Zhu Qiming looked up, saw the old woman and her son on the other side of the door returned home, hurriedly closed the door, a moment later, there were bursts of scolding, slang in the country, Zhu Qiming didn't understand, only knew that the old woman's tone was very harsh, and then, the daughter-in-law's crying voice floated over.

can't give birth, and there is a suspicion of provoking bees and butterflies, presumably the daughter-in-law's life is very difficult. Unconsciously, Zhu Qiming felt compassion for the woman.

From Pang Zhe's mouth, Zhu Qiming learned that the woman's family name was Yu, her husband's family name was Guo, and she had no name, and others used to call her "Guo family".

Zhu Qiming's mind was full of the grievances of the "Guo family", and Pang Zhe over there seemed to be in a bad mood, muttered for a long time, and finally sighed, and soon entered a state of contemplation again.

Zhu Qiming was no longer cautious, he picked up his thoughts, found a copy of "New Tang Dynasty Book" by Pang Zhe's couch, and read it very attentively.

At lunchtime, the daughter-in-law on the other side did not go out, so the old woman and her son came to deliver the meal.

Liang Gang and Xu Gong stepped on the meal and came back to have lunch in a hurry, and went out to guard each other. Zhu Qiming still read the "New Tang Book" after dinner, while Pang Zhe continued to think about the mysteries of the universe.

It wasn't until just before dinner that the woman on the other side of the door went out and came with her man to deliver the meal.

Zhu Qiming saw that her face was haggard and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, so he walked up to her and called, "Auntie." ”

The woman was slightly stunned, then smiled sadly at him, and reached out to stroke his head.

"Auntie, if you swallow your anger at Zhang Xiucai, you will inevitably be wronged."

The woman was stunned, and her man only nodded to Pang Zhe and Zhu Qiming frequently.

"Although a showman has a fame and fame, and his name is not small, but a woman's reputation for chastity is taken very seriously by the world, you don't have to be afraid of offending him, don't worry about making trouble, even if it goes to the government, the government will be on your side. All you have to do is find a day to be a martyr. ”

The Xiucai of the Ming Dynasty enjoyed many privileges, and many Xiucai became slippery people because of this, taking over local lawsuits, probing the private affairs of county orders and state officials to coerce the government to bend the law, and others could not do anything to him, otherwise, what "pit Confucianism", "killing" and other big hats will fly all over the sky, and no one in the hundred officials is willing to bear the notoriety, even the emperor.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "all evils and fornications are the first", how important is a woman's chastity, and the chaste women are all highly respected by the world. Therefore, if the matter is brought to the official office, the name of the virgin can easily overshadow the fame of Xiucai.

But a woman's chastity is often scolded and beaten, not guarded, if you don't beat or scold, who knows that you keep your chastity? It's a pity that most of the villagers are honest and can't figure out these truths.

"Spirited Girl?" The "Guo family" was puzzled.

Do you have to be a martyr to prove her innocence by death? Only then did Zhu Qiming realize that he had just used the wrong words, and the "Guo family" might not be able to understand what the martyr meant, so he immediately changed his words: "Oh, just scold him loudly and splash him with sewage, so that the villagers and neighbors can see your chastity." ”

Over there, Pang Zhe turned his head abruptly and said loudly: "Don't be afraid of him, it's really troublesome, Uncle Pang will come forward to fight a lawsuit for you!" ”

The woman thanked her and called her man out of the door, seeing that she looked timid when she left, Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that it was useless, and he had wasted his words.

"Although Pang lives in seclusion here, he doesn't have to be incognito, His Royal Highness is different, His Royal Highness must hide his identity, and it is not appropriate to talk to the villagers rashly."

Zhu Qiming was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that he did not reveal hidden intentions to Pang Zhe, and Xu Gong did not dare to say more, so why did Pang Zhe repeatedly decide that he, the prince, planned to be incognito?

Could it be that Pang Zhe has many secrets of the capital in his heart?

Pang Zhe over there obviously had no intention of resolving Zhu Qiming's doubts, and his face was leisurely, "I am friends with Lu Xi, and I have leisure today, so I want to have a chat with His Highness, can I?" ”

"Please sir."

"It can be asserted that His Highness has not learned much useful knowledge from Lu Xi. Reading should be applied to what you have learned, familiar with historical books, read the world, and then compare the two, think about it, and strategize, which is more practical than indulging in Confucianism all day long. ”

Pang Zhe's words touched Zhu Qiming's heart, and Zhu Qiming couldn't help nodding again and again.

"Your Highness is so young, you can repeatedly use tricks to kill all the Tartars, strange people! There are countless people reading below, knowing that His Royal Highness is not a thing in the pool, and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty cannot pre-govern, which is really a pity! Otherwise, in time, His Royal Highness may be able to show the unique insight of Bang Sheji in a time of danger than the important ministers of the court. ”

"Sir, praise." Zhu Qiming bowed and said.

"The royal family can't pre-govern, but I hope His Royal Highness is an exception!" Pang Zhe's face was slightly gloomy, and he said a little mysteriously: "Presumably, His Highness can't let go of the external troubles of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, but His Highness must understand the truth that 'if you don't repair internal affairs, you won't be able to do anything externally'." ”

"Late life knows a little bit about it."

"Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to etiquette and order, and by maintaining etiquette and order, we can maintain the stability of the world, so the established law cannot be changed without permission, and changing the law without permission will inevitably lead to chaos, the people's morale will be scattered, and the foundation of the country will be shaken."

"It is difficult for small people to escape the punishment of the law if they exceed the law, but this is not the case for the powerful, and power and money can erase many traces. After a long period of peace, the strong and powerful have become more and more treacherous, arbitrarily accumulating wealth, and finally making people's livelihood difficult. When the country has internal troubles and the people are about to change, people of insight in the DPRK have no choice but to change the law to relieve the people's hardship, strengthen the treasury, and resolve the internal worries. At this point, the change means rebirth. ”

Zhu Qiming arched his hand and said: "Late students should be taught." Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has both internal and external troubles, and it is urgent to change the law to reform the evils of the times. ”

Pang Zhe shook his head slowly, "Changing the law is to make up for the deficiency by losing more than it gains, it is necessary to restrain the strong and powerful, and it will damage the interests of scholars and relatives, which will inevitably attract the attack of many people, and it is difficult for those who change the law to move an inch." Moreover, the interests involved in the change are extremely heavy, if there is no orderly order, the change will inevitably evolve into a gluttonous feast for the powerful, when Wang Anshi changed the law was a group of corrupt officials to ruin the name, so, the change should take the art of the legalists, and impose severe punishments. However, there are still people in the temple today who are willing to be cool officials who lose fame and fortune? ”

Zhu Qiming was difficult to answer Pang Zhe's question, he didn't know much about the important ministers in the court, but he knew that the end of the cool officials was miserable.

"No one will stick their head out!" Pang Zhe said categorically: "The planners above the temple are all Confucian scholars, and they are very disdainful of the Legalist arts, and they are even more afraid of the name of the cool officials. ”

Zhu Qiming was deeply influenced by Confucianism in the past and had no good impression of cool officials. After being exiled, the bloody and cruel reality made him have to look at the hundred schools of thought again, so although he knew little about the personnel of the DPRK and China, this did not prevent him from quickly agreeing with Pang Zhe's assertion. In the final analysis, judging from the nature of the world's people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, those who are willing to be cool officials are tantamount to making fools!

Therefore, it is difficult to change the law. Now the society is worried, at this time, someone must have a far-sighted plan, the people in the court and the central government can't count on it, His Royal Highness is very talented, and his identity is extraordinary, over time, he may be full of strange strategies, and he will not know how to save the building in the future! Pang Zhe sighed and sighed: "It's a pity, if the disadvantages are not removed, then the clever strategy may save the society for a while, but it can't ensure the sustainability of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered Daoist Qingsong, who implanted small stories containing strategies into his mind and gave him strategic enlightenment. Now, after Pang Zhe's click, the depth of his thinking has unconsciously increased by several levels.

"Later students will follow the teachings of the master, but apply what they have learned."

Pang Zhe nodded, "Yes, first learn Tao's strategy, and then think about the country's plan!" Your Highness can let go of your hands and feet, and you don't have to worry too much, of course, on top of the scheming temple, it is not beneficial to be a frank gentleman, and you still have to use the art of scheming, otherwise, either you don't do things, and you will make too many enemies if you want to do things, so Your Highness may not be able to make great achievements. ”

Zhu Qiming bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice!" ”

Pang Zhe got up and came to Zhu Qiming's side, and helped Zhu Qiming with both hands, "Your Highness is young, but you are so witty, what you can do in the future will be limitless, and you will entrust your long-cherished wish that is difficult to achieve to Your Highness, if Your Highness does not dislike it, I will pour out what I know in my wish for His Highness's reference!" ”

Zhu Qiming was about to give a salute and thank you, but saw Liang Gang break in. Liang Gang hugged Zhu Qiming and ran out. "Your Highness, come with me to meet an old man."

Old friend? Zhu Qiming's stomach was full of suspicions, and he quickly went down the ramp with Liang Gang, passed through a bush, and suddenly saw a familiar back in front of him under the shade of Huai.

Liang Gang put down Zhu Qiming and quietly hidden.

After a moment of shock, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his blood began to boil, and before he could call, Zhu Qiming whimpered and rushed over, and strings of tears swayed down wantonly.
