Li Keding and Lu Wan understood at that time, they must be talking about their ancestors, the two glanced at each other, and listened to Puyun continue: "It is your great-ancestor, both of them have contributed to the Qing Dynasty, and the Tongzhi Dynasty has been rewarded." The Lu family moved from Yunnan to Hejian from the Kangxi Dynasty, and was an official in successive dynasties, and Miss Lu's great-grandfather served as the prefect of Baoding and the political envoy of Shanxi, with an outstanding reputation; Miss Lu's grandfather served as the prefect of Hejian; Now the uncle of the Lu family is serving in Huhaidao, serving as an official for one term, and has a good reputation. Keding's great-grandfather was also quite prestigious in Hejian and once served in Zhili; Keding's grandfather drove coal mines and built railways; Especially when preparing to establish a coal mining company, because the imperial court had no money, it could only rely on shares to raise start-up capital, and Keding's grandfather took the risk to buy shares. It's a pity that Keding's grandfather was not in good health, and after the water leakage of the Zunhua Imperial Mausoleum, he stepped forward and took responsibility for continuing to do foreign affairs. After the first Wu year, Keding's second uncle went to serve in the prime minister's affairs yamen. I'm afraid your father didn't mention what I'm telling you today. First, you have grown up, and secondly, the Qing Dynasty has also become history, although the emperor is still in the Forbidden City, he is no longer the original emperor. Therefore, I should also let you know that the two families have contributed to the Qing Dynasty and have been wronged, but later it was not the Qing Dynasty that did not reward their merits, but they really did not have that ability. ”

Li Keding got up and filled the master with tea, and then poured it full for Lu Wan. After a while, Pu Yun asked Lu Wan, "There is a church in the river, have you ever been there?" ”

Lu Wan replied: "I haven't been there yet, in fact, I rarely stay in Hejian, and I have mainly been in Tianjin with my father and mother these years." ”

Puyun is a person who has come over, how can he not understand them, seeing that the two of them are talented and beautiful, he is willing to fulfill them, and said to Li Keding: "Keding, you can take Miss Lu to the church in two days." ”

Li Keding knew his master's intentions, and saw Lu Wan sitting with a smile and his eyes lowered, Li Keding knew that she was also willing, so he replied, "Okay, I will definitely take Miss Lu there." ”

Lu Wan looked at the tea set when he drank tea, whether it was the glaze of the porcelain or the pastel painting, it was better than his own, and he had been thinking in his heart, where did Mr. Puyun come from? So I asked him, "Dare to ask sir, how many years have you been in Hejian?" ”

Puyun replied without thinking: "It's been eighteen years, and your generation has grown up in a blink of an eye. ”

"Oh, sir, I've been here for so many years." Lu Wan saw that Puyun was a little old, and thought that he was going to talk about two old things, but now he only talked about one, so he asked: "Mr. just said that he wants to tell us two things, I don't know if you have finished speaking?" ”

Puyun is still a girl's heart, and then said: "The second thing, we have to start from the year of Wuxu, and there is no need to shy away from it, that is, one faction supports Kang Liang, and the other faction does not support it." Among those who support it, there are also those who think that it will become too fast, and if you want to be fast, you will not reach it; Among those who oppose it, there are also those who believe that it must change, but the time has not yet come. The grandfathers of the two were on the side of the support group, but there were also differences in support, one believing that it would become too fast and the other that it should be drastic. Li Keding asked, "My grandfather thinks that it should be drastic, right?" Puyun said, "Yes, Miss Lu's grandfather thinks it's going too fast. Looking back, it was still Mrs. Lu who was right, he was too idealistic and impatient at that time. If this is not the case, maybe the ending of the Wuxu year will be very different, and the last chance of the Qing Dynasty will not be lost, hey! Time also, life also! ”

Seeing that Li Lu and the others were listening carefully, Pu Yun said again: "In the year of Wuxu, everyone made mistakes, from the emperor, the queen mother, members of the royal family, military aircraft, localities, academics, and business circles. Since then, change has all but come to a standstill, and a lot of good time has been wasted. Therefore, in the midst of chaos, it takes not only wisdom but also luck to balance the various factions to move forward. Li Keding asked: "Is this what people often say, current events create heroes?" Puyun nodded and said: "It is this reason, thinking back to the entry of the Qing Dynasty, how much is because of luck, how much is because of ability, how much is because of strength, I am afraid that the three are equally divided." You think, just met Li Zicheng, met Chongzhen, and met Wu Sangui. Isn't it lucky that the Qing Dynasty can enter the customs and pacify the world? It's not all human, there are no heroes like that. What Taizong is wise, the regent is eloquent, my emperor is wise, the queen mother is wise, how can there be any wisdom? No one who is wise and can face reality is very remarkable. ”

"That's great, sir." Lu Wan deeply agreed with the view that no one is wise, so she shared her opinion, "I have heard Teacher Weiyun say that no one can have wisdom far beyond the public. Choose someone, let him do things according to the rules, don't let him make big mistakes, and he won't be bad. Don't ask for much merit, merit is slowly accumulated, but please don't make big mistakes, this is the right way. ”

"Oh, Weiyun is also concerned about these?" Pu Yun immediately smiled and asked, "Does Miss Lu know Wei Yun?" How is he now? Lu Wan replied, "Teacher Weiyun is kind and peaceful, and in good health, I often go to listen to his lectures when I am in Tianjin. ”

Pu Yun said with a look of relief on his face: "Weiyun is my third brother, I went to Tianjin 8 years ago, I didn't expect Miss Lu to know him, it's really a place in life where we don't meet." ”

"I've heard my father say that Teacher Weiyun has four siblings, and you are the eldest brother. It's just that the rest is unknown. Lu Wan said with a smile.

Puyun said: "We have four brothers and sisters, the second brother Qingyun, in the Xianyang Qingyun Temple; Third brother Weiyun, in Tianjin, you already know each other; The little sister Kongyun is in the Wuxiang Nunnery in Beijing, and she has also become a nun. This is our four brothers and sisters, who have worked all their lives, have not made achievements, and are ashamed of their family and country. ”

Then, Pu Yun thought for a while, and then said: "What Miss Lu said just now is a great achievement if you don't make mistakes, and from the perspective of the nation, it is indeed worth introspecting. Thinking of the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang Four Dynasties, more than 100 years, it was left far behind by the West. When he woke up, he was like a lost person, who didn't know the surroundings, let alone where he was going. Especially selfish, he wants to change, but he doesn't want to admit his mistakes, for fear that the people will see the incompetence of the royal family, and they will be in a dilemma, and finally achieve nothing. If he had thought of the common people as the priority, rather than the ancestral society, he would not have made such a big mistake. In the end, not only did the court and society not be protected, but it also affected all sentient beings and delayed the development of the nation, which is really a sin and a sin. After a few sighs, Puyun looked at the two of them and said with anticipation: "Fortunately, there are talents from all generations of the country, thinking of my China, three thousand years of unremitting self-improvement and virtue, there will be a day of revitalization." ”

After listening to the master's speech, Li Keding combined with Lu Wan's words that not making a big mistake is a great achievement, and said to Puyun: "Master, please forgive me for taking the liberty of it. The Qing Dynasty has learned so many lessons from all dynasties, the first emperors have worked hard to make the country prosperous, and Kang Yongqian has great talents and strategies, but at major joints, he has repeatedly missed good opportunities and inadvertently made big mistakes. The saddest thing is that they don't recognize the mistakes they have made. I'm afraid it's really as Lu Wan said, don't ask for merit, if there is no big mistake, it will be a great merit. Confucius said: "What is the heaven, the four seasons are the birth of a hundred things, and the golden mouth has many words, and it is inevitable that you will not make a big mistake." ”

Puyun nodded and sighed: "The people are precious, the monarch is light, and the society is secondary, these words are really evocative." But who really understands what it means? The road is the same, and some countries have taken a different path, but they have the same path. ”

As soon as I said this, someone outside the door came to report that there was a Japanese named Kurasuke Tojo asking to see him. Puyun still remembers this person, and said in his heart, how did he come to me? Someone is invited.
