Chapter 84: Epiphany
The sky was bright, Chen Kan looked at the river water flooding under the gentle slope, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the power of nature." ”
The Fen River was flooded, but fortunately, Chen Kan and the others left in time, almost as soon as they walked on the front foot, Hong Feng came immediately.
Looking at this water potential, don't think about marching in a short time, no matter what, you have to wait until the river on the official road recedes and the road is drier.
Chen Kan returned to the big tent and lay down, looking at the roof of the tent with blank eyes.
In general, this rain did not bring any trouble to Chen Kan, what really annoyed Chen Kan was that he had to go to Guozijian to study when he returned to Beijing.
If you follow Fang Xiaoru's arrangement, it means that the little foundation that you have finally laid in Jinyiwei will have to give up.
After going through so many things, and there are life and death crises, I finally got some power, and I was really unwilling to give up Chen Kan like this.
The imperial examination is good, but when it comes to the day I am admitted to the Jinshi, I don't know how many years later.
Continue to mess around in Jinyiwei, and have so much time to go to the drill camp for yourself, not to mention replacing Ji Gang's position, it should be no problem to replace Li Jinglong, right?
For a while, Chen Kan fell into a deep entanglement.
On the one hand, there is long-term development, and on the other hand, there is the power of the moment.
It's really hard to choose!
Should I go to school, or continue to stay in Jinyiwei?
Thinking about it, Chen Kan's head was a little swollen and painful.
After lying on the bed for half an hour, Chen Kan smashed his head with a thump.
Because he found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
Today is the first month he has come to Daming, no more, no less, exactly thirty days.
It's not a long time, but it's not a short time.
But he never seemed to have seriously thought about his future path!
In the past month, he seems to have done a lot of things, offered a strategy to cut the domain, moved to Zhu Jixi, hooked up with the big-eyed cute girl, and was determined to marry the big-eyed cute girl home.
But no matter what, it doesn't seem to be done well.
The credit for cutting the feudal domain was given to Li Jinglong, and Zhu Jixi was defeated, but he couldn't kill it all.
Only marrying a big-eyed cute girl comes from the heart, but so far, he and the big-eyed cute girl have only met twice, and he can't figure out how the big-eyed cute girl feels about him.
Set up some flags, what is for the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty, creating a prosperous world and the like, there is no direction at all!
Thinking back to these things I want to do, it seems that each of them is a stick in the east and a hammer in the west, like a rabbit beating a rabbit.
Chen Kan suddenly turned over and sat up, muttering to himself, "So, what did I do, what do I want?" ”
"Power?"
"Money?"
"Big-eyed cute girl?"
After getting out of bed, sitting down after coming to the desk, Chen Kan picked up the pen and wrote these three things on paper.
Then he pondered again.
What is the purpose of asking for power yourself?
Protect your right to eat meat, or to make yourself worthy of a big-eyed cute girl, or to do something practical for the people of the world?
Money, money in this era is the most useless thing for Chen Kan, as long as he wants it, he can get it.
Big-eyed cute girl, this is what he is sure and definitely wants.
Looking at the few big words on the paper, Chen Kan's thoughts gradually became clear.
When he first came to Daming, Chen Kan wanted to do something for this era, but later after entering Jinyiwei, especially after trying the thrill of power, he gradually went astray.
In other words, because of his prophetic skills, he gradually had the mind to take tricks.
The most obvious point is that when he decided to marry the big-eyed cute girl home, in order to show his ability in front of Zhu Di, he began to study continuously, so that he gradually lost the bottom line.
No matter who it is, you can pit it if you want to, and you can calculate if you want to.
But in the final analysis, they have not offended Chen Kan.
For example, Li Jinglong, Ji Gang and others, just because he saw some negative records about their words in the history books, he subconsciously regarded them as villains, and he could do whatever he wanted.
And when he was in prison and admonishing Fang Xiaoru, he kept telling himself not to live as an outlier in this world.
Now think about it, what is the difference between my behavior in the past month or so and that of being different?
After thinking through these things, Chen Kan's heart calmed down.
He may have understood the reason why Fang Xiaoru asked him to go to Guozijian to study, not necessarily because he had to participate in the imperial examination.
Perhaps more importantly, it is for meditation.
Although he told himself every time that he wanted to live well in this world, looking at the world from God's perspective for a long time has made him ignore that he is also an ordinary member of this world.
So, why bother with choosing immediate power or long-term development?
His thoughts suddenly cleared, and a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Kan's mouth.
He came to his senses!
From now on, he is going to start trying to control power, not be controlled by it.
The truth between heaven and earth is the same, power and money, are just a tool to serve people, how to use it is very critical, use it well, Haiyan River is clear, if you don't use it well, it will poison the world!
His heart suddenly brightened, and Chen Kan couldn't help but stretch his waist!
"Well, I'll confess to the big-eyed cute girl when I go back, and then ask the teacher to propose to His Majesty!"
Chen Kan is more greedy, power, money, big-eyed cute sisters, he wants them.
......
"My lord, the water is receding, the water is receding!"
Shi Wen's voice sounded outside the tent.
"Didn't you say that it would take at least two or three days to return?"
Chen Kan opened the big tent with a suspicious face, the Fen River is also a big river in the north, can the flood recede so quickly?
"It's really back!"
Looking at the silt on the official road, Chen Kan was a little stunned, could it be that the purpose of this rain is to remind himself?
"Enlightenment" is a method in Zen Buddhism, and the six patriarchs Hui Neng boiled it down to a process of clear mind.
Chen Kan had an epiphany, and the flood receded.
Seeing that there was no stagnant water under the gentle slope, Chen Kan raised his head and said with a smile: "Providence is like this, go back to Beijing!" ”
Chen Kan gave an order, but the horse under the crotch suffered.
had to carry Chen Kan, who was more than 100 catties in the mud, and had to endure Chen Kan's whipping.
Half a month later, Chen Kan looked at the three big characters of Dinghuai Gate on the wall of Jingshi, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Brothers, I'm home!" ”
The brocade guards behind them also showed a smile on their faces, they were used to staying in Jiangnan, and this trip to the north, although there were no big waves in the process, it still made everyone feel like they were in a different world.
"Allow you to have a day off, now, go back to your own house and find your own mother!"
Chen Kan waved his hand and generously promised a day of vacation.
