Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 125 Knowledge is not static

Zhu Xuan's confrontation with Fang Xiaoru spread throughout certain circles in the capital.

Those things such as studying things to gain knowledge and integrating knowledge with action were published in the newspaper by Zhu Yunxi. It was published this morning and circulated again. Anyone who is literate and has read the newspaper will basically know what Zhu Xuan did.

Among the many people's eyes, Zhu Xuan found one person's eyes full of resentment.

Without thinking, he knew that it must be Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to them, returned to his seat and sat down, letting them be shocked.

"Little brother!"

Zhu Yunxi first asked: "Grandpa Huang, didn't he spank you yesterday?"

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "I convinced Grandpa Huang and I didn't get beaten, but after today, I will not come to the main hall again."

"My little brother is right not to come!"

Zhu Yunxi thought that even Fang Xiaoru was like this.

Zhu Xuan probably won't learn anything when he comes to the main hall again, so he might as well do something else.

Zhu Song came back just in time. Hearing Zhu Xuan's words, he immediately asked: "Where will Xiao Yunxuan go if he doesn't come to the main hall?"

The three of them, uncle and nephew, formed an iron triangle. Zhu Xuan was suddenly missing, which made Zhu Song very uncomfortable.

"Next, I want to learn the art of war."

Zhu Xuan explained: "I also want to help Grandpa Huang train the new army. I want to be a general."

Zhu Song and Zhu Yunxi: "..."

They felt that Zhu Xuan was just messing around. With Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude and what Zhu Xuan had done in the past few years, it was enough to wait to become the emperor. There was no need to train troops to become a general, and there was no need to bother so much. The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang still Did you agree to let Zhu Xuan join the army?
  Neither Zhu Song nor Zhu Yunxi could guess what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

However, Zhu Yunxi didn't really have much feelings for the emperor. When he had time, he still had to persuade his uncle and grandpa to restrain themselves and stop acting recklessly. Otherwise, Lao Zhu would take care of Lan Yu in a minute, so that after his younger brother takes the throne, there would be no obstacles. .

"Brother, are you serious?"

Zhu Yunxi asked again.

"Seriously, of course!"

Zhu Xuan affirmed: "I also thought that conquering wider rivers and mountains for the Ming Dynasty would not be possible in the long term by staying in Yingtian. I told Grandpa Huang all this."

Zhu Song and Zhu Yunxi looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

However, if Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to agree, there must be some arrangement, so they can't speculate too much.

While they were chatting, Fang Xiaoru walked into the main hall.

Today, Fang Xiaoru looks a little haggard. I don't know if he stayed up late last night to study things or because he was visited by other colleagues and stayed up too late.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Zhu Xuan knew that he had not slept well last night.

Fang Xiaoru simply arranged the tasks and was about to rest in the back hall. Zhu Xuan quickly followed.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were still jealous.

Originally, Fang Xiaoru was also the team assigned to him by Grandpa Huang, but now those gentlemen completely ignored him.

"I will take it all back."

Zhu Yunwen clenched his hands into fists, but his eyes revealed a trace of confidence that he didn't know where it came from.

"gentlemen!"

Zhu Xuan came to Fang Xiaoru, poured him a cup of tea, and said softly: "I came to say goodbye to your husband. I will not come to the main hall again."

"I know about this. Someone came to notify me yesterday."

Fang Xiaoru was a little reluctant to let Zhu Xuan leave the main hall. He pondered for a moment and asked: "What are your highness's plans next?"

Zhu Xuan solemnly said: "I am ready to join the army and conquer the world for the Ming Dynasty!"     "Join the army?"

Fang Xiaoru wondered how His Majesty could be willing to allow such a good young man to join the army. Of course, he would stay to study.

Even if you can't become an emperor in the future, you can still be a saint.

He always felt that Zhu Xuan's thoughts were too jumpy and could easily go astray. If he could continue to stay by his side and correct all the detours, his future learning would be better.

Maybe even a saint can be cultivated.

The little grandson of the emperor has the appearance of a saint!
  Thinking that he might bring out a saint, Fang Xiaoru suddenly became excited and said, "Aren't you going to think about it?"

In the past, all his thoughts were focused on Zhu Yunwen.

Now that Zhu Yunwen was dying, he began to pay attention to other princes and grandsons. Only Zhu Xuan made him worry the most. He learned things the fastest and had the best comprehension ability. Even the former Zhu Yunwen was far inferior.

If Zhu Xuan is willing to stay, even if he no longer treats him as his student and treats him as a friend, Fang Xiaoru will have the confidence to change all of Zhu Xuan's wrong ways and help Zhu Xuan become a saint wholeheartedly.

Zhu Xuan has no intention of becoming a saint, and he also knows that he is unworthy and has no qualifications to be a saint.

Of course, he could also see the meaning of Fang Xiaoru letting him think about it.

"Thank you sir, but this is not my ambition."

Zhu Xuan refused. Seeing Fang Xiaoru's sincere eyes, he thought about it and said: "I have recently realized a truth. I don't know if it is right or not, so I want to tell you. I feel that the thoughts of Confucius, Mencius, Cheng, and Zhu are not static. Those thoughts Ethics and morals do not necessarily require blind obedience.”

Fang Xiaoru's state is that of blind obedience, thinking that everything is set in stone.

He will think that everything the saint says and does is correct, cannot be wrong, and must be inherited in its entirety.

Blind worship is not advisable.

"Sir, have you ever considered why a saint can become a saint?"

"Sir, you study so hard to become a saint, why can't you become a saint?"

"If you change the method of learning, change the things that are the same, change them appropriately, and think about why this is the case from a different angle, does Mr. Fang think he can become a saint?"

Zhu Xuan finally said.

If I had said these words before yesterday.

Fang Xiaoru must have been furious. He also said that Zhu Xuan was apostate, deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors, and dared to deny Confucianism and saints.

With yesterday's foreshadowing, Fang Xiaoru accepted it all at once.

Think deeper.

It does make sense.

Why can a saint be a saint but not become a saint himself?
  Maybe if we study those knowledge in another direction, everything is possible. After all, everything in the past has been thoroughly studied. If we can really study something, will it be his turn?
  Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Xuan in surprise.

He was shocked that these words could come from a child.

This kid is a waste of talent if he doesn't learn anything.

However, Zhu Xuan's thoughts were not controlled and decided by Fang Xiaoru. Since he refused, he could not force it. He got up again, performed the apprenticeship ceremony again, and said: "Thank you, little emperor, for your advice to me."

"Sir, don't do this."

Zhu Xuan could only return the greeting and said: "If people outside know that Sir is saluting again, it will make me even more unbelievable. I am here to say goodbye to Sir."

After saying that, he returned the greeting and officially left the main hall.

Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Xuan's back and sighed softly. It was a pity for this good young man, but he also thought about what Zhu Xuan just said.

He had a feeling that as long as he understood it thoroughly, he would be able to realize his own knowledge and there would be no need to keep pursuing saints.
