Chapter 7 Study hard and make progress every day
The main sacrifice is over and the new year has begun. The twelfth year of Hongwu has arrived!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang also rested in the palace happily. Looking at the princes, concubines and others, he was in a good mood.
Zhu Xiongying ran around with Zhu Xi, who spoke fairly fluently. Zhu Yue couldn't walk steadily and could only worry. As for Zhu Yunxi, he was busy nursing.
Early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Xiongying got up early and changed into court clothes.
The prince's guard of honor was already waiting at the Meridian Gate. Five pairs of dragon flags were fluttering in the wind, one was the Big Dipper flag, one was in front of the flag, and one was in the back with the leopard's tail. There were three soldiers in total.
Outside the Kaiping Prince's Mansion, Kaiping Prince's wife Lan and her three sons, dressed in court uniforms, had been waiting respectfully.
When he saw the huge ceremonial guard of the prince appearing, Chang's eyes lit up. The three brothers Chang Mao, Chang Sheng and Chang Sen were also very excited. In fact, they had seen the prince before, but only very rarely. Especially the prince.
The concubine had just passed away less than two months ago, and they were also very worried.
"My concubine and my entire family respectfully welcome His Highness the Grand Sun!"
"Your Majesty Chang Mao (Chang Sheng, Chang Sen) respectfully welcomes His Highness the Grand Sun!"
Zhu Xiongying hurriedly got off the carriage, and the queen's personal maid Yu'er hurriedly followed.
Looking at Mrs. Chang, Zhu Xiongying began to cry, "Grandma, grandson is here to apologize."
Mrs. Chang also started to cry and said quickly, "Your Highness, I dare not do this."
Yu'er hurriedly whispered, "Great grandson, the Queen has told you, it's better to enter the house."
Zhu Xiongying reacted, and Chang naturally also reacted.
Chang Mao quickly stood up and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, please."
The main seat in the main hall naturally belongs to Zhu Xiongying. Even though he is only five years old now, he still needs his grandmother Chang to hold him before he can sit on it. But it doesn't matter, the main seat belongs to him.
"Uncle, the emperor's grandfather gave you a royal horse." Zhu Xiongying said to Chang Mao, "Uncle."
Seeing Zhu Xiongying crying again, the Chang family members hurriedly coaxed her and were in a hurry.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma had heard the report a long time ago. They had known it for a long time since Taisun started crying when he saw Mrs. Chang, and when he arrived in the main hall he started crying again without saying a few words.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Although Ying'er is precocious and sensible, she is still a child. When our parents were away, we were already fifteen. Ying'er lost her mother at such a young age. This..."
"Ying'er still has a father, grandfather, and grandmother. You can cry when you go to your uncle's house." Empress Ma frowned, but still advised, "Just cry, because the child is afraid that we will worry about everything."
It’s boring in my heart.”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something and sighed again, "Our eldest grandson is just too soft-hearted."
After rolling her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma said angrily, "Then what do you think is good for Ying'er to be arrogant? Ying'er cares about the people in the palace and doesn't punish them for trivial matters. Is this a bad thing?! Let me tell you, Ying'er will be arrogant in the future.
He must be a good emperor who cares about the people, and is better than you!"
"It's good to be better than us. We also want to be better than us!" Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice and whispered, "We are the founding emperor, and we will be the emperor immediately. It is nothing to bear some infamy. Sister, we have planned it. After a while
We will get rid of Hu Weiyong in a day! That thief is at the top of the list of officials. He dares not to repay us for the important matter of life and death! Prime Minister Zuo should be killed!"
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang angrily and asked, "Can you tell me what happened in the court?"
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the ridicule and continued, "We have abolished the prime minister, and we will not allow future generations to establish prime ministers in the future. By then, we will want to see how these hundreds of officials fight against the emperor!"
Looking at her proud husband, Empress Ma advised, "Chongba, you want to depose the prime minister, I don't care. I just want to advise you, don't kill too many people, don't implicate too many people."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said, "Don't talk too much about important matters in the court, we know it well!"
Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang had a quarrel, and Zhu Yuanzhang angrily went to see other concubines. He couldn't stay in Kunning Palace any longer. The queen just didn't know how to follow me. It would be great if she could coax me some time.
!
Zhu Xiongying cried at Chang's house and was then sent back to the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also back. We are not here to see the queen. Our eldest grandson is sad today and has to coax him.
While eating, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Ying'er, we want to invite some famous scholars to give lectures to you in shifts after the new year. We thought about it, and there are some talents in the Imperial College who will study with you then. That old man Song Lian
If you don't come, his son Song Shen is quite knowledgeable."
Queen Ma coughed twice, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately responded, "We must respect our teachers now."
Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "We recently ordered people to pay attention to Ru Yun, a native of Zaojiang, Hengshan. He has a photographic memory of Tang and Song poetry. He can recite poems from thousands of schools of thought at the age of six. He has read "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" by the age of ten. Now he is selected as a tribute student to enter the Imperial College. We
Let him read to you."
Zhu Xiongying listened patiently, but suddenly asked, "Grandfather, why no one taught me the art of war, bow and horse?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Yes, yes! We have thought about it for a long time, but our grandson is smart, so we have to choose carefully!"
Empress Ma was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang. She was originally worried that her grandson would be tired and wanted to practice horse arching when he was older. But now it's better, why are you still choosing?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, we are a commoner who has taken over the country, and our ability to lead troops is not bad. But you must remember that you are the grandson, and you will be the prince and the emperor in the future. Our grandson cannot be
A warrior cannot just be a general in charge of the army. My great-grandson, knowing that people are responsible for their duties, must control those arrogant and powerful generals!"
Empress Ma stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily, "What more?! How talented is Ying'er? Just tell me this!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stopped talking. Thinking about it, Ying'er was too young.
Zhu Xiongying lay on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and whispered, "Grandpa Huang, don't tell me in front of Grandma Huang. Ying'er likes to hear about Grandpa Huang's achievements. Grandpa Huang is a great hero!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was even happier because our eldest grandson was so considerate. Even Biao'er was not so considerate when he was a child!
Empress Ma was both angry and funny. The pair of grandparents and grandson were so mysterious. Do you really think you couldn't hear what they were whispering there?
Zhu Xiongying's life seems to have not changed much. For him now, the most important thing is to please the adults. His biggest advantage is that he relies on his identity as a kid.
But the most important thing is naturally relying on the favor of his imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother, which gives him a feeling of being "confident".
Studying hard is what Zhu Xiongying needs to do now. He doesn't take everything for granted just because he thinks he has been favored. He knows that he still has a lot to improve.
Traveling through time is certainly an advantage, especially coming from the era of information explosion. In addition, having a certain cultural foundation and reading some miscellaneous books means that one is "well-read".
It’s just that Zhu Xiongying knows better and must not underestimate the IQ of the ancients, especially those who are famous in history.
Simply think about it, it is obviously unrealistic for an ordinary person before time travel to become a prince, worship a general, and subdue the court in ancient times. Especially in the field that he is not good at, politics, this is a completely unfamiliar field.
.
Some things still need to be studied hard, especially those areas that have not been involved in before, so naturally they need to be studied hard even more.
"Ying'er, we study Confucianism, but when we govern the world, we can't just believe in what one family says!"
"As I said, our grandson is not going to be admitted to the imperial examination! Ying'er, I just need to know the Four Books and Five Classics. There is no need to study so deeply."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang starting to educate his grandson again, Empress Ma just smiled and said nothing. Although sometimes, she did not really approve of some of Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.
But she still has great faith in Zhu Yuanzhang's ability. Being able to transform from a commoner to an emperor sitting on the throne is not an ordinary person. Ordinary wisdom is enough. What's more, the emperor will suppress the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty.
, this is even more great wisdom!
Zhu Xiongying is studying seriously, and he feels that he is also making continuous progress. He seems to be relatively young, but he has a mature heart, so he naturally knows what to do and what to pay attention to!
