Chapter 262: The Knower Liren
Timely update, Chapter 262 Knower Liren
Qin Kan's footsteps were very slow and light when he walked out of the forest, and he looked at Li Dongyang with a smile as he walked, and in the depths of the dense forest behind him, more than a dozen guards with knives loomed.
Li Dongyang still had tears on his face, and when he saw Qin Kan approaching, he wiped it vigorously with a little embarrassment, and then stroked his beard, trying to pretend to be calm.
"Qin Kan, when did you come? Why didn't I see you just now? ”
Qin Kan pointed to the secluded and dense forest behind him, and said with a smile: "Just now, Xia Guan hid in the forest, and kept watching you say goodbye." ”
"Since you're here, why don't you say goodbye to Liu Gongxie, but now you're also the commander in charge of the Jinyi Guard, what kind of system is it to hide in the shadows?" Li Dongyang glared at him unhappily, but there was a little more doting in his reproachful tone, which he might not even be aware of, as if he regarded Qin Kan as an ignorant junior.
Qin Kan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "It's not that Xia Guan is sneaky, it's really that my reputation has stinked all over the street, if I come out, Liu Gong Xie Gong will definitely scold me to the end, Xia Guan is too thin-skinned, and he doesn't have the hobby of sticking his head out to be scolded." ”
Li Dongyang paused for a moment, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "You are thin-skinned? Qin Kan, there is nothing wrong with being modest, but it is not right to be modest to the point of opening your eyes and talking nonsense, from the beginning of your entry into Beijing, the pit Wang Yue, the pit minister, the pit Shou Ninghou, and even the old man have been pit by you, and the pit will not change after the pit is finished, and the blame will be pushed on the side of others, you stand by with an innocent face and watch the excitement, do you think you are embarrassed to say that you are thin-skinned? ”
Qin Kan muttered: "I didn't come out if I knew the way, but I burned his house once, how long does the careful old man plan to hold a grudge?" ”
Li Dongyang smiled more and more heartily: "The old man plans to hold a grudge until he enters the coffin, this matter is not over." ”
Qin Kan smiled and turned to look at the end of the dusty official road.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian's carriage was gone, and the merchants and pawns on the official road continued their journey with hope or disappointment, and two of the world-famous troikas during the Hongzhi period finally bid farewell to the historical stage of the Ming Dynasty, and since then they have parted ways and left the scene gloomily.
Li Dongyang's expression became stunned, he sighed long, and said: "The old man cherishes feathers all his life, but his old friends for decades don't understand me, and he has been a confidant for decades...... It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Qin Kan smiled and said: "Everyone in the world is drunk, Li Gong is awake alone, I'm afraid the taste of being alone is not very pleasant, right?" ”
Li Dongyang glanced at Qin Kan up and down, and said with a smile: "Who said that the old man woke up alone?" Aren't you with you? Since you entered Beijing, the old man has not stopped paying attention to you, a small brocade household, dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Dongchang factory alone, and dare to burn the house of the scholar of the dynasty, easily transfer this disaster to the old man and Wang Yue, since then the old man knows that you are not a fuel-efficient lamp, and later check the salt case, investigate the Suzhou weaving case, offer "Caigen Tan", teach the prince to make soup for the first emperor......"
One by one, the deeds were carefully counted by Li Dongyang, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind Qin Kan's back when he heard it.
The old man really didn't tell a lie, and he really kept an eye on him all the time, and never kept his word, and it was certain that the attention of the scholars of the dynasty was not only because of the burning of his house.
Li Dongyang paused, stared at Qin Kan with a smile, and said: "Good things have been done, evil things have been done, good fame has been raised, notoriety has also been raised, good and evil, gains and losses, Qin Kan, you tell the old man, how do you choose?" ”
Qin Kan thought for a while and said: "But by heart, I'm just a poor sour boy who came out of the countryside, there have been ups and downs along the way, and there are constant troubles, in order to survive, I don't care about good and evil, good and evil, I just want to live in this chaotic world, protect my wife and family, and if I can, let them live better and have a richer life, and I ...... "...,
Looking up at the gray sky, Qin Kan exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, and said: "I also have my own ideals, I hope to use my own ability to change something in my lifetime, of course, just try my best, Li Gong is also a family person, you should know that a man who has a family and fetters will definitely not work hard for the so-called dream ideal, just do his best, it is gratifying to succeed, and if it can't be achieved, he will resolutely retreat, and never try again, because I have experienced every risk now, It's like betting my whole family's lives on the table, I can afford to lose my own life, but I can't afford to lose the life of my wife's family......"
"Therefore, I am willing to conform to the situation of the world, change different faces, the good is to help the world, the poor are alone, the ideal is too nothing, if it conflicts with the life or happiness of my wife and family, I will not hesitate to abandon the ideal, for them, I can even do not want integrity, not fame, I am willing to join forces with the devil, and I am willing to bow my head in front of the powerful, even if it is pointed out by Wanfu, scolded by all generations, as long as my wife's family can treat me as a human being, treat me as a good person, this life is not in vain."
Li Dongyang quietly listened to Qin Kan's rare words, and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
Chungye? Jiān yes?
The ministers in the court who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality flaunt the way of a gentleman everywhere, but in fact, how many people can be called gentlemen? He said it in a dignified manner, and what he turned around to do was all male thieves and female prostitutes, compared to the young man in front of him, who was undoubtedly much more frank and honest.
The so-called words of a sage are just a weapon used to attack political opponents and restrain the emperor, but no one has ever really weighed themselves with it, but it is better to honestly admit like Qin Kan to go with the flow, go his own way, and not care about the reputation behind him.
Li Dongyang suddenly felt as if he understood the young man in front of him.
Brushing his beard, Li Dongyang said slowly: "So, you can act without asking about good and evil, regardless of good and evil, you can teach the prince to make soup and tell him what filial piety is, and you can also resolutely raise the butcher's knife and kill Dongchang without blinking an eye......
Qin Kan smiled faintly: "It's too tiring to manage the reputation of a good company, I only do things with my heart." ”
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Sage Yun: 'Those who are unkind can't be with each other for a long time, and they can't be happy. The benevolent is benevolent, the knower is benevolent', you are not the benevolent, you are the knower. ”
Qin Kan clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "But with a bodhisattva heart, holding up a butcher's knife is also transcendence and compassion." ”
PS: This chapter is not irrigation, the front more than 700,000 words, rarely so straightforward and large paragraph of analysis of Qin Kan's xìng grid, well, I think it is necessary to write, the protagonist of my pen, its highlights are not just pit people.
The title of the chapter, "The Knower of Benevolence", is taken from the Analects. According to my understanding, even if a smart person does something benevolent and righteous, the premise should be good for himself, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of "no profit is not early", but it is also a kind of person who is neither praise nor depreciation.
Fiction, in fact, is to write about people, great, noble, and righteous, but also should have cowardice, mediocrity, and greed. (To be continued.) Up-to-date, ,
