Zhu Youtang was determined to let Zhang Zhou preside over the affairs of the court.
If the officials don’t support it, then they will rectify you until they support you. If anyone is stubborn, then they will just let you go home and farm; if the local government does not support mining, then they will rectify it until you When your family is about to be ruined, you will know whether you should support it or not.
Zhang Zhou can also feel this incomparable trust.
Even Zhang Zhou himself was thinking that throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one emperor who could trust others unconditionally like Zhu Youtang. First there was Li Guang, then he, and even Even the Zhang brothers are included. As long as Zhu Youtang is sure of the people and things, he will not change them even if he dies.
In comparison, even Zhu Houzhao is not as good as his father.
Then Zhang Zhou went to the East Palace to give lectures to Zhu Houzhao.
It’s not really a lecture. Regarding the Four Books and Five Classics, Wang Hao and other officials in the East Palace gave lectures no worse than Zhang Zhou, or even better. Zhang Zhou didn’t have to teach Zhu Houzhao how to do it. To cater to the examiner, there is no need to talk about exam-oriented education. Anyway, it is just to go over and tell Zhu Houzhao something that others cannot tell.
"Isn't mining fun? Isn't it true that every miner is the kind of person who is very dark and takes a long time to get out?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Zhou.
He didn't seem to understand why Zhang Zhou had to go out for so long for a mining matter.
Zhang Zhou said, "You don't understand. You must also learn to respect people."
"Do I not respect Mr. Zhang? Or, Mr. Zhang thinks that as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he should Treat everyone as equal to me. I know what you mean. In fact, I also want to respect them, but look at them."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gao Feng and others standing at the door. As if to say, do you think they deserve my respect?
Zhang Zhou didn't say anything.
He also knew that Zhu Houzhao was good at being loyal. Children were quite honest and would not treat the eunuchs around him poorly. But the problem was that Zhu Houzhao still had the arrogance unique to the royal family. They will feel that everything in the world belongs to them. Under this premise, Zhu Houzhao will have an innate prejudice and look at everyone with a different perspective.
Zhang Zhoudao "Opening iron mines is different from opening coal mines. You know why I opened these mines."
"I don't want to know."
Zhu Houzhao He said, "I thought you were going to fight in Liaodong. I was just happy for nothing. I even asked my father to let me agree to go with you. If I had known that you were just mining and not doing anything else, I wouldn't have bothered to go out with you. "
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be angry.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, everyone coaxed him, except for two people, one was his father and the other was Zhang Zhou.
Even his mother did not take care of him like Zhang Zhou.
Just as he was talking, Gao Feng brought something over and said, "Your Highness, this is the military policy you wrote. Why don't you show it to Mr. Zhang?"
"It was written blindly." "ZhuHou Zhao said, "I have summarized it for a long time and feel that there are many problems in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and people with insight are needed to make changes. Mr. Zhang, I know you are capable, but no matter how capable a person is, it is impossible for him to do it alone." It changed the Ming Dynasty too much. I'm right."
"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded.
Zhang Zhou seems to be modest, but in fact he is also thinking in his heart, besides me, who else can change the fate of Ming Dynasty
Give you face and agree with your statement .
But in fact
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "So, you need me."
Zhang Zhou was speechless after hearing this. This kid is completely narcissistic and has always been I feel that I am very capable, and I don’t know how to educate myself for my arrogance and arrogance.
This is probably a common problem among naughty children.
"Look at what I have summarized. I think that in order to conquer the grassland, we should send troops from Yansui. The terrain here is the best, and then we can conquer the Western Regions. In fact, those places no longer obey the king. It has been transformed for a long time. If it can be taken down, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty's territory be able to expand a lot? Also, look at the northern part of Liaodong. If it is too barren, we can let it go first."
Zhang Zhou held it in his hand Reading the military policy written by Zhu Houzhao, I couldn't help but frown.
This boy seemed to take himself too seriously. He actually talked about military and political matters seriously, as if he was a general who could lead troops in battle, and was even formulating the overall situation.
Zhang Zhou couldn't help but think that if this kid suddenly ascended the throne and used these methods, then the family fortune accumulated by his father would probably be wiped out in a year or two. He was so clean.
He is simply a child who has not grown up, with such an immature mind. He always thinks of attacking to resolve everything. He never thought of forbearance or how to completely crush him strategically. How to defeat others without fighting.
"Wait."
Zhang Zhou couldn't help but stop the excited Zhu Houzhao.
"Sir, please comment." Zhu Houzhao looked excited, as if he was waiting for Zhang Zhou's praise.
Zhang Zhou asked, "This is all written by you."
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Of course, someone helped me with the details, such as Liu Jin, who He is really a fucking talent. Guess what, he learned a lot in Yanwu Hall. During your absence in Beijing, as an internal officer of the Admiral Yanwu Hall, he would find someone to write some military policies for him when he had nothing to do. I came to show it, and then I learned a lot."
Zhang Zhou put down the so-called military policy and asked, "Do you think that only war can solve all problems?"
< p>"Otherwise" Zhu Houzhao heard that this was probably not a good thing.The next step is probably to criticize his military policy for being full of loopholes.
It seems that all the gentlemen in the world are in this tune.
Zhang Zhou said, "If the passes of the Ming Dynasty were full of artillery, and every soldier was equipped with a firecracker, a team of a thousand people could be on the grass.There was no scruple in the original. At that time, was it important whether we conquered the grassland? Why would the grassland fight us then?"
"This"
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment.
"And by that time, the grassland will also take the initiative to surrender, just like the Jurchen and Duoyan tribes today, who are forced to accept the grant of the Ming Dynasty and can only serve as ministers to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, they can not only conquer a place, but also Is it really that important to conquer people's hearts and bring peace to the world?"
After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao began to rush up and down.
"Sir, I I think what you said is wrong. After all, you have to beat them down to convince them. What's the use of just relying on intimidation?"
Zhu Houzhao is very martial.
This Zhang Zhou can also see that this kid has been a warmonger since he was a child, and he has many fantastic ideas in his mind. When he grows up, he will not be the emperor but will be the Duke of the country. This kind of thing is done by humans
If he had been more ridiculous and given decades to govern the country, he might have messed up the Ming Dynasty.
The crisis of the Ming Dynasty had actually already appeared during the Zhengde dynasty. Many conflicts have not yet erupted, but it is certain that Ming Dynasty will turn downhill from this.
Zhu Houzhao has his innocent and kind side, and he also has his abilities, but it is more of a non-king's nonsense. Such nonsense is not a good thing in governing the world, it will lead Ming Dynasty into a ditch.
"Then think about it carefully. Zhang Zhou said, "Just think of it as the topic I gave you. The topic is to conquer the enemy without fighting. As long as you can write this topic well, then I can ask His Majesty to let you go out more." ”
Essay topic.
Don’t you like to write about military policies?
Then I will give you a topic essay, but what you write is to end wars with war. I don't agree with your strategy. I can't fully accept you being a warmonger. Then you have to come up with a compromise method, or you can fight, but it must be a fight that is limited.
"You. I don't believe it after all. "When Zhu Houzhao said this, he was already blinking.
Zhang Zhou said, "The prince had better know that your majesty hopes that you can become a well-behaved Confucian and be able to defend the Ming Dynasty, instead of always thinking Use some radical methods to solve the problem. The same is true on the battlefield. Even His Majesty wants the Ming Dynasty’s military and government to be stronger, instead of just trying to win by trickery. Otherwise, His Majesty would have sent me to the grassland to fight the Tatars.”
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and suddenly nodded unconsciously.
It seemed that he was convinced by Zhang Zhou.
He seemed to understand his father's character and wanted to fight but he still had it.
"This is like a strategic game. Do you still remember the sandbox I gave you? If you want to win on the battlefield, there are many conditions for winning, and they exist in all aspects. If you don't do well in the original I only think about winning with surprise troops. Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose?"
"What we want is the result of a hundred battles, not the strategic advantage of 30-70. If we want to fight, we must win in one battle."
Zhang Zhou put After speaking, Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.
Even Gao Feng and other eunuchs found it incredible when they saw it.
There are things that the prince is sure about, but others can refute them. This boy has always been stubborn, like a donkey.
"Think about it, think about it, and then write this policy. After writing it, in addition to reading it, I will also show it to Your Majesty. There is only so much I can remind you. If you need more, I will give it to you. Do you remind me?" Zhang Zhou said.
"No need." Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves and said, "If you prompt too much, then it is up to you whether it is me who wrote it or you who wrote it."
Zhang Zhou didn't stay in the East Palace for too long. Zhu Houzhao had to attend class in the afternoon. Although Zhang Zhou was still a lecturer in the East Palace, he actually no longer had the responsibility to attend lectures, so he had to take the initiative to avoid it when other East Palace lecturers arrived.
Otherwise, it can be regarded as not giving face to colleagues.
Zhang Zhou doesn’t need to give face to others, but Wang Hao still has to take care of him.
When Zhang Zhou came out, he happened to see a group of East Palace lecturers talking. A group of people were teaching one person, and everyone had to prepare lessons carefully. Zhang Zhou thought to himself, who is better than you, Zhu Houzhao? Even though the conditions are like this, I haven't taught you to be a talent, but you are really a talent
"Scholar Wang." When Zhang Zhou saw Wang Hao getting up and walking towards him, he couldn't help but greet him.
Wang Hao nodded, but first took a look at Gao Feng behind Zhang Zhou. Gao Feng was responsible for sending Zhang Zhou out.
Gao Feng stood aside knowingly.
Actually, Wang Hao just wanted to say hello to Gao Feng. Although Gao Feng seems to be nothing now, as a regular eunuch in the East Palace, he is likely to become the chief eunuch of the ceremony in the future. Wang Hao, a big shot in the royal family, knew very well that he wanted to have a good relationship with this group of eunuchs.
The promotion of ministers is based on seniority, while the promotion of eunuchs in the palace depends on the emperor's mood. Zhu Houzhao is not the emperor now, but he will be in the future.
"Have your Majesty told you," Wang Hao said, "this provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture will be conducted by you and me."
Because it has entered August, the provincial examination will be Initially, logically speaking, this matter should be finalized a few days before August 7, that is, around August 4.
That’s what’s happening right now.
Wang Hao obviously also knew that this time Zhu Youtang wanted to give Zhang Zhou a chance to win reputation among academic circles and scholars, so Wang Hao also did a good job this time. Preparation for being a deputy.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty mentioned it, but he didn't say much."
Wang Hao nodded and said, "It's good to know. You should also study the test questions more and come up with a few that suit your fortune." When the questions come out, you and I will think about it. There is no need to say it now. You have to wait until you enter the inner curtain before putting the questions on paper for the first time. Don't accept them in advance.A visit from a scholar. "
As an old scholar, Wang Hao still habitually talks to others in a preaching tone.
Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded.
Wang Hao suddenly also I felt a little embarrassed, probably because I felt that Zhang Zhou was just his chosen Jieyuan. Later, Zhang Zhou’s many achievements seemed to have nothing to do with his guidance. The two of them had very little contact time, and they could not go there as a teacher. Self-proclaimed.
Teaching Zhang Zhou how to do things
Zhang Zhou’s current status in the government is not higher than that of Wang Kuo
“There is also the matter of the Hanlin Academy, which you haven’t seen for a long time. In the past, manpower was also needed for the re-editing of the Huidian after it was completed. Previously, it had been taken care of by Bachelor Cheng, so you should help as appropriate. ”
Wang Hao is reminding Zhang Zhou.
You have always been the chief editor of the Ming Dynasty Huidian. You are the only one who can complete many proofreading and other tasks, although they are now published in books. , but there are still some changes to be made in the future, because after all, this book is a book of regulations. Times are changing, and the rules will also change.
Zhang Zhou also responded with a smile.
Goodbye.
Wang Hao and Zhang Zhou walked for a while, always wanting to say something, but they were embarrassed to say it.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty still mentioned it to me. However, it is said that Wang Xueshi is highly respected and ranked among the top candidates in the selection of cabinet candidates. "
"Really?" Wang Hao's face was lukewarm. Obviously, he still had a lot of concerns about joining the cabinet.
He kept saying that he wanted to join the cabinet, but things kept being delayed. , Wang Hao seems to be used to it.
More importantly, Wang Hao, as a party involved, seems to be very aware of the emperor's concern for Zhang Zhou's entry into the cabinet. He seems to understand that the emperor has always been a party to the matter. He is leaving a chance for Zhang Zhou.
Once Zhang Zhou joins the cabinet after him, how will the ranking be determined in the future?
Does the emperor not want Zhang Zhou to be the first minister?
Assuming that Zhang Zhou enters the cabinet first, then Wang Hao, as a senior master, is willing to help Zhang Zhou
To others, this matter may not be a big deal, but to Wang Hao, It's enough for him to struggle. Please remember to bookmark this chapter. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
