Chapter 36 Court Fun(1/2)
After sending Wang Hao away, Zhu Houzhao exhaled and showed a somewhat evil smile.
Sometimes straight people are the best to fool,
Just like Wang Hao, you only think that this matter is beneficial to the people.
Even if he is allowed to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
"This old guy is quite cute."
Zhu Houzhao was in a comfortable mood.
But in fact there are also hidden worries.
This thing is very difficult, very, very difficult. Why?
In fact, the Medical Palace is not bad. He is just a doctor.
Once it is extended, will the court select people as officials?
This is a big deal.
Because only scholars and those who came from the imperial examination are qualified to be officials.
Although these people say that they are officials for the sake of the court and the people, but do you really try to give them the chance to become officials?
It's just that Zhu Houzhao wanted to set up the "education" bureau again, because he was young and ten or eight years was not a problem.
He didn't want to see that in ten years' time, the court would still be a bunch of old academics. If this plan were not set up, let alone ten years or a hundred years later, it would still be the same people, just with different names!
He cannot fight with this group of people every day, let alone forcefully implement some ideas from five hundred years later, because these old scholars are the ones who implement them. The people who implement them have different ideas from you, and they are still a bunch of smart people.
Then if you fight with them, you will exhaust yourself to death as an emperor.
But if there is a "new man" in the country and the court, he will naturally be like an arm and have the right to speak. He does not have to do anything on his own. He first has to fight alone and quarrel with the old scholars.
Therefore, the real purpose of the Academy is not to train a few doctors and generals, but to drain the firepower and control the government. It is just because the results are slow, so it must be laid out early.
Of course, this is just one of the methods, and it is a long-term consideration. It is not the key to the immediate situation. It may not be as useful as showing that "the prince is dedicated to the people".
That is to say, Wang Hao is pure and does not think too much. He feels that since it is beneficial to the poor people, he will do it.
In fact, changing an adult's values is one of the most difficult things in the world.
Let’s talk about Wu Kuan, he won’t approve of you even if you tell the truth. At such an old age, he already has his own opinions.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to spend more time with young people.
It is not bad to start from the entry point of medical treatment. The rest will follow the same pattern.
Education is a century-old plan.
It's just that teaching farming is a bit too much. Is there any shortage of farmers who know how to farm in Ming Dynasty?
It seems that Wang Hao's family is in good condition and he is a city dweller.
Thinking this way, I found it interesting, and suddenly I glanced over and saw Qiu Yun secretly smiling,
She doesn't laugh often, because she's serving the Crown Prince and laughing wildly. What's this called?
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is not common. When I saw her now, I felt that her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were as pure as the lotus blooming.
It wasn't until the prince discovered her that he quickly returned to normal.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Qiu Yun's voice was thin and gentle, as sweet as a kingfisher, "I am thinking... Lord Wang was downcast when he first came. After hearing a few words from His Highness, he left with joy and joy.
, somewhat interesting.”
"That's right, that's why I say he's cute. Because he's pure, he's cute."
Qiu Yun now gradually dared to talk to the prince, so he asked: "Your Highness, you must have thought about all this, right?"
"almost."
"When I left the palace, I also had this consideration in mind."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head, "That's not true. After leaving the palace, I can't control what happens. But words are dead and people are alive. You can pull it in the direction you want."
Qiuyun understood.
From this perspective, His Highness never does anything for a single purpose.
That was when I was considering the Medical Palace.
I am already thinking about things like an agricultural academy and a military academy.
How can there be such smart people in the world?
Even after the Agricultural and Military Academy, there may be another purpose.
But this is not what she can know, and it is hard to ask. What does a palace maid do when she knows so much?
All she had to do was serve tea to His Highness,
The world is so big, and all the people will surely be in the palm of His Highness’ hands in the future.
While talking, Liu Jin came into the palace and took something good in his hand, "Your Highness, these are the playing cards you asked me to make before."
Zhu Houzhao was a little happy, "Is it done?"
Earlier, he had promised Queen Zhang that he would teach her a fun game.
The queen was very boring in the harem, and Emperor Hongzhi married such a wife, so there was no way he could have any drama about fighting in the harem.
So Zhu Houzhao thought of the poker game,
I originally wanted to say mahjong, but that one is a bit complicated and takes more time to make. Cards are easier. It doesn't matter whether it's clubs or spades. Just print them in four colors: red, black, green, and yellow to distinguish them.
Thirteen cards of each color, done.
And it cannot be Arabic numerals, which is quite unfamiliar. Although Arabic numerals have been introduced to China at this time, they are not used much and are not mainstream.
Write it down, the queen doesn’t recognize it.
Kunning Palace has often welcomed the crown prince in recent days.
Usually Zhu Houzhao would sit here for a while, eat some snacks with Empress Zhang, chat, and tell a few future jokes to make her laugh, and that was about it.
Today he also followed his usual time.
Bring your cards and get ready to teach Texas Hold'em poker.
Its gameplay, to some extent, is not simply about luck, skills, performance, and courage are all crucial.
Because you can cheat, for example, if you have a small hand, pretend to be a big one, and scare others into giving up.
You can also have a big hand, but pretend to be a small hand, luring others to take the bait and raise their bets with you.
In short, Zhu Houzhao spent a long time explaining the details to Queen Zhang bit by bit.
Moreover, this game does not limit the number of players. After listening to it for a long time, Empress Zhang felt a little impatient, so she asked several eunuchs and maids to come and join in the number.
"Zhao'er means that as many people as possible can play?"
The prince nodded, "Yes, you will know when your mother learns it. The more people there are, the more fun it will be."
There was no shortage of people in the palace, but the maids were a little afraid, but fortunately they complied with the strong request.
Three palace maids, three eunuchs, plus their mother and son, let's go through it first.
Liu Jin is responsible for dealing cards.
The queen got two cards and asked: "What should I do now?"
Zhu Houzhao took out another piece of paper and said, "Mother, these are the rules. I have also marked which card is higher. If you look at your own card, if you think it is high, follow it. If you think it is low, throw it away and wait for the next time.
Opportunity. Of course, the Queen Mother can also scare me with small cards."
The queen rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the queen's son. How could the queen scare you?"
"It's a game."
This game is somewhat fun after you learn it. It's not just about turning the page to see what time you are and what time I am.
After several rounds of this, Zhu Houzhao deliberately let her bluff and threw the cards. The queen saw that she actually won with a bad hand, and she really felt a sense of accomplishment.
"This is fun. It's more interesting than throwing dice. This requires using your brain."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "On the Empress Dowager's side, the Queen Mother can also teach. Grandma's life is lively. After all, it is up to us to do our part in filial piety."
"The Queen Mother?"
It’s about Emperor Hongzhi’s grandmother, Mrs. Zhou.
Queen Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Zhao'er is interested."
Empress Dowager Zhou raised Emperor Hongzhi from childhood, and the emperor obeyed her old man's advice.
In fact, Hongzhi obeyed his family's advice.
In modern times, this guy is just the good old friend between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a doormat.
"If grandma finds it difficult, Zhao'er will teach you the easy ones, just to make her happy."
