Bringing his two young sons to climb Banzai Mountain, the emperor really didn't think so much - or, although this year is the twenty-seventh year of Yongchen, he has been on the throne for twenty-six years, but he is still essentially the maverick and freewheeling son of heaven when he was a child, which is a trait imprinted in his bones, and it is also a trait affirmed by his father, Emperor Ruizong.

He still remembers the words of his father, who grabbed his hand before he died.

"You are a lively, active, energetic child, different from the virtuous prince and Shengmingjun that the minister expects. What they need is a famous monarch of the ages who sits on the throne with a steady and dignified manner, who can accept their advice, and will not be angry even if they spit on the stars. But that kind of emperor is just a clay puppet, but you are more suitable. ”

"Listen, but don't be biased; Checks and balances, but not all power; Be wise, but don't be kind; Be decisive and, if necessary, be brutal...... Of course, you are still too young, everything will be handed over to your mother first, and you must believe in her, just as I believe in you and hand over this country to you. I have chosen the best teacher for you, and you have to learn from him. ”

At this time, when I arrived at the top of the mountain, recalling my father's last earnest teaching, the emperor had mixed feelings, and then said to Ge Yong with a sigh: "Although my father told me a lot back then, if it weren't for the teachers who gave me some teachings all the time, maybe I would have been crooked a long time ago. ”

"The emperor is embarrassed to say." Ge Yong glanced at the emperor with an unkind face, "The minister has never seen such a stubborn student, compared to these two sensible little princes, the emperor was really far behind at that time!" ”

Seeing that the third prince and the fourth prince were still surrounding Zhang Shou and asking long and short questions, there was both curiosity and real admiration on their faces, the emperor suddenly turned his head away in embarrassment, and then coughed and said: "Didn't I lose my loving father at that time, and my strict mother was in charge of her head and feet all day long, and the ministers still like to point fingers, I am a little annoyed, so I am a little rebellious?" ”

"A little? What's more, if you change someone with a single eye to be your teacher for the emperor, you may be angry with you! Fortunately, the old guy with bones knows how to be flexible, and he has rectified you a few times, otherwise...... Hehe! ”

Zhang Shou didn't notice the conversation between Ge Yong and the emperor's teachers and students, and he finally got out of the endless problems of the two little princes, and handed the two to Zhu Ying, who was very experienced in dealing with them, so he came to Ge Yong and the emperor. Before he could speak, Ge Yong smiled and asked, "Have you been deflated this time?" Small children are not so perfunctory either! ”

The teacher laughed, I didn't want to perfunctory them. There are many poor people in Jiuzhangtang now, because among those scholars who are full of poetry and books and have a decent family background, even if there are also those who are also proficient in arithmetic, I am afraid that they will not focus on arithmetic. And if there are two princes who are among them with their real talents, then they will become a striking benchmark in the future. ”

Seeing that the emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "However, they have to really be admitted based on their strength." I'm not going to show mercy. Not to mention anything else, this year's exam questions are going to be more difficult than last year's. ”

The emperor glanced at the two young sons who were chattering around Zhu Ying not far away with some sympathy, and then smiled and said, "Your method of trying to capture and indulge in the past may really have some effect." However, if San Lang and Shiro really enter the Jiuzhang Hall, you really plan to teach them only arithmetic and things...... Well, it seems to be called physics? ”

"The minister will not teach anything else except this."

Zhang Shou looked at the emperor with very innocent eyes, and then said calmly: "Could it be that when the third prince and the fourth prince grow up, they still have to listen to the ministers use that kind of three-legged cat to tell them history?" Pulling a random person out of the Hanlin Courtyard is better than the minister's speech, so such a ridiculous and generous thing is enough to try it in the Mid-Levels Hall in the past. ”

"I don't think you speak badly, if it's not good, then the teachers used to give me lectures, and that's what they did, and your teachers and students are in the same vein."

The emperor praised Zhang Shou with a smile, and when he saw that he seemed to want to be humble, he stopped: "Okay, let's not talk about your teachers and students, the old profession of teaching and educating people, tell me about Cangzhou." Although Zhang Shou has sent me relevant reports from time to time before, it is better to be detailed than verbally. Teacher, you also remember to supplement Zhang Shou next to you. ”

Although he was still reminiscing about his childhood with the emperor just now, Ge Yong was still very serious when it came to business at this time. Next, Zhang Shou began to tell in detail about the events he experienced after Cangzhou, and even the acquaintance and correspondence with the old salted fish were also detailed - of course, he saw those good things such as chili peppers, potatoes and peanuts that he had been away from for a long time, so he omitted this kind of thing about cooking himself.

As for how Zhu Tingfang fell from the sky and broke the chaos in the palace; how to kill Xu Cheng; How to kill those rich businessmen, he didn't care whether his uncle had a report or not, he talked about it in one piece. Of course, Zhu Tingfang's stubble was roughly sorted out from the narration of Zhu Er and the old salted fish and little peanut.

Of course, he also gave a general introduction to his own small plans and the small groups that planned to experiment in Cangzhou.

As for Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, who have successively pitted the eldest prince...... Although he didn't want to say it to stimulate the emperor, who was a father, he caught a glimpse of the third prince and the fourth prince were still restrained by Zhu Ying not far away, and it was impossible to hear the humiliating scene of their eldest brother, so he thought about it for a while and said it as it was.

The emperor listened carefully, angry, ashamed, regretful, and blamed himself...... All kinds of negative emotions have long been vented when he first learned all kinds of news, and at this time, while listening, analyzing, and summarizing, he is a completely rational son of heaven, or in other words, a son of heaven who strives to maintain his maximum rationality.

When he finally listened to Zhang Shou's account one by one and Ge Yong's supplementary information, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a wry smile: "I am very glad that I didn't let that rebel go to Jiangnan now." But what I regret even more is that because of a moment of soft-heartedness, thinking that he is more stable than Erlang, and he wants to make a difference, I believe him. ”

"The minister has long said that the emperor simply hates the eldest prince and the second prince, it is useless. No matter how much the queen objected at the beginning, as long as the emperor could forcefully take the two sons over and put them to be raised by the queen mother, they would not be like this. ”

When Ge Yong said this, his face showed an expression of extreme annoyance: "As a result, I have only been teaching them for a few days, even if I have the two words of this teacher on my head, I will be said to be disciplining me now and in the future, I am really wronged!" ”

The emperor has never had much of an emperor's frame in front of this teacher, so he only smiled bitterly at this time: "I am too lazy to quarrel with the queen, or even bother to see her, I just think that she should always know that her son is the foundation, plus after the teacher left the two brothers alone, she also found a famous teacher, I never thought that the two sons would grow like this." ”

Zhang Shou has no intention of getting involved in this kind of taboo topic - although he is quite disgusted with the eldest prince and the second prince, he naturally wants to stay away from this kind of royal family affairs. So, he silently took two steps back and quietly came to the pavilion to the south.

Here can condescendingly overlook the whole palace city, only to see the glazed tiles of the three major halls shining under the sun, the magnificent palace, the palace behind the Xuanwu Gate wall, those neatly dressed in and out of the palace and the inner servants, all let him unconsciously recall the scene of overlooking the Forbidden City on Jingshan.

To be honest, after visiting the Forbidden City in his previous life, he was actually disappointed. Because the blue bricks on the square in front of the Taihe Palace have been pitted, and the palace that should be gorgeous is bleak, countless people are rushing around the small palace to take pictures, as well as the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, which sounds broken and small...... Anyway, he was dissatisfied when he came out of the gray back door of the Forbidden City.

He only felt that this Forbidden City was really in vain...... It's not even a façade.

However, all these emotions disappeared after he climbed Jingshan Mountain to overlook the Forbidden City. At that time, the sunset shone on the palace complex, the towering red walls were magnificent, the golden glazed tiles were magnificent, and the palaces were neatly arranged, and it was completely impossible to see the countless tourists like ants inside.

At that moment, the feeling of the pearl being dusty completely receded from this museum, and was replaced by the vicissitudes of history, thick and atmospheric. It was at that moment that he truly understood a truth - distance produces beauty.

But the palace standing in front of him right now, you say it's only a hundred years old, but he also includes part of the palace group of Yuan Dadu. And it is a little larger than the Forbidden City in terms of scale. Not to mention anything else, as far as the Fengtian Palace, which he has entered and has never changed its name, it is more than twice as big as the Taihe Palace, and Qingning Palace is also much larger than Cining Palace......

In other words, the Emperor Taizu, who had reached the full value of the map skills, was obviously dissatisfied with the scale of the Forbidden City. Of course, people didn't have enough energy to build a Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, because the Qianqing Palace seemed to maintain its original scale, and listening to Zhu Ying, the harem was not very spacious.

In view of the fact that this kind of opportunity to overlook Miyagi on Banzai Mountain is very rare, and it is probably unlikely that he will have a second time in his life, Zhang Shou naturally took advantage of this time to take a leisurely look.

I don't know how long he stood there, but suddenly a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind his back and violently blindfolded him. Knowing that only Zhu Ying did this kind of thing in such a place, he simply didn't struggle, didn't speak, just stood there quietly.

As if because he didn't speak, the girl behind him removed her hand unhappily, and then shouted angrily: "Ah Shou, are you a piece of wood?" Why don't you even ask who it is? ”

"Because I know it's you." Zhang Shou smiled slightly, and then turned around. Seeing Zhu Ying, who was dressed in red and glamorous, standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, with chagrin clearly written on his face, he said slowly, "Even if the third prince and the fourth prince want to joke with me, they are not tall enough to blindfold me, and the emperor and the teacher will not do such an unsuitable thing." And the other guards did not dare. ”

"You have to think so much at this time, you are so old-fashioned!"

Zhu Ying frowned a little boringly, but when she followed it, she was stunned all of a sudden. Because Zhang Shou actually strode forward and took her hand with a smile. When she was dragged by Zhang Shou to look at Miyagi side by side, she suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but sneer: "Ah Shou, the emperor is also over there, why are you suddenly so bold!" ”

"You're just going to be me on a whim."

Zhang Shou didn't look at how the emperor and Ge Yong would react when they saw this scene, and still smiled and held Zhu Ying's hand. When he noticed that Zhu Ying had scolded him twice, but the actual action was to hold his hand tightly in turn, he couldn't help but think to himself that it was really a fateful thing to be able to meet such a warm and generous girl who never twisted and shy in such an era.

"There are very few outsiders who can climb Banzai Mountain, and there are probably not many outsiders who can see the whole of Miyagi here. Standing here, I feel that Emperor Taizu rebuilt the capital and rebuilt the palace on the ruins at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, instead of simply abandoning it, and this mind is indeed extraordinary. ”

He paused, smiled sideways and said to Zhu Ying: "Although Yuan Dadu is also the national capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it is because Mengyuan came from the grassland, so he naturally tends to be closer to the grassland, and Taizu raised troops from the south, but finally drove out the Tartars, but he still used Yuan Dadu as the capital, and passed down a sentence that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, no wonder you have always admired and admired Taizu so much." ”

Zhu Ying naturally smiled, and nodded heavily without thinking about it at this time: "At that time, the northern captives had just retreated into the grassland, and the north was not peaceful at all. In addition, Grandpa Taizu didn't want to seal the border towns, so naturally the former Yuan Dadu was the best choice when establishing the capital. ”

"Although the imperial city map designed by Grandpa Taizu is very different from the palace of Yuan Dadu, the one who designed the reconstruction of the capital is the ancestor of Grandpa Ge, he is very powerful, and he can also trust those craftsmen, not only perfectly realized every idea of Grandpa Taizu. Whether it is a horizontal and vertical street, a symmetrical castle, or a symmetrical palace, all the details have been taken care of......"

Zhu Ying talked endlessly about the history of the capital and the palace, and didn't feel that there was anything unpleasant about mentioning this kind of thing in the pile of old papers in this kind of place, so that she originally felt that this pair of children was not only so close, but also stood together to be worthy of the right emperor, and at this moment she couldn't help but cover her forehead.

"What should I say? What pot with what lid? At this time, in such a rare place, shouldn't they swear an oath? ”

Ge Yong glanced at the emperor with contempt, and then said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, you have read too many legendary scripts. ”

The third prince and the fourth prince rarely saw their father being trained, and at this time they wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so they could only look at the legendary most powerful Ge Taishi with admiration. And Ge Yong sighed and said a word under the admiring gaze of the two children.

"There is a good saying, there is no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear. Since he is a lover with a sharp heart, don't say anything about the scenery and the scenery...... The two of them stood there, and there was one more scenery everywhere. ”

The Emperor looked at the little children with their backs to him. Indeed, the scenery is unique here.
