Borrow the day to change the day

On the last day of the sixth year of Chongzhen, everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen's family, worshiped their ancestors and then had a New Year's Eve dinner.

Emperor Chongzhen was greatly influenced by Zhong Jinwei. In front of his family, he did not maintain Zhuang Su's expression, but spent the New Year in harmony and happily.

The imperial court became richer year by year, and the small treasury of the royal family also became richer year by year, which made Queen Zhou very moved.Now I don't need to worry about Emperor Chongzhen's clothes, just change them if they are damaged.

The richness of the New Year's Eve dinner, compared with the previous difficulties during the Chinese New Year, can more intuitively reflect the improvement of living conditions.

In addition, what made Empress Zhou most happy was that the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face and his happy mood were also increasing year by year.

Thinking back to the days when Emperor Chongzhen was walking on thin ice and trembling when he first came to the throne, and later worrying and worrying about the future of the empire, all this really seems like a lifetime away!

Thinking of the previous difficulties, Empress Zhou couldn't help but secretly wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and let out a long sigh in her heart.

Unexpectedly, her action was discovered by Emperor Chongzhen.He put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter, why are you crying?"

Concubine Tian Guifei, Concubine Yuan Guifei and the others, including the prince Zhu Cihong, were startled for a while, not knowing what happened, they looked at Queen Zhou.

Empress Zhou didn't expect to be discovered, she was a little flustered, and quickly replied: "No, it's okay, my concubine is happy!"

But after she finished speaking, she saw that Emperor Chongzhen was still staring at her with an unswerving expression on her face, so she had to confess: "The concubine is thinking of the past, and comparing it with the present, I can't help feeling very emotional!"

Hearing what Queen Zhou said, everyone felt the same, especially Emperor Chongzhen.He let out a long breath, and said to the concubines and princes: "Yes, although I thought about the day when I would get better, I never thought that this day would come so soon so good!"

While speaking, Zhong Jinwei's figure appeared in his mind, recalling Zhong Jinwei's unbelievable appearance.It was because of his appearance that he changed his own destiny and that of Daming.

I have heard such a saying before that when a person meets his noble person in his life, his fate will change.

In the heart of the former Emperor Chongzhen, he never believed that this sentence would have anything to do with him.I am already an emperor, so is there someone more expensive than myself?

But now, Emperor Chongzhen felt that Zhong Jinwei, who came from later generations, was his nobleman.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help saying: "All this is thanks to Master Zhong!"

His words resonated with everyone present, including the maids who served beside him.They have also indirectly enjoyed the benefits brought about by Ming's becoming stronger in the past few years.

At this time, in such an atmosphere of nostalgia and emotion, everyone stopped eating and drinking, silently recalling the changes in the past few years.

After a while, it was Queen Zhou who broke the silent atmosphere.She glanced at her eldest son first, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after the new year, the prince will already be five years old, and the concubine is thinking about whether he can be taught by a virtuous scholar in the court?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt a little strange, and couldn't help saying: "Didn't I ask Master Sun to teach the prince?"

"Your Majesty, there is another person in the court. His talent is unmatched by anyone. It would be better for him to teach the prince." Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand what she meant, Empress Zhou had no choice but to elaborate further.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, the empress is talking about Master Zhong! He is a bit strange, he can't recite a bit of classics and history, even if he writes, his handwriting is bad."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and said: "What the empress said is not unreasonable. Although he doesn't understand these things, he does have talent, and this talent is unique to me in Ming Dynasty."

He glanced at the prince, then turned back, and said to Empress Zhou: "Master Zhong has taught me a lot of truths in his speech and behavior. If he teaches the prince, it may be very effective. I will ask him in the next year." , if possible, let him spare time to teach the prince."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine!" Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou hurriedly stood up to express her thanks.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he stretched out his hand and waved it to stop Queen Zhou from moving.He said with a smile: "The crown prince is also my son, so why should the empress be so polite?"

Who said that the royal family has no kinship, as long as it does not hinder the foundation of the empire and does not seek power, the emperor is also a human being, and he will have feelings for his wife and children.

Especially in the current Daming, the emperor's son has already decided on a way out, and all the princes except the crown prince will be feudalized overseas, which will not affect the succession of the throne in the local Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere of the royal family is even more harmonious.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei for the first time after the year, he made this request to Zhong Jinwei and said: "Master Zhong, I want you to teach the prince in normal times, how about it?"

The reason why he said that is also not sure.Therefore, the example of Zhong Jinwei is too strange. It is fine to say that he is knowledgeable, but it is also fine to say that he is not learned.Let Zhong Jinwei teach the prince, what kind of situation will happen, it is really hard to grasp.

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then thought for a while, but it was a bit beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectation. He immediately agreed and said: "I obey the order, but I have a request."

"Oh, what is Master Zhong's request, just tell me." Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised to hear Zhong Jinwei's conditional agreement, and he wanted to hear what Zhong Jinwei had.

Zhong Jinwei seemed a little unnatural, but immediately returned to normal, and said calmly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty knows the literary level of my minister. Therefore, I will not teach you about the collection of classics and history, the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, etc. Just tell stories and teach some management knowledge. Is that good?"

Even if Zhong Jinwei wanted to teach those things, Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to let him teach them, that would be a mistake.

But he really admires Zhong Jinwei's other abilities.Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said now, he wanted to hear it.So he immediately agreed: "Okay, I agree."

With such determination, Zhong Jinwei quickly took up his post and became the prince's teacher again.

When he was in the first class, Emperor Chongzhen quietly went to listen in.Unexpectedly, after hearing it, he was also fascinated.So much so that in Zhong Jinwei's follow-up lectures, there was a situation where the emperor and the prince attended the lectures together.

The teaching method used by Zhong Jinwei is actually an imitation of the teaching method that the teachers of the politics class can teach the boring courses so that no one misses the class when they are in college.

This relaxed and pleasant way of telling stories, coupled with Zhong Jinwei’s sufficient experience in Daming, and his knowledge of hundreds of years, it is not surprising that Emperor Chongzhen and his son were fascinated by it.
