Chapter 113 The Truth
"Did I misunderstood just now? Why did I hear the Holy One say that the assessment results have come out?"
Someone looked confused, as if they were doubting life: " Did I miss something? The team competition is over? "
While everyone was confused, the young emperor stood up and proudly announced the truth to everyone: "The real score in this assessment is the third one! The first two tests are not important!"
The emperor's words caused the scene to explode.
"The third assessment, where did the third assessment come from?"
"Ah? Why didn't I see it?"
"When did it start?"
Just When everyone was talking and doubting about life, a group of people walked in from the gate of Daiguo Temple.
The leader was an old man in purple robe, followed by a middle-aged man with a goatee.
There were about ten people behind them, including a pretty girl, an inconspicuous hawker, a burly man, and an old woman with a look that she didn't want to offend.
"Huh? Isn't this old woman the one who suffered the death of her son by the doctor? If he doesn't go to the Yamen to stay, what is he doing here?"
"Maybe she also wants to imitate Yuan Niang, do you want to file a complaint?”
Someone pointed at the old woman.
"The old woman is here, what about Su Dalang? Oops, if only one party is present, Su Dalang will suffer a big loss."
Yan Fusong, who was kneeling in the corner, acting as a quail, caught a sharp glimpse of the woman who looked like a fairy, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his heart.
Could this group of people be the reinforcements she invited?
Yan Fusong looked at the woman gratefully and lovingly.
The woman gave him a sweet smile, which made him feel more confident.
Cui Sanlun, who was holding Wu Shan's long ears, trembled when he saw the old man who was leading the way. His eyes changed from disbelief to that it was like this, and then turned into raging anger.
"Hey, Lao Zhu, it turns out it's you who did it!" Cui Sanlun gritted his back teeth so hard that he made a squeaking sound, and used his hands a little harder, causing Wu Shanchang to scream in agony.
The ministry officials who were watching also recognized the old man.
“It’s Mr. Zhu!”
“Isn’t Mr. Zhu working as a county guard in Nan County? Why did he come back suddenly?” An official looked sad.
This is something that Beijing officials cannot do. Cui Sanlun came back on the front foot, and Master Zhu came back on the back foot.
It is foreseeable that the days after this will be dire straits!
“Ah, it’s really Mr. Zhu!” Compared with the officials who were about to cry but had no tears, the onlookers raised their hands to welcome Mr. Zhu’s return.
"Master Zhu was a Jinshi at the age of nineteen, and later served as the governor of Tong'an, Quanzhou. He was an honest and upright official and was extremely loved by the locals. It is said that when he was transferred and left, he gained several Wanmin Umbrellas ."
"My brother is a businessman and he has been to Nanjun. He said that Mr. Zhu has built water conservancy projects, fought against disasters, repaired colleges, and built school fields. Over the years, the lives of the people of Nanjun have been much better."
"Yes, Mr. Zhu has always attached great importance to academics. When he was in Kyoto, he often gave advice to children. ”
Another aunt answered: "It is easy for a young man to learn from an old man, and it is difficult to take an inch of time lightly. Before I realize the dream of spring grass in the pond, the sound of autumn leaves in front of the steps has already begun. That day, I heard Master Zhu often murmur this poem, and I understood Send my son to school to study.”
"You listened to my advice, so life is better now. Your son was admitted to the scholar examination this year. If you think about it, he will be admitted to the examination in a few years."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, suppressing her thoughts. Desire to show off: "This is all thanks to Zhu Da Man! Without his persuasion, we would not have used our whole family to support my son." Someone smelled something unusual: "What happened this year? Mr. Cui just came back, and Mr. Zhu came back too. Could something big be happening?"
His friend pushed him and said, "Mo Lilie. Mr. Cui and Mr. Zhu even became good friends. Maybe Mr. Cui knew that Mr. Zhu was going to return to Beijing, so he advanced One step back! ”
"It makes sense. Back then, they were stuck together every day, never leaving Meng, and never leaving Meng."
Under the attention of everyone, Mr. Zhu walked up to the Holy Sage, first saluted solemnly, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty. Fortunately, it does not disgrace one’s destiny!”
Fortunately, one does not disgrace one’s destiny? Which fate?
The fate of Nanjun County Sheriff? Or is it the fate of the third assessment?
Everyone present had a vague feeling that the final examiner should be Mr. Zhu.
As expected, the young emperor laughed and said: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear. I think everyone is confused, so you can help everyone clear up their confusion."
"I will obey the holy order." Mr. Zhu turned around. , said loudly.
"This third assessment tests the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules. Confucius proposed benevolence, righteousness, and propriety, and Mencius extended them to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. Dong Zhongshu combined these five for the first time and called them It is an eternal and unchangeable way that continues to this day."
"Etiquette, body, and human affairs. The rules of etiquette are to respect the elders and the younger in an orderly manner, to do things according to the rules, not to commit sexual immorality, not to violate human ethics, to be righteous and respectful, and to have a righteous attitude in the village."
Zhu! The Lord's words made Yan Fusong feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He had a bad guess in his heart and wanted to hide his face and run away.
However, who would care about his mood?
Master Zhu continued unhurriedly: "We have set up a beauty trap at this level. Su Xuanming, Jiang Guanghai, and Su Yunting are all calm. However, Yan Fusong from Songshan Academy and It is not the behavior of a gentleman to engage in sexual immorality with power."
Yan Fusong's face was swollen after being beaten in public. He looked at the beautiful woman who was supposed to be a noble girl in disbelief.
The beautiful lady's smile is still sweet and touching, but her eyes are very cold.
“When Yan Langjun saw my concubine for the first time, his eyes were filled with surprise, but he was afraid of danger and did not dare to step forward. It was not until he found the clan emblem on the carriage that he came to his aid. After saving my concubine, Half push and half give.”
Yan Fusong was stripped naked, and the thoughts buried deep in his heart were nakedly displayed in front of everyone.
In fact, there are few heroes throughout the ages who have not fallen under the trap of beauty.
But Yan Fusong really couldn't get over it. The whites of his eyes rolled up and he fainted after being humiliated in public.
Master Zhu ignored these and continued: "Benevolence: Benevolence is the virtue of everyone's heart. The virtue of heart is conscience, and conscience is the law of heaven, which is to follow the wishes of others. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do. When it comes to people, things should be done for others, not for oneself, with compassion, generosity, gentleness, and benevolence."
Master Zhu nodded slightly at Yuanniang, who had been crying on the ground since they arrived.
"Yuan Niang, you have been wronged."
When Yuan Niang heard these words, she burst into tears and cried loudly: "Please make the decision, Master Zhu, please restore my innocence!"
Wu Shanchang's face turned pale in an instant. Could it be that Li Maocheng's incident was also a trap? !
Wu Shanchang suddenly looked at the old woman, and the words in his ears confirmed his guess.
"Mrs. Cheng, thank you for your hard work."
A smile appeared on the old woman's mean face: "I am willing to serve Mr. Zhu."
