Chapter 118: Gathering Three Heroes to Talk About Heaven and Earth
After Lin Duo heard this, although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he felt that Yu Ming was right, so he asked Yu Ming if he was tired of reading, not necessarily because he wanted something.
Yuming insisted on his own opinion and told Lin Duowen that if Lin Duowen didn't believe it, according to what he said, he didn't try to read without seeking a solution, then if Lin Duowen was still tired of reading, then he was wrong.
Lin Duowen really wanted to try it, but he was also ready to wait until he got married to talk about it.
Lin Duowen also discovered that Yuming was a learned person, and staying in school like this was also a tyrannical thing, so Lin Duowen was ready to introduce Yuming to Chen Shihong.
Lin Duowen knew that with Chen Shihong's talent and learning, after marrying Miss Chu, he would definitely be promoted, this Yuming helped under Chen Shihong, and when Chen Shihong recommended him, Yuming could avoid the imperial examination and enter the official career.
So Lin Duowen wrote a post to ask Yuming to help send the invitation to Chen Shihong, so that Yuming could meet Chen Shihong.
Yu Ming naturally understood Chen Shihong's thoughts, and he himself wanted to see what Chen Shihong, a Hanlin bachelor, really had to do.
When Yuming arrived at Chen Shihong's Yamen in Zhixian County, Chen Shihong was entertaining a good friend.
Zhou Shuitian came here, and he came once because Chen's father asked Liang Fayao to write a letter to persuade Chen Shihong to marry Miss Chu.
Liang Fayao naturally couldn't come in person, and Li Changji had to study hard and strive to enter the office as soon as possible, so he could only come from Zhou Shuitian.
After Zhou Shuitian came, he didn't rush to talk about it, but asked Chen Shihong what he had seen and heard after leaving. Chen Shihong said something, especially praised Ye Shixi and Chu Jishan, saying that these two people are rare heroes in the world.
However, Chen Shihong also sighed, it's a pity that Ye Shixi was born in a poor family, and in the end he could only be a mansion, if Ye Shixi had a good background, it would not be a problem to become Jiuqing.
Zhou Shuitian said that the situation is not bad now, if it is the second concubine regent, it is difficult for Ye Shixi to even be a Hanlin, at that time, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi made it clear that she would use the family to rule the world.
Zhou Shuitian sighed that over the years, the imperial court has gradually changed, although Xungui is still an important minister of the imperial court, but many Han scholars can be officials in the court, which is also considered the luck of Han scholars.
This Han Shi has this opportunity, so naturally he should cherish it and not waste it in vain. Therefore, Chen Shihong should marry Miss Chu, and with Dingguo Gong as the backstage, then Chen Shihong wants to be a marquis and worship the prime minister with his own talents, which is naturally easy.
Chen Shihong knew in his heart that Zhou Shuitian was here to persuade him, but when he heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He knew it was the truth, but he always felt that he had achieved something by virtue of a woman.
Zhou Shuitian was different from the arrogant Li Changji, he sensed Chen Shihong's unhappiness, and saluted Chen Shihong and said, "Brother Chen, it's the younger brother who lost his words." Brother Chen's talent naturally goes without saying, Miss Chu is just a virtuous helper. In the past, Emperor Xuan's ascension still needed the dragon as a ride. ”
Chen Shihong naturally said that it was okay, he told Zhou Shuitian that he had agreed, and wrote a reply, if Zhou Shuitian left a few days late, then there would be no need for such a trip.
However, it is always a good thing to meet old acquaintances in this foreign country, so Chen Shihong hopes that Zhou Shuitian can stay here and leave after he gets married.
Zhou Shuitian also readily agreed, he said that he also wanted Tongshan Academy to take classes, what is the difference between the Academy.
Chen Shihong told Zhou Shuitian that he had met Ding Yuli a few times, and Ding Yuli was still a little worse than Liang Fayao. However, after all, Ding Yuli has been following Lin Quan for a long time, and his academic foundation is solid, although he has not played Lin Quan's knowledge, he can be upright.
Zhou Shuitian nodded, and when he was about to ask Chen Shihong to help introduce him, Yuming arrived.
Yu Ming came in and handed over the invitation, and after Chen Shihong accepted it, he asked Yu Ming to sit down and said to Yu Ming: "This is Brother Kong, I once heard Wu Bo say that Brother Tai you, today I know Jing, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Yu Ming didn't even dare to say it, Chen Shihong introduced Zhou Shuitian to Yu Ming, although Yu Ming knew Zhou Shuitian's name in his heart, but it was not easy to say.
Zhou Shuitian heard that Yu Ming was a disciple of the academy, so he asked Yu Ming for advice, and Yu Ming also answered one by one.
In the middle of this question and answer, Yu Ming was secretly sweating, this week Paddy Field is very knowledgeable, after answering himself, Zhou Paddy Field can add some other people's views to supplement for himself.
In this way, Yu Ming's original arrogance disappeared without a trace, he thought that he was taught by a famous teacher, and he was talented, even if Lin Quan was alive, he might not be as good as himself.
Now this unknown academy disciple, as if he had finished reading all the books in the world, made Yu Ming feel depressed.
However, Yu Ming is a person who is very good at comforting himself, he persuaded himself that he is the king of the East China Sea after all, and he is a king, and the king is important to know people and be good at his duties, not to know the past and the present.
Thinking of this, Yu Ming looked at Zhou Shuitian, this Zhou Shuitian is still clothed now, not even a showman, but he can win it over.
Since Yu Dingtian was crowned king in the East China Sea Kingdom, among the three generations, there are more military generals than civil ministers. Although there are a group of top masters in martial arts, there are few slightly famous literati.
He then asked Zhou Shuitian tentatively, with Zhou Shuitian's knowledge, not to mention a little talent, even if he was a jinshi, he was just exploring the bag and taking things, why was he still clothed until now.
Chen Shihong explained for Zhou Shuitian that Zhou Shuitian was a person like Tao Wuliu, who loved nature and did not like the constraints of famous teachings, so he read for himself, rather than for the purpose of fame.
Yu Ming was not surprised, but he didn't have to let Zhou Shuitian be an official in the East China Sea, he had other plans.
He asked Zhou Shuitian, since he was unwilling to make meritorious contributions, would he be willing to make a statement? Be a teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts, and pass on your knowledge to future generations.
Zhou Shuitian nodded, saying that he did have this idea. He didn't explicitly say that he wanted to inherit the Shenmu Academy.
Yu Ming then began to talk about this, and he said that now, except for Lin Quan's lineage, the students of other academies are just studying for fame. Such a student, except for the heart of profit, does not have the slightest heart of benevolence and righteousness.
Yu Ming said that this cure is on this, even the scholars are bent on chasing fame and fortune, so other people will naturally follow suit, so the people in the world are in turmoil, and the rebellion has risen one after another.
Yu Ming thinks that if he wants to rule the world, he must let the scholars know benevolence and righteousness, not let the scholars know the benefits.
When Yu Ming said this, he deliberately sighed, for so many years, scholars from all over the Central Plains have been blinded by fame and fortune, where can there be Confucian and Mencian orthodoxy in this world.
"Two brothers, I am dissatisfied with you, in fact, I have a heart to ride in the sea. Maybe there is a paradise for scholars overseas. ”
When Zhou Shuitian heard Yu Ming's words, he wondered in his heart, this Yu Ming was a person from Tongshan Academy, he shouldn't have this idea, could it be that Tongshan Academy had deviated from Lin Quan's original intention back then.
Yu Ming saw that Zhou Shuitian did not respond, so he said that he had lost his temper for a while, and asked the two to forgive him.
Chen Shihong said that what Yu Ming said was good, but it was too extreme and lost the golden mean. Although there are many people who are greedy for fame and fortune today, most of them still read the books of sages and sages to raise their spirits.
And this is not the time to turn to the wilderness, only after the four bachelors of the Lin Sect began to teach, this Shilin has also changed, as long as the disciples of the academy can follow the rules set by Lin Quan at the beginning, then sooner or later, there will be a change of customs, so that Shilin will return to simplicity again.
Yu Ming praised and said yes, saying that he hoped that not only the Central Plains, but even the four seas would be affected by this, and when the time came, it would be an unprecedented prosperous era.
When Yu Ming said this, it was not good to continue the discussion. At this time, Zhou Shuitian came to ask Yu Ming. Yu Ming's response made Zhou Shuitian not very satisfied.
Although there are differences in the exegesis between the same sects, the differences are not very large. And Yuming's interpretation of the scriptures is mostly based on the notes of predecessors, rather than Lin Quan's new notes.
Later, Yu Ming also realized that he and Zhou Shuitian were not on the right path, so he hurriedly explained that he had not been in the academy for a long time, and he also wanted to take a meritorious test.
Zhou Shuitian was relieved, thinking that this was the case, he also felt sorry for Yu Ming, he felt that with Yu Ming's talent, it was not difficult to be a Jinshi. It's just that Yuming is unlucky and is not liked by the marking officer.
Yu Ming didn't want to talk about it anymore, although he didn't talk to Chen Shihong much today, but he knew Zhou Shuitian, and he was worth the trip.
After Yuming left, Zhou Shuitian sighed that if Ding Yuli had this disciple of Yuming, Tongshan Academy would definitely be prosperous in the future.
"Brother Zhou, what you said is not right. Now that Mr. Daonan has you and Brother Li, in the future, I am only afraid that the Daonan lineage can carry forward the Wenzhenggong lineage. Chen Shihong said with a smile.
Zhou Shuitian didn't answer, just smiled, and he couldn't answer anything about this matter. Zhou Shuitian also asked about Lin Duowen's situation, and Chen Shihong didn't know how to say it for a while.
Zhou Shuitian saw Chen Shihong's embarrassed appearance, and remembered the rumor, saying that the two Uncle Lin were not worthy of their fathers, and it was naturally difficult for them to talk about this kind of thing, so they didn't talk about this topic.
Zhou Shuitian asked Chen Shihong about Miss Chu, Chen Shihong's answer was quite fast, he told Zhou Shuitian that Miss Chu was a chivalrous woman, who saw uneven roads, drew a sword to help, and had the demeanor of an ancient ranger.
"It's not a secret, I'm still a scholar, and I usually raise Haoran Qi, if I talk about courage, I'm really not as good as Miss Chu."
After listening, Zhou Shuitian was a little puzzled, since he was such a good woman, why did Chen Shihong refuse at first? He thinks that Chen Shihong is not a person who cares about the identity of the other party, if he really likes it, no matter how high or low, he will agree.
