I want to be a grandson

"The way of a sage is divided into rites and music, politics and religion, laws and articles, and combined into the principle of life and the unity of benevolence and righteousness. His career is in poetry and books, and his function is in the world."

"Pure and complete, big and correct, and true to everything. Unfortunately, it was defeated by selfish desires, broken by heresy, ignorant of the ignorance of the people, and suffocated by the diversity of scholars."

In a thatched hut in Chengdu, the word "Zhengxue" was written on the plaque. At this time, Fang Xiaoru, a great Confucianist, was sitting and discussing the Tao with his students.

Fang Xiaoru was over forty years old, wearing a plain Confucian gown, sitting on a wicker chair, in front of him were a dozen students sitting on futons, listening respectfully to his master's teachings.

Fang Xiaoru said, "Those who make wishes regard small kindness as benevolence, and those who are strong regard strictness as righteousness. Those who can speak are addicted to words, and do not seek what they do not say; Reason. Everyone claims to have the perfection of a saint, and the perfection of a saint will tear the world apart."

Eloquently talked a lot, until the sun was in the middle, he finally made a conclusion, "So you should go to the root of everything, know what it is, and you must know why it is, and you can't copy it blindly. inside……"

A student expressed his feelings, "The meaning of this article is really profound and thought-provoking. After listening to the students, they will feel enlightened. If they only know the appearance but don't understand the inside, then what is the difference from the ignorant and stupid people?" .”

"Yes, sir. In the past, the students were too careless in their studies. It was impossible for them to study hard. They only knew superficial skills. Now, after listening to this article, sir, I feel really ashamed..."

"Mister's words are very kind!"

Another student said, "Students of our generation should inherit the character of the saint and pass on the knowledge of the saint. If there is only a superficial appearance, it will only be biased, and it will not be able to inherit the way of the saint..."

At this time, a student stood up, bowed and saluted, "Sir, this article "Overtaking the Car" is really deafening, and the article "Mosquitoes" written by Mr. a few days ago is also very meaningful.

There are also poems and books written by Mr., it is better to publish them in a collection, so that scholars all over the world can understand Mr.'s teachings. "

Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard, nodded and said, "I have the same intention, but I'm too busy to take care of it..."

Hearing this, a student sitting next to him got up. He was the student who was next to Fang Xiaoru. He was usually responsible for copying and organizing.
He saluted and said, "Sir, every chapter of your manuscript has been sorted out completely by the students, without any mistakes. You just need to hand it over to the government, and let them check it out before printing."

Originally, this was a very common sentence, but Fang Xiaoru couldn't help frowning!

The other students didn't notice Fang Xiaoru's abnormality, and they were all happy when they heard that the teacher's manuscript had been sorted out.

After all, it can be published as soon as possible, they can read it, and the teacher's knowledge can be passed on to the world.

So even Liao praised the student who organized the manuscript.

"Okay, it's noon now, you all go home."

"Yes, students bid farewell to their mentor..." After the students saluted, they left in an orderly manner.

"Lin Zheng, pay attention." Fang Xiaoru said to the student who was sorting out the manuscript for him.

The other students thought that the teacher was going to discuss the manuscript with their seniors, so they didn't think much about it.

When there were only Fang Xiaoru and his students left in the hut, he asked, "Lin Zheng, you just said that the manuscript must be sent to the government, and Qi De and the others can only print it after checking it?"

Lin Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and said hastily, "Teacher, you studied behind closed doors a few days ago, and later you were busy studying politics. I'm afraid you don't know.

Years later, the imperial court ordered that all printed books must be sent to the office of the chief secretary of the state capital for inspection by the government. If there is no serious problem, the government will give a book number, and then the individual can print..."

"Besides, no matter who it is, no matter what the content is, it is absolutely not allowed to print and distribute it privately, let alone sell it..."

Lin Zheng saw that his teacher's brows were getting deeper and deeper, and he quickly explained, "Actually, this is similar to the system set up by the Yuan Dynasty. Individuals are not allowed to publish books casually, and they need the authorization of the government..."

"Why did the court have this decree?" Fang Xiaoru asked.

"Uh, the students don't know, I just heard from others that if one person prints indiscriminately, there must be mixed good and bad, and it is inevitable that there will be false rumors to confuse the public, and ignorant words..."

"absurd!"

Lin Zheng was really taken aback by Fang Xiaoru's shout of agreement!
My teacher is angry!

It's really rare...

"Go back, sort out the manuscript and give it to me!" Fang Xiaoru didn't want to say much in front of his students.

"Yes, the student obeyed, the manuscripts are all at the student's home, and I will send them to my husband later..."

Fang Xiaoru's temper was straight, he would rather bend than bend, thinking about this matter at noon, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

Looking at my manuscript, and thinking of the scholars in the world, I feel that I have a great responsibility.

So he immediately went to the Shu Palace with the manuscript and asked to see Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, Fang Xiaoru was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang on the recommendation of Wu Chen and Jieshu.

Zhu Yuanzhang admired his dignified and serious manner, and said to the crown prince Zhu Biao: "This is a dignified talent, you should use him until old age." Then he was sent home according to the etiquette.

Later, he was jointly reported by the enemy and arrested in Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang released him when he saw his name on the case file.

In the 25th year of Hongwu, he was called to the court because of the recommendation of others.Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now is not the time to appoint Fang Xiaoru." He was awarded the post of professor of Hanzhong.

Fang Xiaoru gave lectures to Confucian students every day without getting tired.Zhu Chun, king of Shu Xian, heard of Fang Xiaoru's virtuous name, and hired him as the teacher of his son.

King Xian of Shu expressed his respect for him with special courtesy, and named the cottage where he studied "Zhengxue".

Zhu Chun was about to have lunch, when a servant reported that Fang Xiaoru had come to see him, so he immediately put down the bowl and greeted him.

Sitting in the palace, the two exchanged a few words, Zhu Chun said, "Sir, you haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind, how about using some in the palace?"

Faced with the invitation, Fang Xiaoru shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, the food of a gentleman lies in the soul, not in things. If the soul learns the way of a sage, it will be smooth, and everything it eats is delicious, and it can also benefit the bones... …

But if there is no holy word to eat, even the delicacies of mountains and seas will be tasteless and hard to swallow..."

"Uh……"

Zhu Chun was speechless for an instant!
The realm of emotion itself is too low, and it is not yet possible to take the teachings of saints as food.

"Sir, hearing this...are you unhappy?" Zhu Chun asked tentatively.

Although he respected this old pedantic character, sometimes it really caused a headache.It can only be said that my level is too low to keep up with other people's level!
Fang Xiaoru was a little sullen and told what he knew about the publication of books.

"Oh, sir, this is what you are talking about. This is the decree issued by the imperial court after the year..."

Zhu Chun saw a stack of manuscripts on the coffee table, glanced at them and said, "Do you want to print these manuscripts, sir? This is easy to handle. Xiao Wang will come over immediately from the chief secretary, and it will take a few hours to finish the proofreading." , and then it can be printed, and it will never waste Mr.'s time!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Fang Xiaoru arched his hands, but he didn't appreciate it, "Your Highness, I believe what you said, and I also believe that the chief secretary can be invited in just a short time in the Shu Palace.
But I would like to ask, if they say that my manuscript cannot be approved and not allowed to be printed, what will your Highness do? "

"This one……"

With a confused look on his face, Zhu Chun couldn't help scratching his head, and said in disbelief, "Sir, as long as it's not a crooked book, they dare not stop it...

Besides, Mr. Xiao Wang knows about his knowledge and character, and you don't know how to write those things. "

"Thanks to His Highness's great love, they will not dare to disobey with the face of the Shu Palace, but I just want to ask His Highness,
If ordinary people, ordinary scholars want to write books, want to print out their knowledge and spread it to the world, what should they do?Can Your Highness help me alone?Can it help the scholars all over the world? "

"..."

Zhu Chun felt that his head was getting bigger, and only now did he realize that Fang Xiaoru was here to ask the teacher for a crime!
Install the latest version. 】

"Sir, you don't know that the reason why the imperial court issued this decree is not to restrict scholars from writing books and biographies, but to eliminate those misunderstandings and foolish words and books that distort the words of saints. This is also a good thing for our generation of scholars. what……"

"How can you give up eating because of choking!"

Fang Xiaoru flicked his sleeves, and said righteously, "I also know that there are indeed some miscellaneous books in the market, so we can't restrict them just because of this!"

"Your Highness, what is the difference between this and the First Emperor's burning of books and burying Confucian scholars? They are all restricting the speech of scholars, and if things go on like this, they will surely cut off the seeds of scholars..."

Zhu Chun was startled, "Zeng" bounced off the chair!
If this word is heard and spread by others, then he will be implicated as well!
Slandering the emperor behind his back is a serious crime!

Zhu Chun hurriedly said, "Sir, don't dare to talk nonsense. A tyrant like the First Emperor would burn books and defraud scholars. How could Your Majesty be so wise today!

Moreover, the reason why this decree was promulgated is also for the benefit of scholars, so that they will not be poisoned, and they can read the true way of saints..."

Fang Xiaoru was unmoved, stood up and faced Zhu Chun, and said, "Your Highness, the method of burning books and burying Confucianism is violent, and the opinions adopted are all beneficial to the emperor's governance of the world, at least in his opinion...

Now this decree of the imperial court has cut off all the ways for scholars in the world to speak out. I am afraid that scholars will no longer value the way of saints, but concentrate on flattering, flattering, and catering to officials! "

"At that time, the imperial court will be filled with a bunch of bewitching and flattering villains, the upright people will be scorned, the court will be full of smog, and the world's literary style will be like this, which will inevitably bring endless disasters!
Zhuge Liang has a saying in his list of teachers: If you are close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains, that’s why the Han Dynasty prospered;

At this time, Zhu Chun felt his scalp was numb, like a big stone mill was hanging on his head, it was so heavy that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

He spoke out to dissuade, but his own words were poor, and Fang Xiaoru, who was talking eloquently and full of anger, was no match for him at all!
So when it came to the end, Zhu Chun lowered his head and could only listen, like a child who made a mistake...

After Fang Xiaoru finished speaking the indignation in his chest, he said to Zhu Chun, "His Royal Highness, you must not ignore this matter. You should write to the imperial court, state your interests, and ask the imperial court to revoke this inappropriate government order..."

Zhu Chun was full of bitterness, "Sir, this is a decree issued by the imperial court, how can it be changed from day to day, and besides, Xiao Wang is far away from the center of the imperial court..."

"Your Highness, as the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, you should assist the Left Sovereign. When encountering injustice, you should advise him. This is His Highness's duty! It is the duty of a virtuous king!"

"I……"

At this time, Zhu Chun was in extreme embarrassment, he kept digging his toes in his boots, and almost found three rooms and one living room!

At this moment, he really wanted to say, "The virtuous king dies quickly, I don't want to be a virtuous king..."

"Your Highness, this is all I have to say, please consider it carefully, and never bear the responsibility of the prince!"

Fang Xiaoru picked up the manuscript on the coffee table, "I will also play the imperial court, abolish this policy, and give freedom to scholars all over the world! Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the ground and made a big salute. Zhu Chun hurriedly returned the salute. When he got up and raised his head, Fang Xiaoru had already strode away, looking very determined.

Zhu Chun glanced at the two maids serving in the palace, really full of bitterness!
"Your Highness, is Mr. Fang gone? Come and eat, the food is cold."

At this time, Princess Lan came and invited Zhu Chun to dinner.

"Oh, how can I eat any more!" Zhu Chun said angrily.

Lan said, "Your Highness, could it be that Mr. Fang said something that bothered His Highness? Let's go, Your Highness will talk while eating, just say it..."

"A woman's opinion! You can listen to some words! I'm not hungry, you go!"

It was only then that Lan knew that her husband had encountered a problem, and there were some things that were really difficult for her to know, so she bowed tactfully and left slowly.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Chun sat down on the chair and couldn't help but sighed heavily.

Fang Xiaoru's words really need to be studied in depth, even if he is disrespectful, he will also be implicated!
In the palace, Zhu Chun didn't know if there was any eyeliner from the imperial court. If this word reached His Majesty's ears, what should we do?Does His Majesty feel dissatisfied with him?
Zhu Chun has always been cautious and never said outrageous words, how could he still report on Fang Xiaoru!
Oh, what should I do...

Thinking of Fang Xiaoru's stubborn personality, his worried brows ached again, because he knew that Fang Xiaoru would definitely submit the letter when he said it, and he only hoped that his words would not be too violent and would not annoy His Majesty.

"Come here, fetch pen and ink!"

Immediately, Zhu Chun wrote a letter from home with a splash of ink, and ordered someone to send it to the capital immediately.

Since His Majesty will know sooner or later, then I might as well take the initiative to bring up this matter and make an apology, so that I can get myself out...
