As soon as Li Ling came to the capital to attend the invitation banquet at the Jiaofangsi, a eunuch from the palace came to convey the emperor's will, saying that the two teachers of the prince would teach in the East Palace tomorrow and asked him to be present.︾

Although the emperor used to attach importance to the prince's studies, he had not yet made a special trip to let the eunuchs in the palace come and spread it.

It seems that the content of the two bachelors is extraordinary.

During the fifth anniversary, Li Ling got up early, and all officials arrived at the East Palace during the morning court.

Li Ling is just a new Hanlin. He would not be allowed to attend the morning court without the emperor's biography. But this is fine, he doesn't want to work hard every day.

He waited for two hours in the prince's study. Fortunately, the prince was quite considerate of his companionship, so he sent someone a copy of breakfast during this period.

What is different from usual is that this time the two teachers came together, and even the emperor entered the study.

At the emperor's instructions, Wang Hua slowly walked to the front of the desk and said, "The chapter on "Li Zheng" is one of the twenty-eight chapters of "Jinwen Shangshu". According to records, it was written by Duke Zhou to warn King Cheng of Zhou when he returned to Zheng Zheng to govern the country. Today we will learn this article!"

In the "List of Political Affairs" chapter, the core idea of ​​state management proposed by the Xia and Shang Dynasty when the lessons of the fall of the country was to value virtue and be cautious in punishment. In the article, Duke Zhou once repeatedly warned King Cheng of Zhou: The lesson of the fall of Xia Jie in the country was to not be done before, but only vicious. The lesson of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was to be shameful and punished and vicious, and to be the same as his country, and only those who practice ethical virtue were to be the same as his politics.

Therefore, Zhou Gong warned King Cheng of Zhou to continue the current government and not to use others as auspicious people, and to use them to encourage our country.

From Duke Zhou’s earnest warnings, we can see that he always regards the moral standards of empowering the people and strictly enforcing the state officials as the foundation for governing the country, and opposes the general use of criminal law.

This proposition of valuing virtue and prudence can be said to be the national management idea followed by governments in later dynasties in China, and it is also the origin of Confucianism's idea of ​​both etiquette and law.

The emperor made great efforts to ask two bachelors to tell this article for the prince in the East Palace. The meaning was self-evident. This was the emperor who really wanted to be the crown prince and began to train the prince to handle state affairs.

Confucius asked to govern with virtue. He said: Taoism is used to govern with punishment, and the people are exempted from it and are ashamed. Taoism is used to govern with virtue and rituals, and there is shame and stance. If the rituals and music are not stirred, then the punishment will not be defeated. If the punishment is not defeated, there will be no way to deal with it.

Mencius continued to move forward along this idea and emphasized the importance of ritual governance, and then put forward the idea of ​​enforcing benevolent government for the people.

He said: Reduce punishments, reduce taxes and reduce taxes, and make it easy to cultivate; strong people use holidays to stop being filial, brotherly, loyal and trustworthy, and serve their fathers and brothers, and serve them in order to serve them, so that they can be used to control the robbery to defeat the sharp armored and sharp soldiers of Chu!

Wang Hua is worthy of being a Grand Secretary. He has been studying in the field of literature for decades. He quotes classics and explains an article in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Even the emperor was attracted by his views.

After Mr. Wang understood the general meaning of this article, he would then explain the pros and cons of various ideas on governing the country based on his practical experience.

Judging from the actual development of national management ideas in previous dynasties, the idea of ​​etiquette and rule both law is basically adopted.

That is, since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties used the Confucian "Six Classics" as the basis for legislation, which led to the fact that all dynasties could only form a country that governed both rituals and laws, but could not become a country with pure legal system.

"In the Ming Dynasty, our country was governed by benevolence and filial piety. As an emperor, we only need to be based on our merits and have a clear conscience in doing things. As long as we are diligent in political affairs and listen to the opinions of wise ministers, the Ming Dynasty will surely be prosperous and safe in the people and the national strength will flourish!"

The emperor also participated in expressing his own opinions. It would not work if the pure rule of law or the saint's idea of ​​moral governance was done.

After so many years of implementation of the dynasty, a complete set of methods of governing the country was naturally derived. As long as we continue to follow the path of our predecessors, it is naturally not difficult to be an emperor.

"Yes, my son remembers the lessons of his father!" The prince whispered.

The emperor said so clearly that he naturally knew what it contained.

A while ago, Zheng Wang's case was in full swing, and the prince also learned some clues from the quarrel between the emperor and the queen.

He once thought that he was not the queen or even the emperor's biological child.

But now it seems that he is too worried. If he is not the emperor's biological child, why would the emperor still be thinking about him when he is seriously ill? Why should he pass on thousands of miles of country to him?

The prince's tears flowed down as he listened to the two teachers explaining the article.

Once the knot in his heart is opened, the prince will decide to work hard in the future.

The Zheng Wang Yaoyan case in history has been making trouble again and again, and it was not until the early years of Zhengde that the victim was sentenced to death.

Emperor Zhengde was repeatedly stimulated. He only trusted a few eunuchs around him who had grown up with him, and indulged in the mountains and rivers and beautiful women.

From this we can see that he has always suspected that his emperor's origin was not right, and he even died without even a descendant, so that the Xiaozong lineage was extinct from it, which is a great regret.

After so many things, the prince was clearly confirmed to his status, and everyone gave up their worries. The emperor was still the same as before.

Liu Jin stood in front of Li Ling, and at this time he also let out a long sigh. The prince's position was the most powerful benefit of them.

These eunuchs who serve the prince were already connected with the prince's fate when they entered the Eastern Palace. If Zhu Houzhao had made mistakes, their future would be even more confused.

The article "Li Zheng" is not very long. The two teachers quickly finished what they were going to say. They both wanted to say goodbye.

The reason why the emperor was so solemnly that someone told the prince about this article was nothing more than an attitude. Now that the purpose is achieved, he naturally would not prevent the two bachelors from leaving.

But just when Li Ling wanted to leave with the two bachelors, the queen came uninvited!

"The emperor is in great prosperity for thousands of years, so why should he teach these great principles of governing the country so anxiously? It is better to teach it slowly!" After entering the study, the queen ignored the two bachelors and directly spoke to the emperor.

Since Zheng Wang was executed by the emperor, the queen has become suspicious.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace can no longer flatter her, and the queen feels that she has been neglected. She even suspects that many people in the palace are not the prince's biological mother.

She is no longer the good wife and mother she used to be.

The emperor no longer favored her as much as she used to, and she could not treat the prince like she did with her own son.

Once a person's mentality changes, her behavior becomes unreasonable.

Although the last time the support of the vassal king was not successful, she saw another hope. She was not the only choice. If it was really the day of the emperor's ceremony, as the queen, she would be the person with the most choice.

After figuring this out, her attitude towards the prince began to be cold.

The prince felt that the queen mother she saw this time was a little unfamiliar, and he was even a little afraid of the other party.

The queen's words made him feel heartbroken. Is this going to provoke his position as a prince?

The queen has managed the palace for many years, so she naturally has a sense of majesty. Now that she says such words, the prince and Liu Jin dare not say much.

"The character of a person is the most wonderful. It often takes three years to learn well, and only three days to learn bad things is enough! The prince is the crown prince of the country, so he naturally needs to educate him earlier to avoid delaying the best time. It is nothing to have a bad character. The most important thing is not to be a sweet-mouthed villain!" Li Ling suddenly said while everyone was silent.

The emperor tolerated the queen for more than ten years, and he would not argue with the queen in family matters.

Li Ling suddenly implied that the queen was meddling in other people's business, which surprised the two cabinet bosses. He was just a free agent in the Hanlin Academy, so what qualifications are there to participate in the royal affairs?

The two old men began to worry for Li Ling, and they turned their eyes to the emperor, hoping that he could help Li Ling.

This kid is insinuated, and she is alluding to her own differences, and the queen hates Li Ling to death.

Just as she was thinking about how to use the power in her hands to eradicate the other party, she suddenly saw the jade piece hanging around his neck.

Legend has it that this jade piece can help the emperor through the divine situation. The last time he was able to help the emperor overcome difficulties was because of this jade piece.

The queen hesitated a little. No matter how powerful the imperial power is, it cannot beat the divine power, especially the people in the capital who witnessed Li Ling's success in asking for the rain.

This impact is huge. Now the people are on Li Ling’s side in everything, and it is difficult to move him.

The queen secretly made up her mind to transfer the other party from the capital.
