Having said that, Xue Yunfei quickly returned to Kaifeng Mansion and presented the jade seal to the desk in front of Master Fu Yin. Master Fu Yin opened the cloth bag, carefully examined it to confirm that it was correct, then he looked happy, wrapped it up again, stood up and said: "Go, go Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
Xue Yunfei asked in a low voice: "Sir, why don't you let those people from Longwei Escort go first?"
Taoist Fu Yin said coldly: "Let's wait until we meet Mr. Lu."
Xue Yunfei said: "Didn't we agree that we would release him as soon as we find the jade seal?"
Mr. Fu Yin sat back and said slightly: "Do you think I don't want to? It's happening now and then!"
Xue Yunfei quickly asked: "Sir, what happened?"
Master Fu Yin asked, "What do you think of Bai Yutian?"
Xue Yunfei thought for a moment and replied in a good voice: "Excellent martial arts, meticulous thinking, and what's even more rare is that he is courageous and upright in situations, which is completely different from other people in the world."
Master Fu Yin asked: "What's the difference?"
Xue Yunfei said: "Ordinary Jianghu people are indifferent to worldly affairs if they are not keen on fame and fortune, while those who are concerned about worldly affairs are keen on fame and fortune. This person just takes advantage of the strengths and offsets the weaknesses. He is enthusiastic about worldly affairs and ancient ways, but is not keen on worldly fame and fortune. In time, he will surely become a generation A chivalrous hero.”
"Let's go and see the Prime Minister." Mr. Fu Yin stood up and walked out of the desk, took the jade seal and walked out of the room.
Xue Yunfei followed Mr. Fu Yin out of the government office, got on the carriage, and rushed towards Prime Minister Lu's mansion.
The wheels rolled forward without stopping. After less than half an hour, they arrived at the door of Prime Minister Lu's house.
When the soldiers of the government saw that it was the Master Yin of Kaifeng who was visiting, they went to report it without saying a word. After a while, they came back to send a message that the Prime Minister had invited him.
Xue Yunfei followed Mr. Fu Yin and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under the guidance of the Fu soldiers. He met Prime Minister Lu in an isolated house.
The two of them performed the proper etiquette toward the prime minister, and Lord Fu Yin handed over the jade seal. Prime Minister Lu opened the bag and looked at it. After confirming that it was the lost jade seal, he put on a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Sit down."
Lord Fu Yin sat down, Xue Yunfei did not dare to sit down and stood beside Lord Fu Yin.
Prime Minister Lu said: "Xue Yunfei, do you think Bai Yutian can be used by the court?"
Xue Yunfei leaned over and replied: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, after spending two days with him, I feel that everything this person does is beneficial to the court. If we can get rid of the free and casual temperament of ordinary people in the world, I'm afraid it can be done. For the use of the imperial court.”
Lu Yijian smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, how can you be afraid?"
Xue Yunfei replied: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I have been working as a catcher for so many years, and I have dealt with people in the martial arts to some extent. If a martial arts person in the martial arts world joins the imperial court and becomes a member of the government, all the martial arts people in the martial arts world will not only do their utmost to him." They despised them and described them as court hawks who would never interact with each other until old age and death. Therefore, for the so-called loyalty of the martial arts world, few people are willing to join the government and be used by the court."
Lu Yijian asked: "Why is this?"
Xue Yunfei replied: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, as far as I know, most of the martial arts people in the martial arts world have neither property nor skills. They rely solely on their brute strength to get by in the mountains and markets, and they inevitably do some illegal things. As a person, If a fellow martial artist becomes a member of the government, he will inevitably become enemies with his former martial arts friends. After all, as a law enforcer, the loyalty of the martial arts is insignificant in the face of national law and will definitely be gone."
Master Fu Yin said: "Cats and mice are natural enemies. There is nothing to say about this."
Lu Yijian was silent for a moment and said softly: "From what you said, it is impossible for Bai Yutian to be used by the imperial court?"
Lord Fu Yin replied softly: "Prime Minister, the people in the Jianghu are unruly and unruly, and their bad habits are hard to change. They force themselves to be used by the court, and there is no guarantee that trouble will not arise. As long as they do not use force to break the ban, commit illegal crimes, and harm the local area, they will be allowed to control the Jianghu. It’s not bad to live a carefree life.”
Lu Yijian glanced at Master Fu Yin and said with a smile: "Then you go back. I will truthfully report to the Holy Emperor the matter of recovering the jade seal."
Mr. Fu Yin stood up, took Xue Yunfei with him and said politely: "Thank you, Prime Minister!" He walked away for a few steps, as if he remembered something, turned around and bowed his head and asked: "Prime Minister, those people from the Longwei Escort Bureau, I don't know what I will do. Disposal?"
Lu Yijian stood up and replied: "Yu Xi has been recovered, and the matter has lost its priority. If you feel that the person should be released today, then let him go. If you feel that you can release him a day or two later, so that they can remember it for a long time, then Just provide them with good food and drink.”
Master Fu Yin said: "I'm sorry to leave." He turned around and walked away with Xue Yunfei.
The two of them came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and got on the carriage. Xue Yunfei asked in a low voice: "Sir, what does the Prime Minister mean?"
Master Fu Yin said: "What else can it mean? Wait until he sends a message to let people go."
Xue Yunfei was puzzled and asked: "Why is this? Not only did the people in the Longwei Escort Bureau suffer from this prison sentence for no reason, Bai Yutian also helped the court recover the jade seal. It can be said that he has made great contributions and no small faults. In this way My treatment of others cannot be justified either emotionally or rationally."
Mr. Fu Yin smiled coldly and sighed: "If there were really so many people in the world who were both emotional and rational, I wouldn't have spent ten years studying hard in a cold window and no one would recognize me, and then I would become famous in one fell swoop. What do you want to do these days? If you are ambitious and want to do something big or good, you must find a backer. There is no better backer than learning martial arts and selling to the emperor's family."
Xue Yunfei said: "But as a human being, you still have to pay attention to the most basic moral principles! You can't stand without faith. This is the word of a sage."
Mr. Fu Yin sneered and said: "You are just a child's idea. The sage said that the world is for the common good. When has it been done? There are many rich and powerful wives and concubines, and the delicacies are there every day. When you die, you have to be buried in a grand ceremony. Coffins are filled with gold, silver and jade. But what about the poor people? They farm every day, work all the time, have no food and clothing, and no money for medical treatment. Some people even die without anyone to bury them. The words of the saint can be removed by most people. It’s never too late to talk about selfish and beautiful thoughts.”
Xue Yunfei was speechless and asked coldly: "Those people from the Longwei Escort Agency really won't let them go today?"
Master Fu Yin said: "Go and tell Bai Yutian and ask him to go to Mr. Lu's house. If there is any explanation that makes sense, he can be released today if he is not safe. It is difficult for Kaifeng Fu Yin to do it, but I can I don’t want to have a hard time with the Prime Minister because these people will be jailed for a few days, and end up in a situation where they can’t do good things and can’t protect themselves.”
Xue Yunfei said: "But when Lord Fan Xiwen was the governor, he was never afraid of Prime Minister Lu?"
Taoist Fu Yin chuckled and said: "You! You just can't get rid of your childishness, and you don't want to think about how many more Fan Zhongyans there are in the world. He was demoted three times and re-employed three times. Every time he was demoted, people called him 'Guang' (brilliant)." Once. The first time he was demoted, he was called 'Aurora'; the second time he was demoted, he was called 'Yu Guang'; the third time he was demoted, he was called 'You Guang'. If it were in this house, let alone being demoted Three times, I am afraid that if I am demoted once, I will never be able to return to the court again."
Xue Yunfei said: "Sir, haven't you always said that Master Fan is a model of scholar-bureaucrats?"
Mr. Fu Yin smiled and said: "It is one thing to admit that Mr. Fan is a role model for scholar-bureaucrats. It is another thing to be able to become a person like Mr. Fan. Everyone pursues different things, and the way of dealing with others should also be different. . Master Fan was an alternative to the Great Song Dynasty, and he was highly admirable. If he were to imitate rigidly, the end would not necessarily be that good."
Xue Yunfei said: "Why? Since you have admiration, how can you not follow me?"
Mr. Fu Yin smiled and said: "Master Fan rarely has great integrity. He does not care about wealth, poverty, reputation, happiness or sorrow. Instead, he aspires to the world. He often recites to himself: "A scholar should worry about the world first, and then worry about the world. The world is happy and happy.'"
Xue Yunfei said: "Your Excellency, you really know Master Fan very well, as if you have been a friend for several years."
Mr. Fu Yin smiled and said, "How can I not inquire about something since I am so interested in it? I also know that he has drawn lots and prayed to God to seek his destiny!"
Xue Yunfei said: "Oh! I am willing to listen attentively."
Taoist Fu Yin said: "When Lord Fan was not yet prominent, he once went to the shrine to ask for lots and pray. He drew a lot and asked the interpreter: 'Can I be the prime minister in the future?'"
Xue Yunfei asked: "What did the interpreter say?"
Master Fu Yin replied: "The interpretation said 'No.'"
Xue Yunfei asked: "What happened next?"
Master Fu Yin said: "Master Fan asked for a fortune and prayed again. He took a fortune and asked the man to interpret it: 'If you can't worship the prime minister, then I am willing to be a good doctor. Is that okay?'"
Xue Yunfei smiled and said: "The interpreter must have said: 'No.' What happened next?"
Master Fu Yin said: "Master Fan sighed: 'Not being able to benefit the people is not what a man should do in his life.'"
Xue Yunfei said: "It is natural for a man to aspire to be a prime minister. Why does he also pray to be a good doctor? Isn't this a little too humble?"
Lord Fu Yin smiled and said, "Someone also asked him that way later."
Xue Yunfei asked: "What did Mr. Fan say?"
Lord Fu Yin smiled and replied: "Master Fan replied: 'How could it be! The ancients said that if you always make good use of people, you will never abandon people; if you always make good use of things, you will never throw away things. A man who is talented and learned certainly hopes to assist a wise king in governing the country. , benefiting the world, even if one of the people fails to benefit, it is like pushing him into a ditch. To benefit all people, only the prime minister can do it. Now I sign that I cannot be the prime minister, but I want to achieve the goal of benefiting all people. My dream is nothing more than to be a good doctor. If you really become a good doctor with superb skills, you can cure the illnesses of the emperor and your relatives, save the poor and lowly, and protect your health. Those who are among the people and can still benefit the people, There is nothing but good medicine.'"
Xue Yunfei smiled and said: "Master Fan really doesn't rejoice in things or feel sad about himself. If he lives high in a temple, he worries about his people; if he lives far away from the rivers and lakes, he worries about his king. He is also a generation of sages. If a person like this was born in the Song Dynasty, he can still Entering the dynasty to assist the government is actually a blessing to the people of the Song Dynasty."
After a long "Oh!", the coachman pulled the reins, the carriage stopped, got out, put the horse stool, and said softly: "Sir, we are here."
Xue Yunfei got off the carriage, helped Mr. Fu Yin down, and said: "Sir, I will go and inform Mr. Bai immediately."
Master Fu Yin said: "Go ahead. Remember to speak kindly and don't say any angry words."
Xue Yunfei said: "Yes, sir." He got on the carriage and headed towards Bafang Inn.
