“Emperor Qiyu, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, after our various researches, we have found the ancestor of the emperor!”

Zhao Renshan’s expression was quite happy and excited, and just as his words landed, the entire hall was strangely quiet.

All the civil and military officials looked at Zhao Renshan with burning eyes, eager to know the answer.

Not to mention the civil and military officials, even Zhu Yuanzhang himself looked at Zhao Renshan with a curious face, wondering what ugly rivet Zhao Renshan could say.

After all, he clearly knew that three generations of his ancestors were poor peasants.

And looking at Zhao Renshan’s posture, his ancestor should not be a well-known person?!

“Oh?”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face showed a strong interest and asked

“Zhao Aiqing, who is our ancestor?”

As soon as Zhao Renshan heard Zhu Yuanzhang’s words, his face immediately looked excited.

After all, this was a great gift from their Wen Chen Confucian party to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Emperor Taizu of successive dynasties will find a powerful ancestor for their family to highlight their family’s excellent bloodline.

For example, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty recognized Laozi Li Dan as an ancestor to show their noble bloodline.

And they have been secretly looking for Zhu Yuanzhang’s ancestors, just to give Zhu Yuanzhang an excellent ancestral home to show the dignity of his bloodline.

For this matter, they looked through various books and consulted various materials before finally finding a suitable candidate.

It doesn’t matter if this person is the true ancestor of the emperor, as long as he has the same surname as the emperor, it is much simpler.

In order to paint Zhu Yuanzhang’s identity with a layer of honor, they worked day and night, burying their heads in hard work, and finally found a person who met the conditions.

“Emperor Qiyu, the ancestor of the emperor is Zhu Xi, the sage of the Southern Song Dynasty!”

Zhao Renshan excitedly said the results he had pieced together, and happily waited for Zhu Yuanzhang’s reward.

Even have thought many times in his mind, after he said such words, how the emperor rewarded him, or added officials to the knighthood, or rewarded house treasures, or let those imperial histories solemnly introduce themselves in the history books, praising that they found the ancestors of the emperor, and have been famous in history since then, but all the descendants can see this scene when they watch the history books.

And his such a feat has been passed down for centuries, thousands of generations, and passed down to future generations.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Zhao Renshan continued with enthusiasm:

“Emperor, you are the descendant of a Confucian saint, with a noble blood flowing in your body…”

“Saint Zhu Xi?”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face could not see joy and anger, and he asked rhetorically:

“Then you tell me, but what is the evidence?

Shouldn’t it be just because we and he are both surnamed Zhu, so you use this to fool us?! ”

“Wei Chen doesn’t dare to find a saint to prevaricate the emperor at will, wouldn’t this be committing the crime of cheating?!”

As soon as Zhao Renshan heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he quickly explained, and then said righteously and sternly, word by word:

“The emperor’s hometown is in the Jianghuai region, and the home of the sage Zhu Xi is also there.

The most important thing is that the emperor and the sage Zhu Xi both have the same surname Zhu.

The root is the same vein, the ancestor of the emperor is the saint Zhu Xi! ”

Zhao Renshan said in a high mood, completely ignoring that Zhu Yuanzhang’s face had turned dark.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally in a bad mood because the officials just now asked him for money.

After all, he had already allocated money for all the things that those officials played, and now he asked him for money, and there were corrupt officials properly.

If it weren’t for Zhao Renshan suddenly coming out to speak, he would have planned to find someone to operate.

Since Zhao Renshan is so impatient now that he has to hit the knife, then don’t blame him for being unkind and taking him off.

That’s right, after hearing what Zhao Renshan said, Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy or excited at all, but a layer of anger rose in his heart.

Who is Zhu Xi?

The Confucianism of the Southern Song Dynasty was a saint-like existence.

But such evaluations are only among these civil officials.

To him, Zhu Xi is not a good thing!

Why do you say that?

This matter has to start many years ago, when Zhu Xu had not disappeared.

Because he is from a mud-legged background, he attaches great importance to literacy and reading, so he has always been very strict with his son in terms of reading and literacy.

I remember once, after checking Zhu Biao’s coursework, he was a little dissatisfied, so he said something to Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty

“Biao’er, as a son of the world, you shoulder a heavy responsibility, we didn’t have the conditions to study when we were young, and now that you have such conditions, you should study well.”

Let’s not talk about making people a great sage like Kong Meng, just take Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, as long as you become a person like him and learn his skills one, two, three, four, it will definitely be beneficial to you for life! ”

“Father’s teachings, children keep in mind!”

Zhu Biao has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and there is no rebuttal to what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Instead, Zhu Xu on the side asked in surprise:

“Song Dynasty Zhu Xi?

Dad, how can you flaunt your eldest brother as someone like Zhu Xi? ”

“No nonsense!

Zhu Xi is a generation of saints, Confucianists, what is wrong with letting your eldest brother learn from him?! ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Xu’s words, Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy, Zhu Xi is a person respected by everyone, how did he get to the mouth of the old sixth, and he felt that the dog’s mouth could not spit out ivory?

“A generation of saints?! Oh, that’s just what future generations revere! ”

Zhu Xu said with disdain on his face.

“Sixth brother, don’t be so rude!”

Zhu Biao has been influenced by Confucian thought since he was a child, and Zhu Xi is a generation of saints in his heart, and now he suddenly heard Zhu Xu so disrespectful to Zhu Xi, and quickly stopped him:

“Poor heavenly reason, wise people, speaking holy words, passing accidents…”

“Stop, big brother!”

Seeing that his eldest brother was poisoned by the saint Zhu Xi, Zhu Xu hurriedly called a stop:

“Zhu Xi did propose such an intellectual ethic, but do you know what kind of person he is?”

“What kind of people?”

Not only Zhu Biao was curious, but Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Xu with a curious face.

“Zhu Xi is a proper hypocrite.

While preaching ‘saving heaven and destroying people’s desires’, he also messed with nuns and even married nuns as concubines

While advocating filial piety, he let his mother eat leftovers and barely survived, even his daughter-in-law did not let go, which was simply inferior to the beast!! ”

“Xu’er, don’t talk nonsense!!”

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were shocked by Zhu Xu’s words, they never expected Zhu Xu to say such a thing, if they were heard by those literati and scholars, even if one person spat on Xingzi, they could drown Zhu Xu!
