Chapter 68 Gao Gong's Selfless Heart
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong, his eyes extremely calm, and he said calmly: "I think that not only this child should be executed, but his parents will also be unable to escape the blame! "
"The ancients said: It is the fault of the father if the son does not teach. Since the child is capable of killing, it means that his parents failed to fulfill their responsibilities of discipline and restraint when educating their children, which caused this child to become like this. Big mistake."
"If the parents cannot be held responsible for not educating the child, it is not a fundamental solution to treat the child alone. Therefore, I believe that the child should be executed, and his parents must also be held guilty. ! And use this as a case to be reported to the world. If there are any more serious cases of children in the future, it should be taken as an example, and the parents will be punished for not educating them."
"Any parents who do this will be punished. Those who give birth to children must be taught virtues and restrain their nature so that they will not become lawless and regard human life as nothing.”
After Zhu Zaijing said these words calmly, Gao Gong suddenly felt a cold chill.
Of course, this cold chill is not because Zhu Zaijing is indifferent, but because Zhu Zaijing's words are so impactful.
When most people see the facts of this case, they either focus on the evil of the child himself, or they focus on the child's age.
This is used to discuss whether children should be killed for their crimes.
But Zhu Zaijing not only made it clear that the child should be killed, but also wanted to hold his parents accountable for not educating him.
This really surprised Gao Gong.
Gao Gong felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around.
Gao Gong was stunned for a while and said: "Isn't this a consecutive punishment? The country treats filial piety and benevolence, and it is not in line with filial piety to sin against the father with the son. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "No, these crimes cannot be explained by filial piety and benevolence alone. The purpose of the imperial court establishing laws and regulations is to make the world peaceful and the people good. This is a truth recognized by the ancients. Why has it come to me? Is the dynasty treacherous? It is the father’s fault that the son does not teach. This is a truth known to all scholars in the world. "Since it is the principle of shared governance, how can I ignore it?" , and will not change this idea. If such a murder happens in the future, I will definitely take this to His Majesty and set an example for the world to punish parents who refuse to teach!”
Zhu Zaijing's words shocked Gao Gong's heart again.
No matter what he said, at least from these words, Gao Gong also saw Zhu Zaijing's heart of responsibility.
You must know that with Zhu Zaijing's current status, he is very likely to inherit the throne.
A prince who can inherit the throne and has such a heart that dares to take responsibility, isn't this a blessing for the people of the world?
Gao Gong bowed deeply to Zhu Zaijing and said, "Your Majesty's heart is something I admire greatly."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong, who was bowing to him, and immediately stopped his momentum. He quickly came over to help Gao Gong up, and said with a smile: "Sir, what are you doing? The students' moral responsibility depends entirely on the teacher's teachings. If there is no teacher, How can a student have such a heart when he teaches students clearly and rationally?”
Zhu Zaijing held Gao Gong’s arm with extremely clear eyes. He really regarded Gao Gong as one of his own. My own mentor.
I don’t look down on the high arch just because I am a time traveler.
Zhu Zaijing is still very aware of Gao Gong's selfless heart towards him. For a gentleman who is so sincere and loyal to him, and who has the talent to save the country and reform the country, how can Zhu Zaijing not treat Gao Gong sincerely? Gong’s teacher?
Gao Gong was so moved that tears could not help but roll in his eyes.
Gao Gong has had no heirs since he started his family, and now that he is almost forty, he will probably not have any more heirs in this life.
So when he was ordered to teach Zhu Zaijing, he really wanted to give his heart to Zhu Zaijing.
Now seeing that Zhu Zaijing respected and loved him so much, how could Gao Gong not be moved?
Gao Gong said: "I will protect the prince with my life in this life!" After hearing these words, Zhu Zaijing was extremely moved.
Others may say this just as lip service, but Gao Gong definitely is not.
Zhu Zaijing supported the high-arched arm and said seriously: "The teacher's heart will be deeply felt by the students. If you are lucky in this life, the student will live up to the teacher's ambition and help him to show the ravines in his chest. , Let’s bring prosperity to the Ming Dynasty again!”
Gao Gong never expected that he would hold such a heavy weight in Zhu Zaijing’s heart.
Zhu Zaijing actually gave such a heavy promise. Faced with such a favor, Gao Gong was willing to take the lead for Zhu Zaijing, even if there were swords and mountains of fire in the future.
Gao Gong bowed again and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness."
Zhu Zaijing raised his head, relaxed his mood, and continued to smile: "Oh, the student is talking nonsense again, sir, don't take it too seriously. The student is just an idle prince now, how can he dare to make a promise to the sir? Let's just have a good class. .”
Zhu Zaijing laughed and returned to his position.
At this time, Gao Gong also quickly collected his emotions.
Think again about the words between you and Prince Yu just now, although they were very affectionate.
But it is still a taboo and disrespectful statement.
How could a foreign minister who was teaching dare to induce the prince to make such a heavy promise?
If this was heard by someone with intentions and reached the ears of Emperor Jiajing, it would be a crime of beheading in a matter of minutes.
And it will also implicate King Yu, which is not what Gao Gong wants to see.
Gao Gong also quickly replied: "I have lost my temper. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hands indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is just the relationship between students and teachers. It’s just some jokes. Sir, let’s continue telling the students the story of Ada.”
"I just gave a rough outline last time. This time, sir, I have to explain to the students what Ada is doing recently. With such a restless neighbor just around the corner in the northern grassland, the students can't sleep well just thinking about it."< br>
Hearing that Zhu Zaijing wanted to listen to Ada's story again, Gao Gong suddenly became energetic.
Recently, An Da is indeed a little restless. He has been harassing the front line of Xuanda University. He seems to be going south at any time, which also makes the court think a lot, but there is nothing he can do.
Who makes people come and go like the wind? Even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to chase them and have a decisive battle with them, they would not be able to catch up.
And if you really pursue them, you might fall into An Da's trap, leaving the army hanging alone and becoming someone else's meal, repeating the changes in the Tumu Fort.
The biggest reason why Tumubao suffered such a humiliating defeat back then was that the imperial army failed to seize the main force of Oara after leaving the fortress, resulting in a strategic defeat.
When we finally retreated, we were stranded and out of horses. We were also dragged into a ditch by this piece of shit Wang Zhen. He insisted on going to his hometown to show off. As a result, he missed the best opportunity to retreat and was beaten by Wala. The army served a pot.
It is difficult to find such a shameful war even if you look at the history books. So since then, the Ming Dynasty's war on the northern grasslands has begun to transform from offensive to defensive. The bitterness of this is really unspeakable.
