The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Your Highness, please sit upright. This is the etiquette for the master."

Yan Chengjin did not say it to Zhu Houzhao, but to Emperor Hongzhi.

The principal is here. As a class teacher, you are not allowed to regulate discipline?

Outside the palace, Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance and wanted to go in and beat him up.

After hearing Yan Chengjin's words, I felt much better and my brows gradually opened.

The prince looked shocked. Does anyone dare to take care of Zhu Houzhao?

His father must be here, otherwise, how would Lao Gao, a bitch like him, care about him?

Zhu Houzhao stretched out three fingers and looked at Yan Chengjin like he was bargaining: Lao Gao, without money, it will be difficult for me to help you with things?

Yan Chengjin lowered his head, as if he were reading a book, or as if he was agreeing to Zhu Houzhao's request.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and sat upright.

Zhu Gongqiao was slightly shocked. The relationship between the prince and Yan Chengjin was beyond that of ordinary officials.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang: "I heard that Master Li gave Yan Chengjin a handout?"

The princes looked at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang was calm and composed: "It's not a lecture, it's just some scattered Legalist scholarship for this person's reference. However, this person may not follow it."

During the sutra lecture banquet, the literal meaning should be spoken so that the emperor and princes can understand it.

Later, we have to talk about the principles of governing the country and the world. We cannot talk about topics that have nothing to do with governing the country. Legalism is very suitable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chengjin's voice sounded in the hall:

"My minister Yan Chengjin lectures on Confucianism.

The journey of the great road is to select the worthy and capable, to maintain trust and cultivate harmony, so that the old friends will not only kiss their relatives, nor will they only have their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will have their own growth, and those who are lonely, lonely, and sick will have something to offer. keep…

… It is because people seek to close themselves off but not prosper, because they don’t commit theft and chaos, because they don’t use the outdoors, this is called great harmony.

Dear princes, please listen to the question, what if the world was unified? "

Zhu Houzhao's eyes sparkled and he was overjoyed. Lao Gao was cheating!

Great harmony, the world is one for the common good!

The world belongs to the emperor, how can he be a public servant?

The expressions of all princes who heard the true meaning of these words changed.

This question cannot be answered randomly.

The world respects Confucius as a saint and studies Confucianism. It is easy to praise this passage and support the great unity. This is a grave sin of rebellion!

Datong advocates the sharing of land and property, and it is the royal family that controls the most land and property!

This means that in order to realize a harmonious society, the current Ming Dynasty must be overthrown.

This is also one of the reasons why Confucianism was not used to govern the country during the Qin Dynasty.

Outside the main hall, the expressions of Emperor Hongzhi and the princes changed drastically. They did not expect to talk about Confucianism.

Wang Qiong was surprised and said hurriedly: "I'll go in and see if Master Yan got the wrong handout."

Publicly, Yan Chengjin was the treasure trove of the treasury, and privately, he had a good personal relationship with Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and stopped him: "It doesn't look like he took the wrong handout."

Li Dongyang also nodded.

No one in the court is more familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty than this son!

Since Yan Chengjin dares to speak, he must be measured.

"Zhu Gongqiao, you answer."

Silence fell in the main hall, and everyone looked at the scholar behind Zhu Houzhao.

Why did Wang Mang's reform fail? It is precisely because he wants to achieve great unity. Zhu Gongqiao looked stiff and bowed to Yan Chengjin:

“Although it is said that we should not worry about scarcity but inequality, and we should not worry about poverty but insecurity, but if the world were unified, there would be no court, no officers, no order, and everyone would be equal.

Without a court, how could the army resist the Tatar invasion? If everyone is equal, how can we distinguish between merchants and farmers?

There are no rules and no rules. Students think that there is no harmony. "

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly.

Zhu Gongqiao's answer was reasonable. He didn't mean to flatter others, but he also explained why there couldn't be common ground.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. Yan Chengjin was trying to test the crown prince's disloyalty, and Zhu Gongqiao answered the question with a pass.

"The lectures at Yan Qing's house are interesting."

Just listening, Yan Chengjin continued: "Now that the great road is hidden, the world is home, everyone has relatives, every son has his own son, goods and resources are his own, adults regard it as etiquette, cities, ditches and ponds as solid, etiquette and justice as discipline... Everyone thinks it's a disaster, it's called a well-off life.

Dear princes, please listen to the question. How does Xiaochang compare with Datong? "

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed, Lao Gao's lecture was interesting, but it was a trap again!

The princes lowered their heads. The Datong from before made them feel in danger and they did not dare to answer hastily.

Yan Chengjin said: "Zhu Gongqiao, I think you have the answer, please stand up."

Datong and Xiaochang are different.

Datong means equality. Everyone is the same. Equality means there is no order. Don't order me around. You can't control what I want to do. If you have money, everyone will spend it together. Property is for the public.

Both are heading for a better life.

But Xiaochang believes that whoever makes the money owns it privately and does not need to share it with everyone.

In my previous life, I advocated running towards Xiaochang instead of running towards Datong.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is also facing Xiaochang. If you oppose Xiaochun like you oppose Datong, you are against the rule of the imperial court.

But in the Ming Dynasty, there is another problem. Taking possession of something for one's own is not something a gentleman does.

"???" Zhu Gongqiao.

I feel that no one in my generation can make a difference. At this moment, some people are doubting their life.

He stood up and bowed: "Xiaochang is called Shengping, and Datong is called Taiping. Shengping is second to Taiping. It starts out with selfishness and relies on benevolence and righteousness. The prince dare not make unreasonable comments."

The princes nodded, impressed by Zhu Gongqiao's knowledge.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said disdainfully: "Lao Gao said, are you the first talented man in Nanchang?"

Zhu Gongqiao bowed and said politely: "Sir Yan, the world does not know that the Crown Prince and Mr. Yan are so talented and talented. Gongqiao went to the capital to study just because of his knowledge, but he is still far behind."

Emperor Hongzhi had a faint smile on his face, the princes stroked their beards and nodded, and Prince Ning had some talent.

King Ning asked Zhu Gongqiao to enter the capital, and he was indeed prepared. Yan Chengjin said: "Sit down."

There are many great scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. With a little effort, you can learn some skills.

Yan Chengjin continued to ask questions, but he only asked Zhu Gongqiao.

After the banquet was over, Zhu Gongqiao came forward and said, "Student, thank you Master Yan for your teaching."

Yan Chengjin nodded: "It's easy to say, this month is my official's lecture feast."

Zhu Gongqiao looked as pale as if there were flies in the food.

After the banquet, Yan Chengjin went to see Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You are bold. You know that I am here, but you still talk about such knowledge. Are you talking to the prince or to me?"

"I'm telling the prince that I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough, so why don't I let Sangong give the lecture?" Yan Chengjin said.

This guy is afraid that I will punish him. Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "It's up to you to teach him."

In the past few days, Yan Chengjin has not asked too difficult questions.

Zhu Gongqiao did not dare to let down his guard. Fortunately, he got closer to the prince. He invited him to the East Palace and arranged a banquet.

Zhu Houzhao raised his cup: "You are talented and knowledgeable, but I hate scholars the most."

Zhu Gongqiao was unhurried and unhurried, as if he had thoroughly studied Zhu Houzhao's temperament: "I am talented and knowledgeable, but I also visit brothels, play the piano and shoot, and can also sing."

He is also proficient in the art of war, but cannot show it.

If a prince knows the art of war, is that not rebellion?

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and wanted to teach him a lesson, but suddenly he became interested: "Can you sing?"

Zhu Gongqiao raised his neck, and a loud and sad voice sounded: "The autumn wind blows away the grass in the felt tent, and I listen to the sad music in the moonlit night in the dome. I control a million strings to become the ruler. I call the vassal a Han family, and I call Han Yedan." So..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone, he was fascinated by what he heard, and he clapped his hands unconsciously: "Okay, good singing!"
