Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 14

The man who knocked down Yinzuo was a half-year-old man in his fifties, with a clear face, big eyes, three long beards, a little white hair on the temples, a python robe with eight pythons and five claws, and a white pheasant mending suit.Yinzuo, the official, also recognized that it was Guo Xiu who became famous all over the world because he defeated Jin Fu, the governor of the river.

Guo Xiu, courtesy name Ruifu, nickname Huaye, was born in Guojiaxiang, Jimo City (now part of Jimo Town).Born as a Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi, served as the county magistrate of Wujiang for seven years, entered the court in the 25th year of Kangxi and served as the censor of Jiangnan Dao. , known as "Guo Dashen" and "Guo Yiben", which means that if this person does not participate, he will be able to overthrow his opponent if he participates.

Although Yinzuo had something on his mind and was very annoying, but he was not a person who blamed others, he was walking on his own without looking at the road, and he was knocked down by himself, so he didn't mean to blame Guo Xiu at all. He waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's Ben Beizi's own carelessness, so I can't blame Mr. Guo." At a glance, he saw Ben Huang's thick-faced mask lying on the ground, presumably it was dropped by Guo Xiu when he collided with him, so he picked it up casually , my heart was full of curiosity, I wanted to know who this "one book" adult planned to join again.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I saw it, I was startled, Yinzuo closed the folder suddenly, a kite turned over and jumped up, landed in front of Guo Xiu, stretched out his hand to help Master "One Book", and said excitedly: "Guo Xiu My lord, this matter is very important, if it is a secret participation, I am afraid that the possibility of staying in the middle is more likely to not be released, otherwise..." Yin Zuo said quickly against Guo Xiu's ear, Guo Xiu nodded frequently, and finally wiped his face. Wiping his beard, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Bei, for your suggestion. The officer understands, so I will do it accordingly."

"Go to court!" With the shout of Gao Yingnian, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, today's morning court has officially begun. The civil and military officials walked on the right way in the palace. The royal family is in the middle, and civil and military are separated. Except for the sound of footsteps, there was no noise at all, and it was a solemn and solemn scene, but the corners of the mouths of most officials showed unconcealable smiles, because today there will be a big show.At this moment, Yinzuo, one of the protagonists of the drama, is walking among the officials. In front of him are the elder brother and Fuquan, who have just been named Baylor and are complacent. In the crowd, was completely submerged in the crowd.

This morning, there were only a few unimportant ministers who played the memorial, and the things they played were all trivial matters. Neither Kangxi nor the ministers paid attention to these trivial matters. sent away.The ministers who were not open-eyed at this time also understood that today is not a good time to write a book, and everyone calmed down for a while, and they all looked at Kangxi, waiting for the old man to speak, and it was a good show.

The hall was filled with a strange atmosphere, and after a long silence, Kangxi spoke: "Shen Zhengwen."

"The minister is here." A person walked out quickly from the end of the civilian queue, and fell to his knees on the ground.

Kangxi leaned on the large dragon chair and said expressionlessly: "Shen Aiqing, I have read your papers, and I think so, but some people don't take it seriously, and plan to have a lawsuit with you, Mr. Shen, what does Shen Aiqing think?" ah?"

"I have no objection."

"That's good. Yin Zuo."

"My son is here." Yinzuo strode out of the royal queue, and also knelt down on the ground.

Kangxi said slowly: "If you don't understand the reasoning, if you don't explain it, you can't understand it. Today, I will give you a chance to defend yourself."

"Yes, Xie Huang Ama." Yinzuo kowtowed, got up and stood facing Shen Zhengwen, and said politely: "Master Shen is an important minister of the court, please invite him first."

"The old minister dare not, Mr. Bei is a nobleman of Tianhuang, so Mr. Bei should invite first."

These polite words are the meaning of the title, after a few words of politeness from both sides, Shen Zhengwen took the lead in attacking: "Zi Xia said: 'Although the way is small, there must be something worthy of it, and if you go far, you will be afraid of mud, so a gentleman should not do it. '(1) Mr. Bei Zi is a noble person of the Heavenly Family, and this small way is not only inconsistent with the law, but also unreasonable."

Depend on!Recite the quotations of saints, who is afraid of whom!Yinzuo immediately replied: "The sage said: 'Wealth can be sought; even those who hold the whip, I will do it. If you can't ask, follow what I like.'(2) It can be seen that the sage does not object to seeking Wealth, as long as it is not against the way of heaven, the sage encourages it. What Ben Beizi does not hurt people or kill people, and secondly does not bully the market, so why not say so.”

Shen Zhengwen was worthy of being a Jinshi in the two rankings, and he immediately responded: "The master said: 'A gentleman seeks the way but not food.' (3) Mr. Bei is still young, so he should bury his head in the scriptures and follow the footsteps of the former sages. The old minister is deeply saddened to abandon the basics and pursue the last."

……

"A benevolent monarch emphasizes agriculture and not business."

"Without agriculture, there is no stability, without business, there is no wealth, and Guan Zi (Guan Zhong), a great sage, does not despise business."

……

One, one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, and one, were full of sages, and they started arguing, citing scriptures and quotations, all of a sudden, sparks flew all over the hall, and quotations flew around. The rule of not being rude, from time to time applauded the wonderful words of both parties, and Mr. Kangxi also smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of interfering in this debate.

Although Yinzuo is proficient in the collection of scriptures, but if he really wants to entangle with Shen Zhengwen so literally, it is impossible to have any chance of winning, so after arguing for a while, Yinzuo threw a heavy bomb: "Zi said: "A benevolent man establishes others if he wants to be established, and achieves others if he wants to achieve himself. It can be called the way of benevolence if he can draw an example. (4) Ben Beizi has four factories in the north and south, with more than 80 employees. They are all poor people with no means of living. However, since entering the factory, every family has a house, no worries about food and clothing, and their children can afford to go to school. I paid [-] taels of silver in various taxes. This is well documented, and it is not unjust. Ben Beizi is not afraid of crooked shadows, but some people are different. As the saying goes, a righteous man must first correct himself. It is really a joke to blame others for being unclean.”

Yinzuo's words made it clear that the bottom of Shen Zhengwen's butt was not clean, Shen Zhengwen was so excited that his eyes were filled with stars, he pointed at Yinzuo and said, "You, you, you..." After a while, he calmed down and said, "Bei Zi Lord, this is the imperial court, and there must be evidence for what you say."

"Evidence? I have it here!" A man appeared from the ranks of civil servants, strode forward, knelt down in front of Kangxi and said loudly, "Guo Xiu, the censor of the minister, has a copy to play."

As soon as the ministers saw that it was the famous "Guo Yiben", there was an uproar, and everyone's faces were ugly. I don't know who is going to be unlucky this time...

Notes (1) Doing business, working, etc. are small ways, although they can achieve certain achievements, but it is impossible to achieve the great way, so a gentleman will not engage in this kind of work.

(2) If it is wealth that does not violate the law of heaven, even if it is a groom, I will go. If it is wealth that violates the law of heaven, then I should go to study.

(3) A gentleman only pursues the Dao and does not think about farming or other things.

(4) A benevolent person is the kind of person who not only makes himself rich, but also makes everyone else rich.
