Huang Zongxi was originally planning to go home with the 'not bowing for five dou of rice'. The reminder of the sheriff not only did not make Huang Zongxi gentle, but instead made him stand up and step into the yard. There were two rows of guards standing in the yard, each of which was powerful and tall. Huang Zongxi was not afraid at all and walked straight to the main hall, but was stopped by the two guards at the door. The guards directly searched. Huang Zongxi was not angry yet. The people in the hall shouted: "Stop, how can you be arrogant and rude in the master's house!"

The guard immediately did not dare to move. Huang Zongxi entered the hall and saw a man in brocade robe looking at him with a smile. Huang Zongxi could see the extraordinary guest from the guard. He dressed in clothes and ceremonial clothes, and his etiquette uniform must be a title, but he pretended not to know and sat straight in his hands. His attitude was no different from that of the younger generation. Huang Zongxi asked: "I don't know what to call a distinguished guest. The family is crude and neglected the distinguished guest."

"I'm going to Li Hai, I've seen Mr. Huang, and I'm really rude to visit him. I'm really rude. Please don't blame me." Li Hai didn't care and said with a smile.

When Huang Zongxi heard the name of Li Hai, he raised his eyebrows. He obviously knew that this was the prime minister of the dynasty and the empire became kings. According to the rules, civilians would stand up to greet the nobles when they saw the nobles. However, Huang Zongxi deliberately pretended not to know Li Hai's identity and said, "The Li surname is a big surname, and it is also a national surname of the dynasty. I can recognize it. I am afraid that there are four or five Li Hai who you are. I wonder which Li Hai you are?"

"Bold, this is Your Highness, King Cheng!" the guard shouted.

Li Hai waved his hand and signaled the guards to retreat, then replied: "It doesn't matter which Li Hai is. What's important is that Li came here to discuss with the old man."

Huang Zongxi smiled coldly: "I am already a mountain villager, and I have any important matters to consider for you, so it's better not to say anything."

Li Hai didn't go around in circles, and there was no one around, so he said directly: "Mr. Li, who is in the will of the emperor, asks the old man to come out to help."

Seeing that Li Hai was clear, Huang Zongxi said in a tit-for-tat way: "When I was young, I learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and was a scholar and a senior official, but I could not be compatible with the new dynasty. I think the emperor would not let me teach Confucius and Mencius. After middle age, the Tartars entered the pass and slaughtered the nine states. I wandered around for half my life, and took it as my responsibility to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty as my own responsibility. It was a way of killing. For the new dynasty, it was a rebellion, and the emperor would not seek help from me with this matter."

This was so sarcastic that Li Hai was not upset at all, so he sat down and laughed, "The old man was joking, the world is the master, and the king is the guest. This is not taught by the sages of Confucius and Mencius. As for rebellion, the old man opposed the Qing Dynasty for half his life, and the emperor was the same. Although the gentleman and the emperor had never met, they were like-minded people. Speaking of which, they were very close."

Huang Zongxi was quite touched when he heard this. He did not expect that the Prime Minister of the dynasty, King Cheng of the Empire, not only read his own works, but also recited and quoted them. At this time, he also understood that Li Hai was prepared, neither coming to find fault nor asking himself to be an empty seat and become a "face official".

"Since King Cheng is here to give the emperor an order, please convey the emperor's imperial edict." Huang Zongxi stood up.

Li Hai shook his head slightly: "The emperor did not issue any imperial edict. This is not an order, but a request. The emperor and I want to ask the old man to serve as a bachelor's degree."

"Study the bachelor's degree? Why do you teach?" Huang Zongxi asked. He was sure that he was not accompanying the emperor to study.

"Do you know King Ying?" Li Hai asked.

Huang Zongxi's expression calmed down when he heard the word "English King": "Of course, all the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang know the name of the King of England, the eldest son of the imperial emperor, a young hero, a thug at sea, and a pacified enemy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Not only did they have great military achievements, but they were also dedicated to serving the people. In the past, civil strife in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were pacified, bandits in prefectures and counties were rampant, prices soared, and the people were living in misery. They were the British king's bandits outside, and they eliminated worms inside, so that Jiangsu and Zhejiang could stabilize as soon as possible..."

When talking about Li Jundu, Huang Zongxi praised it endlessly, which was beyond Li Hai's expectations. Not only Li Hai, but also the main officials of the empire all felt that Li Jundu was arbitrary, domineering, without leaving room for work, and without following the rules. However, in the eyes of feudal ministers such as Huang Zongxi, these are all the characteristics of a heroic lord and wise monarch.

"The emperor means to let the old man be the senator of the King of Ying." Li Hai said bluntly.

Huang Zongxi smiled: "What knowledge can I have to teach King Ying? I wasted my life and spent decades of running around and achieved less than the King Ying's achievements. If I can't do it, how can I still be a member of the King Ying?"

Although Huang Zongxi was refusing, Li Hai was 70% sure, because Huang Zongxi was not willing to refuse, rather than unwilling to teach. Li Hai said: "A book "Mingyi Daiwenlu" tells the ridiculous things of the system of all dynasties, and the empire was innovated, and the emperor worked hard to govern, reform and implement the new policy, which coincided with the thoughts in the book.

The monarchs of all dynasties have taken the interests and interests of the world out of me. I have taken the benefits of the world into myself and the harm of the world into others. I have taken the great personalities of the county and princes as the great prince of the world. But today, when the son is the master of the world, he is the guest, and he plans all over the world to make the plan of the world. What he does is to make the world benefit, and what he does makes the world relieve the harm. As the lord of a country, the emperor takes the initiative to change the monarch's power and govern the people's power, set up a cabinet, and use Li as the prime minister to fully handle internal affairs, which is to fulfill the ideal of Mr. Mr. Li. The son of the emperor is not all virtuous, but the prime minister can pass on the wise but not the son. The emperor agrees deeply. He also sets up a term system for important officials in the cabinet to prevent foolish ministers from being in power and traitors. Such a sage monarch is like-minded, and isn't he willing to come out to help?"

Huang Zongxi was a little moved when he was said. As a descendant of the gentleman of Donglin, he was a model of scholars and officials, and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. However, he also denied that the Ming Dynasty was the most monarchical and authoritarian dynasty in all dynasties. It is precisely because of this that Huang Zongxi criticized the monarchical autocracy in "Mingyi Tiewenlu" and put forward many "democratic" ideas, but all his thoughts came from criticism of the old system, and the new policy of the empire was practiced for more than 20 years. If the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese Empire could only choose one country as Huang Zongxi's ideal, then a more "democratic" empire would definitely win.

"You are right. When today's son is indeed wise, the new imperial policy and reform are also a blessing for the people. But I don't understand why the emperor wants me to be a scholar of the King of England..." Huang Zongxi said, and his voice suddenly stopped abruptly. He opened his mouth, as if someone had been choked. A thought suddenly arises in his heart - inheriting the throne!

The words Li Hai said today are all about Huang Zongxi's work "Mingyi Waiwenlu", and the word Mingyi comes from a hexagram in the "Book of Changes", which means: "Mingyi is flying and hanging its wings, and a gentleman does not eat for three days. When people go, the master has a word!" This shows that the word Mingyi refers to a wise man in a difficult position, and waiting for future generations to come to interview and accept. However, this book that refuted the feudal system itself was written to later monarchs. At this moment, the prime minister of the dynasty conveyed the emperor's oral orders and asked him to teach the eldest son to learn such "emperor's skills". No wonder Huang Zongxi thought of inheriting the throne, but Huang Zongxi's idea was completely wrong.

Huang Zongxi believed that Li Mingxun asked him to teach Li Jundu to better master the "imperial arts" and to inherit the throne in the future. However, Li Mingxun's original intention was to let Li Jundu realize the difference between the new imperial system and the systems of previous dynasties, realize that the empire needs a reasonable system rather than a wise monarch, and also realize that a wise monarch is only a temporary blessing for the empire. If he returns to the monarchy again, it would be a great misfortune for the empire!

Li Hai guessed what he thought from Huang Zongxi's expression change, but this time, Li Hai pretended to be confused. In his opinion, there was no need to let Huang Zongxi know Li Mingxun's intentions, he just needed to do it.

"Old sir, Mr. Huang, what are you thinking? Mr....... Mr.?" Li Hailian asked, but Huang Zongxi was already shocked. He woke up until Li Hai pushed him. Li Hai had to ask again: "Is the old sir willing to help?"

"Learning is important to practice and practice, and to be practical. I have been writing books for half my life. If I don't use them personally, wouldn't it be ridiculed by future generations? However, when I became an official, I will serve as the world rather than as the monarch or the people, not as one surname." Huang Zongxi said proudly.

Li Hai didn't care about Huang Zongxi's arrogance at all. At least he agreed. Li Hai praised: "What the old man said is Li's ambition. As the prime minister, Li was willing to worry and be happy for the people throughout his life. Like the old man, Li took the world as his affairs and his teachers and friends, and those who work for their own affairs are your servants and concubines!"

"What King Cheng said is very much!" Huang Zongxi finally smiled.

Li Hai hurriedly said that he didn't dare, so he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Huang Zongxi, saying, "Old sir, this is an introduction letter written by the emperor. Just hold this letter to Chengdu and you can perform your duties immediately. I will make arrangements for all matters on the way. You can leave at any time. Of course, there is no need to panic. There is time."

Huang Zongxi put away the letter and asked, "I heard that Sichuan is restored and the thieves of Wu are given the title of the head. Will the King of England not return to the capital?"

Li Hai smiled: "There are still stubborn bandits in the southwest, and the remnants of traitors still need to be suppressed by the British commander. In addition, there are many chieftains in the southwest, and all dynasties have had troubles, and several generations of detention have not been achieved. The emperor's intention is to let the British king prepare in the southwest and cut the mess with a quick knife!"

"Okay, I'll take office after I've dealt with my private affairs at home."

As it was getting late, Huang Zongxi sat at the desk in the study, stroked his pens and put them in a box aside. From the afternoon to the evening, he changed the candles three times, but he still didn't stop. He raised his head until the long-term worker brought the midnight snack.

The Huang family originally had many servants and maids, but with the establishment of the new dynasty and the implementation of the new system, and the four people were equal, the profession of servants disappeared. The empire's upstarts could still call their subordinates by signing long-term contracts, but the landlords and gentry would be labeled as enslaved people and liquidated. Huang Zongxi, under the name of a righteous man in the Qing Dynasty, no one dared to move, but he did not want to cause trouble and dismissed all servants. However, no one could do anything at home, so he hired long-term tenants to do their jobs, and several long-term workers took turns to take care of them, and the washing and sewing were also handed over to the female family of these long-term workers. Huang Zongxi's family was not many, which was convenient.

"Tell me, report to me if you have something to do..."

Huang Zongxi ate two bites of midnight snack: "Tell me."

"Master, Mr. Cheng has been waiting for you for a long time and wants to see you." said Changgong.

Huang Zongxi asked: "Didn't you tell him that the master is busy and has no time to see him and ask him to go back?"

"I said it, but Mr. Cheng didn't leave. He said he was a sheriff and his family was in the town, so it would be okay to wait for a while." The Changgong was a little embarrassed.

Huang Zongxi sighed and said, "Let him come in."

Soon, the sheriff walked in and bowed to him: "Congratulations to Mr., Mr., congratulations to Mr.."

"Why are you happy?" Huang Zongxi asked.

The sheriff smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of young man is appointing you that day, but I really attach great importance to it. I have been asking twice, and the carriages and horses have arrived, so I'll wait for you. The young man heard that you are going to get off tomorrow, so I came to congratulate you."

"There is no need to congratulate you. As a local guardian, as long as you can plead for the people, you will be the biggest congratulations to me. For example, we in Huangzhupu still do not even have a junior school. Should you plan for the people?" Huang Zongxi said.

The sheriff complained: Is it something that has to do with me? I have to go to the administrative yamen. I thought so in my heart, but I said, "It was hard to say before, but now it's different. Now Shaoxing Prefecture knows your business. If you report it tomorrow, I will definitely be able to approve it!"

"Okay, you go back." Huang Zongxi said in a daze.

The sheriff stepped down, Huang Zongxi put the candlestick in front of him, staring at the candlelight and pondered. Only when the candlelight was extinguished, people knew that it was not time that stopped. The long-term workers were staying aside without disturbing it. Until the sky gradually became brighter, Huang Zhupu began to become lively. First, there were laughter and then firecrackers. When the villagers learned about Huang Zongxi, they were both happy and kind-hearted, and did not have to waste time in boredom, and were also glad that there was someone on Huang Zhupu.

It was dawn, and the candle oil stuck the lamp holder on the table. Huang Zongxi was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. The people of the Huang family could block the guests from coming and disturb Huang Zongxi, but they could not stop the sound of celebration. Huang Zongxi raised his head, rubbed his red eyes, and said to the Changgong: "Ari, go and get the carriage, the master is leaving."

"Master, didn't you say that you have prepared a carriage for you and arranged it on the road?" The Changgong was puzzled.

Huang Zongxi said: "The master does not accept their favor. They say that the dynasty changes and the world becomes peaceful. The master wants to see whether it is true or false. He has to travel to Sichuan alone to see and hear it."
