"But there is one thing I do understand: no matter how big the matter is, it is not greater than justice and morality. If Your Majesty wants me to do something that goes against justice and morality, then I can choose not to do it. When I was studying, there was one thing that left a particularly deep impression on me."
After hearing what his old housekeeper said, Han Yu also became interested and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"The master was still young at that time. Once, he read a poem loudly. I had not heard of that poem at that time, but I felt that the master read it very powerfully. The master at that time was in high spirits, which left a deep impression on me. I have not forgotten it until now." Han Fu said with nostalgia in his eyes.
"Is there such a thing?" Han Yu asked with a smile, "Tell me about it."
"At that time, the master was holding the poem in the pavilion of his old home. One night, the master was holding the book and reciting it loudly.
Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to pursue righteousness,
Only when one has fulfilled his righteousness can he be utmost benevolent.
What do we learn from reading the books of sages?
From now on, I will have no regrets.'"
Listening to the old housekeeper's words, Han Yu felt a little dazed.
He naturally remembered this passage clearly, which came from "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Wen Tianxiang" by Aluto of the Yuan Dynasty.
This sentence was hidden in Wen Tianxiang's clothes and was found on his body after his death.
After hearing this poem, Han Yu also remembered that it was a rare misconduct in his student career.
At that time, I was full of ambition and wanted to emulate Wen Tianxiang.
So many years have passed, I almost forgot what happened back then.
Looking up at the old butler, Han Yu smiled and said, "It's rare that you still remember."
Han Yu's eyes were filled with nostalgia, for that was his lost youth.
The old butler Han Fu smiled and said, "Of course I remember. The master was at his most heroic at that time."
After hearing Han Fu's words, Han Yu also laughed.
He understood what the old butler meant. The old butler was telling him that since he didn't know how to choose and no matter what he chose, he should just do what he wanted. Do it according to justice and morality, and at least he would have a clear conscience.
Han Yu stood up, walked to the door, stretched out his hand and gently opened it, looked up at the moon in the sky, and began to recite:
"Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to seek righteousness,
Only when one has fulfilled his righteousness can he attain the highest level of benevolence.
What do we learn from reading the books of sages?
From now on, I will have no regrets!"
Although his voice was not loud and no longer as unrestrained as when he was young, Han Yu's body was unusually straight as he stood in the moonlight.
Butler Han Fu stood behind Han Yu and watched this scene with a look of excitement in his eyes.
This is how the master of my family should be, this is how the master of my family should be like!
After a while, Han Yukong turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, as if all his troubles had disappeared.
Han Yu smiled and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed. You shouldn't go crazy when you're old. You should go to bed early too. You're older than me, so live a few more years and stay with me for a few more years."
They have been friends for a lifetime, so Han Yu's words came from the heart.
Han Fu smiled and said, "Okay, I will serve you for a few more years."
The master and servant smiled at each other, and then went to rest.
This night, many people strengthened their faith, this night, many people found their direction, this night, it seemed like nothing happened, but this night, a lot of things happened.
When the sun rises, the sunlight fills the Forbidden City. Against the backdrop of the sunlight, the golden glazed tiles appear even more brilliant.
Zhu Youxiao stood expressionlessly on the steps, looking at Chen Hong who was rushing towards him from a distance, and said with a smile, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, Qi Jin sent over a petition." Chen Hong said quickly, "It was sent over yesterday, but I didn't see it last night. Someone brought it over this morning, and I quickly delivered it to Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao reached out and took the question book, gently opening it.
The content of the petition was not complicated. It just hoped that he would be allowed to transfer some old soldiers of the Qi family army.
Speaking of this matter, it was Zhu Youxiao's negligence.
It has been such a long time, and I have not done anything about this matter, but this is what I should do. It is okay, and there are no other problems.
Qi Jin must have been worried these past few days, and he probably took this test with all his might.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, then handed the petition to Chen Hong. "Approved. Tell Qi Jin that he can transfer 10,000 men. If there aren't enough men, let him select according to the standards of the Qi Family Army and give him 10,000 places."
The so-called selection according to the standards of the Qi Family Army is because the Qi Family Army has strict requirements for selecting people.
The people selected from the Beijing camp this time were not actually Qi's army. They were just the elite of the army, and they were trained according to the methods of Qi's army, so Qi Jin was just training the troops.
This time, Zhu Youxiao gave 10,000 places and asked Qi Jin to select according to the standards of the Qi Family Army, which was actually equivalent to expanding the force by 10,000 people.
This is another large sum of money, but it is not something to feel bad about.
