Yan Zhenzhi naturally remained silent at this time, as there was no need to participate in some of the topics. Sometimes, letting things go in one ear and out the other is not without its merits, and it is a quality that a wise minister should possess.
Just then, a boy ran into the Wuying Hall, "Great-grandfather, father, what did you call us here for? We wanted to write a poem today, but a huge frog just disappeared with a plop!"
Zhu Yunying gritted his teeth and scolded irritably, "Be a little more composed! This is the Wuying Hall, not the Qianqing Palace where you can act recklessly!"
Listen to this, the Wuying Hall is supposed to be more solemn. But the Qianqing Palace is Emperor Zhu's bedroom, yet it's a place where one can be so unrestrained.
However, Zhu Yunying's anger and embarrassment may very well stem from his beloved son, who could very well be a "tiger father, dog son." Even if Zhu Yunying didn't write poetry, everyone knew that Emperor Yingshi was a talented poet; how could he be considered a "failed educator"?
Old Zhu beamed and said to Little Zhu, "Come here, our Yin'er did well at school today. We've heard that many professors say that our Yin'er has mastered the books."
As long as they understand it, that's enough. Whether it's the old Zhu or the young Zhu, we don't expect the young Zhu to be a polymath; understanding some principles is sufficient. If they actually raised a Confucian emperor, the old Zhu and the young Zhu would be heartbroken.
Zhu Yunying stopped joking and said to the young Zhu, "I brought you here today so you could hear what I'm saying. You are the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you will govern the country in the future. I won't let you observe politics now, but there are some things you should know."
Old Zhu, who had been holding Little Zhu while sitting on the dragon throne, let go and said to Little Zhu, "You stand to the side, listen and think. If you don't understand something, don't speak. We'll talk to you later. Listen and learn first, understand?"
Little Zhu immediately nodded and stood obediently to the side, because this was a formal occasion.
