Chapter 667: The feeling of virtue is coming to heaven

7days ago Historical fiction 7
The sun has set west, but it is still early.The glazed tiles in the Imperial Concubine Palace and the lacquer paintings in the pavilion and the Taichung are colorful in the sun, and there are flowers, plants, ponds and rockery dotted in it, making the scenery very beautiful.

The imperial concubine Mu Zhen had just been diagnosed and was pregnant; today Zhu Gaoxu was worth early, so she came here to accompany her in the afternoon.

The imperial doctor said that it was only more than one month at most.Mu Zhen said embarrassedly, and she glared at Zhu Gaoxu with a little coquettish look, but there was still a smile on her face.

Zhu Gaoxu was accompanying her on the stone path in the sparse woods, with a team of eunuchs and palace maids behind, ten steps away, holding kettles, cups, fruits and other things.

Just now, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Mu Zhen’s waist many times, but she found it.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I really can't see that some women don't even know themselves when they are one or two months old.

He looked at Mu Zhen's slim waist and looked like she was still slender, and there was no sign at all.

Mu Zhen's cheeks flushed slightly and she nodded.

Her facial features are very delicate and beautiful, and the smile she often wears in front of Zhu Gaoxu is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "You are close to Zhu, and your smile is very contagious, which makes me feel happy."

Mu Zhen looked up at him: The emperor is kind to me and speaks warmly. If I don’t laugh, will I cry?

Hahaha... Zhu Gaoxu laughed heartily.I suddenly felt that the weather was really good today, and Mu Zhen was still the same as before, a little playful from time to time.

Mu Zhen said again: It seems that God has agreed to the emperor's use of troops to the outside world, and he also sensed that the emperor sent troops to consider the people of the world.

Zhu Gaoxu said: How can I see it?

Mu Zhen smiled and said: Before the emperor had his eldest son Zhanhe, he sent troops to Meng Yangsi to conquer Si.Now that I am about to fight north of Mongolia, I am pregnant again as the emperor.Isn't this a good sign?

Oh!Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed briefly.

He obviously did not believe in this. If this statement is put in later generations, it must be said to be feudal superstitious!

However, it is the Ming Dynasty after all, and Mu Zhen’s statement is nothing wrong; not to mention that she is speaking auspicious words, and she uses this to bless Zhu Gaoxu on the eve of the Northern Expedition!

What can Zhu Gaoxu say?

If you don’t agree with this statement, you can only smile.

Mu Zhen seemed very understanding and immediately felt Zhu Gaoxu's disapproval. She whispered: Dong Zhongshu said, 'The relationship between heaven and man is united into one', and Cheng Hao said, 'The heaven and man are originally indifferent, there is no need to be united', isn't this the response of heaven and man?

In the fifth year of Yongle, the deposed prince planned to kill his father and lost his virtue in the world, and an earthquake occurred in the capital. Now the benevolent emperor is in the country, and the heaven will bring good omen.God has sensed the virtues of the Lord.

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to respond: Then I have to work hard to continue to satisfy God.

Mu Zhen said: As early as in Yunnan, I heard what the Lord said, believing that the Lord is a wise ruler who can bless all the people.

Which time?I've said too much.Zhu Gaoxu reached out and put his hand on his forehead, laughed and said, "After he was crying," he said.

Mu Zhen said softly: It was not long before the expedition to Annan Kingdom, in the Liyuan.The Lord can't remember it, but I was moved and admired you for a long time.

Some impression.Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, King Qianning (Mu Ying) started his career with military merits, and Duke Qian was also a noble general, but Zhen'er seemed to have read a lot of books.

Mu Zhen said: My father also loves reading.

I see.Zhu Gaoxu nodded and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.He remembered Mu Sheng's aristocratic style and his ability to lead troops to a certain extent.

Mu Zhen's remarks made Zhu Gaoxu realize again: among the ruling class and even a little knowledgeable group of the Ming Dynasty, Confucian Neo-Confucianism has a very strong position in the philosophical worldview, and people's thoughts are relatively unified.

The ruler is not ignorant, because no one in the world knows that the earth is round and common sense like this!

On the contrary, scholars assumed the basis of a worldview and were able to construct a very complete and rigorous philosophical system on it, which was not the result of wisdom.

When it comes to such in-depth topics, Zhu Gaoxu has no way to convince Mu Zhen and he doesn't agree with her, so he begins to consciously distract the topic.

He remembered something that made Mu Zhen feel even stronger, so he turned his head to take a look at the scene behind him.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all ten steps away and were far away.Zhu Gaoxu whispered: That time in Liyuan, I looked at your body, it was not intentional.

Sure enough, Mu Zhen's face suddenly turned red, and she might have immediately left her mind out of the mind.

Suddenly, although Mu Zhen was embarrassed, the two of them had a reputation and she quickly calmed down again.

She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said softly: That thing is no wonder.But don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person...

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Of course I understand.

Mu Zhen said: Because I was seen by the emperor, I often think of it and my heart is very entangled.Later I felt very strange and I vaguely wanted to be seen by you... The more she said, the lower the voice.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I am only one month pregnant and can still do that kind of thing.I will go to bed in your palace tonight.

The Lord... Mu Zhen sang shyly.

...The next day, after Zhu Gaoxu met the minister at the Imperial Gate, he came to Rouyi Hall to work.

The weather has been very good recently, and the climate in the capital is calm. Maybe Mu Zhen is right, God agrees with this Northern Expedition!Zhu Gaoxu also had a clear conscience, and it was not an unjust battle in itself!

Most memorials do not need to be approved every day, and they can be handled by the cabinet and the treasure office, so there has not been much problem yet; however, matters related to the Northern Expedition will still be submitted directly to Zhu Gaoxu.

The Ministry of War often reports, and everything is complicated; there are also memorials for the allocation of weapons and weapons.

Zhu Gaoxu took a rough look at the weapons and ammunition that the Ministry of War was preparing to transport, and the equipment did not fundamentally change the things used by the Han Wangjun during the Battle of Crime; but it improved the production system that was not yet mature at the time.

Among them, the Han King cannon was not uniform in size and was troublesome to use.

Now, the workshops of various bureaus and institutes have uniformly used the size standards and casting technology of the Iron Factory of the South Bureau of the Shouyusi Department, which has finally avoided the disadvantages of being difficult to replenish.

In terms of muskets, the formerly many types of copper hand guns, sharp guns, etc. were eliminated and went to local garrisons; all the muskets used by elite troops in the Beijing camp and distributed to various personnel from the Northern Expedition were used to open mountain guns.

The gunpowder used has also changed from the past. Several purification processes of filtering and boiling were added, and then milled and screened to make granules.

Due to the increased power of gunpowder, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army have also made new adjustments.

Based on these experiences, Zhu Gaoxu thought in his mind that the top-down approach to government orders has certain effects on improving specific technologies, as long as there is enough money and resources to be invested.

However, if technology is to develop in all aspects, it requires a wider group of people to participate, and be motivated and motivated.

After he put down the memorial from the Ministry of War, he remembered the response of heaven and man mentioned yesterday by Mu Zhen, and suddenly remembered that this year is the year of autumn examination and that next spring, he will be held to be a Jinshi.

Zhu Gaoxu asked the eunuch to go to Wuying Hall and read the government affairs files recently processed by the cabinet.

Sure enough, in the file, I found the content about the imperial examination, mainly about the examination of the juren this fall.

The provincial tribute colleges are presided over the examination in the autumn examination, but the Ministry of Rites must send people to supervise it; the court must control the examiners, questions, etc.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't need to ask about the progress of the Qiu Examination in detail, and could also determine the question 100% in his mind: it must be the Confucian Neo-Confucianism!

Since the Song Dynasty and until the Ming Dynasty, Confucian Neo-Confucianism has been an officially recognized science and is also the direction for the imperial examination to be selected.

It means that most scholars have a unified mindset from Confucian scholars, scholars, scholars, and Jinshi...

People in the world are very utilitarian and pay attention to practicality. Regardless of whether people agree or not, they can become officials when they learn this thing, and everyone is willing to learn it when they read it.

Even serious books such as "Records of the Grand Historian" are idle books that are useless at this time!

Although Zhu Gaoxu was born into a vassal king and showed himself as a martial artist, he had been taught by a well-educated man since childhood and had rich educational resources.

So he still remembers a lot of knowledge in his mind now; he still knows about the various ancient theories and schools of thought.

Around the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism and Mind Science emerged, were branches of Confucianism and had a relatively complete system.

In fact, these backward ideas in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes played a great role in maintaining the rule of the Zhu family dynasty.

It rigorously explains the reasonable relationship between monarchy and ethics; if it is not the most basic thing and is wrong, this worldview is almost impeccable!

If Zhu Gaoxu had told everyone about science now, because of his emperor status, people would have to be considered a madman... He was going to kill Zhu Gaoxu, and his elder brother who had already become an enemy died. Zhu Gaoxu was just a little suspicious and made him a little worried; not to mention that the emperor suddenly jumped out and challenged the ideological foundation of the world.

Moreover, scientific theory may not necessarily match the current productivity and ruling order.

You can't be too hasty... Zhu Gaoxu murmured to himself, and closed the cabinet's files helplessly.

The eunuch standing on the side heard him talking and quickly paid attention.But Zhu Gaoxu has no more information.

He plans to temporarily ignore this year's provincial examination and next spring's commemorative examination, and just let the ministers tinker with it; at least they are familiar with things and people, which is better than the chaos in the world.

Now it seems that Neo-Confucianism is just Neo-Confucianism!Anyway, when Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, he also had a response from heaven and man on Chengtian Gate.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but remember what he said again: Any meaningful event is complicated and difficult.
