Chapter 147: Strong will is a virtue

Xia Yunyi looked back at his son's study window from time to time.

The window is wide open, and my son is sitting there working.

Outside his study, there were six burly men and seven or eight young officials in green shirts.

From time to time, the son's roar came from the window, making the little officials standing in the yard tremble with fear. Even the burly men stood upright. Hold the handle of the knife without squinting.

The wife also looked in the direction her husband was looking, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and whispered: "Master, when you were the county magistrate, you were not as majestic as my son!"

Fortunately, I know that this child is indeed my son, otherwise, I would have suspected that Yun Zhao had done something about Lu Buwei’s past.”

Madam is not angry. He said: "Are you worthy of letting me get pregnant and marry you?" He smiled and said: "Yes, it was great when you were young. When you were looking at flowers on the road, you even had a fight with a prodigal for my concubine."

Xia Yunyi said: "Now , If the libertine teases you again, I will beat you up!"

The lady smiled and said: "No, I am old and beautiful, so I still regard my concubine as a treasure."

Xia Yunyi shook off his wife's protruding finger and pointed at Xia Wanchun: "Why is he working at home? Is he here just to make me angry?"

The lady shook her head and said: "Since you came back, This child has been going home more often. Think about it, he is in charge of such a large county and has to build a railway. How can this child not do much official work at this time?

How can this child still do it? I want to come back as a filial child."

Xia Yunyi sighed and looked at the sky and said calmly: "Shi Kefa went back to his hometown to work as a farm shepherd with a box of books on his back. Chen Zilong bought a boat on the Qinhuai River and went south. Listen. I went to look for mountains and rivers.

Yingtian Mansion was so lively and glorious in the past. In the end, there was only an old man, a small boat, and me, a useless person. Scholar."

Seeing that her husband was in a low mood, the wife grabbed his hand again and said, "Hasn't Master Xu already given me a letter of appointment? I hope that I can join the Upper School of Yushan Academy to teach the Book of Changes.

My mood will feel better if I have something to do.” Ah."

The lady nodded angrily and said, "That's right. My husband is also a well-educated man. This Mr. Xu Shanchang is so unreasonable. He just gave him a letter of appointment and then disappeared. Always ask for three timesThat's good. "

Xia Yunyi grabbed his wife's hand and said: "Today's Yushan Academy is different from the past. Who can serve as a professor in the academy, who is not a famous figure?

I heard that Qian Qianyi also wanted to apply for a professorship at Yushan Academy, but was rejected by Xu Yuanshou. Not only did Qian Qianyi, but Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue also hit the wall.

And the rejection was extremely unreasonable.

To be honest, these three people are all better than me in talent and learning. They are not qualified to teach at Yushan Academy. How can I be a teacher there? ”

“My father is naturally qualified. "

Xia Wanchun didn't know when he had finished handling his official duties, and moved a small stool to the willow tree where his parents were enjoying the shade.

Xia Yunyi shook his head and said: "People are wise enough to know others, Qian Qianyi , Ma Shiying was a tiger and wolf figure in the examination room back then, Ruan Dayue was a little inferior, but not that bad.

Being a father is ranked third from the bottom on the list of Jinshi, but is not on the same level.

Xia Wanchun curled his lips and said: "My master said that the examination room can screen out scumbags, but it cannot screen out scumbags!"

My master’s first priority in selecting candidates is character, unlike Cao Cao who only values ​​talent and learning. The Lantian Imperial Court pays attention to simultaneous progress and balanced development.

If you want talented people, there are plenty of them in Yushan Academy.

Zhu Mingming was harmed by this group of scum who read poetry and books.

Xu Shanchang also once said that Yushan Academy teaches students all over the world how to adapt to the situation, not to let the students deal with the people, but to distinguish the relationship between means and ends.

With the methods of officials like Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dajue and others, my master will definitely order them to be chopped into dog meat sauce within three months.

My father’s talent and learning can make him a high school scholar, and his character is magnanimous and selfless. Talents like you are worthy of joining our Yushan Academy to teach. "

Xia Yunyi said: "Isn't it too much to correct? "

Xia Wanchun shook his head and said: "It's not that we are overdoing it, but we simply don't believe that those people can serve the people and the country wholeheartedly. Instead of arguing with them in the court, it is better not to let them go from the beginning. . "

Xia Yunyi lamented: "What a waste of natural resources!

Xia Wanchun sneered: "Are there many people who have been humiliated in this world?" We don't want people who can't uphold a righteous heart, who can't contribute to our people, who only think about their own achievements and wealth, even if you are a genius.

The more talented they are, the more damage they will do to our country.

My master wants to use his long whip to establish orthodoxy for China and tell the world what kind of talents are worthy of our respect and what kind of talents are suitable for us to send to the altar.

From now on, people who are like flies and dogs and who are inconsistent with their appearance should be despised. ”

After listening to his son’s words, Xia Yunyi slowly stood up, looked at the bright blue sky with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked alone into the autumn grain field where some green seedlings had just grown.

These words shocked him greatly. He recalled his mood when he went to Beijing for the scientific examination... There was no such thing as the desire to benefit the world as his son said, only a full stomach. The idea of ​​making a name for yourself is to show off your parents.

When the imperial list was announced, I felt only ecstasy, not because my ambition finally had a stage to show off, but my heart was filled with the joy of being superior to others.

As well as recommending others, Xia Yunyi can easily come up with an answer - his son is right, becoming a good scholar in literature and martial arts and becoming an emperor is the ultimate goal in the hearts of fellow scholars.

Xia Yunyi wandered alone in the fields for a long time. When he came back in the evening, the family of three was eating quietly. Xia Yunyi suddenly asked his son: "Why are you an official?"

Xia Wanchun laughed and said: "We want to dominate the world, we want the best and sweetest fruits in the world to appear in our hands, and we want the fattest food in the world to appear on our tables.

We want to make the world tremble under our cannons and let the world run according to our preferences."

"What about Ming Dynasty?"

"The place where I stand is the Ming Dynasty."

"If we continue like this, we will become the enemies of everyone in the world."

Xia Wanchun said: "A No one will like a real empire, so I, the Ming Dynasty, was not born to be liked by outsiders.”

“How strong are you prepared to be?”

Xia Wanchun. He smiled and said: "Everyone in the world hates me, but they only dare to hate in their hearts, but they have to show the most humble smile on their faces. We fight with the whole world, and the final punch will decide."

Xia Yunyi sucked. Liangfeng asked again: "Is this your master's idea?"

Xia Wanchun shook his head and said: "My master's style is not as good as mine!"

Xia Yunyi sighed: "As a father I have always wanted to see you become Xia Guochun, but I never expected that you would still be Xia Wanchun. If I had known that this day would come, my father would have named you Xia Guochun when you were born."

I was originally saying this impassionedly. After hearing what his father said, Xia Wanchun's face turned red.

"Damn Mu Tiantao!" Xia Wanchun said angrily.

You are so angry.

Since you already have ambitions, you should lower your body and do things first.

Your master praises you too much, so there is probably nothing you can do about it. Things.

The Lantian Imperial Court is expanding too fast, is it short of manpower?”

Xia Wanchun gritted his teeth and said, “We can handle it.”

Xia Yunyi said: "The army of the Lantian Imperial Court is far more powerful than their civilian officials. You need to change!"

Xia Wanchun shook his head and said: "No!"

"Your teacherFu thinks so too? ”

Xia Wanchun said: “This is the pure land we created and cannot be tarnished!” "

Xia Yunyi said: "Too greedy. "

"We are young and still have enough time. Just like my master said, we must transform the world and prevent it from falling into prosperity, ruin, prosperity, and ruin again. of reincarnation.

We will succeed! "

Xia Yunyi frowned and said: "As a father, I also believe that you will succeed, but you need to change your strategy. ”

Xia Wanchun flatly refused: “It cannot be changed. From the current point of view, our great cause is successful. Since it is successful, we must persevere until we find that our national policy cannot keep up with the development of the Ming Dynasty.” , let’s discuss again.

As a reformer, if we relax our stance even a little bit, we will be completely defeated, and our great cause will never be realized. "

Xia Yunyi looked at his son's still childish face, smiled and shook his head and stopped admonishing his son.

Put down his job and said: "The day after tomorrow, my father decided to go to Yushan Academy to study. job. "

Xia Wanchun showed a smile on his face, bowed his hands to his father and said, "I have met Mr. Xia.

Xia Yunyi nodded and said: "My father is not doing things for this country, but for you. Since my father has been selfish for half his life, he might as well continue to be so selfish for the rest of his life."

Watch carefully how my son achieves his dreams in this world and soars like an eagle.

It doesn’t matter even if I get nothing as a father in this life, as long as I have you, I am the greatest luck as a father. "

Xia Wanchun's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at his father and said, "Thank you, Dad.

Xia Yunyi smiled and waved, and said to his wife: "Since you are full, let's go to bed early. We are still busy tomorrow." ”
