"Record everything down. Don't miss a single word!”
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,
"Tomorrow, we will spread the King of Wei's words and let the people of Yingtian Prefecture hear it. Let the scholars of the world see it! This was the thinking of my son, my son's brilliant theory!”
"Song Lian!"
Old Zhu was in a good mood. He turned to look at the old scholar, Song Lian.
At this moment, Song Lian was still in shock!
He was a great scholar, so he was naturally more susceptible to the influence of the Righteousness Qi. Zhu Lin's theory of good and evil coupled with the Righteousness Qi had completely stunned him!
It was only when Old Zhu shouted that he woke up from a dream.
"Your…Your Majesty!"
Song Lian cupped his hands.
"What do you think of our Lin 'er's argument?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly,
"To be able to leave a legacy for hundreds of generations and convince all the scholars in the world?”
Song Lian nodded repeatedly.
"Yes!"
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in an extremely certain tone,
"A body that is neither good nor disgusting. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, doing good and getting rid of evil is investigating things!”
"Just these four sentences are enough to shock the world! This old official felt ashamed. When he heard the King of Wei's words just now, his entire body actually trembled, and he suddenly had the heart to prostrate himself in worship!”
"Presumably, all the learned people in the world will be the same as this old minister!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in satisfaction, grinning from ear to ear.
"Brat! You really have something in your stomach!"
He slapped Zhu Lin's head and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha…Father wronged you just now. Father apologizes to you!”
Zhu Lin rolled his eyes.
"Don't be fake. If you want to come, come with something practical! Otherwise, how can I soothe my wounded heart?”
He touched his butt and said unhappily,
"I'm still in pain! You have to give me benefits!"
"Alright, alright, alright. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! You are now the literary star of our Zhu family!”Old Zhu was overjoyed and agreed generously.
Even Song Lian had the heart to worship Zhu Lin's theory of good and evil.
What would the world think?
He could not wait for the world to worship Old Zhu's Saint Child!
"Your Highness, I've been thinking about it for quite a while, but I'm still a bit confused about the word 'conscience'. It seems to be somewhat similar to what Teacher Meng said, but it also seems to be two different things.”
Song Lian cupped his hands at Zhu Lin and asked,
"Your Highness, please explain in detail what conscience is.”
This posture of his was actually the posture of a junior seeking advice from an elder!
At the same time, Zhu Di also cupped his hands and bowed.
"Seventh brother, I also have the same doubts."
"It's still the same question. Do evil people have a conscience? If he had a conscience, why would he do evil?”
Zhu Lin glanced at them and nodded with a smile.
"Everyone is confused by empty talk. That's why Mencius likes to give examples. However, some of his examples are too taken for granted and unrealistic.”
He said loudly,
"I'll do an experiment for everyone! True knowledge comes from practice!"
"But this experiment requires Father's help.”
Zhu Lin looked at Old Zhu.
"Just say it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said domineeringly,
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask. Father will give you a full set of equipment! Also, your every word and action will be recorded!”
Oh no, our son is going to pass on his teachings and enlighten us!
"Then let's go to the imperial prison and find a vicious death row prisoner.”
Zhu Lin nodded and said,
"And I need to have the right to control the fate of this prisoner on death row. In other words, I can let him live.”
"Can I?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
"What's so difficult about that? Yes, yes, absolutely!" He readily agreed. "Let's go to the imperial prison! All of you!"
With that order, everyone followed Zhu Lin and Zhu Yuanzhang and headed towards the prison of the Ministry of Justice!
……
Hualala.
The heavy lock of a cell was unlocked, and a prisoner with disheveled hair sat inside.
"This person is a great thief named Li Biao. He has committed all kinds of crimes.”
Zhu Biao introduced,
"Just now, the head of the Ministry of Justice told me that when this person was captured, he was still killing innocent people and gouging out people's hearts to drink.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
"Such a criminal should be beheaded!" He shouted in a low voice.
Old Zhu's words caused Li Biao to raise his head slightly.
"What? Is it my time to die?"
He laughed.
"Didn't you say that you would be given a full meal before you die? You even gave me wine."
"Where's my wine? Hurry up and bring it over! Drink it and go on your way!"
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists.
This bastard actually dared to be so arrogant!
With his personality, he would have directly pulled out his saber and slashed him!
However, Zhu Lin was the leader today. He could only look at his son.
"No, we are not here to announce your death sentence.”
Zhu Lin slowly stepped forward, looked down at him, and said with a smile,
"We're here to do an experiment."
"Our experiment is to see if a vicious and insane person like you still has a conscience in your heart.”
Li Biao was stunned for a moment before he grinned.
"Ha, haha, hahahaha…"
He laughed wantonly, his expression incomparably mocking.
"Conscience? Do I have a conscience?"
"Hahaha…Maybe the people I ate before have it in their hearts! But I didn't seem to become a good person.”
"Perhaps, if I eat a few more, there will be? Why don't you let me out and let me try?”
Zhu Biao's expression changed.
"Don't be so arrogant!" he ordered.
"Tsk." Li Biao didn't care about Zhu Biao's order at all. Instead, he used the mud wall behind him to rub his back.
Zhu Lin saw all of this, but he was not the slightest bit annoyed.
"Let you out?"
He rubbed his chin and said,
"It's not impossible."
"I can spare your death sentence and let you out.”
Li Biao's pupils constricted, but he immediately relaxed.
"You little kid, can your words work?”He sneered." Don't tease me. Go somewhere cool!”
Zhu Lin smiled.
"I am the current King of Wei, of course my words are useful.”
He raised his hand and said,
"Men, remove the shackles on his body!”
Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm and did not move.
He had said earlier that everything would be arranged by Zhu Lin. Even if this kid wanted to release the condemned prisoners, he would not stop him.
Two jailers stepped forward and swiftly removed Li Biao's shackles.
In an instant, the great thief regained his freedom.
And at this moment, the gaze he looked at Zhu Lin with finally lost a bit of ridicule.
This little doll in front of him seemed to have the ability to let him go!
"Are you really going to let me go?"
He confirmed again.
"It's true. Even if I don't lie to you, you're not qualified for me to lie to you.”
The corners of Zhu Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said,
"However, I have a condition."
"You have to cooperate with me. After the experiment, let everyone see that even a great thief has a conscience.”
Li Biao shook his head.
"Little brother, your thoughts are too simple.”
He chuckled.
" Perhaps everyone is flattering you, so you think that this world is very beautiful, haha…"
"I'm sure that I have no conscience. Even if you let me out, I'll still kill and set fire to the place because that's the fastest way to earn money. I can also get a sense of pleasure, a sense of pleasure from destroying everything.”
"Their screams are like celestial music to me. Hahahaha...."
