Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Almost a perfect answer!

Concise and concise!

It shocked everyone's hearts and left them speechless for a long time!

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"very good!"

Jiang Zheng's three "good" words in a row were enough to recognize Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng is the first person in the world who can compare the relationship between king and people with water and a boat!

Such a metaphor requires no explanation, and everyone can understand its meaning.

It not only affirmed the rights of the king, but also affirmed the power of the people, and told the court and royal family that they must not ignore the people!

For a time, the applause was like thunder, and countless people cheered for Zhou Zheng.

This kind of answer is no longer a question of talent, but Zhou Zheng's structure and state of mind.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhou Zheng still remained calm.

In the world before Zhou Zheng, there were many Confucian discussions about the relationship between ruler and people. Among them, Mencius' "relationship between ruler and people" was the so-called relationship between water and boats in Zhou Zheng's mouth, and it was recognized by later generations.

Therefore, this problem that seems unsolvable to the world couldn't be simpler for Zhou Zheng.

"Damn it, the boss is still showing off at this moment."

"But this is the realm of pretense. It doesn't show off the scenery, but it is enough to shock the whole audience."

In Zhou Ping's view, Zhou Zheng was just pretending to be calm.

But the admiration he felt for Zhou Zheng in his heart was even stronger.

There were scholars, officials, and people present!

When everyone looked at Zhou Zheng, the expressions in their eyes were different, especially the common people, who looked fanatical.

In this hierarchical world, how many people can see the common people as human beings! ?

Not to mention the superior imperial power, even the local gentry and landlords never cared about these people.

They are like grass and grass, being slaughtered but unable to do anything.

Today, the occurrence of Zhou Zheng has undoubtedly greatly improved the status of the people.

Thinking of Zhou Zheng's previous New Deal, countless people became excited.

"If the prince can become the emperor of my great Zhou Dynasty, it may be the luckiest thing for my people!"

"Yes, this is the true sage king that the people are looking forward to!"

Countless people's hearts fluctuated, and the eyes looking at Zhou Zheng had changed a little bit unconsciously. This change was fiery!

The people don't care who will sit on the former throne!

Because no matter who sits, it has no impact on them. They can only be passively dominated and exploited!

But at this moment, their mood changed!

Such a state was all seen by Mu Yun, Gong Tan and others.

They looked at each other, and an inexplicable hidden meaning began to escape from their eyes.

"Second question, I dare to ask the prince, what should be the realm pursued by the rulers of the world?!"

Jiang Zheng continued to ask questions.

And this question made everyone hold their breath.

Many people were worried about Zhou Zheng.

What is the realm pursued by the rulers of the world? !

This is the realm of the emperor!

But Zhou Zheng is a prince, still far from an emperor!

What does it mean to ask at this time! ?

This is disrespectful and out of bounds!

But Jiang Zhengwen came out!

Do you want Zhou Zheng to answer? ! How to answer! ?

Quiet!

It was deathly quiet all around!

Zhou Ping and others who were originally excited also turned gloomy again. This question is more difficult than the previous one!

If it weren't for Zhou Zheng's perfect answer to the first question, Zhou Ping would have even thought that Jiang Zheng was deliberately trying to embarrass Zhou Zheng.

"Master Muyun, how do you think this question should be answered!?"

His heart beat faster. As the heir apparent, Zhou Ping was very aware of the trap of this question.

This is no longer an embarrassing matter. A careless choice or an incorrect choice of words can lead to great disaster for the nine clans.

Mu Yun shook his head, with a bitter look on his face.

From the moment Zhou Zheng answered the first question, Mu Yun knew that he had nothing to teach Zhou Zheng.

As for the second question, it is no longer just a question of discussing Tao.

Gong Tan clenched his palms tightly, and his palms were already covered with sweat. His face was pale and he didn't dare to take a breath.

As for others, such as Gu Jiang and others, they were even more panicked.

But they were panicked, and there was still a trace of expectation in their eyes towards Zhou Zheng.

During this period, Zhou Zheng brought them too many surprises!

"Four words!"

"Sage inside and king outside!"

Zhou Zheng's pupils turned, he thought a little, and said four words.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

Obviously they have never heard of these four words.

What is the inner saint and the outer king? ?

Or can we say that today’s sage has become the inner saint and the outer king again? !

Zhou Zheng continued to explain calmly: "In layman's terms, the 'inner saint' means cultivating one's moral character and requires people to be a virtuous person; the 'outer king' means ordering the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world."

Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!

Four words, eight words!

Whoohoo! ! !

After everyone's pupils suddenly dilated, their breathing became heavier.

"The talents of a saint carry out the royal way!"

"The prince's words are extremely insightful. I admire him for being an old man!"

At this moment, Jiang Zheng could no longer sit still and stood up and raised his hands towards Zhou Zheng!

As a great scholar of his generation, he knew that if the world wanted long-term peace and order, the behavior of rulers was extremely important.

Great Confucian scholars throughout the ages have been trying to find ways to reconcile the relationship between rulers and the people, and they have also tried to reshape the ideal appearance of rulers.

However, they only had a general direction and never really proposed concrete measures.

But Zhou Zheng solved the problem that had troubled Confucianism for hundreds of years in just eight characters.

How could he not be shocked! ?

Jiang Zheng's reaction, especially the gesture of handing over his hand, shocked countless people!

Can you be worthy of being worshiped by a great scholar of the time? !

Not even the Holy One could do it, but Zhou Zheng did it!

Many people have not fully understood these eight words, but Jiang Zheng's actions are enough to explain something.

And the scholars from all over the world who gathered here were even more excited!

If the king can really pursue this, how lucky will the world be? !

If we talk about the first question, it is asked by the people.

Then the second question is for the future kings of the world!

Jiang Zheng could not imagine why such an incisive summary came from Zhou Zheng?

But besides Zhou Zheng, who could say such shocking words that would make ghosts and gods cry?

This boy must be an extraordinary talent!

The benevolent government promoted by the Great Zhou Dynasty was already a great progress in the eyes of Jiang Zheng.

And Zhou Zheng's so-called inner saint and outer king are obviously better than the so-called benevolent government.

Self-cultivation, family order, rule the country and the world!

Even beyond the so-called king, in his opinion, it should be the pursuit of everyone in the world!

"Juniors are not talented."

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised to be greeted by Jiang Zheng like this.

He quickly returned the gift, but when he glanced at the expressions of the people below from the corner of his eye, his heart was filled with excitement.

This is what he wants!

The problem in Xiangjun cannot be solved by Zhou Zheng's two simple new policies.

What he wants is to build momentum!

Absolute momentum building!

Let this momentum destroy all the blockers in Xiang County!

However, Zhou Zheng did not get carried away, but became even more nervous.

Because he knew very well that Jiang Zheng had a third problem!

And the third question may be the real fatal question that hits the nail on the head!
