Famous teachers and apprentices
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Zuo Guangdou served as an inspector in the capital. The Inspector, as the name suggests, was a full-time staff sent down by the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty to supervise the teaching status and examinations in the provinces. Mr. Zuo is not only in his position and seeking his own government, but also often worries about the future of the country, secretly and silently looking for talents.
It's the season of wind and snow, and the water outside is dripping into ice. The wind blew on the face like a knife cutting. But at this time, Mr. Zuo Guangdou took a few retinues and rode out on horseback. That's right, he's looking for talent again.
Where is it easy to bury talent? In bustling Kyoto? Even if he resisted the temptation of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, he could not concentrate on reviewing in the noisy street market. The odds here are small.
Mr. Kong Ming once said: "The journey of a husband and a gentleman is to cultivate oneself quietly and cultivate virtue through thriftiness." Non-indifference is not clear-sighted, non-tranquility is not far-reaching. Fu Xue, Su Jingye. "If you want to talk about a secluded and frugal place, it is no more than an ancient temple."

A pennant
In the box room on the lower side of the main hall of the ancient temple, an eighteen-year-old student is preparing for the exam. After a night of hard work, the first draft of the article was finally completed. As soon as he put down his pen and ink, sleepiness struck, and he couldn't help but fall asleep on his stomach.
At this time, Mr. Zuo Guangdou happened to pass by, so he picked up the article and read it, and this look, when it stirred Mr. Zuo's heartstrings, surprised him.
Although the article is only a draft, it is full of ink. The words are filled with the author's integrity, ambition and ambition.
The person in front of him is the talent that Mr. Zuo is looking for.
Mr. Zuo could not hide the joy in his heart, and immediately took off the mink coat on his body and gently covered the student's body. Seeing that the wind and snow were blowing outside the window, he hurriedly ran to close the window in small steps, and then crept to the door and carefully whispered away. After taking a few steps out of the door, I took a cheerful stride to find a permanent residence.
How can the person who loves you not know the name? That's it!
"Shi Kefa."
Mr. Zuo Guangdou secretly remembered the name.

Face department first
On exam day, candidates are lining up to get ready to enter. When the official who named the name read Shi Kefa, Mr. Zuo Guangdou seemed to be hit by an electric current, and the light of his eyes fell on Shi Kefa. He stared at Shi Kefa seriously, as if entering no man's land.
The talent that Mr. Zuo had met before when he went out read his text so much that he never forgot it. It is difficult to hide the love for talents on the outside, but in fact, it has the country and the nation in mind.
As soon as Shi Kefa's examination paper was handed in, Mr. Zuo immediately rated it as the first place after reading the paper. This is not only Mr. Zuo's thirst for talents, but also the country's urgent need for talents. Of course, Mr. Zuo is also a wise eye, and he can have a profound understanding of it from a teenager's article just one side. It is difficult to attain without superior foresight and wisdom.
As the chief examiner, Mr. Zuo became Shi Kefa's teacher. At that time, all the candidates who passed the examination were based on the main examiner at that time as the teacher. The worship ceremony was set up in Mr. Zuo's home, and Shi Kefa also had the opportunity to meet the master's mother.
As the old saying goes, "One day is the father of the teacher for life." Mr. Zuo not only regarded Shi Kefa as his own, but also could say without exaggeration that he was even closer than his own son. No, in front of the master's mother, Mr. Zuo did not "restrain" at all, and directly and proudly said: "These sons of mine are very mediocre and do nothing." In the future, I will be able to inherit my ambitions and careers, and I will rely on Shi Kefa! ”
At that time, Mr. Zuo only felt and joy from the bottom of his heart, while Shi Kefa on the side engraved the teacher's words in his heart word by word.

Jailed
During the reign of Emperor Mingxi, eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian rebelled. At that time, the people who climbed him called him "nine thousand years old", only a thousand years away from the long life, which showed that Wei Zhongxian was not only arrogant to the extreme, but also covered the sky with his hands.
In the face of the chaos in the DPRK, Yang Lian was not afraid of power and wrote a letter accusing Wei Zhongxian of guilt. Mr. Zuo Guangdou is also a loyal and upright person, the first to stand up and support! This was followed by several ministers who agreed.
However, the emperor not only did not believe it, but was also seduced by Wei Zhongxian, who framed Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others for corruption and bribery, and directly imprisoned them in Dongchang Prison. The East Factory, or East Bureau, was a state secret intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, responsible for supervising the investigation and handling of those who plotted rebellion. The power of the East Factory was above that of the Jinyi Guards, and was only responsible to the Emperor. The person in charge of the East Factory was none other than the Emperor's henchmen, the eunuchs. Yes, the head of the East Factory during the reign of Emperor Ming xizong was Wei Zhongxian. There is a feeling of "thieves shouting to catch thieves".
After Mr. Zuo was imprisoned, he was tried in the first trial every five days, and all the tortures such as sticks and sticks were tortured again. Because of the cruelty of the means, during the interrogation, Mr. Zuo could not kneel, but could only lie flat and be interrogated.
Shi Kefa was so anxious that he did not think about tea and dinner, and he stayed outside the prison gate every day, wanting to visit, but the eunuchs were extremely defensive and did not give them a chance.

Farewell in prison
Living like an old age, Mr. Zuo was later tortured by cannon fire. Cannon burning is to burn people's bodies with red-hot iron pieces, and the red iron goes down, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
After Shi Kefa heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he realized that the teacher might be in danger. Fifty taels of silver were prepared, and he begged the guards bitterly, hoping to see the teacher for the last time, and sorrow and hopelessness surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
The jailer moved his heart of compassion and was moved by it, hinting at his method of "visiting the master".
One day, a "cleaner" appeared at the prison door. His clothes were tattered, his body dirty and dirty, he carried a long staff in his hand, carried a stinking bamboo basket, and from time to time a few flies hovered over it. This man was Shi Kefa, who dressed up in this way, just to cover people's eyes and ears, and came to see the teacher.
The jailer took him inside and alluded to where Mr. Zuo was.
He looked in the direction and saw the teacher shrugging his head, slumped on the ground against the wall. When I got closer, I found that the teacher's face had festered because of the cannon burning, and some of the wounds were already scorched and scabed, and some of them were blurred with flesh and blood, and they couldn't distinguish their faces at all. Below the left knee, the ligaments and bones have fallen off, and senran's white bones and blood-colored flesh are intertwined, which is chilling.
Shi Kefa was shocked, and could no longer suppress the emotions that spewed out from his heart, and fell to his knees forward, holding the teacher's knee and sobbing. The last bit of reason he had was to crush his howling, which was a stormy storm, into a drizzle and choke.
And it was this sobbing sound, or even just the sound of breathing, that Mr. Zuo had already heard that it was none other than Shi Kefa, the beloved disciple. His eyes were already scabbed and could not be opened, and in a hurry, he exerted all his strength and used his hands to open his eyelids, and his eyes suddenly looked at Shi Kefa like a lit torch.
The "torch" burned so fiercely that it even exuded anger. Mr. Zuo's tone was stiff, and he scolded: "Stupid! What is this place! How dare you come here! ”
Then, he sighed bitterly: "The major affairs of the country are now extremely corrupt, and the old man must die here." And you are so contemptuous of your own life that you do not know how to commit yourself to perfection for the sake of the great righteousness of the country. If you are framed by adulterers again, who will bear the great affairs of the world? ”
Speaking of the rush to attack the heart, Mr. Zuo even breathed heavily, "You are not fast to roll!" Well, don't wait until they design to frame you, I'll kill you now! As soon as the words fell, Mr. Zuo leaned over with trembling, touched the torture device on the ground with both hands, and made a gesture to hit Shi Kefa.
No matter how much his body and mind suffered, Mr. Zuo still maintained the sanity and sobriety of a teacher. Seeing That Shi Kefa came, it was precisely because of his love and earnestness that he forgot himself, and had no choice but to use such a resolute way, only hoping to protect him thoroughly, but wishing him to put the country and the nation first.
In the face of the teacher's abnormality, Shi Kefa had no doubts. Instead, I understood the teacher's good intentions immediately. He was silent, and Ma Li left the prison.
Shi Kefa had left safely, and the blazing torch had begun to subside, gradually weakening until it was reduced to ashes.
This parting, goodbye is the Yellow Spring.

Inherit the Shizhi
In the last years of Chongzhen, when the peasants revolted, Zhang Xianzhong organized a "rebel army" and often wandered around Hubei and Anhui. They appear suddenly and suddenly, and it is difficult to eliminate them in one fell swoop. At that time, Shi Kefa was responsible for guarding the Anhui area.
In a military emergency, Shi Kefa could not sleep for several months. He ruled the army strictly, and ordered his generals to take turns to rest. He chose ten stout soldiers, squatting back to back, resting while keeping vigil. Wait until the leaky pot is over and replace the next batch of soldiers. But he himself sat outside the military tent, not daring to relax at all.
On a cold night, when Shi Kefa got up, if he vibrated the armor on his body, there were ice chips falling down, making a sonorous sound.
There were soldiers who cared about him and wanted him to take a break. However, he politely refused: "I am often afraid that I have betrayed the trust of the imperial court; for the lower, I am always worried about the expectations of my mentor."
At this time, Mr. Zuo had passed away. When Shi Kefa led the army, he often had the opportunity to pass by the teacher's door. Every time, he would personally come to the door, kneel down to pay homage to his master and mother, and greet the living conditions of his wife, who was also Mr. Zuo's parents.
Mr. Zuo regards Shi Kefa as his own, and for Shi Kefa, Mr. Zuo is not only a teacher, but also a father-like existence. He took care of Mr. Zuo's family as if they were his own.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Mingxi died and Emperor Mingsizong took the throne. He cleaned up the portal and severely punished Wei Zhongxian and other parties. In the end, Wei Zhongxian committed suicide in fear of sin.
During the reign of The Southern Ming Dynasty, King Fu rehabilitated Zuo Guangdou and posthumously honored him with the title of "Zhongyi".
Shi Kefa was posthumously promoted to the rank of Shōshū of the Military Department, which was the highest position in the military field.
In the first year of Hongguang, Shi Kefa was responsible for defending Yangzhou. After the Qing army went south, they broke through the city, and Shi Kefa vowed not to surrender until the last moment of his life.
At the time of the murder, it was the scorching heat of the summer sun, and the corpse decayed very quickly. Therefore, Shi Kefa's remains could not be identified, and his righteous son and the local people buried them in Meihualing, that is, the "Crown Tomb".
The Southern Ming court named Shi Kefa the title of "Zhongjing", and later, even the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty posthumously honored him as "Zhongzheng".
This story is based on the article written by Fang Bao of the Tongcheng faction, "Zuo Zhongyi Gong Anecdote", the fate is very wonderful, Mr. Zuo Guangdou and Mr. Fang Bao are fellow countrymen.
Heaven and Earth Emperor And Master, as soon as he read the word "Master", a wave of respect rose from the bottom of his heart. From ancient times to the present, the good story of respecting the teacher and the tao is also brilliant, so take one here, relive the Dan heart and blood of the scholars, and comfort the teacher's preaching.
