The lady who is a miracle doctor arrives and makes the general blush and his heart beats

He said, "Mr. Kong, how about a bet between Wansheng and you. You accept Wansheng as your disciple. If Wansheng commits something wrong after his death, how about you personally come and end Wansheng's life?"

Mr. Kong smiled calmly. This boy was very calculating. If he agreed to the bet and accepted him as his disciple, he would agree to his idea of ​​becoming a disciple.

He is already old, and it is still unknown how many years he can live. Even if he can live a few years, if he takes Ye Zelin as his disciple, what he will see is that he is dignified and upright. Who knows if he is pretending? Even if he is not pretending, then who can guarantee whether Ye Zelin will change after his death?

People are the best at pretending.

Mr. Kong said: "I don't gamble."

If you don't want to bet, don't bet. Ye Zelin knew that Mr. Kong would not bet with him. He said that on purpose just to say what he said next.

Ye Zelin said: "Old senior, why don't you ask the late students why they need to take the imperial examination? After today, if you still don't want to accept the late students, then the late students will not bother you again."

Why did Ye Zelin take part in the imperial examination? Mr. Kong has never thought about this question.

Ye Zelin was born as a general, had military exploits, and was favored by His Majesty. He had a bright future, so participating in the imperial examination would not be of much benefit to him. Moreover, the Ye family has always followed the path of military commanders, and no one has ever taken the path of civil servants.

Mr. Kong sat back down and asked Ye Zelin, "Young general, you are young and have meritorious service. People in the world study and take imperial examinations, some for fame, some for profit, some for power, and some for Shi, what are you doing for?"

Ye Zelin bowed to Mr. Kong and said: "Senior, as you said, scholars all over the world participate in the imperial examination, some do it for fame and fortune, some do it for power, and some do it to improve their family status. I don't think so. Not for fame, fortune, or power, I took part in the imperial examination for the sake of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

Mr. Kong couldn't help but sneered, "Young General, this is a big statement."

He participated in the imperial examination for the sake of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. This was the first time he heard such words, and it was the biggest joke!

Ye Zelin ignored Mr. Kong's chuckle and said seriously: "The people of the Song Dynasty were not singing and dancing in peace, but also living and working in peace and contentment. However, in this bright world, there are still many corrupt officials who torture the people and plunder their wealth. I only hope that there will no longer be those like Cai Yuanchang who torture the people." The common people are harming the common people. If the officials are clear, the politics will be clear. If the politics is clear, the Song Dynasty will be clear. Only when the Song Dynasty will be clear, can the Song Dynasty be truly prosperous and strong. I want to be a sharp knife to remove the cancer and remove the cancer one by one. Excision. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me saying that I participated in the imperial examination for the sake of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

Mr. Kong Lao knew that the children of the Ye family were basically military generals, and said: "Your Ye family passed down the family through martial arts. It is your responsibility to defend the border against enemies and protect your family and country. The imperial examination is not suitable for you."

Ye Zelin recounted the Yuezhou case, especially Cai Yuanchang's various evil deeds, especially the murder of the upright and upright Cheng Wenbo, and then said, "I hope there will be no more wars and corpses wrapped in horse leather, and I also hope that there will no longer be Cai Yuanchang and his like who harm the people. Massacre innocent people. If war breaks out again on the border one day, as the son of the Ye family and a citizen of the Song Dynasty, I have the unshirkable responsibility to protect my family and the country. Now the border is stable and there is no war. The Ye family has three sons, and I will not be left behind to guard the border. I am willing to serve the Song Dynasty with my modest efforts. Whether the imperial examination is suitable for me does not matter what Senior Confucius says, but what I say counts."

Mr. Kong sighed softly upon hearing this, "How many people are addicted to fame, fortune, status, power and wealth and can't extricate themselves. I have seen many people who, from the beginning, vowed to guide the country, but in the end they did not do it for fame, wealth, status, power, and wealth. Forget your original appearance and embark on a road of no return.”

Ye Zelin said sincerely: "Senior, only by keeping your original intention can you not forget your original self. The most important thing in keeping your original intention is to keep the word. Whether you can keep it depends on whether a person can persevere."

Mr. Kong smiled faintly. It had been a long time since he had seen such a young man who was full of vitality and had lofty ideals. He was not seeking fame or fortune, but only for the justice in his heart, for the clarity of his heart, and was not afraid of hardships and ups and downs. , Cut through the thorns and move forward.

The old man said, "I have always considered fate when accepting disciples. Whenever my disciples take part in the imperial examination, they will ask, why do you want to take the imperial examination? Some people say that it is to honor the ancestors, and some people say that it is to become a master. Some people also say that you were the first to take the imperial examination for the sake of fame and fortune, and for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

He looked at this energetic and persistent young man, made up his mind to take a gamble, and said, "Remember what you said. If you are in the opposite direction from who you are today, don't say that you are an old disciple. I will disgraced you." I can’t afford this person.”

Ye Zelin was startled. What did Mr. Kong say? Are you willing to accept him as a disciple?

He was sure that he heard correctly, and he was instantly overjoyed, bowed his hands, and performed the apprenticeship ceremony, "Student Ye Zelin pays homage to Mr.

Mr. Kong smiled and said: "Other people are bowing down to me, so you just bow."

Ye Zelin could tell that Mr. Kong was teasing him, so he said, "Sir, he is my teacher. Once a teacher, he will always be a father. I will definitely treat him with the same respect and love as my father, and this does not mean kneeling down."

Mr. Kong said: "You will come to the private school for class in two days. You must arrive before a quarter of the hour. You are not allowed to be late."

Ye Zelin responded: "Students know."

Mr. Kong Lao said again, "You are not allowed to call me Teacher Laoxuan in class. You can call your classmates Mr. Laoxian or Xuexie."

Ye Zelin nodded, "Student understands."

Mr. Kong ordered the steward to send the new disciple out of the house. Ye Zelin paid his respects and left the Kong family with Side.

When the steward returned to the main hall, Mr. Kong muttered: "I hope I didn't hire the wrong person this time."

The steward said: "I will definitely do it. My master has always had excellent taste, and Ye Langjun has a very good reputation in Beijing."

Mr. Kong told the old steward: "If one day I am no longer here and Yushi does something wrong, whether intentional or unintentional, I will expel him from the school on my behalf."

The manager said, "I understand."

Ye Zelin and his wife left the Kong family and went to the house of Ling Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

Ye Zelin told Ling Shilang the good news that Mr. Kong agreed to accept him as his disciple.

Ling Shilang was so surprised that the teacher actually accepted the boy from the Ye family as his disciple! How did Ye Zelin convince the teacher, and why was the teacher willing to accept the boy from the Ye family?

He has always liked the Ye family boy, and now he is his junior brother, and he is also happy.

It's just that this little junior brother is two rounds younger than him. If he wants to call Ye Zelin junior brother, he really can't do it.
