    The trains represented, in some ways, an extension of central power.  In the era before trains, it would take two months for an "Huang Ming Bulletin" to travel from Beijing to Jiaozhi, and the central government's decree did not allow the use of carrier pigeons, so it would take an extra month.  Three months is enough time for many great things to happen.  Now the roaring train has extended the arm of the Ming Empire's imperial court center, allowing the court princes to understand local problems faster and mobilize troops, food, and commercial goods at a faster speed.  Although it was only a test section and the length was only twenty miles, the thousands of kilograms of cargo carried by the train, as well as His Majesty the Emperor and members of the royal family, finally arrived at the first stop outside Beijing at a faster speed.  "Your Majesty, the maximum speed of the train reached twenty-four miles per hour just now." The professor in charge of the train plan reported to Zhu Cihong.  The professor¡¯s surname is Tian Mingshuang. He is only in his early thirties. He is Wang Kuixingong¡¯s proud disciple. He is quite accomplished and talented in the mechanical field.  If Zhu Cixiang hadn't been the one calling the shots in this time and space, perhaps he would have been a master of science, won the imperial examination at the age of fifty, and lived out his mediocre life.  However, because of Zhu Cixiang, his childhood hobby became a lifelong career and gave him the opportunity to honor his ancestors.  Zhu Cixiang nodded to the young professor and said, "What's the load capacity?" "The experimental cargo totals six thousand kilograms." Tian Shuang said, "But the theoretical data is around twelve thousand kilograms." "Because I am heavier." Zhu Cihong joked.  road.  Tian Shuang also laughed and said: "Your Majesty has the sun and moon on his shoulders, and holds the country in his hands. How can it not be heavy?" This time, because His Majesty the Emperor requested to experience the train in person, of course the carriage could not be fully loaded. Judging from the previous experiments,  Fully loaded is much more dangerous than empty.  Several accidents have occurred due to overloading.  Zhu Cixiang looked at the platform from the window. Because he adopted his design concept, it is not much different from the train platforms of later generations.  He asked: "How is Mr. Kui Xingong?" Tian Shuang suddenly became depressed and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see the Beijing-Tianjin line connected in person." Wang Zheng was already extremely old in this era. Before the Beijing-Tianjin line was confirmed to be laid,  At the beginning, he no longer had the physical strength and energy to be responsible for actual work.  Unexpectedly, he pushed his closed disciple to the front desk, that is, this Tian Shuang.  He gave Tian Shuang the honor of building the first railway in Ming Dynasty, which can show his expectations and attention to Tian Shuang.  This can be regarded as his greatest legacy.  Zhu Cixiang couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad when he thought of his correspondence with Wang Zheng, the step-by-step journey from Technical College to Jingshi University, and even the awarding of the Kuixin Prize.  "Forget it, I can't go down anymore. Let's go back to Beijing after adding some coal." Zhu Cihong said.  Tian Shuang came out as ordered and immediately went to make arrangements.  There were only five princes left in the carriage.  Sitting around the emperor.  Zhu Hegui looked at his father and felt quite distressed.  He thought for a while and finally advised: "Father, please don't be sad. After all, Kui Xingong will be satisfied to see this train." Zhu Cixiang took a breath and said, "It's not sad.  It's just a loss." He paused and said, "A hero's only regret is probably that he can't see his career being accomplished. Before he died, Mr. Li was still worried about whether he would go down the same path of death.  They are all loyal ministers." The twelfth lunar month of Longjing's tenth year.  Li Yuzhi passed away, and an hour before his farewell, he met with a visiting official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to inquire in detail about the improvement and implementation of the examination method.  The official only paid an unexpected visit, and Li Yuzhi only intervened in political affairs this time after taking office. There seemed to be some divine will.  The Crown Prince knew that His Majesty the Emperor was depressed after hearing the news of Li Yuzhi's death, and today he learned that Wang Kui's death was approaching.  The originally lively trip has become depressing.  "Father, the posthumous title of Mr. Li Ge has not yet been agreed upon." Zhu Hegui said: "There seems to be quite a controversy between Wenzhong and Wenzheng." "Why didn't I know about this controversy?" Zhu Cihong asked rhetorically.  Zhu Hegui was a little surprised and said puzzledly: "The Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College have had a quarrel for a long time, and it was reported in the newspaper How could my father not know about it?" "What my father means is that there is no need to take this matter seriously!" The second son of the emperor  Zhu Heqi suddenly interjected: "It doesn't matter whether it's Wenzhong or Wenzheng, it depends on what they report in the end. If it doesn't suit the father's wishes, the father can naturally give him Wenzheng. This is called kindness coming from above; if it suits the father's wishes, the emperor can naturally give him Wenzheng."  , Naturally, this is what everyone expects." Zhu Hegui looked at his younger brother coldly and said, "Please show me if you are more presumptuous." Zhu Cixiang touched the back of the second child's head: "This.  It¡¯s not called being impudent, he can say it because he is worried about you as a brother.¡±  Zhu Hegui was quite reluctant, and his face became even more ugly.  Although no one said anything to him, he increasingly felt that his father's love for him was shared with his younger brothers.  Looking back at the time when he never left his father's side and played games with him, now the people who always followed his father have become the second and third children.  The third child is still young, let alone him, but the second child is getting more and more presumptuous, and quite a bit does not take him as an elder brother seriously.  Seeing that the boss looked bad, Zhu Cixiang said to Zhu Heqi: "In any case, there should be no barriers between brothers, but the way of a monarch and his ministers must be scrupulous. After all, your imperial brother is the deputy monarch, even if there is something that you can't worry about for a while.  "You should also pay attention to the way you give advice." "He, haha, there are so many things he doesn't care about," Zhu Heqi said carelessly, "You!" Zhu Hegui was about to get angry when he saw his father.  The emperor looked over and restrained himself from having an attack.  "What do you say?" Zhu Cixiang looked at the second child again.  "Last time I took the math test, he scratched his head for a long time. I threw the answer to him, but he didn't know how to copy it," Zhu Heqi said.  Zhu Cixiang nodded and said: "This is because your imperial brother is honest. Cheating in exams is not a glorious thing." Zhu Hegui's face felt warm and he said: "It is unwise to deceive yourself, and it is unwise to deceive your husband."  "Sincerity, deceiving my father is even more deceiving the emperor. You are really bold!" "Father, aren't these creeds created by rotten scholars? As a deputy king, why should I be bound by this?" Zhu Heqi said dissatisfied.  "What rotten scholars! They are all gentlemen! They are my husband and your husband!" Zhu Hegui had already shouted.  Zhu Cixiang held down his two sons and said, "Don't make any noise, my father has a headache." The child's voice was too loud.  The chatter really gives people a headache.  "First of all," Zhu Cihong turned to Zhu Heqi, "it is definitely wrong to call the gentlemen rotten Confucians. As descendants of China, how can we distinguish ourselves from the barbarians? It is because we have great etiquette, inner beliefs, and principles of life. These etiquettes  , beliefs, principles. These are the rules taught by gentlemen, to respect heaven and ancestors, to respect elders, to be filial to parents, to care for the young, to be sincere to others and so on. Once we abandon these frameworks, what will we have with the Donglu and the barbarians?  The difference?" Zhu Heqi curled his lips and lowered his head in silence.  "As for you." Zhu Cixi turned to the crown prince, "Why are your scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry so bad?" Zhu Hegui did not expect that his father would ask this, and it was difficult to answer for a while.  "Do you think that as long as you learn the way of a saint, you are enough to govern the country?" Zhu Cixiang didn't wait for his son to answer, and then said: "What is the foundation of the way of a university? The four words of studying things to achieve knowledge, mathematics, physics and chemistry are all the study of things, the purpose  It's still for the purpose of knowledge. If you can't study things, you won't be fooled in the end." Zhu Hegui lowered his head and thought to himself: I don't know what the gentlemen think.  It¡¯s really annoying to have a hundred-point system instead of using the good, excellent, average, and average!  When I become emperor, gentlemen will no longer be allowed to use the 100-point system to assess students.  In fact, the hundred-point system was implemented as early as the popularization of elementary education, but it was not adopted in religious education.  In earlier royal education, husbands were also ministers.  How do ministers judge their king and father?  Therefore, there is no examination at all. It is just that the teacher explains the content clearly so that the students can understand it.  The culprit behind the implementation of the 100-point system in religious studies was Zhu Cihong.  He found out from Mr. Zongxue that the liberal arts teacher had a high evaluation of the crown prince, but the science teacher had an average evaluation.  He even believed that the second prince's beauty was higher than that of the crown prince.  This is obviously a sign of partiality, but it has gone unnoticed because it is not strictly evaluated using a hundred-point system.  Since the second half of the 10th year of Longjing, the Zongxue School has also been conducting examinations and grading to understand the students' knowledge mastery.  As a result, the crown prince was brought back to his original form, and his performance in natural science subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry was very dangerous.  "I was wrong." Zhu Hegui readily admitted his mistake.  In his childhood experience, as long as he admitted his mistakes, his father would no longer blame him. This trick was tried and true.  "Don't laugh, your Chinese studies scores are also very problematic." Zhu Cixiang turned to the second child and said: "It's good to get 90% in history and geography, but why is it only 60% in ancient Chinese?" "The teacher is partial," Zhu He said, licking his neck  One joke, "They all took pictures of the emperor's horses and deliberately didn't give me high scores." Zhu Hegui was immediately unhappy and said: "You let your father read what you wrote. You are deviant and want to get high scores!" Zhu Cixiang glared  He glanced at his eldest son and said: "I really haven't read what you wrote, but I think you must have integrity. What did you write?" "That is, there are many chickens in the neighbor's house" Zhu Heqi  muttered in replyZhu Cixiang quickly realized that these were actually some fables mocking Mencius.  In "Mencius", there is a story about a man who steals his neighbor's chickens every day. When the man was told that stealing chickens is not a gentleman's way, he said: "Then I will steal one every month and wait until next year."  Mencius thought that since he knew that it was wrong to do so, why should he wait until next year?  It should be corrected quickly.  The intention of this story is good, but the key is that the second son of the emperor did not believe that his neighbor had so many chickens that could be stolen.  "There is also the beggar from Qi who married one wife and one concubine. He said that Mencius was lying. How could a beggar have so much money?" Zhu Hegui revealed.  Zhu Heqi¡¯s eyes drifted to the ceiling, obviously disapproving.  ¡°When you encounter such students, no wonder gentlemen have a headache.  "What did the gentlemen tell you?" Zhu Cihong asked.  "They said that this is just a metaphor and cannot be taken seriously." Zhu Heqi said.  "Indeed," Zhu Cixiang nodded, "In order to reason, Mencius would use exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of some behaviors. This cannot be said to be nonsense." "Isn't he a Yasheng? What if someone believes it to be true?" Zhu Heqi  Still truer.  "The sub-sage was conferred by later generations. As for some people distorting and misunderstanding the wisdom of the sages, it cannot be said that the sages were wrong." Zhu Cihong said.  Zhu Hegui was a little confused after hearing this, and thought to himself: His father's achievements in investigating objects are praised by the world, but how can he defend the sages falsely?  Didn¡¯t Grandpa Huang also say that his father¡¯s knowledge was not pure enough and he lacked respect for the sages?  "Anyway, I feel bored. I always use the words of this person and that person to lecture others." Zhu Heqi said: "If what you say makes sense, even if it is said by a eunuch, I will listen to it. Why bother to bring it up?" Zhu Cixiang  He smiled and said, "Your attitude is right." "Huh?" He Gui and Qi both sighed unexpectedly at the same time.  "The truth is put there, not because of who said it, but because it is the truth. If you obey this truth, you are good and I am good to everyone. If you violate this truth, the sky will be angry and people will blame everyone." Zhu Cixiang said: "The so-called saints and sages,  It is nothing more than summarizing this truth for people to see and enlightening the wisdom of the ignorant. "Zhu Heqi was very excited to get the support of his father. When he was about to say something deviant, Zhu Cihong had already stopped him with a slap.  His head: "But you are neither Confucius nor Mencius. It is obviously not because you have grasped a truer truth than Confucius and Mencius. It is just because you insist on going against what others say! If you are not Confucius and Mencius, at least understand what Confucius and Mencius are like first.  "What did they say?" "As for the Crown Prince," Zhu Cixi turned to his eldest son, "It's good that you are willing to study hard, but don't be a parrot. Only when you understand it yourself.  The world is changing. We can learn from history, but we must also take into account the differences in each era. For example, there are still great scholars who hope to restore the well-field system, because the well-field system was the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years. "In his view.  Come and restore the well-field system, you will restore people's hearts and allow the Ming Dynasty to continue for eighteen hundred years.  This starting point is certainly good, but can things from the Zhou Dynasty really be used now?  Don¡¯t talk about institutional changes, just talk about the environment. Did the Zhou Dynasty have trains?  In the Zhou Dynasty, North China was still rich in water and grass, but Chu State was already a hot and miasmatic land. What about now?  " Zhu Hegui knew that his father was talking about Liu Zongzhou, and also included many great scholars before Liu Zongzhou. He once thought that the well field system was a good system, but obviously his father did not agree. " Hegui, you are old too, and sometimes you can't  To simply listen to the truth, you must also practice the truth and understand the truth.  Zhu Cixiang said: "Remember what my father told you about the pony crossing the river, right?"  Doesn't it also say in the poem: What you see on paper will eventually make you feel shallow, and you will definitely know that you have to do it in detail.  " Zhu Hegui nodded and said, "I understand.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
