It was rare for Li Yu to catch Lin Yi, a person who could speak, the two were the same age, they were both from scholarly families, and they could be regarded as having a common language, so they hurriedly asked her about the content she was interested in.

"Psychology, the female gentleman should be very proficient, right? How can we do it with a conscience? ”

Li Yu is also half-aware of psychology, and even for Confucianism, she is only full of curiosity, she is far from being a great Confucian, not to mention that she has been studying knowledge all her life, even if she is a scholar who generally participates in the imperial examination, she will be inferior in learning.

But her question can be said to be up-to-date.

Lin Yi, as a "female gentleman", was directly asked.

Lin Yi blinked her innocent eyes, and there was a kind of ignorance and incomprehension in her eyes, as if she was also thinking, what is "heart science" and what is "to conscience"?

"I don't know what Miss Li is talking about." Lin Yi's answer was also very calm.

Not knowing is not knowing, this is also the home education she has received since childhood, although when she says it from her own mouth, she herself will also seem very depressed.

He is the gentleman who takes the money to teach, and he was actually asked by the students.

Li Yu was also surprised and asked, "Aren't you the widow that Lai Guogong married back?" Why doesn't the lady understand this? ”

Lin Yi was still puzzled, she was thinking, why did Zhang Zhou marry home, she must understand this?

Li Yu said: "The female gentleman also said that she can come and go at will, and she doesn't even know the most talked-about Confucianism issue in Beijing now?" ”

"That'...... Maybe I'm lonely. Lin Yi was also a little frustrated.

Li Yuyan smiled at Yan Yan, but still said casually: "Jingshi summarizes, now when it comes to Zhu Zi's science and the dispute between the new heart school, the southern scholars mostly respect the science of the heart, while the north respects the science of science. ”

Lin Yi is still very upright on academic issues, she said: "Science has been passed down for a long time, and it has long been decided, and the world should not challenge the authenticity of science." The so-called heart scholars may mostly be fame and reputation. ”

"Really?" The more Li Yu listened, the more interesting he felt, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he asked, "Does the female gentleman think that the person who created the mind study is selling his reputation and deliberately attracting the attention of the world?" ”

Lin Yi thought about it, and suddenly shook his head again: "I don't know what Xinxue is, but I think it should be a misinterpretation of Confucianism in the later life, which is not enough." ”

"Hee-hee."

Li Yu seemed to feel that her conspiracy had succeeded, and she smiled, "Mr. Woman, you must be careful when you speak, I mean, the person who created and promoted the study of mind is none other than Lai Guogong himself, and it is precisely because he is from Ying Tianfu that most students in the south are on his side." Didn't he mention it to you? ”

"What?"

Lin Yi almost fainted with fright.

I was given a poem before, which made me inexplicably in the limelight, but now you are actually in the limelight yourself, and you have a high academic opinion?

It's really not amazing.

Li Yu said: "The controversy between the mind and the science of science is mostly about whether the admission is to the principles of heaven or to the hearts of the people, in fact, in my mind, no matter what the principles of heaven are, they are all understood by the hearts of the people, the so-called principles lie in the heart, in the understanding of the individual, if you do not understand the meaning, then the same principle is understood differently in the hearts of different people. In fact, the study of mind still makes a lot of sense. ”

Lin Yi knew that it was Zhang Zhou's mental science, and her mentality was about to be collected.

Anyway, the elbow still has to be turned in.

After thinking about it, she said, "If you perceive the principles of heaven with your heart, it is not against the will of the saints. ”

Li Yu smiled and said: "It seems that the female gentleman still doesn't know much about the study of the mind, if the study of the mind is just a literal meaning, to comprehend the principles of heaven with the heart, it will not cause such a big sensation, but also because of the truth contained in it, involving the past few hundred years of the controversy over the science of science, in fact, I don't understand it very well, but the elder brother can often argue about one thing for days and nights." Sometimes I don't understand them either. ”

Lin Yi lowered her head and said, "It's better for us to talk about female filial piety." ”

"Mr. Woman, I have long been familiar with it, and I understand the meaning, or it is interesting to talk to you about the mind and the things outside, before you got married, did you always go out of the door?"

The Li family regarded Lin Yi as a teacher who taught their own beautiful women.

And Li Yu regarded Lin Yi as a friend who could chat and even explore the outside world.

Lin Yi said: "No, I came to Beijing with my brother three years ago, and went to my father, who was an official in Beijing, and then I often went in and out of Beiyong with my brother, and I saw and heard a lot of things outside. ”

"Me too, I like to go out with my brother too." Li Yu suddenly felt that he had a lot of common language with Lin Yi, "What about the song "Huanxi Sha"? ”

"That'...... That...... I don't know. ”

Lin Yi wanted to say, I didn't write it.

But after marrying Zhang Zhou, Zhang Zhouqian told her that it didn't matter who wrote it, but if it was known that she was impersonating someone else's name, not only would she and her father Lin Han be discredited for plagiarizing poetry, but even Zhang Zhou, who was the "gunman" for her, would lose face.

In the past, you could ignore it, but now we are husband and wife, and it is yours if it is not yours, so it should be your wedding gift.

So all she could say was that she didn't know.

Li Yu was very concerned and asked, "Is there anything else?" Does the female gentleman have any other works on the side recently? Any kind of poetry will do, I ...... I want to learn this from you. ”

As a "literary young woman" in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yu hopes to be admired by the world, which is the most coveted thing for a girl who has just passed puberty.

Become the "star" of Daming.

Lin Yi said: "I ...... I ......"

Li Yu didn't expect that when he was teaching before, Lin Yi, who had always been able to talk eloquently, and even looked like a dogmatic and old-fashioned gentleman, would be as writhing and speechless as he is now.

"Mr. Woman, please, I also want to show my face in front of my brother, if there is a good poetry article, I will help you publish it, then I can also follow it." Li Yu showed the pleading gesture of his youngest daughter's family.

Lin Yi looked puzzled: "Then when I go back, let's try it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Girl, let's continue to learn "Female Filial Piety", I'll memorize it all for you, okay? Recently, I've been learning to write poetry, but I can't write well......"

……

……

Li Zhao went out for a day and arrived at the house with his friends, there seemed to be something still in contention.

"Those people are also right, just because of the view of the north and the south, they can't accept the study of the mind, can it be said that everything is not in development? Even Confucian classics will have mistakes that need to be changed. Li Zhaoxian was still a little angry.

Probably because of an argument with someone before, I got angry with my liver, and I coughed twice after I finished speaking.

The friend persuaded: "Brother Li, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

"I'm fine." Li Zhaoxian was most afraid of being treated as a sick ghost, even if his throat was still itchy now, he could only hold back, "I was just choked by the wind." ”

The friend said: "The words of the sage, it's not easy to criticize casually, so I'll go back first." See you in three days. ”

"Please. Go all the way. Li Zhao sent him off first.

"Yes."

The other party was envious and glanced at the Li family's mansion.

This is the mansion of a scholar, Li Zhaoxian's father is the second auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of person he is, he will not give Li Zhaoxian face but also give Li Dongyang face, and the envy of this family is greater than the respect for Li Zhaoxian's knowledge.

After Li Zhaojin arrived in the courtyard, he was told by his subordinates that Li Yu was waiting for him.

The brother and sister met in the courtyard of the West Wing.

"Brother, the female gentleman just left, she promised me that after I go back, I will write a poem at my discretion, and we will help him become famous, okay?" Li Yu asked with a look of longing.

Li Zhaoxian said: "You don't need to make a name for others, her words have already spread to the streets." ”

Li Yu said: "Then do you want her poems?" ”

"Yes." Li Zhaoxian replied very directly.

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Li Yu took out a little angry appearance, but it was only the temperament of the youngest daughter.

Li Zhaoxian said with a smile: "But sister, it is difficult for any talented person to write two poems that are recited in a short period of time, just like Mr. Zhang, he can compile the classic book of "Xinxue", but he can only write the general poems of "Peach Blossom Poem", even if it can be recited for a while, it is difficult to recite for a long time. ”

"Why not?"

Li Yu felt that her brother was slandering her friend, and she said, "Others can't do it, but Mr. Lin Family Girl must be able to, I believe her." If you don't believe it, we'll see. ”

……

……

At this time, Tang Yin was following the North Korean army and sending troops from the border of Ping'an Road near the Jurchen side of Jianzhou.

To Tang Yin's disappointment, in addition to the 200 men and horses he brought, the total number of men and horses that North Korea could dispatch to Jianzhou Wei was less than 5,000...... At most four thousand, seven or eight hundred, and the vast majority of them were infantry.

"A group of old, weak, sick and disabled, such a expedition, I am afraid of breaking in the wilderness, it is better for us to ...... Don't send troops first, right? ”

Even Xu Jing, who had always admired Zhang Zhou's decision before, was a little discouraged this time.

It's okay to send troops to North Korea, it's a big deal to work hard, but if you send troops, you will have to worry about your life, and it's not fun.

Tang Yin said: "There are 5,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, and our task is only to attract the attention of the Jurchens and let them send the soldiers and horses over." Don't worry. ”

But then he went to Li Kejun again and protested against Li Kejun.

"With only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how can the Jurchens think that we can attack the city? When will you be able to get together the rest of the men and horses that you North Koreans promised? ”

After Li Kejun arrived at the front line, he did not expect that the situation on the front line was very bad.

He said: "Envoy Tang, forgive me, we didn't expect this to be the case, but we have basically transferred the 5,000 men and horses who promised to send troops, should we continue to wait, or send troops directly?" ”

Xu Jing kept pulling Tang Yin's sleeves in the back, meaning that let's not be reluctant.

Tang Yin said sharply: "Send troops!" ”

When he came out again, Xu Jing asked, "Brother Tang, what happened to you before?" Obviously, the North Korean side has not even prepared all the food and grass, so why do they insist on sending troops? ”

As he was talking, Park Wonjong came over with a few North Korean soldiers wearing hats in the distance.

Park Yuanzong saluted Tang Yin very respectfully and said: "Envoy, I have inquired about the situation in various parts of Ping'an Province, last year's drought was especially serious in Ping'an Province, and the soldiers couldn't even eat, let alone go out to fight. The rations that the soldiers can bring out will not exceed ten days, and at this pace, we are afraid that we will have to run out of grass and food if we can't take a few steps. ”

Tang Yin said with a dark face: "Is this a house leak that happened to rain overnight?" Soldiers can't be recruited, and they can't even prepare only food and grass for soldiers? Do you want me to send someone to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty and let Liaodong bring you grain and grass? ”

Pu Yuanzong said: "I didn't mean that, we are also trying our best to fulfill the will of His Majesty the Ming Emperor." ”

"Then send troops." Tang Yin didn't ask any more questions, anyway, he was also very annoyed, who is not a pit?

Xu Jing said: "The Tang envoy means that the purpose of our troops is to harass, not for a decisive battle, and it doesn't matter how much food we bring, but Your Majesty has ordered us to send troops, even if it is a formality, we can't do nothing, right?" ”

Park Yuanzong thought about it, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes." ”

"Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Tang Yin said with a gloomy face, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the soldiers' rations will be less for another day." ”

After hearing this, Pu Yuanzong's face turned white and red, obviously very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to attack in front of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

……

……

Park Won-jong went in to see Lee Ke-kyun.

Li Kejun said: "The envoys of the Ming Dynasty insist on sending troops, and my plan is that we will retreat three days after sending troops." Dong Ebu is relatively no big threat to us, as long as we discuss with them in advance, after we send troops, they will retreat, cede part of the territory of the Hunhe River to us, and give an explanation to the Ming Emperor. ”

Park Yuanzong asked: "Will this affect the Ming Liaodong troops?" ”

Li Kejun said coldly: "Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty Liaodong will come out of the nest and destroy Jianzhou Wei?" Even if it is really destroyed, the territory will not belong to us, why should we shed blood for Daming? We were stricken by a drought, and the Jiannu caused a drought, and they were powerless to come. ”

"I'm afraid ......"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, although I'm fighting in the main battle in the DPRK, I also have to do what I can, this year's grain, grass and men and horses can't be recruited, and I'm afraid it will take another two years to wait for the troops to be dispatched."

Li Kejun was naturally unwilling.

But he also knew that he would not go to Jianzhou Wei this year, not because the Korean monarchs and ministers did not want to, but because ...... Out of reach.

……

……

Tang Yin and his entourage sent troops.

The two sides cooperated to send troops, first along the Hunhe River, which was also called the "Dong E River" by Jianzhou Wei and went all the way upstream.

After sending troops, Tang Yin found that the road conditions here were very bad.

In many places, there are mountains and there is not even a decent road.

After two days of marching.

The men and horses who went out did not even see a figure, but many North Korean soldiers were injured along the way, and there were no snakes, insects, rats and ants in the winter, but because of the severe cold weather, many North Korean soldiers did not have complete winter clothes, some had frostbite, and some could not continue to move forward because of wind chill and other diseases.

"If you go like this, how long will it take to get to Duobi City?" Tang Yin went to Li Kejun to discuss the military situation.

Li Kejun was full of contempt for Tang Yin.

He said: "Tang envoy, didn't you bring a marching map?" Or didn't you ask the guide? We walked on the east bank of the Hunhe River, here to Duobi City, to pass through the territory of Dong Ebu and Wang Jiabu, the further we went, the stronger their cottages became, and we were afraid that it would take us several days or even a month to attack each of them. ”

Tang Yin asked, "What if we don't attack their cottage and directly take the multi-walled city?" ”

"Ah...... Wow, wow, wow, wow......"

When the soldiers on the North Korean side heard this, they instantly exploded.

They probably all thought that Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was messing around.

said that he just came out to pretend, why did he want to bypass the camp of the Jurchens and directly send troops to Duobi City, the base camp of the Huifa Department, to kill him?

Pu Yuanzong was a little unbearable, he was also afraid of affecting the harmony between the two sides, he said: "Tang envoy, do you know, Duobi City is the main city of the Huifa Division, and the Huifa Department is one of the four major tribes of the Haixi Jurchens, in terms of strength, they are much stronger than the Dong E Department and the Wang Jia Division, there are thousands of elite soldiers alone, if we want to capture the Duobi City, it will be in vain." And if you walk for another three days, you may not be able to reach Duobi City, because the road is not easy to walk. ”

Tang Yin said: "Aren't we short of food and grass? If you take Duobi City, will there be enough food and grass? Our intentions have also been achieved? I don't want you to conquer other places, let's fight a multi-walled city first, isn't that too much? ”

Li Kejun said: "Tang envoys, we have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and we are not capable of capturing Duobi City. ”

But at this time, a herald came in from outside and said a bunch of Korean dialects.

Li Kejun said: "It was the people of Wang Jiabu who killed them, there were hundreds of elite soldiers, and their crossbowmen were very strong, shooting arrows on the other side of the river against the woods. We have to move the camp east. ”

Tang Yin said angrily: "Why do you want to move the camp? They dare to come and kill them! Come on, point out the gunners, and return fire! ”

Tang Yin was depressed, the arrival of Wang Jiabu was a snack for Tang Yin, and he couldn't wait to find all the anger in this group of people.

……

……

Tang Yin took Liu Gui, Xu Jing and others out to arrange the firing of the cannon.

The North Korean soldiers who left a camp tent all looked at each other, they hadn't said that they were going to send troops on their side, but there were only 200 people on the Ming side, and they actually wanted to take the initiative to face the battle?

"General Li, what should we do?" Park Won-jong asked.

Li Kejun said sharply: "Envoy Park Jiedu, you are a North Korean, and you are not allowed to speak in Chinese!" notified Dong Ebu in advance, did he not greet Wang Jiabu? Why did the people of Wang Jiabu kill him? ”

Park Won-jong found out that he had become a backstabber.

He did not dare to answer under Li Kejun's questioning.

And his colleagues also seem to regard him as a "traitor", believing that he only listens to the Ming people represented by Tang Yin, and does not care about the interests of the Korean side.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Meetings are still being held here to discuss the relocation of camps.

Outside, the sound of artillery had begun.

"So far, do you want to open fire?" The soldiers in the tent were a little puzzled.

"Report ......"

A soldier came in from outside, and said with a panicked face: "It's a big deal." ”

"Is it the Ming Dynasty soldiers who are all wiped out?" Li Kejun felt the pressure, when Tang Yin was about to fight with the crossbowmen of Wang Jiabu's department just now, he didn't stop him, he felt that something might be an accident now.

The herald said: "It's the artillery of the Ming Dynasty...... Bombed the Jiannu on the hill on the other side of the river to the ground looking for teeth, and now it is ...... Hundreds of dead and wounded, running north! ”

When Li Kejun heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately said in Ming Chinese: "What are you waiting for?" Dispatch troops! Hunt down the remnants! ”
