"I don't want to. "Besides, I wanted to know, but suddenly changed my mind.

"Why? aren't you curious?"

Curiosity killed the cat.

Besides, he thought about it in his heart, but he said: "A glimpse of the abyss fish is ominous." ”

"It's not as serious as you say, and it has something to do with you, I think you really should know. ”

"Something to do with me?" and his heart was a little uplifted. The day has always been a surprise.

"Come into the house, it's a little cold outside. ”

Besides, he realized that Pomegranate was only wearing a lotus gauze skirt, which blended into the moonlight like condensed milk, and he didn't even notice it.

The two came to the study, it was still early autumn, there was no need to light a fire in the room, and the two sat on either side of the desk, looking like they were going to have a formal conversation.

Pomegranate thought for a while before he spoke: "When you came today, you asked me where my two senior brothers went, and I didn't tell you the truth. ”

When she said this, she realized that she hadn't seen those two people that day, and on weekdays, the two of them were like the teacher's left and right attendants, never leaving an inch.

Besides, he didn't care about the meaning of Pomegranate's words, and said, "Didn't they go to the academy?"

"No, they're going to the capital. Pomegranate's eyes widened with a mysterious expression.

Besides, he nodded and did not speak.

"Why don't you ask?" Pomegranate was a little anxious.

"What do you ask?"

"What do you ask?!What do you ask, I can say something! You just ask them why they want to leave the old man? Why do they go to the capital? You don't ask me what to say. I can't talk to myself like a madman. ”

"Oh, then why did they leave the teacher, why did they go to the capital. Besides, he asked.

Pomegranate snorted angrily, but she understood that she couldn't afford to be angry, and she really needed to tell her about it. I had to continue: "That's the case, last month there was news from the capital, saying that the imperial court was going to agree to choose a sage to enshrine in the holy temple. ”

"Enshrined in the Holy Temple?" was surprised.

The holy temple is the temple of Confucius, the holy master, the imperial court has a temple, a holy temple, the temple is for the ancestors, and the temple is dedicated to Confucius.

Confucianism is also similar to other religions, there is a set of hierarchical systems, Buddhism has Buddha, Bodhisattva, King Kong, Confucianism also has the most holy, sub-sacred, Confucius is of course the most holy, there is only one, just like the Buddha.

Confucius came out of Yan Yuan, Zengzi, Mencius, etc., called Yasheng, the status is equivalent to the Bodhisattva, and later all dynasties and generations have chosen the people who have achieved the highest achievement and contributed the most to Confucianism in this dynasty, and the statue is also included in the temple, called the accompanying ceremony.

Companionship is to accompany the most holy and sub-holy to accept the sacrifice of the people of the world, and this group of people is equivalent to King Kong, or like the saints canonized by the pope in Christianity.

Generally speaking, no matter how good the present generation is, they cannot receive such treatment, and this kind of sainthood can only be determined by the coffin, and it will be judged by future generations. The present generation may have many prejudices or other factors that are not fair enough.

This is the highest honor that a literati can get in his life, because later emperors will lead the ministers of civil and military affairs to worship and worship together, and in terms of historical status, they have surpassed the emperor.

"The teacher is anxious about the enshrinement of Baisha Gong?" and immediately thought of it.

"Not really. It's good to talk to you, save effort, and it's thorough as soon as you say it. Pomegranate smiled, and then said: "But things seem to be a little difficult to do, the court is full of people from the Yangming School, so it seems that the ministers have agreed to have Wang Shouren enshrined in the holy temple." ”

Besides, suddenly, no wonder the old master is in a big hurry today, now the Chen school of science is relying on Chen Baisha's signboard to live, if this time Wang Shouren is enshrined in the holy temple, Chen Baisha has no chance, in the future, the Chen school may really be completely declining and dying out.

It's a matter of life and death.

"I will reveal a little secret to you, the old man himself knows that he can't fight the Yangming School, and these disciples under him are not opponents, so accepting you as an apprentice is to place the greatest hopes on you. So do you think it has anything to do with you?" said Pomegranate, pretending to be mysterious.

"Well, thank you for telling me. He nodded, his face heavy.

"Then you should know why the little prince is here today. Pomegranate said mysteriously.

"Aren't you looking for me to play chess? Oh, that's just a façade. Is it for the affairs of Baisha Gong? However, Taizu set the ancestral system: the honorable relatives and important ministers are not allowed to hear about state affairs, what can the senior brother do?"

"Of course he can't do anything, but Grandpa Guo can. ”

"Ah, I'm afraid that Grandpa Guo will not be willing to risk the impeachment of his ministers for the sake of Baisha Gong's affairs. Although the emperor has never lost his weight in the Zhongshan Palace, and the court also relies on the palace, this is the most important national policy after all. "And be skeptical.

"Hey, the old man is now sick and rushing to the doctor, just to let the senior brother pass the road of Grandpa Guo and win the opportunity to be enshrined for Baisha Gong. It's a pity that all this was disturbed by Master Lian. Do you think the old man will not be annoyed?"

And dumb. His brain sped up, and he immediately guessed that Chen Musa was willing to go to Zhongshan Wangfu to teach a child back then, probably for today.

Chen Musa's foresight is beyond ordinary people, he has long thought that this day will come, and the enshrinement of Baisha Gong will be the most important mission in the second half of his life. And only by relying on the support of the Zhongshan Palace, he was able to deal with the Yangming School in the imperial court.

Thinking about it like this, Grandpa Guo has already reacted. Although the situation is still unclear, it seems that there is more luck than luck. It was inconvenient for Grandpa Guo to let the people in the house come forward, and assigned Lian Daning to come late at night to recall his son, which is estimated to have something to do with this matter.

Lian Daning is tantamount to being a wicked person, but he went to Chen's Mansion but avoided the old master, which is really unspeakable.

Grandpa Guo didn't bring any information, and the little prince was in a hurry to leave, so it was certainly reasonable for Chen Musa to jump like thunder.

The imperial court is pressed by the ancestral system, and it is a fact that the princes and generals cannot participate in the affairs of the imperial court. However, the Zhongshan Mansion was an extraordinary military hero, supervising the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River and garrisoning Nanjing, and these privileges were enough to explain the special status of the prince in the imperial court.

If the grandfather of the country is willing to play the emperor secretly, there may be some hope for the enshrinement of the prince of Baisha.

But judging from today's scene, Grandpa Guo obviously made it clear that he wanted to stay out of the matter and was determined not to wade into this troubled water.

"Will this matter be settled soon?" Thinking of this, I was also a little anxious.

This matter is indeed related to him, if the Chen school is severely hit and declines from then on, the value of him, a closed disciple of Chen Musa, will also be greatly devalued.

"Of course, it's not so fast, it's just that the discussion has just begun, and it can't be decided in ten or eight years. Even ten or eight years may not be conclusive, but the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for the old man. Pomegranate once heard her uncle talk about it, and she also sweated for the old man.

"As long as there is time, there is hope. "It's easier.

"What is the hope? The imperial court will only gather more and more disciples of the Yangming School, and now that the imperial examination is basically controlled by them, it is difficult for people from other schools to have a chance to get ahead. So the longer it goes, the slimmer the hope. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can really turn the tide at the last minute, as the old man hopes, then there may be a chance of victory. Pomegranate's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with infinite anticipation.

"Don't expect anything from me, the future is unknown, but I'm certainly not going to take off, and that's not my goal. ”

Besides, he really felt that it was not within his power, after all, he just wanted to take the test and stop it. In the future, while writing and painting as a celebrity, he practiced medicine and traveled the world...... In the end, I want to go to the capital and complete the mission that sounds lofty, and my head hurts when I think about it.

The two chatted until almost dawn, and Pomegranate went back to sleep. This night's conversation, and the opinion of pomegranate is deeper, this girl is not a person who has no brains, the key is her trust in herself, this intimate warm feeling, which cannot be expressed in words.

The mystery and fun of life lies in this, when you see sorrow in joy, you suddenly see joy in sorrow.

Besides, he sat until dawn, and every time he thought of the teacher's angry appearance, he was really a little distressed, but unfortunately the matter was too important, and he couldn't do anything at all. For him, doing this is simply to overtake Mount Tai and surpass Beihai.

After dawn, he said goodbye to Chen Musa.

Overnight, Chen Musa seemed to be much haggard and a little old. Besides, he was quite uneasy, and he had already thought in his heart that if the teacher spoke, he would be here to accompany the teacher for a while. Anyway, there is nothing special at home these days.

As for going to Jiangxi to collect medicine, he had to wait for his father to make up his mind and make arrangements before he could leave.

"You go back first, come back if you have nothing to do, don't forget the things that your senior brother wants about Go Zhenlong, hurry up and send them to me, I'll find someone to send them to Zhongshan Wangfu." Chen Musa was very calm, explained a few words, and let him go home.

Back home, everything was fine. It's just that his father is affectionate and a little haggard, and he can conclude that he hasn't slept all night, and it is estimated that the false alarm during the day yesterday made him uneasy.

Besides, after telling everything in the Chen Mansion, Guo Zhong was completely relieved this time, he was worried about his son all night. After all, this was the first time he had stayed overnight and never returned, and he knew that there would be nothing wrong with Chen Musa, but he still couldn't sleep.

"It's an opportunity, and it should be your goal. Hearing that Chen Musa was going to compete with the people of the Yangming School for the patriarch's admission to the Holy Temple, Guo Zhong spoke.

"What can I do? Even if I can pass the Jinshi and the top prize, this thing is beyond my ability. And shook his head.

"It's man-made. Guo Zhong said lightly.

Besides, he was a little puzzled and asked, "You want me to do this?"

"Of course I hope so, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. But it's still the same sentence, things are man-made, as long as you want to do it, you can always find a way. And it's important to you too. ”

There was a glimmer of hope in Zhongzhong's heart, and he knew that it would be too difficult for him to let his son do this, but if he could do it, many things could be solved, and the disaster that the family had escaped for hundreds of years could be solved once and for all.

Besides, I had to smile and agree, but I didn't think about it in my heart. Whoever has the ability to think?

It's not that he doesn't have great ambitions, but what can he do that even Chen Musa can't do? In his mind, Chen Musa is the spire of the pyramid of learning, and he is just lingering under the tower.

Besides, I stayed at home for two days, had no intention of studying, and followed my father to the clinic every day. Guo Zhong thought that he wanted to make up for the medical path that had fallen in these days, so he didn't care. Father and son are the same as before, one teaching and the other learning.

But Zhong felt that there were fewer and fewer things he could teach his son. Moreover, it can be said that it has become independent in terms of technique, and what is bad is the Tao, and this Tao requires fire and experience, which cannot be taught, and must go through a lot of practice and comprehend it before it can be turned into oneself.

"It seems that when you are eighteen years old, you will be able to visit the doctor on my behalf, except for some incurable diseases, nothing can stump you. At lunchtime, Guo Zhong praised his son with a smile at the dinner table.

"Before I was twenty-five years old, I didn't dare to prescribe prescriptions, preferring to write and paint and sell them for money. But he had no faith in his heart.

In his mind, if you want to live, you still have to rely on calligraphy and painting, and he still has some confidence in this regard, although it is not as good as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu, at least he can sell it, and it can be enough for his own expenses.

The practice of medicine is not only a means of life, but also a kind of belief, a spirit of helping the world. There should be great goodness in the heart before you can practice medicine. It is true that a famous doctor can save many people, but that is only a technique, and it can also be used to kill people. If you have a good heart, you will enter the path.

Zhong didn't speak, just looked up at a white cloud outside the window and was a little stunned.

Besides, he smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the people in Zhongshan Wangfu had a false alarm that day, and his father has not fully recovered until now. He could understand that, after all, there were several scenes of life and death in his childhood alone, especially the fire that he still can't remember, which can still cause him severe nervous headaches.

Thinking about it this way, my father should have experienced a lot of hardships and dangers in his early years.

He thought he understood his father's thoughts, but he didn't expect him to be simple and naïve.

Later, when he faced the cruel truth and recalled the beginning, he couldn't help but sigh, but it was too late.

On the morning of the third day, several officials from Suzhou Prefecture came to the door and said that the prefect would please come over.

Besides, I wondered in my heart: Is Master Lian very idle these days? Two days ago, I visited Chen's Mansion late at night, but he came and went like a dragon, and his behavior was secretive, and I don't know what it was to call myself today?
