Chapter 326: Mind Learning

In addition to serving as an adviser to the emperor and teaching the prince recently, Zhang Zhou is not responsible for the official affairs of the court. He only went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War. As for the positions of Taichang Temple Minister and Zuo Governor of the Rear Army Governor's Palace, I just don't have time to take care of it.

Recently he will start selecting the second batch of students for the Yanwu Hall.

As for the instructor, Tang Yin is the only one left in Beijing who can assist him at present, and even the instructor may have to train a group of new people.

Different from the first batch of students who were almost all decided by the emperor and Zhang Zhou, this time the second batch of students, the courtiers obviously intended to bring in people from the traditional factions, including those who had been previously recommended as governor of Liaodong. However, Yang Yiqing was unable to do so. In addition, the Ministry of War also sent doctors and chiefs to assist.

In the past, traditional civil servants did not attach much importance to the status of Yanwu Hall in the imperial court.

With the rise of Zhang Zhou in the military and political circles, and the members of Yanwutang being placed in various aspects of the northwest and beginning to assume power, Yanwutang’s status in the Ming Dynasty has become more prominent, even if it is just an ordinary martial artist now , all want to dive into the Yanwu Hall for gold plating.

October has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The war between Dayan Khan and the Three Guards of Duoyan has not subsided. More and more news shows that the Three Guards of Duoyan suffered heavy losses in the previous annexation war, but they were not directly beaten like in history. After being disabled, he completely submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but took the opportunity to move his troops southward, close to the Ming Dynasty's town in Liaodong. At the same time, he also actively sent people to request again who should be surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

For no other reason than Duoyan Sanwei realized that the future of the grassland did not lie with Dayan Khan.

The Ming Dynasty is likely to become the master of the grassland in the future. As long as these tribes still have some strength, they will not seek refuge with Dayan Khan at this time.

Because of the emergence of Zhang Zhou, the grassland pattern has been broken. Dayan Khan, as the khan and nominal leader of the grassland tribes, has gradually become unpopular, mostly because he did not support the Ming Dynasty. In front of artillery and explosives, he showed the majesty of a prairie hero.

Zhang Zhou felt that Dayan Khan would sooner or later deal with Ming Dynasty on the border for his own sake.

Dayan Khan has not taken any action against the border towns of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a year. As for where Dayan Khan wants to use as a breakthrough point next time to harass the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhou knows that there is no way to do so. He got the answer from historical experience, and after the butterfly effect occurred, everything changed by himself.

After the weather cooled down, Zhang Zhou dressed in winter clothes and went to the Hanlin Academy.

The time for Zhang Zhou to marry Lin Yi was set on October 16th. Recently, Zhang Zhou followed Zhu Youtang's instructions and wanted to establish a little more prestige in the literary world.

Zhang Zhou went to the Hanlin Academy and was accompanied by Wang Hao, who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy. This was the first time that Zhang Zhou went to meet his colleagues as a "boss" after being promoted to a bachelor's degree. Lun Wenxu and Sun Xu, the second and third best students in the same department, are still only Hanlin editors, but Zhang Zhou's status is completely different from theirs.

Hanlin Academy.

No one wanted to see Zhang Zhou that day. In the eyes of traditional Confucian officials, Zhang Zhou’s way of ascending to power could never hurt him."Taiwan", a man who relied on prophecies and predictions to build a personal relationship with the emperor to rise to power, no matter how capable he is, will be criticized by others, but because Wang Hao is personally accompanying him, they have to come out to meet each other.

There were more than 40 people on duty in the Hanlin Academy that day, and they all appeared in the bachelor's room.

Wang Hao made an introduction to Zhang Yiyi.

Don't look at Wang Hao's usual routine. He rarely works in the Hanlin Academy, but he knows everyone in the Hanlin Academy, and he can accurately tell the specialties of these people, and has a good judgment on their positions and abilities. These people also have a deep understanding of Wang Hao. Respect.

Wang Hao's popularity in the Hanlin Academy is obviously better than that of Cheng Minzheng, even though neither of them is strictly speaking from the traditional civil servant faction.

"Bingkuan, you. Your room and seat are here, and they have been cleaned up for you. The Ming Dynasty Ceremony has been completed, but the subsequent editing and proofreading are still in progress. If you are not busy with other matters, please come and take a look. ”

Wang Hao has always been Zhang Zhou’s teacher. Even if he doesn’t agree with some of Zhang Zhou’s behaviors, he is still very kind to Zhang Zhou and has the majesty of a teacher. .

"Yes. "Zhang Zhou cupped his hands.

Liang Chu said next to him, "Xueshi Wang, Xueshi Zhang, if there is nothing else, I will go and do his business first. "

"Wait. Wang Hao said, and then looked at Zhang Zhoudao, "Bingkuan, didn't you say before that you had something you wanted to talk about in public?" "

Zhang Zhou solemnly took out a set of books from among the things he brought, which was about a wooden box, and said, "Comrades, I just did some trivial things. I am deeply humbled by my position today. I am not very good at writing books, but I have dabbled in Confucian classics. I have jotted down some insights on learning, and I would like your colleagues to help me refer to them. ”

Another scholar, Li Jie, came over and said with a smile, “Bingkuan, you have also studied academic books.” I hope you don't mind, these are just random notes, please correct me. "

As he spoke, Zhang Zhou took out several volumes from a set of books and placed them on the table.

"Haha. ”

The atmosphere was quite solemn originally, and most people had a big grudge against Zhang Zhou, but when they heard that Zhang Zhou was writing books in his own name, the atmosphere instantly became less tense.

They didn’t say they were watching Zhang Zhou’s jokes, but they all found it very interesting.

Generally speaking, people like Zhang Zhou rarely have time to attend to personal matters when they go to the Hanlin Academy. In this way, everyone who first compiled the Ming Dynasty Code and then wrote his own works was actually very curious to see what profound insights a Confucian minister like Zhang Zhou could have in Confucian culture.

Li Jie is on the same level as Zhang Zhou. In order to show that he is not jealous of Zhang Zhou's talents, he has to show a very warm and polite look. He smiled and said, "Then on behalf of the people in Hanyuan, I will accept your random records and help out whenever I can." Show me. "

"Thank you, Bachelor Li." Zhang Zhou thanked him with his hands in hand.

Everyone dispersed.

Wang Hao asked Zhang Zhou to sit down. He seemed to want to give Zhang Zhou some personal advice.

Wang Hao first explained Liu Ji's absence, "Shiheng has been busy with official duties recently and has not been to Hanyuan for many days. He did not mean to avoid you."

This It shows some embarrassment.

A year ago, Liu Ji was a Hanlin Attendant and the examiner of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination. He was Zhang Zhou’s tutor. Zhang Zhou was just a Gongsheng student at that time and was elected as a candidate. The status of reading is also very different.

But a year later, Zhang Zhou was already a bachelor, while Liu Ji was still a scholar.

After one year as a teacher, his status is completely inferior to that of students. At this time, when students come to the Hanlin Academy, it is like a superior coming to inspect. Liu Ji, not to mention being busy with official duties, will find something to do even if he has nothing to do, and deliberately avoids it. Kai meets Zhang Zhou.

"I still want to study more with Liu Shi to learn how to be an official. It's a pity." Zhang Zhou sighed with emotion.

Wang Hao asked out of curiosity, "Why did your Majesty ask you to record what you recorded, or why did you do it yourself?"

Wang Hao was concerned about Zhang Zhou coming to the Hanlin Academy to present what he had written. I'm a little curious about books.

Because Wang Hao knew that Zhang Zhou had made great achievements in martial arts and won the trust of the emperor in terms of martial arts. Even those ministers who had prejudices against Zhang Zhou could not deny that Zhang Zhou Ability in surveying heavenly secrets and other aspects.

So Wang Hao felt that what the emperor wanted Zhang Zhou to gain most now was probably his reputation in the academic world.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty Conference alone is not enough.

Because the Ming Dynasty Code is more of an institutional normative book, which needs to be consulted and proofread. Summarizing past cases and precedents requires time and energy, rather than personal cultural quality. However, now that Zhang Zhou is revising books in his own name, the situation is different.

Zhang Zhoudao "Just some of the latest insights into Neo-Confucianism."

"Neo-Confucianism" Wang Hao frowned slightly.

What Zhang Zhou wrote was obviously not Neo-Confucianism, but the philosophy of mind.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to become famous in the academic world. As the most popular model of Confucianism in the coming decades or even centuries, Xinxue would naturally be criticized if it were presented rashly. People think it is deviant.

But Zhang Zhou believes that the time is now basically mature because he has obtained status and fame beyond knowledge. Even if he is still an alien in the eyes of academic circles, it does not prevent him from turning a person into a scholar. The comprehensive Confucian theory is put forward for people to discuss.

Because only if he puts it forward so rashly can it be "reasonable".

If it were people like Wang Shouren, Zhan Ruoshui, Lu Nan, and Wang Chong, they either had just entered the official ranks or were still on their way to becoming official officials. No matter how great their influence was, they would still be far less than a nominal " "Lai Guogong", the Imperial Academy of the Ming DynastyStudying for a bachelor's degree will have greater impact.

What Zhang Zhou wanted was not to gain immediate fame, but to muddy the stagnant waters of Confucianism.

Who said that Neo-Confucianism must be the best? The shortcomings of Neo-Confucianism have been mentioned countless times in the past hundreds of years, and the academic community has long been suspicious of Neo-Confucianism.

With Chen Xianzhang and others’ pioneering theories of mind, Zhang Zhou proposed a comprehensive theory of mind, which is no longer sudden. At least in the Jiangnan School, mind has already begun to develop. It's just that in the northern areas where Neo-Confucianism is relatively conservative, it is relatively difficult to break the stagnant water.

"Scholar Wang, here is another set, which is all printed. I hope you can add more corrections."

Zhang Zhou not only wants to spread his ideas in the Hanlin Academy, The "Notes" still need to be published. After all, the bookstore co-founded by Zhu Houzhao has never published a decent book. This time, he wanted to use the trend of his rising reputation to put forward his inner learning.

Not only to make himself famous, but also to change traditional Confucianism.

As for whether it’s good or bad, Zhang Zhou doesn’t really care. What he wants is to be independent. You can attack my academic research, Zhang, but I, Zhang, am an alien in your eyes. , I am not afraid of itching when there are too many lice on my body, but the academic influence that I can bring through my mind-based learning is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If you want to make a name for yourself in academia, you have to take a different approach. If you want to gain the greatest fame, you have to do something big.

Wang Hao was not surprised by Zhang Zhou's move. He was even worried that Zhang Zhou would be embarrassed if he did too much. He said, "If you want to establish yourself based on Confucianism, there is no need to worry. Anyone in the Imperial Academy With qualifications and prestige, his academic insights will be heard. Then bring the book and I will help you read it. If I can help you, I will try my best."

Wang Hao. This was because he was afraid that Zhang Zhou would be embarrassed.

He still doesn’t know what impact the psychological theory brought by Zhang Zhou will have.

If he knew, he would probably be beaten to death without wanting to get involved.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I'll send a set to Bachelor Wang later."

Xin Xue was finally born.

Zhang Zhou spared no expense for this purpose and printed a thousand sets for sale in bookstores. The price was very reasonable. He first advertised it in the Hanlin Academy, and then began to promote it among the people.

Others don’t know how famous he is in the academic world, but some people heard that it was “Zhang Banxian” who printed the book. This gimmick alone was so powerful that no less than six copies were sold on the day it went on sale. Ten sets, and the reputation is still gradually spreading.

Not looking for insights, just looking for gimmicks.

Naturally, the first people who came to buy books were not famous Confucians, and even the civil servants were not very interested in the books published by Zhang Zhou. However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. In order to gain fame, he could just write a few words and print them, and people would buy them, not to mention that Zhang Zhou directly published an entire classic on psychology.

Of course, shouting alone is not enough;Someone needs to go out and "promote" it.

This person was selected as Tang Yin by Zhang Zhou.

Don’t you, Tang Yin, have nothing to do after you arrive in the capital? Even Xu Jing defected to Wang Shouren. When you return to the capital, you can help push books together.

When Tang Yin first heard Zhang Zhou's "suggestion", he resisted.

"Xueshi Zhang, you have already compiled the Great Ming Dynasty Code and you are already a bachelor of Hanlin. Why bother yourself any more? Any theory you push out will create resistance among traditional Confucianists."

Zhang Zhou said, "Bohu, you are a member of my sect. Do you think that our sect is the sect of alchemists? You think that I will teach you how to make alchemy in the future? We are the sect of Confucian scholars, or Confucian sect for short." , since I am your senior brother, I have the obligation to cultivate and guide you in all aspects, and you are limited to understanding what I have written in one or two days."

"One or two days"

Tang Yin frowned.

What the hell did you write? Let me promote it for you and let me understand it in a short time.

Zhang Zhou said disdainfully, "Otherwise, what else will happen to others in the future?" When asked about you, as a member of my sect, if you don’t know anything about the contents of the classics, others will think that you are not good at learning, and may even look down upon you because of it.”

Tang Yin shook his head and said, “It’s not like that. "

Zhang Zhou was annoyed and shouted: "Are you going to do it or not?"

After being reprimanded by Zhang Zhou, Tang Yin realized that he was on a pirate ship. After agreeing to Zhang Zhou's bet and being helped by Zhang Zhou to get through the dispute, he was already tied to this boat and there was no chance of him jumping off the ship.

That’s it

We can only bite the bullet.

In the following days, Tang Yin and Xu Jing, as promotion experts, began to promote mind science among the scholars in Jiangnan.

What Tang Yin didn't expect was that when he went to meet the Jiangnan scholars, the treatment he received was different from that of ordinary Jinshi, and even higher than that received by Hanlin scholars.

It’s more because he is Zhang Zhou’s classmate.

"Brother Tang, you are really a high-ranking disciple. I wonder who your master is?" This is the question that ordinary scholars are most concerned about.

Everyone thinks Zhang Zhou is awesome, and Zhang Zhou’s master should be the best among the best.

But until now, no one has heard of who Zhang Zhou has as his master. Since Tang Yin, as Zhang Zhou’s junior brother, may not have learned the big skills yet, at least he knows who his master is.

Tang Yin looked embarrassed.

In front of him were dozens of candidates, Gongsheng students, etc. in the Jiangnan Guild Hall, but he couldn’t even tell who his mentor was. It was not embarrassing enough.

Xu Jing took the opportunity to rescue him and said, "It doesn't matter who the mentor is, what matters is who the senior brother is. Mr. Zhang is now well-known in the court, and many people ask to see him, and even fewer people come to read his poems and poems." opportunity for learning, and now he has prepared Confucian insights for the world’s scholars, specially bringing them to you for your reference.. In the next few days, I will personally host several cultural conferences for the study of learning in the Jiangnan Guild Hall of the Capital. I would like to ask you to please support me. ”

Compared with Tang Yin’s perfunctory response to Zhang Zhou’s promotion of knowledge, Xu Jing was more proactive.

Because Xu Jing had to rely on fawning over Zhang Zhou to gain high status. Opportunity.

Finally gave Zhang Zhou a chance to make a name for himself, so he quickly showed off his strongest financial resources

He came to attend the seminar, took care of food and accommodation, and also With this kind of refreshments and drinks, whoever is more knowledgeable will get awards and opportunities to become famous, and even have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Zhang Zhou, the upstart who is currently in the limelight in the Ming Dynasty. This is simply the best way to reach the pinnacle of life. .

Don’t say that what Zhang Zhou wrote is a masterpiece of mind science. Even if what he writes is just a piece of shit, if he has the ability to create momentum, others will dig for gold for him and find it for you. Highlights will help you become famous.

"Everyone, let's take a look at the details."

In the past, these Juren Gongsheng students did not bother to have a relationship with Zhang Zhou.

Because the climb was in vain

But it is different now. With Zhang Zhou's fellow disciples coming forward, it is equivalent to saying that studying Zhang Zhou's works will give them a chance to get close to Zhang Zhou, so they thought. We need to study it carefully.

It is precisely what the literati emphasizes: "A gentleman is better than a righteous man, and a villain is better than a profiter." "Here.

If you don't stare at this moment, how long are you waiting?

There is a sudden "Xinxue craze" in Beijing.

It's not really hot. , it was a wind that blew, and even the traditional Confucianists didn't know how it came about.

This matter even alarmed the emperor.

It's not that Zhu Youtang has nothing to do, but to study what the civil servants are doing, mainly because Xiao Jing reported that this matter is related to Zhang Zhou. It is only a matter of time before Dai Yi retires. The emperor has decided to retire in the next year. He replaced it before, so Xiao Jing is also actively expressing himself.

"Your Majesty, I asked for this from Mr. Zhang. Please take a look at it. "

Xiao Jing brought a whole set of books.

Zhu Youtang felt a headache after reading it.

He said, "How can this be like that? Martial arts are said to be interesting."

The emperor is no longer the diligent and self-denying emperor he used to be. In his opinion, he can still have some fun and will never cause trouble for himself.

Xiao Jing said, " Now it is spreading all over the capital, with people praising and criticizing it, and there are even different schools of thought arguing about it. When Dongchang sent people to listen to several academic debates, it was very fierce, but Mr. Zhang's academics seemed to have been recognized by some people.
