After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Sun Yan's head lowered before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything.
This Liu Bowen really did not want to live anymore.
Who was Zhu Yuanzhang? As soon as Liu Bowen spoke, he understood what Liu Bowen meant.
Let Liu Bowen come and see if I'm a wise ruler and if Biao Er can be his student.
He came and refused to sit down. This was to show his attitude to us. He came to see our Zhu Yuanzhang.
He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was not a wise ruler who could be assisted by Liu Bowen.
He wanted to see if Zhu Biao was qualified to be his student.
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger.
"Sun Yan!"
"Wei Zai!"
Sun Yan bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Bring Mister Liu to the prince's residence to see the prince!”
"Yes, sir!"
Sun Yan hurriedly brought Liu Bowen out.
He could hear that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to fly into a rage.
If he didn't run quickly, he would be in trouble!
After Liu Bowen left, Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the teacup on the table into pieces.
"You Liu Bowen!"
In the Crown Prince's residence, Zhu Biao and Song Lian were in their own " laboratory ", proving the existence of " Qi ".
"Prince, Lord Sun Yan has brought Mister Liu from Qingtian.”
Ruyi pushed open the door and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.
"Hmm? Quickly invite Mr. Liu in!"
After Ruyi brought Liu Bowen into the house, he left the house and closed the door.
"Student Zhu Biao greets Mr. Liu.”
Zhu Biao bowed respectfully to Liu Bowen.
As Zhu Biao raised his head, the first thought that came to Liu Bowen's mind was…
"How can there be such a person in this world?"
Then, another sentence appeared in his mind.
"Is this really Zhu Yuanzhang's son?”
In Liu Bowen's original imagination, Zhu Biao's legendary rumors were probably spread by Zhu Yuanzhang.
No matter how powerful he was, he was just like his son.
In the beginning, Liu Bowen was very disdainful of Zhu Yuanzhang showing off his son in the letter.
Because he, Liu Bowen, also had a good son. His son, Liu Lian, was also a well-known genius, alright?
His understanding of Zhu Biao was limited to his son.
When his son was six or seven years old, many people praised him for his politeness.
However, the moment he saw Zhu Biao…
The son he was so proud of was nothing.
Just from the appearance alone, Zhu Yuanzhang's son was much better than his own son.
Although he could vaguely see the shadow of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying in his facial features, it seemed that his facial features had been infinitely beautified. He was simply too perfect to be human!
Especially her temperament, Liu Bowen really couldn't describe it.
That is, not a mortal
Even Liu Bowen was faintly suspicious. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang's propaganda of the birth of Zhu Biao, the son of the emperor, surrounded by nine dragons, was not just a random boast to create momentum for himself, but was actually true?
The Confucians all paid attention to Heaven's Perception.
Zhu Biao's otherworldly temperament instantly made Liu Bowen's impression of Zhu Biao rise a lot.
Liu Bowen stepped forward, helped Zhu Biao up, and bowed respectfully to him.
"I'm Liu Bowen, I don't deserve such a big bow from the prince.”
"Bowen, may I ask the prince, does the prince think that qi is divided into yin and yang? Because of the difference between good and evil?"
In the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, there were two theories about the origin of the world.
One was Justice.
Everything in the world was made up of heavenly principles. After heavenly principles came everything else.
The method humans used to understand Justice was to study and understand things.
This theory did not seem to have any problems, but at the same time, there was a huge problem.
There was no way to put it into practice, and no one could succeed in understanding things.
No one could prove that this justice really existed.
The other theory was the "Vital Qi" theory.
Everything in the world was made up of qi, and qi was divided into good and evil.
The so-called evil qi entering the body, to a large extent, meant that you had inhaled some bad qi and your body was injured.
Furthermore, this theory referred to men as being composed of Yang Qi, while women were composed of Yin Qi.
A woman's Yin energy needed a man's Yang energy to balance it out. This was another way to explain the status of men.
This theory did not sound like a problem, but he was facing the same theory as the previous one.
If he was so angry, then where was he angry?
You said that evil energy entered the body. Who saw it?
This kind of thing that could not be seen or touched was also scoffed at by many people.
Therefore, these two theories each had a group of supporters, and the supporters of the two theories were almost beaten up.
What Liu Bowen asked Zhu Biao was one of his important academic views. He was a firm vitality theory.
What he had always wanted to do was to separate good and evil.
In his opinion, Zhu Biao was Song Lian's student, and Song Lian supported both statements.
Zhu Biao understood what he meant.
If Zhu Biao really didn't understand, then he could go home.
Of course, although Liu Bowen raised this problem, he did not expect Zhu Biao to solve it for him. He had been studying it for so many years, but he still couldn't confirm it. What could a seven-year-old kid like Zhu Biao do?
He was just testing whether Zhu Biao was qualified to be his student.
Hearing Liu Bowen's question, Song Lian and the other two looked at each other. In the end, Song Lian stepped forward on their behalf.
"Liu Bowen, did you know that the prince was going to bring us to do a test today?”
It was no wonder that Song Lian and the other two would think so. He had just entered the laboratory with the prince when Liu Bowen came.
This was too much of a coincidence.
Song Lian and Liu Bowen were about the same age and were both great scholars from eastern Zhejiang. Of course, they were very familiar with each other.
It could even be said that their relationship was quite good.
After Song Lian finished speaking, Liu Bowen saw Song Lian and the others. He had no choice but to look at Zhu Biao.
After the four of them greeted each other, Liu Bowen answered Song Lian.
"I just happened to be visiting the prince's residence today. I wonder what proof the prince and the others want to prove?”
"We gathered here today to prove the theory of vitality that the prince and I discovered.”
"The world is made up of vital qi. Even what we breathe in is vital qi. Vital qi is just a natural object. Naturally, there was no good or evil, no distinction between good and evil.”
"Then may I ask the prince."
Of course, Liu Bowen couldn't believe this completely overthrowing his own point of view. He asked Zhu Biao bluntly.
"If what the prince said is true, then why are there saints in the world and evil people in the world?”
"The students think that it's just because of education. If the parents were kind and the environment was simple and optimistic, the child would be kind. If the parents were vicious and the environment was tough, the child would also become a villain. That was why Mencius 'mother moved three times.”
Zhu Biao used the theory of education to refute Liu Bowen's question.
Liu Bowen was still not convinced.
"Then if I dare to say it again, why do people have or have happy things? Wasn't this determined by vitality?？”
"Of course, this is just the impermanence of life. Everything is decided by the heavens and has nothing to do with vitality.”
This question was even simpler. Why did people have misfortune and fortune? Of course, it was because life was impermanent.
"It seems that the prince's knowledge is unique!”
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Liu Bowen admitted that Zhu Biao was indeed worthy of what Song Lian said about Confucius and Mencius being alive. After all, it was indeed impressive to be able to form a family at such a young age.
However, Zhu Biao's answer could be said to have completely overturned Liu Bowen's belief for so many years. It would be strange if he was satisfied.
