Chapter 1570: Indignation

It was originally a son who did not speak of his father's fault, but even Zhu Zaiyao thought that Zhu Houzhao's funny thing was a bit too much this time, so he couldn't help but say so.

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "The officials in the court all want to make peace in private, but I wonder what His Royal Highness thinks?"

Zhu Zaiyao was silent for a moment, but found it difficult to answer. If he said he supported peacekeeping, as the prince, he would inevitably feel humiliated. But he also knew that if he did not make peace, it was said that the strong man was very powerful and his father's safety could not be guaranteed. Moreover, once his father lost, the face in the palace and the face of the Ming Dynasty would be lost.

Zhu Zaiyao blinked and looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "I wonder what Yafu thinks?"

The ball kicked back to Ye Chunqiu's feet.

Ye Chunqiu said with a stern face: "What is the national humiliation?"

Ye Chunqiu suddenly uttered these four words with a serious face, which made Zhu Zaiyao unexpected. Zhu Zaiyao was stunned for a moment before saying, "Does Yafu think this is a national humiliation? I believe Master Li and the others would definitely want to maintain the royal decency in private. Since it is a private peace, then to the outside world..."

What he wanted to say was that to the outside world, the Ross must have surrendered, so in the eyes of the world, it was just that the strong man did not know the world and did not dare to compete with the emperor, so naturally, there was no shame.

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "I am not talking about this. Your Majesty's behavior is certainly a bit rash, but all the civil and military officials in the court have been deeply favored by the country. Everyone calls themselves a scholar-official, and receives the court's offerings and ate the king's fortune. They should have been loyal to the emperor, but they are fighting for peace. Although doing so, they can privately give benefits to maintain decent, but seeing that the Luos people deliberately threaten them, all the civil and military officials in the court are helpless. Isn't it a shame? After encountering the incident, it is shameless to just maintain this ridiculous dignity. This Ming Dynasty belongs to Your Majesty and the literati. Now even Your Majesty has the courage, why do all the civil and military officials in the court rule the world with the emperor, but there is no courage at all? The literati is shameless."

Ye Chunqiu said this, his eyes sharply and continued unhappily: "The people of the world have given the scholars and officials great reputation. The people use their flesh and blood to support them. The emperor promised them countless gifts. They are the prides of heaven, maintaining the Taoist rule, purge the court, and defending the country. But today I don't think that the nobles of the Dukes today. The scholars and officials would rather be humiliated than show a little courage. This is their great shame. Your Highness, the scholars and officials are shameless, which is a national humiliation."

This sentence made Zhu Zaiyao frightened and slightly stunned. In Zhu Zaiyao's impression, Ye Chunqiu always looked calm and composed. He had never seen Ye Chunqiu's excitement.

The literati and officials are shameless, which is a national humiliation, but it also hits Zhu Zaiyao's heart.

This sentence comes from Gu Yanwu in the late Ming Dynasty. Ye Chunqiu introduced this sentence, which shows that he was quite indignant. The scholars and officials represent the Taoist tradition, defenders and practitioners of morality and court principles, and are also elites carefully cultivated and strictly selected by the country. If such people are weak in encountering things, even have the courage to be as good as the emperor, not as good as those castrated eunuchs, and even worse than ordinary people, then it is not a national humiliation, what is it?

The fall of the Ming Dynasty was just right to respond to the shamelessness of the scholars and officials. Because of shamelessness, they only thought about party struggles in the face of national interests. Because of shamelessness, they always wanted to make a mistake and be in vain. Because of shamelessness, the disaster was coming, and they were suddenly as in a hurry as a dog. Because of shamelessness, the people of the world rose up. Ye Chunqiu was unwilling to say these words to the prince, but today he saw Li Dongyang talking loudly, and he was always safe, but he couldn't help but feel a little indignant.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zaiyao deeply, looked at the person whom he had high hopes, and said, "Your Majesty sometimes acts erratic, sometimes he doesn't know why, and even makes people feel inexplicable, but he also has some courage. Your Majesty does not know the pros and cons. This is his nonsense, but he is not wrong. The emperor should be at peace with the people, otherwise what is the use of the emperor in this world? Why should thousands of people use flesh and blood to support them?"

Zhu Zaiyao was sweating profusely when he heard this. This was definitely a personal attack, and it was a large number of scoldings.

He hurriedly said, "A Father Ah's anger."

"Why am I angry?" Ye Chunqiu suddenly smiled and said, "I just want to tell you that your father is not good, but this is the only thing that is good. The emperor should do so. If His Royal Highness has time, he might as well follow me to go."

"Ah... OK." Zhu Zaiyao originally wanted to say that he should go to see the emperor's grandmother, but after thinking about it, now his father seemed very excited, so it would be better to walk with him.

But what is Yafu going to do?

Zhu Zaiyao didn't understand, but Ye Chunqiu's words left a deep impression on his little heart.

Zhu Zaiyao studied the Four Books and Five Classics. There are many allusions of sacrificing oneself for righteousness in the Four Books and Five Classics. The Hanlin people also appreciate this. However, as Yafu said, many people shouted Confucius as Chengren and Meng as righteousness, but in the end, they shrank in the event of trouble. This is also something that Zhu Zaiyao felt confused.

Yafu's complaints just now may not be unreasonable. He even vaguely felt that Yafu's reason was more correct.

The two left the palace, and Ye Chunqiu asked Zhu Zaiyao to car with him. His face was calm now, not as excited as before, and his eyes became much gentler.

Ye Chunqiu ordered the coachman in the car, "Go to the Honglu Temple."

Honglu Temple?

Zhu Zaiyao was a little surprised. Honglu Temple was the place where foreign guests lived. Of course, King Xing and his son were there. Is Yafu going to find King Xing, or...

He didn't ask much, but instead became calm. Yafu's unmoving appearance gave him a little peace of mind.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage and horse arrived at the Honglu Temple. Ye Chunqiu sat in the carriage and said, "Go to submit a famous post, and say that the prince and me are here to pay homage to the envoy of the Russ."

The coachman answered.

When Zhu Zaiyao heard that Ye Chunqiu was going to pay a visit to the Luosi people, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. What is Yafu going to do? Could it be that he wants to have a private conversation with the Luosi people?

He didn't ask much, and seemed very silent, but he knew that what happened today would be kept in his heart.
