Chapter 90: Criticism "This is Yang Zhu's teaching, and Mencius regarded it as a beast."
Liu Bowen was very sensitive and refuted it unceremoniously.
"Crack" Another bolt of lightning struck down in mid-air, illuminating his face as badly as snow.
Understood, at this moment, Liu Ji completely understood.
On the surface, Huaiyang's government followed Mencius, but in fact it was completely based on Yang Zhu.
Words must be praised for profit, the past is ignored and the present is valued, and there is even no king or father.
No wonder General Manager Zhu refused to admit that he was from the Maitreya Sect.
No wonder General Manager Zhu often scolded Buddha and cursed his ancestors.
It turned out that he was the only descendant of Yang Zhu in the world.
Zhu Chongjiu only used one sentence to make all Liu Bowen's speculations self-defeating.
"Who is Yang Zhu?"
He looked back at Liu Bowen, who was full of panic, and asked very frankly.
“I don’t read much and have never heard of this person.”
"Boom, boom, boom" another burst of thunder rolled over his head, making Liu Bowen stagger.
"My lord, please don't deliberately deceive me."
Staring at Zhu Chongjiu, he growled in a low voice, "My lord, you can write lyrics and compose music.
Every article published is recited by thousands of people.
My lord, my lord actually told Liu Little reading.
My lord, my lord.”
He was so angry that he couldn't speak the second half of the sentence.
The most scoundrel thing is to pretend to be stupid.
If Zhu Chongjiu insists that he has never read a book and does not know who Yang Zhu is, no one can open his belly and see how much ink is stored in it.
"I really don't know who Yang Zhu is, and I don't mean to deceive you."
Zhu Chongjiu met Liu Bowen with his eyes rounded, and innocence was written on his face.
"Actually, I know the words of Confucius and Mencius."
It won’t exceed fifty lines.
As for Que Qin Yuan Chun and Lin Jiang Xian, forget it, I said I didn’t write them, and you wouldn’t believe it.
But apart from these words and this song, Bowen also listened to me.
Made the third article” "This" Liu Bowen was speechless.
Judging from daily interactions, my lord does not seem to be someone who can compose that one line and one song.
Although he doesn't behave like a vulgar butcher, he is, as the saying goes, "poetry and calligraphy."
A person who can recite Qin Yuanchun will naturally bring some allusions to his speech, unlike him, who basically talks in plain English, occasionally adding one or two words that no one understands.
It is completely self-made and has no source at all.
"But to say that Zhu has little reading is indeed self-effacing."
After glancing at the confused Liu Bowen, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "I can only say that the books I read are different from those you read.
After you become enlightened, you will focus on Regarding the Four Books and Five Classics, I am afraid that I do not have a deep understanding of the words of the ancient sages and sages.
However, Zhu only knows the names of the Four Books and Five Classics.
As for the specific content, I am afraid that he has not read a word of it carefully. " "But Zhu knows that the earth is as round as a ball, and knows that there are no gods living in the sky.
He knows that the waxing and waning of the moon is just the light of the sun being blocked by the earth.
He knows that the starry sky is infinite, and that the place where you and I live is just one of them.
A remote corner.
In terms of expertise in Confucian classics, Zhu is probably not as good as anyone here.
In terms of breadth, please forgive Zhu for his lies.
If Zhu is humble, there may not be anyone in the world who can surpass Zhu."
Zhu Chongjiu talked eloquently, with pride written all over his face, "You want a person who has seen the universe and the stars with his eyes.

When you encounter problems, you can find answers from the quotations of ancient sages and sages, and then worship the words of the ancients.
Bowen, this is It’s too difficult and impossible” "Rumble" Another burst of thunder rolled through the air, and lightning stretched and shortened Liu Bowen's shadow.
The Lord is lying.
Instinctively, he wanted to reject every word Zhu Chongjiu said.
But there was an intuition in his heart telling him that what the other party said was all the truth.
Zhu Chongjiu was unwilling and disdainful to pretend to be a ghost.
Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly emphasized that he was not an incarnation of Maitreya Buddha, nor would he take the initiative to sever ties with the White Lotus Sect.
He may not be wise enough, but he is upright enough towards his own people and never lies to others.
Not to mention pretending to be profound by taking things that others don’t understand.
"I know you don't believe it."
He had already guessed how Liu Bowen would react.
Zhu Chongjiu smiled, with a ray of tenderness on his face.
"The first time I heard Zhu say something similar, only one person chose unconditionally.
I believe it.
Because her fate has long been linked to Zhu, and is inseparable.
But Zhu can prove to you, Bowen, that you are good at magic. , how is it compared to you?”
"This, this" As if there was a devil standing in front of him, Liu Bowen stepped back involuntarily.
The boundless wind and rain immediately drenched him into a drowned rat again.
But he didn't feel the coldness of the rain at all, he just looked at Zhu Chongjiu, blankly, without blinking.
In addition to his knowledge of Cheng and Zhu, what he was most proud of was his attainments in magic.
Tianyuan, Siyuan, Duoji, Zhaocha and other techniques are all involved.
But when it comes to planning military affairs and discussing affairs, his mental arithmetic speed can always only be ranked second.
No matter how huge the number is, Zhu Chongjiu seems to be able to calculate directly in his head, or just draw a few strokes on the paper to get the answer.
Then it would take a long time before the soldiers in Sicang could use the abacus to give the same or similar numbers.
It turns out that everyone is accustomed to this and thinks that their master is a gifted talent and knows everything.
So although Liu Ji was curious, he didn't think about it seriously.
Today, I was reminded by Zhu Chongjiu himself that I suddenly realized that my master's arithmetic skills were probably ten times more than mine.
However, he came from a famous family and devoted himself to art for no less than thirty years.
My lord Zhu Chongjiu is only twenty years old.
"Don't hide so far away, I won't eat you."
Zhu Chongjiu chased after him with a smile, covering Liu Bowen's head with his umbrella again.
The latter held his shoulders with his hands and shrank completely into a ball.
Not only because of the cold, but also because of the shock in my heart.
Zhu Chongjiu didn't lie, he told the truth.
Not only is he proficient in magic, but he is also proficient in making weapons.
Proficient in geography and astronomy.
He even knew what had happened in Europa, thousands of miles away, and had a great conversation with Ivanov.
However, no similar records can be found in the food books of the Central Plains.
"Actually, Zhu has never denied the ancient sages."
Seeing that he had shocked Liu Bowen to such an extent, Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said with a hint of apologies: "Zhu remembered the sage's saying, if there are three people walking together, there must be something wrong.
My teacher.
The same is true for learning, and the same is true for governing a country.
As long as it is good and feasible, Zhu wants to learn from it, whether he comes from barbarians or from China."
Raising his other hand to wipe away the water stains on Liu Bowen's shoulder, he smiled and continued to add, "Zhu only cares about whether it will be conducive to the development and growth of Huaiyang, but he will not consider whether it is inconsistent with the words of the saint.
Because in In Zhu's eyes, saints are originally very open-minded and not ashamed to ask for advice from hundreds of schools of thought.

With this confidence, after being compatible with the leaders of hundreds of schools, his knowledge is still unique and he still reaches the great path.
If Bowen really wants to inherit the holy knowledge, he should have this kind of mind and not close his eyes.
Covering your ears and being arrogant will only bring shame to the saints, instead of making you proud of what you are doing today."
"Boom, boom, boom, boom" Liu Bowen heard another thunder in his ears, and a flush quickly appeared on his face, "My lord, my lord knows, I know that Wei Chen has been here lately."
A smile quickly appeared on the corner of Zhu Chongjiu's mouth, "I know, you are not pretending to be sick, but you are suffering from a heart disease.
Zhu originally didn't want to expose it and wait for you to recover slowly.
But Bowen, you didn't give yourself enough time."
This was his purpose of catching up today, to keep Liu Bowen and this famous counselor in history, not to show how knowledgeable he was.
Liu Bowen was resourceful and decisive, had a sharp vision, and was proficient in the art of war.
He was a very rare staff talent.
However, Liu Bowen has a fatal weakness: he loves to get into trouble.
This makes it difficult for this person to get along well with the entire staff system of the General Manager's Office, and the role he can play in daily life may be less than one-tenth of his true ability.
Note 1 "Lord, I am a minister, and I am a scholar.
I was a scholar in the first year of Yuan Tong."
Zhu Chongjiu's words revealed his thoughts.
Liu Bowen's face turned redder, he raised his hands and struggled to defend himself.
"How is Master Bilu?"
Zhu Chongjiu looked at him again and asked with a smile.
"Compared, not as good as the Good Lord."
Liu Bowen's body trembled slightly, and he responded in a low voice, "However, the encounters between the minister and the Good Lord are also different."
Under the same conditions, Liu Bowen only got Jinshi, while Lu Zeng passed Meng Yuan in high school and was ranked second.
So of course he cannot say that his knowledge is more profound than that of Lu Tseng.
But he was only Zhu Chongjiu's adviser, while Lu Zeng was Zhu Chongjiu's elder.
The two parties were in different positions, so their attitudes towards the same matter would naturally be different.
This explanation made sense, making Zhu Chongjiu smile and nod.
But soon, Zhu Chongjiu's second question came through the wind and rain, and rushed into Liu Ji's ears like thunder, "Is what Bowen learned for the benefit of all people, or is it for the selfish interests of counselor Lin?
Looking at the world, the common people Geometry Gentleman Geometry” "Of course it is the welfare of all people."
Liu Bowen suddenly stopped and his voice suddenly became louder.
This is his bottom line as a Confucian disciple, and no one can question it.
"It's just that Liu and the princes of the General Manager's Mansion have different ways, so it's difficult for them to work together."
"What is the Tao?"
Zhu Chongjiu's voice slowly became louder, and he looked down at Liu Bowen, his eyes full of confusion, "Where is your Tao?
Do you seek Tao for the benefit of all people, or do you want to defend the Tao in your heart and would rather conquer the world?"
All the people push forward water and fire.”
"This" Liu Bowen was speechless again, not knowing how to answer Zhu Chongjiu's question.
He is a devout disciple of Cheng and Zhu, but he will not close his eyes and tell lies.
The actions of the Huaiyang General Manager's Office have obviously deviated from the way of the saints.
But it is an indisputable fact that the people under the rule of General Huaiyang are getting better and better.
If he forced the General Manager to change course, regardless of whether he could expel the Meng Yuan court in the future, he could not even guarantee that the people's lives would remain as they are today, instead of getting worse.
What followed, Zhu Chongjiu's words, were like thunder, "Zhu seems to have told you that in Zhu's eyes, Confucianism, Taoism, even Christianity and Mingjiao are just means, not ends.
Zhu accepts some of them because they can really make people's lives better and rebuild the country.
This is Zhu's ultimate goal.
I feel that my trip was not in vain.
Zhu will only choose means for the purpose, not to defend a certain family's opinion, and forget his own purpose.
Zhu will not let the whole world follow it in order to defend a certain idea.

Sacrifice.
No matter how perfect this concept sounds, the price is too great for Zhu to bear.
You, Liu Bowen, and anyone else in the world are not qualified to let others bear it."
"My minister, my minister, no, that's not what I mean."
Liu Bowen stammered in response amid the thunder and lightning, "My minister was originally motivated by public interest.
Guan Zhong pursued profit and prospered Qi, but after Guan Zhong's uncle Bao died, Duke Huan finally became a sycophant.
The position of overlord was also lost due to the pursuit of profit by the kings and ministers of Qi State.
The lessons learned from the past are the lessons for future generations."
"Who is the traitor?"
Zhu Chongjiu shook his head and asked with a smile, "Everyone in the general manager's office regards the Jingzhou Alliance as a good thing, but only Bowen and Sanyi think it is evil.
Who should Zhu follow?
If Zhu vetoes it, The civil and military officials of the whole government only accept the words of you two.
Bowen, who do you think the traitor in everyone's eyes will be?"
"Lord, my lord said this, this" Liu Bowen was asked and took another half step back, exposing himself to the wind and rain for the third time.
He, Zhang Yi, and Lu Kun, who was not very determined, had a total of three people, but they had to face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
As the lord, Zhu Chongjiu should choose which side to support.
It is very obvious.
If they fight against all opinions for the sake of the three of them, if the choice turns out to be wrong in the future, the three of them will definitely be labeled as traitors and will never be able to take them off.
"Besides, all the disasters in Qi happened after Guan Bao's death."
Zhu Chongjiu took another step and blocked Liu Ji's head with an umbrella.
"How can all the blame for his crimes be pinned on Guan Zhong's head?
Zhu only remembers the sage's saying, micro Guan Zhong , I was sent to the left, but I didn’t listen to the saint’s accusation that he killed Duke Huan.”
"But the root cause of the pursuit of profit was, after all, planted by Guan Zhong himself."
Liu Bowen refused to admit defeat easily, holding on to his neck and fighting to the end.
"If someone stood beside Duke Huan and reminded him of the existence of the bane at any time, would Duke Huan still die miserably?
The reason why the bane is called a bane is that it breaks out in the future instead of in front of the eyes.
If someone cuts it off with all his strength whenever it appears, it will How can it become a curse?"
Zhu Chongjiu suddenly smiled slightly and asked with a bit of expectation.
"My lord, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Bowen was stunned again when he was asked, and asked hesitantly.
"Stay and stare at it.
Remind me of its existence all the time.
If you insist on thinking that it is the cause of disaster."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and extended the invitation very frankly.
"Given the hatred between Wei Zheng and the King of Qin, he can still stay with him to supervise him every day.
It seems that the hatred between Zhu and you is not that great."
Note 1: In official history, Liu Bowen was quickly marginalized soon after the founding of the Ming Dynasty due to his personality.
So much so that he was poisoned to death by Hu Weiyong, but it was difficult to redress his grievances.
It was not until after Hu Weiyong's fall that the true cause of his death was revealed
