Chapter 18 A strong team
The prince could not say anything. Officials who were very dissatisfied with this matter had no choice but to vent their dissatisfaction on Li Xunhuan and Li Xunhuan.
The lucky ones have all been added to them.
It seems that there is an invisible force that wants to stain the reputation of the two of them as bad as possible.
However, the issue of sentence reading was still implemented despite this kind of criticism.
There are many reasons, one of which is that the prince insists on reading the Four Books You Ju Read.
The cabinet also asked the Hanlin Academy to take action and read the four books according to the "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books".
East Palace.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know about the criticism of Wang Shouren and others from the outside world. He was very happy anyway.
Because his father praised him so much.
I have accomplished another great thing.
He is indeed born to do great things. He is really amazing.
In the past two days, when he walked, he held his head higher.
Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan also looked as if nothing had happened and continued to come to the East Palace every day. Even Liu Jin and the others were a little impressed.
In the past two days, the Four Books have not been marked for reading, so Wang Shouren and others did not give lectures to Zhu Houzhao.
On the third day, the annotated Analects of Confucius was delivered to the East Palace.
Zhu Houzhao pouted his face and soon fell asleep again.
After being sober for a while, out of boredom, I started practicing Myojin Martial Arts again.
In just two days, Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan were helpless.
The prince cannot learn at all.
But they couldn't teach strictly yet, and the prince didn't accept that approach at all.
They have learned a lot about the prince's character, and if they dare to be strict, the connection they have finally established with the prince will be broken.
The prince would probably kick them out of the East Palace directly.
"Brother, what should we do?" Li Xunhuan asked with a headache.
"I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Prince of the Fourth Book is really incapable of learning now, so let's teach him history." Wang Shouren said in a firm and decisive tone.
"Historical Records! Let's not talk about whether His Highness the Crown Prince can learn to enter Historical Records?
His Majesty and the court should not agree." Li Xunhuan frowned.
"Your Majesty and the court may not agree. If anyone has a way to make His Highness study, you can let him say it and try.
If there is no way, then listen to us, Let’s talk about historical records first.
As for His Royal Highness, he would definitely be impatient with boring history books, but what about telling stories?
Your Highness, I like the excitement the most. "Wang Shouren smiled confidently.
Li Xunhuan pondered.
Then, the cabinet and officials argued for two days and agreed to tell the prince about historical records first.
This One day, Wang Shouren, who was specially prepared, told the story in the East Palace
"Taizu was once a beggar! From a beggar to an emperor, it's amazing.
This prince must be more powerful than Taizu. "
"Giggle, Taizu loves the queen alone, just like my father. Hum, how can a man love a woman alone? Not domineering at all. ”
····
From then on, Zhu Houzhao’s interested laughter and words that could be called treason were heard from time to time in the East Palace.
But it took a long time , Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan were both accustomed to the prince's shocking words.
Slowly, they got to know the prince better.
For more than a month after that, Zhu Houzhao listened to stories for about an hour every day. He felt that Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan were very good at telling stories.
The stories told are interesting and nice to listen to.
Wang Shouren and his wife wanted to tell a longer story, but if it lasted longer, the prince would become a little tired.
I also need to practice martial arts.
So silently, the two of them turned the three hours of study time into one hour.
As for the opinions in the court, the two of them already have a way to deal with it.
If you have a way, come and do it!
May 2, the 10th year of Hongzhi.
East Palace, on this day, Zhu Houzhao looked at the two young men in front of him who were two heads taller than him. He looked at them curiously and asked, "What are your names?"
"Yan Nantian." Although he is a young man, he is already tall and tall, exuding a heroic spirit and an iron-blooded spirit.
"Chen, Zhao Zheng." The other young man was much more handsome, with a majestic appearance and a sense of righteousness in his brows.
"Yan Nantian, this name is quite domineering.
Zhao Zheng, not domineering at all." Zhu Houzhao pondered.
The two young men said nothing, but their faces were calm, and they were also looking at the little prince who was rumored to be arrogant, domineering and mischievous.
"My father asked you to study with me. What are your abilities? Can you study with me?" Zhu Houzhao said arrogantly.
“What do you want to see from us, the prince?” Yan Nantian said boldly without fear.
Zhao Zheng on the other side was much more respectful. He saluted with both hands and said, "I am willing to accept His Highness's assessment."
"Okay, let's fight with this prince." Zhu Houzhao immediately said excitedly, He clenched his little fist.
Yan Nantian raised his eyebrows. Although he hesitated, he did not refuse.
And Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice: "I dare not fight with His Highness."
"Hmph, if I say you want to fight, I will fight." Zhu Houzhao said domineeringly and unreasonably, and punched him. Got out.
The extremely domineering Mingshen Qi pressed down on the two young men through the air.
Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng's breath froze. They did not dare to underestimate His Highness's strength, and they were even more shocked.
How innate! The two of them clenched their fists and faced him head-on with dignity and force.
One person pointed his sword at both hands, facing cautiously.
"Boom!!"
With two roars, Yan Nantian and the two took a few steps back.
Zhu Houzhao became more interested, waved his two small fists, and rushed forward.
A series of collisions suddenly sounded in the hall.
Facing Zhu Houzhao's fist with Mingshen Qi, Yan Nantiansi showed no fear and punched him head-on.
After each punch, Yan Nantian's body was shaken, but his expression did not change at all, as if he had been hardened and fortified. No pain or pressure in the world could make him frown.
But Zhao Zheng did not dare to take action against Zhu Houzhao, so he could only stay by Yan Nantian's side, helping Yan Nantian catch a small fist from time to time.
Every time he answered, his face would turn pale, but he had no intention of retreating, with the same perseverance in his eyes.
Next to them, Liu Jin, Er Cao, Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan were all watching.
“At the age of thirteen or fourteen, I have clearly understood the will of martial arts. It won’t take long, when my internal strength is perfected, I will be able to break through to the innate realm.
What two young martial arts geniuses!” Li Xunhuan opened his mouth and praised.
"Brother Li, you are not bad at them either." Wang Shouren looked at Li Xunhuan and said with a smile.
Li Xunhuan smiled modestly and said nothing.
It's obviously the default.
Wang Shouren looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace and understood clearly.
His Majesty knows the martial arts talent and character of His Royal Highness best. He will definitely not be a calm and conservative king in the future.
So we have begun to train a team for His Royal Highness.
For more than a month, he has been intensively improving his knowledge on martial arts.
Not to mention Liu Jin and the others, the two young men in front of them are definitely the top martial arts talents in the world.
With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to produce such a young man.
It is one thing that there are few people with such talent and they are of the right age.
The other thing is that you must know your roots and your identity must be pure and reliable before you can grow up with His Highness the Crown Prince and become one of the core team members in the future.
This young man from Zhao Zheng calls himself a minister. With his age and appearance, he should be from the hereditary Jin Yiwei.
At his age, Yan Nantian has such a heroic and iron-blooded aura, and he is calm and calm when facing the prince. He either comes from the military or the martial arts, and more likely from the martial arts.
They should be just the beginning.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a large number of strong, loyal and reliable team members, both in terms of nobles and officials.
Xunhuan and I should have been temporarily included in His Majesty’s team.
Wang Shouren's thoughts flickered, and his eyes were fixed secretly.
not enough.
To completely change the Ming Dynasty, His Highness needs a team as strong as possible.
Maybe I should make preparations now to accept a few disciples.
You have to look for more like-minded people in the court and among the scholars who have not yet reached high school.
Well, I should also talk to Brother Li.
With Brother Li's character and martial arts prowess, he should have some friends in the martial arts world, and it's always right to draw in more power.
While Zhu Houzhao was fighting happily, Qianqing was in the palace.
"Nan Tian, a child who has grown up in the world for a long time, may be disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince." The middle-aged figure, still covered in black robe, said to Zhu Youtang, slightly worried.
"Haha, we are all a family, and there are not so many things to pay attention to.
Besides, although the prince is a bit naughty, he has a pure and kind heart and will not embarrass the child Nantian." Zhu Youtang smiled gently.
The middle-aged figure didn't say much in this regard, just mentioning it was enough.
The topic changed: "Among this generation, Nantian and Yujing are the strongest, and Zaoer is weaker.
Nantian has the strongest temperament, and he is not suitable for being too strong and easily broken. In the martial arts world.
So, I selected Nantian from among the three to accompany the prince to grow up.
In the future, Nantian can go to either the Jinyi Guards or the army. "
"Yes." Zhu Youtang listened carefully and said, "In the future, when the prince is older, we will ask Yujing and Zaoer to come to Beijing for a period of time so that they can have more contact."
" I understand." The middle-aged figure responded.
After a pause, he looked a little colder and said: "There have been a lot more spies sent from various countries. As expected, they are all here for the prince."
"We also found some from Jinyiwei." Zhu Youtang nodded and snorted: "Find them all and don't let anyone go."
"I understand." The middle-aged figure said firmly. .
After pondering, he continued: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not just the countries that don't want our Ming Dynasty to have another emperor who has practiced Mingshen martial arts. There are also many people in the Ming Dynasty."
"Brother, you mean they will join forces? "Zhu Youtang frowned.
"There are always some people who are bold and there is nothing they dare not do." The middle-aged figure said solemnly.
“No matter who we find, we will never let him go.” Zhu Youtang’s voice contained a rare murderous intent.
"Yes." The middle-aged figure responded.
"I have given orders to the Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Baolong clans to secretly increase their development efforts.
Brother, your side should also be as strong as possible." Zhu Youtang said trustingly.
"I understand."
