Fang Jifan did not look at Wang Shouren, but continued to speak seriously.

"Today, we are talking about catching criminals. To catch criminals, one must have a correct understanding of criminals. This is 'ge, the leader of the beggar gang in front of you is a traitor, and Wang San just now is also a traitor. In this Western Mountain, there are many former rebellious officials and thieves. What are the rebellious officials and thieves? Of course they are not things. But to eliminate the rebellious officials and thieves, relying on Jin Yiwei alone, they only know how to arrest people and only know how to torture them. It's over, it can't be over!"

He paused for a while, his eyes as clear as water scanned the crowd, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then spoke solemnly.

"I am here to teach you today. What I want to talk about is this truth. I want to tell you that rebellious officials and thieves are also human beings, and they are also flesh and blood. They also have to eat. They are afraid of pain and death. Rebellious officials and thieves, but if you want to wipe out rebellious officials and thieves, factory guards alone can't do it, what do you rely on?"

"The sage's book says that it depends on enlightenment. The sage is right. I admire him very much!"

"It's just... what the old man said is not wrong, but the rotten Confucians of later generations are wrong."

Everyone seemed very quiet, no one dared to make a sound, and they all listened very carefully.

Fang Jifan was a little bold, which was equivalent to pointing at the scholar's nose and swearing.

Fang Jifan didn't think too much, and continued.

"They think that the so-called enlightenment is to repeat to the common people, chanting the emperor, the minister, the father, the father and the son, so that the world will be peaceful. This... is so ridiculous. To be a parent and official, the first thing First, let people fill their stomachs. If people’s stomachs are not full, how many rebellious officials and thieves rebelled against the court in the past dynasties, how many sons deceived their fathers, and how many brothers turned against each other. Therefore, only the granaries know the etiquette , There is an old saying that one knows honor and disgrace when one has enough food and clothing.”

"You..." Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi and the others, seeing that they were all listening intently, a trace of joy flickered at the corner of their mouths.

"They are all my disciples, they are teachers, and they are people of high moral character..."

"..."

"You are about to become an official, and you have to be parents and officials, and serve the court. Today's lesson is to let you know that since you are an official, you should know the people. What are the people? The reason is that the people are ordinary flesh and blood just like you and me. They may not be as knowledgeable as you, but if they are hungry, they will die. When they are full, they will be docile when they see hope. This is a very simple truth. Understand this point, this official is easy to do. What is a good official? A good official is one who can turn rebels into obedient citizens like a teacher. What is a mediocre official? party."

"This prisoner... are you interested in going on stage to study it? Some people will come up."

"..."

"Okay." Fang Jifan shook his head, it seemed that no one came up to study, he sighed in his heart, then fixed his eyes on his disciples, and asked seriously: "Now, do you understand what I said?"

"..."

Ouyang Zhi and the others looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.

Fang Jifan regretted a little, regretting that he had forced all his disciples into logs.

Hey……

Just as Fang Jifan was sighing, a voice suddenly said: "I understand, the way is simple, and knowledge and action are one!"

From the avenue to simplicity...the unity of knowledge and action...

Fang Jifan was attracted by the sound, and suddenly he was a little dazed, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

But with his comprehension, he must have figured out something again.

The problem is... What he thinks may be different from what he wants to say.

who cares.

When Emperor Hongzhi was still the crown prince, he studied in Zhan Shifu, but he was always a strict scholar, instilling countless sayings and learning in himself.

It is unprecedented to personally arrest a prisoner like this and show up to speak out.

In particular, Wang San's confession prevented him from gnashing his teeth with hatred for these rebellious officials and thieves, and unexpectedly... felt a very sad feeling.

He couldn't help but sighed, and then stood up.

Everyone focused on him, their eyes were full of surprise, thinking that His Majesty's comprehension ability is really admirable.

Emperor Hongzhi stepped out of the school, and a fresh air rushed in, and Emperor Hongzhi came out from the almost suffocating smell of salted fish.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were cloudy, and he suddenly glanced sideways at Xiao Jing. At this moment, he was deeply touched and had a lot of thoughts. He raised his eyebrows deeply and asked sharply: "Like Wang How many people like San are there in the world?"

The corner of Xiao Jing's mouth trembled slightly, he muttered, not knowing how to answer, the next moment he hung his head guilty.

Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew, he couldn't answer it, and he didn't dare to answer it.

In fact, everyone understands the truth.

Is there no truth in the book that Fang Jifan said today?

No, such truths are everywhere in the book. Every sage book is filled with the so-called words that the people are the most important and the country is the least.

But... what's the use?

Emperor Hongzhi had read so many sage books, but today... such a simple truth really made him think.

After seeing Wang San and hearing Fang Jifan's "not very nutritious" words after Wang San, but he moved

Tolerated.

Looking at the submissive Xiao Jing, Emperor Hongzhi's complexion became ugly, his eyes looking at Xiao Jing showed a bit of displeasure.

Xiao Jing's heart trembled, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in the end, he still bite the bullet and said: "Your servant... I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, and said sharply: "Of course you don't know, tens of thousands of factory guards are not as good as one Fang Jifan."

This sentence was too heartbreaking, both Xiao Jing and Mou Bin showed shame, lowered their heads, and didn't even dare to lift their eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Western Mountain, took a deep breath, and then sighed deeply.

"Fang Jifan has meritorious deeds in arresting the imperial criminals. But his merit is not limited to this, but lies in the fact that he turned the rebels into docile citizens."

Xiao Jing and Mou Bin buried their heads, still not daring to vent their anger.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced elsewhere, and said emotionally: "It's too easy to kill thieves. If you want to kill mere thieves, isn't it easy to catch them? But, if you want to get rid of the thieves in people's hearts, you must let these thieves no longer have the heart to make trouble." , This is not an easy task. Look at that Wang San, was that Wang San born a thief? Why did he become a thief? But in the end, why did he become a good citizen?"

The rhetorical questions in this sentence point to the point.

But...Xiao Jing and Mou Bin did not dare to answer his words, they continued to listen with their heads down.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to know that he would not get a response, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and glanced at the two people beside him, seeing Xiao Jing and Mou Bin hanging their heads, both looked trembling.

He couldn't help feeling emotional.

"So, it is easy to destroy a thief, but it is difficult to destroy a thief in a person's heart. It is just like killing people and punishing their hearts, how easy it is to kill. People are convinced, Qing and others...are not as good as Fang Jifan."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

Xiao Jing's heart was sour, but he didn't dare to say a word, because he was not as good as Fang Jifan in this matter.

Mu Bin felt as if he was holding his breath, but he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Behind him, in the school, Fang Jifan seemed to have finished his last lecture, and then he heard his roar: "Applause..."

Time seemed to freeze for a while.

Finally, it seemed that Fang Jifan was the first to clap his hands, so warm applause came out.

The warm applause was exceptionally loud, lingering in people's ears.

"..."

With his hands behind his back, Emperor Hongzhi stood in front of the school, which was not paved with bricks and was somewhat muddy after the rain. His boots were already stained with mud, but he didn't care.

Until many people came out in twos and threes, the first one came out was Zhu Houzhao, his palms were all red, and Lao Fang still had to give face, so he applauded very vigorously.

He seemed very excited, not because of what he had learned in this class, but... He was surprised to find that the "nonsense" with Fang Jifan in the past, unexpectedly harvested, there was even the gratitude of the rebellious party .

A leader of the beggar gang calls himself a benefactor, and he can boast for a lifetime just thinking about it.

This is much more interesting than chopping off an enemy's head.

But when he came out, he saw Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi stood with his hands behind his back, and his whole person looked holy and majestic in the sun. Zhu Houzhao immediately looked like a concubine, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he dared not approach him.

Recently, the emperor's temper has been a bit tyrannical, and he doesn't want to provoke it.

Even though he didn't do anything, his father would still target him, so he better not get into trouble.

Then, Fang Jifan came out, and behind him was Li Chaowen, a master of Hongfa.

Li Chaowen was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to be alone with Fang Jifan, so he followed Fang Jifan's footsteps cautiously, and praised in a low voice: "Master, that's really good."

Xu Jing and Tang Yin were standing shoulder to shoulder, and they had already heard Li Chaowen's words. They couldn't help but glanced at Li Chaowen in disgust, and spat: "Bah, you shameless sycophant."

The three of Ouyang Zhi, as usual, were honest and friendly, their reactions were often a little slower than others, and they were only now beginning to digest what their mentor said.

Wang Shouren was at the end. His eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Fang Jifan's back. At this moment, he felt that his head was about to explode.

He seemed to have caught something, but this fleeting flash of light was suddenly far away and near. When he went out, he stumbled on the threshold and staggered, but he didn't seem to care, he just threw himself on him Dust, continue to walk aimlessly, walking, farther and farther, actually in a trance, heading for the distance.
