    Zhu Houzhao almost parroted what he said.

    What he said are all Wang Shouren¡¯s original words.

    In the past two days, while plowing the fields, he listened to Wang Shouren's words, and he listened very carefully.

    This is an unprecedented experience for him. In Zhan Shifu's class, he may not have learned as much as he has learned in these two days in many years.

    This is of course because he is very interested in this way of learning. Zhu Houzhao is an active person. It is better to kill him than to let him sit obediently in class.

    On the other hand, once Zhu Houzhao became interested, with his intelligence and comprehensive understanding, he had a terrifying ability to digest and understand.

    In history, this young man, known as Ming Wuzong, relied entirely on his own self-study and interest to master the art of war. Without any actual combat, he dispatched troops and generals and defeated the Mongolian cavalry.  The emperor.

    But Zhu Houzhao¡¯s shameless statement was still a bit over the top.

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.

    But at this momenthe was even more shocked.

    After all, Emperor Hongzhi had governed the world for more than ten years, and he was well aware of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, but he could not change them.

    In fact, as long as what the prince said has a little bit of truth, the father can't help but feel happy. He does not have high demands on Zhu Houzhao. But today, Zhu Houzhao's words, whether he agrees with them or not, are enough to shock him.

    Looking at this dirty son, he criticized empty talk and advocated pragmatism.

    Emperor Hongzhi actually had some sudden feelings.

    ¡°Is this still his uneducated and idle son?

    Zhu Houzhao saw that everyone was silent.

    The most powerful thing about Mr. Wang is not that he makes a lot of sense, but that he led Zhu Houzhao to practice it.

    Practice itself is the most convincing evidence. This is by no means comparable to Yang Ting and those who are locked in a study, read countless books, and claim to be extremely talented.

    Because, Zhu Houzhao asked you, have you ever farmed?  you have not!  But I have it.

    In fact, at this time, even though Yang Tinghe had a lot of truth, he was already doomed to lose.

    Of course, with Yang Tinghe's knowledge, he could use a hundred sophistical methods to rub Zhu Houzhao on the ground.

    "But Zhu Houzhao's identity is the prince, and he is in front of the emperor. Using the scholar's unique sophistry skills will not do Yang Tinghe any good. On the contrary it will make his majesty displeased.

    Therefore, he could only stare.

    And Zhu Houzhao had completely exploded at this time.

    He has been suppressed for too long, and no one has ever listened carefully to what he said. Everyone only regards him as a child who will not grow up.

    He has grown up!

    ¡°At least, he can distinguish what is good and what is bad, and knows that sitting in the study and reading is meaningless.  I know that when I go farming myself, I realize the hardship of people¡¯s livelihood.

    "Father, I was very hard during the farming process and my hands were worn out. When I returned to the East Palace and took off my boots, I realized that several blood blisters had appeared. But I went there on the first day and on the second day.  I still go. This is because I just want to experience the hardships of farmers. After I cultivate, I can still go back to the East Palace and be cared for by others, but what about ordinary farmers?"

    Zhu Houzhao showed sympathy on his face, and immediately spoke to Emperor Hongzhi seriously.

    "Mr. Wang said that if a person has no empathy, then no matter how rich he is, no matter how knowledgeable he is, he will be just like the person who wrote a letter to encourage farmers. In fact, not only will it not be beneficial to the country, but it will also be harmful.  When I thought about it, my father actually sent out this letter to encourage farmers. After the farmers heard it, they were dumbfounded and couldn't help but make fun of the imperial court for knowing nothing about farming. How would they make fun of the imperial court."

    "Master Yang said that the world will be governed by great rule, so the world will return to its heart. But when an edict like a letter to encourage farmers is issued, how can the people be convinced?"

    "My son after farming, I listened to Mr. Wang reciting this "Book of Encourage to Farmers" and subconsciously felt ashamed. This is a great shame and humiliation! Therefore, Mr. Wang also said that empathy is the basis of learning, and empathy is the sacrifice.  After that, conscience is nothing but loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. How can there be such complexity? Once you have conscience, is it difficult to practice it? Master Yang and the others hide in the study every day, behind closed doors, teaching students all day long.  The palace must love the people like a son, treat the people well, and implement benevolent government"

    Yang Tinghe¡¯s face instantly turned pale.

    ¡°This prince, His Highness, is simply holding on to himself.

    ??I love farming. Farming is a great subject. I still have a lot to learn. Of course, the most important thing is that I also keep in mind my responsibilities. I will never farm just for the sake of farming, but in the process of farming.  , learn the principles of the saints.  "

    "Today I know how profound the saint's way is, and how important the benevolent government he wants to implement is. And this is exactly what I learned from farming. If you don't know the suffering of the people, how can you know what benevolent government is. Only if you know  The people are miserable. I see that their clothes are in rags. I see that they don¡¯t have enough to eat. I see that they work hard. Their income is not enough for a scrap of material on my clothes. One meal of my palace is more than what they have for a year.  The more I gain, the more I see, the more I can understand the meaning of the way of a saint."

    "What is the way of a saint? In short, farming!"

    ¡°¡­¡± Yang Tinghe¡¯s old face twitched.

    Zhu Houzhao sighed with emotion. This time, he was not arguing for the sake of debate, but sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Only through farming can food grow in the land and feed the people of the world. The principles of the saints are found in the fields.  It¡¯s not in the book.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
