Imperial Academy, the prince smiled again.

"You won't be impeached by the official, and the prince will spy on the government?" Lao Liuban joked.

"Are you so careful?" The prince glanced at him and sighed softly: "Yes, the lesson of the second and third children is right in front of you. It is right to be careful."

As he spoke, he said sadly: "There are really more and more people who keep saying they are good for you, but try to alienate your brotherhood."

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"But I won't change. In my eyes, you will always be the brats I brought up one by one." The prince patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said, "As I said, you will leave a few years later. , please help me more."

"I will obey the arrangements of the elder brother." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "As long as the elder brother lets me go to sea when the time comes."

"You kid, you're all just being selfish now." The prince laughed dumbly and said, "You don't have to remind me all the time. There's no point in agreeing to this now. We'll have to wait and see what happens."

"Oh, okay." Lao Liu nodded helplessly. He felt more and more clearly that the old thief would not let him go easily. Brother, it’s quite embarrassing...

"Okay, I will now officially appoint you as Counselor for Government Affairs. You will be able to hear about all major military and state affairs." The prince smiled and said, "Now can you listen to me talk about your troubles?"

"Brother, time is limited, let's keep the story short." Lao Liu looked at the sky and said with a smile.

"You will go to Guozixue one day later to take office." The prince said strangely.

"That won't work." Zhu Zhen insisted strangely: "If I don't go back today, those people named Hou will think that I am afraid and dare not come!"
