Chapter 209 My great cause for a long time
Gao Gong looked at Zhu Zaijing blankly, feeling a little unfamiliar.
Is this still the humble, sensible, enthusiastic and eager to learn Prince Yu?
Why are you so blatantly trying to take advantage of Yan Maoqing?
Besides, Yan Maoqing doesn’t seem to have offended him?
It's really incredible.
Zhu Zaijing looked up at Gao Gong's astonished eyes again, and explained with a shy smile: "I heard it, just heard it. I heard that His Majesty has appointed Yan Maoqing as the official of the three salt fields. Raising money to expand the outer city of the capital."
"So, I thought that asking for money would offend people, so I went along with it."
"Furthermore, Yanzheng wanted to do it. There must be a breakthrough and a shield for change. Since Yan Maoqing is entrusted with an important task at this time, he must also shoulder the responsibility. This is a fate that he cannot escape, and this king cannot use him. "< br>
"Besides, even if I want to take advantage of it, I am still too willing to do so. After all, I am just an idle king, neither participating in nor discussing politics."
"In the final analysis, it's up to you to decide what to do about this matter. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Zaijing just opened his mouth and brushed off all connections, lest he get angry.
After hearing what Zhu Zaijing said, Gao Gong also bowed immediately, "I understand."
This time it was Zhu Zaijing's turn to be stunned, "Sir, what do you understand?"< br>
Gao Gong replied: "I understand."
Zhu Zaijing was speechless. What on earth did he understand?
But for the sake of face, Zhu Zaijing could not break the casserole and ask the truth. After all, asking too deeply about some things is actually not very good and will only look stupid.
So, sometimes you just have to guess and digest some things by yourself.
This shows how complicated the interpersonal relationships between people are sometimes.
Zhu Zaijing had no choice but to say: "It's good that you understand, sir, but you must not be impulsive."
Gao Gong bowed again with emotion: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I know it well."
After finishing today's class with Gao Gong, Zhu Zaijing finally sent Gao Gong out of the study room where he was teaching.
Before leaving, Zhu Zaijing asked Meng Chong to prepare a cart of silver charcoal and some winter New Year goods for him.
Faced with these gifts from Zhu Zaijing, Gao Gong was not pretentious.
After all, the status and relationship between the two are still there, so what if they give it away in front of everyone?
Couldn't a prince be nicer to his teacher?
So, who dares to say no to this kind of interpersonal gift giving?
And Gao Gong couldn't refuse this gift, he could only accept it. If he didn't accept it, it would make people think more about whether the relationship between him and King Yu was not working.
If once people think that the relationship between him and King Yu is cracked or too dull, then he will most likely be replaced by others or hidden.
So, the gift given by King Yu is a gift that Gao Gong must accept, and he must accept it with peace of mind.
After sending Gao Gong away, Zhu Zaijing returned to the study.
In the study room, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but sigh again: "Meng Chong prepares pen and ink for me. I am going to write a plan."
Meng Chong heard that Zhu Zaijing After Zaijing's instructions, he quickly served with a bunch of pen and ink, folded a piece of rice paper and placed it on Zhu Zaijing's desk, pressing it down with two carved red sandalwood paperweights. Zhu Zaijing dipped his pen and ink, and then began to write: "Several suggestions on the construction of the outer city of the capital."
Meng Chong tilted his head and looked at the vernacular proposal written by Zhu Zaijing, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this plan is very likely to be read by the emperor, you still It is better to write more formally, preferably in parallel prose. This is also the format of a formal memorial. ”
When Zhu Zaijing heard this, he directly replied to Meng Chong.
The official formula for writing memorials in parallel prose is true, but how many people still follow this rule?
The affairs of the imperial court are so complicated and heavy. If they are all written in beautiful parallel prose, how much will it delay things?
So official writing styles like Si Liu parallel prose are generally not used by anyone.
At most, only memorials praising virtues or official canonization can be used.
"Can you write forty-six parallel essays?"
Zhu Zaijing asked a question directly.
Meng Chong's face froze, and he replied awkwardly: "I know a little bit..."
Zhu Zaijing said: "If you know a little bit, what can you say...? You know that I How long and important does the king want to write? Can he write it clearly in four or six parallel prose? "
"And if the ministers are not sending greetings and birthdays to His Majesty, they are also writing. How many people specialize in writing memorials and stories in parallel prose? ”
"Forty-six parallel prose is outdated. It is just a vase that has been shelved on the shelf. Except for the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which liked to use it very much, which of the remaining dynasties really took it seriously?"
"Stand aside first, don't block the light and disturb my thoughts."
Meng Chong, who was scolded by Zhu Zaijing, stood aside in shame. He really regretted his mouth. So mean?
Why do you have to be clever at this time?
Besides, my own prince has been pulled by Eunuch Huang to write such suggestions several times without any problems. Why is he so confused?
Meng Chong was very upset.
Of course Meng Chong also knew that his prince did not really mean to reprimand him, he just said a few words to him.
Furthermore, Meng Chong has been with Zhu Zaijing for so long, and he still knows Zhu Zaijing's character very well.
If Zhu Zaijing really hates someone, he will never say anything nonsense and can kill the person with just one look.
So, even after being scolded by Zhu Zaijing at this moment, Meng Chong felt warmly moved in his heart.
This shows that Zhu Zaijing trusts him very much. With such trust from his master, how can Meng Chong not be happy and moved?
The suggestion written by Zhu Zaijing is actually very interesting. He did not write any specific suggestions on how to build the outer city of the capital.
On the contrary, the whole article is about how to build a magnificent city that can embody the atmosphere of tomorrow's dynasty!
In Zhu Zaijing's suggestion, he extended the function of the outer city of the capital from a single defense and expansion of residence for ordinary people to a great power.
Anyway, in this proposal he wrote, the construction of the outer city of the capital cannot be a simple defensive city with four walls and a few gates, and a general city with several areas set aside for ordinary people to live in groups. .
In his suggestion, the outer city of the capital has become a face issue for the Ming Dynasty. If you want to build it, build it as best as possible!
So when Zhu Zaijing finished writing this proposal and sent it to Huang Jin, Huang Jin took it to Emperor Jiajing to take a look. Emperor Jiajing also laughed immediately, but then Emperor Jiajing also became serious. got up.
"San'er is right. The construction of the outer city of the capital cannot be hasty. It is not just a matter of a few walls and doors. It is the face of my Ming Dynasty and a part of my great cause for thousands of years!" It’s time to plan carefully and make careful calculations, not just casually.”
