The Master of the Kingdom

Su Yi naturally didn't know anything about Sima Hu's sentiment in the last chapter.

The thinking in these people's heads is too complicated for Su Yi to understand.

Others don’t reply because they are neither familiar with nor how to reply; Simahu’s letter was forwarded to Mu Yan because Su Yi was a friend of Simahu, and his friend was at a low point. It was unkind for him not to reply, but he did not. If you know how to return, let's leave it to a professional.

However, misunderstandings should be misunderstood. Anyway, it will do no harm to Simahu.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, luxury prevailed. Basically, people like Sima Hu who are "seeking hard work" can't be seen anymore. So when Sima Hu first did this, some people thought that he was being suppressed too much, some thought that he was mentally ill, and some thought that he was sensational.

However, when Simahu was admitted to the Jinshi, and after rising step by step, the current "seeking hard work" has become a good talk, and it has become one of the typical cases of Confucian "self-cultivation".

Su Yi himself is a person who likes ease, but he admires Simahu's current choice very much. He also mentioned this in his letter to Mu Yan.

Su Yi was very optimistic about Sima Hu. He felt that Sima Hu was "putting the dead and reborn", "knowing shame and then being brave". If you can withstand this pressure, it will be like a polished gem, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

Mu Yan was jealous.

Okay, Sima Hu is awesome. What about him? Isn't he as good as Sima Hu?

Mu Yan thought, should I also go to the imperial examination? He wants to prove that he is better than Sima Hu.

After reading Su Yi's letter, the emperor broke his mind to learn about the "Boy Boy" who was defeated and "pushed" in the family's internal struggle.

The emperor also thought this man was good.

Simahu was born in a family with talents and connections; if he doesn't agree with his family, there is no need to worry about growing the Sima family's power after reuse; he can endure hardships, endure, and has a good temperament.

If he can enter the palace exam, and the article is good, he doesn't mind giving Simahu a top spot.

There are aristocratic children in the first one, just to calm the family's heart.

Then Mu Yan tentatively asked if he wanted to go to the imperial examination. When the letter came, the emperor's forehead was bruised.

What is Haqing doing? Not convinced? What's so unconvincing about this?

While sending this letter to Su Yi, the emperor also gave Mu Yan a letter, telling Mu Yan to "work hard, don't think about it."

Even Mu Yan had to concentrate on studying to prepare for the imperial examination. Human time is limited. The emperor has a lot of work to be done by Mu Yan, so how can he have time to read to him?

What's more, the scientific examination is nothing more than an official career. Mu Yan has already walked very smoothly in his official career, so why bother?

Mu Yan knew that the emperor had secretly opened the letter between him and Su Yi, but he did not expect that the emperor would write to him about this matter.

Soon after, Su Yi's letter also arrived. Like the emperor, Su Yi asked him not to be okay.

The direction of Su Yi's persuasion was different from that of the emperor. The scientific examination is the way for scholars to enter the official career. Mu Yan, who is already a high official, should not rob someone for a place. In this way, how pitiful the people who are squeezed out by him are.

Looking at Su Yi's letter, Mu Yan's jealousy subsided a bit. The meaning of Su Yi's letter is to affirm that if Mu Yan participates in the scientific examination, he will definitely be able to get the title of the gold list.

Mu Yan replied, saying that he was just joking, and explained that he just wanted to compare with the scholars in the world.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. I was really afraid that Mu Yan would choose to go to school to prepare for the imperial examination. He knew Mu Yan and knew that Mu Yan's previous letter was serious.

Simahu's matter was just a trivial matter in the family of officials and officials in the capital. At most, it was taken out to laugh at it after a meal.

Of course, the young master of the family, who is rich in clothes and jade, has become a "wild and sordid person", which is of course something to be ridiculed at. What's more, before Sima Hu was exiled from the Sima family, he was a very famous noble son in Beijing.

Many people who are not as good as Sima Hu have already overflowed with gloating malice.

Although Sima Hu had been "exiled" before, he still had money and friends, and his life was not miserable, so the people who fell into trouble were only a little bit ironic, not too much.

But Simahu is like this now. People who don't know don't know that Simahu is "seeking hardship", thinking that Simahu has really fallen into the dust, and even comes to laugh at the small broken courtyard where Simahu lives. Some people who had been in contact immediately broke off friendship with Sima Hu.

Simahu slowly polished his heart in this kind of ridicule and neglect.

In the capital, the most talked-about event recently is that of the aristocratic family, and the prodigal king of the Wang family has actually entered the dynasty as an official.

Wang Zhen is very famous in the family.

He regards ethics and education as nothingness, indulges in vocal music every day, and is uninhibited with some celebrities who are unwilling to enter the DPRK as officials.

It was not that Wang Zhen had no official position. The emperor had even given him actual positions before. However, Wang Zhen is drunk every day, and if he doesn't go to court or work, he can only get rid of his actual job. In order to save the Wang family's face, the emperor gave Wang Zi a virtual rank and let him not take care of the salary of white-collar workers.

This time Wang Zi suddenly entered the court as an official, making people think that the Wang family was going to do something again.

But the Wang family's grandfather was ill, and the Wang family's faces were serious, and they didn't seem to be happy.

What happened afterwards was even less clear to the family in Beijing.

One day, someone saw Wang Bin limping out of the Wang family's home, and then coughed three beeps at the closed door of the Wang family.

What exactly is going on?

Wang Jin has a conflict with the Wang family?

But the Wang family's mouth is very strict, and no one knows what happened in the Wang family.

Su Yi didn't know. But one day, the old man of the Wang family actually visited the house in person.

Of course, the old man of the Wang family came to visit quietly after disguising, or Wang Boyuan brought him to the door, which frightened Su Yi very much.

Fortunately, Su Yi is now used to pretending to be forceful, so she didn't show a frightened expression on her face.

Wang Cheng's face looked much older than when Su Yi had seen it in Wang's house, as if he had suffered a great blow.

Wang Boyuan quietly exited the door, leaving only Su Yi and Wang Cheng in the house.

Su Yi felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, and he needed to do something to relieve his psychological pressure.

But Su Yi couldn't figure it out.

While Su Yi was thinking hard, Wang Cheng took the lead to speak.

"Master Su, are there any family guilds that will last forever?"

Su Yi, who was wandering, replied after thinking about it, "Kong Family."

Wang Chengdao: "Why is the Confucian family prosperous because of the saint Confucius?"

Su Yi said: "Because you respect Confucianism, because you don't admire power, because you have both sides."

Wang Cheng was stunned.

Only then did Su Yi come back to his senses, thinking, if it's awful, why did he say what was in his heart?

There are indeed many loyal and upright people in the Confucian family, but the Confucian family has not fallen for generations. In addition to the usefulness of Confucianism, the Confucian family has people who "know the current affairs" for generations.

Once the emperor and the courtier, when the dynasty was changed, there were always descendants of the Confucian family surrendered to the emperor, and then the emperor killed the descendants of the Confucian family who opposed him and banished them, and gave the orthodox hat to the Confucian family who supported him. Posterity.

It's still not visible in this era, but the history of Su Yi's world is obvious.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the three surnames of the Confucian family Yansheng Gong Yinzhi, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was the crown prince Taibao, the prince Taifu, the king is like a mountain; when Li Zicheng entered Shandong, he was enshrined in the dragon throne of the Emperor Yongchang of the Dashun Kingdom; Li Zicheng did not After a long time of defeat, the Qing army came, and he immediately offered the "Preliminary Form", saying that in the Qing Dynasty, "mountains and rivers and the sun and the moon are brilliant, and the country is in the same universe and forever." , Inheritance and succession of generations of grace, today celebrates the prosperous rule of the new dynasty, looks at the Chonglong of learning, and tends to be awkward and fearful of the queen", "respectfully set up an incense case, read the holy edict", and make the tribe people shave their hair.

At this time, "the body grows skin, the parents dare not to hurt, the beginning of filial piety", the Han people who have been taught by Confucian and Mencius thoughts for thousands of years fiercely resisted, "Jiading Three Tus" and "Yangzhou Ten Days", which is terrible. .

The ancestors of the saints were used as protective umbrellas, and the clansmen who knew the current affairs continued to emerge. Of course, the Confucian family could last forever.

Of course, Su Yi didn't mean to look down on the Kong family. Because every family has scum. It is rumored in later generations that the surname of Kong is four million. There are people in the Kong family who are "aware of current affairs", and there are also people who are "not aware of current affairs".

Some of these "unknowing about current affairs" Confucian family members fought to death, some were martyred, and some could not escape the world. It's just that in order to make the "Zun Kong" sign well, the emperor in each dynasty can always find one or two scum from the Kong family and label them "Sheng Gong".

During the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor provoked internal struggles within the Confucian family and supported the "Shenggong Yan" who returned to the Yuan Dynasty. Kong Zhu "let the jue", go wrong, the north and south Kong split.

If Confucius knows about future generations, he does not know whether it is happiness or sorrow.

But even though this hasn't happened yet, something similar has happened to the Kong family.

As the patriarch of a great family, as the master of the dynasty, Wang Cheng is certainly not a person who blindly respects Confucius. He respects the Confucian saint, not the entire Confucian family.

When the Confucian family became the emperor, the previous generation of the Confucian family leader was not willing to "submit." After some internal struggles within the Confucian family, the Confucian family leader of this generation is not the son of the previous generation patriarch. He led people to submit to the emperor of the dynasty.

As for the sons of the elders of the Kong family, God knows how they were treated.

The emperor doesn't care, and scholars in the world don't necessarily care.

Wang Cheng thought to himself, the Kong family is still like this, how about the Wang family?

The Wang family does not have the golden sign of Kong Shengren to protect itself, even if it can last forever, but what is the relationship between the later Wang family and his Wang Cheng? Maybe he was the enemy of Wang Cheng's descendants.

Just like the current Confucian family's direct line, and the Confucian family's direct line during the Han Dynasty.

"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Wang Cheng suddenly figured it out.

Among his sons, he is most worried about Wang Bin. Now Wang Zi is about to rise up. Even if he doesn't stand with the Wang family, as long as the Wang family doesn't go against the emperor, it is impossible for Wang Zi to harm his family.

And will the king's family be against the emperor? Not so stupid.

As for the grandson, I left it to my son to teach. He is old and doesn't want to worry so much.

"The Heavenly Master is really transparent." Wang Cheng sighed.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Su Yi, and turned around before Su Yi could react.

At this time, Wang Cheng seemed to have something missing, and it seemed that he had something too much. But at least, his spirit came back again.

Su Yi blinked.

Forget it, he is used to it.

The author has something to say: During the inheritance of the Duke of Yansheng, there have been many disasters of seizing the door and destroying the door. Moreover, things about Confucius' descendants cannot be blamed on Confucius. Who cares about his relatives? It's like the north and south kong split, but there are loyal people and scum in the north and south kong. Therefore, I think it is biased to criticize Confucius because the descendants of the Confucian family have scum. The orthodox of the Confucian family is also a matter within the Confucian family, and there is no need for others to be beaked. The Kong family recognized it by themselves.

Of course, it is also very deformed to kneel and lick the entire Kong family because of Kong Shengren.
