Destined? Shen Ao was taken aback, he would rather have a relationship with Jesus and his old man than a relationship with the Buddha. Believe in Jesus, at least there is little Lori Zhengtai to adjust her life, as for the Buddha, let's kill Shen Ao.

Shen Ao was silent, reluctantly pulled out a faint smile, and said, "The Zen master has a good reputation." ”

Kongding said: "The donor from Dali also said that he will go to the Central Plains this year, and he is eager to see Shen Gongzi, if Shen Gongzi is free, don't refuse." ”

Shen Ao responded, seeing that Fan Zhiyi and the others were almost resting, Shi Xiaohu came over with a burden and red eyes, so he got up and said goodbye to Kongding and Kongjing. He took a few bowers and waited outside, knowing that Shi Xiaohu and the two masters still had something to say.

Fan Zhiyi and the others knew that they were going to run back to Bianjing again, and they couldn't help but cry out in their hearts, but fortunately, they had just eaten some refreshments and recovered some strength, otherwise they would have to collapse if they really taught them to run back.

After waiting for a long time, Shi Xiaohu came out slowly with tears in his eyes, reluctantly under the arch guard of Kongding and Kongjing, Shen Ao took him, and was about to go down the mountain, Kongding and Kongjing stood under the stone steps, looking at Shen Ao and Shi Xiaohu walking farther and farther, they were all gloomy.

Shi Xiaohu cried like a tearful person, and from time to time he turned back and waved to Kongding and Kongjing: "Master...... Uncle Shi ...... "After taking a few steps, I looked back."

Shen Ao couldn't help but comfort: "Okay, okay, don't cry, come down the mountain with me, you rub like this, I don't know when you will be able to go down the mountain, and it's not a life and death, the temple is only twenty miles away from Bianjing, looking for some space, you often come back to visit the master and uncle." ”

Shi Xiaohu whimpered: "I don't know anything, but Master and Uncle said that this is the case when parting, not only to cry, but also to turn around and wave, if I don't do this, Master must punish me." ”

Shen Ao was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say: "The two Zen masters have good methods, this kind of discipline is really eye-opening." Then he scolded him and said, "This is your master and uncle lying to you, do you see if your master and uncle are crying?" ”

Shi Xiaohu looked back and saw that the two closest people were standing in a daze, watching him gradually leave, he shook his head and said, "It seems that I haven't cried." ”

Shen Ao said: "That's it, you see, they didn't cry, what are you crying about, it's better like this, I will bring you to this temple in the future, how about it?" As he spoke, he proudly talked about the prosperity of Bianjing City, of course, the most important thing was about the rock sugar gourd and the sugar man, Shi Xiaohu listened to it and asked expectantly: "Then can I eat it every day?" He stopped crying, but his eyes were still a little swollen.

Shen Ao smiled: "Yes, don't worry, I will always be unable to treat you badly." ”

Go down to the mountain gate, the peach blossoms bloom in the peach forest under the mountain gate, many pilgrims go down the mountain, they go into the peach forest to feel the beautiful scenery of this flower, Shen Ao looked at the lush, fragrant peach forest at a glance, knowing that the peach blossoms will not bloom for too long, next time I come, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see this beautiful scenery.

With Shi Xiaohu on horseback, the guests began to run and slowly return to the city. When Shi Xiaohu saw the appearance of Fan Zhiyi and the others, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Shen, what are they doing?" ”

Shen Ao's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Xiaohu, I have something to teach you to do in advance, from Ming Ming, how about you supervise their running for me?" ”

…………………………………………………………………… After a few days, Shen Ao has become a shopkeeper, and the training of the guests has all been handed over to Shi Xiaohu, Shi Xiaohu is a little warrior monk, and it is not a matter of urging them, and every time he says that he can let Shi Xiaohu go to the temple once, which somewhat relieves Shi Xiaohu's thoughts about his master and uncle.

Shen Ao rested in the mansion for a few days, and went to the Flower Pavilion, Zhen Zhen heard that Shen Ao was giving porridge and rice, so she said that she was idle in the Flower Pavilion and wanted to help, Shen Ao hurriedly shook his head, he is now in debt, a Chun'er in the Yashan House, a young lady in the Tang family, and a Zhen Zhen in the Flower Pavilion, who knows what will happen when they get together.

Tang Mo'er and Chun'er have a close relationship, but when they go to the Yaya Mountain House, Shen Ao always feels that the two of them seem to be conspiring with something, and the eyes of the two of them look at themselves are always a little weird, these two are both simple girls, if you add an experienced Zhen Zhen, three women in one play, this kind of thing is still avoided to be beneficial to yourself.

Tang Mo'er was not at home because he went to the Yaya Mountain House, so Shen Ao was not interested in borrowing books and returning books, but went to the Jin Wangfu a few times, all of which were to test the results, if he bumped into the King of Jin, he would perfunctory a few words, the King of Jin saw that he had nothing to do, and handed over everything to a little monk, and he didn't know what Shen Ao's idea was for a while, and he thought that Shen Ao was just bluffing, but for a while he thought that Shen Caizi had always played cards out of common sense, and he had his own style, and maybe he had the ability to press the bottom of the box.

After raising his spirit, Shen Ao suddenly became restless again, and even said that he made a few articles on scriptures and righteousness and sent them to Chen Ji, Chen Ji saw him coming, although his face was displeased, but Shen Ao saw that his heart was still happy, especially for a food box carried by Shen Ao, which was even more welcome.

Putting down the food box, Shen Ao handed in the two articles of scripture and righteousness first, Chen Ji looked at it, frowned, and said, "Haven't you read books in the past few days?" ”

Shen Aoda is ashamed, his heart is still too wild, although he reads and concentrates on reading, but he is crazy enough to play, especially after a palace test, he is full of relaxation, so he just thinks about playing a few more days, and the book has not been touched for a long time.

Chen Ji sighed: "Studying is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, you fish for three days and dry nets for two days, how can you progress in your studies?" Let's go, I know about you, I just finished the palace exam, so I should take it easy. He stroked his beard, pointed out a few mistakes in Shen Ao's article, and said: "A few days ago, I figured out a problem, you can look at it and see what way you can come up with to solve the problem." ”

Shen Ao sat upright and said busily: "Please ask Mr. for advice." ”

Chen Jidao: "What is the difference between the emperor's government and the emperor's heart? ”

Shen Ao pondered for a moment and said, "There doesn't seem to be such an allusion in the four books. ”

Chen Ji smiled: "It's a good question, but what does it matter if it's from the four books?" ”

Shen Ao understood, no wonder he felt jerky about this topic, it turned out that this topic was not from the Four Books. In fact, there are various changes in the meaning of the scriptures, although the official imperial examinations are very strict to find test questions from the Four Books and Five Classics, but in private, there are many cases of extracting test questions from other books, and many readers take pleasure in this, so as to exercise their ability to solve problems.

The Government of Kings and the Heart of Kings? Shen Ao slowly realized the meaning of this topic, which should mean the relationship between the policies implemented by the king and the heart of the king. After understanding the meaning, Shen Ao knew the difficulty of this topic, and it was naturally very easy to solve this topic, but if he encountered this test question in the imperial examination, it would be difficult to do.

This topic can be roughly divided into two ways to solve the problem, one is exhortation, that is, students can write a scripture that borrows from the past and the present with the government and heart of the king. The consequence of this is that it is easy to lose the name of Sun Shan, you must know that the emperor is most disgusted, that is, the ministers, Qu Yuan jumped into the river, Bigan dissected his heart, Wu Zixu was killed, and Wei Zheng, who was famous in history, was actually hated by Tang Taizong.

The problem comes out, a candidate, not even an official, so he wrote an emperor with enthusiasm, you want to do benevolent government, you look at how the king of the people is finished, how the king of Wu committed suicide, how the king of Chu was destroyed, this is repayable, you are a scourge, so, even if this kind of scripture is written, no matter how flowery, most of them are only famous for Sun Shan, the emperors are not very good-tempered, even if they meet the emperor with a good temper, but the examiner is not stupid, who dares to admit candidates like you?

It's not good to solve the problem in this way!

As for the second way to solve the problem, it is to pat a fart freely, saying that Your Majesty is very benevolent, so you have done good governance...... Bah...... Don't say that this kind of explicit sycophant Shen Ao can't be filmed, but he really wrote it, and after being admitted to the test paper and becoming an official, most of them will be ridiculed by Shilin, and he can't hold his head up among his colleagues for the rest of his life.

How to be impartial, not too much to touch the tiger's buttocks, but not too shameless, just like walking a tightrope, one is not good, or the future is lost, or it is spurned.

Shen Ao hesitated for a long time, and finally came up with a way to solve the problem: "When the minister hears that the emperor is in control of the universe, there must be the actual government of the manager, and then he can restrain the crowd, and there are all kinds of intricacies, so that Yongxi will rule; There must be a solid heart of advocating the rate, and then you can quench the hundreds of workers, vibrate the general affairs, and have the principle of Zhenzhilong. Shen Ao said: "Sir, I don't know if it's okay to solve the problem like this?" ”

The gist of this sentence is: I have heard that when the emperor comes to rule the country, there must be a practical way to govern the country, and then he can restrain his subjects, and only then can he obtain prosperous and peaceful governance; It is necessary to have a practical idea of governing the country that advocates and leads the country, and then it is possible to hone and motivate the officials, revitalize and reform various affairs, and achieve very prosperous governance.

To put it bluntly, solving the problem is just an empty word, and it is a big truth on the surface, but it is actually not interesting at all. Shen Ao glanced at Chen Ji cautiously, and thought to himself: "This is the best way I can come up with to solve the problem, although it is all empty words, but I finally avoided those two traps, according to Mr. Chen's surname, I am afraid that I will be scolded for a bloody meal." ”

Who knew that Chen Ji shook his head and chewed Shen Ao's words, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, Shen Ao, you finally understand what is called a Jingyi article." ”

Shen Ao was stunned: "Please sir." ”

Chen Ji glanced at Shen Ao appreciatively: "Jingyi articles are such sacred words for readers, but in the old man's opinion, the so-called Jingyi is actually just empty words, and this point, only a real master of Jingyi can see through, Shen Ao, you remember, do Jingyi, you must not bring your own emotions into it, just follow the format, write out the views in the middle of the rules, and pile up rhetoric." As for the rest, it's all fart. ”

He spit on a fart word, and said with a wry smile: "My generation reads the book of sages, but if Sage Confucius knows that the students of later generations are like this, I am afraid that he will already be angry." The so-called scriptures and meanings do not have any great truth, and you don't have to write any avenues from it, just remember that this is your stepping stone, a stepping stone, with it, you can enter the Golden Palace, to complete your ambitions. ”

"Hey, could it be that this Mr. Chen also traveled through time, why is his point of view somewhat similar to that of later generations." Shen Ao glanced at Chen Ji strangely, seeing that he looked like he had seen through the world, and thought to himself, this is the loyal and straightforward Chen Ji, not like, really not like, there is such wisdom hidden in his chest and abdomen, with such insight, but why would he do such a stupid thing? He should know how to be flexible, doesn't he know that he is destroying his future by doing so?

Chen Ji seemed to understand what Shen Ao wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "Do you want to ask the old man why he wanted to speak out in the first place?" ”

Shen Ao nodded.

Chen Ji said with a smile: "At that time, the old man was living in Hanlin, except for waiting for the edict, he could only read books to entertain himself, but the Cai Party had reached the most domineering time, and no one in the court dared to complain to them in the slightest, even the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Wei Jun, they could only protect themselves. The old man thought to himself, since he couldn't fulfill his ambitions, instead of being trapped in the Hanlin Courtyard for the rest of his life, it would be better to do something earth-shattering......"

Shen Ao understood that Chen Ji was actually just the role of a martyr, he understood what he was doing, but he had to do it, so he stood up and said in front of all the submissive courtiers that many people would not dare to say in their lifetime.

Shen Ao remembered that after the year of Chen Jizhishi, Cai Jing also followed him, although Cai Jing was enabled again later, but his strength was not as good as before.

It turned out that this was the case, Chen Ji was just a bird, he stood up and let more people gain courage, so after Chen Ji, the impeachment of Cai Jing fell on Zhao Ji's desk like snowflakes, on the surface, Chen Ji lost, but Cai Jing was also hit hard at the same time, Shilin talked about it, and the ministers were secretly surging, at this time, Cai Jing in addition to restraint, never dared to risk the world's disapproval to attack political opponents. And in the second year, he was overshadowed, which caused the Cai Party to suffer an unprecedented blow. Although it has risen again since then, its strength has long been much worse than before.

Chen Ji smiled slightly: "Do you understand?" ”

Shen Ao laughed: "Mr. Chen is the same wherever he studies, because what Mr. Chen seeks is not wealth, so studying at the Hanlin Academy is no different from studying here." It's a pity that Cai Jing thinks he has taken revenge on you, but in fact, the real biggest loser is himself. ”

"Teachable!" Chen Ji's face flushed slightly, and he said with a little excitement: "It's not in vain that I teach you, I have a book here, you can take it and read it, your foundation of scripture and righteousness is already solid, after reading this book, there is no scripture and righteousness in the world that can stump you." ”
