Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan, pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Although I don't like to hear this, it is not unreasonable."

Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to care about this: "Perhaps, it is because I am the son of my father that I have developed such a temperament. If I were someone else's son, I would not be like this. It can be seen that the root of the problem lies in In Emperor Father, if the son does not teach, it is the fault of the father, no wonder this Palace."

He has the instinct to smack in the face.

He happily finished writing the memorandum, and then took out the official seal of the town that he had carved, and asked Liu Jin to take the ink pad. He is a very delicate person, and the official seal of the town has a special anti-counterfeiting mark. With a click, it was stamped on the memorial, and he handed the memorial to Liu Jin and said, "Pass it to the Secretary of the General Administration."

Liu Jin hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and went away with the memorial in her arms.

As in the past, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao set off to ride horses to Xishan. Recently, the students in Xishan have learned less riding and archery, and have spent more time studying in Minglun Hall. Because... next year will be the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, and the examination will be imminent, and a group of candidates headed by Liu Jie will start a new round of sprints.

This imperial examination is extremely critical for Xishan Academy.

Even Wang Shouren, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen did not dare to neglect. They believed that this was the key to new learning.

Whether the new learning can be implemented, the essence is that it must prove that it also has the ability to send talents to the court. If it cannot send talents, then no matter how reasonable the learning is, it will be no more than the Ming Dynasty's non-mathematical school, such as Luo Xue. Just a toy for a group of frustrated literati.

In order to prepare for next year's Spring Festival, Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen almost gave up the value, so they gave lectures, and asked all Juren to write a stereotyped article a day.

Zhu Houzhao yelled that this is teaching nerds, no, no, but no one paid attention to Zhu Houzhao, this is not a joke, it has a lot to do with it.

Daming has its rules of the game, and breaking the rules will require countless bloodshed, and it is more likely to cause turmoil in the party, government and court. The struggle between Niu and Li parties in the Tang Dynasty and the old and new party struggles in the Song Dynasty are lessons from the past.

Therefore, use the rules to directly lose talents for the court.

The king of Joseon has been studying here for two months, and he seems to enjoy it. He reads with everyone every day, and he is very serious.

Li Yi likes the environment of Xishan Academy, of course...he loves the food of Xishan Academy even more.

The pork here is delicious, the mashed potatoes have a special flavor, there are also sweet potatoes, watermelons, and plums. Even the so-called Korean clan can't eat these in North Korea.

Every time he finished a meal with a bowl in his hand, he wiped the oil in his mouth and sighed, "It's really exciting!"

A few days ago, Fang Jifan also asked Xishan to taste the large yellow croaker sent by Pegasus, but there were few large yellow croakers, and a large pot of soup was boiled with a few big fish. , There was a bubble in the mouth.

Seeing this guy eating like a dolphin, Wang Shouren was speechless, because his eating habits were so bad that it was really a hindrance to his eyes. As a teacher, he couldn't help asking in private, "What does Your Highness usually eat in North Korea?"

"Cold noodles."

Cold... noodles... what is it...

"this one?"

"Pickles."

Wang Shouren: "..."

"There are cakes!"

"..."

"anything else?"

Li Yi said nothing.

Wang Shouren understood, and said: "Oh, don't talk when you eat or sleep, and don't rustle when you eat in the future."

"Middle!" Li Yi nodded hurriedly.

………………

Emperor Hongzhi probably glanced at the memorabilia of Zhu Houzhao, the so-called Lord of the Town, and he was silent for a moment. In the past, he didn't know much about the sea, but now, because of a large amount of fishery production and voyages to the Western Sea, he gradually began to try to understand the vast ocean. In the sea, people have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In many things, people's desires cannot be curbed by reasoning.

Just like the Beiwowei of the Zhenguo Mansion was caught fishing by Enzhun a few days ago, none of the princes in the court dared to object.

Even ministers who strictly abide by the sea ban and believe that no one can go to sea dare not say a word.

What is fish? It is food. A large amount of fishery means that the shortage of food will be relieved. Who dares to forbid the Japanese guards to fish? Isn't it afraid that the soldiers and civilians in the south of the Yangtze River will be sprayed to death by spit?

Emperor Hongzhi carefully chewed on the words in the memorandum: "If you want the country to be prosperous and strong, you must not ignore the ocean. Wealth comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea..."

When it came to danger, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glanced at Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, out of the corner of his eyes.

Ma Wensheng lowered his head, he was used to other people's strange eyes.

So, he was silent.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the memorandum: "Prince...and Fang Jifan...this is to collect debts from me. They want ships, and the Ministry of War...in Penglai Water Village, there are still four seagoing ships."

"Your Majesty..." Ma Wensheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "These four ships are the only ships in the Penglai Water Village. If there is no such ship in the Penglai Water Village, once the Japanese pirates attack..."

When talking about Japanese pirates attacking, Ma Wensheng felt ashamed.

Lost too completely.

The so-called elite soldiers and strong generals, and such a huge ship, are actually vulnerable.

Emperor Hongzhi tapped his fingers on the copy: "Yes, Penglai Water Village cannot be without a boat, but Penglai Water Village, so what if there is a boat?

"

Ma Wensheng didn't have any temper at all, and bowed down: "I will die."

"It's not your responsibility." Emperor Hongzhi said: "If you are responsible alone, it's easy to handle, but if I dismiss you, can the matter be resolved? Hey, this is the negligence of the ancestors, my ancestors. There is also a duty to do so, but I made a mistake, can I depose myself?"

After a pause: "Wealth is obtained from the sea, and wealth is obtained from the sea. This is the business of the Zhen Guofu to prepare Japanese guards. They are now specializing in fishing. I hope they will prepare Japanese. I am afraid it will not work. Penglai Water Village, let's clean it up again. Choose good soldiers and good generals... If you want to gain wealth from the sea, you must not ignore the dangers in the sea. This is the responsibility of the Penglai Water Village, and it is also the responsibility of your Ministry of War and I. This ship...Ningbo Water Village wants two ships Go, but not now, Fang Jifan said that Tang Yin can catch giant fish, I really want to see if he is bragging."

There was a moment of silence.

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little angry in his heart, he couldn't let it out, and couldn't help but point his hand at Ma Wensheng: "You..." But the words stopped abruptly, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, after all, he still couldn't bear to count down .

Ma Wensheng wanted to cry, this Minister of the Ministry of War, he really didn't want to do it anymore, he didn't feel like doing it at all, he said in a panic, so he had to continue talking about the car wheel: "I will die."

"There is also Xu Jing, there is no news so far, I think..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "I'm afraid he has been buried in the belly of a fish now, hey, what a pity for a young handsome man, the Ministry of War must find a way to find the way out again, The voyage to the West is already on the line, and we have to launch it."

"Chen Wan... No, I obey the order." Ma Wensheng said aggrievedly.

"Get up." Emperor Hongzhi's heart softened again: "I said, this is not your negligence, you just do your duty faithfully, so don't panic."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi let out a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Liu Jian said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Liu Jian said: "next year's spring, according to the law of the ancestors, it will also start. I don't know when your Majesty will announce it to the world. In this way, scholars can also prepare early."

It's not just scholars who need to prepare early, even Liu Jian is also sharpening his sword.

My own son is Juren, although he has been granted a title, but as a descendant of the Liu family, how can he not take the test.

If they can be named on the gold list, the Liu family will have two Jinshi from one school, what an honor this is.

Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi anxiously.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time, stroking the case with his hands, and said slowly: "Yes, it's time to announce it to the world, this is what scholars are most looking forward to."

He thought for a while, and said word by word: "I read it, please write it down."

Immediately Hanlin was invited to pick up a pen and prepare to record in the corner.

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "I am entrusted with the destiny of heaven, inheriting the unity of my ancestors and sages, so as to be in the world. For fifteen years now, I have been trembling all day and night, thinking about the principles of Honghua, which is illegal and unacceptable in the past. Try to test the succession of the previous generations. The king of the king, who keeps the success and calls the virtuous, does not flourish in Xia Zhiqi, Shang Zhongzong Gaozong, Zhou Zhichengkang, and the number of kings. The beauty of governance lies in the strategy, and the way to achieve it. The theory of modern Confucianism is that the sage king seeks Ren Fuxiang is the first, and it is also said that the sage of the king distinguishes the gentleman from the villain, counting the rulers to rule, and there is also a reason for this.

Pausing here, Emperor Hongzhi actually felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist. When he said Su Ye Jing Jing, he felt that it came from the bottom of his heart. He was too tired. He only hoped that, as people often say, one day, he could The crowd is full of power, and countless capable ministers have become his left and right arms, at least... can share some of his huge pressure.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of loneliness, and he was thinking, maybe, Xia Qi and Cheng Kang of the Zhou Dynasty must be like him.

He continued: "It's not easy to know whether the assistant minister is good or not, and the feelings of a gentleman and a villain. I want to be simple and virtuous as a supplement, so that a gentleman will not confuse a villain, and he will occupy his place. The affairs of the world are not one end. What is urgent today is to say, if rituals and music are taught, if talents are selected and graded, the law of tax collection, and the order of military punishment are all considered in accordance with the ancient practice, and it will not be without disadvantages for a long time. Eliminate the disadvantages and save them , I want to transform the administrative system into the early days of the ancestors, what the predecessors of Bilong did and did to get the evil way. I seek a good strategy, so I opened the imperial examination, and the best time was chosen in the spring of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi!"

Liu Jian couldn't help raising his eyes in astonishment, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Ma Wensheng also looked up at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise.

"The affairs of the world are not one end. In terms of today's urgent ones, such as ritual and music education, selection of talents and achievements, the law of tax collection, and the order of military punishment, all should be considered in ancient times. What are the disadvantages. Eliminate the disadvantages and save them. If you want to transform the administration, it is like the beginning of the creation of the ancestors. What did the predecessors of Bilong get the evil way..."

They are the ministers of the humerus of Emperor Hongzhi, obviously what surprised them the most was this sentence.

This means that there are many things in the world. As far as today is concerned, the most urgent things for the imperial court are talent selection, education, criminal law, and taxation. These urgent things have always followed the precedents of ancient times. Well, this ancient law is actually the law of the ancestors...

However, the following words are the key, but these ancestral laws have been implemented for a long time, how can there be no disadvantages? Eliminate these disadvantages and make up for them, just like when Emperor Taizu Gao created the ancestral laws. This is not a bad thing .

Your Majesty...is there any dissatisfaction with the law of the ancestors, and the intention to change the laws of the ancestors?

Of course, it is already very cryptic here, and there is no radical statement outright, but it is only said that Taizu Gao Emperor can create, as a descendant, why not?

But His Majesty is the Emperor Hongzhi who has always been accustomed to stick to the rules.

Did he even start to think about it?
