Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 95 The Game in Shangshui County 6
It has to be said that Zhang Qiyuan is also a talented person, and his cursive brushwork is quite free and unrestrained, and he completes it in one go, which is impressively in the style of European style.

The words are like the person, it is true!

"The benefit to the people is the benefit to the country." The magistrate Nian Xu smiled, looked at Wang Xiu and said with a smile: "Where the benefit lies, the state uses it."

Zhang Qiyuan put down his pen, smiled lightly and said, "I have lived up to my trust, and made the county magistrate laugh at me."

Wang Xiu sighed softly, looking at Zhang Qiyuan with complicated eyes, but he still admired: "Brother Zhang has a strong pen, and in time he will definitely be a master."

Just as he finished speaking, the white-faced scholar said in a deep voice: "A gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means profit. Seeking profit in front of us and other Confucian disciples is probably unreasonable and inconsistent with morality."

The county magistrate looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, obviously agreeing with what the white-faced scholar said.Here I want to explain one point, the county magistrate is not as unpredictable as being with the county captain, he is completely using the attitude of an old scholar to conduct academic exchanges with these scholars, scholars!It is true that he is arrogant and arrogant, but it is another kind of demeanor to be approachable in front of the younger generation.

Wang Xiu glanced at the white-faced scholar. His surname is Fang and his name is Zizhen. He is about thirty years old. He is an old scholar in Shangshui County. Ranked No. 16 in Chenzhou Jieshi, one of the last few.

He didn't hesitate, and said loudly: "The people's livelihood is the most important thing. If the people benefit, the country will prosper. Public and private interests are clearly distinguished. Why not?"

Morality?What is morality, the master said: eat enough to know etiquette.

They don't even have the most basic living conditions, and their dignity is lost. What kind of morals and etiquette are they talking about? Isn't that bullshit!He couldn't help sighing and said: "My son said that a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way. I think that as long as it doesn't harm the family and the country, one who seeks profit will seek profit. Small people seek profit for their livelihood and pay taxes to the court. The court takes profits from all directions. Ben Qiangyuan, if you say that seeking profit is profit-seeking!"

"A gentleman disdains a person who speaks profitably." Fang Zizhen smiled disdainfully.

"Brother Fang said even more, our generation is responsible for governing the world, caring for the world, and governing all the people. How can we bow down for that adu, it is simply insulting to the gentlemen."

"That's right, a gentleman disdains profit and dies because of righteousness."

"No business, no profit, what are you wearing, and where did this table full of fruits come from?" He Wei couldn't help but retort.

What is acid?This is sour, it is just the difference in the value of life. One side supports a hundred kinds of people. For Confucian scholars who claim to be authentic Confucian children and have spiritual cleanliness, morality is above everything else, and no trace of contamination can be tolerated!Even the words of the sage Confucius they respect, as long as they do not agree with their thinking, they must discard them as evil.

Let me ask, if the Jurchens really called, how many of these people who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, would have a little bit of backbone?

After Wang Xiu figured this out, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. He was a little too idealistic. It should be said that he was too excited about the starting point of rebirth, the mentality of surpassing the times, and forgetting that everyone has their own most basic principles. Not all the way, there will never be a common language.Having figured this out, he smiled casually and said, "Three Thousand Ways, they all come down to wontons, the debate between Taoism and Buddhism, and the debate between profit and righteousness, how boring." The gazes of the county magistrate and Zhang Qiyuan, There was an extra layer of ambiguity, obviously they understood what Wang Xiu meant.

? Zhang Qiyuan interjected directly, and swayed a lot of pens. He impromptuly came up with the first man Jianghong. Although he was not very upright, he also had a seven-point rhythm, which attracted frequent applause from the crowd. There were even two people with twinkling eyes, which seemed to be admiration for him. The love is really like a torrential river rushing incessantly. The magistrate saw that the fire was almost ready, but he walked to the long window and looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully.

Wang Xiu understood, knowing that today's magistrate's meeting was probably for Lu Tianshou's affairs. After all, there were too many rumors outside, and the public opinion became more and more difficult to control. It was even rumored that he colluded with bandits and designed to frame Lu Tianshou. It would be impossible not to close the case quickly!
Beside the long window, more than ten steps away from the scholars who were talking around Zhang Qiyuan, the magistrate Zai Wangxiu came over, and said with a faint smile: "When will you leave?"

Wang Xiu also had a smile on her face, and said respectfully: "The date is undecided, and everything must be arranged by my father." The answer was quite satisfactory, and no one would pick out any faults. All goodness and filial piety come first! What can you say?
"Father's fate is great, that's right." The county magistrate smiled and twisted his beard, and said in a warm voice: "The court's Ministry of Rites examination is no small matter. I think that the old man was innocent in the past, but he was still made things difficult by the Ministry of Rites. Thinking about it, I am really annoyed."

Wang Xiu smiled and glanced at the county magistrate, feeling like a bright mirror in his heart, the old man was telling him that Lu Tianshou's case should come to a conclusion, don't just sit and watch jokes without pain in the back, and make people angry and everyone will not look good.

"A grown-up is an upright official, so naturally he disdains to join forces with those little fellows."

The county magistrate glanced at Wang Xiu, saw that he was silent, and secretly scolded the little fox.

In other words, Lu Dayou was making a fuss outside, and it was difficult to draw conclusions in the county. The county captain took those rogues away and asked about the matter, but he was caught in an embarrassing situation.Lu Dayou has put a lot of money away, he has short hands to grab people, short mouth to eat people, and Lu Tianshou refused to admit the assassination, so he should have passed in a muddle.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiu kept silent, as if staying out of the matter, and this attitude was even more uncertain.If it had been changed to Xiaomin, or Wang Xiu from half a year ago, everything would have been solved easily, and they would naturally protect the Lu family.

But it can't be done now, not to mention the strong rise of the Wang family, with silence as foreign aid, the county magistrate can't afford to offend, even Wang Xiu herself is not bullying at will.

Needless to say, it is just the No. 1 example. If you favor others, if Wang Xiu goes to Kaifeng and beats the Dengwen drum, then the sky will be leaked. I can't afford to eat.

Therefore, this matter can only depend on Wang Xiu's attitude, he can reconcile one or two, and see if everyone can be happy.

"Hey, little brother now."

Wang Xiu had a toothache for a while, and with a bit of resentment in his eyes, he dawdled and said: "Your Excellency was ten years old, and he is really a role model for my generation."

At this moment, the magistrate felt a toothache, secretly thinking that this kid is cunning, he said so clearly, but he still didn't fall for it, he seemed to want to raise the price, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Good things take time, young people must know how to advance and retreat , in order to stand out."

Wang Xiu smiled lightly, what kind of bird advances and retreats, and you are still using your old man to teach you a lesson. You old boy has been messing around for so many years, isn't it just tossing around at the county level?

However, no matter how you say it, he has gained a lot of knowledge today, seeing Qingliu's reserve talents, and understands how Zhichen is trained!Subconsciously think about the way to get along with these so-called gentlemen.Of course, there are old officials like Zhixian, who are not very capable and often receive some benefits, but have a small ability to govern a party. This is the foundation of political power!most of the officials.

"My lord, have you ever heard of cutting meat to feed eagles?"

The magistrate was taken aback, this riddle made him a little confused.

"Humans can have a few ounces of meat, but the eagle will never be able to feed them enough. What can I do? I have to cut the meat again, and there is still a chance of survival. The junior sees it, and I hope the adults will give advice." Wang Xiu smiled.

The magistrate took a deep breath, and couldn't help but look at Wang Xiu more, thinking to himself that this young man has a charming smile, but is ruthless, he is a ruthless guy who would kill someone if he seized the opportunity!One sentence drove him to a dead end, but he had to defend the Lu family, so he had to smile and say: "What you say is reasonable, but there is something wrong with being kind."

Wang Xiu smiled. He had already made a decision. Although he would not die if he beat a snake, he would suffer from it, but it was not absolute. In his eyes, Lu Tianshou and even the Lu family could only be regarded as a bug. Only Zhang Qiyuan could be called a pitiful bug. A dormant poisonous snake.Obviously profiting from it, he definitely can't do as Zhang Qiyuan wished, the county magistrate came out to speak, the time has come, and he must not be vague when it's time to stop, or he will really be passive.

As soon as the magistrate's words fell, he smiled lightly: "However, there is no absolute in everything, just as Xia Zhuozuo said, the wind moves with the heart."

The corner of Zhixian's mouth twitched, and there was a sound of phlegm in his throat, and he coughed twice. In a few words, the ups and downs that Wang Xiu gave him were too shocking.It's no wonder that this kid can suddenly rise to fame, become a blockbuster, and he is like a fish in water. Even the young proprietor of Wan Shi Xing licked his face and leaned forward. He really is a well-known man!

Thinking about the theory of mind learning, his eyes gradually became more serious, and he no longer regarded Wang Xiu as a newcomer from the younger generation, but a scholar who had to face up to him.
