Today is a picnic, although the theme is not in the feast, but can not be all cold dishes, Qiyun Pavilion in front of the big stone set up a bunch of bonfire, invited a master to barbecue the whole sheep, the whole sheep has been roasted to golden brown, the master took out a bright knife, let the little apprentice turn the whole sheep, quickly cut off the golden color, fragrant pieces of mutton, and then with a dish of snow-white salt powder and sent into the pavilion, each noble person in front of a share, the scholars outside the pavilion of course do not have this treatment.

Wang Zhaocha talked and laughed with his fellow disciple Cui Xiangsheng, and several local elders also mixed a few sentences from time to time, making a wine order and playing a word puzzle, anyway, it was a drinking and banquet game between literati. Father Xia is an illiterate martial artist, and he doesn't know anything about these things, so he just shakes off his cheeks and eats meat, and he has to look back from time to time, and sees his daughter and Ye Xiaotian sitting on the shore for a seat.

After thirty years of wine and fifty years of food, the surrounding students began to get up and come into the pavilion to toast Wang Zhicha, Cui Xiangsheng and others, and at the same time report to them about their homes, hoping to leave some impressions in the hearts of the scholars and the Central Plains Confucian.

Walking around like this, the atmosphere of the scene was lively, and an elderly man joked: "Guizhou students are all here for Mr. Cui's name, and the heart of boxing must be known." Since Mr. Cui has arrived in Guiyang, why not compare them, and benefit them a lot with a little advice, and it is not in vain to go through this experience today. ”

According to the inspector Wang Haoming smiled and said: "Exactly, Xiangsheng, you give them a little bit of encouragement, it is also their glory, you see those students and those people on both sides of the strait, they are all looking at you." ”

Cui Xiangsheng smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Haoming, you have a problem for your brother, this is the place where Mr. Confucian Xin'an in Qianzhong lectures, and Xiangsheng dares to be presumptuous." ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, everyone knew that he was just a humble word, how could he not take advantage of the situation to carry the sedan chair, so he praised Cui Xiangsheng and Mr. Ma Tingxi of the heart of the world to look forward to the Central Plains, Cui Xiangsheng reluctantly said: "That is the case, it is better than this, please ask the scholars who are interested in asking questions to come forward, first choose a random thing as the topic, give a poem, and you and I will comment on it, which is a test of his poetic talent." After that......"

When Cui Xiangsheng said this, the scholars sitting around Qiyun Pavilion had already heard it, and they all stopped drinking and feasting, pricked up their ears to listen, and when they heard Cui Xiangsheng's exam questions, they immediately looked at the sky and the earth, and chose the wording, which was cheaper than those who sat far away.

Cui Xiangsheng said: "Moreover, the purpose of studying the sage scriptures is to serve the officials in politics, assist the king, and educate the locality. Then Cui came up with a topic, and this topic has been debated in the court recently, that is: Should the country continue to implement the policy of banning the sea, and try to invite all beings to express their opinions, how about it? ”

This maritime ban policy was understood and lifted in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was repeated and run throughout. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because many of the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and other losers in the struggle for hegemony were also at sea, coupled with the consideration of some other factors, Zhu Yuanzhang also implemented a maritime ban policy.

In the Yongle period, Chengzu Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean, and the official opened the sea ban, and the people also opened it, but in the Jiajing period, the pirates were rampant, and the sea ban had to be restored again. A few years ago, when the current emperor's father, Emperor Longqing, was still in power, Xu Zemin, the governor of Fujian, wrote a letter requesting the opening of the market, which was easy to smuggle into legal trade.

At that time, the pirates were already scattered under the blows of famous generals such as Qi Jiguang, and they were no longer troubled, so the imperial court adjusted the national policy and allowed the people to trade overseas, which was called "Longqing Switch" by later generations. However, there are still many people in the government and the opposition who oppose the opening of the sea, and recently some people have written a letter requesting a ban on the sea, which has caused a fierce debate among the princes of the imperial court.

After the king ordered the people to stand in front of the pavilion and announce the topic loudly, all the scholars immediately became excited, who didn't want to show their strengths in front of this great Confucian? If you can get him to comment and praise two sentences, wouldn't you immediately elevate your status in Shilin.

It's just that the poems are easy to do, the most important thing is that the poems are wonderful and the intentions are lofty, this depends on the individual's usual poetry skills, but the topic of the policy is not only whether you can be reasonable and graspy, but the most important thing is whether your position is consistent with this Mr. Cui, otherwise he is unhappy, how can he give you a good evaluation.

Fortunately, these gentlemen have done enough work before going to the banquet, and they have a detailed understanding of this Mr. Cui, knowing that this Mr. Cui is a typical person who opposes the opening of the sea and insists on the ban on the sea, and wants to please him, so he naturally clarifies his attitude.

However, there are many upright people among the scholars, or they are the children of official eunuchs, and his father and ancestor are officials in the court, and the attitude of his father and ancestor is precisely to support the opening of the sea, so he can't go against his father and ancestors, so he has already made up his mind in his heart.

If everyone blindly compliments Cui Xiangsheng, this literary test will be uninteresting, precisely because these scholars who support the opening of the sea will have a bit of a taste.

After several scholars expressed their opinions, Xu Boyi stepped forward and first chanted a poem with the title of Nanming River, which was praised by Cui Xiangsheng and lifted his spirits, and then said on the policy of sea ban: "Sea ban is really my Ming ancestral system." My Emperor Taizu's intention to ban the sea is resolute and consistent. The ancestors became the law in the front, but unfortunately in the first year of Longqing, there were feudal officials who were bewitched by the place, and while the emperor had just ascended the throne, he did not know the people's feelings in the world, and asked to open the sea ban. ”

Cui Xiangsheng nodded frequently when he heard this, and he had a better impression of this young man.

At this time, a scholar named Yan Qianqin stood up, this benevolent brother surnamed Yan, his father was the Guizhou Buzheng Division, and he was an official who supported Kaihai.

Yan Qianqin said: "Chengzu opened the sea and went to the Western Ocean seven times, so that my Chinese cultural relics could reach all over the world. Those who paid tribute were more than 30 countries. The territory is vast, and it is far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Micro market, turn foreign Yidi, how do you know that my China is rich and strong? How can you come from all over the world, ancient and modern? ”

Cui Xiangsheng's face sank, and Xu Boyi said calmly: "The matter of the city is a big bad defense in the summer." The cunning man will seek profit. Wealthy businessmen, huge profits. They are all philistines, and they are corrupted by extravagance. Isn't it a great harm to those who speak of the market to benefit the country and the people? ”

Yan Qianqin said: "Those who are in the market, regardless of their net worth, sail thousands of miles. Whale salamanders are companions, waves are companions, and those who die nine times without regrets or complaints, want to spread the saint's humanities and teachings in Yidiye, Liye, and harm Ye? ”

Xu Boyi smiled and said, "Set up officials and divide duties, and each has its own division." The government is constant and easy to keep, and it is difficult to lose the matter back to the basics. Confucius said: 'It is better to have thieves than to gather ministers!' ’”

Li Qiuchi stood up and said in solidarity: "Eavesdropping on the way to govern people, preventing the origin of yin, broadening the end of morality, suppressing the end of profit and opening benevolence and righteousness." guide the people to virtue, and the people will return to the thick; Show the people for profit, then the folk customs are thin ......"

On the shore seat, Yao Yao ate something casually, and the child's habits couldn't sit still, and she also knew that Brother Xiaotian couldn't play with her at the banquet today, so she hugged Xiaotian's neck and begged softly, and with Xiaotian's permission, she smiled and led the big man and Fuwa'er to play in the woods.

Ye Xiaotian took a bite of the bacon that Yingying had brought over, handed a piece of fruit to her mouth, and looked at the scholars and scholars who were desperately showing themselves in front of Qiyun Pavilion very boredly, and said to Yingying: "The road in Guizhou is not easy to walk, that Mr. Cui is a great Confucian, and he must be very beautiful in the Central Plains, why did he go to Guiyang without any difficulty, just because he was the same year as Wang Zhaocha?" ”

Yingying said: "That's not it, because he is from Guizhou." His ancestral home is Tongren, and now his family still lives there, this time he is returning to his hometown to visit his parents and brothers, and he came to Guiyang by the way. ”

Ye Xiaotian suddenly nodded slightly.

At this time, Li Qiuchi, who was born as a lawyer and had sharp teeth, had already refuted Yan Qianqin step by step, speechless, Li Qiuchi said: "The country has fertile fields and the people are not enough to eat, and the industry is prosperous but the industry is scarce!" There are goods of mountains and seas and the people are not enough to make money, and they are not engaged in civil use and yin is skillful! ”

Cui Xiangsheng heard this, clapped and laughed: "Okay! Well said! Who is this person? ”

Wang Jicha said with a smile: "This person is a famous lawyer in Guiyang, named Li Qiuchi. ”

When Cui Xiangsheng heard this, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Oh! It turned out to be a lawyer, such a character, how could he come to the banquet. ”

In the eyes of orthodox literati, the so-called litigators are all people who deceive foolish people, seduce lawsuits, chase after the wind, design schemes, or falsely accuse the good, or fool the innocent. If the lawyer is familiar with the law, he will inevitably be too upside down, and the future will be endless, because the attitude towards the lawyer has always been extremely disgusting, that is, in a place like Guizhou, there are fewer orthodox literati, and the living environment of the lawyer is freer.

In fact, although there are some people who only seek profit among the lawyers, there is also no shortage of righteous people. Xiaomin does not understand the law at all, and sometimes it is difficult to clear the grievances, thanks to the help of these lawyers. There are good and evil in any camp, but they should not be killed with a stick. In this regard, Chen Mengji and Fang Tangjing, two famous lawyers in the late Qing Dynasty, are outstanding representatives of good and evil.

Li Qiuchi was originally thanking Cui Xiangsheng, but when he saw Cui Xiangsheng's ecological degree change, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of everyone, and hurriedly defended: "Mr. Cui, the student is also from a Xiucai background, and he has read the books of sages, but he is only forced to make a living, so he became a lawyer.

Although the students were lawyers, they never did anything to pervert the law, and they also helped many innocent people. A person's moral character, can not only look at what his identity is, in the case of the scholars present, although some people are talented, but they are unlearned, morally despicable, can be described as the scum in Swen, compared to students, the difference can not be calculated! ”

Cui Xiangsheng heard him belittle the scholar, and he was even more displeased in his heart, and said lightly: "There is such a character, who is he?" ”

Li Qiuchi pointed to the shore and said, "This person's surname is Ye, his name is Xiaotian, that person is it!" ”
