At this moment, He Xi is playing chess with Princess Anqing.
In the past few days, the relationship between He Xi and Princess Anqing has developed by leaps and bounds.
The relationship between He Xi and Princess Anqing is always watched by someone. There is no intimate movement. They were playing outside the city a few days ago, but Princess Anqing is essentially a person who likes silence and does not like to move.
After a long time, I stayed in the palace, reading, drinking tea and playing chess.
They also gradually became familiar with each other.
Princess Anqing frowned and said, "Your chess style is very strange."
He Xi's Go level is not very high, but she can still know a few fixed moves. And Princess Anqing is not a Go expert, she just plays according to the chess records. Her level is even more average. Anyway, He Xi can place Princess Anqing's pieces at will.
Become what you want.
In fact, playing chess like this is very boring.
However, the two sides are not playing chess themselves.
"Actually, I only know a little bit about Go." He Xi said, "Only a few formulas. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
"Okay." Princess Anqing raised her head, a trace of hair hanging in front of her eyes, as if to block the girl's excited heart.
Princess Anqing did not have high requirements for her future husband, and many of He Xi's performances far exceeded Princess Anqing's expectations. After getting along with her for a few days, her heart has long been tied to He Xi.
At this time, Xu Baoer came running over and said, "Secretary He, your Majesty has summoned you."
He Xi felt a little nervous.
The relationship with Princess Anqing warmed up. Of course, the two of them had a good impression of each other. But it was He Xi who was more proactive. Compared to He Xi who had never eaten pork in later generations and had at least seen pigs running away, Princess Anqing was even more blank.
Paper, especially when all parties agree, Princess Anqing is actually very easy to handle.
Even if she is a princess.
The reason why He Xi is like this is because of the worry and fear deep in his heart.
General He Xi taught Zhu Yuanzhang the truth clearly. But he didn't know how Zhu Yuanzhang would react to these things.
Should we strive to reform the law, be selective in the new policies, or block all news and act as if nothing has happened?
He Xi didn't know, but he was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would erase him from this time and space. Zhu Yuanzhang could do this. So he tried his best to capture Princess Anqing, just so that Zhu Yuanzhang would consider Princess Anqing more when he was thinking about it.
Side chips.
He even thought that if Zhu Yuanzhang could always use the computer, he would forget about him.
But he knew this was impossible. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been sealing himself in Qianqing Palace at this moment, finally summoned him.
He Xi smashed the chess pieces on the chessboard and said to Princess Anqing: "I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Princess Anqing didn't care too much. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was his father to him, so he didn't think there was any danger. Princess Anqing nodded and said, "Go ahead and let me review it."
He Xi turned around and walked towards Qianqing Palace, but was stopped by Xu Baoer. Xu Baoer said: "Secretary He, Your Majesty is not in Qianqing Palace now."
------
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in Qianqing Palace, but in a place He Xi had never imagined. It was the most prosperous Jubao Gate in Nanjing.
At this moment, the Jubao Gate, which was full of traffic, had been cleared away. The hundreds of meters of city wall were left empty, without a single soldier. Only Zhu Yuanzhang was stroking the top of the Jubao Gate step by step.
Xu Zheng said, "Your Majesty has ordered that Secretary He only be allowed to go there alone."
He Xi nodded and walked along the city wall. A few miles behind Zhu Yuanzhang, he saluted and said, "I pay my respects to your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not look back and said: "Get up and come and have a look."
He Xi stepped forward, stood on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and looked at the busy traffic below. As mentioned earlier, Jubaomen is the main entrance to Nanjing, and Changqianli outside Jubaomen is also quite prosperous.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you know why I am here?"
He Xi said: "I don't know."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Because this gate, Jubao Gate, is also the Chinese Gate."
"In your film, the Nanjing Massacre was not mentioned much, but I know that this was the last front line to protect Nanjing. The soldiers fought here to the last soldier. And this is also where the massacre began.
After the Japanese broke through Nanjing's city defenses, this is where they started their killing spree."
"Do you know how I felt at that time?"
"I have seen too many cruel things in troubled times, including massacres of cities. It's just this one thing that makes me really uncomfortable."
"The Ming Dynasty is my work, and the city of Nanjing is also my work."
"I thought that I would let my city of Nanjing protect the people of Nanjing for thousands of generations. But, six hundred years later, my old friend is no longer useful."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted the bricks on the wall at the head of the city and said, "But I am still very happy. I always leave something behind. The things I leave behind, as an old man, can still provide shelter for the people of the world six hundred years later."
The wind and rain are withstanding, but I am very sad. I, Zhu, have finally exhausted the remaining six hundred years of my life."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this.
Silence fell.
Facing the Jubao Gate that has stood here for six hundred years and the Chinese Gate in later generations is like facing the vicissitudes of six hundred years.
Many people have spoken out.
This feeling of vicissitudes of life cannot be expressed in words.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi, our conversation this time is not about monarchs and ministers, nor son-in-law, but about ancient and modern times. I ask you, what kind of person do you think I am?"
He Xi said: "Your Majesty is a wise and powerful man. He rose from ordinary life and over the past ten years he has dominated the world. It is beyond the reach of any human being.----" He Xi still wanted to flatter him.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So you are so worried that I will kill you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like a long knife, inserted directly into He Xi's heart. He Xi's face turned pale and his body was shaky. Zhu Yuanzhang revealed the most secret worries in He Xi's heart. The secret deep in He Xi's heart was revealed to the blue sky and daylight.
under.
I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care and said, "How many years have you been studying?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to ask questions and asked He Xi to take a step back. He Xi calmed down and said, with sweat still visible on his forehead, "Start in kindergarten, maybe twenty years later."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I read your teaching materials. I don't know whether it is deliberate on your part or for other reasons. There is obviously a problem with this teaching material. What do you know about the problem?"
When He Xi finally recovered, he secretly cursed in his heart. He felt that there were so many experts deciding on the textbooks for later generations, so there was something wrong with it. But he couldn't point it out and said, "I don't know, please give me some advice, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is skill but no way."
He Xi said: "There is skill but no way?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer directly, but asked: "You look down on Confucianism, don't you?" He Xi replied: "I also look down on some corrupt Confucians. It's just that Confucianism has valued moral articles the most for thousands of years. These moral articles are of course useless. But they are
It teaches people how to be a human being. And learning how to be a human being is something that people need to learn throughout their lives."
He Xi secretly thought: "We also have ideological and moral education." He said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard He Xi's duplicity and said: "I will teach you a lesson. Confucianism is divided into primary school and university. Primary school is to educate and cultivate integrity. It is to read exegesis. And university is the way to govern the country."
"What is the difference between primary school and university? I am determined to study at the age of fifteen."
"It's determination."
"Only when people want to understand what kind of person they want to be in this life can they learn different knowledge accordingly. There is endless learning in the world. It cannot be said that it is useless for a martial artist to learn chapters and sentences. But it is by no means necessary, and it is even more important.
What's more, only what a person wants to do from the bottom of his heart will have the greatest motivation."
"If a person cannot face up to his innermost thoughts and instead pursues superficiality, it is difficult to say that such a person has truly lived a lifetime."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at He Xi, and saw He Xi at a glance. He showed respect on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't underestimate it. The two words "determination" are the first level of knowledge. They are also the foundation of all knowledge.
.And these textbooks of yours seem to have not put much effort into this, but have put a lot of effort into specific matters. I just don't know, can each of you use this knowledge?"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, He Xi didn't know how to answer for a while. He just remained silent.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of going into detail and continued.
"And how to set one's mind is the key to learning."
"Actually, when I think back to those days, when I was young, I didn't learn any of this, but I was used to seeing mountains and rivers shattered. I swore at that time that if I were to take power one day, I would definitely bring peace to the world. As for being an emperor, that was something I had never done before.
Thought about it.”
"Perhaps, you think that I am putting gold on my face. No matter what changes happen in the future, my original intention is still like this. Therefore, there are many rebels in the world, but I, Zhu Yuanzhang, have never done anything where I have done it. It is known as the Bodhisattva's disease.
, I have never done any evil things committed by other rebels, even Hu Dahai and his son were killed by me."
Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang also closed his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable thinking about this matter now. Back then, Hu Dahai presided over the army's expedition to western Zhejiang. He controlled almost one-third of Zhu Yuanzhang's army. Hu Dahai's only son was reselling military rations in the rear. Zhu Yuanzhang risked Hu Dahai's efforts.
The risk of rebellion. Justice on the spot.
And Hu Dahai did not let Zhu Yuanzhang down after all.
However, Hu Dahai died young and had no heirs.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not regret killing Hu Dahai's only son, but he felt a little guilty about the fact that Hu Dahai was childless.
"My original intention was this, and it has not changed at all now. You think I will kill you because of a little threat in the future. You underestimated me and underestimated yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly. But in his heart
But that may not be the case.
In fact, this period of time was also a baptism for Zhu Yuanzhang.
