[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Zhu Houzhao talked for a long time, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

Although he is the prince of a country, as it is now, everyone surrounds him and listens carefully to his thoughts. This is something he cannot enjoy anywhere.

In front of his father, most of the time, his father looks impatient, and most of the time he even thinks he is messing around!

In front of people like Liu Jin, no matter what they said, they seemed to be listening attentively, but most of the time, what they got was just flattery against their will.

He said all his thoughts in one breath.

Some of the scholars nodded secretly, and some couldn't help saying: "We scholars put benevolence and righteousness first. This is the way in the heart that Mr. Wang said. But why do you treat the Tatars cruelly when you advocate benevolence and righteousness? In my opinion, we should educate them instead of resorting to violence against them, and many things that Xiao Zhu Xiucai said are very good, but unfortunately... there are still deviations from the understanding of the saints."

As soon as this remark came out, some people agreed.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of innocent people.

In fact, this is also understandable. After all, the vast majority of scholars are in a relatively comfortable environment. Taiping has been in peace for too long, and the border town is too far away for them.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't agree more, his face was flushed red: "Scholar's opinion."

That scholar was not afraid of Zhu Houzhao: "Young scholar Zhu, don't curse."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to continue to refute: "I..."

Wang Shouren kept pursing his lips and smiling, listened to their discussion, and finally said: "Xiao Zhu Xiucai said very well."

"..." Everyone was silent again.

All looked at Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren said slowly: "Have you forgotten the shame of Tumubao?"

This rhetorical question made everyone's expressions gradually change.

Wang Shouren learned soldiers and horses since he was a child, and it was because of the huge shame and shadow of the Tumu Fortress that he was shocked when he was young. Therefore, he learned the art of war and bow and horse since he was a child, and he hoped that one day he would be able to make a difference for the Ming Dynasty. former shame. When he grew up, he began to travel around the border towns, and even went to Juyongguan to explore the geography and ecology of the border towns.

Wang Shouren pulled his face and continued: "Before benevolence and righteousness, there are two characters of loyalty and filial piety. This kind of loyalty means not only being loyal to the emperor, but also being loyal to our ancestors. In the past few years, how many of our ancestors have been slaughtered?"

"In the battle of Tumubao, hundreds of thousands of troops were attacked and destroyed. The Tatars entered the customs and swept across the capital. There were many bones and blood flowed into the river. The first emperor of the Yingzong was captured by the Oala people. The great shame of this country is also the shame of the king. Also. Monarchs worry about humiliation, this is also the way of a sage. If we have forgotten such shame, then what is the point of insisting on the way in our hearts? The way of a sage is not only to comfort the people, but also to resist outsiders. How can we secure the people if we fight against the outside world?"

"I have been to Juyongguan. The military households there are extremely poor, and they all have pale faces. They hide in the fortress, and they may encounter large or small groups of Tatars at any time. If they are not careful, they will be buried in the In the desert."

"The Duke of Zhou made the rites of Zhou, and Confucius made the Spring and Autumn Period. Among the rites of Zhou, the north is called Di, and the south is called Man. The Di is a dog. The barbarian is a worm. The Duke of Zhou, who used the etiquette to promote benevolence, knows that the north is a wolf. There are many harmful insects in the south, and they should be conquered, so that the world can be stable. In the Spring and Autumn Period, what the saints most admired was the matter of Duke Huan of Qi's respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians. Respecting the king is loyalty, and fighting against barbarians is benevolence. To live and work in peace and contentment, not to be invaded by foreign invaders, to kill those who want to take the lives of the people, this is benevolence and righteousness, blindly preaching, using propriety and righteousness to deal with barbarians, this is a shame for a courtier, and it is also a shame for a scholar."

After everyone listened, they were all thoughtful. The scholar who satirized Zhu Houzhao earlier even turned red, and hurriedly said to Zhu Houzhao, "I'm ashamed."

Zhu Houzhao really admires Wang Shouren. Only such a person can be his teacher. Every word he said speaks to his heart.

The most frightening thing is that if you say what you say, others will ridicule you, but Mr. Wang is different. When Mr. Wang says the same thing, he can bring out Duke Zhou and Confucius. It suddenly dawned on him, and he looked like he was being taught.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and imitated the manner of a scholar, and bowed to the scholar.

In the past, he hated scholars the most. He felt that these people were chattering, but as Mr. Wang said, after he slowly got in touch with these scholars, he also knew that they were not bad. Although everyone has different ideas and sometimes quarrels, there are also many advantages. For example, no matter whether they quarrel red-faced or not, they will eventually salute, and whether they agree with each other or not, they will maintain a certain degree of tolerance.

This is completely different from my unreasonable father, and also different from Liu Jin's servants, who are all flattering.

Wang Shouren's face softened, and he continued: "So there are many ways to implement benevolent government, just like Zhang Xin mentioned by little Zhu Xiucai, even farming can benefit the world, you can also learn to bow and horse, respect the king and fight against barbarians, so I have always said that as long as we persist in the Tao and the conscience in our hearts, scholars should learn more and try more things. Tao is the end of our pursuit, and there are many ways to reach the end. Shennong tastes a hundred herbs , and got its way, all people in the world praise it. There is a nest built by the Chao family, which also makes the ancient ancestors fearless

The suffering of snakes and insects is also the way to obtain a sage, and people all over the world still praise it. The Suiren family drilled wood to make fire, or Tao. The Duke of Zhou made the rituals of the week, so is it not Tao? This way is the way of a sage, but it is not enough for the Duke of Zhou to do the rituals of the week. The merit of the Duke of Zhou is that he performed the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time conquered the disobedient officials from all directions, so that the chaotic officials had to be restrained by the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty. Own. "

"Therefore, the ancients said: 'King Wen has great virtues but has not accomplished his achievements; King Wu has great achievements but has not achieved governance. The Duke of Zhou has combined great virtues, great achievements and great governance in one body. However, King Wu was a man of great merit. He overthrew the rule of the merchants and established the Great Zhou, but Wenzhi was not enough. Only the Duke of Zhou, who combined Wenzhi and Wugong, made rituals and music, this is knowledge and stability. Four directions, this is called action, the unity of knowledge and action, isn't that what it is?"

Speaking of this, the solemnity on Wang Shouren's face has completely receded, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, instead of just talking about these big truths, why don't I dig the flue today, you already know it in your heart." , The way of a sage is already in your heart, if you want to gain more true knowledge, you still need to learn it slowly from your actions."

Zhu Houzhao became excited when he heard that the flue was going to be dug.

He heard Wang Shouren talk about the unity of knowledge and action, and gradually, the seeds were planted in his heart. What Mr. Wang said is really good, every sentence is in his heart.

Time passed slowly, and after a day of digging the flue, everyone was exhausted, even Wang Shouren was sweating profusely. Here, he praised little Zhu Xiucai again, Zhu Houzhao did a good job digging the flue, Many rules are also summarized.

Zhu Houzhao was quite proud of himself, but in the evening, two gentlemen Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen came. They made a special trip to let the scholars learn how to write stereotyped essays.

This is also Wang Shouren's arrangement. In his opinion, stereotyped writing is also a kind of practice, just like an oil seller. It is a skill and skill. enough.

Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan are good stereotyped writers, it's just right to have them teach.

Zhu Houzhao was not interested in writing stereotypes, he was about to bid farewell to the scholars, but at this moment, in the school, a group of schoolchildren swarmed out with book bags on their backs, and a group of people cheered.

Led by Xu Jie, a swarm of bees flocked to Zhu Houzhao's side.

Zhang Xiaohu put his hand in his mouth and sucked it hard, his fingers turned white from his sucking, then he bared his teeth hard and looked at little Zhu Xiucai.

"Little Xiucai Zhu, bring us the money and buy us dried potatoes."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but annoyed: "I am your dean."

Zhu Houzhao stared, trying hard to put on a serious look.

Xu Jie on the side crossed his hands, and said with a sneer, "Our Dean is His Highness the Crown Prince, with a face like a jade crown, wearing a python robe and a jade belt. You, a dark-skinned scholar, dare to call yourself the Dean."

"..."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help baring his teeth and said, "There are so many scholars here, why are you looking for me? Am I easy to bully?"

Xu Jie said wantonly: "Yes, you are the shortest!"

"..."

Isn't this despised?

Zhu Houzhao was furious immediately, unable to maintain his image of a scholar, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: "There is no law of kings and laws of heaven, you brats, dare to bully me, I will beat you twenty by myself ..."

...

After a stick of incense, Zhu Houzhao, who was tied up by five flowers, was dragged and dragged into the wine shop in dejection.

Xu Jie stood behind the counter with his hands crossed, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, three catties of dried potatoes, Xiao Zhu will pay the bill."

The shopkeeper moved his abacus, leaned over the counter, and looked at a group of high-spirited schoolchildren, who were looking hopefully at the various dried fruits on the container behind him!

The shopkeeper stroked his beard, and then looked at the well-tied little Zhu Xiucai, he couldn't help shaking his head: "You brats...hey, little Zhu Xiucai, are you okay?"

Zhu Houzhao yelled: "Is it so many people? If you are capable of one-on-one, I will beat them all to the ground. Oh, don't move your feet, I'm convinced, I'm convinced, can't I pay the bill? They are all scholars, everyone says reason."
