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 see, I'll go 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.

Hou Ye didn't expect Zifan to dare to shield these chaotic parties in the imperial court, which really chilled him!

"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.

"Harboring the chaotic party and disturbing the world, what kind of benevolence should this be, and what righteousness does 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.

Confucius said: If you can practice the five virtues in the world, you are a person with benevolence. 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: A monarch who can practice benevolent government will have many people who help and support him. A monarch who is unable to exercise benevolent government will have fewer people to help and support him. There are very few people who help and support him, and relatives inside and outside will betray him. The number of people who helped and supported him was so great that all the people of the world would submit to him. 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, 'Confucius said: A gentleman accomplishes the good deeds of others and does not promote the evil of others, while a villain is the opposite.'" 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: Only the benevolent are suitable to be in a dominant position, and if the benevolent person does not dominate, his sins will be spread to the people of the world." 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.

Confucius said: If you are not in that position, you will not plan the political affairs of that position. As a scholar, you should not judge your own king, you only need to remember that you are diligent and agile in your work, and you are careful in your speech. 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 often say that 'the world is a country'. It can be seen 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. A thousand people are submissive, and it is better for one person to dare to speak out. If the king does not exercise 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 he moved.

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.
