Hey! I’m so busy!
However, as long as there is time, the boat will try its best to update it!
Begging for all kinds of support!
~~~~~~~
Since ancient times, China has used ‘scholars’ to rule the world!
What is a ‘scholar’?
To put it more generally, that is all the scholars in the world!
To be more precise, they are all the famous scholars in the world!
If we were more accurate and hit the core, we would be the best among the scholars in the world, the one who passed the first grade in subjects and was named on the gold list!
As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together!'
The poor young man may still be in poverty today, but maybe tomorrow he will be named on the gold medal list, take charge of the power of the dynasty, and enter the scholar class!
Therefore, as a group of scholars, the seniors always like to support the juniors!
If you have nothing to do, do some learning, recruit a few students, express your love, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and pass on the knowledge of your ancestors to future generations from the perspective of your own mind and understanding!
This is the origin of many schools of thought among scholars!
And Lu Weiqi is undoubtedly the best among them!
He was born into a famous family in Heluo. His father was Lu Confucius, a famous Confucian scholar in Henan. When he was 26 years old, in the 41st year of Wanli, he became a Jinshi, was awarded the official title of Yanzhou, and was later promoted to the head of the Ministry of Personnel!
During the Tianqi period, when the "Nine Thousand Years Old" was at its peak, Lu Weiqi refused to be associated with him, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and established the Zhiquan Lectures to spread Neo-Confucianism!
In the first year of Chongzhen, he was reinstated as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. Due to the failure of the "suppression of bandits", he resigned and returned to his hometown of Luoyang, where he established the "Yiluo Society", recruited disciples, and wrote books!
He is a figure from the Central Plains, Mount Tai, and Beidou!
Even in the entire Ming Dynasty, his qualifications are probably not much worse than those of the senior ministers!
The most important thing is that Lu Weiqi is a role model and has many disciples. His influence in Heluo is simply difficult to increase!
In later generations, his rank was that of the former deputy minister of defense. After retiring, he concurrently served as the president of Henan University!
For such a person, not to mention that Liu Ruyi was just the Duke of the country at this time, even if it was the Emperor Chongzhen, if he had anything to discuss with him, he would still have to ask for it and give him gentle advice!
At this time, seeing the smile on Lu Weiqi's face, Liu Ruyi felt confident in her heart. She hurriedly raised her hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Mr. Yuan Ming is too modest! Although his teacher, Mr. Yuan Ming, has been traveling around the world in the past few years.
, but before this expedition, Ruyi also specifically told Ruyi that no matter what happens in this battle, the safety of the old man must be ensured! Ruyi is busy with military affairs and has been worried about this. At this time, it would be nice for Ruyi to see the old man.
The master explained it!"
Lu Weiqi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Yuan Ming is interested! The Duke is also interested! Haha! I am just a bad old man, but I don't deserve you to take it so seriously! But, having said that, today, the Colored Stone Army and the Refugee Army
In this duel, the military tactics of the Duke of Qi and the bravery of the officers and men of the Colorful Stone Army really opened my eyes! This battle of the Duke of Qi has relieved the danger of millions of people in the entire Central Plains! I want to represent you on behalf of the people.
My dear fellows in my hometown, I would like to express my gratitude to Duke Qi for his great kindness!"
After Lu Weiqi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Liu Ruyi!
How could Liu Ruyi dare to accept the gift from the old man? She hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him up, "Old sir, you can't do this! If you continue to be so polite and the tutor finds out, the student will definitely be punished!"
Liu Ruyi pretended to be embarrassed and showed a bitter face to Lu Weiqi!
Lu Weiqi laughed loudly, and several young disciples on the side also laughed. They really didn't expect that the powerful Qi Guogong would be so respectful and talkative! They all looked at Liu Ruyi's eyes and began to
Gets excited!
'Learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!'
Although the disciples of Lu Weiqi are all very talented and knowledgeable, in today's world, the world is in chaos, and Tatar soldiers have to surround the capital several times from time to time. The original imperial examination has also been greatly affected by it!
But in the current situation, even if you can be named on the gold list, it is difficult to have a real lack of talent!
Even if there is, can you stay in the Central Plains, Huguang, and Liaodong? How is being an official in such a place different from risking death?
Although these people have read the books of sages, they accept the ideals of Neo-Confucianism. No one is stupid. Who would go to such a place to die?
At present, the only real losers in the Ming Dynasty, apart from Jiangnan, are Shandong under the protection of the Caishi Army!
Due to the rise of Liu Ruyi in recent years, the imperial court's transfer orders in Shandong have almost become a piece of paper. If the civil and military officers from all over Shandong want to survive, they must have Liu Ruyi's personal nod!
Today, after the battle that defeated the refugee army, these people have a deeper and clearer understanding of the combat power of the Caishi Army and Liu Ruyi's strength!
It is natural for human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
Liu Ruyi naturally knows what these people are thinking. If the price is big and the conditions are good, Liu Ruyi and Caishijun will not worry about recruiting Golden Phoenix!
It’s just that, as a literati, the process should be more subtle after all!
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Liu Ruyi warmly invited Lu Weiqi and his disciples to stay, preparing to host a banquet!
But Lu Weiqi refused on the excuse that Liu Ruyi was busy with military affairs and needed a rest!
Today has made a good start. Both parties understand their respective ideas. The next thing will be much simpler. Naturally, there is no need to get entangled for a while!
Seeing Lu Weiqi walking away with a smile, Liu Ruyi also had a smile on her lips!
Tomorrow will be a new beginning!
Caishijun has finally stepped onto the stage of the so-called ‘mainstream’ society!
Early the next morning, at dawn, the east gate of Luoyang City opened wide, gongs and drums were beating, and thousands of people came together, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, towards the big tent of Liu Ruyi, the Colored Stone Army, to 'kill!'
The leader was a young fat man. Although there were hundreds of guards around him, when he saw Liu Ruyi's personal guards on both sides who were tall and strong and murderous, he still instinctively shrank his neck, followed every step cautiously!
This person is Zhu Yousong, the crown prince of Prince Fu!
The Caishi Army was victorious, the Refugee Army was defeated, and the crisis in Luoyang City was resolved, but new problems were placed before Prince Fu and his son!
Although Liu Ruyi was an officer of the Ming Dynasty and would not take the lives of their father and son, in this era, officers and soldiers were like bandits. What Liu Ruyi's attitude towards Luoyang City was, the two men had no idea!
In this case, Zhu Yousong had to come to Liu Ruyi's tent in person to have a look!
For today's situation, Liu Ruyi had already prepared for it. The huge tent was already filled with exquisite small tables. Next to each table, there was a soldier waiting on him, and all the tea and drinks were available!
Although Zhu Yousong and his entourage are powerful, there are only a few people with real status who can enter Liu Ruyi's tent!
Such as Wang Yinchang who participated in politics, Chen Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Luoyang, Chen De and his son, Lv Weiqi, a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, and his main disciples, as well as wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all walks of life in Luoyang!
However, although Wang Shaoyu, the former Henan Commander-in-Chief, hated Liu Ruyi deeply, in such a situation, he had to bow his head under the eaves. He suppressed the fear in his heart and came to Liu Ruyi's house. account!
After all, in the officialdom, he would definitely not dare not to give Liu Ruyi the face to welcome him!
Soon, the spacious tent was filled with people!
Liu Ruyi was high up, leaning on the tiger skin throne, scanning everyone one by one!
In addition to Lu Weiqi and his few close disciples, everyone present was also very curious about Liu Ruyi. They also wanted to see what the world-famous 'Qi Guogong' was like!
It's just that when they look at Liu Ruyi, they look at them completely differently from how Liu Ruyi looks at them!
They didn't dare to look directly into Liu Ruyi's eyes. They just lowered their heads quietly and secretly used the corner of their eyes to look at the real owner of the land under their feet!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Ruyi coughed lightly and picked up the wine glass in his hand, "Everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our Caishi Army camp and visit our Caishi Army soldiers! You all know the righteousness and understand the truth. People of truth, I would like to present a toast to all of you on behalf of the fifty thousand soldiers of the Colorful Stone Army!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup first!
"The Duke of Qi is mighty!"
"The Duke of Qi is so heroic!"
"I'm done waiting!"
Everyone immediately burst into compliments!
Zhu Youshu also followed the others nervously and drank all the wine in the glass!
However, his father's words before leaving resounded in his ears, "Liu Ruyi is arrogant and domineering, and he may be disobedient! My son must be cautious and extremely careful." !”
At this time, Zhu Yousong was sitting on the lower left side of Liu Ruyi, only five steps away from Liu Ruyi!
He could already clearly see Liu Ruyi's every move, as well as the shining golden sword hanging on his waist!
While he was thinking, Zhu Yousong suddenly noticed that Liu Ruyi was moving, and was striding towards him. His heart could not help but rise to his throat in an instant!
Liu Ruyi had already walked into Zhu Yousong's side at this time, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the conditions in the army are simple. If there is a lack of hospitality, I hope that Your Highness will forgive you!"
Liu Ruyi was also a little curious about the famous 'Hongguang Emperor' in later generations. She looked at him with a smile, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all!
"Qi, Duke of Qi, I, I, I am not good at drinking, I hope Duke of Qi will not, don't blame me!" Zhu Yousong's heart was about to jump out, he was holding the wine glass tremblingly, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence!
"Well?" Liu Ruyi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Your Highness, are you trying to deny Ruyi some face?"
"No, no, no! I, I, I..." Perhaps the pressure from his father was too great. Zhu Yousong was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would cause trouble, so he didn't dare to express his anger!
However, the two guards around him were a little confused about the situation. One of them held the handle of the knife tightly and yelled at Liu Ruyi loudly: "Bold! The prince said that he is not good at drinking. You~~, are you?
