Zheng Jingxue has a father who is an official, and he was also recommended to study in Guozijian, and his talent is definitely there.

The quality of the article, just by looking at it, you can basically see the good and bad. It's like some laypeople looking at a big girl on the road, and they know whether they are beautiful or not!

I saw that he quickly picked up the papers in front of him and immediately read them: "Disciple rules, sage training." The first filial piety, the second letter ......"

Zheng Jingxue's expression was very serious, almost reading word by word, as if he was reading a sage classic.

In the middle of this, when he read the next page and felt that something was wrong, he immediately turned to the other pages, found what he thought was satisfactory, and then continued reading.

After he read it all, he couldn't help but pat the paper and praise: "Good article, good article!" ”

Subsequently, Zheng Jingxue had doubts again.

In terms of handwriting, this is definitely written by Zhang Yifan, and there will be no mistakes.

However, such a good article, a long three-character rhyme, easy to understand, and expounding the content of the "Analects", could it be Zhang Yifan's originality?

But if it wasn't written by Zhang Yifan, who would have written it?

Zheng Jingxue has been here for a while, and he knows Liujia Village and knows that there is not even a social science here, not to mention that there are any books. Even if Zhang Yifan copied someone else's, who could copy it?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but think about Zhang Yifan's words and deeds again.

Speaking of which, after dealing with this Zhang Yifan for a long time, it really made him more and more unable to understand Zhang Yifan.

Let's say that Zhang Yifan is uneducated, many of the remarks he said are very reasonable, and he sees things very thoroughly, even better than Zheng Jingxue himself; It can be said that he is knowledgeable, but that's not it, he doesn't even know a lot of words!

Call him stupid, so many words, you can quickly recognize him; It can be said that he is smart, and he has been writing with a brush for so long, but he can't reach what he expected!

In short, this Zhang Yifan is really fascinating!

However, there is one thing, Zheng Jingxue can guarantee, that is, this article, he has never seen or heard of it. Basically, it is certain that it was definitely not written by a famous Confucian saint.

Looking at the stack of papers in his hand, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Could it be that I taught him the Analects before, and then he wrote it according to the needs of his own enlightenment?" ”

The doubts in his heart, Zheng Jingxue wanted to have an answer, so he took the stack of paper downstairs, asked the guards, and went out to ask the villagers, and then found that Zhang Yifan actually went up the mountain, it is said that he went to catch pheasants.

This made him speechless, and after thinking about it, he felt that this article should not be anyone else except Zhang Yifan.

Because this house was always guarded by the guards of King Yan, and no outsiders were seen; There were also guards who accompanied Zhang Yifan out, and I didn't hear who he went to discuss with him.

Zheng Jingxue thought about this, and couldn't help but think of his own things again.

On King Yan's side, with his disappointment with Zhang Yifan, he has slowly stopped paying attention to Zhang Yifan's studies, so when King Yan promised Zheng Jingxue to teach Zhang Yifan a heavy reward, he did not settle down.

But at this time, Zheng Jingxue saw hope again. If you dedicate this article, maybe King Yan will be overjoyed, and he will be rewarded!

Thinking about the letter from home, he finally hesitated for a moment, and then didn't wait for Zhang Yifan to come back to confirm, and rushed back to the city directly.

Zheng Jingxue saw King Yan in the school field, and what made him a little disappointed was that after King Yan looked at the stack of papers, he still said dissatisfiedly: "Looking at it, there is no growth at all, you are still like a treasure?" ”

"No, Your Highness!" Zheng Jingxue only at this time, he remembered that the knowledge level of His Royal Highness King Yan was also average, and he couldn't see the benefits of this article at all, so he hurriedly explained, "This three-character rhyme is the essence of the "Analects", and it can be said that it explains the "Analects" in easy-to-understand words, and summarizes the etiquette norms that people should have when they are at home and out, treating people, receiving things, dealing with the world, and studying, which is one of the best articles for enlightenment." In the student's opinion, this article should be comparable to "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic"! ”

What kind of status "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic" are, Zhu Di still knows. Because, when he heard it, he was surprised, and asked a little incredulously: "You said that after he learned it himself, he wrote an enlightenment article that can be similar to the "Three Character Classic"? ”

"The student hasn't asked him for final confirmation, but it's almost certain that he should be the one who has no doubt." Zheng Jingxue said, and then explained his basis.

Not to mention, Zhu Di came into contact with Zhang Yifan earlier than Zheng Jingxue, and he understands Zhang Yifan's strange words and deeds better.

A simple example is the statement of what microorganisms are. Although he didn't believe it, he ordered in the army that all boiled water must be drunk, not to mention, there were many fewer things like sickness and diarrhea in the army.

Hearing that Zheng Jingxue was praising the goodness of this article again, Zhu Di was suspicious, so he said to him: "You wait here, I'll find someone to see how good this article is?" If it is really as you said, there is naturally your credit in this, and I will definitely reward you! ”

After finishing speaking, he took the article and ran to the East Palace.

Among the people Zhu Di is familiar with, only his eldest brother has the highest knowledge. Since this article can be compared with "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic", then he can't see it, his eldest brother must be able to see it.

If you can confirm this matter, let the sister-in-law tell the eldest sister by the way, which can be regarded as telling the eldest sister a good news.

Zhu Biao's side, when he heard that Zhu Di had taken an article and asked him to appreciate it, he was immediately very interested.

Most of his younger brothers like to dance with guns and sticks, and don't like to read and write, including his fourth brother. What kind of article is that, so that this fourth brother can be used for his own appreciation?

With such curiosity, Zhu Biao put down other things to meet Zhu Di, took a look, and immediately looked up to Zhu Di unhappily and said: "Such an ugly word, was it written by that Zhang Yifan?" His article, what's there to see? ”

"It's not about reading words, reading articles, reading articles!" Zhu Di listened and hurriedly reminded.

He didn't want to dwell too much on Zhang Yifan's words, because he had experience, and he would talk about what he wrote. Because his handwriting is better than Zhang Yifan's handwriting, it is no better than there!

Zhu Biao listened, so he had to reluctantly bow his head to read the content of the article.

As a result, I was immediately attracted. Turning page after page, his expression was extremely serious.

When Zhu Di saw it, he immediately understood, it is estimated that Zheng Jingxue was not wrong, this is indeed a good article!

finally waited for Zhu Biao to finish reading it, and when Zhu Di was about to ask how it was, he heard Zhu Biao say first: "This article, I want to take it to my father immediately!" Are you going or not? ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.

Even if this article is really comparable to "Thousand Character Text", "Three Character Classic" and the like, in the final analysis, it is only an article for enlightenment, as for such an exaggeration, as soon as you read it, you have to show it to your father immediately?

Seeing Zhu Biao's posture, he was a little scared, and hurriedly reminded: "This has not been finally confirmed whether Zhang Yifan wrote it himself!" ”

"It's not important!" Zhu Biao had already stood up and was about to leave at this time, "Are you going?" Are you afraid that your father will ask you about your studies, so you don't dare to go? ”

Don't say it, Zhu Di is really a little afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will ask him about the article!

Zhu Biao knew his younger brother and guessed it, so he walked out and said to Zhu Di: "Then you go back first, I will send someone to tell you what happens in the future!" ”

Watching Zhu Biao run away, Zhu Di was a little speechless.

He definitely didn't expect such a drama beforehand, and he felt that the eldest brother seemed to be too exaggerated. As for it?

Actually, it's true.

There are various reasons, others are not clear, but Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, is the most clear.

No, as soon as he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately asked happily: "Father, how do you read this article?" ”

Seeing Zhu Biao so happy, Zhu Yuanzhang was also strange. This son of his own has always been the calmest of all sons, what article makes him happy to be like this?

Thinking so, he put down the piece in his hand and took the stack of paper handed by Zhu Biao's hands.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang just saw those words, and immediately like Zhu Biao at the beginning, he was immediately dissatisfied, and looked up and said to Zhu Biao: "This Zhang Yifan can write something, can you read it?" ”

Anyway, among the words he has seen, except for his sons, Zhang Yifan's words are the ugliest, and he can tell at a glance that he wrote them.

"No, father, look at the content of the article!" Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly reminded, "Erchen read this article, it can be set as a must-read article for Ming school children!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally became serious and looked down.

Sure enough, after he finished reading it, he was also surprised and said, "Yes, it's really good!" ”

If you want to say how wonderful this article is, it is absolutely not!

The most important thing about this article is that it is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang needs!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually still in a period of confusion. There is no conclusive conclusion as to what the Ming Dynasty regards as orthodoxy.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he advocated Buddhism, named Zhang Tianshi, and also promoted Confucianism. Like what:

In February of the first year of Hongwu, he sent people to Qufu to sacrifice Kong. But in the previous New Year, he ordered the establishment of the Good World Temple, and led the national Buddhist affairs with Hui Tan, a monk of Baoning Temple, a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River.

In order to promote Buddhism, Zhu Yuanzhang also personally organized people and horses, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to proofread, annotate, and publish Buddhist classics. In the fifth year of Hongwu, he ordered the famous monks of the Quartet to proofread the "Tibetan Scriptures" and so on.

Also in the first year of Hongwu, he ordered the establishment of the Xuanjiao Institute, with the Taoist priest Jing Shanyue as the real person, and the general leader of the national Taoist affairs. He issued many orders to protect Taoism, and allocated the palace to view the land, exempt from taxes, grain, and servitude. He also personally wrote the two volumes of the "Imperial Note Tao Te Ching" and the "Biography of the Immortals of Zhou Dian", which were widely published, and often ordered Taoist priests to hold various Taoist ceremonies and so on.

By this time in the ninth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was actually a bit biased towards using Confucianism to educate the people of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao knew this, so he quickly sent it to him to show him if he had obtained a treasure for "Disciple Rules".
