Chapter 67: Where is the white cloud on the horizon?
After Zhu Houzhao and Mu Lan took their seats, Lord Xu was still talking to them attentively.
The tea arrived quickly, and Zhu Houzhao took a sip, "This is Biluochun from the Central Plains, good tea." ”
"Yes, I like to drink the good tea of the Central Plains, every time a friend goes to Daming, he will bring me some back, it is rare for a few adults to come from such a big distance in the capital, just use this tea to entertain adults."
"By the way, Master Xu, you speak Chinese very well." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, I was in high school for the imperial examination, not only read the four books and five classics proficiently, but also practiced the oral language very well, when the imperial examination, at the end, my spoken Chinese won the teacher's praise, my teacher is the famous Confucian Li Dongquan in North Korea, he has been studying in the Central Plains for many years, so later I was recommended by the teacher not only high school, but also quickly become a local official." Master Xu said,
Zhu Hou looked at this Lord Xu, but he was quite kind at the moment, he didn't expect that the imperial examination in North Korea could also affect the scholars so deeply.
"Oh, Lord Xu is really talented, I have the opportunity to learn well, and my teacher is also a famous Confucian in the Central Plains." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, that's really good, although I'm an official, but for learning, I haven't left it behind, some people just regard learning as a step into the body, but I'm out of sincere like, I hope to write a good book in a few years, when I have to go to the Central Plains to ask some Confucians." Master Xu said,
"Oh, that's good, Lord Xu is elegant, I feel very fate at first sight." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,
"Each other, although my lord is the leader of the Jinyi Guard, I also feel very elegant and abnormal, which is very rare." Master Xu said,
Zhu Houzhao laughed,
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm a leader, and I'm so confused, that is, the emperor loves me, and he often asks me to go out to do something wrong, so let me do this leader." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Oh, it turns out that the lord is the emperor's neighbor, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful." Lord Xu also smiled,
"If Lord Xu wants to study in the Central Plains in the future, I will introduce you to a friend of mine, have you heard of Wang Yangming?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,
"Mr. Wang's knowledge is so good, I have always admired it." Master Xu said,
"Well, that's good, he and I are very familiar with each other, I will introduce you to him when I arrive, and you are welcome to come in the future, and you will come directly to Beijing to find me." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Okay, thank you, Lord Dongfang."
"By the way, Lord Dongfang said just now that he had something to ask me, what kind of thing is it, I will try my best to help if I can help in the future." Master Xu said,
"Xia Guan came to your land, and heard in the market that there was an emperor in North Korea draft girls, Xia Guan was strange, because I knew that the emperor had been busy with something recently, and I didn't hear the news that he wanted to draft a girl, but when I came to your land, I heard that the emperor was going to draft a girl in North Korea, which made people panic, and Xia Guan was very surprised, so I came to ask if the adults knew about it." Zhu Houzhao said,
Zhu Houzhao saw that Lord Xu's face suddenly showed a worried look at this moment,
It took him a long time before he said: "My lords, I don't know about this matter, I didn't get the news that the emperor is going to draft from above, but I have also heard the folk sayings, this matter is indeed a little strange, but my lord does not know that our Korean country also has some strange things of its own, if you want to be safe, it is better to leave many things alone and not ask, I often feel very difficult." Lord Xu sighed,
"Oh, I seem to know a little clue, don't worry, I know, I'll go to Seoul to check, I won't bother adults, my lord will go to the Central Plains one day, I will treat adults well." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Well, Lord Dongfang can understand me, Xu is very grateful, if the adults are free tonight, how about inviting adults to dinner." Master Xu said,
"Okay, thank you very much, I can just chat with Lord Xu more, that's what I can't ask for." Zhu Houzhao said,
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Houzhao and Lord Xu had a deep conversation in the garden, they talked about the culture of the Central Plains, talked about Tang poetry and Song lyrics, talked about the Dragon Boat Festival of Qu Yuan, and talked about the customs and customs of various parts of North Korea.
"In fact, the relationship between our two countries is now the best period in history, it can be said that it is a golden age." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, with such a good relationship between the two countries, I really hope that it can be maintained forever and not cause chaos." Master Xu said,
"Well, yes, let's work together, as long as there are people like Xu who are really worried about the relationship between the two countries, I believe it will be good, anything is just a human heart, the heart of the heart is the key, Confucius said so much, the core is not a heart of mind, benevolence is to move people's hearts, righteousness is to win people's hearts, etiquette is to win people's hearts, wisdom is to win people's hearts, faith is to win people's hearts, in short, it is two words, people's hearts, so there is a couplet in the Xishu Wuhou Temple that says: "If you can attack the heart, you will eliminate yourself, since ancient times, you know that soldiers are not belligerent, If you don't judge the situation, you will be lenient and severe, and you will have to think twice about governing Shu later, and as long as the people of our two countries are there, the relationship between our two countries will always be good. Zhu Houzhao said,
At this time, Lord Xu looked at Zhu Houzhao, "Mr. Dongfang, you are not the leader of Jinyiwei. ”
Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, "How can I see that I am not like anything." ”
"Mr. Dongfang's words are not in the pool, and Mr. is by no means an ordinary brocade guard." Master Xu said,
"Haha, my lord is really good eyesight, I said it, in fact, the emperor and I have been friends since childhood, and he has quietly handed over everything to me, such as private visits, etc., by the way, don't tell anyone about this." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Well, my lord is really extraordinary, and Xu always feels extraordinary today." Master Xu said,
"Hehe, that's you and I have fate." Zhu Houzhao said,
At this moment, Zhu Hou looked at the white clouds in the sky in the distance, recalled the white clouds in Dongying not long ago, and then thought of the white clouds above the city of Beijing, he really felt a little dreamy.
If life is not so adrift, what is the meaning, but if life is always so adrift, what is the meaning, just along the way, there are friends and green mountains, there are white clouds and flowing water, it is still worth it,
At this time, the sound of Mingzi and a few of them chattering in the courtyard came, it must be Lord Xu's family who was telling them some interesting things and showing them some interesting things.
Zhu Houzhao felt happy, and saw the kind and wise eyes of Lord Xu, Zhu Houzhao really thought that he was a guest in Jiangnan or Huixiang, and the other party was a local Confucian, and he chatted with him about his home and country and the local customs.
It's just that the Korean dialect comes from time to time, and everything seems to return to reality.
That is, this is a stop in my wandering, not a harbor,
