As soon as the prince entered the East Palace gate, several beautiful maids brought basins and towels. He washed his face casually, threw the towel back, and then asked someone to call Sun Huan and Mr. Fang.

After a while, Sun Huan quickly stepped in and did not dare to sit down. Mr. Fang was slowly, the prince frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say it out.

"Sun Huan, how is the matter done?" the prince asked while drinking tea.

Sun Huan quickly bowed his hand to return: "Report to Your Highness, I sent someone to the inn yesterday afternoon to give me a generous gift. At the same time, following Mr. Fang's instructions, I vaguely revealed the situation in the north to the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. They were indeed shocked after hearing this."

"Okay!" The prince slapped the table hard and said happily: "Hahaha, in this way, I see how that little bastard talks to them! Hahaha..."

He happily picked up the tea cup, but found that the tea had been drunk, and he whispered: "Come on, give me tea!"

Mr. Fang frowned slightly, and he was thirsty too...

"Your Highness, you can't hurry up and take your time. What's important is tomorrow's court rituals. Everyone from all over the country will enter the court. Most of these people are full of talents and have great prestige among the people. At that time, as the prince of the Eastern Palace, the emperor will definitely summon you into the palace. Remember to lower your posture and establish a good relationship with them." Mr. Fang persuaded.

"I know." The prince nodded repeatedly.

The maid came up to change him to tea twice, and then he urged: "Sun Huan, please find someone to see the reaction from the Xiao Prince's Mansion to see if that little bastard is furious, hahahaha!"

Mr. Fang quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, the court is the most important thing to judge etiquette. Those trivial matters that are only minor and minor will have no effect on the overall situation."

"I know!" the prince said again, and then continued to say to Sun Huan: "If that little bastard is furious, he must come and tell me immediately! I can't wait for a while!"

Sun Huan nodded repeatedly and wrote down. Mr. Fang opened his mouth next to him, but in the end he said nothing.

......

"Let's go together tomorrow, the guests of Yongyue Pavilion are five-star treatment, so don't waste it." Li Xingzhou said while trying out the new clothes that Gillian bought for him during the day.

Yue'er nodded happily: "Criminal Prince, are there hawthorn slices on Yongyue Pavilion? Or candied haws, yellow peach candied fruit, almond cakes, chestnut cakes, etc...." She pointed her fingers and counted: "If not, I will bring it myself."

Gillian was so funny that she giggled: "There is there, but there is no better place in the royal palace. We took it ourselves."

Yue'er nodded and began to plan other things to bring.

Qiu'er was still leaning on her chin to ponder. Li Xingzhou rubbed her little head with a funny look: "Okay, don't think about it, empty your head and have fun for a day. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I will help you think about it."

Qiu'er then smiled and arranged for what she wanted to bring with Jiao and Yue'er.

Shiyu carefully wrote down everything they said on paper: "It's not reliable to just say it on your lips. It's best to have black and white words, so you won't lose anything you can leave at that time."

"Sister Shiyu is still thoughtful." Gillian praised.

Then she whispered to Li Xingzhou: "Prince, my father and mother will also go to Yongyue Pavilion tomorrow night." She was a little worried when she spoke because Wang Tong had a bad attitude towards him.

"Yes." Li Xingzhou nodded: "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Gillian nodded.

"By the way, tomorrow you can call Qi Fang, who is temporarily resident in the royal palace. She is alone in a foreign land. His father is now a servant of the Secretariat. He will definitely not be able to get out of the palace tomorrow night. It is inconvenient for me to talk about it." Li Xingzhou said.

Gillian nodded: "Don't worry, please leave it to me."

Shiyu was suspicious: "She was really strange. She didn't care if she found a husband who was much younger than her. She lived alone in the palace and was not afraid of gossiping..."

......

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly lively. In addition to the great victory in the south a few months ago, the people were excited and the national celebration was celebrated, and the emperor also called on famous scholars and scholars, Neo-Confucians, and Neo-Confucians to debate in the court.

This is a grand event that can be left in history and is praised by future generations.

The people didn't understand what was going on, but they also joined in the fun. Scholars knew that they all gathered in the capital to see the style.

And those scholars, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Neo-Confucianism, etc., all responded to the call. After all, the temptation to leave a name for history is too great.

Just like in the previous life, Neo-Confucianism, as a faction that unites Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, has gradually emerged and been accepted by people.

......

He got up early on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after morning jogging and training, he prepared to go home, and then worshiped ancestors under Yan Bi's arrangement.

At this time, I just met Chen Yu at the gate of the palace.

The old man was not like in the past, standing by the door blankly, so lost in his mind that he was thinking.

He was probably preparing for the court debate tonight, so he was immersed in the doorstep?

Li Xingzhou thought of going up to bow as usual and then greeting him. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu suddenly turned around and asked, "If you don't follow the laws of nature, you will follow the wishes of others. There is no third situation. Does the prince think it's right?"

Li Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he suddenly said.

Chen Yu sighed, holding the door frame with his left hand and leaning on a crutch with his right hand: "This is what Meng Zhiye, Cheng Jin and other Neo-Confucians proposed. What does the prince think?"

He ignored Li Xingzhou's reaction, then shook his head and sighed, "Alas, they believe that the law of nature will become human beings.

The temperament hinders the normal use of the laws of nature, resulting in evil, which is human desire;

In contrast to human desires, the laws of heaven are pure good, and human desires are pure evil, so they do not follow the laws of heaven and follow the desires of man. There is no third situation... Cheng Jin, Meng Zhiye also said that Confucians must preserve the laws of heaven and get rid of human desires in order to achieve the highest good. What does the prince think?"

After listening to it, Li Xingzhou felt a suffocation in his chest. What should come is coming. Is Confucius unable to escape the disaster after all...

"Mr. Chen, can you go into the house and talk in detail?" Li Xingzhou sighed, Chen Yu nodded, and no longer refused to refuse him to enter.

The invisible imprisonment is more terrifying than the visible ones. Those subtle things can destroy people more.

What imprisoned and hindered the Chinese nation for hundreds of years in the past life was that some people quietly replaced "justice" with "loyalty and righteousness", and turned Confucianism, which was based on "filial piety and brotherhood" into Confucianism that destroyed human nature. Now, it seems that history is like this again...

But what can he do except watch?

Li Xingzhou was very confused because he had never faced such a situation.

If there is economic competition, political competition, and military competition, he is at ease, but if he reaches such a level, the collision of core values ​​and the struggle for intrinsic values, he has no clue.
