Chapter 415 Worry!
"teacher?"
Zhou Quan saw Gu Jingzhi looking at the girl's back, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "What are you doing?"
The tone was quite uneasy. Gu Jingzhi came to his senses immediately after hearing the voice. Looking at Zhou Quan's expression, he said meaningfully: "His Majesty has high hopes for your Highness. You should be more careful in some matters in the future!"
As he spoke, he looked at his messy clothes again.
Zhou Quan looked down and his face flushed red. "Teacher, I will never forget what you taught me!"
"hehe!"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head and chuckled, "I wouldn't call it teaching. I hope Your Highness doesn't mind me being long-winded!"
"Teacher, why do you say that? Today it is the student Meng Lang who is the one who is making trouble!"
Zhou Quan said seriously.
What he said was not false. As Qiao Shuwan's eldest son, his respect for Gu Jingzhi was absolutely unfounded. After all, this was the result of Qiao Shuwan's frequent admonitions.
In fact, he was relieved to hear that Gu Jingzhi was just giving him instruction. He originally thought that Gu Jingzhi had been staring at Qingxuan for other reasons, but he didn't expect that he was just warning him not to indulge in matters between men and women!
Thinking of Qingxuan, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly put it aside and asked, "Teacher, is there something important that brought you here today?"
"It's not a big deal!"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Firstly, it was His Majesty's instruction, and secondly... I have some questions I would like to ask Your Highness!"
When Zhou Quan heard this, he immediately said seriously, "Teacher, please tell me what you are talking about!"
"emmm..."
Gu Jingzhi said seriously: "Your Highness has been supervising state affairs for the past month, but every time I see it, Your Highness is very..."
He glanced at Zhou Quan, not knowing how to describe it, and finally asked, "Your Highness, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"This……"
Zhou Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, you have a keen eye. I'm really not familiar with politics. At first... I even had some trouble understanding!"
This……
Gu Jingzhi was a little surprised: "Don't you understand?"
It wasn't that he was being overly surprised. Generally speaking, although sixteen-year-olds were immature, they could still say a few words, even if it was nonsense. But Zhou Quan simply said that he didn't understand...
"Your Highness, could you elaborate?"
Gu Jingzhi wasn't making a fuss; he simply couldn't comprehend the extent of this incomprehensible situation!
In theory, as the heir to a country, he should have learned the art of being an emperor at his age.
Gu Jingzhi didn't expect him to understand all the court affairs, but he should at least understand some simple ones!
Zhou Quan said, "It's nothing special. I just feel that many of the things the court officials discuss politics have little to do with what students are reading! For example..."
Zhou Quan listed several cases, all of which were state affairs that had been discussed by court officials recently.
Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, are you just comparing these with the book?"
"Ok!"
Zhou Quan nodded and said, "These are the books that Dr. Wen usually asks his students to read. However, I don't understand. The recent government affairs in the court seem to be the same as the actions in the books, but I always feel that they are different. Therefore, I can't understand..."
"..."
Gu Jingzhi is a bit Muggle!
Seeing his silence, Zhou Quan immediately asked, "Teacher, but, but the student..."
"Uh……"
Seeing his cautious look, Gu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't panic, Your Highness. This is not your problem!"
"Why is that?"
"Your Highness, have you ever heard a saying?"
Gu Jingzhi sighed and said, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
"???"
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles...
But he was in the deep palace, how could he travel thousands of miles?
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi immediately knew that he had misunderstood and could not help but say, "This is just a metaphor. When I say 'travel thousands of miles', I don't mean that Your Highness should travel far to study!"
"However, what you learn from books is ultimately shallow. You must truly experience this yourself... Although the books you read are classics passed down by our ancestors, times are changing, and the books of our ancestors can only serve as a reference!"
"This is no different from national policy. The simplest examples are taxes and land policies! Over the years, these have been constantly changing, often with the collapse of one system leading to the emergence of a new one!"
"Your Highness is using knowledge that is not suitable for this era to govern the world. How can you find the answer?"
"It is better to have no books than to believe everything in them..."
Gu Jingzhi sighed softly.
He was really curious about how this Dr. Wen that Zhou Quan mentioned taught people? In just a few short years, he had made Zhou Quan so dull!
The key point is that this is the most critical period for Zhou Quan's mental growth. If he is not taught well at this age, he will be ruined!
It would be fine if this happened in an ordinary citizen's home, but this is the crown prince of a country, the heir to Daxia!
Gu Jingzhi looked at his level and found that he was not even as good as a county magistrate!
Hearing Gu Jingzhi's words, Zhou Quan's expression changed slightly, and he asked anxiously: "Teacher, what should the students do?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Besides studying with the Eastern Palace tutor, has His Majesty arranged for anyone else?"
"This……"
Zhou Quan thought for a moment and said, "At first, there were Imperial Academy tutors, but later on, it was all Dr. Wen and his companions!"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say!
Zhou Quan looked at his expression and felt something was wrong. He asked, "Teacher, is there something wrong here?"
"That's not a problem!"
Gu Jingzhi's smile was a little bitter.
no problem?
There is a big problem here!
He never expected that during these four years, not only was he consolidating his power, but those who were hiding in the dark were not spared either!
The new policy is in power in the court and is in the limelight.
However, unexpectedly, Emperor Wen was negligent in educating his successor.
This is definitely not a normal thing. You must know that the education of a country's crown prince is absolutely of great importance to the country, but now this prince seems to be off track with the government!
He couldn't tell whether it was a misunderstanding or someone did it on purpose, but judging from his own intuition, it was definitely someone who did it on purpose.
A prince who doesn't understand government affairs... Considering Zhou Quan's current age, it's not a big deal. After all, he can still be taught slowly.
But if the ruling ideas deep in the mind of this crown prince are different from his current ones, then what problems will happen after he takes the throne?
Gu Jingzhi didn't dare to think about it!
Looking through the history books of the previous life, the most famous person is none other than Zhu Yunwen. Speaking of this person... his failure was due to his education. Because of the different education he received, he acted in a perverse manner after he came to power!
If it weren't for his wise and talented uncle, who knows what would have become of the Ming Dynasty?
How similar is Zhou Quan's current situation to Zhu Yunwen's?
