Chapter 641

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, and asked with a serious face: "When will you give us a few more great-grandchildren?"

"Forehead……"

For a moment, Zhu Yunxi was speechless.

"Grandfather, you are so serious about it, so it's for this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "Stop playing sloppy with us, we are only thinking about great grandchildren now, the more the better, if you can really give us dozens or even hundreds of children, it will be very lively!"

Zhu Yunxi swallowed when he heard the numbers he said, "Grandfather, look, who has dozens or hundreds of children? How much food, how much clothes, how many houses, who can afford it!"

"Ordinary people can't afford it, but you can't afford it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly: "Do we know that the Huangzhuang Huangdian you opened, as well as the wine and pepper business, and what kind of department store, I am afraid that it has been built in all major cities now, and I receive orders from your internal shipping warehouse every year." The sea of ​​silver is gone! Can you afford it?"

Zhu Yunxi explained: "Grandpa Huang, didn't the queen give birth just now? Wen Jiang is less than one year old, so he must take a break to take care of his body."

Zhu Yuanzhang followed closely and said, "What about the other concubines? Haven't your three concubines given birth yet? Speaking of this, let's think of it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said: "You have been on the throne for three years, now it's time to recruit more concubines to enrich the harem, and more talented ladies and gentlemen can be appointed after they have children, but no matter what, there must be no fewer women in the harem." Already!"

"How about this, let's inform the Ministry of Rites to choose a concubine for you, and we must pick out some virtuous and virtuous ones, how about guaranteeing that you will be satisfied?!"

"Don't don't..."

Zhu Yunxi quickly grabbed his arm and asked him to stop him, saying, "Grandfather, there is no rush for the draft. The court has something important to do now. Let's talk about it after this critical period."

"No matter how important things are, they are not as important as children!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Even if there is a big event, that person will not eat, drink, marry or marry? Shouldn't he live a normal life!
You just listen to us, this year there will be an audition to enrich the harem, and when there are more women in the harem, you should also work harder!Try to regenerate a few big fat boys next year! "

diligent?

Work hard on this...

Is it a matter of diligence?
Besides, I'm too hardworking, my waist can't stand it!

Zhu Yuanzhang approached Zhu Yunxi and asked in a low voice: "If you feel embarrassed, let Qingtong collect some tonics for you. As long as you don't squander it recklessly, your body will be fine..."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your kindness! But grandson is not in trouble! That's unnecessary..."

Zhu Yunxi looked serious and immediately rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness!
Embarrassed?

How can a man be embarrassed!
Who do you underestimate!

After leaving the Dashan Hall, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

It's really embarrassing to say such a thing!
However, as the emperor himself, he has the responsibility to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and reproduce the offspring, and whether a family's offspring is prosperous or not also determines the prosperity and disgrace of the family!
Therefore, it is normal for the elders to remind the younger generation a lot about this matter, and even teach them, sending some erotic pictures or medicines.

Alas, it seems that I need to work harder in the future...

After all, hard work is a virtue...

……

"Mr. Fang, I wonder if there is a reply from the palace?"

Inside the inn, Xie Jin came to visit again early in the morning, and after exchanging pleasantries, he asked about Fang Xiaoru's letter.

Fang Xiaoru frowned, sat on the chair and shook his head without making any sound.

"No reply yet? It's been several days!"

Xie Jin also frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "According to normal, the memorial approved by the palace should have come down two days ago... Could it be that he was retained?"

Staying in the middle means leaving the memorials of the courtiers in the palace guards, neither giving instructions nor handing them over.

This is no different from sinking into the sea!

Even the emperor didn't know if he watched it!
If it's an innocuous memorial, it's okay to deal with it like this, it doesn't matter anyway.

But what I said in my memorial is a big deal!
And it's a joint play!

This fully demonstrates the weight of this memorial!

Fang Xiaoru was also a little angry, thinking that the emperor treated a great Confucianist like this to humiliate the decency of a scholar!
So I came to the table, grabbed the brush and splashed ink, and immediately wrote another memorial.

This time, not only Xie Jin, but even Fang Xiaoru's students joined hands after they knew about it, and some old friends in the capital also signed their names on the back of the memorial.

And send someone to submit it to the Secretary of General Administration, and let them submit it to the emperor.

After Zhu Yunxi read the memorial, he just shook his head and smiled, and still put it aside without making any gestures.

After Fang Xiaoru and the others waited for several days, they still did not receive any reply.

After breakfast that day, Fang Xiaoru sent someone to the Secretary of General Administration to inquire about the reason, and then gave lectures to his students in the inn as usual.

Xie Jin and several old friends also sat aside and listened.

"The Master said, "Learning is close to knowledge. Practicing is close to benevolence. Knowing shame is close to courage."

"If you know the three, you will know how to cultivate yourself. If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to govern people. If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world."

Fang Xiaoru sat on a chair and preached to the students below: "What Confucius meant here is that if someone likes to learn, he is close to wisdom; if he can make further progress and practice hard, he is close to benevolence and knows shame It's close to Yong."

"If you know these three points, you will know how to cultivate yourself. If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to govern others. If you know how to govern others, you will know how to govern the world and the country."

"So it's one thing for you to study hard, and it's also essential. Only in this way can you open your mind and not copy what others say. At this time, you must have some unique insights into the sage's articles..."

"If you can achieve benevolence... then you will break away from the shackles of the words and principles in books, and have the world in mind. The benevolent love the people, and there must be another realm for the common people..."

"At that time, how to manage oneself and how to govern the world and the country will naturally be handy and in line with the way of heaven. This is the essence of the sage's teaching..."

After Fang Xiaoru's words were finished, Xie Jin admired from the sidelines: "Mr. Fang's knowledge is really great and refined! Ordinary people who read books only pursue literal articles. How can they know so profoundly!"

"It can be seen that Mr. Fang is generous! It is beyond the reach of others! I have been educated!"

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Mr. Fang's words are like morning bells and evening drums, which are thought-provoking!"

"After listening to the teacher's class, I really benefited a lot!"

Others also expressed their praises one after another, spitting out words of praise.

"Everyone is too polite. It's hard to be elegant with this little knowledge. If there is something wrong, please feel free to teach me..."

Fang Xiaoru said a few words modestly, took a few sips from the teacup on the coffee table, moistened his throat, and prepared to continue talking.

At this time, his student Liu Xing came to the side door, looked at his teacher, and was hesitating whether he should go forward and report it.

Fang Xiaoru saw him and asked, "Liu Xing, what's the result of your inquiry at the General Administration Department?"

In a word, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Because everyone knew that there was no news about the memorial they jointly played, it was obvious that Fang Xiaoru asked his students to inquire.

The student bowed and saluted, "Reporting to Mr., the student followed Mr.'s order to go to the General Administration Department to inquire. The people from the General Administration Department said that the memorial has been sent up, and the students are asked to continue to wait for the news..."

Waiting for news?

This is equivalent to no news!

Seeing that her memorial was ignored again, Fang Xiaoru burst into a rage!
Trying to suppress his temper, Fang Xiaoru put the teacup on the coffee table, stared at his student and asked, "Are you sure you want to present it to Your Majesty?"

"Uh, the people from the General Administration Department said that it has been submitted..."

The student realized that his husband was strange, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Without saying a word, Fang Xiaoru stood up slowly and straightened her body.

The following disciples, students, and old friends all got up one after another, looking at Fang Xiaoru and waiting for his words.

Looking at the eyes cast on him one by one, Fang Xiaoru said in a deep voice: "It is our duty and responsibility as scholars to care about the affairs of the state and worry about the people of the world. This is called taking the world as our own responsibility!"

Looking at each face, Fang Xiaoru said: "Today's class is over here. I still have something to do, so I won't be far away!"

After saying that, he bowed and saluted.

Xie Jin and the others hurriedly returned the gift, but instead of leaving, they asked, "Mr. Fang, what are your plans?"

Fang Xiaoru gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to knock on the gate of Chengtian!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked!

Knocking... This is something that hasn't happened in many years!

I remember the last time, when His Majesty was living in the East Palace, what happened in the 25th year of Hongwu...

Knocking on the gate, knocking on the palace gate, pointing out officials and common people to complain to the court.

This is either beating the Dengwen drum and going straight to the sky.

Either stop the emperor's car, shout grievances in the street, or make admonitions.

But no matter which one, it is extremely powerful and eye-catching!
So when someone heard him knocking on the que, they said worriedly, "Mr. Fang, go and knock on the que... This is a big deal! If the Holy One blames me..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru shouted loudly: "Those who know don't confuse, those who are benevolent don't worry, and those who are brave don't fear! Fang is not talented! I want to be a brave man!"

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius Zihan", which means: constantly seek knowledge to reduce your confusion about the world.Treat others as yourself sincerely, no longer worry about personal gains and losses.

Move forward bravely and no longer be afraid of any difficulties.

Obviously, he felt that he should be a person who practiced bravely!
This is also in line with his demeanor.

After Fang Xiaoru finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to straighten his crown, then straightened his Confucian clothes,
He took a big step and walked outside.

Everyone hurriedly made way for him to pass through the crowd.

Xie Jin's chest was surging inside, and he was also infected by Fang Xiaoru's transformation. He shouted loudly: "We, the disciples of the sage, at this moment, should bravely move forward and practice the teachings of the sage! Jiangxi Xie Jin wishes! Go with Mister!"

After saying this, he immediately followed Fang Xiaoru.

"Everyone, the time has come to practice the teachings of the sages bravely! I am willing to follow!"

"I am also willing to follow, let's go together!"

"Let's go together!"

In this atmosphere where tens of thousands of people are going to go, all the people present are passionate young people, so they immediately felt boiling all over,
They followed in the footsteps of Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin, and went to Chengtianmen together!

The common people in the market, seeing a group of people in Confucian uniforms gathered together, all stopped to watch!

The expressions on the faces of these people are quite generous, some are tragic, some are resolute,
Some are quite brave, and some even have faint excitement on their faces...

"Oh, what's going on here, where are so many scholars going?"

"When scholars get together, it's definitely not a good thing! But... hehehe, there will be a good show for us!"

"After such a big battle, look at their direction...won't it be going to the imperial city?"

"Go to the imperial city? Are they dying?!"

"What happened to make it worth going to the imperial city? It disturbed the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, so what happened!"

Some people are no strangers to knocking the que.

After all, a few years ago, the common people gathered in Chengtianmen to petition to kill Zhan Hui, and many people participated.

There is also the matter of imperial examination candidates knocking on the gate of Chengtian, many of them have seen it.

These people didn't know what happened, so someone with good intentions followed them all the way, and soon there were many people accompanying them.

Wucheng Bingmasi and Jin Yiwei had already received the news, but due to the imperial court's regulations, how dare they stop it!

So he had to send people to maintain order while reporting to the higher authorities.

To the outside of Chengtian Gate is the Waiwulong Bridge, and further forward is the Thousand-step Corridor. On the left and right of the Thousand-Step Corridor are the Six Ministries of the Imperial Court, as well as the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

If you go through the Chengtian Gate and go inside until you reach the Fengtian Hall, this is the Imperial City, also called the Outer Court.

So Chengtian Gate is a dividing line.

This is a place where ordinary people can go. In history, after Zhu Di moved his capital to the north, the area around Chengtianmen was called Tianmenmen Square in later generations...

Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin soon led the crowd outside Chengtian Gate.

Looking at the towering city tower, Fang Xiaoru stopped.

At this time, the general guarding the city looked at the Confucian scholars under the city, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb...

The most difficult thing to deal with is the scholar!

But the responsibility lies, and I can only deal with it, shouting loudly: "Who are you? Why are you gathered here?! Could it be that you want to rebel!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was charged with crimes!
I only hope that when they are emotional, they will not check for a while, or ignore it, or keep silent,
The generals who defended the city had caught the handle!Take the lead!
Fang Xiaoru said in a loud voice: "In our world, there are only loyal ministers who are loyal to the country! There are no rebellious ministers!"

"My official Hanzhong taught Fang Xiaoru that there are memorials to be submitted directly to His Majesty, please read them!"
