Zhu Hongsan entered the house carelessly and saw that the two of them were sitting and drinking tea.

The one sitting on the left was Hou Fangyu. A middle-aged man in his thirties sat down. He was handsome and of a medium figure. This was probably Mao Pijiang.

Hou Fangyu was stunned when he saw Zhu Hongsan coming in, stood up and said angrily: "Why are you here? You are not welcome in this place."

Zhu Hong's three big radish faces were neither red nor white. He walked to a chair and sat down, saying, "Why did Brother Hou hold such a grudge? I remember you scholars said it well, do you have a lot of adults?"

Hou Fangyu really hated Zhu Hongsan to the core. His two limerick poems, "Young Master Hou should be elected in two dynasties, and you should be willing to talk about the fragrance of plum blossoms to peach blossoms" made Hou Fangyu a laughing stock among the scholars in Nanjing.

At this time, seeing Zhu Hongsan sit down, Hou Fangyu said, "What a shameless guy. If you don't go out, I will report to the official."

Zhu Hongsan said, "Do you think I'm coming to see your bad face? I heard that Bian Yujing is here, so I'm here to see Bian Yujing's style."

Hou Fangyu sneered and said, "You are a waste who doesn't read poetry and books, but can you come to appreciate the sound of Bian's piano?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "That's not necessarily true. It's said that beauties love heroes. What if everyone in Bian falls in love with me?"

Just as Hou Fangyu was about to speak, Mao Pijiang next to him said, "Brother Chaozong, let this guy stay and see what he has to do."

Mao Pijiang was very interested in the royal family who beat Qian Qianyi in the dynasty. He also heard Zhu Hongsan curse Hou Fangyu yesterday. He felt that this inconspicuous royal family had a lot of thoughts.

When Hou Fangyu heard his friend say this, he couldn't resist his friend's face. He had to sit there and keep silent.

Mao Pijiang looked at Zhu Hongsan and asked: "Lieutenant Fengguo seems to have a good view of the current situation. Why not discuss it with me?"

Zhu Hongsan knew that these guys from Fushe liked to talk nonsense and had no real talent. But when he heard Mao Pijiang say this, he felt that not showing any skills would make them underestimate him.

Zhu Hongsan organized the language and said, "I said yesterday that the boy scolded Brother Hou Shi a little bit unlucky. After all, you don't have much experience in governing the country, so the boy apologized to Brother Hou Shi here."

Hou Fangyu snorted and turned around and ignored Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan didn't take it seriously, and continued, "When I was in Huguang, I met a person, brother Chen Renzhong from Huating, Songjiang. I agree with his remarks."

Chen Zilong's name is well-known in Nanzhili. No matter whether it is famous or talented, or has status above the Four Young Masters.

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Mao Pijiang said in surprise: "Have you met Brother Renzhong? Tell me quickly and hear what kind of high-level arguments are there for Brother Renzhong?"

Zhu Hongsan looked at Hou Fangyu and said, "If you don't give me tea, you will have dry mouth and tongue. You really can't say it."

Hou Fangyu also wanted to hear Chen Zhilong's high remarks. When he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he snorted and asked the servant at the door to serve Zhu Hongsan tea.

Zhu Hongsan took a sip and praised: "No, good tea."

Mao Pijiang said, "I have also drunk the tea of ​​Lieutenant Fengguo. It's time to talk about my brother's high opinion."

Zhu Hongsan nodded, put down the teacup and said, "Brother Renzhong talked with me all night and expressed his wish to be practical. But I felt that the eldest brother Renzhong's high theory was still a bit short of it. I summarized it again, that is, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth."

As soon as this sentence was said, Mao Pijiang and Hou Fangyu were surprised. They knew that the royal family could not study, but they did not expect that Zhu Hongsan could draw such a high-level theory from Chen Zilong's words.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "This is also one of the reasons why I scolded Brother Hou Shi that day. It is true that you have a lot of knowledge, but if you don't have an effective combination of learning and theory, you will talk big about the world. You should first become a local official, look at the sufferings of the people and learn how to become an official, so you will find that the facts are different from what you think."

In fact, the fourth young masters in the late Ming Dynasty had ambitions to serve the country, but the literati and genius in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the arrogant, extravagant and lewd life really affected the ideas of some people who were determined to serve the country.

This also caused intellectuals to shout about family and country justice in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but when the Manchu Iron Hoof came, there was no way, and only the whole family could die and serve the court.

But you are an intellectual and a ruling class. You have received nearly three hundred years of support from the Ming Dynasty. When you die, you will be happy. What should you do if your family and country do? What should the people do? What should you do with your faith?

This is also the reason why Zhu Hongsan looked down on Donglin's shit stick. Take Qian Qianyi for example. When the Qing Dynasty came, he did not resist, but knelt outside Nanjing and welcomed the Qing Dynasty into the city in heavy rain.

Qian Qianyi, you should be a surrender faction, but when he went to the Qing Dynasty, he still thought about the Ming Dynasty and colluded with some rebels in Zhejiang at that time.

The rebel army asked him to come out to take charge of the overall situation, but Qian Qianyi was still afraid of death and refused to agree, which made the rebel army call him a traitor, and the Qing Dynasty also suspected him. Therefore, Qian Qianyi died in his later years very miserable.

Qian Qianyi is not as good as his prostitute, the concubine Liu Rushi. When Liu Rushi learned that the Qing Dynasty had entered the city, he advised Qian Qianyi to fall into the water and die, but Qian Qianyi actually refused to die on the grounds that "the water is too cold and not suitable to jump."

This really made Zhu Hongsan despise him to the extreme. Zhu Hongsan divided the scholars and officials of the Southern Ming into several types.

The first thing Zhu Hongsan admired was a scholar-official like Chen Zilong. Seeing the current drawbacks, he did his best to reform. In the end, he had no choice but to die for the Ming Dynasty.

The second type is a treacherous minister like Ma Shiying. No matter what, Ma Shiying made efforts to continue the Southern Ming regime. In the end, he was captured by the Qing Dynasty and did not surrender but went on a hunger strike.

The third type is those intellectuals who have no ability, but at least they know that they cannot surrender to the Qing Dynasty. They all have their families die. With Qu Shizi and Huang Daozhou, this is pretty good.

The fourth type is some of the people in Donglin who are afraid of death. There is nothing wrong with fear of death. If you want to surrender, you will surrender. Zhu Hongsan has no disagreement with these people. If you replace Zhu Hongsan, you will never be the one who is for the death of the Ming Dynasty. These people are represented by Hong Chengchou.

The fifth type is Qian Qianyi. You said you surrendered and still had sex with the rebels, which made both sides not please him. There are also people like Huang Zongxi who can live in seclusion and not go to officialdom. The Qing Dynasty asked you to study the Ming Dynasty and not go to the end.

However, Huang Zongxi showed a sense of righteousness on the surface, saying that he would not go if he was in poor health, but he was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would take revenge on him, so he privately recommended his student Wansi to study the history of the Ming Dynasty with him.

Then he remotely controlled Wansitong, and any words in Ming Dynasty that were not good for the Donglin Party were required to send a secret letter to Huang Zongxi, and then tampered with the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of person is really the person Zhu Hongsan hates the most. So there is a reason for fighting Qian Qianyi when he was in court in the morning.

Mao Pijiang was surprised when he heard Zhu Hongsan's long speech, but when he thought that what Zhu Hongsan said was very intimate. After all, there is a gap between ideals and reality. Thinking of Mao Pijiang, he was about to ask Zhu Hongsan why he came up with this point of view.

At this time, a maid appeared at the door and said, "Three young men, everyone in Bian is ready. Please go to the backyard to listen to the piano."

Zhu Hongsan immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I'm just about to see the style of everyone Bian. Brother Hou, please lead the way to your territory."

Hou Fangyu stood up, glared at Zhu Hongsan, and said to Mao Pijiang: "Brother Pijiang, please!" After that, Hou Fangyu led the way in front and led the two to the backyard show building.

This two-story building in the backyard is Li Xiangjun's residence. Today, Li Xiangjun invites Bian Yujing to play the newly learned repertoire for Hou Fangyu and Mao Pijiang.

Zhu Hongsan and the other two entered the small building, and the performance venue was set on the first floor, while the second floor was probably Li Xiangjun's boudoir.

Under the north window of the small building is the Qinhuai River. Sitting on a chair near the water corridor downstairs, you can see the fish wandering in the clear water. Standing in front of the window along the river upstairs, you can see the traffic on Wende Bridge and the high walls of Confucius Temple.

The incense in the building is fascinating, and the fish swimming in the Qinhuai River below appear and appear. Zhu Hongsan felt refreshed and felt relieved when he saw it. He thought: "No wonder Nanjing is full of desolate sounds. It turns out that it is really a bone-eroding poison in this environment. It seems that it is better not to establish a capital in Nanjing in the future. This place is too easy for future generations to turn into cartilage."
