Although Mr. Cheng Wu had expected this outcome, his hands were still trembling and he couldn't contain his excitement: "Master Qin knows something inside. What did Cen'er say to you that day?"

"She confessed that she was willing to enter the East Palace when she became the empress. She went there because of the former crown prince's status as the heir apparent. She thought that sooner or later she would be able to enter the Kunning Palace and become the master of the harem. However, the former crown prince thought that she was only using her and had no true feelings, so she

I want to pamper my concubine and destroy my wife."

"She knew that even if the former prince became the emperor, he would not be able to make her the queen...she planned to escape." Qin Feng looked at Mr. Cheng's face and knew that he knew about this, and there was not much fluctuation in his eyes.

emotions.

"The reason why she is willing to give Marquis Zhenbei a second string this time is because of that position. She is just putting her chips on Marquis Zhenbei. If Marquis Zhenbei succeeds in his rebellion, she can also take that position as she wishes. In fact, this junior thinks that

There is nothing wrong with being ambitious.”

"Life is just a bet. If she wins the bet and gets her wish, she is the winner. If she loses, she is the traitor."

When had Mr. Cheng Wu heard these shocking words? He opened his eyes wide and looked at him in shock: "You don't think you are wrong?"

"In the past, this junior and His Highness have analyzed what the county lord did. Everything was done by ambition. There is no one in this world who does not plan for himself. But in my opinion, as descendants of the Cheng family, if you are involved in ambition, you have to pay.

Extremely high price.”

"Rather than becoming the middle palace, perhaps inheriting your mantle is a better choice. Unfortunately, everyone has his own ambitions. After all, he is responsible for his own life. The county master finally followed his own heart and regained his original ambition. For her

As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

"She just ignored the reputation of the Cheng family and the students of Hengshan Academy. From this point of view, her selfishness is greater than her kindness and filial piety. From this point of view, she is wrong. Then you

What? What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Wu couldn't figure out what Qin Feng was going to say for a while, but his eyes were not as cloudy as before. He only heard Qin Feng say: "You may have the responsibility of teaching unfavorable things, but hidden under this side is the desire for the younger generation."

of kindness.”

"You also made the right choice at the critical moment, severing the blood relationship to preserve the reputation of the Cheng family and Hengshan Academy. Perhaps you were sorry for the county owner, but you also showed consideration for her. In the eyes of the younger generation, from your standpoint

You have done your best."

When Mr. Cheng Wu heard this, the depression in his chest seemed to dissipate, and the heavy depression that had been weighing on his heart disappeared.

Qin Feng said sincerely: "In East Vietnam, personal choices often involve the whole clan, and the interests of the individual and the family are entangled, but the younger generation believes that the value of the individual is more worthy of attention and treasure. The gentleman has the intention to seek death, and the younger generation will never agree.

.”

"Only when the green mountains are left can we have firewood to burn. Imagine dying to protect your reputation. If your reputation is still damaged after death, wouldn't it be a life in vain? If a person is alive, he can still fight for his reputation.

There is still a chance of reversal.”

"Sir, please never make fun of your own life again. Even if you reach a dead end, maybe there is another pure land?"

Only then did Mr. Cheng Wu know why Qin Feng came. He had really thought of committing suicide!

Now that he thought about it, if he had died, all he would have left behind was a pile of chicken feathers, not to mention that there were so many masters and students, as well as people from the same clan and his own son. He couldn't help but sigh: "This world is so bad."

It’s so difficult for me.”

Qin Feng looked at the literary greats in front of him who lamented the Spring and Autumn Period, but what he thought of was another literati - Fang Xiaoru.

When I think of this real figure in history, Qin Feng feels like a lump in my throat. I think that after the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty, and the Yan king Zhu Di who was stationed in Peiping launched the Jingnan Campaign in the name of the Qing emperor.

At that time, the imperial edict against King Yan was written by the most famous Confucian scholar in the world - Hanlin scholar Fang Xiaoru.

When the King of Yan conquered the capital, many people defected to the King of Yan, but Fang Xiaoru refused to surrender. However, this man had a very high reputation among the people, so the King of Yan wanted to take advantage of him and asked him to write an edict for the new emperor's accession to the throne.

, in order to convince the scholars all over the world.

He had originally written a crusade document, but now how could he be a mere wallflower and write an edict for the new emperor's accession to the throne? The integrity of a scholar made him unwilling to do such a thing and would rather die than obey.

The King of Yan was also a ruthless character and asked him if he wanted to kill the Nine Clan. Unexpectedly, he said that it would not matter if he killed the Ten Clan. This finally angered the King of Yan. Not only did the Nine Clan be killed, but also his disciples and friends were also killed.

Killing, truly killing the ten tribes.

A total of 873 people were killed because of his execution that year, and he himself was even beheaded in half.

Qin Feng recalled this period of history and unknowingly overlapped this person with the old Mr. Cheng Wu in front of him. His chest was sore and swollen: "Sir, are you willing to listen to this junior? Life is never a bargaining chip to prove honor.

, if a person dies, everything will be lost.”

"But the lintel of the family is equally important. I have to be responsible for my clan and my students." Cheng Wu sighed: "Everyone in the world knows that I am a model for scholars. They are praised for their talents and learning, and their character is praised."

"Your character belongs to you alone, not to your clan," Qin Feng retorted: "What the county leader does cannot be regarded as your doing. How can you still sit together if you have character? Sir, you are full of talent and learning. Don't stick to these stereotypes."

, don’t waste your life.”

What Mr. Cheng Wu always believed in suddenly became self-harming to Qin Feng. He couldn't accept it for a while. In the past, he had long conversations with Qin Feng all night long and knew that he was knowledgeable, but his outlook on life and values ​​were not involved.

Now the two people's thoughts collided together. There was no spark, but Mr. Cheng was frightened!

Mr. Cheng Wu didn't say anything. He just thought about Qin Feng getting rid of the Taifu Mansion and setting up his own family. In addition, he didn't have much contact with the Qin family later. He obviously didn't care about the Menmei family and lived the life he wanted.

.

Such words coming from his mouth were actually completely in line with his style, but for him it was too shocking. How could a person live so wantonly in this world? However, Mr. Cheng Wu also felt a little envious.

Qin Feng knew that it was difficult for a literary giant who grew up in this dynasty to get rid of his existing ideas. He didn't want to make this old gentleman abandon the traditional world with these few words. He just came to visit sincerely and then talked by the way.

A hole.

The more shocking the other person is, the harder it will be to leave him alone. It would be great if it can create a reverberation in the old man's mind.
