At the beginning of May of the second year of Zhaoning, Jixian Academy was in the middle of the school.

Liu Xin gave the students a class again, and after the two sides saluted, Liu Xin said to everyone: "What I want to talk about with you today is the way to be an official. ”

The students looked at each other, not knowing why Liu Xin was talking about this. Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Xin was not surprised, and continued to say to them: "Everyone, you must be very puzzled, since our academy is not an official, why do we want to talk about being an official, in fact, it is very simple, because although we are not officials, all aspects of our affairs must be controlled by officials. ”

Liu Xin said, picked up a book and said: "For example, the Thirteen Classics, we have no financial resources to print them privately, only the official bureau will print them, if there are no officials, we can't even read the book." As for what our academy eats, if the magistrate doesn't let people sell it to our academy, we won't have anything to eat. The officials looked far away from us, but they were very close. Even if we are not officials, we must understand their way of being officials. ”

Everyone felt that this was a truth, and then Liu Xin continued: "I have discovered one thing these days. Our life is actually a circle drawn by the imperial court, we are in the circle, then we are obedient to the people, if we leave this circle, then it is heinous and rebellious. I think everyone is well aware of this. In that case, how can we not get to know these officials and understand what this circle is really like? ”

Everyone nodded and nodded, and Liu Xin said: "What I want to say next is what I have thought of after reading ancient books for many years, and I have contacted the elders to understand it. Over the years, I have realized three words, if you are an official, if you do these three words, you are the parents of the people, if you can't do it, you are the enemy of the people. The parents of this people, we should support and help. If it is the enemy of the people, even if we scholars fight for our lives, we will rise up and attack it, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Yu's debate, but the distinction between right and wrong. ”

The students saw each other and looked forward to Liu Xin saying what those three words were.

"Prudent and diligent, these three words, we often hear the Yamen magistrates boast of themselves, honest as water, cautious and independent, diligent and loving the people. With such clichés, we can basically hear calluses in our ears. But how many have done it? Some of them have cleared up, but they are incapable of misjudging unjust cases. Let the good people suffer. What is the use of such a clearing? Some are cautious, but they only care about themselves, and they only want to be worthy of their hearts, no matter how the small people live under their rule. In the end, he usually sat down to talk about his heart, and reported to the king when he died. Some are diligent, but unfortunately they are diligent in making money, as long as you give enough silver, you can close the case on the same day, and you don't care if you can't get by with your conscience, others are not unlucky. ”

The students didn't speak, looking at Liu Xin, looking forward to Liu Xin's next words.

"So these three are indispensable, the first is to have a clean breeze on both sleeves, and the second is to be cautious about the case, this official's judgment of a case is important to both families, this case involving the lives of more than a dozen people, how can you not be cautious. The third diligent is to study diligently, this is the official judgment case, for everyone, it is a big girl sitting in a sedan chair. It's normal to don't understand, but if you don't understand, you have to learn, and the imperial court will print a book of officials, so it's good to read more and learn more. If this person is lazy to study, then it is better to be an official and say that he is the master of the people, it is better to go home and plant fields, or find a deep mountain and old forest, and be a hermit. ”

Everyone laughed, Liu Xin also let go, and said the theme of today's speech: "All beings, you must know that the ancient warrior, that is, the ranger today, is called Xuanfeng. Where justice lies, they do not avoid swords, do not fear death, strive forward, and die later. In Xia Bucai, I think that now the academy should have a group of people who choose the front, go out of the academy, and go out to the Southern Dynasty (a contemptuous name for the Yu Dynasty), whether it is to be a magistrate or a master, we must take Qing Shen and Qin as a sword, Qing Shen and Qin as a shield, and fight with the Southern Dynasty. ”

Everyone was at a loss, looking at Liu Xin, this point of view, they really couldn't accept it, Liu Xin was not reluctant, and said to them: "You may not be able to accept this, but it doesn't matter, the academy has always been seeking to help people, you can write down your opinions, and then after I read it, I will discuss it with you." ”

After everyone handed in the papers, Liu Xin looked at it, and then said to everyone: "I didn't expect so many people to recognize it." ”

"Sir, I don't know when the township test will start this year."

In the Yu Dynasty, because of the inspection, the time of the imperial examination was basically uncertain, sometimes every three years, sometimes every four years. In the first year of Zhaoning, it was stipulated that the township examination would be held in the autumn of the fourth year of Zimao Wuyou, and the general examination would be held in the spring and February of next year.

Liu Xin said that he would ask Xuezheng, and when the time came, not only would they go to the township test, but Liu Xin himself would also go to the township test.

The news soon reached the ears of the Wei family, and the Wei family gathered together again to discuss, and Wei Yiyuan was the first to speak: "It really makes sense, Liu Xin dared to let students take the township examination. ”

Grandma asked unhurriedly, "How many people participated in the township test this time?" ”

"There were more than thirty people in total."

Grandma shook her head and said to Wei Yiyuan: "Righteousness is not a danger, it is your father's strategy, this people from our academy do not go to become officials, other academies do not go, and people from all over the world do not go, even if they go, it is those unfilial disciples who go, and they can't make any big waves." As long as everyone doesn't go to be an official, how can they govern this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and when they are bad, the people's hearts will be lost. Great Wei can be recovered. Your father swallowed poison because of this, this Liu Xin, who usually looks very smart, how could he be so stupid and bury your father's hard work. ”

Wei Yiyuan looked at Wei Sisi, and then said: "Liu Xin is not from us here, naturally he doesn't understand this, Sisi, your fiancé, why don't you persuade him?" ”

Before Wei Sisi could speak, Wei Yishang spoke first: "I have already persuaded this matter, Liu Xin insisted on his own ideas. And I also said, if you want to go, you will go alone, why do you want to take the students of the academy with you. Liu Xin said that there was a wise elder behind him who supported him and encouraged him to do so. I thought it was Grandma who signaled him to do this. Although Wei Yishang said grandma, he looked at Wei Sisi, Wei Sisi stuck out his tongue at him, and then cleverly hid behind Mrs. Wei.

"This kid is confused, but everyone has their own ambitions, and this is reluctant, since he is going to participate in the imperial examination, let him go, there is no shortage of him on our side. But this fish and bear's paw can't have both, if he goes to the officialdom, there will be no dojo for him here, just tell him so. ”

When Grandma said this, she looked at Wei Sisi and said, "Sisi, is that elder you?" ”

"Mom, you're laughing, how can Sisi be Liu Xin's elder?"

"These threesomes must have my teacher. Sisi, don't I know your thoughts? It's just that this matter, you really chill grandma's heart. ”

Wei Sisi looked at his grandmother and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, Liu Xin is going to be the first person to study the case, how can he show his skills if he doesn't go to the court." Grandma, he is a dragon, this thousand-year-old Dao has fallen on him, if he doesn't go, who will? ”

When Grandma heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "I don't care if he is the first or the first, now that he is the son-in-law of the Wei family, he must follow the former residence of the Wei family." Grandma only wants him to be the last person in the Wei Dynasty case, and she can't let him be the first person in the Yu Dynasty. Sisi, you tell him that he can't go to this temple. The gate of the Wei family, he can't get out. ”

Grandma said, crutches, and left here.

Seeing that grandma said this, Wei Sisi had no choice for a while, and Mrs. Wei said to Wei Sisi: "Sisi, this time, Liu Xin still doesn't want to take any township exams, but his students can still go." ”

"Mother, you've figured it out too."

"Alas, my mother is not for you, do you really think that Liu Xin being an official will do you any good? After you get married, let Liu Xin gain a fame. When the time comes, you are not a member of the Wei family, and you naturally don't have to abide by the rules of the Wei family. ”

Hearing this, Wei Sisi felt embarrassed, but she still nodded and went to find Liu Xin.

Wei Sisi said to Liu Xin: "This time, you can't go to the township to try, and your family doesn't want you to go." ”

Liu Xin nodded, not surprised by this result, but asked Wei Sisi, "Fourth Miss, can other people do it?" ”

"Other students can, after all, the academy is a place to teach, we just advise students not to be careful, if they really want to be careful, we will not stop them."

When Liu Xin heard this, he rubbed his hands and said: "It's okay like this, it's okay like this, I hope they can benefit the people and bring peace to the world." ”

Wei Sisi looked at Liu Xin like this, and said to Liu Xin, "I thought you would be disappointed." ”

"I'm a little disappointed, but I haven't learned yet, so it's better not to take the township exam. It's just that the court is not very peaceful now. ”

Wei Sisi said to Liu Xin: "You mean the matter of King Luo? ”

"Well, I heard that King Luo is going to Yuanyang Lake to exterminate Prince Wei, if that's the case, Fourth Miss, will you go back to the rescue?"

Wei Sisi didn't answer, and said after a long time: "This matter, one person, ten people, and a hundred people can do it, and now what we can count on now is that this is just a rumor, and King Luo has just leveled Guiyi Village, so he shouldn't have left so soon." ”

Wei Sisi's heart was heavy, about the news of Zhao Muzun's rebellion, there were already rumors in the ghost mansion, and the current ghost mansion did not believe it on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was unguarded.

They didn't want to believe that it was because of the death of Guyun Hou and the eastward crossing of the sword master, and only Zhao Muzun was left of the six gentlemen.
