Chapter 188 Blinking and Raising Eyebrows, All the Laws Are Revealed to Me. (First Update

Chapter 188 Blinking and raising eyebrows, all the laws are shown to me. (First update!)

The Lin family prepared three carriages for this trip. Chen Heng, Lin Ruhai and Wang Xianming sat in the first one. Jia Min and Daiyu sat in the second one. The third carriage was loaded with gifts and servants. Such a mighty march naturally attracted the attention of people on the street. It was the season of clear autumn and cool weather. Passers-by thought that it was another wealthy family in the city who went out to appreciate chrysanthemums. Apart from giving way to others, they would not be surprised.

On the way, Wang Xianming kept holding Chen Heng's hand and checked his students' clothes from time to time, showing his nervousness and importance of this trip. Uncle Lin looked much calmer, only focusing on the excitement of the street, showing a thoughtful expression. It is not easy to be a parent official. Whenever you have a little free time, you have to pay attention to the lives of the people.

When the wheels stopped steadily, the people who got off stood in front of an ordinary house. The outer wall of the house was a wall of rubble stacked, one person high. Standing here, you can only see the eaves flying out of the stone wall.

Lin Ruhai led everyone to the brand new gate and reached out to knock on the door knocker. After a while, a servant came out. He was a little old, and his old face had a bit of unusual temperament. He was not surprised to see them, and just smiled and said: "Master Lin, please go in quickly. The master and the lady are waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, Steward Ding." Lin Ruhai bowed and smiled, then followed the servant and led everyone into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but it is very lively. There are various flowers planted in the corner of the wall, and there is also a large water tank. When the group walked into the main house through the wooden frame covered with ivy, they were left here by Steward Ding to wait.

Soon, Steward Ding, who left first, came out from behind the screen with an old man. Chen Heng was stunned when he saw the other party, and then he was surprised and surprised and said: "Shanzhang?!"

Pei Huaizhen today obviously changed his clothes on purpose. The dark blue long-sleeved robe that he usually wore in the academy disappeared. He only picked a vermilion embroidered cross-collar long-sleeved robe, holding a green longevity stick, and walked forward step by step.

"Master Pei." Lin Ruhai bowed to Pei Huaizhen.

"Shanzhang." This was called by Daiyu. She also studied in the academy. Although she was in the back hall, she was also considered a half-disciple of the Yueyi Academy.

Pei Huaizhen greeted several people one by one, and then glanced at the servants carrying gifts outside the hall, and complained to Lin Ruhai: "You still like to toss these things, and you will have to ask someone to send them back to you later."

Lin Ruhai smiled, and waited for Pei Huaizhen to sit in the main seat before sitting down, "Etiquette cannot be abolished."

Seeing the two big guys sitting down, a group of people lifted their robes and sat down. In the hall, there was a row of chairs on the left and right. Lin Ruhai sat at the top of the left, followed by Wang Xianming, and Chen Heng ranked third. Jia Min sat alone in the first seat on the right, accompanying Xie who had just walked out.

Lin Daiyu should have been with her mother, but for some reason, after paying respects, she followed Chen Heng and sat next to him, whispering, "Brother, are you surprised?"

"Sister knew it a long time ago?"

"Hehe." Lin Daiyu suppressed her laughter and leaned close to Chen Heng's ear, saying, "I just guessed it yesterday."

She has been walking around the academy recently, so she naturally noticed the details of Xie's preparation of clothes for the headmaster. After comparing the before and after, she knew who Chen Heng wanted to be his apprentice.

The two hid in the back and whispered, and the adults in front were also talking. Pei Huaizhen and Lin Ruhai were old acquaintances. After only a few casual chats, they focused their attention on Wang Xianming.

The age difference between the two was not much. Pei Huaizhen was already in his seventies, and Wang Xianming was also nearly seventy years old. Probably because they were both teachers, Pei Huaizhen, the host, said to Wang Xianming: "Brother Xianming has taught a good disciple."

Brother here is just a word. It can be regarded as Pei Huaizhen's way of getting closer to each other. Thinking that the person talking to him is the leader of the contemporary literary world, who was once the prime minister and a powerful official in the court. Wang Xianming's mood also tightened, and he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his tone.

"I dare not call you brother in front of adults." Wang Xianming was quite nervous about meeting his idol, "It is this child's own efforts that can get the adults to look at him differently."

"Hahaha." Pei Huaizhen laughed indifferently and said casually: "There are often good horses, but there are not often good horse trainers. No matter how good the jade is, if it is not discovered and carved by craftsmen, it is just a stubborn stone in the mountains. Heng'er, do you think I am right?"

Chen Heng, who was still whispering to Daiyu when his name was suddenly called. Like someone who was caught in class, he stood up from his seat and said, "The teacher is right."

He changed his words quickly. Pei Huaizhen curled his lips and teased him deliberately, "Are you surprised?"

"Somewhat." Chen Heng laughed. He knew the great background of the headmaster, so he didn't dare to treat him as an imaginary person. I really didn't expect Uncle Lin to really ask for the headmaster for me.

I can continue my studies with such a person. Chen Heng was also very excited. This is different from studying in the academy, although they are all classes. But in the academy, the headmaster doesn't have the time to teach one by one.

Pei Huaizhen didn't pay much attention to this silly boy. He just waved his hand to let Chen Heng sit back in his seat, and he continued to chat with Wang Xianming. Both of them are teachers, so they can't help but start the topic with this.

Although their identities and status are very different, they are very speculative when talking about this matter. Even though one teaches Meng Ding and the other teaches a talented man in the state government. The inner essence of education is the same.

The concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and teaching without distinction. It is not only Pei Huaizhen’s educational policy, but also Wang Xianming’s personal philosophy. Topics range from the pros and cons of the Four Books and Five Classics to how to help children follow the right path.

Everyone was chatting and talking loudly, and Lin Ruhai was by his side quoting scriptures from time to time. Even others were fascinated when they heard it. It took a long time for everyone to talk happily.

Lin Ruhai was the best at grasping the heat. When he saw this, he hurriedly called Chen Heng to come forward and salute Pei Huaizhen. The latter naturally obeyed his order, but when he was halfway through, Pei Huaizhen had already waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Heng'er is my student." He stretched out his hand, motioning for Chen Heng to come forward and help him, "I'll take this kid with me. Look around later, if you have something to do, just go and get busy."

After living to this age, the mountain leader can do things as he pleases. After Chen Heng helped him walk a few steps, Pei Huaizhen turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "Remember to take the gift back."

"Ah...yes."

Lin Ruhai didn't know whether he heard it or not, but he said yes. Maybe as soon as Pei Huaizhen left, he led the whole family and quickly dropped the gifts and ran away.

Pei Huaizhen didn't bother to care about him and just pulled Chen Heng towards the backyard. The scenery here is more elegant than in the front yard. The two of them walked side by side among the flowers. The chief of the mountain found a small stone pillar and sat down. "If you have anything to ask, just ask it quickly."

"Hey, Master. I really didn't expect you to be the one my uncle asked me to become my disciple."

Chen Heng was really curious. He also knew that Pei Huaizhen had classes in the academy on weekdays and could let others do the work for him.

"After all, after seeing a clay monkey like you, a Bodhisattva has to move his heart." Pei Huaizhen laughed out loud, put the crutch aside, stroked his long beard and said, "A few days ago, I was still hesitating whether to stop it or not. you."

Knowing that Pei Huaizhen still had something to say, Chen Heng stood aside, as if listening.

"The matters on Qiupu Street are all my instructions to you. Firstly, this matter started because of you, so we should have a beginning and an end. Secondly, I also want to see how you behave."

Chen Heng blinked, smiled and said, "Does the student satisfy the master?"

Pei Huaizhen also smiled and did not give an answer on this matter. He only asked: "I also have a question that I want to ask you. What did you think when you brought the jewelers in?"

The mountain chief asked this, and Chen Heng didn't know whether it was right or wrong. But thinking that the two of them will get along day and night from now on, some things can be faked for a while, but they cannot be faked for a lifetime. Then he said frankly: "Once they have money and they take action, the difficulties on Qiupu Street will naturally be solved."

Pei Huaizhen nodded and motioned for Chen Heng to continue.

"Secondly, there is no essential conflict of interest between them and Qiupu Street. Although there was some turmoil before, the harm is compared to the two fighting. If we can turn the conflict into friendship, we can not only get rid of Li Bian's side, but also gain a few more for ourselves. Helper, why not!”

"Don't you remember the various methods they used before?" Pei Huaizhen asked.

Chen Heng shook his head, he really didn't care about this. "Before is before, and future is after. Because of these things, I wish that the other party would die and disappear, which would be more than worth the loss." Chen Heng paused for a moment and then said, "I always feel that my opponent cannot be killed all."

"Hey." Pei Huaizhen let out a long breath. It was because of this that he fell in love with Chen Heng. Do you have a smart mind and write well? Looking around the world, there are many talented people.

When it comes to being an official, Cui Youdao, who was in high school at the beginning of this year, was not a person with bad luck in officialdom. But Pei Huaizhen didn't see this "peace is the most important" attitude in them. Otherwise, why would there be slang words in the prime minister's belly that can punt a boat?

"You don't have to go to the academy classes from now on." Pei Huaizhen pointed to a seat aside and motioned for the students to sit down.

"Yes." Chen Heng immediately accepted the order.

"From now on, you will have half-day classes with me every day. After lunch, you will do whatever you have to do." Pei Huaizhen never wanted to confine Chen Heng to a room and a book. Working behind closed doors will only harm Chollima's aura. The best way to study is to study as well as travel.

"yes."

Neither of them were strangers to the teacher and student they met for the first time, and they didn't need to spend time testing Chen Heng's skills. The college's regular exams every three months have already made Pei Huaizhen well aware of the students' situation. He thought for a while and then asked: "Do you want to learn to look at the present from the past, or do you want to learn to look at the past from the present?"

Seeing that the mountain chief was like a goddess standing in front of two treasure mountains, trying to make him make a choice, Chen Heng couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Can't we all learn from it?"

Pei Huaizhen shook his head and sighed: "I want to teach them all, but I'm old and I'm afraid I don't have enough energy."

There are many heroes and heroes in the world, but they are no match for the saying that time does not spare anyone. When Chen Heng heard this, he was silent. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Master, I want to learn to look at the past by looking at the present."

Pei Huaizhen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Chen Heng answered decisively: "The past is the past, and the future is the future. This moment is the moment I can grasp."

"With this kind of mind, please don't become a monk in the future and waste the kindness of Emperor Wenchang." Pei Huaizhen said a joke, calmed down, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the autumn flowers in the garden and said, "Then from now on Now, start teaching.”

The mountain chief clasped his hands on his chest and said loudly: "What do you think the current court lacks?"

To judge whether a teacher is wise or not, lies in whether he can inspire students' own thinking. As soon as Pei Huaizhen finished speaking, Chen Heng couldn't help but start thinking.

Is the imperial court that Master mentioned really the imperial court? Or the man who holds all the power in the world? But no matter what, the situation they face is the same.

Chen Heng thought: "Lack of food."

In the past two years, there have been constant disasters in the world, and this is what should happen. Pei Huaizhen nodded and said, "Three years of good harvest, three years of poor. A small disaster in six years, a major disaster in twelve years. What else?"

"Lack of money."

The precedent of the salt merchants is already in front of us, so there is no need to say more. Pei Huaizhen signaled Chen Heng to continue.

"There's still...a shortage of people."

"Why do you think so?"

"If a saint or a capable person were born, wouldn't everything be lacking?" The details were cumbersome, so Chen Heng simply summed it up with a lie. The mountain chief can naturally understand the meaning.

"It may not take five hundred years to produce a saint, but it would be good to have a capable person who can help the country and its people." Pei Huaizhen smiled and said indifferently, "With this situation and the war at the border, what did you think of?"

Chen Heng rummaged through the knowledge in his mind, and then uttered a few words under Pei Huaizhen's waiting gaze, "There was also such chaos during the Jiajing period of the previous Ming Dynasty."

Pei Huaizhen laughed, "That's it, that's it."

The courtyard is open and there is no one around to eavesdrop. The mountain chief also said without any scruples, "Today, as my teacher, I will tell you about Zhang Juzheng."

In the past, when reading history, although Chen Heng often read new books, he could not help but see the flowers in the mist. This is limited not only by knowledge, but also by perspective and experience.

It's like a fish swimming in the river. Everywhere it goes, there will be something new. The joy that can be harvested comes from what you can see and cannot be transcended too far.

Now, suddenly a big hand descended from the sky and grabbed him out of the trickling water. A little bit of fun on the shore helped him transform into a human form, and also took him to see the whole river.

This section of the river is called Jiajing, and there are traces of Zhang Juzheng swimming on the river. Pei Huaizhen took Chen Heng and stood on the shore, starting from the solution and pushing forward various reform measures.

Among them are the compromise of using silver and the helplessness of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. There was also ridicule at the hundreds of thousands of silver taels buried in the courtyards of aristocratic families and officials, and anger at the lack of money in the hands of the court and the people.

Pei Huaizhen had an advantage that ordinary people could not possess. He was not only a knowledgeable scholar, but also the chief minister who personally presided over the reform. This vision and experience made him aware of the shortcomings and contradictions everywhere.

When it comes to conflicts that can be compromised and reconciled, Pei Huaizhen talks about the clever moves he and Zhang Juzheng made. Pei Huaizhen talks about how the two of them deal with conflicts that cannot be compromised. Pei Huaizhen told the subsequent results, good or bad, frankly, and Chen Heng listened with rapt attention.

On this day, he not only saw the Ming Dynasty from Zhang Juzheng's perspective, but also saw the Great Yong in the eyes of the mountain chief through Pei Huaizhen's eyes.

The affairs of the world, the changes of the world, the revolution of the world. Just as Pei Huaizhen was peeling off the cocoon, its true cold tone was revealed bit by bit. It makes people sigh and sigh with emotion for Zhang Juzheng's hard struggle.

"The Ming Dynasty flourished in Taiyue and died in Taiyue. Heng'er, do you know why?" Pei Huaizhen started to ask questions about the students.

At night, oh, I'm going to start to explode. Shine, little universe.
