Chapter 5 Fifty boards each

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at Yang Zhen much at all, but just motioned to the eunuch to carry Yang Zhen out and said, "Song Qing, you are an old minister." I have always been very satisfied with you, but He Xi is right, as a teacher, you can't just rely on strictness, but also have the benevolence of a parent. Otherwise, how can we educate our children? ”

Yang Zhen was frivolous and deserved to be punished. How can you take people's lives because of small affairs? ”

In Song Ne's heart, 10,000 were not convinced.

In modern parlance, Song Ne was a fanatical follower of Confucianism. It is not permissible for anyone to say that Confucianism is bad. Not to mention denigrating Confucius and Mencius. Naturally, he could not tolerate it. This is also related to the current era, Confucianism was dealt a major blow in the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, it was only in the last few decades of the Yuan Dynasty that it recovered a little vitality.

In Song Ne's view, now is the autumn of the intermittent survival of Shengxue, especially the attitude that the emperor vaguely shows. He was even more anxious. The more anxious you are, the more you will not allow anyone to rebel.

It's just that he is not convinced in his heart, and he doesn't dare to speak in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment. He could only say: "The minister knows his mistake. ”

"And you." Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded and said: "I let you go to the past to gain knowledge. Your ass isn't hot yet. interfered with the affairs of the national prison without authorization. Don't respect the chief, don't apologize to Song Qing quickly. ”

When He Xi punished Yang Zhen by Zhu Yuanzhang, he already knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

It's nothing more than playing fifty boards each, making a fool of things.

He Xi is quite satisfied with this result. At least Yang Zhen's life was saved.

He Xi immediately said: "The minister knows that he is wrong. He Xi immediately turned around, saluted Song Ne and said, "Xiaguan is young and vigorous, and he is high-spirited. If you offend an adult, please forgive me. ”

Song Ne's heart. It's like eating a fly. But there is still decency. He had a cold look on his face and said, "It's okay. Then he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, He Xi is a young talent, working in the Ministry of Industry, and the minister also knows." It's just that he is not suitable for Guozijian. Guozijian is a well-educated person, which one is not a rich man. He Xi's Linjiang Immortal, although it is good, but it is a small road. The talent of Qi Ji cannot be used in the sea. The minister thought that it was better to let Lord He have another appointment. This is good for Lord He, and it is also good for Guozijian. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Not bad. Master Song is a world-famous teacher. I also made it clear that He Xi, this child, I want to cultivate well. Please also ask Master Song to give a good mention or two. ”

Song Ne said: "But -----"

Song Ne can't tolerate anything.

He Xi was arrogant, but he didn't care. Anyway, he taught the noble children a lesson, and also broke several ring rulers. Many noble children, how to mix outside, but in front of Song Ne, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

These noble sons are arrogant and domineering, and they are the real young and frivolous. If you learn a good lesson, you can get it back.

But who is He Xi?

Have a lot of chickens next door? How could a beggar ever have a second wife? At that time, there was Zhou Tianzi, what did they say about Wei Qi? People who can write such limerick poems are simply bad-hearted. There is no corrigory, and it must be punished with less righteousness.

It's just that the identity dictates it, and it can't be killed.

and also bring him to the prison. Can't let him flow poison endlessly in the country.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't allow Song Ne to speak at all, and raised his hand and said, "Okay." So be it. Although it is not explicitly stated, the body language has already indicated: You kneel down.

Song Ne naturally understood that he seemed to have been frozen for a while. After a while, he said, "The minister is retiring." ”

When He Xi saw Song Ne like this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he was a little ridiculed.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Song Ne to withdraw, and said, "And you, He Wanzhi." That's how you do things? ”

He Xi is not very accustomed to the word Bangzhi. He was slightly stunned before he reacted. Immediately said: "Erchen knows his mistake. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold face: "What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

He Xi said: "When Erchen arrived at the Guozijian, he should have kept a low profile and should not be so public. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You also know. So why do you do it? ”

He Xi said: "Yang Zhen is also a life. ”

He Xi's answer made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned, to be honest, the lives outlined by Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were not 100,000 but 80,000. A human life is not in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. Just played fifty boards each, it is not that Zhu Yuanzhang has any compassion for Yang Zhen. It is purely between Song Ne and He Xi and the mud.

If it was beneficial to him, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to add countless lives.

It seems that in the years of conquest, Zhu Yuanzhang has already hardened his heart. He loves the people of the Ming Dynasty, but he has no feelings for a specific person.

He Xi saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, and said: "Father, the son and son are six hundred years later, but ordinary people, parents at home, have never been an official and a half-position, I have really seen many things, when I ask for heaven and earth, and when the earth is not spiritual." Although it is not myself, I also feel it. ”

"Later generations have said that when you are in a high position, you should treat others as human beings. When you are in a low position, you have to treat yourself as a human being. ”

"Yang Zhen is a life after all."

"There's a lot of this kind of thing. There were no unjustly killed ghosts in that temple. Do things first in the overall situation, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He Xi said: "Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, a generation of heroes, left a legacy for his descendants, but don't take small goodness and don't do it with small evil. ”

"You said I was wrong." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

He Xi said: "Erchen doesn't dare. It's just that there are rules in troubled times, and there are rules and regulations for governing the world. Naturally, you have to be cautious, and then you have more options. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly in his heart: "Maybe I'm really wrong." ”

I don't know, how. During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang always thought of the past.

I think of the days when he didn't participate in the rebel army before he was twenty-four years old, the death of his parents, the family couldn't even find a cemetery, and the days when he was uprooted and tired of dogs. He is now in his fifties, and the days before the age of twenty-four took up a small part of his life.

He knows the bitterness at the bottom.

Especially the feeling of helplessness when you are trampled in a mud puddle. He also knows.

Of course, he knows that everything has to be solved by himself, and it is useless to expect others, whether it is the so-called nobles or the gods and Buddhas. But he sometimes couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like if someone had helped him.

"Hey." Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "The older you get, the softer your heart becomes, you shouldn't be big." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind only moved in his heart, and he said lightly: "Your words are like Confucianism." ”

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, Confucianism has long penetrated into the blood of the people of the world. Now, in order to develop the productive forces, it is necessary to adjust Confucianism. But it is impossible to destroy Confucianism. The minister didn't dare to think about it. Your Majesty can also see me as a Confucian outlier. Also among the Confucian gates. ”

This is the conclusion He Xi came to during this period of time.

Yes, the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Confucianism, and the Confucian inheritance was greatly affected. There are many schools of thought that have not been passed down and can only be seen in the pile of old papers. However, from the Han family's exclusive respect for Confucianism to the present, almost Confucianism is equivalent to academics. Between the two, it's almost inseparable.

Unless He Xi can say that Zhu Yuanzhang can learn from Qin Shi Huang and come to a book burning pit Confucianism, it will be difficult to shake the political status of Confucianism.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You finally understand the deep meaning of letting you go to Guozijian." ”

He Xi said; "The son is stupid, so I still ask my father for advice."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The general trend of the world is mighty, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die." These words are so true. I thought that I was just an ordinary beggar at the beginning, and I had the world for more than 20 years, didn't I just conform to the general trend of the world. What is the general trend of the world, is not the people's desire to survive. The meaning of the scholar is blocked. That's where we are today. ”

"It's just that now, the situation is different. You know, what's the difference? ”

He Xi said: "In the fifteenth year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the world was initially decided, and in His Majesty's view, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived. The Doctor already has the image of ease, and the Lord has the heart to follow it. As for the people, no matter what they want, they will not be able to go up to the court. ”
