Chapter 99 Waves (Part 2)
I have met Mr. Liu and several masters!
I have met His Highness the King of Wu!
At the entrance of the university, Zhu Yunxi, wearing princely clothes, respectfully greeted several teachers.
Several square scholars also responded with the courtesy of their subjects.
Outside the door is the minister’s ritual. When you really enter the room where you study, it is the teacher’s ritual.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a turbulent family, he strictly controlled the education of his children and grandchildren.
When Zhu Yunyu's old son Zhu Biao was just in his prime, Zhu Yuanzhang hired a famous scholar to teach him his homework. The first famous teacher was Song Lian, a very famous scholar at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that Mr. Song didn't care about the identity of these princes at all, and when he taught, he used a ruler to draw it. Zhu Yunxiu had several uncles who were not only stubborn, but also slapped his face.
At that time, several uncles were young and were beaten by the teacher and naturally wanted to ask their father to add fuel to the fire and say that they were wronged. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang took off his pants and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
Among them are the famous King of Yan and Zhu Di.
And it is said that among all Zhu Yuanzhang's children, Zhu Di was the most disobedient and was beaten the most.
His Highness the King of Wu came early today! Hanlin Bachelor Huang Zicheng said with a smile.
Today's university church Zhu Yunyu was the first to arrive, so everyone was a little surprised.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at the sun on his head and said with a smile that the plan for the day lies in the morning. In the past, I was ignorant, didn’t like to read and listen, and failed my years, and failed the expectations of my teachers. Now, my time is fleeting, and I am about to catch up. Thinking about the past, I feel ashamed and ashamed of the teachings of my masters, I will not know how to do it in the future!
As he said that, under the surprised eyes of several Hanlin scholars, he bent down and saluted solemnly.
I dare not be the great gift of King Wu! Several Hanlin scholars quickly avoided themselves and did not dare to accept this gift.
Is this really the King of Wu?
Liu Sanwu looked at Zhu Yunxiu, familiar and unfamiliar, and at the same time he was a little relieved and happy.
It is no big deal to improve one's mistakes. Since the King of Wu understood his past stubbornness and sincerely admitted his mistakes, those who were ministers would definitely teach them wholeheartedly.
The reason why he felt unfamiliar with Zhu Yun was that the King of Wu in front of him had changed his energy and spirit from the inside to the outside, making him more energetic and vigorous.
Standing there politely and humble words. In an instant, Liu Sanwu thought of the prince who studied when he was young.
Thinking of this old minister, he felt a little sad.
After all, he is the prince's legitimate son and is usually naughty, but once the prodigal son turns back, he is simply carved out of the same mold as the wise and powerful prince.
After being sad, I was delighted. No wonder the emperor said that this grandson was the Zhu family's Qianliju.
At a young age, he is as polite as an adult, and is humble and gentle as a man.
Liu Sanwu stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Zhu Yunxi, Your Highness, King of Wu, this is a scholar Fang who has just entered the capital!
Fang Xiaoru met His Highness the King of Wu!
Sir, don’t be too polite. Speaking of which, you and I are not outsiders!
Although he looked down on these things in his heart, Qingliu scholars who later instigated Emperor Jianwen to reduce his vassals and lose the throne, at this moment, Zhu Yunyu, who had not yet achieved success, still needed to leave a good impression in their hearts.
The saying that you and I are not outsiders surprised everyone.
I heard Zhu Yunxi continue to laugh and said, "Mr. Fang is under Master Song Lian, and my father is also a student of Master Song. According to seniority, I want to call you uncle!"
As he said that, he really gave a disciple ceremony.
Fang Xiaoru's rigid face showed a rare smile.
Responding with the courtesy of his ministers, His Highness the King of Wu became so serious!
Seeing this famous historical minister saluting to him, Zhu Yunyu felt mixed feelings.
Compared with Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng who instigated Jianwen to do nothing, Fang Xiaoru was not only knowledgeable and famous all over the world, but also a famous minister throughout the ages.
Fang Xiaoru's family was a great scholar of generations. His father was the prefect of Jining. He protected the country and protected the people in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty. He was the wise man in the world. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote a letter to recruit Fang Xiaoru's father as an official.
Born from a Confucian family, Fang Xiaoru has the righteous spirit of a true scholar.
After more than a hundred years of oppression of Han scholars from the Yuan Dynasty, scholars of this era took it as their responsibility to benefit one person.
It was completely different from those in the late Ming Dynasty, who were talking about morality, benevolence and righteousness, secretly thieves and prostitutes, and monarchs and ministers, but in fact, they couldn't do anything well and would fight in the den.
A scholar like Fang Xiaoru is a firm practitioner who establishes his mind for the world, establishes his destiny for the people, inherits his unique knowledge for the past sages, and brings peace to the ages.
He was not a simple literati, but a literati who strictly demanded himself.
Later, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di conquered Nanjing and disappeared.
Zhu Di issued the list of treacherous ministers, and Fang Xiaoru was famous on the list.
Fang Xiaoru was the first to be arrested, but Zhu Di personally arrested him like a wise man.
Long before Zhu Di invaded Nanjing, Zhu Di's adviser, the famous common prime minister Yao Guangxiao, pointed at the emperor and gave many instructions.
Never kill Fang Xiaoru, he is the leader of scholars all over the world.
If Fang Xiaoru dies, the seeds of studying in the world will be lost!
If someone like Fang Xiaoru cannot recognize you, then you, Emperor Yongle, will always usurp the throne in the hearts of scholars!
In the hall of the Forbidden City, Zhu Di begged Fang Xiaoru to draft the edict of ascending the throne.
Fang Xiaoru wore a filial piety dress and wore mourning for Emperor Jianwen, and angrily scolded Zhu Di.
Among all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Zhu Di's personality is the most similar to Zhu Yuanzhang. If you can't use it for me, you will definitely kill him.
But facing Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Di actually patiently and gently persuaded him.
Finally, when I talked about my dry mouth and didn’t say bad words, I just said, “Sir, this is my family matter, please draft an edict for me.”
However, Fang Xiaoru only wrote a few big words for him, and he died as soon as he died, and the imperial edict should not be written.
Zhu Di resisted the anger in his heart and asked him, are you not afraid of death? Are you not afraid of killing the nine clans?
So, later, there was a familiar saying from the world, what's the point of killing my ten clans?
Zhu Di could no longer hold it back, and the Zhu family was full of bad tempers.
Zhu Di killed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru.
In front of Fang Xiaoru, he killed all his relatives, disciples, and old friends.
Fang Xiaoru kept crying silently, and the paper and pen that placed in front of him to draft the edict for Zhu Di to ascend the throne had never been moved.
After seven days of killing, Fang Xiaoru went to death after killing a total of 847 (some say 873).
According to the view of later generations, while lamenting his strength and loyalty, he also wants to say stupidity.
Is it worth it to implicate more than 800 people for the sake of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers in my heart?
But in this era, it is worth it in the eyes of real scholars and real scholars!
You can say that this behavior is stupid, but you must admire it.
This spirit is the spirit of the scholar-officials who have been passed down for thousands of years.
It is precisely because of this spirit that our inheritance has not been cut off when countless foreign invasions and the iron hooves ravaged the land of China.
It is precisely because of this spirit that when we move north and south again and again, our country and nation will face the killing and resolute resistance.
This spirit may not be understood, but it cannot be missing, nor will it be missing. For thousands of years, it has been soaked in our natural genes and blood.
From famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to their clothes and dignity, from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the unparalleled Song Dynasty.
This spirit is to keep Wen Tianxiang, who keeps his loyalty and shines his history, and Lu Xiufu, who jumps into the sea with the young emperor on his back.
They are the soldiers and civilians who died by 100,000 people on the Yashan Mountain.
It is Yu Qian who sticks to Beijing, the upright Hai Rui, and Yan Yingyuan who has never surrendered the Ming Dynasty.
They are the people of Jiangyin, Yangzhou and Jiading.
It was Shi Kefa, and it was Li Dingguo who was ignorant of Ding.
He was a greedy and ambitious man with countless benevolent people under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders in later generations.
It is an unknown hero who is crushed to pieces but even his name has sunk in the long river of history.
This kind of spirit is called the Famous Festival.
This kind of spirit is called righteousness.
This kind of spirit is called indomitable.
Even in the vast history, there are countless literati scum in history, such as the shameless literati who knelt outside Nanjing City to welcome the Emperor Qing Dynasty.
However, great scholars with this spirit are like the vast sea of stars in the Milky Way, illuminating the world we grow and love.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Yunxi's mind.
The contempt for Confucianism and scholars in my mind turned into solemnity on my face.
He solemnly sorted out his clothes and took off the prince's hat from his head.
Lower your head and ritual with the humblest disciple's rituals.
It is a great blessing to be able to receive the teacher’s teachings!
I am honored to be a disciple of the gentleman and a disciple!
