Chapter 123 Girls' School 3
Zhou Xian pressed her back to the seat, rubbed her shoulders and massaged her, saying, "Yu'er, have you ever thought about how to place King Yong and the little princess?"
Zhu Niu suddenly raised her head and her eyes widened, "What do you want to do? You have sent Ci Jiong to Nanjing, and now you want to take Ci Xu and Zhao Ren?"
Zhou Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Didn't I tell you too much? You shouldn't let Zuo Maodi take King Ding to Nanjing without discussing with you. But you also have to think about it. Now your emperor is alone in Nanjing. Although you asked Fei Yue'e to take care of him, it would be uncomfortable if you don't have a relative around you. I also soft-heartedly agreed to this matter. Since the matter has passed, don't be angry about it anymore."
Zhu Niang pouted and said, "I didn't say that you did something wrong in this matter, but you should discuss it with me in advance. My father and mother are gone now. If I can't take good care of them, how can I explain to my father and mother in the future? If you don't discuss with me in the future, make such a decision, and I...I will ignore you again." Zhu Niang is not a tough person, but she has an inexplicable stubbornness about this matter.
Seeing her eyes slightly red, it seemed that she was about to squeeze out tears. Zhou Xian put his hands together and begged for mercy, "I know I'm wrong, don't be angry, okay? Are you just going to discuss with you now?"
Zhu Mei calmed down and nodded, "Then tell me! What's the matter?"
Zhou Xian said: "In fact, it's not a big deal. I just thought that King Yong is almost eight years old and the little princess is five years old. If she was still in the palace, there were already more than a dozen teachers who taught them specifically. Although there is no such condition now, it is still okay to hire one or two teachers for them. In addition, there is another option, let King Yong go to a private school like an ordinary child."
Zhu Ma Yun blinked, "You're just for this?"
Zhou Xian nodded.
Zhu Mai thought for a while and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhou Xian said: "I think he should be allowed to enter a private school. I don't know others, but if I am allowed to face two old masters and tell me every day! It would be strange if I don't just suffocate. When I go to a private school, although the master may not put all his body and mind on him, there are always classmates who play with him. Knowledge is one aspect, but communicating with others is also one aspect. Royal education is good, but it is to cultivate the emperor. Once I can't become an emperor, it will be useless and boring. In fact, it is good to make him happy and comfortable like an ordinary child. What do you think!"
Zhu Moe nodded slightly. She suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhou Xian steadily, "Zhou Xian, have you always wanted to turn them into ordinary people?"
Zhou Xian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded gently. He sat next to her, his expression became very serious. "Yu Er, do you know what a troubled world is?"
Before Zhu Nishiyu answered, Zhou Xian continued: "In times of trouble, people are like ants, and their lives are like grass. Whether you are a phoenix, dragon grandson, golden branches and jade leaves, or a poor civilian beggar, you cannot control your destiny in the face of chaos in the world. And the descendants of the royal family, especially once they fall from that position, they are the targets of the new power. The best fate is to be raised like pigs and sheep and suffer humiliation. And because they were once arrogant, their ability to bear disasters is often worse than ordinary people, which is what people say, "The phoenix is not as good as a chicken when they land." Unless they make others unable to feel the threat."
Zhou Xian sighed softly and then said, "Your father is a big tree that can shelter you from wind and rain. Now this big tree has fallen. If it were in a prosperous era or not in such a chaotic era, your royal brother might be a wise king. But now it is a chaotic era. The Ming Dynasty is already terminally ill and must be cured by strong medicine. His character is too lenient. Although there is still half of the country in the south, the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Fushe, and various military generals, vassal kings in various places, and many separatist forces in the local area are not a good deal. His character may be able to balance the interests of these people and gradually stabilize the situation. But it is too difficult for him to be enterprising and recover Beidu. Li Zicheng, Zhu Youjian, and Dorgon are all ambitious. The situation is to sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. His situation may not be much better than you."
Zhu Mai frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to help the emperor brother?"
Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Yu'er, things are not as simple as you think. Do you know why I declared my independence on that day? In addition to the situation, I had to seek to maintain a peaceful relationship with the Chuangjun and the Longwu army, but I also had to do everything I wanted to do to completely conflict with what your emperor brother wanted to maintain. For example, your emperor brother wanted to protect the country of your Zhu family and maintain the wealth of the clan and vassal princes. But I wanted to take down the land from them and force them to make a living like ordinary people. This is not a personal conflict between me and your emperor brother, which is inevitable and unreconciled."
Seeing that Zhu Ma's face became increasingly ugly, Zhou Xian stopped continuing the topic. "It is also because this is not a conflict between me and your royal brother, so this is not a personal grudge. Therefore, no matter when, if I am still there, I will definitely protect your royal brother Zhouquan. But as I said, in this chaotic world, no one can completely control his destiny. I can't tell what the situation in the future is. It is possible that your royal brother and I are not the last ones, and no one can protect you again. At that time, I just hope that you will live well like ordinary people, one house, one meal and one dish."
Looking at Zhu Mi who was a little panicked, Sister Feng sighed softly and poured her a cup of tea. "Your Highness, did Zhou Xian really tell you this?" Zhu Mi had told her his identity before.
Zhu Niu held the teacup and nodded gently, without saying a word.
Feng Sanjie was silent for a while, which made her think of herself, and suddenly felt a little lost. "Your Highness, at least Zhou Xian didn't plan to lie to you. Although what he said was a little straightforward, the fact is, dynasties change, which one is not accompanied by a sea of blood? It is rare for Zhou Xian to do this. The key is, what do you think and what to do next?"
Zhu Moe shook her head, "I just want Zhou Xian and the emperor to be good."
