Urban Evil Emperor

Mr. Tang shook his head and said: "Tingdong should not underestimate yourself. It is really rare for you to have such a magnanimity at such a young age. You are not afraid of power and act bravely in the face of righteousness. It is very disrespectful to my old man's temper. To be honest, my old man is not old-fashioned, I know The reason you are looking for me is that I am really old, I am already 71 years old, and I am a bit powerless to teach apprentices again.

"In addition, I am also a little sad. Nowadays, children are becoming more and more utilitarian. Sometimes they come to me not to learn painting, but to give me a false name. Tang Yao has lived for more than 70 years. He is more or less famous, and some have not made much progress. The students tried to use the name of my disciple to go out and deceive.

"Besides, in order to resist those ignorant people, I also offended a lot of people, including powerful people, so I simply refused to accept anyone who came to me.

However, today I really hit it off with Tingdong, his character of contempt for the rich and powerful is exactly the same as when I was young, and I think this girl looks dignified, and she is not a flashy person, so I will break the rules and promise you, come here some time I can help this child give pointers, as for the status of master and apprentice, forget it.

"If it's for learning, it doesn't matter if you want the title or not. If it's for the title, I just don't want to give it. So, think about it, what do you think of this method?"

It is also a blessing to the soul. After listening to Mr. Tang's words, before Ting Dong could express anything, Yumeng immediately stood up and faced Mr. Tang, bowed deeply, and then said: "Mr. Tang, since you promised to teach Yumeng, Even for one day, she is also Yumeng's mentor, and Yumeng dare not forget her teacher's kindness for the rest of her life.

"However, since the teacher has clear instructions, without the teacher's permission, Yumeng will never dare to pretend to be a disciple to the outside world. Please ask the teacher for clarification."

Tang Yao was taken aback, and before he could express anything, Tingdong stood up first, bowed to the old man, and said, "Tingdong is willing to use his personality to guarantee that Yumeng will keep his promise."

Chang Jian also stood up and bowed to the end: "Teacher, Chang Jian is also willing to guarantee."

Elder Tang laughed: "You guys, what's the use of your guarantee if Yumeng is a trustworthy person? If Yumeng is an untrustworthy person, what's the use of your guarantee? Hahaha!"

Mr. Tang laughed heartily a few times, and then said, "I see Yumeng's eyes are clear, and he is a trustworthy person. It's up to you. We are a teacher and a disciple internally, and we will not disclose it to the outside world. How about it?"

Yu Meng hurriedly bowed again and said, "Thank you, master, for fulfilling the task!"

Seeing this scene, Ting Dong suddenly remembered something, and said to Yu Meng: "You should reveal your identity to your teacher."

Yumeng was taken aback for a moment.

Tingdong said: "Yumeng, what is the purpose of hiding your identity on weekdays? Now what is the purpose of revealing your identity to Master, think about it carefully?"

Yu Meng tilted her head and thought for a while and said: "I understand. I hide my identity because I hate those people who surround me. Now I reveal my identity to Master out of respect for Master, but Master himself is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. I don’t know how to be rich and powerful, I’m afraid, afraid..."

Ting Dong shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, Yu Meng, even if Master really doesn't want you for this reason, you still have to say, do you understand?"

Yumeng straightened up, and said with a firm expression, yes: "To respect Master, first of all, you must not lie to the old man, you must tell the truth. Master, Yumeng must first tell you my life experience, I hope you can't let me go."

Mr. Tang smiled slightly and said: "Master believes in you, so you should also believe in Master. Since Master has promised you, whether you are a royal princess or a beggar's daughter, you are my apprentice, and Master promises you, as long as Master approves you You are here to learn painting, so I will announce to the outside world that you are my closed disciple."

Yumeng nodded and said: "Thank you, teacher. Over the years, Yumeng has been afraid to disclose her family members because of her special status, and she has been quite distressed. Only Tingdong and a few good friends can get along sincerely. That's because of the accident last time. Only then did I make friends with these brothers and sisters, otherwise I would not have come to Jiangcheng from Dalian.

"Teacher, do you know Yang Hong'an?"

Tang Yao was taken aback, and murmured: "Yang Hongan? Are you talking about the legendary general Yang Hongan?"

Yumeng nodded.

Tang Yao smiled: "It is estimated that there are not many people in the whole country who do not know him. Your teacher is not a person who is completely immersed in his study and does not ask about world affairs. How could he not know about General Yang? He is one of the few people worthy of respect. one.

"When the country and the nation were in peril, he still led his team to the battlefield in spite of the opposition of some people. When individual leaders fell into blind arrogance, exaggeration and imagination, he was able to plead for the people and dare to tell the truth. The sun can show the bones.

"That's a role model for my generation. To tell you the truth, I once made a painting with him as the subject of a character, and it was also the only painting of a character. However, since I have never seen him in person, I can only look for a similarity! Hehe."

Tang Yao was excited for a while, and forgot the intention of Yumeng's question. He just remembered now, looked at Yumeng and said, "Son, why did you suddenly mention General Yang? Wait, Yang Hongan, Yang Yumeng? Could it be that you have something with General Yang?" connection?"

Yu Meng nodded nervously, and said, "Yes, teacher, I am his granddaughter. My father, Yang Enwei, is his eldest son and is currently serving in the army. Please also ask the teacher to keep it secret for me."

"Are you really a descendant of General Yang?" Tang Yao looked at Yu Meng in disbelief.

Chang Jian took up the conversation in a timely manner: "Yes, teacher, she is indeed the granddaughter of General Yang. In spring, she came to Jiangcheng to visit her uncle Yang Enping, who was the chief of staff of the security division at that time, without telling her family. Unfortunately, she was killed on the train. Guan Dajun stunned the kidnapper with drugs, but fortunately he was rescued by Tingdong.

"Because Yu Meng's body was relatively weak since she was a child, she had little contact with her peers, so the few days of contact with Ting Dong and his friends formed a deep friendship between them, so Yu Meng discussed it with her parents and grandfather. Jiangcheng was studying, and only then did he live with a female classmate in Tingdong.

"Because she loved painting since she was a child, Tingdong vowed to find her the best teacher in Jiangcheng City, so he tried his best to get your advice."

Tang Yao sighed, waved his hands and said, "Sit down, all the children are sitting down. I am so happy today. Boss, heat me a pot of wine, get me a plate of peanuts, and shoot a cucumber. I want to drink two, fate, fate! It is my old man's honor to be able to teach the art of painting to the descendants of General Yang.

"Children, old people are not lofty, nor proud, nor do they seek fame and fame. I just do it rashly. I like what I like, and I don't like what I don't like. My wife and I came from humble backgrounds, and we lived a life of wealth and wealth. , so the requirements in life are not high, this is not what we deliberately pursue, but what we like.

"It's not that I don't like the rich and powerful by nature, it's also by nature, because there is really nothing I like about them. Apart from showing off their wealth and power, they don't do anything else, because those things have been deeply rooted in their bones, and they do everything they can. Time will reveal, so I hate them.

"Of course, I think, it's not that all officials are so hideous, but I don't have the chance to meet someone I like?"

Tingdong smiled: "Mr. Tang, do you think Chang Jian's face is hideous?"

Tang Yao shook his head and said, "He doesn't count. He was a student and later a teacher. Although he is now working in the Youth League Committee, he is not considered a bureaucrat."

Tingdong shook his head and said: "You are wrong, Mr. Tang. He is an official now. He is a real official, at the deputy division level. Below that is the deputy county head, deputy district head, deputy director, and deputy secretary. Why? Don't you think he's ugly?

"Because you are familiar with him and you have feelings for him. Of course, it is also related to his personal qualities and his conscience. It is not because he is low-ranking, nor is it because he was born as a student or teacher.

"There are many officials who are students and teachers. When they were students and teachers, they scolded corruption, corruption, and unhealthy practices more severely than anyone else. However, when they became officials, they were more corrupt than anyone else. This is personal. It is determined by quality and conscience.

"Of course, I think the more important thing is that the social supervision mechanism, restriction mechanism and distribution mechanism are not sound enough, and the culture of the entire nation has been destroyed. These are the reasons why some officials look hateful. I think the current situation has basically developed to the point where It's the worst, and it will gradually get better in the future.

"Our nation has always had many officials who pleaded for the people and cared about the sufferings of the people, such as Li Bing who managed the floods in the middle of Shu, Du Gongbu who "sheltered the world's poor and happy people", Bai Juyi who "thought this privately" and Hai Rui and other officials, are they hideous? Do you hate them?

"The answer is no, so I am not a pessimist, I am hopeful for the future. Of course I will not sit and wait for that day to come, I will use my way, it is my right as a citizen, to put those who violated The unscrupulous officials of my interests were pulled down, and the nouveau riche who used improper means to amass wealth were sent to hell.

"If there is one less of these two scum, the world will be a little cleaner. I believe that there will be more and more people like me, and gradually those people will have no place to stand."

Tang Yao stood up, tightly held Tingdong's hands who also stood up at the same time, and said excitedly: "Little friend Tingdong, live to be old and learn old, listening to your words is better than studying for ten years, and being old and suffering." taught.

"Old man's original principle is to be solitary and not to be filthy. It seems that this is not enough. After being born into the world, this is the highest state of literati. Although old, he will also do his part to carry forward the ancestral culture and publicize the righteousness of the society. Strength, shine a light."

Tingdong blushed and said, "I've lost my mind. The younger generation, on the spur of the moment, used an axe in front of your old man. It's really young and frivolous, hehe! Please don't blame Mr. Tang."

Mr. Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. It's really extraordinary for a young man to have such insights. No wonder Chang Jian keeps praising you as a recommender, but he doesn't mention much to my students. I guess he is also right. Yumeng doesn't know much about it. Haha!"
