In the small courtyard, although many scholars degraded Lu An to worthless, the three core figures in this small courtyard did not judge with everyone, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sima Hui himself were silent, as if they were thinking about something. "Teacher, Kong Ming Shiyuan, why don't you speak? Is there a mistake in what we say? At this time, a scholar in the courtyard noticed the abnormality of the three people, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Yes! Teacher, there are no outsiders here anyway, so let's talk about Lu Xuantong! Someone took the lead, and the scholars on the side all paid attention to Sima Hui and the others, wanting them to also express their opinions.

In addition to the scholars, Shan Fu also looked at the past with a bit of expectation in his eyes, he wanted to know what the opinions of these three top wise men in the world were, and whether they were still prejudiced against General Lu like these scholars?

Seeing that the eyes of all the students looked over, Sima Hui didn't shirk it, but just sighed lightly: "To tell the truth, Lu Xuantong is this person, I can't see through him, but if you only one-sidedly say that he is like a poisonous insect and a beast, I am afraid it will be very unfair!" ”

"What does that mean?" If others said this, these scholars would probably immediately start a war of words, but from the mouth of their mentor Sima Hui, everyone did not dare to make a mistake, but instead sat upright and asked.

"Of course, Lu Xuantong was born in a poor family, but he killed out of thin air with his own strength, and has established a great foundation in Yangzhou and Jingnan in just eight years, such a person, it is really a peerless hero, and the new policy he exacted, although the world is shocking and vulgar is not tolerated by the world's families, but in fact, there are many merits, it is rumored that under his new political theory, the people of Jiangdong are all rich in food and clothing, and even many people have set up a shrine for it, calling Lu Xuantong the reincarnation of the sage, and its cohesion can be seen." Sima Hui shook his head and said. With his talent and knowledge, he naturally will not look at things from a one-sided perspective like the disciples under his command.

"Does this statement mean that you agree with Shan Fu's statement very much, and think that Lu Xuantong is the first-class benevolent and righteous lord in the world?" Sima Hui's statement made all the scholars look at each other a little, and felt that it was really unacceptable, and it took a long time for a scholar to ask unwillingly.

"That's not the case, everything has two sides, Lu Xuantong opened a new deal, benefiting some people, yes, but relatively suppressed those families to the limit, for his own new policy he did not hesitate to use military power to oppress people, for no reason to seek people and property, and even raiding the house is commonplace, from this point of view, he has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, in the final analysis, it depends on what you think in your hearts, you think he is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, then he is, you think he is a poisonous insect and beast, that is actually right!" Sima Hui smiled.

"The students are taught!" Although Sima Hui's words were misty and incomprehensible to everyone, the scholars still bowed respectfully.

Seeing the confusion in the students' hearts, Sima Hui didn't explain much, just smiled freely. Life is full of mood, he has been hiding from the world all the year round, so his mood can be calm and unwavering, beyond ordinary people, but these students are hot-blooded young and full of ambition, which is naturally incomprehensible.

"Kong Ming Shiyuan, it's time for you to talk about it!" At this time, everyone looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong again, obviously wanting to know their answers.

"Lu Xuantong is famous in martial arts, political strategy is also through, and he has always been eclectic in employing people, only talents, and what is even more rare is that he can also accept advice and follow the stream, and be good at listening to advice, as the teacher said, he is an immortal hero, but the existence of this person is harmful to my Han, if he gains power, it will subvert the whole world, I really don't like it!" Seeing that all the senior brothers looked at him, Zhuge Liang was not good at being clear again, so he said softly.

"I'm afraid what Kong Ming said is too much, General Lu is recognized in the world as a loyal and martyr of the Han Dynasty, and he only has merit and no crime for the Han Dynasty, how can it be harmful to the Han Dynasty?" Originally, Shan Fu was quite happy to hear Zhuge Liang's first half of the sentence, but when Zhuge Liang finished the second half of the sentence, Shan Fu's face changed, and he couldn't help but say.

"Senior Brother Shan, don't worry, what Lu Xuantong is doing now is indeed a loyal and righteous style, but looking at what he did, privately robbing the family's land and distributing it to the field, although it is benevolent and righteous, but it is completely out of line with etiquette and law, and he forcibly dismissed the family members of those families, advocating that all living beings have up and down but no nobles and lows, and even more so, he built Changhe Academy, wanting to open up the wisdom of the people in the world, no matter which aspect, in the end, I am afraid that it will subvert the entire Han Dynasty."

When Zhuge Liang said this, he also had a little emotion in his heart, he admired Lu Xuantong's own ability, if this person can act according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, he is the best candidate for the master in his heart, but the other party deviates from the scriptures, and always engages in some tricks that no one has heard of, which really makes him not feel good.

"It turns out that this is what Kong Ming thinks!" Shan Fu sighed lightly, but in his heart he had some understanding of what Sima Hui said before, whether he knew the master or not, it all depended on everyone's own judgment, and Zhuge Liang, who was as wise as this Wolong, felt that General Lu was a disaster for the country, and it was naturally not surprising that others had many complaints about General Lu. Shan Fu thought about it, his eyes swept over the scholars in the courtyard, and his expression became firm again: "No matter what you say, in my heart, General Lu is a person in the world who really thinks about the poor people, such a benevolent and righteous person comparable to the ancient sages, and he will definitely contribute to him in the future." ”

At this time, only Pang Tongyi did not comment in the entire courtyard, so everyone looked at it again, but got a very unexpected answer.

Pang Tong said eloquently: "I don't think as much as you think, I only have one thought in my heart, that is, daggers also need a tough whetstone, Lu Xuantong is a very powerful opponent, as long as I stand on the opposite side of him, then I will definitely be able to polish myself sharper!" ”

Well, this answer is very practical, but it is also very classic, but everyone finally learned that Pang Tong was also ready to completely embark on the road of hostility with the Jiangdong Army.

"Okay, this matter is over, it is not appropriate to talk about one side of the princes like this in our capacity, let's talk about studies after all!" Seeing that everyone seemed to want to blacken Lu An, Sima Hui, as the patriarch, immediately stopped the topic.

Time gradually passed, the sky in Jiangdong finally snowed, has entered the deep winter, this time is already January, close to the end of the year, maybe everyone wants to hurry up to buy some New Year's goods, the streets of Nanjing City seem to be more lively than before.

On the left and right sides of the street, there is a constant sound of selling, and the things for sale are also varied, such as wheat, beast meat, fur or some snacks, etc., rendering the huge Nanjing city very prosperous.

On the edge of the street in the east of the city, Sun Shangxiang walked forward with his head bowed on tiptoe, obviously absent-minded.

In fact, Sun Shangxiang did have great troubles in her heart at this time, which made her unhappy for the past few days.

This trouble comes from her eldest brother Sun Ce, to be precise, her eldest brother Sun Ce is in a bad mood because someone has been in a bad mood recently, so he doesn't even feel good with her.

And the reason why his eldest brother is in a bad mood is also very simple, Zhou Yu is entrusted with a heavy task by Lu An and is in a high position, so people often visit Zhou's mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an endless carriage and horse, which leads to a little less contact between Zhou and Sun because of time, although Sun Ce's personality has always been atmospheric and doesn't care about that, but when he thinks about it, Fa Xiao is now starting his own work again, and the Sun family is still cold, and some discomfort is inevitable.

"Damn Lu Xuantong, giving Brother Gongjin such a high position, but ignoring the eldest brother, he must have done it on purpose, this hateful bastard." Sun Shangxiang scolded someone with words in her mouth, but when she was moving forward, she seemed to have encountered a small obstacle, and she immediately flew out without thinking about it.

"Bang!" As the sound of a table case falling to the ground sounded, followed by a miserable howl: "I just wrote the Spring Festival couplet!" What's the matter with you little girl? ”

"Huh?" Sun Shangxiang only reacted at this time, raised his head and looked, only to find that he had just kicked a small stall of a young man on the side, and the pen and ink were sprinkled everywhere.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'll accompany you with money!" Although Sun Shangxiang's temperament has always been very jumpy, she also felt embarrassed when she knocked over someone's stall for no reason at the moment, not only apologized repeatedly, but also prepared to take out the money from her arms to compensate.

"Huh!" The young man thought that the other party was a rough lady from a rich family, but he didn't expect the other party to apologize very kindly, which made him stunned, but when he saw the pretty and unparalleled face of the girl in front of him, his face immediately turned a little red, and he pretended to be atmospheric: "No need, no need, a little pen and ink, no money, I'll write another one!" ”

"Can this Spring Festival couplets also be sold for money?" Seeing that the other party didn't accept it, Sun Shangxiang didn't insist, but just helped the other party's small table up, but when she saw the red and black letters on it, she was quite curious.

Spring Festival couplets she knows, it is said that the hateful Lu Xuantong in a certain year bored wrote two auspicious poems for the guards to put at the door, and then somehow, the people of Jiangdong have followed suit, and now every New Year is every household must stick, people who do not stick will be despised, but only in Jiangdong and Jingnan, as for the Han Dynasty and other places, paper sold in Jiangdong Jingnan is very expensive, except for some dignitaries, ordinary people who are willing to spend that money.

"Of course, although it is said that Lord Lu opened the Changhe Academy in Jiangdong, not everyone will go to further study, so there are still a few who are literate! If you want Spring Festival couplets, you can only ask others to write them, and I am also a student of Changhe Academy, so when I am free at the end of the year, I will come out to write some Spring Festival couplets for people to subsidize my family. ”

The beauty is in front of him, and the young man is very talkative, but he seems to be a fan of Lu An, and without saying a word, he immediately said with reverence on his face: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Lord Lu for his benevolence and righteousness, and the opening of Changhe Academy has given me and other Han family people the qualification to study, otherwise I am afraid that in the next life, I will only be able to cultivate land, it is impossible to study, and Lord Lu's merits are really comparable to the ancient sages." ”

"Humph!" Sun Shangxiang himself was in a bad mood because of his eldest brother, and seeing that the young man was still full of praise for the hateful person, he snorted coldly at the moment, and left in a hurry regardless of the young man's shouts.
