In fact, Hongzhi only listened to it carefully, and he knew that what Zhu Houzhao recited was "Mencius Boyi Bizhou". Usually, Zhu Houzhao was fond of playing, and what he learned was just a superficial book of rites. As for Mencius in the Four Books, according to Hongzhi As far as the emperor knew, he hadn't started learning at all. This is because many articles in "Mencius" have collected a lot of art about emperors. In the eyes of Hanlin, it is better to start teaching from the easier "Book of Rites" and "Analects of Confucius". " and "The Analects of Confucius", and then learn "Mencius", it will be much easier.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao didn't even figure out Chunguan and Xia Bo in "Book of Rites", but now, this "Bo Yi Pi Zhou" is memorized by heart.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was shocked suddenly. He saw Zhu Houzhao's earnest endorsement without the slightest pause, and it was clear to his ears, and there was not even a single mistake: "The so-called Xibo is good at caring for the elderly. He controls his fields, teaches them to grow animals, and guides his wives. Let them grow old, they will not be warm without silk at fifty, and they will not grow old without flesh at seventy..."

Now not only Emperor Hongzhi, but even those Hanlin who were on duty in Zhan Shifu's eyes lit up.

Before their eyes, the absurd crown prince disappeared, replaced by a clever and studious child, showing off his knowledge.

Yang Tinghe was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. What shocked him was that he had never taught the prince this article, so where did the prince learn it?

Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, and his heart became more and more shocked. When Zhu Houzhao recited these hundreds of words, Emperor Hongzhi was still in shock. He seemed a little unbelievable, as if Zhu Houzhao had changed in front of him, so he subconsciously said: "What's the meaning of this article?"

Yang Tinghe and the others also cheered up, staring at the crown prince one by one, and being able to recite the article is already a rare thing for His Royal Highness, but if you want to know the mystery of this article, if you are not a diligent and studious person , I'm afraid I can't tell why.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "My son, I'm afraid my words will be bad."

In fact, he had just recited the article "Bo Yi Bi Zhou", and Emperor Hongzhi had countless doubts in his heart. Now that Zhu Houzhao said that he was afraid of speaking badly, he was a little disappointed, and then he couldn't help but comfort him, and he could recite it. , can be regarded as learning, but where did he learn it, his son will take the initiative to read?

But immediately, Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck and said: "The main purpose of this article is nothing more than the problem of food and clothing."

"Food and clothing?" Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback, chewing on Zhu Houzhao's words.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "Yes, "Mencius" took Zhou Wenwang as an example to expound his views on the problem of food and clothing. He believed that only when the basic necessities of life were solved, the common people would have land and houses, and be able to produce food for the sideline business of silkworms. Then, the world will live and work in peace and contentment. This is the so-called peaceful and prosperous age..."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up. This explanation can be said to be quite satisfactory, and it is indeed the intention of Mencius to write this article.

Can't think of... can't think of...

For no reason, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt ecstasy in his heart.

Just as he was furious just now, it is precisely because the prince does not seek to make progress and is ignorant of learning and skills that he has deepened his worries about the future. But now...

Zhu Houzhao said again: "However, if you just say this, I feel that there are still some shortcomings. There are two more things that are really thought-provoking in this article."

He was even thought-provoking.

And there are two places.

Not only did Emperor Hongzhi never think of this, everyone in the Nuan Pavilion was also amazed.

The articles of the saints cannot be interpreted at will. If you are a great Confucian, that's fine, but if you are a child who has not even learned the four books and five classics, if you misinterpret the meaning of the scriptures, wouldn't you be going astray?

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and said: "For example, in this article, the sentence 'There are good old-agers in the world, and benevolent people think it will be home'. The main purpose of this article also highlights the word filial piety. As a son, he should be filial to his parents; as a minister, he should be loyal to the king; among them, Mencius has hidden deep meaning. If the world advocates loyalty and filial piety, then the world will not be far away. But how can we promote it? As for loyalty and filial piety, I secretly think that this is related to the issue of enlightenment, if the father and the officials can set an example, then people all over the world will follow suit, won't this kind of loyalty and filial piety be generalized?"

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was still livid just now, the veins on his forehead were protruding, and his hands were itchy unbearably, but now he heard it, his complexion became more relaxed, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it is the same for a son of man, and for a minister; the same reason , who is a father and a king should also lead by example, you have read this book."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, but he was not happy yet, because he vaguely remembered something, and then said: "What's more, this article not only advocates loyalty and filial piety, but also clearly expresses the principle of the sages governing the world. A ruler governs the world. The essence of the world lies in the people. As the text says, the people can only accept enlightenment when they are fed and clothed. After accepting enlightenment, they understand the truth. Therefore, the essence of everything It also depends on whether the people can eat enough and wear warmth. Therefore, if the ancient sages were dissatisfied by the people, the first thing to do was not to blame the people for their rebellion, but to blame themselves for their faults and issue an imperial edict. I, if everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear, and it is too late for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, how can they be troublesome and troublesome people? Therefore, through this article, I think that governing the world is difficult and easy to say It is also easy. The difficulty lies in the difficulty. The king may not be able to understand the people's sentiments, but the easy is easy. As long as

The emperor can understand the joys and sorrows of the army and the people, and prescribe the right medicine, so why worry that the country cannot be ruled? "

"..."

Minglun Hall was extremely quiet.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

Your Highness the Crown Prince... I am enlightened...

A small article, not only recited it fluently, but also explained the original meaning of the article, but also diverged in thinking. I understood this article from the word loyalty and filial piety, and the next thing was even more terrifying. It was directly extended to the emperor governing the world. The core, expressing these truths in their original form.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly went into a trance, his face flushed suddenly, veins popped out on his forehead, he slammed the copybook, and the pen holder and inkstone on the imperial case flew wildly.

One of the white jade pen holders fell to the ground with a bang.

This frightened Zhu Houzhao's heart, and he quickly shrank his neck. Why, is the explanation wrong?

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha...haha..."

This loud laughter did not have the style of Emperor Hongzhi at all. Emperor Hongzhi looked around, then stared at Zhu Houzhao, and said, "This is my unicorn."

As a father, Emperor Hongzhi is of course extremely proud at this moment. His son is promising and growing up. This excitement is no less than that of ordinary people who have their children on the gold list.

He hurriedly got up and walked in front of Yang Tinghe in a serious manner.

Yang Tinghe was still wondering where the prince learned these things from.

But he saw Emperor Hongzhi bowing deeply to him and saluted him.

Yang Tinghe was stunned.

Where would a ruler salute a subject, he hastily bowed down: "I will die."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't feel that he was too much at all, but said excitedly: "I entrusted the prince to Yang Qing, Yang Qing taught the prince to solve the confusion, and trained the prince to become a talent. Although I am the emperor, I also know how to respect teachers. It makes sense that by doing this ceremony to Yang Qing, I am thanking the Qing family on behalf of the crown prince."

All the people present looked at Yang Tinghe with envy.

Yang Shi said that he has trained the crown prince to such an extent. The crown prince can be so knowledgeable and reasonable. He hadn't seen it before. No wonder His Majesty wanted to salute Yang Shi.

This is a bit embarrassing!

However, Yang Tinghe wanted to die. How could he be so shameless? He couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your Majesty, I... I am guilty of death. I didn't teach the crown prince "Mencius"..."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback, so he frowned and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, this is Fang Jifan's teaching son."

"..."

Just now, not many people paid attention to the little Habayashi Guard Banner Officer.

But as soon as the words came out, countless pairs of fiery eyes fell on the rumored evil young master of the capital.

Fang Jifan has only been working in the Zhan Shifu for a few days. If you calculate it, it will only take half a month. In less than half a month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has never liked reading can memorize "Mencius" by heart, and he can say such a thing Big reason?
