The coachman that day was from the Wei Mansion, so naturally he would report everything to the Hou Ye. Two days later, in the Hou Mansion, Zifan was reading in the study, when the subordinates in the mansion left

came in and said, "Childe, Master Hou let you pass." ”

"Hmm!" Zifan still held the book in his hand, and did not put it down, but continued to look at it.

The subordinate was a little embarrassed and said, "Master Hou asked Gongzi to go over immediately, as if there was an emergency?" ”

Zifan glanced at the servant, put down the book in his hand, and at this moment he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, but Master Hou seems to be angry?" The man in the house bowed his head and replied.

"Well, I'll go over now." After Zifan finished speaking, he walked out of the study.

Minghui Pavilion, although it is night, the candles inside are bright, but people do not feel the darkness.

Zifan walked into the Minghui Pavilion, his father was already sitting there waiting for him, only to see that the teacups on the table were already empty, it seemed that his father was already waiting here a little impatiently.

When the servants beside the Hou Ye saw Gongzi coming, they retreated and closed the door of the palace. Zifan saw this move in his eyes and talked to his father, he had never been so cautious as tonight, and today he actually withdrew all the people in the house.

"Who are those people who live in the western room of the house?" As soon as Hou Ye came, he asked straight to the point.

Zifan didn't expect his father to know about this so quickly, but he didn't plan to hide it from his father, he just wanted to wait for the limelight to pass for a while before telling his father.

"They were chased and killed by soldiers that day, and I had to save them as a last resort." Zifan has no intention of hiding it from his father today.

Hou Ye didn't believe that Zifan would do such a thing, but now that he openly admits it, then this thing is true.

"You kneel for me!" Hearing this, Hou Ye's heart ached, thinking that the teaching of more than ten years would be in vain?

Zifan didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only kneel, but he still felt that he had done nothing wrong in this matter.

"You have been familiar with the way of Confucianism since you were a child, why do you now do such a big rebellious thing regardless of right and wrong?" Hou Ye questioned Zifan and asked him why he did this.

"I'm doing what I do, and I'm brave enough to do it." Zifan argued.

"Assisting in the chaos of the party and disrupting the world, what kind of benevolence should this be, and what kind of righteousness should it see?" Hou Ye was furious.

"The benevolent, the lover; The righteous are altruistic. When someone is in danger, should they stand up or stand by for their own safety and interests? Zifan knelt in front of his father and said.

The eldest son of Wei Hou Ye, who has been familiar with the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, today used Confucian rhetoric to refute his father, and Hou Ye became even more angry.

Zi said: Those who can do the five are benevolent in the world. For example, the people do not know humility, the officials do not know integrity, and the subordinates do not know loyalty. If the people of a country are thinking of murdering the king, will the country be in turmoil, and the people will not be in danger? Master Hou said in a tone of lessons.

"If you don't ask about the indiscriminate, you just ask the people to be loyal. Could it be that if the world is peaceful, the people will live and work in peace and contentment? Mencius's "Gongsun Chouxia" says: Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. Zifan raised his head and looked at his father, and said eloquently.

"It's rare for you to remember Confucianism. In the Analects of Yan Yuan, 'Zi said: The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, the evil of an adult, and the villain as a villain. As the subjects of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, if they did not spread the way of education and peace, they encouraged the people to slander the king. Isn't it the wickedness of adults, this is the behavior of villains. After speaking, Hou Ye looked at Zifan with serious eyes.

Mencius said: Those who are benevolent should be in a high position, and those who are not benevolent should be in a high position, and they are sowing evil to the public. If the unkind person reigns, his sins will be spread to the people. Although Zifan was only seventeen years old, his father's thoughts could not influence his thoughts, and he always felt that the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was simply a mediocre and incompetent person, and such a person was not worthy of being the king of a country.

Zi said: Not in his position, not in his government. As a prince, you should only concentrate on studying and studying, and do not involve in military politics, and as a scholar, you should not judge your own king, but remember to be sensitive and cautious in what you say. Hou Ye retorted.

Back then, it was because Zifan's literature was good, so Marquis Wei was very happy a few years ago, so he asked for a book to play and let him be the prince's companion. But now, he is using these words to contradict himself.

"Mencius said: People have a constant saying, and they all say 'the country under heaven'. The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is in the body. People say 'the country under heaven', which shows that the foundation of the world lies in the country, the foundation of the country lies in the family, and the foundation of the family lies in the individual. If the king does not practice benevolent government, and his ministers and people do not find a way to stop and advise, then the country will be in danger. The more Zifan spoke, the more excited he became.

At this time, Hou Ye listened to Zifan's discussion of politics, and his heart was burning with anger, he thought to himself: It has been more than ten years, and he has worked hard to teach Zifan in the past ten years, but now he can teach him like this......

Unexpectedly, Zifan's personality and temper are still the same as his biological father, which reminds Marquis Wei of Zhang Chen, the strategist of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and now Zifan's temperament is still the same as his father, which is really worrying.
