Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 157 Song Lian's Feelings

Zhu Biao seemed to be Su Jing's substitute teacher, passing on what Su Jing taught to his younger brothers one by one.

It was like this for several days.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also happy to see the success. Zhu Biao's doing so is beneficial to enhance his majesty in front of Lao Zhu's other sons.

Brothers and friends, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's request to his sons.

Whether it is the love among the people, the majesty among the officials, or the harmony among brothers.

Zhu Biao must have.

Prince, you should do your best in all aspects so that you can inherit the great rule in the future.

However, at this time, the mood of the two of them was not so good.

Wen Yuanji, the imperial censor, and Fan Xianzu, the prince's guest.

These two are both teachers of Dahontang, although they are not as prestigious as Song Lian, and their knowledge is not as profound as Song Lian.

But it is still possible to be a lecturer.

And when Zhu Biao was giving lectures to his younger brothers these days, the two of them also attended some of them.

As two people who have been deeply influenced by Confucianism, they were not as shocked as the princes or Kaos by the knowledge Zhu Biao said.

They only think that what the prince Zhu Biao learned is heresy.

"Master Wen, I don't think this matter can go on any longer."

Outside the main hall, Fan Xianzu said to Wen Yuanji with a serious expression.

Wen Yuanji nodded: "Master Fan is right, I never thought that the crown prince learned all these things."

"That Mr. Su, I'm afraid he is a bully!"

Speaking of Su Jing, Wen Yuanji's expression immediately became very indignant.

Teach the prince, don't let him learn the Confucian classics, and don't learn the words of the sages, and engage in those messy things, will the prince still grow on the right path in the future?
"Unfortunately, His Majesty seems to value that Mr. Su very much. We are soft-spoken, and even if we really make suggestions, it may be useless."

Fan Xianzu sighed.

Su Jing's reputation in the palace is not small, and many people have heard of it.

As a prince teacher, he is not something that anyone can touch porcelain casually.

Wen Yuanji said: "Should the prince be allowed to go further and further on this wrong path? If this matter lasts for a long time, it will be very disadvantageous to scholars all over the world!"

"What Master Wen said is true. His Royal Highness will continue to be taught by Mr. Nasu truthfully. It is also possible that Confucianism will decline in the future."

Fan Xianzu agreed.

After all, the ass decides the head, and what these two people care about is the status of Confucianism.

Since Dong Zhongshu put forward the idea of ​​the interaction between man and nature, Confucianism has become the theory most in line with royal rule, and the status of Confucianism has also risen, and the same is true for Confucian scholars.

In today's Ming Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism are compulsory subjects for scholars.

But if the prince Zhu Biao no longer studied Confucianism, when he ascended the throne and became emperor, would the status of Confucianism still be the same as it is now?

A sense of crisis shrouded Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu's hearts.

It's just that the two of them are also aware of the current situation, and it's not enough to stand out by themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really annoyed, and I was afraid that he would be too hungry to walk around.

Prince Zhu Biao is no longer a child.

Not long ago, the supervisor of the Kongyin case killed people's heads, and killed all officials in fear.

afraid!
Still one word: fear!
Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

At the moment, in the main hall, Zhu Biao is still explaining the principles of economics.

"Master Wen, I thought we couldn't wait any longer."

Fan Xianzu's face darkened.

Wen Yuanji glanced at the situation in the main hall, nodded and said: "That's true, Master Fan is going to perform? I will be with Master Fan!"

At this moment, Wen Yuanji already has the belief to charge forward, even if he is disgusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, it must be done.

However, Fan Xianzu shook his head and said: "Master Wen, you and I are soft-spoken, I have a better way."

"Huh? Master Fan, please elaborate."

Wen Yuanji immediately became interested. This is not a way to rush by yourself. What is it?
Fan Xianzu immediately leaned into Wen Yuanji's ear and whispered.

After a while, Wen Yuanji's face showed a touch of excitement and said: "Master Fan's method is good, let's go now."

The two of them immediately asked for leave and left the Daben Hall, and went straight out of the Forbidden City.

Their target is Song Lian, the lecturer of the Prince's Five Classics.

Song House.

Since Prince Zhu Biao went to study with Su Jing, the number of times he went to the Daben Hall to teach has been greatly reduced.

The whole person is also a lot more low-key, basically in an invisible state above the court.

But he did not sit idle, but took advantage of this opportunity to speed up the revision of "Yuan Shi".

This was the first year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to him to appoint Song Lian and Wang Yi as the chief executive officers of "Yuan History", majoring in Yuan History.

It is a very important and important project to revise the history books of the dynasty.

Song Lian's ability to be entrusted with such an important task is enough to show his status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Even though Lao Zhu was dissatisfied because of the previous incident, he did not convict him for it.

Therefore, Song Lian worked extraordinarily hard on the matter of compiling "Yuan History".

Now, the first revised "Yuan History" is already in Song Lian's hands.

"Brother Jing Lian, it's finally finished!"

At this moment, at Song Lian's home, Wang Yi is also there. They are both CEOs, and they work together and have a good relationship.

"Zichong, thanks to you!"

Song Lian looked at Wang Yi, his excitement couldn't be concealed.

The compilation of "History of the Yuan Dynasty" is a big project, and Wang Yi also played a huge role in it. Song Lian is not a small-minded person, and he still has a heart for this.

Wang Yi immediately said: "At last we have lived up to His Majesty's entrustment, we should enter the palace quickly and report the good news to Your Majesty."

It was the edict issued by Lao Zhu at the beginning, this meeting will be completed, and it is a matter of course to report to him.

This is a great achievement.

"Okay, then let's go together."

Song Lian nodded.

He heard that Zhu Biao was back, and as the prince's teacher, he taught Zhu Biao the longest time.

Even though it was a little unpleasant before, it did not hinder the relationship between him and Zhu Biao.

It is also good to stop by to see Zhu Biao.

At this moment, two figures appeared in front of Song Lian and Wang Yi.

"Master Song, Mr. Wang, it seems that the next official came just in time."

Fan Xianzu bowed to the two of them with great respect.

Wen Yuanji on the side also saluted and said: "Master Song, Lord Wang."

Song Lian was slightly taken aback, a little confused about the situation.

After his prince Zhu Biao went to Su Jing's place, his status as a prince teacher plummeted.

Many officials who had a good relationship before did not have much contact with them later.

After all, all the princes were snatched away by Su Jing, and Song Lian, the biggest prince teacher, must be in an embarrassing situation.

Like Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu, they haven't seen each other for some time.

Song Lian is clear about the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

He was not surprised, he still remembered Liu Bowen's words.

"Master Wen, Lord Fan, why are you here?"

Although Song Lian was puzzled, he still asked Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu, with the same expression on his face.

The matter of Su Jing taught him a great lesson.

Some things just need to be done well.

Fan Xianzu said this, but directly looked at the "Yuan History" in Song Lian's hand.

"Master Song, has this "Yuan History" been compiled and revised?"

Fan Xianzu asked Song Lian.

Song Lian nodded and said, "That's right, I just finished the revision, and I'm about to enter the palace to present to His Majesty."

"Congratulations, Mr. Song, congratulations, Mr. Wang!"

Fan Xianzu immediately congratulated Song Lian and Wang Yi.

Wen Yuanji also immediately echoed: "Your Majesty personally ordered the two adults to major in "Yuan History". Now it has only been more than a year, and the two adults have revised it. If your majesty knows, you will be overjoyed! Wen Yuan Ji is here to congratulate the two adults."

Although I know it's flattering, everyone likes to hear such nice words.

"Master Wen and Lord Fan are joking, we are just fulfilling His Majesty's entrustment, it is nothing."

Wang Yan replied with a smile, the joy on his face already explained everything.

Song Lian's face was not very happy, but continued to ask: "What's the matter with the two adults? It shouldn't be just to thank you."

Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu looked at each other, and then said together:

"Master Song, there is indeed a matter that concerns the fate of scholars all over the world, please ask Master Song to come forward!"

While speaking, the two also bowed directly to Song Lian and saluted Song Lian, almost kneeling down.

This attitude, quite sincere, only brought the suspense to the top.

Wang Yi looked at the two with a strange expression on his face.

He looked at Song Lian again, as if he wanted to get something from Song Lian's face.

The fate of scholars in the world.

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

Song Lian's complexion sank slightly, but he looked much calmer than Wang Yi.

He said: "Are the two adults joking? I, Song Lian, have no virtue. I can't control the major issues of scholars in the world."

Although he didn't know what happened to Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu, but his intuition told himself that there was a high probability that it had something to do with Su Jing.

Hearing this, Wen Yuanji immediately said: "Master Song, you must know about the prince's return recently."

Prince Zhu Biao!

When Song Lian heard this, he immediately became vigilant.

He nodded and said: "Indeed, I have heard a little bit, but I don't know what Master Wen said, what is the relationship with the crown prince?"

Anything involving Prince Zhu Biao must inevitably involve Su Jing.

Song Lian was quite cautious.

This made Fan Xianzu on the side a little surprised. He and Wen Yuanji had made the matter so serious, yet Song Lian's reaction was still so flat.

Should not be!

Wen Yuanji continued: "Lord Song, the crown prince has been giving lectures in the main hall these days, all of which are taught by Mr. Su. Sir Fan and I have been listening for a few days, and we agree that His Royal Highness has gone astray. Correction, that would be a great disaster!"

The prince has gone astray!
Wen Yuanji's words already sounded dangerous.

Even Fan Xianzu who came with him was a little panicked, he hurriedly added:

"Mr. Wen means that what Mr. Su taught the prince is heresy, the classics of the sages, and the words of the sages are absolutely insignificant. His Royal Highness is not deeply involved in the world, so he was deceived by him! Please come forward and tell His Highness the Prince. , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to crack the scam."

Fan Xianzu did not dare to say that Prince Zhu Biao was not good, at most he was deceived.

Lao Zhu's protection of Zhu Biao's shortcomings has reached a certain level.

Except for himself, if anyone else dared to say that Zhu Biao was not good, there was a high probability that they would be unlucky.

Of course, Su Jing is an exception for the time being.

"Lord Song, Wen Yuanji knows that His Highness the Crown Prince has a deep relationship with you, and only Lord Song can rely on this matter, otherwise the future of scholars in this world will be in jeopardy!"

Wen Yuanji said very sincerely.

Only Prince Zhu Biao accepted Confucianism education, continued to deepen it, and thoroughly agreed with Confucianism in his heart.

Only the status of Confucianism can be stabilized, and those scholars who study Confucian classics intensively can maintain their current status.

This is not alarmist talk, this is a fact that Wen Yuanji deeply recognizes in his heart.

He believes that Song Lian, who is a great Confucian, must be aware of this truth.

"Is there such a thing?"

Listening to Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu's words, Wang Yi also showed shock on his face.

He doesn't know much about Su Jing, and he has basically been editing "Yuan History" for more than a year.

Now hearing what the two of them said, I suddenly felt that the matter had become serious.

Wang Yi is also a master of Confucianism, and he deeply recognizes the orthodoxy of Confucianism in his heart.

I heard that Prince Zhu Biao did not study Confucian classics, nor did he learn the words of sages. This is a big deal.

"It's absolutely true! Lord Wang, Lord Wen and I have been listening in the Daben Hall for a few days. What His Royal Highness is talking about are all the techniques of the three teachings and nine streams, and they are just heresy."

Fan Xianzu said eagerly: "If Lord Wang doesn't believe it, he can enter the palace now. His Royal Highness is still talking."

At this moment, Wang Yan couldn't sit still anymore, and said to Song Lian, "Brother Jing Lian, this matter is indeed serious. It seems that you and I can't just sit idly by."

His Royal Highness stopped studying Confucian classics, and instead studied some messy things.

This is a major event that will shake the foundation of scholars.

"Master Song, you are the lecturer of the Prince's Five Classics, and you are the only one who can do this!"

Fan Xianzu asked Song Lian again.

He and Wen Yuanji don't have enough weight, but Song Lian has more weight.

In particular, the revision of "Yuan History" has just been completed, which is a great achievement.

It can be done!

Fan Xianzu still had some confidence in his heart.

however.

"Zichong, don't be impatient."

Song Lian said to Wang Yin: "This matter is still unclear, so don't rush to draw a conclusion."

This.
Both Fan Xianzu and Wen Yuanji were stunned.

Still unknown?

Not in a hurry to draw conclusions?

Could it be that they haven't described the seriousness of the matter yet?

Should not be!

Even Wang Yi took the initiative to be lighthearted, so how could Song Lian remain indifferent?

"Master Song, if you don't believe us, you can go to the main hall to find out by yourself. I believe Master Song will see it."

"Needless to say, I know this."

Fan Xianzu still wanted to continue persuading, but Song Lian interrupted him directly and said: "When I hand over the "Yuan History" to His Majesty, I will understand, two adults, please go back."

Speaking of this, Song Lian is already chasing customers.

Wang Yi was a little puzzled and wanted to say something, but Song Lian stopped him with direct eyes.

Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu felt something was wrong, but they didn't know exactly what was wrong.

"Then don't bother Mr. Song."

The two of them knew it would be useless to talk too much, so they turned around and left.

Song Lian looked at the backs of the two leaving, shook his head slightly and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable!"
