It is natural for Ning Yi to feel unfamiliar with some things in this city after leaving Jiangning for nearly a year. If he can know the expansion of Zhuji in the past year, as well as the names of several new restaurants and teahouses in the city , presumably the doubts in my heart will be swept away.
In the past year, Zhuji has opened a total of three new stores, the first Mingyuelou has become one of the largest restaurants and entertainment venues in Jiangning. The second is a tea house called Qingyuan, which consists of courtyards or boxes with different styles. Most of them are places for literati and writers to gather. Some women who do not sell their bodies sit in the town, which is extremely elegant. As for the third one, Yilanju, the style is between the two. It is not very popular, but it has the sound of silk and bamboo, and occasionally people tell stories. It is similar to the western restaurants of later generations. It is a bit petty, but it is normal. place to eat.
In fact, the three stores have all changed from Ning Yi's previous ideas and have different styles. In fact, they rely on Kang Xian's support behind them. The Chengguo Princess Mansion in Jiangning has never been involved in the communication on the scene, but in fact it is a domineering behemoth with intertwined roots. Kang Xian sends an order to go out. From this concubine.
In fact, some things were already done when Ning Yi left. He contacted some brothel women who were not selling their jobs and came to Zhuji to sit in the town. He also bought some young boys and girls to train storytellers, juggling, acting and so on. A little can help out in the shop. For these things, Ning Yi once took a sum of money from Kang Xian, saying that it was the copyright fee for the previous disaster relief booklet, but he took it with confidence.
However, Yunzhu felt that this was a loan, and in the past few months, she has been returning it to Kang Xian one after another. Kang Xian doesn't want it, but her temperament is stubborn, and she feels that Kang Xian has been asking about Ning Yi's news. Still owe him money. In the end, Kang Xian had no choice but to take over. Secretly, the fame of Zhuji Mingyuelou and Qingyuan was held up. The large and small banquets went to Mingyuelou, and the literati gathered or held poetry meetings at Qingyuan. It was run by him and held in Qingyuan, and he immediately became famous. After a year, Yilanju no longer needed his advertisements.
After arriving at the Concubine's Mansion all the way, after finding Kang Xian who was watching a play with his family, the Concubine first talked about it. That is, the development of Zhuji in the recent period. Ning Yi came back from Hangzhou. Everything that happened during this time, he is basically clear, there is no more trouble and tail. You don't need to take these extra treats.
"... One thing, it's very interesting, the front hall of Qingyuan. I collected a lot of poems and made them into plaques to hang. Your poems are at the forefront. When the poetry meeting of Lichuan Academy was held in Yuanxi, a blue jade table was placed. There, not many people dared to write lyrics to show their shame, and it has been talked about since then."
After saying hello to Zhou Xuan, Ning Yi followed Kang Xian towards the garden at the back. Hearing what he said, Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "Is this too much?"
"Well, no..." Kang Xian waved his hand. "Of course your girl Yunzhu helped you spread the word, but I was there at the time. I don't know why. When everyone talks about your sapphire case, there were really a lot fewer people who wrote Yuan Xi poems that night. Some people say you You have already exhausted the splendid work of the lyrics, the melody is comfortable, and there are few words in the world. Hehe... It's the few songs you wrote in Hangzhou. It can be reversed from the previous majestic atmosphere, and it is extremely graceful. If you let these people know, I am afraid that I really want to... say that you are a poet and a sage..."
Ning Yi frowned: "How many songs in Hangzhou?"
"It's that Changji River Pavilion at sunset, so intoxicated that I don't know the way to return. I returned to the boat late when I was overwhelmed, and strayed into the depths of lotus blossoms... This short song is like a dream. It feels like it's right in front of you. You can also use this kind of word. Write it down… "
After all, Kang Xian was a literati, even if he secretly shared with Qin Siyuan the importance of use, but heirs of Confucianism, how could there be any bad poetry. Ning Yi smiled: "That's not what I wrote."
"It's okay for others. In front of this old man, you don't have to say that. Remember the other few lines, the three mountains are halfway down to the blue sky, and the two waters are divided into Bailuzhou. You wrote this poem in front of me and Siyuan earlier. , at first it was only a fragmentary sentence. This time in Hangzhou, you have filled it up. Phoenix swims on the Phoenix stage, and the phoenix goes to the Taikong river. , The Ershui divides Bailuzhou. It is always because the floating clouds can block the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad..."
Kang Xian read it out. In the end, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head: "If someone told me, I wouldn't believe it. The poems are exquisite, so you don't have to write them. This last sentence is the only one. , exposing your feet, always because the clouds can block the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad. When you wrote your poems, you imitated the style of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how much time you spent on such words... To be honest, I don't believe it if it's all smooth, but for you, I'm afraid this poem is no longer a slogan, it's just you... Alas , I don't know how to say it, praise you, or scold you to be worthy of myself. In short, with people like you, I can't wait. I don't know whether I want you to write more songs in the future, or Just tell you to stop writing..."
All in all, when it comes to this, the old man sighed at first, and then became depressed. Ning Yi naturally understood the meaning. Kang Xian thought that he wrote these poems. Ordinary people must have their own style when writing poems. The watermelon was just easy, and Li Qingzhao also threw it out. It was nonsense at the time, but these two completely different styles fell into Kang Xian's eyes and became another meaning.
To be able to play with several different styles of writing can only prove that the author has gone far beyond this level, or that Ning Yi is such a genius, enough to play with words in his hands. As long as he needs to, he can substitute himself into the style of the Tang Dynasty, and write poems such as "Climbing the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling", or completely different scenes such as "The Journey of a Knight" and "Like a Dream".
Naturally, it would be hard to believe if it was just talking about it, but of course there are all kinds of geniuses in the world. Just like some genius mathematicians in modern times, their greatness is not because of the logic that ordinary people can understand, but because the numbers themselves are alive in their eyes. There must be such people in any era. Kang Xian may not have seen similar ones. After he can be sure that the poem was written by Ning Yi, he can only regard Ning Yi as such a genius after eliminating all possibilities. . Even if he has no reverence for poetry, the poetry itself is like mud in his hands, and can be rounded and flattened casually. This is naturally frustrating for a literati who has worked tirelessly throughout his life.
He already thought so, and Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh. After a while, Kang Xiancai said: "These poems, it's better for you to hang on the head of the rebels. Will there be a chance to rectify your name in the future? I guess you don't care. However, if you decide to go to Beijing, before that I have something I want to ask you... I could talk about it in a few days, but it's been too long."
At this time, he has reached the pavilion in the center of the rear garden. There was no one around, Kang Xian's expression became serious, and Ning Yi also frowned: "What's the matter?"
"The things you did in the Battalion Camp. You have thought about it carefully. What do you want to do?"
"For the time being, it's used to deceive people."
"Really?" the old man asked, staring at him with burning eyes, but Ning Yi's eyes didn't fluctuate too much, only after a while, he smiled slightly.
"If you go any further, you'll break the taboo, I know. You're not the first person to ask me about this recently, huh..." Ning Yi smiled. "But you also know that in a hundred or so years, these ideas will be useless at all, and at most they will be used to confuse those who think too ideally. If Duke Ming cares about this, it means that you are also an ideal person."
The old man's eyes were stern, he shook it slightly, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Of course I know. These ideas are useless for a hundred or more decades, but what did you think?"
Ning Yi thought for a while: "Then... we don't talk about Confucianism, we only talk about use, and we talk about something big and transforming it?"
"Oh, you never speak Confucianism. I'm not someone who can't understand words. If you can explain the truth clearly, it's up to you."
"From ancient times to the present. Every time the dynasty is replaced, what a country will become, from the beginning of its establishment, it has actually been decided."
The lights came over, and the pool outside the pavilion reflected a little wave of light. There was a faint sound of singing in the distance. It was peaceful, but Ning Yi knew that the old man in front of him was not just as simple as welcoming him back. Representatives of a group of people from , there are some things that can't fool them. Some things written and said in the Ba Dao Camp enter their ears, and they can see the clues of danger. Maybe he hasn't fully figured out the trick yet, so he may not take his own handwriting too seriously, but if he really cares about it, the smiling and kind old man in front of him also has the ability to turn this place into a banquet... and courageous.
Therefore, he thought for a while and started with this sentence.
"The reason for saying this is that when each dynasty opens, the emperor or the ideological trend at that time will determine the dynasty..." He raised his hand and made a stroke, "It will determine what the ruling class of this dynasty attaches more importance to, if we There is only one requirement, such as a strong country, it is very simple, reduce constraints and let the local development go, within three generations, as long as this country is still there, we can flatten the aliens and recover Youyan, who says it can’t be done.”
"All dynasties perished by the weak, and the Han Dynasty perished by the strong. We run the country like the Han Dynasty, and then we can perish like the Han Dynasty. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties paid more attention to centralization and checks and balances, and the emperor said that his subordinates should be equal. People are constantly suspicious and reach a balance. Now we are talking about how to revitalize the military equipment. In fact, there is a very simple way. Let's assume... I only make assumptions here. According to the standard of the Han Dynasty, within sixty years, if the Wu Dynasty is still there, then if there is still an inch of land for the Liao and Jin to the north, I will cut off your head."
Kang Xian looked at him: "Assumption?"
"Well, hypothetical." Ning Yi nodded: "The reason why it is hypothetical is that it is irresponsible. Under the current situation, if it is really done, the princes will join together in less than 20 years. But I just want to say this. It is said that every dynasty and every generation, what the above focuses on is actually controllable, but there are not many directions to choose. If you go in one direction, other things will have to be discarded. We chose the current prosperity of Jiangning, but we can’t see it. The scene where the tiger is like a cloud, and the scene of breaking through the Helan Mountain is all chosen by myself."
"so what?"
"Ming Gong, I know that the so-called Confucianism's so-called peace and prosperity is to find the best state. But today we don't talk about it, we only talk about the use. Since the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the direction it is going. It has been decided, we established Confucianism. The net of the government will continue to be tightened, tightened, and tightened again. From ancient times to the present, why did the reformers never end well, because any system will spontaneously maintain its own state and trend, why does the Northern Expedition have problems , because this net is already intertwined, and whoever wants to show off their powers. Everyone will be bloody all over. Good things and bad things are the same, because no one will have room to show their strength. This is the best for the country. This is the foundation of the country. It was decided at the time that you won't be allowed to move! If this northern expedition succeeds, we are really lucky. The force used is also large enough, but what will happen next? Can't you see? The net will be tightened. ."
Ning Yi tilted his head and smiled: "I came back from Hangzhou this time, and I have a lot of relationships. The Su family has a relative named Song Mao Song Yufan, who is a prefect in another place, Ming Gong, you know what will happen next, wait. When he comes, he will come to visit me. The interests of our two sides will be linked together, and it will become more powerful, but maybe he is a corrupt official, and I will be implicated by him in the future. This is a risk. The property of Chengguo Princess Mansion belongs to the royal family. It seems that you are in charge of yourself, but. What kind of entanglements are behind you? You know yourself. These people represent various interests. Duke Qin was assassinated. Gong. Is there such a person behind you?"
Kang Hyun frowned.
Ning Yi continued: "No one can move. At the beginning of the country, these have been decided. Now, the current sage can't change it. If he wants to change, even he will be broken. Maybe there are two generations who are willing to take the risk. Such a danger to lead the country to the other side, but who really dares?"
"Ming Gong, you are now studying Neo-Confucianism, and then you can say that the principles of the heavens and the desires of the people are eliminated. What rules people follow, everything is stipulated clearly, how men are, women, saints, and they are all carved out of molds. This is Dao, but if you want to use it, it means that people can't move, and they can't move more and more. If today's world is only my Wu Dynasty, after a thousand years of development, the Wu Dynasty will not collapse. This is to create peace for all generations... But The country has enemies. We chose this direction. If we are surrounded by rules and regulations, and all kinds of interests are entangled, we will end up with the current situation of the Northern Expedition.
"In fact, there is a natural gap with what you said. It's really gone wrong. People who dare to reform the law and run into bloody people can be found in any dynasty or generation." It's similar to what you said, so what does it have to do with what you did in the Naba Sword Camp?"
"It's a bit big to say that there will be peace in the world. In fact, whether it is to govern a country or to engage in politics, it is generally to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. It seems to be carrying a steel scale, and it keeps shaking. Where there is a problem, there is a patch. Going in the direction, Mencius said that there will be kings in five hundred years, and a dynasty will come to an end in five hundred years. Because the tightening is too tight, it will become more and more difficult for others to have hope, and grievances will grow. Then, with a bang, The weight fell to the ground, and once it fell to the ground, people would be worse than pigs and dogs..."
Ning Yi paused: "But maybe there is a way to avoid this, maybe not the best, but it can avoid the worst."
"That's what you did?"
"It's just a sentence, the minority obeys the majority."
Kang Xian laughed: "At that time, the minority behind you and behind me will obey the majority?"
"That's a matter of details. Duke Ming, Confucianism has been passed down for so many years, and every generation is replaced, and the person in the upper position is called the emperor. Cultural inheritance determines the entire rules and the way the system exists. Assuming that there will be such a system hundreds of years later, three or five When the year changes, some people want to rebel, and if there are many people, he can go up naturally, then will there be people who will rebel? The years when people are inferior to pigs and dogs are gone.
"How can this be, talk and guess when there are a lot of people? And do you know what the thief of rural virtue means? If you are in power, are you willing to give up the power in your hand? You will fight these things thoroughly in the few years you are in power. Be clean! And to ensure the continuation of this method, you… where do you place your holy grail? Your idea is outrageous." At the end, Kang Xian had subconsciously lowered his voice.
Ning Yi looked at him: "It's all trivialities, Duke Ming, don't tell me you can't think of it, it's the culture that everyone believes in that determines what this dynasty looks like, the culture, and the system - I call it the system. If everyone believes in It is the truth that the minority obeys the majority, and some things will gradually come out... And that should be hundreds of years later. The minority obeys the majority, everyone is saying, I just use another method to say it. Ming Lord, let's say something outrageous. If the Wu Dynasty can't last for five hundred years, shouldn't there be something new?"
"This is what you think..." Kang Xian sighed after a long time, "a... a new family. Since the Tang Dynasty, I have wanted to reach the world of Datong and donate my family property to live in the mountains to live with my elders and others. There are more than one person in the old life, and they all ended up sadly. Yours is different, so I took a closer look. Who knows... This is what you think. This idea is too unreasonable, you have to restrain yourself, heaven and earth. Things are immutable, how can the average minority be negotiated from the majority.”
The old man said that he was rebellious. In fact, there is no such thing as outrageous in my heart. Philosophy is the end of all disciplines. Since ancient times, there have been many Confucian scholars who are mad and unruly, and have all kinds of ideas. It is not necessarily that no one has mentioned the overall level to see why these ideas have formed. If you can't think like this , "The Analects of Confucius" talks more about the principles of being a human being, and half of the "Analects of Confucius" how to govern the world.
He wasn't vigilant about this, or because he was aware of the remoteness of the realization of this idea. It would be too much to punish people just because of the phrase "the minority obeys the majority". Confucianism also pays attention to the minority obeying the majority, but this is based on the concept of the same class, and what Ning Yi just said just spreads this concept to everyone. If he wants to do something, he has already touched the monarchs of heaven and earth. Teachers, the core of class divisions, would be really outrageous. And he just said that this theory may be better, it is just an overly bold discussion or experiment. Although Kang Xian disapproved, it was not enough to draw a line.
In Kang Xian's eyes, Ning Yi was nothing but a Confucian scholar who wanted to bring peace to the world, although he really didn't pay attention to Taoism. There are too many considerations in terms of simply "using", but these are the ideas. It is not necessarily without reference, but without Tao, there is a lack of soul.
After all, this is a young man who is too talented and too thoughtful. He sighed: "You can do things in Hangzhou because you always jump out of the rules and do things, and your horizons are always wider than others, but If you just jump out of the rules, something will happen eventually, it’s not that you don’t understand this, but if you want to go to Beijing next, I think I still have to remind you.”
"Well... But I'm still thinking about the matter of going to Beijing. Tan'er is about to give birth to a child, and Shumi Tong has already started going north. After all, I don't understand the specific operation of the officialdom, and I'm afraid that going to Beijing may not necessarily need me."
"Hey, it must be useful. When the matter in Hangzhou was passed to Bianjing, he wrote to me, asking you to go up after you come back. You also said that there are too many rules, but what is lacking is the ability to jump out of the rules. People who take a look, but those who can jump out of the rules and watch, are afraid of breaking the rules, and then old man Qin may not be able to keep you."
"I've been taught, I'll pay attention, let's take a look first, and then I'll talk about the housework here."
"What is there to deal with here, if there are a few clowns jumping beams in your family, I can do everything I can to help you. But your wife is pregnant, and if you want to come, you have to wait for the child to be born before leaving. The other thing is nothing more than Yunzhu's business. Is it arranged?"
"I'm having a headache. I came here this time to ask your opinion."
"Huh?" Although Kang Xian came up with the words, he seemed very puzzled at this time, "What's the headache?"
"A year ago, I thought about leaving Su's house and taking Yunzhu with me. Now I have a headache, Tan'er has already given birth to a child, should I break up with Yunzhu, but to be honest, between Yunzhu and I, I don't know. Ordinary brothels or the dewy feelings of women who are simply prostituting themselves... Oh, maybe everyone sees themselves this way. But right now, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, this is purely my own, I want to hear your opinion from the old man ."
"Ha...hahahahaha-" The old man suddenly laughed, the laughter was getting louder and louder, but it didn't stop. He has a lazy personality, but his abilities and talents are superior to others. In a troubled world, he might be a hero like Cao Cao. … it’s kind of hilarious.”
Ning Yi looked at the old man and curled his lips: "To be honest, I won't let go of any of them, and I never thought that I would really let go, and what do other people think? It doesn't matter, the real idea is: they are all my people. Why not? The reason why I ask you to be old is to ask you to say more about manly husbands, three wives and four concubines, and let me make this unreasonable and make it even more unreasonable. Be confident."
Kang Xian spread his hands: "I don't know why you think this can't be justified..."
"You know... the minority is subject to the majority... all are equal..."
"That is to say, you, your wife, or Yunzhu... are all treated equally."
Ning Yi laughed. In fact, the trouble was not necessarily as big as he said. Even in modern times, messy relationships between men and women are the norm in the circle he is in contact with. But if he is an ancient man, he will sincerely consider men and women in completely different positions, and he is a modern man after all. After he really pays attention to each other, everyone will really stand on the same line. This is what makes him Find the center interesting.
Kang Xian also looked at him for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder, his expression became a little serious: "Ning Liheng, Ning Liheng... To be honest, before, this old man regarded you as an interesting person with potential. I have a capable little friend to look at it, but tonight, I can finally say that there is no precedent for learning, and the person who achieves it is the first. You and I can sit down and talk about it without distinction. Things, but... Hahahahaha..." He said, and couldn't help laughing again, "You are a little too self-contained..."
Feeling that Ning Yi has really implemented these thoughts into his life, in this laughter, the old man completely eliminated some of his thoughts and his "rebelliousness". Of course, this is a misunderstanding...
"Men, three wives, four concubines, etc., means that you should not take women's affairs too seriously. This is so unreasonable, and I have nothing to say. Your wife respects you quite a bit. If you have a child, you should not abandon your wife, otherwise, you will be different from a beast. Miss Nie is so gentle and virtuous, waiting for you to come back, and she is not greedy for your family's wealth and family history. It's also right to be a wife. She really likes you, so she will be happy with how you treat her. If you miss out on such a woman, it will be difficult for you to find another one in your life. The old man has been dealing with their sisters a lot recently. I'm sorry for her, I asked Agui to grab you with a cloth bag and sink into Qin Huaihe..."
Ning Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and then laughed heartily with a "haha".
************
It overturned a very big plot line before. What exactly is it, I can't say it until the fourth episode is written. During the next period of time, when I may not be able to control it, I will try my best to post a single chapter or post a post in the book review area whether it is coded. If you make a post, it must be accurate. The standard is that if you really write badly, you have to suppress it, but posting a post is a reminder to me. I will always think about it, I can’t sleep, etc. Generally speaking, it is so.
Well, go to bed, good morning everyone.
