Just as they were struggling whether to enter or not, and how to enter, a little novice walked out, folded his hands, and recited the Dharma name, "Mr. Yangming, Mr. Xuzhai is in the nursing home in the west wing, you can see it when you go." ”

Wang Shouren thanked him and walked briskly inside.

Xiao Shami said: "Two heroes, our chief chef invites the two of you to the Hall of Merit to talk about it." ”

Lu Jiang and the two glanced at each other, nodded, and Lu Chuan said, "I'm tired, please lead the way." ”

Not long after, when they arrived at the Hall of Merit, Xiao Shami reported at the door, and after getting a response, he pushed open the door, invited Lu Chuan and the others in, and then took the door and retreated.

The lights in the room were dim, Lu Chuan held the hilt of his sword tightly, guarding carefully, while Jiang Bin looked sideways at the door from time to time, as if he was ready to break out at any time.

"The two young heroes don't have to be so nervous, please take a seat. ”

An old voice came from the shadows, and before the words fell, only a few soft sounds were heard, and the lamps in the hall were lit at the same time, and the lights were bright in an instant.

Only then did Lu Chuan and the others see clearly that there was a row of tables and chairs in the west of the hall, and on the chairs sat an old man over eighty years old, wearing a black cloth robe and a long beard, and he did have a bit of a master's demeanor.

Lu Chuan and the two went over to greet each other, "The younger generation has seen the head of the Lotus Gate, the eight-armed immortal Cai senior. ”

The old man didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and waited for Lu Chuan and the two to sit down, and then the old man said: "From Jiangxi to Quanzhou, is the road still stable?"

Lu Chuan bowed and said: "The predecessors have a good way, and the eight mansions of Minzhou are taken care of by the Lotus Gate, so they are naturally safe and sound, and it is indeed a rare peaceful place in the world." ”

"It can be regarded as peace, my brother Cai Qing has forced trouble here, won't King Ning let him go?"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Chuan knew that Cai Hong had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's the juniors who didn't make it clear, the juniors are only here to accompany my senior brother to visit Mr. Xuzhai, and they have nothing to do with King Ning." ”

"Isn't Lu Shaoxia from Lenglongling, Liangzhou, and has nothing to do with King Ning?"

"I don't know if my eldest brother has anything to do with King Ning, but the younger generation has never even seen King Ning's face. ”

"That's right, Lu Shaoxia is now a person from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and in the Jiangxi area, King Ning and the Heavenly Master's Mansion can be regarded as well water and river water. Since it has nothing to do with it, the two young heroes can just do it, and if you need anything, just tell the disciples in my sect to do it. ”

"Thank you, Boss. ”

Lu Chuan and the others thanked each other and were about to get up to say goodbye, but they heard Cai Hong say again: "Oh, I forgot to say, if you want to go to the beach, you have to be very careful, the old man can't care about it there." ”

Lu Chuan didn't understand a little, but he didn't ask much, turned around and left the Hall of Merit.

Cai Qing's nursing home and merit hall are separated by a wall, and there are two monks guarding the door, it seems that Cai Hong attaches great importance to the safety of his brothers.

Jiang Bin is a serious martial artist, and he has no interest in talking about books and reasoning, so he waited outside the door, Lu Chuan picked up the curtain and went in to take a look, ouch, what Wang Shouren said was true, Mr. Cai Qing was really sick, and he was out of shape. There was a table and candlestick next to the bed, and the old gentleman could only sit on the bed and talk, and it was difficult to move his body. Lu Chuan really didn't understand, they were all people with today and no tomorrow, why did King Ning still want to kill him?

Despite this, the old gentleman was very happy, and when he saw Wang Shouren coming from thousands of miles to see him, he was moved to tears.

Lu Chuan walked to the couch and bowed, "After the end of school, I entered Lu Chuan, and I saw Mr. Xuzhai." ”

Cai Qing didn't know Lu Chuan, and it was inevitable that he was a little surprised when he saw that he was a young descendant dressed in rivers and lakes.

Wang Shouren explained on the side: "Sir, this is my master's son. ”

"It's a ...... of a lent"

"No, no, it's my other teacher......"

"Oh, I remember, you also have a teacher who is Dr. Lu from Nanjing Guozijian, right?"

"Exactly. ”

"Jiye and I have been friends for many years, we have known each other as early as when Ren Wenxuan Langzhong in Nanjing, but we haven't seen each other for many years, is your father okay?"

"The old gentleman remembers, my father is all right. It's just that I'm troubled and can't come to see you old. ”

"Hey, I'm glad you and Yang Ming came. Sit, don't stand. ”

Lu Chuan pulled a chair and sat down side by side on the bed with Wang Shouren facing each other, Mr. Cai took Lu Chuan's hand and said, "Look at your dress, have you learned martial arts?"

"Yes, the younger generation is impetuous, and he can't read the book, so he learns martial arts. ”

"Learning to become a literary and martial artist, selling goods to the emperor's family, and learning literature and martial arts are the same. ”

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Mr. doesn't know, although my junior brother is a martial artist, the poetry book has not fallen, we met two people who learned "poetry" on the way here, and they are also old acquaintances, so they have been around for two days. Seeing someone composing a poem, he also made one, and he just pressed it. Later, when we talked about science, he criticized individuals from top to bottom. ”

Lu Chuan knew that Cai Qing was a student of governance, and it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed when he saw Wang Shouren mention the old thing.

Mr. Cai didn't think it was angry at all, and said with a smile: "Both civil and military are good, everyone in the world knows that Yue Pengju is a famous general, but they don't know that his words and poems are also a must." But if you learn from Yue Pengju, don't learn from his foolishness, you have to learn to change power. Outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, that is, the beginning of Gaozong instructed Yue Pengju with heartfelt words, but later he urged the class teacher with twelve gold medals a day, this is not Qin Hui's doing, who is it? Gaozong was deceived by Qin Hui, Yue Pengju should understand the power change instead of obeying the fate. Which is more loyal, obeying the king's order or avenging the eternal revenge for the monarch? The greater than the gentleman is not afraid of independence. This means that in extraordinary times, there will be extraordinary people who dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do. Only by not following the rules can we achieve great things. Therefore, no one has ever done it in the previous life to give way to outsiders, but Yao dares to do it; the monarch crusades against the monarch if he is mediocre, and no one dares to do it in the previous life, Shang Tang dares to do it; the monarch exiles the monarch when he violates the law, and then lets him come back when the monarch knows that he is wrong, no one dares to do it in the previous life, but Yi Yin dares to do it. They were praised by the world, but no one ever said they were sinners of the religion. At that time, if Yue Pengju could not obey the king's orders and resist the enemy with all his might, and wait until he was successful, he would lead the soldiers to ask the court for guilt. This is called 'right', and 'right' is a last resort. If you have no choice but don't know how to change, even a saint can't achieve great things. ”

"The younger generation has been taught. However, the younger generation felt that Yue Pengju had one more thing wrong. ”

"Oh? ”

Yue Pengju wanted to welcome back Hui and Qin Erzong, but he didn't want to think about how Emperor Gaozong would settle if Hui and Qin Erzong returned? ”

"Are you saying that you should learn from Tingyi to treat Yingzong?"

"No, the younger generation thinks that Lord Yu is still a little merciful, this kind of faint king who misunderstands the country should be killed. If they can be buried with the gift of the monarch after their death and enter the imperial mausoleum, it is already considered mercy. ”

After all, Lu Chuan is a person on the green forest road, it is really not shocking to die, inside and outside the door are people who come to visit the old gentleman from all over the world, many people also have fame, saying this kind of thing on this occasion, anyone who says it is a crime to turn around, you must know that Yingzong is not the emperor of the previous dynasty, and now long live Zhu Houzhao is the pro-pure grandson of Yingzong.

As soon as these words came out of the house, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Mr. Cai suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "It seems that you have learned the word "power change." ”

Lu Chuan didn't expect such an old scholar to be so open-minded, it seems that if the old gentleman learns martial arts, he should be an out-and-out chivalrous man.

However, this kind of topic is really not suitable to talk about, so Lu Chuan diverted the topic and asked: "Sir, the junior has something unclear and wants to ask you for advice." ”

The old gentleman laughed and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"The juniors went to the Hall of Merit before they came to you, and the juniors heard Cai Lao said that King Ning wanted to kill you, and the juniors couldn't understand it after thinking about it, so they asked. ”

Mr. Cai was in high spirits today, but when he heard the word King Ning, the old man's face suddenly sank.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shouren hurriedly said: "Senior brother, Mr. is unwell and can't talk for a long time, let's go down, and wait for Mr. to be in better spirits tomorrow." With that, he went to pull Lu Chuan's sleeve.

Lu Chuan didn't expect the old gentleman to be so disgusted with King Ning, and he knew that he was speechless, so he quickly got up and retired. I didn't want the old gentleman to wave his hand and said, "It's okay, since you talked about it, it doesn't hurt." Ning Wang ...... I have been an official in Jiangxi for many years, and I have some dealings with him. Xiaolu, what do you say a person like King Ning should be?"

"It is the ancestral training that the royal descendants should not be officials, and the younger generations feel that they should guard themselves and avoid suspicion and disaster. But if you are born at the wrong time, the monarch is dizzy, and it should not be an exaggeration to make a difference. ”

"I often say that there is no way to profit oneself, but those who benefit the world seek it, and the money comes from the people, and if it can fall into the hands of virtuous ministers and good generals, it can be called its place. When there is a great thing to cheer up, and then return to the people, it is the best good. But King Ning is not such a person, he oppressed the people in Nanchang Mansion, amassed money, excluded dissidents, framed local officials, curry favor, bribed Liu Jin as a barrier, raised the dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes, recruited troops and horses, built armor, and plotted ...... Big. I have never seen him rob the people of the people's mansions, blame the people's money, forcibly seize the children of the fields, raise a group of thieves, and rob the rivers and lakes, and I have never seen him; I have never seen him rob the people's houses in large groups, such as Ling 11, Min 24, and Wu 13, and if there are rebels, they slaughter their families, and I have never seen them either. What I have only seen with my own eyes is that on the first and fifteenth days of each month, he asks officials at all levels to meet him first, and only the next day can they enter the Temple of Literature to pay homage to Confucius. Although I, Cai Qing, don't have a three-foot long sword, I can't cut him off quickly, but my Cai Qing's three-foot backbone is still there, and I don't worship him!"
