"Could it be that the master is planning to give up something this time, in order to gain the emperor's peace of mind?"

As soon as Liu Xin raised this question, Huang Zhiting was very concerned, staring at Gao Yushi with piercing eyes.Gao Wushi also noticed her expression, and asked, "Madam, what's your opinion?"

Huang Zhiting looked away, but his tone was obviously a little unhappy, and said: "The master is the head of the family, how to deal with it is naturally the master's decision, how dare the concubine talk about it. It's just... Anyway, everything the master has now They all came in a reasonable and lawful way, if I have to give up for no reason, the concubine will never be able to accept it calmly."

Gao Wushi smiled, nodded again, and asked Liu Xin, "What about you?"

Liu Xin was more open-minded than Huang Zhiting, and smiled, and said: "Based on past examples, I think the emperor should not take the benefits in vain, right? It depends on what the master intends to give up, and What will the emperor do to make up for it?"

When Huang Zhiting heard that the emperor should make some compensation, he finally turned pale, but he was still skeptical, and said: "If you do this, it will be like an exchange, but I don't know what the master intends to give, and what can the emperor get?" Come to make up for it."

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and said: "It's not that the emperor doesn't trust me, it's just that I can't just sit back and watch my strength grow... My other strength growth is fine, but the most important thing is the strength growth in the Gyeonggi area. This is the emperor. It has to be considered and vigilant."

Huang Zhiting slightly raised his eyebrows: "The master is saying that the security team and factory protection team around Gyeonggi should be reduced or partly transferred?"

Gao Wushi shook his head slightly, and Liu Xin also said: "I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense. After all, in the eyes of the emperor, since these people can be transferred now, they can be transferred back when 'needed' is nothing more than an order from the master. What's the point? Even if you really do this, it's a kind of deception."

Huang Zhiting then asked: "If the emperor's peace of mind cannot be reassured by the large transfer of armed servants from the capital, then what should the master give up, please resign and return home?"

Hearing what she said, Gao Wushi couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Madam, don't be angry. If I ask for resignation at this moment, I'm afraid that the emperor will not be happy, but will be furious..." I haven't done anything yet Well, you are so pragmatic that you are going to show me your face?' So, if it really develops to this point, it will really be the source of disaster for the world."

Huang Zhiting snorted softly, and said very bluntly: "If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart; The ministers regard the king as a bandit and an enemy."

In fact, she has always been very different from Gao Pragmatic's point of view on a certain matter, that is, her loyalty to the Ming court is relatively limited, at least far lower than Gao Pragmatism based on national consciousness.However, it is understandable that this situation is highly pragmatic. It involves how people in this era think about who they should be loyal to, or what they should be loyal to.

"Dedicate yourself to death, and then die." This is Zhuge Liang's famous saying, and it is also the life motto that countless loyal ministers and generals have talked about since then.Many people worked hard at all costs for this sentence, until the last moment of their lives, some of them sacrificed silently, and some of them passed down their names through the ages. …

However, many people may not necessarily think carefully about who they are loyal to until they die.Is it the country, or the king?Or something else?
In modern society, the interests of the country are above all else. When conflicting with other interests, people will generally choose to give priority to the interests of the country, especially the new China established on the suffering land of China. This understanding has been engraved into the In people's bones.

However, in ancient times, there has always been a contradiction, that is, should "I" give priority to loyalty to the "country" or to the "king"?When there is a contradiction between the two, how should "I" choose?

To understand this problem, we must first have a relatively correct understanding of the concept of "country" in the eyes of the ancients.

The earliest concept of "country" is different from the later "country".The earliest "country" was much smaller, and what it meant was a vassal state.At that time, the concept of Biguo was "the world".Because the ancients believed that there is no other country except the country owned by the king, so the king's country is all the places "under the sky".

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he eliminated the vassal states and fully implemented the system of prefectures and counties, so only the concept of "the world" remained.Later, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, a "state", that is, a vassal state, was established.But later, because the threat of the vassal state to the center was too great, the vassal state was continuously cut down, making the vassal state weaker and smaller.

Since then, in the 2000-year-long feudal era, there has been no serious term "country", only "world".Some people may argue here, saying that the title of prince in the past dynasties normally refers to a country. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, after the prince was crowned king, he went to his own country. Isn't it also called "the country of Zhi"?But the problem is that this "country" obviously exists only in name, just to maintain the ancient tradition of "the prince has the country".

Although people at this time have realized that Tianxia is not just a part of the Central Plains country, there are many countries of other ethnic groups outside the Central Plains country.However, the real concept of "country" has not yet been formed.

This is because in ancient times, the unified countries of the Central Plains often established a tributary system with their surroundings, so at least in name, these surrounding countries were still included in the jurisdiction of the Central Plains countries, and it was still a kind of "under the heavens, is it the land of the king; The concept of "world" on the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.

This situation did not change until the great powers invaded in the late Qing Dynasty.The great powers at that time all referred to the Qing Dynasty as the "Qing Kingdom".The Daqing originally did not recognize foreign countries, and considered foreigners to be "barbarians" and "foreigners". Country" does not mean "world".

From this, we can actually see the great confidence of the ancient Chinese in their own civilization.Of course, this may be nonsense. After all, the word "China" itself means "the country in the middle", so how can you be confident?

Although the Qing Dynasty admitted that they did not represent "the world", they still had to add the word "family" to "country" to form "country", or "family country".This shows how deep-rooted the concept of "home world" was in the ancients. …

But even so, the "country" mentioned by later generations is still a different concept from the "country" of the ancients. The "country" talked about after the new China usually means that every family is combined to form a country; The royal family and their country, that is, "family world".The change in this concept gradually evolved after the demise of the feudal monarchy.

Because of the above, then discuss the issue of loyalty to the "state" or the "jun" in the Ming Dynasty, that is, to discuss the issue of loyalty to the "family world" or the "emperor himself".In other words, is it a question of loyalty to the entire royal family or to a specific king.

What, you want to discuss "loyalty to the world"?Hmm... There are probably very few such people, and even Liu Xin, who is a time traveler, may not be interested—she may understand the reason, but she may not be willing to do so.Gao Yushi may be the only person who can really say that he is "loyal to the world".

Of course, the "view of the world" in his mind is not exactly the same as this era... Let's not expand on this.

Speaking of the issue of being loyal to the "country" or being loyal to the "jun", in fact, this issue has been contradictory in ancient times.Here are three examples of a different nature:
First, to protect a certain king or to protect a certain family.

One of the most typical examples of this situation is in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Baozong... No, after Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala, Wala believed that the Han people were very loyal to the emperor, so as long as Zhu Qizhen was used to blackmail the Ming Dynasty, The Ming Dynasty will definitely compromise.

But what I didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty supported Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen's younger brother, and respected Zhu Qizhen as the Supreme Emperor, thus breaking Oala's conspiracy.Doing so is typical of being loyal to the entire Zhu Ming royal family, rather than being loyal to a specific emperor.

Similar situations also existed in other dynasties. For example, the reason why Song Gaozong wanted to kill Yue Fei was because Yue Fei was loyal to the entire Zhao Song family, not entirely Zhao Gou himself.This made Zhao Gou very angry, so he wanted to kill the Fengbo Pavilion.

Second, protect this king or protect that king.

If there is a struggle within the royal family, when many people may become kings, it will involve the issue of loyalty to this king or that king.

For example, if Zhu Di wants to take over Zhu Yunqi's power, some people are loyal to Zhu Di, while others are loyal to Zhu Yunqi.Fang Xiaoru was resolutely loyal to Zhu Yunwen, thinking that Zhu Di was usurping the throne.But Zhu Di said, this is our family business, "what's the matter with you" - a nephew who doesn't respect his uncle, I, an uncle who teaches my nephew, this is none of your business as an outsider?
Zhu Di's statement seems to be pure sophistry, but it is not necessarily true, because if considered from the perspective of "family world", Zhu Di's statement is actually not wrong.

There is also clear proof of this: when Zhu Di was in trouble, the attitude of the kings of the world was basically to not interfere as much as possible, but to just wait and see what happened.Why?Because it's "family business".

In the eyes of the kings of the world, and even many officials and common people at that time, this matter did not involve "reign change", that is, it would not lead to changes in the rule of the "Zhu Ming royal family", so they did not need to stand in line, as long as "who I'll help whoever wins" is fine, there is no moral burden at all. …

But having said that, in Fang Xiaoru's case, there is a contradiction between being loyal to the "country" or loyal to the "king".Because of Zhu Yunqi's kindness to him, it can be said that "the king treats me with a scholar of the country", so he must "repay the king with a scholar of the country".Therefore, it can even be said that Fang Xiaoru's loyalty to Zhu Yunqi belongs to personal loyalty, while Zhu Di's statement is on a higher level... although it is not so high.

In the same way, Li Shimin's subordinates supported Li Shimin, encouraged him to kill the prince Li Jiancheng, and then actually overthrew the emperor Li Yuan, which is also a concrete manifestation of this contradiction.

Third, protect the royal family or protect the Han people.

When the royal family fell and withered and could not be protected, the ancients brought up the question of whether to be loyal to the royal family or to the Han people.

For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he believed that he was loyal to the Han people, not because he was loyal to the Zhao Song royal family and opposed the Yuan Dynasty.As the "descendant" of the Zhao Song royal family, Han Lin'er (supposed to be fake), there is no need to focus on protecting it.Only by protecting the country of the Han people from being taken away by other races is the correct choice.

But it must be explained here that this statement was actually not easy to be widely accepted in ancient times.The ancients believed that this is actually a sign of disloyalty.

Of course, in order to solve the so-called tree moving the dead and the living, the ancients also came up with corresponding methods.The method adopted by the ancients was to preach that "the vigor of the past is exhausted".

Now we think that the previous dynasty was "exhausted", so that "family" can no longer rule the world, and a new "family" should rule the world, and everyone should support the new "family".

For example, when the Western Zhou Dynasty began to attack the merchants, and everyone came to support the Western Zhou Dynasty, it meant that the Shang dynasty was exhausted and a new emperor was born.

The above three points are roughly the three main contradictions between being loyal to the "state" or being loyal to the "king".It can be seen from this that if these contradictions intensify, it is generally because of the huge turmoil in "the world", but in most peaceful times, this contradiction does not exist, and the two are unified.

So, is there turmoil in the world today?not yet.If not, why can't Huang Zhiting be loyal to Zhu Yijun?Because her interests and high pragmatism are one, and when Zhu Yijun may harm the interests of high pragmatism now, for her, it is "turmoil in the world".

Huang Zhiting has such an attitude, not to mention Liu Xin, the latter may not accept the idea of ​​family at all, how could she end up in the emperor himself?

The words Huang Zhiting used to express his attitude just now were directly quoted from Mencius.But in fact, the words "the king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart; It happens that scholars all over the world know it, but few people dare to say it—because of Mencius' status in the Ming Dynasty... well, it has changed a lot.

Everyone knows Zhu Yuanzhang's background. Later, he became well-off and started to study.After reading the books of Confucius, he also developed a strong interest in other Confucian sages, and couldn't wait to read the books of Mencius and other representatives of Confucianism in order to obtain help and reference for governing the country. …

But once after reading Mencius's book, Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly furious, and immediately decreed that Mencius' tablet should be removed from the Confucian Temple, saying that Mencius was not qualified to enjoy the Confucian Temple.

The reason is very simple, that is, he couldn't bear it after seeing Mencius' view of "not being inferior to the emperor". "History of the Ming Dynasty" records that when Zhu Yuanzhang read "Mencius", he saw the sentence "The king treats his ministers like dirt, and the ministers treat the emperor like a bandit and enemy", and said angrily: "It is not suitable for ministers."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still angry, said: "I would rather avoid this old man today!" It means: If this guy lives in the present, can he escape punishment?
Mencius's thought is "the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand it at all, because he himself was a farmer before, and he came to the throne with great difficulty. He cherished this position more than any previous emperor. .

Who ever thought that after finally becoming an emperor, he found that he was not as good as the common people in the world in the mouth of Mencius.Mencius lowered the status of the monarch so low and raised the common people so high, which instantly made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely angry.

However, the follow-up of this incident is also very interesting. It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to pass on the will of the Mencius tablet out of the Confucian Temple, the ministers who were deeply influenced by Confucianism found it both funny and angry, so they quietly took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang’s shortcoming of believing in the destiny , On a certain night, Zhu Yuanzhang was told that the Wenqu star in the sky was dim, without precedent, and it might be a bad omen—that is, a catastrophe was about to happen in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the ability to observe the sky at night, so after hearing this, he immediately thought: Could it be because he took the tablet of Mencius out of the Confucian Temple?Thinking about it, I felt that I might have gone too far, so in order to avoid the "big omen", I hurriedly ordered to invite Mencius' tablet into the Confucius Temple again.

However, this matter is not over yet.After 20 years, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered the grudge, and suddenly announced that he would ban the book "Mencius" and change the four books into three books-but obviously, this matter was not done because of the fierce opposition of the officials. .

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. You all say that books can’t be banned, so it’s okay to cut and delete for him, right?

For this reason, he personally went into battle, deleted 85 articles from "Mencius", and produced a "Mencius Jiewen", and the four books changed from "Great Learning", "Analects", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean" to "University", "The Analects", "Mencius Jiewen", "The Doctrine of the Mean".

With Lao Zhu’s dedication and special care, the deleted chapters of Mencius mainly fall into seven categories:
First, it is not allowed to say bad things about the ruler and his bureaucrats - "There are fat meat in the kitchen, fat horses in the stables, hungry people in the people, and hungry scorpions in the wild. This leads beasts to eat people. Beasts eat each other, and people hate them." .Being the parents of the people, administration cannot avoid leading beasts to eat people.” [King Hui of Liang [-]]
Second, it is not allowed to say that the ruler is responsible for shifting the atmosphere - "There is no benevolence in the king, and there is no injustice in the king. Once the king is upright, the country will be settled." [Li Louxia]
Third, it is not allowed to say that the ruler should practice benevolent government—"If you gain a land of hundreds of miles and rule it, you can rule the world with the princes. Doing an unjust thing or killing an innocent person to gain the world is nothing." [ Enter Gongsun Chou]
Fourth, you are not allowed to say anything against conscription, taxation and waging war—"There are levy of cloth, corn, and hard labor. The gentleman uses the first, and delays the second. Use the second and the people have death, and use the third. And the father and son are separated.", "In ancient times it was a pass, and it will be used to guard against violence. Today it is a pass, and it will be regarded as violence." [Work hard]...

"When you fight for land, you kill people; when you fight for a city, you kill people. This so-called cannibalism of the land is a crime that cannot be dissolved in death." [Li Loushang]
Fifth, it is not allowed to say that the people can rebel against the tyrant and retaliate against the tyrant—"Those who are thieves of benevolence are called thieves; Also." [Exit King Hui of Liang]
"A ruler treats his ministers like siblings; a ruler treats his ministers like his heart; a ruler treats his ministers like dogs and horses, and his ministers treat him like a countryman; a ruler treats his ministers like dirt, and his ministers treat him like a bandit." [Li Louxia]
Sixth, it is not allowed to say that the people should have enough food and clothing-"It is for this reason that the Ming emperor controls the people's property, and must make them look up enough to serve their parents and bow down to their wives. They will be full for life in happy years, and avoid death in bad years. Then drive them to be good, so People's obedience is also light. Today, people's property is also controlled. If you look up to your parents, you can't look down on your wives. Happy years are hard for life, and unlucky years are inevitable. Death is inevitable. This is only to save the dead, but not to support them. ?” [King Hui of Liang enters]
Seventh, it is not allowed to say that the people should have status and rights-"the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least" [under the chapter of Jinxin], such words must be banned.

But what is ridiculous is that the vitality of this "Mencius Jiewen" probably only lasted until Zhu Yuanzhang's death.After his death, the full text of "Mencius" was recovered almost immediately, and Zhu Yuanzhang was completely defeated in the battle with "Mencius".

However, although he has never fought against the book "Mencius", it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang achieved great success in the battle with Mencius's thought, and established the ruling thought of China for hundreds of years, forming a different style from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. , The Ming and Qing systems of the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties—that is, the confinement of thought and extreme imperial power that are often mentioned in later history books.

However, as for the problems of "imprisonment of thought and extreme imperial power", these issues have been evaluated in the previous article of this book, and they can be described in eight words: the more oppressive, the more resistant.

As for the last thing, anyway, in terms of "imprisoning thoughts", in history, Xinxue almost killed Neo Confucianism.

As for the "extreme imperial power"... Enough has been said about "the struggle for the foundation of the country". If you want to engage in extreme imperial power, will I, as a courtier, definitely cooperate?
However, the most ruthless outbreak in the original history was actually the Chongzhen Dynasty.Just look at the words Chongzhen said before his death to know how intense the conflict is: "17 years since I ascended to the throne, the rebels have been going straight to the capital. , but it is all the mistakes of the ministers!"

So, looking back, was Mencius' thought really eliminated by Zhu Ming's royal family in the land of China?No.Huang Zhiting's words at this time also show that when the corresponding moment comes, the teachings of Mencius will emerge from the minds of anyone who has read the book.

When she said this, Gao Wushi could only remain silent.In fact, the key point that Huang Zhiting really emphasizes in these words lies in the last sentence: "The king treats his ministers like dirt, but the ministers regard the emperor like a bandit."

Kou Qiu, then we should fight.

In fact, Gao Wushi has known for a long time that not only Huang Zhiting, but also voices in Jinghua have long believed that he "is not as good as a king in southern Xinjiang than a minister of Ming Dynasty."It's just that those who say these words are often from high-level servants, or are recruited later. The relatives of the Gao family never say such things. …

Gao Wushi also knew the reason for this situation: no matter how high the status of servants was in southern Xinjiang, and how much power they had in southern Xinjiang, as long as they returned to Daming, they would still be just servants .The psychological changes brought about by the huge identity gap and status gap are undoubtedly huge, so they certainly hope to be highly pragmatic and "southern Xinjiang is the king".

Master, if the "King of Southern Border" goes, then they will naturally no longer be servants, but the most trusted subjects of the "King of Southern Border", and they may even be "Ministers of the Dragon", and their status will be improved immediately .Just ask, how big is such a temptation for these high-level servants?
It’s easy to understand why the Gao family didn’t express their views on this: the Gao family is a family of officials and eunuchs after all, and it’s hard to just abandon the concept of "eating the king’s salary and being loyal to the king", after all, a noble family always has face Well.

Besides, the Gao family, as a sect of practical learning and Zhongzhou Yifan, has descended from Gaogong, and it can be said that its disciples and old officials are all over the world. Once the Gao family suddenly becomes a "rebel", wouldn't such a huge network of contacts be wiped out?It's not worth it either!
The most realistic thing is that, as the de facto head of the family, Gao Wushi has a long history and great influence, and even made Jinghua's business spread all over the world.So, if they fall out with the court, will all these be lost at once?

The thinking of the "ancient people" in China is not individualistic thinking, and they often talk about the clan first, so the loss of Gao Pragmatic is by no means his own loss, and it will also be regarded by the Gao family as the loss of the entire Gao family, so they It is necessary to consider whether such a loss is worthwhile.

Apparently, they now think that "it is better to be the king in southern Xinjiang than Da Ming as a minister" because that would require giving up too many interests of the Gao family in Daming.At the same time, they think that the current situation is actually very good. The interests of the Ming Dynasty can be preserved, and the interests of southern Xinjiang cannot be violated. What a best of both worlds!
Of course, it is not the best situation yet.What is the best case scenario?The "Southern Border Protectorate" proposed by the emperor at the beginning is the best situation that the Gao family relatives think.

If the Nanjiang Protectorate is really established, the Gao family will definitely be able to obtain the special status of "Yongzhen Nanjiang" in fact.Unlike the Mu family in "Yongzhen Yunnan", Gao Yushi is not a military officer, he is a civil servant!This means that the descendants of the Gao family can not only "stay in southern Xinjiang forever", but also enter the court as officials, and continue to maintain the current situation of taking both ends. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds, and everyone will be happy?
As for whether the Gao family is happy or whether the Tian family is happy or not, this is obviously not what the Gao family members are willing to consider—even if they want to consider it, it must be considered by the Patriarch Gao Yushi.

However, Huang Zhiting's identity determines that when she considers issues, she will neither be the same as the servants nor the family members. Her perspective is the most special.

On the one hand, she is Gao Yuan's pragmatic wife, and all interests are firmly bound to her husband; on the other hand, she is Gao Yuan's mother, and all expectations will eventually fall on Gao Yuan.

Gao Wushi is willing to serve as a minister in Daming while actually controlling southern Xinjiang. Huang Zhiting already knew this, but would Gao Yuan think the same?In fact, Huang Zhiting didn't know either.After all, Gao Yuan is only 13 years old, not to mention whether he has made a decision now, even if he has, his current thinking may not be static. …

However, judging from Huang Zhiting's observations, especially this time Gao Yuan is willing to go south to establish his prestige, Huang Zhiting thinks that Gao Yuan is more concerned about southern Xinjiang. This opportunity to prove myself.

Huang Zhiting thinks it's understandable for her son to think this way, and she even thinks it's understandable if Yuan'er doesn't want to take the gongju exam - sons often regard their father as a role model in childhood, and set surpassing their father as their goal in life , but the problem lies here: Gao Yushi, as the number one scholar in the six poems, has been unable to surpass him on the road of imperial examination.

That being the case, if Gao Yuan chooses to complete the feat of "surpassing his father" in southern Xinjiang, Huang Zhiting certainly thinks it is understandable.It's like your father's full score in the college entrance examination. It is impossible for you to expect to surpass your father's score in the college entrance examination. If you want to surpass your father, you will naturally have to worry about other aspects.

As a result, Huang Zhiting's focus naturally shifted to southern Xinjiang, and there was even a faint voice urging her from time to time: to use southern Xinjiang as a foundation to help Yuan'er conquer the Central Plains in the future, unify the world, and establish a truly The super empire of "far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties"!

Gao Wushi was vaguely aware of this, but because Huang Zhiting had never expressed it, he didn't know how to persuade him.If Huang Zhiting really said it straight, it's not that Gao Wushi can't find a reason to convince her, the reason can be found.

For example, from the perspective of "the world", high pragmatism can say that "virtue is good government, and government is to support the people", especially as a Confucian official, if he takes the initiative to start a civil war, it will inevitably lead to disasters and bring disaster to countless people. It's not what he wants.

But the trouble is that Huang Zhiting never expresses this attitude clearly, but whenever she has a chance, she will show her dissatisfaction with the emperor and the court, especially when the emperor or other courtiers doubt Gao Yushi.

This made Gao Wushi very embarrassed. If she tried to persuade her, she didn't encourage her to rebel;

For a while, Gao Wushi only felt that his brain was swollen, and he always felt that the skill of "mediating conflicts between parties", which he was best at in the past, was not good enough. It seemed that the conflicts here could not be mediated or resolved at all.

"What is more difficult than touching the soul is touching the interests."

Gao Yushi put his hand on his forehead, and these words kept buzzing in his mind.

"Master tired?" Liu Xin said suddenly: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that among the New Year gifts sent to Master by the Portuguese in Dragon Tooth City a few days ago, some statues were quite interesting... Among them There is a statue of Victoria, the goddess of victory, which is said to be given to the master as a commemoration of the victory over Japan, do you want to see the master and wife?"

Gao Wushi was feeling tired and didn't want to continue thinking, so he said, "Okay, let's take a look." Then he turned his head to look at Huang Zhiting.

Huang Zhiting shook his head, and said: "Those statues of red barbarians are shameless, especially those statues of goddesses, I can't appreciate them. Master and sister Xin go on their own, I won't join in the fun. "

ps: Teaching children to write essays last night almost pissed me off.Listening to his recitation of poems today, "Early Sending to Baidi City", he said to me, "The bells on both sides of the strait can't stop ringing, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains." I asked, "Is the bell ringing after class?"
