Liu Yin grew up watching Liu Zhisi, and knew that she was careful, so she explained in detail: "Puyun relies on kindness, morality and interests. Kindness and morality come first, so they can hold together, and after holding together, there will be benefits, and all three are indispensable. You see that the Lu family is different, it only relies on interests, so although the Lu family's power is great, it can't resist the banner, and it will never be like Puyun. There is no moral force, it seems to be solid, but in fact, it is a plate of loose sand, and when it is appropriate, it will be scattered as a bird and beast. ”

Liu Zhisi seemed to have realized something: "Morality first, then kindness, and then profit, this is the reason for the formation of Puyun's power." The Tao is in the first and the benefit is in the last, but there can be no benefit, let alone only profit, people who are mercenary cannot form the climate, it should be like this. ”

"Zhisi is right." Liu Yin promptly agreed with Liu Zhisi's point of view, "At any time, the banner of morality must be put in front, for example, your second uncle eliminated dissidents in Shenzhou, that is, he listened to your idea and played the flag of censoring land concealment, which is not only the hub of interests, but also beneficial to the country, otherwise the people will not welcome it." Even if you don't do what is moral, you must never object to it. ”

"Well, grandpa said it so well." Liu Zhisi asked again, "It seems that Zhisi took morality lightly before, and he will have to be careful in the future." ”

"Good! You remember a principle: 'Do your best if you are righteous, do what is righteous, do what is righteous, do it prudently, and don't do it if there is no righteousness or profit.' Liu Yin said, "Of course, this is about political affairs. Life is different, and the principle of life is: 'Do good, don't do evil'. ”

Liu Zhisi asked: "Why is it that doing good in life 'can be done regardless of interests', but in political affairs, 'there is no benefit to be done carefully'?" ”

"Doing good in life, regardless of profit, is because it only involves oneself, and it doesn't matter if you lose some money. And political affairs have always been a matter of the group, there is no benefit to the people, what is there to unite people, we must remember: morality and interests complement each other before people can support it. Liu Yin explained again.

Liu Zhisi already understood, and sure enough, what her grandfather said was the same as what Gu Shooting Phoenix taught her, and it was really the same way, so she asked about other aspects: "The Li family in the river, how is the power now?" ”

Liu Yin said: "Li Keding's father's generation has four brothers, Li Bonan, Li Zhongnan, Li Shunan, and Li Jinan. The eldest is Li Keding's father, who was originally in the Ministry of Education, but suddenly resigned last year and returned to his hometown Hejian. ”

"Oh? Is it because Yuan Shikai is the emperor? Liu Zhisi knows that many people resigned for this last year.

"There should be a reason for that." Liu Yin said.

Liu Zhisi said secretly, no wonder Li Keding has been writing articles last year, opposing the Lu Nu table with me, and asked again, "What are the other three brothers of the Li family doing?" ”

"The second eldest Li Zhongnan is now an official in Beijing; The third child, Li Shunan, is from the Anhui family like me, but he is in the border army; The fourth Li Jinan served in Chengde. Liu Yin said, "The Li family is not small, and they are Puyun's people, although their own power is not as good as the Lu family, but under Puyun's banner, they are really not to be underestimated." Especially Pu Yun is in his 60s, and he heard that his health is not good, and once he leaves, it will be the Li family who will take over his power relationship. ”

Preaching here, Liu Yin paused slightly, and then said: "What's more, Puyun has only one disciple in his life is Li Keding, if we can make friends with the Li family, we will have the opportunity to take over Puyun's power in the future, your second uncle is only 36 years old, if this can be done, the deep roots of the Liu family will be there, this is called grafting." Our foundation is too shallow, and in order to realize our ideals, we must recruit all kinds of forces, otherwise we will not succeed. ”

"Grandpa, you are really smart, what about the power of the Lu family?" Liu Zhisi continued to ask.

"The Lu family is intertwined, and they have made friends with both the old rich and the new rich. They only seek wealth, and they have no intention of doing things, let alone offend people easily. Liu Yin knocked lightly on the table, beat the beat, shook his head and said, "So let's go to our own Yangguan Road with the Lu family." ”

After listening to this, Liu Zhisi secretly said that the Lu family was a prelude to the fall, and asked his grandfather: "How did the Lu family get away from Mr. Puyun?" ”

"It's a long story, the Lu family has not completely separated from Puyun, but it is no longer like it was at the beginning, only Puyun is the first to look forward. Since Lu Wan's grandfather passed away, the Lu family has only sought wealth and nobility; Puyun is seeking ideals, and in recent years, because of different ways, they have become increasingly estranged. After speaking, Liu Yin asked Liu Zhisi, "Li Keding, how do you think of his talent?" ”

"It should be deep in the true biography of Mr. Puyun, and there is knowledge to learn, but it is more idealistic. If I and Li Keding theorize about Confucius, I can only bow to the wind, so let's get to know them today, and as for my thoughts and opinions, I will express them later depending on the situation. Liu Zhisi replied.

Liu Yin smiled and said, "Okay! Be brave and strategic, and be able to advance and retreat. With what you have learned and your ingenuity, as long as it is slightly revealed, it is not difficult to impress Li Keding, and even admire it from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that you have an advantage that he can't compare, that is, we are more realistic. After speaking, he paused, and then asked: "I intend to let you get acquainted with Li Keding and promote you, what is your intention?" ”

After all, Liu Zhisi is only a 15-year-old girl, listening to her grandfather speak so directly, and thinking about the scene where she and Li Keding are about to get married as shown by 'Youlu', she can't help but feel ashamed, so she has to bow her head and say nothing.

Liu Yin turned around and took Liu Zhisi's hand and said, "Although our family wants to make useful friends, you are grandpa's heart, and grandpa will naturally not exchange your marriage." I think Puyun's disciple's character should not be wrong, I just heard that Li Keding is also very handsome, and he is the eldest grandson of the Li family, in the future, the wealth of the Li family and the power of Puyun will eventually belong to him, maybe he doesn't realize these now, if you are with him in the future, not only can you help our family, the most important thing is that grandpa can rest assured, you know that grandpa is getting older and older, you have to find a good home for you while I am not confused. ”

Liu Zhisi said to Li Keding, because he had already moved in his heart because he saw the foreshadowing of 'Youlu', and now when he heard his grandfather say this, he suddenly felt hot on his face.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yin already understood, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, in the past year, I have secretly pondered more than 30 sons of various families who are the same age as you, and only Li Keding is suitable for you." As long as I like it, grandpa will definitely help you do it. ”

Liu Zhisi changed his previous maturity and complained to Liu Yin: "However, he and the second lady of the Lu family are getting along." ”

Liu Yin patted Liu Zhisi's slender little hand, her eyes were full of pity, and she looked at her with a smile: "So what? In my opinion, he and the young lady of the Lu family are just children's tricks, and they can't be taken seriously. Besides, what is Miss Lu Jia, she is the Chang'e in the sky, how can she compare with my thoughts. After saying that, he laughed proudly.

Liu Zhisi was even more ashamed, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, you are not allowed to laugh." Besides, people have only seen him a few times, why do they talk about this? ”
