Following!

Early morning!

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, after the heavy dew at night, in the early morning, the humidity is very large, with a cool breeze.

However, at this time, the two sides of the strait were already crowded with people.

These are all students from all over the world, and they are afraid that they will not be able to grab the position, so they arrived in advance.

Some idle people also wanted to come over and join in the fun, which caused the crowds to be crowded and crowded.

The prisoners of the country are also here.

Xu Miao took the lead, walked in the front, and also squeezed into the front.

He looked at the more than two hundred junior disciples behind him, and said with a faint smile: "Senior disciples, let's wait for his Dao heart to collapse, and then go up to reject him." ”

"Okay." The juniors and disciples were excited.

They have seen many old acquaintances here, and this time, Guozijian is about to become famous all over the world again.

The five Confucians who were defeated before also took their respective students to stand on both sides of the strait to watch, because of their identity as Confucians, so the students were also very respectful and gave up a very wide position.

In the Hanlin Academy, Yu Xuekui also brought the great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy, including Chen Xun.

The little red dress also came, followed by two Tie Hanhan, and the shopkeeper of the Shen family, who were cheering for Zhu Chen.

Xu Lao also finally came, he staggered and walked to the small pavilion on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Sitting down in the small pavilion, Xu Xu closed his eyes slightly and waited for Zhu Chen.

In my ears, I heard the voices of the students worshipping.

"Meet Mr. Xu."

"Meet Mr. Xu."

For a time, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, more than half of the students bowed down, and the shouts were endless.

They were full of respect for Xu Lao.

This is Xu Lao's reputation.

As for Zhu Chen, he walked into the crowd with the old man.

Ji Gang squeezed hard in front to make way for the two of them.

After Ji Gang was sweating profusely, the two of them finally squeezed to the front.

Looking at the white-haired old man in the center of the small pavilion by the river, Zhu Di patted Zhu Chen's shoulder: "Stinky boy, distinguish well, if you can distinguish him, then you will really give me a long face." ”

Zhu Di felt that there was little hope, but it was also an encouragement to his grandson.

Zhu Chen grinned: "Okay, old man, you wait." ”

With that, Zhu Chen walked quickly towards the small pavilion.

Today, it is destined to be a feast for Yingtianfu.

Zhu Chen walked briskly towards the small pavilion.

On both sides of the strait, voices quickly came.

"Look, everyone, it's that show up."

"I heard that he was the head of this hospital exam, but why didn't he think about it."

"It's good to be educated by Xu Lao, we don't have this opportunity yet."

With the appearance of Zhu Chen, the atmosphere of the scene rose to the extreme.

The students on both sides of the strait are boiling, and they are all looking forward to Xu Lao's identification!

When Zhu Chen walked to the small pavilion, he looked at the gray-haired old man, and arched his hand: "Old Xu, the student is here." ”

In front of Taidou, Zhu Chen didn't dare to exaggerate.

Xu Lao was wearing a plain Confucian robe and a Confucian hat today, and smiled kindly: "It's good to come, sit down." ”

Zhu Chen bowed his head and sat down opposite him.

Old Xu raised his head, looked at Zhu Chen, and said with a smile: "Little brother, today's debate topic is up to you." ”

Zhu Chen thought for a while: "Today's debate topic is that there is no question. ”

Xu Lao was slightly surprised: "Do you want to play freely?" ”

Zhu Chen smiled: "Is it okay?" ”

Xu Lao bowed his head: "It's okay." ”

Free play, which is more difficult than having a debate, is actually disadvantageous to Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen took a deep breath, looked at the countless people on both sides of the strait, and said solemnly: "Old Xu, do you want to change your mistakes?" ”

Xu Lao bowed his head: "The sages said: Knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." ”

Zhu Chen laughed, almost roaring: "Then why did the Ming Dynasty make mistakes again and again?" ”

In a word, stir up a thousand waves.

Countless scholars on both sides of the strait suddenly changed their complexions.

This is Ying Tianfu, this is Jingshi, but this Xiucai actually said such a rebellious thing in such a place, is this looking for death?

The prisoners of the Guozi Prison all turned pale one after another.

Xu Miao said solemnly: "Bloody!" After he is defeated, we should come forward and refuse more ruthlessly. ”

His words won the unanimous approval of his junior and disciples.

The old man's face sank.

Ji Gang's heart was shocked, the two Tie Hanhan were stupid, and Yu Xuekui was shocked.

The little red dress looked a little anxious.

The five Confucians who rushed here also showed a thoughtful expression.

Everyone knows the seriousness of this sentence, and only Xie Jin admires it with a face full of appreciation: "Well said, why should the Ming Dynasty be wrong again and again!" ”

is worthy of being his student of Xie Jin, bloody!

is worthy of being the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty!

Xie Jin was looking forward to Taisun's performance.

Xu Xu was also stunned by this, but after all, he was a master of science, and he did not waver much: "What is wrong with Da Ming?" ”

Zhu Chen was categorical and firm: "Why don't you change the business tax?" ”

Xu Xu didn't think twice: "When Grandpa Tai founded the Ming Dynasty, he set up a tax law, how to change it?" How can Taizu's law be changed? ”

"Then you still keep saying that you are thinking about the people of the world, and you are a master of science, are you thinking about the people like this?" Zhu Chen said in a deep voice.

This group of rotten Confucians, everything is good, they just rest on their laurels and do everything according to the rules, which is really annoying!

It is precisely because of this that the cancer of the Ming Dynasty cannot be eliminated for a long time.

Zhu Chen continued: "You know that changing the commercial tax can reduce the agricultural tax and make the world prosperous, but you can't disobey the orders of your ancestors for the people, what do you call thinking about the people?" ”

"Because you value honor, you are afraid that if you disobey, you will be ruined! Therefore, no one dares to set this precedent, and can only let the people continue to suffer this pain. ”

"What kind of bullshit are you? The people respect scholars and give preferential treatment everywhere, but what did you do for them after you became a great Confucian? ”

"Is this what you call science?"

When the words fell, Xu Xu was stunned again.

He was not angry, and at his age he was rarely angry.

Instead, he began to think carefully about Zhu Chen's words.

Xu Xu's knowledge is very deep, and he will not fail to understand what the heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce brought to the Ming Dynasty.

Even, this shortcoming, he is clearer than Zhu Chen!

Xu Xu sighed and said, "I do know it, but can the law of the ancestors be changed?" ”

Zhu Chen said with a smile: "Why can't you change it, the reason is nothing more than people's hearts, everything is from the heart, knowledge and action are one, and the heart learns, since you know, you have to do it." ”

"Otherwise, what is the difference between you and those rotten Confucians who only read the books of the sages and do not listen to what is going on outside the window?"

Xu Xu's heart was not shaken.

His face was still peaceful: "The unity of knowledge and action is a good point of view, but Zhu Zi has a precept: Three outlines and five constants, don't disobey it?" ”

"How can a minister offend a king?"

"Father and son, father and son, there is a father and there is a son, how dare the son not obey the father?"

"Teacher, Ta Ye, if the teacher is wrong, can the disciple refute it in public?"

"In the same way, the law of the ancestors is immutable, and change will lead to unknown chaos."

"Three outlines and five constants, save heavenly principles and destroy people's desires, if everything is done by heart, won't it mess up the rules?"

Xu Xu muttered, word by word, sentence by sentence.

The pale old man sat in the pavilion with his eyes slightly closed, his back bent a little, and if he hadn't spoken up, he would have looked like he was asleep.

On both sides of the river, along the river, those students suddenly shook their hearts and listened to it as if they were fascinated.

Yes, they hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and hurriedly recorded it with their hands and feet, as if they were afraid of missing a sentence.

How rare is a Confucian lecture?

And this Xu Lao, who is stronger than the Great Confucian, is a giant of Yingtian!

If you can understand the only words in it, how beneficial will it be to the imperial examination?

Chrysostom said nothing more than that.
