Chapter 42: Shocking!
Zhu Zhen is the weird one among many brothers.
This kid is timid, cowardly, and a bit effeminate.
My predecessor used to look down on him.
"Old Shi is not sensible, so don't be as knowledgeable as him." Zhu Zhen said, "I will persuade him to give up the compensation!"
Zhu Jun was stunned, this kid is quite sensible.
Although the two of them don't have much contact with each other, Zhu Zhen is definitely easy to get along with. Apart from being cowardly and timid, he doesn't have any bad habits.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so just stop interfering!" Zhu Jun hooked his shoulder and said, "Let's go eat together."
Zhu Zhen blushed and lowered his head, "Okay, okay..."
"You old man, why are you blushing?" Zhu Jun saw that his ears were completely red and was speechless, "Old man, you have to change your shy and timid temper."
"No one has ever hooked up with me. Even Lao Shi and the others are not willing to take me to play!"
Concubine Guo Ning did not like this younger son because he was timid and had the temperament of a girl since he was a child. Concubine Guo Ning had humiliated him with words.
Since then, Zhu Zhen has become the little transparent among the brothers, and his temperament has become more and more cowardly and feminine.
"Then I'll play with you from now on!" Zhu Jun said, "But you have to get rid of your blushing habit first!"
"Really?" Zhu Zhen looked hopeful.
"When have I, Zhu Jun, ever deceived anyone?" Zhu Jun smiled and rubbed his head, "Besides, you are my brother!"
"Thank you, thank you Sixth Brother!" Zhu Zhen was extremely excited.
He has always been someone else's tail. His father doesn't like him, his mother doesn't care for him, and even his younger brother looks down on him.
No one has ever cared about him or cared about him.
Not even a little bit of attention.
So Zhu Jun just gave him a little affirmation, and he felt like he was flying with joy.
"Thank you, Brother Six will protect you from now on!"
One hero has three gangs, and King Yan's malice made Zhu Jun realize that he must have his own power to withstand unknown risks.
Zhu Zhen, the younger brother, is weak, but he should be able to save one or two things, right?
Zhu Yingxiong looked at Zhu Gaozhi and muttered: "Gaozhi, you have to lose weight, otherwise, I won't be able to hook your neck!"
Zhu Gaozhi:......
...
In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath and concentrated.
Song Lian and others are reading the article carefully.
Each article is read by at least three people to ensure fairness.
Because the names are obscured, I don’t know who is who.
But these are all the students they teach, and some people's handwriting can be recognized at a glance.
"In this article, benevolence and benevolent government are good!" Song Lian recognized Zhu Yingxiong's words at a glance, and immediately read the content loudly, attracting others to watch.
"I think this article can be rated as first-class!" Song Lian said.
"Yes, it is indeed a first-class work!" Wei Guan and others nodded in agreement.
"Submit to Your Majesty!" Song Lian personally handed the article to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang recognized whose handwriting it was at a glance, and couldn't help but read it carefully. Soon, he smiled and said: "This little monkey, my true biography is indeed a masterpiece!"
After that, he even wrote an ‘A-grade medium work’ with his own pen!
Everyone continued to read the articles, but in order to protect the poor students, Song Lian also gave some with poor writing a C grade.
Wei Guan and others also tacitly agreed.
This is not an imperial examination, so there is no need to meet the requirements.
If there are a large number of Class Cs, it will be a slap in their own face.
Li Yanxi shook her head, feeling ashamed of this kind of 'humanity'.
But he didn't say anything. Since this was the case, he could also save Zhu Jun.
Soon, other articles by Zhu Ti and Zhu Bor were also selected. Although they were not very good, they were also classified as second-class.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied.
I just don’t know what kind of articles Lao Liu can write.
But with the help of Dasun, it shouldn’t be too bad, right?
At this time, Li Yanxi turned to the eye-catching article.
No need to guess, this must have been written by Zhu Jun.
He sighed secretly in his heart, and then looked seriously.
"What is benevolence, forbearance?"
Li Yanxi stroked his beard and said, "This topic is quite interesting, but I don't know how to write it!"
Then, he looked down and saw that although the writing was terrible, he could barely make it out.
The first sentence stunned Li Yanxi.
"When you are alive, you have to learn to be patient and tolerant before you act!"
"That's good!" Li Yanxi nodded. Be a good person before doing things, and being a good person is the way to go!
He continued reading: There was once a question: What is benevolence in a person's life?
The answer is: It is forbearance.
In ancient times, there was a king who lay down on his firewood and tasted his gall, and finally avenged his humiliation and destroyed his enemy!
A famous general was humiliated on his crotch and worked hard to become stronger!
Ancient historians endured humiliation and wrote "Historical Records", creating an eternal masterpiece for historians!
A little forbearance makes a great benevolent person!
Therefore, benevolence is human and forbearance!
It’s about not forgetting your original intention after going through hardships.
It is the rainbow after the storm.
Empty talkers only pay lip service.
Those who work hard do not talk about benevolence.
Because they are silently enduring the thorns on the road to the 'benevolent' ones!
Therefore, I feel that when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions.
....
"It's a good saying that great responsibilities will be bestowed upon people by heaven!" Li Yanxi slapped her thigh suddenly, her eyes were shining, and she was holding this article as if she had found a treasure.
Although the article is immature, the core idea is definitely quite tricky.
This is an article criticizing hypocrisy.
This article simply touched his heart.
Especially that sentence, he was very sure that he had never seen this sentence in a book.
In other words, this was written by Zhu Jun himself.
He was so excited that he trembled all over, "Wow, it's so well written. A truly benevolent person will definitely go through hardships before he can achieve kindness."
At this time, Li Yanxi is more like an old child who has obtained something he loves.
His happy look immediately attracted Song Lian and others.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang became interested. He walked directly to Li Yanxi and asked: "Whose article can make Yu'an amazed?"
He gathered around and was stunned when he saw the article in Li Yanxi's hand, "This character... is a ghost-drawing talisman written by Lao Liu?"
"Your Majesty, this article is so well written, it is definitely a top-notch work!" Li Yanxi said.
Song Lian took the article and read it carefully. After reading it, he was confused.
"Scholar Song, please give me an evaluation." Wei Guandao.
"This, this article..." Song Lian gritted his teeth and said: "It must not have been written by the King of Wu. The sentence in it that heaven will confer great responsibilities to people... was not written by him!"
Wei Guan and others frowned, and immediately took the article and circulated it, which confused them all.
Gui Yanliang said: "This is indeed a rare article. The book quotes classics, and the sentence "Heaven will confer great responsibilities to people" is simply a golden sentence that will be passed down through the ages.
It coincides with the theme of the article and criticizes hypocritical benevolence and righteousness.
