"Sir, you are really ......" Zhu Biao hurriedly helped Song Lian to the chair and asked him to sit down. Among the many teachers, he respects Song Lian and Song Master Song the most, seeing Song Lian wearing a thin cloth shirt and a pair of tattered cloth shoes, he must have relied on a pair of feet to come here step by step, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Seeing that the prince is benevolent and virtuous, Song Lian is also relieved in his heart. In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhu Su's face with awkwardness, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. He arched his hand and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, the old minister is courageous, and I want to ask the Fifth Highness in private if I have something to say." ”

"Ah, okay." Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Then, I'll go to the study and wait for Mr. first. Fifth brother, if the gentleman has an entrustment, you must not disobey! As he spoke, he glared at Zhu Su.

What else can Zhu Su do? I could only nod helplessly. When Zhu Biao left with the others, Zhu Su sighed and said to Song Lian: "Mr. Song, my father has allowed me not to study in the main hall. ”

"You didn't want to arrest me to go back to study, did you?"

Song Lian didn't answer, a pair of old eyes looked straight at Zhu Su, and Zhu Su was slightly furious in his heart. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, Chrysostom Yuyan." Although the old man is a mediocre man in the mountains and fields, he also understands the father and son of the monarch, how dare he disobey? ”

"It's just that I just discovered Your Highness that you have the gift of heaven, but you can't teach you well, and I feel regret and fear in my heart. If you waste your Royal Highness's talent and make you a Ming Zhongyong, isn't the old man a sinner in the future generations of my Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Su secretly rolled his eyes. You are Zhongyong, and your whole family is Zhongyong.

Song Lian was still staring at Zhu Su, with self-blame and pity in his eyes that could not be concealed. "I only blame myself for being mortal with my naked eyes, and I don't know good materials. At first, His Royal Highness was silent, but I was just a child. Later, you made that 'sloppy talk', and because you were angry that you were messing around, you didn't care about you and didn't ask you much questions. ”

"When I wake up, I have made you abandon the old man, and I begged Your Majesty to get out of my door. Hey, this is all the old man's own sin, and he has lost the trust between you and me and his master and apprentice, and he can't complain about others. ”

Zhu Su didn't expect him to think like this, so he was stunned.

"Although His Royal Highness doesn't want to see the old man, no matter what, please listen to the old man's last words." Song Lian raised his old eyes, and his face was extremely solemn. "You were born in the royal family, and in the future, you will definitely guard the pastoral side and be the king of the other party."

"Although it is not as heavy as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are thousands of people who are tied to you."

"Although you don't look down on Confucianism, but the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, faith, and righteousness of the family and the country must not be abandoned. Ordinary people don't understand this, but the disaster is for a township, and the vassal king doesn't understand this, but he wants to harm a country. I was born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and I have seen too many tragedies caused by the selfishness and immorality of those in power......"

The old man didn't know what he thought, and shook his head miserably.

"Alas. I was going to slowly teach him, with your talents, and the brotherhood and friendship with the prince, it may not be impossible to become a good story like King Wu of Zhou and Gongdan of Zhou. If you can teach a pair of wise kings, the people of Heshan will be safe for a hundred years, and the old man will be blind when he dies. It's a pity ......"

With a tear of regret on his face, he slowly put his hand into his robe, took out a book, and said with a forced smile: "I'm old, I'm talking about it, but I've forgotten to get down to business." This "Analects", there are some superficial insights and notes that the old man has gained in his life, although His Royal Highness does not like science, he also hopes not to despise Confucianism. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and faith, especially must not be forgotten. ”

"If you are willing to look through one or two in your spare time, it can be regarded as a complete friendship between you and me."

Zhu Su nodded and took it, flipped through it slightly, and saw that the book was full of fly-headed letters, the text was plain and easy to understand, and it did not quote scriptures, and it was not as profound as Zhu Zi's commentary. And most of what he said directly refers to the heart of Confucianism, and tells the truth pursued by Confucianism from a very simple place. Obviously, this is a textbook specially written by Song Lian for Zhu Su.

I also saw that the small block ink color was still bright, and it was obviously newly written. I really don't know where this Song master had to teach in the main hall during the day, and he was old and dizzy, so he had the time and energy to write this thick book of "Notes on the Analects".

"The book has arrived, and it is time for the old man to go back. Prince Lao waited in the study for a long time, and asked His Royal Highness Fifth to confess for the old man. Song Lian said, then stood up and gave Zhu Su a slight salute.

Before Zhu Su, he looked down on this old gentleman who only knew everything, but at this moment, for some reason, the hand holding the book was a little trembling,

I didn't know what to say, but two words popped out of my throat: "Sir......"

"Your Highness is still willing to call me sir, and the old man can be regarded as a big stone in his heart." Song Lian said with a smile, his face no longer had the rigidity and seriousness that he used to teach him to read, only a strong sense of loneliness.

His lips twitched for a while, as if he was hesitating to say more, thought about it, and finally opened his mouth: "I hope that His Royal Highness can make a living for the common people in the future, and always have great ambitions in his heart, so as to live up to this day." ”

Then he bowed again, and went straight out of the door.

Zhu Su only felt like a head drink, stunned and didn't know what to think, and when he reacted, he hurriedly went out to see him off, the old gentleman had already walked away, leaving only a slightly old, but still straight back like a pine.

"That's what it is...... Confucianism. For some reason, in Zhu Su's mind, he suddenly remembered Prime Minister Song Shiwen's "Song of Righteousness".

[When the poor festival is seen, one by one. 】

remembered that it was recorded in the history books that Song Lian was summoned by the Yuan Court several times, but he couldn't shirk it. I don't enjoy the wealth and glory, but I retreat into the remote mountains. In the name of cultivation, he only devoted himself to collecting all kinds of Chinese classics and devoted himself to writing books and sayings.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him to teach Zhu Biao to read, but he came thousands of miles away.

In his life, he may also be using his own methods to fight against the hellish troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he has tried his best to cultivate a benevolent Zhu Biao, so that the troubled times will not reappear in the world.

In history, although there is no strong name, he is willing to pass on this wisp of Confucian righteousness to China when Shenzhou is sinking.

"Such a big responsibility, why do you want to tell me......" Zhu Su opened the book with a wry smile, only to feel that the fly-headed small letters on this book were all heavy. I just want to be an idle king who eats and waits for death......"

"Well, if you have time, let's take a serious look." Seeing that Song Lian's figure was gone, Zhu Su smiled to himself, turned around and entered the prince's mansion.

……

The next day, the west courtyard of the prince's mansion.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother." The sun has been on the third pole, but it was the prince Zhu Biao who led one person and walked in happily. "Look, who's looking for you?"

"Huh? Fifth brother? ”

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I was stunned. I saw a huge rocking chair, and Zhu Su snored repeatedly. A copy of the Analects was hidden over his face, just in time to shade him.

"What a lazy thing, I'm still asleep at what time. The Analects are the words of the sages, and they are so bad. Zhu Biao scolded with a smile and put the book aside.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" There was a sudden light in front of him, and Zhu Su reluctantly woke up. In fact, he got up in the morning because he wanted to learn from those diligent students and read in the morning. Who knew that this "Commentary on the Analects" was also very hypnotic, and after reading only two lines, my eyelids sank.

Obviously, I just got up to sleep......

"Don't get up yet. Look, who is this? Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Zhu Su rubbed his misty eyes, and saw that behind Zhu Biao, a handsome young man with a tall figure was looking at him with doting.

"Ahh Brother Mu Ying! Zhu Su said in surprise.
