I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Hearing this, Mu Zhen was slightly startled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"My friend is indeed a man of great talent who can produce 'Let the wind blow from east to west, south to north'."

Then he raised his hand and shook it beside his ear, and continued:

"I can turn to the Yanwang Mansion. After you are conferred the title, I will ask the Yanwang Mansion to fully support me and promote the School of Mind in the North."

"Xin Xue?"

Li Mu looked at the great scholar Mu Zhen in astonishment, with a puzzled look on his face.

At this time, the young scholar who had just guided Li Mu here served tea to the two of them.

Mu Zhen, the great scholar, picked up the tea, took a sip, and then slowly said:

"'The heart is rational, knowledge and action are unified' is the philosophy of mind created by my teacher. Our lifelong wish is to carry forward what my teacher has created. This is my only request."

After saying this, Mu Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Li Mu with burning eyes.

"Although I am a commoner, I have some reputation among the scholars of the world. If you can help me, I will sell my old bones to the Prince of Yan's Palace."

Li Mu was confused at this time, thinking:

"This is too big a leap. I read in the history books of this world before that although this world does not have Confucius and Mencius, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are dominant. You jumped directly to Wang Yangming. What happened that caused such a big difference in the degree of historical evolution?"

"Your Highness, do you disagree?"

Seeing that Li Mu was in a daze, Mu Zhen thought that Li Mu was unwilling to agree, and his tone was slightly displeased.

"As you said, I will do my best to help you."

Li Mu was interrupted and quickly agreed, but he was muttering in his heart,

"Anyway, I'm a fake. I promise you, but I don't know whether the Prince of Yan's Mansion will agree or not. I'll deal with you, and then I'll go back and practice my martial arts. If I meet someone like you who's hard to talk to in the future, I won't say a word if I can't help but fight."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen was in a good mood and talked with Li Mu about poetry.

Li Mu was so-so at reciting poems, but he really didn't know how to write them. After a while of making up stories, he felt overwhelmed. He thought if he continued, he would be exposed.

His eyes swept to the wheelchair under Mu Zhen, and then he asked,

"I see this thing under you, sir, is very exquisite, but I wonder what the principle is."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen did not refuse and said,

"When I was young, I often fought with others, which left me with leg problems. Now I have difficulty walking. Thanks to an old friend of the Mohist School who built this wheelbarrow for me, I now have the opportunity to continue traveling."

As he spoke, Mu Zhen stroked the assistant's wheelchair as if it were a treasure, with memories in his eyes.

"The subtlety you mentioned is that this chariot needs to be driven by internal force to move, and it is difficult for ordinary people to move it."

Li Mu said "Oh my God" three times in his heart:

"Internal force can be used in this way. Did I make a wrong judgment before? This is not martial arts at all. Wait, Mohism? Taoism? Confucianism? You are promoting the 'Xinxue' here, and there are still hundreds of schools of thought. No wonder a group of ministers can force the emperor to abolish the vassal kings."

Thinking of this, Li Mu took the opportunity of cooperation to ask the great scholar Mu Zhen about the affairs of the Baijia School.

As a result, Li Mu's worldview collapsed.

The recorded history of this world is only two hundred years, and everything before that is blank.

Since the beginning of recorded history, there has been constant war in the world, with many princes standing everywhere.

About one hundred and fifty years ago, one of the vassal states swept across the eight directions and unified most of the vassal states, leaving only some surrounding small countries and nomadic peoples, and then established the An Dynasty.

Emperor An was obsessed with seeking immortality and seeking immortals, which cost the people money and labor and made life miserable. Soon after, rebel armies rose up in various places in the name of eliminating tyrants.

The current Xing Dynasty was established thirty years ago when the current emperor and his two sworn brothers joined forces with major aristocratic families to overthrow the previous dynasty.

The two sworn brothers, one is the current King of Yan, and the other is the King of Jiang, whose fief is Jiangcheng.

The important officials in the court were naturally the best from the major families at that time.

Li Mu complained as he listened, saying that history always repeats itself in an amazing way.

Then he sighed secretly:

"Sure enough, you can't tame this old fox with just one poem. This old fox has been eyeing the Prince of Yan's Mansion for a long time. Given the importance the Prince of Yan's Mansion places on scholars nowadays, even if this old man puts forward more demanding conditions, the Prince of Yan will consider them."

Li Mu and Mu Zhen chatted until it got dark. When they left, they agreed that if they needed anything, they could just go to the academy in the south of the city to find him. Li Wu also officially became a disciple of the great scholar Mu Zhen.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that when he came in to talk to the great scholar, Xiao Wu had already followed the teacher back to the academy.

Li Ling'er really took Xiao Zhao shopping, when Li Mu returned to the shore by boat from the island in the lake.

Li Ling'er and Xiao Zhao just returned here.

In the carriage on the return journey.

Li Ling'er seemed to be in a good mood and repeatedly tried various pearl hairpins and jewelry on Xiao Zhao.

"You went shopping with your guards, aren't you afraid that I'll be killed?"

Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er with an unhappy expression, with a slightly complaining tone in his voice.

"If even the great scholar Mu Zhen can't protect you, there's no use for us to be there."

Li Ling'er didn't turn around to look at Li Mu. She continued to fiddle with the jewelry on Xiao Zhao, her tone somewhat nonchalant.

Only then did Li Mu realize that this cultured man was also a master.

Then he felt annoyed again. He should have asked more questions about martial arts today.

Then Li Mu felt that he had been frustrated by Li Ling'er and was not going to make trouble again. He smiled and said to Xiao Zhao:

"Did you have fun today, Xiao Zhao?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao was about to turn around, but Li Ling'er, who was fiddling with the hair accessories on Xiao Zhao's head, reached out and pressed his head back. He could only answer in a low voice:

"Happy, Miss San bought Xiao Zhao a lot of jewelry and ready-made clothes."

Li Mu glared at Li Ling'er, then looked towards the roof of the car, and spoke in a resentful tone:

"Yes, Xiao Zhao is very happy when I'm not with him."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao suddenly became anxious. He turned to look at Li Mu, ignoring Li Ling'er's hand, and said anxiously:

"No, Xiao Zhao would definitely be happier if the Master was by his side, but Xiao Zhao knew that the Master had important things to do, so Xiao Zhao didn't dare to disturb him."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and there was a faint hint of sobbing.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly comforted her and rubbed Xiao Zhao's head with his hand.

Li Ling'er slapped Li Mu's hand away, her tone slightly angry.

"Why do you always bully Xiao Zhao?"

Then he put his hand across his chest and threw a bamboo slip at Li Mu.

"Here, this is for you. Xiao Wu said it's what you wanted."

He turned around and looked at Li Mu, mockingly:

"I don't know what kind of magic potion you gave Xiao Wu, making him keep bragging in front of everyone, 'My second brother is very talented in writing. He created "Bamboo and Rock" in a short time. But my second brother is a low-key person. I'm afraid that more of his masterpieces cannot be appreciated by you.'"

Li Ling'er lowered her voice and imitated Li Wu's tone, looking very cute.

Li Mu's resentment also faded a lot. He looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

"I finally got the Bamboo Garden Record."
