Chapter Thirteen Yuanjiang's Plans and Shaobao's Persuasion(2/2)

Zhu Yongxing breathed a sigh of relief. This old Guo was not familiar with him yet. He wrote the article in a coquettish way and took several pages. He could understand it, but he was tired. Some officials who had followed him for a long time already knew his likes and dislikes.

, when writing reports, try to be as simple and understandable as possible, putting literary talent second. Moreover, this has been regarded as a secret and is spreading more and more among officials.

"Ah Zhu, you came just in time." Zhu Yongxing leaned back in his chair, pointed at the books on the table, and said: "This is a long and elegant book, and I am really tired from reading it. Give it to me

Tell me what these next few pages mean, and then write a reply."

"Long'er has learned almost enough, and then I can be by the side of the palace every day, busy with correspondence for His Highness." Mengzhu smiled a little apologetically, put down the things in his hands, and first picked up the books on the table.

After reading it once, I slowly explained it to Zhu Yongxing.

The Miao people have a language but no writing. Mengzhu has been influenced and educated by the great shaman Zheng Yannan since she was a child. She has a basic foundation in ancient Chinese, but she has less communication with the Han people. Since she followed Zhu Yongxing, the little girl has become more studious and has collected a lot of books.

She reads and studies whenever she has time. Unlike Zhu Yongxing, she thinks things are less complicated and far-reaching, but she has more time and energy.

"Wait a minute, he said I'm Wang Mang?" Zhu Yongxing frowned again as he listened.

"He did not say that His Highness is Wang Mang, but asked His Highness to learn from Wang Mang's restructuring during the Han Dynasty and not to imitate Wang Mang." Mengzhu hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, do you know about Wang Mang's restructuring during the Han Dynasty?"

"I know a little bit. Anyway, I failed and ruined myself." Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes and said, "How am I like Wang Mang? It sounds like you are scolding me!"

As a reformer, Wang Mang is quite similar to Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty. Before the reform, he was very famous and had a voice of "If I don't get out of office, what will happen to the people". However, none of the reforms were successful, and his reputation was half destroyed.

, Wang Mang further intensified various social conflicts due to the restructuring, which finally led to a peasant uprising led by Red Eyebrows and Green Forest, and ultimately ruined his dynasty.

"Wang Mang's failure in restructuring was due to his arrogant temperament. He was less interested in reforming, blindly admiring the ancients, unrealistic, self-willed, and using inhumane methods. Your Highness, you are wise and brave, and you accept advice with an open mind. You are different." Mengzhu blinked and said with a smile.

: "This Guo Shaobao, I don't mean to scold you, but I mean to advise you."

"Oh, am I as good as you said?" Zhu Yongxing glanced at Mengzhu and said with a smile: "I understand, I don't have the same experience as him, so as not to be as headstrong as Wang Mang."

"Your Highness is wise." Mengzhu complimented with a smile, looking very cute.

Zhu Yongxing smiled helplessly and said: "Indiscriminately granting royal titles, not abiding by the rules of etiquette, not observing benevolence, disturbing the laws of the ancestors, lightly changing the customs of the court, and employing people only based on their own likes and dislikes... Well, what else, nothing
