Who Cares

Emperor Shengyuan wanted to govern the country with Confucianism. Firstly, his thoughts of benevolence were the art of obedience to the people and the people; secondly, his three principles and five permanence theory could make his courtiers loyal to the monarch, avoiding chaos. However, it was compiled and summarized by Xu Guangzhi, but the clan etiquette was statutory above the national law, that is, the rule of the emperor and the minister was standing after the rule of the father and son, and the husband and wife.

The same is the three outlines, the order is slightly changed, and the meaning is quite different. As the emperor said, his policy theory advocates and consolidates patriarchy, not monarchy; what he strengthens is the concept of clan, not the idea of ​​loyalty to the country. In a short period of time, the people's concept of clan has been strengthened, and they will naturally perform well and work diligently. But the days are long, but I only know that there is a family, I don't know that there is a country, I only know how to protect the family with filial piety, and I don't know how to serve the country. If you face family difficulties and national disasters, you can protect your own family and abandon your country.

After all, it doesn't matter to them who is the emperor, life can still be passed. Just as a soldier defected and returned home to serve his parents, Confucius praised him for his filial piety, and instead commended him without discipline.

The former aristocratic families stirred up the situation in the Central Plains, led battles against the princes, and planned riots. As long as the family always existed and the power continued to expand, they didn't care who the throne was.

What is the suffering of the people? What if the common people are in trouble? They only have the word "clan" in their hearts, so how can they lower their high heads to see the common people crawling at their feet? No, maybe they have looked down and looked at it carefully, otherwise, how could they have created the words "ant"?

The Emperor Sheng Yuan, who was once one of the ants, hated the decadent and insensitive family, so how could he allow them to come back from the ashes? He picked up Xu Guangzhi's article and glanced at it for a while, then thrown into the brazier without expression and burned to ashes.

The ministers all cast their eyes down, not daring to look more, lest the fire accidentally burned on themselves.

The era of the aristocratic family has passed, except for the declining and falling apart, I am afraid that it will be difficult to retrieve the glory and glory of the past. Xu Guangzhi is clearly a wise man, but he chooses to attach himself to the family and try to be an official, but he is clever and is mistaken by cleverness. Don’t you see that the emperor’s recent promotion is all the poor students, and the suppression is all the children of the family?

Everyone was in confusion, secretly fearful, but Father Guan and Father Guan were calm, and the old **** was there. Although they are from a family of officials, they are not officials. They have expectations for fame and fortune, but they value personal cultivation and ideas in their hearts. As long as the children in the family read well and study well, there is nothing to worry about.

No, learning is too good, but worrying more! Thinking of this, the two took a peek at the manuscript placed by the emperor, wondering how to respond. Yiyi's elegant name is Lingyun layman, but she abandoned it and took a new "inverse hostel person". It can be seen that they don't want to reveal their identity, so they must cover her for one or two.

The father and son looked at each other and understood.

How could Emperor Shengyuan not find the eyebrow lawsuit between the two Taishan Lords, he secretly laughed, and then he picked up the manuscript and slowly said, "Emperor, how does the handwriting of this person from the hostel compare to you? Although I am clumsy, I can Hearing the sound of cracking silk and golden ming, I noticed the unstoppable trend, and there was a wave of arrogance that leaped on the paper. It is a rare good word in the world, right?"

Father Guan hurriedly lowered his head to cover the smile at the corner of his mouth. Old man Guan praised and praised him, "Where is the emperor's eyes? But he has a unique eye, and he is aware of the autumn! , Not only the skeleton is correct, but also the aura of aura. It is really a masterpiece that Weichen has only seen in his life! Weichen's writing can be compared with others, but he dare not show his ugliness in front of him."

Unexpectedly, the humble and courteous emperor of Su Ri, boasting that his granddaughter had spared no effort, the emperor Sheng Yuan coughed and laughed secretly, remembering the scene of his wife chopping melons with bare hands, and seeing the two Taishans, he felt that the family was all alone. Both are cute and more respectable.

After the old man finished the round of compliments, he stopped drinking tea, and the Emperor Sheng Yuan continued to ask, "I once heard the emperor say that your precious granddaughter is also a master of calligraphy, how does it compare to this person from the hostel?"

The old man Guan's beard trembled, seemingly embarrassed, before he said for a moment, "Going back to the emperor, the two should be in between."

"Oh?" Sheng Yuan Di Lang laughed, "Then I will ask for a masterpiece of the lady someday, and I will also ask the emperor to bring me a message."

The old man's cheeks are flushed, and there is suffering. Guan's father watched his nose and nose, pretending to be an outsider.

After teasing the serious and rigid emperor, Emperor Sheng Yuan was very happy in his heart, shaking the manuscript, and continuing, "After appreciating the calligraphy, let's come to appreciate the text. I guess this person from the Ni Hostel should be a miscellaneous scholar, although she mentioned it everywhere in the line. The law of the country seems to be a legalist; the essence of Confucianism is well understood, and the sentences and allusions quoted are not available for decades of immersion in Confucian scholars, but also seem to be Confucianism; the study of historical classics can be said to be familiar Thoroughly, it summarizes the trajectory of historical development, and like a historian, if you count it down carefully, it is really a rare all-rounder!"

After the awkwardness dissipated, the old man nodded and smiled, as if he was enjoying it. Guan Fu and several ministers occasionally echoed it, but they didn't show any strangeness.

Emperor Sheng Yuan cherished the manuscript and sighed, "I would like to invite this person from the hostel to the palace for an interview. If I can persuade her to become an official, or stay by my side to make plans for me, it is really a blessing in life! "I caught a glimpse of the stiff face of the old man, he smiled and soothed, "Of course, I will never coldly treat the emperor teacher for her. There is a saying in the Central Plains that is,'a teacher for a day and a father for life', and the emperor said to me. His teachings are comparable to that of a monarch.” In fact, his father had never seen him once, let alone nurturing teachings? The emperor and Taichang have done much more for him than the emperor, and he will never forget it in this life.

Old man Guan smiled neither did he cry, but his old face was wrinkled like dried orange peel.

Only then did Emperor Sheng Yuan give up, pretending to wave his hand regretfully, "Unfortunately, I sent many people to investigate, but no clues were found. It can be seen that this person does not have the idea of ​​becoming an official. Then let her be free and idle. Okay. Di Shi, I have one last question. What do you mean by the four characters "Nei Tavern Man"?"

Old man Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and explained, "Nilu means guesthouse and hotel. The words "Zuo Zhuanxi Gong's Second Year":'Today is evil, protect against Nilu.' There are two meanings for the guest house, one is an inn. Master; the second is a family guest. However, she is elegantly called a rebellious traveler, which can be seen in the meaning of giving up others to the former, and humbly calling herself just a small shopkeeper who opens guest houses, just a common people."

Emperor Shengyuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The little shopkeeper in the guesthouse? I don't think it is right. According to my opinion, the word ‘reverse travel’ should be interpreted superficially, which means that he is a traveler who walks in the opposite direction."

The words paused slightly, and the tone was calm and admirable, "I have a motto:'I have the three treasures, hold them and keep them. One is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is that I dare not be the first in the world.' Whenever I think about it, I always sneer. If no one chooses the leader alone, how can I be called emperor? How can the world be peaceful? Go the other way, be kind and courageous; be frugal and broad; give up second and first, then the leader will stand, the commander will come out, and the people will survive Now, the prosperous age can be expected. Therefore, the meaning of'sacrificing one's person' is fully manifested, not to be the host of the guest house, but to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, dare to be the first!"

He fixedly looked at Old Man Guan, and sighed, "The mind and courage of this adversary is really admirable!"

Can the four words "adverse hostel person" be explained like this? Mr. Guan knew his granddaughter very well, thinking that this was just a pseudonym she chose at will, without any special meaning, but he didn't want the emperor to beautify it, and it was amused in his heart to pull out such a universal truth.

But he didn't refute, just silently nodded. The other ministers laughed and praised the emperor's wisdom, eyes and beads, and his learning gradually grew, slowly eliminating his dissatisfaction with Xu Guangzhi and the family, and then left at the opportunity.

----

Guan Suyi lay down for half an hour, dreaming that a little baby was climbing herself and calling her mother, she woke up with tears and couldn't sleep anymore. It was really uncomfortable to stay at Zhao's house. Seeing Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu's heart was even more painful. She hurriedly washed up and went directly to her family's home.

Stepping into the Imperial Master's Mansion and talking to her mother for a while, she finally calmed down and locked herself in the study to practice calligraphy. In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, she was about to untie the lead on her wrist, and she heard the old man's angrily voice outside, "Well, you little fox, carry me behind my back to learn from the philosophers! This is not only What your father taught, and your grandfather and grandmother, right?"

Guan Suyi opened the window and looked at the old man with a smile, "Grandfather, granddaughter has done a good job of learning, are you unhappy?"

"Happy, so happy!" The old man Guan's feigned expression suddenly closed, and he smiled with his beard, "You don't know, the emperor asked me several times if I knew the person from the hostel, I almost couldn't hold it back. Said that was my granddaughter! Thinking about your incognito, for fear that it would be unbearable to harass the laymen, this suppressed it. If you are learning, do learning, and what do you do with me? Do you think that I am also Xu Guangzhi first-class, only recognize Confucianism, and must kill Can you make a hundred schools of thought? That's not a literati, it's a thug!"

Guan Suyi repeatedly promised, and her mood instantly became happy.

Old man Guan continued, "The emperor is really funny. He loves to play around with others after drinking a little bit of writing and ink. How do you understand the four characters'inverse hostel person'? I really want to say the flowers..." Slowly Wei Yang The dialogue in the palace was detailed to the granddaughter, and then walked into the study, looked at the table, but saw Xue Bai Jiaxuan jumped out of a line of strong handwriting like a dragon-to be kind and courageous; to be frugal and broad; to give up. Let's first; dead? No regrets!

"Really let the emperor say it?" He was dumb for a moment, and then looked at his granddaughter in shock.

Guan Suyi's heart was shocked and moved no less than his grandfather. She never expected that the world could truly understand her, and it was the emperor who once made her look down upon her in every possible way. Yes, time goes back, the vicissitudes of life, she can change, how can she know that others can't change?

The emperor was not faint, on the contrary, he was very courageous, knowledgeable, and wise. The last life is gone, so we should abandon the past and look at the present.

The depression between her eyebrows completely dissipated, and she said every word, "If you are lucky enough to see your Majesty, Yiyidang will become a confidant and talk about wine freely."
