back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 439 Su Zhe Su Ziyou

"Yuan is long and slow! Maoyuan hasn't brought Su Ziyou here yet. Wouldn't it be a pity for you to go away like this? Why don't you wait and wait until Maoyuan turns around, wouldn't it be better?" Although Chen Shangfa had a different opinion from Meng Qi, But he thinks that Meng Qi is worth dating.Meng Qi is very serious in his work, and he will help people to the end. This righteous personality is quite Mohist style.

Meng Qi is a straightforward person, how can he agree with something he disagrees with?Immediately said: "Pingzhang, it is useless to say more. I think even Su Zizhan will not agree with your actions. Those who beat Dengwen drums will talk about the gains and losses of the government, public and private interests, military secrets, and Chen begging." Rewards, injustices, and strange methods, changing literature, correcting names, and those who make progress without exception can all be exonerated. But this act of Er and others hindered the government and bluntly stated that His Majesty was at fault, regardless of what you and others did. Whether it is correct or not is not a blessing to the people or to the government. Yuan Chang knows etiquette, knows right from wrong, and refuses to go with me. Why is Pingzhang so hard to keep me and refuse to let me go?"

Chen Shangfa was taken aback by Meng Qi's words.He didn't expect Meng Qi to say it outright. Even though everyone here understands this truth, knowing and saying it are another matter.Chen Shangfa was stunned, not knowing what to say.Meng Qi saluted again and was about to leave.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and there was a faint voice: "Ziyou, this is a gathering of literati, not what you think..."

When Chen Shangfa heard it, he laughed loudly and said: "Master Yuan, you said Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, Su Ziyou has already arrived, why not wait a little longer?"

Just when Meng Qi was about to say something, a young man was pushed up.Everyone took a closer look and found that the person following behind was Qian Maoyuan.Liu Qi played with the silver wine glass, and looked at the two of them carefully from the gap between the two.

I saw that Qian Maoyuan was born with a pointed head and a narrow forehead, and a pair of not too big eyeballs aiming everywhere, one can tell that he is an elf.At this moment, his face was full of smiles, and he persuaded in a good voice: "Father Su also agrees that you come out for a small gathering on behalf of Su Zizhan, so why not just sit down? We are all scholars, talking about poems and political affairs, isn't it?" The ultimate joy in life? Now that you’re here, you’ll be safe, and when you’re all here, sit down first and have a cup of tea and wine, won’t it be a problem?”

Liu Qi looked at Su Zhe again, only to see that this man was imposing and upright, and he was regarded as a hero of a generation.Even though Liu Qi was arrogant and looked down on these poor scholars in his bones, he still admired Su Zhe's appearance, and thought: "What a scholar, he deserves to be the number one scholar. After all, he is different from others."

Su Zhe is a very independent person, and his temperament is completely different from that of his elder brother Su Shi.Su Shi is free and easy by nature, likes to make friends, and is bold and uninhibited.But Su Zhe couldn't resist Qian Maoyuan's sharp tongue, and finally lost the battle: "I'll just sit down for a while, and leave soon."

Hearing that he agreed, Qian Maoyuan quickly said, "As you wish, as you wish!"

Only then did Su Zhe walk towards the crowd slowly, and said with a salute, "Meizhou student, Su Zhe and Su Ziyou have met all of you."

Chen Shangfa was expecting him to come, and he didn't care about Meng Qi who was about to leave, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Su, don't be too polite, please take a seat!"

Su Zhe said sternly, "No, it's getting late, my father is not in good health, how can I stay for a long time? If you have anything to say, it's better to say it now."

Chen Shangfa was taken aback for a moment, but fortunately he was good at understanding people and the world, so he quickly said: "It doesn't matter, in fact, I am waiting here to implement the new policy at Shang Lun Sheng. I don't know what brother Su's opinion is?"

Su Zhe frowned, and said, "Qiu Wei? Didn't the newspaper say that when Qiu Wei opens again, it will be enough to study the scriptures?"

If he didn't know Su Zhe's identity, Chen Shangfa would have known that he was here to make trouble.Meng Qi had already reached the stairs, but when he heard this, he froze in place.He thought about countless possibilities that Su Zhe would say, but he couldn't think of such an excellent answer.At this time, the waiter downstairs was bringing dishes up, saw Meng Qi blocked on the stairs, and yelled a few times before Meng Qi moved out of the way.

Xiao Er asked in a low voice: "Guest officer, are you going to the latrine? The latrine is behind the courtyard..."

Meng Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No, no, go and serve the food."

Xiao Er was puzzled, and thought: "This man is really weird, why don't he just sit and listen, instead of eavesdropping at the stairs?" Shaking his head, he carefully carried the dishes and went upstairs slowly.

"...Brother Su is really good at joking, I am asking, but the ten-rank official system implemented by the Holy Majesty is not a matter of Qiu Wei next year." Chen Shangfa smiled apologetically, and pointed out the topic he wanted to talk about.

Su Zhe said "Oh", and then said: "The master said: 'If you are not in the position, you will not seek political affairs'. How dare you talk about political affairs before you have gained half an inch of fame for freedom?"

Hearing this, Chen Shangfa's heart trembled, and he looked at Su Zhe carefully, and found that his serious face was filled with the same brilliance as Meng Qi. "Another Chief Meng Yuan! Inviting him here is really a wrong move..." Chen Shangfa sighed inwardly.

Seeing Chen Shang's French knot, Liu Qi got up and smiled and said: "No, we are all citizens of Dashun. How can we sit idly by when we see the Holy One going his own way? Even though we have no fame, we can still give advice. We will make an agreement tomorrow. Go beat the Dengwen Drum, in order to see His Majesty, and state the disadvantages of the new policy face to face, I wonder if Brother Su would like to go with you?"

Su Zhe saw Liu Qi's appearance, and after listening to his words, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "Don't you hear that there is a saying in "The Doctrine of the Mean": 'A gentleman acts according to his position, and he doesn't want to be outside it', "If you are in a superior position, you will not be inferior, and if you are in a inferior position, you will not be able to help your superior"? Don't you hear that Zeng Zi said: "A gentleman can't think about his position", and Mencius said: "It is a crime to say that a low position is high"? Today's promotion of new policies is all for Is the affairs of the court stronger than the ministers of the court? From my point of view, it is not."

Liu Qi was stunned when he dropped the bookbag like this.He muddled through while studying, although the teacher taught with all his heart, but he didn't bother to learn, he only had a half-knowledge, a scratch.Now, he seems to have heard Su Zhe even mentioned "The Doctrine of the Mean", Zeng Zi, and Mencius, but he only understands a little bit.Want to refute, but can't talk about it.

After all, Chen Shangfa is a little ink, seeing that Liu Qi was speechless by the refutation, he quickly helped him and said: "This statement is wrong, don't you hear "Book of Changes" "Know and then don't retreat, know existence but don't know death, know gain but don't know Mourning, is it only the saints? Those who know how to advance and retreat without losing their righteousness, are the only saints?" Mencius said: "I am good at nurturing my awe-inspiring spirit". Do you sit on the sidelines? Da Shun is not the Da Shun of His Majesty, but the Da Shun of the people of the world. The warning words of "Da Shun Minbao" are so loud that we will follow them all our lives!"

This remark was resounding, if Meng Qi hadn't known about Chen Shangfa's family background earlier, he would have believed it too.Hearing this on the stairs, he sighed in his heart: "Chen Pingzhang's intelligence is far superior to mine. If he could concentrate on his studies, he would have already passed the imperial examination. Why should he be so?"
