Chapter 120

After learning from Du Luo's mouth about the story of Liu Cheng's conversation with him, Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Du Luo: "Mr. Du, you are looking for me to be happy, who Princess Wen Fan chose to be a son-in-law is still missing, what you said just now seems to be me." ”

Duro picked up the other folding fan around his waist, unfolded it and shook it, his expression was calm and light: "I'm just reminding me." ”

Mu Qing touched his chin and lowered his head slightly to think about what Liu Cheng said.

"It seems that he just deliberately stood there and blocked you, no, it should be said that he blocked the people who came out of Liu's mansion, but he was bumped into by you." Mu Qing put his hand back on the table, and his fingertips lightly clicked on the desktop again, which was a fixed action when he was thinking, "If you want to say that he has installed someone in Liu's mansion, I don't believe this, but this Liucheng is probably as Mr. Du said, it was sent by Lord Song Qianyi and Song to explore the wind, and he also came to surrender." ”

Du Luo looked at Mu Qing and looked a little straighter: "I want to hear about it." ”

Mu Qing stretched out his hand and took a few empty teacups on the table, and placed them in front of him: "This is like King Rui, this is like King Zhuang, and behind them are all people who support them." As he spoke, Mu Qing put a cup in the middle of the right, "And this is the neutral one that resolutely does not sway from side to side." ”

Du Luo nodded, his eyes looking at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing gently traced the rim of the cup he called King Zhuang with the tips of his fingers, as if he didn't know anything about his actions, and his face was indifferent: "Since the news of the illness came out from the saint, the people on both sides have been more or less unable to sit still. The contradictions that were hidden underground in the past have also been put forward, "just like the queen, she blatantly asked people to go outside the examination room to block herself, obviously she has lost the patience to endure," then, in the end, support and people will also become the first thing that needs to be considered by various officials. ”

Du Luo thought for a while and said: "There are actually a lot of neutral officials, led by Zuo Xiang Wei Jing, but I feel that they are just waiting and watching, and they are not ready to gamble lightly." ”

"It's not too late to gamble, but it's late, it's really late." Mu Qing unhurriedly put down the cup in the middle, "The reason why those neutral officials in the previous dynasty were able to protect themselves wisely relied on the generosity and benevolence of today's saints and the kindness of literati, which gave them the opportunity to be grass on the wall." But now these two are not lenient masters, and I am afraid that they will push themselves to the edge of the cliff by showing their attitude later. When the time comes, no matter who is in power, they can only jump down and lose their reputation. ”

"What does this have to do with Song Qianyi?" Douro frowned in confusion.

Mu Qing smiled lightly, suddenly reached out and grabbed a cup behind Li Chengming, lifted it, and directly put it on Li Qianyu's side. Du Luo blinked, but heard Mu Qing say: "Song Qianyi is using his own way to surrender to King Zhuang's Mansion, what he said to you shows his connections in the palace, and it is obscure enough, and it also shows kindness." I don't believe him if he was just a whim, I'm afraid I've been planning for a long time. Saying that, Mu Qing laughed to himself, "He is a good helper, he has the identity of the Song family, and he has the imperial history platform that can kill people with a pen in his hand." Yushitai has always been impartial, and now that he is on our side, we have a lot of swearing, Mr. Du, I really can't think of anything more enjoyable than this help. ”

Douro was a little speechless for a moment. When he met Mu Qing, this person was just a child, he looked as tall as his heart, he looked thin and small, and what he was best at was holding his face and flashing his eyes to deceive people with a pure expression. But now looking at the handsome and heroic young man in front of him, Douro has to admit that many people are geniuses, and this is a treasure given by God.

It's not just Mu Qing's poems and articles, but more importantly, his sensitivity to certain things.

Du Luo was sure that Mu Qing must not have been in contact with as much as he had in the affairs of the DPRK and China, but he could make such an inference with what he knew, if it was not for eyeliner, or if he had a sensitive sense of smell, so that he could piece together a complete line through the slightest trace.

Mu Qing didn't notice the rare look of admiration on Du Luo's face, but continued to take care of himself: "Song Qianyi's identity Brother Li once mentioned to me that he is a member of the Song family, but not just a Song family. His mother is a concubine, and Song Qianyi herself is the half-brother of the current queen, but because the concubine has always been taken seriously, even if she is very good at writing, she did not enter the Hanlin Academy, but entered the Yushitai. ”

Du Luo clapped his hands with a folding fan: "What does Mu Gongzi mean to say, then Song Qianyi has a grudge against the Song family?" ”

"I don't know if it's a grievance, no one can say for sure except himself, but it's a fact that he didn't deliberately make things difficult for the Song family after he was promoted to the middle of the imperial history. But apart from that, there is one thing that I know very well. Remembering that at the poetry meeting in Zhuangwangfu, when Song Qianyi's eyes were at their brightest, Mu Qing curled the corners of his mouth very confidently, "He wants to be an official, not for money, not for fame, not for power, just a simple mind to climb up." ”

When a person has the mind to go up, he will only do a few things.

In order to win a beautiful celebrity in history, this is the name of the picture. In order to accumulate money and live a rich life, this is wealth. In order to hold the power to guide the country, this is the right to plan.

But none of these three are drawing, and Du Luo couldn't think of Song Qianyi's thoughts for a while: "If that's the case, what is this Song Daren's picture?" ”

Mu Qing pursed his lips and was silent for a moment.

In fact, he also thought about what Song Qianyi wanted. It is true that Mu Qing wants to change the world with his own hands, make the Great Zhou Dynasty better and better, and let the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty stand on top of the world. But to be honest, he also has selfish intentions.

He wants to live well, and he also wants the people around him to live well. Fame, power, money, love, he doesn't like throwing any of them.

People are nothing more than greed.

Some covet peace and joy, some covet pleasure, and some covet power.

But it is precisely because of this little greed and selfishness that people call it human. They have the pursuit, have a yearning for beauty, selfishness is the driving force to move forward, step by step pursuit, maybe some people are right and some people are wrong, but it is these small greed that have achieved a society of all shapes.

But when these possibilities were stifled, Mu Qing had only one thought.

With a soft sigh, with emotion, admiration, and some unknown feelings, Mu Qing said softly: "I'm afraid, we met a real scholar." ”

Every scholar has had pursuits and ideals, but not everyone can do it.

But Mu Qing believed that that person could, because Song Qianyi's eyes were sharp and scared him, and that kind of reasoning ability was so strong that even the best officials sighed to themselves. If we don't have a mirror-like heart, how can we illuminate all the obscurities of the world?

He closed his eyes, but immediately Mu Qing opened them.

He sat up straight, although he still felt all kinds of Song Qianyi in his heart, but he immediately began to plan what he could do in his heart.

Yes, the most different thing between Mu Qing and others is that he will admire those who have integrity, but this does not mean that Mu Qing will really treat them as a gentleman's friend. Mu Qing will plan, plan, and let himself win people's hearts in the shortest time and in the simplest way.

The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, elegant and pure enough, but Mu Qing does not like friendship as light as water.

Since the relationship, it is better to be profound.

Getting up and walking to the table, Mu Qing thought about it, picked up the brush and filled it with ink, and waved it on the large white paper that was unfolded in front of him.

His handwriting is notoriously beautiful, and Mu Qing, who never paid for it after he finished writing, made an unprecedented payment, and also wrote it as a gift to Song Qianyi in a dignified manner, not only that, but also pressed it with a small private seal dipped in mud.

Mu Qing. The simple two words are the thin gold body that Mu Qing likes, and there is no doubt that this private chapter was customized by Mu Qing after writing it.

Looking at the words on the paper with great satisfaction, Mu Qingyou quickly wrote a letter, stuffed it into an envelope, sealed it with red wax, rolled it up with the paper with large characters and handed it to Du Luo, and said, "Mr. Du, please take a trip this time." After seeing Du Luo take the words, Mu Qing said, "I don't have an official body now and I am still waiting for the exam, if I go to the official's house, I am afraid it will be inappropriate, and I hope that Mr. Du will help me send these two things." ”

Du Luo glanced at Mu Qing: "Can you avoid people?" ”

Mu Qing smiled slightly: "No, I'm afraid Brother Li will like what I did very much, and it's time to add to the queen's blockage." ”

=============================================================================

"My lord, a Mu Gongzi asked someone to send you something."

Song Qianyi, who was writing an excerpt, kept her expression unchanged, and said lightly: "Take it in." ”

After the little servant put down the things and retreated, Song Qianyi looked at a roll of rice paper and a letter on the table, looking indifferent.

He was not surprised that Mu Qing would ask someone to send him something, in fact, for Song Qianyi, he knew Mu Qing's personality far more thoroughly than Mu Qing knew him.

Song Qianyi opened the letter and opened the letter, and on it was a fair and just pavilion. Although Mu Qing's thin gold body has begun to be popular in the capital, it is obvious that the pavilion body can show solemnity more. Song Qianyi nodded, and then began to read the contents of the letter.

The content is not much, first thanked Song Qianyi for reminding him about Princess Wenfan, and then gratefully invited Song Qianyi to come over to talk about it, and finally, it seems to be an understatement, King Zhuang has always liked to play chess.

Song Qianyi only said that Mu Qing wanted to befriend herself, but the bargaining chip he gave was too light, and Song Qianyi couldn't look down on it.

Putting down the letter, Song Qianyi opened the words a little absentmindedly.

However, immediately, Song Qianyi stood up, with a shocked horror on her face, as well as this happy look, and amazement. This kind of emotion fused together, and directly led to Lord Song's facial expressions being uncomfortable, and every muscle didn't know where to go, but in the end, they still pieced together a smile, which was natural and difficult.

"It's rare to have a confidant in life, it's rare to have a confidant in life! Come! Wine comes! When the float is white! ”

Song Qianyi seemed to look at the paper in front of her a little frantically, this man who had always been cold and self-contained laughed wildly for the first time, and was so startled that the little guy waiting at the door hurriedly ran in to see what happened to their master. Song Qianyi waved them to get the wine, and then looked at the paper with fascination.

Some people, their ideal is to dedicate their lives to their own ambitions, and all they seek is to prosper and be peaceful, to benefit the interests of the people, and to benefit the well-being of hundreds of millions of people.

Some people call it Qingtian, and some call it a saint.

But in the end, they only have three words in their bones.

Literati.

Song Qianyi took the wine that was sent and poured it into her mouth, without the madness just now, but with more unsettling quiet. I only heard Song Qianyi gently muttering, "I made too many mistakes, and I finally took the right step", and the little girl couldn't understand it, so she turned her eyes away.

saw that on the paper that Song Qianyi was looking at, twenty-two words were written in thin gold font, and the words were like gold.

Set your heart for heaven and earth,

Establish a life for the living,

For the sake of the Holy Inheritance,

Peace for all generations.

The author has something to say: before the Qing Dynasty, those things in the bones of ancient literati doctors were absolutely fascinating

Their integrity and pursuit of ideals are supreme enough. That's admirable, convincing, and even admirable

Note: Quoted from Baidu

Zhang Hengqu, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, said:

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people,

For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth: Heaven and earth have no heart, but heaven and earth are endless, and all things are born, which is the mind of heaven and earth.

Establish a life for the people: life has two levels: rational life and qi life, and the lives of these two layers cannot be harmed, cannot be abandoned, and must be established in peace.

For the sake of the saints, the learning of the Confucian sages, from the two Han Dynasty and below, and the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang dynasties, for thousands of years, has not been able to continue the pre-Qin Confucian lineage. Neither the light of life nor the wisdom of philosophy can be revealed. Especially in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the cultural life of the Chinese people shrank and degenerated. Until the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the whole world could not find a decent teacher, and the so-called "learning and mourning" was not too much. It was not until the physicists came out that the metaphysical wisdom of pre-Qin Confucianism was resurrected, so that the study of the life of heaven (the righteousness of the heart) and the teaching of inner sanctity and virtue were re-manifested to the world. The leadership of thought has been taken back from the hands of Buddhism, and the position of Confucius has naturally been reasserted. This step of "learning for the sake of the saints" is unique in the history of human culture. It is a pity that since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, scholars have been despicable in their minds, but they have criticized science, which is a great regret in academic ignorance.

Open peace for all generations: Confucianism takes "the inner sage as the essence, and the outer king as the function". The great function is to open a peaceful and prosperous world. And not just for a while, but for thousands of years to open peace. The word "Taiping", like "Taihe", is the most profound and solemn concept in Confucian scholarship. However, although Confucianism has the grand aspiration of opening up peace for all generations, and can also talk about the benevolent and royal way of the world at the level of "Tao", it has only achieved "governing the Tao" in the system, but has not been able to open the "political way". Today's democratic political system is exactly the peaceful track at the political level, and with the addition of science, it can better meet the requirements of "opening things to do things" and "making use of welfare". The combination of democratic science and Confucian etiquette and music education and the concept of "peace and harmony" will indeed create a boundless beauty for the human world. l3l4
