Chapter 569: Is It Worth It?
Father Wu was furious when he heard this, got up, raised his hand, and slapped it away, "You scolded your father, the ancestors of the Wu family for being stupid and loyal?" ”
There was a crisp sound of "pop", Wu Xiaomei exclaimed, and Song An looked around in fright, not knowing whether he wanted to help or slip away.
Wu Zheng slowly knelt down to Daddy Wu and kowtowed.
"Daddy forgives his son for the sin of lying and disrespect, but his son really thinks so. Eleven generations, for this promise, for this one, what to work for, has been forgotten by the world, and is not a bullshit jade seal...... Daddy is also asking himself, is it worth it? ”
Father Wu's body trembled violently, "Rebellion, being a father is just a momentary emotion, and there is no intention of disobeying the ancestors...... A daughter and a promise have become foolish in your mouth? ”
"Many times, the four words of a thousand gold and a promise are themselves deceiving themselves, for the sake of a thousand gold and a promise, eleven generations, for a royal blood that has been forgotten, has been hunted down by the imperial court so far, dare to ask Daddy, in terms of the imperial court, Wu Jiazhong? As far as the country is concerned, is Wu Jiazhong...... In order to protect a country, sacrificing eleven generations, the son thinks it is worth it! In order to protect one person, sacrificing eleven generations of people, what is the benefit of the country and the people? It's nothing more than a tea shop in a restaurant, after a meal after drinking, and a sigh...... The son just wanted to ask his father, is it worth it? ”
Wu Xiaomei hid her face and wept.
Father Wu sat down in a daze, and he shouted: "The Wu family does not have a backlash like you...... You roll. ”
"My son can't get out." Wu Zheng raised his head and said, "My son is begging his father, helping his son teach and educate people, so that the students know what true loyalty is, and I hope there will never be such a phenomenon like the Wu family again...... Sad things. ”
Father Wu looked at his only son in a daze and asked, "You say, what is true loyalty?" ”
Wu Zheng said firmly: "The talent of a scholar is to build a country, and he is a countryman." The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. Neither the countryman nor the puppet said that they should be loyal to the same surname. Therefore, true loyalty is only the four words of the country and the people. ”
"The emperor is the king of a country, representing the country and the imperial court, according to your meaning, the people of the country do not have to be loyal to the emperor?"
Wu Zhengdao: "When the emperor represents the interests of the country and the people, loyalty to the emperor means loyalty to the country and the people. When the emperor is unable to represent the interests of the country and the people, loyalty to the emperor is to turn his back on the country and the people. ”
Father Wu shook his head, his mind was a little confused, and asked: "But the emperor has the world's army in his hands and controls the power of life and death, even if the emperor is no longer able to represent the interests of the country and the people you mentioned, how can he restrain it, do you want to rebel?" Once you rebel and your lives are ruined, isn't it contrary to what you said about serving the country and the people? This doesn't make sense. ”
"It's a rebellion!" Wu Zheng said firmly, "Why don't the emperor, who can't represent the interests of the country and the people, rebel?" ”
Father Wu pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "Demon ...... Demons! ”
Wu Zheng raised his head and said: "The country is ruined, if you don't change, how can you confront the Tartars?" Do you still have to use the righteousness of the sages to face the sharp butcher's knife of the Tartar? The son just wants the students to understand who they will learn for, who they will serve, who they will die for, and who they will fight for. When the people's wisdom is opened, millions of people in Jianzhou, what is the way? ”
Father Wu is a learned person, he can actually hear the contradictions in Wu Zheng's words, and he can also understand the meaning of Wu Zheng's words.
The truth is also about flexibility.
There is nothing wrong with speaking at a time.
Otherwise, it is a matter of admitting death!
But Daddy Wu faintly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it all of a sudden.
He hesitated and said: "Those who are loyal to one person are loyal, and those who are loyal to one country are also loyal, this is not contradictory, you are extreme!" ”
Wu Zhengdao: "My son admits that most of the time, the two are not contradictory. But Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, the son and uncle in Jiading City bloody battle, uncle sacrificed his life for the country, when the son returned to Shaoxing Mansion, the market is still singing and dancing. The world is numb, and it cannot wake up without the flames, fire, thunder, and waves. In the turbulent times of the capital, we have to use heavy codes, and only in this way can we be deafening and fed. ”
Wu Zhengbai said: "I implore my father to help my son." ”
Father Wu sighed: "Can it be changed to, those who are loyal to one person are loyal, and those who are loyal to a country are also loyal?" In this way, it will not provoke a violent backlash from Shilin. ”
"Nope." Wu Zheng said, "If it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, my son will not object. The actions of my Wu family ancestors should be respected by the world, and my son has no intention of slandering his ancestors. But now, let the people understand that they are no longer fighting for the court that does not treat them as human beings, but for their own interests. ”
Father Wu finally understood what was wrong, and he asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that if you teach the students according to your wishes, one day, you yourself will become the target of the students' opposition." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he also realized the contradiction of his thoughts, but Wu Zheng still said firmly: "My son recognizes himself to represent the interests of the greatest number of people...... If one day, the son stands on the opposite side of the majority, and the son is willing to be opposed by the world. ”
"Daddy just said that as long as I can calmly face the ancestors of Quanxia and consciously have a clear conscience, I can do anything. The son wants to say to his father, I, at this time, have a clear conscience! ”
Daddy Wu was a little moved.
He suddenly picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "Okay." Just give it a try for your father's sake with a clear conscience. ”
Wu Zheng took out a stack of papers from his chest, offered it with both hands, and said, "Thank you Daddy for making it complete." My son has been busy fighting in the past few years, and he has not done any learning, so I am afraid that it will be wasted...... A few days ago, I was thinking about preparing for the establishment of a military academy in Songjiang Prefecture, so I wrote an article to encourage the military academy students. If Dad feels that it is still unsatisfactory, he may wish to use this as a key link to teach future students. In this way, the ideas of the students of the two schools can also be inherited. ”
Daddy Wu stretched out his hand to take it and read it softly, "Young China said. ”
Wu Zheng's face flushed for no reason, and he was really embarrassed.
But Daddy Wu's expression over there gradually became solemn, he didn't even make a sound anymore, and his lips read silently rapidly, faster and faster.
Wu Xiaomei and Song An looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, not knowing what Wu Zheng gave the master.
"Good! Good article, good article about young China...... This article really responds to your four words...... Come, for this article should be a big white. ”
Wu Zheng was overjoyed and said, "Dad...... Did you say yes? ”
"Promised." Father Wu raised his glass and drank it all, and he said excitedly, "This article is hearty, and it is exciting to read, which is enough to accompany wine and good wine." ”
Wu Zheng struck while the iron was hot, got up, and said, "If the school can be successful, Dad's merits will no longer be burdened by the change of dynasties, and he should be respected by the world as a grandmaster, and he will be famous in history." ”
