Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered all the six nine ministers and three cabinet ministers in the cabinet, and then said to them with a smile.

"Well, what level is our Tao'er, you should be very clear, right?"

The ministers of the Six Departments and the Nine Ministers, as well as the grandpa and father Yansheng who attended the meeting, have thoroughly understood Zhu Tao's ability, so they naturally have nothing to dissatisfy.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to Song Lian.

"Mr. Song, I'll trouble you for a while. Write an article on the specific issues of today's debate, and then distribute it to let officials above the fourth rank know what's going on today."

Anyway, Song Lian is willing to do this, not because he wants to use this as a step up, but because Zhu Tao's talent has completely convinced him.

In addition, Song Lian also specially added a sentence.

"I have a suggestion, not only to let officials above the fourth grade in Beijing know about today's events, but also to publish this article in a booklet and distribute it to the disciples of the six divisions and nine ministers."

At this time, Kong Xixue's complexion had already turned eggplant-colored, and it was fine to be ashamed among the officials, but he was even thrown among the students from all over the place.

This old man Song is really looking for trouble, but as a mascot who has no power in his hands, he really dare not speak up to Song Lian, who is a cabinet minister.

Unexpectedly, Song Lian didn't finish what he said. He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang again and continued to add.

"In order to make the Shaodong family famous, today's incident, I also suggested that the expression of Yan Shenggong should be written more specifically, so that scholars all over the world can feel as if they were there."

As soon as these words came out, not only Kong Xixue was slandered in his heart, but also the ministers beside him felt that this old man Song was so weak.

Kong Xixue next to him had already turned into an eggplant, but now he was almost ripe.

But now he also understands very well in his heart that he is completely a tool man being manipulated. If he doesn't cooperate, the consequences will be very serious.

Although I am a Yan Shenggong, facing these six ministers and cabinet ministers, I can only curry favor with them. After all, they have real power in their hands, but I have nothing, just a decoration.

Everyone has no opinion, and Kong Xixue himself can't say anything, only tears in his heart.

He was suddenly blessed to the heart, and said something to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"When I return to Shandong, I will spread the matter with everyone and make a good name for the young master."

Seeing Kong Xixue's statement, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of another level, and ordered to say.

"We have another idea. After you go back, write this incident into your Kong family tree by the way, so that it can be passed down in history in the future."

After hearing this, Kong Xixue, who was crying silently in his heart, had already greeted Zhu Yuanzhang's eighteen generations of ancestors one by one.

But I thought so in my heart, but said it out of my mouth.

"Your Majesty's holy candlelight is really thoughtful, and I will do it immediately after I go back."

When he said this, Kong Xixue's heart was almost bleeding, which had completely thrown Yan Shenggong's dignity into his grandma's house.

After the imperial court was over, Kong Xixue found a tavern and got very drunk. Kong Jian couldn't drink anymore even if he was by his side, but he also knew that there was nothing to comfort him.

At the same time, Fang Xiaoru was reading an article, and couldn't help frowning.

It was the article about the debate between Zhu Tao and Kong Xixue. After Song Lian returned, he immediately wrote it, and then called Fang Xiaoru to his mansion.

An article of several thousand words, Fang Xiaoru seemed to be lost in thought, Song Lian asked with a smile.

"Heeji, what do you think?"

Fang Xiaoru watched for a full quarter of an hour, and only raised his head during Song Lian's questioning, with a complicated expression on his face.

"It seems that Zhu Tao is really a great sage. I am indeed far behind him. It can be said that I can't match it. My disciples even think that Zhu Tao's theoretical system is quite complete, and it is even possible to establish a school on top of Confucianism. stand up."

Changing the subject, Fang Xiaoru continued.

"However, his temperament is too lazy, as if he is too lazy to do anything, and although he has a profound knowledge of Confucianism, he refuses to spend time on it. That is a pity for Confucianism."

This evaluation is quite pertinent. Zhu Tao's knowledge has already broken through the limitations of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's support in it, it will certainly be limitless in the future.

It was because he was too lazy, but Fang Xiaoru felt that if he continued to be lazy like this, if he worked hard, there might be a possibility of catching up.

Seeing Fang Xiaoru like this, Song Lian quickly comforted him.

"I'm very happy if you think so, but you don't have to be too discouraged. I've read all your articles during this time, and I've made great progress. Zhu Tao is not an ordinary person, so don't compare yourself with him."

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru replied calmly.

"Sir, you don't need to comfort me. In fact, I won't be hit, because I'm used to it."

After saying this, he couldn't help but wryly smiled, who made him a genius, and he was a bit talented, but he was indeed far behind Zhu Tao.

Song Lian thought about it, and then said to Fang Xiaoru.

"If you think so, it's really a pleasure to be a teacher. It's not in vain for me to cultivate you. I called you here today. I still have another thing for you to do. You can re-polish this article and add compliments." Send it to your friends, let them also make Zhu Tao famous."

Fang Xiaoru was stunned suddenly, and only spoke to Song Lian after a while.

"Teacher, isn't it inappropriate to do this? It seems that we are flattering Zhu Tao. We still have some reputation among the scholars. It would be too much to do this."

In fact, Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything deeper, because Song Lian has always been a very upright old master, how could he take the initiative to do this kind of thing, it seems a bit flattering.

Hearing this, Song Lian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and Fang Xiaoru said.

"As a teacher, I originally planned to talk to His Majesty to let you enter the court again. Now it seems that you have to continue to hone it. Let's talk about it later."

Fang Xiaoru was dumbfounded, and he asked a little puzzled.

"Why is this? Please explain it to me, sir."

Song Lian said earnestly.

"You have read so many books, but you have forgotten the basic truth. We are not flattering. What's wrong with making him famous? Didn't you say that he already has the ability to establish a school but is very lazy? Then we will To help him is to make a contribution to the world's scholars."

Only then did Fang Xiaoru understand Song Lian's good intentions, and replied with some shame.

"The teacher is right. The student didn't think of this, so the student will do as the teacher said."

Hearing this, Song Lian was a little relieved, and then continued.

"However, I really want to make good friends with Zhu Tao based on this matter. You don't have to be surprised. Such a talented person is also the emperor's adopted son. Nothing to do?"
