Chapter 1, Section 10, Beizui Hall Treatise 103

Beizui Hall Theory

The next time, a feast was prepared in the village to entertain all the relatives and friends who came from afar.

Ren Tianqi also invited Ximen Hongyun in the study, Bo Yifan, Murong hated the master and servant, a little red, Tang Shengzhi and Tianci were accompanied. Ren Tianqi especially thought of his sister Murong Yan when he saw Murong Chang, now that he was proficient in ethereal swordsmanship, he always felt that Murong Yan was still beside him whenever he practiced, and he couldn't help but sigh every time he missed Murong Yan's generosity and innocence. At this moment, it is inconvenient to say more, Ren Tianqi just toasts frequently.

Murong Chang hated him, and since he didn't refuse to come, he was so drunk that he laughed and helped people to rest.

On the twelfth day of the first month, there were only two princes left in the village, Qiu Yuantong and his son, the four brothers of Qiling Temple, Yi Hongxuan, Liu Chengmin, Qiu Chuji and others were eager to stay in the village, so they never went. In a rare good weather, everyone sat and chatted in the front yard hall after drinking, and talked about the matter of the imperial court sealing.

Ren Songde is called the holy grace of the mighty, and said that Ren Jiabao can regain the reputation of 20 years ago.

Liu Chengmin and others also got up and congratulated one after another. Songyi, the director of Dazhai, smiled and said nothing.

Qiu Chuji disagreed, got up and coughed against everyone's will, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't have to say a few words in the next day." ”

Everyone sat down with a smile, and the owner of the old village asked Qiu to speak.

Qiu Chuji hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "I am young and vigorous, and I am not unhappy if I have different opinions." If you don't say anything, or if there is something offensive between your words, please take it with you!"

Everyone returned the salute and said politely.

Qiu Chuji said: "The emperor Enrui descended, and the official was knighted, and this matter is extremely beautiful on the face; but when I calm down and take a closer look, I am afraid that the ending may not be as optimistic as everyone thinks! Lin'an is guilty of not being punished, but he is rewarded with another award, it is difficult to say whether he will count the crimes and punish ------ endless troubles in the future!"

Qiu's words were like a plate of cold water for everyone.

Everyone was puzzled, but Ren Tianqi agreed with what Qiu Chuji said based on his own experience, but he might not be able to think so much for a while.

Qiu Chuji said: "As you all know, the two families of the Jin and Song Dynasty are currently bounded by the Huai River, and they have signed a contract of non-aggression against each other. This land of Xuzhou has long been owned by the Jin State for some years. For example, if the saint only wanted to seal a title to show the grace of heaven, it was not impossible, and the south of the Huai River was vast, but why did he want to seal the title of Xuzhou? It was not impossible to seal a vacant title of an idle civilian official with no power, but he just sent another army and horse, granted a military talisman general, and instructed the Tianqi brothers to recruit troops and horses to expand armaments and warfare. In a word, the imperial court's move is a high-ranking and light-handed position, and it is difficult to be convincing, but what is the intention of the imperial court? It is the imperial court that knows Tianqi's talents, and I am afraid that it may not be; I am afraid that only the imperial court can crack the mystery!"

Everyone nodded yes.

Qiu Chuji said: " If Brother Tianqi leads the army and horses to Xuzhou, first, it is impossible, because the Huai River is separated by natural dangers, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the old prince who refuse; second, if he leads the army forward, it will inevitably provoke a war between the Jin and Song dynasties and destroy the agreement between the two countries, and the crime will not be small, and it will inevitably attract the spurning and killing of the people of the world; third, if Brother Tianqi leads the army and horses to be stationed in Yangzhou, first of all, the imperial court is not allowed to do so, and secondly, the heroes and nobles are not necessarily relieved, and they will not be allowed to sleep soundly under the collapse; secondly, they are only a few men and horses, and there will be few soldiers, just like the Han Gaozu Liu Huangshu before borrowing Jingzhou, he is controlled everywhere and everything is not going well; if he does not go to the fief for a long timeIf the court wants to investigate, it is not a small crime. Therefore, the officials who fell from this world said that they would take it away, and the court's intentions need to be seen three times in one step, and they should be cautious and cautious!"

Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, and sighed a lot.

Ren Songming laughed and said, "Qiu Shaoxia is afraid that he has misunderstood the meaning of the imperial court." I think that my Renjiabao is a generation of loyalty, compared with the two families of Jinhu and Yinyang since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the meritorious deeds of the past, the loyalty of the court is also obvious to all, and the sky can learn from it. Impunity is not only because the court knows about the grievances suffered by my eldest brother, and affirms my eldest brother's exploits when he was an official in the court, and recites his merits; As for why this saint granted Tianqi Xuzhou the post of appeasement envoy, since there is a proper arrangement of the imperial court, before the holy order arrives, it is better for us not to be suspicious!"

Qiu was about to speak, but King Ju Nan asked with a smile: "Then according to what Qiu Daxia saw, what should happen to this matter?"

Qiu Chuji always opened his mouth and said that his mouth was full of words, so he got up and saluted the Ren family's father and son, and said with a smile: "What the owner of Lang Zhuang asked is exactly what everyone is worried about. There are a few views on the downside, which can be used for the reference of Brother Tianqi and you. ”

Ren Songde got up and said with a smile: "Qiu Daxia has any opinions, please tell me quickly." I'll hear you!"

Qiu Chuji said: "What the second old village master said is not unreasonable, we can wait for the holy order to be issued again, but if this holy order does not arrive in one month, two months, and half a year? In fact, it is also very easy to deal with this kind of thing, one is to resign, if Brother Tianqi does not want to take this hornet's nest, he can write a letter to resign, and then send a large amount of money and goods to several important ministers in the court, after resigning, he can spend the rest of his life in Guangling, and do not ask about the world; First, it is necessary to find out the true intentions of the imperial court, and secondly, it is also necessary to find a backer for the queen, the so-called reason that someone in the court is good to be an official; third, you can directly write to the imperial court to request an increase in material supply and expand the army, so as to explore the meaning of the imperial court; of course, Brother Tianqi also has the most stable and reliable convenience in his hand, that is, he should also pass a letter to the prince of Dajin to conquer the south to seek secret protection, so that he can also ensure his life. ”

Song Ming, the director of Lao Zhai, glanced at the old prince, got up and said: "No, my family has always been a loyal and righteous person, a loyal and good minister, and has never done anything contrary to the ancestral society, absolutely not; The third brother, Tianqi Xian's nephew, my Dazhai volunteered to give out 300 dings, 100 horses, and 10,000 taels of silver. If there is any shortage, I will make up for it later!"

King Ju Nan hurriedly spoke, and said with a smile: "The second old village master is wrong. Since ancient times, there have been rare birds to choose good trees to perch on, and virtuous ministers to choose Ming Jun to do things. Today, the Song Dynasty is dark and strong, the Song Lord is in a coma, the gold lord is Shengming, and everyone knows it. As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, is it possible that the second master of the Ren family knows that there are tigers in the mountains, prefers to go to the tiger mountain, and ends up with an empty green name, just like Yue Pengju in the previous dynasty, it is not a pity for people to die, leaving a green name in vain?"

No one responded.

Mr. Big coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Qiu Daxia is really thoughtful, and he can distinguish this matter so thoroughly in a few words, it is really a deep foresight, and he can chase the prophet." The second old village owner is also as heroic as the sky, a piece of loyalty. But the old man saw that what the owner of Lang Zhuang said was reasonable, whether this court is still worth it for you and me to work for him at the moment, this is indeed still up for debate, and you must not take any risks for the sake of that useless green name!"

Liu Chengmin's few words also penetrated into the hearts of everyone and won the same feelings. Fortunately, they are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they have always been ignorant of political affairs, and the rivers and lakes have no borders!

Nangong Xiong frowned and said: "I think Tianqi is an official who doesn't do anything, he can't go against the prince of Zhengnan for the sake of this unsupportable court, for this unwarranted fame! We and other ordinary people in the rivers and lakes want to be healthy and have a dull life, just need to cultivate themselves and practice martial arts, don't be greedy for lofty ambitions to manage the affairs of the court, and don't want to go to the glory and wealth that is like a cloud of smoke, high-ranking officials and high lords. Look at the lord of the big village, the official worshiped the right attendant of the military department, and the golden palace personally pointed out the example, how prominent he used to be! It is not not high, the ambition is not far away, and the contribution is not great, so what? Now he has ended up hiding in Shaolin with a broken arm, and he is lucky to be blessed with the grace of heaven. All of us who practice martial arts pay attention to purity and inaction!"

King Ju Nan said with a smile: "Mr. Nangong should not be so pessimistic! Life is short, if you want everything to be satisfactory and not encounter storms, it is impossible." People have inherent hopes, either they have a confidant, or a family business, or a few grown children, or a few close friends, which varies from person to person; in addition, who does not want to have a chance to become famous, and who does not want to have a hegemony that honors their ancestors. But throughout the ages, if you want to get these beautiful things, you need to have several elements to accompany them; if you have these elements, if you want to avoid the world, you will be unknown, pedantic and incorrigible; if you don't have these elements, even if you are ambitious, you can only be a dream, wishful thinking, too whimsical, that is ignorance. Taking the situation in the world as far as we are concerned, thousands of years have passed since ancient times, and there are any dynasties and generations that do not want to survive forever? Which dynasties and which generations have not had virtuous ministers and good generals? However, some people have become famous and have gone down in history, and some people have died before their ambitions have been rewarded. The reason for this is nothing more than whether you are at the right time, whether you are close to the building, whether your reputation is popular with the people, and whether you have the ability and ambition, all four of which are indispensable!"

When Qiu Chuji heard this, he clapped his hands and applauded, and said: "Okay, this statement of the owner of Lang Zhuang is exactly what I want, the number of the world, there is always a destiny, and the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky! Those who do not plan will eventually succeed! The planner must also know how to obey the will of heaven and get the love of the heavens! On this day, the location, people, and self-encouragement are indispensable!"

When King Junan saw Qiu Chuji blurting out the eight-character mantra of "time, place, people, and self-encouragement", he agreed, and laughed: "Okay, good, Qiu Daxia is really a fine theory, and he will bow down and obey, and he should finally ask for advice!"

Qiu Chuji turned around and thanked him, and said with a smile: "Lord Lang Zhuang is serious, and he is just summarizing all the things in the world, and he is not capable." It's not as well-informed as the owner of Lang Zhuang who can braid the authenticity!"

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

A little red nodded and said: "Nangong's seniors need to pay attention to the reminder, whether you accept this reward or not, you will have a lot of trouble, in order to avoid affecting your family and avoiding persecution, you have to plan in advance and act carefully." ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, looking up at Qiu.

Qiu Chuji is a person with a happy surname, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen's thoughts and worries are indeed the greatest desire in life. The glory and wealth in front of me are all passing clouds and clouds, and they will not last long. In the vast world, who can live forever? Who can live forever? No. This Heaven is fair! Man, in this life, who has no parents, no wife, no sons, and no daughters. In the world, what we want is to support our parents, provide for the elderly, raise our children, and prevent illness and old age. Everything is no bigger than these two things! Peace and smoothness are the greatest prayers in life!"

The Tianming monk next to him shouted and said with a smile: "Amitabha, people are noble and quiet, and grievances are all out of desire." Qiu Shaoxia is so young, he has such a high surname, he will become a master!"

Nangong Xiong said with a smile: "Isn't Qiu Daxia's preface wrong with his remarks?

Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "No, being content with the status quo and taking care of your days is the original surname of a person." You don't necessarily have those cows and horses, but you also have your own parents and children. Why are we not the same as those? The reason is that we have ideas, we know how to make trade-offs, we know how to change, and we know how to persevere. In this world, in addition to survival and continuation, there are still many pursuits, such as poetry, song and dance, horseback riding and archery, fame and fortune, and so on. The current situation is that if Brother Tianqi does not do this official, he will also live well. It's just that he can't be this official, but he has many measurements and multiple choices in his heart, whether it is fame and fortune in the country, or the love of children, at most it is just a regret!"

Everyone heard that Qiu Chuji's sentences were reasonable, and they couldn't interject.

The prince of Zhengnan looked down on Qiu Chuji very much, and felt that he was indeed a rare talent today, and he also wanted to investigate Qiu Chuji more, so he smiled and said: "I heard that Qiu Daxia became famous in Yangzhou, so how does Qiu Daxia view this martial arts practice?"

Qiu Chuji said: "Back to the old prince, I privately believe that this martial arts practice itself is to strengthen the body; it is only later that the strength of the physique is different, and it is quite reflected in the victory or defeat of the fight, so that martial arts are included as an element of fighting." However, from the current point of view, if this martial arts is divided into two kinds: internal martial arts and external family skills, then the internal family skills lie in the qi, and the qi is thick and pure; the outer family skills are in the form, and the forms are many illusions, and they are branches; if it is said that martial arts are divided into two categories: empty hands and precept holders, then these empty hands are mostly guarded and courageous; and the instruments are mostly offensive and relied on. Therefore, I feel that if a person only wants to strengthen his body, it is better to meditate and practice Zen, and if he wants to dominate the industry, it is better to be proficient in the art of horse warfare and join the army before the two armies!"

Qiu Yuantong said with a smile: "Qiu Shaoxia's intention is that we and other people who practice martial arts, if we can't go to the battlefield and can't kill the enemy, we won't have anything to eat? Don't you see that Mr. Da and I both have a lot of wealth? There are a few people in this world who can compare!"

Mr. Big Yoo Seung-min also smiled.

Qiu Chuji smiled and said nothing.

The room above the hall of Renjiabao has made Qiu Chuji famous, and the world has since had the name of "Nanqi North Machine" or "Nanjian Beikou", Qiu Chuji and Ren Tianqi have become the two most famous young people in the world.
