Awkward.
Very embarrassing.
Wouldn't that be embarrassing if you were caught eavesdropping on a wall?
Zhu Di glanced at Su Yang with a strange expression, and then led him to a room.
The rest of the people also left wisely, they did not dare to get into trouble with Zhu Di at this time.
Su Yang was in the room just now. He not only scolded Zhu Yunzhen, but also scolded King Yan Zhu Di!
But Su Yang didn't give Prince Yan any face.
The key is that King Yan Zhu Di was listening outside the house. The atmosphere was really weird and embarrassing to the extreme!
This is because of Su Yang's status as son-in-law, otherwise Prince Yan would have stabbed someone long ago!
In the room, Zhu Di and Su Yang sat opposite each other.
Su Yang looked at Zhu Di slightly blankly.
"Father-in-law, your status in Prince Yan's palace is really not low!"
Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained: "Ahem, a certain family is the general of His Highness King Yan. They have followed His Highness since he became a vassal, so they are highly valued and trusted by His Highness King Yan."
This plan really can’t keep up with the changes!
Zhu Di also thought about having a showdown with Su Yang directly and surrendering to this banished immortal.
However, after listening to Su Yang's words today, Zhu Di was horrified to discover that this boy turned out to be a "disciple of Yasheng"!
Su Yang had no respect for the Tian family royal family, and even openly promoted Yasheng's remarks, which really scared Zhu Di.
So after much thought, he decided to continue observing Su Yang. As for the idea of showing his cards directly to reveal his identity, Zhu Di had long ago thrown it out of the window!
"Ahem, virtuous son-in-law, are you really a disciple of Ya Sheng?"
Zhu Di suppressed the fear in his heart and asked tentatively.
He valued this talented son-in-law very highly, even more than his two sons.
How can a big fool or a second-rate fool compare to the resourceful and capable Su Yang?
But Zhu Di never expected that Su Yang would be a disciple of Ya Sheng!
He openly promoted Yasheng's words that "the people are more important than the king" and persuaded Zhang Bing to be loyal to the people of the world. What is this if not a disciple of Yasheng?
If Su Yang was really a disciple of Ya Sheng, it would be really difficult!
Zhu Di was troubled here, but Su Yang was indifferent and asked a question carelessly.
"Father-in-law, even if this kid is really a disciple of Ya Sheng, so what?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Di glared, "How come you kid doesn't know the pros and cons!"
"The imperial court has always promoted Zhu Xi's teachings and established it as the mainstream theory."
"Any other theory will be labeled as heresy and will be criticized and persecuted by scholars all over the world!"
"Su Yang, you are still young, so you must not go astray, otherwise you will never have a foothold in the future!"
This wording was already Zhu Di's best wording after careful consideration.
The real situation is far more serious than what Zhu Di said!
As the fourth son of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Di certainly understood why his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, advocated Zhu Xi's teachings and suppressed Mencius's speech.
Isn't the purpose of suppressing Yasheng to stabilize the rule of the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Xi's theory promoted the idea of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and advocated the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles". It was an out-and-out theory of official affairs. Therefore, it was able to stand out from many Confucian theories and become the mainstream theory designated by the imperial court.
Even the foreign barbarians of the Meng and Yuan Dynasties found Cheng and Zhu's stuff very useful, so when Zhu Xi's theory reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty, it completely became the official Confucianism!
On the other hand, Mencius' remarks that "the people value the king and the king is valued" are simply treasonous and unethical, and were not recognized and accepted by the court at all.
For example, the sentence in "Mencius" "If a ruler treats his ministers like grass and grass, then his ministers will regard him as an enemy." Does this sound like what a minister should say?
So much so that after his father Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he strongly supported Zhu Xi's teachings and suppressed Yasheng's opinions!
The sub-sage Mencius was once withdrawn from the Confucius Temple, canceling his status as a sage.
Although the imperial court later restored Mencius' status as a worthy sage, the book "Mencius" was greatly deleted, leaving only more than 170 articles, which were rigidly promulgated in schools across the country.
Moreover, Taizu also explicitly stipulated that all the eighty-five articles in "Mencius" that are not in line with the "famous teachings" should be deleted, and ordered that "from now on, within the eighty-five articles, students will not be selected by propositions, and scholars will not be selected by imperial examinations." .
In other words, the imperial court adopted a harsh and suppressive attitude towards Ya Sheng's disciples.
In this era when Zhu Xi's theory is very popular, if Su Yang is really a disciple of Yasheng, there will be absolutely no place for him!
Zhu Di was also very distressed. Why did this good child go astray?
"My dear son-in-law, this is no joke!"
"Famous sect disciples are all over the world, you must never spread the words of Yasheng again!"
When Su Yang heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How could he become a disciple of Yasheng?
Just by saying "the people are more important than the king", is this why you are labeled as a demon and a heretic?
Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, the imprisonment of the people's thoughts is too serious!
"Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law is not a disciple of Yasheng!"
"The reason why I said those words today is just to let Zhang Bing see the situation clearly and not make unnecessary sacrifices!"
Zhu Di felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"Are you very optimistic about that Zhang Bing?"
"Zhang Bing's talent is no less than that of Bao Zhao, he is truly a pure and good minister!"
Su Yang gave his own reason, "There are not many pure civil servants like Zhang Bing and Bao Zhao in the Ming Dynasty who are devoted to the country and the people and have extraordinary abilities!"
"If they are alive, they can still benefit the people. If they die, it will only be a loss for the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Di's face changed slightly, he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Su Yang's evaluation is not low!
It seems that he needs to pay attention to exposing Zhang Bing and others.
After a moment of silence, Su Yang took the initiative to say goodbye.
"Father-in-law, if nothing happens, my son-in-law will go back to Xishan first."
"It's getting late, and that girl Xiaowan is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded.
As long as Su Yang is not a disciple of Ya Sheng, it won't be a big deal.
But just as Su Yang stood up and left, Zhu Di suddenly asked again.
"Xian son-in-law, have you heard about what happened at Songtingguan?"
"Bu Wanqin, a die-hard loyalist of the imperial court, led an army of 30,000 to guard Songting Pass. How should the Yan army conquer this powerful pass?"
Songtingguan?
Let’s go to Luronsai!
Su Yang's heart moved, but he didn't say much.
"My son-in-law knows nothing about military affairs. It would be better for my father-in-law to ask Master Daoyan for advice!"
"That monk is just half a bucket of water. I've already asked him, but he doesn't have any strategies!"
Zhu Di replied impatiently.
Bu Wan's army guarding Songting Pass was like a sharp thorn that could stab Peiping at any time. This made Zhu Di feel like he had a knife in his throat and found it difficult to feel at ease.
"My dear son-in-law, if you have a clever idea, just tell me!"
"Now our family and His Highness Prince Yan are tied together. We will both prosper and suffer!"
Hearing this, Su Yang glared at Zhu Di angrily.
I told you not to get involved, now you know you regret it?
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law heard that the famous general Chen Heng had a close friendship with King Zhu Di of Yan. Why don't you try to take action on Chen Heng?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he frowned again.
"But after all, the commander-in-chief of Songting Pass is Bu Wan. This man is selfless and very strict in running the army. Even if Chen Heng is willing to submit to His Highness King Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do so!"
"Isn't this simple? A divorce tactic, a bitter meat tactic, a honey trap... just pick any one, as long as Bu Wan and Chen Heng are suspicious of each other, and the Yan army takes advantage of the situation to attack, won't it be over?"
"Furthermore, Bu Wan of Songting Pass is indeed strict in running the army, but he is a little too strict. This is not a good thing. If things are inevitable and cause the three armies to mutiny and blow up the camp, then Songting Pass will be destroyed!"
Su Yang said casually, and then ran away.
He chose the thirty-sixth strategy as the best strategy!
Zhu Di fell into deep thought alone, and then slapped his thigh suddenly!
"Wonderful!"
"Why didn't I, the king, think of this?"
