Su Yi naturally didn't know anything about Sima Hu's perception in the previous chapter.

The thoughts in these people's heads are too complicated for Su Yi to understand.

Others don't reply because they are neither familiar nor know how to reply; Sima Hu's letter is forwarded to Mu Yan because Su Yi regards Sima Hu as a friend, and the friend is in a low period. It is a bit unnatural for him not to reply, but he really does not If you know what to do, leave it to a professional.

However, if you misunderstand, just misunderstand, it is not harmful to Sima Hu anyway.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, luxury prevailed.People like Sima Hu who "ask for hardship" are basically gone.So when Sima Hu first did this, some people thought he was suppressed too much, some thought he was mentally ill, and some thought he was grandstanding.

However, when Sima Hu was admitted to Jinshi and was promoted step by step, the current "seeking for hardship" has become a good talk, and it has become one of the typical cases of Confucian "self-cultivation".

Su Yi himself is a person who likes comfort, but he admires Sima Hu's current choice.He also mentioned this matter in his letter to Mu Yan.

Su Yi is very optimistic about Sima Hu. He thinks that Sima Hu is "putting to death and then reborn", "knowing shame and then being brave".If you can survive this pressure, you will be like a polished gem, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

Mu Yan was jealous.

Well, well, Sima Hu is really awesome.What about him?Is he not as good as Sima Hu?

Mu Yan thought to himself, should he also take the imperial examination?He wants to prove that he is stronger than Sima Hu.

After the emperor read Su Yi's letter, he took the time to get to know the "Mao boy" who was defeated and "expelled" in the internal struggle of this family.

The emperor also thought he was a good man.

Sima Hu was born in a family, talented and well-connected; if he doesn't get along with his family, he doesn't have to worry about strengthening the Sima family's power after being reused; he can endure hardships, endure hardships, and has a good heart.

If he can enter the palace examination, the essays in the palace examination are good, and he doesn't mind giving Sima Hu a first.

There are children of aristocratic families in Yijia, which can just reassure the hearts of the aristocratic families.

Then Mu Yan tentatively asked if he wanted to take the imperial examination. When the letter arrived, the emperor's forehead burst out with blue veins.

He Qing, what are you doing?Not convinced?What's so unconvinced?

While sending this letter to Su Yi, the emperor also gave Mu Yan a letter, asking Mu Yan to "work hard and stop thinking about things".

Even if it is Mu Yan, if he wants to prepare for the imperial examination, he has to devote himself to studying.Human time is limited, the emperor has a lot of things to do for Mu Yan, how can he have time to study for him?

What's more, the scientific examination is just a way to embark on an official career. Mu Yan has already gone very smoothly in his official career, so why bother?

Mu Yan knew that the emperor secretly opened the letter between him and Su Yi, but he didn't expect that the emperor would write to him because of this matter.

Soon after, Su Yi's letter also arrived.Like the emperor, Su Yi told him not to look for trouble.

Su Yi's persuasion direction is different from that of the emperor.The scientific examination is the way for a scholar to embark on an official career. Mu Yan, who is already a high-ranking official, should not compete with others for a place. In this way, the people who are squeezed out by him are so pitiful.

Mu Yan read Su Yi's letter, and the jealousy in his heart calmed down a little.The meaning of Su Yi's letter is to affirm that if Mu Yan participates in the scientific examination, he will definitely be named on the gold list.

So Mu Yan wrote back, saying that he was just joking, and explained that he just wanted to compare himself with the scholars all over the world.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.I'm really afraid that Mu Yan will pick his son to study and prepare for the imperial examination.He knew Mu Yan well, and knew that Mu Yan's previous letter was serious.

The matter of Sima Hu was just a trivial matter in the family of officials and eunuchs in the capital, and at most it was laughed at after dinner.

It is certainly something worthy of ridicule that a son of a wealthy family has become a "rough man in the mountains and fields".What's more, Sima Hu was a well-known noble son in Beijing before he was "exiled by the Sima family".

Many people who are not as good as Sima Hu have overflowed with gloating malice.

Although Sima Hu was "exiled" before, he still had money and friends, and his life was not miserable, so the person who made trouble was just a little bit sarcastic, and it wouldn't be too much.

But Sima Hu is like this now, people who don't know him don't know that Sima Hu is "asking for trouble", thinking that Sima Hu has really fallen into the dust, and even come to the small broken courtyard where Sima Hu lives to laugh at him.Some people who were still in contact with Sima Hu immediately broke up.

Sima Hu slowly polished his heart in this kind of ridicule and indifference.

In the capital, the most talked-about event recently is the aristocratic family, and the prodigal son of the Wang family, Wang Tin, has actually entered the court as an official.

Wang Ting is very famous in the aristocratic family.

He regards etiquette as nothing, indulges in singing and music every day, and goes wild with some celebrities who are unwilling to enter the court as officials.

It's not that Wang Ting has no official position, the emperor even gave him a real position before.However, Wang Ting got drunk every day and didn't go to court or go to work, so he could only be relieved of his real job.In order to save face for the Wang family, the emperor gave Wang Ti a false rank and let him do nothing with a white-collar salary.

This time Wang Tian suddenly entered the court as an official, which made people think that the Wang family was going to do something again.

But the old man of the Wang family was ill. Everyone in the Wang family looked serious and didn't seem to be happy.

What happened afterward was even more incomprehensible to the Jingzhong family.

One day, someone saw Wang Ting limping out of the Wang family's main house, and then coughed three times at the closed gate of the Wang family.

What exactly is going on?

Is there a conflict between Wang Ting and the Wang family?

But the people in the Wang family are very strict, and no one knows what happened in the Wang family.

Su Yi didn't know about it.But one day, the old man of the Wang family actually came to visit him in person.

Of course, the old man of the Wang family came to visit quietly in disguise, and it was Wang Boyuan who brought him to visit, which scared Su Yi very much.

Fortunately, Su Yi is used to pretending to be aggressive now, so he didn't show a frightened expression on his face.

Wang Cheng's face looked much older than when Su Yi saw him at Wang's house, as if he had suffered a big blow.

Wang Boyuan quietly exited the door, leaving only Su Yi and Wang Cheng in the room.

Su Yi felt that the atmosphere was too dignified, and he needed to do something to relieve his psychological pressure.

But Su Yi couldn't figure it out.

When Su Yi was thinking hard, Wang Cheng spoke first.

"Su Tianshi, is there a family that will last forever?"

Su Yi, who was distracted, thought for a while before answering: "The Kong family."

Wang Chengdao: "Why is the Confucian family long-lasting? Is it because of the sage Confucius?"

Su Yi said: "Because I respect Confucianism, because I don't seek power, and because I have both ways."

Wang Cheng was stunned.

Only then did Su Yi come back to his senses, thinking, what's worse, why did he say what was in his heart?

The Confucian family indeed has many loyal and upright people, but the Confucian family has not failed for generations. In addition to the usefulness of Confucianism, it is also related to the fact that the Confucian family has people who "know the current affairs" throughout the generations.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, when the dynasty changes, there are always descendants of the Confucian family who surrender to the current emperor, and then the emperor kills the descendants of the Confucian family who oppose him and exiles them, and gives the orthodox hat to the Confucian family who supported him posterity.

It's not obvious in this era, but the history of Su Yi's world is obvious.

For example, Kong Yinzhi, the third surname of Yansheng Gong in the Confucian Mansion at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he served as the prince Taibao and the prince Taifu, and his grace was as high as a mountain; as soon as Li Zicheng entered Shandong, he made people enshrine the Dragon Throne of Yongchang Emperor of Dashun Kingdom; Li Zicheng did not After a long time, he was defeated. When the Qing army came, he immediately presented the "First Entry Form", saying that in the Qing Dynasty, "the mountains and rivers and the sun and the moon meet each other, and the country is the same as the universe." , Inheriting the great kindness of the generations, now celebrating the prosperity of the new dynasty, admiring the learning, tending to falter and fear the future", "respectfully set up incense cases, read the holy edict", and ordered the clansmen to shave their heads.

At this time, "the body is hair and skin, and the parents dare not damage it, which is the beginning of filial piety." The Han people who have been taught by Confucius and Mencius for thousands of years resisted fiercely. .

In the past, there were sage ancestors as a protective umbrella, and people who knew current affairs continued to emerge in the future. Of course, the Kong family can continue to prosper.

Of course, Su Yi didn't mean to look down on the Kong family.Because every family has scum.It is rumored in later generations that the surname of Kong is 400 million, and there are people who "know current affairs" in the Kong family, and there are also people who "know current affairs".

Some of these "ignorant of current affairs" Confucians fought to the death, some died for their country, and some escaped from the world.It's just that in order to make a good use of the signboard of "respecting Confucius", every emperor can always find one or two scum from the Confucius family, and label them "Yansheng Gong".

During the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor provoked the internal struggle of the Confucian family and supported the "Yansheng Gong" who returned to the Yuan Dynasty.Kong Zhu "resigned the title", but his return was not smooth, and the North and South Kongs were divided.

If Confucius knew what happened to future generations, he would not know whether it was joy or sorrow.

But although this kind of thing has not happened yet, similar things have happened to the Kong family.

As the patriarch of a great family, as the current imperial tutor, Wang Cheng is certainly not someone who respects Confucius blindly.He respected the sage Confucius, not the entire Confucius family.

When the Kong family ascended the throne as the current emperor, the former head of the Kong family was unwilling to "submit".After some internal struggles in the Kong family, the head of the Kong family of this generation is not the son of the previous generation.He led the people to return to Shun as the emperor.

As for the heirs of the former head of the Kong family, God knows what kind of treatment they received.

The emperor doesn't care, and scholars in the world don't necessarily care.

Wang Cheng thought to himself, if the Kong family is like this, how about the Wang family?

The Wang family did not have the gold-lettered signboard of the sage Confucius to protect themselves, even if they could have a long and prosperous life, but what is the relationship between the later Wang family and his Wang Cheng?Maybe he is still the enemy of his descendants.

Just like the direct line of the Kong family now, and the direct line of the Kong family in the Han Dynasty.

"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Wang Cheng suddenly figured it out.

Among his sons, he was most worried about Wang Ting.Now that Wang Ting himself is about to stand up, even if he doesn't agree with the Wang family, as long as the Wang family doesn't fight against the emperor, it is impossible for Wang Ting to harm his own family.

And will the royal family fight against the emperor?Not that stupid.

As for the grandson, leave it to the son to teach.He's old and doesn't want to worry so much.

"The Celestial Master is really transparent." Wang Cheng sighed.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Su Yi, and before Su Yi could react, he turned and left.

At this time, Wang Cheng seemed to be missing something, but also seemed to have something more.But at least, his spirit has returned.

Su Yi blinked.

Forget it, he's used to it.

The author has something to say: During the inheritance of the title of Duke Yansheng, there have been many disasters of seizing the family and destroying the family.And what happened to the descendants of Confucius cannot be blamed on Confucius.Who cares about their relatives?It's like the North and South Confucianism split, but there are loyal people in the North and South Confucianism, and there are also scum.Therefore, I think it is biased to criticize Confucius because the descendants of the Confucian family are scum.The orthodoxy of the Confucian family is also an internal matter of the Confucian family, so there is no need for others to comment.The Kong family themselves recognized it.

Of course, kneeling and licking the entire Kong family because of Confucius is also a very abnormal thing.
