It was at this moment that the old eunuch realized that there was a dazzling purple color beside him. He was shocked and even more shocked. After he came back to his senses and was about to bow, that person smiled and shook his head. The old eunuch, who was already the head eunuch of the palace, could only bow. The scholar in purple robes and jade belt walked to the old eunuch's side and grabbed the child's cold hand. He used a bit of force to pry open the child's fingers, only to discover that the child had coughed up blood. The scholar looked at the teary-eyed child and smiled gently. He rubbed the child's head and didn't say anything. He took the child's other hand and crossed the threshold of the lower room. The lecturer in the room was a famous literary figure from the Hanlin Academy. He glanced at the scholar's robes and then at the late child with a displeased expression. However, no matter how far this literary figure had distanced himself from the quarrels of officialdom, he was still somewhat afraid of the deep meaning of the purple robes. He stopped his recitation and reached out to grab a bamboo whip from the desk. With a straight face, he said to the child, "Zhao Li, stretch out your hand."
The child was about to step forward to accept his punishment when the scholar, who was no older than thirty, said in a warm voice, "Lecturer Han, Zhao Li isn't being naughty. He just caught a cold and coughed up blood at such a young age. Yet, he still insisted on entering the room to study. In the end, this is pardonable. The demotion from the Imperial Clan Court is unavoidable, but can this bamboo punishment be waived?"
The old scholar snorted coldly, "Waive the bamboo punishment? What kind of scandal is this?! "
The scholar still smiled faintly and said, "The law is nothing more than human feelings."
The old keeper cast a sidelong glance at this' latecomer far above the rest 'junior and sneered, "Law, sentiment, and reason. Even Grand Chancellor Qi doesn't dare to say which of the three is more important. I wonder where did Lord Junior Guardian learn from?"
Chen Wang, who was destined to become the first Lord Junior Guardian of the Auspicious Talisman Era, said calmly, "This junior is self-taught and has no teacher. However, Chen Wang secretly believes that as long as there is a reason in the world, there is no distinction between big and small. The Confucian sage Zhang said it, the emperor said it, and even the common people said it. "
Official Han sneered, "Then I'll have to ask one more question. This is a reason that anyone can say, but who can prove it?"
Chen Wang laughed softly and said, "It's nothing more than the four words of 'the conscience of heaven and earth'. The heaven is fair, the earth is sorrowful, and the two do not interfere with each other. Man is not a plant, how can he not be heartless? Man is not a beast, how can he not have compassion? "
Official Han's face was ashen as he tightly gripped the bamboo whip that he had used to beat countless descendants of the Dragon Clan. Other people might respect you and be a bit afraid of you, Chen Wang, but I, Han Yusheng, would not take you, a Beiliang barbarian, seriously!
The Keeper was just about to explode in anger when he noticed a rare guest standing by the door, clad in a bright yellow robe. He quickly put down his bamboo whip and rose to bow. The other children also rose to their feet and saluted. "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Zhuan laughed heartily and said, "I've disturbed Scholar Han's teachings. Forgive me, forgive me. There is one thing I must explain to Scholar Han. Zhao Li's nephew was on his way to the Diligent Room when I stopped him and inquired about his well-being for a long time, causing him to be delayed. I will personally inform the Imperial Clan Court. As for the bamboo punishment, if Scholar Han is afraid of breaking the rules, I will take the punishment for Zhao Li 'er. Furthermore, this child is suffering from a severe cold. I have to ask Han Yusheng for a leave of absence. Studying is important, but the body is even more important. We study, we study. It doesn't matter if we die from studying. Studying is a good thing, the more the better. But if we die from studying, then it won't be pretty … "
Han Yusheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Highness is too serious, too serious."
With the Crown Prince pleading for leniency, Han Yusheng didn't dare to argue. He didn't feel that he was insulting the educated. He only felt that if Sage Zhang were alive, he would do the same.
Well, didn't Chen Shaobao say before that the law is nothing more than human feelings?
Zhao Zhuan rubbed Zhao Li's little head and said with a smile, "Don't forget to ask your aunt for more sweets in the future." Then he let the old eunuch lead Zhao Li to find an imperial physician. He walked with Chen Wang on a dark path. After a moment of silence, he joked, "Chen Wang, it seems like you're not happy being the Junior Guardian."
Chen Wang laughed and dismissed it.
Zhao Zhuan stopped and looked at this guy. He asked seriously, "It's said that a place's environment nurtures a place's people. You and our unyielding Jin San Lang are both people of Beiliang. Why are you so different?"
Chen Wang hesitated and shook his head. He said self-deprecatingly, "A place's environment also has its own differences. It seems that when I, Chen Wang, was practicing writing with firewood in the snow, the Right Chancellor was already thinking about how to develop high quality rice paper."
Zhao Zhuan said helplessly, "With your personality, who would dare to let you be a local official?"
This' who 'obviously wasn't referring to him in general. It was referring to him, the Crown Prince who was supposed to be the regent of the country.
Chen Wang smiled. "If I were to be sent out, I'd at most be a county magistrate. If my official hat was bigger, it wouldn't be stable."
Zhao Zhuan patted his shoulder. "Do you think I'm stupid to be willing to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
Chen Wang didn't reply.
Zhao Zhuan suddenly asked, "How do you evaluate the Grand Secretary and Chancellor Qi?"
Chen Wang didn't hold back and said straightforwardly, "Zhang Julu's personality is strict and fearsome, like the scorching summer. Qi Yanglong's personality is gentle and cute, like the warm winter day. No matter if it's their ability to govern the country or their personal integrity, they are close to saints. It's my honor to be able to be an official with them. "
