Chapter 148 – The water talk about the king

In the Jiangnan Road, the scholar into the forest, the poorer children of the city people are dependent on the scholar show wood born of miscellaneous trees and grass vines, cut off a few bad wood weeds is not a big deal, this is the recognized truth, but the big families of scholars reserved status, but also how to deliberately target ordinary people’s homes, it is estimated to be too much to drop, but than the poorer than a line of the service of the door mandarins door of the children of the two doors especially bad behavior, spared no effort to show off their status, the Newspaper State Temple these difficult little beggar’s son of a thousand gold belongs to this category of high not low. The two groups of people are especially bad, sparing no effort to show off their status, and the sons of these sons of the Temple of the State of China, who made things difficult for the little beggar, belong to the category of this high but not low, wagging their tails and begging for mercy on the upper part, and the sons of the world’s families farting is fragrant, and squinting down at the lower part, and the characters of the humble family who wrote a really beautiful article are all considered to be too vulgar to be tolerated.

These two groups of people do not say anything else, eye power is undoubtedly excellent, the face of a poor scholar a glance through the family background, of course, unscrupulous, can turn around and see the young man who called himself the son of the world, there is some apprehension, after all, that body cut texture are exquisite Chinese dress, as well as that lofty temperament, can not be false. The son of a saying, in the ancient times is only the emperor and the vassals of the first son can have the name, nearly five hundred years to the valves gradually rise to take control of the dynasty, only a little widespread, the king’s grandchildren and the first son of the great families can be called the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son.

In the Jiangnan Road, the descendants of the generals, excluding the children of General Xu Gong, no one dares to wear a sword travel, and Longchamp generals originally from the Gumiao Xu, not the orthodox sense of the generals. Jiangnan Road advocate is the feather fan spandex, is the cattle car stag, not Xing lower ranger to play the sword, then the son is? They were a little uncertain for a while, after all, this handsome guy is not like that just now also with Mr. Tongxi and Xu female crown laughing and joking, how to guess is not to be an ordinary origin, but then again, if it is really extraordinary family, and how would it be with the poor man in the spring pool together? The son, this side of the Jiangnan Road is qualified to call this name is also more than a pair of hands, but I have not heard of any son like to wear a sword ah.

From Northern Liang? Is it from the barbaric Northern Liang or return from traveling?

The woman who took the lead on the little beggar only felt a light in front of her eyes, too late to think deeply, sighed a good handsome gentleman, looks really good, if not rude knife, but swinging a fan or a stag would be better. She secretly let go of her hand to throw away the stone in her hand, winks at the strange face of this dashing walk “son”, is about to lightly bend a small waist to give a million blessings salute, Xu Fengyen is a little bored, it seems that most of these guys did not understand their own words, did not associate themselves with that dragged to death Liu Liting’s Beiliang devil, otherwise this woman where there is still the courage to throw a wink here, Jiangnan Road. Here to throw winks, Jiangnan Road and only he can call himself the son of the North Liang is different, the son of the world is not so valuable, the first son of the eldest son of the big portal said to be the son of the world, no one will be chasing after the fight, in the North Liang dare to do so, back in the day has long been Xu Fengyen with evil slaves and dogs to the door “visit”.

Xu Fengnian smiled and slowly drew his knife, and was about to commit murder, throwing pots is very elegant, right, these heads of this son does not care to receive, the arm received, Jiangnan Road is not very good at cursing it, leave your mouth to curse well.

Xu Fengyen this subtle action seems to be poor scholar noticed, lightly exclaimed: “not.”

Xu Fengyen turned his head eyes inquiring, the poor scholar skimmed his head, signaling that behind him stood a little girl who had no one to turn to in Yangchun City, quick to take revenge at the moment, how could the little beggar child withstand retaliation afterward? Xu Fengnian frowned, his thumb always pressed on the hilt of the embroidered winter sword. That group of hindsight anointed children finally came back to their senses, winks the woman scared back a few steps, if there is not by the subordinates fawning look strange triangular-eyed male assistance, almost to fall into the spring, a word of exchange to pull out the knife, this is how insolent barbarians will do stupid things!

The son of the world, the son of the world, my ass!

He must be a small-town general, Nga-nei. Nga Nei is the Jiangnan Road to the descendants of the generals of the official children of the special name, the barracks to animal teeth for decoration, the camp door is also known as the teeth door, so Nga Nei said, very ironic image, quickly spread, but in the Jiangnan Road, even the big Nga Nei are extremely unhappy with the statement, the general seed is originally the scholars to give a derogatory name, Nga Nei can be good to where. Unless there is a feudal lord stationed in those border towns, the military power of the civil officials bowed down, yannei only have the money to be conceited.

The family has a spectrum of goods, official rich children naturally also have a three, six, nine, etc. arrangement, and do not go to say that the power and wealth of the capital as much as hair, in the local area, the first son of a powerful warlord, as well as the assassins of the third grade and the governor of the case of the son, of course, is the first class of the son of the brother, followed by the children and grandchildren of the county magistrate, coupled with the general offspring of the clan, again, it is the scholarly family and the general power of officials of the son, and then finally the turn of the service door to the door of the son of the mandarin door, the father rank is the most important considerations, family learning, the family is a good example. The father’s rank is the most important consideration, the family of learned scholarly scholar although uncrowned but better than ordinary officials, from this kind of family, is not the service door of the mandarins can be easily comparable.

If you add the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital city, it is even more complicated, those of the Palace Court Bachelor, six ministers, several generals, deep-rooted centuries-old family, here and then divided into the position of the powerful ministers and and retired meritorious, and then a hidden noble to the extreme of the relatives of the children, one by one, a prominent circle of intertwined, who can not be clear? But aside from the capital, there is one thing that everyone knows, in the local, in the six feudal kings, especially the dynasty’s only king of a different name in front of, whoever you are good, have to be honest, is a snake on the coils is a tiger on the ground, Huainan King Zhao Ying is considered to be the most undisputed of the feudal kings, but Huainan King’s son, who dares to underestimate?

Therefore, the so-called son from Northern Liang, even if the recent Yangchun City is full of rumors of the tyrannical behavior of the Prince of Northern Liang, even if the real stood in front of the eyes, still no one will be envisioned in this direction, it is really too much prestige and supremacy.

Xu Fengyin skimmed his lips, embroidered winter quietly returned to the sheath, some nostalgia for the past in the north of the Liang domineering time, the left Prime Cang right pull yellow, behind the evil slaves, certainly not on the stage, but think of it really painful, then did not practice knife, flower show are not served, but every time the dust settles and then roll up the sleeves to a set of life-saving eighteen legs and so on, or is very relieved. The gang of playboys is probably a little afraid of this kind of Yamen’s waist double knife, no swollen face, have dispersed, scattered in the distance and then gathered, exchanging words, identified this foreigner son is not know what is the gift of the abomination of Yamen. Xu Fengyen lazy, or be tossed into the water dog Jing’an Wang son Zhao Xun will have to complain, there is no reason to put him with these ants general servant children and grandchildren on a level well.

Xu Fengyen jumped into the pool, bypassing the poor scholar, reached out to pick up the little beggar, a probe in her chest, His Highness the son of several trials and tribulations, a long time to become a doctor to the Wudang Da Huangting for the little girl to slowly dissolve the bruises and blood, the little beggar did not dare to move, timidly stood, fortunately, the face is no longer miserable, Xu Fengyen saw the little girl apprehensive, do not dare to look at him in the eye, also do not know how to comfort, just to the poor scholar, said: “It’s okay.”

The poor scholar was relieved, hesitating in the end or did not utter a word of thanks. Princess Jing’an saw His Highness the World Prince push up his sleeves, picking up a handful of two dozen copper coins that the incense burners had wished for, handing them to the little beggar, she did not take over her hand, looking towards the scholar with a panicked expression, seeing brother Zhang nodding his head, only then did he stretch out his yellowed hands that were extraordinarily filled with frostbite after years of perennial frostbite. Xu Fengyen said, “Then listen to the defense of Wang Ba, bring her along.”

Then His Highness the son picked up two halves of watermelon, and handed them over to Princess Jing’an after disembarking without any explanation, “You take it.”

Princess Pei’s face turned blue, half a watermelon in one hand, what a scandal. But in the end, she didn’t have the courage to disobey this murderous bastard. In the end, not everyone in the world is qualified to fight with King Jing’an Zhao Heng, and even rarer is the person who can make a powerful feudal king return without success after careful layout. The poor scholar helped the little beggar to hide the coins, and then hold her hand together to walk into the temple, such behavior is not the rules, but not so, God knows, once turned around, those playboys will not be on the side of the child head of fire, as for her to seek a not too small amulet good. I only hope that those powerful children of Yangchun City will be smarter. Poor scholar stepped over the threshold of the big temple, saw the front “Xu Dian box” a brocade silk robe wet, smiled, some incredible, Xu Fengyen seems to guess the mind, leading the way without turning his head, joked: “Do not think that I’m a good thing, those who bullied this child, I bullied them, all are All the way goods.”

The poor scholar was dumbfounded when he heard this extremely derisive statement.

Princess Pei, who had a belly full of infinite grievances, thought deeply.

Newspaper State Temple was filled with people, excluding the hundred or so famous scholars who could participate in the Qu Shui talk about Wang Ba, there were three to four hundred bystanders, and the platforms and pavilions were clustered with people’s heads. Xu Fengyen went straight, picked a relatively free corner, took the embroidered winter knife sheath knocked two relatively light reputation Confucian, signaling them to move a little bit, give the seat out, can be seated Confucian, are not simple, the king of the debate is to the hearty battle at the juncture, the cold was disturbed, the two Jiangnan Road, a long time famous Confucian just want to reprimand, I saw that this do not know where to come out of the barbarians with the sheath of the knife to do a wipe the neck gesture, scared! They had to reluctantly squeeze with the nearby famous scholar on a seat, Xu Fengyen entered the seat with a big grin, beckoned the poor scholar to sit down with him, the latter was not polite, sat down in a trance, as if he had mixed feelings. Xu Fengyen looked up, quite far away from a place, a stag in the middle-aged celebrity stood generous speech, slender figure, three wisps of beard especially flowing, called a beautiful bearded man, almost every sentence, are to attract a full applause, staccato, extremely infectious, each clever pause obviously gave the audience applause gap, obviously a talk experienced celebrity, Xu Fengyen on the defense of the king of not curious more Not good at, listen in the ear naturally not much feeling, on the contrary, the poor scholar sitting on his knees, closed his eyes, murmured: “righteousness, Wang Ba, the sages of the past dynasty failed to understand their sayings, this dynasty united rivers and mountains, first of all, the two priests of Shangyin Palace to analyze heavenly reasoning and human desires, and then there are three schools of Yao Lu Zhu, and then only the water falls out of the stone, so that my generation of readers do not fall into the clouds. Yuan Hongbao to mellow Confucian self-esteem, respect for the king and the hegemony, depreciate the righteousness and profit dual-action king and hegemony, think this kind of merit mentality, will only destroy the foundation of Confucianism, and ultimately abandon the king’s way and respect the hegemony, and then degenerate into the hegemony of the Legalist.”

Xu Fengyen, layman to layman, was still able to listen to a generalization, turned his head and asked, “Right now this one is theorizing the way of the king with the theory of heaven and believes that the king and hegemony are very different?”

The poor scholar opened his eyes and nodded, lamenting, “Yuan Hongguang has always insisted that the prehistoric pomp is the pomp of the king’s way, and the pomp of today’s dynasty is only the decline of the hegemony, believing that the world is overloaded with matters of merit, and that this wind must not be risen or else a great difficulty will descend.”

Xu Fengnian laughed: “This kind of speech, not afraid of the thunderous wrath from the capital side?”

The poor scholar shook his head and said, “This statement does not say right or wrong, is indeed from the bottom of my heart, not to mention whether the court mind, how can the readers be silenced? Although I more respect the work to the place is moral, things to the place, is the reason of heaven. But also admire Yuan Hongguang’s knowledge and foresight, although he hated unrestrained self-interest, but the benefit of the people’s hearts to help the people, not a rejection. But as he said, even if a retreat again and again, recognizing that the king can not be separated, but five hundred years later, there may not really be a Confucian, into the profit-oriented path, only the remaining fly to the utilitarian, so Yuan Hongguo has been in the Litao Pavilion, nearly drunk, calling my generation when the cry five hundred years later. I can’t see those empty talkers’ emanation bare chest, only to Yuan Hongguo this drunkenness a cry, deeply have a feeling of solidarity.”

Xu Fengyen did not think: “You readers worry about the country and the people, but there are a few do a lifetime of moral saints, can ever really touch the copper money? Knowing that a steamed bun has to cost a few cents?”

The poor scholar smiled and said, “The great scholar Yuan Hongguan may not know, but I know it well.”

This time it was Xu Fenian’s turn to be dumbfounded.

The two of them were so focused on small talk that they didn’t notice the flowing goblet, and the wine was already slowing down in front of their eyes. The beautiful maidservant who followed the wine came slowly and picked up the white jade wine cup. For a time, this corner became a target, under the eyes of all, the next seat on the countless times to participate in the Qingtian event have not been able to raise their glasses a few times of the old masters wide-eyed, by His Highness the son of the two Confucians to drive away with a knife is full of jealousy, itching to bend down to grab the wine cup, to know that today’s king of the debate, exceptionally unusual, Yuan Jiangyan and Yin Daolin two premier celebrities listed among them, to be able to speak their ideas in front of the two Qingtan The two great leaders in front of the two talk about their own ideas, can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in addition to the two great scholars of the world, but also with the status of Yao Baifeng side by side with the science of Cheng Jia was present to listen to the old man, but with the letters of Yao everyone to exchange the sages of science, which time the content of the letters are not being circulated by the world? Cheng Zi said that he was slow and stupid, and that he was only interested in literature and meaning all his life, so he satirized Yao Dazhong’s interpretation of the scriptures, and asked who in the world would not smile at this. Although Yao wrote back to the letter since add a word shall not delete a word can not descendants why interpretation of the scriptures, but also very hidden mystery, but Jiangnan Road is obviously closer to the Cheng Zi doctrine, insisted that even if Yao’s learning is higher, but the Cheng Zi to be a little higher morality.

Today, the Qu Shui Liu Goblet Discussion of Wang Ba, gathered three contemporary saints of Confucianism and Buddhism, Yangchun City attracted more than a few hundred admirers to come to the readers? Only that Cheng Zi has been in the book to do learning, do not like to deal with people, and even many of the local scholars for decades, I’m afraid that is to come to the front are not recognized.

The beauty of the maidservant came with wine, the original bored Xu Fengyen stared, he was in the line of swearing, His Highness traveled for three years, learned a lot of swearing without swearing mastery, but unfortunately, with the people of the deadpan reasoning, genuinely layman, so did not get up, take the sheath of the knife to the top of the side of the poor scholar.

Xu Fengyen saw that the poor scholar did not shy away from the scene, and got up, took the glass and drank it, exchanged the glass to the beautiful and petite servant girl, and then said aloud: “If you can be the world, righteousness will be favorable. If you can help the people, the road will be meritorious, and thus the hegemony is solidly based on the king!”

Newspaper State Temple was an uproar.

Probably some similar “this son of claptrap” “vertical son of empty talk” cold words of ridicule, anger. Far away from the same seat with the first JiangZuo YuanJiangYan and immovable monk YinDaoLin look at each other a smile, apparently did not move, only think more a matter of small children just. But the next sentence “twenty-five years of ups and downs, began to realize that the world of scholarly Confucianism thought to get the right heart and sincerity, are insensitive and do not know the generation of numbness”, so that the heart of contempt of the two great masters dumbfounded, this son really is not shocking death ah. Did not participate in the debate of a hunchbacked old man had been shaking his head, only to hear this sentence, self-concerned haha laugh. The next arrogant scholar’s words were even more absurd, pointing the finger at Yuan Hongguan, the number one scholar in Jiangzuo, “If you do not care about profit, what is the benefit of crying 500 years later? The people do not have a full stomach, and with whom to cry?”

Bearded man Yuan Jiangyan not angry, not like pretense of generosity, but really laughed. Just his seat, far away from the crowd, can not see the subtle changes of the first JiangZuo.

Yin Daolin, the presiding officer of the Newspaper Temple, said softly, “A strange argument is a strange argument, but it’s also interesting, it depends on whether he has the real talent to argue next.”

Yuan Jiangyan nodded.

The result was unexpected, the entire people reported that almost no one in the temple recognized the poor scholar of the cold family to talk about Wang Ba will talk about half an hour, meticulous, this is the opposite of the usual talk about the practice of the celebrities cherish the word as gold, the general talk about Xuan, since it is Xuan, of course, Xuan and Xuan, only seek to let a person confused, that’s the real skill, listen to the understanding of is the door is the release of the head of the baton, don’t understand, who cares about you? If we are to be logical and meticulous in our talk, wouldn’t it be boring? Words do not mean, off-topic, only interesting, white horse is not a horse is not the realm, white horse is a deer is the realm. More than one hundred of the celebrities present, plus hundreds of listeners, the determination of the very good, still barely listening to the uneducated guy croaking there, the determination of the very good, then began to chat with the acquaintances around some things that can refresh the mind, the determination of the poor, have long been too eager to break the mouth, yawning, if it is the winter, surely to set off the fur and lice, this is not impolite, it is the celebrities flow of the wise man style!

Xu Fengyen narrowed his eyes, knee stacked double knife, resting on his cheeks to raise his head, and the poor scholar’s monumental stance was jaw-droppingly scared of the clean-cut servant girl “flirting”, laughing and saying: “Sister, a reward cup of wine to drink.”

Born very poor and lovely servant girl carrying a pot of wine three wine cups, has long been arm numbness, was this dengdouzi flirting, puffed up cheeks glared at.

Xu Fengyen was not discouraged, “Sister tired, sit down and rest for a while? Do you want me to help you carry it?”

She took advantage of the lack of attention and glared again.

This male is quite decent looking, why is he so loose!

Xu Fengyen smiled brightly and asked, “Where is your sister from, where does your family live, and how old are you?”

Princess Jing’an hated to dig a hole in the ground to bury this son of His Highness, so as not to embarrass herself in public.

Fortunately, no one attention to pay attention to this is with the maidservant eyebrow to eye of the son, because has been a small ten years have not been openly debating with people Yuan Jiangyan unprecedented voice, Yuan Hongkwan talent champion Jiangzuo, a little trace back to the origin of the book can be seen with the king of the king of the book and use of the Shangyin Palace of Science and last name of the king of the Jixiang Mr. is the same root even gas, that year this Mr. Jixiang as long as the three debates to win two, will be able to serve as a great priest of the Palace of Science and just win first! The name of the real debate and then lost the heaven and man debate, the last game should be the king of the debate, but Mr. Wang Jixiang surprisingly gave up, but the world knows that this Mr. is respected both the king and the hegemony, Yuan Jiangyan asked in a deep voice: “Beiliang Yao study is only involved in Zen, but you said utilitarianism, learning Zen later on, upward pursuit, there is no way to feel, will be left, lost and know the way back. If it is utilitarian, scholars practice, immediate results, a moment of success, see the benefits and forget the righteousness, how to live in future generations? My generation of readers and the people laugh at a time, but the future generation cried a hundred years a thousand years, this will be you are the king of the bully?”

Bigger clamor!

Yuan Hongbao said this, clearly has been close to the high monk Yin Daolin of the Scholarship Sect are wrapped up in it, can see that the first famous scholar of Jiangzuo really pay attention to that everyone thought it was a credulous scholar, all the people are the spirit of a shock, began to sit up straight.

When Xu Fengnian accosted the beautiful maidservant carrying the wine, he glimpsed his elder sister Xu Lihu making a threatening gesture of knocking chestnuts in a yellow glazed tiled pavilion high above, rolled his eyes, and was about to say a few more words to the maidservant, when he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar staggering towards the pavilion, and the old Sword God blocking the pavilion steps, with his sword intent bursting out.

That kind of posture as if he was facing a great enemy had never appeared even when Reed Dang faced Wu Liu Ding, who was in the body of the Vegetarian King!

His Highness the World Prince rose violently.

His figure swept and swept. It weaved through the crowd like a swimming fish.

Xu Fengyen approached the pavilion, only to see that the green-shirted Confucian was twenty steps from the pavilion, both sleeves crossed and waved, as if to dust off the dust to show great respect, and then knelt down with a bang!

This Confucian tears.

Word by word through clenched teeth.

The sound was not loud, but it exploded in Xu Fengnian’s ears.

“Western Chu sinner Cao Changqing, see Your Highness the Princess!”
