The Minister of Mengxue wanted to restore his reputation, but he didn't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame, and he didn't want to be infamous for thousands of years.
However, he doesn’t want to offend his boss!
When commenting on this preface, the most indispensable point is the word "family harshness".
In other families, if they meet such a talented son, they must of course nurture and nurture him well.
But what about Lin Shangshu?
The status of Lin Ke and his mother was almost infinitely equivalent to that of slaves and handymen.
Even the Minister of Mengxue knew that the greater Lin Ke's achievements, the more Lin Ke would hate and regret him.
It's not that I regret not treating Lin Ke well, but that I regret not killing Lin Ke directly and annihilating the family for justice.
In this case, how would he evaluate the poem?
It’s great to say that you can learn knowledge in such a harsh and harsh environment?
That is simply bringing trouble to your boss!
Otherwise, would you say, this preface is just so-so?
Then, although he doesn't have to offend his boss, his life is over, and even his family is over.
Difficult to handle!
The Minister of Mengxue was thinking quickly, but Lin Ke did not give him a chance to choose, but said softly:
"My Uncle Qi once told me that different Taoisms do not conspire with each other, but different Taoisms can also exist at the same time. For example, he is very interested in Mongolian studies... I also want to hear what Mr. Shilang has to say about this preface. ?”
coming!
Olive branch!
Lin Ke's purpose at this time is very simple, to alienate!
However, it's not really a estrangement, it's more like a pull-in.
There are very few monolithic relationships in the world, and most of them are about bustling interests.
The Ministry of Rites seems to be monolithic from top to bottom, but Lin Ke feels that it can be tried after all.
And the Minister of Mengxue was not a fool. At this time, he naturally knew what Lin Ke meant.
Even some thoughtful people present could understand the profound meaning of Lin Ke's words.
Unabashed wooing!
At this time, countless thoughts in the capital are being directed here, observing and listening.
Every word of the Minister of Mengxue is important.
even……
He also felt two extremely powerful thoughts.
Lin Xuanji!
Qi Tianxia!
A choice must be made... The Minister of Meng Xuesi's heart was pounding like lightning.
Even at this time, he remained calm and calm, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.
There is no fool who can reach this position, and there is no one who is surprised.
Each of them has excellent Qi-nurturing skills.
"I don't dare to criticize it seriously. I can only guess a little bit about the young master's meaning, and then appreciate this excellent work of persuading students!"
The Minister of Mengxue did not think for too long, but said directly: "The meaning of this poem, in my opinion, should be like this..."
"The young master loved to study when he was young. Because of the strict discipline at home, he could not get books to read. He often asked people who collected books to borrow them, copied them by hand, and agreed to return them on a date. When the weather was extremely cold, the water in the inkstone pool froze. It became solid ice..."
The Minister of Meng Xuesi stroked his beard and spoke softly, full of praise.
then……
Then he finished "commenting and appreciating" the entire preface.
"Mr. Lin, is my understanding correct?" Meng Xuesi's assistant smiled and said, "By the way, I still have something to do in the court. Can I resign first?"
After hearing this, the audience in the audience began to discuss again.
"What the minister said is so good!"
"Yes, yes! There were some things that I didn't understand at first, but after Mr. Minister's explanation, I understand everything!"
"As expected of the Minister of Mengxue! He is truly talented and knowledgeable!"
"That's right, but Mr. Lin Ke was so pitiful when he was a child!"
The audience was talking, but Lin Ke wanted to laugh a little at this time, and quickly stopped the Minister of Mengxue: "My lord, please stay!"
Are you commenting or appreciating?
This is called translation!
Classical Chinese is translated into vernacular!
In this case...
Lin Ke smiled slightly: "My lord, your translation of my preface is basically accurate, but I would like to ask your lord, why do you avoid talking about the word 'family harsh'? Could it be that you don't trust me?" Did the common people grow up with harsh families?"
coming!
Lin Ke emphasized the word "family harsh" at the beginning, but the Mengxue Secretary avoided talking about it, or it was just a vernacular translation and did not give his own evaluation.
Normal people will basically give their own subjective evaluation when talking about a thing.
For example, this apple is so delicious, this orange is so delicious, etc.
Instead of directly describing "This apple is red, sweetness is 65.83%, and water content is 59.68%."
This is especially true in literature.
Everyone has their own understanding and opinion about a sentence or thing in the article.
For example, regarding Lin Ke's "family harshness", the Minister of Mengxue did not comment at all, but directly translated it.
He didn't even say a simple subjective comment like "Master Lin is really strict about management."
The main thing is smoothness!
For smooth things, you need to use sharp things to pierce them.
Lin Ke's questioning was almost equal to forced questioning.
He is forcing the Minister of Mengxu to express his position!
Now that you have translated it, my family was harsh when I was young.
So tell me, what do you think of this family?
"A demanding family..." At this time, the Minister of Meng Xuesi had probably scolded him in his mind, but he still had a smile on his face: "I think being a harsh family is a good thing!"
"Since ancient times, countless people have risen from hunger and cold, and have lived in poverty. They have gained arduous will from suffering and tempered their spirit of never admitting defeat."
"The same is true for Mr. Lin Ke!"
"It is well known that Mr. Lin's family background is strict. He can restrain his love for his old cow but also treat his offspring with strict family rules. This is indeed a good thing!"
"Look, Mr. Lin Ke, isn't this how you got your current achievements and your current poems?"
The face of the Minister of Mengxue was full of smiles, and his tone showed admiration: "I think everything Mr. Lin Ke is doing today comes from Master Lin's teachings and family rules!"
After hearing the words of the Minister of Meng Xuesi, there was a sound of praise all around.
"Well said! It makes sense!"
"That's right! I just want to give my son more suffering to temper his will!"
"Your Excellency, your words are so good!"
"An ancient saying goes, one's skin is hungry, one's body is depleted, one's actions are disturbed by one's actions, so one's mind and forbearance are moved to gain what one cannot."
"Yes! It seems that Master Lin Ke's current achievements all come from Lin Shangshu's teachings!"
"As expected of a minister, that's amazing!"
The onlookers all agreed one by one, because there is a similar saying in "Mencius", which is to live in sorrow and die in happiness.
However, Lin Ke looked strange after hearing the words of the Minister of Meng Xuesi.
After the Minister of Meng Xuesi finished speaking, Lin Ke couldn't help but ask: "Are you praising suffering?"
"I don't know if you've heard of the survivor effect, but anyway..."
"What should be praised is never the suffering, but the person who has experienced the suffering and has not fallen down, and his firm and strong will."
