To cultivate oneself and cultivate one's character, to manage the family and govern the world, everyone can speak, but it is difficult to do it.

How many people in this world can endure loneliness?

Xu Yuanwen was painting by the table, and Xiong Cilu stood by and tried his best to calm his mind, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the top scholar.

Because his body was arched and his hat was in trouble, Xu Wenyuan took off his official hat and exposed his bare head. This action was naturally inconsistent with courtesy, but no one in the cabinet has ever asked about it, so who would say that the top scholar was unconventional?

Seeing that the ink dust in the inkstone was almost dry, Xiong Cilu took the ink cake to grind it for Xu Yuanwen. After the ink cake was melted, Xiong Cilu felt aroused and sighed: "The ink cake is only a treasure when it is used, but it is black charcoal when it is not used. No one is a treasure."

Xiong Cilu's implication naturally means that as soon as the Emperor Daxing left, the princes and ministers of Manchu who were assisting in the administration immediately put the cabinet on the shelf, so that he had talent and ambitions, but could only do nothing here all day and waste time.

"Why do you care about Jingxiu? The late emperor had many orders before his death. The ministers of the government dared not to follow the four words of Manchu and Han family. Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the court is still the most important thing. At this critical moment, the ministers of the government cannot accept power. Besides, after all, the emperor is old, so we should wait, and it is useless to be impatient."

Although Xu Yuanwen was younger than Xiong Cilu, he was open-minded than Xiong Cilu and knew that no matter how anxious they were, the emperor was only eight years old and the government was controlled by the ministers of the regent. The four ministers of the regent were all from Manzhou, so if they wanted to stand up, they had to wait until the emperor took charge of the rule.

Xiong Cilu smiled bitterly, and after this incident, he asked, "Gongsu, have there ever been a letter from his hometown? I heard that the thief scholar was learning from Li Chuang in Jiangnan, which made people angry and resentful. You are the top scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and that thief scholar would not let you go. I heard that Ye Fang'ai's Tanhua was called thief scholar because his Ye family owed a penny of tax. This is really ridiculous! Gongsu" is Xu Yuanwen's name, which was taken by his uncle Gu Yanwu.

Xu Yuanwen put down his pen and said, "Since the fall of Jiangnan, I have interrupted my information with my home, and I don't know what the situation is at home."

Xu Yuanwen's words were half true and half false. After the Taiping Army occupied Jiangnan, his hometown in Kunshan had sent him a letter. Before the dynasty, there were also Kunshan gentry fleeing north to pass on the letter for the Xu family, so Xu Yuanwen actually knew about the matter about his hometown. However, for some reason, Xu Yuanwen did not tell his friends the truth. Moreover, there was one thing he did not tell Xiong Cilu, that is, just a few days ago, a Shandong businessman came to his residence in the capital, and the businessman sent him a handwritten letter from his uncle Gu Yanwu.

"A thief scholar acted in a rebellious manner, treating scholars like ants, and was worse than Wu Sangui."

Xiong Cilu's words were really touching because he was from Hanyang Prefecture, Huguang. Although Huguang had been occupied by the Ming army and divided into two provinces: Hubei and Hunan. Hunan was occupied by the Taiping army, while Hubei was occupied by Zhongzhen Camp. On the surface, the news and business roads of Huguang and the north were cut off, but various news secretly gathered in the Huguang Guizhou Hall in the capital. From there, Xiong Cilu heard a lot of bad news. Although Hanyang was occupied by Zhongzhen Camp, Xiong Cilu still added what happened in his hometown to the thief scholar. Because if it weren't for the thief scholar, how could Huguang be like this now?

Xu Yuanwen suddenly asked Xiong Cilu: "Does Brother Cheng still have any contact with you?"

Xiong Cilu was stunned for a moment, shook her head: "No." Xu sighed again: "Brother Cheng is too stubborn. He refused to listen to your advice that day, and insisted on going to the thief scholar. Now he doesn't know where he is. The war is in chaos, and I am really worried about his accident."

"Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. Let's talk about the juren Yu Chenglong. When the Ministry of Personnel selected officials, no one dared to go, so he took the initiative to go. Everyone thought he would die in office, but he didn't expect that he would meet a noble person. The right admiral of Jiangnan, Lord Kuenbu, admired him very much, and asked him to be the governor of Lujiang."

"The Prime Minister of Lujiang?" Xiong Cilu was stunned and subconsciously said, "Yu Chenglong is just a miserable person."

"Heroes don't care about their origins."

Xu Yuanwen chuckled, picked up the pen and painted again. As soon as he drew a little, the door opened, he saw Prince Kang Jieshu stepping in. Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cilu hurriedly wanted to go forward to salute. Jieshu saw the pen in Xu Yuanwen's hand and the painting on the table, and hurriedly said, "The top scholar should not be too polite. I am also passing by, just take a look."

Jieshu is the prince. Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cilu dared to be arrogant. They still came forward and knelt down to ask Jieshu for Jieshu. When they knelt down, Xiong Cilu poked Xu Yuanwen lightly. The latter found that he had not worn his official hat and hurriedly took it on. Jieshu raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up, approached the table and carefully drew Xu Yuanwen's paintings, and sighed: "The late emperor was trying to learn and admire Confucianism at the time. Love and use talents as the country, but some people in the Eight Banners privately criticized him as specializing in recruiting Han people and southern scholars. The Hanlin mission was a great struggle, let alone other things! Now that the late emperor left, the cabinet was so deserted. It was still my king's fault. When I entered the palace tomorrow, I could not let the late emperor's efforts be ruined by others."

What did Jieshu say? Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cilu only dared to listen, but did not dare to talk casually, especially in Jieshu's words, he was vaguely dissatisfied with the Minister of the Respondent.

After Jieshu said this, he was inspired by a moment of inspiration. After saying too much, he also realized that some of the words were not something that these two Han people, Hanlin, could not listen to.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot the main business."

Jieshu sat down and said something to Xu Yuanwen, but wanted him to accept a disciple.

"The child of Xingde is very smart and can recite poems at a young age. I like it very much. His father Nalan Mingzhu and I are also very good at it. Now Mingzhu is sent by the late emperor, so I want to find a wise teacher for Xingde. After thinking about it, in the world, you, the top scholar, are the most suitable teacher for Xingde."

Prince Kang personally mentioned this matter, and Xu Yuanwen had also heard of the young master in Nalan's mansion, so he agreed to the matter. Jieshu was very happy and told Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cilu that something had nothing to do with the government and military affairs, and then got up and left.

After Jieshu left, Xiong Cilu congratulated Xu Yuanwen, congratulating him on taking a good student and climbing the line of Prince Kang. Although the order of the late emperor was to be the four ministers who were responsible for the administration, Jieshu, the prince of Manzhou, was also very important. It is impossible to say that without waiting for the emperor to take power, Xu Yuanwen could take a big step in his career in advance.
