Chapter 1: Back (2)
"Young Master, the young lady invites you to go to the cabin for meals." Zhu Yinglong stood at the bow of the boat and pondered. Xiong Zhaolian suddenly appeared, disrupting his thoughts and felt a little unhappy. However, he was not the kind of person who liked to rebel against others. Xiong Zhaolian was also the elder brother he respected, and would not give him any bad faces. So he turned around and replied faintly: "Brother Xiong, you go for meals too, I'll go in a while."
"Yes, but Mr. Bai An?" Xiong Zhaolian hesitated.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt bad and asked, "Are you learning from that stubborn old man Sun Shenxing on a hunger strike?"
"Yes, no, Mr. Bai An did not go on a hunger strike, but Mr. Huang made a fuss about seeing him for several days. I am afraid, afraid..."
"I'm afraid that I will kill him in anger?" Zhu Yinglong raised a smile on his lips. Huang Zongxi, a genius known as the "father of Chinese ideological enlightenment", was about to talk to him carefully to see what surprises he could give himself, and whether he would say the bold words "You are harming the world."
Xiong Zhaolian lowered her head embarrassedly, her face turned slightly red, obviously because Zhu Yinglong was talking about it.
"Let's go and see him together." Zhu Yinglong was a little impatient to remember that he could actually see this "father of Chinese ideological enlightenment" with his own eyes. Such a person who has been passed down through the ages stood in front of him. Can Zhu Yinglong, a boy who is nothing in his later generations excited? Although his current identity is different, he still has not changed.
"Young Master, young lady, she..."
"Don't worry about her, she will eat when she is hungry." Zhu Yinglong pulled Xiong Zhaolian to the bottom cabin of the ship without saying a word. All the gains from this trip to Jiangnan were all in the bottom cabin of the two ships in front and behind.
Although the bottom cabins of these two ships live here, there are great figures who will be famous all over the world, including Li Yingsheng and the family of young people, Huang Zunsu, Huang Zongxi, Zhou Shunchang and his family of young people, as well as Zhang Pu of Fushe and his fellow villager Zhang Cai, known as "Loudong Er Zhang". It's a pity that they were tied up by Zhu Yinglong, and there is no "Five-person Tombstone Record" that is famous all over the world. This is also a big regret, including Yang Lian's son Yang Zhiyi, Wei Xuelian, Wei Dazhong's son, Qu Shisi, who was invited to the middle, and there is also a Western priest Ai Ruluo, who is proficient in firearms, calendars and calculations.
When he met Zhu Yinglong, he was unlucky. Who told him that he was such a person? He burned the church with a torch, and he would come even if he didn't come. The fire was released by the White Lotus Saint Aunt, who regarded Catholicism as a pagan. After setting the fire, Xu Ruying had a debate with Ai Ruluo for nearly half an hour. However, the old saying goes, a good man does not fight with a woman. Xu Ruying is naturally eloquent in being praised as a saint. Moreover, she is a woman, and any wrong reason can be said to be justified. This Ai Ruluo, who is roughly versed in Han culture, is no match for her at all. In addition, Zhu Yinglong was fueling the fire, so he fooled Ai Ruluo.
"You are Mr. Bai An's son, Huang Zongxi, who is known as a child prodigy?" Zhu Yinglong asked directly at the boy who seemed to be his age.
"Yes, it's Huang Zongxi below." The young Huang Zongxi looked at Zhu Yinglong calmly and said.
"Are you clamoring to see me?" He asked slowly sitting down in front of him.
"Yes, you suddenly arrested my whole family. What do you want to do?" Huang Zongxi asked angrily, "And who are you?"
After all, he was still a young man, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Zhu Yinglong sighed in his heart, looked at Huang Zongxi with a smile and asked, "Young Master Huang, I heard that you are knowledgeable and proficient in hundreds of schools. I have a question to ask you, how about it?"
Huang Zongxi sat down and thought for a while, looked up and said, "Okay, please ask."
"Recently, I am thinking about a question. Mencius said: The people are the most important, and the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Since the king is the lightest, why should there be an emperor in this world?" Zhu Yinglong raised the question.
Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment. What is this problem? The three-year-old boy also knew the meaning. It is not important to be gentle. He didn't know why the other party asked such a low-level question, but he still answered cautiously: "The emperor, who defends strong enemies outside and makes people livelihood rich at home and has a strong country inside, is the lord of the world. Although it is lighter than the people and the country, it is indispensable. How can he not do it?"
Zhu Yinglong smiled and asked, "I said something, but how can I be the emperor?"
"Those who are emperors should be close to wise ministers, stay away from treacherous and slanderous, open up the road of speech, be careless of Yaofu, promote water conservancy, seek welfare for the people, make the world benefit, and let the world relieve its harm!" Huang Zongxi said without hesitation.
"A good sentence makes the world benefit and lets the world relieve its harm!" Zhu Yinglong exclaimed. He was so familiar with this sentence. This is the famous line in Huang Zongxi's first chapter of "Yuan Jun" in "Mingyi Zhiwenlu". I didn't expect that Huang Zongxi had such a profound understanding at such an age. No wonder he became a famous thinker and educator in the world in the future.
"Don't dare!" Huang Zongxi looked at Zhu Yinglong's praise without any expression, and asked coldly, "What are you trying to kidnap our family?"
"Because I think you father and son are still talented, I want you to serve me." Zhu Yinglong said lightly.
"You think that you are traitors, you must know that kidnapping the court and kidnapping the people are serious crimes!" Huang Zongxi said sternly.
"Young Master Huang is right. Hijacking the court's serious crimes and kidnapping the people are both serious crimes." Zhu Yinglong nodded and shouted outside the door: "Come here!"
A guard came in and said respectfully to Zhu Yinglong: "Young Master, what's the matter with me?"
"Transfer my order, let Mr. Huang's father go and send a letter to Dongchang!" Zhu Yinglong sneered, your father is in my hands, and you are not afraid that you will not submit.
"Yes, but young master..." The person who had worked hard to catch him was a little unwilling to let go.
"Why don't you go quickly!" Zhu Yinglong shouted sternly.
"Yes!" The guard thought of the commander Xiong Tingbi who was still lying on the bed, and trembled all over and quickly agreed.
"Let's go!" At this time, all beads of sweat as big as soybeans on Huang Zongxi's forehead were coming out. He knew that his father would definitely die once he fell into the hands of the Dongchang, so he weighed the pros and cons, and then stopped the guards walking out.
"Give Zongxi a reason?" Huang Zongxi stared at Zhu Yinglong and asked calmly.
"The reason is that you have no choice!" Zhu Yinglong's cold words suddenly destroyed the last line of defense in Huang Zongxi's heart. He either surrendered completely or lost his father.
"No, I can't agree!" Huang Zongxi suddenly burst out with infinite courage and said angrily, "He cannot let his father's reputation be destroyed in his hands, it is even more painful than killing his father."
"Very good!" Zhu Yinglong suddenly burst into laughter. The door of the room suddenly opened, and Huang Zunsu and Xiong Tingbi, who were beaten into pieces, walked in.
"Dad!" Huang Zongxi said in surprise.
"Zongxi, don't kneel down yet!" Huang Zunsu's face suddenly sank and shouted at Huang Zongxi.
"father!"
"Kneel down!" Huang Zunsu said sternly.
Huang Zongxi did not dare to disobey his father's order, so he had to kneel down and followed Huang Zunsu to Zhu Yinglong and said, "Huang Zunsu, the grass-roots man, brought his son Zongxi to thank Prince Xin for his kindness for saving him!"
"Please get up, please, two!" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly stepped forward and helped.
"Zongxi, don't thank the prince for saving him!" Huang Zunsu hurriedly reminded him when he saw that his son seemed to be stupid.
Huang Zongxi suddenly woke up and hurriedly thanked Zhu Yinglong again.
"Dad, what's going on?" Huang Zongxi asked in confusion.
"Dad has promised to assist Prince Xin to help him eliminate the eunuch party and give the people a bright world." Huang Zunsu explained with a smile, "Dad has actually met Prince Xin last night. After talking late at night, Dad has been moved by the prince's ambitions and decided to go to Kaifeng to help Prince Xin!"
Zhu Yinglong looked at Huang Zongxi with a smile and nodded.
"Dad, why is that prince today..." Huang Zongxi said inexplicably.
"Don't blame your father. In fact, I know your thoughts and character, so I will try it with you!" Zhu Yinglong explained, "It's not that I don't believe what your father said. This matter is not a trivial matter. I only believe in my own eyes. I hope Brother Huang, you don't mind."
"The prince killed me." Huang Zongxi immediately restrained his behavior when he learned that the person in front of him was Prince Xin.
Huang Zongxi and his son returned home, and everything was easy to handle. Li Yingsheng and others successfully became members of Zhu Yinglong's team in the next few days.
