    Qin Kan walked very slowly and lightly as he walked out of the forest. He looked at Li Dongyang with a smile as he walked. Deep in the dense forest behind him, more than a dozen guards with swords loomed.

    Li Dongyang still had tears on his face. When he saw Qin Kan approaching, he wiped them away with a little embarrassment, then stroked his beard and tried to pretend to be calm.

    "Qin Kan, when did you come? Why didn't I see you just now?"

    Qin Kan pointed to the dense forest behind him and said with a smile, "Xiaguan was hiding in the forest just now and was watching you say goodbye."

    "Now that you're here, why don't you say goodbye to Mr. Liu in person? After all, he is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards. How is it unbecoming to hide in the dark?" Li Dongyang glared at him unhappily, with a reproachful tone.  There was a little more doting that maybe even he didn't notice, as if he regarded Qin Kan as an ignorant junior.

    Qin Kan touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm being sneaky, it's actually that my reputation has filled the streets. If I come out, Mr. Liu Xie will definitely scold me. I'm too thin-skinned."  , I don¡¯t have the hobby of sticking my head out to get scolded.¡±

    Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly: "Are you thin-skinned? Qin Kan, there is nothing wrong with being humble, but it is wrong to be so humble that you open your eyes and tell lies. Since you entered the capital, you have tricked Wang Yue, the ministers, and  Shouning Hou, even I have been tricked by you. After the trick, you didn¡¯t change your face and pushed the blame on others. You stood by with an innocent face and watched the fun. Do you think you have the nerve to say that you are thin-skinned? "

    Qin Kan murmured and sighed: "If I had known I wouldn't have come out, but I burned down his house once. How long does this petty old man plan to hold his grudge?"

    Li Dongyang smiled more and more heartily: "I plan to hold on to my grudge until I am in the coffin. This matter will never end."

    Qin Kan smiled, turned around and stared at the end of the dusty official road.

    The carriages of Liu Jian and Xie Qian have disappeared. Merchants and pawns are constantly coming and going on the official road, continuing their journey with hope or disappointment. Two of the world-famous troikas during the Hongzhi period have finally said goodbye completely.  The historical stage of the Ming Dynasty has since parted ways and sadly exited.

    Li Dongyang's expression became sad, and he sighed longly, saying: "I have cherished feathers all my life, but I am an old friend of decades who doesn't understand me. I have been a confidant of life for decades, and I can't get through this final hurdle It's a pity, it's a shame.  ah."

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "Everyone in the world is drunk, but Mr. Li is sober alone. I'm afraid it's not a pleasant feeling to be sober, right?"

    Li Dongyang glanced at Qin Kan up and down and said with a smile: "Who said I wake up alone? Aren't you here with me? Ever since you came to Beijing, I have never stopped paying attention to you. How dare you, a small man with a thousand households in fine clothes, dare to be alone?"  You stroked the beard of the boss of the East Factory and dared to burn down the house of the current great scholar, and easily transferred the disaster between me and Wang Yue. From then on, I knew that you were not a fuel-efficient lamp. Later, I found out  The case of Yan Yin, investigating the case of Suzhou weavers, presenting "Cai Gen Tan", teaching the prince to make soup for the late emperor"

    Li Dongyang recounted each incident in detail, which made Qin Kan break into a cold sweat.

    "This old man really didn't tell lies. As expected, he was always paying attention to him and never showed any emotion. It is certain that the reason why the great scholar of the day paid so much attention was not just because he burned down his house.

    Li Dongyang paused, stared at Qin Kan with a smile, and said: "Good things have been done, bad things have also been done, good reputations have been popular, bad reputations have also been popular, good and evil, gains and losses, Qin Kan, tell me,  How did you choose?"

    Qin Kan thought for a while and said: "But based on my true feelings, I am just a poor boy who came from the countryside of Shanyin. I have had many bumps and troubles along the way. In order to survive, I no longer care about good and evil, good or bad.  With evil, I just want to survive in this chaotic world, protect my wife and family, and if possible, let them live a better life and have a richer life, and I"

    Looking up at the gray sky, Qin Kan exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest and said: "I also have my own ideals. I hope to use my ability to change something in my lifetime. Of course, I am just trying my best. Mr. Li also has a family.  People should know that a man who has a family and a bond will definitely not fight for his so-called dreams and ideals. He will only try his best. If he can succeed, it will be gratifying. If he cannot succeed, he will retreat decisively and never try again.  Because every time I take a risk now, it's like putting my whole family's life on the gambling table. I can afford to lose my own life, but I can't afford to lose the life of my wife and family"

    "Therefore, I am willing to adapt to the situation of the world and change my face. If I am successful, I can help the world, and if I am poor, I can be alone. Ideal is too nihilistic. If it conflicts with the life or happiness of my wife and family, I will never  Hesitantly abandoning ideals for herYou guys, I don¡¯t even have to have integrity or reputation. I¡¯m willing to join forces with the devil, and I¡¯m willing to bow my head in front of the powerful. Even if I¡¯m criticized by thousands of people and scorned by all the generations, as long as my wife and family can treat me as a human being and a good person, I¡¯ll be able to live my whole life.  Even if it is not in vain.  "

    Li Dongyang could not help but be stunned for a long time as he listened quietly to Qin Kan's rare inner words.

    Loyalty?  Jealousy?

    The ministers in the court who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality always flaunt the way of a gentleman, but how many of them can actually be called a gentleman?  What he said was sanctimonious, but what he turned around to do was male thieves and female prostitutes. In comparison, the young man in front of him was undoubtedly much more frank and honest.

    The so-called words of a saint are just a weapon used to attack political opponents and restrain the emperor. However, no one has ever used it to truly weigh themselves. Instead, it is better to honestly admit to following the crowd like Qin Kan and go his own way without caring about what is behind him.  reputation.

    Li Dongyang suddenly felt as if he understood the young man in front of him.

    Stroking his beard, Li Dongyang said slowly: "So, you can act without asking about good or evil, right or wrong. You can teach the prince how to make soup, tell him what filial piety means, and you can also raise the butcher knife resolutely without blinking.  The killing was so bloody that Dongchang became a river"

    Qin Kan smiled lightly: "It's too tiring to have a good reputation. I only do things based on my heart."

    Li Dongyang smiled and said: "The sage said: 'Those who are not benevolent cannot stay together for a long time, nor can they be happy. The benevolent are kind, and the wise are benevolent.' You are not a benevolent person, you are a wise person."

    Qin Kan clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "But with a Bodhisattva heart, even if you lift the butcher knife, it is salvation and compassion."

    ***************************************************  *************

    PS: This chapter is not just a spiel. There are more than 700,000 words in it. It is rare to analyze Qin Kan¡¯s character in such a straightforward and long way. Well, I think it is necessary to write about it. The highlight of my protagonist is not just a deception.

    The title of the chapter "The wise benefit benevolence" is derived from "The Analects of Confucius. Li Ren Chapter". According to my understanding, even if a wise man does benevolent and righteous things, the premise should be that it is good for himself, which is a bit similar to "If there is no benefit, you can't afford it."  " means, but it is also a kind of human nature that is neither complimentary nor derogatory.

    "The purpose of novels is actually to write about human nature, which is great, noble, and just. There should also be cowardice, mediocrity, and greed.  (To be continued.
