Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 1 An Analects of Confucius, did you interpret it as a language?

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty!"

Imperial Palace, East Pavilion.

Song Lian, who was the head of the Ministry of Rites at that time and also promoted Confucianism in Dabentang, came to the court case of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Hongwu Emperor, with tears and snot in his nose.

"Master Song? What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was dressed in a dragon robe and was sitting behind the imperial case reviewing memorials.Seeing Song Lian's appearance, he thought something big had happened.

Having been in the top position for a long time, and having been on the throne for several years, Zhu Yuanzhang's original reckless aura has been completely worn away.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang walks like a dragon and a tiger, like Yuan Zhiyue.Although the words are still quite down-to-earth, it is hard to hide the emperor's air.

"Your Majesty..." Song Lian's teeth chattered angrily.

"Distorting the classics, humiliating the sages!"

"It's even more forceful and unreasonable. If you don't change after repeated teaching, you can't teach a child!"

"If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the old minister, the old minister..."

"The old minister has a heavy trust from His Majesty, and it is really unbearable to teach the princes."

"Your Majesty, the poor old minister is getting old, the quasi-veteran... the quasi-veteran..."

"Retiring from old age and returning home..."

Old Master Song wept blood every sentence, as if the sky was about to collapse.

I really feel pity for that dejected look.

Oh, so Zhu Yuanzhang understands.

It turned out that our sons acted like demons again and made the teacher angry.

Song Lian, as the number one Confucianist in Ming Dynasty today, is the tutor personally arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang for his sons.

Just for this little thing...

"Master Song, it's not impossible. You are just a few yellow-mouthed children, how can you be forced to resign and go home?"

"There are indeed a few of our children who are naughty. But most of them are good."

"Master Song, don't be angry. You, a gentleman, can't take care of it, we, a father, can take care of it!"

"Tell me, is it the second child or the fourth child who offended Mr.? Let's vent our anger on Mr. Mister!"

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, acting as if he and Song Lian shared the same hatred.

But in my heart, I really don't think so.

A few brats, can they still have a falling out?

This old man just likes to exaggerate.

It's a big deal, like a little daughter-in-law who has lost her virginity.

However, Song Lian, an old man, is a great Confucian in the world.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many places where he can be used.

Just make a show, beat those two bastards, and let the old man vent his grievances.

"Not the second prince, nor the fourth prince..." Song Lian shook his head, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"The rebellious... is the fifth prince, it is the fifth prince!"

"Five?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"Old man...Old Song, isn't that right?"

Could it be that I heard wrong?

Among my sons, the second child has always looked not very smart, and the fourth child is a monkey.

It's not uncommon for these two bastards to make the master angry.

But... the fifth child?

The fifth child, Zhu Su (pronounced the same as "Su". The strokes are too many to make my eyes dizzy, so I will directly call him "Zhu Su"), but he was quite naughty when he was a child.But after a serious illness five years ago, he became taciturn and stopped playing around with other children.

When he was young, Zhu Laosi liked to take his brothers to play with urine and mud.The fifth child never joins in,
He always stayed away, looking at his brothers with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children.

In addition to being a little lazy on weekdays, he likes to lie down in the room, and is picky about eating, no matter what he eats, he doesn't like it.

There are no other major problems.

How could such a child make Master Song so angry that he resigned?
"Old Song." Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

"Old Wu is usually a good kid, why did you become so angry with you?"

"Tell us, what did he do?"

"He...he..." Song Lian opened his mouth with a look that was hard to say.

"Insulting Sven, insulting Sven..."

"Your Majesty, see for yourself!"

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket.

"Huh? What is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the paper and saw that the first words read: The Analects of Confucius, Zhu Su.

"This is the homework of our fifth son? Well, that's a good word, and it's the best!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised first.The so-called home school probably means homework after class.This piece of paper was Zhu Su's homework handed over to Song Lian.

Among other things, the fifth child, these few words are much more elegant and unrestrained than my own father.

As far as your handwriting is concerned, no one is better than you... Song Lian refrained from complaining.Zhu Yuanzhang, the commoner emperor, only started to practice calligraphy and reading after he was an adult, and that handwriting is really not flattering.

"Your Majesty, the point is the content, the content!"

"Well, let's see..."

"'People don't know but don't feel stunned, isn't it a gentleman?'"

"'Interpretation: Someone doesn't know my name, and I haven't gotten angry, this is already a gentleman.'"

"Ah? This..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang read this, even though he was used to countless big scenes, he couldn't help being stunned.

Can the Analects of the Sage be explained in this way?

Erhu, the guard standing beside him, almost burst out laughing when he heard the Fifth Prince explaining the Analects of Confucius in this way.

But he didn't smile after all.

Um.Professional guards, no matter how funny things are, will not laugh.

"This sentence is not bad, Your Majesty, look at the others..." Song Lian looked furious.

"Well, 'A gentleman is not serious but not powerful'"

"'Interpretation, a gentleman must hit people hard, otherwise he will not be able to establish prestige.'"

"'Insufficient strength, give up in the middle way'"

"'Interpretation: Those who are not as powerful as me can only be defeated by me halfway.'"

"'Silent words, strange powers and gods'"

"'Interpretation: Confucius was too lazy to talk nonsense with others, and he just used his strange power to beat the enemy until he lost his mind'"

"..."

"puff!"

After all, Erhu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Under the double glare of Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Lian, it was very uncomfortable to hold back again.

"These are really written by the fifth child?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked while shaking the piece of paper.

"Exactly." Song Lian nodded. "It's not just that. I asked the fifth prince why he made such a vulgar statement, but the fifth prince had plausible words, and asked me how he knew that this was not the true meaning of Confucius."

"It even derogates Zhu Zi. It is said that Zhu Zi is not a sage of Confucius, and neither are his five princes. How can Zhuzi's commentary be the true meaning of Confucius, but the interpretation written by his five princes will be called fallacy."

"Your Majesty, you said that you still don't know how to repent for insulting the sages like this..."

"I really... really..."

As Song Lian spoke, he began to tremble again.He has been teaching for decades, how has he ever seen such a stubborn disciple?
It was the blessing of Confucius who didn't die in the past.

"You son of a bitch!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth.

When we were young, how many uneducated losses did we suffer?There is no such way to study.

I found the most learned Confucian in the world to be your teacher for you little brat, and you ended up explaining these few Analects like this?

How could he be so forceful as to disrespect teachers and saints?
Ignorant and incompetent, not a son of man!
"Two tigers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled at Erhu, the guard.

"Go, get us that traitor."

"Let's ask him face to face. He has been in Dahon Hall for so many years."

"What kind of dog stuff did you learn!"
