Chapter 36: The Younger Eagles (4)
"Huh! Let me see, isn't that proud white swan my nasty snow girl? ”
Just when everyone was in harmony and talking happily, a very discordant voice came, and everyone looked at the source of the sound, only a tall figure strode over, who was it not Rukawa Feng?
After receiving Ganlin's summons, he immediately turned his horse's head and went straight to Shiziju, and saw that his henchmen and subordinates were wronged and aggrieved by this group of low-eyed guys, while they themselves were happily talking and laughing, chanting poems against each other?
The empire is now full of holes, the people are not able to make a living, and the daily needs of the people are a problem, and this group of self-proclaimed "scholars" are drinking and blowing nonsense here, talking about beautiful things and the like, whitewashing the peace, as if they can't see those poor people, talking nonsense! There is no concern for the country and the people at all, is such a scholar living and such a scholar really the future of the empire? He had deep doubts about it.
"Your Excellency, you're finally here."
Gan Lin was the first to go over to greet him, she knew that he was coming, everything was simple, in her heart, adults were omnipotent, so she sent someone to invite him over in advance.
"I'm here, with me here, you can rest assured, do things boldly in the future, you will find a chance to think more about Han Xue in the future, if it were him, I guess I would have gone up to lift the table a long time ago, and I would honestly stand in the corner and listen to the bullshit of these stinky fish and shrimp?"
Rukawa Kaede didn't care about the faces of the scholars at all, he spoke loudly, and he didn't care about the feelings of the two cousins, and he spoke rudely directly, which caused Gan Lin to smile and make them all angry.
"Who am I, it turned out to be a coward who didn't even dare to speak if his mother was snatched away!" Rukawa retorted violently.
"Shut up!"
This sentence was shouted by Liuchuan Yun, and he sternly taught this unruly sister a lesson, and scolded her to cry and scold, so he gained more respect from the scholars, and also gained some respect and admiration from Gan Lin and their brocade guards.
"Brother, I heard that you were injured a few days ago, as an elder brother, I should have visited you, but I am busy with affairs and have not passed, I am really sorry, but I see you guarding the border for the country for three years, the foolish brother admires it very much."
With a kind face, Liuchuan Yun walked over and took his hand, returned to the pavilion together, and poured him freshly brewed fine tea leaves.
"My beloved old brother, I haven't seen you for more than three years, not only have you become more handsome and chic, but I didn't expect that even your conversation style is quite mature, the weather is good today, and there are so many talented and beautiful people by your side, we brothers have to have a good chat." Rukawa Kaede immediately turned into a smiling face, and greeted him and the group of bloody guys who had just been scolded by him.
"Haha, that's that, it's a rare opportunity, brother, you're a busy person now, I heard that there have been a lot of things recently, the foolish brother has a little bit of ink, but I can't hate to share worries for the family and the empire, I'm not as good as you in this regard."
Although he said so, Liuchuan Yun didn't think so, of course, the scholars here didn't think so, they all knew that this was just his humble remarks, and scholars can also share worries for the country, and the ministers of the imperial court, almost all of them are scholars, they think so.
Liuchuan Feng snorted and said, "Yes, let's not talk about these today, family and country affairs are not child's play, it would be great if you could do it in three or two sentences here." ”
"Yes, I won't talk about state affairs today, just ordinary things."
"I heard, brother, what news do you have about the princess of the former dynasty?"
"Yes, the foolish brother has heard a little."
"Then I don't know if you can tell the foolish brother, you also know, I am now Jinyiwei, and I am in charge of investigating this matter, if I can solve this case, brother, you have contributed a lot, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the emperor's uncle!"
"It's just a gesture, don't alarm the emperor's uncle, this matter is quite complicated, I also heard a little news by chance, but it's not easy to say." Rukawa looked quite difficult.
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"It's better to talk about the others first, brother, you didn't come out to communicate with these scholars, and you just talked about work as soon as you came up, which is really not interesting at all," Mr. Liuchuan Yun said loudly and then in a low voice in his ear, "It is about the harem and Your Majesty, I sincerely advise you, you don't want to pursue this matter further." ”
Although it was expected, Rukawa Kaede still felt very uncomfortable after hearing it with his own ears, and he didn't let go of a lonely little girl? Although it involves his own family, he still feels that it is wrong, and the teacher has taught him since he was a child, right and wrong are all in your heart, how can you ignore it because it involves your relatives? He decided to keep the search going.
"Thank you brother for your kindness, but I'm like this, I don't want to give up if I don't understand, it's better for you to tell me all the information you know, I will keep it secret."
"Alas, since you want to go your own way, then let it be, I heard my father mention it after drinking too much, 'Gutuo Temple' seems to have a former royal elder who has retired for many years, and the princess came back to visit him, but somehow the news leaked, resulting in a secret murder, and the great monk who had been a monk for decades suddenly disappeared, this is all I know."
A ray of light flashed under Liuchuanyun's eyes, and he told him almost everything he knew, patted him on the shoulder, and returned to his normal sitting posture, indicating that the topic had been finished.
"'Gutuo Temple' is the hundred-year-old temple at the end of Chang'an?"
Rukawa Kaede ignored him, and then whispered. The other man nodded and said no more.
Tang Mao and some brave scholars also leaned over after seeing them talk, he saluted respectfully to Liuchuan Feng, and said sincerely: "I have heard the name of Feng's prince for a long time, and when I see it today, he is really a great hero!" Under the admiration, at the age of sixteen, he went to the north alone to lead troops to guard the border passes, and defeated various powerful enemies many times, he is really a general who wins a hundred battles! Later, not long after returning to Beijing, Yu Chaotang put forward five suggestions to solve the problem of flooding in the Red River once and for all. What a role model for my generation! ”
Hearing this guy's praise, Rukawa Kaede was a little surprised, he looked at this young man carefully, and found that he was quite handsome, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, obviously a guy with real talent and learning, and his tone and attitude were quite sincere, which made him have a good impression of him, and also changed his opinion of these scholars a little.
After all, he is a scholar, smart and perceptive, and he can be molded in the future, and he is the future pillar of the empire, but he still has to let them know some correct ways of being an official in advance, so Rukawa Kaede smiled gently.
"This is what should be done in the future, the master has a good saying, first the worries of the world and worries, and then the joy of the world. Those of us who have more power should go and do more facts instead of staying home all day looking at the flowers and talking about the day. ”
Tang Mao leaned over again and said seriously: "What Feng Shizi taught is that he also deeply feels the same way, the people are the foundation of the empire, and only when the people are stable and peaceful, the empire can be worry-free!" It's a pity that I'm just a common man preparing for exams today, and I can't do much, so I really hope that there will be more people in the empire who do practical things like you. ”
"Hey, you're interesting, yes, to have this kind of insight shows that you are a smart person, and your future will be bright in the future, what's your name?" Rukawa Kaede admires this guy very much, and has some intention of attracting talents.
"Under the surname Tang Mingmao, the word Bohu."
"Yes, Tang Mao Tang Bohu, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to Jinyiwei to find me." Rukawa Kaede said with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that Feng Shizi not only has a hundred schemes on the battlefield, but even his writing is quite amazing, after all, he is a master and disciple, I don't know if there is a chance to hear Feng Shizi's poems?" Someone said in a weird way.
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity, why don't you show your literary brilliance and come up with one or two earth-shattering ghosts and gods, so as to open everyone's eyes."
Liuchuan Yun said, he was a little left out, as the master of this room, he felt very uncomfortable, so he wanted to suppress this guy, they all knew that Liuchuan didn't seem to read much, his writing was not good, and he was full of vulgar words.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Rukawa Kaede was also very happy, he was thinking about how to educate these future flowers of the empire, and the opportunity came, clearing his throat.
"Since everyone wants to see what is called a real masterpiece, then you're welcome, you all listen to it for me, and take notes carefully!" He said loudly and arrogantly.
Liuchuan Yun smiled, but it was a sneer, he wanted to see what you Liuchuan Feng was capable of, dare to brag like this, wait until you don't have very good poems come out, then it will be a shame to go home, these scholars' mouths are not strict, not to mention how can they endure such humiliation when they are arrogant?
However, someone took out a small notebook, looked serious, and made notes, he was Tang Mao and a few honest scholars.
"What is a reader? For what? Do you really understand? Now I'll tell you! ”
Rukawa Kaede stood on a high platform, and he was tall himself, so he looked like a great statue at the moment, his face was full of red light, and his voice was loud.
Some of the hundreds of scholars were unmoved, thinking that he was talking nonsense, and the scholars naturally read the classic books of Confucianism and the books of Haoran, in order to enter the court as an official and worship the prime minister?
Some of them are talking at each other, laughing and talking, thinking that he is making a big shit!
Some people are not, they are really thinking deeply, asking their hearts, what are they? What is the purpose of reading? Is it really just for the sake of being a big official or something?
Tang Mao has the answer, being an official is just a means, doing things through official positions is the goal, and doing things that are useful to the people, the empire, and the world is his ultimate goal!
Liuchuan Feng's eyes were deep, drifting into the distance, and Zhongzheng said calmly: "I don't know what you think, anyway, my teacher once told me, scholars, set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" This is the real reader! ”
PS: It's a familiar phrase, but every time I read it, I have a different idea.
This is said by Zhang Hengqu Zhang Zai, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, who is also known as Zhang Zi.
Confucius said: Yao Shun is sick. It also means that even they can't do this kind of responsibility and ambition to help the world, and they are ashamed of the people.
