Lu Province

Lu Hou and the two of them are quietly living in a bamboo room, which is simple, but extremely quiet and elegant.

There is nothing in the room, only a few, a few scriptures are placed on the several, and there is a raindrop vase, with several flowers, sparse a few pieces, it is already elegant and pleasant.

The sound of the piano flowed in the room, and the sound was in the ears, as if it was joyful, and it seemed to be confiding, but it was a girl in a light purple skirt opposite, kneeling cross-legged, moving without wind, holding hands, twisting, wiping, and picking.

After a while, the song ended, the sound gradually stopped, the remaining song was still there, and Lu Shulan withdrew his hand.

"Okay, good, your piano skills are really getting better and better." Lu Hou laughed and said, "Daoist Xuanda, Mr. Huang, what do you think?" ”

A Taoist priest around smiled silently, if Fang Xin saw it, he should know that it was the Taoist priest who returned to his hometown from the provincial capital and met halfway, but at this time, this Taoist priest has also changed, and if he doesn't move, there is that strong sense of dust.

"It's good!" Mr. Huang is the great Confucian Huang Shaoyang, and he has no opinion on Lu Hou's words, just a plain sentence.

Lu Shulan bent down and saluted, serving tea for the three of them, and after serving tea, she retreated a little gloomily, although she was Lu Hou's daughter, but on some occasions, she was not allowed to participate.

Seeing her retreat, Lu Hou sighed and said, "Idiot! ”

The three of them then tasted tea and sat in a room, at this time, in early summer and June, the sun sprinkled through the corridor, the fragrance of tea was faint, and for a while, it was as quiet as no one. After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Hou finally picked up a book and said, "Mr. Huang, what do you think of this book of benevolent rites?" ”

From January 16 to June 20, Fang Xin wrote the final draft for a full 151 days, and according to etiquette. It was given to Lu Hou, Huang Shaoyang, and Cheng Xuzhi.

Huang Shaoyang said flatly: "This book, Li Shiyu has personally presented it to me, but I haven't read it yesterday, but this morning, I have already read it, and it was Mr. Cheng who showed it to me." It is said that yesterday, Mr. Cheng got this book, and when he finished reading it, he trembled with joy, and when he finished reading the whole book, he shouted wonderful. He came to see me in the morning and called Li Rui the true seed of a scholar who has succeeded the orthodoxy of the sages and sages for 500 years! ”

"What about Mr. Huang, what is your opinion?"

Huang Shaoyang smiled and took out the book first. Read: "The sages often speak and rarely speak strangely. Virtue and less power, rule and less chaos, people and less God, He also, respect the destiny of heaven and do his best, people are not heaven. What a day. People are not the land, how can they be said. People are not ghosts and gods, and ghosts and gods are right and wrong? ”

"It is the way of a gentleman, its foundation is in people, its merits are in people, its nature is in people, and the reason of ups and downs, ups and downs, movements, life and death in the poor world, but the great benevolence and great gift are in the heart, and the heart should be established for heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, and for the eternal peace!"

"The light of heaven and earth is greater than the sun and the moon, the reason of humanity is greater than benevolence, I don't know the height of heaven and earth, I don't know the succession of benevolence for thousands of generations, and those who become my will, only they have no regrets and are not ashamed, so, Duan Yan can say benevolence, benevolence loves people, etiquette order, the way of sages, the key to humanity, has been in it, when it is wider than the people of all ages and all nations, yin and yang, to edify, to open the avenue, Xingzai Siyan!"

"The gas of heaven and earth, the distribution of impermanence, circulation of hundreds of domains, but the humane dwells in the middle, between the pitch, the world is vast, the personnel has been a trace of the past in a blink of an eye, can not help but rejoice in its awe, but although death and life can be said to be great, although there are ups and downs in the merits, hold the road and walk, and finally die without regrets, it is not enough to make the gentleman fearful!"

"Confucius said, I would rather know what I can't do, Mencius said, although there are tens of millions of people and I go to it, read this humane will, raise this heroic spirit, although a hundred and ten years, especially do not know that old age is coming!"

After reading the first page, he put down the book and replied: "Only the great benevolence and great gift in the heart, should be for the heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace, just by this sentence, I know that Li Ruizhen is really a rare genius in a hundred years...... Originally, the scripture examination paper, I also read it myself, there is merit, but I didn't think that it was less than a year, and it was so diligent, as soon as this book came out, the meaning of the sages was clear to the world, and this son was only twenty years old, which was really a gifted talent...... It's just that the rhetoric is subtle and inherent, and the idea is also high, but in the words, there seem to be some impure and unfamiliar meanings, which really confuse me. ”

This is indeed to the point, Fang Xin has indeed realized the essence of Confucius and Mencius, it can be said that he has done his best, but after all, he has only been able to achieve Taoism for a short time, so there is still sparseness in the words, but this is only a problem in the writing and words, and it has nothing to do with the main purpose, and it will be naturally purified in the future.

"Twenty years old, and there is sparseness between the words, it is normal, but the gist of it, although it is not a vein, the poor road is still admired, this mere volume of scriptures, but 30,000, but it has become a meteor of its own." Taoist Xuanda said, with some emotion, in his eyes, this mere 30,000-word scripture is not a simple scripture.

It was a piece of light, and in the midst of the brightness, the golden characters were whirling, and as soon as it passed, it had spread the light throughout the room, so that the whole room was completely obscure.

Lu Hou couldn't see this kind of weather, but he did understand what the strange man said, and after a moment of silence, he said with a smile: "In this case, Ben Hou really wants to help him!" ”

As he spoke, a sneer appeared, and he raised his voice and said, "Summons Mr. Yan to Benhou." ”

"Yes!" There was an echo outside.

"Subordinates meet Master Hou!" There was not much time, Yan Min, who was still dressed in literati clothes, came in to salute, and in the past few years, he has been much more cautious.

"Li Rui wrote a book and said, but there are some merits, in this case, Ben Hou will also help him, you take the book back to see Li Rui, just say that Ben Hou is willing to support his printing, the first printing of 10,000 volumes, and, Mr. Huang and Mr. Cheng, can be the preface."

"Understood, I'll do it!" Yan Min replied respectfully, and when his eyes turned to the two people present, his heart was a pang, and he turned to the book, which changed color slightly, and he withdrew after taking the book.

As soon as he walked out, he sighed, in recent years, Lu Hou's trust in him has not been what it used to be, which made him secretly vigilant.

The June wind was blowing, and he walked under a tree not far from the outer hall, thinking of Lu Hou's calm eyes, he who was familiar with Lu Hou's mind, he was already weak, Yan Min looked straight at the trees, people were still walking, and all kinds of thoughts came together.

After thinking about it for a while, suddenly, when he thought of Lu Shulan, he felt an inexplicable pain suddenly rise in his heart, and he was very surprised by this, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Step out the door and the sun shines down......

"Back then, in the imperial capital, due to the relatively high status of the master and the relationship between the six divisions and the yamen, he was able to read the extremely important files, as well as the skills of a large number of strange people, in that building, the people and even the wealthy families, there were countless secret martial arts methods, and in each sealed file, it was possible to obtain an amazing secret or strange learning."

"I have talent, so not only can I understand a lot of martial arts, but also open my spiritual eyes, and get the ability to hope for qi, at that time, for a while, it seems that the world can go to the clouds, but now, I know, even if I read the wonders of the Wan family, what is the use, the road to the top master, is still such a narrow line!"

"Yuan is not as good as fine, fine is not as good as life, the more you know, the more you feel powerless, over the years, even if you have miraculous feats, if Lu Hou wants to kill himself, as long as he doesn't care about the court, he can do it at any time, and he wants to fight back, but he is difficult, he can count people, he can't count himself, his life is also, he can count it!"

Who can understand this feeling of being hidden in the house and powerless? Although he has all kinds of talents, but in terms of identity, maybe a person outside is much more noble than him, thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, if he hadn't been introduced into the Yamen of the Six Divisions back then, then he could at least live in the sun!

Feeling that his thoughts were already very dangerous, Yan Min retracted his thoughts, and concentrated on the current affairs, Huang Shaoyang and Cheng Xuzhi are both famous Confucians in the south, of course, not the top, but they are also very influential, disciples, have a wide influence, with their recommendation, coupled with the operation of Lu Houdi, this book has been affected by the southern Shilin in a short period of time, and it is not a problem.

As the foreman of Congjiang Mansion, he really wanted to meet Li Rui, while thinking about his thoughts, he unconsciously showed a self-deprecating sneer, and when he got outside, he saw the two of them greeting him, he regained his calm and calm demeanor, and said: "Go to Li Jue's Mansion!" ”

The carriage galloped for an afternoon, and at dusk, it had already arrived at Li Jue's Mansion, reported his name, and was immediately received.

"Mr. Yan, please come in." A government soldier saluted and said, although it was not the first time he saw it, Yan Min still shrank in his heart, this person's martial arts are really no less than the elite of the Lu Mansion.
