Wuxi Donglin Academy.

The rain washed the academy with dark tiles and white walls.

After the rain, the trees in the academy are green, the moss is slightly wet, and the ripples are everywhere on the lotus fields.

The academy also wrote a couplet on the Jing Pavilion, where the peach blossoms are burning, the birds are singing silently, and the catkins are flying and the people are leisurely.

This was the work of Gao Panlong, a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli. Gao Panlong was the favorite student of Gu Xiancheng, the director of Donglin Academy. In the 22nd year of Wanli, Gao Panlong submitted a memorial to accuse the chief assistant Wang Xijue of being dismissed from office by the emperor and Gu Xiancheng returned to Donglin Academy to give lectures.

This couplet comes from Gao Panlong's poem "Shui Living and Retreat". Gao Panlong's poem is quiet and leisurely, with the style of Tao Yuanming.

The raindrops rolled down from the eaves of the pavilion, and passed through a peach forest next to the pavilion.

At this moment, Zou Yuanbiao and **xing were taking their hands behind their backs to enjoy the rain scene in the pavilion.

Zou Yuanbiao said: "We founded Donglin Academy and followed Mr. Guishan's saying, and established our hearts for the world. It has been several years since then. I only saw that the country was empty and four out of every day, and it was not worthy of the support and the right support."

"The country is not worth enough now, and the mining supervision tax is in full force, for fear that the eunuchs guarding the army will repeat during the Zhengtong period of Hongxi. I hope that Taicang is exhausted, and it must wait for the treasury, and the treasury will not be continued. If the country has a hurry in the future, it will be called but will not respond. If it is the next time, the disaster will be tolerated. Seeing that the country is in such a state, we can only sit and wait for death. It is really hateful."

** Xing said: "What Brother I Zhan said is very true. Uncle Shi told me last time. The most urgent thing is to choose the person you and I like, and to discuss it with the superiors and subordinates. Only in this way can the world be saved."

"Uncle Shi's words are in line with my heart," Zou Yuanbiao nodded silently, "Can you and Uncle Shi choose the right person in your heart?"

Gu Xiancheng said: "Shi Shi thought that the new governor of Cao Li Sancai was a master of the world and could be used by the scholars and scholars!"

After Fu Zhiyuan retired, the court promoted Li Sancai to the right-level chief censor, Caohe and the governor of Fengyang.

**Star's words came out, Zou Yuanbiao said: "As we all know, Li Xiuwu is the favorite disciple of Wang Taicang, how can he recommend him?"

"My uncle and I have had some contacts with him. Although Li Xiuwu was a favorite student of Wang Taicang, he was honest and bold, and had a strong character. He did not go along with his teacher. However, he had just served as the governor of the Cao Cao and his qualifications were too shallow to enter the center."

Zou Yuanbiao said silently for a long time: "Li Xiuwu is not a Hanlin, so it is difficult for the prime minister to choose. I can't pass this level by just the court."

"Then what do you think about Shen Guide, who lives in his hometown?" asked **xing.

Zou Yuanbiao remained silent for a long time.

At this time, the wind and rain were blowing, and the peach blossoms on the trees gradually fell.

Zou Yuanbiao brushed off the peach blossom petals on his clothes, and **xing said: "This can be said to be 'brushed all over'."

"Wrinkle all over and full" comes from the poem by Mr. Li. When a person brushes off the fallen flowers on his clothes, he will be filled soon. This is a wonderful poem.

Zou Yuanbiao said: "When Mengbai, you need to get the scriptures first when returning to the scriptures, and when you brush the flowers, you need to pick the flowers first!"

** Xing heard Zou Yuanbiao's words and looked up at the three words "Returning the Jing Pavilion" on the plaque and said: "Brother Zhang, this seems to be a different point. You can get the Sutra to obtain the Sutra to refer to this. If you do nothing, you should act first. If you do something, you should gradually move the method of inaction?"

Zou Yuanbiao said: "Mengbai Zen is profound, but I am not talking about this. The original intention of our founding of Donglin Academy is to make the right way, advise the emperor, and open the way of speaking, but have you ever thought about this path... I took the wrong path."

** Xing said seriously: "Brother, you are aware of the right way, advise the emperor and open up the way of speaking. How could countless ancient and modern sages do it? "

Zou Yuanbiao said: "Mengbai, I know you hate evil and are serious about your moral integrity and strict governance. However,... the court affairs should not be weighed by right or wrong, and officials should not only distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treacherous."

**xing said: "Why is Brother Erzhan's intention?"

Zou Yuanbiao said: "Recently, I have often exchanged letters with Mr. Lin to discuss academic research... What Mr. Lin said made me deeply moved."

** Xing's eyes sterned when he heard this, and he thought that he really wanted to belong to him.

"A passerby saw a fellow villager carrying a load of wine and vegetables and stalemate with the doctor who carried a load of goods on the earthen ridge in the field."

"It turns out that the earthen ridges in the fields are narrow, and they pass by side on weekdays, but they can only carry a load. If the two give in, they will go down to the paddy field. Passers-by advise the doctor to say that the fellow villager is short, and he is afraid that the wine and vegetables will go down to the field and ask the doctor to let him go. In this way, he will also pass. Because the doctor's goods are heavy, he will not give in. Official Lin Hou wrote this letter and asked me to cover it. Just imagine what should you do if you are a passerby?"

** Xing pondered for a moment and then said, "The two have their own reasons, but passers-by first favor their fellow villagers if they have their own personalities. This is wrong. Passers-by should advise them first, and everyone should take a step back. If they cannot, they should argue with politeness. Soaking wine and food in water is to disrespect the guests, and rudeness is the most important. As for wealth and goods, it is profitable, and failure is light, so the fellow villagers should pass first."

Zou Yuanbiao shook his head and said, "Official Lin Hou said in the letter. When passers-by heard this, he rolled up his trousers and jumped into the water. He said to one of them, I will take care of it."

**Star listened for a while and didn't know how to speak.

Zou Yuanbiao sighed, "This is the sutra that you can learn from, pick up flowers and brush with flowers. What is the first and the last? When we always ask whether we are right or wrong when we encounter problems, we don't ask whether we have tried our best. Is there really few people who can "clear the right way and advise the emperor" or few people who can "I will take responsibility for it"?"

** Xing Fuxiu sighed: "At first, I thought that Mr. Lin was just the same as Ye Xinshui and Chen Longchuan. Today, his knowledge is so profound that I can't reach."

Zou Yuanbiao said: "It's not that it's profound, but that it's consistent! How about he who takes care of the world?"

** Xing smiled and said, "Brother Erzhan said that he had governed the country, "the evil of the hundred kings can be restored, and the prosperity of the three generations can be restored," and who else can be reached? I have long thought it belonged to him, but..."

Speaking of this, ** Xing looked gloomy and said, "It's just that the country's resources are exhausted, the crisis has come to this point, and people's hearts are dispersed. I'm afraid that the Marquis of Lin will not rise again. At this moment, there is really no way to come out, but why would the people sigh?"

Zou Yuanbiao smiled and walked and said, "If Anshi doesn't come out, what can you do? When Anshi comes out, what can you do? Although the Lord Lin Hou is not Xie and Wang Ergong, he will be helpless if he doesn't come out!"

Zou Yuanbiao not only explained to **xing and his students, but also vigorously recommended Lin Yanchao to the court to Sun Piyang, the Minister of Personnel and other ministers of the court.

There is a fork in the road from Xuegong Academy.

But the group said that they were looking for someone to ask for directions by the road.

But when a Confucian scholar came, several people looked at him but saw the Confucian scholar carrying a bookcase, walking and reading while holding a book. Unlike the Confucian scholars I had seen in the past, they saw that the Confucian scholar had no difficulty burying his head in the scriptures, but instead he was refreshed.

One of them bowed and said, "My friend, is this road to Xuegong Academy?"

The Confucian scholar returned a ritual and pointed: "Follow this road and go north about a mile."

"I wonder what book is my friend reading?"

The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "My miscellaneous books are not worth mentioning, so it makes me laugh."

"Since it is a miscellaneous book, why should I read it?"

The Confucian scholar looked at the other party and smiled, "Reading can be full of knowledge and knowledge, and it is used as the use of the world. Why not read it?"

The other party smiled and said, "At a young age, he actually wants to be in the world. His tone is really good."

The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "I am lazy to live in the mountain man, and I have to rent my body every day. I have more books and more heavy pens. I have less sleep and new ones, which makes the old man laugh."

The other party couldn't help but nodded: "My friend is talking well, I'd like to ask for a high name!"

The other party clasped his fists and said, "I dare not be Liu Zongzhou, Shanyin! I was born in the second year of Xuegong Academy!" After that, he left.

The man nodded and said to the side: "Master, this scholar is so arrogant."

This man waved his hand and said, "We scholars, if we don't do anything to be arrogant, we will be crazy. How can we just bring it to you? This guy has a good conversation, and his fame may not be inferior to me in the future."

When the other party walked to the academy, he saw that the academy was built with yellow walls on all sides, and the big words "Studying Academy" were written on the main entrance.

This person stopped for a moment and heard the sound of Langlang reading.

Scholars walk in groups of three or five, with a spirit of ecstasy and talk loudly on the road, not to blame others for listening.

The man said to himself: "Although it is a little simpler, it lacks the ancient aura of the big academy, but it can be said that the mountain is not high or deep. Looking at the students here, they lack a little humbleness and reluctance. They are not willing to be a white Ding or a great scholar. It is of some interest."

This person posted a message to see him, and a student from the academy was surprised and said, "I don't know that the layman has come and is missing. Please invite him inside."

The man smiled and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, this person stepped into the academy and saw a large, spacious land with loess on it, and then dozens of students ran around with their shirtlessness.

The man asked, "What is this?"

The student guided the way said: "Mr. I once said that the principle of barbarizing his body and civilizing his spirit."

The man nodded and said, "Yes, all things in the world are just gathering and dispersing in one qi. The body is a tool, and the spirit is the Tao. If there is a tool, there is a Tao. If the tool does not exist, what is the Tao?"

The students were very happy to be praised by everyone in Neo-Confucianism, "The same is true for the sir. Therefore, students from Jingyi and Zhen colleges have to go around here for fifty weeks every day."

Soon the man walked into the hall, but saw a plaque with the words "Jingyi" written in the hall, and the following is Lin Yanchao.

In addition, there are a few words of the sages written on the wall with water signs, one of which is Su Xun's words, "Who in the world does not want to create a saint's territory in one go?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "What a big tone."

He turned his head and looked around, but saw that the bookshelves were filled with bookshelf on three sides. The bookshelf did not have collections of classics, history, and literature, but articles written by lecturers and students in the academy.

Although there are many books on the bookshelf, there is a general book for indexing.

He looked at it and saw that all the books were divided into two outlines, namely literature and theory. There was a sentence attached to it, "Writing is the basis of scriptures, and theory is calculated as scriptures."

The man looked at himself and said, "It seems to be a bit tricky."

He carefully read the bibliography, including classics, historical strategies, as well as criminal names, economics, and people's livelihood. In addition, there are medical skills, nine chapters, geography, geographic aristocraticism, arts, farming and semen, craftsmanship, and research. Among them, there are living things, and there are even many translated books, one of which is "The Original Geometric" written by overseas people.

This person was very eye-opening and thought to himself, what should Guan Hou of Lin do in the world, among the three religions and the nine ranks?

"It's been a long time since I hugged Mr. Du."

The man turned around but saw a long bearded man in a silly shirt standing behind him.

Baodu Jushi is the name of this person. The other party was Lu Kun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who was impeached and accepted into the palace after entering the "Boenix Fantus" in the court a while ago, causing a stir.

Lu Kun bowed and said, "Mr. Lu has met his old parents!"

"I dare not take it."

Lin Yanchao smiled. He had served as a local official in Guide, and Lu Kun was from Ningling, Guide, so of course he could say that.

Lin Yanchao knew that Lu Kun was dismissed from office because of his mistakes for Sun Piyang. At the same time, he had a good relationship with Chen Li, and he was a famous scholar today. So he didn't know why he came here this time.

After the servant brought the tea, the two sat opposite each other in the hall.

When talking to the great scholars, you often have to go around in a circle.

The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and Lu Kun said, "Da Zong Bo, is the word "subtitle" on the plaque the way to achieve success?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Shame."
