"... Today, I want to say something to everyone. Yesterday, I saw a beheading in the east of the city, and I met an old man named Qian Xiwen. I know his news. , because earlier... The day before yesterday, Ru You told me about those things, and I decided to go and see it. I was not very familiar with Qian Xiwen before, and of course I met several times. He is a very understanding man. A man of intrigue and humanity. In the Hangzhou area a few years ago, if something happened, his words could have a decisive effect. Today, I want to tell everyone about this old man."
The shade of the trees swayed, and amid the leisurely chirping of insects, the voice of a young teacher was ringing in the classroom of the academy. Of course, it was said to be lecturing, but by this time, it had actually become a story-telling routine. At this time, there were dozens of students of various sizes in the classroom, and behind the window outside the classroom, there were actually five or six students gathered there, some lying on the windowsill, some squatting on the ground and counting stones, but They are also listening to what is being said.
Since there have been several conflicts in the academy because of Mr. Ning Liheng, the students have split into several factions. Some of them want to kill this gentleman, some are close to and want to keep this gentleman, and more. There are many, of course, neutrals that don't matter. Regardless of their likes and dislikes, when the interesting news of Mr. Ning's lectures spread, many people were willing to come to Class C to listen to a "Historical Records" class.
In the traditional school of the past, if the students wanted to run around freely like this, they would probably be beaten and scolded to death by their husbands, but in today's Wenlie Academy, there are not many teachers who really dare to control the students. By this time, every day when I went to Class C's "Historical Records" class, there were probably more than forty students of the Baoning faction and the neutral school in the class. The Dao Ning faction who want to find fault, they say that they are adhering to the idea of knowing yourself, knowing the enemy, and invincible in a hundred battles. Listen, only after listening to show a look of contempt.
However, the story told today makes the atmosphere inside and outside the classroom a little weird.
"The Qian family was originally a big family in Hangzhou, and their family used to have many high-ranking officials. There is also a very interesting little story about Qian Xiwen... I just came to Hangzhou a few months ago, and I followed the letter from my elders to Qian's residence. I went to visit him, met two young men who were chasing him, and found a red coral pen... I got ten coins for this, but it was not a flying ticket, but a string of coins, a full ten coins , it was very hard for me to move it, and I asked later, only to find out that this coral pen is Qian Xiwen's favorite utensil... "
There are things about Qian Xiwen, starting with the coral pen grid, and then gradually talking about the famine a few years ago, the beginning of autumn poetry and so on. In the classroom, there was a slight disturbance for a while. There are all children in the classroom, but they can probably hear the position of this story. They protect Ning Yi because they feel that Ning Yi has already voted for the rebels. At this time, when they talk about Qian Xiwen, some of the children start. Some shake.
The story is telling that two academy gentlemen came over at some time in the corridor outside, probably because they felt the atmosphere inside was different, stood there and listened to a few words before showing a look of surprise on their faces: "This man is crazy. already?"
"I don't see it as... unafraid..."
The two listened in surprise for a while, and then another gentleman came over and listened to a few words, but also looked at each other in surprise with the two companions. They were all Confucian scholars from Hangzhou, and naturally knew Qian Xiwen's name. But at this time in Fang La's territory, wouldn't it be courting death
In a moment of surprise, on one side of the corridor, a young man in a black shirt appeared to be wandering around, looking around and walking towards him. Although it is an unfamiliar face, there are guards outside the academy at this time. If you can come in at this time, you can see the spirit in front of you, and you will probably know that the man in front of you is a warrior. When he appeared, one of the children who were playing outside the classroom was obviously frightened. He took a few steps back, and then seemed to be discussing with his peers whether to leave.
The three Confucian students looked at each other and bowed their heads to leave. The young man glanced at the backs of several people, and then glanced sideways at Ning Yi's classroom. He thought about it for a while, then sat down on the corridor railing ten feet away from the classroom, pulled a piece of thatch and put it in his mouth, and seemed to rest here. At this distance, it is impossible to see the movement in the classroom, but the words on both sides can always be heard clearly, and soon, the young people will understand what the other side is saying.
"The so-called defending the Tao is to die for you to see at the right time. The old man said so. There are many smart people in this world. As far as I am concerned, I also think that if he wants to do more things, he doesn't need to die there. Here, there is no need to come back, this old man is also a wise man, but what he is afraid of is that when everyone is wise like this, others will not be able to cite a proper example when they talk about the festival of justice and death. You gentlemen, all the time, are talking about integrity, loyalty, filial piety and justice, why did everyone run away when the other party came over, and if he stayed, everyone would say, there is Qian Xiwen, here, he did something like this Things, what he has done in his life in learning, is not fake."
"He and his family died yesterday." The gentleman named Ning Yi paused: "I hope everyone can remember such a story and remember that there is such a person. Today's talk is over, everyone If you have any ideas, you can say it now."
Almost before he had finished speaking, a child raised his hand and stood up indignantly: "Mr. Ning, do you mean to say that the court is the good person? You want to say that we are the bad person?" . Ning Yi, who was in front of him, looked at it lightly, and didn't speak until the clamor in the classroom was finished.
"Good people, bad people, it's not that simple, I can't tell you who is good and who is bad, I only tell you to be human. Today your parents asked you to come to this school to study the Four Books and Five Classics, read and study history, why? The people in the imperial court spend their whole lives reading this. You stand in different places, but you learn the same thing. I want to tell you that what you want to learn is all in what this old man did. I'm your husband, and I think you really want to learn well, so you shouldn't miss him."
"About what is good or bad, right or wrong, it's not that one person stands in a good place, the other person must stand in a bad place. Corrupt officials are rampant, and Hua Shigang makes trouble for the people. Get up and kill them, this is a good thing, you read, book What I want to teach you, at least what I want to teach you, is also the same thing. What the old man did is also a good thing. I tell you what he did to remind you that there is an old man who studied Confucianism, and he has Your own way, he has done such a thing, to such an extent, in the future, you must have your own perseverance, don't lose to him... will you lose to him?"
After all, children and young people have a lot of blood. Ning Yi asked this question, and everyone suddenly shouted: "Of course not!" But naturally there are people who want to ask simple right or wrong, Ning Yi paused for a while and looked at everyone.
"If you are children born in Taiping, I shouldn't tell you this, Tian Yuchang, Chen Qiu... Some of you are too young, I shouldn't teach you too complicated things too early, right or wrong, you may listen I don't understand. But you are not children born in peacetime. Most of you should have experienced it. You are fighting, your father is fighting, just like Yu Sihe, you have already been on the battlefield, right?"
One of them, about fifteen or sixteen years old, raised his head.
"Then you should know that the battle is far from over. I hope you will not go to the battlefield again, but you are the children of the generals, so you must be prepared. There are many corrupt officials in the court, and many are only concerned with fighting for power and profit. There are hopeless people who don’t care about the life and death of the people, but there are also some people, they are the same as this old man, I don’t want you to become the part of the corrupt officials who only care about looting the people’s fat, even if it’s only a part.”
"Since you are here to study, call me Mr. I hope you all become like the old man. You must have faith in your life. When you pick up a knife, you must remember why you picked it up. Corrupt officials have no Dao, so you kill officials and rebel, the world is corrupt, and you set things right. You have to remember that you picked up your sword to make what you see around you better."
"Those who grew up in Taiping, they went to the school to learn how to be an official, or to learn how to read Braille. In the future, they will have a skill in copying and writing. When you enter the school, your parents say that you have a future, but this promise, I don’t want to just learn to intrigue and become officials. If you learn faith, then it will be meaningful, and you will truly learn what is said in this collection of scriptures and history.”
After saying this, there was some silence in the classroom. Naturally, some children understand vaguely, but they are too young, and at most they can only memorize ignorantly. Many years later, they may remember that someone said such a thing at the beginning, but now, they can still only read Looking at the companions around me, I feel slightly lost. One of the nine-year-olds raised his hand and said timidly, "Then... sir, did we kill the old man by mistake?"
"That's right." Ning Yi shook his head, "You have to learn in the future, admire the enemy, learn from the enemy, but don't try to sympathize with them, especially in this case, he will never surrender, so you can only kill him. There is an enemy, his martial arts is strong, everyone thinks he is powerful, you say, he is really powerful, when it comes to fight, if you also think, he is awesome, if you kill him, you can't bear it, then you will die. You have to have your own perseverance. The stronger and bigger the enemy is, the more you should devote 12% of your strength to kill them. But... if you have time, you can bury the old man's body and put incense sticks on him. of."
After all, the children couldn't feel such a complicated concept of good and evil. The young children basically felt that the old man was a good person, and it was a pity to die. After listening to Ning Yi talking about burial and incense, they nodded.
On the railing of the corridor outside, the young man in black who was sitting spat out the grass stem in his mouth, frowned, and left at a leisurely pace...
There was no major event in the academy. Ning Yi's lecture on Qian Xiwen shocked the entire academy in the next day or two. On the one hand, everyone sighed at Qian Xiwen's tragic and solemnity, and on the other hand, it also caused various discussions about Ning Yi. Some people admired his courage, and some felt that he was impatient. I was a little surprised on which side he was on.
In such an atmosphere, apart from interacting with a group of students, Ning Yi became the most isolated person in the academy. Some people admired him, but did not dare to interact with him. Some people were unhappy with him and just looked at him quietly. What will happen. As for outside the academy, his lectures on this day had more or less influence.
The bones of the Qian family were later officially buried. The person who handled the matter was a general named Yu Kaitai. He was the father of Yu Sihe. He didn’t know Ning Yi’s background. That gentleman taught my son very well." There were also a few people who heard those words and felt that this gentleman was mortified, but after that, he didn't make any chaotic actions. It seemed that someone was secretly preventing them from doing so.
Then, starting from the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, it was a series of auspicious days. There was a lot of uproar in the city of Hangzhou, including the Green Forest Conference, which was composed of a large group of green forest heroes. And so on, because of the official support, it has made a lot of momentum. Then there are parades, carnivals, "tributaries from all over the world" sent by various uprising places and cottages, etc., etc., and so on, and finally, Fang La's proclamation ceremony.
In fact, all this has been confirmed half a month ago, the team of the court is almost formed, and the news has already been publicized. It is only at this time that it is officially announced to the world, the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty.
Well, this chapter is number four, it's not too late...
