Chapter 60 Apprenticeship

After Ma Mingfeng finished speaking, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell and no one spoke. After five minutes, someone cheered, and applause was thunderous.

Huang Daozhou's Gu Jingbubo's face also showed a satisfied smile at this time. In fact, it was more than just satisfaction? Even he could not have imagined that someone compared the wanderer who left his hometown to falling flowers. He expressed his love for his hometown and his love for his hometown with the help of a farewell poem, especially at a banquet where the hometown friendship was already very strong.

So Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "It is indeed a good poem. In the first two sentences, you form a vast sorrow of separation with the falling flowers, and use the falling flowers to express your life experience. This coincides with the background of your father's dismissal. However, the last two sentences use the falling flowers to be excessive, turning into spring mud to protect flowers. The sentence "I love my hometown but unyieldingly persistent and dedicated spirit. On the surface, it expresses my longing for spring, but in fact it is also an expectation for the future. Although you are in adversity, you are not The depressed will is not only an encouragement, but also an inspiration for many heroes and heroes to be indomitable and determined. The Grand Historian said that King Wen was imprisoned and performed the Zhou Yi; Confucius was miserable and wrote the Spring and Autumn Period; Qu Yuan exiled, and was prosecuted by Li Sao; Zuo Qiu was blind and had a Mandarin language; Sun Tzu was crippled and cultivated military tactics; Bu Wei moved to Shu, and was passed down by Lu Lan; Han Fei imprisoned Qin, and said it was difficult to be lonely and angry. Three hundred poems were mostly done by wise and sages. Isn’t this sentence exactly what those who are in adversity and unyielding will achieve the final achievement?”

Then Huang Daozhou said to everyone with a serious expression: "Today's poem is not only a work of Mingfeng Xianqi's own touch, but also can be used to encourage you. No matter what situation you are in in the future, remember to stick to the original intention of Tao. When you are proud, you should be like Fan Li, retreat bravely, and when you are frustrated, you should be like Fan Xiwen, worry about the world first, and be happy about the world later. When you are enterprising, you should not forget to retreat with success. When you are defeated, you should be Prime Minister Wen, and you would rather die than surrender!"

All the officials and new juren present stood up and said respectfully: "Tell me the lesson."

Huang Daozhou waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down. He sighed in his heart: "Although everyone seems very respectful and grateful, there are probably not many who can truly agree with and understand this sentence. However, this is expected. Except for Ma Shengmingfeng, all the students here are all mediocre, and it is better not to mention it. However, even Ma Sheng is not easy to share with each other. Although this son is outstanding, the use of this Taoist instrument has made me worry. In this way, I am afraid that in a thousand years, my Confucianism and Taoism will not exist. It is better for me to take the opportunity to accept him as a disciple, or to control him, so that he will not easily destroy the hearts of the people."

Huang Daozhou thought of this and said to everyone: "You must have something to know. This Ma Luanming Fengxianqi was a wise man. When he was marking the paper, Huang found that he was very talented, but he couldn't help but be young and wild. In order to punish him, I lowered his ranking and was selected as the second place. If it were a matter of talent, it would be him who was the undergraduate student. In fact, the reason why I came to attend the Lu Ming Banquet this time was for him, and I just wrote a poem on the topic of parting, which was to test his talent and ambition. As a result, you all saw it. This son was firm and had outstanding talents. It's a pity that there was no guidance from the famous teacher. If he did not give up, I would like to do my best."

Ma Mingfeng was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. Not to mention that Huang Daozhou had a great reputation in the court and the country, he said that Huang Daozhou's personal character and knowledge were enough to be his teacher. In this way, Ma Mingfeng could also be regarded as a member of the Fushe Society, that is, a member of the Donglin Party, so he naturally had great capital in politics.

What is even more surprising is that although Huang Daozhou is one of the leaders of Fushe, he has almost no contact with other leaders, and does not form cliques with them for personal gain. He can be said to be the cleanest member of Fushe.

In this way, even if someone is not conducive to the restoration of the society, Huang Daozhou can stay out of the matter. This is not because Huang Daozhou intentionally does it, but because of his nature. He is aloof and arrogant person on weekdays and does not want to do these mischievous things.

In addition to the above reasons, Huang Daozhou was also one of the late Ming people respected by Ma Mingfeng the most. When his idol proposed to accept himself as his disciple, Ma Mingfeng was naturally very happy. He immediately fell to the ground and respectfully called him "Teacher".

Seeing this, Huang Daozhou laughed and said, "I thought you thought I was a demoted person and refused to surrender. Okay, okay, I can accept a good disciple like you, so God treats me very much. Since the purpose of this today has been achieved, why should you and me be here? Go and have a rest."

Then Huang Daozhou took Ma Mingfeng's arm, pulled him and left.

"Me, I..." Ma Mingfeng smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, this teacher had such an anxious temper and looked down on others at all, even his colleagues included.

However, Ma Mingfeng could not go against the teacher's intentions, so he could only leave with him. However, when he left, he also said a few words of scenes, hoping to get together with everyone next time.

The others watched Ma Mingfeng and the others leave, but they were not angry at all. After all, Huang Daozhou's reputation was there. Not to mention a mere prefect, even Guizhou governors here, Huang Daozhou was qualified to look down on him. Even Yang Sichang didn't even see this person, and even Emperor Chongzhen dared to make a tough fight. What are these people in his eyes?

However, what makes everyone happy is that Ma Mingfeng seems to have much better contact with his teachers than his teachers. This man is young and successful, talented, and has a world-renowned teacher. His future achievements will definitely be limitless. With this fate, he will also be a good way to make friends with him in the future.

Not to mention how Lu Ming Banquet continued after Huang Daozhou and his disciples left, he said that Ma Mingfeng followed Huang Daozhou to the prefect's office and came to the other party's residence. He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

But when Huang Daozhou laughed, he laughed and said, "Since you have become my disciple, of course I have to teach you knowledge. Today I will teach you a good lesson."

"Ah?" Ma Mingfeng was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the teacher pulled him here to teach him.

But Huang Daozhou smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, I won't preach you. These theories are too profound and cannot be explained thoroughly for less than ten or eight years. Today I will mainly talk to you about the knowledge of being an official. In your impression, is the teacher very pedantic and can't be an official at all?"

Ma Mingfeng immediately shook his head and said, "The teacher is profound in knowledge and famous all over the world. How could he not know how to be an official? So the students think that the teacher is a moral gentleman, but he is not willing to join the filth, and he is even more unwilling to be charmed regardless of the interests of the world and the people. What the teacher insists on is the interests of the people in the world and the welfare of the descendants."
