In addition to compiling the "Essentials", the three of them also had to go to work, and the time was really insufficient, so they omitted the section of Guang Si Tan's preaching. Although Xia Yuanlong promised in person, but in private, it was not a good thing, so he found Wei Huai and discussed: "I think that although the preaching section is exempted, my brother must not live in the depths. ”

Wei Huai asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"If the people concentrate on compiling the "Essentials", do not intersect with the people, and do not issue an order, I am afraid that the people's hearts will gradually disperse, and the prestige will not exist." Xia Yuanlong admonished.

"Then ......," Wei Huai glanced at him, "you can't just throw away the matter of writing a strategy for this, right?" ”

"The most important thing now is to strengthen my momentum and expand my people, it is better to slow down, and don't miss the opportunity because of hesitation."

Wei Huai remembered the incident of letting go of Wan Heshun yesterday, so he didn't think about it, and replied with his chin: "Then let's slow down this matter first." It's just that I don't know what heroic deeds Renying has? ”

"I think," Xia Yuanlong said, "since our momentum has been consolidated in Nanjing, we should go to the provinces south of the Yangtze River to gather people and order the people of Jianghuai to open 'Sihe Academy' everywhere to spread the way of the new policy." If it comes to this point, it is expected that Wan Heshun will not dare to act rashly. ”

"Renying is thinking about it very much!" Wei Huai first clapped his hands and praised, but then became worried, "This matter must be talked to Zhong Fang." It would not be proper to act without his consent. But I'm afraid he won't agree......"

Xia Yuanlong smiled: "Zhong Fangyan has a reason to refuse? I'll ask him and promise to bring a good letter back to Brother Wei! ”

"Then let's go." Wei Huai said.

Xia Yuanlong left the academy, dismounted in front of Yang Huai's rope mansion, entered the house, and when he saw Yang Huai's rope, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhong Fang! And the people have called me to consult with you about one thing, and I wonder if I can do it. ”

"It doesn't hurt."

"It's that Brother Wei wants people to go to the provinces south of the Yangtze River to entrap scholars and build academies, thinking that it is a move to 'recruit troops and buy horses', and now you have discussed it, just wait for Zhong Fang to nod and agree here." Xia Yuanlong stepped forward and grabbed Yang Huai's hand and said.

Yang Huaisheng didn't think so, he spread his arm, and said with a serious face: "I see that your methods have some drawbacks!" It's better to accept this thought early! ”

"Brother Zhong Fang," Xia Yuanlong still smiled at him, "Tell me what are the disadvantages of this?" ”

Yang Huaisheng shook his head: "I tell you, if you don't cultivate virtue and etiquette, it will be a great disaster to call people in vain." If you really want to do great things, you should lead the people to learn the etiquette and teaching, and then try to do it. If you can't do it, you might as well write the "Essentials" with your head bored. ”

"Zhong ......" Xia Yuanlong wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Yang Huaixian: "I have a heart, and I will never agree!" ”

He was depressed in his heart, but he had no choice but to make a gesture to him: "Since Brother Yang is not very happy, then I will give Jimin a reply." ”

"That's good, brother Xian, go!" Yang Huaisheng said with a smile.

Xia Yuanlong was walking to the bamboo corridor not far from Wei Huai's hall, and when he saw Wei Huai sitting on a recliner from here, he slowly stopped and wandered in the corridor. After wandering for a long time, he immediately had an idea and walked straight to the hall.

"Brother Yingxian, what does Zhong Fang mean?" Wei Huai got up from his chair and leaned against the door and asked.

Xia Yuanlong approached with a smile: "Zhong Fang...... Zhong Fang, he promised happily! The three of us really thought about it! ”

Wei Huai had never seen Xia Yuanlong so elated, and he couldn't help but have a little suspicion: "Really? ”

"Oh...... Oh, yes. When Xia Yuanlong heard his question, his heart suddenly changed, and he quickly changed his head: "Then invite all the Confucians to come to the academy early tomorrow morning to discuss, and it is estimated that they will not object." ”

"Yes......" Wei Huaigang wanted to nod, but felt that something was not quite right, and frowned: "I reported to my superiors on leave, but Brother Zhong Fang still has to go to Guozijian to be on duty...... So how did he come early in the morning? It might as well be changed to dusk. ”

"Brother Zhong Fang has thought about it," Xia Yuanlong secretly clutched the sweat in his hand, "said...... It would be better to say that the matter had been settled earlier, so that there was no need to wait for him. ”

Wei Huai stared into his eyes: "That...... All right. ”

After finishing the affairs of the academy, Wei Huai took the manuscript of "Xingyao" and wanted to return to the mansion to compile it; And Xia Yuanlong stayed in the academy and stayed here.

It was night, but Yang Huaisheng felt cold due to the heavy rain that had been drenched overnight yesterday, and he became ill at this time. He wanted to sleep all night, but he had a headache, so he had to sit up, write a letter of leave, and ask someone to hand it to the prison; I invited Lang Zhong and prescribed a prescription, and I ate it that night, and then I endured the pain and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, although my body was still sick, my spirit had recovered a lot. He ate hastily and was about to lie down for a while, when he suddenly remembered that there was still a matter of compiling the "Xingyao", so he hurriedly drank a bowl of medicinal soup, changed his clothes, and hurried to the academy.

"Mr. Yang! I don't look very good at you...... Aren't you going to Guozijian? When the gatekeeper saw Yang Huaisheng coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and stepped forward to help him.

"Where is the need for foot support? I'll walk on my own. Yang Huaixian smiled lightly, "I'm just slightly infected with the wind cold, so I don't care." ”

"That's why you didn't go to prison?" The doorman followed him into the courtyard and asked behind him.

"Yes...... Yang Huaisheng walked along, and suddenly stopped moving. Alas, the courtyard is so deserted today...... Why doesn't anyone move? ”

"You don't know?" The gatekeeper came up and said, "Didn't Mr. Wei invite the great Confucian of Nanjing to come over to discuss things, and they are all staying in Sihetang." ”

"Things?!" Yang Huaixian turned his head in surprise, his hands suddenly pressed on his shoulders, and his eyes widened: "Say it clearly!" ”

The man trembled with fright, and hurriedly said, "Why should Mr. Yang ......?"

"You don't know!" Yang Huaixian pushed him again, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask them myself!" ”

This anger aroused his anger to rise to his eyebrows, and he strode through the corridor and ran towards Sihetang.

In the hall, Xia Yuanlong was talking and laughing with everyone, and Wei Huaigang sat down on the chair in the west and coughed.

"Ahem......"

When everyone heard this, the whole room was silent and fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Wei Huai, have been concentrating on cultivation since yesterday, and I have no intention of calling on the public again. But when I heard that the people of the provinces had admired the new policy for a long time, I should also discuss it......"

"Wei Huai!" Outside the house, there was a sudden interruption of his words.

Wei Huai raised his head and saw that Yang Huai was standing in front of the hall, his face was purple. He has always regarded Yang Huai as a person who knows the courtesy, but now when he heard him call his name and surname, he was also annoyed, and glanced at him: "You have something to say, where do you have so much temper!" ”

Yang Huaisheng sneered: "You know that I didn't agree, and you still discuss this matter from me, who is not straight to say!" ”

Wei Huai was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what was going on, and his head hurt for a while.

"Brother Yang is calm and calm first...... It's my fault, and I have nothing to do with the people. ”

Xia Yuanlong stood up from the crowd and said.
