Chapter Fifty-Seven: Foolish Loyalty
"What advice does Li Banyu have?" Huang Zicheng was also stunned when he saw Li Jie standing up, and then frowned.
In fact, since Zhu Biao introduced them to each other just now, Huang Zicheng has never had any communication with Li Jie, this is mainly because Huang Zicheng doesn't think much of Li Jie, because in his opinion, the prince's companion is either from the Guozijian or from the Hanlin Academy, but Li Jie was selected as the prince's companion just because of the credit of the hot air balloon, in his opinion, Li Jie is simply a craftsman, how can this kind of person be the prince's companion?
"Mr. Huang talks about the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and seems to be very much in favor of the imperial court's use of military suppression, but Mr. Huang, have you ever thought about how much money and food will be spent on soldiers together? Moreover, when soldiers are used in the country, all the dead and wounded are the people in the country, is this what Mr. Huang wants to see? Li Jie asked two rhetorical questions in a row.
Of course, the rebellion must be suppressed, but Huang Zicheng is now the teacher of the two children, and what he just said is actually instilling in the two children the idea that force can solve everything, and this kind of behavior is very unqualified for a teacher, because before he proposed to suppress it by force, he should let the two children understand what kind of consequences and effects the suppression of force will bring.
"Of course, I know the consequences of sending troops, but if I don't send troops, will I watch those princes and kings rebel? For the sake of the country's righteousness, it is natural to give up some! Huang Zicheng looked at Li Jie coldly and replied.
"Confucius said benevolence, Mencius takes righteousness, Mr. Huang, you are also a saint, don't you know that to teach students, you must first take benevolence as the mainstay, if the superior does not have a benevolent heart, then how can you talk about righteousness?" Li Jie also retorted mercilessly, although he could not memorize the Analects, he was still very familiar with the Confucian theory.
"Doesn't Li Banyu agree with my teachings to the emperor?" Huang Zicheng heard that Li Jie was talking about benevolence and righteousness in front of him, and immediately sneered and asked again.
"Not bad!" Li Jie was also a little annoyed at this time, "Reading history makes people wise, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms led to the cannibalism of the Han clan and the displacement of the people, as a teacher, Mr. Huang should teach students to learn from it, so as to avoid this kind of tragedy as much as possible, instead of blindly provoking the relationship between the royal family and the vassal king, and using force recklessly!" ”
Li Jie's words can be described as quite ruthless, because he directly accused Huang Zicheng of provoking the relationship between the royal family and the vassal king, if these words reach Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, I am afraid that ten of him will not be enough for Lao Zhu to cut.
Sure enough, Huang Zicheng's face changed greatly when he heard Li Jie's words, and then he shouted angrily: "Li Jie, don't spew blood, I'm just teaching the emperor and grandson to read history, I think you are ill-intentioned!" ”
"Hmph, don't you know it yourself!" Li Jie smiled contemptuously and said, he finally knew why Zhu Yunwen in history had a lot of tricks when he was in the Battle of Jingjing, and it was strange that he could learn well with people like Huang Zicheng.
"You...... You...... You are arrogant! Huang Zicheng was incoherent by Li Jieqi's words, and after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and left, not even going to class.
Looking at the back of Huang Zicheng's departure, Li Jie was full of sneers, many people in later generations overturned the case for Huang Zicheng, saying that he was a loyal minister, even after Zhu Di conquered Nanjing, he still conspired to resist, but unfortunately he was arrested later, and he was also dismembered by Zhu Di and died, but Li Jie thought that the damage caused by a stupid loyal minister was sometimes more terrible than that of a traitorous minister.
"Li Banyu, how can you be so rude to Mr. Huang!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly turned around and accused Li Jie quite annoyed.
"Am I rude?" Li Jie was also a little speechless, "Does the emperor think what I just said is unreasonable?" ”
"Whether it makes sense or not, Mr. Huang has taught us for many years, and I have always regarded him as a teacher, and it is rude for Li Ban to read that you confront Mr. Huang in person!" After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he didn't allow Li Jie to defend himself, so he stood up and went to chase Huang Zicheng.
Li Jie also frowned when he saw Zhu Yunwen's reaction, he didn't expect that Huang Zicheng had established such a big influence on Zhu Yunwen, and it actually made Zhu Yunwen to the point of not asking about indiscriminateness, this kind of influence can not be established overnight, but accumulated over the years, in other words, he may be late, and it is almost impossible to change Zhu Yunwen's trust in Huang Zicheng.
Zhu Yunwen went to chase Huang Zicheng, but Zhu Yunxi didn't leave, but turned his head to look at Li Jie, which made Li Jie laugh and said, "Why don't you chase Mr. Huang?" ”
"Mr. Huang doesn't like me again, wouldn't it be boring for me to chase him?" Zhu Yunxi's expression was a little gloomy when he spoke, and then he asked Li Jie with some curiosity, "Mr. Huang is a cautious person, Li Banshu read that you confronted him in person, aren't you afraid that he will go to my father to sue you?" ”
"He didn't dare!" Li Jie smiled calmly.
"How do you know he doesn't dare?" Zhu Yunxi didn't believe it when he heard this.
"I said he didn't dare, he just didn't dare, if the emperor didn't believe it, how about we make a bet?" Li Jie said very confidently, this kid is his scheduled future brother-in-law, so Li Jie has decided to have a good relationship with him first.
"Why?" Zhu Yunxi was also very interested when he heard this.
"If Mr. Huang goes to the prince to complain, then I will lose, then you ask, I will help you do one thing, anything, if I win, then you have to help me do one thing!" Li Jie said again with a smile.
Li Jie accused Huang Zicheng of distancing the relationship between the royal family and the vassal king, which was a big taboo for Zhu Yuanzhang, so Li Jie bet that Huang Zicheng would not only not complain, but would do his best to conceal today's quarrel, so Zhu Yunxi lost.
"Good! I bet! Zhu Yunxi really entered the pit, but then he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said again in a weak tone and a little embarrassed, "That...... If you win, can you not mention the too difficult request, my father only likes my eldest brother, I can't speak in front of my father, if it's too difficult, I can't do it. ”
"Don't worry, my request is simple!" Li Jie also smiled when he heard this.
However, Li Jie also found from here that although Zhu Yunxi loves to cry, he is actually very smart, he knows that his ability is limited, and he thinks that he wants him to help, but in fact, he is asking his father Zhu Biao for help, which is quite difficult for a child to think of this layer, but he doesn't know that the help he wants him to help has nothing to do with Zhu Biao.
"By the way, why do you say that the prince doesn't like you?" Li Jie turned to ask again, after all, he had just arrived, and he didn't know much about Zhu Biao's family affairs.
"I ...... I am poor at reading, my brain is not as smart as my eldest brother, and I am not even as good as my eldest brother in calligraphy, so of course my father will not like me! Zhu Yunxi also lowered his guard against Li Jie at this time, and in the end, he also showed an aggrieved expression, and his eyes were red and he was about to shed tears.
"Who told you that if you are poor at studying, you can't please the prince?" Li Jie slapped the table and asked rhetorically.
