(1st Update)

Jinling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the morning, Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion together. There is a lamp tree in front of the house, and many colorful lanterns are hung on the tree, which reflects the flowers and birds on the lamp vividly. It's just that at this time, the lanterns are not as bright as at night, and they seem weak. The morning breeze was blowing, a little cold, stabbing on the face that had not slept all night, and it hurt a little.

Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao did not feel tired, not even cold, at this time there was a fire burning in their bodies. In the face of this fire, the tiredness and coldness are really insignificant.

"The spring breeze is proud." Lu Jiang laughed at himself, this situation should be a horse galloping, but unfortunately, they don't have horses. The two people who did not have horses could naturally only leave the Prime Minister's Mansion on foot. After a night of hustle and bustle, the streets were sparsely populated and deserted.

At the corner of the street and alley, there was a strong man who leaned against the wall and vomited, and his mighty body turned into shrimp. There are also scholars who sit on the cold street, looking like scoundrels, slurring their speech but scolding the government in a loud voice, scolding and scolding and crying.

Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao walked briskly, but they didn't ignore what was happening beside them, and Kuai Ao stopped his footsteps first.

The companion stopped, and Lu Jiang naturally had to stop.

Kuai Ao looked at the scholar who was crying bitterly, "Maybe we should go and help him." ”

Lu Jiang nodded, "It's true that you should help him shut up, and then let him scold like this, even if the prime minister's people don't do it, they will do it." ”

Kuai Ao glanced at Lu Jiang, "You know I didn't mean that." ”

Lu Jiang still nodded, "I know what you mean." ”

Kuai Ao said: "Then what do you mean by saying that?" ”

Lu Jiang also looked at Kuai Ao, "Don't you understand what I mean?" ”

Kuai Ao said: "Maybe I don't know enough thoroughly. ”

Lu Jiang retracted his gaze, and his tone suddenly became a little heavy, "Maybe I can't understand it thoroughly." ”

Kuai Ao said: "Why don't you tell me to hear it?" ”

Lu Jiang's gaze fell on the scholar, there was no sympathy or compassion. In his opinion, the other party is just an unambitious loser, he failed, either because he had no talent or no luck, and people who didn't have these two things couldn't get ahead in the world of great contention, so Lu Jiang didn't have any feelings for him.

But Lu Jiang's gaze always stayed on the scholar and did not move away.

This scholar seemed to remind him of something. Or maybe he was reminding him of something with the help of this scholar.

Lu Jiang slowly spoke, "You know a little bit about my temperament, I am reckless and willful, I act recklessly, I refuse to follow the rules, and I don't want to do what is in the eyes of ordinary people. ”

Kuai Ao: "Since you have always admired the style of Wei and Jin, you naturally will not work hard. ”

Lu Jiang shook his head slightly, his expression was complicated, "You should also know that those so-called practical things are just trivial things, and immersing yourself in this kind of thing will not do you any benefit except for the waste of ambition." Ordinary people can dedicate themselves to small things, and they have to look up desperately when they see the county order, but I can't. ”

Kuai Ao said: "Because you don't want to be an ordinary person, you don't want to look at the county order, you have to look up." ”

"Of course! Those who achieve great things are not ordinary people! Lu Jiang's tone was a little heavier, "I only read a little bit of the main idea, because biting and chewing words is done by scribes, and I don't disdain to be a scribe." If you want to study the disadvantages of the times and apply them to the world, you can't make a book bag! In the world of great contention, through the game corner, the art of war, know the pros and cons of the world, in order to make a difference! ”

Kuai Ao said: "If you don't make a book bag, you will learn nothing, and it will not be tolerated by the world. ”

Lu Jiang waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Studying for the sake of being a county official is not ashamed!" ”

Kuai Ao sneered: "If you don't be a county official, you have no way to make a living, and you like wine and meat, and you can only be willful, so you can only do those side ways." ”

Lu Jiang had no shame on his face, "The eldest husband was born in the world, if he can't be willful, uninhibited and happy, how is it different from grass, trees, birds and beasts?" Since Ren Xia is capricious, why stick to secular etiquette? ”

Kuai Ao fell silent.

Lu Jiang also fell silent.

Half a sound, Kuai Ao suddenly sighed. After another moment, Fang said: "If you want to cry, you can go and sit next to the scholar, there should be a small half pot of wine in his wine jug." ”

As soon as his words fell, Lu Jiang really walked over and strode forward. He sat down next to the sobpy, chattering scholar with his head down, grabbed the flask with cheap liquor in it, and poured it with his neck tilted.

Kuai Ao also came over and sat down beside Lu Jiang.

The scholar glanced at the two of them drunken and ignored them.

Lu Jiang drank the wine, but did not cry.

He looked up at the sky, did not let the tears take away his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "A few years ago, a certain went to Luoyang, did not win the jinshi, and became a Jizhou return transport officer, because he did not like complicated affairs, he stole the treasury and left, on the way back to his hometown, he was valued by people, gave a certain money, did not arrive at home, and because of gambling and drinking, he was exhausted, and when he arrived at home, his mother and brothers all despised Yu, and then entered the White Deer Cave Academy, and he was not more accustomed to it, buried in the classics, and now, he is nearly thirty years old, and he has achieved nothing. ”

Kuai Ao looked at the streets and alleys, "Although it has never been successful, but every day drinking and having fun, willful, unrestrained, shouldn't you also be happy?" ”

"Happy?" Lu Jiang's voice mocked, he was not mocking others, he was mocking himself, "Maybe he was really happy." ”

Kuai Ao said again: "If you are really happy, why come to Jinling? ”

Lu Jiang drank the liquor in the pot in one go, and threw the wine jug out fiercely, "In life, how can you get rid of the way of humanity?" Brothers and parents, despise you because you do nothing, praise because you do something, even if you don't care about what others say, you can't get rid of the shackles of supporting your parents and passing on your ancestry. Willful? How many people in the world are really happy about this? ”

Kuai Ao's gaze didn't know where to fall, "Ren Xia's willfulness is just a gesture, but no matter what kind of attitude a person lives in, he must eventually make contributions and fulfill his life's ambitions." Thirty and nothing, who can not be miserable? Who can not hate themselves? The more ruthless the drinking game, the deeper the cover-up. But people who are really ambitious, no matter how much they drink, they can't numb themselves. ”

Lu Jiang stood up and straightened his robe, "That's why I'm here in Jinling." ”

Kuai Ao also stood up, "Since you are here, there is no way out." ”

Lu Jiang said: "There is no regret in dying." ”

Kuai Ao said: "Because nothing can be accomplished, it is more painful than death." ”

Lu Jiang smiled, "Then what are we waiting for?" ”

Kuai Ao also smiled: "Don't wait, let's go." ”

The two strode out of the alley.

The drunken scholar watched the two leave, drifting apart, and there was no color in his cloudy eyes. He bent over and fumbled for a long time, but he couldn't touch his flask. He felt a little tired, and sleepiness came like a tidal wave. He wanted to find a place to sleep, preferably with a bed. But it immediately occurred to him that he could not find such a place in Jinling, because he had neither a home nor any money in Jinling. So in the end he could only curl up on the corner of the street, and sleep on the cold mud floor with his arms folded.

He has a heart that flows with blood.

But now, this heart is gradually cooling in the cold streets.

In the dream, a man who looked like a small merchant came to him, with contempt in his eyes, looking at him condescendingly. After a long time, the little merchant kicked him and asked him if he would settle the account, and if he could, he would reward him with a bowl of rice to eat. With great difficulty, he got up and followed the little merchant. Since then, he has endured the yelling of the small merchant Jia at him every day. Gradually, his back got lower and lower, and his waist became more and more bent. In the end, it's no different from a dog.

Thankfully, a dog with an owner doesn't have to sleep on the streets.

......

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. It can be seen that in the eyes of heaven and earth, there is no difference between humans and dogs. The same creature who is looking for a bowl of rice to eat in this world, why are people different from dogs, more noble than dogs? ”

Faced with such a question, Li Congjing did not answer immediately.

The person who asked this question didn't seem to expect him to answer.

The sun of Songshan, Fengtian Palace.

The person who asked Li Congjing this was a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest with white hair and fairy wind bones.

"A man is stronger than a dog." Li Congjing said.

"Where's the strength?" The Taoist priest asked, "Is it because people have knives in their hands, or because people's heads are easier to wield?" ”

Li Congjing stood up to leave.

He came to Songshan to visit hermits and celebrities, not to discuss with Taoist priests.

Shi Xubai and Han Xizai have both stayed in Songshan, so in addition to Taoism, Songshan also has a library.

Songyang Academy, itself is also one of the four major academies in ancient China, but the Songyang Scholar House in front of it does not have the initial scale of Bailudong Academy, nor does it have everyone like Yang Wei and Qi Tongwen in Suiyang Academy.

When the Taoist priest sent Li Congjing away, he said kindly: "People are humane, dogs are in the way of dogs, people are humane to humane, and dogs are to dogs, no different from dogs." All living beings in the world have their own place of survival and their own way of survival. Creatures come into the world, from birth to death, in the final analysis, isn't it just for survival and food? Billions of living beings, born and destroyed, come from the place of return, go to the place of return, and that's it. ”

Li Congjing did not answer, said goodbye and left.

He originally thought about whether Luoyang Academy should set up two subjects, Buddhism and Taoism, but now he felt that it was unnecessary. Luoyang College is a place to cultivate talents from the world, while Buddhism and Taoism are born knowledge, which is contradictory.

Stop-and-go, Li Congjing has visited celebrities all these days, and now the trip has reached the end, and it is time to return to Luoyang.

It was not without harvest in Songshan, Li Congjing took two people, one named Jiang Wenwei and the other named Zhang Yi.

Neither of them is a celebrity, but a young scholar.

All the famous ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

......

The prince's visit to the priests spread all over the world.

Soon after Li Congjing returned to Luoyang, the spring curtain was opened, and the imperial court set up more than 50 subjects such as Ming Jing, Jinshi, Ming Law, and Ming Calculation, and hundreds of scholars.

On the occasion of the spring curtain, Luoyang College was established, and Shilin was shaken.

When the princes heard this, they all changed color, and then, the world was shaken.

In the spring of the second year of Changxing, scholars from all over the world, whether they were celebrities and hermits, or students from states and counties, all rushed to enter Luoyang.

This dynasty has been in the south since the Anshi Rebellion, and it has come to an end.
