Chapter 220 Mr. Zhang’s opinion
Since ancient times, China has been a country of etiquette, so when it comes to the marriage of princes, etiquette is naturally the most important thing and nothing can be done carelessly.
So, even if Zhu Zaijing has chosen a beautiful girl and has learned the driving test guide, it will still take some time before he actually gets married.
So Zhu Zaijing was naturally free during this period.
Of course, given the social environment and social class he lives in, he still enjoys great freedom even if he is married.
Because of today's draft, Zhang Juzheng first congratulated Zhu Zaijing.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty has already been drafted. I believe that in a few days, Your Majesty will crown you with a crown. By then, your Majesty will be considered an adult. I would like to congratulate you here."
Zhu Zaijing looked at the serious Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile: "Thank you sir, I didn't expect it to be so sudden."
Zhang Juzheng said: "The prince, Tianhuang, and the nobles are different from the common people. Ancient rituals There is a saying: King Wen was crowned at the age of twelve, and he was crowned at the age of fifteen. "
"The prince is the son of the emperor, and naturally he is in a higher position than the princes, so he can be crowned early." "Zuo Zhuan" says: 'The crown. And giving birth to a child is also a gift. Now that the prince has been selected, the crown ceremony is naturally on the agenda. ”
When Zhu Zaijing listened to Zhang Juzheng's eloquent quotations from scriptures, he suddenly realized that there was such a saying.
Zhu Zaijing sighed with emotion: "I really lack these etiquette rules. I didn't know there was such a saying."
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself, etiquette Although the way of etiquette is fundamental, for the prince, the way of etiquette is not the foundation, but a tool."
"The prince only needs to make the way of etiquette natural according to his needs."< br>
When Zhu Zaijing heard Zhang Juzheng's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
Sure enough, those who can make the rules can escape from the rules.
Even this ancient etiquette that has been regarded as a standard by all people in the world can be changed as desired as long as the status is high enough and the strength is strong enough, and there will be people who specialize in self-consistency with these principles.
Power and place are so intoxicating!
It is not an exaggeration to say that "whatever you say will follow the law".
After finishing these gossips, Zhu Zaijing also looked at Zhang Juzheng with a smile, "What lessons has Mr. Zhang prepared for today?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed slightly to Zhu Zaijing, and then said: "In the past few times, I have told you about the edicts of the First Emperor and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Today, I will tell you about the edicts of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty."
"Does the prince know that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty What kind of person is he?”
Zhang Juzheng asked the first question in his class.
Zhu Zaijing thought for a while and said, "Emperor Hanwen should be a model of a virtuous king."
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly: "The prince's answer is right. But it is not comprehensive enough. Emperor Wen of Han was a virtuous king. A good example, but his prudence and resourcefulness are also the best.”
"Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the middle son of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and had no chance of becoming emperor. However, due to the Lu family's rebellion, Emperor Wen was fortunate enough to be favored by fate and became the master of the world."
"Emperor Wen was extremely cautious before entering the capital from Dai. Before arriving in Chang'an, Emperor Wen made three concessions before accepting the imperial seal as the Lord of the World. This situation is very similar to that of His Majesty entering the capital from his residence. "" Later Emperor Wen entered the palace. After that, Song Chang was first appointed as General Wei to take charge of the Northern and Southern armies, and Zhang Wu was appointed as Langzhong to ensure that everything was in place." The world thinks that Emperor Wen is wise, but forgets Emperor Wen’s wisdom, which is insufficient.”
“Therefore, before I talk about Emperor Wen’s edict, I must first talk about Emperor Wen’s wisdom. Only in this way can the prince. A glimpse into Emperor Wen’s heart.”
Zhang Juzheng's words made Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but nod his head.
Emperor Hanwen is so tall!
Then Zhang Juzheng said again, "Please read this imperial edict of Emperor Wen:"
Hearing the words, Zhu Zaijing lowered his head and looked:
"In the meantime, Zhu Lu uses his power to do things. He planned to commit great treason and endanger the Liu family's ancestral temple. He was punished by the generals, ministers, princes, and ministers of the clan. When I first came to the throne, he pardoned the world, granted the first rank of civil nobility, and gave women a hundred households of cattle and wine, and they drank wine for five days. .”
After Zhu Zaijing read the edict of Emperor Wen, Zhang Juzheng asked again: "What do you think of Emperor Wen's edict?"
Zhu Zaijing thought for a while, then looked up at Zhang Juzheng. No words were spoken.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng continued to explain: "Your Majesty, please read the first sentence: 'Zhu Lu used his power to do things... The generals, ministers, princes, and clan... all failed him.' This sentence makes it clear. The reason also affirms the achievements of the generals, ministers, and ministers in quelling the chaos. This is what the ancients said is justifiable."
"Then the next sentence is: "When I first came to the throne, I pardoned the world and gave it to the people." The first level of the nobility, the women of a hundred households drink wine, and they stay together for five days. 'This sentence also highlights the authority of Emperor Wen. Only he is qualified to exercise the power of the emperor, grant amnesty to the world, and benevolent to the people."
"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate the kindness of the world, granting first-class rewards to the people. Although these rewards may seem ordinary, they are also the foundation of Emperor Wen's benevolence and virtuousness."
"Without this sentence, Emperor Wen only recognized the merits of the generals, ministers, princes, clans, and ministers, but did not reward the common people. This is not considered virtuous, let alone benevolent."
" Therefore, Emperor Wen's virtuousness and benevolence are engraved in his bones and reflected in his daily actions. Therefore, Emperor Wen is the model for future generations to follow."
Zhang Juzheng explained the edicts of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty from simple to profound. He also used the content of the edict as an example to teach Zhu Zaijing the importance of benevolence and virtue, allowing Zhu Zaijing to understand Emperor Wen's heart more comprehensively.
Zhu Zaijing was also extremely impressed by this. He was indeed Zhang Taiyue, a talented person who managed the world and benefited the people.
It is really amazing that such a simple edict of Emperor Wen can convey so many truths.
After Zhu Zaijing listened to Zhang Juzheng's words, he sighed with emotion and said: "Emperor Hanwen is truly worthy of being an emperor through the ages. Now that I look back on His Majesty's past, I finally see His Majesty's good intentions. It turns out that Your Majesty was also serving as Emperor Wen. "In the past few years, every time there is a disaster in the area, your Majesty will immediately exempt the victims from paying taxes. How lucky is this king to have such a benevolent king?" Fortunately?"
Zhu Zaijing compared Emperor Jiajing to Emperor Wen of Han without hesitation. As soon as he said this, even Zhang Juzheng, who was giving the lecture, was stunned.
He never dreamed that Prince Yu's thinking would jump so much, jumping directly from Emperor Wen to the current His Majesty, and he would also actively affirm the benevolence and virtuousness of the current Majesty.
This is really beyond Zhang Juzheng’s expectation.
After Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted and said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Your Majesty is no less generous than Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty!"
After Zhu Zaijing heard this, he The smile on his face suddenly brightened, "Good regards, Mr. Zhang!"
