I want to be a grandson

Chapter 637 A Highland...

"Um, what's the urgent matter, sir?" Zhu Chun, King of Shu, asked.

"Ugh……"

Fang Xiaoru sighed heavily, and asked back: "His Highness has read the weekly report, but did you find anything important from it?"

Zhu Chun had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xiao Wang is stupid, and thinks it's just an ordinary weekly report, which is no different from the previous ones, so... I didn't see anything carefully..."

"I just think it's a little disrespectful for the envoys of the Japanese slave country to kowtow to our Ming officials... Hehehe, it's funny..."

Looking at Zhu Chun, Fang Xiaoru showed an expression of "you can't be taught", and patiently explained: "Your Highness, the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom are indeed disrespectful, but this is just a trivial matter. The imperial court's request!"

"Request? What request?"

Zhu Chun stretched out his hand and scratched his head, showing a confused look, as if he really didn't know.

"Your Highness, I am asking the Japanese slave country to ask Daming to send troops to assist them in suppressing the rebellion!"

Fang Xiaoru couldn't help getting closer to Zhu Chun, and said with a sad face: "His Royal Highness, as far as I know, this war was started by their people from the Southern Dynasty, and it was not the fault of the North, so the matter of rebellion still needs to be discussed...

Also, they asked Ming to send troops, how can we interfere in the political affairs of other countries when we are a great country and a state of etiquette, this is not kingly way..."

Zhu Chun's scalp went numb!

I dare not say this myself!

If it doesn't work out, maybe he will be charged with some crimes!

So I didn't dare to let him continue, so I quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Fang is too worried. The Wanu country is my vassal state of Ming Dynasty. If there is a rebellion, it is reasonable to send troops to help clear it up... "

"Furthermore, although the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom have made requests, the court has not yet made a decision, and it is still uncertain whether to send troops or not."

"There are gentlemen in the court, and there are His Majesty's wise and powerful decisions, so it must be handled very appropriately, so Xiao Wang didn't show any concern at all. Mr. Fang, just feel at ease."

But Fang Xiaoru did not hear such words.

"Your Highness, it is true that the Wa Nu Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but my Central Plains Dynasty has never sent troops overseas to other countries. This is the practice of all dynasties..."

Fang Xiaoru said: "At this time, the Daming Weekly reported this incident to the people of the world, and it strictly stated that there was a rebellion in the Japanese slave country. Isn't this misleading the people of the world?"

"If you really have to wait until the court makes a decision, it will be too late for His Highness to speak up to stop it!"

Zhu Chun couldn't help trembling in his heart when he said this sentence!
Speak up to stop yourself?

Even if you speak out yourself, can you stop it?
You really think highly of me, a feudal lord!

I still want to live a few more years and be a prince of Taiping!
"Uh, Mr. Fang..."

Zhu Chun said helplessly, "Xiao Wang really doesn't understand the matter of the Japanese slave country, and I don't know whether there is a rebellion. I think it's said so in Lai Di Bao and Daming Weekly, so it should be true..."

"Xiao Wang is far away in Sichuan, thousands of miles away from the capital, and has never seen the envoy of the Japanese slave country, and now he speaks like a blind man touching an elephant, which is too one-sided..."

Looking at Fang Xiaoru with a sincere face, Zhu Chun said, "Well, how about it, how about Xiao Wang going to Mr.'s cottage to ask for advice in person?"

After leaving the Shu Palace, he got into the carriage.

Fang Xiaoru frowned, clenched his hands, and his eyes were full of worry.

Why doesn't he know that the King of Shu is just an excuse, and he doesn't want to care about it!
But this incident weighed on Fang Xiaoru's heart like a stone, making him feel very depressed and very irritable.

Seeing him like that, his wife persuaded him a few times, but it didn't work.

When eating at noon, he just took a few mouthfuls in a dull manner, then put down the bowls and chopsticks and shut himself in the study.

"Master, all your students have arrived and are waiting for you in the hut..."

After noon, the servants stood at the closed door of the study to report.

"Oh, I see……"

A dull voice came from inside.

After tidying up her clothes, Fang Xiaoru opened the door and went to the thatched cottage to teach.

In addition to serving as the instructor of the Hanzhong Mansion, he also accepted apprentices, so he built a thatched hut in his home to teach his apprentices here.

"The student has seen Mr...."

As soon as Fang Xiaoru came to the cottage, the students immediately stood up and saluted.

After returning the salute, Fang Xiaoru sat on the chair in front, and the students sat on the futons, looking up at their teacher to show their respect.

Because it was summer at this time, the weather was hot, even though there were some big trees around the thatched hut for shade, it was still unavoidable to be a little hot.

Fang Xiaoru's eyes kept staring into the distance, silent for a long time, and did not respond to the expectant eyes below.

The students can see the strangeness of their teacher.

Over time, it is inevitable that there will be some worries.

A student stood up, came to his side respectfully, bowed and saluted, and called out softly, "Sir?"

Only then did Fang Xiaoru look away.

The student asked: "Sir, I wonder what topic you want to talk about today?"

Fang Xiaoru's eyes swept over his students one by one, looking at those eyes with a simple heart and a desire to seek the truth, he couldn't help feeling a sense of responsibility in his heart,

He slowly opened his mouth and said: "Today we are going to talk about "Mencius·Liang Hui Wang Xia", Gao Cheng, you can recite it."

"Yes, sir!"

The student stood next to Fang Xiaoru, turned to the students and recited: ""Mencius: King Hui of Liang", King Xuan of Qi saw Mencius in Snow Palace. The king said: "Do sages also have this joy? "

"Mencius said to him: "Yes.If people can't do it, then it's not the best.It is not true to be above it; it is not true to be the one who is above the people but not with the people.

Those who are happy with the people, the people are also happy; those who worry about the people's worries, the people are also worried about their worries.Be happy with the world, worry about the world, but if you are not a king, you will never have it. "

After he finished reciting and stepped aside, Fang Xiaoru said: "Take pleasure in the happiness of the people in the world, and worry in the sorrow of the people in the world. This is what Mencius advocates in this article."

"Later, Mr. Xiwen quoted it in "Yueyang Tower", "Before the world knows the worries, worry about them, and then enjoy the world's joys." "

Xiwen is Fan Zhongyan's word.

Fang Xiaoru said again: "Mr. Xiwen said that scholars like us need to cultivate our moral character, so that we don't take pleasure in things, don't feel sorry for ourselves,
However, simple self-cultivation is just a path, not the true meaning of the sage's teachings. "

He didn't finish speaking, but stopped.

A student asked, "Sir, then what is the true meaning of the sage's teaching?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru replied: "The answer is after this sentence: "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away, you will worry about your king.It is also worrying about advancing, and worrying about retreating. "

"When you learn to worry, worry about the dawn of the world, worry about the people, and worry about the king, you will understand the thoughts and academics of the saints. From then on, whether it is reading or enlightenment, you will be handy and integrated..."

Another student asked: "Sir, do you mean to make students always cherish the heart of loving the people and being loyal to the emperor?"

Nodding his head, Fang Xiaoru said: "Students of my generation should take the world as our responsibility, and the people of the world should be in our hearts, caring for the sufferings of the people, caring for the people, this is the meaning of reading!"

After saying this, he looked at a student and asked, "Ma Tai, as a teacher, I would like to ask you, what worries do you have about the people, the world, or the king these days?"

The student whose name was called blushed immediately, stood up quickly, bowed and said: "Mr. Hui, the student is stupid... I feel that the world is peaceful now, there are no major disasters, and the people's lives are stable, so, so there is no harm." concern……"

Looking at him, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help shaking his head.

This action made Ma Tai feel even more ashamed...

Looking at his students, Fang Xiaoru asked, "Do you have the same opinion as Ma Tai?"

The students below didn't know how to answer. Some felt ashamed of the teacher's teachings and lowered their heads in shame, while others nodded to admit their shortcomings.

Fang Xiaoru didn't blame them, but said: "I didn't say it before, you don't know something, you haven't learned something, you can forgive me..."

He also said: "Even if the world is peaceful and the people's lives are acceptable, it does not mean that there is nothing to worry about.

Before the sores are exposed, the toxins are already in the human skin; before the disaster arrives, there must be signs, but people have not noticed it. "

"If you really want to wait until the sores break out, disasters come, and endanger the people of the world, then it will be too late to prepare for disaster relief in a hurry!
I don't know how many people will be killed, how many people will be displaced, and will lose their loved ones..."

Staring at his students, Fang Xiaoru said very solemnly: "For example, right now, there is an extremely dangerous event that requires us scholars to worry about the people of the world and the king!"

"I'm stupid, I don't understand what the master said, so please give me some advice!"

The students sat on the futons and saluted.

Stroking his beard, nodding, Fang Xiaoru took a breath and said: "It was reported in the recent weekly newspaper that the mission of the Japanese Nu Kingdom claimed that there was chaos in the country and started a rebellion, and requested the Ming Dynasty to send troops to the Japanese Nu Kingdom. I need to worry!"

Then Fang Xiaoru told the students his inner worries and the results of his guesses.

Naturally, he has no scruples in front of his students, and he speaks more boldly, which arouses more responsibility and responsibility in himself!
Just like when a person is reciting a speech, he can shed tears of his own emotion!
At this time, Fang Xiaoru felt a breath in his chest, and he really couldn't vomit!
And as an official of the Ming Dynasty, as a person who read the books of sages, I feel that I must not stand by and cause chaos in the world!

So at the end, Fang Xiaoru stood up from the chair and was impassioned again.
Then he said: "Arbitrarily raising troops and launching military affairs without authorization, this is the way to take disaster, this is the law of disordering the people! We must stop it with all our strength!"

After the students listened to it, they were all moved by the sincerity and generosity of their husbands, and they also had the heart to imitate and follow the sages.
So a student asked: "Mr. Dade, the students admire! I just don't know how to stop it?"

A student in the crowd was so excited when he heard it, the words were suffocating in himself as if they were about to explode, he really couldn't vomit!

At this time, I didn't care about etiquette anymore, and shouted loudly: "I can write a letter later! I will state the harm of this matter, so as to persuade Your Majesty, and be alert to all the princes in the court!"

"That's right!"

"It should be!" A student agreed.

"I can still go to the magistrate's yamen, to the chief envoy, to the supervisory censor's yamen, and even to the Shu prince's mansion. Chen Ming, I will wait until I wish!"

"I would like to go together!"

"Above all, let's go together!"

"I am willing to go together!"

Faced with the students' suggestions and suggestions, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help showing a satisfied expression, feeling very comforted in his heart!

My students are indeed loyal people!

Stretching out his hand to suppress the voices of the students, Fang Xiaoru's eyes showed a little brilliance and said: "Your voices just now, and the wishes in your hearts, as a teacher, I hear it in my ears and see it in my heart. It is really comforting!"

The topic changed, and he said: "It's just that you still need to learn how to do things... Of course you can write a letter to advise, you can go to the magistrate's yamen or the chief envoy.
But you have to know that the middle of Shu is far away from the court, so we have no way of knowing a lot of news, our wishes and worries in our hearts, and people above the court can't clearly know..."

Looking at the students, Fang Xiaoru made a very important decision, and said, "So I decided to go to the capital alone, and tell the people about the danger of this matter, and tell the court Chinese and Wu! Chen Ming to Your Majesty!"

"Mister! Students are willing to go with Mr.!"

"For the sake of the country, I will wait for the scholars to go! Students are willing to follow Mr.!"

"Students are willing to follow Mr. to go together!"

"Students are willing to follow Mr. to go together!"

The students bowed deeply, expressing a pleading gesture.

"it is good!"

With the full support of all the students, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but feel excited and couldn't restrain himself.
"Then we will go together for the righteous way of the world!"

"Let's go together!"

The students shouted in unison, feeling extremely excited.

……

After dealing with the government affairs for a day, Zhu Yunxi took a rest in Qianqing Palace for a day or two, and went to Kunning Palace for dinner in the evening.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at Kunning Palace, he saw the maids of honor coming out with trays of leftovers.

"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty Sheng An!"

"Get up without courtesy, why did you eat so early today?" Zhu Yunxi asked after seeing the ceremony.

Xu Miaojin said: "Your Majesty, my concubine got hungry earlier today, so I ordered someone to pass on the meal earlier, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

At this point, Zhu Yunxi can only express his understanding.

Unexpectedly, Xu Miaojin said again: "Mingzhu has prepared dinner and is waiting for His Majesty, why don't you ask Your Majesty to move..."

Oh, no wonder it's such an early meal!
"Some... are much more delicious than meals..."

Zhu Yunxi knew that she was trying to push herself out, so she smiled knowingly,
Eyes staring somewhere towering...
