Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 604 Young China Talks

The Yansheng Gongan case is slowly coming to an end, and the skins of the dead people beside the official road have been removed one by one and sent to various government offices to be disciplined by the officials.The Jin Yi Tiqi who originally made everyone in the court gradually disappeared. The originally gloomy and decadent atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty Shilin became more vigorous in an unprecedented way. Ying Tian Mansion was full of new students of the Qing Yi Hang Sword. Scholar.They called themselves "True Confucians" and passed the reformed imperial examinations, and entered the Ming Dynasty in large numbers.

Although most of them are only minor officials now, most of them have broad vision and extensive knowledge; they are also pragmatic, hard-working, and willing to be civilized and military. In just a few months, their official reputation among the people has actually surpassed those of the old-style high-ranking officials. All the bureaucrats competed.

Because of this incident, King Zhu Su of Zhou, who defeated smallpox and recovered from his illness, published a heroic article in the newspaper called "Young China Theory". As soon as this article was published, it once again raised the spirits of these new scholars who had just taken office. At the peak, the young men among the people were even more enthusiastic. Many sons and daughters of the family took the initiative to respond to the court's call and wanted to move to Yingzhou and Helin. They wanted to imitate what the ancestors of China had done in the past, and they wanted to develop and manage these things well for China. A whole new territory.

"The wisdom of young people will make the country wise; the richness of young people will make the country rich; the strong young people will make the country strong; the progress of young people will make the country progress; the young people will be strong on the earth, and the country will be strong on the earth."

"The red sun is just rising, and its path is bright. The river emerges from the submerged stream and flows into the ocean. The dragon dives into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly. The breast tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts tremble. The eagle and the falcon test their wings, and the wind and dust spread..."

"Uncle Wu, this 'Young China Story' is so well written! Reading it makes the hero feel hot all over, and he wishes he could fight on the battlefield for our Ming Dynasty and achieve great achievements!"

In the carriage, Zhu Xiongying was sitting next to Zhu Su, reciting the article "Young China" with a blushing face.His smallpox had healed, and his cowpox rash had faded.Except for a vaccination mark on his arm, there was no other abnormality on his body.The little guy had a strong heart and did not become timid because of the smallpox incident. When his condition improved, he started making noises and wanted to go out of the palace to gain experience.Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao and others were in shock, how could they agree?However, Zhu Su'er's roots were softer. Zhu Xiongying had been working hard these days, but Zhu Su finally got Lao Zhu's permission and took his eldest nephew out of the palace to get some fresh air.

Zhu Su touched Zhu Xiongying's head and said with a smile: "Heroes are really heroic! But you must also know that not all battles can achieve achievements. If you are obsessed with achievements and are so happy about achievements, you will often fall into a militaristic situation. Although you If you are good at martial arts, you must also learn civilized affairs. Only when civilized and martial arts complement each other can you achieve great things. Even the Jinshi who were married in the imperial examination this time, most of them are civilized and martial, and carry swords across their waists."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying responded quickly: "I know this! Those who carry swords and learn to ride and shoot on horses are called true Confucians! Those Confucian scholars in my uncle's "Three Kingdoms" can both make plans and kill enemies in battle."

"Only the cowardly old Confucians of the Song Dynasty would live in Lin'an City and despise the generals. In the future, heroes should also be true Confucians of the Han and Tang Dynasties who are both civil and military!"

Even Zhu Xiongying, who lives in the deep palace, knows that the old Confucianism is useless. It can be seen that nowadays, the reputation of the old Confucianism has been criticized by everyone.Today's Ming Dynasty has begun to take on the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"So, heroes should study hard and not slack off. Even if they want to expand their territory, they should learn all their civil and military subjects well." Zhu Su said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Zhu Xiongying nodded heavily, and then felt a little aggrieved: "Fifth uncle, Xiongying has always studied his homework well. It's just that what Mr. Xu and Chen said was really hard for Xiongying to understand. This is why he is always being criticized. They complained to dad and slapped Xiongying on the palm of his hand."

"I will definitely study harder from now on!"

Xu and Chen, the two great masters, were the two great Confucians responsible for teaching Zhu Xiongying in the old Dabentang.Although these two talents are knowledgeable, they are actually from the old school. They constantly try to secretly restrain Zhu Xiongying according to the standards of the old school, and teach him to become a "conservative king" who "rules from the top" and "selects the talented and appoints the capable".Zhu Xiongying was very disgusted with this, but because he respected his teacher, he did not dare to comment easily on weekdays.Therefore, when he was seriously ill, he expressed his inner ambition and said, "I don't want to be the Emperor Shoucheng who rules from the top down, but I would like to learn from my fifth uncle to expand the territory."These two men wanted to secretly manipulate Taisun's ambitions, which made Lao Zhu Longyan furious.They themselves also participated in the Yansheng Gongan case, and have now been cut off in half.

The uncle and nephew were chatting in the car, but they felt the carriage pause, and Di Meng's voice came from outside the car: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Grand Sun, have arrived at the residence of Duke Zheng."

Although Zhu Xiongying left the palace, the incident of accidentally contracting smallpox was still vivid in his mind, and even Zhu Su did not dare to take him out of the city to play at this time.Therefore, today I brought Zhu Xiongying to visit Duke Zheng's Chang Mansion.The Chang family is Zhu Xiongying's uncle's family, and they should have come here to report that they are safe.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is here! Take a look, uncle!" Fang opened the curtain door, and Chang Mao, the Duke of Zheng who had been at the door earlier, came up to him. He picked up Zhu Xiongying and rubbed his whiskers on his chin. Zhu Xiongying and Chang Mao Mao was also very close to her, and she couldn't stop laughing.The uncle and nephew laughed and laughed for a while. Chang Maofang put Zhu Xiongying down and turned to look at Zhu Su: "I have met His Highness the Fifth! Seeing that Your Highness is in good health, I feel relieved, Old Chang!"

"Brother Chang, there's no need to be polite. Let's talk about it in the house!" Zhu Su patted Chang Mao on the shoulder.The two of them fought side by side in the maritime frontier, and then lived and died together in the northern frontier. There was no need to be too polite.

Chang Mao welcomed Zhu Su and Zhu Xiongying in. When they arrived at the main hall, there was a man waiting for the Prime Minister in the hall.This man's face was covered with pockmarks and he was skinny and skinny. When he saw Zhu Su and Zhu Xiongying come in, he hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but Xu was staggering because of his physical weakness. Mao hurriedly supported him, but he pushed Chang Mao's hand away and stubbornly knelt down to Zhu Su and Zhu Xiongying.

"The guilty minister Chang Sheng came to visit His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and His Royal Highness Taisun. The guilty minister committed a heinous crime by putting the Taisun into danger, but he relied on the Tian family for treatment and was lucky enough to save his life..."

"I'm so grateful, but I failed to protect His Highness. I'm really ashamed, so ashamed..." As he said this, he sobbed loudly, with a look of guilt and fear on his face.

"Second uncle, there is no need to cry. Xiongying did not blame uncle." Zhu Xiongying wisely avoided Chang Sheng's gift, went around to the side and helped Chang Sheng up.

Chang Sheng is Chang Mao's younger brother. On the day Zhu Xiongying contracted the epidemic, it was Chang Sheng, his uncle, who took him for an outing in the countryside.Unexpectedly, that area had become an epidemic area, and Chang Sheng himself was infected with smallpox.He was unlucky and got sick much earlier than Zhu Xiongying. After Dai Sigong treated Zhu Xiongying and arrived at the Chang Mansion, Chang Sheng had already lost most of his life.Although he was cured by luck in the end, it left scars all over his body and damaged his origin.

In the past, Chang Sheng was also a man of literary and military skills. In terms of his own ability, he even surpassed his brother Chang Mao.The Chang family will be Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying's right-hand men in the future. Lao Zhu originally had high hopes for him, but unexpectedly he suffered this change.Chang Sheng was also in a state of despair. He was originally a brilliant and distinguished son, but he turned out to be so skinny.

When Zhu Su and Zhu Xiongying came here, one of their first priorities was to visit Chang Sheng, so that he could get rid of his guilt and cheer up again.
