    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao lovingly.

    This child is nothing like me.

    But what does it matter?

    Although he knew that this guy seemed to be submissive, he thought that nine times out of ten, his words would fall on deaf ears, going in one ear and out the other, but Emperor Hongzhi still said: "You have experienced very well in these years.  I have also made a lot of achievements. I am also very happy! I have nothing to ask for. I just ask you to think twice before doing anything. Before you do anything, just think about whether you are worthy of your ancestors.  Lie Zong, that's itfor the rest, just follow your own whim."

    Zhu Houzhao said: "My son, I will obey my father's orders."

    But I was muttering in my heart that things have been so unusual lately.

    Emperor Hongzhi immediately smiled, lowered his head, and glanced at the charter of the Academy of Sciences, with a sense of comparison: "There is an attendant here named Wang Wenyu. Who is this person?"

    Zhu Houzhao said: "I am a student of Xishan Academy. I study astronomy and geography."

    Emperor Hongzhi laughed dumbly.

    He knew a few names in it, but he had never heard of Wang Wenyu, but he didn't know what qualifications this person had to enter the Academy of Sciences.

    He pondered for a moment: "Is astronomy and geography also a science?"

    Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully: "Father, everything in the world has its own knowledge. This Wang Wenyu claims that he has two mentors. One is Wang Shouren, who taught him new knowledge, and the other one is Xu Jing. Speaking of which,  It's strange that Xu Jing went sailing, and this person didn't officially join Xu Jing's family, but Xu Jing's countless illustrations of his voyages over the years are stored in the library of Xishan Academy. What this person loves to study most is  This one claims to have been taught by him.¡±

    "Oh, by the way, the earth under our feet is a round ball. This paper was written by him, completely denying the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round. Not only that, he also observed celestial phenomena. Father, you know,  This kind of navigation not only requires a lot of geographical knowledge, but also needs to know how to observe the celestial phenomena, so that you can better identify the direction. The weather is different in different places. This person writes articles all day long, criticizing Longquan Temple"

    "Criticizing Longquan Temple, doesn't this mean that a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple?" Emperor Hongzhi was surprised.

    If he remembers it well, then Li Zhenren of Longquan Temple is also Fang Jifan¡¯s nephew.

    Zhu Houzhao was happy and in high spirits: "This is a stroke of genius. In this Xishan Academy, no one cares about your knowledge, and they are allowed to talk any nonsense. This person believes that the so-called theory of praying for rain is pure fiction.  , there are no gods or ghosts in the world, this is just a trick He also said that there is a sun in the sky, and the sun generates heat, just like steam, which will turn the water on the ground into steam, and according to what Erchen proposed  Based on the mechanics of gravity, he believed that these steams may be locked when they reach the sky, and then they become clouds and float outside the sky. After the clouds accumulate in the sky, if they encounter cold air, they will condense into water. This is  The origin of rain. All in all, this guy is very weird. However, he has published several papers in journals and obtained academic positions. It is said that he can enter the Academy of Sciences this time. It is said that it is also the result of internal trade-offs within the academy"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded, but then said: "But what's the use of astronomy and geography? It's better to use more agriculture and engineering. Even business is more important."

    Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "My son believes that engineering and learning are the most important, and everything else comes second."

    Emperor Hongzhi gave Zhu Houzhao a meaningful look.

    After thinking for a while, he said: "However, there is nothing wrong with a gentleman respecting ghosts and gods and keeping them at a distance."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, not bad."

    Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt emotional: "The master is obedientI am very touched by these words."

    It seems that without outsiders, Emperor Hongzhi could speak freely: "Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

    Zhu Houzhao: ""

    Emperor Hongzhi did not blame him, but smiled: "The reason why the sage's learning can last forever is that it conforms to the trend. Just like Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, it can spread all over the world. Isn't it also because it goes with the times? This  The new learning was all kinds of strange and diverse. If it had been in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would have been despised by others. Even during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizu Gao saw these bad people's scheming knowledge and insisted on killing Fang Jifan, the culprit.  No brain."

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "That's because, during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, when the world was first settled, it was most necessary to stabilize people's hearts and to bring order to all the subjects of the world. Those bandits who had been in war when war broke out before had to use torture to attack them.  Also neededA set of etiquette to restrain them and curb their restless desires.  Therefore, when Neo-Confucianism flows freely, the king, the king, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, the sons.  "

    When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he paused: "But today, all the people in the world take my family name Zhu as their national surname. People abide by etiquette and do not dare to step beyond the fish pond. And the problem in today's world is no longer that people's hearts are unstable, but  The reason is that the land is increasingly being annexed, tyrants are everywhere, the people have no place to stand, and the wealthy families are stinking of wine and meat. At this point, if these imminent refugees are ignored, the world will sooner or later be in chaos."

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I have been looking for a solution to this problem during the years since I ascended the throne. Neo-Confucianism cannot solve it, and the theory of monarchs and ministers cannot allow people to go hungry and wander around to abide by etiquette. It is precisely  In the new learning, a gentleman has a conscience and practices benevolent government. Only in this way can the most important contradiction at present be alleviated. The essence of Neo-Confucianism is to lose aggressiveness and blindly cut costs. It can be used when people's hearts are first settled! And this new learning is  Open source can be used when people's livelihood is withering and people are looking for food!"

    Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "Ah, it turns out that my father had his own plans a long time ago. I thought that my father could not stand those hypocritical hypocrites for a long time. Just now"

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "What is the emperor? The emperor is the lord of all the people. He has great power, but at the same time, he is expected by the public. I have my own considerations. How is it possible to easily change my likes and dislikes for a person or a group of people?  Change the national policy. When Emperor Taizu Gao, the Confucian scholars were the ones he hated the most. This was because of some of the experiences that Emperor Taizu Gao had before he started the army. But even if he gritted his teeth, he would skin and accuse some scholars who had evil deeds.  Damn it, among the national policies formulated, isn¡¯t it that scholars are given preferential treatment and that the gentry are given a lot of privileges?¡±

    "Therefore, as a king, you should not look at a thing in terms of likes and dislikes. When looking at a person, you should think about whether this person is usable and whether this thing is feasible. In this regard, you will never be as good as inheriting the vassal.  Although this guy is loyal, he is also very clever in everything he does. Therefore, he agrees with me in everything. I know that this will be good for the court, the world, and me, so I took his disciple.  The heads of the disciples are here to serve as guarantee, but as for you, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want."

    Zhu Houzhao scratched his head: "My sonmy son"

    But at this moment, Xiao Jing came, and Emperor Hongzhi coughed. The words he just said were personal words between father and son. Even in front of Xiao Jing, Emperor Hongzhi tried his best to say it.

    Xiao Jing stepped forward with a smile, holding a charter in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqinghe has reported it. Inside, there are appointments and dismissals of officials from Tongzhou Prefecture. Tongzhou Prefecture has four counties under its jurisdiction, and everyone knows from the government.  To the general judge, then to the county magistrate, county magistrate, bookkeeper, etc"

    Emperor Hongzhi took it and opened the charter. When he saw it, he frowned.

    There are forty-three officials recommended here. It can be said that almost all the ninth-grade officials in Tongzhou Prefecture are included.

    And quite a few of these recommended officials were well known to Emperor Hongzhi.

    "This magistrate of Wuqing County is actually Chen Mao?"

    Zhu Houzhao was also very interested in this matter in Tongzhou: "Father, does this person have any reputation?"

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "You have never heard of this man? This man is a famous minister. Ten years ago, he was just a civil servant and a small county magistrate under Qiongzhou Prefecture. You know what kind of place Qiongzhou is.  , but within three months after he took office, he eliminated thieves in the county, rebuilt the county school, and dealt with the backlog of cases that had been backlogged for more than two years. When the people of the county saw him, they felt like the rain came after a long drought.  . After that, I appointed him as the magistrate of Taiping Prefecture in Nanzhili. This man's political achievements were also outstanding. This man was honest and honest, with a breeze in his sleeves and a steady work. Later, he entered the Dali Temple and had good political achievements. I have always valued him.  , Unexpectedly Yang Yiqing, a small Wuqing County under Tongzhou, actually recommended this person. For such a person to govern a county, wouldn't it be killing a chicken with a knife?"

    Zhu Houzhao was not a fool. When he heard this, he immediately became angry: "This is unfair, unfair. If such a person becomes a county magistrate, then other county magistrates and county magistrates are not all the most capable in our Ming Dynasty."  Official? Yang Yiqing is clearlycheating."

    "No wonder Yang Yiqing!" Emperor Hongzhi saw many familiar names again and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No wonder, you are too high-profile. This time, you want to dig out the officials. Can they not rebound? Behind Yang Yiqing's back  , we are all the imperial examination officials in the Ming Dynasty, and this time we plan to roll up our sleeves and give you and your successors a hard time!"

    Zhu Houzhao felt that his face was burning with pain: "That dog-like thing dares to hit Erchen in the face. Erchen will drag Lao Fang to his house tomorrow and make his whole family miserable."

    Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao.

    Zhu Houzhao was able to laugh: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke. I'm not that kind of person. I'm reasonable. It's just that this guy Lao Fang can't control his temper. He will do something that is harmful to nature.  I can¡¯t guarantee it.¡±
