Wang Shouren was waiting for Duan Fei in the study, he retreated early, and drove the guards into the distance, leaving only the four henchmen around him, Duan Fei's skills are now far beyond them, and he quietly came to the door of the study, his steps were slightly heavy, Wang Shouren looked up in the room and asked, "Is it Ah Fei?" Come on in. ”

Duan Fei pushed the door in, closed the door with his backhand, and then stepped forward to bow to Wang Shouren and said, "The teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" ”

Wang Shouren smiled: "You get up, move a chair and sit down, I have something to tell you." ”

Duan Fei moved a chair and sat on the side of the desk, Wang Shouren continued to finish writing a word on the table with a pen, and after drying it away, he looked at Duan Fei and said, "Do you know what I asked you to do?" ”

Duan Fei said: "The disciple is stupid, please ask the teacher to show me." ”

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "If you are also stupid, there are few smart people in the world, do you know why I recommended Li Hua of the Imperial Food Supervisor to take charge of the East Factory today?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Li Hua is honest and has no ambitions, does the teacher want the East Factory to stop?" ”

Wang Shouren said: "This is just the superficial reason, if you think that Li Hua is honest and has no ambition, then it is ridiculously wrong, in the old man's opinion, if this Li Hua is unrestrained after he leaves the East Factory, I am afraid that within half a year, he can replace you as the hottest person in front of the emperor, and even watch the Ming Dynasty, do you say he has ambition?" ”

Duan Fei exclaimed: "In that case, why did the teacher recommend him to become the supervisor of the East Factory?" ”

Wang Shouren pondered and said: "A few years ago, I accidentally entered the palace to face the saint, and suddenly walked to the toilet urgently, and saw a small yellow door standing in the toilet to pee...... He's Li Hua......"

Duan Fei's eyes widened in surprise, and Wang Shouren continued: "Originally, I thought that a little eunuch who had no pure body had nothing to do with me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was an opportunity, and it would be good to keep a successor in the palace...... At that time, I didn't meet you, I was looking for a successor everywhere, so I woke him up, threatened, he obeyed, and when I saw the emperor come out, I hurried to teach him a set of exercises, gave him some silver, and made an appointment to meet, since then he bought the big eunuch of the imperial dining room, and often followed out to do goods, and met with me, I taught him about half a month, and received a holy decree to transfer to Jiangxi, since then I haven't seen him again for a long time, when I returned to Beijing last year, I found that he has become the great eunuch of the imperial dining room, All the eunuchs who fought with him for power either had an accident and went to prison or died in a dung pit for some reason, do you say he is powerful? ”

Duan Fei said: "It turns out that he is also a disciple of his master, and his teacher recommended him to join the East Factory, could it be that he wanted him to secretly assist me?" ”

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Before that, you have to subdue him first, otherwise you will be replaced by him, you can do it yourself." ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "I see, Teacher, how many such disciples do you have?" It's good to say the number to give the disciple a mental preparation. ”

Wang Shouren said: "Not much, busy with official business for the teacher, not much time to train disciples, you know yourself, if it is not for your talent, I am afraid that you will not learn much, rest assured, the most important thing for the teacher is you, the other teachers have left a hand, it is easy to control them, but if you want to take them for your own use, it is a little difficult, they are all unruly, even if they have no ambition, they are not necessarily willing to succumb to others, if you don't like it, find an opportunity to clean them up." ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "The disciples understand, then ask the master to tell the disciples in detail about their hearts, the strengths and weaknesses of the exercises they have learned." ”

Wang Shouren shook his head, took a pen and wrote four names on the paper, telling Duan Fei their origins and strengths, and Duan Fei had to do the rest by himself.

After Wang Shouren handed over these four disciples to Duan Fei, he sighed leisurely: "I have also spent a lot of effort on them as a teacher, and now they are all quite competitive, if you can use them as much as possible, you really can't use them...... As a teacher, you won't stop it, you look at it, you have to think more about doing things in the future, today you went to see Zhang Rui and Yang Yiqing, right? Zhang Ruicheng's mansion is very deep, and he will repay him, you can't expect anything from him, but Yang Yiqing is a true gentleman, if he has a better opinion of you, it is a good thing for you to deepen your relationship with him. ”

Duan Fei said: "I also have great respect for the old disciple Yang, he asked me to talk to me for a long time today, and the relationship is harmonious, and the disciple will often visit the Yang Mansion in the future, teacher, you have taken the initiative several times in the court today, which is completely different from the teacher's usual performance, and now you have handed over a few senior brothers to me, teacher, don't you want to retreat bravely and go home to make fun of your grandson, right?" ”

Wang Shouren sighed: "As a teacher is now a very good minister, everything that should be obtained has been obtained, the years are not forgiving, the court dispute is too boring for me, I want to live a few more years as a teacher, think about the heart and the things you said, and write a book to come out for a hundred years." ”

Duan Fei hurriedly said: "Teacher, you are old and strong, Yang Yiqing has not retreated, how can you retreat?" The disciple is isolated in the court, if there is no mentor to guide him, he doesn't know how to die, the mentor, Confucius and Mencius did not write the book himself, their remarks were written down by the disciples, even Zhu Xi did not write it himself, why didn't the mentor gather two or three disciples to accompany him at any time and record the words and deeds of the mentor? The disciple also plans to vigorously promote the teacher's mental science and completely solve Zhu Xi's legacy, how can the teacher not personally sit in the capital and deal with those Cheng Zhu remnants who come to the door at any time? ”

Wang Shouren's eyes flashed, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense, although Cheng Zhu Lixue has something wrong, how can he deny it?" Do you want to learn to fight against Cheng Zhu Lixue? You even calculated that the master had entered it, and it was really a last resort. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "This is not a calculation, this is a good thing that benefits the people, the country and the people, and is also extremely beneficial to the spread of psychology!" ”

A smile appeared on Wang Shouren's face, and he asked, "What are you going to do for the teacher?" ”

Duan Fei said: "It's very simple, the disciple wants to ask his teacher to be the honorary editor-in-chief of the "Daily News", open a column, and publish a mental article every day or every week, it's as simple as that. ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "It's that simple? Do you want to use the newspaper as a battlefield and let the teacher compete with the people of the world! ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "This is a rare opportunity, and there is no need to fight in person, real gold is not afraid of fire, the truth is debated more and more, it is very convenient to use newspapers to promote mental science, in the future, as long as you sort out the newspapers, you can publish many books, what does the teacher think?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled: "It sounds good, just give it a try." ”

Duan Fei said happily: "Thank you for the support of the teacher, in this way, the teacher doesn't have to say goodbye easily, right?" ”

Wang Shouren said: "It's limited to one year, after all, the teacher is old, and he wants to go back to his hometown to retire, and several disciples of the teacher have also become talents, even if the teacher returns home, he can continue to support you to run a newspaper. ”

Duan Fei said happily: "Thank you for the cultivation of the teacher, the disciple will live up to the high expectations of the teacher, carry forward the study of the heart, and let the teacher become a saint who will be passed on side by side with Confucius and Mencius for all generations!" ”

Coming out of Wang Shouren's house, Duan Fei was full of excitement along the way, today he has gained a lot, Zhang Rui's false alliance can be ignored, and the relationship with Yang Yiqing has improved, Wang Shouren's full support for him is the biggest benefit, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, his efforts over the past year have not been in vain, and they have finally borne fruit, with the support of these two bigwigs, coupled with their own efforts and support for manpower, things will be much easier in the future.

Duan Fei woke up beautifully, only to see his son lying on his body and being happy to him, Duan Fei hugged his son and kissed him twice, and said with a smile: "Good son, you will wake up your father at such a young age, it's so good." ”

Su Rong took Duan Yu back and said with a smile: "If you don't get up again, the door will be squeezed through, hurry up and change your clothes and go out to meet guests." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Are there so many people? It's almost the same to meet guests, huh...... Send someone to spread the word first, let those people vote for a prayer post first, and then go home and wait, and when the official wants to see them, he will naturally send someone to pass it on. ”

Su Rong smiled: "They all came with many gifts, do you accept them or not?" ”

Duan Fei replied, "Well...... Collect it, collect it first, and then talk about it, ask someone to make a list, and I will go to see the emperor later, and by the way, bring the list with me, and these things should be donated to the treasury. ”

Su Rong smiled slightly, put the child in the cradle, came over to serve Duan Fei to change his clothes, and said, "Xianggong is not afraid of offending all these people?" You must know that although they are not determined now, they are also a great force. ”

Duan Fei said: "Why are these beam-jumping clowns worrying? I did this to save trouble in the future, and at the same time let everyone know that the official cares about the individual's ability, not the number of gifts given, after such a toss, those who have the ability and ideas will understand, and when they gather one after another, how can those who spend money to buy officials be the opponents of this group of people gathered under my banner? ”

Duan Fei really accepted all the gifts, and then went to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town with a very detailed list, Wang Zuo had already been ordered to wait here, Duan Fei handed over the list to him, and instructed: "Check it out according to this list, and report their information to me in detail." ”

Wang Zuo took the order and left, Duan Fei held a meeting, approved a lot of official documents, and drafted a plan for the Spring Festival holiday, overtime arrangement and year-end bonus in the Jinyi Wei system, and was ready to convene everyone to discuss it and announce it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Duan Fei went to the leopard room with a gift, Zhengde had indeed returned from the dynasty early, and was about to start cultivating, when he heard that Duan Fei was coming, he immediately summoned him.
