Chapter 169: Punishment of the Heart (II)

The content of He Xinyin's lecture is not as rebellious as imagined. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For example, no king and no father is not a king and father, in fact, it is said that the king and father are also known in their hearts, and Mencius said that there is no king and no father, and there is no father in his heart, which is too rebellious. Purely theoretically, it is not a rebellious minister and a thief. There is also a saying that people's hearts are Tai Chi, He Xinyin also said that the emperor is the Tai Chi in the world, and it is the biggest Tai Chi Purely from a theoretical point of view, it cannot be said that he is a thief. It's just that it's one thing how he says it, and it's another thing how the people under him listen to it, so it's not easy to do. ”

The big ship of the Zhang family untied the cable and followed the waterway and headed for Jiangning. Fan Jin stood on the deck, talking to Zhang.

"He Xinyin's academic thinking is benevolence, so I will talk to him about benevolence. It is true that the benevolent love others, and he advocates that all flesh should not be kind, which is also right. We love each other, so we have to love everyone, so that the world will be better, and I fully support this view. In fact, if an academic idea can be accepted by the general public, there will not be much problem with its theory, and everyone is not stupid, if this academic idea is contrary to human nature, not so many people will listen to it. ”

"But academics are one thing, how to understand and how to execute is another. Taking benevolence as an example, He Xinyin talks about love and benevolence, these are all right. But in the matter of Changsha, what is great benevolence and what is great love? Those rebellious ministers and thieves were killed, which may be unkind. The Jane family is very miserable, and the son gave away his wife and was thrown into the water, which looks also miserable and unkind. But this is the problem that Mencius said when he saw King Liang Hui that he saw the cattle but did not see the sheep, and he could not only see them miserable, but ignore those who did not see them. If Jian Shoumei and others really rebelled in Xiangxi, once Changsha was lost, what would these citizens do? Most of the people who listened to the lecture had a few small coins in their hands, and they were not poor people with no food or clothing, who would guarantee their property? Who will save their lives? When those rebellious soldiers killed people, set fires and robbed things, where was the word benevolence? ”

"What kind of environment is Xiangxi, everyone knows that there is a poor and white place, and if they don't live if they don't robber, if they get the military book and learn to fight, and wait until the big city is attacked, how can they not kill people and set fire to rob big households? When dozens of Jane's families come out, who will be in charge of them? Even if Changsha is not broken, and other cities are broken, the situation is the same. ”

"Even if the thieves fail to break the city, the court will always have to transfer troops and ask for food. The north-south channel of Changsha is naturally the first to bear the brunt. The people have to raise taxes, the men have to go to the masters, send military funds to the front, and if they don't do it, they will be dragged to the battlefield to fight. The women are also not safe, and if a rebel army rushes in, the women will suffer. At that time, I was afraid that I didn't know how much Mrs. Jane would come out. It is better for a family to cry than to cry all the way, and it is better for a person to cry than a family. ”

Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Fan relied on this theory to refute He Xinyin? ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "No." As soon as I said that, the officers and soldiers came in. He Xinyin didn't have time to debate anything with me before he was arrested. So I can't talk about refutation or refutation, in fact, I haven't thought of refuting Hofu Mountain. If you can come out to lecture, your verbal skills will not be weak, he is a Confucian, and I may not be an opponent if I am really reasonable. I don't think he was speechless when he could really say these words, I don't say this to him, but to those who listen. ”

"He Xinyin does not recruit Confucian scholars when he lectures, but lets the peddlers and pawns come, these people do not understand as many truths as scribes, but they also have a strength, that is, they are pragmatic enough. It is better to tell them 10,000 words of truth, than to tell them a word of interest. What I'm talking about are their real interests. If the thieves are not destroyed, their own wealth and wealth will be lost, which is benevolence? Whoever loves them is benevolent. If the people who listen to the lecture are all Confucian scholars, Kong said Chengren, and Meng said that he took righteousness, everyone was talking about the Tao. No matter how many interests I have talked about, I will not be able to shake everyone's hearts. These people talk about profit, and they will follow the steps of those who give them more benefits. ”

In fact, when they listen to He Xinyin's lectures, it can't show how powerful He Xinyin is, in the final analysis, it is still a kind of interest, which is not gold and silver treasures on the surface, but human dignity. Most of those people are poor, and they are called around for their daily work, and no one takes them seriously. Girls laugh and accompany guests, and occasionally meet guests with bad temper or bad mood, and it is common to be beaten and scolded. He Xinyin gave them lectures, and also asked them to come up and speak, and publicize that everyone is close, for them, they will feel that they are on an equal footing with those Confucian scholars, and they are equal status, at least in the academy, they are equal to those big people, and here they can get the dignity that they usually can't get. This benefit is not real money, but it is not much worse than gold and silver. How can we give them dignity, if we want to take this dignity, the two will definitely have to confront. But when I make this argument of interest, these people will hesitate to think about which is more important, dignity or life and property. ”

"This kind of hesitation may not last long, after all, He Xinyin is highly respected, as long as he stands up and shouts a few times, in the environment of the academy, those people will attack me en masse. This is also the reason why I want the officers and soldiers to kill when they see the signal, not to give the people time to think about the reaction, and not to give He Xinyin time to call the disciples and besiege me. When the people see the bright knives and guns, they will understand that the government is really moving this time, if they continue to defend He Xinyin, they will have to oppose the government, this kind of courage is not available to everyone, most people will choose to back down at this time, this is normal, and it is also the best news for us. ”

The girl nodded, "When I went down the mountain that day, I also thought about whether Brother Fan could escape by himself in the face of so many disciples. Brother Kanzhi said that Brother Fan was sure, and it seemed that he was right. Chess players should not enter the game, but if you want Brother Fan to be so strategic, and occasionally enter a few games, I think it is also a good thing, at least it is very comfortable. ”

She smiled, "After He Xinyin expelled Yan Song, he regarded himself as a saint among the people, and he was not on good terms with his teacher Yan Jun, but his reputation did not fall. After arriving in Changsha, he was not honest, he ran for Jian Shoumei and those people to shout grievances, and threatened the government with the wishes of the country, if he could argue with him in person, this opportunity should not be missed. I knew that my little sister wouldn't go down the mountain that day, and I would see how Brother Fan reasoned with him in the academy. ”

Fan Jin said: "This is nothing to look at, the scholar is just a war of words, and the body of the sister should not stay in that kind of place for long." What's more, I didn't win the argument against him, but the officers and soldiers came in time, and I didn't lose. ”

"If you don't lose, you win." The girl unilaterally announced Fan Jin's victory domineeringly. He also said: "He is very popular with the people in Huguang, and this time he was sent to the yamen, I am afraid that Brother Chen Shi has a headache." ”

The Chen Shi brother she said was Chen Rui, the governor of Huguang, who was a protΓ©gΓ© of Zhang Juzhengfang, although he had a lot of beard, but he and Zhang's family could only be compared to brother and sister. There is a master-apprentice relationship, and there is no need to doubt his position, but the objective difficulty is here, a celebrity like He Xinyin is easy to catch and difficult to control, and it is a hot steamed bun if he is really sent to prison, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

After all, behind He Xin's invisibility, there is a powerful faction of the Heart School, even if you don't count those ordinary disciples, it is the three brothers of the Geng family of Huang An's so-called "Heavenly Nest", and the power of the school they represent, it is enough to give Chen Rui a headache.

Fan Jin said: "I also understand Chen Zhongcheng's difficulties, so I asked for this confession from Shan before. Geng Tiantai is a person in the officialdom, and he should not be taught these things, he can understand them himself. With a confession in hand, what are you afraid of him? Everyone took a step back, and they were all right, sacrificing only one He Xinyin, for those in the Geng family, it was actually the best ending. If they insist on rescuing He Fushan and making this case bigger, they will not be able to find out the whole story of the demon book, and Tianwo may not be stable. Now that everyone has withdrawn their troops, we can get rid of He Xinyin and put him in prison, which can not only stop this momentum of teaching, but also make these folk schools stop in moderation. The next thing is that the official school began to take over, and the official people were stationed in Yuelu to teach the official school. The people can still listen, teach everyone the principles of life, let the people know that if there is a problem, they should go to the government, and don't use their own fists, these are true. Just don't talk too much. The Geng family can take a step back, and they can live their lives in peace. Lecture at home, do a literary meeting or something, and no one cares. ”

The girl said: "Brother Fan's abacus is very good, but have you ever thought that if you seal Yuelu Academy and turn official lectures into private lectures, these things will inevitably cause a lot of discussion in Huguang." Besides, He Xinyin's lecture this time was also invited by Changsha Qi Yuan, Qi Weng is a Confucian in Changsha, and he is a famous family, and he has some influence in the local area. They won't let this matter be settled, and in order to unload the burden, Brother Chen may put the blame on Brother Fan. ”

"That's for sure, if you don't push it to me, you will have to take the blame on the second son, of course you can't do this, so I have to carry it. Carry it, and carry it, not much of this black pot. As I said, if you want to do pasting and painting, you can't be afraid of tiredness and dirty. If you want to keep your body from getting slurry, it's impossible, as long as the house is beautifully brushed and pasted well, and your body is dirty, I admit it. ”

He smiled indifferently, "When He Xinyin lectured, he often mentioned this form, hoping to promote associations among the people, and hoping to achieve the purpose of helping each other in this form." Everyone is in a meeting, you help me, I help you, and help each other with anything. This idea is good, but this form is dangerous. Once the meeting will become bigger and bigger, more and more, the power of the government will become weaker and weaker, and when the time comes, the government will not be as strong as the people, and the yamen will see the face of the meeting, then the world will be in chaos. This is not alarmist, He Xinyin said when he lectured that the people are noble and the king is light, and Zai Fu is secondary. As long as the people want, the ministers also refer to the affairs of the family. Especially when he really drove Yan Song, the people also believed in him, he was knowledgeable, it didn't matter what he thought, but if all the people thought so, it would be very dangerous. Qi Yuanwai invited him to give a lecture, also in order to use He Xinyin's name to put pressure on the magistrates not to think about the new law in Huguang. He Xinyin's group of disciples can go to Zaifu today, and they can chase the emperor tomorrow, and even the emperor can go, so who can't go? Everyone wants to rely on strength to obtain everything, and there is no such thing as stability in this world. Just for this one, I have to arrest him too. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will resist arrest?"

"I don't think He Xinyin is so bold, and besides, it is tantamount to confirming his crime of treason, coercing the disciples against the government, and he will die faster. This man is very smart, as soon as the officers and soldiers rushed in, he ordered the disciples not to resist, and he took the initiative to go with the Jinyi guard, obviously because he didn't want to be caught. Anyway, it's just to eat back to prison, he should have gotten used to it. ”

"Is it just prison food? Brother Fan wants to catch, others may think differently, if the disposal is too much...... Do you know what happened? It is easy for He Xinyin to enter the prison this time, but if he wants to come out, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”

"Luo Shan's more than 100,000 lives have been carried on his back, and I don't care if there are more than one or two. Even if there is a real death in the future, even if I Fan Jin kills well, it is not a big deal. Of course, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and I urge everyone to hurry up and set off, just for this. If the ship was still parked in Changsha, I wouldn't dare to be so free. ”

The girl smiled slightly, and suddenly asked: "Brother Fan, have you ever heard someone say that He Xinyin once told people that he would be the Zaifu one day, and he would have to seek his life for the Zaifu?" ”

Fan Jinhui had an extremely innocent and ignorant expression, "Is there such a thing?" I'm from Guangdong, and the news is very closed, where can I hear this kind of news? Never heard of it. ”

"Slippery ......" the girl muttered in a low voice, but the expression on her face was extremely happy, "Jia Yan hates lecturing the most, if Brother Fan can make the wind of lecturing go this time, Jia Yan will definitely be happy in his heart." ”

"It can make Yuan Weng smile, which is better than a reward of ten thousand gold."

The girl asked again: "Brother Fan, after Shan's threw himself into the water that day, someone later found a bunch of ropes, but no dead body was found, don't you worry that she is not dead?" ”

"Dead or not, there's nothing to worry about, she can't afford to make waves alone. If she loses her heart and goes crazy to rob the prison, she just happens to have an outlaw with her father-in-law. ”

"Aren't you afraid that she will go to Guangdong to trouble your family?"

"She is from Huguang, she can't even speak Cantonese, and she went to Guangdong to trouble me? I can't even find the road in Guangdong, I'm afraid where she came from? If you can really escape, it may not be a bad thing. Live well, don't make waves, she and her son may have a chance to see each other again in the future. She may be dead, the body has not been found, maybe life is better than death, maybe she really survived, where to hide. If she really wants to seek revenge on me, I'll do the next, what can I do? ”

The autumn wind was getting stronger, and Fan Jin spoke generously at the bow of the boat, without the slightest fear in his eyes. The Zhang family knew that whether it was the hatred of the Shan family or the disgust of the Huguangshi people, Fan Jin had no need to follow, he was just making a shield for his father. Although the autumn wind is cold, the heart is warm, and he is speechless for a long time when he stands on the bow of the boat.

The wind blows the waves, and the ship moves like the wind. On a boat in the opposite direction of the Zhangjia ship, Shan sat in the bilge, his eyes looking at the deck, his face expressionless. Including Fan Jin, they all thought that the woman who was tied up with five flowers would definitely drown, and no one thought about falling stones or anything like that. But she didn't know that she had learned a kung fu called the method of solving, and as long as she had a few breaths, the rope couldn't tie her.

If she hadn't been worried about the safety of the child, she would have escaped from the boat and killed her first. The owner of this boat is a foreigner who doesn't know her, and her goal is to go to Xiangxi to do a business, and she is willing to take in such a woman of unknown origin, so she naturally has some thoughts of taking advantage.

The chastity that had been preserved on that great ship was soon to be lost. Even if she could easily kill the merchant who had bad intentions for her after regaining her strength, she could not control the ship on her own, so she could only choose to give in.

Xianggong is destined to die, the child doesn't know where to go, there is only a skin left, and it doesn't matter how he does it. Since God has given her a chance to live, she must cherish this opportunity, save it, and find another opportunity...... Settle the favor and hatred clearly.

In Huguang, Fan Jin's name also became louder in the word of mouth of a scholar. The peddlers' pawns began to curse the name in a low voice, and scholars, schoolchildren, squires, and Confucians also began to mobilize their own networks to investigate Fan Jin's origins. In Huang Antian's nest, some great Confucians who studied the mind prepared to set off for Beijing, ready to teach Fan Jin a lesson with their own strength, so that his head would bleed.
