    Hongwu twenty-nine years, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.  .  .  As the annual Lantern Festival, Poyang County today is more lively than the previous few days.  If it was just the streets and alleys decorated with lights and colorful decorations a few days ago, now it is full of people coming and going with joy.  Early in the morning, the girls Chunmei and Qiu Ju ran to Guanxiang Pavilion to find Liu Wenyang, muttering that they wanted to go shopping in the evening, guess lantern riddles, and watch fireworks.  Liu Wenyang was feeling unwell and refused the dinner.  This made Chunmei and Qiuju very unhappy.  But the one who was even more unhappy was Tong Mingyue.  Originally, since he was young, he loved the excitement. He originally planned to go out for some fun tonight, buy some delicious and fun things, and then take them home to his sister.  But I didn¡¯t expect that the young master would get sick, let alone that he wouldn¡¯t go out.  Seeing that the star was distracted all day long, who was Liu Wenyang? He immediately understood what this kid was thinking and said with a smile: "If you want to go out, just go out by yourself. You can also accompany Chunmei Qiuju. That's it."  "Stop making a long face and acting miserable!" "Master, how can you say that? I came with you to take care of you. How could I run out to play alone when you are sick?" Mingyue Xian said with great righteousness.  "This is what you said, don't blame me when the time comes." Liu Wenyang smiled and ignored him.  Liu Wenyang was recuperating in Guanxiang Pavilion, but Chun Shisanniang secretly arranged people to welcome the arrival of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.  But before Zhu Yunwen arrived, the first thing that appeared was an outstanding person, Zhu Yunwen¡¯s teacher¡ª¡ªFang Xiaoru!  This man is young and smart, he can write poems at the age of 6, and he is very talented.  Called "Little Hanzi", he went north to Jining with his father and brother when he was 15 years old.  Inspirational study.  And long.  Inherited from Song Lian.  Well respected.  In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Wu Chen, a scholar of Dongge University, and others recommended Fang Xiaoru to the capital. He was ordered to write two poems, "Ganoderma lucidum" and "Ganlu" at Fengtianmen, which were very suitable for his purpose.  When giving a banquet, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately asked people to tilt a few objects to test their behavior. Fang Xiaoru straightened them up and then sat down.  Zhu liked his dignified manner.  He was knowledgeable and expected to assist his descendants in the future, so he was sent back to his hometown with generous gifts.  In the next ten years, he studied and wrote at home, writing "The Examination of the Book of Changes" and "The Essential Statements of Officials in the Song Dynasty".  When he was 31 years old, his enemy Yu Shu was involved in a lawsuit. He was linked to Xiaoru by the official, and his family was registered with the government. He was taken to Beijing for questioning.  Zhu Yuanzhang saw the filial child's name and released him with a special name.  Because Fang Xiaoru advocated benevolent government.  Moralization first and then political punishment; while Taizu advocated governing the country with violence and using severe punishments and laws to control the officials and the people.  So he didn't have Fang Xiaoru to put him to good use.  In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, he was recommended again and was awarded the professor of Fu Xue in Hanzhong. He was deeply appreciated by King Xian of Shu and hired as the prince's teacher. It can be said that as a famous Confucian in the Ming Dynasty today, Fang Xiaoru's reputation can be said to be at the peak of the sky.  The old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the officials below, were all courteous to him.  When Fang Xiaoru first arrived in Poyang County, he was placed in an inconspicuous courtyard by Chun Shisanniang and the local government.  This courtyard was originally built by a dignitary of the previous dynasty as a place for his son to study, but now it has become a very good reception area.  Just because the courtyard style is simple and elegant, and it is unique in every aspect, it is the place where scholars all over the world live.  "Reading seeds" like Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but fall in love with a place like this, and knew that the local officials were interested.  As a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu stationed in Poyang County, Chun Shisanniang must of course come to pay homage to this legendary "Emperor's Master" in order to build a good relationship and gain connections when changing dynasties in the future. ????????????????????????????????????????????? Chun Shisanniang was sincere in her fists, but Fang Xiaoru was very unkind to Jin Yiwei.  Especially as an orthodox scholar who upholds the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, he dislikes institutions like Jinyiwei that hide in dark corners and are murderous.  Therefore, Fang Xiaoru repeatedly declined Chun Shisanniang's visit, which can be said to be very disrespectful.  Although Chun Shisanniang knew that people didn't like her, or she didn't like her identity as a Jinyiwei, she still had to meet Fang Xiaorugui as the emperor's master, and this time she was the pioneer on behalf of the emperor's grandson Chong.  In order to arrange the reception work in the future, Chun Shisanniang tried her best to get through this stubborn joint.  what to do?  Suddenly, Chun Shisanniang thought of Liu Wenyang.  Today, the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the art of divination. Whether it is the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the vassal kings, grandsons, or even the people of Ming Dynasty, they all believe in fate.  There are even masters of numerology serving as officials in the court, and most of this numerology comes from the "Book of Changes".  Fang Xiaoru considers himself an orthodox scholar, and of course he has a lot of experience in the "Book of Changes", but he has always regarded divination and fortune-telling as a trivial, miraculous and ingenious thing.  When he was teaching the emperor's grandson his studies, he also rebuked this technique of observing physiognomy three or four times as a "poisonous technique" and should never be taken seriously.  So Chun Shisanniang focused on this point and told her that she knew aMaster of physiognomy, I wonder if Professor Fang dares to meet with him?  !  There is a lot of skill in this. If Chun Shisanniang said in a pleading tone that she wanted Fang Xiaoru to meet with the physiognomist, Fang Xiaoru would refuse based on her special status; but Chun Shisanniang's tone was aggressive, how dare she  The two words were particularly important, causing Fang Xiaoru to immediately respond, "Why don't you dare, but bring the so-called master forward."  Liu Wenyang would never have thought that he would be used as a pawn by Chun Shisanniang while he was sick.  It was not until Chun Shisanniang came with a smile and said that a business came to her door that Liu Wenyang needed to work hard that Liu Wenyang knew that he would not be able to rest today. ?¡­ ?The Chun Shisanniang didn¡¯t tell Liu Wenyang who she wanted to meet, and Liu Wenyang didn¡¯t ask.  Mainly because Chun Shisanniang paid 500 taels for the viewing fee.  Liu Wenyang is a money-minded guy. As long as you can afford it, he doesn't care whether you are a monkey or a pig.  Coming to the courtyard with the words "Yingxue Pavilion" hanging on it, Liu Wenyang met the famous Fang Xiaoru in a study room.  Fang Xiaoru was sipping tea, sitting upright on a chair, looking old-fashioned and unsmiling.  Liu Wenyang feels that no matter who this guy is, he should be directly offered to the altar. Damn, the airs are too big.  Drinking tea without even looking at yourself.  What is this called?  Don¡¯t squint your eyes?  Still looking down on people?  !  Liu Wenyang was extremely upset, and on the surface he still wanted to look modest and polite, clasped his fists in a bow, and said, "Liu Wenyang, I have met this old gentleman!"  .  Seeing Liu Wenyang speak, Fang Xiaoru glanced at Liu Wenyang with his eyelids. His first impression was not bad. He looked quite elegant and elegant, not the kind of person with a deer head and rat eyes.  Liu Wenyang didn¡¯t know that he had taken advantage of his handsome appearance. Otherwise, he would have been treated to tea by this great god.  "Are you the legendary Xiaoliu Shenxiang?" Fang Xiaoru looked at Liu Wenyang and asked.  Liu Wenyang clasped his fists again, bowed and said, "You can't be worthy of your respect. It's just the people in the world who flatter you and spread rumors." Seeing him like this, Fang Xiaoru's impression of him improved threefold. He can know how to be humble, and a child can be taught.  "I am also very curious about Bagua numerology, and I know a little bit about "The Book of Changes", but I wonder if you can tell me what are the signs of heaven and earth, and what are the phases of heaven and earth?"  Liu Wenyang pointed out a difference. This old guy is too good at talking.  Liu Wenyang tenderly wished the old guy a stroke soon in his heart, and said: "The phenomena of heaven and earth are the changes in weather, everything in heaven and earth, clouds, fog, thunder and lightning, as well as spring, summer solstice, frost and winter solstice, these are all symbols of heaven and earth!" "As for the phenomena of heaven and earth!"  The relationship between heaven and earth is the relationship between heaven and earth and its ministers. If the monarch is virtuous, the world will be peaceful; if the monarch is weak, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, there will be peace and chaos in heaven and earth. " Liu Wenyang said so much in one breath.  , I said in my heart, this is not an imperial examination, right?  Who would have thought that the old guy suddenly burst into laughter, and then said to Liu Wenyang: "But Er'er, can you still be praised as a god?" His words were full of contempt and contempt.  Although Liu Wenyang was very well-educated, he couldn't bear being ridiculed by the other party. He couldn't help asking: "Then what is the image of heaven and earth and the appearance of heaven and earth according to what the old gentleman said?" Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything, just picked up the  He took a drop of tea with his fingernail, then wrote "one" on the table, and then said to Liu Wenyang: "This is the image of heaven and earth and the appearance of heaven and earth!" Liu Wenyang was depressed, "Nima, are you kidding me?"  !  (To be continued)
