Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu deeply, without any change in his expression.

Zhu Youxiao didn't believe that this old man came to ask for forgiveness. Rather than asking for forgiveness, he was just looking for an excuse to see him.

As for what he was going to do, Zhu Youxiao didn't know yet.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu quietly, and said in a neutral tone, "What crime have you committed, my dear minister? This is not a big deal, just a small matter, it shouldn't be this serious."

Han Yu's face showed some embarrassment, and it was obvious that his intention had been guessed by his own emperor.

However, those who can reach his position are usually thick-skinned. If they are not thick-skinned, they cannot reach this level.

After a moment, Han Yu adjusted his composure and continued calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness, but I still feel guilty. My new student is loyal and talented, so I couldn't help myself. But this matter is against the rules, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu helplessly.

Let’s not talk about anything else about these old guys. Just their shameless and stupid attitude is something that ordinary people can’t compare to.

Too lazy to beat around the bush with this old man, Zhu Youxiao asked, "How could there be such a person who could make your heart flutter and disregard the rules? This person must be extraordinary. Your words have really aroused my curiosity. So tell me about it."

This sentence should have been said with great emotion, but Zhu Youxiao said it very calmly, as if he was acting and reading a script. He was clearly telling Han Yu: I have already cooperated with you, so don't bother with all this nonsense and just say it.

Han Yu was also very embarrassed. He knew that if he could not satisfy the emperor this time, he would be in trouble.

So he bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although this student I accepted has many advantages, there are actually many such people in the Ming Dynasty. What really made me unable to help but accept him as a student is that he is from the Guanzhong lineage."

"The Guanzhong lineage?" Zhu Youxiao showed a matter-of-fact expression, but there was less sincerity. He seemed to be speaking weakly: "What's going on with this Guanzhong lineage?"

Zhu Youxiao certainly knew that the person Han Yu accepted was Zhang Yu.

After all, since the last time he met Song Yingxing, Zhu Youxiao has paid more attention to the two Song brothers, and he also knows that there is such a person around them.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not very clear about this person.

But Zhu Youxiao knew that Song Yingsheng and the other two all studied Guanzhong School. Are you, Han Yu, going to say that the Guanzhong School is Zhang Zai? You really don't have anything new to say.

Zhu Youxiao had already thought about it in his mind and decided to let Han Yu go if it didn't work out.

"Your Majesty, I have only recently heard of this Guanzhong lineage, but I find it quite novel. After listening to some of their ideas, I felt they made a lot of sense, so I accepted this disciple as my disciple."

"This Guanzhong lineage originated from the Confucian scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties, and its founder was Feng Congwu. Feng Congwu spent twenty-five years in Guanzhong seeking enlightenment, teaching and educating people on a daily basis, practicing the sage's teaching that there is no discrimination in education."

"Over the past twenty years, Feng Congwu has been constantly studying and learning, and has finally achieved some success. He then founded the Guanzhong School of Thought, advocating the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties and rejecting the Confucianism of the Song Dynasty. He also believed that the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that created the world and naturally could not follow the methods of the previous Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty was weak, and its people suffered from oppression. Why should the Ming Dynasty learn from them? If we were to learn, we should learn from the powerful Han and Tang dynasties. Therefore, they felt that we should abandon the Confucianism of the Song Dynasty and learn from the Confucianism of the Han and Tang dynasties, while also eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, to create the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty."

"After all, although our Ming Dynasty learned from the powerful Han and Tang dynasties, it is stronger than the powerful Han and Tang dynasties. I think it is very interesting, and I think what they said is very right." After saying this, Han Yu lowered his head and did not speak again.

In fact, Han Yu came here today to talk about this matter, and success or failure depends on this.

To put it bluntly, Han Yu came here to gamble. If his words could not gain the trust or favor of His Majesty, then he would go back and write his resignation.

Don't wait for His Majesty to kick you out, that would be even more embarrassing.

If what I say today can impress His Majesty, then I definitely still have hope, and I can even consolidate my position, and it is not impossible for me to further become His Majesty's confidant.

So Han Yu didn't say anything else. He felt that he had already said everything, and all the nonsense before was just to lead to the following sentence.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu meaningfully, and the expression on his face was very interesting.

He didn't know what to say.

In Zhu Youxiao's mind, there was only one sentence that came to mind, and that was the compromise of Confucianism.

These people were really quick to react. They had already figured out such a clear thread of events from the time he traveled through time to now.

The most crucial point is that in order to cater to the imperial power, they abandoned their previous ideas and things very quickly, and at the same time were able to quickly find things that the emperor liked.

No one dislikes such a school of thought. No wonder Confucianism has achieved this. Zhu Youxiao also had to sigh.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "It's quite interesting. To be so liked by you, my dear, I think he must have his own unique qualities. In that case, my dear, please let Feng Congwu enter the palace and let your student serve him. I would also like to listen to his story."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Han Yu was overjoyed and quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it as soon as I return."
