"The disciple categorically did not have such a rebellious idea, and when the disciple brought food to Haigong, he guessed that there might be such a consequence, and everything was the disciple's own fault!" Wang Honghai hurriedly explained and said sincerely.

Although he knew that this encounter had a lot to do with him being Lin Haoran's proud protégé, it was precisely because of this identity that he was able to directly participate in the editing of "Talking about the Past and the Present" when he first entered the Hanlin Academy, but it was impossible to just enjoy convenience and not take responsibility.

The most important thing is that Lin Haoran has always been the person he respects the most, and he did make mental preparations when he delivered the meal, so he didn't have the slightest resentment against Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran saw Wang Honghai's reaction in his eyes, and said bitterly: "There are many people in the outside world who are discussing: being a teacher like Xu Jie, he will also turn a deaf ear to the children who are in prison!" ”

"This matter must be someone deliberately pouring dirty water on the teacher, the disciple will never listen to the provocation, and he knows that the teacher is not a person like Xu Jie!" Wang Honghai seemed to be serious.

Lin Haoran shook his head helplessly, put down the teacup gently, and said, "When you delivered the meal, the teacher actually knew that Xu Jie's side would definitely make a fuss about it, but the teacher didn't come forward to stop it at that time, do you know why?" ”

"The disciple doesn't know!" Wang Honghai knew that this three-step teacher did have this kind of judgment ability, and knew in his heart that the teacher would not dare to insist if he came forward, but at this moment he asked suspiciously.

Lin Haoran looked up in the direction of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and said openly: "As you said, you did nothing wrong, and the teacher doesn't think you did anything wrong!" Since you have done nothing wrong, and you have the responsibility to teach your teacher, how can you stop your students from doing the right thing? ”

"The disciple has the words of the teacher, although he has no regrets when he dies, he is also glad that he can worship the teacher in this life!" Wang Honghai's tears welled up in his eyes, and he said with a choked voice.

Whether it was when he delivered food to Hai Rui in prison, or after he was demoted, all his relatives and friends said that he should not have done that, and they all advised him to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, only the teacher in front of him told him that he had done nothing wrong.

At this moment, the slander and incomprehension he received during this time, as well as the gap from Hanlin to the local Xiaozhi County, have become less important.

Because the teacher has already affirmed his approach, does he think he did the right thing? So the teacher didn't come forward to stop him. Can there be such a teacher in this life? What could he be more fortunate than this?

It was also from this moment that his heart was deeply impressed by the teacher in front of him? This is a teacher who really taught him.

Lin Haoran is a smart person? also saw the conflict between Wang Honghai's scholarly sentiment and the world, so he said in a deep and profound manner: "According to it? You have done nothing wrong, and the teacher should help you! Just making a move for the teacher will make Hai Rui suffer? But...... Isn't this the reason why the teacher is reluctant to make a move? The real reason is that the teacher wants to take the opportunity to temper you well! ”

"Tempered on me? Please make it clear to the teacher! Wang Honghai looked humble and authentic.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and said eloquently like a teacher: "Although you were born in poor Qiongzhou, you were born in the family of the official eunuch after all, and you have not really felt the suffering of the people. Although reading history makes one wise? It also implies the road to governing the country? But the way of the world will eventually change, all dynasties are trying to restore the rule of the Zhou system, even the sages said: Zhou in view of the three generations, depressed and depressed, I follow the Zhou. Just since Han? None of them succeeded in restoring the weekly system, so why? As a teacher, I hope you don't limit yourself to history books anymore? Rather, it is necessary to go to the local area to experience the suffering of the people and understand the needs and thoughts of the people. Find a different way to govern the country! ”

The afternoon sun is slanting, and a ray of sunlight falls on the smooth stone table? made Lin Haoran's whole person a little different.

"Teacher? You ......" Wang Honghai looked at the teacher who said this in a daze, which made his heart surge? It seems to be to re-examine the most respected teacher.

Lin Haoran gently put down the teacup and said bitterly: "This statement is too deviant, right?" ”

This is indeed contrary to this era, all dynasties have pursued "Fu Zhou" and restored that ideal social model, so all scholars in the world want to find a way to govern the country from the experience of the ancients.

On the contrary, Lin Haoran proposed that the way to govern the country is not in the ancient books and history, but in the people ruled by this dynasty, which is undoubtedly a deviant statement.

Although the disciple did have this idea, the disciple always knew that the teacher was a person with great wisdom, otherwise Leizhou and Guangzhou would not have prospered because of the teacher, and this court would not have improved because of the teacher. Listening to the teacher's words today, the disciple now has a sense of enlightenment, and he is also happy to be fortunate to be able to come out of the history books, and he is even more willing to follow the teacher's example and start as a magistrate! Wang Honghai's eyes flashed and he responded excitedly.

In the past four years, especially when I have been involved in the editing of "On the Past and the Present", I have always felt a sense of confusion. On the one hand, there is the rule of the saints depicted by the ancients, and on the other hand, there are all kinds of ills, which makes him feel that there is no cure for the world.

It's just that now, Lin Haoran seems to have pointed him to another way, a deviant but more feasible path.

Lin Haoran nodded with satisfaction, and said lightly: "The teacher originally felt that you lacked experience, so when the other side wanted to drive you out of the capital, the teacher thought about it again and again, but still didn't choose to make a move." As for why you were sent to Songjiang Mansion to serve as the magistrate of Shanghai, this matter is the result of my greeting to Gao Gong! ”

"Teacher, you want your disciples to ...... like this" Wang Honghai heard that this was Lin Haoran's arrangement, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his heart.

Lin Haoran saw through Wang Honghai's thoughts at a glance, but said with a straight face: "Don't guess, the reason why the teacher arranged for you to serve as the magistrate of Shanghai is to let you be a parent official who cares about the suffering!" If you think that being a teacher is asking you to deal with Xu Ge Lao there, don't say that you can't do it at all, you will also think narrowly about the teacher! ”

Although he and Xu Jie are incompatible, they will not be so prioritized. As a descendant, he naturally knows Shanghai's geographical advantages and economic value, and can make Shanghai an important port for trade in the East China Sea.

After all, this era has changed, and whoever can fight for dominance on the sea will be able to dominate this era. If Shanghai, Ningbo, Yuegang, Guangzhou and Leizhou are strung together, China will definitely be able to become the world's first maritime power.

"The disciple thinks about it, please forgive me!" Wang Honghai was naturally willing to do anything for his teacher, but after knowing that this was a misunderstanding, he hurriedly apologized.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, but warned solemnly: "If you are the magistrate of Shanghai this time, I will not be as anxious to recall you back as Xu Jie, and I will let you stay in Shanghai for three years, and I will also inspect you for three years!" If you can't do anything in the past three years, or even do things that hurt the people, then you and I won't see each other again, and the teacher can only think of his disciples...... There is a good protégé who delivers food to Hai Jui every day! ”

"If the disciple does such an evil thing and does something that insults the teacher's reputation, the disciple will kill himself by the Yangtze River!" Wang Honghai also made an oath.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, and then said in a soothing tone: "After you become the magistrate of Shanghai, I will let the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce vigorously support you in the development of Shanghai County, I hope you will not let the teacher down!" ”

"The disciple will definitely run Shanghai County well and take the teacher as an example!" Wang Honghai knew that the teacher was actually silently supporting him, and he was also guaranteeing.

Lin Haoran nodded with satisfaction, he really hoped that there would be some people with practical spirit among his disciples, rather than those ministers who could only talk on paper.

It's not that the ministers are bad, but they are too idealistic in many things. Either they put too much hope in the rule of officials, or they are greedy people themselves, and in the end they either can't do things or don't do things at all.

When Wang Honghai was leaving, he kowtowed to Lin Haoran three times. In his heart, Lin Haoran is not only a teacher, but also a father, and a guiding light in his life.

Lin Haoran looked at Wang Honghai who kowtowed and left, but sighed secretly.

He knew very well that Xu Jie's deal with Wang Honghai was just the beginning, and he was afraid that there would be more operations in the future, and he would even point the finger directly at him, the head of the household.

The sky in April is changing, just a sunny day, and in the blink of an eye, the sky over Beijing is already cloudy.
