Vol 2 Chapter 1144: Son of Heaven
Chapter 1144 Gift from the Son of Heaven
Everyone is talking, everyone is talking about family and country affairs.
But how many people can go to bosom friends?
The huge ills of the country cannot be resolved by one by one high-level talks.
Just like the ills in military affairs, the root cause of the problem is not in an insignificant person like Liu Laoxi.
It is precisely because he is young that he can see the big from the small, solve a problem that Liu Laoxi is worried about, and understand Liu Laoxi's heart, then... thousands of soldiers can have peace of mind, and the soldiers will Follow your orders, where the imperial court points, where the sun, the moon, and the banners go, the world is invincible, and the land of the four seas is invincible.
The people of the tiger, how can they be boastful, relying on a few inspiring words, saying a few words about the country and the world, and saying a few words about making contributions, can make people ignore the most precious life; When Liu Laoxi was turned into a string of numbers in the military books, the military administration of Ming Dynasty had already rotted. This kind of rot first erodes the skin, then the flesh and blood, and finally rots to the bone. Once something happens, When someone stepped in and destroyed it, the seemingly millions of numbers collapsed.
Liu Jian looked at Zhu Zaimo deeply with tears in his eyes.
It's hard, it's too difficult to be in charge.
I don’t have any high opinions, I’m trapped in the cabinet, I want to do things, I’m stuck everywhere, I think I’ve found the root of the problem, but in fact, I’m not as good as a child.
This is the truth.
Emperor Hongzhi stroked his beard, he lowered his eyebrows, and then stared at Zhu Zaimo.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Because of this, the soldiers are willing to serve their lives regardless of their own lives?"
"Yes." Zhu Zaimo said: "Everyone has weaknesses, people are greedy for life and afraid of death, Sun Chen is afraid of death, and His Majesty is also shot dead, he is a mentor..."
Fang Jifan said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "As a teacher, you are not afraid of death. If you die for the country and the people, you are not afraid of being a teacher."
Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways at Fang Jifan, and wrote lightly: "Oh, come, take Duke Qi out and behead him."
Fang Jifan was taken aback for a moment, peeing in fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, my son..."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "So don't raise an argument, and listen to Zai Mo."
"Oh." Fang Jifan was honest all of a sudden, after all, he is a teacher of all ages, but... His Majesty seems to be not playing cards according to the routine recently, which is very worrying.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Zaimo kindly: "Go on,"
Zhu Zaimo said: "Everyone is shot to death. If you want to inspire courage, you will understand them and treat people like Liu Laoxi as human beings. Only in this way can you know your own weaknesses. Your Majesty, treat them as human beings." Generals, when they know their own weaknesses, they will be invincible, this is the principle that my mentor passed on to Sun Chen through Liu Laoxi, this principle will benefit Sun Chen forever."
Emperor Hongzhi let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the young man in front of him, smart, strong, polite, and extraordinary in manner, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "I... have no entrustment to others, and the tuition fees of thousands of taels a year are not in vain."
Seeing Fang Jifan hesitated to speak, Emperor Hongzhi said, "What do you want to say?"
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, it is obviously nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, and your majesty even discounted it."
Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Fortunately, you are still talking about it. What about the book fee? What about the pen and ink fee? What about the extracurricular fee? What about the construction fee for the nursery school?"
Fang Jifan was at a loss for words. Isn't that the case in all high-end universities?
Emperor Hongzhi's face softened: "Zhen... With such a grandson, I will have no regrets in this life. This time, Zaimo is indeed an adventure, but if this adventure can be exchanged for such insight, it can make him understand what is Army spirit, how to guide these army spirits, then, even if it is exchanged for anything, it is worth it."
Emperor Hongzhi paused, his eyes full of hope, there are successors.
Compared with the prince who only wants to show off his power, the emperor's grandson may not be as good as his father in riding and shooting, and may never have the feat of the prince sweeping the desert, but...my grandson learned to observe and summarize the laws of war , this...is the most precious.
Emperor Hongzhi felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and then he said: "I have read an article in a search publication, saying that since ancient times, even in the Li Dynasty, I have been in the Kingdom of Heaven, and countless skilled craftsmen have produced exquisite utensils. Numerous wooden and earthen buildings and machines are all ingenious, but people know them but don't know why. What does this mean? It means that people know how to make them, but they don't know the principles contained in them. We Everyone knows that waterwheels are made, but they don’t know why water is powerful, where does this power come from, and how much is its power? To search for journals is to know why and why. To explore the most original source in this world Only when these principles are understood, then... in this world, there will be no lost skills, and on this basis, future generations can continue to study, explore, and create all things. This paper, Jifan, Do you remember?"
Fang Jifan nodded: "Knowing what it is and knowing why it is, is the slogan of searching for journals, observing everything, exploring everything, and making everything work for me. Unexpectedly, His Majesty has read these articles, and His Majesty is so perceptive in his daily affairs. This makes my son feel extremely ashamed, if my son is as diligent as His Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, don't ramble so much. I mentioned this because Zai Mo did get your true biography, and with this military and political way, the crown prince knows it, but my grandson, but He knows why. One just relies on his talent and his own interests to sweep across the desert. He can be regarded as a generation of famous generals. But my grandson has understood the fundamental principles of military strategists. This is... the most rare thing Ah. Jifan, you teach well."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I am ashamed."
Emperor Hongzhi thought of something, and said, "Come, get the pen and ink."
After hearing this, the eunuchs didn't dare to hesitate. They took the pen and ink. Emperor Hongzhi walked to the case, pondered for a while, picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, and tapped the tip of the pen on the white paper. After a while, the pen went away. A running script has been completed.
Everyone looked at it, but they saw the word "Teacher of All Ages".
Liu Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi only raised his eyelids lightly, and said lightly: "I am the Son of Heaven, can't I do whatever I want? I also think that Fang Jifan is a good teacher, and I am very open-minded. If anyone is not convinced, why not?" , just use the truth as the emperor's grandson said, to convince me. If they want to play, they can come and scold me. I am open to words. This calligraphy is given to Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan, you take it home, frame it, and hang it in your hall."
Fang Jifan's eyes straightened.
Your Majesty will be scolded for writing the book himself, right?
However, Your Majesty is not afraid of being scolded. What are we, Fang Jifan, afraid of? If people don't scold me, I'm not happy, so I accept it.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, can you get a big seal?"
Buy it and leave it, if you don’t stamp it, it’s easy to go back on your word.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, "Take the seal."
The seal was stamped on it, and suddenly, the whole word seemed to have a soul, and it was actually shining brightly.
Liu Jian shook his head inwardly, and sighed. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he would be scolded for watching His Majesty do such a thing.
But Emperor Hongzhi seemed very interested, and put his hands behind his back: "The weather in Datong and the capital is actually similar, but it's my first time here, and it's quite lively here. This place is one of the nine sides of my Ming Dynasty, and it's the capital city." The gate of Datong, inside and outside the city of Datong, I don’t know how many loyal soldiers are buried here, Liu Qing’s family, go and prepare, prepare a clothes tomb, and I will personally go to pay homage to the souls of the soldiers.”
Liu Jian said: "Old minister...obey the order."
Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "Honorous photo."
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "My son is here."
"Datong, you must be very familiar with it, why, don't take me for a walk, take a look."
Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "I'm not familiar with you."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, his son, how could he not understand, this guy is so active, two days of work is enough for him to jump up and down like a monkey in the streets of Datong.
…
Fang Jifan got the calligraphy happily. This is a treasure, bestowed by the emperor, and it has a completely different meaning from the joint praise of the students.
I have finally been recognized for my blood and sweat over the years, which made Fang Jifan feel a little relieved.
He did not accompany him, but went out with His Majesty. Instead, he found a craftsman in Datong overnight, made a huge plaque, and framed this picture.
Then, I hung it in my temporary bedroom and looked at it. Sure enough, the effect is extraordinary and very eye-catching, but this thing is obviously not hung in the bedroom, it is not hung in the most conspicuous place, for example, Xishan Academy, Do I have to follow the example of Confucius and set up a statue? Will this make me appear unreserved?
…
Emperor Hongzhi stood on the closed wall of Datong City. It was cold and windy here, but his vision was particularly wide. Although he was wearing a commoner coat, he still had an extraordinary bearing.
Emperor Hongzhi saw that there were tents outside the city, and the tents were connected into one piece. It seemed that there was a lot of people's voices there.
Emperor Hongzhi looked back: "Prince..."
"Ah." Zhu Houzhao was thinking about something.
Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the tent outside the city: "Where is that?"
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Father, there...is the residence of herdsmen, and most of them are Tatars."
"Tatars..."
