Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 507
Others were not afraid of the emperor, but this concubine was a little nervous facing the emperor.Seeing the emperor looking over with doubts on his face, Concubine Cheng quickly explained:
"The prince's daily homework arrangement is determined by Mr. Liu, and the concubines are illiterate, so they just act according to Mr. Liu's arrangement, and they don't dare to be good at it."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, letting an ordinary concubine look after the crown prince is actually quite difficult.

When Zhu Qiyu looked at Liu Dingzhi again, he saw the Tanhua Lang took out a booklet and handed it over with both hands: "My Majesty, this is the homework arrangement that I have drawn up for the Crown Prince. Please read it over."

Ning Xiang stepped forward to pick it up, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help being curious when he got the booklet, what kind of homework arrangement is worth writing a booklet, could it be that some parents in later generations have some kind of "study plan" for Lao Shizi.

It is the kind of "study plan" that parents can't do it themselves, but force their children to strictly implement it.

With curiosity in mind, Zhu Qiyu opened the booklet and read it carefully.

Ningxiang snuggled into Zhu Qiyu's arms and watched it together. Zhu Qiyu had seen those parents in later generations and was relatively resistant. Ningxiang had already started to take a breath when he saw half of it.

Ningxiang asked in a worried voice: "Husband, will our son study like this in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu leaned close to Ningxiang's ear and replied with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Are you kidding? How is it possible? Our son is our own. Why would you dare to harm our son like this? I strangled him on the spot up.

But it doesn't matter what Liu Dingzhi does. The prince has his biological parents, so it's not for us to dictate. "

It's no wonder that Ningxiang was so frightened, Liu Dingzhi made a study plan for this year, next year, and the year after that in one breath.The Analects of Confucius has already been taught this year, and in the next two years, not only will the Four Books and Five Classics be roughly read, but also the Zizhi Tongjian will be published.

There is no need to ask about the homework after three years. Zhu Qiyu can guess it himself, so it must be time to teach Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Moreover, this is still the general direction. On this basis, Liu Dingzhi made further refinements:

Every day at dawn, the prince would spend an hour reading and writing after getting up and having breakfast.Then Liu Dingzhi lectured for an hour.

After lunch, I took a short rest, and then read and lectured again.

That's not counting, after dinner, I still have to tell a historical story for an hour.Then Liu Dingzhi left Ciqing Palace to go home, and the prince needed another half an hour to review the homework for the day.

After reviewing homework, I can finally go to bed.

When I woke up the next day, I was studying again and again.

And the cold and heat are not avoided, according to Liu Dingzhi's plan, even if it is windy and rainy, he still has to study.Even during the holidays, you can take a break, but it still takes half a day to review your homework.

It's no wonder that Zhu Qiyu and his concubine were stunned.

Holding the pamphlet, Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers, stuck for a long time and couldn't speak.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to sigh, and asked Liu Dingzhi: "Liu Aiqing, have you submitted this homework arrangement to Emperor Gongrang and the Empress for review?"

Liu Dingzhi bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have met Emperor Gongrang and reported the homework arrangement to Emperor Gongrang face to face.

Gong made the emperor and empress very satisfied, and ordered his ministers to carry out the homework arrangement without changing a single word. "

Hearing Liu Dingzhi's answer, Zhu Qiyu was speechless.I have issued a clear edict, and all officials can see the emperor Gongrang at any time.

Although few of the officials took this seriously, most of them did not dare to go to Chonghua Palace to show off.But Liu Dingzhi is such a loyal minister, even if he is so real, it is not easy to insist on him in person.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to praise with a smile on his face: "Liu Aiqing is so devoted to his duties, and he is truly an example for all officials. The prince is the foundation of the country, so how to educate him, you should ask Emperor Gongrang for instructions, get the approval of your eldest brother, and then implement it."

How about this, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you will take the prince to Chonghua Palace, report the progress of homework to Emperor Gongrang, and accept the instructions of Emperor Gongrang. "

Liu Dingzhi quickly received the decree, and the ministers also shouted for the emperor's sage.

Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to delay the prince's homework at night, so he asked the prince to care a few words, then got up and left.

When we returned to Wudinghou Mansion, it was already dark.After bathing together, back in Lin Xiangyu's boudoir, Ning Xianglai acted like a baby in Zhu Qiyu's arms, but Lin Xiangyu was rushed to make the bed.

While laying out the pink bed sheet and arranging the three pillows side by side, Lin Xiangyu teased, "My empress, your old man is becoming more and more callous.

No matter what I say, I am also a princess, and now I am almost becoming your personal maid. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "To be honest, there is nothing good about being a queen. Husband, if you lick my slave's house, the water in the capital is bitter. After taking a bath, my body is bitter and astringent.

Even when they reached the status of Queen Qian and Queen Zhou, they still had to bathe in these bitter waters.

Pity them for being a broken queen, and they are still beautiful there.

It's because my husband has a good eye and knows that Yuquan Mountain is the most livable place in Gyeonggi.It is much cooler in summer than in the city, and there are hot springs in winter. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Take it for another two days, tomorrow I will hold a grand court meeting, in front of all the officials, and deal with the people of Sanyang. Then I will publicly establish the national policy of recovering Annan and restarting Western trade.

Then go to inspect the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and see how they mint silver.

Let's go home the day after tomorrow and drop by to inspect the construction progress of Beijing's outer city.

When I get back to our palace, I won't come out in a while. "

Only then did Ningxiang nodded in satisfaction, and Lin Xiangyu also smiled and said: "After seeing Jianshen's homework arrangement today, Liu Dingzhi is really cruel, but he is only a five-year-old child, why should he work so hard?
And Emperor Gong Rang was really cruel to his son. "

Zhu Qiyu replied: "I can understand them, they are racing against time, they want to train the prince to be a wise king who meets the ideals of all officials before I abolish the prince.

In this way, they can have more capital and confidence in the battle to abolish Prince Yi. "

Lin Xiangyu sighed: "They still don't give up. Wouldn't it be good to let Jianshen become a rich and idle king? Why must the next generation be involved in this life-and-death political struggle."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "There's no way, let them do. I don't want to abolish the prince now, I'd better wait until I see you enough, please abdicate yourself.

Thinking about it the other way around, it's a good thing to respectfully let the emperor and Liu Dingzhi toss about like this. In another ten or eight years, when I see that I have reached the age of rebellion, I will be rebellious and don't want to do it. "

Regarding the abolition of the prince, because Zhu Qiyu has historical experience, he can make a choice that is more beneficial to him.

It's easy to abolish the prince himself.Historically, Jingtai has been able to complete easily and freely, almost without any resistance.

Because the father owns the world, and passing it on to the son actually makes sense from a legal point of view.Forcing an emperor to pass the throne to his nephew is inhumane in itself.

In addition, Zhu Jianshen was canonized as the prince by the edict of the Sun family, and he was not supported by the ministers.

If there is no change in Tumubao, the ministers will definitely continue to wait for Zhu Qizhen's son. Before it is confirmed that Zhu Qizhen will not have a son, the ministers will not easily recognize Zhu Jianshen.

This is also the reason why Zhu Jianshen could be easily abolished in history.

After a little comparison, Zhu Qiyu can know that his current situation is much better than that of Jingtai in history, and now it is only a matter of a word to abolish the prince.

However, it is easy to abolish a prince, but difficult to accept people.If the prince is really abolished, he will give his political opponents a legitimate reason to attack him.

This is the case with Jingtai in history. Before the prince was abolished, all officials dared not openly hate the emperor;

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu decided not to worry about these troubles.He ordered the two concubines to lie side by side on the bed, and Zhu Qiyu undressed the concubines with his own hands.

Ningxiang did not forget to tell her: "Husband, when the slave family gives birth to a son, be sure not to mistreat him like the prince. I only want to learn from Su Dongpo. I hope that the son will be stupid and rude, and that he will be free from illness and disaster."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't just talk about hurting you. Several vassal kings were uprooted during the mutiny, and I kept all the good thrones that were vacated.

From now on, your son will be named King of Chu, Xue'er's son will be named King of Wu, and Xi'er's son will be named King of Jin.

How about it, I feel sorry for my son enough.They are all first-class titles, and all of them are [-] times better than my King Tan back then. "

Ning Xiang asked curiously: "Can the King of Wu also be sealed?"
