"A gentleman does something and does not do anything. He does not care about his strengths and makes himself stand out, and does not distinguish between importance and speed!" Master Zhou's reprimand was like a surging river. He couldn't stop talking after opening the gate: "There are so many people in the venue, you are only brave and you will be brave enough to face the assassin's knife. How stupid! You are an under-sized boy, how powerful can you fight against such a vicious bandit? If you hadn't been hit by a mistake and broke his leg with just one blow, you and I would probably have been separated by yin and yang today, leaving me with nothing left!"

Changsun Hong lowered his head, said nothing, and looked like a child who had done something wrong.

"You are obsessed with business because your family is poor. To supplement your family's income, it is a kind act of caring for your parents. As long as you can avoid delaying your homework, I won't blame you."

"But when things happen, you are passionate and you will act rashly without caring about it."

"You must know that there are all kinds of things in the world. There are thousands of trees in the forest, thousands of people, good people, and vicious people, and there are also the smiling tiger who is polite on the surface and stabs someone in the back. These people are conspiring and intrigues, and they like to harm others in secret. If you do things in a careless manner and become impatient, you will fall into other people's traps, give people a clear conspiracy, and even let others take the handle."

"The officialdom is like a battlefield, everyone is in danger. At the least, they will destroy their families, and at the worst, they will die. Look at how many smart and clever people come and go in the court, how many good ends are there? How many ends are there?"

Master Zhou sighed heavily, threw the ruler underground, and said earnestly: "Changsun Hong, good medicine is bitter, and honest words are unpleasant. I know you are extremely intelligent and learn from one example. Therefore, these words are all for your own good. You captured the assassin this time, and the glory was infinite. The adults summoned you and got a lot of benefits. But luck should not last long. I hope you will act in the future, think more, and then act. As you said, combine knowledge and action, and be a gentleman who plans and then acts!"

Changsun Hong raised his head, without any resentment because of the long-term lessons. On the contrary, he was listening carefully.

The old man with white hair and hair in front of him was neither close nor close to him. To be honest, Changsun Hong had no relationship with him whether he was alive or alive. He could just teach and educate people and do his duty. Why should he be so troublesome and hard-working to persuade him?

This friendship is unforgettable.

Lowering his head again, Changsun Hong solemnly bowed to Zhou Lang and said, "Remember the teachings of Master, and Changsun Hong will never be so reckless in the future. Think twice before doing anything."

Master Zhou nodded with relief: "Okay, I said so many things, but it's actually just one thing. I hope you will not repeat my mistakes in the future, and will have short-sighted eyes but will have the long-term disaster."

Changsun Hong raised his head and looked surprised: "What story did the Master have before?"

Zhou Lang's face was suffocated, and he realized that he had made a mistake, and shook his hand awkwardly: "This...no, no."

Changsun Hong was not willing to give up. Master Zhou’s past was full of fog, and no one knew it. He had been extremely curious and had been trying to dig deeper into the bottom line. Today, he had to find the opportunity, so of course he had to find out the truth.

He tangled up and showed shamelessness, and tried his best to do his best to fight hard. Master Zhou was helpless by him and had to sigh and surrender.

"I was a Jinshi in the early years of Qingyuan. The Meng family was very generous and served in the court. He was moved to the Censor of the Censorate. I was like you now, and I was full of passion for serving the country. I felt that the officials treated me well and had to repay me with my heart."

"At that time, the four realms were peaceful and there was nothing to do in all directions. The Jin Dynasty and our Song Dynasty had not had a big battle for decades. Although the Jingkang shame was still there, the officials in the court no longer talked about this matter every day. How could they be peaceful and happy to be idle, and everyone enjoyed the blessing of being officials. The group of people who were most passionate about the Northern Expedition were old, and no one was in the ears of the official family, urging him to tighten his troops and regain his hometown."

"You know, Qingyuan is the reign of Ningzong. His official position was stolen by Han Jizhou and a group of people from Guangzong. Since he got to power, Han Jizhou's favor has never been added. The prime minister's action of serving as Privy Councilor began with him."

"Han Jizhou was originally a foreign relative. He ascended the sky and enthroned the three departments of Kaifu Yitong and the three departments. He could not convince the public. He also asserted that he would ban Neo-Confucianism and offended almost everyone. Although the officials protected him, he knew that he would sooner or later be punished by others."

"So he tried his best to do something big, something that would make everyone in the world give him a thumbs up and applaud him. Changsun Hong, do you know what's going on?"

Changsun Hong's eyes shone brightly and he blurted out: "For the Song Dynasty, the best way to regain the northern part of the north is to conquer the public and to restrain the hearts of the people in the shortest time."

"That's true!" Master Zhou slapped his thighs, his face flushed, as if he had returned to his youth: "Homeland was lost to the Northern Barbarians. All the ministers of the Song Dynasty were shamed and all bowed their heads. Qin and Hui emperors rushed north for decades and could not return home until their death. How desolate! For many years, many capable and ambitious people were determined to restore the northern land, but they were futile. If Han Jizhou could do this, he would not only be able to convince the public, but would be honored in history!"

"So he did this. In the early years of Kaixi, in the morning of the court, he publicly submitted a memorial to the government and proposed the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition. Naturally, the government had already agreed with him and immediately promised him to prepare."

"I was the censor and the civil servants in the scheduling class. I heard it with my own ears in the Golden Palace. I was almost so excited that I couldn't do it myself. I immediately left the shift, knelt on the ground and bit my index finger, and wrote a few words to avenge my shame on the ground on the main hall."

Changsun Hong looked at Master Zhou with some urgency. He never expected that this old man who looked like he was about to run out of energy was so passionate when he was young that he always wanted to write blood words. He used to think that he was a down-and-out scholar, and indeed underestimated him.

Master Zhou was immersed in the past and ignored Changsun Hong's surprise: "The civil and military officials of the court naturally agreed with it. In the hall that day, the slogans of the Northern Expedition, which were as thunderous as the slogans of the mountains and tsunamis, were so thunderous that day. Looking back, it still makes people feel warm all over."

His fists were tightly pinched, his whole body tensed like an excited lion. Changsun Hong was worried that he would cause a cerebral hemorrhage, so he quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him with both hands.

Master Zhou took it and was thirsty. He looked up and took a sip, put down the teacup, but sighed: "It's a pity, these are all illusions. Looking back later, the people in the court would certainly agree to it collectively. This is to fight the Northern Expedition. Who dares to stop the matter of glorifying the ancestors of the government? Who dares to say a word of no word?"

What happened next was something that made him very angry. He pressed his hands on the table, his fingernails were about to get into the flesh. He looked up at the beam of the room. Master Zhou was silent for a while, then lowered his head as if he was ridiculous and looked at Changsun Hong again, and his face was already full of sadness.

"But in fact, no one wants to fight the Northern Expedition, the generals don't want, the ministers don't want, and even the people don't want."

"The south of the Yangtze River is comfortable, with flowers, snow and moon, and everyone is satisfied with money and food. In the north, the Jin people ruled for nearly a hundred years, and Jin Shizong was named Xiao Yao and Shun. The weather was also good there, and the peace and life was good."

"No one wants to fight, no one wants to die, only Han Jizhou thinks, only I think."
