At the end of the class, Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Although you are the filial piety of the common people, you may not lack food and clothing to support your parents, but filial piety is the same. If you can support your parents, even if the gold and silver spent are not yours, I think they will Will be very happy."
"So, next time you take a rest, give your parents or grandparents something when you go back, or a set of clothes, or a bowl of food."
Seeing that everyone responded respectfully on the surface, Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "I will ask."
Everyone: ...
It was the first time that the students were a little distressed when they met the teacher who pressured him to give gifts to the parents.
The prince couldn't feel their distress, because he didn't think it had anything to do with him, but he was late in the afternoon when he was dealing with government affairs in the Tai Chi Hall and had to stay and have dinner with his parents. Seeing that the mother on the side seemed to have a bad appetite, he took a chopstick of green vegetables from the plate in front of him and gave her, "Is the mother's mother bitter summer?"
The queen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's getting hotter and hotter today, so my appetite has been a little bit bad these two days."
The emperor couldn't help but looked at her caringly, knowing that she didn't like to hire an imperial physician, so he thought about it and said to the prince, "Let Zhou Man come to the Tai Chi Hall if he has nothing to do, and see if there is any way to cool off."
The emperor said: "It's only May, and you will have a bitter summer, so what will you do next month?"
The queen did not refute this time, seeing that he only ate meat and no vegetables, she smiled and said: "Don't blame me, Your Majesty, you have been sweating a lot these past two days, the imperial doctor has already told you to eat less meat, Eat more fruits and vegetables."
The emperor bowed his head to eat without saying a word.
The queen turned to look at the prince and gave him a wink.
The prince was slightly stunned, looked at the vegetables that were very close to him, and then saw that there was a lot of meat in front of the father, after thinking about it, he also picked up a chopstick of vegetables for him, "Father, eat more vegetables."
After picking it up, he felt that it was not enough, so the prince also signaled Eunuch Wu to bring all the vegetables in front of him to the emperor.
Eunuch Wu was trembling and hesitantly stepped forward.
The emperor looked at the piles of green vegetables in the bowl, and couldn't help blowing his beard, but he looked up at the queen, then at the prince, and silently raised his chopsticks to eat.
Forget it, anyway, it was the prince who caught it.
Speaking of which, among the few children, only the third child and Ming Da would stuff food into his mouth, and this was the first time the crown prince gave him food.
It's a pity that this dish is not my favorite.
Although Huanxi is discounted by half, it is still Huanxi, isn't it
When Eunuch Wu saw that the emperor was eating vegetables, he immediately lifted up the plate of vegetables and put them in front of the emperor.
The emperor glanced at his son who was gnawing on the chicken leg, and ordered a plate of green vegetables far away and said: "Give it to the prince, the weather is hot, eat more vegetables and less meat."
The queen sat on the sidelines and watched the father and son hurt each other with a smile, and her appetite improved a little.
The appetites of the two sons are similar to their father's. They only like to eat meat and drink alcohol, but not vegetables. The same goes for Mingda's child. He is obviously weak and cannot eat more meat, and he is always greedy for meat.
The crown prince ate and drank enough, and worked overtime with the emperor. It was completely dark, and all the gates of the palace had to be locked before he finished approving the papers assigned to him. After handing them over to his father, he would pat his ass and leave. .
Thinking of what Zhuang Xun said today, children do the work on behalf of their parents, and the bastard still wants to share the benefits of the land, use it sparingly, and be filial to his parents. He doesn't have to work like a bastard, but he can still give a warning.
There is no need to do it on behalf of him, let alone the question of whether he is willing or not, if he really offered to do it for him, his father might think that he wants to grab the throne and become emperor.
So the crown prince tried to be as sincere as possible and said some nonsense, "My minister will retire first, and my father will rest earlier, so don't stay up late and hurt your body."
The emperor nodded and let him go, adhering to the rules of courtesy and reciprocity, and told Wu Gonggong: "Order two more lanterns, and be careful where you step."
Eunuch Wu respectfully agreed, and the palace officials brightened up the lanterns to show the prince the way.
After the prince left, the emperor turned his head and asked Gu Zhong, "Did the prince lose his temper with the courtiers today?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Zhong bent down and said, "Your Highness is in a good mood today, and he didn't lose his temper."
The emperor was a little puzzled, "You know how to care about me, what's wrong?"
Gu Zhong felt that the emperor suspected that the prince weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, and immediately said: "I heard that this morning the prince went to the Chongwen Museum to read the "Book of Filial Piety."
The emperor was very surprised, "Kong offered wine? What's so special about him reading the "Book of Filial Piety"? I remember that he told the prince about the "Book of Filial Piety" a few years ago, and I didn't see the prince listen to it much. I don't give a damn."
Gu Zhong said with a smile: "It was taught by a servant named Zhuang Xun. His Majesty just made him a ninth-rank servant lecturer not long ago and let him enter the East Palace to give lectures."
Upon hearing this, the emperor came to his senses, "Teachers of Zhou Man and Bai Shan?"
"yes."
The emperor put down his pen, stroked his beard and thought, "Not to mention Zhou Man and Bai Shan, both of them are pure filial people. Does their junior brother, named Bai, also respect his parents?"
How did Gu Zhong know
However, he still bent down and said with a smile: "That Mr. Bai can not only enter the Imperial College, but also enter the Chongwen Museum, so he is naturally a filial person."
The emperor thought for a while, and said after a while: "Kong Lao Er is good at everything, but he can't compare with others in the "Book of Filial Piety", and his temper is also violent. The prince's temper is like mine. No matter how wordy he is, it's no wonder the prince can't listen to him."
Gu Zhong: ...
Who is it that scolds the prince for his temper every time he doesn't listen to the teacher
Now I know that the prince has a temper like yours.
Gu Zhong responded with a stiff smile, his eyes swept across the hall, and found that only his apprentice and two maids were there, so he felt relieved.
Well, it's very good to keep your mouth shut, the words just now should not get out.
These words did not get out, but yesterday the prince not only had a friendly dinner with the empress, the emperor also cared about the lighting problem of the prince walking at night, but it got out.
The whole dynasty and the whole palace knew about it.
Everyone knew that the relationship between the prince and the emperor had become more harmonious, and before the prince realized it, his affairs in the court were smoother.
Even Wei Zhi, who has been picking his nose and eyes at him, rarely smiled at him, and even chatted with him during the break, "The book from Shengzhou that His Highness handled today is not bad."
The prince nodded reservedly, and couldn't help being happy in his heart.
Even his father is rarely praised by Wei Zhi.
After hearing the words, Old Master Tang smiled and said: "The weather is hot these days, and the empress is not in good health. Why don't your highness suggest that the empress go to the Daming Palace to escape the summer heat?"
The queen has gone, why don't you take the opportunity to suggest that the emperor follow along
This is also filial piety.
Once they come and go, the relationship between father and son will naturally improve.
Mr. Tang, who has always had a good relationship between father and son, has a deep understanding of this.
