I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"I'm already investigating. I have received the letter from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The situation is quite serious this time. The black hands behind this scene may be in collusion with the forces of the Jianghu. This is also the most taboo thing for the court."

Han Feizi once said: Confucianism breaks the law, while chivalry breaks the law with martial arts.

Of course, this remark is biased.

After careful study, Han Feizi studied under Xunzi, and Xunzi is one of the famous representatives of Confucianism. Although his reputation is not as good as the two great sages of Confucius and Mencius, he can be regarded as the first half sage and the last sage.

In other words, Han Feizi studied Confucianism and should be a member of Confucianism.

However, if it is only because of this, Han Feizi may only be called Han Fei, and he is not qualified to add a "zi".

Who can be called a child in history, which one is not a saint, a semi-saint?

Such as Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Guiguzi, Mozi, Sun Tzu

They respectively represent the highest level of academic schools such as Confucianism, Taoism, Zongheng, Mohism, and military strategists, and are the founders or leaders of each academic school.

After that, Han Feizi read a lot of books, collected legalist thoughts into Dacheng, and finally became a representative of the Legalist school. Later generations sorted out his works and compiled them as Han Feizi.

The contention of a hundred schools of thought is certainly a thriving thing, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

This is like a big family. When there are too many people, each has their own thoughts and behaviors. It is difficult to form a unity, and quarrels or even fights will inevitably occur.

Not to mention the people of the world.

For those in power, it is not a good thing not to be able to unify the thoughts of the people in the world.

All of your academic schools want to be number one in the world and to make the people obey your ideas, so wouldn’t the imperial court become a display?

kill!

Thus, there is the story of the first emperor burning books and burying Confucianism.

Although this act was brutal, it ruined many classic theories and led to the decline of contention among a hundred schools of thought.

But its merits cannot be dismissed.

At least successfully unified the world, established a relatively perfect and unified legal system, the most important thing is the unification of characters, currency, weights and measures, etc.

It has made inestimable contributions to promoting the development of history, and in a sense it has achieved the unification of the world.

After this ordeal, Confucianism seemed to have been hit hard, but it survived in the end, and it was the leader of a hundred schools of thought.

Not only did it not "disrupt the law by Confucianism" as Han Feizi said, but it also became the foundation of governing the country.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some desolate people are cynical, or deliberately write some inciting and demagogic chapters out of some dark psychology.

However, such people are only a minority after all, and they cannot make any big waves.

It's fine if the imperial court doesn't take the truth seriously, once it is true, the world will become much cleaner with a light pinch.

After that, Buddhism seized the rare opportunity to take advantage of the situation to rise, and finally formed the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

Although there are conflicts among the three factions, they also communicate and learn from each other, maintaining a delicate balance.

However, what Han Feizi said about "a chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban" has really become a heart disease for the imperial courts of all dynasties.

Jianghu has no boundaries, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The city is better, there are officers, soldiers, policemen and the like guarding it, which is convenient for management.

But how big is the world?

There are countless sects, martial arts families or families of all kinds, large and small.

Under normal circumstances, most of the imperial courts and various forces in the rivers and lakes of the past dynasties will maintain an unspoken rule: well water does not violate river water.

The imperial court will not easily send troops to various sects in the lake.

Similarly, various sects in the Jianghu generally will not take the initiative to provoke the court, so as not to break the balance between the two sides.

No matter how strong the imperial court is, they generally don't care about those heroes of the rivers and lakes, lone rangers, etc. After all, the imperial court also has many masters in command.

I'm afraid of those big sects, the more influential the sect, the more closely they will be watched by the court.

Because these sects may echo in the arena.

Once the momentum is strong, the number of disciples of each sect is quite large, enough to pose a threat to the imperial court.

This is the ban on crime by force.

Throughout the dynasties, the disputes between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have almost never been interrupted, but the scales vary.

Therefore, regarding the incident of Gu Ming being assassinated by a killer, the emperor believed that it was an act of collusion between the ministers of the DPRK and China and the forces of the rivers and lakes. Naturally, Longyan was furious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't say the cruel words of Zhu Jiu Clan.

This is already tantamount to treason!

Chapter 2: The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, I am haggard because of Yixiao

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this case is investigated by the Emperor himself, I believe the culprit behind the scenes will be found out."

"Yes, although it is inevitable that there will be fights in the court, but looking for a killer secretly is too shameful."

"Forget it, today we are here to congratulate Mr. Gu, so we won't mention these unhappy things."

"Yes, yes, say something happy"

Next, a group of people changed the subject and tried to talk about some happy things.

At the same time, Gu Ming also prepared a special gift: that is, his collection of poems, which were presented to several officials who came to congratulate him.

Chen Zibai couldn't help laughing and said: "Nephew, you can give me a few more copies. The one you gave me last time was borrowed by an old friend, haha, or I will come back."

"Since Mr. Chen likes it, is there any reason for the younger generation not to send it away?"

Gu Ming was generous, took out ten poetry collections and handed them to Chen Zibai.

After chatting for a while, He Yongliang and all the people from the study came one after another, as well as all the squires who received the post also came to congratulate.

Now, Nie Hongshu and Gu Ming didn't have time to sit down and chat, and went separately to meet or welcome the guests to their seats.

Nie Xiaoqian, Yuer, Du Shiniang, Su Ling, Lin Xiaoshan, Liancheng and others were in charge of greeting the female relatives.

For a time, the house was full of guests, singing and laughing.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Du Shiniang also prepared a song and dance.

After all, she used to be one of the oirans of Jiaosifang, so she was naturally good at singing and dancing.

Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement that night.

The cups come and go, the zither sings together, the singing and dancing of birds and swallows.

Under the booing of the crowd, Gu Ming personally appeared on the stage and presented the song "One Cut Plum" which was sung at the Enrong Banquet.

"One cut the plum blossoms are so delicate, the branches are inserted obliquely, and the eyebrows are slightly dotted.

Lightly smile and dance with a low back, He Shizun, clap your hands and greet each other"

After singing, he went to the table and took Nie Xiaoqian's hand, and announced in public: "Thank you, all adults, relatives and friends, and all the folks and elders for coming to the banquet tonight.

Of course, here I would like to thank my father-in-law, thank you for your old man's favor, and betrothed the jewel in your palm to your son-in-law.

Here, my son-in-law would like to express my sincere thanks to you! "

After finishing speaking, Gu Ming respectfully bowed to Nie Hongshu.

Nie Xiaoqian also saluted her father.

"A good son-in-law doesn't need to be polite"

Nie Hongshu's voice was a little choked up, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

Originally, there was a lot to say, but at this moment, there is no way to say it.

"Here, I would like to announce another happy event to everyone. On the [-]th of next month, I will officially marry Xiaoqian. At that time, I would like to invite everyone to have a glass of wedding wine early."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd suddenly boiled.

Although this was expected, the wedding date had not been set before, but now that it has finally been settled, everyone of course wants to express their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Master Gu, and Miss Nie!"

"Congratulations in advance to Mr. Gu and Ms. Nie on their newlyweds, and wishing them an early baby!"

"Congratulations to Lord Nie for being officially promoted to Lord Taishan"

All of a sudden, there was a turmoil of people, and all kinds of congratulations were heard endlessly.

"Thank you all, thank you all, Mr. Nie is not good at words, so I won't say much thank you, it's all in the wine"

Nie Hongshu drank one cup after another, and he didn't know how many cups he drank.

drink to the end

They could only be carried out of the restaurant.

But I can understand it, after all, I am happy.

After sending his father-in-law home to settle down, Gu Ming and Nie Xiaoqian returned to the courtyard.

As soon as the two arrived home, Ying Ning rushed over affectionately.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, get some water to wash your face"

Gu Ming drank subconsciously.

Nie Xiaoqian was speechless: "Gu Lang, didn't Yu'er stay in the county government office?"

"Uh, look at my memory"

Gu Ming patted his forehead embarrassingly.

Because the father-in-law drank a little too much, he took the initiative to let Yu'er stay in the county government office to take care of Liu Ma.

"I'm going to fetch water. You smell like alcohol, but I don't know how much you've drunk."

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but grumble.

"There's no way, there are so many people, we can't take care of one and lose the other."

Gu Ming did drink a little too much tonight, it can be said that he does not refuse anyone who comes.An ordinary person would have been lying down long ago, but fortunately he has a strong physique and can resist it.

It's just that, the strength of the wine is rushing up, and the mind is still a little dizzy.

Although Nie Xiaoqian also drank a few cups, but the effect was not great, but her face looked extremely flushed.

After a while, Nie Xiaoqian fetched water and gently wiped Gu Ming's face.

After wiping their faces, the two hugged each other and sat in the courtyard, enjoying the night breeze, listening to each other's heartbeats, and feeling each other's body temperature.

"Gu Lang"

"Ok?"

"Gu Lang, I want to sing a poem for you."

"Okay!"

Gu Ming turned his head and looked at Nie Xiaoqian quietly.

After that, Nie Xiaoqian began to chant softly: "Standing in the dangerous building, the wind is gentle, looking at the sorrow of spring, and the sky is gloomy.

In the afterglow of the grass-colored smoke, there is no one who can say nothing.

It is intended to drunk the madness, to sing the wine, and the music is not tasteless.

The belt is getting wider and I don't regret it, and I am haggard because of Yixiao. "

After listening, Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched the tip of Nie Xiaoqian's nose: "I thought you were going to recite your poem, but it turned out that I wrote it."

"But I like this poem because you wrote it to me in your letter."

Gu Ming's heart was soft, and he couldn't help rubbing Nie Xiaoqian's face lightly: "If you like it, I will attach a poem to every letter when I arrive in the capital."

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up: "Really? Keep your word?"

"Bold little lady, how dare you question me! What should I do?"

"My lord, the daughter of the people has been wronged, um."

Just try the case well, really.

After a long time.
