Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 214 Saint Teacher

   "What..." Liu Jian was surprised when he heard it. He was extremely surprised. He threw Liu Daxia's statutes on the ground in an instant, and asked excitedly, "Your Majesty...call us...he...are you ready?"

   "Fang Jifan...was cured."

  Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other in dismay, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

   At this time, Liu Jian was already overjoyed, and couldn't care about Liu Daxia, so he spoke anxiously.

   "Hurry up, hurry up, go to the Nuan Pavilion, see you!"

  Liu Jian, at his age, almost trotted to the Nuan Pavilion. He arrived at the Nuan Pavilion out of breath, but was stopped by the eunuch.

   "Liu Gong, please wait a moment."

  Liu Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in confusion, "What?"

  The **** said: "Your Majesty has some private matters, so please wait a moment, Mr. Liu, and His Majesty will summon you later."

   "Private matters..." Liu Jian was full of doubts. In the past, His Majesty rarely had private matters. What matters are more important than government affairs.

  Your Majesty...could it have changed...

  …

  In the warm pavilion.

   Zhu Houzhao was still kneeling obediently.

   In fact, getting used to it became natural, and the calluses were worn out on the knees, but it was not that uncomfortable.

   What hurts is the heart.

  Why would father believe in Lao Fang's acting skills rather than sympathize with his helplessness?

  He raised his eyes quietly, but saw his father sitting behind the imperial case, and took out a lot of letter paper from nowhere.

  Emperor Hongzhi began to reply.

  Thinking of those children, he felt warm in his heart. After all, the emperor is an emperor, and his level is high. In order to reply to the letter, he specially listed the owners of all the letters...

  Zhang Xiaohu, Xu Jie, Song Jinbo, Zhao Hao...

   Of course, those XXOO signatures are actually easy to classify, because some people are XXO, some are OOO, and some are XXX. All in all, there are always signs to follow.

  He made a long list, then compared the letters, and began to reply.

   This is a huge project.

  Emperor Hongzhi was happy to do this, and he looked very energetic, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

  He first took out a blank paper and wrote: "Zhang Qing's family, I have read Qing's book, Qing..."

  After thinking about it, the pen stopped.

   Seems...too serious.

  If you answer the book like this, will the schoolchildren understand it?

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly, then crushed the letter, threw it aside, and took another letter: "Zhang Xiaohu, I have read the letter, your handwriting is not good, you need to work harder..."

  Writing in this way, not only is it much easier and freehand, but it is also extremely smooth for Emperor Hongzhi to write.

He replied in a letter: "XXOO, although there are female officials in the palace, they only take care of my daily life. You can't think wildly. Since I ascended the throne, I have abolished the old government of the former emperor and sent Gong'e away..." After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi frowned, Suddenly raised his head: "Xiao Banban, where is Xiao Banban?"

  Xiao Jing learned that His Majesty's dragon body recovered, he ate porridge again, and his spirit recovered, so he was overjoyed, and kept guarding outside the Nuan Pavilion, when he heard the summons: "The servant is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "When I ascended the throne, how many maids were abolished?"

  Xiao Jing thought for a while: "Probably more than nine hundred and forty."

   "Is it more than nine hundred and forty?" Emperor Hongzhi was not reconciled.

   "Why don't you, servant girl, check it out?"

   "That's all." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand.

  Xiao Jingdao: "Your Majesty, Liu Gong and others have arrived."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I almost forgot, but I still have some things at hand, so it might as well, just ask them to go back for a while, when I will visit them in the cabinet, I do have a lot of things I want to discuss with them discuss."

  Xiao Jing had no choice but to say: "The servant obeys the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt confident at this moment, and wrote down with a happy expression.

   "I abolished more than nine hundred and forty palace ladies and maids. I am not close to women. It can be seen that you are still young and don't know the affairs of the palace. Why do you speak so convincingly? You must not do this in the future. Study hard..."

  Emperor Hongzhi himself enjoyed the letters as they were written.

Hearing his father laughed, Zhu Houzhao who was in the corner was listless, suddenly, his body shook, and he also smiled, but unfortunately he was wrong, Emperor Hongzhi didn't look up at him at all, it wasn't smiling at him Yes, Zhu Houzhao got bored and continued to count the ants with his head down.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, it's ridiculous that I... should be in the company of some schoolchildren, that's all, that's all, it's better not to reply to this letter.

So I wanted to smash the written letters into pieces, but before I moved my hands, my thoughts moved. It seemed that a certain heartstring was touched deep in my heart. Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, but smiled again, shaking Shaking his head, he continued to pick up his pen and write back.

  ...

  Fang Jifan came back from the palace.

   Said he was going to Xishan, but he didn’t sleep all night, so he was willing to go out of the city. He sat in the carriage waiting at the gate of the palace and went back to the mansion. When he got off the carriage, he was about to enter, when someone behind him said: "Men."

  Fang Jifan turned his head in surprise.

  But seeing Wang Shouren standing alone behind him with his luggage on his back, he looked very down and out.

  En…Master…

  Fang Jifan couldn't help frowning.

   And... why did this guy bring all the pots and pans, well, not pots and pans, but the burden of traveling.

   Isn't the Ministry of Officials going to select officials soon?

  At this time, he is going on a long trip?

  Fang Jifan looked surprised, his clear and bright eyes couldn't help but widen, and he opened his mouth curiously.

"you…"

   "I was kicked out of the house by my father."

  Wang Shouren's face was unusually calm, as if saying, I ate chicken for lunch.

   "..."

"The student thought about it carefully. My father gave the student body and skin, but the teacher taught the student the truth. Now, my father is about to drive the student out of the house. It's just right. From now on, let's study by the teacher's side. In the future, my father will Changed my mind."

   "..."

   "Teacher, can you vacate a house for me? It's really not possible. I can live with Senior Brother Tang."

   "..."

   "Why doesn't your mentor speak?"

  Fang Jifan couldn't laugh or cry, looked at Wang Shouren with a pair of bright eyes, and asked very seriously: "When did I become your mentor?"

"Zi said, three people must have my teacher. Of course, this is not important. The important thing is that the students have learned Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and now they are ready to forget everything. Now they only read the Analects and only remember the words of their teacher. Knowledge, a student's knowledge, comes from the teacher, so the teacher is naturally my teacher. Teacher, you forgot, the way is simple, why bother to memorize those red tapes... This is what the teacher taught me. "

  I...have...taught...him this...

  Fang Jifan was stunned, you made it up in your own brain, what does it have to do with me?

   Well, be calm.

   It is very dangerous for a person who is kicked out by his family like this, has nowhere to go, and is good at martial arts.

  Fang Jifan barely smiled on his jade-like handsome face.

"You mean... you don't plan to be a teacher, so you let me be your master, and you don't even plan to give bacon and longan, which are not very valuable gifts. Not only that, you also packed up your bedding to come to me , plan to eat mine, drink mine, and sleep with me?"

   "Yeah, what's the problem?" Wang Shouren asked Fang Jifan strangely.

Fang Jifan swallowed his saliva, how come it seems... mixed eating and drinking seems to have become human nature, Fang Jifan smiled a little falsely and stiffly, then looked at Wang Shouren's thin body that seemed to be bursting with surging strength, and It has already worn out the back of the hands that have been calloused many times, and the temples that are bulging on the forehead.

   Well, you have big fists, and you are right!

   "Okay..." Fang Jifan smiled at him like a spring breeze: "You are very welcome, I am very happy, really, I won't lie to you."

  This kind of strange person...would it become a hidden danger in the house?

   You know, in history, this person not only fought **** battles, but was also hunted down by killers sent by Liu Jin, and he survived. He was relegated to Longchang, Guizhou, which is said to be sparsely populated and made things difficult by the natives.

  Under such difficult conditions, how did he... survive...

  Fang Jifan's scalp exploded. Although in history, he described Wang Shouren's life lightly and in a few notes, Fang Jifan's only thought was that such a stubborn, strange, and destructive person is a ticking time bomb.

  Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "You were kicked out and had nowhere to go. The first thing you thought of was me. I am very happy. This is my honor... Haha, haha..."

  Laughed a few times, Fang Jifan continued: "However, you'd better...sleep with Xu Jing."

  Xu Jing is harmonious, at least not to offend the eccentric Wang Shouren, this is very important.

  Tang Yin, that old boy, will not be able to succeed. In his bones, there is a kind of literati's boring coquettish, love is more serious.

   "Why?" Wang Shouren looked puzzled.

   "Because Tang Yin's feet are smelly, Xu Jing's is more fragrant."

  Wang Shouren took a deep breath, bowed to Fang Jifan and saluted: "My teacher is really thoughtful, teacher..."

"What?"

  Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment, and said, "Student has one more matter, which I still can't figure out, and I want to ask my teacher for advice."

"Don't worry, let's go into the mansion, and slowly say that the teacher is an approachable person. You must have learned something about this from Xu Jing and the others. Coming here is like coming to your own home. Don't be restrained, are you hungry, let your brother Ouyang eat for you as a teacher?"

  Wang Shouren was slightly moved.

  Since being kicked out, he was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded to Fang Jifan.

"I'm really hungry, but it's not too late to ask my teacher to clear up my doubts before eating noodles. Teacher, the unity of knowledge and action, this knowledge is the conscience of a person, and it is also the benevolence, righteousness and morality that the sage said. It is feasible, and how should it be done?" How about carrying it out? What should we do if we make a mistake when doing it?”

  Fang Jifan was silent. Have I ever said that knowledge is benevolence, righteousness and morality?

  How many things have you made up in your brain?

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "It's wrong...just change it!"

   "..." Wang Shouren fell silent again.

  If you know a mistake, correct it...

  He thought hard, but he didn't even think of this, so simple and direct, so superficial, but he just searched his own brains and scratched his head, but he didn't expect that it was just such a simple change.
