Chapter 35: Cultivating New Virtue with a New Heart (Part II)

In a fit of rage, Han Gang's face was a little ugly until he returned home.

With two lifetimes and two completely different eras immersed in red dust, Han Gang's city has actually cultivated to the point of home.

Joy and anger are just ordinary, if it is just a dispute in the political arena, whether it is to gain the upper hand or suffer a loss, it is not a big problem for him, it is like flowing water over a stone, leaving no traces.

But today the situation is very different. Zhang Zai is his respected teacher, and it is also Han Gang's long-cherished wish to bring the science of later generations to this era through the medium of qi. Lu Dalin's hand not only insulted the deceased Zhang Zai, but also had an unpredictable impact on Han Gang's plans.

The so-called concern is chaotic, although Han Gang is not chaotic, but his mood is indeed terrible.

Back home, several wives and concubines saw that Han Gang was in a different mood. Wang Yi was the first to come up, his eyes full of concern, "Official, but what happened at the banquet?" ”

"How so?" Han Gang's expression changed suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face that didn't show anything unusual, "My husband has always been kind to others, and it is at the birthday banquet of Fu Zhenggong, and no one will make trouble......

Wang Yi looked at her husband's expression, and the worry in his eyes did not subside, but he didn't ask any more, just helped serve Han Gang to bathe and change clothes. After changing into his usual clothes at home, Han Gang looked very leisurely sitting in the study, flipping through the official documents presented today. The pen in his hand kept on and seemed to be fully engaged in his work.

Han Gang didn't want his wife and concubine to worry, the same thing that Lu Dalin had completed was just a draft, and it was not an informal line, and it could still be modified, and Han Gang didn't want to make a fuss, making a big fuss, and it was not good for Guan Xue, who had now lost his backbone.

It's just that Han Gang can't be sure, and the source of Zhang Zai's life's work is said to be his two cousins. Is this Lu Dalin's arbitrariness alone, or is it bewitched by others. But judging from the reasoning, it should not be from Ercheng's instructions. Otherwise, when this article is made public, the attitude of Hengqu will only be the same as himself, and he will even blame the resentment on Ercheng.

Whether it is Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, or all the great Confucians, they must cherish their reputations, otherwise no one will learn from them. In the eyes of the world, virtue is far more important than talent. The bad impact of doing things in the behavior of the deceased Zhang Zai is too great for them to bear and will not be willing to bear.

However, Han Gang is also very clear that although Zhang Zai has been lecturing in Beijing for several years, there are many disciples, and it has flourished for a while, but the core members of the sect are still those disciples from Guanzhong.

If Zhang Zai's lifespan can be extended for a few more years, many of the new disciples who come to listen to Zhang Zai's lectures in the capital will completely join Zhang Xuemen. It's just that now that Zhang Zai has passed away, most of them have been scattered. And the old disciples also need a new core.

From the point of view of fame, Lu Dajun, Su Yu, Fan Yu and Han Gang, the four disciples of Zhangmen, are indeed qualified candidates, but they each have official status, and most of them serve outside the country - if it weren't for their status and status, there is no extra time to promote and teach, Han Gang would like to put more effort into this matter - and before Han Gang appeared, Lantian Lu had always been Zhang Zai's biggest supporter, and therefore, Lu Dalin, who had been following Zhang Zai's side, became the best candidate to write Zhang Zai's line. However, this is also the reason why Han Gang was still in Guangxi at the time, otherwise he would believe in Lu Dajun or Su Yu more.

It's just that now, Lu Dalin has switched to Chengmen, Han Gang will stick to his own path, and this path cannot be integrated with Chengmen Taoism, and the remaining disciples will also have their own choices, in this case, the division within Guanxue is inevitable.

Han Gang reflected on his recent actions, whether he was too close to the Cheng family, but Cheng Men Lixue and retreated from the table, these things were all done by him, and his fame had already been lost. The relationship between Han Gang and the Cheng family is naturally close and deep, but if he is classified as a disciple of Cheng Sect, it is also something that Han Gang does not want to see. The place where Han Gang plans to carry forward is still in Qi Science.

But Cheng Hao has the grace of teaching himself and is a recognized friendship of half-teachers, and now that Zhang Zai has passed away, it is not surprising that Han Gang is mistaken for him. For the Cheng family, Han Gang has no intention of denying the status of teacher and student, let alone cutting off the relationship. Let's not talk about reputation, his relationship with the Cheng family is not bad, and it would be a bit inappropriate to turn his eyes on him for this reason.

It's just one thing at a time, and Han Gang doesn't plan to abandon the future of Guan Xue and waste all his hard-earned income. What is needed in this era is not the road of righteousness.

But what to do, Han Gang couldn't think of a simple and effective way for a while.

Footsteps sounded outside the study, and Yan Suxin personally brought a cup of perilla drink. Han Gang slowly drank the hot medicinal soup, and then listened to Yan Suxin ask, "Is the official doing Mr. Hengqu's business today?" ”

They are all very close pillow people, and his four wives and concubines don't seem to have been hidden by his poor acting skills. After the birthday banquet, there was a dispute with Lu Dalin, and although Han Gang didn't know the details of Lu Dao, it didn't mean that they didn't know the reason why Han Gang's mood had deteriorated. The fourth girl only had to ask the entourage who was following Han Gang to know what was going on.

"It's okay." Han Gang smiled at Yan Suxin with relief.

In terms of official affairs, he tried not to talk more about it to his family, and if it was a happy event, it would be fine, but some intriguing conversations were transmitted to his home, but he couldn't even find a clean place, so Han Gang would only say 'okay' to his own people.

However, although Han Gang said that it was okay, the actual change was beyond his expectations.

Cheng Yi is ready to lecture in Kansai!

β€”β€”When a few days later, Han Gang visited the remaining old ministers in Luoyang City one by one, and went to Cheng Fuzhong to say goodbye, when Cheng Hao told him this, Han Gang couldn't help but take a look. It's too fast, Zhang Zai has only been walking for a long time, and he has been digging the corner of the wall so quickly.

It's just that when Han Gang heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even know what to say. He didn't have any reasonable reason to stop Cheng Yi from entering the customs with sincerity, and he didn't have the means to stop it.

The battle for Taoism and unification has no emotion at all. Zhang Zai died too early, and if the descendants can't keep the inheritance he left behind, don't blame others for robbing it.

"I wonder when Mr. Zheng will enter the customs?" Han Gang's face could not see the indignation in his heart at all, it was just an ordinary inquiry.

"That's what it will look like in another half a month." Cheng Hao explained to Han Gang, "The Shaanxi Zhizhou and Yongxing Military Road Transit Division, and at the same time sent a letter inviting them to give lectures in the customs, and it is no longer good to shirk it. ”

Han Gang smiled, saying that he could understand, but he didn't ask any more.

Cheng Hao also knew that it was taboo for Lu Dao to do this, but for the sake of his own Taoism, he couldn't care so much. Fortunately, judging from the attitude shown by Han Gang, he shouldn't have thought about these things yet, or rather, he didn't care very much.

Han Gang actually cared very much, but he couldn't care about it now. The gate of Tongguan is not controlled by him, and Guanzhong is not his final say, Cheng Yi was invited to Luoyang to give a lecture, Han Gang can neither stop it, nor wait for Cheng Yi to speak, and then send someone to dismantle the stage in the center.

All Han Gang could do was strengthen his own strength.

His basic countermeasure is to subvert the theories of various schools of thought on nature through the study of things, which seems to be very difficult, but Han Gang Zhilu said that as long as he establishes his absolute authority in the minds of the people, it will be easy to do this.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he had already laid the foundation, and now among the people, Han Gang's prestige can overpower any school. With the support of the people, the scholarship advocated by Han Gang can be recognized by the South.

Ordinary people's trust in authority is blind, what Han Gang has to do is to choose a breakthrough, as long as the point he breaks through is recognized by the world, or even go further, and believe wholeheartedly, then his discussion of other things will naturally become a guideline, and it can also lead to overall changes.

When I got home, the study was almost cleaned up. Han Gang planned to move his administrative office to Xiangzhou, where the former Jingnan Road Transit Division was located. This allows for close monitoring. I had to go home twice in more than a month, and Han Gang's family didn't complain about anything, but under Wang Yi's assignment, they handled the moving matters one by one in an orderly manner.

The affairs of the family were handled with the help of the virtuous insider, and Han Gang was naturally much more relaxed and became the shopkeeper.

Back in the study, he took a small wooden box from his empty partner's shelf, which looked heavy and looked like it either contained gold and silver belongings, or had enough weight of its own, and the thick wall panels were made of camphor wood to protect against silverfish.

With the key, I opened the wooden box and could see the collection inside.

Hangang's wooden box, just looking at the wall panels is very thick, the heavy weight comes from this. Instead of gold and silver jewelry, there were stacks of crudely bound manuscripts. These are all written by Han Gang himself, and they are of immeasurable value to Han Gang himself. However, some of them are of greater significance to the world world.

The main records in the wooden box are all memoirs, but after all, it is Han Gang who recalls his past life and records the memories with a pen, although they are changed to prevent misreading, but it is indeed worth carrying with a sturdy wooden box. The other part is even more valuable, and it is the manuscript of many of Han Gang's works over the years, of which the part has not yet been released, which can come in handy in the future.

After checking it again and closing the lid, Han Gang patted the small wooden box, and his future reputation was in it.
