Under the storm, there is always some elusive silence in the palaces of princes and ministers in the imperial city, and among the ministers. The quieter it is, the greater the crisis. On the contrary, looking outside the imperial city, it is calm.

Naturally, there is no chilling atmosphere at all.

Emperor Yongning came back to his senses and looked at the chessboard on the table.

I can't sleep all night tonight.

All the power in the world is controlled by one city. Ever since His Majesty issued the decree to kill Qin Tian Jian Zheng, if ordinary officials have real power but are restricted everywhere, if the old officials come to see it, they will naturally not see any problems. After all,

They absolutely believe that these are just a group of weak scholars who are looking at the stars, but they dare to go against the teachings of Huang Lao. How could your Majesty go against the teachings of the saints for a group of scholars who are looking at the stars? Isn't it ridiculous?

Furthermore, your Majesty is such a person, and Huang Lao's theory is thousands of years of scholarship. An old man who has only been around for a few years wants to subvert it, which is of no benefit to the world or your Majesty. What's more, Cui Dan has always been against you, even if your Majesty ignores it.

Everyone in the world must also take care of this powerful official Cui Dan who can overthrow the dynasty!

However, people who are under one person at the top and above ten thousand people will not feel this way. They are in the center of the vortex of power and under the storm. Their sense of smell is sensitive and often stronger than that of ordinary people. This is not a joke.

This is all earned through sacrifice of life time and time again, and one step will be lost if one is not careful.

At this time, Wang Shouren was in the residence of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet. This man could be considered a veteran, but Confucianism had always been the most important learning in his mind. Naturally, the dignified Chief Minister of the Cabinet lived and ate simply, and was even given the title of Caotang.

In the thatched cottage, a little star lamp was still burning.

Wang Shouren still lives a simple life, that is to say, Wang Shouren is also a Confucian, he is even a famous Confucian, and his teacher is a Confucian temple, and he is still better than others in the world today. When he was alive, he was

At that time, Wang Shouren had not been exposed to power struggles in the court, but he seemed to be a good student and Confucian scholar who inherited the teacher's mentality.

Moreover, his knowledge is quite a bit like learning from the blue and surpassing the blue. Building a decisive high-rise building on the foundation of his teacher was what he had in mind at the time, but his state of mind was already that of a great Confucian.

The knowledge is even more comprehensive, and it is even possible to enter the altar of Confucianism. It is a peerless glory. When gathered in one person, it is so prominent that it is rare in the world.

There are also many people who call it the literary boldness of the world and the literary music of the heaven.

There are even people who often say: "Shou Ren is tolerant, trustworthy and quick to be kind. If you are respectful, you will not insult others. If you are tolerant, you will win people. If you are trustworthy, you will be trusted. If you are smart, you will be successful. If you are kind, you will be able to win over others."

The current limelight is even comparable to that of Mr. Lianxi back then. It can be said that he is in the limelight and has a bright future.

It was precisely at that time that Mr. Lianxi seized military and political power in one fell swoop. The literati all over the world rushed to rebuke him and even sent many blood letters to the imperial capital. It can be seen that the character of the literati at that time was nothing but nothing. Even these immortals

It can be said that the emperor was not even seen, and even within ten miles of the imperial capital, he was burned to ashes.

But it is Mr. Lianxi who has clearly seen the way of nature. Among these so-called literati, I don’t know how many people are scolding him for the limelight or the so-called reputation. After all, how many people really have that kind of literati character?

I personally went to the capital to see His Majesty. Although Mr. Lianxi, a veteran official at that time, would not let them get close to the imperial capital, he would definitely admire them and naturally would not treat them badly. Scholars still have time.

Stronger than a martial artist.

At that time, Wang Shouren did not have any impassioned 10,000-word bloody letters or any red tape, nor did he curse with a single curse word, nor did he engage in any formalism. For example, several major literary circles gathered together to angrily denounce Mr. Lianxi and listed ten In the end, the big crime was nothing more than the intervention of a few big families, so these things could not be settled.

At that time, Wang Shouren was also extremely disdainful. He did not disdain to go against these literati, nor did he disdain to drink with these literati. He even resented these so-called honest and courageous ministers.

At that time, many people invited Wang Shouren to Jiangxi literary circles to scold Mr. Lianxi for his crime of not abiding by his ministers' principles. At that time, Wang Shouren still thought differently from other people, but what he thought, no matter what Morality, power and merit!

It goes without saying that swearing at others will not cause any substantial harm in the end. Wang Shouren would not do this, and naturally he would not admire Mr. Lianxi.

That night, Wang Shouren suddenly had an epiphany.

When one achieves success, one has virtue; when one achieves success, one has virtue.

Reason... where the benefit lies, how can it be lost!...

How could Yu establish the six prefectures if he had no merit? How could he establish the four prefectures if his work was unprofitable?

Germany?

At that moment, Chen Shouren became an enemy of Confucianism.

Confucianism pays attention to righteousness, etiquette, and etiquette. The more lofty a saint is, the more restrained he is. Sometimes he still has to pay attention to some extremely complicated etiquette. His rationality is naturally good, but sometimes he will not establish a more efficient and faster system. The system has even given rise to a lot of cynicism at times.

Wang Shouren was naturally a little confused back then. After all, he had studied Confucianism for more than ten years, and it was said that justice and benefit were the first principles of Confucianism.

After that, Wang Shouren spent all his money, traveled around the world, and even dismissed his family's farm and house. Many relatives scolded him for being an unjust and unfilial person, and the scoldings became louder in the future. Universe.

However, Wang Shouren has never been affected by this, and he even has a heart of compassion. He has compassion for the people in the world, and he never thinks that he has done anything wrong. He has a state of mind in which the whole world is intoxicated but he is sober, which is rare in the world.

At that time when everyone in the world was an enemy, Wang Shouren naturally met his noble person, who was also the person who made him embark on the political strategy of the court.

Just an old man in coir raincoat.

Originally, Wang Shouren would not have entered this place. He was an old man living deep in the mountains and forests who had never studied or come into contact with Confucianism.

However, this person completely changed Wang Shouren's life.

The old man has a lot of research on fishing, and it can be said that he loves it. He goes fishing in the nearby river all year round.

Wang Shouren was naturally happy to chat with this old gentleman. He was quite curious about fishing, so he naturally followed him.

The old gentleman has been fishing nearby all year round, so naturally he knows a lot of people. Sometimes he even knows the officials who come here to fish. He can even figure out when the fishing is best and when there are the most fish. , at least when floods will occur, is not completely clear, but it can be regarded as quite researched, and four or five out of ten are true.

As for fishing, the old man also had a lot to say.

"The deeper the river bed, the calmer the water surface. Sometimes it looks calm, but in fact it is undercurrent. Sometimes it looks rough, but in fact it is calm."
