After hearing Liu Jian's words, Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He slowly sat down at the side, then looked at Liu Jian and said, "The Qing family's guess is right, but I may not believe it all if it's just about Yang Zhan. He is Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu. Now there are more Zhan Shi, it's only natural to have resentment."

"The crown prince is the crown prince, which is related to the future of Ming Dynasty, but the prince's temperament is like this. Since Zhan Shi's government can't manage well, I want Fang Jifan to give it a try. Since Fang Jifan is determined to let Fang Jifan serve as the young Zhan's business, then I don't want to use people. Doubts, doubts are unnecessary."

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "But Fang Jifan is still not meticulous in his work. He is too young. If he says that I have no worries at all, it is a lie. He is very good. He took his disciples to Xishan to tinker with new learning. Does he not know that this new learning is a big taboo? Naturally, he is a person who has made great contributions, and I must protect him, I am afraid that more and more Yang Tinghe will use this to criticize me."

Liu Jian nodded approvingly, and said: "Yes, young people don't know what's going on here, and they think they have a new idea, so they dare to interpret the scriptures of the sages. "

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "This is why I didn't understand the prince and Fang Jifan at the beginning..." He thought hard for a while, and then said: "I have always behaved in my life, others say , People have rebellious and rebellious mentality when they are young, but in my body, I have never had it. I have listened to the teachings of my masters since I was a child, read books, and learned how to be a good emperor. I really can't imagine their thoughts. It may be because of the lack of Knowing this, I always feel that the young people nowadays are always unreliable, and I am hanging in my heart, I... the life experience is too rough, they have never experienced it, so naturally it is impossible for them to be like me, why should I demand these things? Woolen cloth?"

After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "In the past few days, when I was talking with the Empress Dowager, I suddenly talked about some old things, and I just felt emotional and thought a lot."

Emperor Hongzhi faced Liu Jian with a relaxed smile. Liu Jian was the only one who could be by his side and talk about himself.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Actually, when the old minister was young...for a while, he didn't want to study..."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help looking at Liu Jian in amazement. From the time he knew Liu Jian, in his cognition, Liu Jian was a steady person who couldn't be more steady...

Liu Jian said again: "It's ridiculous to talk about these old things. At that time, the old minister wanted to write a book."

"Write a book and talk about it?" Emperor Hongzhi showed admiration, and said: "Unexpectedly, Liu Qing's family already has the great ambition of writing a book at a young age."

But Liu Jian blushed. If he didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi was always dignified, he would probably think that the emperor was making fun of him.

Liu Jian sighed, and then said: "Actually, this book is not the other book. What I wanted at the time was... the story book."

"The script?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian suspiciously, his face full of incomprehension.

"The Story of the West Chamber, has Your Majesty read it?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "What is The Romance of the West Chamber?"

have to!

Liu Jian found that he had no way to continue communicating.

He had no choice but to get back to the business and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to give Wu Shizhong a visit to Xishan. I want to see what Fang Jifan wants to do."

But Emperor Hongzhi still didn't understand, where did the so-called "Romance of the West Chamber" come from? He grew up in Renshou Palace since he was a child. Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, he was exposed to Taoism. When he went to Zhan Shifu, the people around him were all famous scholars like Wang Ao.

To be an emperor is to come into contact with edicts and countless memorials.

Of course, no one dared to put idle books on his desk presumptuously.

Needless to say, all the ministers he came into contact with wanted to show how decent he was in front of the prince or the emperor, and it was said that he kept his mouth shut.

Liu Jian changed the subject, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't go any further, and said, "That's good."

As he spoke, the subject turned to sweet potatoes and voyages to the West, uncontrollably.

Early the next morning.

Emperor Hongzhi summoned several elders in the Nuan Pavilion as usual.

Before everyone sat down, Emperor Hongzhi remembered something, and looked at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Qing's family, Wu Shizhong, has he returned from Xishan?"

Liu Jian patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I'm so ashamed. This old minister almost forgot about this matter."

Emperor Hongzhi only smiled slightly, and did not mean to blame.

He is also cold on the outside and warm on the inside. Although he doesn't care about this matter on the surface, he still cares about it in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "In that case, let's ask together and pass on Wu Shizhong."

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi and several cabinet ministers agreed on the amount of money and food for shipbuilding, and then Wu Shizhong came.

It's just this sight, it's surprising, he actually looks sluggish, the youth should have no spirit in him, but even so, he cheered up and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Pass Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, slightly displeased, he didn't like such listless young people who appeared to be reckless, it was better for Ouyang Zhi to be steady and energetic.

Liu Jian also seemed to see His Majesty's displeasure, and seemed to be somewhat protective: "Wu Shizhong, what have you been doing, you haven't slept all night?"

Wu Shizhong came to a sudden, looked at the cold-faced emperor, looked at Liu Jian

, Looking at Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have been thinking about it all night."

"What are you thinking about?" Emperor Hongzhi was astonished.

"Wrong." Wu Shizhong shook his head with a wry smile.

"wrong?"

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, this guy, must he be crazy, his preface doesn't match the afterword.

Liu Jian blew his beard and stared, reminding Wu Shizhong that this is in front of the imperial court, and he must not lose his appearance in front of the imperial court and ruin his future.

"What's wrong?"

"It's all wrong, hey..." Wu Shizhong said with a slumped look of collapsed faith: "If you keep the principles of heaven and destroy human desires, you are making a big mistake. What is natural law? What is human desire? People who desire human desire Just like being filial to your parents, you need to suppress your own heart when you are filial to your parents, but just because the law of heaven says you should be filial to your parents, do you follow the law of heaven?"

"This is really a fallacy. People are filial to their parents because of their innate human feelings. Then... why should such human feelings be destroyed? People are born with temperaments, and it is wrong to restrain their own desires, so Zhu The master is wrong, the appearance of a saint should have its own appearance, and it is a big mistake to forcefully attach the thoughts of a saint in the identity of a future person."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wu Shizhong in bewilderment.

Liu Jian couldn't help feeling a little top-heavy. The Wu Shizhong he knew must be a stable and decent person.

At this time, Wu Shizhong sighed, and continued: "Decades of learning will be destroyed once. People read sage books to gain knowledge, and this knowledge is called conscience; when people have conscience, they should obey it." Do things with your own heart and true nature, rather than deliberately restraining your desires, people have no desires and no feelings, although they can no longer be animals from now on, but what is the difference from grass and trees?"

"Today's sage books are becoming more and more complicated. I have been studying for decades, but I still haven't got any clues. In the past ten years, I have been thinking about what is the 'Tao' in the book? Here, it can be said that there are different opinions. But now, I have awakened, the so-called Dao is nothing more than conscience, it is written in the Analects, simple and clear..."

"Enough!" Liu Jian couldn't help scolding Wu Shizhong.

Of course, the reason for scolding him was that he couldn't bear to watch Wu Shizhong go crazy in front of His Majesty, and miss his own future.

Wu Shizhong was crying.

His eyes were red, and tears fell down the corners of his eyes.

It's hard.

He has been studying for twenty years, and he dared not release the volume for a day. From countless complicated and jerky articles, he hoped to pursue the essence of the saint, but the more he read, the more confused he became, and the more he understood, the less he knew what the saint wanted. something, how to achieve it.

In one night, all three views were destroyed. When he came back from Xishan, he didn't sleep all night. In his living room, with his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth, and every step he took was very heart-wrenching.

pat...

His legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground like a puddle of mud, with tears running down his face: "The way is as simple as it is, and the way is as simple as it is. Today I know that the answer I have been looking for for more than ten years is actually more than ten years ago." , Mr. Kaimeng, I have already taught myself, and I only found out today..."

Standing aside, Xiao Jing wanted to call out the imperial guards to drive out this daring Ritual Department.

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand, Xiao Jing nodded and took a step back obediently.

"What are you talking about?" Li Dongyang felt strange.

"Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires, this is the theory of Master Zhu. Master Zhu is a saint. Do you dare to criticize the saint?" Xie Qian was the most straightforward, couldn't bear it anymore, no longer cared about Liu Jian's face, and loudly reprimanded Wu Shizhong.

Anyway, you, Wu Shizhong, are also Jinshi, and you have been an official for several years. Mr. Liu favors you so much, but you are acting wild and going crazy here!

Xie Qian was very angry, and said angrily: "Fortunately, you are still a disciple of a sage, Master Zhu, what book did you read?"

Under Master Zhu's door...

These five words instantly pierced Wu Shizhong's heart like a sword.

Wu Shizhong's lips were trembling, his face was blue and purple, and his eyes showed pain.

Suddenly, he raised his head.

The courage that came from nowhere, faced the majestic cabinet scholar Xie Qian, and said solemnly: "It's wrong again."

"..." Xie Qian was about to growl.

But Wu Shizhong said proudly: "Please call me the official under Mrs. Fang's family... lackey..."

Fang...Master Fang...

In the world... where did Mr. Fang come from...

Under the astonished faces of everyone, Wu Shizhong said with great emotion: "The lower official was taught the truth by Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang was taught by Mr. Fang. Fang's knowledge is vast, and the lower official is amazed!"
