Chapter 90: The Confessor (II)

Chapter 90

"This is Yang Zhu's learning, and Mencius regarded it as a beast..."Liu Bowen was very sensitive and unceremoniously refuted.

"Click...", another lightning bolt struck in mid-air, and his face was shattered.

understood, at this moment, Liu Ji completely understood. The government of Huaiyang ostensibly obeyed Mencius, but in fact it came entirely from Yang Zhu. Words must be profitable, light on the past and the present, and even have no king and no father. No wonder Manager Zhu refused to admit that he was born in the Maitreya Sect, no wonder Manager Zhu scolded the Buddha at every turn, it turned out that he was the only successor of Yang Zhu in the world.

And Zhu Chongjiu only used one sentence to make all Liu Bowen's speculations self-defeating.

"Who is Yang Zhu?" Glancing back at Liu Bowen, who was full of panic, he asked very frankly. "I don't read much, I haven't heard of this person..."

"Boom Rumble........." Another burst of thunder rolled overhead, smashing - excellent - excellent - small - said - more - new - most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - Liu Bowen staggered.

"Don't deliberately deceive each other...", staring at Zhu Chongjiu with straight eyes, he roared in a low voice, "The lord can fill in the lyrics, he can compose music, and every article is recited by thousands of mouths." The lord, the lord actually told Liu that he didn't read much. Lord, lord"

In the second half of the sentence, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. The most scoundrel is to pretend to be stupid, if Zhu Chongjiu insists that he has not read a book, and he doesn't know which Yang Zhu is, no one can peel off his stomach and see how much ink is stored in it...

"I really don't know who Yang Zhu is, I didn't mean to deceive each other...", his eyes were round and Liu Bowen stared at each other, and the horizontal flesh on Zhu Chongjiu's face was full of innocence, "In fact, if Confucius and Mencius are two old men, I don't know more than fifty sentences in total." As for Naque's "Qinyuan Spring" and the song "Linjiang Immortal", forget it, I said that I didn't make it, and you don't believe it. But in addition to this word and song, Berwyn also heard me do a third article? ”

"This?" Liu Bowen was speechless. Judging from the daily interactions, the lord of his family really doesn't seem to be a person who can make that word. Although his behavior does not look like a vulgar pig killer, he is the so-called "poet and bookish in his belly". A person who can recite "Qinyuan Spring" will naturally bring some article allusions in his speech, unlike him, which is basically all vernacular, and occasionally brings one or two words that no one understands, which is completely self-made up, and there is no source at all.

"But to say that Zhu doesn't read much is indeed humble..."Glancing at Liu Bowen, who was confused, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "I can only say that the books I read are different from what you read. After you are enlightened, you should focus on the Four Books and the Five Classics, lest you not have a deep understanding of the words of the ancient sages. And Zhu only knows the name of the Four Books and Five Classics, and as for the specific content, I am afraid he has not read a word carefully. ”

But Zhu knew that the earth was as round as a ball, and he knew that there were no gods living in the sky. I know that the moon's circle and lack are just the sun's rays blocked by the earth, and I know that the starry sky is infinite, and the place where you and I live is just a remote corner of it. In terms of specialization in Confucian classics, Zhu is probably not as good as anyone here. In terms of breadth, please forgive Zhu for his false words, if Zhu is the second to be humble, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who can surpass Zhu. ”

Zhu Chongjiu talked eloquently, his face full of pride, "You want a person who has seen the universe and the galaxy with his eyes, and then find the answer from the quotations of the ancient sages when he encounters a question, and then bow down to the words of the ancients, Berwyn, this is too difficult, and it is impossible at all..."

"Boom ........." another burst of muffled thunder rolled through the air, and the lightning kept stretching and shortening Liu Bowen's shadow.

The lord is lying... Instinctively, he wanted to reject every word Zhu Chongjiu said. But there is an intuition in his heart that he is telling him, and what the other party is saying is all the truth. Zhu Chongjiu was unwilling and disdainful of pretending to be a ghost, otherwise, he would not have repeatedly emphasized that he himself was not the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha, let alone take the initiative to cut ties with the White Lotus Sect.

He may not be wise enough, but he is bright enough for his own people, and he never lies to deceive each other. I didn't pretend to be advanced because I didn't understand others.

"I know you don't believe it...", I had already guessed how Liu Bowen would react, Zhu Chongjiu smiled, and a wisp of tenderness welled up on his face, "The first time I heard Zhu say something similar, only one person chose to believe it unconditionally. Because of her fate, she has long been linked to Zhu and is inseparable. But Zhu can prove to you, Berwyn, you are good at mathematics. As far as you can see, Zhu's attainments in mathematics are better than yours? ”

"This, this" As if there was a devil standing in front of him, Liu Bowen involuntarily stepped back. The boundless wind and rain immediately drenched him into a soup chicken again. He didn't feel the coldness of the rain at all, he just looked at Zhu Chongjiu, dumbfounded, without blinking.

Spells... In addition to his knowledge of Cheng Zhuzhi, what he is most proud of is his attainments in mathematics. Tian Yuan, Quaternary, stacking, tricks and other techniques are all involved. But when Ping Su was planning military affairs and deliberations, his mental arithmetic speed could only always be ranked second. No matter how huge the number is, Zhu Chongjiu seems to be able to do mental arithmetic directly, or draw a few strokes on the paper to get the answer. Then it was a long time before the Si Cang soldiers could use their abacus to give the same or similar figures.

It turns out that everyone is used to this, and they feel that their own lord is a talent from God, and they know everything. So although Liu Ji felt curious, he didn't think about it seriously. Today, I was reminded by Zhu Chongjiu personally, and I suddenly discovered that my lord's arithmetic attainments are probably ten times higher than my own. And he is a famous teacher, and he has been concentrating on art for no less than 30 years. His own father-in-law, Zhu Chongjiu, has just turned twenty...

"Don't hide so far, I won't eat you..." Zhu Chongjiu chased after him with a smile, and covered the top of Liu Bowen's head again with an umbrella.

The latter clasped his hands on his shoulders and curled up completely. Not only because of the cold, but also because of the shock in the heart. Zhu Chongjiu didn't lie, he told the truth. He was not only proficient in arithmetic, but also skilled in weaponmaking. Proficient in geography, proficient in astronomy. He even knew what had happened in Europa, thousands of miles away, and had a good conversation with Ivanov. In the Great Food Books of the Central Plains, the same record cannot be found.

"In fact, Zhu has never denied the ancient sages." Seeing that he had shocked Liu Bowen like this, Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said with a little apology: "Zhu remembers that the sage has a saying, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." This is true for learning, and the same is true for governing the country. As long as it is good for others and works, Zhu wants to learn it. Whether it is from barbarians or from China. ”

Raising his other hand to dust off the water stains on Liu Bowen's shoulder, he smiled and continued to add, "Zhu only cares if it will be beneficial to my Huaiyang's development and growth, but he will not consider that it is in line with the words of the sage. Because in Zhu's eyes, the saint was originally humble and shameless to seek advice from hundreds of schools. Because the saint has this self-confidence, after being compatible with the elders of a hundred schools, his knowledge is still self-contained, and he is still straight to the avenue. If Berwyn really wants to carry on the Sacred Learning, he should have this heart. Instead of closing your eyes, covering your ears, and being arrogant... That would only bring shame to the saints, not to be proud of what you are doing today..."

"Boom..."Liu Bowen heard another thunderbolt in his ears, and a flush quickly surged on his face, "Lord, Lordship knows, knows that Weichen is recently, and he has been recently"

A smile quickly surged to the corner of Zhu Chongjiu's mouth, "I know, you are not pretending to be sick, you are sick of your heart." Zhu didn't want to poke it, wait for you to heal slowly. But Berwyn, you didn't give yourself enough time..."

This is the purpose of his catching up today, to keep Liu Bowen and this famous strategist in history, not to show how knowledgeable he is. Liu Bowen is resourceful and decisive, his eyes are like a torch, and he is proficient in the art of war, so he is a very rare staff officer. However, Liu Bowen has a fatal weakness, which is that he loves to drill the horns. It is difficult for this person to get in tune with the staff system of the entire Grand Governor's Mansion, and the role he can play in daily life may be less than one-tenth of his true ability. (Note 1)

"The lord, the micro-minister, the micro-minister is also a person in the forest. Jinshi in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty..."was pierced by Zhu Chongjiu's words, Liu Bowen's face turned even redder, and he arched his hand, struggling to justify.

"How is Master Bilu?" Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him again and asked with a smile.

"It's not as good as the good duke..."Liu Bowen's body trembled slightly, and he responded in a low voice, "The encounter between the minister and the good duke is not the same. ”

Under the same conditions, Liu Bowen only won the Jinshi, but Lu Lu Zeng passed Meng Yuan's example. So of course, he can't say that his knowledge is more advanced than Lu Luzeng. But he is only Zhu Chongjiu's adviser, and Lu Lu was Zhu Chongjiu's elder, and the positions of the two sides are different, so their attitudes towards the same thing will naturally be different.

This explanation is also reasonable, making Zhu Chongjiu smile and nod. But soon, Zhu Chongjiu's second question came through the wind and rain and rushed into Liu Ji's ears like thunder, "What Berwyn has learned is for the welfare of the people, or for the selfish interests of the strategists?" Looking at the world, how many people are there? Gentry geometry? ”

"Of course, it is the well-being of all the people...", and Liu Bowen's voice suddenly turned higher. This is the bottom line of his status as a Confucian disciple, and no one can question it. "It's just that Liu and the princes of the Great Governor's Mansion have different ways, so it's difficult to conspire with each other..."

"What is the Tao?" Zhu Chongjiu's voice also slowly turned higher, looking down at Liu Bowen, his eyes were full of confusion, "Where is your Dao?" Is it to seek the Tao for the well-being of all people, or to defend the way in your heart, and would rather push the people of the world into fire and water? ”

"This?" Liu Bowen was speechless again, not knowing how to answer Zhu Chongjiu's question.

He is a devout disciple of Cheng Zhu, but he will not close his eyes and tell nonsense. The actions of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion are obviously the way of the saints who have long deviated. However, it is an indisputable fact that the people under the rule of the general manager of Huaiyang are getting better and better. If the Grand Governor's Mansion is forced to change course, not to mention whether the Mengyuan Imperial Court can be expelled in the future, he can't even guarantee that the lives of the people will always remain the way they are today, rather than getting worse.

Next, Zhu Chongjiu's words were like thunder, "Zhu seems to have told you that in Zhu's eyes, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or even Cruciform and Mingjiao, they are all just means, not ends." Zhu accepted some of them because they could really make the people's lives better and reorganize the rivers and mountains of China. This is Zhu's ultimate goal. Only when he realized him did Zhu feel that he had not come in vain. Zhu will only choose the means for the sake of the end, not to defend the words of a certain family, and forget his own purpose. Zhu will not let the whole world sacrifice for it in order to defend a certain idea. No matter how perfect it sounds. The price was too great for Zhu to afford. You, Liu Bowen, Zhu, and anyone else in the world are not qualified to let others bear it..."

"Minister, minister, no, that's not what it means..."In the lightning and thunder, Liu Bowen stammered in response, "At first, the minister was also out of public heart. Guan Zhong pursued profit and prospered, and after the death of Uncle Bao of Guan Zhong, Duke Huan was finally victimized by the ministers. The position of overlord was also lost due to the pursuit of profit by the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State. A lesson from the past, a teacher from the future, the lord must not ignore it..."

"Who is the traitor?" Zhu Chongjiu shook his head and asked with a smile, "The whole of the Great Governor's Mansion regards the Jingzhou Alliance as good, but Berwin and Sanyi are the only two who regard it as evil, who should Zhu obey?" If Zhu vetoes the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Mansion, he will accept the words of the two of you. Berwyn, which do you think the traitor will be in the eyes of everyone? ”

"Lord, the lord said this, this said" Liu Bowen was asked and took another half step back, exposing himself to the wind and rain for the third time. He, Zhang Yi, and Lu Kun, who was not very resolute, had a total of three people, but they had to face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. As Zhu Chongjiu, as the main father, it is obvious which side to choose to support. If they try their best to disagree for the sake of the three of them, if it turns out that they have made a wrong choice in the future, the three of them will definitely have a traitorous hat on their backs, and they will never be able to take it off.

"Besides, the disasters of the Qi country all happened after Guan Bao's death..."Zhu Chongjiu took another step after him and blocked Liu Ji's head with an umbrella, "How can his guilt be all on Guan Zhong's head?" Zhu only remembered that the sage had clouds, micro-tube Zhong, and I was sent to the left... But he didn't hear the saint accuse him of killing Duke Huan..."

"But the bane of profit-seeking, after all, was planted by Guan Zhong himself..."Liu Bowen refused to admit defeat lightly, and stubbornly fought to the end.

"If someone stands by Huan Gong's side and reminds him of the root of the bane at any time, will Huan Gong still die a tragic death? The bane is called a bane because it erupts later, not in the present. If someone tries his best to cut it off whenever it shows up, how can it become a bane? Zhu Chongjiu suddenly smiled slightly, and asked with some expectation.

"My lord, what do you mean by this?" Liu Bowen was stunned again when he was asked, and hesitated to ask.

"Stay, stare at it. Remind me all the time of its existence zĂ i... If you insist that it is the bane..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and extended the invitation very frankly. "With Wei Zheng's enmity with the King of Qin, he can still stay by his side and supervise him every day. Between Zhu and you, it seems that the hatred is not so big..."

Note 1: In the official history, Liu Bowen was also quickly marginalized soon after the founding of the Ming Dynasty because of his personality. was poisoned to death by Hu Weiyong, but it was difficult to redress his grievances. It was not until after the fall of Hu Weiyong that the true cause of his death was revealed.
