    In fact, after Hongzhi listened carefully, he realized that what Zhu Houzhao was reciting was the chapter "Mencius Boyi Establishes Zhou". Zhu Houzhao was usually playful, and what he had learned was just a superficial book of rites. As for Mencius in the Four Books, according to Hongzhi  As far as the emperor knew, he had not even begun to study.  This is because many articles in "Mencius" have collected a lot about the art of emperors. In the view of the scholars, it is better to start teaching from the easier "Book of Rites" and "The Analects of Confucius". With the "Book of Rites"  " and the Analects of Confucius, it will be much easier to learn "Mencius".

    In the past, Zhu Houzhao had not even figured out the Chunguan and Xia Bo in the "Book of Rites", but now, he has memorized "Bo Yi Pi Zhou" by heart.

    Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly shocked. He saw Zhu Houzhao seriously endorsing the words without any pause, and it was so clear that there was no mistake or omission: "The so-called Xibo who is good at caring for the elderly controls his fields, teaches trees and animals, and guides his wives."  To support him in his old age, if he is fifty years old, he will not be warm without silk, and at seventy years old, he will not grow old without meat"

    Now, not only Emperor Hongzhi, but also the Hanlin officials who were on duty in Zhanshi Mansion, their eyes were shining brightly.

    In front of them, the ridiculous crown prince disappeared, replaced by a smart and studious child, showing off his knowledge.

    Yang Tinghe was so shocked that his jaw dropped. What shocked him was that he had never taught the prince this article before. So where did the prince learn it?

    Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, feeling more and more shocked. When Zhu Houzhao recited these hundreds of words, Emperor Hongzhi was still in shock. He looked a little unbelievable, as if the Zhu Houzhao in front of him was a different person, so he subconsciously said:  ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this article?¡±

    Yang Tinghe and others also cheered up and stared at the Crown Prince one by one. Being able to recite the article is already rare for His Highness the Crown Prince. However, if you want to know the secrets of this article, you must not be a diligent and studious person.  , I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t explain why.

    Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid I won't say it well."

    In fact, he had just recited the article "Bo Yi Pi Zhou", and countless doubts had arisen in Emperor Hongzhi's mind. Now when he heard that Zhu Houzhao said that he was afraid that he might not say it well, he was a little disappointed, and then he couldn't help but comfort him that he could recite it.  , it can be regarded as learning, but where did he learn that his son can take the initiative to study?

    But then, Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck and said: "The purpose of this article is nothing more than the issue of food and clothing."

    "Is the problem of food and clothing?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, chewing on Zhu Houzhao's words.

    Zhu Houzhao continued: "Yes, "Mencius" takes King Wen of Zhou as an example to explain his views on the problem of food and clothing. He believes that only by solving the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the people have land and houses, and can produce food and carry out the sideline business of mulberry silkworms.  Then, the world will live and work in peace and contentment. This is the so-called peaceful and prosperous age"

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes lit up. This explanation was quite satisfactory. It was indeed Mencius¡¯ intention in writing this article.

    Unexpectedlyunexpectedly

    For no reason, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart.

    Just as he was furious just now, it was precisely because the prince did not strive for progress and had no knowledge or skills that he deepened his worries about the future.  But now

    Zhu Houzhao added: "However, if you just say this, I think it is still lacking. There are two other parts of this article that are truly thought-provoking."

    He was actually thought-provoking.

    And there are still two places.

    Not only did Emperor Hongzhi never expect this, everyone in the Nuan Pavilion was also surprised.

    "The articles of saints cannot be interpreted at will. If you are a great Confucian, that's fine. But if you are a simpleton who has not even learned the Four Books and Five Classics, if you misinterpret the meaning of the scriptures at will, wouldn't you go astray?"

    Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "For example, in this article, the sentence 'There are people who are good at caring for the elderly in the world, and benevolent people will think that they will return home.' The main purpose of this article also highlights the word filial piety, which means that filial piety comes first among all good deeds.  A son should be filial to his parents; just as a minister should be loyal to the king; Mencius also had a hidden meaning in this: If loyalty and filial piety are advocated in the world, then great rule of the world will not be far away. However, how can we promote it?  As for loyalty and filial piety, I secretly believe that this is related to the issue of education. If the father and the officials can set an example, then everyone in the world will follow suit. Wouldn't this loyalty and filial piety be generalized?"

    ""

    Emperor Hongzhi's face was still livid just now, with blue veins popping out on his forehead and his hands itching unbearably. But now, when he heard this, his expression softened and he said continuously: "Yes, yes, a son of a man should do this, and a minister should do this; the same thingThe truth is, as a father and a king, you should also set an example. You have read this book.  "

    Zhu Houzhao shrugged his head, but he was not happy yet, because he still vaguely remembered something, and then said: "Also, this article not only advocates loyalty and filial piety, but also clearly states the principles of the saintly king's governance.  A ruler governs the world. The essence of the quality of this world lies in the people. As the article says, only when the people have enough food and clothing can they accept education. After receiving education, they will understand the truth. Therefore, the essence of everything  It also depends on whether the people can have enough food and clothing. Therefore, if a saint king in ancient times encountered dissatisfaction from the people, the first thing he did was not to ask the people why they rebelled, but to first blame themselves for their faults and issue an edict.  Ji, if everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear, and it is too late for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, how can they be troublesome and unruly? Therefore, through this article, I thought that it is difficult to govern the world, but it is easy to say  It's easy. The difficulty lies in the difficulty. The king may not be able to understand the sentiments of the people, but the ease lies in the ease. As long as the emperor can understand the joys and sorrows of the army and the people and prescribe the right medicine, why worry about the country not being able to achieve great governance? "

    ""

    It was extremely quiet in Minglun Hall.

    Everyone held their breath and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

    Your Highness the Crown Princehas enlightened

    This small article not only recited it very well, but also explained the original intention of the article. It also thought divergently and understood the article from the two words of loyalty and filial piety. What followed was even more terrifying, as it directly extended to the emperor's rule of governing the world.  The core explains these truths in their original form.

    Emperor Hongzhi suddenly fell into a trance. His face suddenly turned red, and veins popped out on his forehead. He slapped the desk and the pen holder and inkstone on the desk flew around.

    One of the white jade pen holders fell to the ground with a bang.

    This frightened Zhu Houzhao, and he quickly shrank his neck. What, is that not the right explanation?

    At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi burst out laughing: "Hahahaha"

    This laughter has nothing in common with Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s style.  Emperor Hongzhi looked around, then stared at Zhu Houzhao and said, "This is my Qilin'er."

    As a father, Emperor Hongzhi is of course extremely proud at this moment. His son has made great achievements and has made great progress.  This excitement is no less than that of ordinary people whose children are named on the gold medal list.

    He quickly stood up and walked to Yang Tinghe seriously.

    Yang Tinghe was still wondering where the prince learned these things.

    But he saw Emperor Hongzhi bowing deeply to him.

    Yang Tinghe was stunned.

    No king or father would salute his ministers. He hurriedly bowed down and said, "I will die forever."

    However, Emperor Hongzhi did not feel that he was going too far at all, but said excitedly: "I entrusted the prince to Yang Qing. Yang Qing taught him his profession, solved his doubts, and trained the prince to become a talent. Although I am the emperor, I also know that respecting teachers is noble.  It stands to reason that when I pay this tribute to Yang Qing, I express my gratitude to the Qing family on behalf of the prince."

    Everyone present looked at Yang Tinghe with envy.

    " Yang Shiduo has actually trained the prince to this extent. It was not seen before that the crown prince can be so knowledgeable and sensible. No wonder His Majesty has to pay tribute to Yang Shiduo.

    This is a bit embarrassing!

    Yang Tinghe, however, wanted to die. How could he be so shameless? He said in a confused voice: "Your Majesty, I I am guilty of death because I did not teach the prince Mencius"

    Emperor Hongzhi was startled after hearing this, so he frowned and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

    Zhu Houzhao said with a sigh: "Father, this is what Fang Jifan teaches his sons and ministers."

    ""

    Not many people paid attention to the little flag officer of the Habayashi Guards just now.

    But as soon as these words came out, countless pairs of scorching eyes fell on the rumored evil young man in the capital.

    It had only been a few days since Fang Jifan had been working as an errand in Zhan Shifu. By calculation, it was only half a month. In less than half a month, the Crown Prince, who had always disliked reading, had learned "Mencius" by heart and could still say such a thing.  The truth?
