Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 386 Doubts

……

"Master Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi, who had doubts in his heart, approached Zhao Zheng and wanted him to answer the questions in his heart.

On the way to find Zhao Zheng, I heard from my subordinates that Zhao Zheng was playing with a few pieces of charcoal and white cloth on the school ground where the palace guards practiced.

It made him think that in this snowy weather, Zhao Zheng might be in love with the snow and was planning to engage in literary creation.

The calligraphy treasure of the Zhao family!

When King Zhou thought of this, he only had the word "want" in his mind.

Then he thought that if he used charcoal, it might be Zhao Zheng's unique technique, but if he used white cloth, it would be too cheap.

So he specially ordered his subordinates to find fine silk and rice paper.

Only these two things are worthy of the Zhao family's calligraphy treasures.

Didn't my father say that he was not good at running the palace? It just so happened that this time he was saving some treasures for future generations.

King Zhou is not very suitable to be a prince, but he is not stupid. He knows that in the upper class circles, the popularity of Zhao's works is certainly not much worse than the exaggerated forms of folk legends.

Even if they are not valuable now, the calligraphy treasures of the Zhao family that have been produced by saints will definitely be priceless in the future.

And I have to be the first person to eat crabs!

When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that Zhao Zheng was not creating anything at all.

Zhao Zheng just nailed the white cloth to the wooden board, and then drew a few simple arrow graffiti from small to large, allowing people to stand at different distances to express whether they could see clearly.

Is this a test of eyesight?

Zhu Xie looked at the silk in his hand, and then at the rice paper in his subordinate's hand, feeling a little confused.

He wanted to convince himself that the arrows Zhao Zheng drew on the white cloth had ulterior motives and were an art he did not understand.

"Test your eyesight."

Zhao Zheng pointed at the guard standing ten feet away, and then began to use his hands from big to small to ask the guard to call out the direction, confirming Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi's guess.

"Test your eyesight?"

Zhao Zheng's affirmation broke Zhou Wang's self-strategy, but also made Zhu Zhi even more confused.

In addition to archers and scouts, and similar professions such as Jinyiwei, what other professions require such a vision from ten feet away?

Could it be that Zhao Zheng had to prepare in advance because this disaster was prone to chaos?

Thinking of this, he felt uneasy.

During the previous flood, I was accused even though I was in Caiyun.

Now that my people are in my palace, if something goes wrong, that's okay!

Originally, I was often impeached by those officials, saying that I was not doing my job properly...

"Your Majesty, I'm just testing the appropriate size of words when Mr. Sir is giving lessons to the villagers."

Zhao Zheng saw the change in King Zhou's expression out of the corner of his eye and knew that he was probably overthinking again, so he quickly gave the correct answer.

All of Lao Zhu’s cubs are really difficult to get along with.

Either he is a dragon and phoenix like King Yan, or he is a bastard like King Qin, or he is a talented person like King Zhou who is not good at being a prince but can do the remaining 359 professions.

When King Zhou heard these words, he finally felt relieved, because he just remembered that his father's letter said that the Zhao Mansion would hold a white flag to gather the hearts of the people.

white flag?

Gather people's hearts?

Who in the world would raise a white flag?

My father must be overly worried. During the disaster in Nanhe Prefecture, the king of the Central Plains raised the white flag as a helpless move. If he really needs to use the white flag as his flag on weekdays, wouldn't it be unlucky?

The doctor is kind.

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi can't rely on Zhao Zheng to be rebellious anyway, because he now feels that what Zhao Zheng said before that they are the same kind of people is so right!

Look what Zhao Zheng is doing now?

He can even notice such details!

In fact, this is also the fault of Emperor Zhu Chongba.

It is true that King Zhou is his son, but in a more sense, he is just one of his princes.

In his letter to the King of Zhou, Emperor Zhu Chongba did not directly say that Zhao Zheng was going to rebel. He just asked him to pay attention not to let Zhao Zheng raise his white flag to gather people's hearts. He must capture the people's hearts in his own hands so that he can be immortalized forever.

As for the remaining details, Emperor Zhu Chongbaquan left it to Jin Yiwei.

It's a pity that Emperor Zhu Chongba forgot that Jin Yiwei was also a human being.

Because of their training model, they may never rebel against Emperor Zhu Chongba.

But Zhao Zhengke never said that he wanted to rebel.

Everything he and his puppet show in front of others is like a puddle of water.

The main theme is that a gentleman has no regard for his deeds and his heart.

"Master Zhao is interested. Xiao Wang happens to have good rice paper and silk here. Let's try replacing them."

Zhou Wang Zhu Xie figured it out and took the initiative to hand over the rice paper and silk he had just prepared. He still wanted a piece of calligraphy.

Zhao Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, so he naturally refused.

"No need, Your Majesty. White cloth is the most suitable. It's cheap and durable, and you won't feel bad if it gets used up."

"If this piece of rice paper and this piece of silk were replaced with white cloth, it would probably be enough for the imperial court's relief grain to arrive."

Zhao Zheng smoothly called back the Jin Yiwei who was standing far away.

Then he handed the data he had just recorded into the hands of King Zhou, his face full of sincerity.

"My lord, the rest will be left to you."

"Master Zhao is interested."

Look at how sensible Zhao Zheng is in front of him!

King Zhou originally thought that if Zhao Zheng recorded such a thing, he must have personally supervised it. After all, being an official was not about fame and gain, so what else could it be for.

The originally reasonable fame and fortune does not fundamentally conflict with whether a person is a good official.

Even he, the prince, is not exempt from vulgarity.

So Zhao Zheng should save some credit for himself no matter what.

but now……

He simply handed it over to his hands, with no intention at all.

saint!

This is the temperament spread throughout the Holy Palace!

King Zhou became a little excited when he thought of this.

He wanted to learn, even though he knew he couldn't.

But if you can learn a thing or two, that’s enough!

"Master Zhao, Xiao Wang just had some doubts..."

In a very timely manner, he finally remembered his original purpose of coming to Zhao Zheng, which happened to be related to his state of mind at this time.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. It's just these data. It's better to have someone convey them to the gentlemen first."

"Okay, come... people! Master Zhao, please come here!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi directly called his men.

During this process, seeing the traces of pen and ink on Zhao Zheng's hand, and then looking at the data written by him in his own hand, King Zhou already had some understanding.

How can such a big family not produce a saint? They seem to be doing it themselves.

Thinking of this, his tone stopped for a moment.

……

Returning to the main hall, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi told the common man who had called him earlier and the violent reaction he had after talking to him, as well as the doubts in his heart.

"Please ask Mr. Zhao to clear up the confusion!"

What a polite child, Zhao Zheng was very moved when he heard this sentence.

Because Emperor Zhu Chongba had never been so polite when asking questions.

Prince Zhu Biao used to be like this, but since he began to supervise the country, he began to secretly play yin and yang.

"I don't dare to explain my doubts. I just want to ask the prince a question, or make a hypothesis."

"Master Zhao, it's okay to say so."

"Excuse me, does Your Majesty like reading?"

When Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi heard this question, he thought Zhao Zheng was asking him what classics he knew, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"On weekdays, the young king spends most of his time with the gentlemen in the house dabbling in music and medicine. He doesn't know many classics."

It was no wonder that Zhao Zheng heard this. No wonder that when King Zhou asked him to answer his questions this time, he was so natural and without any hesitation.

It seems that he and the gentlemen in his house often discuss various matters on weekdays, otherwise he would not be able to write any medical works belonging to him in the future.

that……

Why couldn't Zhao Zheng have an idea? Looking at the King of Zhou in front of him, he suddenly had the urge to make up for the tiredness of being with King Yan and the prince.

I want to ask who are the people in this era who are easiest to accept and understand his ideas.

First of all, you must have a broad vision, or at least be well-informed.

Jin Yiwei naturally meets this condition.

In the Zhao Mansion School, the group of students who followed Li Jin under him also fit the bill.

But in front of him, Zhu Zhi, the prince who was born with armor, was more suitable.

By the way, there is another person who is also very consistent, and even meets all the remaining conditions, and he is the kind that can’t be met any more——

Emperor Zhu Chongba.

But when he thought of that fierce old face, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but shudder. Then he looked at Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi in front of him and quickly stopped his thoughts of trying to encourage others.

But it’s not an exaggeration to sow a seed.

"The great road is hidden in the world."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be obsessed with classics. If you really want to read a classic, I can recommend a classic to you. The answer you want to pursue is also in it."

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhao!"

Find out for yourself! The way to sanctification! What a classic it will be!

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi thought that Zhao Zheng understood what he meant, and he was very happy and his face turned red.

You are about to know the secret of why there are so many sages in the Zhao family.

Even if you only know a thing or two, as long as you can learn a thing or two, even if your father does not agree with you, and those officials do not agree with you, future generations will eventually discover your shining point.

Future generations will remember you!

The centurion of the Jinyi Guards who had been following Zhao Zheng closely at the side also felt excited at this moment. He quickly used his brain to prepare what Zhao Zheng would say next to be engraved into his mind.

Don't say it, don't say it!

Mr. Zhao, if you tell me, I will arrest you.

But please tell me quickly, I also want to learn.

"This classic is the Book of Rites."

After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, the king of Zhou and the centurion of Jinyiwei finally...

They all fell back instantly and split into several pieces.

Because this classic is not a record of other things, but the Collection of Confucius' Shengyan.

Book of Rites? Sanctification? rebel?

At this moment, the eyes of King Zhou and the centurion of Jin Yiwei collided.

Even though what they were thinking at this moment was different, their doubts were the same.

Because if you ask any scholar, they will know what the Book of Rites is and what it is used for.

Moreover, although their father and emperor were using this thing, they all knew from the bottom of their hearts that Emperor Zhu Chongba hated this thing.

"Master Zhao?"

King Zhou wanted to know why, whether Zhao Zheng had made a mistake.

But Zhao Zheng shook his head and just smiled.

"The path of the great road is also to ensure that the world is for the common good, select the worthy and capable, maintain trust and cultivate harmony. Therefore, we do not only care for our relatives, nor do we only have children for our children. Let the old have their end, the strong be useful, the young be prosperous, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled. Everyone has something to support. Men have their share, and women have their own home."

"Goods are thrown away on the ground, so there is no need to hide them in oneself; power is evil because they do not come from the body, and there is no need to do it for oneself. This is why people seek to close the door but do not prosper, and thieves do not commit theft, so they do not close the door to the outside. This is called Datong.”
