Chapter Ninety-Six: The Gentleman's Treatise (I)

Seeing that the day was approaching, Liu Yu's inspection site had not yet been completed, but Sui Yi said that he would invite another banquet. Liu Yu now has a family and a room, and he doesn't want to run around at night, so he refuses at the moment.

The Great Ci'en Temple rang twelve bells, and the sound was deafening. This is also the custom of Buddhist temples, every morning or dusk with the Buddha bell to gather the monks in the temple to gather for morning or evening classes, only to see the monks in the Buddhist temple gather from all over the place, to the main hall to worship the Buddha. Chai Jin, who had investigated the case for half a while, walked out of the temple hall in a daze, and saw Liu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Yu standing at the door, and walked forward to say hello. There was another person next to Chai Jin who came to salute, Liu Yu looked familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"His name is Liu Ning." Sui Yi introduced, "Brother Liu doesn't remember? He came to me that day, and said that you introduced him, and now he is a scribe by my side, and he is quite clever, but I am upset when I listen to it. ”

Only then did Liu Yu remember the down-and-out scholar he met on the way home with a hundred official books on his back, and Liu Ning said that he would invite him to dinner that day. Liu Yu has the grace of knowing him, and Liu Ning has also run up for a long time, and summed it up in four words: "thank you for promotion".

Chai Jin stepped forward with a big face and said: "Now I am the same as Brother Sui and the Shaoyin of the Beijing Mansion, and I ask Brother Liu to mention more in the future, oh, Brother Sui is also more advanced." ”

Liu Yu is very busy now, and he doesn't have time to mention some chai gourd, and looking at Sui Yi's hostile attitude towards chai gourd, he definitely doesn't want to be a good person. Chai Jin: This is obviously not clear about the situation.

After a few words of greeting, Liu Yu said: "Tomorrow is the day when the wild goose pagoda leaves its name, and I will temporarily lead the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and there are important things to do, so I will say goodbye." ”

Sui Yi is not a scholar, and he yearns for the highest treatment of a scholar, and when he heard tomorrow's event, he couldn't help but step forward: "Wild Goose Pagoda is famous?" Do you have my share? ”

Liu Yu said: "It is reported that the emperor will invite some talented ministers to come tomorrow, most of them are officials of the Ministry of Rites and Taixue teaching, the invitation has already been sent, and you haven't received it yet." ”

Sui Yi's face was disappointed. Liu Yu inspected everywhere, and he had to go back to arrange the deployment of Luan's patrol tomorrow, fortunately Yang Lie had experience in this area, otherwise Liu Yu's preparations would be a mess, and he would not go home to accompany his wife at sunset.

…………

The fourth day of the fifth month is the triennial Wild Goose Pagoda Honor Day.

Liu Yu got up early in the morning again, and he didn't have to inspect the various camps of the Royal Forest Army today, but he had to prepare for Luan's patrol from early on.

Fortunately, it was gloomy and not hot on this day, and when Luan drove out of the palace, the fixed route had already been cleared, and the road was wide, so even if an assassin appeared, he would have time to take precautions. Liu Yu doesn't know if they can really fly the eaves and walk the wall, but it is said that the martial arts are very high, and it is no problem to fight ten martial arts masters, of course, it depends on how "high" the martial arts masters are.

Liu Yu rode a horse and followed behind Luan, not very tightly, and at some street corners, there were still many people gathered, all wanting to see the sky. Liu Yu, who has met the Son of Heaven many times, does not feel much honored, his main task on the road is to see and listen to all directions, and if something goes wrong, he will have a great responsibility.

Finally escorted Luan to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, at this time the Temple of Mercy and Grace was guarded by the Imperial Forest Army inside and outside, the invited ministers and Taixue students were waiting in front of the temple, they were not qualified to enter the Wild Goose Pagoda, and they had to wait for the Wild Goose Pagoda to leave their names before they had the opportunity to follow up the scholars to exchange knowledge, in fact, there were many officials who were born in the former list of Jinshi, and they did not feel strange about the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda.

And those jinshi had already stepped into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda earlier, and took advantage of the emperor's absence to go up for a while, chanting poems and giving them a while, and when the emperor came, they were not so comfortable.

escorted the emperor into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the first half of Liu Yu's escort mission was successfully completed. Taking advantage of the rest, Liu Yu was bored wandering around the Temple of Mercy and Grace. Just feeling bored, when he saw Han Sheng coming over leisurely, he saw Liu Yu and beckoned, "Why don't you kid go up?" ”

Liu Yu said: "I don't have the title of the gold list, there are master guards on it, and I can't stand it up to it, so it's better to come here leisurely." ”

Han Sheng smiled and said, "Except for the monks in the temple, who can get the opportunity to climb the Wild Goose Pagoda and look into the distance?" You kid don't know how to cherish the convenience of your position, go, go up with the old decay, and see the knowledge of the jinshi by the way. ”

Liu Yu is still a little reluctant, after all, the emperor is above, and he has to be very restrained in what he says and does. High-rise buildings are quite rare for the ancients, and Liu Yu has taken planes, so he is not much interested in this.

Han Sheng stepped forward and whispered, "What does the emperor mean, let you and I go up together to observe these Jinshi and find out if there are suspicious people among them." ”

Feelings are still business, the follow-up of hoe rape. Liu Yu accompanied Han Sheng into the Wild Goose Pagoda, climbed a few floors, panting and puffing.

"You kid is young and strong, and your body is so weak?" Han Sheng joked with a smile.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "There is a sick seedling, and it is good to have this condition." ”

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has seven floors, and each layer of the Royal Forest Army is very tightly guarded, and the assassins have no gaps. As soon as I walked up the seventh wooden staircase, I heard the scholars upstairs talking eloquently, as if they were arguing about knowledge, and the discussion was quite intense.

"On Learning." Han Sheng explained to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu nodded to show that he understood, in addition to the prostitutes and prostitutes, they also liked to sit and talk about poetry and show off their own literary talents. None of this is unsurprising. Especially in front of the emperor, isn't that a good performance?

When Liu Yu climbed to the seventh floor, he walked out of the tent and stood on the side for a while, but found that this treatise was somewhat different, or it was not similar to what he had heard before, and it was completely a debate with one enemy. The theme of the debate is "Gentleman's Standing", one side of the crowd is more than 100 Jinshi crowded here, and the widowed side is a little woman with a crisp voice, Liu Yue listened carefully and felt that the voice was familiar, and thought about it, wouldn't it be the Arab woman Qu Ning who had only treated him the day before yesterday?

A gentleman stands up, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are the first, this is the tone set by the ancestors. Although there are no Confucius and Mencius in history, there are hundreds of schools of thought, and the way of Confucianism has also been developed on this basis and has been passed down through the ages. In this regard, there is still a commonality between the two worlds. But on the contrary, this Qu Ning is not only knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but also eloquent, and a simple topic was actually discussed by her.

As a woman, Qu Ning couldn't meet people rashly, so she could only hide behind the screen, it seemed that the emperor intended to let her come out and show her talent. The arguments of the Jinshi are actually very simple, they feel that they are gentlemen, and of course they express their own opinions on the basis of their own self-establishment as a gentleman.

"I think that a gentleman stands up and puts morality first. The one who hides the Dan is red, and the one who hides the lacquer is black. It is a gentleman who must be careful of where he is. Dyeing the world with virtue, passing on Lourdes to the world, the world is fortunate. ”

After listening to the words in the clouds, I thought about it, it is roughly the meaning of "those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black", virtuous people educate the people around them, and the world is also virtuous people, this is a kind of ideal society that is taken for granted, that is, the "foolish society" that Liu Yu thinks. Without the constraints of cool laws and supervision, it is too difficult to make people virtuous just by relying on one mouth.

Han Sheng was quite impressed when he heard this opinion, and said: "This is the mountain of Liao Zhiyan, who has both character and learning, and has traveled to study at a young age, and is a famous talent in the north. ”

Liu Yuxin said that he was a leader, or a genius in the north, no wonder he was so awesome, and he picked up what he didn't understand.

I only heard Qu Ning's voice coming from behind the screen: "In this way, Liao Gongzi is a virtuous person? ”

Liao Zhishan said with arrogance on his face: "Don't dare to be, if you are virtuous or not, you should judge by others, and you don't believe your own words." But under the virtue has always been the foundation of self-cultivation, sleep and eat do not forget! ”

Qu Ning said coldly: "But the little woman heard that Liao Gongzi's family is wealthy, and when he was nineteen years old and his brother died early, he swept the eldest sister-in-law out of the house, and dared to ask, is this a virtuous act?" ”

If it weren't for the emperor's presence, Liu Yu really wanted to raise his thumb and praise this Qu Ning, and then laugh happily. He had already seen that this Liao Zhishan was not pleasing to the eye, and swore that he would cultivate himself with virtue, but it turned out to be just gold and jade, and it was not easy to be virtuous, and everyone was a subservant in front of interests.

Liao Zhishan was pointed out, and his face was red-eared: "The eldest sister-in-law has nothing to do, what is wrong with following the village rules?" ”

Although he refuses to admit defeat in his mouth, he has already admitted defeat in his heart, if he has no interest in making trouble, how can he sweep his mother-in-law out of the house? Not having a child and talking about warts and the like is just an excuse, an excuse that is used by others to satisfy selfish desires.

Liu Yu turned his head to look at Han Sheng and asked, "You gave her the background information of these Jinshi?" ”

Han Sheng said with a smile: "Jinshi's background is prepared in the Ministry of Rites, why can't he find out if he has the heart to investigate?" Before the Qu doctor came, she had read the origins of these Jinshi several times. ”

It turned out that he came prepared, Liu Yu smiled secretly in his heart, these Jinshi who are above the top and are women are in trouble.
