Zhu Biao seemed to have become Su Jing's substitute teacher, passing on what Su Jing taught to his younger brothers one by one.
It was like this for several days in a row.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy to see the results. Zhu Biao's doing so would help enhance his dignity in front of Lao Zhu's other sons.
Brothers, friends and brothers, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang asked for his sons.
Whether it is the love among the people, the majesty among the ministers, or the harmony among brothers.
Zhu Biao must have it.
A prince should be the best in all aspects so that he can inherit the throne in the future.
However, two people were not in such a good mood at this time.
Shi Wenyuanji, the censor who governs the book, and Fan Xianzu, the guest of the prince.
Both of them were teachers at Dabentang, although they were not as prestigious as Song Lian, nor were they as knowledgeable as Song Lian.
But it is still possible to be a lecturer.
When Zhu Biao gave lectures to his brothers these days, these two people also listened in.
As two people who had been deeply influenced by Confucianism, they were not as shocked as the princes or Kaos by the knowledge Zhu Biao said.
They only felt that what Prince Zhu Biao learned was all heretical ways.
"Master Wen, I think this matter cannot continue."
Outside the main hall, Fan Xianzu said to Wen Yuanji with a very serious expression.
Wen Yuanji nodded: "Master Fan is right. I never thought that the prince would learn all these things."
"That Mr. Su, I'm afraid he is a deceitful person who steals his reputation!"
Speaking of Su Jing, Wen Yuanji's face immediately became very angry.
If you educate the prince and don't let him learn Confucian classics or the words of saints and engage in those messy things, will the prince be able to grow up on the right path in the future?
"It's a pity that His Majesty seems to attach great importance to Mr. Su. We are very gentle people. Even if we really give suggestions, I'm afraid they will be of little use."
Fan Xianzu sighed.
Su Jing's reputation in the palace is not small, and many people have heard of it.
He, the prince's master, is not someone who can touch porcelain with just anyone.
Wen Yuanji said: "Are we going to let the prince go further and further down this wrong path? If this matter lasts for a long time, it will be very detrimental to all the scholars in the world!"
"What Mr. Wen said is true. His Royal Highness continues to be taught by Mr. Nasu as it is. It is possible that Confucianism will decline in the future."
Fan Xianzu agreed.
After all, it is the butt that determines the head, and these two people are still concerned about the status of Confucianism.
Since Dong Zhongshu proposed the idea of relationship between heaven and man, Confucianism has become the theory most consistent with royal rule. The status of Confucianism has also increased, and so have Confucian scholars.
In today's Ming Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism are compulsory subjects for scholars.
But if Prince Zhu Biao no longer studies Confucianism, when he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will the status of Confucianism still be what it is now?
A sense of crisis enveloped the hearts of Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu.
However, the two of them also knew the current situation, and it was not important enough for them to take the lead.
It really annoyed Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was afraid that he would be unable to eat and carry around.
Prince Zhu Biao is no longer a child.
Not long ago, the supervisor of the Nakongyin case was beheaded, and the people who were killed were heads rolling in, and the officials who were timid were killed.
Afraid!
Still one word: afraid!
Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu looked at each other without saying anything, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
At this moment, in the main hall, Zhu Biao was still explaining the principles of economics.
"Master Wen, I thought we couldn't wait any longer."
Fan Xianzu said with a serious expression.
Wen Yuanji took a look at the situation in the main hall, nodded and said: "That's true, Master Fan is going to perform? I'll be with Master Fan!"
At this moment, Wen Yuanji already had the belief to charge. Even if he was disgusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, he had to do it.
However, Fan Xianzu shook his head and said: "Sir Wen, you and I are humble, but I have a better way."
"Huh? Master Fan, please elaborate."
Wen Yuanji immediately became interested. What is the method of not rushing alone?
Fan Xianzu immediately leaned into Wen Yuanji's ear and whispered.
After a moment, Wen Yuanji's face showed a hint of excitement and said: "Master Fan, this method is good, let's set off now."
The two immediately asked for leave and left the main hall, directly leaving the Forbidden City.
Their target is Song Lian, the prince's lecturer on the Five Classics.
Song Mansion.
Since Prince Zhu Biao went to study with Su Jing, the number of times he went to the main hall to teach has been greatly reduced.
The whole person has also become much more low-key, and is basically in a state of invisibility in the court.
But he was not idle, but took advantage of this opportunity to speed up the revision of "History of the Yuan Dynasty".
This was still the first year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang assigned him the task assigned by an edict. Song Lian and Wang Hao served as the presidents of "Yuan History", majoring in Yuan history.
Revising the history books of the previous dynasty is a very major and important project.
That Song Lian can be entrusted with such an important task is enough to illustrate his status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Even though Lao Zhu was dissatisfied because of the previous incident, he was not punished or anything like that.
Therefore, Song Lian worked extremely hard in compiling "History of the Yuan Dynasty".
Today, the first revised "History of the Yuan Dynasty" is already in Song Lian's hands.
"Brother Jing Lian, it's finally finished!"
At this moment, Wang Ye was also at Song Lian's house. The two of them were both CEOs, so they worked together and had a good relationship.
"Zichong, it's all thanks to you!"
Song Lian looked at Wang Ye, unable to hide the excitement in his expression.
Compiling "History of the Yuan Dynasty" was a big project, and Wang Ye also played a huge role in it. Song Lian was not a small-minded person, he still had this big heart.
Wang Ye immediately said: "We have finally lived up to His Majesty's trust. We should enter the palace quickly and report the good news to Your Majesty."
It was Lao Zhu who issued the order in the first place. Now that the meeting has been completed, reporting to him is a matter of course.
This is a great achievement.
"Okay, then let's go together."
Song Lian nodded.
He heard that Zhu Biao was back. As the prince's teacher, he had taught Zhu Biao the longest.
Even though there was some unpleasantness before, this did not hinder the relationship between him and Zhu Biao.
It would also be good to drop by and see Zhu Biao.
At this moment, two figures appeared in front of Song Lian and Wang Hao.
"Master Song, Master Wang, it seems that the official has come just in time."
Fan Xianzu bowed his hands to the two of them, showing great respect.
Wen Yuanji on the side also saluted and said: "Sir Song, Mr. Wang."
Song Lian was slightly stunned, a little confused about the situation.
After Prince Zhu Biao went to Su Jing's place, his status as the crown prince's master plummeted.
Many officials with whom we had good relationships before have lost contact with them later.
After all, the prince was snatched away by Su Jing. Song Lian, the biggest prince's tutor, must be in an embarrassing situation.
For example, Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu have not seen each other for some time.
Song Lian is very clear about the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
He was not surprised. He still remembered Liu Bowen's words.
"Master Wen, Master Fan, why are you here?"
Although Song Lian was puzzled, he still asked Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu, with no strange expression on his face.
This Su Jing incident taught him a big lesson.
Some things just have to be done well.
Fan Xianzu said this and looked directly at the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" in Song Lian's hand.
"Master Song, has the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" been compiled and revised?"
Fan Xianzu asked Song Lian.
Song Lian nodded and said, "Yes, I have just finished revising it and am about to enter the palace to present it to His Majesty."
"Congratulations to Mr. Song, congratulations to Mr. Wang!"
Fan Xianzu immediately raised his hands to Song Lian and Wang Bao and congratulated them.
Wen Yuanji also immediately echoed: "His Majesty personally ordered the two adults to study the "History of the Yuan Dynasty". Now, in just over a year, the two adults have revised it. If your Majesty knows about it, he will be very happy! Wen Yuanji Ji would like to congratulate the two adults."
Although I know it's flattering, everyone likes to hear these nice words.
"Master Wen and Master Fan were joking. We are just fulfilling His Majesty's instructions. It is nothing."
Wang Bao replied with a smile, the joy on his face said everything.
Song Lian's expression was not very happy, and he just continued to ask: "What's the matter with the two adults? They should not just come to say thank you."
Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu looked at each other, and then said together:
"Master Song, there is indeed something that concerns the fate of scholars all over the world. Please come forward, Master Song!"
While talking, the two of them also bowed directly to Song Lian and saluted, barely even kneeling down.
This attitude, quite sincere, only heightened the suspense.
Wang Bao looked at the two of them with a strange expression on his face.
He looked at Song Lian again, as if he wanted to get something from Song Lian's face.
The fate of scholars in the world.
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Song Lian's face darkened slightly, but he looked much calmer than Wang Bao.
He said: "Whether the two adults are joking or not, I, Song Lian, am virtuous and capable. I have no control over the major events of the world's scholars."
Although he didn't know what happened to Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu, his intuition told him that it was most likely related to Su Jing.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanji immediately said: "Sir Song, you must be aware of the recent return of the prince."
Prince Zhu Biao!
When Song Lian heard this, he immediately became wary.
He nodded and said: "I did hear a little bit about it, but I don't know what the relationship between Master Wen and the prince is."
Everything involving Prince Zhu Biao must inevitably involve Su Jing.
Song Lian was quite cautious.
This made Fan Xianzu on the side a little surprised. He and Wen Yuanji had made the matter so serious, but Song Lian's reaction was still so dull.
It shouldn’t be!
Wen Yuanji continued: "Sir, Mr. Song, the prince has been giving lectures in the main hall these days, and what he has taught is what Mr. Su taught. Mr. Fan and I listened for a few days and agreed that the prince has gone astray. If it doesn't work, Correction, that would be a great disaster!”
The prince has gone astray!
Wen Yuanji's words already sounded a bit dangerous.
Even Fan Xianzu, who came with him, was a little panicked. He quickly added:
"Master Wen means that what Mr. Su taught the prince was all heretical knowledge, sages' classics, and words of saints. His highness the prince was not deeply involved in the world, so he was deceived! Mr. Song please come forward and inform his highness the prince. , His Royal Highness will be able to detect the scam."
Fan Xianzu did not dare to say anything bad about Prince Zhu Biao. At most, he was deceived.
Lao Zhu's protection of Zhu Biao's shortcomings has reached a certain level.
Except for himself, anyone else who dares to say bad things about Zhu Biao will most likely be unlucky.
Of course, Su Jing is an exception for the time being.
"Master Song, Wen Yuanji knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a deep relationship with you. We can only rely on Master Song for this matter, otherwise the future of scholars in this world will be in danger!"
Wen Yuanji said very sincerely.
Only Prince Zhu Biao accepted Confucian education, continued to deepen it, and completely recognized Confucianism in his heart.
Only then can the status of Confucianism be stable, and scholars like them who study Confucian classics carefully can maintain their current status.
This is not alarmist, this is a fact that Wen Yuanji recognizes in his heart.
He believed that Song Lian, a great Confucian, must understand this truth.
"Is this happening?"
Wang Hao also had a look of shock on his face after listening to Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu's words.
He doesn't know much about Su Jing. For more than a year, he has been basically revising "History of the Yuan Dynasty".
Now when I heard the two people say this, I suddenly felt that the matter had become serious.
Wang Bao was also a great Confucian scholar, and he deeply recognized the orthodoxy of Confucianism.
I heard that Prince Zhu Biao did not study Confucian classics or the words of saints. This is a big deal.
"It's absolutely true! Mr. Wang, Mr. Wen and I have been listening in the main hall for several days. What His Highness the Crown Prince talks about are all the techniques of the three religions and nine streams, which are just heresy."
Fan Xianzu said eagerly: "If Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, you can enter the palace now. His Royal Highness is still talking."
At this moment, Wang Ye couldn't sit still anymore and said to Song Lian: "Brother Jing Lian, this matter is indeed serious. It seems that neither of us can sit idly by and ignore it."
His Highness the Prince no longer studies Confucian classics, but instead studies some nonsense.
This is a major event that will shake the foundation of scholars.
"Master Song, you are the Prince's lecturer on the Five Classics. This matter can only be resolved if you come forward!"
Fan Xianzu asked Song Lian again.
He and Wen Yuanji didn't have enough weight, but Song Lian had more weight.
Especially since the revision of "Yuan History" has just been completed, it is a great achievement.
This can happen!
Fan Xianzu was still somewhat confident.
However.
"Zichong, don't be impatient."
Song Lian said to Wang Ye: "This matter is still unclear, so there is no need to rush to a conclusion."
this.
Fan Xianzu and Wen Yuanji were both stunned.
Still not sure?
Not in a hurry to make a conclusion?
Could it be that they haven't described the seriousness of the matter yet?
It shouldn’t be!
Even Wang Bao took the initiative to lighten up, so why could Song Lian remain indifferent?
"Master Song, if you don't believe us, you can go to the main hall to find out. I believe Master Song will see it."
"It goes without saying, I know this."
Fan Xianzu wanted to continue to persuade, but Song Lian interrupted him directly and said: "When I hand over "History of the Yuan Dynasty" to your majesty, you will understand. You two adults, please come back."
Speaking of this, Song Lian was already catching up with the guests.
Wang Ye was a little confused and wanted to say something, but Song Lian stopped him with a direct look.
Wen Yuanji and Fan Xianzu felt something was wrong, but they didn't know what was wrong.
"Then don't bother Mr. Song."
The two of them knew that talking more would be useless, so they turned around and left.
Song Lian looked at the two people leaving, shook his head slightly and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable!"
