In the Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace.
Zhu Youtang had a meal with Queen Zhang, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong, and the table was very quiet.
Zhu Youtang did not speak, and Zhu Houzhao was also surprisingly silent.
Even Zhu Youtang glanced at his son from time to time, probably thinking that his son was a little unusual. Was he trying to be a good boy?
Finally after lunch, Zhu Xiurong ran over and pulled the sleeve of Zhu Youtang who was about to leave, and said: "Father, my son wants to learn something, father can find someone to teach him." "Your Majesty?"
"Little girl..."
Zhu Houzhao muttered disdainful words.
Zhu Youtang didn't hear this very clearly, but Zhu Xiurong heard it with sensitive ears. She turned her head and glared at her brother fiercely.
Because this brother will criticize and attack her when she has nothing to do. It may also be because there is hatred between brother and sister. The other party doesn't like it.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "What do you want to learn? Have you finished studying the Classic of Filial Piety? If you have learned it all, ask your mother to find some new knowledge for you to learn."
< p>Zhu Xiurong blinked his big eight-year-old eyes and said seriously: "My son wants to learn to fight.""Ahem cough cough..."
Zhu Houzhao choked on his saliva from behind. Straight cough.
This tone...why does it sound so like me? Even Zhu Houzhao was wondering what was wrong with this sister.
"Prince, what's the matter with you?" Zhu Youtang looked at his son.
Zhu Houzhao raised his hand while coughing, and after a while he said: "Father, don't worry about me, I'm choking."
Zhu Youtang then turned to look at his daughter and said: " It's not that your father doesn't want you to learn, what's the use of learning those things? You're still young, you should learn something that will be beneficial to you in the future."
"Hehehe..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it anymore. Laugh out loud.
As soon as Zhu Xiurong heard this laughter, she knew that her brother was laughing at her. She seemed to be trying to be strong and said: "But I really want to learn, and I also want to help my father. Even if I learn No, I also want to learn more useful things. On the contrary, it’s the emperor... He also studies some maps and stuff. I want to see it, but he says it’s useless for girls to learn..."< /p>
Zhu Youtang frowned slightly, and then stared at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, why does this still have anything to do with me?
Father, you can’t be unreasonable, right? Everything I said is correct! It’s really useless for a girl like her to learn those things at home. Is it wrong for me to tell the truth?
"Prince, Xiurong is your imperial sister, shouldn't you always let her go?" Zhu Youtang said.
Zhu Houzhao protested: "Father, what I said is the truth. She will not be able to lead troops in war in the future. She is just a girl. She wants to use her pen to draw the map every time. You are I said that those maps cannot be destroyed, it’s her fault.”
Zhu Youtang said sternly: "Brothers and sisters should be friendly, but you always act like you are superior. Why, you are proud of being the elder brother? Xiurong, you want to learn something?" , I understand it very well, but sometimes... you have to do what you can. I will first find someone from Yanwu Hall to teach you and see if you can learn it. If you really have talent in this area, I will find someone else. Teach you."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, it's not fair. I usually want to learn, so why can't I do it?"
"You are the prince!" Zang said sternly, "You must first understand the books of the sages, know the principles of the world, and be focused! If you don't know what to do, you will be banned for half a month. You will only stay in the East Palace and you will not be allowed to go anywhere."< /p>
"I..."
Zhu Houzhao almost wanted to curse.
Why is everything my fault?
I just didn’t let my sister touch my map, and I protested against my father asking her to learn military warfare, etc. Does this become my fault again? My life is really miserable. Who did I provoke? Is it true that as I thought before, my father wants to place all his hopes on my brother?
Are you planning to give up on me?
……
……
Zhu Youtang left Kunning Palace.
Zhu Xiurong was elated, while Zhu Houzhao was dejected.
"Your father didn't really ground you, so why did you adopt such an attitude? Have you worked hard to complete your homework these two days?" Empress Zhang didn't say a word before, but now, she just I thought of teaching my son a lesson.
This is to keep up with my husband.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Mother, your father is not fair in his actions."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Empress Zhang said angrily, "Your father is fair and just in his actions, just to let you My sister is learning something, and you have this attitude? No wonder your father always wants me to discipline you. It seems that you really don’t know how to advance or retreat." "What's wrong with me?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily. road.
What made him most angry was that Zhu Xiurong, who was sitting across from him, was still looking at him strangely, as if he was provoking him.
Empress Zhang said coldly: "You are wrong because of your bad attitude!"
"Attitude?" Zhu Houzhao looked embarrassed and annoyed, obviously not wanting to accept this statement.
Empress Zhang said: "Your imperial sister usually has nothing to do. She is very talented and can learn everything at once."
"Me too." Zhu Houzhao asked, "Is she better than me?"
"Huh!" Zhu Xiurong turned his face to the side and ignored his brother.
Empress Zhang said: "She usually doesn't have as much knowledge as you do. You will govern the country in the future. You have so many teachers, and your sister only has a few internal officials to teach her. Who else?"
"She...she will get married in the future and will not be used." Zhu Houzhao's tough attitude began to waver.
Queen Zhang continued to use a cold voiceSaid: "You are brothers and sisters, both your father's children. Why is it that only you can learn and your sister can't? Besides, it's not like a member of the royal family can't learn or has no one to teach her. Does she want to Is it wrong to study?"
"I..." Zhu Houzhao was suddenly speechless.
Empress Zhang added: "And what she wants to learn is any different from what you usually want to learn? The biggest difference is that you have to learn so many skills in governing the country, and your sister She just needs to learn what she wants to learn. If this is the case and you, the elder brother, are unwilling to understand it, then in the eyes of your father, you are just using your status as brother and prince to bully your sister, nothing more. "< /p>
Zhu Houzhao said: "Mother, I don't have one."
"You still say you don't have one." Queen Zhang said, "In the past year or so, have you ever given your sister a good look? ? Every time you come, you look down, as if someone owes you something. Whenever your father wants to give your sister something, you will be dissatisfied with it, and you will be so mean to your sister while your father is still alive. , if in the future... do you think your father can rest assured?"
"I..."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that he had no reason to explain.
It feels like someone is taking advantage of me.
Empress Zhang stood up and said: "It's getting late, and it's time for you to return to the East Palace. At your age, you may have to come out to help your father share the government affairs in a few years. Your father The emperor also mentioned that in the future, you will be allowed to manage politics in the Wenhua Palace, and the ministers from the cabinet and the six ministries will assist you, and even those in charge of etiquette will follow you."
" Really?" Zhu Houzhao finally felt a little more comfortable after hearing this.
It turns out that the old father still cares about him. < /p>
With that said, Queen Zhang asked her daughter to take a lunch break together in the inner hall.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhu Xiurong stood up and followed her old mother to the inner hall obediently.
When he left, he did not forget to look at his brother provocatively, which made Zhu Houzhao very angry.
"This is such a little goblin. How can she be so good at pretending in front of her father and mother? It makes me so angry!" Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth in anger, held his head and beat his chest, "At such an age, If she is so good at pretending, what will happen when she grows up? Fortunately, she is just a girl, otherwise she might have taken away my crown prince position! It really makes me angry!”
……
……
In the Qianqing Palace.
After Zhu Youtang arrived, he did not review the memorial immediately. Instead, he sent someone to tell Zhang Zhou to enter the palace.
When Zhang Zhou entered the palace and saw Zhu Youtang, he saw Zhu Youtang standing in front of a large hanging military map, looking sad and sighing.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Zhou walked over and saluted.
Zhu Youtang turned around and looked at Zhang Zhou,There was finally a look of relief on his face, and he said: "Bingkuan is here? Please discuss the details with me."
Zhang Zhou said: "Is there a battle report from the front line that makes His Majesty uneasy?"< /p>
"No." Zhu Youtang said, "There is nothing going on at the front. I heard that Zhu Fu was attacked by the Tatars on his way north with his troops. The Tatars attacked with fire this time. I heard that there were people everywhere. He was setting fire to prevent the soldiers of the three armies from going north. Zhu Fu captured a Tatar tribe and was taking them with him to the north. But until now, the main force of the Tatars has not been discovered. "
Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "That should take time."
Zhu Youtang sighed: "I am just thinking, what will happen to the prince in the future?"
"Your Majesty?" Zhang Zhou asked curiously, "Why do you have such an idea? Hasn't the prince made progress in his studies now? Is there anything that makes your Majesty worried?"
"He is still He is too stubborn and lacks experience in getting along with others. In his eyes, he still respects himself and never thinks about others. "Zhu Youtang said, "When I saw him at noon today, Xiurong was there. I mentioned that I wanted to learn some military things, but he was sarcastic and showed no humility and tolerance as an elder brother, which made me quite annoyed."
Zhang Zhou seemed to understand Zhu You. The concept of educating children.
No matter whether the child can really learn well, he must at least be honest and friendly, and Zhu Houzhao is just a typical example of willfulness, and because Zhu Houzhao has been instilled with many people who respect him since he was a child, even he will be respected in the future. It would become the idea of the Ming Emperor, so much so that Zhu Houzhao's perversity and willfulness also made him lack the ability to empathize with others.
To put it bluntly, all this was caused by Zhu Youtang's poor discipline of his son.
You said that if you had more sons and had no particular preference for these sons, the prince would have a crisis mentality early on, or if you and the queen could better guide your son's character, as for what happened now situation?
It was useless when you should have used the stick. Now if you try to lift the stick, it is no longer effective.
Look at the old age at the age of three.
Zhu Houzhao has developed a character that is not afraid of anything, and it is difficult to correct him.
Zhu Youtang said: "Although I also know that Xiurong should not be exposed to too many military things, but from what I think, Xiurong is a very filial child. She will do it every time she sees me. You are worried about military matters because you want to share your worries with me."
Zhang Zhou smiled and did not answer.
I was thinking, is this true?
From what I can see, your daughter is also a quirky little devil. She wants to study military affairs. Are you sure she wants to help you, not to challenge her brother, or even to complete it? Do you have those wild ideals in your heart, or even want to do something cynical?
What a pity...
This daughter of yours should not have existed in the world. There are no books or records about her current or future life.It is a history book that can give any fragments of information. She is the product of my changing history, and her future is completely beyond my control.
As for what she will do in the future, I don’t know anything about it and can’t give you any advice.
Zhu Youtang sighed: "On the other hand, Xiurong, this child, has been taking paper and pen recently, writing some strange things, and saying some strange words. I think she may be influenced by you. ”
Zhang Zhou said: “I don’t understand.”
Zhu Youtang said helplessly: “I have studied many teaching plans you have written before, including those from Yanwu Hall. There are some books that are made at the bottom of the box. I have rarely read them in the past two years, but recently, for some reason, Xiurong found them. I thought she didn't know much about reading, so she probably didn't know how to read them. She knows how to distinguish the content above, but recently I discovered that she seems to know a lot more than I imagined."
Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "Then the princess should be...very. "Talent."
"Alas!" Zhu Youtang sighed, "It is a good thing to have talent, but after all, she is a woman. What can this child learn from it in the future?" What to do? I never expected her to do anything for Ming Dynasty. I just wanted her to live in peace and peace. Her life was saved from hell."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youtang suddenly looked at Zhang Zhou with a look of emotion.
Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything, you might as well say it directly."
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "This child wants to learn to fight, and she wants to learn something that is not in line with what she should have learned. I agreed to her. I knew she had talent. I didn’t give her a chance before, but she could still find a chance on her own. Now she is getting older, and she will be a big girl soon. I want her to be with you. Study and worship you as my teacher."
"This..."
Zhang Zhou knew that Zhu Youtang had long wanted to "entrust" his children to him.
Because Zhu Youtang fully trusted him and felt that he could provide the best education to these princes and princesses.
But Zhang Zhou wanted to say, do you want me to help you educate your children, or do you want me to help you level the grassland?
If you want them all, you are too greedy.
"Don't worry, it won't delay you too much." Zhu Youtang said, "This child likes to study, so you should write more things, preferably ones that she can't understand. Let her first Study hard and hone her spirit, and then you can teach her some casually, and she should be satisfied by then. "The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. . Thank you
