Liu Fei, the King of Yi of Jiangdu, has been visiting Dong Zhongshu every day in recent days, which makes him feel a little annoyed. This arrogant and luxurious prince always interrupts students who are deeply involved in Confucian classics when he teaches himself. It is simply unreasonable.

But after all, he was the King of Jiangdu who occupied the former land of Wu. Dong Zhongshu had no room for refusal. Since he had been the Prime Minister of Jiangdu, he had to serve him. Even if he did not respect him, he still had to act according to the courtesy and be a human being.

Liu Fei treated him very well. Putting aside the arrogant, Liu Fei's approach to being a virtuous man is enough to make him enjoy the pride of a scholar. He not only likes force, but also likes to attract disciples. This is no different from other princes and kings. Even though he is the brother of the current emperor, he made contributions in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and knew that the princes and kings were in great importance, he could not avoid the common people.

As a prince, when he was guarding Jiangdu, Liu Fei knew that Dong Zhongshu was a great Confucian scholar and was able to correct his mistakes with Confucian etiquette. Not only did he not make things difficult for Dong Zhongshu, but he also respected Dong Zhongshu very much.

He adopted a series of governing strategies proposed by Jiangdu Prime Minister Dong Zhongshu, not only changed the arrogant and extravagant and unscrupulous plans of the royal family members in the past, but also kept their duties as ministers and loyal to the emperor and follow their ancestors.

This made Dong Zhongshu add one more content when writing a letter to Liu Che, which was to talk about the implementation of Confucianism in Jiangdu Kingdom.

Although he did not understand the controversy among the hundreds of schools of thought in Liu Che's reply, Confucianism was only the leader, this did not prevent him from admiring Confucianism, but he only had other elements of the theories in his research.

Here, Dong Zhongshu accepted many disciples, and most of these people came from prestigious families. He could imagine that after they learned, Confucianism would bloom everywhere.

Official studies in various places began to add many other contents, including Taoist scriptures, criminal law, Mohism, arithmetic, etc., which surprised Dong Zhongshu, and felt that he was recalled to the capital.

He sighed lightly, turned his thoughts to the present, and opened the paper in his hand. The more Dong Zhongshu looked, the deeper his brows frowned. The King of Jiangdu actually wanted to teach his son Liu Jianxi to read the classics and history, and serve as the lecturer of the Prince of Jiangdu State!

For Liu Jian, the son of Liu Fei, King Yi of Jiangdu, not only did Liu Fei hate him, but he even disliked Dong Zhongshu.

Liu Jian was not old, only twelve years old, but if he talked about him in Jiangdu Kingdom, everyone would be famous and distant. All he did was to do was to have a set of things on the surface. Although he grew up in the palace and lived a pampering life, he was unruly, debauchery, and shameless, and did everything he did.

He was unwilling to teach such a person, so he wrote straight and he was busy with state affairs, focusing on Confucianism and teaching Gongyang Spring and Autumn, and could not help him.

When he opened the door, he found his disciple Lu Bushu right outside the door and said strangely: "Do you have something to do? Why don't you knock on the door?"

"I am afraid that I will disturb the Master, so I waited outside the door. It is not too late to see you after the Master has handled all the affairs!" Lu Bushu said respectfully.

Nodding slightly, Dong Zhongshu said again: "There is priority for everything, and there is no need to be too restrictive. If you make bad things because of etiquette, it is also not good!"

"Disciple has received the teachings!"

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Dong Zhongshu said with a smile.

"The Lord Father Yan has something to discuss with the Master, and will bring his disciples to talk to the Master, and ask him to see you." Lu Bushu said straight to the point.

After gently closing the door and walking down the steps, Dong Zhongshu asked, "Is it the new disciple who worshipped under my sect a few months ago?"

“Yes, Master.”

"He has some knowledge and is very knowledgeable about the art of being wise, but why should he ask you to recommend me if he wants to see me? This person is still a bit too low in self-esteem and is not very close to others.

Forget it, let him wait for me in the book pavilion! I will go over to see him in a while." Dong Zhongshu ordered.

Although Zhufu Yan is a little talented and quick-thinking person, he is a person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits and will revenge flaws. "I don't eat five cauldrons in my life, but I will cook five cauldrons when I die!" This famous saying, which is as famous as "A real man cannot be remembered for a lifetime, but he will be infamous for thousands of years" comes from Zhufu Yan's mouth.

Although Dong Zhongshu admired him, it did not mean that he recognized this disciple. It was just a pity that his views were used to ignore the flaws in his character.

After handing over the reply to the guards and asking him to send it to the Jiangdu Palace on his behalf, Dong Zhongshu took a break and went to the Book Pavilion again. He didn't like others waiting for him very much, so he always made an appointment in advance.

But after arriving at the book pavilion, I found that the master Yan was already waiting here. This young man with a plain and slightly thin appearance sat upright.

"Master Yan, you came so early, others thought I was late!" Dong Zhongshu said with a smile.

"The Master has always been punctual, so what kind of guess is there? I'm afraid I'm laughing at my master Yan's stupidity."

After a moment of silence, Dong Zhongshu shook his head and said, "Your master Yan is not stupid, but he is too confined to reputation. If you put down your posture and put aside your obsession, no one will be in trouble with you."

"Master, please stop talking about me. I have never been understood by the princes and kings. I know that my talents are insufficient, so I learn from my master!" Master Yan said with a wry smile.

"I won't talk about the past, let's talk about the present. By the way, Master Yan, what are you going to discuss with me?" Dong Zhongshu turned his head and asked inquiring.

"I wonder what my master thinks about the incest and moral loss of the princes and princes, the brothers and sisters, the sons and fathers' concubines, etc.?"

As soon as the master Yan opened his mouth, he moved out a powder keg and asked Dong Zhongshu directly.

"This disaster has been happening since ancient times, and our dynasty is also becoming more and more intense. I have formulated the theory of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues earlier. The content is directed to this, and Your Majesty also agrees with this." Dong Zhongshu was unwilling to say more, so he avoided the important and said lightly.

"According to my disciples, these people should be insulted by the world. How different are these behaviors from animals? The princes and kings are extravagant and destructive, and they are in a great position. They are not good for the country and the people. Their deaths are not enough to vent my anger. They should entrust the order to entrust the feudal and give up their grace, and borrow..."

"Stop!" Dong Zhongshu looked around and shouted loudly.

The discrimination that traveled to various vassal states in the past was turned into a sword of verbal talk and was constantly spoken from the mouth of the Lord's Father Yan, but unfortunately it was interrupted by Dong Zhongshu.

"No, what the disciple wants to talk about is to give grace order, this is OK..."

"No more talk!" Dong Zhongshu choked back the plan of Master Yan's favor without knowing it.

Although he was kind, the master Yan, who had long been troubled by poverty and discrimination, became petty in his heart. He felt resentful to Dong Zhongshu, who interrupted him repeatedly and did not understand him.
