Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the opportunity to speak. In fact, Your Majesty is wrong. The book I wrote indiscriminately is not intended to make people indulge in the desire of men and women, and waste their careers and studies. Back to the previous question. , what is Fengyueshu?"

Hongzhi: "Then tell me, what is Fengyueshu?"

Su Mu didn't give Hongzhi time to think, and replied: "I have read a lot of this novel, and when I am tired from reading everyday, I just read two books at random to relieve boredom. From my point of view, normal men and women Marriage, the husband and wife's bridal chamber is a great gift of human relations, not romantic."

"Indeed, it's true that the reproduction of descendants so that ancestors can enjoy incense and sacrifices is a common ethics, and it really doesn't count." Unknowingly, Emperor Hongzhi had entered the theoretical framework set by Su Mu.

Su Mu: "The so-called Fengyue, I thought about it, and it can be summed up in two words."

"Which two words?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Stealing people." Su Mu pretended to be terrified: "Men steal women, women steal men."

"Puchi!" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing: "It's really incisively summed up."

The other eunuchs suppressed their laughter and seemed to be working very hard.

Su Mu: "So, the normal relationship between a man and a woman is nothing. You can discuss it openly, and the saints don't shy away from it. There are also related words and etiquette in the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, between husband and wife, between husband and concubine, there should be There are rules for a few nights together."

Hong Zhi thought about it and patted his forehead: "I remember, Confucius said that a gentleman shares the same bed four times every ten days, otherwise it is a violation of the etiquette."

Su Mu: "This book is just using the words of the characters in the book to explain the disadvantages of indulging in male and female sex. For example, in No. 12, Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau, and Jia Tianxiang was looking at the wind and moon. Doesn't it explain the disadvantages of this matter. "

"There is this section later." As soon as the emperor stretched out his hand, an eunuch picked up the manuscript and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Hongzhi turned to that chapter, and after only a few glances, he was fascinated.

The hall fell silent, only the sound of the emperor flipping a book was left.

That Xu Can frowned unknowingly, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.Seeing the emperor's appearance, Su Mu was completely leading him by the nose, maybe he really let Su Mu get away today.

I have already met Su Mutu, and when we meet in the future, it will be an enemy rather than a friend.With Su Mu's talent, there will inevitably be many troubles in the future, as long as he speaks ill of himself in front of the prince, it will be enough for me, Xu Can, to suffer in the future.

Thinking about it, Xu Can clenched his fists.

Su Mu also sneered in his heart: Mr. Xu, although I don't know why you put me, Su Mu, to death.However, I am not so easy to mess with. Well, if you want to fight, fight. From now on, we will meet each other one day.

This was the first time Su Mu fought back and forth on the verge of life and death after traveling to the Ming Dynasty. While being vigilant, he was really angry.

Can't help but look up, two pairs of murderous eyes collided in the air, as if sparks were about to burst out.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi put down the manuscript in hand, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Jia Rui coveted Sister Feng's beauty, and finally ended up like this. He deserved what he deserved. It's really gratifying. As far as this story is concerned, the prince fell You can read it. Su Mu’s story is beautifully written, and it’s even rarer to be entertaining and educational, not bad, not bad.”

After saying this sentence, Su Mu felt completely relieved, at least his life was saved.Of course, in the emperor's mind, his status cannot be restored to the level of the unruly talented and well-educated Confucian.However, as long as you are alive, you have a chance.

Xu Can's complexion also changed drastically, and he yelled secretly: No, this Su Mu is really cunning, so he can escape unharmed.If this person stays with the prince, I, Xu Can, will really die without a place to die in the future.No matter what, even if it doesn't kill him this time, he has to be driven out of Xiyuan.

Xu Can said: "Long live, although this book has some value, novels are still novels. According to the royal rules, the crown prince can't read those random books outside except for the words of sages in the Four Books and Five Classics. I know what kind of discounts will be written."

"It is indeed..." the emperor pondered.

Seeing that the emperor was wavering, Xu Can continued, "Su Mu brought idle books into the imperial palace. Death is inevitable, but living is inevitable. Long live the benevolence, and the servants admire him, but Su Mu is not suitable to walk in the East Palace. Get out of Xiyuan."

"Well, indeed." The emperor nodded

Su Mu's heart tightened, if he was expelled from Xiyuan and dismissed from his reputation, wouldn't his hard work in the past year be in vain?

This Xu Can is really vicious.

He smiled again: "I, Su Mu, didn't bring this book into the palace, but I kept it at home. As a result, the prince borrowed it from the minister's family. Your Majesty can check it out. Besides, this is not an idle book." !"

"Isn't this an idle book or something? Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Can asked viciously.

Emperor Hongzhi also frowned displeased: "Su Mu, this is indeed just a novel."

Su Mu shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and proudly recited Mr. Lu Xun's comments on "A Dream of Red Mansions": "Confucius scholars see "Yi", Taoists see obscenity, talented people see lingering, careerists see fullness, gossipers see The secrets of the palace. Baoyu, who was written by the minister, saw him and saw many deaths. Those who proved to be many loved ones should be in great distress, because there are many unfortunate people in the world. But those who hate others gloat and enjoy their misfortunes. , there are few obstacles. Therefore, the characters described in it are all real characters."

This is Su Mu's major, so he recited it word for word without even thinking about it.

Then, he paused: "Other people read this book to see Fengyue, the palace, and lingering. But who is the prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, how can it be possible to hang this kind of children's feelings in the middle of the world?" chest?"

His son was Emperor Hongzhi's darling. Hearing him mention Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't help asking: "What is the prince reading this book?"

"Family."

Su Mu's face was full of skin: "What you look at is the rise and fall of the four major families, the honor and disgrace, what you look at is the world's affairs and human relationships. A country, a country is composed of families. The prince was born in a deep palace, but he knows nothing about the outside world. But After reading this book, he said to his ministers: This is how the subjects live. It is not easy to manage a family. There are many dangers in people's hearts, entanglements of interests, and economic affairs. There are all kinds of complex and changeable things. Let alone a country. As a king, one should be cautious as if walking on thin ice, and be modest and prudent in everything. This is a qualified king. The prince said that after reading the novels of his ministers, he knows how much a pair of shoes sells for, and how many taels of silver a person in the capital is worth. How much is a stone of rice? How much does it cost a family to maintain a day's livelihood, all of which have never been heard before."

Su Mu honestly put gold on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, and his voice trembled: "Su Mu, the crown prince really said, 'A king should be trembling with trepidation, be modest and prudent in everything, and this can be regarded as a qualified king'?"

Su Mu nodded seriously and didn't say another word.

Modesty and prudence, the future Emperor Zhengde will not have such virtues.These four words are also appropriate for Emperor Hongzhi, and when he said them, they fell right into his arms.

"That's right, that's right. I'm so relieved that the prince can think so." Emperor Hongzhi's eyes turned red, and he didn't care about Su Mu any more.

Perhaps, as Su Mu said, there is no harm in letting the prince know the world affairs and human relations outside.As the king of a country, he doesn't even know how much a stone of rice sells outside. This emperor is not much better than the clay Buddha in the temple.

If by reading this book, the prince can establish the correct concept of men and women, understand how the subjects of the world live, and understand that running a country is like running a family, it is not easy, even if I die, I have nothing to worry about.

……

When Hongzhi read Su Mu's "Dream of Red Mansions" before, he only felt that his eyes were wide open, and he also vaguely felt that reading this book gave him a clear understanding of the world outside the palace, but he had not risen to the level of governing the country. How to be a qualified king.

Now listening to Su Mu, I suddenly wake up: From this point of view, Su Mu is not only innocent, but has meritorious service!

No, letting the prince read novels has become a great achievement. Why do I think this is so weird?

Su Mu is indeed a genius, you clearly know that what he said is crooked, but you agree with it in your heart, hehe, this person is interesting.

Seeing the relief on Emperor Hongzhi's face, Xu Can immediately became anxious, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start them.

There is really no way to argue.

He was already dumbfounded, and couldn't help muttering: "Heretics, heresy, heresy, heresy, heresy!"

"It is indeed suspected of deviant." Emperor Hongzhi stood up with a wry smile, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and looked at the snowflakes floating in the air outside.

Suddenly, some interest faded: "If you talk about absurdity and apostasy, who can compare with the prince. The so-called one emperor and one courtier, it is not strange that the prince has a courtier like Su Mu around him. It is normal to order tofu with brine. The prince may not be able to understand the truth, perhaps, Su Mu..."

Saying that he knew this, he stopped abruptly.

Xu Can was terrified when he heard this, and heard the meaning of Long Live Lord's words, not only would he not punish Su Mu today, but he intended to leave him to the prince as his team after he ascended the throne in the future.

No, absolutely not like this... I, Xu Can, have not only offended Liu Jin among the servants, but also Su Mu among the foreign officials.Liu Jin is nothing to be afraid of.But judging from Su Mu's performance today, this person is not the kind of bookworm who never changes.Whether it is eloquence, scheming or means, they are all first-class.

If this person gains power in the future, I, Xu Can, will really be dead.

After watching the snow for a long time, the emperor calmed down and turned to Su Mu, "Su Mu."

Su Mu: "The minister is here."

Emperor Hongzhi: "What you said is all fallacy, but it is not without merit. No matter how you say it, your loyalty to the prince and the court is undeniable. As a person, as long as you persist in righteousness, the result will be good. It doesn't matter what you do. Isn't this the code of conduct for you disciples of Lu Jiuyuan?"

"Long live is right, I listen to the teachings."

"However, the palace has its own system, but this book can no longer be read by the prince, so I will keep it in my hand! By the way, it seems that I haven't finished writing it yet. Is there a manuscript?"

"Ah!" Su Mu couldn't help shouting: Why is this scene so familiar?

By the way, when I was in middle school, I was caught by the teacher for peeking at novels in class. Didn’t they also say that it was temporarily confiscated?But when the teacher got the novel, did he read it with gusto?
