    The so-called literary society is a group of scholars, and then in the name of literary friends, each member gathers at a bar to eat and drink together, and show off their knowledge. Originally, the literati in the south loved doing this kind of thing, because the south is a gathering of people.  , there are also many scholars, so one city and one county can gather quite a few people.

    But it¡¯s different in the north, because since the Northern Song Dynasty, the northern provinces have been either occupied by the Khitans or the Jurchens. Later, after the Yuan Dynasty, the literary style in the north has actually declined a lot.

    During the Hongwu Dynasty, there was an earth-shattering imperial examination case because all the candidates on the imperial examination list were southerners. In the end, even Lao Zhu had no choice but to create a system that was discriminatory against northern candidates, but was happily accepted.  The north and south list!

    It is precisely because the literary style in the north is weak that scholars in the north rarely hold literary meetings. However, there are always exceptions. Beijing was the economic, political, and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty, so there were many scholars gathered all year round. Most of these people  They are candidates who have failed in previous exams, or candidates who are preparing to take the exam for the next subject, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are children of wealthy families.

    After all, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing¡¯s consumption level was not unusually high. Ordinary people would not dare to hang around here all year round. Precisely because there are such a group of wealthy, leisurely, and knowledgeable scholars, Beijing¡¯s city  It¡¯s not uncommon to hold art conferences or other events every now and then.

    Today, Ning Shiwei and the others were going to Guangde Building to attend a cultural gathering, but Lu Xiangsheng and Niu Hao had a quarrel halfway through. The quarrel didn't matter, but it did bring Zhu Youxiao into trouble!

    Everyone arrived at Guangde Building all the way. Zhu Youxiao looked up and saw that Guangde Building was quite grand. It was four stories high. The first and second floors were the lobby. The third and fourth floors should be private rooms, where today's cultural gathering would be held.  On the second floor, the second floor was already bustling with people. It looked like a lot of people were here!

    As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao should not take his guards lightly when he goes to a place like this. Before Zhu Youxiao and others went upstairs, some guards had already gone up to check. Seeing that there were scholars upstairs, they monitored in the dark.  , did not alarm these people, but the kitchen in Guangde Building has been controlled, and the waiter serving the dishes has been replaced by a guard. All drinks and dishes must be inspected before being delivered to Zhu Youxiao's table!

    The shopkeeper and waiters of Guangde Building were scared to death by this, but facing Jin Yiwei's waistline, although there were some people behind them to support them, they did not dare to have the slightest objection. They could only pray to God secretly, praying to gods and Buddhas all over the sky.  Bless you, please don¡¯t cause any trouble today!

    Zhu Youxiao and his group went up to the second floor and were immediately led by the guards dressed as waiters to sit down at a table with no windows and no view. Then someone immediately came up to arrange the drinks and dishes. Everything was done in a smooth and smooth manner, which was quite impressive.  I can't see anything different!

    After everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I wonder what Brother Jiandou and Brother Niu were arguing about, so that they actually reached the point of using force?"

    Before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, Niu Hao shouted loudly: "Datong was victorious a few days ago, and the officers and soldiers of Datong Town sacrificed prisoners at Deshengmen. Zhu Xiandi should know about this!"

    Zhu Youxiao said heartily: "I should know that those prisoners were given to me, and I spent a lot of money on them!"

    But what he said was: "This matter has made a big fuss. Of course I know it. Is the dispute between Brother Niu and Brother Jiandou related to this matter?"

    Niu Hao nodded and said: "That's right. In my opinion, it was a matter of universal celebration that Master Wang pacified the Tartars and presented the prisoners to the imperial court. However, it is wrong for the Holy One to use those captured Mongolians as hard labor.  Such kindness. But Lu Jiandou said that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty's move. The Tartars were rampaging in the Central Plains. Although they were defeated, they could not be exempted from their crimes. They were not killed directly, but only served as laborers. This was a great kindness. For this reason  I just got into a dispute with Lu Jiandou."

    Niu Hao spoke in a loud voice. After what he said, everyone's attention was attracted. When he finished speaking, someone said: "What this brother said is absolutely true. I, the Great China, are  We are a country of etiquette, how can we do this kind of thing of taking people as slaves, which is against benevolence? In fact, we also have some complaints about this, but the current Holy Lord Qiangang is arbitrary, and even if we have any dissatisfaction, we have no way to express it.  Come listen to the Holy Spirit!"

    Another person said: "I'm surprised by this. The Tartars invaded my territory, harmed my people, and were defeated by my king's army. If you don't kill them, it will be an advantage to them. You can't just let them go for the sake of benevolence, right? Let them do something."  Hard labor is a lesson, and it can also serve as a warning to the Tartars not to come to our Ming Dynasty and cause mischief!"

    As soon as these words came out, someone immediately retorted: "Our Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven. We should be broad-minded and bold when dealing with those barbarian countries. Since the Tartars have been conquered,They will be afraid of our Ming Dynasty's military front, and if we educate them with benevolence and virtue, they will definitely be convinced. Even if we let them go back, they will not dare to invade my territory again."

    Soon, you said in a word, saying that he spit out, but this kind of debate was publicly rational, and the mother -in -law said that it was almost impossible to persuade the opponent with a mouth.

    However, Zhu Youxiao heard something different from the debate between the two sides, that is, regarding the matter of benevolence, many scholars do not actually have a standard in their hearts, so that they only regard giving favors as benevolence.  But they don¡¯t know that giving people benefits for no reason will only make people laugh and not gain any respect!

    Although Zhu Youxiao supported Liu Yishen to create a popular science, the influence of popular science among literati was still not great, and its status was really not high. Even if some of its views were recognized, they still had great limitations.  Sex, there are still too few scholars like Lu Xiangsheng who are devoted to the embrace of universal learning!

    Therefore, Zhu Youxiao plans to use this opportunity to advertise the general education and leave a deep impression on the readers!

    "Everyone!" Zhu Youxiao stood up and said loudly: "Who can tell me what benevolence is?"

    As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter!

    Someone said: "This little brother is interesting. He doesn't even know what benevolence is, so he came to participate in our cultural gathering. I'm afraid he's not some kid who came out to make mischief, right?"

    Ning Shiwei was so sweaty that he thought to himself: "Who is this person? Why is he so Meng Lang? If he knew who this person was, he would probably be scared to death on the spot, right?"

    Ning Xi was originally competing with Zhu Youxiao, but when she heard someone laughing at Zhu Youxiao, she felt inexplicably angry. She stood up and said, "You know what benevolence is, why are you so mean? Haven't you read that benevolent people love others?"  Does everyone have compassion? If you don¡¯t know how to love others and you don¡¯t have compassion, how can you talk about benevolence?"

    The little girl spoke sharply and silenced the man in just a few words. However, Zhu Youxiao looked confused and thought to himself: "Is this girl speaking for me? Or is she hurting me? I'm not a second-rate person.  Fool, do you need others to have compassion for me?"

    Unexpectedly, Ning Xi pointed the finger at Zhu Youxiao again: "The Master said that there is no evil in a person who is determined to be benevolent. Today, the man who relies on his strong soldiers and horses to capture all those Mongolians, their wives and children to do hard labor, obviously originally  He has no ambition to be benevolent, that¡¯s why he did such a bad thing, I wonder what Brother Zhu would say about this?¡±

    Hiss¡ª¡ª

    In the middle of the restaurant, I suddenly remembered the sound of gasping, and everyone looked at Ning Xi in disbelief!

    Ning Shiwei covered his head and wailed in his heart: "Here we go again!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
