Bright Moon and Breeze(4)

What's the lie? That the two of them have met and made a private decision for life?

That's nonsense! Tongzhou is not close to the capital, so when did they meet? Mrs. Liu is not a particularly familiar person, so she thought that the two of them had some contact in private. But her family would never believe it.

Yes, the girl at home doesn’t go out, where does she go and who accompanies her, that’s all there is to know. There’s no point in making this up!

In other words, one-sidedly fell in love with King Jian, and at a glance, it was unforgettable. Stop talking nonsense! This girl is not a nymphomaniac. What puzzles Lin Yutong about this family is that neither girl

The feet are bound, and the upbringing of a girl is the same as the upbringing of a boy, reading and writing are the same. Even at home, like Gongsun Auntie, she dances with a wooden stick as a sword, and the father of the family doesn't care.

Such a girl who has read so many books suddenly becomes obsessed with sex? Can my brother believe it?

This brother is not an ordinary martial artist, and his mind is not simple at all! She has never figured out why she took the path of a martial artist and did not continue the scientific examination.

But there must be something wrong here!

This is your entry point!

Lin Yutong "shushed" and asked the angry elder brother to calm down first. Let's talk about this matter slowly, right?

Pulling someone to sit down, the brother and sister were across the kang table. You looked at me, and I looked at you.

Lin Yu is really good-looking, upright and bright-eyed. His face is frosty now, which shows that he is really angry. There is no hot water in the house, so I want to pour a cup of tea to relieve the embarrassment, but he can't.

Lin Yutong changed his position again, clasping his hands to warm them, and then said: "Brother, our family's situation is a bit special, right?"

Lin Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why is it so special?"

"Our family is in Tongzhou, a single family, with no relatives or dependents. I'm wondering, where are our relatives?" Lin Yutong sighed, "There must be something behind our family! This matter has already affected your imperial examination. Could this be

Is it a small matter?"

Lin Yu did not refute this, "You also know that it affects the imperial examination, so how can you think that going to the draft can change this situation?"

You guessed it! There is really something wrong with this family! But don’t be afraid if something happens. If something happens, it will affect the imperial examination, and it will not affect your career as an official! After all, you are the ninth rank! The ninth rank of the Ming Dynasty is different from the ninth rank of the Qing Dynasty. This official

It's a real official, even if it's just a military attache. As long as he can be a military attache, it proves that the ancestor is in trouble, and it won't affect the selection.

Her mind was suddenly shaken, this would be easy to handle!

Lin Yutong's voice was low, and she tentatively said: "Can't you? I think it can!" She stretched out her hands and pulled it apart, "Dad is a Juren. I remember that he mentioned that his hometown was Huang An. His maiden name was Wang, so we

I didn’t have much contact with my maternal grandfather’s family in 2008. The Wang family was in Huangmei! It was inconvenient, which is reasonable. But if you, the eldest brother, Jin Yiwei, was able to get in at that time, it must have been the help of the Wang family! Someone from the Wang family in the capital was in front of you.

As for the official, and the official position is not small. He doesn't have much contact with our family on the surface, but he takes care of us in private, right! But even though this is the case, it still affects my brother's imperial examination..."

Lin Yu's heart pounded. Everything Sanniang said was right! He pondered for a moment, and then sighed again: That's all, I've already guessed this. Sooner or later, I have to ask her to get to the bottom of it. I won't explain it clearly today.

, she was afraid that it would be difficult to give up.

This matter is quite complicated!

Lin Yutong sat up straight, took his time and spoke slowly.

Lin Yu asked Tongtong, "Do you know the village where we live and the monument standing at the back of the village? Two years ago, you broke your head there. Why did you break it? Do you still remember it?"

Remember! Someone was trying to knock down that monument. Brother, you got into a fight with them. I went up to pull it, and I was pushed and hit the monument.

Lin Yu asked, "Do you know whose monument that monument belongs to?"

It was written on the monument! Lin Yutong thought about it and said, "That is the tomb of Mr. Li Zhuowu."

Yes! "Do you know who Li Zhuowu is?"

Wait! This name sounds familiar, I have to think about it.

She went through the characters of the Ming Dynasty in her mind and reminded Lin Yutong of one person. Immediately afterwards, her expression became unusually exciting: "Mr. Li Zhi?"

right!

Lin Yutong really knows this person, he is a great person! A great person who steals cattle!

He was a great master of the Taizhou School. His thoughts were placed on the current Ming Dynasty. He was not just ahead of the curve, nor a step forward, but a step so big that it would definitely break his balls. This man went to school at the age of twelve.

When he was young, he questioned Confucius. He felt that Confucius should not be turned into a saint. He believed that Confucius was also a human being! Therefore, at the age of twelve, he made a lot of nonsense in the school, opposed to using Confucius's words as a standard, and implemented them without changing at all.

At that time, this was a crazy life!

But he was just like a cow. He passed the imperial examination, and then served as a lecturer and minister of Imperial College. During the thirty years of the Wanli Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Yao'an. Anyway, he retired from the second-grade official position.

You know, the first rank in the Ming Dynasty has no real power. After the prime minister was kicked out by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first rank was mostly honorary. The second rank can be regarded as a great one.

This man is an honest man. After he retired, he disliked his family. There were too many trivial matters such as family honors, so he simply didn’t go home. He went to his friends’ houses to hang out there, like the three Yuans of the public security sect in literature, and in literature

You giant, I stayed with him for three to five months. The relationship between foreign missionaries and this old man was quite irresistible. All the major cities invited this man to give lectures.

As for him, he simply shaved off the hair on his head, acted like a monk, and went to give lectures. He was critical of Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism! But now the Ming Dynasty is dominated by Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism!

The criticism of Er Cheng and Zhu Xi was not subtle at all.

This was already very unpleasant, but in the end he still had many more ideas.

He felt that it was wrong to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and criticized the officials in the government as false moralists. He said that the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and full of corrupt officials. He advocated that the country should be enriched and the army should be strengthened, and cultural relics should be separated.

Among his theoretical works, Lin Yutong feels that the most practical point is that he believes that dressing and eating are human physics. There is nothing more important than this.

In addition, this person also firmly believes that people's thoughts cannot be restricted, people must be equal, and marriage must be free. In addition, he advocates respecting women and feels that men and women should be equal. In his words, 'Women

To say that you are short-sighted and unable to learn the Tao is nonsense. He believes that the reason why men and women look different now is because they are determined by the environment and do not provide a good learning environment for others. It is caused by the fact that women are not born with it.

Not as good as men.

He praised Qin Shihuang as the only emperor of the ages, and said that Wu Zetian was a holy queen who could govern by her own initiative and be clear-sighted and good at making judgments.

This is in contrast to the current view, which is extremely to the left.

If these are not enough to explain how powerful this person is, here are two examples. There are two words in the idiom, one is called pushing the blame and the other is called using fire to seek talents. These two idioms are the books written by this person. Allusions in.

After this man stopped serving as an official, he still accepted female disciples when giving lectures. Whether they were girls or women, as long as they were willing to listen, he couldn't help it. But because of this, he was criticized a lot.

In the academic circle, it is very famous, the Taizhou School, and it is at the clan level.

But later, he was criticized! The then Chief Minister Shen Guanyi ordered him to be thrown into prison. The crime was: dare to promote chaos, confuse the world and falsely accuse the people.

This man was very stubborn, saying, "I can't be killed, but my head can be cut off, and my body can't be humiliated." How did he die? The old man was seventy-six years old, and because he was bald, he said he wanted a haircut. But when the barber arrived at the cell , he snatched the barber's razor and smeared his neck. After three days and two nights of convulsions, he died.

Lin Yu was silent for a long time, and then talked about the relationship between his family and Li Zhi, "My ancestor's surname was Lin, and his original name was Lin Zaizhi. When the sixth generation ancestor was a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou, his family was engaged in ocean-going trade. When the third generation ancestor, Just because he violated the current etiquette, he offended others, and was framed for participating in rebellion. In order to avoid trouble, the family changed their surname to Li! The old man had four sons and three daughters, and only one of his seven children survived. He was honest throughout his life, and many of his children died young. "Only the eldest daughter survived..." Lin Yutong remembered that there seemed to be a grandmother alive in Huang An's hometown. Her grandmother's surname was Li and she had no maiden family.

"Yes! My grandmother is the only bloodline of this old man! My grandmother married my grandfather, and our family name happens to be Lin, which is the same as the old man's ancestor. At that time, in order not to prevent my grandfather from participating in the imperial examination, I didn't mention the matter of asking my grandfather to marry me, but he didn't As I said, if you want to adopt a grandson into an old man's lap, you can adopt the old man's surname as Li, or you don't have to change your surname. After all, Li is not your ancestor's surname, but your ancestor's surname is Lin.

After the grandparents got married, the grandmother gave birth to three sons. The eldest uncle and the second uncle stayed under her knees. The father was the third son and was adopted to his father's maternal grandfather's house, that is, the elder's knee. He became a grandson from a grandson. When his father took the imperial examination, The old man is still alive, and he has many students, many of whom are promising. In addition, his old friends are all over the world, so my father's imperial examination has hardly been affected. But when he comes to my place, he has to take the imperial examination. If people know that my great-grandfather Who is this? This is the problem. So, for my brother, he simply gave up the imperial examination and took the martial arts path. You are right, my mother came from a high background. The current minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Wang Keshou, is my mother's biological uncle. , is our great-uncle. He is the old gentleman’s student!”

ah!

Wang Keshou! Lin Yutong knew this person. He was awarded a plaque after his death and was commended as 'the most honest person in the world'. He said that he had been an official for forty years and had been disciplined and self-disciplined. This was the person he was talking about. Later Liaozhai There is a story in it, and the name of the story is "Wang Keshou". It is said that this man lived in three generations, and it was compiled by Pu Songling based on the first honest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Yu sighed and said: "The monument in the village was erected by Mr. Wang for his teacher, our great ancestor in etiquette."

Understand, this is Li Zhi, Lord Li, who is quite criticized in the officialdom. This imperial examination and that are all based on Neo-Confucianism. If Li Zhi's descendants take part in the imperial examination, then the examiner will make you pass.

His student Wang Ke did well in his official career and took good care of his teacher's descendants. He even betrothed his niece to the old man's grandson, a grandson in terms of etiquette. Now this is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he also arranged Lin Yu to be a member of the Jinyi Guard, civil and military.

Due to the special circumstances, this arrangement is very inconspicuous. As long as you pay attention when coming and going, who will pay attention to a little imperial guard.

Lin Yu said, "In the directory of the Ministry of Personnel, in the column of great-grandfather, I did not dare to write Mr. Lao. Instead, I wrote my own great-grandfather. My great-grandfather was a scholar, my grandfather was a scholar, and my father was a judge.

Your brother is a ninth-grade captain, and his family background is innocent. But as long as I am in Jinyiwei, few people ask about my origin. Most of the soldiers in the army are rough men and don't care about it. But you want to be a princess, do you think we

Will no one know about the adoption? Your great-grandfather was Li Zhi, a man who was sentenced to prison! If you are found out, you will be a princess and you will be fine? What will happen if you are convicted of deception?

Have you ever thought about it?"

This is really life-threatening! I thought it was a little fishy and had nothing to do with the overall situation! Who knew it was so big!

But so what?

Lin Yutong held the kang table with both hands, "That's why I want to go to this draft! Shen Guanyi framed his great-grandfather back then. This must be right! The academic debate has reached a fatal level. Is this right? Shen Yiguan is dead now.

Yes, I also want to turn the case over! Academics are academics, and my great-grandfather did nothing wrong when he was an official. He just had differences with them in his academic studies. Is this worthy of death? I don’t admit it!"

No wonder the girls in this family don't have their feet bound or overly restrained when they should be studying. Even when they go out and get scolded, it's because they're afraid of something happening during the draft.

It turns out that the root of all this is here!

This family's thinking is different from other people's from the very beginning, for several generations.

Lin Yu did not speak and was silent again. After a while, he said: "Then do you think King Jian is a good choice?"

Nowadays, the crown prince can be granted the title of crown prince. It was a fight between the emperor and his ministers for fifteen years. The emperor did not win, and the status of the eldest son is unshakable. Knowing this, King Jian still shows up. This is courting death! It is definitely not a smart person.

things to do.

After choosing this person, Lin Yu shook his head, "Stupid!"

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at Lin Yu: "Brother, if you think you are stupid, you may not be really stupid. I think that King Jian shows up from time to time, so the prince's life must be easier."

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, "Do you think Ciqing Palace did it on purpose? Get a second son..." To share the pressure, ask the emperor to cause less trouble for the prince, so that the prince does not have to be so frightened?

Lin Yutong lowered his eyelids, Zhu Changluo didn't have that brain! But if you try to understand it in this way, would you think that all the actions of King Jian were ordered by the prince? In this way, King Jian's life will really be difficult in the future.

?

Not necessarily!
