Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 386: Looking Northwest! Looking Northwest!
Luoyang Prefecture School.

He Zheng was wearing a plain long gown, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a copy of "Mencius" tucked under his armpit. He stood up and hurriedly walked out of the school, thinking about something.

Suddenly, someone called out from behind, "Zijun! Zijun! Tomorrow is a day off, shall we go to the Longmen Grottoes together?
Anyuan, Mingyuan and others all said they wanted to go see the Yi River. It has rained heavily recently, and the Yi River has surged. It is a spectacular sight!"

He Zheng knew without even looking that it was that reckless guy from Xu Jing. He turned around, smiled, and said, "No, my dad told me to come back early. He must have something for me to do."

Xu Jing was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he knew that He Zheng's family business was always very busy, so he didn't want to delay other people's business, so he said, "Okay, let's go together next time."

He Zheng nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll arrange it next time."

"Okay! See you later!"

"See you!"

The two said goodbye in a hurry.

He Zheng hurried out of the school, then looked around and walked towards a secluded alley. He turned left and right in the alley and came to a green bamboo alley.

When you come here, the hustle and bustle outside is immediately isolated, as if you have entered a quiet world.

He Zheng walked into the Green Bamboo Alley. Someone at the entrance of the alley whispered, "The ground sank in the southeast. Did a vein of real gold emerge from the sand?"

Hearing this, He Zheng hurriedly said: "Point the sword to the northwest, and the mighty aura will break through the clouds."

As soon as this was said, someone at the alley entrance said, "Go into the side hall and get the latest court newspaper."

He Zheng was delighted when he heard this, and quickly bowed and said happily: "Thank you, sir."

The people at the entrance of the alley said, "The mountain cracked and the Yellow River turned from here. We are all comrades, so what is there to thank for?"

He Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Holding the flint in my hand, sparks from all directions will ignite for you."

The people in the alley laughed and said, "Great! Yan'an Prefecture needs young talents like you! I wish you a safe journey!"

He Zheng said no more, bowed, turned around and went inside, took out a court newspaper, hid it carefully, and then went out from another exit.

After returning home and eating a quick meal, He Zheng hid in his study to study carefully.

Under the light, he watched with gritted teeth at one moment, smiling at another, and his blood boiling at another. After reading it once, he watched it again, and soon the moon was at its zenith in the sky.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and said, "Zheng'er, it's time to rest. Studying also requires a balance between work and rest."

He Zheng quickly said, "Okay, Daddy, I'll rest now."

After saying that, He Zheng listened to his father's footsteps leaving, but did not turn off the lights. Instead, he continued to watch it several times.

When he lay in bed in the second half of the night, his mind was still working, and what was said in the official report was like someone shouting at him in his head!

"… Scholars of the world, listen to my words!

Today, something happened that is like a thunderbolt, shaking the foundation of China. It concerns our rise and fall, honor and disgrace, justice and survival. We must make it public to wake everyone up.

Xixia and Tubo, like vicious wolves and poisonous snakes, colluded with each other and approached the border of our Song Dynasty with great momentum.

Wherever their iron hooves went, the people suffered miserably, the fields became barren, the cries of grief shook the sky, and the country was on the verge of crumbling.

At this time of national crisis and precarious situation, the court should have raised its arms and called for the gathering of the people's strength to resist foreign enemies and protect our mountains, rivers and people.

However, the actions of those people in the court who are dressed in fancy clothes and appear to be righteous are outrageous and shocking.

In order to seek a moment of peace, they resorted to despicable tricks and secretly planned to hand over Yan'an Prefecture, an important city of the Song Dynasty, to Western Xia!
Yan'an Prefecture, that is the territory that our ancestors exchanged for with their blood and lives. It has gone through countless wars and carried the dignity and glory of the Song Dynasty. But now it has been abandoned so easily by the court. This is simply an unprecedented shame!
What is even more abominable is that the imperial court attempted to impose all the blame for the loss of national territory on Su Yun alone, wanting to portray him as a sinner of the world and silence everyone.

Gentlemen, take a look, throughout history, has there ever been such a foolish, incompetent, and crazy court?

Faced with foreign enemies, instead of thinking of good strategies to resist the enemies and save the country, they were busy calculating against their loyal and righteous people, abandoning their beautiful country at will, and even trying to frame others with false charges.

What is the difference between such behavior and those who sell out their country for personal gain and regard the enemy as their father?
We scholars have been reciting the classics of sages since childhood, and have our country and the world in our hearts. Seeing this scene, how can we not be furious and filled with righteous indignation!
Although Mr. Su Yunsu was feared by the imperial court, he always had a sincere heart and wanted to use the ideas of Suxue to innovate and survive, save the people from dire straits, and revitalize the country of our Song Dynasty.

His lofty ambitions and righteous actions are admirable!
However, the court treated them in such a despicable manner, which really chilled the hearts of loyal and righteous people all over the world.

Here, our Suzhou Society solemnly calls on scholars all over the world to open their eyes and see through the hypocritical and ugly true face of the court.

We must not be deceived by this foolish court again. We must stand up and fight for justice and for the future of our Great Song Dynasty.

Let us work together, hand in hand, support Su Yun, defend the northwest together, and restore the former glory of our China! ..."

The next day, he got up early, walked as if he were riding a car, and came to a place.

Summer in Luoyang City should be a lush and vibrant scene.

He Zheng, however, was filled with gloom and could not feel the vibrant summer at all.

The place where he was standing was the former site of the Su Society School. Looking at the closed door and mottled walls, he felt mixed emotions.

He has always been deeply influenced by Mr. Zhou Xingji of the Su Xuehui. In that school full of the sound of reading, he eagerly absorbed the nourishment of Su Xuehui and had firm faith in the ideas advocated by Su Xuehui of being practical and innovating to strengthen the country.

However, the situation suddenly changed and the Su Society was labeled as a traitor by the court. Overnight, the society was banned and the school was closed.

Many of his former classmates who shared the same ideals resolutely joined the Suide Army, the headquarters of the Suxue Society, and tried to continue the flame of Suxue there. But He Zheng did not follow them immediately.

He still had a glimmer of hope for the imperial court and thought things might turn around, so he transferred to Luoyang Academy to study, hoping to wait and see.

But reality was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering his last hope.

Western Xia and Tubo allied with each other and were eyeing the border of the Song Dynasty with great force.

The Song Dynasty court actually made a decision that was despised by the people of the world - it directly designed to hand over Yan'an Prefecture to Su Yun, wanting Su Yun to bear the responsibility for the loss of territory.

"What a ridiculous court this is!"

He Zheng's eyes widened with anger, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. The anger towards the court burned like a raging fire, followed by endless disappointment.

At this moment, the string in his heart that had always maintained his loyalty to the court completely broke.

"Since the court is so incompetent, I will go to the northwest to see if Yan'an Prefecture is really the future of China as it is privately rumored."

Xu Jing returned from Longmen Grottoes, full of joy. He rested for a night and went to school the next day. On the way, he suddenly saw a figure and shouted happily, "Zijun! Zijun!"

The student in the green robe was a little surprised for a moment, turned around and saw Xu Jing, then walked over with a smile.

Xu Jing was a little surprised because he saw the bag He Zheng was carrying.

"Zijun, where are you going?"

He Zheng smiled and said, "Going on a study tour, I feel like moving after being too quiet."

Xu Jing was surprised and said, "Are you crazy? You are going to study when the imperial examination is coming up soon?"

He Zheng nodded and said, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. I want to go out and take a look."

Xu Jing frowned, pulled He Zheng to the corner of the alley, and lowered his voice and asked, "Are you going to the northwest?"

He Zheng glanced at Xu Jing and said, "No."

Xu Jing looked anxious and said, "Don't try to fool me! There are new developments in the city today. I heard that the government's investigation into the Su Society has become more stringent. Many people who have had contact with the Su Society have been taken away for questioning."

He Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "In this world, black and white are reversed.

The Su Society spreads knowledge that is beneficial to the country and the people, so how can it be considered treason?"

Xu Jing looked at him worriedly: "Zijun, you have close contact with Mr. Zhou, so you have to be careful.

Now that the Su Xuehui has been banned and schools have been closed, those scholars have scattered like birds and beasts, and many have joined the Suide Army.

You...don't be confused."

He Zheng shook his head slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes: "I won't act rashly. It's just that the world is so big that it can't accommodate Su Xue, which is really sad.

Moreover, don’t you know that Xixia and Tubo jointly attacked the Song Dynasty, and the court actually designed to throw Yan’an Prefecture to Su Yun, making him bear the responsibility for the loss of territory? This is simply ridiculous! "

Xu Jing was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

He Zheng's expression became furious, and he lowered his voice and said, "The court has not thought of a strategy to resist the enemy, but has used such despicable means. Where do they put the people and the future of the Song Dynasty?"

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment and said, “If this is true, then such behavior is truly despicable.

But Zijun, you don’t really want to go to the northwest, do you? "

He Zheng looked towards the northwest with a firm gaze: "Well, since the court is so incompetent, I will go to the northwest to see if it is really the hope for China's future as the rumors say!"

Xu Jing was shocked: "Zijun, are you crazy? The situation in Yan'an Prefecture is complicated now, and Su Yun is regarded as a traitor by the court!
If you go, wouldn't you also become a rebel? That would be rebellion!"

He Zheng smiled bitterly: "Chengchuan, in this world, where is not a trap?

If I don't go, the doubts in my heart will be hard to dispel and I will never be able to let go of them in my life.

Su Xue advocates seeking welfare for the common people. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, I am willing to explore it. "

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xu Jing sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, I can't stop you.

Just be careful along the way. If anything goes wrong, you must find a way to get back."

He Zheng nodded, then hugged Xu Jing tightly and whispered in his ear: "Visit my father more often when you have time."

Xu Jing was a little surprised and looked at He Zheng, only to see tears in He Zheng's eyes, and he was suddenly speechless.

Xu Jing stared blankly at He Zheng's figure disappearing at the end of the alley. It took him a long time to react and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn He Zijun, you unfilial son, your father only has you as his son!"

He then shook his head and whispered, "Fuck you He Zijun, I really owed you in my previous life!

Well, since you have become a rebel, I am the only one who can take care of your father. However, I am afraid that if you come back in the future, your father’s property will no longer be inherited. Your father will probably have to marry again and have children. Hey, what is going on? "
