Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 484 Meaning
Lian Musu looked at him encouragingly: "Brother Liang, it's okay to say, even I have been helped a lot by Brother Liang, and I hope I can help Brother Liang, otherwise I feel uneasy."

Is that so?
Liang Qi looked at the sincerity and encouragement in Lian Musu's eyes, and he finally mustered up the courage to ask the doubts in his heart: "Why does Brother Lian take the imperial examination?"

Scholars take the road of official career to get ahead, but just to get ahead?Besides getting ahead?
In the past two days, he thought for a long time why he took the imperial examination, besides being a grandfather, what was he doing for it.

Lian Musu was surprised, and could see the confusion in Liang Qi's eyes at a glance.

It's not easy to ask such a question. Brother Liang should be a person with feelings, and he doesn't want to be like other people.

He smiled, his expression changed a little bit of gentleness, with a sense of solemnity, and said very firmly: "For the word 'gong'."

Liang Qi was taken aback, thinking it was because of the re-examination: "Brother Lian, do you think this time is unfair?"

Lian Musu shook his head: "No, the fairness and fairness of the imperial examinations, in terms of knowledge and ability, has always been for oneself. If a certain ability is not enough to pass the exam, there is nothing wrong with not being able to enter the official career for life. This is for the world. As a scholar, Lian has no complaints."

"That's it?" Liang Qi didn't understand.

Lian Musu's eyes were shining brightly, his face was firm, and he said to him: "Lian XX's father is the prosperity of the country, the world is peaceful, the people are fed and clothed, there are clothes to wear, food to eat, everyone has no complaints, I would like to exhaust my whole life to pursue it and strive for justice for the people of the world.”

Liang Qi's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "But now the four seas... the four seas..."

He wants to say that the world is safe now, and the people he sees are well-fed and well-fed...

Under Lian Musu's watchful eye, he was halfway through speaking, his voice gradually lowered, but he couldn't speak.

"Brother Liang wants to say that the world is stable now?" Lian Musu's face was full of solemnity, and before he could answer, he immediately asked, "Where is Brother Liang from?"

"People from Luoyang." Liang Qi suddenly didn't dare to look Lian Musu directly in the eyes, only felt that the light inside made him unable to hide.

"How is Luoyang?"

"Very good."

"Brother Liang, what do you think of this world?"

"The world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

"How is Beijing?"

"There are plenty of cars and horses, and the people are rich."

The two asked and answered, and within a few questions, Lian Musu understood why Liang Qi felt that the world was at peace.

He looked at Liang Qi, and then asked: "Besides Luoyang and the capital, where has Brother Liang been in this life?"

Liang Qi's face became hot: "Liang, when Liang entered Beijing, he passed Handan City, Baoding Mansion..."

"besides?"

Under Lian Musu's gaze, Liang Qi didn't dare to look directly, and shook his head in shame: "Liang has devoted himself to studying for more than [-] years, and he came to Beijing to be admitted to the Imperial College, other than that, he has never been to other places."

When he was in Luoyang, he was stuck at home studying every day, and he rarely even stepped out of the door, and his grandfather didn't allow anyone to disturb his study.

On the way to Beijing, he took a carriage. Apart from staying at post stations and inns, he also studied in the carriage. He seldom saw the scenery outside.

After arriving at the Guozijian, he could no longer bring his servant Shutong, so he learned to wash and fold the quilt by himself, and take care of himself. Even so, he seldom went out.

He carried the expectations of his grandfather on his body, and he never dared to relax for a moment, so the idea of ​​going out to have a look is almost rare.

Seeing this warm-hearted and pure-hearted person in front of him, Lian Musu sighed, and said in a slow tone: "Brother Liang, Lian Mou had to leave his hometown, from south to north, from barren to fertile land, he has seen it all. It's a little more than you."

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked up into the distance: "The current sage, the sage, has appointed people on their merits since he took the throne, worked hard to govern, quelled civil strife, and restored people's livelihood. A few years ago, he quelled the chaos in Kansai and deterred foreign nations. Now there is no war in the world, and the people live in peace." It is flourishing day by day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is stable.”

When the current Holy Majesty was not enthroned, the people were living in dire straits, and he had seen it before. The town where the Lian family lived was relatively rich and the people were relatively stable, but after walking out of that area, it was devastated and could not bear to look at it.

Compared to that time, it is much better now, but it is not enough, far from enough, if it is enough, how can their family be in trouble for no reason, how can they not be reunited with their little sister, how can their grievances have not been cleared up to now , How can the perpetrators get away with it?

"Brother Lian just now..." Liang Qi looked up, the person in front of him had a handsome face, his eyes were like Lang Xing, and there was an emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand, so he stopped asking questions.

Lian Musu turned her head to look at him, put away the leaking emotions in her eyes, smiled at him, and said again: "Brother Liang, if the world is stable, it just means that the people don't have to be displaced, and there is a tile on their heads to shelter them from the wind and rain. Most people have something to eat and don't starve to death, that is indeed stable."

He spoke to Min Huai: "How big is the world, brother Liang, Lian has seen things where there is no place to justify grievances, seen things where children were sold in disaster years to survive, and things where beggars were left on the streets. I have seen people who froze to death in winter with no clothes covering their bodies, and I have seen treacherous people bullying the weak, not everywhere in this world is the capital Luoyang, and there are many injustices in remote places beyond sight."

Liang Qi's eyes widened, realizing something.

Lian Musu patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Liang, there are still many things to do in this world. If Brother Liang doesn't know what the imperial examination is for, then it's for the sake of everyone in the world. Take the exam in Luoyang, the capital."

After speaking, he walked away slowly.

Liang Qi was shocked, and stared blankly at the person who was leaving in front of him. When the person was about to leave his sight, he couldn't help asking loudly: "Is it possible?"

Lian Musu stood still, turned around and said frankly, "It's hard."

Liang Qi was stunned.

Lian Musu then smiled brightly: "But it will get better and better, just like ten years ago, just like now."

Seeing that person leave, Liang Qi was like being enlightened, his thoughts were turbulent and ups and downs, he couldn't calm down for a long time, but his heart fell to the ground, and his whole body was full of strength.

He finally found the meaning of taking the imperial examination, and his life finally had his own real direction and goal.

The man's brilliance illuminated him, allowing him to find the noble meaning of life. He took the imperial examination and stepped into the official career not only for his grandfather, not only for getting ahead, but also for himself, so that he could use his flesh and blood Do more things with your body, so that everyone in the world can have enough food and clothing!

He remembered these words all his life. Whenever he came to a fork in his life, he would think of today's words and his original intention.

And the back of that person, he also followed his whole life...

A shadow in the distance flickered past, almost flashing his waist.

Turning around, Qin Jijiu ushered in a person.
