The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1411

[1411.Chapter 1340 The one who brought us great Ming Dynasty is the prince]

called…

Turning to the seventh page…

Emperor Hongzhi actually saw himself.

Well… it’s a portrait, wearing a crown and a crown, sitting on it, full of power.

I actually still have myself…

should I be happy or worried?

This traitor is so bold. Isn’t he riding on my head?

Master of Heaven and Earth, you occupy the first six pages, but here I am…

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glared at Zhu Houzhao fiercely.

This is so ridiculous. This is a book. It is meant to be taught to children. If others read it, then… wouldn’t this mean that the relationship between father and son, king and minister, is in chaos?

Zhu Houzhao blinked.

It was as if he felt his father’s anger.

However, he is the old god who is here: “Father, I know what my father means. My father must want to ask… that, that… why is the portrait of the father at the back? Hey… hey… Father Emperor, pay attention and look down.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked down with half-squinted eyes.

But under the portrait, there was a bold line written: “The first page…”

“…”

Then he turned back to the real first page of Zhu Houzhao’s horseback riding photo, and under that, it said ‘Second page’. Page’.

This is almost like covering one’s ears and stealing the bell, insulting people’s IQ.

Emperor Hongzhi still couldn’t help but said: “

This is really unreasonable.” Zhu Houzhao hurriedly explained: “Father, it’s not my fault. When I first typed the layout, my father should have been at the front, but those damn printers , I made a mistake, and I thought, this seal has already been printed, so I can’t waste my money and re-print it? Otherwise, if my father is really angry, then simply send hundreds of people to and from the printing workshop. Catch them all and chop off their heads to make amends to the father.”

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to speak.

Finally, his throat rolled and he couldn’t bear it!

He just said lightly: “The next edition of the textbook will be sent to the palace first, and I will approve it before printing.”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled and said in his heart, there is no next edition, this Use this version for the rest of my life. With a smile on his face, he said respectfully: “My son, I obey.”

Emperor Hongzhi continued to look down, and on the eighth page, he saw Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan was wearing a square scarf and a Confucian shirt, elegant. The appearance is vivid on the paper.

Master of Heaven and Earth, Fang Jifan founded Xishan Academy. He is the founder of countless scholars today. He can be said to be the world’s richest scholar. There is a portrait of him here, but it can be said that he was in the past.

Looking back further, the first article is about the surnames of hundreds of families, followed by the Thousand-Character Classic, and after that, the Three-Character Classic, followed closely by poems, Li Bai, Du Mu, etc…

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it carefully, but He found that there was an indescribable feeling in this textbook. What was it? He tried hard to recall it.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized.

This textbook seems simple, but it is easy first and then more difficult. From the first hundred surnames to simpler poems, and then it becomes more and more profound. It is easy first and then difficult. I think it allows students to slowly understand Digestion is very simple on the surface, but in fact every article and poem in it has been carefully considered.

Although Zhu Houzhao’s little move just now made him dumbfounded.

But after reading the textbook, Emperor Hongzhi’s heart was turned upside down.

The things the prince wants to do are unprecedented.

After pondering for a long time, countless thoughts passed through Emperor Hongzhi’s mind.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly nodded: “The prince is the one who inspired our Ming Dynasty.”

He left these words and said nothing more.

He stood up silently and glanced at Mou Bin.

Mou Bin understood and said hurriedly: “Your Majesty is driving back to the palace.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan hurriedly sent Emperor Hongzhi off to show off.

After Emperor Hongzhi got in the car and drove away, Zhu Houzhao said flatteringly to Fang Jifan: “How about it, I just said, my father also likes such illustrations, haha, this guy Tang Yin is still very good. , the painting of this palace is so lifelike, no wonder my father, the prince, was so impressed when he saw it. Oh, thinking about it, I feel that these words should be printed in the next edition of the text. From now on, I will no longer be called the Prince, but the Prince of Zhongxing. I will carve a seal tomorrow. This is what my father said.”

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a speechless expression. He had always suspected that Zhu Houzhao was a thief. He is mentally retarded and his symptoms are not mild.

Fang Jifan said seriously: “Okay, Your Highness, let’s do serious things. Are you hungry?”

“Yes.” Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and looked hungry.

Very good, indeed we still have a common language.

Fang Jifan felt very happy.

His majesty’s praise for the prince has spread like wildfire.

The person who brings about the great Ming Dynasty is a prince.

This short sentence seems light, but it is extremely heavy.

Obviously, this is the approval of His Majesty Shuntian Mansion.

Although Shuntian Prefecture broke the rule that officials did not establish government offices, and although it opened public schools, it taught new knowledge, which always made a group of old antiques angry.

But, so what.

There is no choice but to let the flowers fall. They have the support of the palace, but they are also very fierce. They want money and people, and the people’s hearts are there. This mighty trend cannot be stopped by a few sour scholars.

At this time, Ouyang Zhi, the governor of Baoding, handed over his responsibilities according to the order, and then entered Beijing.

It was already evening when we arrived in the capital, and it was impossible to meet the saint that day. Ouyang Zhi came to see Fang Jifan first.

The two masters and apprentices have not seen each other for a long time.

When Ouyang Zhi met Fang Jifan, he bowed his head, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with sobs: “The student has met his teacher.”

Ouyang Zhi is a conscientious person.

He cherishes his mentor more than anyone else. ‘

Without a mentor, I was just a little scholar, but now I am a high official in the border areas. I am what I am today after receiving the teachings from my mentor. Thinking of what I did in the Chief Envoy of Baoding, no matter how many achievements I made, it would be nothing. He has been questioned for a long time. If his mentor hadn’t sheltered him from the wind and rain in Beijing, and shielded him from the open and secret arrows, how would he have been able to take drastic measures in Baoding.

Ouyang Zhi shed tears on his clothes.

My mentor… he looks younger and younger.

On the contrary, I… have become a bit old.

After all, he is nearly forty years old.

Fang Jifan sat on the chair and nodded to him: “Well, not bad, not bad, you are back and you still remember being a teacher, which is very good.”

These words made Ouyang Zhi quite frightened.

What does it mean to still remember being a teacher? Could it be that my mentor blamed me for being disrespectful? He did not dare to raise his eyes to Ka Fang’s successor, but said with sincerity and fear: “There is not a day when the disciple does not remember the teachings of his teacher in Baoding, and there is not a day when he does not miss his teacher. In the past few years, the disciple has been busy with official duties and working hard in He neglected his duty to serve his teacher, and the disciple deserves to die.” Fang

Jifan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, how could he be afraid of becoming like this? Am I, a teacher, so terrible?

When he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was not a vicious person!

Sigh…

I couldn’t figure out why Ouyang Zhi was so afraid of him, but it didn’t matter. It was good for his apprentice to be in awe of him, so he waved to Ouyang Zhi.

“Get up, don’t be like this, sit down, come and have a sip of tea.”

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, then stood up and sat down.

Fang Jifan said: “His Majesty ordered you to return to Beijing this time. I think he had other arrangements, but… I am thinking, next, is there a candidate for the new governor who will replace you in promoting the new policy in Baoding? This is the chief envoy of Baoding. “Si, it’s very important. Your Majesty will definitely ask for your suggestions when he arrives. Do you have anyone in mind?”

Ouyang Zhi was silent.

Fang Jifan felt that communicating with him would make him angry, so he pulled a long face and waited for him to react.

Ouyang Zhicai said: “Teacher, the disciple has already been selected. The candidate selected this time is none other than Yang Yiqing.”

Fang Jifan was frightened. Damn it, Yang Yiqing, isn’t this the one who has a grudge against him?

He was the governor of Shanxi at first, and then joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In order to fight against the new learning, he even did not hesitate to become the magistrate of Tongzhou. But who would have expected that in the end, he made a mess. Emperor Hongzhi was furious and demoted him to a minor in Tongzhou. Official.

This guy… can actually turn around?

What did he think of me, Fang Jifan? He really thought I was a great person from Fang.

Seeing that his teacher’s face was even more ugly, Ouyang Zhi said patiently: “Yang Yiqing has been very responsible in his work since he became a minor official in Tongzhou. He learned quickly and made rapid progress. He first worked as a clerk in a county under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou, and then he was promoted several times. His understanding of industry and commerce is no longer inferior to others, and he is a person with unique talents. As a student in Baoding, sometimes he is overwhelmed. Although there are many capable talents around him, the one who has the strongest view of the overall situation is It was him. After that, he took over the posts of county magistrate, general magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, etc., and he has been doing an excellent job. The Chief Envoy of Baoding built a new district more than a year ago, aiming to connect with the capital. Before, it was just a barren land, but he came to preside over this new area, and his political achievements were first-rate in the state capital and counties under the jurisdiction of the Baoding Chief Envoy.”

Ouyang Zhi was silent again, and then said. : “Not only that, he also made great achievements in the new learning. He asked his students for advice many times on the New Deal and the new learning. At the beginning, the students also guided him. Later, he was able to draw inferences from one example and explain the students’ doubts. . This man is a great talent, and he has now changed his mind. He has outstanding political achievements and an excellent official reputation, so the students think that he is the most suitable candidate at the moment.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Yang Yiqing is indeed a man of real ability.

He was originally a person who had served as a feudal official and had also managed horse administration. The fundamental reason why he was convicted in the first place was that he had the limitations of his era.

And once such a person realizes that his previous path is dead, he begins to truly let go of his superior attitude, and leans down to learn new things and new policies. The potential he has exploded, combined with his previous life experience, To a certain extent, it is definitely not comparable to those mediocre people.

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Human essence is human essence.
