Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 303 Fang Xiaoru? Are you really not afraid of death?

By the time Zhu Zhen and Shen Wang finally finished their 'lunch', it was already getting late.

Since there are no electric lights, except for a faint candlelight faintly revealed through the window paper of some houses, the lively scene during the day has long since disappeared from the streets.

Zhu Zhen was walking alone on the street.

Shen Wang originally wanted to send him home first, but Zhu Xi refused.

It turns out that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had very strict specifications and systems for carriages, horses and sedans.

However, the policy was later relaxed. After all, people could not travel entirely by foot. Those with some ability still needed horse-drawn carriages.

There are also sedan chairs. Although they are not as ubiquitous as they were in the Qing Dynasty, at least now there is also a saying of "eight-carrying sedan chairs".

But the system of carriages and sedan chairs is still very complicated. For example, an ordinary businessman and rich man like Shen Wang can only ride in an inconspicuous ordinary pony carriage at most.

It's not that Zhu Ming dislikes it, it's mainly because it's close to home, and he happened to drink some wine just now, so it would be nice to take a few steps to relieve the alcohol smell.

Just like that, Zhu Zhen was preparing to wander all the way home.

But suddenly, someone blocked the way in front of him.

Zhu Ming raised his head and was stunned, was it him?

So, who is coming?

It was none other than Fang Xiaoru.

"Fang Xiaoru, a commoner, has met His Royal Highness the King of Dian," Fang Xiaoru still looked neither humble nor overbearing, but he was not in the Imperial College at this time, so he still honestly bowed to Zhu Chu with his fists and hands.

After all, he had also been a lecturer for Zhu Chu. Although he was beaten by Zhu Chu in public, he still felt that he could not do it if he was asked to kneel down and worship in the street.

"Fang Jiaoxue, why are you here? Are you blocking me here on purpose and want to challenge me to a duel? Come on, let's fight," Zhu Chu waved and was about to roll up his sleeves.

Fang Xiaoru's face turned dark.

Not to mention how he, a Confucian scholar, could block people and fight like a gangster, but he had also heard of His Highness's unparalleled military exploits. He even killed countless Tatars in the steppe. Did he think he had a long life?

So Fang Xiaoru shook his head: "I won't go. Your Highness, don't think of finding any excuse to beat me up. Didn't you think the trouble was not big enough last time? In the end, His Majesty even ordered you to drop out of school, and you still don't know how to repent?"

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then almost stopped laughing.

Fang Xiaoru is very good at fantasizing. Was he ordered to drop out of school? It's obvious that I don't want to go to school.

But there was no need to explain it clearly to him. Seeing that he had given in, Zhu Ming rolled up his sleeves and walked past Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru frowned, displeasure flashed in his eyes.

How can you say that you have also been his lecturer? This is not taking yourself seriously. How about your respect for teachers?

"Your Highness, even though you have made great contributions, you shouldn't be so arrogant, right? Do you still remember the Lan Yu case years ago? Lan Yu also made great achievements at the beginning, but what will happen in the end?" Fang Xiaoru turned around and looked at He touched Zhu Chu's back and said sternly.

Zhu Zhen stopped and his expression turned cold.

He even mentioned Sapphire? Even comparing himself to Sapphire?

So, who is Zhu Yuanzhang’s character? My eldest nephew? He couldn't control Zhu Yunwen, and he didn't deserve it.

A cold arc appeared at the corner of Zhu Chu's mouth. He simply turned around and asked Fang Xiaoru: "What? Are you here to criticize me with words and writings?"

"I don't dare," Fang Xiaoru said, but he said: "But no matter how great your achievements are, Your Highness, you shouldn't be more successful than the master, right? It should be noted that His Majesty is still alive today, so you shouldn't call yourself Saint." Are you sweating? Not to mention going to the palace with a sword, even drawing a murder weapon in the court, and speaking rudely to the emperor's grandson. You really don't want to be a son of a man or a minister of others. "

Zhu Zhen was so angry that he laughed.

I don’t know what kind of stupidity this Fang Xiaoru has. At the same time, I don’t know where he heard the news from, and he is so well-informed?

"It seems that you are very well-informed. Did Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng tell you this?" Zhu Ming could guess it.

These people are all so-called royalists, but they are not the emperor of the emperor, but the emperor of the emperor's grandson.

At least in their unilateral view, after the death of Prince Zhu Biao, only Zhu Biao's son, Zhu Yunwen, was qualified to be the crown prince.

Many of them were followers of the East Palace before, and people who used to be Zhu Biao, and now they naturally continue to crowd around Zhu Yunwen.

So they spontaneously wanted to charge into battle for Zhu Yunwen, and they also had to attack Zhu Zhen, because Zhu Zhen's contribution this time was really too great and terrible.

Once the grassland surrenders, it is very possible for Zhu Zhen to replace Zhu Yunwen as the new king, to put it bluntly.

Don’t you see that at the end of today’s court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang has already said that he will patrol the world on behalf of the emperor?

So these people were anxious, and Fang Xiaoru was also anxious, so they came to block Zhu Chu.

Judging from the posture, if Zhu Chu didn't come back by chance, he might have to stay here all night, because Zhu Chu might have to go to court tomorrow, and this is the only way to pass.

Zhu Ming was thinking about this and said with disdain: "How dare a group of arrogant guys with high ambitions and thin lives come to trouble me?"

Although Fang Xiaoru was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. He just continued to stare at Zhu Zhen, as if asking him to give him an answer.

"Actually, I know that you shout slogans that shake the world, but in fact, you are all about business. I said that your hearts are higher than the sky, and you still don't accept it? Why, you have to have the final say in everything in this world? The prince is Whoever is in charge has to listen to you? Is it necessary to listen to you on national affairs? If you don't listen, you are a fool, and if you don't listen, you are wrong? Who are you?" Zhu Ming really wants to ask Fang Xiaoru, are you not afraid that this king will punish you? Nine tribes?

But he was really afraid that Fang Xiaoru would say, "What if you kill my ten clans?"

Then Zhu Zhen was put on the fire.

After all, Zhu Ming is not the emperor yet.

"Why did Your Highness say this? Since ancient times, the emperor has established the eldest son, and His Royal Highness, the emperor's grandson, is the foundation of the country. Don't you see that the Mongol Empire was so powerful that it fell apart in the end because of the abolition of the eldest son?" Fang Xiaoru argued loudly.

In fact, the two people had a dispute here, which has attracted some people's attention.

After all, as mentioned before, the place where Zhu Chu lives is not simple. These are the residences of people with extraordinary status. They are either the palace of the prince (the princes of the Yuju and Weiju vass all have palaces) or the direct descendants of the Duke of the country. Again He must also be a prince.

These people's sense of smell is really extremely sensitive.

But no one came out to watch the fun. They all hid within the courtyard wall and listened. I don’t know what they were thinking.

Even in the dark corners, you can vaguely see the figures of Jin Yiwei or some other people.

"Why are there so many mice today?" Zhu Ming snorted and naturally noticed some movement, but he was too lazy to pay attention to these Xiaoxiao who didn't even dare to show up. Instead, he pointed his finger at Fang Xiaoru's nose: "If I didn't see your age, I would He's not young anymore, and he's a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken. I'm afraid this punch will turn into a situation where I beg you not to die, and I really have to give you a good beating."

Fang Xiaoru was startled and took a step back.

Someone chuckled nearby.

Please don't die? His Highness is really a wonderful person, and his words are very interesting.

"Although His Highness calls himself a military commander, he is not so rude, right? Or did my words leave you speechless? In fact, it's not just today, but you have always been unruly and unruly towards His Highness Taisun. Although you are His Highness is the uncle of the emperor, but your highness is the grandson of the emperor. Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been different. Have you ever had any respect for your highness, the grandson?" Fang Xiaoru felt embarrassed and angrily said with a red face.

If you really want to say it, Fang Xiaoru actually makes a lot of sense, because Zhu Yunwen is indeed the emperor's grandson canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang, which is equivalent to confirming his identity.

The emperor's grandson is equivalent to the crown prince, except that he is a grandson, so he is called the emperor's grandson. This is a title that can be traced back to the Western Jin Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Jia Nanfeng, the queen of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, killed the prince Sima Yu, so King Sima Lun of Zhao used this as an excuse to launch a coup. After killing Queen Jia, he made the prince's son Sima Zang, king of Linhuai, the emperor's grandson.

This also started the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Moreover, in addition to Sima Zang, Sima Shang, King of Xiangyang, also served as the emperor's grandson. There was no other reason than that they were both the youngest sons of the prince, and they were easy to control because of their young age.

After that, several dynasties also had the situation of establishing a crown prince and a grandson, so there is some evidence to be tested.

If he continues to hold on to this point, Zhu Ming will really be suspected of overstepping his bounds, just like Zhu Di said to Zhu Yunwen, "Unexpectedly, today will happen."

But who is Zhu Zhen? How could he be frightened by a few words from you, Fang Xiaoru?

So Zhu Ming sneered and said: "You said it yourself, your majesty is still alive today. He Zhu Yunwen is at most an emperor's grandson, so what? I, a noble prince, do not serve your majesty today, but become his minister? Fang Xiaoru!" Fang Xiaoru, are you going to rebel?" Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.

He didn't expect Zhu Xi's reaction to be so fast and so cruel.

You use the distinction between monarch and minister to deny the relationship between uncle and nephew, and want to bypass the fact that Zhu Zhen is Zhu Yunzhen's uncle?

That's good, Zhu Yunwen is my king, right? Then where do you put Emperor Hongwu?

Not to mention that Fang Xiaoru didn't dare to admit it. If Zhu Yunwen was here, he would probably be frightened to his knees. This is unacceptable.

"I didn't, I wasn't, I didn't dare," Fang Xiaoru quickly said no, and now she could only refuse to admit it.

There is a saying that Fang Xiaoru is really not afraid of death, but he is not afraid of death himself, but he does not want to smear Zhu Yunwen's reputation. This is the reason why he strongly denies it.

Again, don't say you are the emperor's grandson. Even if the crown prince Zhu Biao is resurrected, if you dare to threaten or provoke Zhu Yuanzhang's throne, you will be damned.

You can take what I give you, but I haven’t given it to you yet, so you can’t take it away. Otherwise, why didn’t Lao Zhu abdicate?

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is greedy for power, but that Lao Zhu has great ambitions that he feels have not yet been realized. He also has his own ideals in his heart, but he has no choice but to be shackled by his age.

If Zhu Yuanzhang were thirty years younger, would you try again?

The Central Plains was persecuted by corrupt officials and Yuan people from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and then experienced more than ten years of war. It was able to recover so quickly. Do you really think that the people themselves are lucky?

In addition, there had been constant wars in the early Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was pacified, there were several northern expeditions to the Saibei grassland, and there were rebellions by natives of various ethnic groups in various places.

If it weren't for Lao Zhu's ability, how could the situation in the early Ming Dynasty come about? Now, even if it can't be called a so-called grand event, the people of the world can at least live and work in peace and contentment.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty also had the rule of Yongle and Renxuan, which were collectively called the Yongxuan period.

Not only the Tang Dynasty had the rule of Zhenguan, but also the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong, and the Ming Dynasty also had it.

Moreover, the Hongwu period and the Yongle period are closely connected. Who do you think left the foundation for the three emperors of Zhu Di's family?

So Zhu Yuanzhang really wasn't occupying the position and refused to go down. Lao Zhu was the Hongwu Emperor, a great one. No matter from every aspect, even Zhu Chu admired him deeply and was even fooled around by Lao Zhu.

It is easy for this father to control his son. That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang is old now and is too lazy to make trouble with him, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang will have to be honest.

Therefore, it was difficult for Zhu Biao to succeed. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who paved the way for the prince, and Zhu Biao had a smooth journey.

Zhu Yunwen? He couldn't even grasp it.

Zhu Xi looked at Fang Xiaoru with a sneer, "You really deserve to die. Even I am not willing to fall out with Lao Zhu now, and even avoid him. Are you really afraid that Zhu Yunwen will not die?"

"And what did you just say?" Zhu Ming pretended to be thinking and recounted Fang Xiaoru's words: "Since ancient times, it has been the establishment of direct descendants, right? Then let me ask you, are the two emperors Yao and Shun related to each other as father and son? Shun and Is there a father-son relationship between Yu?”

As soon as these words came out, not only Fang Xiaoru was dumbfounded, but also the people around him who were secretly watching the excitement were also dumbfounded.

"good."

Inside the courtyard wall of Duke Wei's mansion, Xu Da gave an excited praise, which also attracted an angry look from the Jia family nearby. Please keep your voice down.

It turns out that the Xu Mansion is nearby. The servants blocked Fang Xiaoru here before, presumably waiting for their uncle's affairs to be conveyed to the mansion, so everyone in the Xu family was waiting.

Although they didn't come out, they were always paying attention.

Xu Miaojin and her third sister Xu Miaozhen stood together, originally tense, worried and angry. They wished they could stand on horseback, pick up their guns, rush out and shoot Fang Xiaoru to death.

This girl has a murderous spirit on the grassland. She exudes a murderous aura that prevents strangers from entering. Even her brothers looked sideways and did not dare to provoke her.

Now she finally showed a smile.

Xu Miaojin is a proud daughter of heaven who is both civilized and military, intelligent and intelligent. She rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile and said: "What a bad person."

"But it's wonderful," Mrs. Jia glanced at her daughter, just enjoy it secretly.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Xu Yingxu scratched his head, but still couldn't figure it out.

Jia Shi smiled and explained: "You all know that Fang Xiaoru is a world-famous Confucian scholar. As a Confucian scholar, their Confucius and Meng sages admired the Five Emperors the most, including Emperor Yao, Emperor Shun, and Emperor Shun. Yu.”

"But these three ancient emperors are not related by blood. Emperor Yao's father was Emperor Ku, it is said that Emperor Shun's father was Gusou, and Emperor Yu's father was Gun."

"They were not related by blood, but Emperor Yao abdicated the throne to Emperor Shun, and Emperor Shun became Zen to Emperor Yu. This is the Zen throne system."

"To put it bluntly, Fang Xiaoru follows the inheritance system in an orderly manner, which is the five ethics: father and son are related, husband and wife are distinguished, elders and children are orderly, monarch and ministers are righteous, and friends are trustworthy." But that brat follows the system of abdication. , and even brought out the two sages Confucius and Mencius to veto him."

At the end of the sentence, even Jia's smile had a hint of a smirk.

Fang Xiaoru is a well-known Confucian in this era, but Zhu Chu is blocking you because you are a Confucian saint. How can you refute? No matter how you say it, it's wrong.

That's why Xu Miaojin just said that Zhu Zhen is a bad person, simply bad. Isn't this trying to squeeze Fang Xiaoru to death?

You speak, you say, how do you say it?

Try a rebuttal? If you dare to refute, you are committing treason and deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors. Are you denying the views of the saints? Do you want to overthrow the ancient virtuous kings and emperors respected by the two sages Confucius and Mencius?

And those are the Five Emperors of Humanity, how dare you deny it?

After Jia's explanation, the three brothers of the Xu family finally came to their senses.

It can also be seen that the reason why Xu Miaojin is talented and intelligent must have inherited Jia's intelligence, and Jia's knowledge reserve is also very sufficient, which makes Xu Miaojin proficient in all poems, lyrics, and songs.

Look outside again.

On the street, Fang Xiaoru's face turned purple and purple from holding back, and then turned red again.

Zhu Ming was really worried that he would be so angry that he would pass away.

"The abdication system has existed since ancient times. Even in the Shang Dynasty, although it was Shang Tang who overthrew the Xia Dynasty and conquered the Xia Dynasty, Cheng Tang did not take credit and get carried away. Instead, he still held a meeting of princes as a prince to discuss who would inherit the Xia Dynasty. The position of king.”

"That's why the princes have finally surrendered and established merchants in Chengtang."

Why did the Shang Dynasty have the theory of Shang Tang? It is because the Shang Dynasty was established by Chengtang.

There is also an allusion to Chengtang. It is said that a hunter once set up a bird-catching net, and it was all hung up in the southeast, northwest, and it can be said to be a dragnet.

Chengtang lamented that only Xia Jie could be so cruel. He wanted to kill all the birds in the forest.

So Cheng Tang removed three sides, but he couldn't let the hunter starve to death, so he left only one side.

Only later generations have the allusion of a net opening on three sides. In fact, it is a net opening on three sides, not one side.

The saying of "opening up one side of the net" came about because in the Qing Dynasty, when some people used allusions, it was called "opening up one side of the net". Later, it gradually spread and became "opening up one side of the net".

"Now there is the Ming Dynasty. My father, Emperor Hongwu, saw that all life in the world was in ruins and could not bear the suffering of the people, so he launched an uprising and drove away the cruel and unkind rulers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, thus establishing the current Ming Dynasty."

"I won't say that my father is comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times, nor is he comparable to the saint Cheng Tang. Is he also a wise and powerful founder of the country?"

"But is my father a child of the Meng Yuan Tatars? Did my father inherit the position of emperor?"

"I am really going to say it today, high positions should be occupied by those who are capable. Do princes and generals like Xiang Ning have any kind of talent? My father Zhu Yuanzhang, my father-in-law Xu Da, as well as Tang He, Chang Yuchun and others were all at the beginning. Mud-legged son, aren’t you already making great achievements and creating a prosperous world?”

"If you have the ability, think more about the common people in the world and think about the common people. Don't use the words of saints to do your own convenience. I said it in the court, you so-called literati, you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but you have everything in your belly. It’s dirty personal interests. It’s all bullshit.”

"When you have time, go show off to others, take a pee and take a look at yourself. What the hell."

When Zhu Ming had enough of scolding, he flicked his sleeves, leaving Fang Xiaoru messy in the wind, with his whole face twitching, and turned around and left.

However, he failed to return home, and was blocked by Xu Huizu on the way: "Your Highness, you are so majestic. Come on, come in and talk, my father asked you, when did he become your father-in-law? You Shameless, we still want it."
