People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 102 You Fake Apocrypha, You Are a Traitor
Kong Na and Zhang Yi look at me and I look at you, but they don’t understand what the old man told him to do?
Zhang Yi watched the other students head towards the cafeteria one after another, and reluctantly followed the old man, but he didn't expect that when the old man walked to his room, someone had prepared dishes and tea.

The meal was simple and light, and the lunch of Guozixue Jijiu was not a bit meaty. This is where Zhang Yi was most unaccustomed to the diet of the ancients, because he needed a lot of protein when he grew up.

After sitting down, Xu Cunren didn't let the two talk, but signaled to eat first!
Eating without talking and sleeping without talking is the most basic etiquette when eating.
The three of them ate unpalatable dishes in silence, Kong Na frowned slightly, although he had tried hard to get used to it, the food outside was not as exquisite as Qufu after all.

But his subtle expression fell into the eyes of others,

"Mencius said: "Heaven will send a great mission to man. He must first suffer from his heart and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, cut down his body and actions, and do not mess with his actions. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what he can't do. .”

Xu Cunren finished eating first, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to Kong Na.

Kong Na was startled, knowing that his incompatibility was seen by Mr.
He quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, pretending to be listening.

"I see that you are alone in the school, and you probably know your predicament, but this time you come to the capital, you should come with a tempered heart. Both of your Zhang and Kong families are the same. After experiencing the wealth and honor of the previous dynasty, you must To bear the pain of prosperity and decline,
This is a debt owed by Zhang and Kong's family. It's just hard work for you! "

Xu Cunren's voice was gentle, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. He didn't give Kong Na a high opinion of him because of his identity, nor did he deliberately keep a distance because of the troubles in the Kong family.

Kong Na was very moved for a moment. He walked in the lonely hell of Yingtian Mansion, and he could only feel some warmth from Zhu Biao and the gentleman in front of him.

"Thank you for your teaching, sir, Bo Yan will keep it in his heart!
In fact, Yan Bobin doesn't think that Yingtian's trip is tempering, and getting His Majesty to let me practice in Guozixue is already a blessing that Boyan can't do.

How to speak up and sharpen? "

Kong Na bowed sincerely, making Xu Cunren smile slightly.

But the words in his mouth were obviously not from the heart, but Xu Cunren didn't care about it. Kong Na's current situation destined him to be careful every word he said. This child is actually not easy.

After he finished what he should say to Kong Na, he turned his eyes to Zhang Yi, who giggled:
"Mr. Xu, I don't seek fame and fame, and I don't inherit the family business. I don't need tempering!"

Xu Cunren's well-prepared emotions were stunned by this kid, and he was speechless for a long time, then he suddenly laughed:

"I also know that you kid is here to sharpen others!"

An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled, making Kong Na bewildered.

It's the first day of school, and I treat outsiders with care,

The relationship between Zhang Yi and Mr. Xu seems to be more like friends. How can this guy make Mr. Xu look at him differently?

Why does he associate with whomever he associates with, as if they were friends of the same generation?

Even Kong Na admired Zhang Yi's social ability.

"The old man is about to retire, and I don't need you, a brat, to sharpen me. Then guess again, why should I ask you?"

"Probably because of Mr. Wang's saying that knowledge and action are one?"

Zhang Yi thought for a while, he didn't have much for the old man to think about.
However, this time it was obvious that he guessed wrong. Mr. Xu took out a copy of "The Great Sutra of the Microcosmic World" and put it in front of Zhang Yi. He pointed to the book and asked Zhang Yi:
"Please explain to me why a virus is not a life, but a living thing?"

Zhang Yi was dumbfounded, what did the old man ask?
But looking at Xu Cunren's serious look, he could only explain seriously.

"This probably involves the theory of cells. The most basic unit of life is a cell, but a virus is not an organism in the form of a cell, so it is not a life, but a living thing..."

Kong Na was dumbfounded. He just watched Zhang Yi and Xu Cunren holding a scripture and discussing something he couldn't understand. Moreover, these discussions seemed more like Zhang Yi was teaching Mr. Xu.

He knew every word in the conversation between the two, but he couldn't understand the meaning of life when they connected it together.

This situation frustrated Kong Na, who had always looked down on Zhang Yi and felt that he was ignorant.

So he didn't leave, just stood aside and listened attentively, but he hadn't read the book "The Supreme Being", so he sounded doomed to be useless.

"Sir, please forgive me, I have tried my best to explain it!"

Zhang Yi talked for a while, Xu Cunren half understood what he said, and finally surrendered.

Biology is not so easy to learn. Zhang Yi only wanted to popularize some principles of microbes in the book "The Supreme Being", and the essence was to preach that the people should drink boiled water and promote vaccination.

His purpose is to bury the concept of the microcosm for Huaxia, and wait until it comes naturally to take root.

But if you want to fully comprehend these things at once, it is really too difficult.

Although Xu Cunren is an old man, Zhang Yi also admires his desire to seek knowledge.

The old man finally let him go, and then closed "Tai Shang".

"The person who wrote this book must be a peerless genius. Although this book is a forgery, it also proves the background of the Zhang family..."

"Apocrypha?"

The expressions of Kong Na and Zhang Yi changed drastically, but the reasons in their hearts were different.

"The Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World" is a scripture promoted by the emperor himself. If it is said to be apocryphal, doesn't it mean that some people have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?
Kong Na's young heart suffered an extremely shocking blow.

In particular, the originator of this apocryphal scriptures, the direct successor of Longhushan, is sitting in front of Mr. Xu Cunren, if he speaks out carelessly, how will Zhang Yi behave.

"Apocrypha, impossible?"

Zhang Yi pretended to be crazy and foolish, Xu Lao seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"As far as this nonsense grammar is concerned, if it is said that the Taishang dictated it, the Taishang will die of anger. Although the scriptures have been polished by someone, the traces of the compiler's poor grammar can't be modified..."

Zhang Yi had an awkward smile on his face, it was the first time someone pointed at his face and scolded him, he also wanted to save face, okay?

"Is it really that bad?"

Zhang Yi asked unwillingly, Xu Cunren replied: "It's like a child who has never read a book seriously. If the content in the book is not shocking and the value is really high, the old man will read the first word of this scripture. Throw it away!"

Old iron, don't bring such humiliation!
After being output by someone riding his face, Zhang Yi couldn't reply for a long time.

He admits that his writing is bad, but it's not that bad, right?
Seeing his appearance, Xu Cunren felt blessed.

He blurted out: "You didn't forge this scripture, did you?"

After Mr. Xu finished speaking this blurted words, he himself felt abrupt, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really possible.

Zhang Yi naturally wouldn't admit it, he said sternly:
"Absolutely impossible!

Be careful what you say, sir! "

Zhang Yi didn't want to get involved in such things as the crime of deceiving the emperor, although he also understood that with the intelligence of the emperor in the deep palace, he might not be unable to see the problem with the scriptures.

But it doesn't matter, the emperor needs Longhushan to help him complete a political show, and the fake one is also true.

It can be said that in the past dynasties, the auspicious signs sent by Taoist priests and officials are not fake?
On the contrary, Xu Cunren is the real danger when he publicly questioned that the scriptures are fake.

Zhang Yi reminded that Mr. Xu didn't ask any more.

"Forget it, you little cunning, then our second thing..."

The apocryphal scriptures seemed to be gently exposed in this way.

On one side, Kong Na felt that his cognition had been greatly impacted.

He is also considered a smart person. He heard the conversation between Zhang Yi and Xu Lao clearly. Judging from Zhang Yi's performance, the apocryphal scriptures are absolutely true.

But neither Mr. Xu nor Zhang Yi took this matter to heart.

That is the crime of bullying the king!

Kong Na was in a mess by himself, Zhang Yi and Xu, one old and one young, were two foxes who had already started bargaining...

"How much else did that man named Wang Mingyang tell you?"

"Not much more, I don't remember clearly..."

"You try to memorize it, I will give you less homework, and you can deal with the emperor... You see, I am a person who is about to retire, and I have no hobbies other than reading..."

Xu Cunren's philistine appearance made Zhang Yi like this old man a little bit.

In his heart, a real scholar is not just holding his hand, but being as down-to-earth as the old man in front of him.

Neither humble nor overbearing, how many people can do it?
He was about to bargain with Xu Cunren when someone shouted outside:

"Master Jijiu, someone from the palace!"

Xu Cunren was taken aback for a moment, why are people in the palace looking for him at this time?
He hurried out, and Zhang Yi and Kong Na had no choice but to follow.

A eunuch was already waiting in the yard.

"The prince!"

This is not the first time Xu Cunren has entered the palace, and the father-in-law in front of him is also an acquaintance.

The prince saw Xu Cunren and smiled:

"Lord Xu, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor chatted about Your Excellency in the palace, and His Highness the Crown Prince said that he missed you,
Your Highness asked me to come to you, and you can enter the palace at your convenience! "

When the emperor and the crown prince came to him, Mr. Xu would naturally not neglect him.

He turned around and said:
"Half a day off today, you two can do what you want, I'll go to the palace, you guys remember, Wang Mingyang..."

Elder Xu was still afraid that Zhang Yi would change his mind, so he made a special mention.

Zhang Yi chuckled, nodded in agreement.

After Mr. leaves.Zhang Yi found that Kong Na was staring at him straightly?

He was inexplicable: "Is there something wrong?"

Kong Na took a deep breath, looked at him contemptuously, and said:
"Pretending to be a ghost, deceiving the emperor and committing crimes, causing trouble to the government, is it really a disgrace to me to be a classmate with you?"

Is there something wrong with this guy?
Zhang Yi didn't know where Kong Na's inexplicable hostility came from?

But he is not a good-tempered person, so he replied directly:
"Traitor!"

Kong Na's face lost a trace of blood in an instant, and his face turned from pale to flushed immediately.

The word "traitor" has long been an untouchable rebel for the Confucian family. As long as the Zhu family reigns, Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation will always follow the Confucian family like a shadow!
"Say one more thing!" Kong Na's voice had changed a bit.

"Traitor!"

"I'm going to report on your Zhang family for fabricating scriptures!"

"Go and sue, childish!"

Zhang Yi can be afraid of many things about Zhu Yuanzhang, but he is not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang knowing that "The Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World" is a pseudo-scripture.

Because the emperor probably knew it well a long time ago, but he used the "people's heart" of Longhushan to implement his own policies. ?
It is related to the merits of being able to leave a name in history. The emperor said that he is true, and it is true.

This is also the reason why many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty could see that there was something wrong with that scripture, but no one said it.

Seeing that he couldn't help Zhang Yi, Kong Na went mad with anger.

This place is in the Guozi Academy, but it is Xu Cunren's own small courtyard. He was so angry that he rushed towards Zhang Yi and pushed Zhang Yi.

"What are you going to do? A gentleman is not a weapon, let's use our words but not our hands..."

"I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Kong Na gritted his teeth and was about to punish Wei when suddenly his eyes hurt, but the sand Zhang Yi picked up dazzled his eyes.

"Forget that I am a Taoist priest, not a gentleman, a copycat!"

Zhang Yi raised his fist and punched Kong Na.

Kong Na was beaten and cried!
