When thinking about the reward, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the objections of the ministers and insisted on ranking him first among the six princes. He believed that for this huge reward, Zhu Yuanzhang was sincerely grateful to him for his contributions over the years, but at the same time

It also gave him a warning, you have become a very popular minister, you have achieved success and fame, and the world is stable. I don’t need your company anymore. Just accept it when you see fit!

He should have thought long ago that an emperor who was determined to imitate the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty would be so indulgent to his heroes. It was because he was so old and confused that he still had a chance to hope that he would be assisting a wise monarch like Tang Zong and Song Zu.

Nowadays, a hero is a hero after all. Zhu Chongba, are you forcing me to retreat?"

Li Shanchang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He glanced at the "Han Feizi" on the table and recited loudly: "The way of a wise king is that ministers must not make improper statements. Therefore, the rewards of a wise king are as warm as the rain, and the people benefit from them."

; His punishment is as fearful as thunder, sacred and incompetent

Explanation. Therefore, a wise ruler neither rewards nor pardons and punishes. Rewarding and punishing will make meritorious ministers help their achievements; pardoning and punishing will make traitorous ministers easy to do wrong. Therefore, sincerity has merit, even if it is neglected and lowly, it will be rewarded; sincerity has fault, even if it is close, it will be rewarded.

Love will be punished. Those who are sparse and humble will be rewarded. Those who love close will be punished. Then those who are sparse and humble will not be lazy, and those who love close will not be arrogant.

Xiao Yun's family entered the Confucius Temple. The Nanjing Confucius Temple is a layout of the front temple and the back school. The Confucius Temple, the Academy and the Gongyuan on the east side (the examination room where scholars are admitted through examinations) form three major cultural and educational ancient building complexes. Therefore, in front of the Confucius Temple there is

It consists of a screen wall, Lingxing gate and east and west archways. There is a semicircular pool in front of Lingxing gate, which is called

It is called "Panchi". Panchi is a unique shape of the Confucius Temple, which originated from the Zhou Dynasty. The Confucius Temple carved the Qinhuai River into Panchi, which is the only remaining example of using the Tianming River as a Panchi. The north bank is a stone fence with

At the "Tianwenshu" archway, visitors can rest on the railings and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River.

Because in ancient times, Confucius must be worshiped when establishing a school, and the Confucius temples in various places are part of the national sacrificial rituals. Therefore, those who enter the Confucius temple must first bow and worship the "Holy Master Confucius Shrine" placed in the temple.

, and then worshiped in turn the white marble statues of the "Four Ya Saints", Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, Kong Ji, and Meng Ke standing on both sides of the Confucius tablet.

Xiao Yun was really not interested in these things, so he paid three obeisances to the tablet of Confucius. When he remembered that there were seventy-two sages behind him, he suddenly felt dizzy and found an excuse to leave the temple.

The little princess, Xie Lanlan and others did not stop him for the first time, and allowed him to leave the temple and wander around for a while. The Confucius Temple was surrounded by towering ancient trees besides the temple. It was really boring. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly

I heard a quiet sound near the Confucius Temple

There were two people standing in the bamboo forest. One of them had a hand on his back, and the other hand had a long beard. He chanted slowly: "Master, who are you?"

The phoenix sighs and feels unwell, hurting Lin and complaining about the poor way. Looking at the two couplets today, it should be the same as in the dream. "

"My God, who is this? Seeing the old man Confucius, he became so poetic?" Xiao Yun muttered to himself, and with curiosity in his heart, he walked over.

At this time, the sun is shining obliquely. Although the bamboo forest is covered by towering ancient trees and there is no sunlight, the sunlight is everywhere. It still shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the bamboo leaves, just like the stars twinkling at night. It is very interesting?

"It's so wet, it's such a wet song -?" Xiao Yun clapped his hands and shouted as he walked over.

The man turned around slowly and his body suddenly shook.

Xiao Yun was also shaken.

The two of them shouted at the same time: "Brother Liu, Brother Xiao——?"

This person was none other than Liu Bowen. Ever since the last conversation ended, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him had cooled down. He was naturally aware of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude because of his delicate mind, but he still didn't know where the problem was. He struggled

His thinking was fruitless. Later, he thought about the conversation he remembered and word by word, and finally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Why did the attitude change like this? What the emperor wants is not a prime minister, but an obedient person. He hates evil and has an upright temperament. Naturally, he is not the best candidate for the emperor. A person who is useless to the emperor, what else is worth the emperor's expense?

After trying his best to win over and understand all this, the mystery in his heart was solved, which made him feel much more relaxed.

Now that he had resigned from his official position, he was handed over to Yang Xian as the imperial censor Zhongcheng. As the saying goes, without an official position, he is light-hearted. He is also happy to visit the mountains and rivers in Jinling, write articles, and pay homage to famous people and monuments.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Brother Liu's literary talent is still so good? No wonder he is admired by literati all over the world? I can't write such poems?" Xiao Yun was extremely happy when he saw Liu Bowen, and walked over with a haha.

I haven’t seen him for more than a year. Apart from his paler complexion and a few strands of white hair around his ears, Liu Bowen has not changed much. He is dressed in a green Taoist robe, a purple bamboo stick, and his beard and eyebrows are white. He really looks like a fairy.

The feeling of bone.

Liu Bowen also seemed extremely happy. He laughed loudly and walked forward and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder. He said with a smile: "Why did I smell a smell of irritation from so far away? I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Xiao?"

"It's so sexy, it's clearly masculine. If you don't believe it, ask the woman in the temple. When you meet your brother, he will definitely smell like a man!"

The two laughed again.

The two of them sat down at a round stone table in front of them. The bookboy Liu Qing went there for a while and got a teapot, teacup and a few snacks from the Confucius Temple on the round table, and then retreated.

The two had not seen each other for many days, and each recounted what they had seen and heard in the past year or so. When Xiao Yun talked about the battle with Wang Baobao on the battlefield, which finally made Wang Baobao flee, Liu Bowen laughed heartily, and Liu Bowen talked about the situation in the court.

The situation and what happened to Li Shanchang over the past year made Xiao Yun sigh.

The two of them talked and laughed, and finally they inevitably talked about the current situation. Their hearts sank and their expressions became ugly.

Liu Bowen sighed and said: "Li Shanchang has not been in court for more than ten days. The emperor personally ordered the six ministries to send memorials, notes, consult memorials, review memorials, and deal with national affairs. This has been going on every day for more than ten days. The emperor is like this

"Yuezu Substitute" "Ah, poor Li Shanchang has been shrewd all his life, but he can't see through it - this time, I'm afraid he will suffer a loss!"
