After being silent for a long time, Chen Kan suddenly said to Fang Xiaoru: "Teacher, you have raised me for four years, and now the student wants to persuade you to be a minister who is like a fly and a dog. Do you blame me?"
Fang Xiaoru asked in return: "Yuansheng, do you think my teacher is one of those rotten scholars who refuse to change their ways?"
Chen Kan shook his head and said, "The students don't look like it."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru snorted dissatisfiedly.
Feigning anger: "What do you mean it doesn't look like it?"
"You brat, how dare you make fun of me!"
Then he raised his hand as if to strike, and Chen Kan subconsciously shrank his head.
But in the end, Fang Xiaoru just patted him lightly on the head.
Chen Kan's expression instantly changed from resentment to joy, and he said with a smile: "Teacher, please give me a poem as a repayment for your kindness in raising me over the past four years."
Fang Xiaoru was surprised and said: "What poem is so expensive and can be worth hundreds of taels of silver?"
Well......
Chen Kan was stunned, and the mood he had just brewed was instantly disrupted.
Doesn’t it all show that the literati of the dynasty loved elegance the most and hated things that smelled of copper?
Why is Fang Xiaoru so realistic?
As a great scholar, is this really good?
"Hey, the history of Ming Dynasty misled me!"
"You're kidding, why are you still standing there? Just read it, Master, listen."
"oh."
Chen Kan cleared his throat and slowly read out the poem "Bamboo and Stone" by Qing Dynasty poet Zheng Xie, which will be familiar to even children with hanging buns in later generations.
"Stand firmly on the green mountains and never let go. The roots are still in the broken rocks. They are still strong despite being struck hard by the winds from the southeast, northwest and northwest."
Chen Kan originally wanted to plagiarize Taibao's Lime Chant, but he was afraid that Fang Xiaoru would crash to death in the prison after listening to it.
So in the end I decided to plagiarize Zhu Shi.
Furthermore, Chen Kan also hoped that Fang Xiaoru could be strong despite countless hardships, as the poem said.
Regardless of any difficulties and obstacles, truly do something practical for the people of Ming Dynasty.
As soon as Chen Kan finished speaking, Fang Xiaoru pawed his hands and sighed: "What a poem!"
After finishing speaking, it seemed that it was still insufficient, and he added: "This poem is worth a thousand taels of gold."
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Teacher, the smell of copper on your body is simply unbearable."
Fang Xiaoru rolled his eyes and refuted: "You know nothing, how can a country develop without money? How can the army fight without money? How can people restore people's livelihood without money?
If you become an official in the future, don't imitate those rotten Confucian scholars who regard money as a thing of the past.
Otherwise, even if my master is dead, he can crawl out of the coffin and beat you.
Remember, money is a tool in your hand. If you use it well, it can make you do anything with twice the result with half the effort. If you use it poorly, it will beat you to death! "
Fang Xiaoru talks about money, and he also talks vulgarly, which sounds like he downgrades the word "great scholar".
But Chen Kan felt that such Fang Xiaoru was worthy of the name Wenzong in the world.
I would like to ask, how can a person who is truly capable of learning and doing profound things live an incomprehensible life?
Money is just a tool.
Chen Kan was sincerely convinced, nodded and said: "Student, please obey the instructions. Also, teacher, you will definitely live a long life."
It was only now that Chen Kan recognized Fang Xiaoru and that he was indeed qualified to be his teacher.
He is indeed qualified to point at Zhu Di's nose and scold him Yan Ni.
Fang Xiaoru smiled with satisfaction, then patted his butt and stood up, walked to the crack of the cell door and shouted: "Here comes someone."
Chen Kan came to Fang Xiaoru and asked curiously: "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "I have already decided to become the second minister, why are I still staying here? Of course I am going out to eat and drink hot food."
Hearing this, Chen Kan looked startled, then ecstatic.
"Wahahahahaha... My life is saved, I am rich and glorious, I am here..."
For a moment, Chen Kan's brows were filled with joy, and he couldn't help the smile on his face.
"What's going on?"
The two jailers came cursing.
But when they saw that the person calling them this time was actually the big shot in the cell, they quickly calmed down the impatience on their faces.
He asked respectfully: "What are your orders?"
Fang Xiaoru said loudly: "Go and tell King Yan that I, Fang Xiaoru, have surrendered."
Hearing these words, the two jailers had the same expression as Chen Kan, and they had only one thought in their minds: "It's developed."
Then one of them turned around and ran away in a hurry.
In fact, King Yan learned that Fang Xiaoru planned to surrender sooner than expected.
Almost less than ten minutes after Fang Xiaoru finished his statement, King Yan had already received the secret report. Yan Chenkan had successfully completed the task assigned to him by the prince.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he learned the news.
He grabbed Daoyan's sleeves excitedly and laughed, "Hahahaha... Sir, the big thing is done."
The hearty laughter almost shook the roof.
Dao Yan also cooperated with his hand and said: "Congratulations to the prince, poor monk, congratulations to the prince. From now on, all the scholars in the world will be loved, and all the talents in the world will be in the prince's circle."
"Hahahaha, it's the best, it's the best."
When Zhu Di heard this, he laughed heartily again.
Then he shouted in a loud voice: "Come, prepare the guard of honor. I will personally go to welcome Mr. Fang out of prison."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to ask Monk Dao Yan: "Sir, do you want to go together?"
Dao Yan shook his head: "I have gone to prison twice today, but I won't go this time. I congratulate the prince once again for recruiting a wise man."
After hearing that Dao Yan said he was not going, Zhu Di bowed formally to Dao Yan. He said: "This matter can be accomplished thanks to a lot of help, sir. Don't worry, sir, I will never forget your contribution."
"The poor monk doesn't have much merit, but Chen Kan is a bit beyond the poor monk's expectations. That's all. The prince can just go on his own."
"Then please help yourself, sir."
After saying polite words, Zhu Di couldn't wait any longer.
In prison, Fang Xiaoru said this.
This attracted all the guards from the imperial prison to surround the cell door, fearing that something had happened to him.
The cell leader even nodded and bowed to Fang Xiaoru and asked his subordinates to change the thatch in the room.
After a while, I felt that the walls of the cell were too dirty and might be an eyesore to my husband.
The jailers scrambled to clean the room.
In an instant, the dirty cell looked brand new.
Chen Kan raised his thumb in admiration.
The teacher is worthy of being a teacher. With just one sentence, all the guards in the prison recognized him as their biological father.
Looking back at myself, if I want to have a meal, I have to fool around there for a long time, threatening and intimidating.
Well, follow the teacher's example.
Chen Kan silently made up his mind.
"Hahahaha, sir, Mr. Fang, I am here."
A burst of laughter suddenly echoed in the long corridor.
The jailers paused for a moment, then respectfully exited the cell.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, Zhu Di appeared in front of everyone with a big mouth.
"Meet the prince."
The jailers fell to their knees on the ground.
Only Chen Kan and Fang Xiaoru raised their hands to Zhu Di and said, "I have met His Highness King Yan."
