At this time, Zhao Yigui no longer has the fear of Shengdou Xiaomin seeing power, he only thinks about being able to rescue Mo Zhai at the moment, otherwise he really doesn't have the face to go back to see his father, on the other hand, he respects scholars too much, in the past days, he has always wanted to be able to read, but the conditions do not allow it.

"You said that your brother Mo Zhai was arrested by Steward Liu and put in a prison cell, what did it mean?" Prince Xuan asked Zhao Yigui.

"Lord, that's the case, today Xiaomin and my brother Mo Zhai came to the palace to work for a short time, and the water in the original house has been cleaned up, but Steward Liu asked me and I Mo Zhai to tidy up your study, my brother is also a reader, so he read your book, but Steward Liu came in and called us, and my brother accidentally dropped your book on the ground and got wet. Steward Liu had my brother arrested and imprisoned in the firewood room. Zhao Yigui told everything that happened, he wouldn't lie, let alone lie.

Hearing this, the prince waved his hand and said with a bold smile: "It's just a book, what a trivial matter, just let it go." ”。

I didn't expect the prince to be so generous, Zhao Yigui was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you, Lord Xie." ”

"Can't let go, can't let go." Before Zhao Yigui finished speaking, Steward Liu was holding a book in his hand, rushed forward with a panicked expression, and shouted, "Lord Wang, that Mo Zhai got wet the "Governing Policy" you were going to give to Zhuang Yuanlang, and it was all rotten!" With that, Steward Liu handed the book to the prince.

The prince flipped the "Governing Policy", the bold expression on the prince's face gradually faded, a gloom was raised between his eyebrows, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little depressed. Steward Liu, give him a hard lesson. ”

Zhao Yigui never imagined that things would turn out like this, and the prince would suddenly change his hexagram, so he kept kowtowing and begging the prince for mercy.

The prince looked at Zhao Yigui and said angrily, "If it was another book, I could forgive him, but this is "Governing the Country", and I am ready to give it to Zhuang Yuanlang." This book is very important."

Zhao Yigui is really in trouble with Mo Zhai, and he has no way to do it, only keep kowtowing, in exchange for only the indifference of the prince. It's really not broken. He said tremblingly, "Lord Wang, Mo Zhai said that this book is not good!" ”

Wang Ye looked at Zhao Yigui, "What did you say, he said that this book is not good." What does he know as a grass man?"

"My brother, my brother, he doesn't know how to do it, what he said must be right, he is very knowledgeable." Zhao Yigui has no choice but to be a dead horse doctor.

The prince looked at him contemptuously, "He is very knowledgeable, do you know who is next to me, he is this year's Jinke champion!" Your brother is not worthy to lift his shoes! ”

"I, I, I don't think it's worth it for the champion to lift shoes for my brother," Zhao Yigui said boldly with a heart.

The prince was really angry, pointed at Zhao Yigui and said, "Just your brother, okay, Steward Liu, you bring Mo Zhai up for me, I'll see where he is sacred, and he doesn't even deserve our champion to lift his shoes." ”

Mozi was brought up, and he was still tied up. "You're Mo Zhai? The face is beautiful," the prince looked at Mo Zhai and said.

Mo Zhai looked at the prince and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I am Mo Zhai." ”

"Your brother said that you think my "Statecraft" is not good, so you destroyed it, right?" The prince asked Mo Zhai.

Mo Zhai said, "Don't dare to hide it from the prince, this "Governing the Country" is indeed a rare and good book, but it was accidentally destroyed. Not intentionally"

"If that's the case, then I'm going to punish you, Zhao Yigui, you don't have anything to say," the prince said

"Lord Wang, I, Mo Zhai, am willing to accept punishment, but I don't dare to agree with some of the contents of this "Governing the Country", I have different opinions." Mo Zhai said.

"Okay, then I'll see with Zhuang Yuanlang what kind of ugly thing you can say," said the prince.

Mo Zhai began his opinion, I think, governing the country should revolve around quelling chaos and seeking governance, and building an orderly society. Those who are still virtuous and virtuous in government should be empowered, implement politically enlightened rule, use economically, and pay attention to economic development.

There is a law for those who are engaged in the world. The Son of Heaven, the princes govern the world, and the country must have standards, and the law is the objective basis and standard that can measure all aspects of right and wrong, good and evil. But you can't wronged a good person, and you can't let a bad person go.

Heaven is the master of human society, and the will of "Heaven" is called "Tianzhi" and the ghosts and gods are the messengers of "Heaven", carrying out the mission of rewarding good and punishing evil for "Heaven". The line of heaven is broad and selfless, its generosity is not virtuous, and its brightness is long and not decaying, so the holy king is the law. Since the sky is the law, the action must be spent in the sky. Do what the sky wants, and stop what the sky does not want. But what does heaven want, and what evil does it do? Heaven will want people to love and benefit each other, and not to want people to be evil and thieves. Xi knows that the heavens want people to love and benefit each other, but not to want people to be evil and thieves. With both love and benefit. "Heaven" is symbolic, i.e., morality, universal validity, objectivity, fairness, clarity and permanence.

The prince and Zhuang Yuanlang listened to Mo Zhai's calm and generous rhetoric and greatly appreciated it. The prince hurriedly said, "Come on, hurry up and untie Mr. Mo." ”

After Mo Zhai untied the rope, he continued, "Those who rule the world by the saint must know where the chaos arises, and if they can cure it, they can't cure it if they don't know where the chaos arises." Mozi kept talking about his theories, and even the illiterate Zhao Yigui was impressed by him. Not to mention the prince and the champion.

Zhuangyuanlang walked quickly in front of Mo Zhai and bowed deeply: "In Xia Wei Guangxian, it is the champion of Jinke, and now he can listen to Mr. Mo's words, and he is better than reading for ten years." I am not yet one or two of Mr. Fang Zhi's talents, so I implore Mr. for his advice. ”

The prince also walked in front of Mozi, "Sir, you have the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the unpredictable skills, may I ask where the gentleman came from, and how did he end up like this, and he actually went to this palace to work for a short time." ”

Mo Zhai said, "I have been teaching in my hometown for a few years, but now the taxes are too heavy, and the people in my hometown have fled, so I can only live here and live in my brother Zhao Yigui's house temporarily."

Zhao Yigui had been loosened at this time, and his face was full of admiration. He respects the reader, and admires Mo Zhai even more at the moment.

"If Mr. does not give up, how about Mr. temporarily living in the palace, you are the building material of the country, and I will ensure that you become an official. Your future is bright. If you are an official, sir, this is a blessing for the people," the prince said earnestly.

"The prince thanked me for my good intentions. It's just that I don't have this ambition yet, and now my family is separated and I haven't found it yet. Mo Zhai said.

The prince was reluctant, but said, "Sir, please think carefully, the imperial court needs a talent like you." The court and I are looking forward to it. ”

The prince wants to send some gold and silver and Mo Zhai, and Mo Zhai will give it away for profit and defile his behavior. Mo Zhai and Zhao Yigui left the palace, leaving only the respectful Wei Guangxian and the hopeful prince left.
