The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 33 Zhu Gaochi's Careful Thoughts

Nanjing, King Yan's Mansion.

"Eldest Prince, when did you start studying art of war?"

After Zhu Ying arrived at Prince Yan's mansion, she found Zhu Gaochi who was studying in the yard, and asked with a smile.

"Isn't there no way to do this? Grandpa Huang asked our eldest sons to inspect the defense in a few days."

"I don't know much about military affairs. This is just cramming. I don't know if it will work or not."

Zhu Gaochi put down the book of war and said helplessly.

Because of his obesity and lack of physical strength, he seldom stayed in the barracks.

It was also for this reason that Zhu Di didn't like the eldest son very much.

Since coming to the capital, basically just ignore it.

"This is for you to check the defense, not to lead troops to fight. What's the use of reading military books?"

Zhu Ying said helplessly, the Buddha's feet were hugged wrong.

"Brother Ying, please teach me." Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted immediately.

In just a few sentences, straight to the essence, Zhu Gaochi immediately understood that Zhu Ying must be proficient in this.

There is no need for Zhu Ying to hide such things, and said directly:
"The matter of defense is actually just one point, military discipline."

"Of course, this statement is simple, but it is still difficult to strictly implement it."

"However, I think that His Majesty asked you to check the defense, probably not for the sake of military discipline."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yingcai continued, "I think you can start from several places."

"For example, the food and living standards of the soldiers, their loyalty to Daming, and their seriousness during inspections."

"Come out of these points, then write a memorial, add your own opinions and opinions, and finally put forward suggestions for improvement."

"In this way, you must be able to pass your majesty's examination."

Zhu Ying said while thinking.

However, what he didn't realize was that Zhu Gaochi's eyes were glistening.

Zhu Ying's answer, in his own opinion, was very simple, like homework for future generations.

As a three-good student who has passed the nine-year compulsory education of later generations, I have long been familiar with such things.

But what he didn't expect was that this was Daming.

What kind of books did the literati of Ming Dynasty read?Basically, it is based on the Four Books and Five Classics.

This is not an annotated version. The entire text of classical Chinese, not to mention the study of its knowledge, can be read fluently, and it can be regarded as a scholar.

Reading in the Ming Dynasty, the enlightenment is the Three Character Classic, a hundred surnames and so on.

Then go directly to the Four Books and Five Classics, which is equivalent to going directly from elementary school to university in later generations. This can be described as a big wave.

How many students fell down right here.

And what Zhu Ying said, such a routine template that is common in later generations, has a completely different impact on Zhu Gaochi.

Great Confucianism, famous Confucianism may not care too much.

But for Zhu Gaochi, a teenage boy, it is nothing but the finishing touch.

"Brother Ying, thank you so much, I was still confused at first, but what you said like this is like enlightenment."

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he quickly got up and bowed to Zhu Ying to thank him.

"The eldest prince is polite, this matter is nothing more than a trivial matter." Zhu Ying supported Zhu Gaochi and said.

Zhu Gaochi said with a wry smile: "For Brother Ying, it's just a few words, but for me, it matters a lot."

Zhu Ying was silent when she heard the words.

Of course, he is also clear about Zhu Gaochi's situation in the palace.

As the eldest son of the king, he does not have the treatment of the eldest son of the king at all. In many cases, Zhu Di does not take him with him.

Coming to the capital this time is an opportunity for Zhu Gaochi.

The prince of Daming was not appointed by the prince himself, but was canonized by the emperor.

In Daming, which pays attention to the eldest son inheritance system, unless Zhu Gaochi's virtue is at fault, Zhu Di has nothing to do.

Therefore, the current Zhu Gaochi is eager to get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval.

"Your body, I think you still need to strengthen your exercise. This is too much burden on yourself."

Zhu Ying said comfortingly.

He knew that in the future, after Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, Zhu Gaochi would eventually become emperor.

Although there are some twists and turns, but after all, there is no danger.

Zhu Gaochi in history lived to die of illness at the age of 48.

As a current friend, even though he may become an enemy in the future, Zhu Ying still does not want Zhu Gaochi to die too early.

It is rare to have a confidant in life, although they all have their own little thoughts.

But there is no doubt that in many areas of interest, the two can be regarded as like-minded.

"I think so too, but every time I can't hold on, I feel like the whole person is falling apart."

Zhu Gaochi said with a wry smile that his obesity is more like a congenital disease.

However, an imperial doctor had checked it long ago, and it was not a disease, it was said that it was a disorder of the five qi, and an imbalance of yin and yang.

Zhu Ying doesn't know much about obesity, after all, he was not a doctor in his previous life.

But he can understand this, probably because of endocrine disorders.

"If you believe me, you can exercise with me during this period of time, and you should also adjust your diet. Perhaps after a period of time, you can see some results."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Ying said to Zhu Gaochi.

In fact, it is relatively simple. Get up and run in the morning, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less meat, and reduce fat intake.

That's about it.

Zhu Gaochi was a little moved when he heard the words. He admired Zhu Ying very much. He may not know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is extremely proficient in various miscellaneous studies.

Just thinking of his father's explanation in his heart, after a moment of hesitation, Zhu Gaochi finally rejected Zhu Ying's proposal on the grounds that he was lazy.

Facing Zhu Gaochi's refusal, Zhu Ying looked calm, and he already saw that there must be something hidden in it.

Zhu Gaochi's excuse is of course untenable. The seemingly obese Zhu Gaochi is actually very persistent and has strong perseverance, whether it is reading or other aspects.

It's just that there may be some other fears.

Zhu Gaochi was also secretly relieved to see that Zhu Ying didn't pursue the question.

He couldn't say that it was his father who asked him to minimize his contact with Zhu Ying recently.

As a son of man, Zhu Gaochi had some vague guesses about what his father thought about Zhu Ying, but he didn't dare to think deeply.

After all, to a certain extent, he can also be regarded as a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself.

"What's going on with the matter at the Military Bureau?"

After a while of pleasantries, Zhu Ying felt that the time was almost up, so she asked.

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "I talked about this with my father earlier, but my father rejected it. Just let me study hard, don't worry about these things."

After hesitating for a while, he said again: "If the school examination can be appreciated by the emperor, maybe I can go in and have a look."

Zhu Ying was speechless, this kid had a lot of thoughts, and it was clear that he wanted to help him.

"I don't know if the eldest prince can let me accompany him to inspect the defense." Zhu Ying asked.

"Of course it's okay, but I'll have to wrong Brother Ying a bit." Zhu Gaochi was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

"Okay, when the day passes, the eldest prince will just let me know."

"Brother Ying, thank you very much this time."

It was at this time when Zhu Ying and Zhu Gaochi were talking.

Liu Rixin finally entered the palace.

In the canopy hall,

Liu Rixin knelt down and said: "Liu Rixin, a grassroots man, pay homage to the Holy One."
