    Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the difference between the benevolence of saints, the benevolence in books, the benevolence in our hearts, and the benevolence that the people of the world need?"

    Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "The benevolence of saints and the benevolence of books require us to love others and have compassion. Therefore, when you see Mongolian prisoners doing hard labor, you will love others and feel compassion."  They say that what I did was unkind, and that I should use kindness to influence them. But I want to ask you, the people of Datong need this kind of universal love for the murderers who destroyed their homes and killed their relatives.  And compassion?¡±

    After hearing this question, everyone fell into deep thought, but Zhu Youxiao said loudly before they could figure it out: "The answer is very simple, they don't need to love others so much, and they don't need such compassion, because they  Our ancestors have lived in the border towns for generations, and they have endured the plunder of the Tartars for generations. If you go to the border towns and ask questions, you will know that between the people of the border towns and the Tartars, every family has a deep hatred, and every household has a blood debt.  So if, as you said, I do not punish these Mongols, but use kindness to influence them, then not only the Mongols will laugh at our stupidity, but the people in the border towns will be heartbroken. I would like to ask you, let the enemy  Ridiculing and making your own people sad, what kind of benevolence is this?"

    Lu Xiangsheng said with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "What your Majesty said is indeed reasonable, but as your Majesty said, doesn't it mean that the saint's words are wrong?"

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Of course the sage's words are correct. To live between heaven and earth, one must have a heart of benevolence. Otherwise, everyone's heart is like a snake and a scorpion. What's the difference between humans and animals?"

    Ning Xi's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that she had caught Zhu Youxiao's loophole, and said loudly: "Since the saint's words are correct, what's wrong with being kind to those Mongolian prisoners? We, the scholars,  The words of the saints should prevail, and the people of the world should also be taught by the saints. If we violate the words of the saints just because we are afraid that the people will be dissatisfied, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

    Ning Xi's words immediately aroused the approval of many people, and Niu Hao immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, the students feel that Ning Xiandi's words are very reasonable. The people of the world should follow the teachings of the saints. How can it be just for one's own benefit?"  Are you going against the words of the sage if you have a personal grudge? Your Majesty should be kind to foreigners, and the people should also take the overall situation into consideration. Only in this way can we show our magnanimity of China!"

    After hearing this, most of the scholars thought that what Ning Xi and Niu Hao said was right. However, because Zhu Youxiao was present, they did not discuss it much, but the approval on their faces was obvious!

    But there are a few people like Lu Xiangsheng who frown slightly, obviously not agreeing with this statement, but they can't find anything to say to refute it!

    Zhu Youxiao smiled calmly and said: "Excuse me, everyone, if I treat the Mongolian captives kindly in order to show the benevolence of the saint, how should I explain the saint's words of repaying grievances directly?"

    As soon as this question came out, everyone in the audience was stunned. Those scholars who were happy just now were dumbfounded now!

    yes!

    The sage said that he should love everyone, and the inferior sage also said that he should have compassion!

    ¡°But the sage also said that we should repay grievances directly, so what should we do?

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the group of scholars and said: "I tell you, in fact, this is not a contradiction, because the benevolence mentioned by the sage is originally imposed on those close to us, and the sage's repaying grievances directly is also originally said.  It¡¯s aimed at our enemies! Just like the question I asked you at the beginning, if someone killed your parents and raped your wives and daughters, would you still be kind enough to forgive the murderer and treat the murderer kindly? "

    "I understand!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly jumped up and said: "We people are used to being aloof. We are not close to the people, and we don't know how hateful the Tartars are. So when we saw the Tartars suffering, we did not hurt the Ming Dynasty because of them.  We hate the people of the Ming Dynasty, but we feel compassion because we see them suffer. If we regard the people of the Ming Dynasty as our own relatives, this kind of thing will never happen.  It¡¯s right to report complaints directly, but what¡¯s wrong is us corrupt people who don¡¯t distinguish between close friends and distant friends, and who don¡¯t distinguish between good and evil!¡±

    "Alas!" Ning Xi also sighed and said: "So that's it, the saint wants us to love our relatives and people, and directly face the enemies who harm our relatives and people, but we got it completely wrong.  You love the enemy, but you hurt the people. They say that after ten years of hard work, it seems that they have all been read into the dog's belly!"

    Having said this, Ning Xi's eye circles turned slightly red, and he bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, today the student knows that your Majesty's talent is far superior to that of the student. I have offended you many times before, so please forgive me!"

    Zhu Youxiao looked at Ning Xi with a look on his face.He looked like a real person, smiled slightly, clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Brother Ning Xian and I are just having an intellectual dispute, and it's not to say that we are offended. Instead, Brother Ning Xian is straightforward and outspoken, which makes me admire and like him very much!"  "

    Ning Xi couldn¡¯t help but blush slightly after being praised by Zhu Youxiao. She sat back in a panic, lowering her head and not daring to look at Zhu Youxiao anymore!

    Ning Shiwei was completely stunned at the side. At this time, he only felt that there were ten thousand unknown beasts running around in his mind!

    What did the emperor just say?

    Hi  Hi  Like?

    The emperor said he likes my sister?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    If dad finds out about this, will he be beaten to death?

    ? Then do you still need to ask?

    Of course he must die!

    Not only will he be beaten to death, he will probably be quartered and his bones will be scattered to ashes.

    I don¡¯t want to say where Ning Shiwei was imagining the scene where he was beaten to death by his father. It¡¯s just that a group of scholars acted as if they were enlightened, real or fake, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao, saying disgusting compliments.

    Of course Zhu Youxiao knows that among these people, Lu Xiangsheng is the only one who can truly understand the meaning of his words. Others may be able to understand, but most of them are just perfunctory!

    "As Lu Xiangsheng said, these scholars are used to being aloof. They don't know the hardships of the people, and they can't treat the people as relatives, let alone understand the sufferings of the people. Now they can be so respectful. To put it bluntly, they are just giving face to themselves as the emperor!

    But when you think about the fact that most of these people are going to take the imperial examination and become officials in the future, you can only imagine what a group of people who don't regard the common people as human beings can do if they become officials!

    Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, the look on his face was even more lonely!

    Suddenly, a feeling of loneliness and powerlessness arose deep in Zhu Youxiao's heart, and he asked himself a question for the first time!

    Such a huge empire!

    Such a rotten group!

    I am running towards the cliff in an unstoppable state. Can I stop it with my own strength?

    But at the next moment, Zhu Youxiao¡¯s eyes were ignited with fighting spirit again!

    Taizu once said that there is endless joy in fighting against heaven, endless joy in fighting against earth, and endless joy in fighting against people!

    Since God sent me to this world, I should have a good fight with heaven, earth and people!

    Once the knot in his heart was untied, Zhu Youxiao's spirit was suddenly shaken, and a scornful aura naturally spread out, making everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but lower their heads deeply!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
