This letter written in the name of Master Confucius can be regarded as the cooperation between Zhu Yiyuan and Song Lian, he came up with an idea, Song Lian wrote it, and then Zhu Yiyuan thought that what he wrote was too literary and crepe, so he asked him to change the vernacular.

Song Lian also readily agreed, and there were no extra words.

This has always been a high-minded celebrity of the Restoration Society, Zhu Yiyuan, who is ten years younger than himself, obeys his words, if his father Song Jicheng sees it, he will be amazed.

And it all started with an incident that happened when I first entered the door.

Song Lian came over to inquire about Zhu Yiyuan's next move to see how they cooperated.

Because he was in a hurry and sweating, Song Lian was thirsty, so he casually said to a little guy in the house: "Go, pour me a cup of tea." ”

After he commanded, the little fellow remained motionless, his eyelids rolled up, as if he had not heard.

Song Lian couldn't help but laugh, "What a big temper? If you are such a little girl, are you not afraid that Zhu Gongzi will not want you? Song Lian just said it, but he didn't take it seriously, he got up to pour tea by himself.

At this time, the little guy glanced at him, then carried the kettle, poured him a cup of tea, and then handed it to Song Lian and said, "Please use it." ”

Song Lian didn't say anything, and was about to drink it.

At this moment, the little guy suddenly said: "Although Mr. has read books, he doesn't know how to be polite." ”

Song Lian felt more and more funny, "Boy, why don't I know how to be polite? Tell me about it, I'll listen to you. ”

The little guy just smiled faintly and said, "You call me that, it's just rude." ”

Song Lian still wanted to ask, but at this time, Zhu Yiyuan came in from outside, holding a few notices in his hand, and handed them to the little guy.

"Wang Huan, please send it to a few villages, one for each village, it's about harvesting grain, go and come back quickly, don't delay."

Wang Huan happily took it, ran as soon as he took a step, didn't go out a few steps, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped again, turned his head and said to Song Lian: "Look, I just said that some people don't know how to be polite!" ”

After saying this, the little guy ran away.

Song Lian's eyes widened in astonishment, and Zhu Yiyuan also frowned slightly, "This is?" ”

Song Lian was a little embarrassed, but he still told what had just happened, and Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help laughing after listening to it, "This kid has a good memory." ”

Song Lian said curiously: "Master Zhu, can you tell me how you taught him?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded and said: "This kid's name is Wang Huan, and he made a meritorious service a few days ago, so I asked him to come over and be a messenger for me." He was born in a poor family, and he used to herd sheep for the landlord, and he had an older sister in the family who worked as a maid in the landlord's house. When he came, he brought all the clothes that served the people, served tea and poured water, and stood respectfully beside him, and I said a few words to him. ”

Song Lian was stunned, this is also normal, there are a bunch of servants in his house, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I told him that we are soldiers, and we are talking about the same officers and soldiers. There is no difference between high and low positions, high and low. I asked him to come over, he is a member of the rebel army, not anyone's servant, and no one needs to yell at him. Be polite, especially when meeting for the first time. Let someone else do something, you have to use it, you have to be tired, you have been helped, you have to say thank you and so on. For each one, we must be neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous. ”

After Zhu Yiyuan finished speaking, Song Lian was shocked, speechless for a long time, and said slowly helplessly: "So, I am indeed rude, I am really ashamed." ”

Then he was puzzled: "Zhu Gongzi, can you tell me why this is the case, is it really wrong to respect and inferiorize these things?" It is true that Confucianism in the past dynasties paid attention to etiquette, but it was also not enough to punish doctors, and it was not inferior to courtesy. What kind of etiquette do you talk about when dealing with ordinary people? ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "That's true, it's just that there is dignity and humility, how can you expect the people to sincerely support and fight against the Qing Dynasty together?" ”

"This?" Song Lian muttered: "It has always been like this in the past dynasties, to provoke loyalty to the people, to reward them with money and silk, and to reward and punish clearly, that is." ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has lost the two capitals, how is it different from the death of the country?" How useful can the word loyalty be? As for money, rewards and punishments? You have to have money to reward, and power to punish! ”

Song Lian was surprised, "Master Zhu, you say that loyalty and righteousness don't work, and rewards and punishments don't work." So how do you contend with the Qing court, and how do you restore the hearts of the people and restore the mountains and rivers? ”

Zhu Yiyuan smiled undiminished and asked, "Mr. Xiao Song reads a lot, so he naturally understands the unity of the world, right?" ”

Song Lian smiled: "This is something I can memorize when I am five years old, how can I not know?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "I thought that the world was just a yearning for a better life...... The literati of all dynasties have discussed it, and Mr. Xiao Song knows it better than me. Isn't it enough for us to win the hearts and minds of the people with a better life, a fairer and more reasonable family and country? ”

Zhu Yiyuan sighed: "Since the late Wanli period, the government has collapsed, party disputes have arisen, natural and man-made disasters have occurred, and the people have struggled to make a living. So much so that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others took action, and the Central Plains became the hell of Shura. There are also eight banners of Tartars, detaining Shenzhou and wantonly slaughtering...... All kinds of hardships have fallen on the people, and it is difficult for the people's livelihood to survive. Seeking to live, to survive, to be fed, to be clothed, isn't this the voice of hundreds of millions of people in the world? ”

"Since ancient times, those who pay attention to winning the hearts of the people win the world, is this path wrong?"

Zhu Yiyuan asked with a smile.

Song Lian was dumbfounded, and after coming, although he had a few words with Zhu Yiyuan, there was no doubt that this time was the most in-depth and shocking.

In this worst of the world, the most beautiful pursuits are pouring out.

The world is evil, and I am the only good.

The whole world will kill, and I am the only one who lives.

After this step, how can the people not support it?

Song Lian seemed to be suddenly, no wonder Zhu Yiyuan would spend a lot of effort to persuade Grandma Han, would teach Wang Huan not to be humble or arrogant, and would not look down on the Kong family......

"Zhu Gongzi, what you said is right, and I can't say anything. It's just that those who start well are really complicated, and those who end are widowed! ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao Song is right, but I don't know if Mr. Xiao Song is willing to be a witness?" ”

Song Lian hesitated a little, clenched his fists and said: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

should be accepted, Song Lian didn't ask his father how he was, anyway, he took on the work of Zhu Yiyuan's paperwork, and he participated in the drafting of the letter publicity for the Kong family.

It is said that scholars rebelled, and it was not possible for three years.

But without the rebellion of scholars, it will not work either.

Just like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they just didn't get the assistance of excellent scholars, and they couldn't establish their own bases, like duckweed, they could only run around and act as rogues.

In the end, they were defeated.

Zhu Yiyuan also dealt with these people, and only then did he really realize the energy of these readers, and one of their articles, Shilin Chuan, a point of view, could soon spread everywhere.

Zhao Shizhe wrote a letter to the Confucian Mansion, asking them to cherish the people and not to collect more land endowments, and Shandong Shilin agreed in unison.

The content written by Song Lian is even more spicy and satirical, and the speed of transmission is faster than that of Zhao Shizhe, especially in various parts of Yanzhou, the scholars who can't stand the oppression of the Confucian family have used this as a basis to encourage the people to boycott the land rent of the Confucian family.

The wind and waves that Zhu Yiyuan wanted finally got up.

"Master Zhu, I just received the news that the Confucian Mansion sent a family member to Xintai." Song Lian hurriedly told Zhu Yiyuan.

"Xintai?" Zhu Yiyuan frowned, "Xintai is next to Laiwu, and it is also the place where the most resisting land rent, and the Kong family will definitely take Xintai." They put their claws out, which had to be cut off. However, our soldiers and horses have created a hurry, and if we want to attack the city hundreds of miles away, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult. ”

Song Lian smiled slightly, "Zhu Gongzi, what if Xintai's county order can take the initiative to open the city?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned, "Could it be?" ”

Song Lian said happily: "Now the magistrate of Xintai is called Zhu Guang, he was originally the governor of Jining, and originally wanted His Majesty Hongguang to send troops north to Shandong, but the reinforcements did not arrive, and he was isolated and helpless, so he could only surrender to the governor Fang Dayou. Fang Dayou appeased Jining and other places, and threw Zhu Guang to Xintaidang County Order. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed, "In this way, I want to ask Mr. Xiao Song to contact Zhu Guang." ”

Song Lian said: "No need, Old Song has already gone." ”
