Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

You have to talk about human nature

In Xiao Letian's previous life, in the 21st century, it was already difficult for humans to understand how important the relationship between teacher and student was. In that era, education had become an obligation of the State, and for the people who received education, they did not feel grateful.

This was actually a type of mind of a well-fed man who didn't know his hunger. Being fortunate while being lucky might be a common ailment of humans.

When Xiao Letian came to this era of the late Qing, when he personally witnessed the final part of the nineteenth century's education level, he made a 180 degree reversal of the relationship between teacher and student.

Knowledge was the only way to change fate. The so-called master was actually a father in a different sense. His own father gave him this life while the master gave him the life in a career.

Without a master, you wouldn't be able to enter that world, you wouldn't be able to be an official, you wouldn't be able to become a mega-merchant, and even more so, you wouldn't be a militant, a politician, or a reformer.

A person who could not even read was fated to be cannon fodder!

In this era, there was no compulsory education. If everyone wanted to open the door to a higher level, then they had to take the initiative to learn, and they had to ask someone who had the ability to teach them.

In this era, if you want to learn real things, come over here and kowtow to me and call me your father, then that's the only way to teach you.

No one is willing to give you knowledge for nothing in an era of compulsory education. You say you don't know how to write your own name? What does it have to do with me! So what if you can't figure out an easy way to settle the score? What does it have to do with you starving to death?

In ancient times, knowledge could have been kept and locked away, but no one had the duty to teach you if you wanted to learn. Although his words were harsh and unpleasant to hear, these were the most famous words in the world.

To put it another way, 'The people in this world aren't all your parents, and people treat you well if they don't have any obligations!' Cruel? This was life.

modern man who walked out of the jar of honey seemed to have long forgotten what it meant to treasure.

However, in the late Qing, where life was extremely difficult, people would grab onto any opportunity to change their fates.

Annoying of studying did not exist in the late Qing's era, because people who hated studying had no chance to attend school. They had completely broken away from knowledge and were destined to be blind for their entire lives.

As for those who had seized the opportunity to educate their students, their masters would be deeply moved by them. Thus, their masters were ranked as the most important factor in the social relations between the Chinese people in that era.

According to the laws of Ancient China, the relationship between master and disciple was protected by the law.

According to the law and the folklore, disciples had the right to inherit their masters' family property. However, they had to be ranked after their children and relatives.

In other words, if there were no relatives left in the master's home, there would be no problem for the disciple to inherit the family property.

And a disciple also has the duty of being filial to his master. If his master really wants to live with his disciple for a few years, you still have to raise him. Even if Master doesn't want to stay in your house, your disciple will have to pay you back every year. If Master's family can't keep the pot boiling, you still have to pay money to raise Master.

Under such a close relationship, the relationship between master and disciple was very strong. They were more like a community of interests than just ordinary employment.

Xiang Ying walked out of the Confucian value system. Although he had changed his Western studies halfway through, he did not lose out to the Confucian morals of being loyal, filial, honest, and shameless.

So his feelings for Xiao Letian were real. His master was his master, and that person was only second to his father!

It was true that he hated Zai Chun, he hated the Qing Dynasty and was jealous of him … Also, the future rights to his master's political heritage couldn't be more taken into consideration.

Humans were just that complicated. Every action was caused by many factors, so it was impossible to distinguish good from bad.

Xiao Letian caressed Xiang Ying's head, only he was left in the room: "Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying! This character of yours isn't good … "Too tough, it's easy to break if you're too tough!"

"I know what you're thinking, but have you ever thought about it? Zai Chun can't be by my side forever. Three years later, he will have a huge empire to rule over, and the pressure on him will be ten thousand times greater than you! "

"Did you only see him compete against you? And forget that he was also a thirteen year old child? Could it be that you don't have the slightest bit of pity for this junior brother of yours? "

"Mercy …" Xiang Ying raised his head in confusion.

"That's right!" "Pity …" Xiao Letian wiped away the tears in Xiang Ying's eyes with his palm. "You have to have a merciful heart, although there's a layer of sternness in a politician's heart, you can't lose your humanity inside!"

"Zai Chun wanted to be a pro-political child at the age of sixteen. I can foresee the impending crisis for him … "There will be people who will not listen to him. There will be people who will block his path. There will even be people who will try to assassinate him …"

"The most dangerous situation would be for someone to take over his throne. At that time, even Zai Chun would not be able to survive!"

"Go talk to Hairy # 2 when you have time. Listen to how abnormal and cruel that power center in the Forbidden City is! Do you think that Zai Chun is enjoying life as an emperor? "Wrong, he went to suffer, or he might even lose his life!"

"Xiang Ying! What if I'm a little biased? Zai Chun, this child, was pitiful enough … "I'm a little biased, but I just hope that he can find some happiness and love from me!"

"I can't save him for the rest of his life, but I can at least let him live a happy life for another three years … "Even if he were to be assassinated right after taking over the throne, I would still have a clear conscience …"

Xiao Letian suddenly cried, his tears rolling down his face. "Even if it was for this child to live a happy life for three years before he died … So what? He was a slave under the feudal emperor! He is the sacrifice of Great Qing's declining national destiny! "

Xiao Letian fiercely tapped his finger on Xiang Ying's head, his face filled with tears as he said, "A politician is also human, they cannot have a heart of stone! "Under the cold mask, you need to have a gentle heart …"

"You can't lose your humanity!"

Xiang Ying already had nothing to say, the scenes depicted in his master's mouth were things that he had never thought of, nor did he think about Zai Chun's predicament.

Yes, there was a nightmare that kept torturing Xiao Letian because he knew that Zai Chun had always been a short-lived demon in history. Although he had changed history himself, sometimes, the inertia of history was still very scary.

Could Zai Chun really change his life? Xiao Letian was completely unsure, this was the sorrow of a transmigrator. You know the lifespan of every historical figure, so you will watch him walk towards his death everyday.

You want to do something, but you don't know what you're doing. Whether it's useful or not, whether it can change the fate of others …

"Master …" I'm sorry! "I was wrong …"

The knot in the master and disciple's heart was finally resolved by the tears.
