I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 26 It's okay not to be such an official!
Guo Yi nodded silently upon hearing this.

To be honest, he did have a feeling of love at first sight.

But some people say that the so-called love at first sight is just love at first sight.

To put it bluntly, this society has always looked at faces since ancient times.

While the fox fur was swaying, Lu Zixi walked into the chaimen.

At this moment, the originally quiet scene suddenly boiled up: "Hello Miss Lu!"

"Hi, talented girl Lu!"

"Miss Lu, bow!"

Seeing this, Lu Zixi stopped in his tracks, a smile appeared on his pretty face, he pulled back his skirt, bent his body slightly, and bowed squarely to everyone.

"Zixi, here!"

A woman who came earlier stood up and waved to her.

Just as Lu Zixi walked over to sit down in a grand manner, another bullock cart stopped outside.

"It's Mr. Wangshan's bullock cart!"

"Mr. Wangshan is here!"

Everyone got up and left the table to greet him.

The two gray-haired old men got out of the bullock cart with the help of the servant boy.

Yang Huifan came over again, and introduced in a low voice: "The old man on the left wearing a blue Taoist robe and a Taoist bun is Mr. Wangshan. The old man on the right wearing a bearskin cloak with disheveled hair is Qingzhi. gentlemen."

"Meet Mr. Wangshan!"

"Meet Mr. Qingzhi!"

A group of literati students stood upright and bowed to salute.

"Haha!" Xue Qingzhi stretched out his hand to stroke his gray beard, and laughed, "The old man was invited by Mr. Wang Shan to participate in this literary meeting and discuss knowledge with you. I am a little terrified! I am terrified! Ah, Ha ha!"

Hearing that he was so self-effacing, everyone was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved their hands and said: "Sir, you are really too humble!"

"The students came this time to listen to the teachings of Mr. Wangshan and Mr. Qingzhi."

"Mr. Qingzhi, students have many questions, I hope you can answer them."

When Yu Wangshan saw such a scene, he also laughed, and said with some self-deprecation: "It seems that brother Qing is indeed more popular than old man!"

"Where is it! Brother Wangshan is too famous!"

Lu Zixi strode over and called out sweetly, teacher.Then he stepped forward to support Xue Qingzhi's arm and walked inside.

"Miss Lu is Mr. Qingzhi's registered disciple!" Yang Huifan's tone and expression were full of envy.

"She is a gentle girl, she is indeed more likable than a picky guy like you." Guo Yi choked him mercilessly.

"Eh..." Yang Huifan was speechless.

Soon, the text will begin.

"Dare to ask Mr. Qingzhi, a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. What is the explanation?"

Xue Qingzhi put down his teacup, and explained unhurriedly: "The one who takes righteousness is a gentleman, and the one who takes profit is a villain. This is a misunderstanding."

"Metaphor means to know, to understand. Yu Yuyi, which means that the pros and cons are clear, and if it does not violate the morality, it will be taken, otherwise, it will not be taken. The one who takes the right way is a gentleman. He only has benefits in his eyes, and he forgets righteousness when he sees benefits. Then it's a villain."

The student who asked the question just sat down, and another student stood up immediately: "Dare to ask the two gentlemen, a gentleman is mean, a villain is against the mean, a gentleman is mean, a gentleman is moderate; a villain is mean, and a villain is not. Fear too. What is the solution?"

"Good question! A gentleman is mean, and a villain is against it. The reason why a gentleman is moderate is because a gentleman is always moderate, and there is nothing wrong with it; .”

The two great Confucians sat in the farewell pavilion, one on the left and the other on the right, and answered the questions of many literati and students one by one.

The issues are very broad, and "The Analects of Confucius", "University", "Doctrine of the Mean", "Book of Changes", "Historical Records" and so on are all involved.

The two great Confucians quoted scriptures and classics, and their speeches were brilliant and penetrating.

Many literati and students listened fascinatedly below.

Until, Lu Fangzhi stood up, made a bow and asked: "Dare to ask the two gentlemen, the pro-virtuous ministers and far-off villains, why the Han Dynasty prospered this time; What is the solution to this?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

These two famous sayings come from Mr. Kong Ming's teaching model, and they are famous articles in the world.But it can be understood only from the literal meaning: being close to villains and alienating virtuous officials is the reason for the prosperity of the early Han Dynasty; being close to villains and alienating virtuous officials is the reason for the decadence of the later Han Dynasty.

Although this Lu Fangzhi is a bit aloof, his talent is well-known far and wide.

When I participated in the solution test last year, Jiangling Mansion ranked in the top ten.It's just that when I went to the capital to take the provincial exam, I didn't perform well and failed because of acclimatization.

With his talent and knowledge, it is impossible not to know the meaning of these two sentences.

Therefore, when he uttered his question, not only the many literati and scholars below, but even the two great Confucian scholars in the pavilion were taken aback for a moment.

But he was very patient in answering his questions.

However, in the next moment, it seemed like nothing would happen.

After Lu Fangzhi clasped his hands again, he straightened his body and continued to ask: "Since this is the explanation, then Fangzhi dare to ask the two gentlemen again, since the uprising in Daze Township, Xinzhou, it has been more than three months.

And just recently, even Xinzhou City was occupied by rebels.In more than three months, seven counties in two states have been occupied.

But Xu Xianggong has always advocated surrender, surrender!As a result, the more the rebels were recruited, the greater the power of the rebels.Now, when sending a large army to suppress, there are no soldiers to send.Surrender can not be recruited.

And those grain merchants are still collecting grain everywhere in an attempt to hoard goods, causing the people to live in dire straits, and tens of millions of people in Liming died of hunger and cold.

Dare I ask the two gentlemen, is this Mr. Xu a good minister or a villain? "

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Good guy, you dare to discuss the current prime minister in front of so many literati and scholars, as well as two great Confucian scholars.

Still such a sharp language.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty advocated freedom of speech, there was no literary prison, and they would not be convicted for their words.

But you say so blatantly that the current prime minister is a villain, is that really okay?

At this moment, Lu Fangzhi became the focus of all eyes.

A student stood up, pointed at him, and shouted loudly: "Arrogant! Xu Xianggong, you can also comment?"

Another student also stood up, "Lu Fangzhi, in this world, are you the only one who is virtuous?"

"Brother Fang, it's not Xu Xianggong's fault, it's because the government order was unreasonable." This time, it was Chen Gangshi who stood up.

Lu Fangzhi's face was full of sarcasm, and he said coldly: "Hehe! The government order is unreasonable? It has been more than three months since the Daze Township Uprising in September. It has been unreachable in January, and unreachable in February. It has been three months. Still not accessible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another student stood up and scolded: "Lu Fangzhi, this is the Wenhui!"

"Cultural meeting? Well, tell me, what is the purpose of holding a literary meeting?"

"Naturally, learning!"

"Study? Well, tell me again, what is the purpose of learning?"

The student responded without thinking: "Of course it is an imperial examination to become an official, in order to share the worries of the Holy One and serve the court!"

"Haha!" Lu Fangzhi laughed loudly, his face full of sarcasm: "What an imperial examination official to share the worries of the Holy One! Just like Xu Xianggong, it has been three months, and the decree is still not clear?

As the saying goes, eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king.Just like Xu Xianggong, watching the people being displaced, the people are in dire straits.Watching those grain merchants collecting grain everywhere, hoarding the goods.

What kind of food is he for the king's salary, to share the worries for the king?How can he look like a scholar?
It's just a moth of a country!

Such an official, do not do worth mentioning! "

After finishing speaking, he left the table angrily and walked away.
