The man recited: "The king will judge three things: one is that virtue is not worthy of one's position; two is that merit is not worthy of one's salary; three is that ability is not worthy of one's official position; these three principles are the root of chaos; the virtues and justice of the country are not yet clear.
Those who are in the court cannot be honored; those whose skills have not been seen in the country cannot be given high salaries; those who do not trust the people when dealing with matters cannot be appointed to high officials; therefore, those who have great virtues but low status are called faults; those who have poor virtues and have low status are called faults;
The venerable man called it a loss..."
"There are four things a ruler should be careful about: first, if he is not extremely benevolent, he should not be given the power of the country. Second, he should not give way to the virtuous, and he should not give him a high position. Third, he should avoid relatives and nobles as a punishment, and should not lead the army. Fourth, if he does not have good skills, he should be cautious.
If you do not pay attention to the geographical advantages and pay too little attention to the wealth and wealth, you will not be able to compete with the capital. These four things are the foundation of security. Therefore, it is said:..."
"Prince! Prince! What are you doing? Does the prince understand the meaning of the article I read? Prince...??"
Zhang Yanling walked to the side of the long window and looked in between the flower window barriers. He saw a man in his thirties standing in the room with his hands behind his hands, holding a book in his hands. The man had a handsome appearance and a tall and tall figure.
, although he is not tall, he has a calm and calm demeanor.
However, at this moment, the man was frowning and looking at the prince Zhu Houzhao sitting at the table next to him, and he was saying something.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao again, he was leaning on the desk, eyes wide open and yawning, as if he hadn't woken up, with a look of impatience on his face.
"His Royal Highness, these are the words that the predecessors summarized for governing the country. Your Highness should remember to read them thoroughly, thinking that they will be useful for governing the country in the future. Why did Your Highness fall asleep? How can you learn these principles well? Your Highness, how can you learn these principles well?
Be energetic and must not slack off. You must know that Your Highness will be the lord of the world in the future. The wealth and lives of hundreds of millions of people and the Ming Dynasty will all depend on Your Majesty. Your Highness..." Yang Tinghe said with a frown.
Speak with sincerity and sincerity.
Zhu Houzhao looked annoyed and shouted: "Sister Yang, I have memorized these things by heart, what else do I need to learn? If you don't believe me, I will recite it to you. Can't you teach me something interesting? These are commonplace things every day.
, what’s the point? Today this sage says to govern the country this way, and tomorrow someone else says to govern the country that way, who should I listen to?”
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "This is exactly what your Highness wants to learn from the experts of other schools. Reading requires a lot of understanding, so what's the use of just memorizing it? You have to know its meaning, understand its principles, and know its implications. How can these be?
What about the cliché? Interesting, interesting, what’s interesting? What do you want to learn?”
Zhu Houzhao said: "I like to read the art of war. You can find some military books to teach me."
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "Nonsense, what are you learning about the art of war? A king should know how to be cautious in military affairs, instead of being warlike and fond of soldiers. Besides, fighting art of war is a matter for ministers, what is your highness doing by learning it?"
Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "Xueshi Yang, I don't agree with what you said. If our Emperor Taizu didn't know how to use soldiers, how could we have such a great world? Learning the art of war for the emperor is the right way, but what you said is so unbearable,
I don’t think so. What do you mean, my great ancestor is no longer a good emperor?”
Yang Tinghe was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhang Yanling was listening to this conversation outside and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Who is making the noise outside?" Yang Tinghe turned around and asked loudly.
Zhang Yanling had no choice but to show up and walk to the door. Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Yanling and said happily: "Uncle is here."
Zhang Yanling bowed and saluted: "I have met the prince!"
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Excuse me, uncle is here...?"
Zhang Yanling winked and made an expression that could only be understood. Zhu Houzhao made an expression that was understanding and glanced at Yang Tinghe, which meant: He is here and really cannot say anything clearly.
Yang Tinghe stood aside and frowned. Zhang Yanling turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Scholar Yang is polite."
Of course Yang Tinghe knew Zhang Yanling. The name of the emperor's brother-in-law was known to everyone in the court. The ridiculous things he did and the people he did to shame had long been the subject of conversation and jokes in everyone's spare time. How could such a famous person do this?
Don't know.
"It turns out you are the Marquis of Jianchang, so you are polite. Is there something wrong with the Marquis of Jianchang?" Yang Tinghe returned the courtesy calmly and asked in a deep voice.
"Scholar Yang, I'm here to see the prince. I heard from the chamberlains that the prince is studying in Jingming Pavilion, so I came to take a look. I don't want to disturb you. I'm sorry." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
"Since you are aware of the intrusion, please exit and wait. No one is allowed to disturb the prince while he is studying," Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "I see. However, I do have something to report to the Crown Prince. Can the lecture end here for today?"
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "How can that happen? When you enter school, be careful not to be distracted. This is the rule."
Zhang Yanling said: "Can't we be accommodating?"
Yang Tinghe said indifferently: "Of course we can't be accommodating."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Who set these rules?"
Yang Tinghe said: "It's me."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said with a smile: "The national laws take into account human relations, let alone the rules for studying. Not to mention the rules set by Bachelor Yang himself. These rules make no sense. There is no need to abide by unreasonable rules."
Yang Tinghe said coldly: "Marquis of Jianchang, Mr. Yang is giving lectures to the prince according to the emperor's order, teaching the principles of economics and governing the country, and studying the articles of the sages. This is an important matter related to the future of our Ming Dynasty. Please don't do it, Marquis of Jianchang."
You're messing around here."
Zhang Yanling put away her smile and frowned: "You said I'm being reckless?"
Yang Tinghe said: "It seems to be true at present."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Sister Yang, it is important to give lectures to the prince, but it doesn't matter what you say, and the rules you set may not be the rules. You use the emperor's will to speak, which seems to threaten me.
You also said that this is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty and the country, and you are even more suspicious of self-esteem. I don’t care about this. I just listened outside for a while, and I feel that Academician Yang is not a good lecturer. With all due respect, I
I am very doubtful about your teaching skills. If the prince learns from you, I will be able to govern the world in the future. I am full of doubts in my heart."
"What?" Yang Tinghe's face changed drastically. Zhang Yanling actually questioned his knowledge to his face. To put it bluntly, he said that he was not qualified to teach the prince. He even said that he would teach the prince badly, and the prince would not learn anything from following him. This was very important to Yang Tinghe.
For me, that would be even more humiliating than slapping myself.
He, Yang Tinghe, had always prided himself on his talent and learning. He became famous at a young age. He passed the provincial examination at the age of twelve and became a Jinshi at the age of nineteen. He went to the Imperial Academy to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister. Everyone from top to bottom praised him, and all the learned people in the court were praised.
He admired his writing and character. Because of this, he was able to become the lecturer in the East Palace and became the prince's teacher. With his talent and academic qualifications, it was almost certain that he would join the cabinet soon.
However, it was a great humiliation for the uneducated Marquis of Jianchang in front of him to question himself so much.
Zhu Houzhao was shocked that his uncle actually said such a thing. Although Yang Tinghe was annoying, such words were not something that could be said casually. Yang Tinghe was appointed by his father as his assistant lecturer. His uncle was afraid that he might have stabbed him.
Lou Zi.
"Marquis Jianchang, you need to speak clearly today. Do you doubt my talent and learning, Yang Tinghe, and think I am incompetent?" Yang Tinghe said coldly.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said, "Are you angry, Master Yang? You can't lose your grace. Ya Shengyun: I'm happy to hear it. If Master Yang is angry, it goes against the teachings of the sages."
Yang Tinghe laughed angrily, he didn't expect this ignorant person to be able to come up with a sage's words.
