After leaving Jiangning for nearly a year, it is natural that Ning Yi would be unfamiliar with some things in this city. If he could know the expansion of Zhuji in the past year, as well as the names of several newly built restaurants and teahouses in the city
, presumably the doubts in my heart will be swept away.
In the past year, Zhuji has opened a total of three new stores. The first one, Mingyuelou, has now become one of the largest restaurants and entertainment venues in Jiangning. With meals, performances and various activities, the store is bustling with activity.
The second teahouse is called Qingyuan, which is composed of courtyards or private rooms with different styles. It is mostly a gathering place for literati and poets. Some women who are not prostitutes are sitting in the teahouse, which is very elegant. As for the third teahouse, it is Yiyi.
Lanju's style is somewhere in between the two. It's not very lively, but the sound of silk and bamboo is there, and occasionally people tell stories. It's similar to the Western restaurants of later generations. It's a bit bourgeois, but it's also a normal place to eat.
The three stores are actually transformed from Ning Yi's previous ideas, with different styles. In fact, they still rely on Kang Xian's support. Princess Chengguo's Mansion in Jiangning has never participated in social interactions, but in fact it is a domineering behemoth with intricate connections.
Kang Xian issued an order, and when some shopping mall bosses came to support Zhuji, they probably didn't even know that the order came from the Prince Consort.
In fact, some things were already being done when Ning Yi left. He contacted some brothel girls who were not prostitutes to work in Zhuji, and also bought some young boys and girls to train storytellers, juggling, acting, etc. The older ones
You can help out in the store a little bit. For these things, Ning Yi once took a sum of money from Kang Xian, saying it was the copyright fee for the previous disaster relief booklet, which was quite reasonable.
However, Yunzhu felt that this was a loan, and in recent months she had been paying Kang Xian back one after another. Kang Xian didn't want it, but she was stubborn and felt that Kang Xian had been inquiring about Ning Yi. What's going on here?
He still owed him money. In the end, Kang Xian had no choice but to accept it. Secretly, he promoted the reputation of Zhuji Mingyue Tower and Qingyuan, and went to Mingyue Tower for large and small banquets, gatherings of literati, or doing some poetry
He would go to Qingyuan for meetings and other events. On the New Year's Eve of that year, he organized and held the poetry meeting of Laichuan Academy in Qingyuan. He immediately became famous. After the year, Yilanju no longer needed his advertisement.
.
Arriving all the way to the Prince Consort's Mansion and finding Kang Xian who was watching a movie with his family, the Prince Consort first talked about the development of Bamboo Records in the recent period. Ning Yi came back from Hangzhou. Everything that happened during this period, he
Basically, everything is clear, and there is no more trouble or fuss. There is no need to use these as courtesy.
"...There is one thing that is very interesting. In the front hall of Qingyuan, a lot of poems were collected and made into plaques, and a few of your poems were placed at the front. When there was a poetry meeting at Lichuan Academy on New Year's Eve, a Qingyu case
It was there that not many people dared to write lyrics and show off their shame, and this matter has been talked about ever since."
After saying hello to Zhou Xuan, Ning Yi followed Kang Xian towards the back garden. When he heard him talk like this, Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this too much?"
"Well, no..." Kang Xian waved his hand. "Of course your girl Yunzhu helped you publicize it, but I was there at the time. I don't know why, but everyone always talked about your Qingyu case. That night I wrote Yuan
There are really fewer people who write Xi poetry. Some people say that you have exhausted the beauty of your lyric skills and the meaning of your music, and there are very few lyrics in the world. Haha... But the few songs you wrote in Hangzhou can actually be as majestic as before.
You are so grand and graceful to the extreme. If these people know about it, I am afraid they will really... say you are a poet or ci sage..."
Ning Yi frowned: "How many songs are there in Hangzhou?"
"It's the one who often remembers the sunset in the creek pavilion. I am so drunk that I don't know the way back. I return to the boat late after my excitement and stray into the depths of lotus flowers... This short song is like a dream. It makes people feel as if they are in front of their eyes. You can also use this kind of words
I can write it..."
After all, Kang Xian was a literati. Even if he secretly valued the practical aspects like Qin Siyuan, there is no Confucian successor who is not good at poetry. Ning Yi smiled: "I didn't write that."
"Other people are fine, but you don't have to say this in front of me. Do you remember the other lines? Three mountains are halfway out of the blue sky, and two rivers separate Bailuzhou. You have written this poem in front of me and Siyuan earlier.
, it was just a fragment of a sentence at first, but this time in Hangzhou, you completed it. The Phoenix travels on the Phoenix platform, and the Phoenix goes to the platform and the Kongjiang River flows by itself. The flowers and plants of the Wu palace are buried in the quiet paths, and the clothes of the Jin Dynasty become ancient hills. The three mountains are half fallen to the blue sky.
, Bailuzhou is divided into two rivers. Floating clouds can always block the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad..."
Kang Xian read it out, and at the end, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "If someone told me that, I wouldn't believe it. The poems are so exquisite that you have no need to write them. Only this last sentence
, showing your true feet, always because the floating clouds can block the sun, missing Chang'an makes people sad. When you wrote poems, you imitated the style of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that you were too lazy to change it at that time, including the poem "Chang Ji Xi Ting Sunset"
I don’t know how much time you have spent on similar words and phrases... To be honest, I don’t believe it if you really say that it is all smooth. But for you, this poem is probably no longer a poem to express your feelings, it is purely about you...
...Sigh, I don’t know how to say it. Should I praise you or scold you a few words to be worthy of myself? In short, with people like you here, how can I feel embarrassed. I don’t know if I want you to write more poems in the future.
, I might as well ask you to stop writing..."
All in all, when talking about this, the old man sighed at first, and then became depressed. Ning Yi naturally understood the meaning. Kang Xian regarded these poems as being written by him. When ordinary people write poems and lyrics, there must be something wrong.
His own style, but the poems he copied before were all bold and heroic, but he just threw them to Liu Xigua, and Li Qingzhao also threw them out. It was nonsense at the time, but these two completely different styles fell in Kang Xian's eyes, so
It has become another meaning.
Being able to play with several different styles of writing to perfection can only prove that the author has far exceeded this level, or that Ning Yi is such a genius, enough to play with words in his hands to perfection. As long as needed, he can use it
He substituted himself into the style of the Tang Dynasty and wrote poems such as "Ascending the Phoenix Tower of Jinling" or completely different scenes such as "The Journey of a Knight" and "Like a Dream".
If you just say this, it would be hard to believe, but of course there are still various geniuses in the world. Just like some modern genius mathematicians, their greatness is not because of the logic that ordinary people can understand, but because of the numbers themselves.
In their eyes, it is alive. There must be such people in every era. Kang Xian may not have seen similar people. After he was able to confirm that this poem was written by Ning Yi, he ruled out all possibilities.
One can only regard Ning Yi as such a genius. Even if he has no respect for poetry, the poetry itself is like mud in his hands, which can be rounded and flattened casually. For a literati who has studied tirelessly all his life
Speaking of which, this is naturally frustrating.
He already thought so, and Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh. After a while, Kang Xiancai said: "It's okay for you to hang these poems on the rebels. I guess you don't care if there is a chance to clear your name in the future."
Yes. However, if you decide to go to Beijing, I have something to ask you before that... We could have talked about it in a few days, but we have already thought about it for too long."
At this time, they had arrived at the pavilion in the center of the garden behind. There was no one around, Kang Xian's expression became serious, and Ning Yi also frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Those things you did in the Ba Dao Camp were carefully considered by you. What exactly did you want to do?"
"For the time being, it's just used to deceive people."
"Really?" the old man asked, staring over with stern eyes, but Ning Yi's eyes didn't fluctuate much, and only after a moment, he smiled slightly.
"It would be a taboo to go any further, I know. You are not the first person to ask me about this recently, ha..." Ning Yi smiled. "But you also know that within a hundred or so years, these
Ideas are of no use at all. They can at best be used to confuse those who have too idealistic ideas. If you care about this, it means you are also an ideal person."
The old man's eyes were stern, he shook slightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course I know. These ideas will be useless in a hundred or so years, but what on earth were you thinking about?"
Ning Yi thought for a while: "Then... we don't talk about Confucianism, we just talk about practicality, something big and simple?"
"Oh, you always don't talk about Confucianism. I'm not a person who can't understand people. I can explain the truth clearly, so let me do as you wish."
"From ancient times to the present. Every time a dynasty changes, what a country will become has been decided from the beginning of its establishment."
The lights shone over, reflecting little bits of light in the pool outside the pavilion, and there was the faint sound of opera singers in the distance. It was peaceful, but Ning Yi knew that the old man in front of him was not just welcoming him back. He was the smartest person in this era.
As a representative of a group of people, some things cannot fool them. If some of the things he wrote and said in the Ba Dao camp enter their ears, they can see the dangerous clues in it. Maybe he is still
I haven't fully figured out the key points, so I may not take this act of my own too seriously, but if I really take it lightly, the old man with a kind smile in front of me also has the ability to turn this place into a Hongmen Banquet... and the courage.
.
Therefore, he thought for a while and started with this sentence.
"The reason for saying this is that when every dynasty begins, the emperor or the ideological trend at that time will decide the dynasty..." He raised his hand and scratched, "it will decide what the ruling class of the dynasty pays more attention to. If
We only ask for one thing, for example, that the country be strong and prosperous, that is very simple, reduce restrictions and let the local development, within three generations, as long as this country is still there, we can flatten the foreigners and regain Youyan, who says it can't be done."
"All dynasties perished by weakness, and the Han Dynasty perished by strength. If we govern the country like the Han Dynasty, we can perish like the Han Dynasty. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties paid more attention to centralization and checks and balances. The art of emperors said that all subordinates must be equal.
People are constantly doubting and reaching a balance. Now we are talking about how to revitalize the armaments. In fact, there is a very simple way. Suppose... I am only making a hypothesis here. Suppose it can be done. Today, the Holy Emperor only needs to release the following control.
Applying the standards of the Han Dynasty, within sixty years, if the Wu Dynasty is still there, then if there is still Liao and Jin in the north, I will chop off my head for you."
Kang Xian looked at him: "What if?"
"Well, hypothetical." Ning Yi nodded: "The reason why it is hypothetical is because it is irresponsible. In the current situation, if we really do this, the princes will rise up in less than twenty years. But I say this just because I want to
In other words, in every dynasty and every generation, we can actually control what we focus on, but there are not many directions we can choose. If we go in one direction, we have to give up other things. If we choose the prosperity of Jiangning today, we will not see it.
The sight of tigers running like clouds and trampling through Helan Mountain is all chosen by myself."
"So what?"
"Ming Gong, I know that the so-called peace of the world in Confucianism is to find the best state. But today we don't talk about it, we only talk about the use. The direction the Wu Dynasty has taken since its establishment has been decided. We Confucianism has established
That network will continue to tighten, tighten, and tighten again. From ancient times to the present, why do reformers never end well? Because any system will spontaneously maintain its own status and trends. Why did the Northern Expedition cause problems?
, because this network has become entangled, and whoever wants to flex his muscles will be covered in blood. Good things and bad things are the same, because no one will have room to flex their muscles. This is the best for the country. This is the foundation of the country.
It was decided at that time that you will not be allowed to move! If this Northern Expedition succeeds, we are really lucky. The force used is also strong enough, but what will happen next, can't you see? The net will be tightened
.”
Ning Yi tilted his head and smiled: "I came back from Hangzhou this time and made a lot of connections. The Su family has a relative named Song Mao and Song Yufan, who is the magistrate of the state in another place. Ming Gong, you also know what will happen next. Wait.
When he comes over, he will come to visit me. Our interests are intertwined and become more powerful, but maybe he is a corrupt official and I will be implicated by him in the future. This is a risk. The property of Princess Chengguo Mansion belongs to the royal family.
It seems that you are in charge of yourself, but you know exactly what kind of involvement you have behind you. These people represent various interests. Duke Qin was assassinated. Those who did it were businessmen who did not want to go to war with the Liao Kingdom. Ming
Sir, are there any such people behind you?"
Kang Xian frowned.
Ning Yi continued: "No one can touch it. At the beginning of the founding of the country, these have been decided. Up to now, the current emperor can't change it. If he wants to change it, even he will get a bloody head. Maybe two generations are willing to take the risk."
Such a danger could lead the country to the other side, but who would really dare?"
"Ming Gong, what you are studying now is Neo-Confucianism. Next, you can talk about preserving the laws of heaven and destroying human desires. What rules should people follow? Everything is clearly defined line by line. How men are like women, how saints are like, they are all carved out in molds. This is
Tao, but to be effective, it means that people can't move, and they can't move more and more. If the Wu Dynasty is the only one in the world today, and it continues to develop like this for a thousand years, the Wu Dynasty will not collapse. This is to create peace for all generations...
But the country has enemies. If we choose this direction, if we are surrounded by rules and regulations and entangled with various interests, in the end it will be like today’s Northern Expedition. I can’t defeat others, and I can’t defeat them more and more..."
"In fact, there is naturally a gap between what you said. I really went astray. There are people from all dynasties and all generations who dare to change the law and get bloody." After thinking for a long time, Kang Xian said slowly, "But generally speaking, it is not the same as yours.
It's similar, that's it, what does it have to do with what you are doing in Naha Sword Camp?"
"It's a bit exaggerated to say that there will be peace forever. In fact, whether it's running a country or engaging in politics, it's usually about checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. It's like holding a steel scale and swinging it all the time. Wherever there is a problem, fix it. As for the overall situation, we just keep moving in the same direction.
Going in the direction, Mencius said that a king will rise in five hundred years, and a dynasty will come to an end in five hundred years. Because it is tightened too tightly, it becomes harder and harder for others to have hope, and their resentment is getting bigger and bigger. Then with a bang,
If the weight falls to the ground, once it falls to the ground, the life of the person will be worse than that of a pig or a dog..."
Ning Yi paused: "But maybe there is a way to avoid this. It may not be the best, but it can avoid the worst."
"Is that what you did?"
"In one sentence, the minority obeys the majority."
Kang Xian laughed: "At that time, how can these minorities, those behind your back and those behind my back, obey the majority?"
"That's a matter of details. Ming Gong, Confucianism has been passed down for so many years. Every generation changes, and the one who comes to the top is called the emperor. Cultural inheritance determines the entire rules and the way the system exists. Suppose there is such a system hundreds or thousands of years later, three or five
When the year changes, if someone wants to rebel, if he has more people, he can naturally go up. Then will anyone still rebel? In the years when people are inferior to pigs and dogs, there will be no more."
"How can it be like this? People just talk and guess the game? And do you know what the thief of Xiang Yuande means? If you are in power, are you willing to give up your power? You will beat these things dry in the few years you are in power.
Clean! And to ensure the continuation of this method, you... where do you place the Holy Spirit? Your idea is treason." At the end of the sentence, Kang Xian had subconsciously lowered his voice.
Ning Yi looked at him: "It's all trivial matters. Ming Gong, don't tell me you didn't think of it. It is the culture that everyone believes in that determines what the dynasty is like. Culture determines the system - I call it the system. If everyone
Believe that the minority obeys the majority is the truth, and some things will slowly work out...and that should be hundreds of years later. Everyone is saying that the minority obeys the majority, I just use another way to say it.
.Ming Gong, let’s be treasonous. If the Wu Dynasty cannot last for five hundred years, shouldn’t we try something new?”
"This is what you think..." Kang Xian sighed after a long time, "A... new play house. Since the Tang Dynasty, he has wanted to reach the world of Datong, donate his family property and live in the mountains to live with me and my family.
There are more than one people in the old life, and they all ended sadly. Yours is different, so I took a closer look. Who knows... what you are thinking about. This idea is too rebellious. You have to restrain yourself, the king of heaven and earth.
Teacher. Some things are immutable. How can you bargain with the majority and the minority?"
The old man talks about being rebellious and unruly. In fact, there is no such meaning in his heart. Philosophy is the end of all disciplines. Since ancient times, many people who study Confucianism have been wild and unruly. They have all kinds of ideas, but not necessarily no one.
Let’s look at the overall situation and see why these thoughts were formed. If we can’t think about it this way, the Analects of Confucius talks more about the principles of life, and how can half of the Analects govern the world.
He is not wary of this, but he is aware of the remoteness of the realization of this idea. If he wants to punish people just because of the saying "the minority obeys the majority", it would be too much. Confucianism also pays attention to the minority obeying the majority, but this
It is based on the concept of the same class, and what Ning Yi just said is just to popularize this concept to everyone. If he wants to do something, it has already touched the core of class divisions such as heaven and earth, king, relatives and teachers, then it is really treason.
. And he just said that this theory might be better, but it was just an overly bold discussion or experiment. Although Kang Xian disagreed, it was not to the extent that he wanted to draw a clear line.
In Kang Xian's eyes, Ning Yi is just a Confucian scholar who wants to create peace for all generations. Although he really doesn't care about Taoism and thinks too much about "use", these ideas are not necessarily without reference.
The meaning is that without Tao, there is a lack of soul.
After all, this is a young man who is too talented and too thoughtful. He sighed: "The reason why you can succeed in Hangzhou is because you always jump outside the rules to do things, and your horizons are always wider than others. But
If you blindly jump outside the rules, something will happen eventually. It's not that you don't understand this, but if you are going to Beijing next, I think I still have to remind you."
"Hmm... But I'm still thinking about going to Beijing. Tan'er is about to give birth to a child, and Privy Council Tong has already started to go north. After all, I don't understand the specific operation of the officialdom. I'm afraid I may not be needed in going to Beijing."
"Hey, it must be useful. When the news about Hangzhou reached Bianjing, he wrote to me, asking you to come up after you come back. You also said that there are too many rules, but what is missing is the ability to break out of them.
People who take a look at it, but people who can take a look outside the rules, are afraid of breaking the rules, and Old Qin may not be able to protect you."
"You've been taught a lesson, I'll pay attention. Let's take a look first, and then we'll talk about it after we finish taking care of the family affairs here."
"Is there anything to be done here? If there are some clowns in your family, I can help. But your wife is pregnant. I think you have to wait until the child is born before leaving. The other thing is just Yunzhu's business. How to decide?
Have you made arrangements?"
"I have a headache. I came here this time to ask your opinion."
"Huh?" Although it was Kang Xian who said the words, he looked very confused at this time, "What's so troublesome about this?"
"A year ago, I thought about leaving the Su family and taking Yunzhu with me. Now I have a headache. Tan'er has already given birth to a child. Should I break up with Yunzhu? But to be honest, I don't know if Yunzhu and I have any relationship.
Generally, the dew of affection of a brothel or a woman who simply sells her body... Hehe, maybe everyone will see themselves this way. But now, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. This is purely what I asked for. I want to hear your opinions, old man.
view."
"Haha...hahahahahahaha -" the old man suddenly laughed. The laughter got louder and louder and never stopped. It took a long time before he stopped slightly: "Haha... I was thinking about you just now.
Although this person has a lazy personality, his abilities and talents are superior to others. If he were placed in troubled times, he might be a hero like Cao Cao, but he didn't expect... Haha, he can do those things casually, and now he is doing such a small thing.
The distress is really... it's actually a bit hilarious."
Ning Yi looked at the old man and curled his lips: "To be honest, I won't let anyone go. I never thought about letting him go. He's a playboy. Men are unreliable. People are worthless. What do others think?
It doesn't matter, my real idea is: they are all mine. Why not? The reason why I asked you to teach me is to let you say more about a man who has three wives and four concubines. Let me make this unreasonable and become more
Be more confident."
Kang Xian spread his hands: "I don't know why you think this is unreasonable..."
"You know... the minority must obey the majority... everyone must be equal..."
"That is to say, you, your wife, and Yunzhu... are all treated equally."
Ning Yi laughed. In fact, the trouble may not be as big as he said. Even in modern times, in the circle he comes into contact with, messy relationships between men and women are the norm. But if he were an ancient man, he would sincerely treat men and women in his heart.
Consider it from a completely different position, and he is a modern person after all. When he really values each other, everyone will really stand on the same line. This is what makes him interesting.
Kang Xian also looked at him for a while, and finally patted his shoulder, his expression became slightly serious: "Ning Liheng, Ning Liheng... To be honest, before, I regarded you as an interesting and useful person.
Children with potential and ability should look at it, but after what I said tonight, I can finally say that there is no precedence in learning, and the master comes first. You and I can sit down and talk about each other without distinction. Are you really thinking about it?
These things, but... hahahahaha..." He said, and couldn't help but laugh, "You are too trapped in your own cocoon..."
Feeling that Ning Yi had really implemented these thoughts into his life, in the laughter, the old man also completely eliminated some of his thoughts and the "rebellious" grudge. Of course, this was a misunderstanding...
"A man has three wives and four concubines and other things to do. The implication is that you should stop taking women's affairs too seriously. Is this unreasonable? I have nothing to say. Your wife respects you quite a lot."
, and you have a child, you should not abandon your wife, otherwise you will be no different from an animal. Miss Nie is so gentle and virtuous, and she is not greedy for your wealth and family status when she waits for you to come back. With her character and character, if there is no stain in the past, she will be a wealthy family.
A real wife should do the same. She really likes you, so she will be happy no matter how you treat her. If you miss this woman, it will be difficult for you to find another one in your life. I have been dealing with these two sisters a lot recently. If you
I'm sorry for her, I'll ask Agui to grab a cloth bag and catch you sinking into the Qinhuai River..."
Ning Yi's mouth twitched, and then he let out a "haha" and laughed heartily.

Whether I am writing a post or not, the post is usually posted between 9 and 10 pm. I cannot be sure that it will be accurate if I post it. The standard is that if it is really bad, I still have to suppress it, but I still have to post it.
