Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne From the Start!

Chapter 114 Lan Yu Tells of His Shame, Fang Xiaoru Makes Preparations

Chapter 114 Lan Yu talks about shame, Fang Xiaoru takes the lead!

"In a country of thousands of chariots, whoever kills its king will have a house of thousands of chariots; in a country of thousands of chariots, whoever kills its king will have a house of hundreds of chariots. If you take a thousand chariots from a thousand chariots, you will get a hundred chariots from a thousand chariots, it is not too much... "

Recite it to the middle of the text, where the emotions are expressed.

A group of kids raised their heads, shook their heads and raised their voices.

A clear childish voice.

Childish face.

Amid the vitality, there is a little more high-spirited and wanton arrogance than before.

Xu Miaoyun looked at it, tilted her head slightly and approached Zhu Di, smiled and whispered, "Look at the children's faces, do they have the high-spiritedness of young people or the wanton madness of scholars?"

"Everyone's personality is different, but as long as they are immersed in the emotions conveyed by the text, they will behave similarly."

"This is what a true scholar should be like."

"When reading, forget about fame and wealth, have no distracting thoughts, and be completely immersed in the emotions rendered by the words. Only in this way can you truly resonate with the ancients and truly learn the true meaning and essence conveyed by the words."

"I hope that no matter what they do in the future, whenever they pick up a book in their spare time, they can do this without any distracting thoughts and be completely immersed in it."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's face full of smiles, Zhu Di tilted his head slightly and smiled lowly: "This is all thanks to Mr. Xu's good teaching."

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned slightly red, "Mr. Zhu's contribution is also great."

"...the people want to die with them. Even though there are birds and beasts in the pond, how can they be happy alone!"

Just as Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were communicating in low voices, the children's recitation stopped neatly.

Bang bang bang!

Xu Miaoyun applauded happily.

She had no reason to be unhappy.

These children work really hard and cherish the opportunity to learn.

She hasn't finished telling "University" yet.

"Mencius" has more than 30,000 words in total, and children can already memorize more than 3,000 words!

"You are all working hard, sir, I am very happy." Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "It will be good to maintain the current study progress and seriousness."

"China has a history of thousands of years, and our ancestors have left us a vast number of classic books."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bookshelf next to the school.

The bookshelf was made by Zhu Di.

There are books that Xu Miaoyun brought from the Xu Mansion. They selected the ones suitable for children to read and placed them here.

"Do we have many books in the reading corner of our school?"

The children immediately responded with laughter.

"many!"

"I can't finish it! I can't finish it at all!"

Zhu Di was amused by these naughty children.

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "But these books are only a very small part. My husband has a large library in his home, which contains thousands of books."

"I heard that there are more books stored in the palace's library, probably tens of thousands, or even more."

"These are treasures left by our ancestors to future generations."

"You have to study hard but don't be impatient or eager for success. We must always maintain our passion for reading. If we read now, when we grow up, we should also use this enthusiasm to read in our spare time."

Effort is good.

But she is worried that the children are now ignorant, unstable, eager for success, and too impatient to exhaust their enthusiasm for reading.

Human life is both short and long.

It depends on how to use it.

She hopes that these children will always maintain a thirst for knowledge and a passion for reading.

When I grow up in the future, I will continue to be passionate about reading in my spare time.

Even if they are not as good as some geniuses, as long as they can learn a little bit from the wisdom left by their ancestors every day.

Over time, you will surely become a more and more wise person.

Even more than those geniuses who are entangled in the world and lose their enthusiasm for reading!

"Master's wife, we remember it." After Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, the Pi children replied loudly.

Zhu Di smiled and asked: "We have learned an article before, which is similar to your teacher's wife's teachings. Who can recite it?"

"You can't reach a thousand miles without accumulating steps..." After thinking for a short time, the children all said in unison, "A horse can't reach ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten steps without giving up..."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile at each other.

Bang bang bang...

As soon as the high-spirited childish voices finished, sudden applause rang out from behind a closed door outside the temple.

The children all turned their heads.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun followed the sound...

Fang Xiaoru was a little embarrassed and walked out from behind the door...

Entering Tuqiao Village, Zhu Silang was shocked even before he saw him.

In order to observe this couple and their students, he chose a method that was ungentlemanly and not aboveboard.

Hide behind the door and peek through the crack!

Although the behavior is not aboveboard, it is worth it!

This sight shocked him so much!

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other.

Zhu Di whispered: "You give the children clothes and books, and I will go and take a look."

After all, go out...

When they met head-on, Fang Xiaoru took the lead and clasped his fists, "It must be Mr. Zhu, right?"

"Student Fang Xizhi."

"The study tour passed by Tuqiao Village, and I just asked Brother Xu for water. I was very hungry, but shamelessly ate the breakfast cooked by Mr. Zhu."

"Unintentionally, I owe Mr. Zhu a favor, and I don't know how to repay him."

Worried that Zhu Di would know his name, Fang Xiaoru only gave his first name.

Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a meal. As long as I can, I will help you. Don't take it to heart."

Fang Xiaoru only reported words.

Zhu Di really didn't recognize that the guy in front of him was the one whose ten clans were exterminated by "him".

He remembered the kindness of a meal.

His impression of this scholar changed a little.

When he saw him coming out from behind the door just now, to be honest, he was instinctively resistant.

"I am also from Jiangning. I have heard of some of Mr. Zhu's deeds. Mr. Zhu, do you have time to answer some of my doubts?" Fang Xiaoru asked tentatively.

My deeds?

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh, "I am just a country bumpkin, I don't have much deeds, but we can discuss it together."

"You are not busy?"

"No, no." Fang Xiaoru shook his head hurriedly, laughing in his heart: I took a day off just to observe you! Dig out your secrets!

"Wait until my wife gives clothes and books to the children, and we will find a quiet place to chat."

Fang Xiaoru also curiously followed to the school gate.

"Thank you, Master's wife."

Chunxiao was very happy holding a set of Confucian clothes and a collection of Han Changli in both hands.

Xu Miaoyun poked the little girl's forehead with a smile and reminded her: "You should thank your parents. The clothes are made by their hard work of planting cotton, spinning cloth, and sewing them. The book is a gift from Mr. Xu to you. You gave her a wreath, and she gave you this book. I hope you can learn wisdom from it."

"Well! I will definitely live up to Mr. Xu's expectations. Girls should also read more! Chunxiao will never forget the kindness of her parents."

After Chunxiao finished speaking solemnly, she turned around, smiled and jumped in front of Zhu Di, holding clothes and books, and bowed: "Thank you, Master."

...

Fang Xiaoru looked at the children one by one, holding clothes and books, and always came to Zhu Di to bow and thank him.

A solemn look flashed in his eyes

'These children are very grateful to the King of Yan and his wife! '

He knew very well what the behavior and emotions of these children meant!

These children are willing to sacrifice their lives for the King of Yan and his wife!

At least that's the case now!

Once these children have learned something...

Zhu Di didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't know that Fang Xiaoru had thought so much in such a short moment.

When the children received their clothes, returned and sat down, and couldn't wait to look through the "Han Changli Collection", he and Xu Miaoyun smiled at each other and turned around, "Brother Xizhi, let's go to the next room."

Fang Xiaoru came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly to follow.

Before leaving, he turned his head and looked at the high-spirited children in the room with a serious look.

Xu Miaoyun accidentally caught Fang Xiaoru's eyes and frowned slightly.

She always felt that there was a wariness in his eyes, and even a hint of hostility!

...

After Zhu Di entered the room, he looked for a teapot and greeted him with a smile: "Don't be polite, sit down."

While speaking, he came over with a teapot, filled the tea bowl, and handed it over...

Fang Xiaoru hurriedly reached out to take it, took a sip, and pretended to smile casually: "Mr. Zhu taught well, these children are willing to sacrifice their lives for you and your wife."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, paused for a moment while pouring tea for himself, and then continued, pouring tea while speaking.

"The children are indeed grateful to us. I don't want them to sacrifice their lives for us, nor will I ask them to do these things."

"My wife and I hope that they can learn something, use the knowledge they have learned, and face their future lives calmly."

"Instead of using the knowledge they have learned to serve us."

Fang Xiaoru observed carefully, not missing any subtle expressions on Zhu Di's face.

'Is it really like the prince said, Zhu Silang's original intention of running a school was just to prevent Xu Miaoyun from working in the fields? ’

Before this, he agreed with the views of his colleagues in the East Palace: Zhu Silang's original intention of running a school was just an excuse for him to endure and cultivate his power!

But just now, he observed.

Zhu Silang was frank.

"Mr. Zhu, I am pedantic." Fang Xiaoru admitted his mistake with a guilty face.

'It is indeed unexpected. Let's assume that you are not interested in competing for the throne as the prince judged. '

The test just now was just inspired by seeing those children.

It was not the purpose of his trip.

Since he asked the prince yesterday and the prince agreed.

He asked his colleagues in the East Palace about Zhu Silang's deeds.

He also visited Lü Ben and Lan Yu.

When the two heard that he was going to Tuqiao Village, they told him everything they knew.

Lan Yu even told the details of the humiliation of Tuqiao Village!

Lan Yu, who was unruly and valued his reputation above all else, told him all about this great humiliation in detail just to make him understand Zhu Silang better.

He hoped that he could dig out more secrets from Zhu Silang!

At this moment, Lan Yu and Lu Ben were waiting for his news in Jinling City.

He had made sufficient preparations for today's meeting.

Concentrating his thoughts and breathing silently, Fang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Recently, there was a rumor in the Jiangning government that Mr. Zhu was going to set up a local village in Tuqiao Village. Although my family is in Jiangning, my family has some business dealings with the dignitaries in Jinling City."

"According to rumors, Mr. Zhu's local village has been valued by the court."

"And, the right prime minister Hu Weiyong strongly supports it."

Hu Weiyong supports the local village?

Zhu Di frowned slightly. This was the first time he heard of this news.

"Are you sure?" Zhu Di's question was sudden and loud.

Fang Xiaoru was startled. Seeing Zhu Di frowning slightly and looking a little serious, he couldn't help but wonder.

‘With Hu Weiyong’s support, plus your majesty, the crown prince, and the left prime minister Xu Da, the rural community idea has a high chance of success in the world. If it succeeds, even if he doesn’t fight for the throne, he can still be remembered in history for this achievement. Shouldn’t he be happy? ’

Fang Xiaoru was puzzled and cautiously tested, “Mr. Zhu, isn’t it good if Prime Minister Hu supports it?”
