Zhu Qiming got up and arched his hand and said, "Please Mr. Huang for advice!" ”

Huang Ying is an old man, maybe he is still an emperor, so Zhu Qiming is polite to him, but under Zhu Qiming's respectful appearance, there is clearly a deviant and short-term heart!

"Master Lu's interpretation is acceptable, please explain it to His Royal Highness." Huang Ying pondered for a moment, and then read out a passage from the Analects in a frustrated tone: "Chen Sifu asked: 'Zhao Gong knows the etiquette? Confucius said, "Knowing propriety." Confucius retreated, and he said: 'I heard that the gentleman is not a party, and the gentleman is also a party?' Jun is taken from Wu, with the same surname, called Wu Mencius. You know the etiquette, who doesn't know the etiquette? 'The witch horse is coming. Zi said: 'Qiu is also lucky, Gou has had it, and people will know it. ’”

Chen Sifu asked: "Does Lu Zhaogong know how to be polite?" Confucius said, "Know how to be polite." After Confucius came out, Chen Si made a gesture to Confucius's disciple Wu Ma Qi, asked him to approach him, and said to him: "I have heard that the gentleman is impartial, does the gentleman still protect others?" Lu Jun married a woman as his wife in the state of Wu, with the same surname as Lu Jun, and called her Wu Mengzi, which was obviously against the etiquette system. If Lu Jun is considered to be polite, who else is not polite? Wu Ma Qi told Confucius what Chen Si had defeated. Confucius said, "I am really lucky, if I did, people would know about it." ”

Here, it is obviously against etiquette for Lu Zhaogong to marry a woman with the same surname, but Confucius must uphold the highest standard under the patriarchal system, that is, "for the venerable", which contradicts "the gentleman is not a party" (that is, the gentleman does not favor anyone), and on the philosophical level, it is a "binary paradox", and "for the venerable" and "the gentleman is not a party" are incompatible, which caused Confucius's embarrassment.

If you are not familiar with the great Confucians of the past dynasties, especially Zhu Xi's commentary on Confucius's protection, it is inevitable that you will be confused.

The preset meaning: Hmph, there is no way to teach, the prince's Xixi is not Erer, compared with the emperor, the gap is more than 108,000 miles!

At this moment, it is not difficult for Zhu Qiming to make a decent interpretation, although it is far less subtle than Mr. Lu's words, but it can also be explained. However, he made up his mind that he was going to drill into the cage!

"The student was puzzled." Zhu Qiming shook his head and said.

Huang Ying's face widened when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Xi very proudly, "Take a look, take a look!" Prince Yue's study in the palace is also a big deal, so today the emperor ordered the old man to come and see what is going on, but it is just a show, but it is such a scene! Alas, there are rumors in the market that your Master Lu's knowledge is better than that of Master Hanlin, and the old man was originally somewhat convinced, but now he ······" Huang Ying didn't say anything anymore, just shook her head again and again.

I see!

When he saw that other people's names overshadowed him, he became jealous, hum, literati are light, this has been the case since ancient times!

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be stunned that a dignified bachelor was so narrow-minded. I think that even if this seat is unbearable, I can't blame Mr. Lu for entering school for the first time, but this waiter bachelor is clearly going to get along with Mr. Lu!

Lu Xiyu's head finally twisted, and his eyes turned to Zhu Qiming, which clearly contained anger and indisputability.

Lu Xi said very sincerely: "The rumors in the market are not to be believed, how can Lu's knowledge be compared with Master Huang!" ”

After seeing Lu Xi's embarrassment and Huang Ying's pride, he saluted Zhu Qiming indifferently, and gathered around Huang Ying, saying well-behaved words that didn't sound sensual, which made Huang Ying laugh again and again.

"Bachelor Huang, the students don't understand, why did Confucius say the word 'understand etiquette'?" Zhu Qiming looked at Huang Ying quietly, his expression was very calm.

I don't understand this! Huang Ying thought that Zhu Qiming was humbly seeking advice, so he stroked his beard and said: "It is the truth of the ages to hide for the Venerable, Confucius covered up the evil of the king, and he was happy to hear it afterwards, and kept the principle of 'the gentleman is not a party', taking into account both, Confucius is worthy of being a saint!" Yan Bi turned his head to look at Lu Xi, with disdain.

Both? Not necessarily! Zhu Qimingyun lightly threw out another question: "Then, after Confucius said the word 'understand etiquette', did he cover up the evil of the king, or did he highlight the evil of the king!" ”

Everyone at the scene, including Lu Xiyu, was shocked.

The great Confucians of the past dynasties only looked at the process and did not look at the results, and never considered what the consequences would be after Confucius said the word "understand etiquette", so it was inevitable that the people on the scene would make mistakes for a while, and after thinking clearly, no one dared to speak accordingly!

Everyone in the world knows that Lu Zhaogong married a woman with the same surname, and everyone in the world knows that it is against etiquette to marry a woman with the same surname, so Confucius said that "understanding etiquette" not only can not cover up the evil of the monarch at all, but because the world-famous Confucius actually said that Lu Jun understands etiquette and makes the people of the world curious, and then spreads Lu Jun's violation of etiquette more widely and for a longer time, which is a typical desire to cover up!

Huang Ying's face was slightly red, and there was embarrassment in her eyes.

Zhu Qiming is not satisfied, he wants to make a big deal! "When Confucius said the word 'understand etiquette', he obviously put aside 'the gentleman is not a party' and just wanted to 'speak for His Holiness', but the result may be the opposite of what was expected, and both will be lost, why is Confucius like this? Students are puzzled! ”

Over there, Huang Ying's eyes widened, and only a bluff remained, "Confucius is the emperor of the ages, please be cautious!" ”

"No, the student just doesn't understand. As the saying goes: Don't say anything indecent. Chen Sifu knew that Lu Zhaogong was the ancestor of Confucius, and asked whether Lu Zhaogong understood etiquette, which was rude, Confucius brushed his sleeves away, and it was okay to deal with it out of politeness, so that he could not only be a venerable man, but also keep the gentleman's reason, but why did Confucius say the word 'understand etiquette' straightforwardly? ”

Zhu Qiming was very interested, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Xi handing over his eyes, and immediately realized that he was afraid that he would fall into the mouth of an unrespectful saint, and immediately made a watertight conclusion: "The words and deeds of the saint are unfathomable, how can we ordinary people have an epiphany?" I also ask Mr. Huang to give advice. ”

Huang Ying was stunned there, her face was red and white for a while, she hesitated for a long time, and walked away with a calm face.

"If the matter is big, there will definitely be a storm in the court!"

"Yes, I'm afraid this matter will alarm the emperor!"

More than a dozen young and strong officials muttered, bowed to Zhu Qiming, turned to Lu Xi and bowed, and left with excitement on their faces, all of them showing a look of not being afraid of the height of the stage.

Lu Xi's face was grim, "Master Huang is here for Lu, why does His Highness bother?" I am afraid that His Highness's words will be denounced as heresy, how can this be good! ”

"Father don't worry." Lu Xi got up and glanced at Zhu Qiming lightly, "If he dares to do this, he must have a certain number in his heart." ”

Hey, my sister still understands me! But can't you be as fearful of me as your father did?

Zhu Qiming was slightly disappointed, bowed to Lu Xi and said, "Don't worry, sir, the student's actions today have nothing to do with sir." ”

Isn't this nonsense? Am I worried about myself? Over there, Lu Xi shook his head and sighed.

What happened in the Qingyuan Palace soon spread to Qingning Palace, and when Zhu Qiming returned, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting there with a worried face, while Princess Changde was walking back and forth restlessly.

"Qi Ming, you got into trouble on the first day of school, it's really yours!" Princess Changde grabbed Zhu Qiming's arm and pulled him to the Empress Dowager's seat, "Don't admit your mistake to the imperial grandmother!" ”

Thinking that the emperor's grandmother had just recovered, she had to worry about herself, Zhu Qiming couldn't bear it in her heart, "Imperial grandmother, the grandson is careless, the emperor's grandmother is worried, and the grandson is guilty!" Please don't think about your grandchildren, take care of yourself! ”

The Empress Dowager obviously wanted to comfort Zhu Qiming, so her face softened, "You have been out of school for many years, and now you are studying for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes." The imperial grandmother is only a beginner in Confucianism, so it is inconvenient to comment on who is right and wrong, it's just that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it, and you don't have to be afraid. ”

Having said that, the Qingning Palace was shrouded in a slightly depressing atmosphere for a long time. Princess Changde refused to leave, stayed with the Empress Dowager, and waited for the news from the emperor.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qiming didn't have to go to school, so he buried himself in the East Pavilion to read history, and before dinner, he was called to the main hall by Princess Changde.

Kim Young is here!

Zhu Qiming has a good impression of Jin Ying, and always feels that Jin Ying is his lucky star, and good news may come with him.

But there was no sign from Jin Ying's complexion, and Zhu Qiming couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"In the morning, the matter in the Qingyuan Palace reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor said: Prince Yue is negligent in his studies, and his words and deeds are absurd." Jin Ying said slowly.

Zhu Qiming's heart sank. The Empress Dowager over there frowned slightly, and Princess Changde was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

"The emperor said that the next time he will be with Prince Yue at the feast."

Zhu Qiming was shocked in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw the imperial grandmother nodding slowly with deep meaning, while Princess Changde was stunned.
