Chapter 1124: The Son of Heaven generously bestows
Everyone is talking big, everyone is talking about major issues in the country.
But how many people can get to know each other?
The huge problems of the country cannot be solved by one high-level talk.
Just like the shortcomings in military affairs, the root of the problem lies in an inconspicuous little person like Liu Laoxi.
It is precisely because he is young that he can see the big one from the small to solve a problem that Liu Laoxi is worried about, and understand Liu Laoxi's heart. Then... thousands of soldiers can have no worries and the soldiers are willing to serve the emperor. Wherever the court points to, where the sun, moon and flags arrive, the world is invincible, and the land of the four seas is invincible.
The tiger-bearer is not talking big, but with a few inspiring words, a few words of family, country, and a few words of success, people can put their most precious life aside. When those who claim to be saints and are superior turn Liu Laoxi into a string of numbers in the Ministry of War books, the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty have been corrupted. This kind of corrupt first erodes the skin, then the flesh and blood, and finally, it rots to the core. Once something happens, when someone kicks it, it will destroy it. The seemingly millions of numbers collapse.
Liu Jian looked at Zhu Zaimo with tears in his eyes.
It's so difficult, it's too difficult to be the head of the house.
What a good thing about me? I don’t have a high theory. I am trapped in that cabinet. I want to do things and constrain them everywhere. I think I have found the origin of the problem, but in fact, I am not as good as a child.
This is the ultimate truth.
Emperor Hongzhi stroked his beard, and he sank his eyebrows, then stared at Zhu Zaimo.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Because of this, the soldiers are willing to serve their lives and strive for their own lives?"
"Yes." Zhu Zaimo said: "Everyone has weaknesses, everyone is greedy for life and fears death. Sun Chen is afraid of death, and His Majesty also slapped him to death, and he is his mentor..."
Fang Jifan said with a righteous spirit: "A teacher is not afraid of death. If he dies for the country and the people, he is not afraid of anything for the teacher."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in a sideways and said lightly: "Oh, come here, pull the Duke of Qi out and behead him."
Fang Jifan was stunned and urinated, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why are you wronged? My son..."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "So don't argue, listen carefully to Zai Mo."
"Oh." Fang Jifan became honest all of a sudden. After all, he was a master of the All-Eternal Master, but... His Majesty seems to have not played according to the routine recently, which is very worrying.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Zaimo kindly: "You continue talking,"
Zhu Zaimo said: "Everyone is beaten to death. If you want people to muster up the courage, you will understand them. When people like Liu Laoxi are regarded as humans, they can only know their own weaknesses. Your Majesty, when you are a general and know your own weaknesses, you will be invincible. This is the reason that my teacher taught to Sun Chen through Liu Laoxi. This principle will benefit Sun Chen for life."
Only then did Emperor Hongzhi breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the boy in front of him, he was smart, strong, polite and extraordinary, Emperor Hongzhi's heart couldn't help but feel a warmth spread throughout his body.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I... have no entrusted people, and the tuition fee of thousands of taels per year is not in vain."
Seeing that Fang Jifan wanted to speak but stopped, Emperor Hongzhi said, "What do you want to say?"
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, it's obviously 999 taels, and Your Majesty has even given a discount."
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "You are so lucky that you still say it. What about the book fee? What about the ink fee? What about the extracurricular fee? What about the construction fee for the nursery school?"
Fang Jifan suddenly lost his words. Isn’t it all high-end institutions?
Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down: "I... I have such a grandson, so I will have no regrets in this life. This time, Zai Mo is indeed taking risks, but if this adventure can be exchanged for such insightful insights, it can make him understand what the morale of the army is and how to guide these morale, then it will be worth it even if it is exchanged."
Emperor Hongzhi paused, his eyes full of hope, and there were successors.
Compared to the prince who simply thinks of showing off his power, the prince may not be as good as his father, and may never have the achievements of the prince sweeping the desert. However, what his grandson has learned is to observe and summarize the laws of war, which... is the most precious thing.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed in his heart, and then said, "I have read an article in a search publication, saying that since ancient times, even in the Li Dynasty, my country, I have countless skilled craftsmen, and made exquisite utensils, and even countless wooden, earth, buildings and machinery, which are all ingenious. However, people know this but do not know the reason. What does this mean? This means that people know how to make it, but they do not know the principles contained in it.
We all know that making water trucks, but we don’t know why water has power, where does this power come from, and how much power it has. When searching for journals, we must know the truth and why it is. We must explore the most original truth in the world. Only when these truths are understood, then... there will be no lost skills in this world. Only on this basis can people continue to study in depth, explore, and create everything. Do you still remember this paper, Jifan?"
Fang Jifan nodded: "Knowing what is happening and knowing why is it is the slogan of searching for journals, observing everything, exploring everything, and making everything use it for my own use. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty has read these articles, Your Majesty has been doing so every day, and he can still be so clear about it. This makes me feel very ashamed. If your Majesty has the diligence of your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, don't talk so much. I mentioned this because Zai Mo has indeed obtained your true teachings. With this military and political approach, the prince knows the reason, but my grandson knows the reason. One of them swept the desert with his talent and his own interests. He can be regarded as a famous general in a generation. But my grandson has mastered the fundamental principles of military ranks. This... is the most rare thing. Jifan, you teach it well."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "My son is ashamed."
Emperor Hongzhi thought of something and said, "Come on, come and get the pen and ink."
After hearing this, the eunuchs dared not hesitate and took the pen and ink. Emperor Hongzhi walked to the desk, pondered for a moment, picked up the pen, dipped it ink, and pointed the tip of the pen on the white paper. After a moment, the pen was like a dragon and a snake, and then a running script was completed.
When everyone looked at it, they saw four words: "Master of All Ages".
Liu Jian was startled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi only raised his eyelids lightly and said lightly: "I am the emperor. Can't I do whatever I want? The masters of all generations of times, and I also think that Fang Jifan is very enlightened. If anyone is not convinced, then use the principles as the emperor said to me. If they want to submit a memorial, it is okay to scold me. I am a broad-minded person. I will not punish me for words. I can't afford to be a few infamous words? This is given to Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan. Take it home, frame it and hang it in your hall."
Fang Jifan's eyes were straight.
Will Your Majesty be scolded if he writes a book himself?
However, Your Majesty is not afraid of being scolded. What are our Fang Jifan afraid of? If someone doesn’t scold me, I am still unhappy and I will accept it.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, can you stamp a big seal?"
If you buy it, you will leave it and don’t stamp it, it will be easy to regret it.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Take the seal."
The seal was covered, and suddenly, the whole piece seemed to have a soul, and it shone brightly.
Liu Jian shook his head in his heart and sighed. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he would be scolded when he watched His Majesty do such a thing.
But Emperor Hongzhi seemed very excited and held his hands behind his back: "The climate of Datong and the capital is almost the same. However, my first time here, I saw that it was quite lively. This place was originally one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the gateway to the capital. Inside and outside the city of Datong, I don't know how many loyal soldiers have buried their bones here. Liu Qing's family, go and prepare, prepare a tomb in person, and I want to go to pay tribute to the souls of the soldiers."
Liu Jian said: "The old minister... obeys the order."
Emperor Hongzhi then said: "Hao Zhao."
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "My son is here."
"Datong, I guess you are already very familiar with it. Why don't you take me away and take a look."
Zhu Houzhao immediately said, "I am not familiar with my son."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled. How could he not understand his son? This guy is so active. Two days of effort are enough for him to jump up and down like a monkey in this street market in Datong.
…………
Fang Jifan happily got the calligraphy treasure. This is a treasure, which was given by the emperor and praised by the students. The meaning is completely different.
The blood and sweat I have paid over the years have finally been recognized, which has made Fang Jifan feel a little relieved.
Instead of following His Majesty, he went on a tour with His Majesty, but he found a skilled craftsman in Datong overnight, made a huge plaque, and framed the characters.
Then, I hung it in my temporary bedroom where I was and looked at it. Sure enough, the effect was extraordinary and very eye-catching. However, this thing was obviously not hung in the bedroom, but not in the most conspicuous place. For example, Xishan Academy, should I also imitate Confucius and set up a statue? Will this look less reserved?
…………
Emperor Hongzhi stood on the walls of Datong City. The wind was cold and the vision was particularly wide. Although he was wearing a common man, he still had an extraordinary demeanor.
Emperor Hongzhi saw that there were tents outside the city, and the tents were connected into a piece, as if there were people there, and there were also crowds of people.
Emperor Hongzhi looked back: "Crown Prince..."
"Ah." Zhu Houzhao was thinking about his thoughts.
Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the tent outside the city with his hand: "Where is there?"
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Father, there... is the residence of the herdsmen, and most of them are Tatars."
“Tartars…”
