"Your Highness!"
When Li Kuan heard his reputation, it was actually Kong Yingda, the consecrated wine of the Imperial College. Li Kuan, Wu Hui, and Ma Jiayun quickly got up to receive him. Kong Yingda was not a prince and nobleman, but he was a famous Confucian master. This kind of etiquette is really indispensable.
"Why is Kong Jijiu looking for me?" Kong Yingda bowed suddenly, which made Li Kuan flattered, and hurriedly helped Kong Yingda, who was bent over, said: "What is Kong Jijiu for? How can I receive such a big gift? Don't joke about the wine, you can't afford it!"
"This is what the old owes your Royal Highness!" Kong Yingda explained that Li Kuan was confused by the second monk. "When His Royal Highness was married before, the old man had lost his manners. Inviting His Highness to come today is also malicious, but His Highness is magnanimous and old. Ashamed!"
"Kong Jijiu said that, it seems that I am stingy!" Li Kuan smiled, "The past is over, why should Kong Jijiu worry about it? There was something wrong with Kong Jijiu that day, so please ask Kong Jijiu to do something wrong. I can punt the boat here, so forgive me!"
From the very beginning, Kong Yingda targeted Li Kuan and was quietly defeated by him with a poem of a hundred rhymes. At that moment, Kong Yingda looked pale, knowing that things had reached the point of being uncontrollable, and at this moment Li Kuan gave him the steps again. Kong Yingda was very impressed. If it weren’t for the prince, Wang Wei and others to come downstairs and need to entertain him, Kong Yingda was the first time. Just come over and thank Li Kuan in person.
Li Kuan knows that it is not easy for Kong Yingda to thank him with his temperament, let alone admit his mistakes in a low voice, but what he can do today is to give full face to Li Kuan, and all his grievances are completely dissipated at this moment, and Kong Yingda is thoughtful. People, who had already put down their grudges before and apologized to the face of absolute sincerity, Li Kuan would naturally not be arrogant.
Ma Jiayun was surprised to see Kong Yingda lower his head. Kong Yingda is absolutely stubborn and will squash to the end if he looks for it, even if he saves his life. Today, I saw Kong Yingdaneng apologize in person, and Ma Jiayun saw it for the first time.
"Your Majesty, won't you go down?" After the grievances between Kong Yingda and Li Kuan disappeared, Kong Yingda's words made Li Kuan very puzzled. He glanced at Ma Jiayun, because he had said the same thing, and said suspiciously: "Kong Jijiu, why are you Asked like that with Brother Ma?"
Ma Jiayun took a deep look at Li Kuan, and was shocked. He really did not expect Li Kuan to admit the brotherhood between the two in front of Kong Yingda. He thought that the two were private brothers, but Li Kuan was not. Thinking like this makes Ma Jiayun even more admired.
Kong Yingda glanced at Ma Jiayun. Although he was surprised by the names of the two of them, he didn't ask much. He explained: "His Royal Highness has already entered the court hall, and they will certainly enter the court hall in the future. More contact with each other is beneficial to your highness." !"
Kong Yingda's illocutionary meaning, similar to Ma Jiayun, is to remind Li Kuan to enter the court, he must have his own strength if he wants to be successful. In short, it is to gather people's hearts and build his own network. Li Kuan watched Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and others chatting happily with many scholars, and asked with a light smile: "Kong Jijiu, you have been a Confucian master for many years, and you have many disciples. I ask you the old saying: What is an official?"
Kong Yingda said decisively: "Being an official is naturally asking for life for the people, loyal to your majesty, and loyal to the court."
"Brother Ma, what do you think?" Li Kuan asked again.
Ma Jiayun pondered for a moment, and said: "As far as oneself is concerned, being an official is the way to glorify the ancestors. The lintel of the gate can bless the descendants; as far as the people are concerned, being an official is just like the Lord Jijiu said. As far as the country is concerned, naturally loyal to the court and loyal to your majesty!"
Li Kuan smiled slightly and said, "Since Kong Jijiu and Brother Ma know this, why do we have to ask more?"
Kong Yingda and Ma Jiayun looked at each other with admiration. An official is nothing more than fame and fortune. Even if he is not an official, he cannot do without these four words. Common people cannot do without fame and fortune, and officials cannot do without merit. When they look at the prince, Wang Wei and others, they cannot help but admire Li Kuan even more.
"Being an official is one of thousands of roads. No matter how old you become an official, you will always be inseparable from fame and fortune. Therefore, I think you will achieve higher achievements if you are not an official. And the achievement of being an official lies in how much you have done for the country. How much contribution has been made to the people."
Li Kuan smiled faintly, "It's like Kong Jijiu and Brother Ma. Both of you haven't entered official positions, but you have joined the Imperial College, which is also my Datang education career. Isn't it one of the thousands of avenues? As far as wine sacrifices are concerned, there are thousands of disciples who are less likely to talk about it. Isn't it more sense of accomplishment to see your students become famous in the future
"I'm not what I want to be an official, but when I sit in this position, I should take the responsibility. I am loyal to the court, loyal to your majesty, and loyal to the people. I have no shame in my heart. Why should I be close to them? If I am an official It's to win people's hearts, so don't do this official position!"
"As the saying goes: The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water!" Li Kuan went on to say, "Just like my fellowship with brother Ma, the friendship between gentlemen is as plain as water, not based on any interests. There is always icing on the cake, and the snowman gives charcoal. geometry?"
Kong Yingda and Ma Jiayun lowered their heads in contemplation. Ma Jiayun became a monk since he was a child. It can be said that he has become a worldly man after seeing the world, but he does not want to forget his original heart. Kong Yingda has been in the Imperial College for more than ten years, and has served as a wine sacrifice for several years. There are many students in the school, but no one has this state, even if he has taught Prince Li Chengqian, he has never been in such a state. It seems to see through the fame and fortune of the world.
"I'm not as good as your Highness!" Ma Jiayun sighed.
Kong Yingda was ashamed and embarrassed. He understood why Li Kuan dared to treat himself this way. If he was replaced by someone else, let alone driving him out of the house, he would definitely flatter him in hopes of getting his guidance. So Kong Yingda prayed again, like a student being taught.
Wu Jue gently held Li Kuan's hand. She knew that Li Kuan didn't seem to care about anything. As long as others treat him sincerely, she would definitely pay back ten times. Because of this, Li Kuan’s behavior is always incompatible with his personality. People around him say that he is aloof, indifferent, unkind, etc. Only those who are familiar with him understand what Li Kuan is like.
His arrogance is just that he doesn't want to go with the crowd, he would rather be talked about than to explain; his indifference seems to be inhuman, but in fact it is insecure, and it is so weird if he is completely injured. People live for two lives, and they both want to understand and see through the world.
"If there is nothing wrong, I won't stay more!"
Li Kuan got up and left. Kong Yingda silently nodded. In front of Li Kuan, he was like a younger generation. Ma Jiayun personally escorted Li Kuan and Wu Hui away from the back door. Before leaving, Li Kuan once again emphasized the birthday party for the two sons. Don’t forget to come. , Ma Jiayun solemnly promised and watched the two leave. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
At the same time, Ma Jiayun's eyes flashed with joy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, muttering to himself: "Finally found!..." (End of this chapter)
