Chapter 252 Have Faith

“…… At this point today, I would like to say one thing to you. &*．． Fastest update** Yesterday, I watched a killing in the east of the city and met an old man, this old man is called Qian Xiwen. Knowing his news is because of earlier ...... The day before yesterday, I decided to go over and take a look at the things that Ru You told me. I wasn't very familiar with Qian Xiwen before, but of course I met a few times. He is a man who understands power and humanity very well. In the early years of Hangzhou, if something happened, he said a word, which could have a decisive effect, and today, I want to tell you about this old man. ”

The shade of the trees swayed, and the insects chirped leisurely, and the voice of the young teacher was ringing in the classroom of the academy. At this time, there were dozens of students of all sizes in the classroom, and behind the window outside the classroom, there were actually five or six students gathered there, some lying on the windowsill, some squatting on the ground counting stones, but they were all listening to what was being said inside.

Since there have been several conflicts in the academy because of Mr. Ning Liheng, the students have been divided into several factions, some of which want to kill this gentleman, some who are close to him and want to keep this gentleman, and more of them are naturally neutral factions. No matter what their likes and dislikes, when the news of Mr. Ning's interesting lecture came out, many people were willing to come to this class C to listen to a lesson on "Historical Records".

If it was the traditional school in the past, if the students wanted to run around so freely, they would probably be beaten and scolded to death by the husband, but in today's Wenlie Academy, there are naturally few gentlemen who really dare to control the students. At this time, every day when I went to the "Historical Records" class of Class C, there were about 40 Baoning and neutral students gathered in the class, as for the squatting outside the window and looking ill-intentioned, it was probably those who wanted to find fault with the Ning faction, they said that they were adhering to the idea of knowing themselves and knowing that they would not be defeated in a hundred battles to listen to the truth, but after all, they were all children from ** to fifteen or sixteen years old, listening to Ning Yi's story was interesting, and they often listened to it with relish, and only after listening did they show a disdainful look.

However, the story told today has made the atmosphere inside and outside the classroom slightly stranger.

"The Qian family was originally a big family in Hangzhou, and their family originally had many high-ranking officials. There is a very interesting little story about Qian Xiwen...... A few months ago, I just came to Hangzhou, and I went to visit him in Qianfu with letters from my elders, and met two young men who were chasing and beating, and then picked up a red coral pen grid...... I got ten yuan because of this, but it was not a flying ticket, but a copper plate strung together, a whole ten dollars, it was very hard to move, I asked later, only to know that this coral pen grid is Qian Xiwen's favorite instrument......"

There are things about Qian Xiwen, starting with the matter of coral brushes, and then gradually talking about the famine a few years ago, the Liqiu Poetry Society, and so on. Up and down the classroom, there was a slight commotion for a while. The children in the class are all children, but they can probably hear the position of this story, they Bao Ning Yi because they feel that Ning Yi has already voted for the rebels, and when they talk about Qian Xiwen, some of the children began to waver.

The story goes that at some point in the corridor outside, two gentlemen from the academy came over, probably thinking that the atmosphere inside was different, and after standing there and listening to a few words, a look of surprise appeared on their faces: "This person is crazy? ”

"I don't think so...... Do you have no fear......"

The two listened in amazement for a while, and then another gentleman came over, and after a few words, he also looked at the two companions in surprise. They are all Confucian scholars from Hangzhou, and they naturally know the name of Qian Xiwen. But at this time, to say this kind of thing in Fang La's territory, isn't it just looking for death? ..., on the side of the corridor, a young man in a black shirt seemed to be wandering around. Although it is a fresh face that I have never seen, but at this time there are guards outside the academy, and those who can come in at this time, looking at this spiritual energy, you can probably know that the man in front of Lu Dao is a martial artist, and most of them are still the generals of the Fang La army, because as soon as he appeared, one of the several children playing outside the classroom was obviously frightened, and retreated a few steps, and then seemed to discuss with his companions whether to leave.

The three Confucian students looked at each other and bowed their heads to leave, and the young man glanced at the backs of several people, and then glanced sideways at the classroom on Ning Yi's side. He thought for a moment, then sat down on the railing of the corridor a kilometer away from the classroom, plucked a thatch and put it in his mouth, and seemed to rest here. At this distance, there was no movement in the classroom, but the words on both sides were always heard clearly, and it was not long before the young man understood what the other person was saying.

"The so-called defense is to die at the right time to show you. That's what the old man said. There are many smart people in this world, and as far as I'm concerned, I also think that if he wants to do more things, he doesn't have to die here, he doesn't have to come back, this old man is also a smart person, but what he is afraid of is that when everyone is like this, when everyone is like this, others can't give appropriate examples when they talk about righteous death. Everyone will say, although you gentlemen, all the time, are talking about backbone, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, for what the other party called, everyone ran away, he stayed, everyone will say, there is a Qian Xiwen, here, did such a thing, what he has done in his life in learning, is not fake. ”

"He and his family died yesterday." The gentleman named Ning Yi paused: "I hope everyone can remember such a story and remember that there is such a person." Now that you've finished talking about what you're going to talk about today, you can talk about it now. ”

Barely finished his words, a child raised his hand and stood up indignantly: "Mr. Ning, when you say this, do you mean to say that the court is a good person?" To say that we are bad people? Someone then chimed in. Ning Yi in front of him looked at it lightly, and waited until the noise in the classroom was finished before he spoke.

"Good people, bad people, it's not that simple thing, I can't tell you who is good and who is bad, I only tell you to be human. Today, your parents asked you to come to this school, learn the Four Books and the Five Classics, read books, read history, what are you doing? The people in the imperial court didn't spend a lifetime reading this. You stand in different places, but you learn the same things, I want to tell you, what you want to learn, are in the things that this old man does, I am your husband, I think you really want to learn well, then you should not miss him. ”

"When it comes to good and bad, right and wrong, it is not that if one person stands in a good place, another person must stand in a bad place. Corrupt officials are rampant, Huashigang makes the people miserable, you get up and kill them, this is a good thing, you read, the books will teach you, at least I will teach you, this is also the case. What the old man did was also a good thing. I tell you about him so that you can remember that there is an old man who studied Confucianism, he has his own way, he has done such things, and he has achieved such an extent, and in the future, you must also have your own persistence and don't lose to him...... Will you lose to him? ”

After all, children and young people are quite enthusiastic, Ning Yi asked this, and everyone immediately shouted: "Of course not!" The sound came and went for a while, and even a few children outside the window were infected. But naturally there are still people who want to ask simple right and wrong, Ning Yi paused for a moment and looked at everyone.

"If you were born in peacetime, I shouldn't have told you this, Tian Yuchang and Chen Qiu...... Some of you are still too young, I shouldn't have taught you too early to be too complicated about right and wrong, you may not understand. But you are not born in peacetime, most of you should have experienced it, you are fighting, your father is fighting, just like Yu Sihe, you have already been on the battlefield, right? One of them, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, raised his head.

"Then you should know that the battle is far from over, I hope you will not go to the battlefield again, but you are the disciples of the generals, you must be prepared. There are a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court, and there are many hopeless people who only care about fighting for power and profit, regardless of the lives of the people, but there are also some people, they are the same as this old man, I don't want you to become corrupt officials and corrupt officials who only care about looting the people's fat and people's ointment, even if it is only a part. ”

"Now that you are studying here, call me sir, and I want you all to become like that old man. In your life, you must have faith, you pick up a knife, you must remember that you picked it up for something, corrupt officials have no way, so you kill officials and rebel, the world is rotten, and you set things right. Remember that you picked up the knife to make what you see around you better. ”

"Those who grew up in the peaceful season, they went to the academy to learn how to be an official, or to know Braille, and to have a skill in copying and writing in the future. When you enter the school, your parents at home say that they want you to have a chance, but I don't want to just learn to intrigue and become an official in the camp. If you learn faith, then it will be meaningful, and you will really learn what is said in this subset of scriptures. ”

After saying this, there was some silence in the class. Naturally, some children vaguely understand, but they are too young, at best, they can only memorize ignorance, many years later, they may remember that someone said such a thing, but now, they can still only look at their companions around them, slightly confused. One of the nine-year-olds raised his hand and said timidly, "That'...... Sir, we killed the old man, did we kill the wrong person? ”

"That's right." Ning Yi shook his head, "You have to learn in the future, admire the enemy, learn from the enemy, but don't try to sympathize with them, especially like this, he will never surrender, you can only kill him." There is an enemy on the battlefield, he is strong in martial arts, everyone thinks he is powerful, you also say, he is really powerful, when it comes to fighting, if you also think, he is awesome, if you kill him and can't bear it, then you will die. You have to have your own persistence, the more powerful and big the enemy, the more you should exert 12 points of strength to kill them. But...... If you have time, you can go and bury the old man's body and give him incense or something. ”

After all, the children can't feel such a complicated view of good and evil, and the young children now basically feel that the old man is a good person, and it is a pity to die, and only then do they nod their heads when they hear Ning Yi talk about the burial incense.

On the railing of the corridor outside, the young man in black who was sitting spat out the grass stalks in his mouth, frowned, and left with a leisurely pace......

There was no major incident in the academy, and Ning Yi's lecture on Qian Xiwen shocked the entire academy in the following day or two. On the one hand, everyone sighed at Qian Xiwen's tragedy, and on the other hand, it also caused all kinds of discussions about Ning Yi, some admired his courage, and some felt that he was impatient, but for his speech in the second half, they were somewhat surprised which side he was on.

In such an atmosphere, in addition to some interaction with a group of students, Ning Yi has become the most isolated person in the academy, some people admire him, but they don't dare to interact with him, some people are unhappy with him, and they just quietly watch what kind of fate he will get. As for the outside of the academy, his lectures on this day also had a certain impact.

The remains of the Qian family were later relatively formally buried, and the person who handled the matter was a general named Yu Kaitai, who was the father of Yu Sihe, and he didn't know Ning Yi's background, but he just felt that "that gentleman taught my son very well." There were also a few people who listened to those words and felt that this gentleman was sorry, but after that, he did not make any random movements, as if someone was secretly stopping their actions.

Then from the sixth day of the eighth month, it is a series of good days and auspicious days, and the city of Hangzhou is in an uproar, including the Green Forest Conference composed of a large group of green forest heroes, preparing to elect Fang La as the leader of the Tiannan Martial Arts, and by the way, electing a deputy leader of the alliance and the like, because of the official support, it has made a lot of noise. Then the parade, carnival, the "tribute from all over the world" sent by various uprising places and cottages, etc., etc., to the most lucrative, is Fang La's emperor ceremony.

In fact, all this was determined half a month ago, the team of the court was almost formed, and the news had already been publicized, but it was only at this time that it was officially announced to the world that the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty was officially announced.

Well, this chapter is number four, and it's not too late......
