The so-called Chongguo Temple, if you really go around all the temples in the city, you will never be able to find such a name from the vast plaques. Because Chongguo Temple is the name of the Yuan Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty, first changed its name to Longshan Temple during the Xuande period, and then to Chenghua and added the word "Protector of the Country", and there are even two Dharma kings from Tibet who practiced here during the Zhengde period, and it has always been the first temple in Beijing. But the majestic name of Dalong Good Huguo Temple, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven rarely hang it in their mouths, and it has always been called the original Chongguo Temple.

And Wang Fulin has been in the capital for so long, but he has little interest in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, or he is too busy as an official, and he can't wait to rest on a rare day, and sometimes there are all kinds of invitations, so it is the first time to come here. If he hadn't known that Xie Tingjie was a disciple of the Wang Taizhou School and not a good Zen person, he even thought in his heart whether this senior, who used to be a teacher, wanted to use this place to enlighten him, such as warning him not to be so good at causing trouble.

Since it is a temple with a royal plaque, and the word "protecting the country" is added, the incense in Chongguo Temple is naturally very vigorous, and several incense halls are full of people. Fortunately, the place where Wang Fulin and Xie Tingjie met was not in this kind of place where people came and went and were all pilgrims, but in the Young Master Yao Shadow Hall at the back.

At that time, the Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao was once ordered by Zhu Di to enjoy the Taimiao, but after nearly a hundred years, he was admonished by an official who was full of food and supported the etiquette as a guise in the seventh year of Jiajing, and finally moved out of the Taimiao, first placed in Daxinglong Temple, and then moved here because the unlucky temple suffered a fire. Because it is a royal incense, idlers will naturally be turned away.

Of course, most good men and women are not interested in the Daoyan monk who once helped Grandpa Cheng take away his nephew's country.

But Wang Fulin was very interested. In his mind, Monk Daoyan is a legendary figure, far more interesting than those civil officials who keep talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but pursue trivial matters. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is a murderous tyrant, but even if Emperor Jianwen is orthodox, he is not a good bird, if Zhu Di does not rebel at that time, he will be replaced by this Yan King himself dead, so of course he will not think about any justice or injustice, but purely sigh about the legend of Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.

Although he was dressed in casual clothes on this day, he looked like a scholar, and with kind words and kind words, he said a few words to the monk in charge of the incense, and offered a few taels of silver and incense money, and he smoothly stepped into this theater, which seemed extremely quiet compared to the outside. It was about him who came early, and Xie Tingjie was not seen in the shadow hall, only a portrait in the center, a god. In the portrait, Yao Guangxiao is bald and wearing a robe, sitting cross-legged, a monk dressed up, not vulgar at all, and the god is inscribed with the title of Push Loyalty to the Country, Conspiracy Xuanli Wenchen, Special Doctor Ronglu, Shangzhu Country, Rongguo Gong Yao Guangxiao.

Standing silently for a moment, Wang Fulin asked the monk of Si Xiang for incense, and took a stick of incense and bowed silently, but he thought in his heart, this legendary monk became the host of Qingshou Temple when he became a monk, but he was still full of power and scheming, so he assisted Zhu Di to seize the world, and then although he was forced to return to the vulgar, he successively became the teacher of the prince and the grandson, but he did not marry a wife, did not give birth to children, and all the high-ranking officials of the title ended up with him. From this point of view, there have been so many military advisors throughout the ages, but it is really rare to see someone like this old monk.

"I didn't expect that you would have respect for this Rongguo Gong, you know, he deserved to enjoy the Taimiao at the beginning, and I don't know how many scholars gritted their teeth."

Wang Fulin looked back and saw Xie Tingjie, dressed in blue silk, walking into the room.

He still remembers that when he encountered a crisis of fame and fame, when he first met this great master of learning in the Minglun Hall of Shexian School Palace, the other party had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a few long beards on his chin, and he looked like a kind uncle next door, but when he was really angry, he was ruthless. Later, he experienced a series of other things such as scientific expeditions, although he could not claim to be Xie Tingjie's protégé, but he always felt that this was more cordial than his titular master Lu Tiaoyang. You must know that in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Tiaoyang didn't see their protégés at all!

But now after many years, the uncle next door looks a bit like the uncle next door, obviously the career has not been smooth in these years, so the years are urging people to grow old.

"Mr. Xie, it's been a long time."

Hearing such a salutation, and seeing Wang Fu Lin saluting again, Xie Tingjie immediately stepped forward with a smile and helped him up. When he stood side by side, he glanced at the portrait of Yao Guangxiao, but he did not continue the topic just now, but said in a low voice: "Now that Yuanfu has returned to his hometown to bury his father, such as Yuyao Sun's scholarly family, either as a foreign official, or simply return to his hometown, the batch of Hanlin Academy last year, except for Shen Maoxue and Feng Mengzhen, successively reported three illnesses, plus Kedao, six departments, although in the past two hundred years of the dynasty, it is not that there have been many cases of officials complaining of illness or Zhishi, but which time is different from this time. ”

Wang Fulin originally thought that Xie Tingjie invited him to vaguely say that his career was not smooth, but when he heard Xie Tingjie say this at the beginning, he became vigilant. However, what made him even more unexpected was that after Xie Tingjie mentioned the situation of the separation of people in the DPRK and China, he suddenly changed his words and said: "I heard that Mr. Longxi and He Fushan have seen you in Guangzhou Lianxi Academy before. ”

Although it is not a secret that he has seen Wang Ji, He Xinyin actually accompanied Wang Ji to Guangzhou quietly, which should only be known to those who know He Xinyin, and as for his relationship with these two, then even fewer people should know, so Wang Fulin couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then nodded and said: "I am also half of Mr. Fushan's student." ”

Before Xie Tingjie went to Beijing, he had gone to see Wang Ji on purpose, and when he saw Wang Fulin admitting it frankly, he nodded and said: "He Fushan has always been deviant, even if Hu Meilin used him back then, he couldn't really believe him, so he didn't stay in Hu Meilin's shogunate for too long, and I didn't have much personal relationship with him, but I can't be wrong to think about him to see people." Mr. Longxi learned that because of Yuanfu's seizure of love, you even fell out with your uncle Wang Nanming, and said to me in private, it must be your uncle and nephew who saw that they couldn't do anything, so they made this decision, otherwise, you wouldn't have written on the road to save it, but you didn't write it. ”

Mr. Longxi, you have such a rich imagination...... But how can you guess that you are not far from ten?

Wang Fulin thought to himself and Wang Daokun turned against each other twice, the first time was just to move out of Wang's mansion after a quarrel, but the second time he was so angry that Wang Daokun resigned directly after being slapped in the face, which was placed in the capital, except for people like Xu Guo who was born in She County and knew a lot about the affairs of the Wang family, others would not think about the possibility of false rebellion at all, after all, at the beginning of the rebellion, Zhang Juzheng's old father was still alive and well!

But across most of the country, Wang Ji guessed so, and said to Xie Tingjie with a big mouth, this is simply fatal! So, he could only snort, pretending to be indifferent and said: "Mr. Longxi really dares to guess, and Mr. Xie dares to say it." ”

Xie Tingjie saw that Wang Fulin didn't want to talk about this matter more, when he first heard Wang Ji's judgment, he was just skeptical, but at this moment he wanted to believe it, or rather, he had to believe it. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Qingliu gentlemen are mostly disheartened because of what happened to Zhao Yongxian, Wu Zhongxing and others, plus Zou Yuanbiao was caned by the court, some choose to hang up their crowns and leave, and some choose to return to their hometowns. ”

At this moment, Wang Fulin finally couldn't maintain a calm face anymore, after all, Xie Tingjie's words were too naked. There was only one entrance and exit to this theater, so he arrived at the door first, but saw a person like Xie Tingjie's scholar sitting on the steps, and the previous monk Si Xiang didn't know where to go. And he came back with a gloomy face, but his eyes swept around the entire theater, and then he said coldly: "Teacher Xie, you should know that this is the most rampant place in the Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

"You shouldn't come to Chongguo Temple very often, so you shouldn't know that Young Master Yao's Shadow Hall has always been a forbidden place for factory guards. This is a customary rule, besides, I'm just a small Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, you and I are here to catch up, why should the factory guard keep an eye on? ”

Xie Tingjie said this, it can be seen that Wang Fulin's face did not relax at all, he thought of the days when he returned to Beijing and heard the turbulent waves that Wang Fulin had set off in Beijing in the past year, and roughly understood the other party's worries, so he said bluntly, "I just want to say that you stayed in the capital, just to prevent Zhang Siwei, who has a grudge against you and Wang Nanming, and in addition, he also feels the grace of Yuanfu's knowledge, and he also wants to do something with his own strength." But have you ever thought about it, the people who are unwilling to be with Yuanfu are gone, and the rest are either people who are willing to run away with the flames, or they will not offend people with the same dust as the light, and then there are those who are Yang Fengyin and waiting for the opportunity to stab the knife, once Yuanfu has any mistakes, or the emperor is no longer so trusting and respectful as he is now, do you think that there will be someone in the Manchu Dynasty who will say a fair word for Yuanfu? Where do you go from here? ”

These last two consecutive questions simply hit Wang Fulin's seven inches. He had to admit that he was not the only smart person in these years, there were many smart people in the opposition, especially these Wang Xuemen, who had not only played philosophy out of the flower, deviant and intolerable to the world.

Therefore, he simply begged for teaching: "Then Teacher Xie invited me today, what can you teach me?" ”

Anyway, it doesn't look like I'm looking for myself to talk about old feelings and talk about heart and mind!

"Mr. Longxi and Mr. Jinxi (Luo Rufang) met at the end of the year, and they both felt that even if the decrees implemented by Yuanfu were indeed desirable, they were too strict, and if they passed the law, they blindly used taxes to force the magistrates, wouldn't this make them urge the people again? And now that he has gone through the turmoil of seizing love, Yuanfu is only afraid that he will be more anxious for quick success in the future, and all the righteous people and gentlemen of the Manchu Dynasty are asking to go, which is really not a good thing. Therefore, when I entered Beijing this time, I knew that I could not do anything else, but I only hoped that I could protect some true gentlemen who were honest and upright, one was to avoid Yuan Fu's excessive actions, and the other was that if there was an incident in the future, I could also let these gentlemen pour a basin of cold water on the current situation at an appropriate time. ”

Wang Fulin still remembered last time that Wang Ji said to himself that the various factions of Xinxue are a group of people who are about to quarrel when they get together, and it is impossible to twist them into a rope, but now Xie Tingjie came to tell him that he came to Beijing to be this Guanglu Shaoqing in order to make friends with gentlemen to protect Qingliu, and he couldn't help but have a feeling of irony.

"Teacher Xie, do you know that last year's champion Shen Jundian and I were friends of life and death?"

Seeing that Xie Tingjie didn't know what he meant, he said that he parted ways with Shen Maoxue Feng Mengzhen, and seeing that Xie Tingjie's face gradually sank, he said lightly: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, I think, Mr. Xie, the objects you want to protect are wrong." Those gentlemen who insist on reputation and ideas have always been the most difficult people to be convinced, and when the time comes, you will not only touch the ashes, but you may also be regarded as unprincipled. And they are suppressed now, will they be sparing people when they gain power in the future?

You only see that the Kedao Yanguan is now suppressed by Yuanfu, but don't you see that those Kedao Yanguan before were so noisy that many good government decrees were almost impossible to implement? Sometimes, whether it is the cabinet or the six ministries, they are all coerced by these people, and no one can stand it! If you really want to preserve your vitality and affect the current situation at a critical moment in the future, you shouldn't look for me, and you shouldn't fight the idea of a clear gentleman, you have to find another group of people. ”

"For example?"

"For example, like the old Shen Pavilion who has just entered the cabinet, like the Bachelor Xu of the Hanlin Academy. They are tactful, but they are more able to be forbearant and see things more deeply. And at the critical moment, they stand in a high position and have the corresponding right to speak. As for gentlemen, they will not appreciate your kindness, nor will they accept your opinions, let alone receive your affection, but will only think that you are completely unnecessary and muddy. Moreover, Mr. Xie, you think too highly of me, you know, in the eyes of most Qingliu gentlemen, they are eager to step on me with 10,000 feet, and you expect me to defend these people? Mr. Xie, you have found the wrong person. ”

I don't have a good impression of most of the gentlemen!

In the conversation in Young Master Yao's shadow hall, except for Wang Fulin and Xie Tingjie himself, as well as the little scholar who was sitting with his back to each other in front of the door and looked stupid, no one else knew. Xie Tingjie's face was not very good-looking when he left, obviously he didn't expect Wang Fulin to speak so sharply, which completely destroyed most of his enthusiasm. And when Wang Fulin left this theater where he enjoyed the incense of the imperial court, he also felt a little funny, thinking that Wang Ji's uninhibited temperament should not be able to do such a strong thing with a strong sense of science, it is estimated that it was Xie Tingjie's own idea.

Thinking that when he saw off Xie Tingjie at the beginning, he once relayed it because of urine, and Qiu Feng relayed it, and regarded the two sentences of his own poems as talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, he couldn't help but touch his chin.

I have to say that this Grandmaster Xie is really a bit like the skin of the mind and the bone of science.

However, when Wang Fulin came out directly from the back door of Chongguo Temple, he saw a carriage coming slowly, and Liu Bo was sitting in the driver's seat. As for where this car came from, he was completely confused when he came on horseback today. But Liu Bo made his eyes and moved his jaw to let him get into the car, but he understood, so no matter how confused, he finally got into the car.

But when he got acquainted with the dim light in the car and saw the person on the other side clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't that what he is in? Could it be that Xie Tingjie can't do it, so what heart will be hidden?
