Book of the Saint...

Liu Jian was stunned.

In the Book of Saints... did this be taught?

Zhu Houzhao explained: "The Master said: A gentleman is quick to speak and act."

"This..." Liu Jian was a little confused.

Zhu Houzhao began to show off his knowledge in night classes: "To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than saying less and doing more, it is so simple. Nothing in the world is easy. If you want to do it well, what's the use of relying on boasting and not practicing it? Instead of doing it, why not do it more?"

"What you fear most in the world is people with a heart. Just as Mr. Wang said, if you have a heart, this heart is empathy, empathy, and experience the sufferings of the people. At this time, you still need to know, what is knowledge? Isn't knowledge the way of a saint? I have read the Analects of Confucius, and the art of equanimity in the Analects of Confucius is already in my heart, and I have empathy and conscience, and do things with my heart."

"..." Liu Jian could not imagine that the Analects of Confucius could explain this way.

However, he could not refute.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "It's easy to say, but it's actually quite difficult to do. I have eaten and slept with the refugees for the past two months. I took people to cultivate the land when I woke up early in the morning. Sometimes I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back. But the more I did this, the more I could understand the hardships of the refugees. The more I was like this, the more I gritted my teeth and persevered. The refugees gradually stopped treating me as the prince. They found that I was the same as them, and they actually laughed and felt sad. Even my skills in arriving land were not as good as theirs!"

Emperor Hongzhi listened very seriously.

There was also silence in the warm trunk.

At this time, many people couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts.

To be honest, there are probably not many people in the world who can do this. However, in this world, there are very few people who say they love the people like a crucian carp across the river, and there are only a few who dare to truly love the people.

Zhu Houzhao continued, "You must think that the refugees knew that the palace was not even as good as their farmland, and they would lose awe of this palace. But you were wrong. The refugees lost awe, but they became more close. The palace learned farming from them and finally understood more that the Analects of Confucius. It is a truth to have my master when I walk through the three. In this process, I taught others something and learned a lot from others. The things I learned were things that I could not learn from my father, Master Liu, and from all the masters."

"These things are combined with the way of the saints, so that the palace knows what to do when encountering problems. How can the father orders the palace to do well? In this memorial, many arrangements for refugees are actually the same. The saints advocate filial piety, so the palace follows the flow and allows those with parents to temporarily not have to go out to reconcile and make the elderly have a support."

"I can now know how to needle and thread, wash, cook, and farm. Do you think it's useless to learn these? It's of course no use to learn these simply, but if you have read books and learned the ways of saints, then learn these things, it's useful. Those who study hard often say that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, but these nerds don't even know how to cook small food. Somehow, they need to slow fire to cook small food. Even if they can memorize the books, do they really know the original intention of the saint?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I am Fang Jifan's teacher, Fang Jifan is also my teacher. I am the teacher of the refugees. The refugees have also taught a lot of knowledge of this palace. What they teach is even more than what the masters teach in the Zhanshi Mansion."

“…”

Fortunately, Yang Tinghe was not here, otherwise he would have to be angry to death.

Liu Jian and others were speechless. They looked down at the memorials in the line. At this moment, they were all filled with emotion.

Xie Qian couldn't help but say, "These knowledge is only afraid that there are more fallacies."

He still could not accept these knowledge. As a child of the traditional Confucian Confucian scholars in Jiangnan, Xie Qian still couldn't accept it.

However, Liu Jian was silent for a moment, stood up obediently, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Although the old minister dare not agree with what his highness said, the old minister only relied on his memorial, I admire him!"

Li Dongyang also stood up and said, "I admire you too."

Xie Qian just woke up and said so much that he was not here to study and learn. Just based on his attitude towards doing things, Master Zhu was afraid that he would not be able to do better in relocating refugees!

He suddenly became solemn, then stood up and said, "It is a blessing for the country to have this insight."

The three cabinet ministers are no longer willing to underestimate Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi listened carefully to Zhu Houzhao's words. In fact, Zhu Houzhao was not an excellent scholar and his speech was not clear. However, a witness, a person who really entered the refugee, had an incomparable appeal when speaking these words.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "What is a wise man in this world? The talent of the court may not be judged by knowledge. But if all the officials in the world are like the prince and Fang Jifan, even if there are no sweet potatoes and potatoes and no voyage to the West, the world will not be too far away."

In his words, there is a bit of the intention of burying all officials.

Liu Jian and others silently did not dare to speak, and said one after another: "The prince is wise, this is a blessing for the country."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said with great spirit: "My son should be wise. Of course, Fang Jifan also made an important contribution. This job is done well. From today on, all the memorials submitted will not only be sent to the palace, but also to the East Palace."

Liu Jian and others were shocked.

Even Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were shocked.

All the memorials are sent to the East Palace?

Isn’t this clear, has the prince gradually become familiar with political affairs?

In other words, since then, the prince began to have the power to propose state affairs. Although he did not allow the prince to supervise the country, he also began to admit that the prince had grown up and gave the prince room to be familiar with government affairs.

Being recognized is a sense of accomplishment, especially Zhu Houzhao, who has been doing anything in front of the emperor and ministers, is classified as nonsense. At this time, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you, my son, thank you for your father."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, looked at Fang Jifan again, and said, "The Fang Qing family is very capable. I think the Fang Qing family has been with the prince in Xishan these days, so they have suffered a lot."

Fang Jifan quickly shook his head. He was an honest man and said, "Your Majesty, I have not suffered much."

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "I'll eat it, what's the point of being humble?"

Fang Jifan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I have suffered a lot."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "You are the young minister, that is, half of the prince's mentor. Good students teach the prince. Xishan Academy is very interesting. I have also learned a lot of skills from it. Good students teach your disciples."

"Prince, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time. You should go to see your mother first. I am here, and I need to discuss with my family about voyage to the West."

Zhu Houzhao responded happily and ran to Kunning Palace.

In the bedroom of Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang seemed to be in the inner room, while Princess Taikang Zhu Xiurong was sitting on a brocade pier in the outside room, carefully doing needles and threads.

Zhu Houzhao came in secretly, stood behind Zhu Xiurong, watching the girl's eyelashes tremble, and looked very serious. But when she saw the girl's needlework, she couldn't help saying, "Girl, you can easily get rid of thread in your embroidery method. I will teach you that you should get a needle here so that it will be strong..."

Zhu Xiurong raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Houzhao who had come out at some point. She was actually used to it, so she was not surprised. But when she saw Zhu Houzhao coming alone, a trace of disappointment could not help but pass through the depths of her eyes. She ignored her and continued to thread the needle on her own.

Zhu Houzhao was anxious: "You are sewing with a flat needle, which is the most useless; do you understand the sewing method of buttonholes? Come on, I will teach you..."

He bent down and wanted to grab the needle.

Zhu Xiurong said angrily: "You...get away!"

"Oh." Under the glare of my sister, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to silence, so she had to go to the other side obediently.

When Queen Zhang heard something outside, she came out of the inner room in surprise and looked at her son who hadn't seen for a long time with a kind smile!

Then, she waved to Zhu Houzhao and said, "What are you doing to provoke your girl again? Your girl is in bad health. Why didn't Fang Qing's family come with you? Your girl has always felt uncomfortable these days, so she should let him come and have a look."

Zhu Houzhao said obediently: "He is still discussing matters. My son comes first, my mother and I have worked so hard in the West these days, but my mother doesn't care."

When Queen Zhang saw that he was dark and thin, but she seemed more energetic, she couldn't help but say, "What hardship did you suffer in Xishan?"

"It's so much." Zhu Houzhao came to Queen Zhang and sat down and said, "Reclaim, wash, cook, um... and... and raise pigs..."

"Raising pigs?"

Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong, who was doing needlework, both raised their eyes and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

Obviously, they felt that Zhu Houzhao's words were not credible.

"I really raise pigs, Lao Fang... Fang Jifan said that if everyone eats meat, it is to benefit the world." Zhu Houzhao explained.

………

Fang Jifan repeatedly stated in front of the emperor and several ministers that his disciple Xu Jing was a very reliable person. He praised Xu Jing for his noble morality, loyalty, courage and meticulousness, and then said goodbye from the warm cabinet!

He could clearly see that the resentful little eyes of the Minister of War Ma Wensheng kept looking at him, which made Fang Jifan have an illusion that he was a woman who had just fallen in love, looking at his lover.

Fang Jifan knew that he was up and down, but in fact, Fang Jifan himself was up and down. God knew if Xu Jing would make any mistakes.

But soon, a eunuch led Fang Jifan into the inner palace, and it was time to treat His Highness the Princess...
