When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. His son and daughter also participated in this special scientific examination of geophysics?
Instinctively, he felt that this was not good!
No matter how unconventional and innovative Emperor Chongzhen was, he still had a certain temperament.
So, I saw him shaking his head and saying: "They can forget it!"
When Concubine Tian saw it, she did not give up and continued to fight: "Didn't Your Majesty just say that anyone can do it, so why can others do it but not my own son or daughter?"
Emperor Chongzhen heard this and was about to explain, Concubine Tian Guifei said first: "The purpose of your Majesty's special scientific examination on gewu studies is to discover talents in gewu studies, right? Your son and daughter are both gewu studies
A leader in the field! Besides, you said that if they pass the scientific examination, they will be re-employed. I think your re-appointment is not to let them become officials, but to further their knowledge in physics and train them so that they can
It’s better to do some research on geophysics, right?”
If we say that in this world, the person who knows Emperor Chongzhen best after fifteen years of Chongzhen is definitely Concubine Tian. Apart from Emperor Chongzhen, she has the most contacts with Liu Weichao and has watched the most videos of later generations. Even Queen Zhou has
Not as much as her.
Therefore, she understood Emperor Chongzhen’s purpose of organizing this special scientific examination on geophysics. Emperor Chongzhen could only nod in response to what she said at this time, acknowledging that she was right.
Seeing this, Concubine Tian continued to strike while the iron was hot and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Then why can't your Majesty's sons and daughters participate? Their knowledge in the study of objects will definitely be among the best. If they can meet your requirements for them in the study of objects, they will definitely be among the best."
, Let them also have the opportunity to learn more knowledge about geology and make more achievements in geology. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to you and the Ming Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but ponder.
He admitted that he was preparing those who passed the special scientific examination to engage in the study of objects, not to let them become officials or give them fame. In other words, these people and those who took the ordinary scientific examination were still
Different.
In this case, if his son or daughter excels in this area, it will not conflict with the current official system.
There is another one. When Liu Weichao was chatting with him, he once strongly criticized the existing vassal system in the Ming Dynasty. It was a pig-raising system, which was harmful to the court but not beneficial at all. Therefore, in the future, he wanted to eliminate the vassal system.
The king enfeoffed it.
If you let them master more knowledge about geophysics, it can be regarded as teaching them some abilities to become useful vassal kings, so that they will not be enfeoffed and still have to wait for death.
For other vassal kings, Emperor Chongzhen may have seen through it because he understood the original history. If he didn't care much, he still paid great attention to his own son... After all, he was a father, so how could he not care about the well-being of his son and daughter?
good!
Of course, even if his son and daughter do not take the special scientific examination on geophysics, they will still have the opportunity to continue their studies.
Emperor Chongzhen was still thinking about it. Concubine Tian Guifei saw that he had not spoken for a long time and was obviously still hesitating, so she continued to talk: "If they can participate in the special scientific examination of Gewu, they can know their level in the entire Ming Dynasty."
, can spur them to continue working hard in the study of geophysics. Your Majesty, rest assured, I think they are all good people and will not embarrass you. Otherwise, let them not expose the identity of the prince and princess, and treat them as ordinary people.
It’s time for people to take the scientific examination!”
"That's not what you mean!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately explained. Suddenly, he came to his senses and asked curiously, "Who asked you to persuade me?"
Concubine Tian now only has one son, Zhu Cizheng, who is only twelve years old. The most important thing is that this is an honest boy. At least in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is impossible for him to come to his mother to talk about this matter.
And he also knew Concubine Tian. Generally speaking, she would not do such outrageous things. At most, she would do harmless things, which she would do occasionally.
At this time, without waiting for Concubine Tian to answer, Emperor Chongzhen guessed: "Is this girl like Ainao here to pester you?"
After much thought, he found that the only person most likely to have such thoughts on this matter was his eldest daughter.
I have already reached the age to talk about marriage, but I don't agree to talk about marriage, and I am just obsessed with the study of studies. Now that there is a special scientific examination for study of studies, talents are still selected in an eclectic way, regardless of whether they have merit or fame.
It would be strange if she wasn't moved!
After Concubine Tian heard this, she immediately laughed without hiding it, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Aelao knew that if she went to find her mother, Queen Zhou would definitely not agree if she did things very strictly, so she pestered Concubine Tian and asked her to talk to Emperor Chongzhen and give her a chance to prove herself.
At this time, Concubine Tian saw that Emperor Chongzhen still seemed to disagree, so she helped Zhu Aona and said: "Isn't Your Majesty worried about her marriage? She said that she wanted to marry a consort who was capable in the study of objects, so that in the future
The two of you will not be bored, and we can go further in the study of objects together!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, unable to understand Zhu Aona's thoughts.
After lamenting the generation gap, he said: "After the special scientific examination on geophysics is over, wouldn't it be great if I selected the unmarried young talents among them to marry them?"
"No, she said that her future husband will be with her for the rest of her life, and she wants to choose it by herself first!" After hearing this, Concubine Tian pretended to be angry and said, "How can you make the decision on your own in matters of marriage! I have already lectured her, but she
She said that the fairy world advocates freedom of marriage, and she just wants to find someone she is satisfied with. Otherwise, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life. Can we bear it? "
Gu Qiao
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless when he heard this.
Obviously, this daughter was probably influenced by later generations of film and television songs and the like, so she had such an idea.
But thinking about it, it seems that it is true. After all, it is a lifelong matter for the daughter. If she is not satisfied, it will be difficult for her in the future.
The royal marriage of the Ming Dynasty was different from other dynasties and was quite special.
The emperor's concubines, including the emperor, cannot come from official families. All aristocratic families come from ordinary people's families.
The emperor's daughters, that is, the princesses, could only marry those who were not officials, that is, the prince-in-law could not become an official. This also led to the fact that outstanding young talents in the Ming Dynasty would not become prince-son-in-law.
Of course, the prince-in-law is also treated well. The prince-in-law is Wei, which is a kind of title. There is no problem with glory and wealth.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this matter and thought that the talents he selected for specializing in the study of physical studies were not candidates for the imperial court, but were suitable candidates for his consort.
Generally speaking, if you are willing to put effort into the study of objects and your level is among the best, you will probably be more interested in the study of objects and have little interest in being an official. This is another condition for being a prince consort.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen saw his daughter's face in his mind, pitifully waiting for his answer, and even quoted Liu Weichao's statement.
It’s true that it’s not easy to give birth to a daughter!
Thinking like this, when he came back to his senses, he saw Concubine Tian staring at him. Although Concubine Tian had said that she had scolded her just now, looking at Concubine Tian's eyes at this time, it was clear that she was also expecting her to agree.
Woolen cloth!
Understanding this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "Forget it, it's hard for you to beat around the bush. If she wants to participate, then go ahead and find a husband, but her identity cannot be exposed. I will still have to take a look later, if I
If you’re not satisfied, that’s not okay!”
Hearing this, Concubine Tian couldn't help laughing and said, "I knew that Your Majesty loves her the most!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a while after hearing this.
The reason why he agreed was that he still felt a little guilty about his daughter. Because he knew from Liu Weichao that in the original history, on the day when the country fell, he ruthlessly killed her with a sword, and ended up cutting off an arm.
If he didn't die, how much punishment would he have to suffer!
Not only that, he also had to experience the pain of subjugation. Under the rule of Jianlu, he was probably miserable every day, so much so that he died of depression at a young age.
In this life, his fate was changed by Liu Weichao. The fate of the entire Ming Dynasty was also changed. The fate of his daughter will also change.
Emperor Chongzhen was already capable at this time. Under Concubine Tian's persuasion, he naturally thought that if he could make his daughter happier, then he would be happier.
Others don't know this, and he won't tell others. Normally, he treats his daughter better. Even though Concubine Tian saw it, she couldn't know the real reason.
At this time, after Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses, he said to Concubine Tian: "Forget about the other princes and princesses, don't join in blindly. If they are capable in the study of objects, they can just get the information from you and continue to learn."
Although he was looking for talents in an eclectic way, for his son and daughter to take exams with ordinary people, the topic was too high, so he was too lazy to think about the consequences and simply rejected it.
It was his eldest daughter who wanted to find a husband, so she had to take part in this special imperial examination for studying geophysics. He just ordered her not to reveal her identity.
Concubine Tian said so much, but she was actually doing Princess Kunxing a favor. The emperor agreed to this, and she stopped fighting for the other princes and princesses.
Otherwise, she knew that Queen Zhou would be unhappy. She was in charge of the harem, and she didn't want to conflict with Queen Zhou.
The reason why she can help Princess Kunxing is actually simple. Not only do the two of them have a good relationship, but also because she is the one who is most influenced by the values of later generations!
Not long after Emperor Chongzhen stayed with Concubine Tian, the palace maids copied the information on the cell phone about the signal tower and the situation in Japan.
Therefore, he didn't wait much longer and sent an order to Song Yingxing, the chief minister of science and technology, to pay an audience.
