Ying Tian.
Chen Hong brought them to Qingtian Bookstore.
"Eunuch, you're here." Shopkeeper Liu came up to greet him.”
"This is my master." Chen Hong pointed at Zhu Biao behind him.”
Master?
Chen Hong had said that he served the Crown Prince, not to mention Shopkeeper Liu had met the Crown Prince before!
He hurriedly walked to the door, hung the closing sign, closed the door, and respectfully knelt down and kowtowed."Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Get up."
"Yes, sir!"
"I came to see you this time because I want to meet Mr. Liao Zhai. I have some questions to ask him face to face."”
"Yes, sir!"
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly tidied his clothes, took out the note that Chen Yong had given him, and walked towards the inn.
Seeing the innkeeper looking for him, the inn's waiter led him into an alley in South City.
"Sir lives in this house!"
He went up to knock on the door.”
"Shopkeeper Liu is here."
Creak.
When the door opened, Zhu Biao and Song Lian were stunned when they saw Chen Yong.
Before they came, they had all planned to be friends of the same generation, but they did not expect that Mr. Liao Zhai was actually so young!
A genius!
"Shopkeeper Liu? Who are they?"
Before Shopkeeper Liu could introduce him, Zhu Biao hurriedly said,"My name is Wang Zibai, and I came from Jiangning County!”
"I have admired you for a long time after seeing Du Shiniang's story of angrily sinking the treasure chest and the peach blossom fan, so I begged Shopkeeper Liu to bring us here.”
Shopkeeper Liu nodded, and Chen Yong opened the door.""Come in."
"Yes!"
The group of people came to the courtyard and saw that there were a few plots of land reclaimed around them. There was a grape rack on top and a stone table below.
There was a main room and two side rooms in front. The furniture was simple and the conditions were simple.
Chen Yong served them a few cups of tea and said,"May I know why the two of you are looking for me?”
"I've read the Peach Blossom Fan several times," said Song Lian."It uses the destruction of the Japanese pirates to express the feeling of rise and fall. It comes from the bottom of my heart and makes people think deeply."”
"That's why I've come to consult you."
"It's just that I didn't expect Mr. Liao Zhai to be so young!”
"I dare not ask for advice. Just ask if you have anything to say."”
"What do you think can be done to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty?" asked Zhu Biao.”
"Impossible!"
"The general trend of the world is that after a long separation, it will unite, and after a long union, it will separate.”
"Why is it natural for them to reconcile after a long separation?" Song Lian asked.”
"Isn't this a little too arbitrary?”
"The scholars of the scholarly faction strive to achieve a world of great harmony. Wouldn't such a natural law go against our ideals?”
"The books of the saints can't be wrong!”
Chen Yong thought for a moment and replied," It's not against the rules. You have to know that there are no absolutes in the world."”
"Eternal Great Unity is difficult to achieve, but temporary Great Unity can be achieved.”
Forever... a moment
The first sentence made Song Lian fall into deep thought.
"You have to know that there is nothing in this world that can be done in a moment.”
"Everything is gradual. They will follow a certain law and spiral up!”
" When the old system is broken, many tragedies will happen in the process of rebuilding it. This is the reason for division.”
" But in the midst of these tragedies, new life has been born and is gradually taking root!”
"When he becomes a towering tree, a new mature system will be born. He has absorbed the essence of the past and has a lot of innovation!”
"From the three dukes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty to the six departments of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty to the two mansions and three yamen of the Song Dynasty! It's always like this."
" However, he still has certain limitations. Later, he will gradually collapse and be replaced by a new system!”
"The true Great Unity is elusive, and we need to fight for it!”
"A short period of Great Unity can be achieved as long as we look at the present.”
Song Lian suddenly understood. Under Zhu Biao's horrified gaze, he stood up and bowed like a disciple."I accept your teachings."
"I wouldn't dare!"
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Biao asked.”
"To put it bluntly, everything in the world is human affairs.”
"Just like this peach blossom fan, if the Jiangling Marquis didn't recommend his son to exterminate the pirates, it naturally wouldn't have happened.”
"Therefore, the key to governing the world lies in governing people.”
"It's a pity that the students today are poor. If they were to preach the scriptures, they would be able to speak clearly and logically.”
"When faced with complicated regulations, they won't put in the effort to study them. If asked, answer that this is not the work of scholars, but the work of handymen!”
"It's ridiculous to aim too high!"
"I remember that during the court examinations in the third year of Hongwu, the Emperor set a question and asked people to identify the five grains in the hall. Those famous students from eastern Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jiangnan were all stunned speechless!”
"With their abilities, it is already difficult for the Ming Dynasty to achieve a short period of long-term stability, let alone rule the world and Great Harmony!”
Zhu Biao couldn't refute because those students had indeed suffered a crushing defeat in the court examinations in the third year of Hongwu!
In the sixth year of Hongwu, the court examinations were like this again. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he directly stopped the imperial examinations!
Even though six years had passed, it could be seen from Li Jiayan and Donglou that they had not improved much.
"How do we break it?" Song Lian asked. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Only by seeking truth from facts and applying it to the world!”
