Chapter 763
Queen Zhou is not a sloping person. She summoned Xu Jianqiang to come today. In fact, she discussed the important matters and said: "I hope you can serve as the prince's tutor and be responsible for teaching the prince and the third prince martial arts and riding and shooting."
After hearing this sentence, Xu Jianqiang was very surprised. He said, "Who is the deed of the empress can serve as the crown prince's tutor? Some of the court are wise scholars, but I dare not serve as the chief tutor."
In fact, Xu Jianqiang is not good at martial arts and cavalry.
Queen Zhou said: "I think you can, so you can do it naturally. I hope you can teach the prince about martial arts, riding and shooting, and also teach them the way to survive."
The prince of the Ming Dynasty has always been taught by officials from the Prince Zhan Shi Mansion. They are all famous scholars or bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, and all of them are talented and virtuous and outstanding people.
The Prince's Grand Tutor is responsible for the prince's riding and shooting and swordsmanship, and is often held by military generals and nobles. However, after the trend of emphasizing literature and over military affairs was heavy, even this position that was held by a military general was held by civil servants, and it was only a honorary position and rarely protected or taught the prince. Now Empress Zhou hopes that he will be the Prince's Grand Tutor is definitely not a nominal term, but to let him truly teach the prince's real martial arts.
The crown prince of Chongzhen, Zhu Cilang, is the eldest son of Chongzhen and his mother, Empress Zhou. He was born on the fourth day of the second month of Chongzhen and is eight years old this year.
A certain Empress of the Later Zhou Dynasty was born again in Zhu Cixuan, King Huaiyin, and was born on the third day of the 12th month of the second year of Chongzhen. She died soon after. She was posthumously conferred titles in the third year of Chongzhen and was buried in the original land of Cuiwei Mountain on the 22nd month of the fifth year.
Zhu Cijiong was established, and the Empress Zhou also gave birth to the third prince Zhu Cijiong in the fifth year of Songzhen, and is five years old this year.
There is also Princess Kunyi who died young and her eldest daughter, Princess Changping, was born in the seventh year of Songzhen and was three years old this year. This is the current situation of the Daming Tian family, and Xu Jianqiang knew this.
Xu Jianqiang was very excited after receiving the appointment of Empress Zhou, but he refused: "The humble minister is not virtuous and incompetent, and is not enough to hold this important position. He is only afraid that he will be entrusted by the Empress."
The prince is the future of the Ming Dynasty and the foundation of the country. Xu Jianqiang asked himself what his ability was not enough to teach the prince.
Empress Zhou is a smart person. She said: "I think you have the ability, and you have the ability. Of course, I don't ask you to teach the prince's poetry, songs, but ask you to teach him martial arts, riding and shooting, and the way of survival in the world. As long as you think it is useful, you can teach them. This is both a request and a decree. I hope you don't refuse."
After Queen Zhou finished speaking, she left her phoenix throne, stood up, and bowed to Xu Jianqiang.
Of course, this is a ceremony for apprenticeship for her prince. No matter how big Xu Jianqiang is, for the queen, he is a minister. Even as his internal official, he is not even a minister. He can only be considered a slave. No matter what, he cannot afford to be a queen's courtesy. This will lead to a long life. But if he is the prince's teacher, this is different. This is a ceremony for apprenticeship.
Despite this, Xu Jianqiang did not dare to receive the gift, so he quickly knelt down sideways and said, "How dare you behave? How dare you behave?"
Empress Zhou said: "The prince is young and never gets updated. I am the palace's apprenticeship ceremony for the prince. I hope that Admiral Xu can not be disgusted with the prince's crossbow and give him advice."
Queen Zhou is a truly smart person, and she also found that the world is changing, and many things that were previously thought to be natural have become very unreliable.
If it were in the past, the prince's teaching was the most important thing for the royal family. Only the emperor could decide, and even the cabinet had to discuss which famous scholar and scholar should be appointed. Whether the other party's identity, status, origin, etc. must be included in the consideration. None of them is indispensable. If a moral gentleman or a scholar in Qingliu cannot be appointed.
It can be said that those who can be the prince’s teacher are top figures, and their future wealth is no problem. If this is the case, Xu Jianqiang will not be qualified no matter what, and he will not be elected no matter what. However, Empress Zhou rejected the opposition and insisted on letting him be the one, so he could only be the one.
Of course, the Prince's Grand Tutor is a false title, not just one, and can appoint multiple members at the same time. However, with the temper of Queen Zhou, she personally requested to appoint Xu Jianqiang as the Prince's Grand Tutor. Naturally, she hoped that Xu Jianqiang would truly teach the prince some things. She could see that Xu Jianqiang could have a small person at the bottom, who survived under the pressure of such a peerless strongman as Liu Yuanqiao, and even turned Liu Yuanqiao green. This is the real capable man. If the prince learns from him, he might learn something.
The way Empress Zhou was like this was that the prince had learned from these famous scholars and officials in the past, and seemed to be unable to learn anything. She was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, hoping that Xu Jianqiang could teach her prince some ways to survive. If there was any change in the future, she could live like an ordinary person.
Empress Zhou did not know that the Ming Dynasty would perish, but just wanted to simply let her son learn more. After all, her skills would not be overwhelming, but let them learn from Xu Jianqiang. That was what Queen Zhou saw. The Chinese civil servants in the court were not good, so she had to learn another one.
The queen said, and asked her princes to force a bow to Xu Jian.
Xu Jianqiang's current identity is like having more slaves than officials. For people outside, he is an official, but for members of the royal family, he is a slave. Now that the prince saluted him, he really flattered him.
At this time, Xu Jianqiang was so moved that he couldn't recover. He knelt down again, and said in tears: "I swear here that I would do my best to go through fire and water, and to protect the prince Zhouquan to the death."
This is the death of a man for his confidant.
If Liu Yuanqiao doesn't take him seriously, he will turn against Liu Yuanqiao.
The emperor and the empress were the most noble people in the world, but they respected him. At this moment, he was very moved and developed a kind of intention, which was to serve the emperor, to pieces, and never refuse to die.
Empress Zhou could not have expected that her plan would bring a way out for their descendants.
Xu Jianqiang's literary talent is not good, nor his martial arts skills are not good, but he has extremely strong survival ability, and his survival ability is stronger than that of a mouse. That's how he describes himself. He is a person who can survive under the eight-faced Buddha cat, Liu Yuanqiaoqiao. Of course, there are no exceptions for others.
He had no extraordinary wisdom, but had strong escape and survival ability. At this moment, he made up his mind to do his best and use all his abilities to repay the emperor and the queen's kindness for him.
When Xu Jianqiang left the Forbidden City, he had another title on his body, which was the crown prince's tutor. Although it was just a title, it made him feel the supreme glory and a heavy sense of responsibility.
When he saw the prince and prince, the young child, bowing respectfully to him and calling him the Grand Tutor, he felt excited and relieved.
What kind of virtue is Xu Jianqiang? I, Xu Jianqiang, actually become the Grand Tutor? As the Grand Tutor of the Prince, who dares to say that someone is incompetent!
Xu Jianqiang was without children and wandered all his life. At this moment, he had a strange feeling, just like his children. He had the responsibility and obligation to protect their consideration and let them grow up.
Maybe in the eyes of the queen, she just wanted to find a teacher, and the prince was to obey his mother's will and salute him, but this was of great significance to Xu Jianqiang.
He believed that this was the royal family respecting him as a national teacher, and he would definitely repay him as a national teacher.
If Xu Jianqiang used to be an official just to prove himself and to revenge Liu Yuanqiao, he was just a choice to support the Ming Dynasty, but at this moment, he felt a heavy responsibility, that is, the Ming Dynasty was also his Ming Dynasty, and he was part of him.
Even if the Ming Dynasty was not his Ming Dynasty, it was his disciple's Ming Dynasty. If the prince ascended the throne to the emperor in the future, the world would be his. He must guard the world for the prince.
Xu Jianqiang left the Forbidden City in a very low-key manner. When he was at Donghua Gate, he saw Nie Chengyu and his son.
Xu Jianqiang bribed Nie Chengyu and his son with a large sum of money. This move was the right way. If he bribed the father and his son, it would be equivalent to bribing the gangsters in the entire capital.
Originally, they didn't know how to deal with the Liu Family Army spies in the capital, but at this moment, he caught all the spies from the Liu Family Army Security Bureau within three days.
Xu Jianqiang couldn't believe that if he hadn't tortured these people, he wouldn't have believed that so many spies and spies from the Chinese army were ambushed in the capital.
They had a large number of people, reaching thousands of people, and they were all over the world. They even had spies installed in many ministers and government departments. After climbing and biting them, they found thousands of people. This was so scary.
How many spies were hiding in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty full of holes in intelligence. For the Chinese Army, it was unilateral transparency. There was nothing they could hide from the Chinese Army. Almost every decision was made, as long as it was announced, the other party would know immediately.
Moreover, the other party used Feige to deliver letters, which also made him very interested in this way of delivering messages. No wonder the Chinese army is so powerful that it is far superior to them in terms of message transmission.
Xu Jianqiang was very happy to have arrested so many spies, and he also seized a large amount of property, which solved the financial problems of the Dongchang.
