Text Chapter 573 It's hard to argue between talent and crumbs
In fact, seriously speaking, Dong Zhongshu's life in the past few years has been very comfortable compared to when he was the minister of state under the two disobedient princes and kings. Now he thinks back that the time when he studied hard for three years in his prime of life without going downstairs or peeking into the garden in order to study for three years is far inferior if compared with the harvest in Chang'an College in the past few years.
At that time, he rummaged through the hundred schools of thought, and finally believed that only the academic essence of Confucianism was the way to govern the country that could be applied to the world. So he studied hard, trying to carry forward this knowledge to the extreme, and by the way, try it out in the country's major politics, which can be regarded as living up to his own talent.
The high spirits of his youth, the twists and turns of studying in middle age, and the ups and downs of officialdom and official career, in the heart of this person who has learned all over the world and five cars, are just passing by in the heart.
Now, he is extremely glad that he was fortunate enough to witness the popular power mobilized by that young man on the streets of Chang'an. It was precisely because of that touch that he began to gradually change his thinking. Later, he took the initiative to get acquainted with Yuan Zhao.
Looking back now, how did I get impressed by that gentle-smiling boy in the first place...... The warmth of a cup of tea at dusk? Or is it the mellow aroma of that glass of wine? Or maybe it's just a few words? Perhaps there is great wisdom in the world, and there is no need for much persuasion. The avenue of the world, tacit understanding in the heart, that's all!
That young man was impressed by many people's hearts just because of this. For example, he Dong Zhongshu, such as the master father who looks at the world coldly.
Speaking of the master father, I haven't seen him for a few days. Dong Zhongshu knew that he left Changle Yuan and went to Chang'an. It's an extraordinary thing. But when he went that night, he didn't say anything to his old friend, and the only request seemed to be to ask him to pay more attention to the wind direction in Chang'an College.
Although Dong Zhongshu does not know much about some of Yuan Zhao's long-term plans and arrangements in his own system. But in the past few years of communication, he has faintly realized that the ambition in this son's heart may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Dong Zhongshu once painted heavy ink on the back of a sentence in a book written by a Confucian master.
"The scenery stops, and the mountains look up to ......!"
As time passed, he heard and witnessed all that the young man had done, and he thought that these words were appropriate.
However, the sudden departure of the master Yan, who has been in seclusion for many years, still caused deep worries in Dong Zhongshu's heart. Unless anything particularly important happens, this resourceful old scholar will not be easily dispatched. Although Dong Zhongshu was secretly suspicious, he would not take the initiative to inquire. To this day, when he stood in the shade of the dense summer trees and heard the sound of argument coming from the church house, a thunderclap suddenly broke out in his heart!
The wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the jade dew golden cicada feels! I see...... The emperor's patrol seems ordinary, but in fact, there are countless mysteries hidden!
"Tokai ah...... Will the peace under the blue waves be broken from now on? If there is a ripple as a result, I am afraid that the serious consequences caused by it will not be easily calmed down. ”
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was about to turn the quarantine path and enter the church house to stop the talk of it. But suddenly I heard the topic change inside, and someone began to talk about other things.
"Alright, alright! Wei Gongzi, Brother Xin, before His Majesty the Emperor has clearly announced his will, let's not start a dispute about this, so as not to hurt the peace...... Ha ha! By the way, have you heard, the Son of Heaven has already promised him face-to-face that he wants to marry a princess in the palace to him while conferring the knighthood on that Luan Immortal Master! Gee...... If that's true, that's true...... Hehe! ”
Someone came out to be a peacemaker and quickly changed the subject. The slightly awkward atmosphere just now was dissolved. The young man named Xin Qingji was also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he was a little embarrassed by Wei Feng's public ridicule, but thinking of the stakes behind this, he didn't have a seizure after all, he just sat aside with a cold face and stopped talking.
The house was very large, all covered with soft mats, and in front of each person there were several desks, which were piled with various books. In addition to those who went out in groups of threes and threes, there were forty or fifty people inside. However, except for their small pile of talking, the rest are either writing seriously or burying their heads in the desk.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and from ancient times to the present, no matter what kind of environment it is in, this phenomenon will not change. The discussion of these eunuchs and eunuchs will not be joined by others. Therefore, despite some arguments just now, no one paid attention to them. But after hearing the words just said, an inconspicuous young man who was dozing off at his desk in the back corner raised his head and looked this way.
Seeing that Xin Qingji lowered his head and didn't speak, then Wei Feng didn't care about himself. In fact, he has long been unaccustomed to seeing that this person in their circle always looks scheming, and he wants to find an opportunity to humiliate him in public, and he will become obedient and obedient in the future. However, since the other party did not have the courage to confront him, he stopped targeting him and continued to show that he knew a lot.
"Well, you're right, this matter has been confirmed by the people in the palace. To be precise, the princess that His Majesty the Emperor promised to Luan Immortal Master was the little princess of Jianzhang Palace. ”
For many years, the extent of the leakage of news from Weiyang Palace has been like a broken sieve. Except for some things that have major secrets, and the palace people dare not talk nonsense, the rest of the events like these similar gossip news, it is completely impossible to keep them secret.
Sure enough, when it comes to such things, everyone seems to be more enthusiastic. There was a lot of discussion at the moment, which was inevitably mixed with some envy and frivolous conjecture for the little princess.
"Hehe, Princess Yunxi's age doesn't seem to be very old, right? But according to legend, it's also a beautiful billet. It's cheaper than the immortal master who doesn't know what age, this ...... It can be regarded as an old cow eating tender grass, right? ”
"yes, it's a pity! However, the immortal master is said to have many immortal methods, and he is trained between the beds...... Maybe there is even more beauty in this, which is not known to ordinary people like us. Ha ha! ”
"I've heard a lot of sayings that these practicing warlocks and immortals will have some methods of collecting yin and supplementing yang. The reason why they have a good look may have something to do with it. Little princess...... Ha ha! ”
Before entering Chang'an Academy, this group of Chang'an children were originally a little stubborn, and they didn't think it was a serious matter to ridicule each other. The Han never punished for his words, even the Empress Wei, who is now the mother of the world, was the object of casual talk in people's mouths in the early years, not to mention others.
Young people who enter Chang'an College to study, if they only talk about mental talent, are selected through assessment. However, in terms of personal cultivation and morality, up to now, there has not been a strict standard. They openly discussed royal private affairs in front of the public, although it was not a taboo, but the lewd thoughts revealed between their words had already made many people next to them look sideways.
Wei Feng noticed the gazes of the people around him, but he didn't care. Sensationalism and like to show off in public are what people like them have always liked, not to mention that he has recently heard some discussions from his father and many people at home, and he knows the bottom of his heart. His eyes rolled, and he coughed softly.
"You guys, the more you talk, the more you get down! The little princess is so young, what does she know? But it's our Marquis of Changle, since he married the eldest princess, it seems that he hasn't had a round house yet...... It's a pity to think of such a flower-like beauty! ”
He said this in a light tone, and there was a moment of silence around him, and for a moment no one immediately picked up the conversation. Many people are actually taken aback and don't understand why the topic is getting more and more drawn to it. After all, Changle Hou Yuanzhao's reputation is too loud, and most people don't have the courage to make fun of his private life.
The boy in the corner straightened up, a chill in his eyes. In a somewhat subtle atmosphere, after a little doubt, feeling the hint in Wei Feng's eyes, several guys who had always looked at him moved in their hearts, and seemed to think of something. began to echo the words one after another.
Wei Feng was very proud. With his current ability, although there is no way to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, in this Chang'an Academy, it is still possible to guide the direction of discussion and help the forces to which my father belongs to expand their influence from this level.
This dashing son in white sits in the center of a group of people according to the case, and has the demeanor of a leader. But just as he was about to go deeper into the topic. Almost without warning, the window behind him was pushed open by a thrust of rage, and then a basket full of fruit was buckled on his head.
This sudden change occurred and no one expected it. The fruit basket was full of freshly picked strawberries and the like, and these varieties imported from the Western Regions were planted in a large area of open space next to Chang'an College, and it was ripe. Waiting until Wei Gongzi, who was angry, jumped up, with the help of a few people next to him, he removed the fruit basket from his head, although he was not injured, but his face and clothes were already like opening a dye shop, and he was confused.
"You bastard! What is all the nonsense?! It's not enough to insult me, even my sister is choreographed...... Today, today...... When I go back to the palace, I will tell my father and mother that I will kill your whole family ......! ”
Shaded by tall trees, the outside of the church house looks very cool. In front of a few entourages, a slim girl wearing only an ordinary gauze skirt stood there, her face flushed with righteousness, pointing at their group with her fingers, her eyes were already full of tears.
Could it be that this beautiful but slightly immature girl is the little princess...... How did she end up here? Everyone was in a daze.
