Chapter 218: Please enlighten me

Faced with Emperor Apocalypse’s inquiry, Zhang Jin was a little confused.

In fact, he himself couldn't tell what he had learned in the military academy.

In the military academy, it seems that there is no intention to teach any great principles.

Even cultural courses are basically the simplest calculations and reading and writing.

Of course, there is a small magazine in the school.

They copy some ordinary knowledge and use it as lecture notes for cultural courses, and also serve as copybooks for practicing calligraphy.

Even in running script, there is no professor.

Because the charcoal pens are used in military academy, no one will give you a brush to use.

He thought for a while and replied: "Train daily, occasionally read, and sometimes do things within his ability."

"That's all?" Emperor Tianqi seemed very surprised and then said, "Isn't anyone here to teach any knowledge?"

Emperor Apocalypse was indeed surprised.

Just such a little thing makes you change your temper?

In fact, when Emperor Tianqi asked, many people listened with their ears.

Everyone also wants to know what secrets are there in this military academy.

But Zhang Jin's answer is really disappointing.

Zhang Jin replied seriously: "Yes, that's all."

Emperor Aoki thought to himself: "This has confused me."

Zhang Jinze said: "Maybe...it is precisely because of these learning within their ability that is precious."

"Hmm?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jin suspiciously.

Zhang Jinze said: "For me, I am pampered since I was a child, so I inevitably have a high opinion of myself. I have always felt that I am great, just like my father... My father doesn't like studying on weekdays, but I have always felt that my father has all kinds of criticisms. I feel that my father is far less profound than those noble scholars. But now I know that there are too many knowledge in the world. What students lack the most is not that they are not diligent enough in their knowledge, nor that they read less. What students lack is precisely those inconspicuous trivial things."

Zhang Guoji, who had been silently paying attention to his son and the emperor, never expected that Zhang Jin would mention him at this time, and he was slightly stunned.

But he heard Zhang Jin say, "In fact, those little things that are not worth mentioning imply true knowledge. Students have planted trees, brushed boots, and folded bedding in military academy. I have to run morning, eat with others, and sleep with others every day. Not to mention anything else, just planting trees is a great knowledge. I once read a poem, and two of them are the food on the plate, and every grain is hard to do."

"At that time, I felt that this poem of compassion for farmers was well written, but I couldn't tell what it was. After planting things myself, I realized how mysterious it is to plant things, take good care of them, and wait for harvests as time goes by. This tree may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of those who plant it, it is like a child. If this tree is affected by disaster, then the countless hardships it has been put into nothing suddenly, which is particularly painful. In the world, I think there are gains and losses.

But I never lost anything before, because even if I lost it is not my own thing. Now, I have experienced the ups and downs of the military academy and have gained and lost, and only then can I realize that the difficulties in the world and the things in this world can be explained by one or two slanderous truths. Therefore, I understand more clearly that the four words "self-cultivation and practice" mentioned by the saint are not hanged in my mouth, but allow future students to be truly agile in their actions and realize the great way through their actions."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jin's expression seemed particularly sincere. He continued: "So, I am quite ashamed so far. I have indeed read many books, but I have only known empty talk and wasted countless time. Now I really do a few small things seriously, but I am far inferior to my classmates. Therefore, I need to chase them up and study hard in the military academy. I dare not speak out about governing the country and pacifying the world. I hope that I can do the few small things right now, and this trip will be worthwhile in this life."

Zhang Jingyi sat at another table and listened carefully, but couldn't help but be stunned.

Damn... A top student is a top student!

I run a military academy and don’t know that there are so many truths in my courses. He has learned so many "superior principles" from the military academy.

Zhang Guoji listened and nodded with relief, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. If it were the past, he would never have thought that his son would be able to say this.

Emperor Tianqi heard this and became interested, and said, "These words are exactly what I say. I have been ascending the throne for so many years. I have been thinking that even the best national policy cannot be implemented for so many years? Could it be that my national policy is wrong? If it is wrong, it is not right, because the national policy has not been truly implemented. But... why can't it be implemented? After all, civil and military officials in the court have more people talked about empty words and talked loudly, and few people really worked hard."

Speaking of this, Emperor Tianqi was a little angry and said, "If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about Liaodong. The governor of Liaodong Yuan Chonghuan has repeatedly written letters, often pacifying Liao for several years. As long as this is the case, I find it ridiculous to see his memorials! I know that some of his proposals are unrealistic, but he is still open and honest. What's even more terrifying is that Yuan Chonghuan and other officials are already considered officials. He is at least one of the areas and knows the situation in Liaodong. He is still a person who can do things. But even such officials who are independent are still like this, and they are empty talk and unrealistic. He only thinks about the way to govern the country and pacify the world, and must continue his past unique skills. But once specific matters are involved and those small things are encountered, he feels disgusted. The court, the country and the country are full of such people. How can the country govern it?"

The Emperor of Apocalypse became more and more excited as he spoke. At this time, Zhang Jin seemed to resonate with Emperor of Apocalypse.

In other words, Zhang Jin's words also inspired Emperor Aoqi to some extent.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi continued with emotion: "Talking about a thousand ways and ten thousand ways. My ministers, not to mention those who are in high positions, are the humble Hanlin and the censor, or the ministers of the court. Everyone compares themselves with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and everyone regards themselves as Zhuge Kongming and wants to be famous and famous! But... no one is obedient to do something, even if they do a very small thing, they can't bear to leave this posture, but they can still be proud of themselves. This may be the biggest disadvantage at the moment."

Emperor Tianqi was such a smart person. I learned from one example and immediately realized enlightenment!

At this moment, he unconsciously emitted light and continued excitedly: "It's good to be here for Donglin Military Academy. It doesn't teach people the great principles of governing the country and pacifying the world, nor does it teach people to be famous generals and ministers, but it is in line with the four words of self-cultivation and practice. Only such a school can truly cultivate talents."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he quickly looked at Zhang Jingyi, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Such a high evaluation is rare.

Zhang Jingyi quickly stood up and came forward, saying seriously: "Your Majesty's words... are true and even reasonable. I have been moved after hearing Your Majesty's words. In fact... it is true. What I am thinking about is that I want to run a school. There is less Guan Zhong and Leyi in this school. It is not that Guan Zhong and Leyi are not good, but that if a person cannot even do small things well, how can he do so many big things like these famous generals and ministers? Your Majesty's words express my heart, I..."

In fact, if Emperor Tianqi doesn’t say it, Zhang Jingyi doesn’t know that the military academy has such great significance.

At the beginning, he just wanted to build a military school.

Zhang Jingyi was walking down the road at this time: "I also felt a lot...but there are very few people in this world who can understand my good intentions. Since the military academy was built, there are countless people who slandered me. I... I probably laughed it off, but I was afraid that Your Majesty would not know my painstaking efforts. Today, I was really moved by your Majesty and couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty knows me."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but be moved after hearing Zhang Jingyi's words.

He did not understand it very much in the past, but now... he probably understands it, and then he realizes that Zhang Jingyi is not easy.

So he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but listened to Zhang Jing: "As the saying goes, a soldier dies for his confidant. All the people in the world, and those who know him are your majesty. I should go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and I must run this military academy well and cultivate talents. I dare not say that I will share your worries for Your Majesty, but even if I can do more, I will definitely use all my strength."

Emperor Aoki was very moved.

It is rare to say so many touching words to others. If there are a few more people like Zhang Jingyi in the world, what else can I worry about?

So Emperor Tianqi said in a move: "Okay, okay, this statement is exactly what I say."

Zhang Jing said again: "Your Majesty knows my good intentions and also pays expectations for the military academy. This just now has even pointed out the essence of the military academy. I... I have a reluctant request."

Emperor Aoki said in surprise: "But it's okay."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty's words just now are really admirable. The students are clumsy and can't say so many truths. Most of the teachers in the military academy... are of varying quality. If Your Majesty has free time, condescend to the military academy and teaches the people, just teach these principles, this will be of great benefit to those students, and I am afraid that they will benefit endlessly for life."

After saying that, Zhang Jingyi seemed hesitant again: "But... Your Majesty is the noble of the Nine Five, and it is so noble. How can I have such a luxury? Your Majesty regards this request as a joke and just laugh it off."

This is what is called playing hard to get.

Zhang Jingyi had already made up his mind to take two classes. As long as he tricked him, he had just left after the class, and Zhang Jingyi dared to hang out a sign that welcomed His Majesty's lecture.

Are you still afraid of this Donglin Military Academy having no future in the future?
