Wang Yue endorsed Zhang Zhou.
He also couldn’t understand Zhang Zhou’s purpose of doing this.
As a scholar, if you take the imperial examination honestly, even if you fail to win the imperial examination, it will not be very good to live your life relying on the emperor's trust.
Zhu Youtang will not think so much. Zhang Zhou gave another good thing to the court. He hurriedly told Xiao Jing to let Dongchang take over the matter.
"Before the Tatar invaders invade the border next year, don't let the news leak out. If you have any questions, let Dongchang tell you. Report to me directly."
What Zhu Youtang means Yes, this matter only requires a few Supervisors of Ceremonies, Zhang Zhou and Wang Yue to participate, and there is no need to communicate with the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Yue would naturally find it meaningful to curry favor with Zhang Zhou.
Otherwise, if a minister at the left of the Ministry of War had to use normal means to prepare for a war, even in his next life, the civil servants would not agree.
After leaving the palace.
Wang Yue couldn't help but asked Zhang Zhou, "Mr. Zhang, why do you bother so much? In fact, if you don't give the magic gunpowder, I can still stop the invading enemy."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, " Mr. Wang, I will do whatever is beneficial to the court. I have not yet considered personal gains and losses. Besides, your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, so there is no need to be self-conscious."
"Sir, you really serve the country and the people."
Wang Yue couldn't help but started to praise him again.
Flattery.
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, Lao Wang, you are so easy to flatter, it is difficult to associate you with that general who is invincible on the battlefield.
Don’t just talk about others, the good and evil sides of your Lao Wang are also very contradictory.
Don’t you have any idea in your mind?
Zhang Zhou said goodbye to Wang Yue and was about to get into the carriage when Zhu Feng rushed over and said, "Mr. Zhang"
"Speak seriously "
"Yes, Brother Zhang, I went to see my father and asked him about joining the army," Zhu Feng said with a smile, "my father is very supportive of this, especially when he knows that I want to go with Mr. Wang. When I went to the northwest, he said that I had been lucky for eight lifetimes."
Zhang Zhou frowned.
As expected, this father is not very educated. Is this praising his son or derogating him?
"You have a long mouth. Many things are still confidential. Who told you to tell them?" Zhang Zhou said.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, my father will never tell anyone. By the way, I also mentioned your magical firearm."
Zhang Zhou gave him another look. .
Does this kid particularly like to brag now?
Zhu Feng’s character is good, he can talk to others, but he is also a bit bad, he just can’t seem to hide it. Live things.
This guy must be beaten hard.
"Don't let any more leaks about this matter, otherwise you won't even think about going to the northwest."
Zhang Zhou almost said in a threatening tone.
"Okay. Listen to Brother Zhang." Zhu Feng said, "By the way, my father alsoI want to invite you to come over, but I haven't had time to treat you properly. ”
Zhang Zhou said, “No, I have been too busy preparing for the exam recently, and there are so many things besides preparing for the exam, I don’t have time.” ”
“My wife’s side”
Zhang Zhou immediately thought of Ning Tong’s appearance as a deeply resentful woman.
“Your wife is not my wife, right?” She is better,"
Not only did he want to ask for Jin Ping Mei from himself, Zhang Zhou finally wanted to give this book a name. Otherwise, Zhang Zhou always felt that those weird names would bring a lot of social problems. Question.
It seems that the ban on this book in the Ming and Qing dynasties was justified.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a meeting at Meridian Gate. At that time, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Many ministers seemed to want to remind the emperor that the deadline had come and it was time to talk about Zhu You's previous "magic words". However, Zang seemed not to remember such a thing.
It was not until the end of the court meeting that Zhou Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and said, "Your Majesty, in the past few years, there have been many wandering Taoist priests among the people. If anyone spreads rumors and involves royal matters, His Majesty is requested to order the place to be investigated strictly to prevent the rumors from spreading. ”
Zhou Jing did not directly target Zhang Zhou’s rumors about the earthquake.
But what he said was more serious, because he mentioned a thorn in Zhu Youtang’s heart, that is, the folk There have always been rumors that Zhu Youtang was not the biological son of Emperor Chenghua.
The reason for this rumor was that when Concubine Wan Gui was doting on the Sixth Palace, she always wanted to depose Zhu Youtang, the uncontrollable prince. Even before Concubine Wan Gui's death, she had made relevant efforts. In addition, Zhu Youtang's own birth date and experiences in the first five years of her life were unclear and untrue.
In the end. Whether Zhu Youtang was known to Emperor Chenghua as soon as he was born, whether he was fostered and refused to be revealed, or whether he was not known to Emperor Chenghua until he was five years old, is still a matter of debate.
The emperor. The issue of bloodline has always been the most important thing for the imperial court. It is impossible for the emperor to condone the spread of such rumors.
But Zhu Youtang was uncharacteristically easy-going this time and said, "Rumors stop only the wise, I am more like this." To block people's mouths is often counterproductive. If you can block people's mouths, can you control people's hearts?"
Many ministers have opinions on this.
That's it, the rumors stop at Wise man, but how many wise men are there in this world? In many cases, it is not just three people who become tigers, just what everyone else says
Zhu Youtang said, "You gentlemen will not mention it, but I also know that today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but even if There is an earthquake happening right now. If it will take two days to reach the capital, it only says today, not when today. Can't you guys wait two days before talking about it? Next topic. "
The emperor did not want to talk about nonsense, and the ministers also changed the subject.
Zhou Jing began to submit the annual accounts.
"In autumn After grain taxes and other taxes have been collected from various places and entered Taicang one after another, detailed figures are being summarized and reported. It is estimated that the settlement will be completed in a few days."
North KoreaAfter the meeting.
Zhu Youtang is feeling a little depressed. For him, he has also been very anxious these days. He is also waiting for news.
Dai Yi seemed to understand what the emperor was thinking very well. On the way to the East Palace, Dai Yi explained it to the emperor
"Your Majesty, recently there seems to be a stone in my heart that has never fallen to the ground. , but he said whether the earthquake would happen. If it did happen, it would be a miracle. I am afraid that no one in the court would doubt Mr. Zhang’s ability to predict the secrets of heaven."
Zhu Youtang glanced sideways at Dai Yi.
You really thought of me together.
Zhu Youtang said, "It's impossible to do things like earthquakes accurately."
Dai Yi understood it as soon as he heard it.
Even the emperor was not very confident about this. If this was not what the emperor said "Bing Kuan" again, he probably would not have mentioned it in the court.
Could it be that those ministers knew that those who had predicted earthquakes in advance since ancient times were all liars, and the emperor was ignorant and did not know?
It would be nice to have a precedent of correct prediction in advance.
The key is that there is not a single successful case from various official historical records.
As he spoke.
The group has arrived at Wenhua Hall.
At this time, there was no one watching outside the Wenhua Hall. Zhu Youtang thought to himself that it seemed that his education had worked.
Enter the Wenhua Hall.
The lecturer that day had not yet entered the palace, but Zhu Houzhao was still drawing something on the paper.
Zhu Youtang frowned after seeing it.
I just thought that this kid would no longer send people to keep an eye on him, but now it seems that he is still pretending.
Based on the father’s understanding of his son, is he the one who loves to learn?
“Prince”
After Zhu Youtang walked in, he said coldly road.
Zhu Houzhao was yawning. When he saw his father coming, he closed his open mouth and walked over and said, "Father is here."
" You didn't sleep well." Zhu Youtang frowned.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night."
Zhu Youtang rolled his eyes at his son, and then picked up what his son was pretending to write. It doesn't matter if you don't read it. It looks like he's really putting on an act.
None of the crooked things on the paper are serious words, not even strokes.
Where is the ghost painting talisman?
"What is this?" Zhu Youtang said coldly, "Let you learn. Are you deliberately making trouble with me? Are you sending someone out to inquire again?"
Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably scolded and said with a confused face, "No, father, this is the mathematics taught to me by Zhang Zhou and Zhang Qing's family, which is arithmetic. He said that as a prince, in addition to having knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, In addition to understanding, you should also know something about arithmetic, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived by others. Only by knowing the affairs of the world and having real skills can you assist your father in governing the Ming Dynasty."
"Well. ."
When Zhu Youtang heard this, it sounded pretty good at first.Pleasant to the ear.
The brat’s ability to make sense is getting better day by day. It seems that this brat also knows what I like to hear
Being a prince should learn more skills
p>
Zhu Youtang said with a straight face, "You want to use your righteousness to prevent me from punishing you, right? This is arithmetic."
Zhu Houzhao said, "Why not? Look at this, it is one, This is two and this circle is zero. In arithmetic, there is nothing. If it is a one and a circle, it is ten."
The Arabic numerals are Zhang Zhou’s ten days of retreat with Zhu Houzhao. Taught.
The naughty child’s learning ability is first-rate. He was only taught basic rules. After a few days, Zhu Houzhao was able to complete basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations.
Arabic numerals are indeed very simple, and in terms of calculation rules, compared to the nine-chapter arithmetic that is currently popular, it is really much simpler. Compared with the abacus, it is difficult to master multiplication and division. , the calculation on paper is also more convenient.
Precisely because arithmetic is easy to learn but difficult to master these days, accounting is also a very popular profession.
Zhu Youtang frowned and listened to his son's words, and after a while he asked, "This is what Bingkuan taught you."
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao said.
Zhu Youtang said, "When did you teach me?"
Zhu Houzhao replied directly, "It was during those few days when I spent time with him day and night that he taught it to my son. Originally, my son didn't want to He was studying, but he randomly mentioned a few numbers. For example, there were thirty-five warehouses, and each warehouse contained fifteen shi of grain. Then he used this to calculate how many shi of grain there were in total. Erchen thought it was fun, so he wrote it down. ""It's fun." Zhu Youtang frowned. It was the first time he heard that his son thought learning knowledge was fun. He asked, "What about you? What are you counting?"
"This"
Zhu Houzhao was talking eloquently just now, but he was asked what he was counting.
He hesitated and refused to speak.
Because he is calculating how much "net worth" he still has, Zhu Houzhao also knows how to manage private money. He finally extorted 6,500 taels of silver from his uncle, and now he only has 4,000 taels left. If he doesn't have enough money, he doesn't know how his money is spent. Of course, he has to make careful calculations.
I was just waiting for my dad to come.
He was bragging in front of his father, but he couldn't bear to say anything.
He knew that he couldn't confess to his father.
