First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The various decrees of the imperial court recently have stepped on their foundation. Even in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, they have never suffered such grievances. It is the practice of all dynasties to receive preferential treatment for scholars.

Now everyone in Jiangnan, where the Wei Guan case is aroused, is at risk, and the elimination of officials in the south and the officials in the north will make the official circle suffer.

Not to mention the emperor who ordered these things to be implemented, officials of the sixth rank and above in the court who have not been sent to prison are not ridiculed by scholars. Free from public opinion.

It’s just that there are relatively few, and there are many fans who explain to him outside, just like Song Lian, who will explain to Zhu Biao over and over again when they meet along the way. It is hoped that Song Lian's entry into Beijing can persuade the emperor.

After the salute, Song Lian pulled up the disciples one by one, and he would not completely ignore the rest of the students who came to greet him just because Zhu Biao was there. At his age, the power and wealth are already gone.

Even if he dies immediately, there will be articles passed down through the ages. Treating Zhu Biao's heart is not because this disciple enjoys glory and wealth, but because he has placed great expectations on the prince. He grew up in troubled times and knows what the people of the world are going through I hope that someone can end the troubled times, and even more hope that someone can rule the world in peace...

Encouraging a group of tearful disciples, Old Master Song cheered up and greeted a group of officials who came to greet him, and then greeted the old friends who came to greet him spontaneously. Although he is older, he is still a gentleman.

Half an hour later, it was temporarily over. Zhu Biao helped the old master get into his car, and the others got into the other car consciously. Zhu Biao took the food box handed over by the female officer, and with a few crisp whips Ming, the mighty prince Yijia returns.

The old master's complexion was a little pale, and it was really too much for a person of this age to waste his energy with all kinds of people along the way.

Zhu Biao opened the food box and said: "This is specially prepared by the queen mother, just because I am worried that the master will not be able to bear it, so the master should hurry up and use some."

Song Lian smiled and nodded in response: "Thanks to the empress's concern, the holy empress Ren Deze is under the world, the old minister is really hungry at this time."

Zhu Biao handed over the bamboo chopsticks and poured a cup of warm rice wine: "It's the fault of the disciple that the master came in such a hurry..."

Song Lian ate a few mouthfuls of food and sipped his wine, then closed his eyes for a moment, and his face turned a little rosy. He probably finally arrived at the place and saw Zhu Biao again, and his mind calmed down.

"It's okay for the old minister to run around a bit, but the incident in the south of the Yangtze River is too big, and the world's literati are watching. It's not a long-term way for His Highness to avoid living in the East Palace. No matter what the Holy Majesty's plan is, His Highness should come forward."

Zhu Biao was a little surprised, and thought that Mr. Song would persuade him anyway. After all, this matter involved a lot, and it was not without Song Lian's disciples and their relatives.

Song Lian looked in the direction of the capital and said: "The old minister is just a scholar, not a talent for governing the country. The holy man is talented in both human and military affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a born emperor. He dares to risk the world without violating it. It has a deep meaning, the old minister will not talk too much, but His Highness is different from the Holy One after all, His Highness must be clear about this point."

"The Holy Majesty is the founding emperor of the country. He is self-taught, and he has made great contributions to the Han people. No matter what he has done in history, his contribution cannot be concealed. His Highness is only the future successor."

Zhu Biao naturally knew the influence of Lao Zhu. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi would personally go to Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum to perform three kneeling and nine kowtows. Appease the hearts of the people of the world.

Facts have proved that it is indeed effective. Not only are the Han officials relieved, but when the folk scholars wrote poems to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, they were no longer so sad and angry, and they felt like a family of Manchu and Han.

There were only two teachers and students in the car, and Zhang Wei, the commander of the army and horses, was driving the car outside, so Zhu Biao could speak more casually, so he told about Lao Zhu's departure from Beijing for a tour of the north in a few days.

It is not a rare thing in this dynasty that the emperor should be the prince to supervise the country when he leaves Beijing. It is not a day or two since the prince will visit the ministers to participate in political discussions. Song Lian naturally knows what this means.

I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Holy Majesty's choice to make a northern tour at this time is undoubtedly to give the right to be kind to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which means that there is room for relaxation in the Jiangnan affairs. The emperor is not going to do everything right, but he is still worried. children and grandchildren.

Not everyone can arbitrarily use their power to kill and suppress the world. It is beneficial to each other to leave room for each other, and there is also merit in the world to pass on to future generations. The so-called gentleman's virtues are moderate.

"Clearness can be tolerant, benevolence can be good at judging, being clear is not hurtful, and straightforward is not pretentious. It means that candied fruit is not sweet, and seafood is not salty. This is the virtue of Yide. This is the recent feeling of the old minister. I will report it to Your Highness. I hope there will be more benefit."

Zhu Biao has recited it several times carefully, hoping that people will be honest and self-cleaning but also have the generosity to tolerate the world, benevolent and virtuous but can make decisive decisions without being controlled by them, have insight into the world and not prevent harm, carefully examine and treat people harshly , Upright and resolute but not stubborn, it means that candied fruit is sweet enough, seafood is good for cooking, and it is the best to be able to hold an impartial standard in all affairs.

"The disciples are sincerely taught, and will not fail the teachings of the master."

Song Lian nodded happily and said: "After returning to Beijing, the old minister will not allow anyone to slander His Majesty's sage, and the criticism of the scholarly literary world will be borne by the old minister."

Zhu Biao hastily declined. He told the old master to rush back to the capital not to take the blame. He was just worried that the old master would not understand the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. It is ruthless to give up this heart.

The old kindness and friendship cannot restrain a mature emperor. If he is really limited by this, then he is definitely not qualified, let alone the founding ancestor of a dynasty. A good man and gentleman in the traditional sense cannot be an emperor. of.

The chariots and horses swayed into the gate of the city, and Song Lian suddenly asked: "Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain is also in the capital."

"Yes, a few days ago, my father ordered him to enter the capital to face the saint, and he went to the Zhang family to be titled a celestial master. From now on, all his teachers will be taught by Zhengyi's heir to teach real people, and he will be given a silver seal. He will be regarded as the second rank, and he will lead the Taoist affairs."

"On the way to Beijing, I met several groups of orthodox priests who called the villagers to do Dafa ceremonies."

Zhu Biao said clearly: "Father has ordered that without the imperial court's order, no monks or Taoists are allowed to hold a Dharma meeting with more than a hundred people without authorization. Anyone who violates the law will be punished as a crime of dislike of witchcraft."

After learning that the imperial court had already taken precautions, Song Lian leaned on the soft cushion a little tiredly, his eyes fell on the familiar jade pendant around his disciple's waist and said with a smile: "The old minister has been sick since childhood, and his family is poor. This pendant is the only one in the past. A decent item to take out."

Zhu Biao untied the jade pendant and handed it over. Song Lian touched it lovingly, and he seemed to see himself overjoyed when he received the pendant from Wen Qiangong Huang Zhen back then. At that time, there were countless senior brothers beside him Envious.

Now those brothers and sisters, some serve in the court, and some live in the countryside, singing water and singing mountains for joy, they don't know if they can escape this turmoil, if they can really live at ease.

"Your Highness loves jade all the time, why?"

Zhu Biao responded reflexively: "Jade is warm and lustrous, benevolent, meticulous, knowledgeable, honest but not cheap, righteous, hanging like a team, and polite."

"The sound of knocking is clearer and longer, and the end is smooth and joyful. The flaws do not hide the beauty, and the jade does not hide the flaws. Loyalty, Fuyin Pangda, faith, Qi like a white rainbow, the sky, the spirit can be seen in the mountains and rivers, and the earth. , Guizhang Teda, Virtue, there is no one in the world who is not precious, Tao also."

"The poem says, when you read a gentleman, warm him like jade, so a gentleman is precious!"

Satisfied, Song Lian handed back his most cherished Liuyun Baifu Peiyu, and Zhu Biao smiled after receiving it: "Actually, it's because the Peiyu looks more chic and elegant."

Song Lian clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The old minister also thought so in the past!"
