After listening to my words, the old woman's sad face just now stretched slightly, and said with a smile: "Sir is his student? ”

I arched my hand and said, "Exactly." ”

She pointed to a small road in the village, "Follow this road until the hut at the end is it." But at this time, I am generally not at home, and I teach the dolls morning classes in the primary school hall in the back mountain. ”

I arched my hand and said, "Then may I ask ......?"

The old woman didn't listen to me and said, "Go forward from here, turn left at the first intersection, there is a road leading to the back mountain, you have to find Mr. Fang, it is best to go there at this hour." ”

I thanked me and walked in the direction she pointed me out towards the back hill.

The so-called back hill was just a small mound of higher mounds, and I turned the cottage and walked up, and sure enough, a corner of the house was slightly visible among the trees.

After walking again, I heard the sparse sound of a scholar reading a book.

I approached gently, stood outside the school, and saw that Mr. Fang, whom I hadn't seen for seventeen years, was already full of white hair and wearing a gray cloth gown, which seemed to have been worn for more than ten years.

He is supervising the recitation of the Analects by schoolchildren.

“…… For politics and morality, such as Beichen, where the stars live together......"

This is the first sentence of the "Politics Chapter".

I can't help but think of the years in Cunmotang - when I didn't know anything about this world, it was Mr. Fang who taught me the basic rules of survival, and the Analects and the Book of Songs are all sentences of "thinking without evil".

Since then, I have regulated my life day by day according to Mr. Fang's teachings, and I have gradually felt the responsibility I bear in the Tang State Mansion, and I am no longer presumptuous, not because I dare or can't, but because I don't want to.

It was his first enlightenment that taught me to be in the world, and although he was disappointed in me, I tried my best to make amends every day after he left the house.

Now that I am an adult, Mr. Fang is old.

I don't know if he understands me now, and I'm not sure if he will be as Cui Shaoqing said many years later, no longer satisfied with teaching a copy of the Analects, but he has the idea of recovering the country.

After waiting for a long time, the morning class was over, and seven or eight children in the school rushed out the door together, bypassing me and running down the mountain.

Mr. Fang slowly put away the scroll, walked slowly towards the outside of the school hall step by step, and looked up to see me standing outside the door.

He looked me up and down, and when I saw him, my eyes were hot, and I knelt down in front of him without thinking too much.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, he didn't approach, just stood on the steps in front of the school, and said slowly: "Sir, what do you mean by this?" Such a big gift, the old man can't afford it. ”

As he spoke, he was about to move.

He didn't recognize me.

I said respectfully, "Mr. Fang...... It's me, I'm built. ”

Mr. Fang trembled and wanted to get closer, but hesitated for a moment, took two steps back, and said, "It turned out to be Gongzi, who was old and clumsy, and he couldn't recognize it." ”

In his mind, I was just a stranger who had been expelled from his school.

I said, "Sir, I know that I am wrong. ”

Mr. Fang looked at me coldly, but ignored me, bypassed me and walked straight away.

I listened to his footsteps in the distance, and my mind went back to years ago, when I knelt in Mr. Fang's room, pleading and pleading to keep him.

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, it turned out to be the schoolchildren who had just gotten out of morning class and came back, and the schoolchildren looked around me for a while, and Mr. Fang also turned back.

When they saw Mr. Fang, they ran into the school hall and sat down at the table in a proper manner.

Mr. Fang slowly approached, as if he sighed softly, but still ignored me and entered the school.

I waited outside for a long time, and an old man who was already old came up to me and said, "Mr. Fang is going to leave here in the next two days, but you people are here to disturb you?" ”

I turned my head to look at him, shook my head, and said, "No." ”

It may be that when it was time to rest, Mr. Fang saw the old man beside me and walked over and said, "These children will be entrusted to Brother Yu." ”

The person known as Brother Yu nodded, took the scroll from Mr. Fang's hand and walked away.

Mr. Fang bent down and put his arm around my shoulders and helped me up, "It's built, let's go with Mr." ”

His expression softened, and I followed behind him, walking step by step to the end of the back mountain, before asking, "Sir, how have you been doing all these years...... Luckily? ”

He smiled and said, "In this way, there is nothing to worry about, and it is more comfortable than before." "The time he said was when Chen Guo was still alive thirty years ago.

I was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

After a few years, Mr. Fang has also changed, no longer arrogant and a little more kind. If he were to go back to the past, I don't think he would have run away without saying a word.

Mr. Fang said after a long time: "I came from afar, I came to find Mr., I should have something to ask, but it doesn't matter, Mr. doesn't blame you." ”

I thought for a moment and arched my hand: "Sir, in the old years, I was ignorant and disobedient to Mr. To this day, there is still a question when it is completed, if it is falling apart today, did Mr. expect it back then? ”

Mr. Fang shook his head and said: "The rise and fall of national fortunes is often followed by the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, and before the prosperity is seen, it will be defeated, but Mr. did not expect it." ”

I said, "You said back then, if the disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people enter the world, the world will be in chaos. ”

Mr. Fang said, "Not bad. I just didn't expect it to be so fast. ”

I said, "Sir, there is another matter after the completion of this place, and I would like to ask Mr. to explain it." ”

Mr. Fang nodded and motioned for me to continue.

I arched my hand and said: "The foundation of the establishment of the world, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are all taught by Mr. When the King of Jin coveted the throne, he once instructed someone to poison His Royal Highness the King of Qin. If the soldiers come to block, the strategy of the king of Jin back then, it is impossible to prevent it, if it strikes first, and it violates the righteousness of filial piety, there is no solution to it, please advise Mr. ”

Mr. Fang stared at me for a long time before he slowly spoke: "If it was back then, Mr. would have taught you to love and brother, try to resolve it, and fulfill the name of filial piety." But now...... Sir may have been wrong, if you don't kill him, he will kill you, even if it is a brother and son, he can't care so much. ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "There is no way to have both?" ”

I also asked this sentence, the process is not easy.

Mr. Fang said, "Mr. doesn't know. ”

Even he didn't know.

Mr. Fang looked at me and shook his head again, he reminded me of the same shaking his head in Cunmo Hall many years ago, many years later, these two people still have the same path.

Mr. Fang sighed: "The hearts of the people in the world have changed. ”

The words were full of disappointment.

I said, "Sir, do you think the construction is the same for people?" ”

Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Sir's student, how can it be compared to those who kill their brothers and force their fathers?" ”
