Chapter 40 (6) The Hermit Comes Out of the Mountain

It is said that Lu Liuliang, the man who conspired against him, had been dead for a full year when he got the news of his rebellion. Can the dead also rebel? Some people are dead, but they are still alive; some people are dead, but their writings are still alive... This is the case of the great Confucian Lu Liuliang.Although he died, the text he wrote calling on the people to rise up and seize power by arms was unfortunately read by a hermit in Hunan. This old hermit is over fifty years old, and he is currently hiding in a mountain village in Yongxing County, Hunan Province, working as a private school teacher.Because of Cain's high morals and outstanding academics, people at that time called him Mr. Putan.

It is said that after Mr. Putan ate and drank enough every day, he took his disciple Zhang Xi and sat down under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. When he saw a businessman passing by, he greeted warmly: Come, come, sit under the shade of the tree. , cool off... Where did the guest come from? Did you hear any news? The guest replied: There is no good news, but recently the emperor killed his own father, slaughtered his mother, cut up his brother, tore up his younger brother, made a lot of money, killed many people, and drank too much. Drinking wine, playing with a large number of women, killing loyal ministers when they see them, and promoting them when they meet treacherous ministers...

Mr. Putan was shocked: How could the emperor be so foolish? Guest: Your Majesty just wants to mess around, and if you don’t, what do you do when you’re an Emperor? Mr. Putan: ...that's right. It is implied in the book that this guest is from Guangxi.At this time in Guangxi, and in the whole of China, rumors have spread about Emperor Yongzheng's ten hobbies: seeking his father, forcing his mother, killing his brother, butchering his brother, being greedy for money, fond of killing, drunken, lewd, loyal, and flattering. , is well known. Yongzheng made a mistake in that he should not have exiled the cronies of the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother to Guangxi, and let them form a tourist group to go on the road together. With great fanfare, he made a big government work report and widely exposed the secrets of the court.

Now, even Mr. Putan, who lives in seclusion in the mountains and doesn't care about world affairs, knows about these things. Only the person involved, Yongzheng, is still in the dark. After learning about these gossips, Mr. Putan asked again: What else is there? And...there is a Yuegong, the twenty-first grandson of Yue Feiyue, who is the reincarnation of the roc bird beside the Buddha of the Western Heaven, who is used to fighting.Zhang Bao in front of the horse, Wang Heng in the queen, straddled thousands of miles on a rouge horse, with a star-chasing sun-chasing python gun in his palm, this time he was guarding Xi'an and defending against the golden soldiers.But he never thought that the golden soldier had already sat on the golden palace, so the faint emperor repeatedly issued edicts, Xuan Yuegong went to Beijing, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.Yue Gong knew the intention of the emperor to harm each other, so he never dared to obey the imperial edict.But I'm afraid that it will be useless if it continues like this, and sooner or later the father-in-law will inevitably be murdered by the faint king.

Mr. Putan jumped up: No, we scholars are the backbone of the society, and it is the responsibility of each of us scholars to never allow the recurrence of the unjust prison in Fengboting.Ah Xi, go to rescue Yue Gong immediately, there must be no mistakes. Student Zhang Xi was dumbfounded: Teacher, it’s a long way from Hunan to Xi’an... Mr. Putan was furious: Ah Xi, why are you reading the books of sages?I set up my heart for the world, for the life of the people, for the peace of the world, and for the sages to inherit the knowledge... But if you go to Xi'an, you will be haggling over every detail, how can you be so worthless for the world? Open Taiping?

Zhang Xi: I will drive...but I really have no money, not even travel expenses. Mr. Putan: Teacher, how did I teach you before?Send the letter to Garcia without any excuses, never delay in doing things, thinking determines the way out, there are always more ways than problems, Zhang Xi: ...Then I might as well sell the house and land. According to historical records, Zhang Xi sold his family's real estate and private land, braved the wind and snow, and embarked on a long journey to save his father-in-law.Mr. Putan personally sent his disciples to the entrance of the village, and wrote a poem saying:

Don’t forget Yandan here last year, The water is still cold today. After the victory of the uprising, Both husband and wife returned home. In the poem, Mr. Putan took off his vest and wrote on it: Zeng Jing died here. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. do it.
