Chapter 381 The Heart’s Wishes: Great Harmony in the World (Part 2)
“Everyone can be like Yao and Shun… This is Taoism. Wenren, Mr. Ning, has the idea of great unity… but it is also a little dangerous… ..."
What Ji Kun said after a slight pause in the room also made Wenren Buer roughly aware of everyone's attitude towards Ning Yi.
Naturally, there were various considerations in the things Ning Yi and Liu Dabiao made at the Batao Camp. Wenren Buer collected all the information and sent it to Bianliang after the city was broken. It was also because after investigation, he found out that although Liu Xigua seemed reckless in his actions, he was actually a very smart person. If he wanted to deceive her, even Ning Perseverance is not easy either.
He didn’t pay attention to the profound meaning of the things Ning Yi made. I originally believed that the teacher or people around the teacher would be able to see the clues to the whole situation, but I never thought that what really attracted the teacher's attention was not the poem Ning Yi wrote to Liu Dabiao, or the poem he wrote in Records of various behaviors and words in the Ba Dao camp, but the words on the table, although dominated by him, were mostly not written by him.
In the Batao camp, Ning Yi collected a large number of literati who were living in panic after the fall, gave them the task of writing articles, and then asked them to exchange articles for food. This move later preserved a large number of literati and even their families. However, even with a discerning eye, the articles reported by these people were really of low quality. In his opinion, a great writer like Ning Yi naturally knew this well, and he collected those articles in batches. Well, even if they sometimes scolded people and refused to distribute food, it was really because these guys had gone too far.
Most of the Hangzhou literati at that time felt that Ning Yi was aiding the emperor and becoming a lackey in the Ba Dao camp. But from Wenren Fuji's point of view, Ning Yi can be said to have endured the humiliation and protected so many people even though it was not easy to protect himself. He really has the style of a sage. On the other hand, these guys are also talented in literature. Writing an article is half-hearted. Liu Xigua is not an idiot. If he is blamed, the pressure will naturally be on Ning Yi.
If possible, Wenren Fujian prefers to let these people recognize Ning Yi's life-saving grace after breaking the city, but later all this still has to be hidden in the darkness, and it is difficult to explain clearly. As for the articles written by these literati, they are not considered secrets. When they were written, Ning Yi sent them to the school in Ba Dao Camp, asking students to read, read and even point out what was wrong. Many copies were copied. . Although the conclusions of these articles deviate slightly from today's mainstream thinking, their intentions are still based on the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. They are not reactionary texts. Wenren Buer only accepted and received them easily, but here, they attracted Qin Siyuan's attention. got up.
"The people are noble, the country is second, the king is light... Everyone can be Yao and Shun, or use the nine. Seeing a group of dragons without a leader is auspicious... These things may just be used to complain to the rebels. . But when you think about it carefully, it is remarkable." Yao Zunian said, "The ancient sages and sages governed the world with virtue, but what is the rule of virtue? The sages taught all the people, and the people followed their teachings. Closed households, the laws are complicated nowadays, and the world is getting worse. The reason why Lu Jifang and others failed is simply because the villagers are not educated, but how to educate them and how to educate them is actually the real difficulty... ..."
"Nian Gong means..." Wenren Buer thought for a while and looked at the articles on the table, "Are these useful?"
"Dong Weng and I think that it may be really useful in a small area." Yao Zunian nodded, "As for whether it can be useful in the whole world, how can we see that it is something that even the saints cannot do... Of course, these articles are a bit ridiculous...but the direction is not necessarily wrong. In the camp, many things were done. Those seemingly childish things like selecting talents, but allowing the top management to cheat, and even deliberately trying to arouse public outrage. The important thing is not to really select talents, but to make people understand that a In the circle, if you want something, you must first reach out and get it, otherwise everything will be lost. No. Such self-awareness is the most rare thing..."
He paused: "And if it's just these little things, it can only prove that Mr. Ning has this ability in manipulating people's hearts. , he has demonstrated it vividly before, and only these articles in front of him prove it. It shows that what he wants to touch is not just the human heart. People who can take things into consideration are worthy of discussing with anyone, because only these things can pass on the Taoism. This is human nature. , not just the hearts of the people. This Mr. Ning is in the Ba Dao Camp. On the surface, these things that we have done are a bit childish, but the interlocking things involved are definitely not something that a person can figure out clearly in a year or two... This Mr. Ning is exactly the person of my generation. ."
Wenren Buer hesitated: "But... along the way. We also talked about it last time, and he seemed a little disapproving of this..."
"Dong Weng said the same thing." Yao Zunian laughed, "Back in Jiangning, it was said that Mr. Ning had such a temperament. A little lazy and dismissive of Confucianism, but now that I think about it I misjudged him. The more I know, the more I realize that the journey is difficult, especially the idea of great unity. Since ancient times, there are many people who are enthusiastic at first, but then become discouraged and retreat to the mountains and forests. The same thing happened to Master Hushangong back then. The officialdom was strife and the world was mediocre. He resigned. After becoming an official, he retired to seclusion and no longer cared about world affairs. "
"It is said that Mr. Ning was dull and unremarkable when he was young. When he became an adult, he suddenly became the son-in-law of a merchant. , if not for the ups and downs of mood, who would make this choice? ”
Wenren Fujiu touched his nose: "Well, I've been curious about this before..."
"After he got married, his temperament became more relaxed and free, and he obviously let go of what he was thinking. But after that Regarding Confucianism and Taoism , either saying that they don't understand, or showing disdain and wanting to draw a clear line. It is said that the Ning family used to have poetry and calligraphy. He studied since he was a child, and he was still a Confucian scholar until he married. When he got married, suddenly It has nothing to do with his identity as a Confucian scholar, but he has been studying alone for more than ten years and has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. How can he suddenly lose it when everyone in the world reads Confucius and Mencius? act like that "Clear?"
Wen Ren nodded: "...Is he pretending?"
"He won't admit it personally, so we don't have to ask the truth. I have seen people before. I have never seen anyone before. Na, suddenly enlightened, this kind of situation does happen. But even if it does happen, there are traces of it. It is really strange that Mr. Ning suddenly has an enlightened mind, and he can pick up poems at his fingertips. It also shows that he is not familiar with Confucianism. It seems like two completely different people. Rather than being enlightened, it’s more like something has suddenly become clear to me. I haven’t gotten to know them well yet, so that’s all I can think about.”
< br>"If you say getting married to him, it's like It is indeed possible to become a monk." Wenren Fujian frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and looked at the people around him, "Guan Ning Liheng behaves and does anything under the atmosphere. It is indeed possible for people to let go. It can be seen that what Nian Gong said is really true. It is possible that when he chose to marry into his wife, he actually let go of the things that originally bothered him, and then started to see the world again, but he stopped touching the things that originally bothered him. If he hadn't landed in Hangzhou... ”
"If he hadn't landed in Hangzhou, I don't think he would have taken these out again." Yao Zunian continued with a smile, "We will look at his poems. He wrote several of his own free and easy poems, which are easy to pick up, but he himself is not familiar with poems. But he doesn’t respect him very much. When it comes to the few poems written to Liu Xigua, they are very generous. There are some, and there are also those that are lingering and graceful, but they are still classics. If the facts were not in front of me, I would never believe it. It can only be said that a person can write so many things. It is because of his genius. It was so good that he didn't care about it. Perhaps that was why he had thought about it since childhood. All I can think of is a more troublesome question. Apart from the thought of great unity, what else can make such a person act dull all day long?"
"It's just a pity that there is no one around him. The teacher with considerable knowledge missed the best time and instead let him He got into trouble. The older he gets, the more he realizes that things in the world are difficult. Maybe he didn’t understand it very well, so he chose to get married, and then became a different person due to amnesia..."
Yao Zu Nian's sighing words made up his speculation about Ning Yi. To be honest, it is a bit shocking that a young man in his twenties would think about Taoism and give up everything. However, the poems and essays written by Ning Yi were placed in front of them, and the things he did were far beyond Sophistication among peers. On the contrary, it makes people think that this thing may actually be possible.
There is no shortage of geniuses in the capital, and there are always people who have seen the geniuses among geniuses. Except for Ji Kun and Wen Renfuer, the other three people sitting here have all been called heavens. Vertical talent. Ning Yi was able to outline things related to "Datong". Even though it was shocking, it was still understandable after all. Because of this, even Cheng Zhouhai, who had always been somewhat cynical, seemed quite curious about Ning Liheng.
The rain could be heard outside the window, and as evening approached, everyone was chatting and waiting for Qin Siyuan to come back. However, not long after, a housekeeper came over and said that the master already knew about Wenren's arrival, but he had something to do and had to come back later so that everyone could eat first.
Qin Siyuan went to the Ministry of Revenue for business that afternoon. He was supposed to come back at this time. At this time, the room was filled with some of his closest staff. At this time, monk Jueming smiled and said, "Is it possible that he was dragged there by Tang Qinsou?" Banquet?"
The housekeeper was familiar with everyone and said with a smile: "I heard from the people who came to report that they were going to Xiaozhufang."
When he said this, everyone was shocked. A little stunned Now, there are three most famous brothels in Bianliang, namely Fanlou, Tingyanju, and Xiaozhufang. Qin Siyuan was naturally a romantic scholar in the past. After serving as the Prime Minister, he occasionally entertained guests or participated in banquets. To say that Of course it would be impossible without a brothel girl, but it had been something he had not seen for a long time. If it were not for some important events such as a grand cultural gathering, the prime minister of a country might not appear in a brothel again. After hesitating, Yaozu asked in a young voice: "Who is treating us?"
The housekeeper said: "It seems that the Sixteenth Young Master is over there."
"Oh, I understand." Yaozu Nian understood and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
*******************
The rain is falling, and the sky is getting darker earlier than usual. As one of the three buildings in the capital, Xiaozhufang is lit with lights. Spots are lighting up, like the light gradually floating on the water in the blue-gray sea.
Located in the center of Bianliang City, but not a bustling street, Xiaozhufang occupies a large area. Several gardens nearby are owned by brothels. It is a good place for everyone to relax during weekdays. Most of the most high-end brothels in Bianliang are like this. They can be lively or quiet, elegant or vulgar. After all, people who come to such places spend money just to vent their anger.
At this time, it was approaching evening, and there were one or two cultural gatherings held in the courtyard of the square. The people who occasionally came in and out of the brothel were either well-dressed, or wearing feather fans and silk scarves, followed by the servants or It was the maids holding the umbrellas, and they would occasionally greet each other, showing that they were well-educated. No matter whether they are beasts inside or not, most of them will dress well when they go out.
A carriage was parked quietly on the street outside Xiaozhufang. Amidst the rain, the driver was sitting as straight as a pine tree. Although soaked by the heavy rain, he remained motionless and stared intently. Looking at the behavior around them, the car curtains were hung thickly, and several servants were following around. One of them had already entered the brothel gate after listening to the instructions. There were many dignitaries in the capital, so the carriage was not very grand. Parking in the rain at this time did not attract too much attention. However, the beautiful madam at the door came to greet and ask questions based on the principle of not ignoring anyone. Withdrew.
In the small candle square, the courtyards and buildings are relatively harmonious. They can talk about poetry and essays, sit and talk about Taoism, or listen to the talented woman singing and talk to her about recent troubles. But today, beyond the rain curtain, in the largest and most splendid courtyard, the scene revealed was a bit absurd.
In the light, a voice laughed wildly and shouted, looking outstanding.
“…small penis~~~small~cock~~~beautiful girl! My little~cock is gone…look if it’s in your skirt, hahahahahaha… ...Wherever you want to run, you must have hidden my penis..."
Amid this wanton noise, a young man in messy Chinese attire with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was running wildly in the hall, forcing a number of brothel girls to run in exclamation, and some were knocked down before they could run. On the ground, some indescribable things can only happen half-assedly and half-on-the-spot.
Among the several major brothels in the capital, Xiaozhufang is considered to be one of the most famous, and it does not usually appear vulgar. And even if they are prostitutes who entertain people with sex, in this ridiculous environment, many women still have a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on their faces, but no one dares to show resistance to the wanton young master. Behavior comes.
In addition to the young man shouting "little cock" and the woman being chased, there are naturally other young men in the hall of the courtyard at this moment. They either hold the woman next to them under their bodies, or are with several other young men. The women do some ridiculous activities, and most of them blend into this ridiculous atmosphere.
At this time, on one side of the room, a young man in his early twenties was hugging the woman next to him and trying to enjoy it. A wretched-looking man next to him turned his head: "Hey, look, You see...the most fun thing every time is that Huahua is too old, haha, how about it, brother Shao Yu, I didn’t introduce it to you as my brother. You’re the wrong person, I’ll introduce you to you later when I’m free...”
While he was speaking, the smiling man in the room, known as Huahua Taisui, was laughing and tearing off the woman’s skirt. Come on, that woman was usually a performer and rarely prostituted herself. Now she was so humiliated that she burst into tears, which actually made everyone around her laugh even louder. The man named Shao Yu here smiled and nodded, but his hands were unwilling to leave the beautiful woman next to him. At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
The door was knocked several times, and the man who was tearing off his skirt in the room turned around and pointed: "Don't open the door! Hahahaha... no one is allowed to come in! I'm looking for my penis, open it What should I do if I run away——"
But then the door was still pushed open, and the man suddenly Suddenly, he turned around alertly and glanced at the door several times. Then he jumped up and put his hands on his hips: "Lu——Qian! I told you not to open the door! Did you see it! Did you see it! Small penis! Now!" My penis ran away - who is this guy and what is his background! My father is Gao Qiu -"
He shouted with his hands on his waist, and the woman behind him quickly pulled back her skirt and put it on while trying to hide in the corner of the hall. At the door, a man with a knife wearing a Yu Hou official's palace bowed his head and walked in. Another servant in black bowed his hands to everyone. Before he came in, Qin Shaoyu here was so excited that he let go of the woman beside him. Then he waved and stood up: "It's from my home, it's from my home..." and trotted towards the door.
"Who are you in your family! Hey, who knows who he is? My father is Gao Qiu - tell me if I can offend you..."
" The nephew of the right prime minister..." Lu Qian walked over and whispered in his ear.
"Uh... Qin... Old Man Qin? My father seems to say that he is more powerful than Li Gang... Does that mean he can't be offended? Then forget it..."
He looked frustrated. Standing there with his hands on his hips. At the door, after Qin Shaoyu exchanged a few words with his servant, he turned around carefully to apologize, saying that he was going back immediately, and followed the servant away as quickly as possible. After the people left, Huahua Taisui pointed there and cursed: "Courageless bandit! Don't ask him to come next time... Lu Qian, why don't you get out quickly! Close the door——"
Then he turned around, looked around, and ran towards the side of the hall with all his might: "Humph, beauty, where are you running to! What do you want to do? You want to hide my penis again, right?" Isn’t that right? Haha, cry, cry...I like the way you want to cry, hahahaha...cry louder..."
The ridiculous voice gradually became smaller, but the rain remained. A young man named Qin Shaoyu ran out of the main entrance of Xiaozhufang in a panic, without even holding an umbrella. He stood timidly in front of the car curtain for a moment, and heard someone inside say: "Come in." Only then did he dare to Open the curtain and get up.
There was a small table placed in the relatively spacious carriage. Sitting on both sides were Qin Siyuan and a junior master who was following him. There were piles of papers around him. Qin Siyuan, who had half-white hair, squinted his eyes and read through it. He frowned and wrote a few words on it and put it aside. Only then did Qin Shaoyu dare to call him timidly: "Uncle, uncle..."
"The fleet going north has arrived in Bianliang this afternoon."
Qin Siyuan glanced at him , knocking on the wall of the carriage next to it, the carriage started to move. During the slight shaking, the old man's tone was calm and did not sound like a curse, but Qin Shaoyu was already panicking: "Uh, uncle, I, I... I thought it was raining heavily..." He didn't know how to defend himself for a while.
"I know." Qin Siyuan nodded, "Your Wenren Shixiong has already arrived at home. If you see him tonight or tomorrow, you should be more respectful and ask for his help. As for Ningyi Ningshixiong, now You should have already settled in Wenhui Building. I had hoped that you could meet and get to know each other as soon as possible. A useful person is a hundred times better than knowing those young masters. If you can learn a little bit, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. It's not too late now. I'm on my way. I'll take you to meet him. "
Qin Shaoyu's body was shocked, and then he stammered: "How, how? I asked you to go visit him. Uncle, yes, I was wrong, but with your status, how could you go to visit him first? I, I will go to Wenhui Building and find Ning Shixiong to admit my mistake, uncle..."< br>
Qin Siyuan has many things to deal with every day, but the discipline of his family members is not enough after all. Qin Shaoyu came to Although the capital city also felt the majesty of Qin Siyuan, they still felt the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion more. In the past, when Qin Siyuan met him, a few words of advice would hardly have any effect. However, at this time, it made Qin Shaoyu panic. When I got up, I subconsciously felt that my uncle went to see Ning Yi because of him. He couldn't help but want to get out of the car and run to Wenhui Building first, but he didn't dare to run away in front of Qin Siyuan. Only then did a smile appear on Qin Siyuan's face and he waved.
"Okay, I have a sense of propriety and etiquette, but don't be too pretentious. This little friend, I am on the same level as him. If you want to teach him what he has done, you should teach him It's not an exaggeration to be polite. When we get to Wenhui Building later, you go in and invite him to come and sit in my car. I'll just treat him as a passer-by. That's it. How do you treat the people around him? Better, you have entertained him with all your heart these days. If you can win his favor, it will be your fate in the future."
Qin Shaoyu nodded quickly, although he always felt that it was not good for his uncle to see Ning Liheng in the past. More importantly, I still feel that this uncle who is the prime minister takes care of me. He is busy with everything, but he really thinks about his relatives. After saying those words, the old man picked up another thing and looked at it, Qin Shaoyu chewing on this thought. After a while, the old man put down his notebook and said to him before picking up another one: "People like Gao Mu'en, it's better to have as little contact with them as possible."
Qin Shaoyu nodded quickly. The rain gradually subsided, and the lights in the city lit up one by one. The carriage drove through the crowd, turned around, and approached the brightly lit Wenhui Building... (End of this chapter)
