Chapter 141 A sharp sword, shocking the government and the public, a trump card, the sky
be afraid
The sky is filled with darkness.
The talents of Three Thousand Li came from the east, so the whole Wei Jing seemed a bit strange.
The east and west domes are hung with talents, reflecting like day, but the north and south are like night, with stars shining brightly, which looks a bit strange.
The court of the Wei Dynasty.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The empress sat quietly on the dragon chair.
In the hall, a dark shadow appeared in it.
"Your Majesty, according to the secret investigation of Heiyun Pavilion, there are some changes in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty. There are twenty-seven literati who often gather in the Wen Palace before the Taiping Poetry Meeting to plot other things."
"On the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, a large number of unidentified people have poured into the capital of the Wei Dynasty. Among them are the shadows of the White Clothes Sect, and there are also foreign spies exchanging information with each other."
"During the Great Wei Dynasty, merchants from Jin, Hui, Gan, Huai, and Beijing also had frequent contacts with foreign countries, especially Shan, Hui, and Gan merchants, who had close business dealings with Antu."
"Water oil, vine wood, and iron ore business are the most frequent. According to the spy reports, An Tuguo gave the three major merchants very high prices, so that the three major merchants hesitated and did not want to offend Wei, but they also did not want to give up this business.
.”
"A few days ago, the Tuxie Dynasty even sent people to the Seven Immortal Sects to send various congratulatory gifts in exchange for some secrets, involving the secrets of the first rank."
"The Chu Yuan Dynasty is searching for Zhu Sheng's Notes. At the same time, the Chu Yuan Dynasty's one-yuan martial arts idiot is very likely to break through to the first-level martial arts realm within ten years."
The voice of the black shadow sounded, his tone was extremely calm, and he told some extremely important information.
Heiyun Pavilion is the intelligence agency of the Wei Dynasty and has some important locations.
The Wei Dynasty had two intelligence agencies, one was the Jinyi Tianwei, which was responsible for supervision in various places, and the other was the Black Cloud Pavilion.
Jinyi Tianwei is an intelligence agency on the surface, while Heiyun Pavilion is an intelligence agency in the shadows, deploying many spies and undercover agents to serve His Majesty directly.
It's just that Heiyun Pavilion declined in the era of Emperor Wu. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and Heiyun Pavilion was also instigated to rebel. Although they all served the royal family, there were not many people who belonged to them, only a small part.
This is also the reason why she founded the Jinyi Tianwei. She needed a more powerful intelligence agency to keep an eye on the vassal kings, the Confucian officials of the Wei Dynasty, and all the civil and military officials.
Unfortunately, after the emergence of the Jinyi Tianwei, all forces wanted to get involved and intervened one after another. As a result, although the Jinyi Tianwei was established and had a large number of people, there were not many people who were truly loyal to them.
The empress understands what kind of power she needs, one that has considerable strength and is unconditionally loyal to her and will not be bribed by others.
But are there such people? There are almost no such people. Just like the Jinyi Tianwei, he obviously created it by himself, but what happened in the end? Either the prince arranged for his son to enter, or the prince arranged for his subordinates to enter.
It is said that the name is to expand the strength of Jinyi Tianwei, but is it okay to deceive the child and fool her? Is this possible?
An organization that is not completely loyal to itself is a loser.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The empress' eyes were extremely calm as she stared at the latter.
The other party remained silent and waited quietly.
After a long time, the empress' voice sounded.
"I, got it."
When the empress' voice sounded, the latter spoke.
"Long live your Majesty, my subordinates, please retire."
The latter figure disappeared.
She was the only one left in the hall.
But at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Your Majesty! Gu Shangshu has sent an urgent memorial. Please read it."
It was Zhao Waner's voice. She was holding a memorial and walking towards her gracefully and gracefully.
After receiving the memorial, the empress opened it.
Then he folded the memorial again.
"Your Majesty, what did Gu Shangshu say?"
Zhao Waner squeezed the empress' shoulders and asked at the same time.
"Let the merchants from Beijing donate silver."
This is not a big deal, the empress said directly, closing her eyes and enjoying the short relaxation.
"Does Your Majesty agree?"
Zhao Wan asked curiously, this kind of thing is nothing, you can ask, it will not make His Majesty angry, and His Majesty will even ask what he means.
"There is no need to ask Beijing merchants to donate the waterwheel project. Even if Beijing merchants donate, it will have no effect."
"I'll get back to you later. I won't allow it."
The empress replied.
Let Jingshang donate? How much money can be donated?
Ten thousand taels or one hundred thousand taels? One million taels is great, so what? People donate one million taels, and you still want to give them benefits. In this way, it is completely unnecessary.
She was a little curious, why did Gu Yan make such a request? It was unnecessary.
"My slave understands."
"However, Mr. Gu said that Xu Qingxiao brought up this matter."
Zhao Waner reminded that this was not something Gu Yan brought up, but something brought up by Xu Qingxiao and Xu Shouren.
"Xu Shouren proposed it?"
The empress slowly opened her eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Waner nodded and said.
"Yes."
The next moment, the empress spoke calmly and agreed directly.
Zhao Waner: "."
Although she didn’t know why the empress agreed immediately after hearing that it was Xu Qingxiao’s idea, what Zhao Waner understood was that Xu Qingxiao was now the most popular person in the Wei Dynasty.
It is reasonable for Your Majesty to do this.
"The slave will send someone to inform Master Gu later."
Zhao Waner spoke slowly.
The empress nodded and said nothing more.
But there were three things that kept popping up in her mind.
The waterwheel project was naturally the first major event, followed by the Wen Gong affair, and finally the Northern Expedition.
These three things are the choices and crises that Wei is facing now. The collusion between the three businessmen cannot escape her eyes.
It's just that she has no way to solve this matter.
Be tougher? The people behind Sanshang are not ordinary people. If they dare to be tougher, all kinds of voices will be heard. Moreover, Wei Wei will not take the matter seriously.
After all, merchants pursue profit, buy and sell, and Wei can't afford the price they sell. Who would agree to do it directly? At least the groups behind the three merchants would not agree.
Moreover, all countries see it. The Wei Dynasty is a dynasty, and every move is watched by the world. If you do anything wrong, you will be scolded by the world. If you do something right, it often cannot be publicized.
After all, there is still no military power. If all military power is in one's own hands, then everything will be out of the question.
As for the matter of the Great Wei Wen Palace, it is also a troublesome matter. This is a signal.
Mental repression is sometimes more terrifying than repression in terms of national strength. When a vassal king rebels, no matter who wins, the Wei Dynasty will still belong to the royal family.
And if the Wen Palace is really separated, this is not a trivial matter. The bone marrow of the Wei Dynasty has been removed. Unless a saint appears again, otherwise, for the Wei Dynasty, it will be no less than seven more Northern Expeditions.
This involves a lot.
But the good thing is that there are a group of upright scholars in the Great Wei Wen Palace. With them here, it is not easy to separate the Great Wei Wen Palace, at least if you have not done anything wrong.
They have no chance.
It's nothing more than causing some sabotage, such as the Taiping Poetry Society, deliberately letting go of the situation, hoping to rely on the talents of the Ten Kingdoms to suppress the literary world of the Wei Dynasty, thereby creating opportunities and creating negative effects after he ascends the throne.
She has encountered this method too many times, so she doesn't care at all, as long as she doesn't hurt her bones.
As for the Northern Expedition, it is still early and there is almost no need to think about it.
"I still need a group of loyal people."
After all, the empress closed her eyes again. She needed a group of people who were truly loyal to her, and she had to ensure that these people would only be loyal to herself and would never be loyal to others.
It's a pity that such people are hard to find, and cultivating dead soldiers is of little significance, because she doesn't need dead soldiers, what she needs is a group of sharp swords that roam among the court and the people.
As for whether she will hurt herself, she doesn't care about that. A person who can become an emperor doesn't have so many scruples. Loyalty ranks first and ability ranks second.
The rest doesn't matter.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The Wei court sent Gu Yan's fold back, approved it, and approved it.
It's already time.
After Gu Yan got the discount, he didn't even attend the morning court. He went to draft the donation notice in person. In less than half an hour, he read it over and over again. After he was sure, he asked the Ministry of Revenue to print a copy and post it in the capital.
After everything was done, Gu Yan couldn't help but look at the slightly lit sky. His eyes were both curious and full of worry.
He was curious about what method Xu Qingxiao would use to solve this matter.
I was also worried whether Xu Qingxiao would do something wrong.
And at this time.
Inside Shouren Academy.
Xu Qingxiao was also thinking about something.
The current crisis has all emerged.
Someone clearly wants to stop the waterwheel project, and will do so at a huge cost.
A crisis has also emerged in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, and his personal safety is also a big problem.
These things must be sorted out and sorted out by oneself.
Find a way to cope.
Otherwise, you will be completely limited by it.
Since he entered Kyoto, he has encountered one thing after another, causing a big disturbance in the Ministry of Justice, beheading the prince in anger, beheading the merchants, and the Taiping Poetry Society.
Which thing is a trivial matter?
Every thing is a big deal, and every thing brings more or less trouble to myself.
He offended the great Confucians of the lineage of Zhu Sheng, Wen Gongzun of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Offended Prince Huaining.
Offended many feudal kings.
It also offended many powerful people in the Wei Dynasty.
Moreover, because he entered the imperial examination too early, he also attracted the attention of demons. The only good thing is that with Da Wei Wen Palace here, he basically does not need to worry about demons coming to trouble him as long as he does not leave Da Wei.
All of the above things must come to an end.
And you can't solve troubles again and again, only to get into new troubles again and again. This is extremely detrimental to yourself.
There must be a corresponding method.
This is what Xu Qingxiao is thinking about.
And all the problems can be summed up in one sentence.
The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light.
The enemies are all hiding in the dark, and each one of them is an old bastard. This is the core of the problem.
So I can't go on like this. If I continue like this, I will be led by the other party's lead.
"I need a force."
"A force that can check and balance the court and the people."
Xu Qingxiao quickly understood what she was lacking right now.
A force.
And this power must be sharp, sharp enough to scare the six tribes, sharp enough to scare the scholars of the Wei Dynasty, and sharp enough to frighten the dignitaries of the Wei Dynasty and all the vassal kings.
And with this power, the answer instantly appeared in Xu Qingxiao's mind.
【Eunuch】
Yes, they are eunuchs.
The eunuchs of the Wei Dynasty were slaves. A slave without any status could also be called a slave.
They practice martial arts in the palace. Since they have no lifeblood, they are more devoted to practice. Therefore, there are many eunuchs in the palace who are very powerful, but they are not used in daily life.
With forces like the Jinyi Heavenly Guard and the Royal Forest Army existing, there is no need for eunuchs to do the guard work.
Therefore, the eunuchs' responsibilities, in addition to serving tea and water and reporting various news on weekdays, are to block arrows. If someone really wants to assassinate His Majesty, they will come out and die on his behalf.
Moreover, the eunuchs of the Wei Dynasty were not welcomed at all. The emperor regarded them as slaves, as did all the civil and military officials. Everyone in the capital laughed at these eunuchs. Can people with no lifeblood still be normal people?
Basically, the eunuchs sent to the palace were extremely poor at home, or they were abandoned babies adopted by some old eunuchs outside.
Otherwise, who in a normal family would want their children to go to the palace to be eunuchs?
It is precisely because of this that these eunuchs have extremely low self-esteem and desperately want to be recognized by others. But without their lifeblood, who will recognize them? Even women will not recognize them.
And they know this, so they really hope that one day they can be distinguished in front of others.
After all, the more you have nothing, the more you want to show something. This is why many men want to brag that something is awesome.
On the contrary, women are usually demeaned, such as, what's the use of being so big? Doesn't it look ugly?
This is a human nature issue.
But Xu Qingxiao noticed the details that no one in the world noticed.
The eunuch force is an extremely powerful force. They have strength and live in the palace. They are all very thoughtful. Those who are not careful will die long ago.
And because of physical defects, they have some inner deformities. Of course, this does not mean that all eunuchs are like this, but most of them must be like this.
Coupled with the cold looks and contempt they have received from civil and military officials all year round, they want to stand up more than anyone else.
The most important thing is that they will be loyal to His Majesty, and they will be loyal to His Majesty to the death.
The reason is very simple. What are eunuchs? They are slaves of the Heavenly Family. They cannot control the court unless there are special circumstances.
Eunuchs have no descendants and cannot rebel.
People in the world are afraid of eunuchs, but they will never be the same as eunuchs in their hearts. This is instinctive contempt. On the surface, they may call them father-in-law, but behind their backs, they may say that hermaphrodites are bad ass.
And their power, their glory, everything they have is a reward from His Majesty.
The country is ruined, and the enemy will not let these eunuchs go, especially the eunuchs who bring disaster to the country and the people.
After all, after the civil servants and generals surrender, they can help themselves manage the country and help them fight outside. What is the use of a group of eunuchs? Which emperor likes a person who sells himself for glory?
Any eunuch with a brain will understand the above three points.
Therefore, these eunuchs will only support the emperor without any brains. Unless the emperor has no effect at all, then they may deceive the emperor. But if it is such an emperor, whether the eunuchs deceive the emperor is second. Will the civil and military officials bully the emperor?
?Will the vassal kings in various places bully you?
These are all problems.
Then when they are around the emperor, they will serve the emperor wholeheartedly, forming an extremely powerful force. They will collect whatever information they are asked to collect.
They will kill whoever they are asked to kill, and even later, if that party is too powerful and the empress cannot suppress it, then these eunuchs will investigate on their own, discover the other party's problems, and directly execute them in public.
Throughout ancient and modern times, we really have to look back and see that since ancient times, eunuchs have indeed caused a lot of harm to the country and the people, but who is the person behind them? Isn't it the emperor?
It's just that some emperors were indeed bewitched, but most emperors were directing behind the scenes. He decided who to kill and who not to kill. What qualifications did the eunuch have to decide?
Just like Liu Qin and Wei Zhongxian, no matter how powerful they are, the Eight Tigers, and the Nine Thousand Years Old, they still end up dead under an imperial edict.
Therefore, if the eunuch's power can be well utilized, it will be an extremely sharp sword for Wei.
Especially now, this sword will never hurt Wei Dynasty, it will only eradicate dissidents for the Empress of Wei Dynasty.
When you really hurt yourself, you can completely recast a new sword. This group of eunuchs also fights with each other. After all, these people don't care about kindness at all.
It is not wrong to say that they are profit-seeking villains, but it is extremely easy for villains to take advantage of them.
Eunuch party.
We must cultivate eunuchs.
"If the eunuch party can really be formed, it can solve many things for me. All the ins and outs of the three business affairs can be clearly investigated."
"The behavior of all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the Wei Dynasty is right in front of my eyes. There is no need to worry or be wary."
"In fact, there is no shortage of real masters among this group of eunuchs. When I leave the palace in the future, there will be people to protect me."
"As for someone bribing them or trying to please them, it doesn't matter. The more greedy they are, the easier it is for me to control them and the easier it is for Your Majesty to control them."
"If they disobey me, then their time of death has come. As a sixth-rank scholar in the Wei Dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I have the support of the people, and I have martial arts strength. If you dare to rebel against me, you will die."
"However, I must also be careful in advance. After all, if this group of eunuchs truly develops, they will be an extremely terrifying force."
"For Your Majesty, this is an extremely sharp sword, and it is difficult to bite the master. But for me, it is not necessarily the case. I need to be cautious and cautious."
"There must be countermeasures."
Xu Qingxiao did not lose her mind because of the eunuchs and cultivated the eunuchs, but she did, but she also had to have a trump card.
It can suppress the eunuch's trump card.
If one day these eunuchs dare to rebel, then I will kill them directly.
After all, the eunuchs are His Majesty's force after all, and they can only help themselves at the moment.
Cultivating one's own power is very troublesome. I am the Minister of Household Affairs, and I am not a super powerful person. Although I am a viscount, compared with the powerful people in the Wei Dynasty.
I'm not even a fart. How strong is his background? What is his background? To put it mildly, he's a viscount, but to put it badly, he can't even be considered an entry-level person.
So if you want to cultivate your own power, it will be very difficult.
But soon, Xu Qingxiao suddenly thought of something.
"How could I forget this thing!"
"Hey! It's really a bit stupid."
Xu Qingxiao slapped his thigh. He felt that he was really stupid.
He forgot something, and this thing is a super trump card, a trump card that can make any force fearful as long as it grows up.
Even His Majesty, unless he is sure to break up with me, otherwise, this trump card will make His Majesty not dare to cause trouble for me.
And this countermeasure is also very simple.
It's even quite simple.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao began to write frantically on rice paper to formulate her own plan.
If this plan succeeds, Xu Qingxiao will not be afraid of not only becoming the enemy of the Wen Palace and the dignitaries of the Wei Dynasty, but also the entire civil and military officials in the court.
About half an hour.
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Among the streets.
Li Shouming took a sip of the medicinal soup and then walked out of the house.
He self-destructed his Mingyi yesterday and his path of Confucianism and Taoism was completely ruined. Moreover, his body also suffered a certain amount of backlash, and he needed medicinal soup to make up for it.
Li Shouming has no regrets about yesterday's impulse. If he really regrets it, the only thing he regrets is that he didn't scold Sun Jing'an properly.
As a scholar of the Wen Palace, he could understand that he would not favor the students of the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, but he could not accept that he always favored the talents of the Ten Kingdoms, causing the Wei Dynasty to be humiliated.
But anger is anger, and anger is anger.
But it doesn't make any sense anymore.
After all, I am just a young Confucian scholar with a clear conscience, and I cannot do what Xu Qingxiao did, insulting a great Confucian scholar with eternal poems.
There is no vision of talent traveling three thousand miles east.
I am just an ordinary person. I used to be a little better, a Confucian scholar, but now I am an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Li Shouming couldn't help but look up at the three thousand miles of talent, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
He once complained about Xu Qingxiao, and even thought that Xu Qingxiao was extremely arrogant. But today, he understands Xu Qingxiao too well, and he also understands the situation of Great Wei Wen Palace too well.
He even felt a little guilty. Without understanding many things, he became hostile to Xu Qingxiao. But looking back, Xu Qingxiao had only quarreled with Da Ru and had no ill intentions towards them.
In comparison, the two have completely different demeanor.
Perhaps, this is a great talent.
Li Shouming was walking on the street with this thought in his mind.
At this moment, dozens of figures suddenly appeared next to Li Shouming.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
"Brother Li, are you feeling better?"
"Brother Li, you were really impulsive yesterday."
Dozens of figures appeared. These people were all students of the Great Wei Palace. They had gathered together and planned to go to a restaurant to discuss something.
Unexpectedly, I saw Li Shouming on the road, so I naturally approached them one by one and asked about Li Shouming's condition.
After all, they were all classmates once. Li Shouming now abandoned Confucianism and Taoism and left the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty. However, they did not dislike him and did not draw boundaries. The reason was for no other reason. In the final analysis, Sun Jing'an did something too much yesterday.
Li Shouming was just a little impulsive, but his impulsiveness was not brainless. Instead, he had backbone and blood. Naturally, everyone came here to ask.
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious."
"Let's not talk about what happened yesterday."
Seeing all the classmates approaching and asking questions, Li Shouming still felt a little warm in his heart.
However, he did not want to continue discussing what happened yesterday, so as not to involve everyone.
"There's nothing I can't say. Sun Ru himself did something wrong."
"That's right, if it weren't for Brother Xu, we would have been completely embarrassed yesterday."
"Brother Li, to be honest, after you destroyed Confucianism and Taoism yesterday, I wanted to join you, but I don't have the courage like you, and I feel ashamed to say it."
"The most important thing for us scholars is to cultivate great righteousness, destroy Confucianism and Taoism, and damage the foundation. In the future, let alone become a great Confucian, it will be difficult even to return to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, I will definitely destroy Confucianism yesterday.
road."
"Well, Brother Li, everyone knows about your matter. Many people in the Wen Palace are complaining about your injustice. They have even contacted several great scholars. It won't be long before Sun Ru will express his position."
"If Sun Ru expressed his stance, would you still be willing to return to Wen Palace?"
Everyone spoke up, and some people were indignant. Yesterday they wanted to destroy Confucianism and Taoism like Li Shouming, but they still didn't have the courage. After all, as scholars, they wanted to improve their Confucianism and Taoism.
Otherwise, you can only teach in this life, which is of no use. After all, Confucian scholars, not to mention future glory and wealth, are at least respected by many people, which makes it very difficult for them to give up.
But some people also asked Li Shouming if he would be willing to come back if Sun Ru gave him a chance to step down.
"not going."
Li Shouming's attitude was very resolute. He had already destroyed Confucianism and Taoism, and there was no need to return to the Great Wei Palace. If nothing happened in the future, he would go back to his hometown in the county and become a teacher.
As soon as he said this, everyone sighed.
At this moment, another group of students came over, each with some anger on their faces.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"
The Confucian scholars who accompanied Li Shouming couldn't help but be curious and asked what happened to these people and why they all looked so ugly.
The latter walked over quickly. When he saw Li Shouming, he was slightly silent, but finally spoke.
"Wen Gong gave the result. Sun Ru was not at fault. He said that Brother Li was a bit extreme, but Wen Gong was also willing to give Brother Li a chance. As long as he apologized to Sun Ru and allowed Brother Li to return to Wen Gong."
He said with an ugly expression.
Yesterday, after Li Shouming destroyed Confucianism and Taoism, they felt angry and uncomfortable, so today many literati went to the Wen Palace to express their grievances for Li Shouming and hope that the Wen Palace would give an explanation.
What I didn't expect was that the explanation given by Wen Gong was this.
He believed that Sun Ru was not at fault for protecting the face of Wei Dynasty. On the contrary, Li Shouming was a bit extreme for not respecting the great Confucian. However, Wen Gong did not reprimand Li Shouming. After all, if he reprimanded him again, it would be a bit excessive.
Finally, a choice was given. As long as Li Shouming apologized to Sun Ru, the matter would be over.
This result was unacceptable to many literati.
But this result was also issued by the senior officials of Wen Palace, which means there is no possibility of any change.
For now, Li Shouming is still willing to go back, as long as he keeps his head down, everything will be fine.
But they have already destroyed Confucianism and Taoism. Who would agree to this?
"This is the result? It's really hateful."
"To be honest, what Wen Gong did this time made me feel chilled."
"Brother Li is certainly a bit extreme, but in the final analysis, it's not because of"
They were indignant, but when they reached this point, they were stopped by Li Shouming.
"Okay, brothers, Li understands your thoughts. Don't say any more, otherwise it will bring you trouble."
Li Shouming spoke and asked everyone not to continue talking, otherwise they would cause some other troubles.
As soon as this was said, all the scholars fell silent.
At this moment, another voice sounded.
"One more thing. The Ten Nations are planning to go back today. They have lost completely and are unwilling to participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival again."
There was a sound, and the literati in Wei Dynasty became a little unhappy for a moment.
"Don't want to participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival again? Are they dreaming? They were so arrogant a few days ago, and now there are still two days left, so they won't participate?"
"How is this possible? I have already prepared to ridicule them today, and they are leaving Kyoto today?"
"What are you thinking about? We won't allow it."
The literati shouted again.
These great talents from ten countries have been showing off their power in the past few days, but now they are frightened by Xu Qingxiao, so they want to run away?
How are they willing?
Yesterday, they were all shocked by the three thousand talents, so before they had time to be sarcastic, they found that the top talent of the Ten Kingdoms had slipped away.
They all thought about going back to sarcastically tonight.
But what I didn't expect was that they ran away immediately? Even though I was scared away, it was a good thing.
But are they unhappy?
It's like going to a dark restaurant to eat, and being blackmailed, threatened, and even verbally abused by the boss. As soon as you reveal your identity, the boss runs away.
Is this cool? It’s not cool at all.
"There is nothing that is not allowed. The request for instructions has been given to Sun Ru, and Sun Ru has also consulted with all the great Confucians and has given permission. In the next two days, we will participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival. The vacant talents from various countries will be let
More scholars are filling in."
Someone spoke up and told everyone to stop saying anything. Wen Gong had already made this decision.
But as soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but get angry.
"It's Sun Ru again, really hateful."
"Be careful what you say."
"Be careful with your nonsense, I won't go today either."
"I'm not going either."
"This Taiping Poetry Society is too cowardly."
When they spoke out, they actually felt disgusted.
The literati talked about it a lot, and then even made an appointment to go to their home to discuss the matter.
"Everyone, let me take my leave first. I want to be alone."
However, Li Shouming in the crowd sighed. He said goodbye to everyone and did not want to pay attention to these things.
As soon as he said this, no one tried to stop him. After all, it was good for Li Shouming to be alone when something like this happened.
In this way, Li Shouming left alone, and the literati looked at Li Shouming leaving with inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
soon.
About two quarters of an hour.
Li Shouming walked.
But unknowingly, he arrived outside Shouren Academy.
Looking at the extremely simple Shouren Academy.
Li Shouming admired Xu Qingxiao even more. Many literati in the Wen Palace said that Xu Qingxiao was extremely arrogant. But compare it with the luxury of the Wen Palace, and compare it with the fact that Xu Qingxiao is so talented, but the school is so simple.
This made him feel even more guilty about Xu Qingxiao.
Thinking of this, Li Shouming couldn't help but walk towards Shouren Academy.
Stepping into the hall, Li Shouming's voice sounded.
"Excuse me, Xu Shouren, is Mr. Xu here?"
A gentle voice sounded.
The next moment, a figure walked over, it was Yang Hu.
"Who is sir?"
Yang Hu glanced at Li Shouming and saw that Li Shouming was wearing a Confucian robe, so he seemed more polite.
"My Excellency, Li Shouming, is a literati from the Wei Dynasty. I would like to come to visit Mr. Xu. I would also like to ask you to inform me. If there is any disturbance, please do not blame Mr. Xu."
Li Shouming said this.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment."
Yang Hu didn't think much and turned around to report.
And inside Shouren Academy.
Xu Qingxiao has already arranged all the plans.
Next, you only need to wait for the execution, and then all the troubles will be completely solved in a short period of time, and you will still have two extremely powerful forces.
One belongs to His Majesty.
The other one is my own.
But at this moment, Yang Hu's voice sounded.
"Sir, there is a man named Li Shouming outside who wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"
Yang Hu asked directly.
And Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
Li Shouming? He knows this name. He was the man who destroyed himself at the Taiping Poetry Meeting yesterday.
He is a passionate scholar.
But what does he want to do with me?
But after thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao said calmly.
"See."
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao remembered the plan in his mind, and the next moment he put it on the candle to burn.
Wait until it is completely burned.
Xu Qingxiao walked out of the room, and the next moment, Li Shouming had appeared.
"Li, I have met Xu Shouren, Mr. Xu."
Seeing Xu Qingxiao, Li Shouming immediately bowed to Xu Qingxiao, appearing respectful.
"I've met Brother Li."
Xu Qingxiao returned the favor and said so.
"Ashamed, ashamed."
"Master Xu is the Minister of Household Affairs and a sixth-grade scholar. This call of Brother Li makes Li feel extremely ashamed."
Li Shouming spoke from the heart.
"Brother Li, you're welcome. Come and have tea."
Xu Qingxiao asked the other party to sit down and was also curious about what the other party wanted to do with her.
"There's no need to sit down. The main reason I came here today is to apologize to Mr. Xu."
"In the past, Mr. Li was ignorant and listened to other people's deceptions, and he became resentful towards Mr. Xu. Today he has come to his senses, so he paid a visit to Mr. Xu and specifically apologized to Mr. Xu. I also hope that Mr. Xu will be magnanimous and forgive Mr. Li for his stupid sin."
Li Shouming did not sit down, but bowed deeply to Xu Qingxiao to express his apology.
When he said this, Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised.
He really didn't expect that the other party came to him to apologize.
This guy still has some conscience.
If you know you're wrong, correct it.
Not bad.
"Brother Li is serious."
"Take your seat first."
Xu Qingxiao pulled Li Shouming to sit down. It was not that he was so magnanimous, but that Xu Qingxiao needed people now, especially literati.
Li Shouming seems to be pretty good at the moment, so let’s have a chat first to see if he is sincere.
"Master Xu, I'm ashamed."
Li Shouming sat down, but he still looked extremely ashamed. He was like this, but he didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to treat him like this. How could he not be ashamed?
"Brother Li is really being serious. In fact, Xu does not disrespect the saint, but Xu has his own way. Xu has also learned the way of Zhu Sage and deeply admires it, but everyone has his own way."
"If you're not suitable, you're not suitable. I didn't expect that some people would speak ill of me and ruin Xu's reputation, but it doesn't matter. Xu just believes in his own way and that's fine."
Xu Qingxiao poured tea for the other party and explained her thoughts at the same time.
These words were not meant to be polite or to please the other party, but were sincere.
He never disrespected Zhu Sheng.
It’s just that it’s not suitable for me.
It’s impossible to force yourself to learn the way of the Zhusheng, right?
"Li used to not understand, but now he understands."
"That's why I came here specifically to apologize and hope that Sir Xu can forgive me, otherwise Li will be uneasy."
Li Shouming said this.
"Xu won't remember such a small thing in his heart. This cup of tea will be used as a wash of grudges."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly, raised the tea cup in her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Master Xu, you are magnanimous."
After receiving Xu Qingxiao's understanding, Li Shouming couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he drank the tea in one gulp.
Soon, Li Shouming couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Sir Xu, I have always been very curious, what exactly does your mind study mean?"
After the grudges were settled, Li Shouming also asked a question.
What exactly is Xu Qingxiao’s philosophy of mind?
"In fact, it literally means the unity of knowledge and action."
"If you know you're wrong, you should correct it."
"Understand the truth and practice it."
"Why are there people in this world who feel sorry for themselves? In fact, they either don't know the truth, or they don't practice the truth."
"If you know and act, and act and know, you will develop a conscience, understand the great principles clearly, understand the great principles, and understand the great principles."
Xu Qingxiao explains the Xin Xue. This is his own understanding and does not represent the real Xin Xue.
But Li Shouming seemed a little thoughtful.
He remained silent.
Sitting in front of Xu Qingxiao, she fell into deep thought.
Time passed little by little.
A quarter of an hour.
Half an hour.
One hour.
Finally, Li Shouming, whose eyes were a little blurry, suddenly became clear.
"I feel like I know something, but I'm a little confused."
"But I think this path is very interesting to me."
"Master Xu, can I join your school of thought?"
"As long as you don't dislike me for destroying Confucianism, I am willing to join your school and become your student."
Li Shouming spoke, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
And as soon as I said this.
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly.
"Since I have established my studies, I naturally accept every student."
"If you are truly willing, bow to me three times and kowtow nine times, and enter my heart to learn, you will be the senior brother of Shouren Academy from now on."
Xu Qingxiao spoke, he didn't care about the other party's self-destruction of Confucianism.
And as Xu Qingxiao answered like this.
Li Shouming knelt down directly towards Xu Qingxiao without any hesitation.
Perform three prostrations and nine kowtows.
He studied with his heart.
restart.
And at this moment.
The talent that hung three thousand miles from east to west suddenly burst out with a burst of literary energy, pouring into Li Shouming's body like a real dragon.
This kind of phenomenon also attracted the attention of many people.
Li Shouming's injuries also healed in an instant.
And the billowing talent entered his body, and in an instant, he recovered to the seventh level.
