Su Tiancheng's attitude not only angered Liu Yunqing and the other four sons of Donglin, but also Liu Ruyi, whose eyes also revealed worry and confusion.

"If Su Gongzi thinks that our understanding is wrong, please put forward a better suggestion, don't you look down on us, or say that you can't speak, and cover yourself up."

"Haha......"

Su Tiancheng raised his head and smiled.

"Liu Gongzi, Huang Gongzi, Yi Gongzi, Zou Gongzi, you claim to be the fourth prince of Donglin, you must be amazingly talented, I have a few words, I send you a few words, I hope you will also reflect on yourself more when discussing the government, of course, if you don't want to listen, I have no choice."

"There is a sentence, presumably you are aware of the Tao, the world is insightful and knowledgeable, the practice of human feelings and articles, all of us and other scholars, when I was young, I was high-spirited, inspired the words, pointed out the country, and left some of the so-called world affairs and human feelings behind, only to know that the Tao rushed forward, regardless of the rights and wrongs of the world, the impulse as courage, the straightforwardness as personality, thinking that the world is perfect, even the savior, one day into the worship will be the prime minister, will be able to revitalize the court, save the people in the fire and water."

"I don't know that all these thoughts will eventually become the laughing stock of others after dinner."

"The most terrible thing is that he indulges in it without knowing it, talks about the government and politics in a mediocre manner, still thinks he is clear, and blames those who are unwilling to go along with the readers, and the final result is that he has become the biggest junior."

Liu Yunqing and the others' faces changed, they couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng would say this.

"Y-Why do you say that about us?"

"Hehe, you're not convinced, didn't you just bring up the three major drawbacks of the court, put aside these big things, I'll ask you a few trivial things, see if you have any good solutions, if you can say a good solution, I will bow down."

"Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places have suffered disasters and famines, and farmers lack food and clothing, sell their children and daughters, and cannot live.

"The court should take out the silver and provide disaster relief."

"That's right, what if the court doesn't have silver?"

"This, how can the imperial court not have silver?"

"Liu Gongzi, how light you said, then let me ask you, you are a student, a scholar, have you ever paid the imperial court a penny of silver in taxes, have you ever donated silver taels for the imperial court or the people of Limin, you and other Donglin Academy scholars, blindly safeguard the rights and interests of the bureaucrats and gentry, self-denial, in accordance with the rule of law of the ancestors, where did the imperial court get the silver."

Liu Yunqing was stunned and speechless.

Su Tiancheng will not stop.

"I'll ask you again, what do you think you should do when Houjin invades and the rogues make trouble?"

"Of course, send a large army to exterminate it."

"Hehe, that's right, didn't you just say it, the imperial court levies Liao, is Lord Shangshu Bi of the household department the biggest traitor, will the Ming Dynasty fall to the country, this campaign is for silver, then what do you mean, Ming soldiers, with a lot of blood, don't eat or drink, to exterminate the Liukou, to fight against Houjin, how good is such a reputation."

Liu Yunqing and the others blushed, and Yi Ligao, who had not spoken, opened his mouth to speak.

"Master Su, don't be confused, I'm talking about the major affairs of the imperial court, but I just put forward suggestions, only if we do these big things well, the rest of the things will naturally have no problem."

Su Tiancheng couldn't help it.

"A bunch of nonsense, just with your understanding, if you enter the court, bring disaster to the country and the people, think that your understanding is superb, think that you are noble, and when you do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing, you are so righteous and arrogant. You are scholars, and you can't understand the truth that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, if you don't do small things, you won't do big things, and you still need to talk about what government and politics. ”

In the private room, it was quiet for a while, Liu Yunqing and the others probably had not been accused like this, and they were a little uncomfortable, Liu Ru looked at Su Tiancheng with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was seriously thinking about what Su Tiancheng said.

Two minutes later, Zou Pingzhang stood up, ready to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Su Tiancheng smiled, it seems that the so-called four sons of Donglin are still not convinced.

"I said a lot of big truths earlier, but you must be unconvinced, okay, I'll ask the simplest question and ask the four sons to answer."

"Let's talk about this homeless thing, if you see a peasant who has nothing to eat, dying, what will you do?"

Zou Pingzhang looked at Su Tiancheng and spoke without hesitation.

"Do your best, undress and eat."

"Very good, what should you do when you meet ten people?"

"Take care of it with all your might."

"What should you do when you see hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands?"

Zou Pingzhang looked at Su Tiancheng and didn't know what to say.

Yi Ligao stood up, a little unconvinced.

"Su Gongzi asked us like this, I don't know what kind of way you can do it."

"I'm very strange, you are all readers, such a simple thing, isn't it clear, there is a sentence in the middle of "Lao Tzu", it is better to teach people to fish, it is better to teach them to fish, if you use this truth to answer, I will think, you are good at thinking, can find a solution to the problem, unfortunately, all you think of are big things, as for such small things, I don't bother to think, okay, I don't have any problems."

After saying these words, Su Tiancheng was ready to leave the private room, talking with these scholars here was meaningless, and it was a waste of time.

"Su Gongzi is slow, I'm clumsy, I've never seen Su Gongzi, I don't know if Su Gongzi can tell me the origin."

After this debate, Liu Yunqing and the others lost face, they were naturally a little unconvinced, originally thought that Su Gongzi was just an ordinary scholar, but at this moment they realized that people have a background, and the words they say are not what ordinary people can express.

"I am Su Tiancheng, the word Kunyuan, the magistrate of Jiangning County, if the four sons are not convinced, he will have a chance one day, and we can debate again."

Liu Yunqing and the others seemed to have a spring installed on their buttocks, and they all stood up at once.

"Mo Fei, Mo Fei is the Shanxi Township Test Xie Yuan, the Hui Yuan Examination, and the Su Bachelor who is the eye of the palace examination ......"

"I don't dare to be called a bachelor, I'm just an ordinary court official, I talked with a few sons today, and I benefited a lot, but I can only focus on small things and do some small things."

"Master Su's teachings, we have kept it in mind, Master Su's generations of talented people, each leading the way for hundreds of years, is our motto, just now we were arrogant, Lord Su don't mind."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Before and after the respect, not the demeanor of our scholars, you talk about the government, express the feelings in your heart, understandable, I am by no means the kind of person with a good face, what to say, although to say bluntly, we can sit down and argue, and even quarrel, just now I was a little wrong, the drum does not need a hammer, I also think, you are talented and learned, it is best to be able to calm down, put aside the so-called Qinggao, really study, do things in a down-to-earth manner, I once had another poem on the Taihe Palace, A lily, a hat, a flat boat, a silk silk, a hook, a song, a bottle of wine, a person fishing alone in the autumn. If you can taste the meaning, you will understand my painstaking efforts today. ”

Liu Ru was stunned for a long time, she didn't expect that Su Tiancheng turned out to be the magistrate of Jiangning County, that is to say, Su Tiancheng was in Nanjing City all the time, not after the palace test, he patrolled everywhere.

In today's debate, Su Tiancheng has always stood on the initiative and stood at a certain height, as if he was teaching students, where can ordinary people show such a bearing.

Seeing Su Tiancheng standing up and preparing to leave, Liu Ru ignored the fourth son of Donglin, stood beside Su Tiancheng, and took Su Tiancheng's arm.

At this time, the fourth son of Donglin was already a deflated ball.

No matter how arrogant they are, they don't dare to be arrogant in front of Su Tiancheng, who will take the test and the palace test, and even the emperor appreciates people's knowledge, and their other gentleman, Mr. Qian Qianyi, is also very respectful of Su Tiancheng's poems, saying that they can't write such poems, what else can they do.

Besides, Su Tiancheng's words just now, although they were very intense, but they were also the actual situation, they didn't know the things in the imperial court, and they were not familiar with the life of the peasants, but when they were in class at Donglin Academy, they heard the teacher's teaching, and they discussed with their classmates.

Their discussion has never been in-depth, to put it mildly, that is, it is not combined with reality, air-to-air, and they complained, mainly concerned about the affairs of the wind and snow, and when they met the real court officials, they were only obedient and obedient.

Liu Yunqing is the oldest of the four, he is already twenty-five years old, after all, he has more knowledge, and he also understands what Su Tiancheng means.

"Lord Su's words today have been taught in the following, if you have the opportunity, I implore you to go to the academy, I will admire the literary talents of the adults and listen to the teachings of the adults again."

Su Tiancheng nodded slightly, it seems that the fourth son of Donglin is young in the end, and he has not yet reached the level of stubbornness, and he came to Jiangning County to recruit some talents, and scholars are the mainstay, which is a fact that cannot be denied.

"Today's debate is very interesting, if I have the opportunity, I will discuss it with you again, but I also have a request, the practice of not listening to things outside the window, and only reading the books of the sages is still a bit biased, you had better understand the actual situation, you might as well experience it yourself, I am also from here, step by step, I have traveled several times, and I have benefited a lot, after experiencing these, I believe you can put forward more insights."
