"Are you guys done?"
Zhu Xiong Ying sneered as he looked at the kneeling officials behind him.
"The Confucians emphasize benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.”
"Are the Confucians reasonable?"
This was not because Zhu Xiongying wanted to label the Confucians.
Instead, it was these people in front of him who kept shouting Confucianism.
But he never did what a great scholar should do.
They were the ones who embezzled and took bribes, and they were the ones who shouted Confucianism.
Confucianism had been ruined by them.
Back then, Old Master Kong's Confucianism was completely different.
Seeing that they didn't dare to turn back, Zhu Xiongying walked up to Shao Zhi.
The eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying was standing at the same height as Shao Zhi.
"Sir Shao, this prince would like to ask if Confucianism is reasonable?”
Zhu Xiong Ying asked Shao Zhi with a smile.
Shao Zhi snorted coldly and replied,
"Why not?"
"Then let's have a good talk."
"Let's start with the first thing," Zhu Xiongying said.
You said that I beat Zhu Yunwen in Fengtian Palace, you should ask Zhu Yunwen if he should be beaten?
Do you know why I hit him?"
"I don't know. I only know that it's wrong to beat people up in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.”
Shao Zhi was still stubborn.
In fact, he really did not know the cause of this matter.
He had only heard about it through hearsay.
Since he wanted a copy of the Ginseng Emperor's grandson, he might as well add in all these hearsay.
However, he did not expect that there was more to it.
His preconceived notions made him think that Zhu Xiong Ying was arrogant and domineering in the Fengtian Palace Hall and had beaten Zhu Yunwen.
That was all.
"The scholarly faction has always revered the word 'courtesy'."
"There is also the logic of an elder brother being like a father."
"As Zhu Yunwen's elder brother, Zhu Yunwen made a mistake.
I'll teach him a lesson in my father's place,
What's wrong?"
"But…"
Shao Zhi wanted to retort.
But before he could say anything, Zhu Xiongying continued,
"But what? But you rebels, do you need to meddle in the Zhu family's affairs?”
"There are so many corrupt officials in the court. As the Minister of Rites, why don't you take care of them?”
"Don't you care about those people under you?”
"You're meddling in other people's family affairs? Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhu Xiongying turned his head and approached Shao Zhi.
This last sentence almost broke Shao Zhi's defense.
Yes,
What right do you have to interfere in other people's family affairs?
"But Your Highness is the eldest grandson of the Emperor. The matters of the Imperial Family are the matters of the world. Your Highness also needs to be respectful.”
Shao Zhi continued to be stubborn.
"Good! You can ask my grandfather if I did anything wrong in beating up Zhu Yunwen.”
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now, the pressure was on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang would stand on Zhu Xiongying's side.
"Yun Wen was indeed wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Xiongying's words."That's right."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Xiongying.
Because Zhu Xiongying didn't tell him what Zhu Yunwen said at his bedside.
As the saying goes, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. Even in the imperial family, it was the same principle.
Shao Zhi wanted to argue, but Zhu Xiongying stopped him.
"Grandfather has already said that this prince did not do anything wrong. Does Lord Shao still have anything to say?”
"Could it be that Lord Shao is more powerful than our grandfather?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
Was this the etiquette of the Confucians?
Sir Shao, is this how Confucianism teaches you?”
The entire Imperial Court, especially those kneeling.
Their scalps went numb.
Zhu Xiongying's words were logical.
Moreover, he had seized the right time to speak, not giving Shao Zhi a chance to refute at all.
In this round, Shao Zhi was completely defeated.
He couldn't win against Zhu Xiongying at all.
"Let's talk about how Lord Lu and Lord Shao left in anger.”
"There has never been a first in ancient prose, nor a second in martial arts," said Zhu Xiongying.
It is your business to respect Confucianism.
I also respect Confucianism.
But everyone had their own understanding.
Could it be that the two lords thought that their understanding of Confucianism was correct?
Can't I have a different opinion?
In my Great Ming Dynasty, the two of you actually want to have a one-man rule.
Where should I put Ming? Where do you think our Imperial Grandfather is?"
He praised her again.
Shao Zhi felt his scalp go numb.
After the Hu Weiyong case, everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to give too much power to the ministers.
Now, Zhu Xiongying had given them the label of 'one man's speech'.
How could they not be anxious?
After saying this, the system in Zhu Xiongying's mind started to increase his mischievousness.
Congratulations, Host. You have received 800 naughty points from Shao Zhi.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 600 mischievous points from Li Shanzhang.
Congratulations, you have received 500 mischievous points from Lu Ben.
……
Zhu Xiongying's words left Shao Zhi speechless!
"Your Highness, I have two more things to discuss with you.”
After Shao Zhi finished speaking, the Imperial Censorate's Zhang Shen kneeled and turned around.
"Three months ago, the Empress was seriously ill. Your Highness forcefully barged in and almost caused a disaster. Do you admit to this?”
Zhu Xiongying didn't want to bother with these people.
Especially the Imperial Censorate.
He was simply a mad dog.
He bit whoever he caught.
Zhu Xiongying did not reply to him, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Grandfather, did your grandson do anything wrong that day?”
The emperor was already the best method to deal with the Imperial Censorate.
"Let's not discuss this matter anymore. If it wasn't for our good grandson, the Empress would probably be dead already.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were unquestionable.
However, the contents of these words shocked all the officials in the court.
The empress was actually saved by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?
They had never heard of this matter before!
Of course, this was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's blockade of the news.
The ministers in the court only heard a few words, but they never heard the true story.
Zhang Shen didn't hesitate.
Since this was not possible, then he would change to another one.
"Then change the imperial garden into farmland. The imperial garden is a garden that my Da Ming spent a lot of money to build.
However, His Highness had turned two-thirds of the imperial garden into farmland.
Wasting the palace treasury silver.
How does Your Highness explain this?"
Zhang Shen was neither servile nor overbearing, and even his expression did not change.
Was this the martial arts that censors had to practice?
But Zhu Xiongying was speechless. He couldn't even be bothered to explain to Zhang Shen.
He looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne.
Let Old Zhu explain himself.
"This matter was approved by Zhen."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shen."Zhen used the silver of the palace treasury.
I'll get a piece of land for my eldest grandson to grow one.
Anyone else has any objections?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was very serious, giving these ministers a lot of pressure.
It's fine if we use the silver from the national treasury.
But I used the silver of the palace treasury.
He could use it however he wanted!
"This subject withdraws the impeachment of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.”
Zhang Shen didn't hesitate.
After figuring out these two things, he didn't say anything else.
Instead, he continued to kneel quietly.
At this moment, Lee Shan Chang, who had been silent for a long time, finally could not sit still anymore.
"Your Highness, you're changing the concept."
Lee Shan Chang said leisurely,""Confucianism has a history of more than a thousand years.
The Confucianism that had been interpreted by countless people was probably very close to what the sages wanted to express.
Was His Highness right?”
Lee Shan Chang could not sit still when he saw Shao Zhi being humiliated.
If this first attack failed, it would be difficult to get His Majesty to punish Zhu Xiongying!
"Isn't this the Duke of Korea?"
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and walked from Shao Zhi to Li Shan Chang.
Li Shan Zhang's status was much higher than Shao Zhi's.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying still stood beside him, standing straight, completely unconcerned about the other party's status as a Duke.
"Duke Han, your grandson Li Mao's pig head is better now, right?”
The strength of the taunt was directly pulled to the maximum!
Lee Shan Chang had cursed Zhu Xiong Ying a thousand times in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.
After all, the other party was the eldest grandson of the emperor.
He had contacted the officials these few days to consult Zhu Xiong Ying.
It was because his grandson was beaten up.
And now, the other party actually dared to mock him?
"Humph!"
"Then I'll be bold enough to ask Your Highness."
His Highness beat up my grandson, Li Mao, at the entrance of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
Li Mao lay in bed for four days before he could get up.
Even though she could get up now, her entire body was still aching.”
He laid his cards on the table!
Lee Shan Chang originally wanted to find a loophole in Zhu Xiong Ying's Confucianism.
But now, there was no need for that!
He directly stated his purpose.
The officials of the imperial court instantly exploded.
They began to whisper and discuss.
Zhu Xiongying was the one who suppressed this matter from the start.
Because he didn't want things to get out of hand and cause the Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, to lose face.
Therefore, there were still many officials in the court who did not know.
But now that Li Shan Chang had taken the initiative to expose it, Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief.
You don't want face?
Then just wait to be embarrassed!
Li Shan Chang was looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying's expression did not change. He was not afraid at all.
"I only hate that I was too gentle when I hit Li Mao!”
Zhu Xiongying's words caused an uproar in the court.
His Royal Highness the eldest grandson beat someone up at the entrance of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, but he actually knew his mistake and did not change.
He even said that he was too gentle!
"Let me ask Lord Zhang Shen, what crime is it to insult the imperial grandson?”
His voice was so loud that everyone in the imperial court could hear it clearly!
