"Everyone can be Yao and Shun... This is the line of Taoism, Wenren, that Ning Gongzi, has the idea of great harmony... It's just a little dangerous..."
The words Ji Kun said after a slight pause in the room also made Wen Ren Buer probably know everyone's attitude towards Ning Yi.
In the Ba Dao Camp, the things that Ning Yi and Liu Dabiao got together naturally had various considerations. Wen Renbuer collected all the information and sent it to Bianliang after the city was broken. It was also because of the investigation that, although Liu Xigua seemed reckless, he was actually a very smart person. To deceive her, even Ning Yi, it is not easy.
He didn't look at the deep meaning of the things Ning Yi made. I originally believed that if the teacher or the people around the teacher would see the clues of the whole situation, I never thought that what really attracted the attention of the teacher was not the poems that Ning Yi wrote to Liu Dabiao, or the fact that he was in the school. The records of various behaviors and words in the Battalion Battalion are the words on the table, although he is leading them, but most of them are not written by him.
In the Ba Dao Camp, Ning Yi collected a large number of literati who lived in anxiety after the fall, gave them the task of writing articles, and then asked them to exchange articles for food. This move later retained a large number of literati, and even their families survived. However, even in the eyes of others, the articles reported by these people are really of low quality. In his opinion, a great writer like Ning Yi is naturally well aware of this, and he collects those articles in batches. Now, even if people are sometimes reprimanded and food is not distributed, it is because these guys have gone too far.
At that time, most of the literati in Hangzhou still felt that Ning Yi helped Zhou to abuse and became a lackey in the tyrants. But from Wenren Buer's point of view, Ning Yi can be described as bearing the burden of humiliation and protecting so many people even though it is not easy to protect himself. He really has the style of a sage. On the other hand, these guys are also literary. Writing an article is perfunctory. Liu Xigua is not stupid. If the blame comes down, the pressure will naturally be on Ning Yi.
If it is possible, Wen Ren Bu'er tends to let these people recognize Ning Yi's life-saving grace after the city is broken, but then all this has to be hidden in the dark, and it is difficult to explain it clearly. As for the articles written by these literati, it is not a secret. They wrote it in the first place. Ning Yi sent it to the school of Ba Dao Camp, and asked the students to read, read, and even put forward what was wrong. There were many copies. Although the conclusions of these articles are slightly deviated from today's mainstream thinking, the intention is to proceed from the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it is not a reactionary text. It's just that he got here, but Qin Siyuan took it seriously.
"Mingui, Sheji, Junqing... Everyone can be Yao and Shun, or use nine. Seeing a group of dragons without a leader, Ji... Maybe these things are just complaining on the side of the rebels. But when you think about it, it's amazing. Yao Zunian opened his mouth and said, "The ancient sages and sages ruled the world with virtue, but what is the rule of virtue? The sages educate the people. The people follow their teachings. What people do, they fail because the villagers are not educated. But how to educate, how to educate to be useful, is actually the real difficulty...”
"Niangong means..." Wen Renbuer thought about it and looked at the articles on the table, "Is this useful?"
"Dongweng and I think that in a small area, it may be really useful." Yao Zunian nodded, "As for whether it is useful in the world, how can I see what the saints can't do... Of course... These articles are really a bit of a joke... But the direction is not necessarily wrong. He has done a lot of things in the Ba Dao Camp. Those who seem to be playing tricks on talent and talent, but let the high-level cheating, and even deliberately want to cause public outrage , the important thing is not really to choose the talented, but to make people understand that if you want something in a circle, you must first reach out and get it, otherwise you will definitely not have anything. This kind of self-awareness is the most rare... "
He paused for a while: "And if it's just these little things, it can only prove that this young master Ning has a hand in manipulating people's hearts. He has already demonstrated this ability to the fullest before. Only these articles in front of him prove that he What I want to touch is not only the human heart. Wenren, who can take things into consideration, is enough to sit down and talk with anyone. Because only these things can pass on the Taoism. This is already human nature, and It’s not just about people’s hearts. What this Young Master Ning did in the Ba Dao Camp seems to be a little playful on the surface, but these interlocking things are definitely not something that one person can think about in a year or two. It's clear... this Young Master Ning is a member of my generation."
Wen Ren Bu'er hesitated for a moment: "But... we have also talked along the way, and he seems a little disapproving of this... "
"Dongweng said the same thing." Yao Zunian laughed, "When I was in Jiangning, it was said that Young Master Ning had a lazy temperament, and was dismissive of Confucianism and Taoism, but now I think about him wrong. I understand. The more you know, the more difficult it is to walk, especially the idea of great harmony. It’s easier said than done. Since ancient times, at the beginning, I was warm-hearted, and then when I saw the world, I became disheartened, and I don’t know how many people retreated to the mountains. , the officialdom is slammed, the world is mediocre, after he resigned from office, he went into seclusion, and he no longer asked more about the world."
"This Young Master Ning is said to be dull and unremarkable when he was young, but when he became an adult, he suddenly joined a businessman's family as his son-in-law. Wenren, if it weren't for the ups and downs of his mood, who would make such a choice?"
Wenren Buer touched his nose: "Well, I was curious about this too..."
"After he joined the family, his temperament became more free and easy, and he obviously let go of what he thought. It's just that after Confucianism and Taoism, he either said he didn't understand or behaved dismissively, trying to draw a clear line. People, it is said that this Ning family used to be a family of poetry and books. He studied from a young age until he was married, and he was still a Confucian scholar. However, when he entered the family, he suddenly said that he had nothing to do with the status of a Confucian scholar. Although he claimed to have amnesia, he was a Confucian. People have been studying for more than ten years, and they have been accompanied by the Four Books and Five Classics almost since childhood, how can they suddenly lose it? Now that the whole world reads Confucius and Mencius, why should he show his position so clearly?"
Wenren nodded: "... He pretended?"
"He won't admit it himself, and we don't have to ask about it if we want to come here. But I have seen people with amnesia. If you say that some people were dull before and suddenly became enlightened, this kind of situation also exists. But even if there are, There are also traces before and after. It is really strange to look like this Young Master Ning. Suddenly he opened his mind. Poetry and prose came easily, but he showed that he was not familiar with Confucianism. The front and back behaved like two completely different people. .It is not so much an enlightenment, but it is more like I have figured out something and I have suddenly become enlightened. I have not yet gotten to know him, so I can only think about it like this."
"If it's like being a monk for him, it is indeed possible." Wen Ren Buer frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and looked at the people around him. "Guanning Liheng acts, and he can do anything under the atmosphere. It is true that only people who let go can do it. Niangong said this, it is really possible, he chose to join the family. In fact, he let go of the things that originally troubled him, Only then did he start to look at the world again, but he would never touch those things that bothered him before, if it hadn't been in Hangzhou..."
"If it hadn't been in Hangzhou, he wouldn't have taken them out again." Yao Zunian continued with a smile, "I'll wait to see his poems, some of the poems he wrote are free and easy. But I don’t respect them very much. When it comes to writing to Liu Xigua, there are some great ones, some lingering and graceful, but they are still the first classics. If the facts are not in front of me, I will never believe them. One person can write easily. It can only be said that he is a genius for so many things. It is because he writes so well that he does not care. Perhaps because of this, what he has thought about since he was a child can only be more troublesome issues, except for the idea of great harmony, What else can make someone like that act dumb all day."
"It's just a pity, he didn't have a teacher with commensurate knowledge by his side. He missed the best time, but instead made him go to the top of his head. The older he gets, the more he realizes the difficulties of the world, and it may not make sense, so he chose to join the family. , and then, due to amnesia, became another person..."
In Yao Zunian's sighing words, a speculation about Ning Yi was formed. To be honest, a young man in his twenties would think about Taoism and think about giving up everything. This kind of thing is a bit surprising. However, the poems and essays that Ning Yi has done are placed in front of them, and the things he has done are far more than The sophistication of peers. On the contrary, it makes people feel that this thing may really be possible.
In the capital, there is no shortage of geniuses. There are always people who have seen geniuses among geniuses. In the seat, except for Ji Kun and Wenren, the other three have been called geniuses. Ning Yi was able to draw an outline of things related to "Datong", even though it was shocking, it was still understandable after all. That's why, even Cheng Zhouhai, who has always been somewhat cynical, seemed quite curious about this Ning Liheng.
The sound of rain outside the window gradually approached evening, and everyone chatted and waited 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, so he would come back later and let everyone eat first.
Qin Siyuan went to the Ministry of Household for something this afternoon, and he should have come back at this time. At this time, the room was filled with some of the closest aides. At this time, the monk Jue Ming smiled and said, "Could it be that Tang Qinsuo was dragged to go there. Banquet?"
The butler was familiar with everyone, and said with a smile: "The person who heard the report said that he was going to Xiaozhufang."
When he said this, everyone was a little stunned. Today, the three most famous brothels in Bianliang are Fanlou, Tingyanju, and Xiaozhufang. Qin Siyuan was naturally a romantic scholar in the past. To be a guest or to participate in a banquet, of course it is impossible to say that there are no brothel women, but he himself has not had things in the past for a long time. If it is not an important event such as a grand literary meeting, the prime minister of a country may not be in the brothel again. appear in. After hesitating, Yaozu asked in a young voice, "Who treats guests?"
The housekeeper said: "It seems that the Sixteenth Young Master is over there."
"Oh, I understand." Yao Zunian understood and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.
****************
The rain was falling, and the sky was getting dark earlier than usual. As one of the three buildings in the capital, Xiaozhufang, the lights were lit up in spots, like the light gradually floating on the water in the blue-gray sea.
Located in the center of Bianliang City, but not a prosperous street, Xiaozhufang occupies a large area. Several nearby gardens are the property of brothels. On weekdays, everyone is a good place to rest. 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 this kind of place spend money, not purely to vent.
At this time, it was approaching evening, and there were one or two literary clubs open in the courtyard of the square, and there were occasional people entering and leaving the gate of the brothel. Or well-dressed. Or the feather fan and silk scarf, the little servant or maid who followed holding the umbrella, occasionally greeted each other, and most of them showed good cultivation. Regardless of whether they are beasts or not, most of them will pay attention to their clothes when they go out.
At this moment, a carriage stopped quietly on the street outside Xiaozhufang, in the rain. The driver of the car was sitting upright. Although he was soaked by the heavy rain, he still remained motionless, staring at the behavior around him like a torch. One of them has entered the gate of the brothel after listening to the instructions. There are many dignitaries in the capital, and the pomp of this carriage can’t be considered too big. At this time, it will not attract too much attention when it is parked in the rain. It is the beautiful old bustard at the door who came to greet and inquire on the principle of not neglecting anyone, and was waved. Return.
In the small candle square, the courtyards and buildings are still relatively harmonious, talking about poetry and writing, sitting and talking. Or listening to talented girls sing. He talked about his recent troubles. But today, over the rain. In one of the largest and most splendid courtyards, some relatively vulgar games were being played in a lively atmosphere at this time. Among the lights, a voice stood out from the crowd. Even in the clamor after the four doors were closed, it could pass through the cracks of the door and the rain curtain, showing its extraordinaryness.
The guy was laughing and shouting.
"…Little cock~~Little~cock~~~Beautiful! My little~cock is gone... See if it's in your skirt, wow hahahahaha... Where do you want to go, you must You're the one who hid my little dick..."
In this voice, there is an indescribable lewdness, and in such a tone, there is no sense of disobedience.
In the room, the half-naked woman hurriedly avoided. The young man dressed in fancy clothes and messy clothes pounced with a smirk...
In the room at this time, there were many people, both men and women. At this time, many women were half-dressed and were held in their arms or pressed down. Among the brothels, of course, they were all prostitutes, but in this environment, many women still had embarrassed and embarrassed expressions on their faces. Xiaozhufang itself is a more elegant place, and the women with relatively high net worth are mostly talented women. Although it is not that they have never slept with others, they are still relatively respected in most cases. It's just that the current group of young masters can't offend them, and they don't care about your restraint, so there are always a small number of women who feel insulted. Of course, it doesn't mean that some people can't bear it.
Of course, the famous sons who followed have their own personalities. Some of them have simply pressed the woman under their body and touched them with a strange smile. It's their mood to flirt.
At this time, on the side of the room, a young man in his early twenties was also hugging the woman beside him and immersed himself in enjoying it. His hand was already stretched into the other side's skirt, and the woman could only smile and struggle symbolically. A wretched man next to him turned his head and said, "Hey, look, look... The most fun thing to do every time is that Huahua is too old, haha, what's up, Brother Shaoyu, the elder brother didn't introduce you to the wrong person. Well, when I'm free, my brother will introduce you to..."
During the conversation, the slutty man in the room called Hua Hua Tai Sui had already pulled out half of the woman's skirt with a laugh. In any case, being naked in front of so many people still made the woman unacceptable, with a crying voice. Pulling on her skirt was tug-of-war with the other party, which made the other party even more excited and laughed even louder. The man here called Shao Yu nodded with a smile, but his hand was unwilling to leave the beautiful woman next to him. At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
The door knocked several times, and the man in the room who was pulling his skirt pointed back: "Don't open the door! Hahahaha... No one is allowed to come in! I'm looking for my little dick, what should I do if it runs away when I open the door?"
But the door was pushed open afterward, and the man turned his head suddenly alert and looked at the door several times, then put his hands on his hips: "Lu Qian! I told you not to open the door! Did you see it! Did you see it? ! Little dick! Now my little dick has run away Who is this guy? What is the origin of this guy! My father is Gao Qiu"
He shouted from his waist, and the woman behind him quickly pulled back her skirt and put it on, while hugging her chest and trying to find other clothes. At the door, a man with a knife in Yuhou's official residence lowered his head and walked in. Another black-clothed servant bowed his hands to everyone. He hadn't come in yet, but Qin Shaoyu here was agitated and let go of the woman beside him. Then he waved his hand and got up: "My family, my family..." Xiao ran to the door.
"Who are you from your family! Hey. Who knows who he is? My father is Gao Qiu, let's see if I can offend you..."
"Young Prime Minister's nephew..." Lu Qian, who came over, whispered in his ear.
"Uh... Qin... Old man Qin? My father seems to say that he is more powerful than Li Gang... That's why he can't be provoked? That's fine... "
He stood on his hips with a frustrated look on his face. over the door. After Qin Shaoyu had said a few words with Jiading, he also turned his head cautiously to apologize, saying that he was going back immediately, and followed Jiading to leave quickly. After the person left, Hua Hua Tai Sui just pointed to the other side and scolded: "You dare not call him here next time... Lu Qian, don't you go out soon! Close the door!"
Then he turned his head and turned his fists towards the grieving woman in the back who was picking up clothes: "Hey, little chicken~ chicken~ What do you want to do? You want to hide my little cock again, right? I just I like the way you look like you want to cry. Hahahaha... You should cry quickly..."
The sound is getting smaller and the rain is still there. Qin Shaoyu ran out of the main entrance of Xiaozhufang with a look of panic. He didn't even open his umbrella. He stood in front of the curtain for a while, when he heard someone say, "Come in." Only then did he dare to lift the curtain and go up. .
There was a small table in the relatively spacious carriage, and Qin Siyuan and a master who followed him were sitting on both sides. There were papers piled up around him. Qin Siyuan, with half-white hair, squinted his eyes and read a copy. He frowned and wrote a few words on it and put them aside. Only then did Qin Shaoyu dare to call out, "Uncle, uncle..."
"The fleet heading north has arrived at Bianliang this afternoon."
Qin Siyuan glanced at him, knocked on the wall of the car next to him, and the carriage started to drive. During the slight shaking, the old man's tone was flat. Not like swearing. But Qin Shaoyu was still panicking: "Uh, uncle, uncle. I, I... I thought it was raining..." He didn't know how to justify it for a while.
"I know." Qin Siyuan nodded, "Your brother Wenrenshi has already arrived at home. If you see him tonight or tomorrow, you should be more respectful and ask for his favor. As for that brother Ning Yi, Ningshi, now I should have lived in Wenhui Building. I hoped that you would meet at the first time. Knowing a useful person is a hundred times better than knowing those young masters. It's a big benefit. It's not too late now, just drop by, I'll take you to see him."
Qin Shaoyu's body was shocked, and then he stammered: "How, how can you let Uncle go to visit him, Uncle, yes, I was wrong, but what kind of identity are you, how can you go to visit him first. I, I'll be here. Go to Wenhui Building and ask Ning Shixiong to admit his mistake, uncle…”
Qin Siyuan is in charge of every day, and the discipline of his family is not enough after all. Qin Shaoyu came to the capital, although he also felt the majesty of Qin Siyuan, but he also felt the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, it's hard to play any role, but at this moment, it made Qin Shaoyu panic, and he subconsciously felt that his uncle went to see Ning Yi for him. He couldn't help but want to get out of the car and run to Wenhui Building first, but in front of Qin Siyuan, he didn't dare say run and run, and Qin Siyuan's face showed a smile and waved his hand.
"Okay, I have a sense of proportion. I need to talk about the etiquette, but I don't have to be too hypocritical. This little friend, I have a relationship with him. If you want to talk about what he has done, it's not an exaggeration to treat him as a teacher. Yes, when you arrive at Wenhui Building later, you go in and invite him to come and sit in my car. I'll just pass by. That's it. You have a better attitude towards the people around him. You can entertain him with all your heart these days. If you can get it His favor is your fate in the future."
Qin Shaoyu nodded hurriedly, although he always felt that it was not good for his uncle to meet Ning Liheng in the past, but more importantly, he still felt that this uncle who was the prime minister took care of him. After saying those words, the old man picked up another item and it seemed that Qin Shaoyu was chewing on this thought. After a while, the old man put down the book, and before picking up another one, he said to him: "Gao Chengen's people, try to keep as little contact with them as possible."
Qin Shaoyu nodded quickly. Then I saw the old man put his hand to his mouth, coughed, picked up another notebook, and then slowly said the next sentence.
"The character is not good, and the name is like a eunuch, which is not auspicious."
