Chapter X
The gate of Qin's mansion was closed, and according to the subordinate who touched the gray nose, Qin Zhixian closed the door today on the grounds of physical discomfort - no one was seen, including Zhu Yidao. Lao Zhu was very confused, when did this happen, Qin Zhixian actually did this? Dahan was also very helpless: "I didn't expect that Qin Zhixian would have such an attitude, didn't he know that he was in trouble?" ”
Lao Zhu was stunned, Qin Zhixian's move meant that he had a non-intervening attitude towards this matter, he himself was beyond the object, looking at Wang Decai's attack on Zhu Yidao, it is said that it should be Zhu Yidao who is coming to the disaster, why would the Han say that even Qin Zhixian is also in trouble?
Dahan's half-squinted eyes revealed a hint of glitter: "The disagreement between Qin Mi and Wang Decai is known to the whole city, but as everyone knows, the two sides unanimously did not tear their faces because there was no reason. Nor is it necessary. But now, because of us, Qin Mi has to tear his face with Wang Decai. He, Wang Decai, will definitely not give up, as long as Wang Decai moves first, Qin Mi will never retreat. He is a local, and what he has done is seen by the fathers and villagers here, and he has no way out, no choice. If he retreats, then he will have only one consequence: either Wang Decai will be completely driven out of Xinyang County, or his whole family will die. To say that Qin Mi's personality is also relatively weak, I heard that he has been watching Wang Decai stir around under his nose for so many years, but he doesn't have a clear attitude......"
Zhu Yidao suddenly came to his senses. He patted his head: "Could it be that Qin Mi's nature is so weak that he is pretending?" ”
The big man touched his chin while flipping the poker in his hand with a hula hula sound: "If that's the case, it's because Qin Mi's background and backstage are far inferior to Wang Decai." He's been forbearing. has been waiting for an opportunity, a pile of iron evidence, an opportunity and evidence that can eradicate Wang Decai and his backstage in one fell swoop. It is precisely because he has no way to retreat and no choice, so he either does not move, or he moves like an invasion like a mountain, and tramples Wang Decai to death at once, at least so that Wang Decai's background does not dare to act rashly because of these! And he has no capital to lose, this battle can only be won and not lost. So he retreated step by step, but he kept watching Wang Decai's every move. When Wang De is completely carried away, he will reveal the handle, reveal enough handle, then at this time, it is the time for Qin Mi to do it! ”
When Zhu Yidao heard this, his head suddenly became as big as a fight: "His lord has enough time to wait, but we don't!" This time, he didn't plan to help us at all, and even if Wang Decai attacked us with a thunderous force, he wouldn't easily turn his face with him. In the end, we are still unlucky! This matter, no matter what, Qin Zhixian can't be kept out of it! ”
Dahan grinned: "Who said he was kept out of the matter?" We're going to persuade him in, force him in, drag him in! ”
"But now we can't even see people's faces, how can this be good, what can we do about it?" Lao Zhu kept scratching his head.
"Don't worry, we can't go during the day, we'll go to his house tonight to find him. I don't think Qin Zhixian will sleep much tonight. The big man mysteriously put the cards on the table.
It was night, the night was thick and the moon was light, and only the stars kept blinking in the sky, as if to see through the haze of everything in the world.
Qin Mi sat in the small pavilion of the rockery in the afternoon, with a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts on the table, drinking alone to the moon.
When you sing about wine, life is geometric. Once again, he unconsciously remembered his mentor, who had praised him more than once for being the most talented and intelligent student he had ever met in his life. But in the end, the teacher did not give himself the best wealth, but sent himself to a small town so far away from Jingshi, his hometown to be a small magistrate. Qin Mi was very incomprehensible and unconvinced at that time.
More than ten years ago, the young and vigorous Qin Mi High School raised people, and he had the wisdom of his teacher, which period of time was the happiest time for Qin Mi. The most happy thing for literati is often to be recognized and appreciated by their idols. Qin Mi is no exception. He talked with his mentor almost every night, but the mentor always looked at him with a smile and didn't make a single comment. But when it came time to confer a specific official position, the teacher threw himself far away.
Qin Mi clearly remembered that before leaving, his teacher called him to his mansion, and Chunchun taught:
"Sheren (Qin Mi's character), I know that you are extremely dissatisfied with me for sending you so far away. But I still have to say that you are my best, most promising and most talented student. But people have to be tempered, and jade can't be made without cutting. It is precisely because of the high expectations of you that I am now keeping you away from the temple. And the teacher wants to tell you why you are going to be in such a place. ”
"What is your hometown of Xinyang County? The terrain there is dangerous, and it has been called the southern gate of the Central Plains since ancient times. Platform Pass, Wusheng Pass, Changtai Pass, and the three passes guard the entrance from Taihang Mountain to the Central Plains. It can be said that those who believe in the sun will get the Central Plains. Further up in Xinyang County is an endless plain, and there is no natural danger to defend in the Central Plains! Where I let you go, I want you to guard the southern gate of the Central Plains for me. Qi Jiguang is in Mongolia in the north, as long as you ensure that Xinyang is foolproof, the Central Plains is still guaranteed not to lose. Pity my Ming Dynasty, the only one who can fight and can fight is Qi Jiguang! Xinyang is only in your hands, I can rest assured. ”
"Others say that I, Zhang Juzheng, have monopoly power, and I am Cao Cao of the Ming Dynasty by order of the Son of Heaven, but we are the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor can call the wind and rain, and only I Zhang Juzheng can shelter from the wind and rain. It is said that I, Zhang Ju, am arrogant and domineering, and I don't take the emperor seriously, but with so many wars, famines, and officialdom battles, which one can be balanced with arrogance? Is there anything that the young emperor can do? I have offended too many people by a whip law and the apportionment system, but it is better to force them than to force the people to rebel. Since I am the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, it is my sin that the court condemns me, and the people scold my mother, and I should scold my mother. Heaven and earth are unkind...... I, Zhang Juzheng, am ashamed of my father and fellow villagers! ”
"You have to remember to do things, don't ask if you can do it, but ask if you should do it. For so many years, I have defeated Yan Song and Gao Gong...... I'm for myself, I don't care about merit or demerits, it's useless to care, what I care about is that the people of the Ming Dynasty don't scold me after I leave. The people, only the people, can truly evaluate a person's merits and demerits! Dynasties can be replaced, but the people's hearts will not be replaced! Take 10,000 steps back, you can ignore the world, but you shouldn't ignore your white-haired father. ”
"I want to send you a few words, one is what our civil officials said, "To be an official, you have to think twice", what is called "think twice", think twice is to think about danger, think about retreat, and think about change. Knowing the danger can avoid the danger, this is called thinking about the danger; Hiding in a place where no one notices you, this is called retreat; If you retreat, you will have a chance, and then slowly look and think about what you did wrong in the past and what to do in the future, which is called thinking change. I'll teach you the sentence that the military attaches said, 'put it to death and then live', look at the number of my Ming Dynasty, sooner or later, this emperor will be pro-government one day, and you will really die on that day." In the name of the emperor now, I will send you to Xinyang County to be the magistrate of the county, you have to hold your tail between your legs, and really let the people in the Henan Buzheng Mansion look at you again, if there is really a day when the emperor is in power, the old life of the teacher will still depend on you. ”
"Your temperament is too urgent, and you must change it in the future. I know you can't get used to seeing a lot of things, you can't get used to seeing nothing, just keep it in your heart, but don't show it. Not all people are like that. You have to look slowly, think carefully, don't just look at the turbidity of the Yellow River, but also see the clear water of the Yangtze River! The Yangtze River is flowing, and so is the Yellow River. The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields on both sides of the provinces. It can only be used because the water is clear, and it can only be used because of the turbidity of the water, which has been the case since ancient times. This is to make you not too stubborn, and you must keep it in mind! ”
On the 20th day of the sixth lunar month of the tenth year of Wanli, the teacher died of illness, and the family was ruined.
Qin Mi recalled his teacher's voice and smile, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, from that day on, he reined in his edge, was cautious in his words and deeds, and walked step by step to the present.
