Gong Mengbi did not hide his gaze. When he looked at Yan Chixia, Yan Chixia seemed to feel something and turned her head to look over.
When he saw it was Gong Mengbi, his eyes suddenly showed joy, and he held his hands in greetings from a distance.
Gong Mengbi returned the courtesy with his hand raised. Seeing Yan Chixia wink in the direction of Mr. Liu Nan, indicating that it was inconvenient for him to come, Gong Mengbi nodded and stood waiting outside Mingdao Hall.
Yan Chixia raised her hand in greeting, which attracted the attention of people around her and followed his hand to look over.
At this glance, he saw Gong Mengbi, and he immediately felt a bit pleasant.
Mr. Liu Nan asked: "Chixia, who is that?"
Yan Chixia said: "It's my old friend, Gong Mingfu."
The headmaster of Wansong Academy praised: "He is really handsome, handsome and good-looking."
Such good looks are not only beautiful in appearance, but also beautiful in spirit and temperament.
Mr. Liu Nan couldn't help but feel happy and said: "If there's nothing wrong, you can invite him to come and listen to the lecture."
Yan Chixia bowed and saluted, and came towards Gong Mengbi.
Mr. Liu Nan, surrounded by the mountain chief and others, entered the Mingdao Hall first.
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Why are you here and you don't want to listen to Mr. Liu Nan's lecture?"
Yan Chixia sighed and said: "Brother Mingfu, brother Mingfu, I used a lot of connections to ask Liu Nangong for advice. But Liu Nangong took one look at you and asked me to invite you to come with me. Went to listen to the lecture.”
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "It's because of you that you take advantage of me. Are you now under the command of Liu Nangong?"
Yan Chixia said: "I'm just asking for advice, and I haven't become a disciple yet. Liu Nangong is very knowledgeable and has a lot of knowledge. He is good at everything, but he doesn't like me very much."
The two of them walked into Mingdao Hall and sat down next to Mr. Liu Nan.
As soon as Gong Mengbi came in, he attracted the attention of many students. If Mr. Liu Nan hadn't been there, those who wanted to make friends with him would have come forward immediately.
Yan Chixia said sourly: "Brother Mingfu's beauty is as beautiful as throwing a car full of fruit. It's really incomparable."
Gong Mengbi knocked him, "Shh."
The mountain chief is already introducing Mr. Liu Nan.
Gong Mengbi didn't know much about Mr. Liu Nan, but Mr. Liu Nan was really famous.
He once served as the prince's young master, and became a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he returned to his hometown due to illness and devoted himself to teaching.
After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he tried to re-appoint Mr. Liu Nan many times. However, Mr. Liu Nan was in poor health and was really incapable of political affairs.
Wansong Academy also put a lot of effort into inviting Mr. Liu Nan to give lectures.
Mr. Liu Nan spoke slowly, starting from his own experience, talking about what he experienced when he was in office, and then using these things as an introduction to explain his own views.
He said that people's hearts and minds should be the basis of governance, and sincerity should be the basis of governance, and he criticized those who make big words without any verification.
Liu Nangong criticized the current situation and said many heartfelt words. Gong Mengbi listened with some admiration in his heart.
But when I looked at the students in the class, I saw that the lecture had nothing to do with the exam or the scriptures, and I immediately lost most of my interest.
Looking at what Liu Nangong said about less empty talk and more practical work, I understand this truth in my heart, but I don't believe it deeply.
Gong Mengbi understood that the people's support was gradually losing.
The carnivores in power don't value hard work, nor do they value the people's support. Maybe they are just being unfaithful to the people, and they don't count as the people.
What goes up and what goes down will lead to results. Mr. Liu Nan’s lectures are not enough to reverse this unhealthy trend.
Gong Mengbi can be seen clearly by outsiders, and Mr. Liu Nan can see it even more clearly.
But he still wants to talk and talk. Some people don't believe it, but some people believe it.
As long as there are people who are willing to listen, he will continue to tell it, telling it to those whose blood is still hot, and to those who are full of vitality.
Mr. Liu Nan mentioned the emotional point and coughed a few times.
The waiter beside him quickly patted his back gently to help him calm down.
Mr. Liu Nan took a breath and saw the different expressions of everyone in the hall. Even though he had expected it, he still felt a sense of waning interest.
This lecture felt quite anticlimactic.
When Mr. Liu Nan came, everyone was paying attention, but after Mr. Liu Nan finished speaking, everyone lost interest and became somewhat cold.
After sending away everyone who was listening to the lecture, the mountain leader prostrated himself in front of Mr. Liu Nan and said with shame, "It is my fault that Mr. Liu was left out."
Mr. Liu Nan helped him up and said: "You have done a good job. I have seen many good seedlings, and my trip is not in vain. You must cultivate them well and don't let people with lofty ideals feel disappointed."
The mountain chief nodded solemnly.
Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia had already left Mingdaotang and were walking slowly in the back mountain.
Yan Chixia sighed: "Liu Nangong is determined to change, but he is old and has both ambition and strength."
Gong Mengbi said: "What ills in this world can he alone be able to save?"
Yan Chixia was in a daze and said, "Both the superiors and the subordinates are interested in connecting each other, but they don't know about sincerity and justice. I want to follow the way of humanity, but I don't know that humanity can tolerate me."
Gong Mengbi said: "The human realm is vast, and all living beings are included in it. Of course the human realm can tolerate you, but the kingly realm may not be able to tolerate you."
Yan Chixia glanced at him, smiled and said, "That's true."
Gong Mengbi asked: "Brother Yan, have you made up your mind to join the world and practice?"
Yan Chixia said: "Master said that my mortal fate was over, so he asked me to come down the mountain. I killed demons all the way to Qiantang, and finally discovered that the ills in this world are not the demons, but the people themselves."
"Demons cannibalize humans, and gods and goddesses can still cure them. People cannibalize humans, and who can cure them?"
Gong Mengbi looked at him steadily and said, "Brother Yan has such a broad mind and doesn't have to worry about practicing in this world."
Yan Chixia smiled bitterly and said: "I am already facing a problem now. Liu Nangong said that people's hearts are the foundation, which is very suitable for me, but Liu Nangong has retired and has lost power in the court. Liu Nangong does not The reason why I am willing to serve the new emperor is not only because of my health, but also because once I enter the court, I will be trapped in a situation and will be restrained everywhere. It is better to go outside the temple and learn to advance."
Gong Mengbi understood: "You want to worship Liu Nangong, but worshiping him may not be helpful to your future?"
Yan Chixia nodded, with a look of shame on her face, and said, "Brother Mingfu, I can't see clearly anymore."
Gong Mengbi said: "In terms of spiritual practice, you have to obey your original intention. But you want to govern the world, so you hesitate."
Yan Chixia nodded again.
Gong Mengbi said: "But in my opinion, in governing the world, one must also follow one's heart."
Yan Chixia looked at Gong Mengbi with an expression as if she wanted to hear the details.
Gong Mengbi said: "By worshiping Liu Nan Gongmen, you are making your name known to the world and letting the world know your ambitions. The future may be difficult, but it may not be impossible to walk side by side with people of insight. If you hide your ambition, If you suppress your ambitions, suppress your true intentions, get involved with the wolves, and get involved in the quagmire, you may not be able to help yourself. Even if you want to get out in the future, you may not be able to get out."
"Brother Yan, after all, you are not just an official. Being an official is also a spiritual practice. If you go against your original intention, be careful of going astray and getting into trouble."
Yan Chixia's eyes gradually became clear after listening to the words, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Mingfu, for clearing up my doubts."
