Zuozhuang, a warm and simple courtyard, is right next door to Zuo Menggeng’s residence and is now Xu Ruolin’s residence.
She did not live alone, but lived with Zuo Xianmei and Wang Siyi.
In addition, five or six female soldiers were arranged to guard the place.
No one in the New Army had any objections to this arrangement.
Everyone knows that Xu Ruolin is Zuo Menggeng's fiancée, who is also the future mistress, and security issues cannot be neglected.
Xu Ruolin was sitting by the kang, her face turned red with embarrassment when Zuo Mengeng grabbed her hands.
Being alone in private, with the man so close, the strong masculine aura made her a little distracted.
"Why... you say that?"
Zuo Mengeng let go of her hand, turned around and went out. After a while, he came back and handed Xu Ruolin a large pile of manuscripts.
"You see, this is the European classic masterpiece that I asked Mr. Deng and asked Zuo Fu to collect during this period. However, no one translated it, so I could only put it on the shelf. Now that you are here, you are not doing me any favors.
?"
Xu Ruolin picked up a book at random, opened it, and found that it was a collection of essays.
This prose does not refer to the literary format, but to the entire manuscript, which is composed of fragments of words.
These remarks came from a man named Socrates and should be recorded by later generations.
"Nowadays, the wave of resistance to church rule and oppression in Europe is getting bigger and bigger, and various ideas are emerging one after another. But their roots are mostly based on the ideas of ancient Greece and ancient Rome. I would like to ask you to read these European classical works
Translate it and introduce it into our theory."
Xu Ruolin listened quietly and found that only she could do such a thing. At the same time, she was even more happy because she felt that she was useful and could help Zuo Mengeng.
"Looking at everyone's debate today, everyone's words are meaningful. Aren't you satisfied?"
Zuo Mengeng shook his head, he had nothing to hide from Xu Ruolin.
"Their ideas are certainly good, but they have some shortcomings. If the ideas of the sages of Europe are introduced, they may be able to have the effect of being inspired by others."
Zuo Menggeng called on scholars in the camp to also launch a restoration movement, but after research, he found that ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts and political thoughts all had huge flaws.
If we only dig out the theory of destroying feudalism from ancient Chinese thought, it will be very difficult and it will not be able to form a complete theoretical system.
So he thought of the history of the Western Renaissance, asked Deng Yuhan and other missionaries, and asked Zuo Fu to send people to Haojing, and finally collected some European classical literature and ideological works.
But after getting these works back, I encountered another embarrassment.
No one can translate.
Deng Yuhan now devotes himself entirely to teaching and scientific research, and has no other skills. Zuo Menggeng can no longer find anyone who understands Latin.
This was one of the reasons why he was so happy when Xu Ruolin came over.
Xu Ruolin rushed to Linqing, hoping to show her talents. She got the job as soon as she came, and she was very happy.
"Well, leave this matter to me."
Zuo Mengeng was overjoyed and couldn't help but lean in and kiss her lips, which made the girl's eyelashes tremble wildly and her body temperature was overloaded.
But Zuo Mengeng stopped and said, "It's late that day and you are tired from the journey, so I won't disturb your rest."
Xu Ruolin was stunned, and for some reason, she felt a slight sense of emptiness.
She originally thought this man would...
"you……"
Zuo Mengeng smiled slightly, his eyes as clear as water.
"You have entrusted your whole life to me, so I will naturally respect you and love you. Our lives will last forever."
Words of love penetrate deep into the soul, far more ecstatic than lust.
Xu Ruolin's charming eyes were filled with love. She boldly kissed her back, and then watched Zuo Mengeng go out.
It wasn't until the man was gone that she woke up from the cool evening breeze of midsummer. She smiled at the moon, and the whole place was filled with light.
A voice came from behind Leng Buding's door.
"Oh my god, we are done with each other."
Xu Ruolin was shocked. She felt that everything from the soles of her feet to her brain was burned to ashes by a shameful evil fire.
"Wang Siyi, you, you, you...do you understand what is meant by "don't look at anything inappropriate?"
Wang Siyi flashed out from behind the door, what a boy, he actually brought this Zuo Xianmei with him.
"We didn't eavesdrop on purpose, we just invited you to wash up. Who would have thought that you two would have sex..."
Xu Ruolin was completely annoyed and rushed forward to take action.
"You also said..."
In an instant, the three girls were fighting together, and the small courtyard was filled with the sound of laughter.
After Zuo Menggen came out, he saw someone standing in the corner in the distance through the moonlight.
He walked over casually, and what he saw was a face that was tangled in pain and struggling.
"Are you really going to rebel?"
Zuo Mengeng helped Sun Yuanhua turn around and walked slowly on the quiet path.
"The Emperor of the Zhu family has made this world a mess. If he doesn't rebel, is there any way to survive?"
Sun Yuanhua was furious.
"Do you still know the way to be loyal to the emperor?"
Zuo Mengeng asked back: "My uncle also saw it during the day. Don't Qu Shichu, Zhang Jimeng, Mao Yuanyi, Huang Zongxi, Zhou You, Liu Yiyuan and others understand this? Do you know why they sided with my nephew?"
"
Sun Yuanhua didn't need to say anything, Zuo Mengeng said directly: "If my uncle had to choose between loyalty to the emperor and loyalty to the world, what would you do?"
Sun Yuanhua shouted: "Loyalty to the emperor means loyalty to the world."
Zuo Mengeng shook his head and revealed his state of mind.
"The king is the king, and the world is the world. The dynasty belongs to the monarch alone, and the world belongs to the people of the world. The king is only a solitary person. He is loved by all people, so he can be a king. However, he goes against the grain and ignores the livelihood of all people.
As for the bones being exposed in the wild, such a monarch should be overthrown."
Sun Yuanhua didn't have any fear just because he was in Zuo Mengeng's camp.
"You are lying."
Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly.
"Uncle is a master. Even if you want to accuse someone sincerely, you must have solid arguments. You can't just point a finger and blame others, right?"
Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands toward the north with a very sincere attitude.
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty inherits Heaven's will and upholds great virtues, and he is the common master of the world. Every upright man and gentleman must be loyal to the king and then bring peace to the world. This is the right path."
Zuo Mengeng's needle point is facing the wheat awn.
"Why should someone surnamed Zhu inherit God's will? The great ancestor of the Zhu family was originally just a first-class citizen in Fengyang. He had no food to eat, so he rose up in rebellion, and only then did he have the foundation he has today."
Sun Yuanhua was impassioned.
"The Meng Yuan has no way, and all the people are in mourning. My great ancestor obeys the time of heaven..."
Zuo Mengeng interrupted directly: "Then now that Zhu Ming is ignorant, shouldn't we just follow the time of heaven?"
Sun Yuanhua was stunned, never expecting that Zuo Mengeng would use his spear to attack his shield.
Seeing that he couldn't come to his senses, Zuo Mengeng said quietly: "The people of Qin have no time to mourn for themselves, and the descendants will mourn for them; the descendants will grieve and ignore it, which will also make the descendants to mourn for the descendants again."
He used Du Mu's famous saying to tell Sun Yuanhua that when he denounced Zuo Menggeng's rebellion as treason, he was actually already a Qin man.
Sun Yuanhua had no words to retort, only feeling full of bitterness.
He knew what Ming Dynasty was like now.
He has been an official in many places and has seen all kinds of corruption and scandals.
If you want to say that the biggest impact on him was what happened to Yuan Chonghuan.
He was under the command of Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong at that time, and he knew Yuan Chonghuan's actions and achievements better than anyone else.
But such a person who served the country and the people now ended up in jail. How could he not feel the same sadness?
The only motivation that can support him to run actively and do things with heart is his ambition to serve the country and save the people.
Now Zuo Mengeng told him from a sharp angle that the Ming Dynasty and the world were two different things.
The Ming Dynasty can fall because this dynasty has become corrupt and has become a devil that harms the people.
The world can be saved, because the world belongs to the people of the world.
Sun Yuanhua had never looked at things in the world from such an angle, but once he had the analysis of dynasty and world in his mind, it was difficult for a person's mind not to be shaken.
But Zuo Mengeng knew that Sun Yuanhua's state was still far from a complete transformation.
"Mr. Bi Dongjiao and Mr. Li Meng'an are both here. Uncle Sun, let's go and meet him. By the way, my nephew also has some heartfelt words to express to you."
Sun Yuanhua was shocked when he heard that Bi Maokang and Li Banghua were actually here.
Although he had never met Bi Maokang, he had known him for a long time.
Not to mention Li Banghua, Sun Chengzong lamented the departure of his good friend countless times.
"Where are the two seniors? Take me to see them quickly."
Bi Maokang and Li Banghua lived in Zhuangzi, but they kept a low profile, so Sun Yuanhua did not see them.
Moreover, the two live in the same place, are of the same age, and speak a common language.
Zuo Mengeng and Sun Yuanhua came to visit, and Bi Maokang was also overjoyed.
"I have long heard that Sun Chuyang's art of forging artillery is unparalleled in the world, so I would like to ask for advice now."
In front of Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua also put away his official authority as governor.
"The achievements of our seniors in the field of firearms are obvious to all. The juniors have also benefited a lot from their seniors. Now I am very happy to be able to ask for advice in person."
