"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, this is what you should do, this is what a Confucian should do, the sages said, if there is no benefit, Confucius will not agree."

After that, the old man changed his tone and said: "Hmph, boy, get up and take a look at this temple, these ridiculous clan gates, they have the power of the whole world, except for the emperor who is high, no one can fight against it, do you know what you have to do?" ”

After three rounds of drinking, I didn't know that Wang Shouren was affected by this wine, so he laughed out loud, and let out wild words for a while: "The body of a mortal, open the dragon gate!" ”

The old man was a little stunned, perhaps he had not heard such wild words for many years, or he had said it in the mouth of a young man, or in the mouth of a Confucian who rebuked morality and righteousness, and laughed with Wang Shouren.

People in the world, I am afraid that no one would have thought that in a poor and remote country, there are two people who indulge in wine and despise the world's families, those families who show off their power and hold the authority of the world, as if at this moment they have become commonplace on wine.

I don't know when, or maybe it was this moment, Wang Shouren finally found his own way and his own direction in life.

That is to open the dragon gate for the poor scholars of the world, and open a door to heaven, so that those who really have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and understand the people can stand on the court and ask for a heavenly way for the people.

The old man shook his head and smiled, his eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were full of expectations for the people of the world, for the ordinary people of the world, and for this gentle and elegant young man.

The old man's voice was quite unwilling, but there was a hint of relief: "The old man has no hope of entering the court as an official again in this life, what has he done for this world?" It's not enough to be a celebrity in history, but old man, maybe the only person in the world who has witnessed you, it's very comforting to me! ”

With that, the old man looked up to the sky and laughed.

Sweeping away the original twilight, the loud sound.

I don't know when the early morning has turned into evening, and the two of them got up lazily.

The old man looked at the time of sunset, and said with a smile: "The old man has not drunk so happily for a long time, he was not interested in it before, but now he can't drink if he wants to. ”

As he spoke, the old man seemed to have thought of something.

"Hey, by the way, the old man still remembered that you didn't like to drink much, what? But do you think you've made a mistake with drinking? ”

Wang Shouren was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly: "Some wines are indeed not, but today has been a long time, and it is definitely not a wine of misconduct, at least this wine is quite delicious." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "This wine, it is indeed a mistake, the people who drink in the world are all prodigal people, and they have not been bound in any way, maybe they are immortals in the sky, so the wine comes, so it is the best thing for them in the world." ”

Wang Shouren naturally heard the inside and outside of the words, nodded with a smile and said: "Wine is wrong, the kid has his own measure, and he will not disappoint the old gentleman." ”

The old man's face sank, and he looked at Wang Shouren, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and after a while, the old man took the lead in laughing, and now he was not heavy at this time.

"Boy, the old man has been fishing here for more than 20 years in his life, and the old man has been watching the calculations between those court officials all the year round, for you, this is still a far, far, far road!"

Wang Shouren naturally knew that he was a scholar of Confucianism, and he could be said to know nothing about power schemes, and he himself was a rather upright person, and he couldn't mix a grain of sand in his eyes, and he couldn't stand the greed for money and the indifference to civilians when he beat a bachelor.

"Uncle, I've been here for so many years, just to prepare for this day, and you also know that the old man has always been alone in the humble room, never married a wife, let alone had no heirs, in order not to affect anyone in the future."

"Today, the old man will hand over this mantle to you, one is to be an official, since you are an official, there must be an indispensable act on the spot, and anyone in this court thinks that you are the same kind of person as them, a group of out-and-out scum."

"There is also, you must learn to forbear, Your Majesty must carefully ponder when you decree that you will rise to an official position, and hold the most sober mind, sometimes you can even stay in a nine-grade small official for more than ten years, and Mr. Lian Xi contend with Mr. Lianxi, there is only one right you need, that is the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, the new emperor will take a long time to succeed to the throne can be left to you, control the court, above the court, the world of Nuoda, the court of Nuoda, people's hearts are unstable, people's hearts are not aligned, cultivate their own people, It must be both gracious and powerful, it must be ruthless enough, it will be a killer, and it must have the last trace of benevolence! ”

Let's say, the old man looked at Wang Shouren with some complications.

Needless to say, it is naturally because after Wang Shouren entered the court as an official, he would also bury his humanity with those powerful people, and completely devote himself to the court's conspiracy, and finally he couldn't get it back, so he had to leave the last way out, which was to sit and wait for destruction.

Wang Shouren said with a heavy face: "My name is Shouren, and I will definitely keep the last benevolence, and I am a very good minister, so naturally I am only for the world." ”

The old man smiled and continued: "Second, it is to learn to give up the small family to take care of everyone, which is the so-called overall situation, I know that sometimes you will never listen to the old man's words, and sometimes you will take risks for those little people, but you must remember that you must find the last way out for yourself, that is, a way out, sometimes quit the court, and then maybe there is a chance to return to the court, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood!" ”

Wang Shouren arched his hand and said respectfully: "Boy, I understand!" ”

The old man nodded, and continued: "There is also the need to learn that the water is clear and there are no fish, and the foundation is all for small profits, under the building, although many small things hurt the heavens, but it is not enough to make the building overturn, many people are not holding for the world, sometimes the more such people are better and more gripped, a person has a desire, that is to have a handle, this kind of handle is not a bad thing for you, many times, loyal ministers start from being mastered by others, and finally, that is to learn to use people, suspicious people do not use, There is no doubt about employing people, the most fickle thing in the world is the human heart, there is no satisfaction and it is impossible to be satisfied, the people around you have the human heart, when you are a very human minister, the people around you can not be believed, the human heart is not accurate, let alone you? The last is to learn to govern people, people in the world are in need of governance, grace and power, as the saying goes, hit a stick, and then give a sweet date, this is a very common way, there are many people in the world who eat this set. ”

"There is also the city government in my heart, remember, nothing can be shown on the face, you must be plain, and grasp the power in your hands to lay out the world in order to bring down the thorns on your road!"
