Ren Zhen was very impressed by this person.At the beginning of Xiling Taoshan, Donglin talents came to challenge, and it was Han Xiangzi who was sent to take the lead.Ren Zhen stood under the stage and witnessed Han Xiangzi holding a jade flute, attacking his heart with music and rhythm, thwarting the Xiling Qunjie, elegant and chic.Later, Mr.
Zhao Qianqiu saw through his foundation and sent Zhuoer, who also cultivated his mind, to fight, and the two cherished each other, and became close friends at first sight.Ren Zhen watched the duel from the sidelines, and from them, he saw new hope for the future of Confucianism.He secretly hoped that these high-spirited young people would stick to their hearts, get rid of the inherent shortcomings of Confucianism, and set off a wave of new academic reform.Pingshui meets, one side of the edge.Unexpectedly, when he sent troops to Soochow today, he would be able to see Han Xiangzi again.In less than a year, Han Xiangzi has become too vicissitudes.His original face was as white as jade, tanned by the sun, he was wearing rough cloth clothes, and his chin was full of stubble, which was still the handsome scholar he used to be.If it weren't for Drow's introduction, Ren Zhen would have been hard to recognize him.Obviously, he suffered a major turning point in his life to become what he is now.Zhuoer finished saluting and said: "That day, the East and West Academies competed, although the two did not fight head-on, but they both showed their edges and amazed the audience, they should have an impression of each other" On that day, not only Han Xiangzi was in the limelight, but Ren Zhen also pretended to be Cai Jiushi's face to become famous, and was accepted into the Confucian Holy Gate in public and became a Confucian little gentleman.Even if Ren Zhen doesn't remember Han Xiangzi, it is impossible for Han Xiangzi to forget Ren Zhen.After Han Xiangzi saluted, he looked up at Ren Zhen, the look in his eyes had already been wiped out, and what was revealed at this time was more melancholy with emotion about the world."
Your talent is world-famous and famous all over the world, who doesn't know it, but when you see your face again today, you don't know how to call you."
In the past, Ren Zhen's identity was the Marquis of Blowing Water and the Confucian Little Mister, and Han Xiangzi could call him the Marquis of the Monarch or the Little Uncle.But this is not the past, Ren Zhen led the army to revolt and deviated from the imperial court, so whether it was the marquis in the court or the noble status in Confucianism, they were all gone.Now his name is only the leader of the rebel army, and he is regarded as a thief by the imperial court, so Han Xiangzi sighed.The vicissitudes of life, not only himself, but even the situation of the Blowing Water Marquis has changed.Ren Zhen smiled slightly, not as sentimental as him, and replied: "It's all a false name, it's a passing cloud, why bother if you recognize my knowledge, just like Zhuoer, also call me sir" He didn't mean to make others cheaper, but he admired these two people very much, and deliberately treated them like disciples, and carefully cultivated them, so he took this initiative.Han Xiangzi's face was pious, "Mr. explained the Spring and Autumn Period, from a high vantage point, incisive and unique, which benefited me a lot."
If I hadn't come here today for business, I'd really like to ask you for a lesson," he got down to business.In fact, when Zhuoer brought him just now, Ren Zhen had already guessed that he should be a member of the Eastern Wu Coalition Army and wanted to negotiate with him.Ren Zhen looked sideways at Zhuoer and asked him to report the situation.Zhuoer said: "My subordinates were ordered to deliver the letter, but the rebels refused to lead the army to help, and I failed to complete the mission.When I was leaving, I met Brother Han outside the camp, and he told me that the rebels wanted to annex each other, and they were afraid of your might and wanted to reap the benefits. ”"Oh" He was not surprised by the thoughts of the Dongwu Alliance, but what was unexpected was that Han Xiangzi, as a scholar of Donglin, would appear in the camp of the rebels.He stared at Han Xiangzi and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Donglin Academy hates many local grass robbers the most, and Feng Wanli has also led the army to suppress bandits, right" Han Xiangzi understood what he meant, and said gloomily: "Don't hide it, sir, after returning from Xiling Taoshan that day, the academy expelled me."
They have long known that I am cultivating the mind, not the Confucian mind of learning from things, and they were willing to take me in before, but they just wanted to take advantage of me" When he said this, he looked lonely, and at the same time clenched his fists tightly, his heart was full of unwillingness.Contemporary Confucian practice, which follows the ancient law, is pedantic and rigid, rejects any theory that contradicts the ancient law, and regards them as alien and resolutely tolerates.They resolutely believe that to comprehend Confucianism, one should learn from things and explore the true meaning from external objects.And Han Xiangzi sought to be inward, invented his own heart, and constantly pursued the perception and thinking of the human heart, which happened to run counter to the ancient Confucian law and was criticized as a demonic way.Zhuoer is the same, so he was locked up in the bamboo forest by Xiling Academy, forcing him to continue to hold bamboo and not be free.Donglin Academy knew the details of Han Xiangzi, not only did not debunk it, but used his mental attainments as a means to attack Xiling students, and sent him to provoke.In this way, even if he loses, Donglin Academy will only lose an outlier that should have been eradicated a long time ago, and it will not be a loss.Therefore, when Han Xiangzi came back, he lost his use value, and Donglin Academy abolished his cultivation and swept him out of the house.The hot-blooded young man who was once in his prime fell into the clouds in an instant, and he never had the opportunity to cultivate in this life.Now he has nothing to do with Confucianism.Zhuoer sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Confucianism is rotten to the bones, and it has long been a pool of stagnant water.Wouldn't it be a relief for you to draw a clear line with them and stop being in the company of those hypocrites," Han Xiangzi smiled bitterly, "After being expelled from the academy, I went home to study behind closed doors, and I wanted to gain fame by virtue of my talent.How can God make people, bandits are rampant in the township, they not only robbed my family's property, but also took me to the cottage and forced me to be a military advisor" Ren Zhen was dumbfounded.I can't see that the bandits of Soochow are quite far-sighted and know how to cultivate think tanks and formulate development strategies for them.Han Xiangzi continued: "I swore to die, I wanted to die to make my ambition clear, but they took my whole family into the cottage, I can't kill my parents in order to fulfill the name, so I have no choice but to commit myself to the thief." ”When Ren Zhen heard this, he coughed violently, and he forced a smile, and as a result, he almost held back his internal injuries.This bloody plot of pulling people into the gang is simply a copycat version of the Water Margin, this group of talents, but don't be a hundred and eight generals.He patted his chest, calmed down, and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force them, since we meet again, I naturally have to help you solve problems."
Let's be straightforward, if you still want to be their military advisor, I can promise you to let your men go tonight. ”Before the words fell, Han Xiangzi resolutely waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, I came to see you with Brother Zhuo just to persuade you to send troops to exterminate that rabble."
What kind of rebel army are they, if they are really allowed to enter the capital and divide one side, it will be a disaster for the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty" Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Then what about your family, they are still in the bandits' den." ”Han Xiangzi did not hesitate and replied: "How can you ignore the common people for your own selfish interests, I beg you, don't contain them, those people are thieves, they must be cut down and eradicated" Ren Zhen clarified his mind, and was glad that he was not wrong, "You have to understand, it is easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart."
There is a reason why bandits in Soochow have been repeatedly banned, and if the thieves in the hearts of the local people cannot be eradicated, more people will go up the mountains and fall into the grass in the future. ”:
