Yang Zheng said: "This is also easy to do, those foreigners are still very infatuated with the Ming Dynasty, in their eyes, our Ming Dynasty is a country guided by Confucius's theory, and the whole country is as loving and harmonious as a big family." The rulers were "full of kindness," and the common people were honest and polite. An old man said: The Chinese people "obey the elders and respect the elderly." …… Chinese (even) peasants and servants are very polite to each other when they talk daily or meet every other day, and their courtesy is better than all the nobles in Europe, so they must be respectful to my Ming Emperor, as long as the Pavilion Boss explains in detail that they believe in God, not the monarch, and the etiquette of three kneels and nine bows is not good, my Ming Emperor is benevolent and righteous, and I don't think I will care about this set of vain things, right? ”

Yang Pu thought for a while and said, "In order to keep those missionaries, it seems that this is the only way to do it?" ”

The details of how the two will keep the missionaries are detailed, and finally Yang Zheng picked up the teacup and said: "For the sake of our science and technology, we replaced the wine with tea and drank this cup!" ”

Yang Pu raised the teacup, his eyes flashing: "Dry!" ”

It was almost dark after leaving the Hanlin Academy, Yang Pu agreed to take over the Hanlin Academy, and immediately became concerned about logic, and decided to stay in the Hanlin Academy tonight to study the "Theory of Tools", and Yang Zheng was about to go to Annan, so it was not good to stay longer, and he explained to Zeng Heling and others again, and then rushed home.

Out of the imperial city, bypassing the street on the left, I saw the door of the house, there was a certain Lanni sedan chair parked in front of the door, Yang Zheng recognized this as Yang Shiqi's sedan chair at a glance, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Strangely, the guard who heard the movement muttered a few words to the sedan chair, the sedan chair moved first, and followed a familiar figure down, who is not Yang Shiqi? “

"Brother Yang, if you don't come home so late, isn't your sister-in-law worried?" Yang Zheng walked over and hugged his fists.

Yang Shiqi rolled his eyes angrily and said: "My person, others don't know, but your sister-in-law is very clear, you don't worry about it, but you ......?" ”

Yang Zheng was walking into the house and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Yang Shiqi was not polite, and strode in, the courtyard layout of the Yang family's mansion was not elegant, but it was simple, and there were many melons, fruits and vegetables planted around the patio, which was idyllic.

Shen Yanqiu and the others, who could hear the movement, walked out early to greet the guests, and after seeing the ceremony, they gave the two of them tea soup on the stone table at the patio, and saw that it was not early, and sent out some snacks from the room, glanced at Yang Zheng at each other, and then left the room.

Yang Zheng and Yang Shiqi fell into their seats, went to the morning court early in the morning, and sat in the Hanlin Courtyard for most of the morning, except for the noon in the Hanlin Courtyard after eating four dishes and one soup work banquet, they never ate again, they were very hungry at this time, and reached out and grabbed a piece of "braised oxtail" and gnawed it, this braised oxtail was originally a traditional famous dish in Shaanxi, and it was the main meat of the Guanzhong people as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he felt empty on a patrol and walked into a restaurant. Coincidentally, the beef in the store had been sold out on this day, and there was only one oxtail, which the owner stewed in the pot and prepared to eat by himself, so he had to bring it out and offer it to Qin Shi Huang in fear.

Who knew that Qin Shi Huang had never eaten such a delicious oxtail, not only did he not blame the shopkeeper, but gave him a heavy reward. This dish has been continuously improved through generations, and has been handed down in the area of Huguo Temple, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty. In the old days, there was a temple market on the eighth day of the lunar calendar every month, bringing together the famous and unique food stalls in the capital. According to the memories of the older generation, the most attractive thing for the Huguo Temple will be the floating stall that takes the snacks around the world. The stall owners set up a cloth shed, showed the number, put on the case, benches, some simply put the burden on their shoulders or pushed the wheelbarrow to find a place, stop in the temple, sit on the pot while setting up the stove, and put the seasoning jar and chopsticks next to the pot, which opened the "formation" and prepared to sell: "Bean flour cake comes, ask for sugar money!" "The donkey rolling on the sugar" ...... Snacks and tea at the temple fair are the most popular foods. Rice cakes, enemas, boiled sheep cream sausages, grilled cakes, cold noodles, belly bursts, tea soup and other snacks are all available in the food stalls, and Yang Zheng has this bite on weekdays, so the three women in the family will always prepare a copy for him to enjoy his mouth.

Yang Shiqi saw that he was eating with relish, and he was not polite, took a sip of tea soup, picked up a big oxtail, and tore a mouthful and said vaguely: "You are now a feudal official, and you don't need me to nag you, but you are too young, and the old man is really a little worried?" ”

Yang Zheng glanced at him and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "The power in your hands!" The words "feudal officials" are actually quite subtle. According to the word "feudal territory", the person it refers to is "king", not "official", but it is followed by the word "official", which is also "hinting" of its nature - it is only an "official" with "great power", not a "prince king". From the combination of this word, we can also see the history of the evolution of China's state management system -- the central government needs to give full play to the subjective initiative of the local government and the full "efficiency of governance", and also needs to have enough strength and "legal nature" to restrain the expansion of local power, then it is also a combination of "feudal territory" and "big officials", after all, officials are not of royal blood, and if they vainly attempt to usurp the throne or become independent, they will not be popular with the people from the legal and ethical point of view. Therefore, the Li Dynasty has been wary of the feudal officials in the past dynasties, Yang Zheng is a feudal official when he is young, even if the emperor must trust, but other officials may not think of it, there are envy, there are jealous, and more are looking for an opportunity to step on it, it can be said that the four words of the feudal official are a double-edged sword, he has the status, power, and glory that everyone envies, but on the other hand, he is also the most suspicious and dissatisfied power, Yang Shiqi is afraid that Yang Zheng is young and carried away with this feudal official. Thus not knowing the convergence.

"Power? Brother Yang said it's funny, I'm not a feudal official, have you ever seen a feudal official who can only command such a place, have you ever seen a feudal official who can only lead 8,000 troops, no, so what kind of feudal official am I? ”

Yang Shiqi didn't seem to hear this complaint, and said: "With Brother Yang's ability, the old man believes that you, the Annan Strategy, will be the first and most powerful Strategy in my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Yang can't help but look up to the little brother too much, how can the little brother He De have this ability?" “

Yang Shiqi said: "Do you have this ability, you know in your heart, know yourself and the enemy, win all battles, you didn't shirk this strategy, it is enough to show that you have the ability to recover Annan, moreover, that one country, two systems, if you are not sure in your heart, dare to say casually, once Annan is assessed, who else in my Ming Dynasty is powerful enough to compare with you?" “

Yang Zheng didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "What if it can't be assessed?" ”

Yang Shiqi snorted and said: "Then you wait to collect the corpse, those officials will not let you go, don't you see that Wang Tong wants to be windy and rainy in Annan, if he can return to the court this time, I am afraid that he will also have to enter the prison of Jinyiwei?" ”

Yang Zheng does not deny this, a good Annan is lost like this, and the Yanguan who cherishes his face can let it go so lightly, this matter can't let the emperor come up to carry the black pot, so Wang Tong is undoubtedly the best candidate, and it is not bad to bring Liu Sheng by the way.

The two were silent for a while, and said: "The old man came today, and he has already said that he is not afraid that you will not be able to evaluate Annan, on the contrary, the old man believes that you will definitely be able to evaluate Annan, but for the power in your hands, the old man has a few words to sue you?" ”

Yang Zheng knew that Yang Shiqi cared about him, and said, "Brother Yang, don't be polite, just say it?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Power this thing, before you try it, it is not enough to attract you, but one day you really have it, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, wake up to the power of the world, no longer illusory, you will be obsessed with it, even immersed in it and unable to extricate yourself, at that time, you are only afraid of ......?" ”

Yang Zheng could see that Yang Shiqi was afraid that he would go astray and ruin himself at a young age in front of power, his throat was a little tight, and he nodded and said, "What Brother Yang said?" If you have a lot of power, can't anyone be able to control it freely? I wonder what the secret of the big brother is? ”

Yang Shiqi saw that he listened to it, and he was very happy, and said arrogantly: "The old man has been an official in the court for 30 years, and he can see the power most clearly, if you want not to get lost in power, without him, don't forget your original intention, you have to always!" “

"Everyone has a pure and kind heart, but this world is like a melting pot, gradually the heart is blinded, especially in the turbid world, insisting on a pure heart is the most difficult, people must always adhere to the pure and kind heart, in order to achieve positive results, worthy of the world, worthy of the world, the heart is calm. As an official, you must be like this, so as not to get lost in the world of power! ”

Yang Zheng thought about it for a while, and then nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Yang's teachings, little brother keep them in mind!" After a pause, he said: "The guest has a master, and he sees that his stove is straight and there is a salary next to him, and the guest is the host: "It is more abrupt, and he is far away from his salary, and there is no fire." The master was silent. Russia went on fire, and the neighbors rescued it, and fortunately survived. So he killed the ox and put it in wine, thanked his neighbors, and the one who burned was in the ascending, and the rest sat down with merit, and did not record the words and twists. The master said: "Listen to the words of the guest, do not waste cattle wine, and end up in the fire." Today, I will talk about merit and invite guests, Qu Tumig's salary is gracious, and I am anxious to be a guest? "The master is sorry to invite it!"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

PS: (Just for you to see, not counting the words) A guest came to visit the host's house and saw that the chimney of the master's stove was straight and there was firewood piled next to it, so the guest said to the host: 'Your chimney should be curved and move the firewood far away, otherwise there will be a fire!' The master was silent and ignored it. Soon, the owner's house caught fire, and the neighbors rescued together, but fortunately the fire was extinguished.

So the master killed the ox and set up the wine, thanked the neighbors, and those who had been burned in the fire were invited to their seats, and the rest were seated in order of their efforts, but the man who built the chimney was not invited. Someone said to the host, 'If I had listened to the guest's advice, I would not have had to kill the ox and serve the wine, and there would have been no fire.' Nowadays, the person who built the chimney and removed the firewood has no merit, but the person who was burned to the ground during the firefighting is the guest? Then the master came to his senses and invited the guest to him. "The grace of the Qu Tu migration salary, the burnt is the guest": The person who built the chimney and removed the firewood has no merit, and the person who was burned out during the fire fighting became the guest.
