An inconspicuous alley in the southwest corner of the east square of the capital, named Xuejia Hutong. It was named after the former residence of a celebrity or official surnamed Xue, and no one knows the actual situation.

It's just that the dozen or so families living in this alley are no longer surnamed Xue, and the alleys are narrow and old, and the houses on both sides are also old houses, with wet mottled marks on the walls, and there are a lot of withered grass destroyed by ice and snow in the cracks, which are wet and sticky to the walls. The main color in the alley is gray and white, and the cold wind through the alley is whistling, standing here, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, and I just want to leave as soon as possible.

However, this is not the case, in this dilapidated alley, there are many people coming and going, and none of these people are dressed as ordinary people. Some of them have Confucian shirts and square scarves, some are luxurious and graceful, and some are wearing red and scarlet, which can roughly judge their identity, and they are officials, rich and noble, and scholars.

All the people came and went in and out of an old courtyard gate at the end of the alley, and it was the only place in the alley of different colors, and the verdant and vigorous green bamboo that emerged from the courtyard wall was the only fresh place in the gray and cold alley.

Song Nan stood at the mouth of the alley in a cotton robe, looking like an ordinary Confucian student, and the people who came and went did not recognize that the young man in the cotton robe in front of him was Song Nan, the prince of Zhenguo who was now in power.

"That mansion is Wang Shouren's mansion in Beijing?" Song Nan asked in a low voice.

Sun Xuan, who was dressed as an ordinary old man beside him, nodded and said: "Yes, Wang Shouren's mansion in Beijing is the only one, and there should be nothing wrong with seeing the endless flow of people coming and going." These are the people who came to listen to his teachings. ”

Song Nan nodded, stepped into the alley, followed the two Confucian scholars to the green bamboo swaying mansion, although he had already met Wang Shouren many years ago, but at that time Wang Shouren was just Wang Shouren, a small official of the military department, and now he has become the prince of Daming Town, Wang Shouren is not idle, in addition to being inferior to himself in terms of fame, but he has become an academic leader.

In fact, at this moment, Song Nan's heart still admires Wang Shouren, although his success is based on five hundred years of knowledge, and Wang Shouren is really relying on real skills, philosophical and theoretical things have never been Song Nan's strength, Wang Shouren can create a philosophical doctrine that stands side by side with Cheng Zhu Lixue, no matter from which point of view, this person can only be described in two words: awesome!

The two Confucian students in front of them suddenly stopped in front of the simple courtyard gate, looked at each other and tidied up their clothes and appearances, as if they were going to meet the old man, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time and thought it was appropriate, and then stepped on the steps and knocked lightly.

The courtyard door creaked open, a young servant poked his head out, and two Confucian scholars saluted: "I'm bothered, Shandong Chen Wanfang Li Chengyuan came to see Mr. Yangming, and asked the honorable driver to report on his behalf." ”

The servant also saluted: "Unfortunately, the two of you, Mr. is already ready to take a nap, more than a dozen groups of people came in the morning, Mr. is tired, why don't you come back another day, Mr. has not rested well in the past few days." ”

The two Confucian scholars looked disappointed, but they still bowed their hands and said humbly: "I see, then I will come back tomorrow to visit and bother and disturb." ”

The servant said, "Thank you for your understanding, please be early tomorrow." ”

The two Confucian scholars bowed again and turned down the steps to pass by Song Nan, and the servant in the door had already seen Song Nan and Sun Xuan, and asked suspiciously: "The two of you are also here to meet Mr.?" The gentleman is not a guest at the moment. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "The two of us have something important to visit Mr. Yangming, I don't know if I can say it." ”

The servant shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, Mr. is very tired, and besides, you people don't understand the rules of Mr., the afternoon is the time for Mr. to rest, and in the afternoon, Mr. has official business and works to be busy, so he will never see guests, so please go back." ”

After saying that, he retracted his head and was about to close the door, but Sun Xuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to prevent the servant from closing the door, and the servant said angrily: "Why are you so rude? ”

Before Sun Xuan could speak, Song Nan had already handed over a piece of paper, which was a silver ticket of one hundred taels; The servant's eyes were shining, but his mouth said, "What is this?" What is this for? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "After a lot of work, I said that a student named Song Nan came to visit, if Mr. Yangming is gone, we will turn around and leave." Whether you see it or not, this little meaning is given to you, hard brother. ”

The servant stared at the silver ticket with a hundred taels of silver and obviously struggled, both indignant at Song Nan's naked temptation, but also attracted by the huge amount of silver with a hundred taels of silver, you need to know that his monthly salary is only three taels, as long as he stretches out his hand, it is equivalent to three years of wages for nothing, and the life of the family is immediately turned upside down.

"Well, if you don't want me, I won't force it, but we'll come back tomorrow morning, so as not to embarrass you." Song Nan smiled and slowly pulled the silver ticket back from the crack in the door, seeing that the silver ticket was about to leave him, the servant couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand and grabbed it like lightning, put it in his arms, and said, "Wait." Then he turned around and walked quickly.

Song Nan smiled slightly, looked at the back of the servant and seemed to say to himself: "But Er'er, it doesn't seem to be so magical." ”

Sun Xuan was puzzled: "What do you mean, adult?" ”

Song Nan said: "I mean, Mr. Yang Ming can't even abandon the greed of a doorman in his own house, and the outside world is rumored to be how his mind is learning, but I have some insight." ”

Sun Xuan laughed and said: "You are too much, there is such a test, but it is also said that the people around you can't be edified, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to justify yourself." ”

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the servant came in a hurry, panting for breath, and came to Song Nan and Sun Xuan and said unspeakably: "Two, the villain is all right, and the gentleman said that he can't see you." ”

Sun Xuan was stunned and said, "Don't see? ”

"Yes, the gentleman said he couldn't see you."

Sun Xuan said suspiciously: "Don't you swallowed the silver and didn't report it, just run to make a show." ”

The servant said angrily, "What do you say, am I that kind of person?" As this boy said just now, whether the gentleman sees it or not, he gave me the money, but I really gave it to the gentleman. ”

Sun Xuan said: "Did you say the name Song Nan?" ”

The servant said: "Yes, Mr. said that everyone else can make an exception to see him, but this Song Nan is the only one, but he is resolutely not seen." ”

Sun Xuan looked like Song Nan, Song Nan smiled slightly embarrassedly and said: "It seems that I have a bad impression in the minds of others, I can't help it, I don't know I'm so annoying." ”

Sun Xuan said: "Then what now?" ”

Song Nan smiled: "What else can I do?" Hard-hitting? If you don't want to give a face, then don't give a face. ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and pushed the two doors wide open, and when he raised his foot and crossed the threshold, the servant exclaimed, "You are so bold, dare to break into Mr. Yangming's private house?" Who are you? ”

Several servants also came from all over the courtyard, each shouting and shouting. Sun Xuan reached into his waist and took out a waist card, held it high, and said: "Song Nan, the prince of Daming Town, cooperated with me, Daming Jinyi, Weinan Town, Fusi, and Sun Xuan came to see the governor of Gannan Wang Shouren Wang to discuss official business, and they all stepped down for me." ”

As soon as the identity was revealed, the servants almost peed their pants in fright, and they didn't dare to approach one by one, and the two clever ones had already gone to the inner house to inform Wang Yangming, Song Nan walked all the way into the main hall with his hands, sat on the Taishi chair and waved his hand: "Isn't it rude to entertain guests at Lord Wang's house?" Why doesn't anyone come to warm up with a cup of hot tea? ”

A servant was busy making tea, and as soon as he was placed in front of Song Nan, he heard a majestic cough from behind the hall, and a deep voice came: "Zhenguo Gong and Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Si Zhen Fu came to the door, but what big thing did the old man commit?" ”

The words fell, the curtain was lifted, and a man in a black robe appeared in the hall with more than forty people, Song Nan looked up, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, vaguely saw the appearance of the year, but there were a lot of wrinkles on the face, and the beard was also all over the cheeks and lips, much older, but he revealed an indescribable majesty and confidence.

This is the great Confucian Wang Shouren of the time, a great thinker and philosopher Wang Shouren, who has been talked about and respected by others until later generations, and stands in front of him with his eyes full of fire.

"Lord Wang, it's bothering." Song Nan got up and arched his hand.

Wang Shouren snorted coldly and said, "Zhen Guogong, did my Wang commit any crime?" ”

Song Nan smiled: "How do you say this? ”

Wang Shouren said: "Jinyiwei broke in, isn't this to get Wang?" What is it that is not sinned? ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "No, no, I just came to visit." ”

"Did you visit like that? In the eyes of your town and country, is it called a visit to a private house without invitation? It's the first time I've seen Wang live so big. ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "Lord Wang, I don't want to be like this, whoever told you to see me Song Nan is like seeing a snake and scorpion, and everyone can see me Song Nan is the only one, and I can only enter uninvited." ”

Wang Shouren sneered: "It's my freedom to see who I don't see, even if you are the prince of Zhenguo, you can't control my likes and dislikes." ”

Song Nan said lightly: "That's nature, I don't want to care about it at all." You don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you either. ”

Wang Shouren said angrily: "Then please ask the prince of Zhenguo to do his own thing." ”

Song Nan's face drooped, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Although I don't want to see you, but I have to give up my personal likes and dislikes to care about the affairs of the court, I didn't come to see you to be a brother and brother, I have important official affairs to discuss, Lord Wang is now a great Confucian in the world, but he is also my Ming official, I came to see you for the affairs of the court." You are derelict in not seeing me, is it wrong for me to kick in your door? ”

Wang Shouren's face was ugly, and he held back his anger and said: "When you tell the truth, Wang has seen it." ”

Song Nan smiled softly and said: "Lord Wang, you and I don't have to be so tense, I haven't offended you, let's talk about official business, I came to you in person, you should know that this is not a trivial matter." ”

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, waved his hand and ordered: "Serve tea, watch the seat." ”
