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

He slowly sat down on the side before looking at Liu Jian and said, "What the Qing family guessed is right. I may not believe it all if it is Yang Zhanshi. He is a Zhanshi's secretary in the Zhanshi's family. Now there is a few Zhanshi suddenly. It is natural that he has resentment."

"The crown prince is the crown prince, which is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, but the crown prince's temperament is like this. Since the Zhan Shi Mansion is not well managed, I want Fang Jifan to give it a try. Since he is determined to let Fang Jifan be the young Zhan Shi, he will not doubt the people, and he will not be able to doubt them."

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "But Fang Jifan is still not meticulous enough in his work and is too young. If I say that I have no worries at all, it is fake. It's good to be honest. He took his disciples to Xishan to try on new learning. He didn't know that this new learning was a taboo? Of course, he is a person who has great contributions, and I have to protect him, for fear that more and more Yang Tinghe will use this to criticize him."

Liu Jianshen nodded with approval and said, "Yes, the young man doesn't know what's going on here. He thinks he has a new idea, so he dares to interpret the classics of the saints. When they get bloody, they will know that it will be amazing."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "This is where I didn't understand the prince and Fang Jifan at the beginning..." He thought hard and said, "I have always been a regular life. Others say that people will have a rebellious and rebellious mentality when they were young, but in me, I have never. I have listened to the teachings of my masters since I was a child, study, and learn how to be a good emperor. I really can't imagine their ideas. Perhaps because of this, I always feel that young people today are always unreliable, and I have a heart of hangover. My life experience is too bumpy. They have never experienced it, so naturally I can't do it like me. Why do I demand these?"

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 then I felt moved and thought a lot."

Emperor Hongzhi faced Liu Jian and smiled relaxedly. Only Liu Jian could speak some kind of words by his side.

Liu Jian smiled: "Actually, when the old minister was young... he was unwilling to study for a while..."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look at Liu Jian in surprise. Since he met Liu Jian, in his understanding, Liu Jian is a steady person who cannot be more stable...

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

"Writing books and readings?" Emperor Hongzhi showed admiration and said, "I didn't expect that the Liu Qing family had already had the ambition to write books and readings at a young age."

Liu Jian's face turned red. If he hadn't known that Emperor Hongzhi had always been dignified, he would have thought that the emperor would have made fun of him.

Liu Jian sighed and said, "In fact, this book is not that book. What I wanted at that time was... a story book."

"Story book?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian in confusion, his face full of incomprehension.

"Have you seen the West Chamber, have you seen it?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "What is the West Chamber Record?"

have to!

Liu Jian found that he could no longer continue to communicate.

He had no choice but to go back to the main business and said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered Wu Shizhong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to go to the West Mountain. I want to see what the Fang Jifan wants to do."

But Emperor Hongzhi still didn't understand where the so-called "The West Chamber" came from? He grew up in Renshou Palace since he was a child. He came into contact with other than the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Taoist scriptures. When he went to Zhanshi Mansion, the people around him were all famous scholars like Wang Ao, and they were all classics.

Being an emperor means contacting edicts and countless retributions.

Of course, no one dared to put idle books on his desk without hesitation.

Not to mention, all the ministers he came into contact with wanted to show how serious he was in front of the crown prince or the emperor, and he said nothing about the words.

Liu Jian changed the topic, but Emperor Hongzhi did not continue to delve into it, and said, "That's good."

As he said that, those who were not free, the monarch and his ministers turned the topic to sweet potatoes and voyage to the West.

Early morning the next day.

Emperor Hongzhi summoned several cabinet masters in the warm pavilion as usual.

Before everyone could sit down, Emperor Hongzhi remembered something and looked at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Qing family, Wu Shizhong, have you come back from Xishan?"

Liu Jian slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am very ashamed. The old minister almost forgot about this matter."

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

He was also very cold and warm. Although he didn't care about this on the surface, he was still thinking about it in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Since that's the case, let's ask together, and tell Wu Shizhong."

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi and several cabinet ministers agreed on the amount of money and grain for shipbuilding, and Wu Shizhong had just arrived.

But this view was surprising. He seemed to be listless. The young man should have had nothing in him, but even so, he cheered up and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and was a little disliked. He didn't like such a listless young man who seemed reckless, and was as steady as Ouyang Zhi, who looked so energetic.

Liu Jian seemed to see His Majesty's displeasure, and he had a bit of protection: "Wu Shizhong, what have you done? Have you not slept all night?"

Wu Shizhong suddenly realized, looking at the cold-faced emperor, looking at Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, he wandered for a while before saying, "I have been thinking, thinking all night."

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

"Wrong." Wu Shizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Wrong?"

The monarch and ministers looked at each other, "This guy is crazy, he has nothing to say about the preface."

Liu Jian glared at him and reminded Wu Shizhong that he was in front of the imperial court. Don’t lose his manners and ruin his future.

"What's wrong?"

"All are wrong, ah..." Wu Shizhong said quietly with a depressed look of his faith collapse: "If you keep the laws of heaven and destroy human desires, it is a big mistake. What is the laws of heaven? What is the desire of human desire? Human desire is love. Just like being filial to parents, people who are filial to their parents also need to suppress their original intentions. But just because the laws of heaven say they should be filial to their parents, do they follow the laws of heaven?"

"This is really a fallacy. People are filial to their parents because of their innate favors. So... why should such favors be destroyed? People are born with temperament and suppressing their own holy self, which is wrong. Therefore, Master Zhu was wrong. The appearance of a saint should have its own appearance. The identity of a later person is far-fetched to the thoughts of a saint, which is even more wrong."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wu Shizhong in confusion.

Liu Jian couldn't help but feel a little overly heavy. Wu Shizhong, who he recognized, should be a steady and decent person.

At this time, Wu Shizhong sighed and continued, "What I have learned for decades is ruined. People read the books of sages to achieve knowledge, and this knowledge is called conscience. Once a person has a conscience, he should follow his original heart and true nature to do things, rather than deliberately restrain his own pride. People have no desires and ruthlessness. Although they cannot be beasts from now on, what is the difference between them and plants and trees?"

"The books of sages today are becoming more and more complicated. I have been reading for decades but still haven't figured out anything. For more than ten years, I have been thinking about what the "Tao" in the book is? There are many different opinions here, but now I have realized that the so-called Tao is nothing more than conscience. I am writing it in the Analects of Confucius, simple and clear, and clear..."

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

Of course, the reason why I scolded was that I couldn't bear to watch Wu Shizhong go crazy in front of His Majesty and miss his future.

But Wu Shizhong cried.

My eyes were red and tears fell down the corners of my eyes.

It's so uncomfortable.

He has been studying for twenty years, and has not dared to explain the volume for a day. From countless complicated and awkward articles, he hopes to pursue the essence of the saint, but the more he reads, the more he becomes confused, the more he knows, the less he knows what the saint wants, how to realize it.

All three views were destroyed overnight. When he came back from Xishan, he did not sleep all night. He walked back and forth in his hall with his hands behind his back, and felt very cold when he walked every step.

Smack...

His legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground like a pool of mud, tears streaming down: "The way is simple, the way is simple, today I know that the answer I have been looking for over ten years was actually taught to me more than ten years ago by the Mr. Kaimeng, and only now I know..."

Standing aside, Xiao Jing wanted to call on the guards and drive out the bold and arrogant Ministry of Rites.

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

"What is the simplest way? What are you talking about?" Li Dongyang felt strange.

"Preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires. This is Master Zhu's argument. Master Zhu is a saint. Do you dare to criticize the saint?" Xie Qian's most straightforward temperament was unable to bear it anymore. He no longer cared about Liu Jian's face and loudly scolded Wu Shizhong.

After all, you, Wu Shizhong, are also a Jinshi. After being an official for several years, Liu Gong likes you so much that you are so crazy here!

Xie Qian was very angry and said angrily: "You are still a disciple of the saint and Master Zhu, what books did you read?"

Under Master Zhu...

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

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

Suddenly, he raised his head.

The courage from nowhere was coming, facing the grand cabinet minister Xie Qian and solemnly said: "I'm wrong again."

"..." Xie Qian was about to roar.

But Wu Shizhong said proudly: "Please call the official to be the disciple of Master Fang... a lackey..."

Fang...Master Fang...

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