Chapter 10 Chapter 4 Luangdian High School

Life is like a white horse passing by, and the years are fleeting.Life seems to be to watch a leaf from budding to falling to the ground, a cicada from birth to old age, and an epiphyllum from budding to withering.Su Zi said: "The guest also knows that the water and the moon are similar. Those who pass away are like this, but they have not tasted the past. Those who are full of emptiness are like that, and the death does not change. If you look at it from the change, the heaven and the earth have never been the same. For a moment, if you look at it from what remains unchanged, both things and me are endless!"

Unrestrained and heroic like Layman Dongpo, his words always enlighten the confused people.However, even if there is high talent and magnanimity, there will also be untimely sadness.History is like an old man loaded with countless memories, he is deep and silent.He has witnessed countless hot-blooded heroes overcoming difficulties, riding horses and raising dust, and unifying the country with their extraordinary talents and strategies, sharpness and domineering; And faith Feng Hou Baixiang.The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, the winner will be immortalized in the history books, and the loser will be lost in the wind and smoke.

The so-called exhaustion of thousands of sails is because I have witnessed hundreds of boats and thousands of sails competing on the rivers and thousands of rivers and mountains, so I am willing to send a small boat and become a riverside fisherman alone.Life is a process, from ordinary to complex, and then from complex to simple, only after experiencing it is not a regret.A person who is calm is because he has had turbulent waves before, so he is calm and calm.A person who is meaningless is because he has had it before, and it is meaningless if he has it. If he has never had it, then why is it meaningless.The hermits we see are all people who have taken off their robes and lost their fame. They have tasted all the flavors of the world before returning to the countryside, with mountains and rivers as companions, with spring flowers and autumn moons, and a pot of turbid wine for the rest of their lives.

Nalan Rongruo thinks he is a hero and a poet.Although he is not a utilitarian in the world and does not admire fame, he also has lofty ambitions.He is not willing to be a gravel in the sea, as small as a speck of dust, nor does he hope to leave an immortal monument on the land of the Qing Dynasty.Just wanting to write down a real stroke on the pages of life is not to live up to the life bestowed on him by God. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty, who had been influenced by Han culture for a long time, gradually accepted and loved this atmosphere.They gradually put aside their swords, picked up pens and inks, went shopping in the park, and played with antiques and arts. They were no longer those savage men who only knew how to gallop on the battlefield.They built gardens in lands with beautiful mountains and rivers, replaced small tents with pavilions, and replaced farming, fishing and hunting with rich clothes and fine food.The past nomadic life, forests, seas and snowfields, and desert customs have been replaced by classical courtyards, misty rain of apricot blossoms.Time can change everything, deep-rooted thoughts and habits.A person originally has no hometown. When you live in a place for a long time, you will be infected by the local culture and customs, and then create a life and work there, and that will become your hometown.

Emperor Kangxi advocated Confucianism as the basis, and tried to use Confucianism to influence the Han people and eliminate their psychological barriers to the Manchus.Although Nalan Rongruo's body is full of blood, deep down in his bones, there are elegance and feelings that many Han people can't match.He deeply regretted that he failed to participate in the palace examination last time. These days, he reads by night by night, not only to collect historical materials and compile new books, but also to gain fame by familiarizing himself with stereotyped articles. In the fifteenth year of Kangxi's reign, Nalan Rongruo took the imperial examination and entered high school in one fell swoop, and was admitted as the seventh in the second class.His achievements are among the best for scholars born in Manchu.When Nalan faced the court, he was familiar with the analysis and reasoning, which was almost higher than that of some old Confucians in the court.Kangxi liked this young talent very much.In the eyes of civil and military officials, Nalan is an eagle soaring with wings, and the imperial court must have a vast sky for him to roam.

The Mingfu Garden was once again decorated with lights and festoons, and it seemed that all the happy events started with Nalan.He has become the pride of the Nalan family, even Nalan Pearl who is the prime minister is not as honored as him.His extraordinary, his outstanding, not only his noble status, but also his outstanding appearance, elegant demeanor, unrivaled talent, and too many temperaments that others cannot have.Such a person who combines the advantages of the world is pushed to the highest state of life, but has a coldness that ordinary people can't understand. It is extremely cold at the heights, this is the deepest experience Nalan has experienced since these days.But when a person is bored in the well, it is inevitable to lament the narrowness of life and the loss of having nowhere to display his talents.Since ancient times, many people have struggled in contradictions, constantly surpassing themselves in order to be perfect, but there are also many people who can't make themselves enlightened and detached in their entire lives.So smart as Nalan, what will happen?

Whenever Nalan was alone and depressed, his wife Yimei would be there to comfort him.A cup of tea, a cup of light wine, and the sound of a zither, the lingering warmth always counteracts his chill.Nalan felt that although life cannot be mediocre, fame and fame are just a passing cloud to him.In this life, he just wants to stay in the Hanlin Academy to study books, search for ancient sites, and find some lost civilizations; get together with his beloved wife, Qin Se, to roam the mountains and rivers every day, hold hands and look at each other, and never leave; Wine gossip, not elegant. But the road of life is not how you want to go, it will be arranged according to your thoughts.Just like a tree, it will not be what you want it to be, it will be what it will be.Everything in the world must follow its own laws, and you may be able to predict the outcome, but the process, sometimes, will always catch you off guard and impossible to guard against.Everyone has to go through mountains and rivers before they can reach the vicissitudes of life. During this long process, there will be many involuntary things.

Talented as Nalan, honored as Nalan, and conceited like Nalan, but there is also unspeakable sorrow.When all eyes were on this talented man, he accepted the emperor's favor with all his expectations.However, Emperor Kangxi, who admired him so much, gave him an unexpected official position.Nalan Rongruo was not retained to study in the Hanlin Academy, and continued to be associated with writing, but became Kangxi's third-class bodyguard.Maybe Kangxi liked him too much, and wanted to keep him by his side to be his arm at any time, maybe it was just a momentary interest, no matter what the reason was, he didn't need to take Nalan's thoughts into account, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

The guards next to the emperor sound like such a dignified title, they can accompany the emperor all day long and see the emperor's demeanor.This is an achievement that many people hope to never achieve in their lifetime.Guards are called "shrimp" and "jurisdiction" in Manchu.At the beginning of Nurhachi's rise, those guards were mainly served by servants, responsible for many miscellaneous affairs such as security and internal affairs.Later, most of the tribal leaders, clansmen, and descendants of Xunqi took up this position, but the status of servants and servants did not change.They are still just a pawn of the emperor, placed on the chessboard in the palace, at the mercy of the emperor.Not only can they not grasp the fate of winning or losing, they don't even have the right to choose black and white. How can Nalan, who only laughs at princes, be willing to be a pawn.

This goshawk, which has endless turmoil, lost its freedom, which meant that its wings were broken.How can an eagle with broken wings fly even if it has lofty ambitions?With his outstanding talent, Nalan took the fame lightly and unrestrainedly.But he is tired of his current position, despises wealth, and disdains official career, the suppressed emotions in his heart, the all-powerful emperor naturally has no way of knowing. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were 60 first-class guards, with the title of the third rank; 150 second-class guards, with the title of the fourth rank; and 270 third-class guards, with the title of the fifth rank.In the Kangxi period, with the strengthening of imperial power, the guards were divided into imperial guards, Qianqing gate guards and Ouchi guards.The imperial guards and the guards of the Qianqing Gate were selected by the emperor himself, and there was no fixed quota. Nalan was selected as a guard, which was also in this situation.Therefore, he is just one of many chess pieces, there is no difference between white and black.

The red shadow wets the quiet window, thinning out the spring light.The sun is setting outside the flowers after the rain.Who has seen thin shirts and low buns?It also makes me think. The eyebrow spectrum is to be completely deleted, don't draw autumn mountains, the morning cloud gradually enters the world.Mo Xiao's life is nothing but a dream, and a good dream is hard to come by. The purple jade has turned the cold ashes, and the heart is completely wrong, and the sparse curtains still hang down every other year.Half a roll of sunset and red rain come in, when swallows come. Shut out the prosperity of the world, even if it is infinite scenery, but after all, he will let him down and abandon him.He needs to give himself the courage to embark on a lonely road alone. He doesn't need much understanding or warmth, just a simple purity.Nalan is like this. When he was lonely and difficult, he mixed thousands of thoughts and tastes into ink and wash, and drank and tasted alone with a few clear poems.
