Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Soon, Jia Lian left Feng's residence with a heavy heart.

It's a pity that this appearance is in Feng Yibo's opinion.

I just feel that his worry is more about whether he can do the job of the Dragon Scale Guard well.

As for the Shandong matter, I have mentioned everything I should mention.

The final result depends on his own consciousness.

After seeing off Jia Lian, Feng Yibo arrived at Li Shouzhong's courtyard.

He first visited Li Mengshi, and talked with her, Mrs. You and others for a while.

After some consolation, he was called to the study by Li Shouzhong.

Li Shouzhong felt a little complicated about his apprentice risking his life to find him.

At this time, the master and apprentice rarely had the opportunity to get along alone.

He, who has always been serious in speech and manner, no longer hides it, and directly has a hint of admonishment:

"Yibo, I understand your filial piety and your loyalty, but I still have to say something as a teacher."

Having said this, Li Shouzhong paused, and his face became more serious.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo hurriedly waited for plastic surgery, and said respectfully:
"Please teach me, teacher!"

Seeing Feng Yibo's pleading to listen respectfully, Li Shouzhong nodded and continued:

"If you encounter a similar situation again, you must not risk your life again!"

In this case, he did not know how many times he said it on the road.

But at this time Feng Yibo heard the words, still respectfully said:
"Yes, teacher! The disciple knows."

But even so, Li Shouzhong was still worried.

"You do not know."

Shaking his head, he got up and walked around the table.

Walking all the way to Feng Yibo, looking straight at him for a long while, he urged again:

"You have to remember that you are different from others. Now that the Feng family has just seen improvement, everyone in the Feng family depends on you. Besides, the Feng family is not prosperous. If you have good or bad things, the Feng family will never be seen again!"

Feng Yibo hurriedly bowed his head again, and said:
"Yes! Teacher, don't worry! Disciple remember! I won't resolutely risk my life again in the future!"

Seeing his respectful attitude, Li Shouzhong nodded, but he still couldn't help saying:

"You have to know that even when one of the two men is drawn, the only child will not be conscripted, so neither me nor... anyone else is worth your life."

On the way back, some words were inconvenient to say after all.

At this time, only the two master and apprentice can speak clearly.

Who else but the emperor and the queen mother?

Li Shouzhong's words were really heartfelt.

Generally speaking, drawing one out of five is the norm for conscription.

Only when the country is in turmoil and war, it is possible to implement "two dice draw one".

But even in that case, enlisting the only son must be avoided.

That is the rule that most dynasties follow even when they are in desperate situation:

Two Dings draw one, the only son is not eligible.

Because once the only son is killed, a family has no future

Such regulations are to leave the pillars of breadwinners for each family.

It is also the hope of leaving inheritance for each family.

In the Feng residence, apart from Feng Yibo, the head of the family, there is only one daughter, Feng Xie.

According to the values ​​of this era, Feng Yibo still shoulders the responsibility of passing on the family heir.

This is the foundation of Confucianism:
filial piety!
It has to be said that Li Shouzhong is a decent man, but he is not foolishly loyal to the emperor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent more than ten years in Jinling.

In other words, he was loyal to the emperor and also to the country.

But he is more loyal to the Confucian values ​​based on etiquette and law that he has been immersed in for a lifetime.

The core of Confucian values ​​is the word "benevolence".

And "The Analects of Confucius Xueer" says:
"The filial brother is also the foundation of benevolence."

In "Four Books Chapters Collection Notes", Cheng Zi also said:
"Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, and the foundation of righteousness, propriety and wisdom are all here."

In other words, "benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom" must be ranked after "filial piety" in Confucian values.

"Filial piety" is the foundation of Confucianism, without "filial piety", there can be no "benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom".

Whether it is the emperor or the mentor, they all have to be ranked behind "filial piety".

"The teacher's words, the disciples must remember!"

Hearing that Li Shouzhong even said such words, Feng Yibo nodded repeatedly.

Then he changed the subject again, and said with a straight face:
"But if this happens again, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty don't have to save her, but my mentor can't give up."

Yuan Chun and the emperor had to save them, but they didn't have to say it.

Feng Yibo understood Li Shouzhong's painstaking efforts, but he also wanted to express his attitude.

Having said that, he also looked directly at Li Shouzhong, and said seriously:
"You said so much, the whole article is filial piety, but you have forgotten that it is also filial piety for a disciple to treat his teacher like a father!"

Li Shouzhong may feel at ease if he puts these words beforehand.

Feng Yibo, a closed disciple, took care of him for the elderly, and he sheltered his disciples from wind and rain.

It is only natural that they depend on each other.

But now that Feng Yibo has achieved this level, how can he not be moved?

When the war was chaotic, he chose to go retrograde, and in order to find him, he was trapped in the enemy's camp.

Even if it is a real son, how many can do it?
Li Wan, who has been an only daughter all her life, sees admiration in Feng Yibo.

For a moment, Li Shou's center was full of emotions, and they came one after another.

"Yibo, you..."

When he opened his mouth, he almost choked up.

Li Shouzhong quickly swallowed his saliva, took the opportunity to squeeze his red eyes, and then continued:

"My teacher knows that your filial piety is commendable, but this is not advisable!"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly.

After all, I still couldn't hold back, and shed two old tears?

He hurriedly turned his head to cut off the teardrops, and said emotionally:

"I'm already old as a teacher, but you are still young. Even if I have a good or bad thing, if you take good care of your teacher's wife, that is the best explanation for me!"

Married daughters, spilled water.

Besides, if Li Wan married into a family like Jia's, he had nothing to worry about.

Only Li Mengshi stayed with him for the rest of his life, and now he was most reluctant to let go of this wife.

This disciple's filial piety has long been seen by all, and it has even gone through the test of war.

Even if he is dead now, he can feel at ease under Jiuquan.

But if it's because of his old bones, Feng Yibo will be picked up.

That was too much for him to bear.

"If the teacher's wife is in danger, so is the disciple, and the mentor doesn't have to worry about it."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo shook his head with a wry smile,

He rarely refuted Li Shouzhong, but this time he denied him one after another, and said firmly:

"The two elders are in my heart, just like my parents. If I am in danger, I will never stand idly by!"

He said it from the bottom of his heart, and he did it.

Feng Yibo's parents left early, fortunately they entered Li Shouzhong's gate.

This mentor not only taught him knowledge, but also betrothed him.

Otherwise, how can there be a good thing to do both?

Teach him knowledge, or teach him to be a man.

This is what the teacher should do.

But betroth him and worry about his lifelong affairs.

This is actually treating them like nephews.

Besides, the Li family is also a big family, and it's not like they can't afford a house in the capital.

The old couple were willing to let Feng Yibo retire, and they also treated him like a son.

This is the tacit understanding between the two sides.

One is a teacher like a father, and the other is a parent.

Hearing this, Li Shouzhong felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He even regretted that Li Wan married early, otherwise how good it would be to wait a few years to marry Feng Yibo?
His old tears could hardly be held back, he turned around and blinked, and wiped away hastily.

After he returned to the desk, he didn't dare to continue discussing this topic, so he said casually:
"Cisuke, you and the Queen Mother talked about it, right?"

The topic turned a little bluntly, Feng Yibo couldn't help being amused.

But he still nodded and replied:

"I did mention it, but I didn't expect her to do it."

Li Shouzhong looked as expected, nodded and said:

"It can be seen that the Queen Mother trusts you very much."

Not just this.

A series of events that happened in the hall today can show Yuan Chun's favor for Feng Yibo.

But he didn't think much about it, he just changed the subject casually.

"After all, I've saved her twice."

Feng Yibo felt a little guilty, and explained:
"She has experienced the betrayal and assassination of Nishou this time, and she was quite frightened, so it is only natural for her to be more grateful to my savior."

Li Shouzhong could guess these things without him saying them.

Therefore, Li Shouzhong only nodded when he heard the words, and didn't worry about it any more.

The master and apprentice were speechless for a moment.

After a while, Li Shouzhong suddenly asked:
"Yibo, there are quite a few people in the court who set themselves up as role models."

Speaking of this, he looked at Feng Yibo curiously, and said:
"I don't seem to have heard you mention it yourself."

Speaking of which, Dawei really has this style.

Emperor Jingshun wanted to learn from Li Shimin, and many people in the court regarded themselves as 24 heroes in private.

For example, Wang Ziteng said that he is Li Jing.

Only Li Shouzhong wanted to imitate Fan Zhongyan, and Prince Zhongshun said he was Zhao Guangyi...

As for Feng Yibo, he was not absent.

And these two people belong to the same dynasty.

That is Mr. Jiaxuan, Xin Qiji.

But Li Shouzhong knew that it was taken by Jiangnan scholars for him.

Feng Yibo has never regarded himself as such.

That's why he asked this question today.

What he asked was not who Feng Yibo looked to outsiders.

Instead, he was asking Feng Yibo who he wanted to be.

When Feng Yibo invited him out of the mountain, he even used Fan Zhongyan to awaken his original intention.

Now after such a thing, the relationship between master and apprentice has become closer invisibly.

Li Shouzhong also wanted to know Feng Yibo's current ambitions through this method.

It's a pity that Feng Yibo never seriously thought about this issue, and was a little silent for a while after hearing the words.

Which ancient person do you want to interview?
Mr. Jiaxuan's family and country are righteous, and he thinks he is not worthy of touching porcelain.

So who does he want to be?
Lu Buwei, the first emperor's second father?
Except for not becoming a prime minister, it seems to have reached more than half.

But this is not a good thing to say!

It can't be said that not only is he having an affair with the queen mother, but the emperor may also be his son, right?
Even if they are facing Li Shouzhong, an absolutely trustworthy mentor.

He can't say that he is Lu Buwei!

That Cao Mengde who took the emperor to command the princes?

It's not impossible to try in the future, but it's not very suitable for telling people.

However, it is not impossible to say.

Feng Yibo pondered for a moment, then said:

"Master didn't mention it, I really haven't thought about it. Now that I talk about it, I only think of four words in a hurry."

Li Shouzhong looked at his apprentice curiously, thinking of the four-character ancients in his mind.

Four characters, whose number is it?

For example, Mr. Jiaxuan?
Feng Yibo didn't give a damn, so he said with a smile:
"Jian'an character."

After all, the "Three Caos" are all representatives of Jian'an character, so the "Cao thief's ambition" can also be roughly equal to Jian'an character, right?
Such a vague response obviously couldn't satisfy Li Shouzhong's appetite.

Hearing this, he became even more curious and asked:

"San Cao or Seven Sons?"

The main figures involved in Jian'an's strength of character are the Cao family father and son and the seven sons of Jian'an.

Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment, then said ambiguously:

"Meng Degong is majestic and desolate, Cao Ziheng is graceful and graceful, and Cao Zijian is full of literary grace and strength."

What he was talking about was his evaluation of the Cao family and his son, so it was naturally the "Three Caos".

As soon as this evaluation came out, Li Shouzhong acquiesced that Cao Zijian, who had the most words, was Feng Yibo's idol.

Cao Zijian, that is, Cao Zhi, the author of "Luo Shen Fu".

The allusion of "talented and talented" is what Xie Lingyun praised him.

Zhong Rong also praised him in his poetry review monograph "Poetry":
"Extraordinarily high-spirited, brilliant and luxuriant Ci, with both emotion and elegance, body and style, and the charm of the past and the present, it is outstanding."

There are also many people who mention Cao Zhi, Li Bai, and Su Shi together, which shows their status in the literary world.

"His talents are outstanding, so he can feel at ease as a teacher."

Li Shouzhong knew that Feng Yibo was also talented in writing.

If Feng Yibo wants to be a literary master of a generation, he has a lot to do.

Moreover, the apprentice has such ambitions in culture, which also makes him, the teacher, very relieved.

However, what he didn't rest on was that Feng Yibo only used honorific titles for Cao Cao.

In fact, there is another sentence in his mind:
I only envy the magnificent and desolate Meng Degong.

But Li Shouzhong didn't continue to ask, Feng Yibo naturally wouldn't continue.

Even if you keep asking, you won't say that you have the ambition of Cao Cao.

at most say...

I like "Three Caos".

Feng Yibo didn't want to go deeper into this matter, so he changed the subject and said:

"Master, there is something I want to tell you."

Li Shouzhong was thinking about what he could do to help Feng Yibo in the literary world.

Hearing the words, he let out a light "Oh?" absent-mindedly.

"Now in the cabinet, you are the second assistant, the queen mother also trusts me very much, and Jia Hua is half of me."

As soon as the cabinet was mentioned, Li Shouzhong was immediately attracted by this topic.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo said directly:

"So, I may have to do something, and I will need your help then."

Li Shou faintly moved in the center, but asked calmly:

"what's up?"

Feng Yibo saved him out of filial piety, but when it comes to the court, he has to be more cautious.

This is due to his character.

Unless it's a matter of life and death like Prince Zhongshun's death this time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't easily interfere with what Feng Yibo did.

One is to avoid suspicion.

The second is that I don't want the apprentice to rely too much on him, thus reducing the process of hard work.

The idea, as he said before:

"If you don't match virtue, you will be blamed instead."

What you want to achieve is best through your own efforts.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo spit out two words lightly:

"reform."

"Oh?"

It was an absent-minded light "oh" just now, and this time it was also a heavy "oh" with surprise.

Li Shouzhong frowned when he heard the word "reform".

He also has the intention of reform, but he is cautious about this matter.

Without him, there are too many examples of reform failures in history.

Those who participated in the reform mostly had a worrisome end.

Seeing his reaction, Feng Yibo smiled and said:
"You should know about the new learning that Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin and I have engaged in, right?"

Li Shouzhong still frowned, but nodded and said:
"nature."

This matter caused a lot of trouble, and he even talked with Feng Yibo once.

"That's part of our reforms, mostly ethos."

Feng Yibo smiled, and said again:
"There is still a part that involves the court, and I hope the teacher can help me grasp the proportion."

Li Shouzhong was slightly relieved when he heard that he was asked to be careful.

"You guys should discuss this matter first, and make a statement. Let's talk about it after I read the specific content."

That's what he said, as if he wanted to promise.

But then, he also persuaded:
"If you want to do reform, you should also think of a way for your teacher. You young people, you should listen more and read more, and don't just say 'reform' when you are hotheaded."

Feng Yibo treats Li Shouzhong like a father.

You can risk your life to save each other, but you can't tell all the secrets.

Similarly, Li Shouzhong treats Feng Yibo as his own son.

It can be protected under the wings, rather than obeyed.

Between the two, they are not father and son, but they are like father and son.

It is obviously a pity to entrust their lives to each other.

But on some things, I still have reservations.

Sometimes, that's how people relate to each other.

Even the relationship between biological parents and children.

It's also very subtle.
