Everyone stared at Tang Mingsang like torches, Mingsang was dumbfounded for a while, he really regretted sitting at this table, and even more regretted sitting next to Sister Nanke.

But now that the arrow is on the line, I have to send it, if I really have stage fright, I am afraid it will be even worse if I lose the face of Mo Zhai.

Thinking like this, Tang Mingsang coughed lightly, adjusted the hem of his clothes, and bowed to all the brothers and sisters seated, and then spoke unhurriedly:

"Thanks to everyone's love, Ming Sang is ugly, Ming Sang often stays in his father's library when he is young, and he often hears his father sigh that life is boring and unwilling. And there was a scholar boy by his father's side, who often accompanied his father to go out to study and practice, as short as two or three months, and as long as one or two years. Every time he came home, his father was indignant, but the scholar was very happy, and he told interesting things along the way. Brother Changfeng, do you know what? ”

Su Changfeng drank a glass of wine and said, "Naturally, this person will enjoy it better than your father, what your father sees in his eyes and what he sees in the eyes of that scholar must not be the same scenery." ”

Tang Mingsang nodded: "Yes, the two of them obviously went to a place all the way, and they saw the same scenery, but they got two emotions. ”

Nan Ke on the side listened with relish, couldn't stand Ming Sang's appetite, and urged:

"Mingsang, say it quickly, don't stop for a while!"

When Mingsang heard this, he continued: "I heard the two elder brothers talking about life just now, one likes peace and health, and the other is willing to live happily. Some people are poor and strong, and they don't fall into the ambition of the clouds, and some people stand alone in the world and don't kill the unknown! If you are not me, how can you know my pleasures?"

Su Changqing clapped his hands when he heard this, and exclaimed:

"Wonderful, wonderful, I heard that there is a prodigy in Gubei, one year old to learn language, three years old to reason, five years old to write poetry, eight years old Bogu Tong Jin, eleven years old tongue war in the world Confucian, today I saw Ming Sang, I think this matter can be true."

When Ming Sang heard this, his face flushed with shame, and he hurriedly refused politely, not daring to agree, only lowering his head and not daring to look at others.

Mo Yanxi was deeply gratified in his heart, Mingsang's child is indeed a good seedling, he is peaceful and humble, he is not arrogant or impatient in doing things, and he is very intelligent.

Praise came and went, especially Nan Ke, as if Ming Sang had just won a battle, and was extra attentive to Ming Sang with all kinds of dishes.

"How old are you?"

A low and cold inquiry suddenly came to mind. Everyone looked at the source, and it turned out to be Yuan Huaisheng, which was really strangely tight.

Mingsang got up and clenched his fists and replied:

"Go back to the ninth master, eleven years old."

"Can you read four books and five classics?"

"I've read it."

"What about the hundred schools of thought?"

"Read some too?"

"That's... What about the history of the country? ”

"Two days ago, I just finished reading."

"That's great!"

Yuan Huaisheng smiled, seemed to be particularly interested in this child named Tang Mingsang, and asked:

"Then let me ask you, now that the eastern border of Yuanling is constantly intruding, what should I do?"

Tang Mingsang's heart fluttered, what this ninth master asked was... Regarding the affairs of the government, he hesitated for a while and did not dare to reply.

Yuan Huaisheng naturally understood what Ming Sang was thinking. Then he reassured:

"Yuan Ling governs the country, based on the people, this world is the Shun Kangdi in Wenxi City, and it is also the common people like you and me, so it is not a presumptuous talk about the government, even if you say it, you are not afraid of others."

Mo Yanxi was a little surprised, this person was really unpredictable, but he used the most indifferent expression to say the most considerate words, and it was inexplicably calming. It's weird!

Ming Sang was also like Mo Yanxi, so his confidence skyrocketed in an instant, and he spoke freely.

"The eastern border of Yuanling has been invaded by the Tatars all the year round, burned, killed and plundered, and tried many times. According to Mingsang Bo, there are two ways to do it. ”

"The Tatars live on horseback all year round, so the elite cavalry is certain, and they can risk their lives to come to our territory to rob things, which shows that they lack food, and there are few ways to obtain food, if Yuan Ling is willing to send envoys to take the initiative to turn the war into jade silk, spread culture and farming skills, presumably after many years, it must be a life of peace and contentment for each other."

After Tang Mingsang finished speaking, he paused, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he continued:

"As for the second one, it's to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Tatars dare to do this all the year round, a large part of the reason is that Yuan Ling did not send male soldiers to deal with this matter, after each incident, but the organizers of the old, weak, sick and disabled decrepit soldiers to pacify, if at this time, our country is willing to surprise, gather the army to go out, attack it unprepared, it will definitely be able to unify Tatar, but also expand the land of the country, killing two birds with one stone, it is very cost-effective. ”

Yuan Huaisheng nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask:

"If there is a person who confuses the court, what about it?"

Ming Sang lowered his head and pondered, the matter of Chao Gang is too far away, Ming Sang is not a child of a family, and he has not been edified, this question is difficult.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Mingsang seemed to have an idea, and whispered:

"The ancient sages have all left pen and ink, and many of them mention the people who confuse the dynasty, and they must be very hateful, but..."

Speaking of this, Tang Mingsang glanced at Yuan Huaisheng and didn't dare to answer deeply.

Yuan Huaisheng smiled: "Speak." ”

Tang Mingsang continued: "But how can it be regarded as confusing the dynasty? It is up to others to decide what is right and wrong, and the reputation is determined by others, and it is all judged by future generations. Hundreds of years ago, there was a prime minister who had a brilliant mind and talent, and his foresight was not comparable to others!

Since the person took office, he advocated changing the law and reforming the system, but in a few years, the country was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He is innocent, and he is all for the sake of righteousness, which is so chilling. ”

Tang Mingsang's words were round, and he said loudly, everyone was silent, and sighed that Mingsang was brave and knowledgeable, right and wrong were clear, and losing was a great talent!

Yuan Huaisheng said with a smile: "Shang Gong is indeed a rare talent in a hundred years, his vision is so high, we can only look at it, however, right and wrong have their own judgments, at that time, the power was riotous, and he did not hesitate to destroy a generation of heroes, but now, looking at all, the virtue of Shang Gong, all the people praise, and the emperor all follow suit, it can be seen that there are always people with clear hearts." ”

Tang Mingsang replied respectfully: "What the Ninth Master said is extremely true, therefore, those who cause trouble in the dynasty, there are black and white, beware of themselves like a mirror, the black one will naturally be punished heavily, and he cannot let it go, and the white one will keep his name clear and preach and praise." ”

Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What if there is one person, who is a Qing official who is dedicated to the people, and a minister who is chaotic in the court?" ”

Mingsang was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, and thinking about it again and again was fruitless.

"Mingsang is not talented, I don't know how to speak, it's just... Is there really such a person in this world? ”

Yuan Huaisheng took a sip of tea, and then replied calmly:

"Naturally, do you know that Yuan Ling was the former dynasty of Taifu Yuanqing, how to judge?"

"The notoriety of thousands of miles, the person who flies and dung and dots the jade, cruelty to the loyal and good, is not worthy of living in the world!"

Su Changqing on the side was a little indignant, word by word, every sentence contained a sharp sword!

Yuan Huaisheng nodded and said: "Yes, everyone in the world says so, Yuan Qing, as the prince's school inspector, brutalized and excluded loyal officials according to the situation, and his daily life is even more extravagant, arrogant, and disregardful, and he is really a great evil person, these are not intentionally made up by others."

However, do you remember the rebellion in the north, the prince of Jin commanded ten thousand troops in the north, raised the banner and proclaimed himself king, and colluded with the Hu people to go all the way from the north to the center, but all the towns passed, it was bloody and bloody, and they approached Wenxi City, everyone was powerless, and the officials in the court were greedy for life and afraid of death, most of them had already defected and fled the city, and even worse, they directly defected to the enemy army and changed their lives to survive. ”

Mo Yanxi naturally felt that Mo Yanxi was only five or six years old that year, and somehow, the people in Wenxi City were panicked, and they all said that Wenxi was not safe, but in two or three days, the remaining people in Wenxi City were less than thirty percent!

There are many officials and courtiers who gather in Shangshu Mansion every day to discuss matters, at that time Mo Fulin was not the ruler of the dynasty, and later went out with Yuan Qing, and soon after he came back, the rebels were destroyed, and he also became the prime minister of the dynasty, with a prominent position that no one can match.

Yuan Huaisheng tapped lightly on the table with one hand and continued:

"That year, everyone said that Yuan Ling was not guaranteed, prosperous for several years, and finally ushered in a change of dynasty, even the first emperor had a retreat and was ready to fall. Yuan Qing was furious and did not want to be a person who lived in secret, so he asked Ling to be willing to serve as Yuan Ling's envoy and go to various countries to seek allies.

But at that time, there were not a few people who were eyeing Yuan Ling, and the opportunity was slim, but Yuan Qing still took the lead, took Prime Minister Mo Cheng, went all the way south, and lobbied various countries non-stop, which lasted two months, and finally brought reinforcements with a three-inch tongue, and found a glimmer of life for Yuan Ling, and then went to the martial arts alone, bringing a large number of martial arts masters with one enemy and ten. ”

Everyone was shocked, at that time, the world only said that Yuan Qing defected with Wen Xicheng's defense map, and Prime Minister Mo went to arrest him, and after various countries, he not only got back the defense map, but also brought reinforcements!

Soon after, Yuan Qing was given a punishment, cut 3,000 pieces of meat, and executed in public at the Wenxi City Gate.

If this is true... But how can it be true, if this is the case, why didn't the first emperor tell the world to return his innocence, no one has mentioned it for so many years, why is this so!

Sure enough, Su Changqing, Su Changfeng, Ming Sang and others all raised questions.

There was silence in the side hall, and after a long time, Yuan Huaisheng drank a glass of wine and suddenly chuckled.

"Say? Speak out and let the world know that it was a heinous and evil official who saved them? Then let them abandon their previous suspicions and be grateful to Yuan Qing, if this is the case, how can those who are suffering be worthy of the deceased.

Or do you say it, say it for future generations to imitate and learn, and let them know that even if you are full of evil, you can also make people grateful to Dade, so how to establish a positive trend and govern the government in the future, if this is the case, it will really become a disaster and chaos in the court. ”

Mo Yanxi was silent for a while before asking:

"Why didn't Yuan Qing resist? If this is the case, why is he at the mercy of others, with his mind and strategy, he should not be like this, and he should accept it. ”

Yuan Huaisheng and Mo Yanxi glanced at each other, there was a little anger in those eyes at the moment, and said:

"This punishment was proposed by Yuan Qing himself, in order to consolidate Yuan Ling's foundation and make it not criticized, so he asked the first emperor to block the news, and he was arrested for treason in his own name, and he was sentenced in public at the gate of Wenxi City!"

For a while, the air seemed to be frozen, and it was clear that there were two huge charcoal stoves burning in the hall, and it was still difficult to hide the cold, and everyone seemed to be in an ice cellar, cold and biting!
