Chapter Twenty-Three: Death for the Ming Dynasty

"Enter the palace as the master of the Ming Sect."

Under the rain curtain, Fang Xiaoru, who was holding a book under his armpit and holding firewood in his arms, only felt that the young man outside must be dizzy.

He looked up at the courtyard wall, the young man in the rain and fog did not hold an umbrella, followed by a guard, a few strands of rain-filled hair hung down in front of his forehead, and his eyes were looking at him sincerely.

It must be the noble son of a certain family, who is idle and has nothing to do, and begins to amuse the ordinary people again.

Fang Xiaoru put the water-soaked firewood in his arms and the book under his armpit to the place under the porch to shelter from the rain, and then carried an umbrella to the courtyard wall, and handed the umbrella outside the wall with his hand high.

"This little boy, it's humid on a rainy day, don't stay outside."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly showed a wry smile, staring at Fang Xiaoru holding an umbrella in his hand rather strangely.

Sun Cheng, who was following him, turned pale, and said in a low voice: "Sir, this is the grandson of Emperor Daming, the king of Yunxi County!" ”

Fang Xiaoru paused with the hand holding the umbrella, and then under Sun Cheng's gaze, he did not show a happy and excited expression as he imagined, let alone immediately open the courtyard door and invite them in.

I saw that Fang Xiaoru's face sank and snorted coldly.

The umbrella that had been handed out of the courtyard wall earlier was also taken back by him and held open on his head.

"You!"

Sun Cheng was suddenly angry, and he opened his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Zhu Yunxi on the side.

He looked at Fang Xiaoru who was standing under the umbrella with a cold face, and thought about it in his heart, and knew that this ...... Stubborn gentleman, he must have heard about Huang Zicheng being driven to Kaipingwei in Xuanfu Town.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and then spoke: "Mr. Xizhi is annoyed by the fact that Huang Zicheng, the former Taichang Siqing and the companion of the East Palace, was belittled by the imperial grandfather and went straight to Xuanfu Town?" ”

Xizhi is the word of Fang Xiaoru.

Zhu Yunxi made this move to come to study in the rain today, in order to include Fang Xiaoru in his entrainment, and he said that he was angry and did not hide it.

Dealing with people like Fang Xiaoru, telling lies and making polite things is far better than showing integrity.

Fang Xiaoru obviously didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi would cut into the topic so bluntly.

He still snorted dissatisfiedly: "Before, the grass people didn't know that His Highness came, and there were many offenses, so I asked the county king for forgiveness." The grass people have no talent and no virtue, and it is difficult to take on the big responsibility, for fear of ignorance of the clan. The king of the county asked for the head of the industry, but the grass people did not dare to take over, and asked the king of the county to invite another master. ”

It's also a straightforward refusal.

Fang Xiaoru did not leave any room for Zhu Yunxi.

As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the house.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi immediately spoke: "Mr. Xizhi! For the Daming Society, for the people of the world, students invite Mr. to enter the palace to teach! ”

"Huang Zicheng's matter, students can explain!"

Well?

Fang Xiaoru stopped, turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was still drenched in rain outside the courtyard wall.

He was not because of what Zhu Yunxi said about the Ming Society and the people of the world, he just wanted to know why Huang Zicheng was teaching in the East Palace, but the good ones were relegated to Xuanfu Town.

So far, there has not been a formal explanation in the imperial court.

Fang Xiaoru held an umbrella, stood behind the courtyard wall with a straight face and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Please also ask the county king to exonerate the grass people." ”

This is pedantic...... Or it is a common problem of upright and old-fashioned people.

Just like Fang Xiaoru in the end, he was willing to risk his life to disobey Zhu Di for the sake of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty in his mind, and finally ended up destroying the ten clans.

There is no doubt about the nobility of such a person's conduct.

But if you have bad intentions, you can easily grasp it.

It's obvious.

The current Zhu Yunxi is the person with bad thoughts.

No matter how old-fashioned and pedantic Fang Xiaoru is, he doesn't understand people's feelings. But as a scholar, even now that he has a reputation in Shilin, he must have the ambition to be loyal to the Son of Heaven and contribute to the people of the world.

However, Zhu Yunxi was no longer in a hurry to explain, but raised his head with a wry smile, and then looked at the closed courtyard door: "Mr. Xizhi, are you going to have a rain?" ”

At this time, hearing this, Fang Xiaoru's face showed embarrassment, but he still kept a straight face and didn't say a word. It's just that he has already taken a step, opened the courtyard door, and let Zhu Yunxi in.

When Fang Xiaoru led Zhu Yunxi into the front porch of the house, he stopped and looked back at Zhu Yunxi.

I still don't want to invite myself into the house.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the tea soup in the room that had been boiling several times, and smiled: "Mr. Xizhi's talent, students often hear about it, and they are even more eager for it. When I met Mr. today, I felt that it was Mr. Only then did I have the idea of inviting Mr. into the palace to teach. ”

Fang Xiaoru's face was dark, he let Zhu Yunxi in, he didn't want to hear him say this: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, why were Taichang Siqing and Donggong Companion relegated to Xuanfu Town?" ”

This man can't listen to good words?

Zhu Yunxi retracted the smile on his face, his eyebrows froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Because Huang Zicheng is not a good minister, His Majesty ordered him to go to Xuanfu Town to reflect on his body, and the day he wakes up, it will be the time to return to the court and grant a high position!" ”

Whether Huang Zicheng can respond to Tiancheng one day, Zhu Yunxi doesn't know.

But Fang Xiaoru in front of him must be won.

When Fang Xiaoru heard Zhu Yunxi say that Huang Zicheng was not a good minister, he couldn't help but be full of anger, but his excellent cultivation made him maintain restraint, and asked in a low voice: "Why did His Royal Highness the King of the County say this." ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Fang Xiaoru.

The homework I have prepared in the past few days can finally be put to use.

I only heard him speak: "Mr. is a famous man and a talented person, and his "Wu Shi" used Zhang Shicheng to ridicule the court and the world to listen to and believe in it, and to use it to make friends with scoundrels and oppose exaggeration. This time, the article is hot and cold, and the article is written in the form of God, and the students have reread it many times and remember it in their hearts. ”

Zhu Yunxi was boastful, and his head was Dao, but it was shocking that Fang Xiaoru was shocked in his heart.

The "Wu Shi" was indeed written by himself, and it was widely spread, but he never thought that the royal grandson of the Ming Dynasty had also read it, and even expressed the thoughts he wanted to express accurately.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru finally put away the indignation in his heart, and looked at Zhu Yunxi, who had never reached the crown.

Is this still the rumored grandson of the Ming Emperor who is introverted and has a cowardly personality?

This is, see Zhu Yunxi continued: "Mr. has written other articles such as "Metaphor", "Nose Pair", "Mosquito Pair", etc., which are strict in selecting talents, digging deep, and pure and majestic. Vertical and horizontal, quite in and out of the east slope, between Longchuan. ”

"Every time students read it, they only feel that Mr. should be the great talent of the country, the sage of the society, and the luck of the world."

Such various narratives and judgments have already shocked Fang Xiaoru's heart, no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't know that the royal grandson of the clan in front of him is so familiar with his own articles.

The judgment between Dongpo and Longchuan made him feel a little ashamed, mixed with joy.

However, at this time, Zhu Yunxi changed his words: "However, the talent of Mr. is not the talent of the world's scholars, and the talent of Mr. is the body of Mr." And that Huang Zicheng, although he is also a Confucian disciple, learned from Hanlin first, but his words and deeds are very different from Mr. ”

"Mr. is a person who has learned and put it into practice, and that Huang Zicheng has read a piece of paper."

"The students secretly thought that in front of the national society, Huang Zicheng could turn his back on the teachings of the sages."

"But if Mr. one day, facing the social turmoil, he should be able to die for the Ming Dynasty!"

At this time, Fang Xiaoru had been deaf and dizzy by Zhu Yunxi's series of sugar-coated shells, and when he heard Zhu Yunxi's judgment that he could die for Daming Sheji, he felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

Just calmed down, Fang Xiaoru became more and more suspicious, and he couldn't understand it.

He tried his best to control the urge to drag Zhu Yunxi into the house and talk about the article for a long time, suppressed his emotions and asked for the last time: "Please also ask Your Highness to exonerate, then...... What did Huang Zicheng do? ”
