I want to be a grandson

The next day, when Fang Xiaoru brought his students to Chengtianmen, there were already many onlookers gathered here.

The people were whispering to each other, all talking about the debate on the high platform.

Fang Xiaoru's arrival immediately became the focus of attention and attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that the time was about the same as the number of onlookers, Fang Xiaoru stepped onto the stage, stepping up the steps one by one, walking very steadily.

Standing on the high platform, Fang Xiaoru bowed his hands to the crowd and then straightened his back,
Looking at the crowd below, Fang Xiaoru said: "Everyone, I am a scholar Fang Xiaoru. Over the past 38 years of studying, he has learned and practiced the teachings of the saints.
I am ashamed to be on the stage at this time, because I really have something to say, so in order to fulfill the way of a saint, and for the sake of the common people..."

After a pause, he continued: "This matter is the envoy of the Wonu Kingdom asking Daming to send troops, but I think it is absolutely unacceptable!"

Someone in the audience knew what he was doing and was fully prepared, so they were not surprised.

But for those who don't know, Fang Xiaoru's words are like a thunder!
You must know that the Daming Weekly was still talking about the envoy of the Wonu Kingdom a few days ago, and the weekly newspaper that day clearly portrayed the shabby appearance of the Wonu Kingdom,

Immediately afterwards, the second weekly report wrote that the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom were kneeling like courtiers of the Ming Dynasty to beg...

These two weekly newspapers alone have caused fierce discussions among the common people!
Later, the weekly report described the matter and the reasons for it in detail.

So now the common people know about the Wonu Kingdom's request to send troops, and the high-level debate, why does this person oppose Daming's sending troops?
Facing the eyes of the common people, Fang Xiaoru said: "Although my Ming Dynasty is a great country with rich products and strong national strength, you must know that every time you launch an army, you will consume a lot of food and property, and consume a lot of weapons and military equipment.
Which of these is not consuming Daming's national strength?Isn't it weakening the degree of prosperity of Daming? "

"Everyone, it has only been 31 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, I was still conquering the east and west, conquering the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, pacifying the separatists in the southwest, and dealing with rebellions in various places..."

"Everyone, what my Ming needs now and everything I need is not to send troops to fight, but to recuperate and reform with the people!"

"Which battle won't be won by my good son of Ming Dynasty? And which battle can be won without bloodshed or human life!"

At this point, Fang Xiaoru's eyes were full of pity for the dead soldiers, and he sang in his mouth: "The car is rumbling, the horse is Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. Ye Niang's wife walked to see each other, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge. Pull Yidun Crying with feet blocking the road, the sound of crying goes straight to the sky."

"Those who pass by the road ask pedestrians, but pedestrians only travel frequently. From the north of Fanghe on the fifteenth day, to the camp field on the forty west side, when they go, they are wrapping their heads, and when they return, their heads are white and they are still guarding the border."

Before the words fell, some people felt the same way!
After all, it has not been many years since the fighting in the Ming Dynasty stopped...

Many people still have a very clear impression of the tragic situation of the battle...

Besides, who doesn't know the dangers of war? …

Those who want to rely on the rewards of military merits, rely on military merits to increase their ranks and confer their wives and sons are only a minority!

"Mr. Fang, please forgive me for not agreeing with what you said!"

At this moment, a loud voice interrupted the people's brewing emotions,
The sad atmosphere was broken by this cry.

Fang Xiaoru looked at the speaker and said, "Who is your Excellency? Please come to the stage to answer!"

I saw that the visitor was in his thirties, with a great appearance, wearing brocade casual clothes, with a belt decorated with jade pendants around his waist,
This person is Li Jinglong, Cao Guogong.

Li Jinglong arched his hands toward the stage, and then walked up to the high stage step by step,

Standing in front of Fang Xiaoru, looking straight at him, he said, "What a mere name. I heard Mr. Fang's words just now, and felt that the words were biased, so I couldn't help but want to say a few words. I don't know if it's abrupt?"

Fang Xiaoru said: "Since you are on the high platform, you can speak freely. If you have any great opinions, I am willing to listen to you."

"it is good!"

Li Jinglong said hello when he arrived, and unfolded his folding fan with a "crash", and slapped it a few times in a very sullen manner, showing the vigor and style of a master.

Slowly said: "Mr. Fang, you said just now that the Ming Dynasty has been fighting for many years since the founding of the country. This is true, and I agree with it.
But if you say that war is a waste of people and money, and it is something that causes the separation of wives and children in the world, then I dare not agree with you! "

As soon as Li Jinglong put away his folding fan, he stopped looking at Fang Xiaoru, but turned to the people below and said, "My fellow citizens, you will definitely die in battle, and you will definitely die. Everyone knows this.
But even so, some battles must be fought! "

"Just take the example of the Taishang Emperor who raised his arms and led the rebels from all over the country to resist, wanting to overthrow the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Shouldn't such a battle be fought?!"

When Li Jinglong said this, he obviously put gold on Zhu Yuanzhang's face!

Because it was very late when Zhu Yuanzhang became popular!

There were many rebels before him, the most famous Han Shantong and Liu Futong, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's deadly enemy Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng who occupied the fertile land...

But at this time, no one cares about these small details.

Li Jinglong said with a serious face: "Everyone, we all know that in order to resist the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty and overthrow those Yuan people who regard us Han people as low-level handmaidens,"

"I don't know how many loyal and courageous people died because of this, and I don't know how many high-minded and healthy people, because of this, their wives and children were separated, and their heads were separated..."

"It is because of their feats that day, and the blood shed for us, that you and I have a peaceful life today!"

"With you, I can fill my stomach today! I can marry a wife and have children! I can study with peace of mind!"

"Otherwise, the land we cultivated would have been turned into a pasture for sheep pens by them, and our descendants would still be slaves under their whipping..."

Having said that, Li Jinglong wiped his eyes.

Looking from below, it seems to be wiping away tears.

Therefore, the people thought that he was moved, and they couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, Li Jinglongkang said passionately, "Everyone! Tell me, some people want to seize our land, some people want to enslave and abuse our descendants, and some people make our family ruined!" …

"Everyone, tell me, should such a person deserve to die? Should such a battle be fought?!"

Seeing Fang Xiaoru's tears shed on the spot like this, the people down here couldn't help but burst into tears when they recalled their miserable life back then, and the sadness came from it...

Especially some middle-aged and elderly people who have been persecuted, can't stop crying when they think of the humiliation of those years!

"My lord is right! To destroy the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty, such a battle should be fought!"

"If you beat them again, even though my old man is old, he is still willing to go to the battlefield and fight with them! If I can kill one of them, it will be worth it for me to lie in the coffin!"

"Those Yuan soldiers are really nothing. They robbed my fields and killed my parents... Such a battle must be fought!"

"That's right! We must fight! Even if we want to fight now, I am willing to donate my family property to buy weapons and dedicate it to the court! The soldiers who kill the enemy can eat a bowl of wine from this old man, and then this old man will die in peace!"

"..."

Seeing that there were so many people responding to him, Li Jinglong immediately felt that he had the chance to win, and his heart thumped!
Fang Xiaoru, this is a troublesome character...

If you solve him by yourself...

Ha ha……

This is to share the worries of His Majesty!
Facing Li Jinglong who was fantasizing in his mind, and the catering voice below, Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard very calmly, flustered without showing favor,
Nor was there any edginess.

The Ming Dynasty won the righteousness of the world, and it is the first in history!

Therefore, no one will refute Zhu Yuanzhang's move to overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty!

There is no way to refute it!
Fang Xiaoru understands this truth, so he is not going to entangle too much on this point.

When the voice gradually became quieter, Fang Xiaoru coughed twice, cleared his throat,
Looking at Li Jinglong, he said: "All wars in the world cannot be generalized. There are just wars and unjust wars."

"Your Excellency said just now that overthrowing the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and returning the Han people to the world is a just war, of course it should be fought, but there are many wars in the world that are unjust wars, so they should never be fought!"

"broken……"

Before Fang Xiaoru could finish his words, Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat...

Because I had already forced him into a corner with words, but Fang Xiaoru was still calm!
And immediately launch a counterattack!

This calmness and calmness alone shows that he has wisdom in his hands...

"boom!"

On the turret of Chengtianmen, Chang Sen slapped the stone pillar angrily, his face was full of anger.

Through the windows of the turret, you can clearly see everything that happened on the high platform, and you can also clearly hear their debates.

It was for this reason that Chang Sen was so angry!

"This Fang Xiaoru is like a stone in a latrine! It's really smelly and hard! He just had another clever mouth, so eloquent! It's so tricky!"

Chang Sen turned to Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and said, "Commander Jiang, you sent me a few Jinyiwei, and I'm going to overthrow the table now! This Fang Fang must be arrested and sent to prison!"

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and quickly persuaded him: "Uncle Guo, please be safe and don't be impatient. Fang Xiaoru is just a rotten Confucian. Isn't it easy to punish him? We Jinyiwei have plenty of means!" …

"But after all, he is too famous, and dealing with such a person rashly will cause an uproar, and it may be criticized by everyone..."

"What are you afraid of!"

Chang Sen said: "I will bear the responsibility for any crimes! Hurry up and send me some capable people!"

"Uncle Guo... This Gao Han was established by His Majesty's order, so the chances of winning are sure!"

Jiang Yu pouted at Fang Xiaoru on the high platform, and said: "Let him dance for two days, and he will be a good looker in the future! Besides, we don't know His Majesty's will. If we really interrupt His Majesty's plan, then we won't All right……"

Hearing that it might hinder his nephew, Chang Sen had no choice but to swallow his breath, "Okay! Then let him breathe for a couple of days after listening to you! Tnd, I have never seen such an eloquent father!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Instructed Jin Yiwei who was taking notes on the other side near the window: "Record this debate verbatim! Do you understand?"

"Your subordinate understands, please rest assured, my lord!"

After the Jin Yiwei answered, they started writing quickly on the paper again.

Outside the window, Fang Xiaoru was trying to refute...

……

"Your Majesty, the bird food is here."

In the small garden at the back of the hall, Zhu Yunxi was holding a small spoon with a long handle in his hand, and was reaching into the bird cage to tease the parrot.

A can of bird food was placed on Wang Zhong's tray, and a can of clear water was handed to him.

Zhu Yunxi made some bird food with a small spoon and put it in the bird food jar in the cage. The parrot immediately jumped onto the crossbar on the other side and started pecking.

Wang Zhongdao: "Your Majesty's bird is really good, and the feathers are really beautiful in color. I'm afraid no one can raise it better than this one!"

"Stop flattering!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "I can't remember to feed it once in a few months. If I raised it, I would have starved to death."

Wang Zhong smiled and stopped talking.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Send this parrot to the queen later, and let her relieve her boredom. The sound of insects and birds chirping can also add a lot of fun to the palace. It's a pity to put it here."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Zhu Yunxi picked up the jug of clear water, added some water to the small jug of the parrot in the cage, and asked, "Is there anything exciting going on today?"

Wang Zhong understood what the emperor was asking, so he quickly replied with a smile: "Let me tell you, it's really hard to talk about exciting things!"

"Fang Xiaoru is so righteous and confident on the high platform, it really makes people hate it! But a scholar, he can speak well, so some people are confused by him, but there are many voices of approval..."

He raised his eyes to look at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, guess what, someone really came to the stage to fight!"

"Oh, who is it?"

Wang Zhong didn't dare to show off, and replied: "If you talk to your majesty, this person really surprised the servants! I didn't even think about it! Guess who it is? Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!"

"Li Jinglong?"

Hearing this name, Zhu Yunxi was also slightly surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Jinglong was the first one to refute Fang Xiaoru on stage! I heard that what he said on stage moved his true feelings and shed tears!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "Is it true? That heartless Li Jinglong can still shed tears? I'm afraid he has two pieces of ginger in his sleeve, rub it in his eyes when he finds a chance!"

"Hehehe, I don't know about this servant girl, but I heard from the people below that he wiped his tears several times!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile, and said no more.

At this time, a little eunuch came to a corner of the garden and winked at Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong went over quietly, and then listened to the little eunuch whisper a few words.

"Your Majesty, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong seeks an audience..." Wang Zhong reported.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, put down the spoon in his hand, and said with a smile, "Oh, he belongs to Cao Cao, so he will be there when he talks! Let him wait in the Jinshen Palace."

"Yes, slaves obey."
