Chapter Fifty-Six: The cold wind blows the wine and wakes up
This name really shocked Lin Anmin.
However, after seeing Wei Xingzhen himself, Lin Anmin felt that this person should not be a demon.
The young man in front of him had only recently turned fifteen, and there was still a thinness in his body—far from the image of a young man in his twenties in Miaowei's pen.
Not only that, Lin Anmin also heard a lot of stories about this young man from other subordinates, it turned out that Wei Xingzhen grew up in Daizong Mountain since he was a child, and he was the adopted son of a hunter.
A few years ago, Orion passed away, and in order to make a living, he began to run errands under the rooftop.
At that time, Wei Xingzhen was only eleven or twelve years old, and because of his reliable work, he was deeply loved by several old winter officials, and these old ministers of Si Tiantai would ask their family members or servants to change a few old robes for Wei Xingzhen every year, so as not to freeze him in the cold.
Lin Anmin made a special trip to find the dependents of these winter officials in private, and asked them if Wei Xingzhen's length changed every year, and the answer was as expected - just like all human teenagers, Wei Xingzhen was thin and agile in her early years, and when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she suddenly became taller, and sometimes she didn't see her for a few months, and the sleeves that had been changed just right before seemed a little shorter.
These things are always remembered very well by the people who make clothes by themselves.
At this point, Lin Anmin finally settled down - there are indeed many monsters in the world who will temporarily deceive people's eyes by some illusionary tricks, so as to make people relax their vigilance, and then wait for the opportunity to do harm.
But just ask, let's ask which demon fox in the world would pretend to be a teenager so much, and come to Si Tiantai to do all kinds of hard and tiring errands, and it will take two or three years to do it......
What is this monster trying to do?
Moreover, Daizong Mountain is the holy land of the Great Zhou, and there is no shortage of monks with profound cultivation in Si Tiantai, how can any monster come here to fish in troubled waters.
Thinking about it this way, the so-called same name should just be a coincidence.
But for the sake of insurance, Lin Anmin first asked him to be Dr. Leak - when Lin Anmin first entered the rooftop, he also worked on the position of Dr. Leak for several years.
This work is hard, boring, and tedious, and the place where it is located is quite marginal in terms of geography and personnel, but it is the best way to see a person's heart and geometry, to see if he can endure loneliness.
What comforted Lin Anmin was that Wei Xingzhen had indeed done a good job.
Except for Wei Xingzhen, who is always silent and seems to be a little indifferent to foreign affairs, this young man's restrained tenacity and unflattering temperament really made Lin Anmin feel appreciated.
Later, the winter official was retired due to illness, and Lin Anmin asked Wei Xingzhen to take the post, and soon thereafter, he recommended Wei Xingzhen to the imperial court and promoted Wei Xingzhen to Lingtai Lang, responsible for sorting out the surveying and mapping files and documents of the Tiantai dynasties.
Lin Anmin's original idea was to let Wei Xingzhen be more familiar with Si Tiantai's overall affairs in Si Tiantai's library - since he didn't want to do those things that made friends with people, it was good to be a transactional professional, and in this way, he could just leave a reliable helper for Yin Shiyun.
Unexpectedly, in the fourteenth year of Tianfu, not long after the incident of hundreds of officials kneeling at the palace gate, the saint suddenly issued an order, asking all yamen in Gyeonggi to send a group of elite civil officials to the palace to assist in sorting out the documents of the inner court, and Si Tiantai was of course no exception.
It's just that this time, Lin Anmin never imagined that he would be dug into the corner by Sun Youwei - the empress is obviously also kind to Wei Xingzhen and his people, and soon after that, a handwritten order from His Majesty was sent to Si Tiantai, transferring Wei Xingzhen to Wenyuan Pavilion as the school manager.
Lin Anmin felt pity, but the holy order could not be violated, so he prepared a little wine to bid farewell to this offspring who he was most optimistic about in the past.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Anmin suddenly thought about the suspicion in his heart when he first met Wei Xingzhen, he really felt a little funny, funny and emotional, so he pondered how to tell this matter as a joke to the young man in front of him.
So Lin Anmin threw out the words and asked who gave you the name "Wei Xingzhen"? Your adoptive father?
Wei Xingzhen shook her head and replied that it was herself.
Lin Anmin was stunned, and asked again where the name came from.
Wei Xingzhen didn't have any scruples, and directly took out the hexagram of Zhou Yiqian's hexagram and talked about it, but before the words were finished, the cup in Lin Anmin's hand had already fallen to the ground.
The wine was scattered all over the ground, the jade cup was torn apart, and the cold wind suddenly woke up Lin Anmin's drunkenness.
He couldn't help but ask, how can a gentleman have four virtues, how can he only take one "wisdom"? Benevolence, righteousness, and propriety are not important, either?
Wei Xingzhen smiled and said, of course, it is not that the other three things are not important, but when choosing a name, it is necessary to take into account the good sound, so he chose the most important part of the four virtues.
Lin Anmin asked again, why is wisdom the most important?
Wei Xingzhen replied, benevolence, righteousness and etiquette are precious, but there are many false benevolence and false righteousness, hypocritical and rude people, after some of the seemingly benevolent and righteous deeds are implemented, not only can not sow the source of goodness, but will bear evil fruits, if the gentleman is not wise, it is impossible to distinguish what is the real "benevolence", what is the real "courtesy", what is the real "righteousness".
At that time, Wei Xingzhen saw that Lin Anmin's face was pale, and he was a little puzzled for a while, but Lin Anmin didn't explain, just asked Wei Xingzhen to go back to rest first, and prepare to leave for Chang'an tomorrow.
Wei Xingzhen left quickly, and the shock in Lin Anmin's heart was beyond measure.
He ran back to his house overnight, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the piano sheet left by Miaowei, and read the article carefully from beginning to end.
Thinking back to Wei Xingzhen's back, Lin Anmin suddenly shuddered.
Counting, Tianfu is fourteen years, Wei Xingzhen is twenty-two years old, he is eight feet long, his appearance is beautiful, and his gait is calm and light - isn't this the form of the demon fox in Miaowei's pen?
If a few strokes of the image are not enough to match these two people, then the origin of the name will be exactly the same?
Miaowei has been made an ancient ...... 1,200 years ago
If this Wei Xingzhen is Miaowei's bosom friend and old friend, then he must be a demon.
And now, this monster is about to go to Chang'an......
Lin Anmin had no sleep all night.
He made a lot of assumptions, each of which made him sweat coldly—this demon fox was scheming, using Si Tiantai as a springboard, and jumped to Gyeonggi, although it was still a small school manager at the moment, but its daily official duties were already among the important ministers.
There is obviously a shocking conspiracy behind this step-by-step posture.
But just by relying on a name, Lin Anmin can't come to the conclusion that this person is a demon - the demon has transformed into a demon and has entered the officialdom of the world, and if there is no more tangible evidence for such sensational news, no one will believe it at all.
Yes, don't talk about others, if it weren't for the chance to find that piano score, even Lin Anmin himself wouldn't believe it.
He can't startle the snake, let alone sit idly by.
In the fourteenth year of Tianfu, after Wei Xingzhen left for Chang'an, Lin Anmin officially began to investigate the person's past identity.
