Chapter 399 The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley

The sixth day of August.

It has been half a month since Zhu Houzhao ran away from home. On this day, Yang Peng almost crawled and rolled to the Qianqing Palace. He ignored Zhu Youtang who was reviewing the memorials and rushed in almost recklessly and shouted. "Your Majesty, we found it"

"What"

Zhu Youtang stood up with a look of horror on his face.

He knew it was his son, but the word "found" had too many meanings. It could be said to have found the person, or it could be said to have found the body, or it could be said to have known. whereabouts.

Xiao Jingben was in charge of delivering the memorial and shouted, "Speak clearly."

"The prince's whereabouts have been found. He is safe and sound. He has now passed Xuzhou and is on his way to Nanjing. He is safe and sound. ." Yang Peng told everything he knew one after another this time.

"Huh"

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don’t know how my son traveled south to Xuzhou, at least he is safe now, which is very lucky.

Xiao Jing said in surprise, "Your Majesty, let's just say that now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are prosperous, how can there be evil spirits who are harmful to the prince?"

Zhu Youtang closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress his heart. He said with excitement, "The prince is different from ordinary people when he is away from home. If the country is safe and the people are safe, he will not be able to prevent someone from having evil thoughts towards him if he does not pick up his belongings. Is he already on his way back to Beijing?"

Yang Peng said, "Your Majesty, This is the report from the Jin Yiwei. Tang Zhongcheng, the governor of the Bohai Sea sent by the Laiguo Office, found the whereabouts of the prince on the ground in Shandong, and sent people to follow and protect him all the way into Xuzhou."

"Ahem"

But when he knew that it was Zhang Zhou who found his son, he felt a little relieved.

With Zhang Zhou here, even if Zhang Zhou didn’t go there in person, with Tang Yin, his son’s safety could basically be guaranteed.

Zhu Youtang took the Jin Yiwei's rendition and looked at it, confirming that Tang Yin was leading a team of fifty or sixty Jin Yiwei to protect his son secretly.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei led by Tang Zhongcheng are all people close to Lai Guogong. After the Jin Yiwei was notified, a large number of Jin Yiwei rushed to the rescue. The prince has not been alarmed yet. According to Tang Zhongcheng, this is According to the instructions of Duke Lai, if the prince is informed, some extraordinary means will be used to escape, and it will not be easy to find him by then."

Yang Peng was still making comments. .

"Pa" Zhu Youtang slapped Jin Yiwei's secret report on the table.

"How old is the prince? How can he be so capable from the capital to Xuzhou?" Zhu Youtang always thought that his son was not found because he was hiding around the capital.

Now I know that my son passed through many blockades and actually went south to Xuzhou.

This is so exciting.

Emotions The people I send out are all for a living.If Zhang Zhou had the ability, he would find the person with just a short notice

Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, the purpose of the prince's trip south is to find Duke Lai."

"You don't need to come. "Reminder." Zhu Youtang said with a grim look, "I just want to ask how he went south. The ones he brought are still there." Yang Peng said, "Gao Feng, Liu Jin, Qiu Ju and Ma Yongcheng." The four chamberlains were always with the prince. It is said that the prince first took a carriage out of the city, left the carriage at the farm, hired a carriage and pretended to go north, changed into ordinary clothes by himself, took an ox cart to Tongzhou, and shared a boat with the soldiers heading south. , attending cultural gatherings along the way, usually using the pseudonym Zhu Shou."

"Cough cough cough"

Zhu Youtang heard this.

Good guy.

My son is really good at playing when he went south. He used a trick to hide the Jinyiwei, and got along with the scholars. He actually learned to join others in boating and attended a cultural gathering in a high-profile way

No wonder you can’t even find someone, the prince plays the relationship so cleverly that you don’t realize the meaning of “darkness under the lamp”

Xiao Jing asked, “The prince is going south by boat. Preparation is the top priority. Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not search the ships along the way."

Yang Peng said, "It is the summer flood season on the canal. Ships traveling from south to north are almost blocking the river, but they dare not The identity of the prince was notified to the outside world, and only some of the portraits and characteristics of the Jin Yiwei were given. It was difficult for them to find the whereabouts of the prince among the crowd."

"Incompetent" Xiao Jing was scolding.

Indirectly, it is also highlighting oneself.

Your Majesty, please take a look. If you think Yang Peng is capable, let him take charge of the East Factory. Can this be compared to when I was the admiral of the East Factory? Otherwise, we should replace him as soon as possible. , an incompetent person can just let him do something incompetent, so as not to be embarrassed.

Zhu Youtang raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Jing's questioning. He said, "As long as the prince is safe, I didn't expect that the prince would go south in this way."

In my heart, I was angry that my son ran away from home without saying hello, but I also secretly admired my son for being able to hide the truth from the truth. This is really annoying and sighing. You guys are not as capable as the prince.

Being a father , when he discovered that there were problems in communicating with his son, he was more angry than tolerant, but it got to the point where he forced his son to run away from home. Zhu Youtang would also reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

"Send more manpower and leave the matter of protecting the prince to Duke Lai and Tang Yin. We will not let anything happen to the prince." Zhu Youtang ordered again.

Xiao Jing said in surprise, "Your Majesty, the prince is outside now and is in danger, why not?"

Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan is right to worry, others don't know his identity." , there is no threat to him, but knowing his identity is his biggest disaster. Even if he is sent to protect him, he will be suspicious if he is discovered secretly. Can he ensure that the prince does not escape on his way back to Beijing? ”

“This” Xiao Jing was speechless.

The father actually agreed to let his son go to Nanjing

"Although the prince is fooling around, he also has some courage." Zhu Youtang said, "He did what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. After he returns to the palace, I will definitely punish him severely, but We still need to ensure his safety. Yang Peng, you need to go to Nanjing in person, not only to ensure the safety of the prince, but also to cooperate with Duke Lai." "Yes."

Xiao Jing reminded, "But Your Majesty, the affairs of the Jingcheng East Factory"

"No problem." Zhu Youtang said, "If anything happens to the Jingcheng East Factory, report it directly to me That's all. Isn't there the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin, here? You take Guo Ang, the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen. Along the way, if anyone secretly monitors the prince and has an unknown origin, he will be killed without mercy. Duke Lai Guo has the power to act expeditiously in Jiangnan. You cooperate. As for him, you will obey all orders given by Bingkuan, and I will not hold you accountable."

"Yes."

Yang Peng heard it.

This time I went to the south with Zhang Zhou to do "big things", not just to protect Zhu Houzhao's safety.

It was originally a bad thing, but now it seems that because Zhang Zhou found him, Yang Peng has become the "hero".

When he raised his head slightly to observe Xiao Jing's face, he found that Xiao Jing's face was almost green with anger.

The news that Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts had been found also reached Zhang Zhou.

After Zhang Zhou read Tang Yin's report, he immediately felt that Tang Yin was starting to know how to handle things. It didn't matter how high-minded Tang Yin was, as long as he could obey his orders and act, at least there would be no big deviations.

It’s not that Zhang Zhou is very capable, but that Zhang Zhou has the support of the emperor. As long as Tang Yin obeys orders, he doesn’t need to take the blame even if he makes a big mistake.

But if Tang Yin makes his own decisions, even if he fails to do things perfectly, it will become a stain on his official career.

"Master Zhang."

After making sure that Zhu Houzhao had no major problems, Zhang Zhou could go south smoothly and prepare to go to Nanjing in the shortest time to take up the post of Minister of War in Nanjing.

As for Xu Jing, he went to Nanjing as an advance guard and came back to welcome him.

Originally Zhang Zhou asked Tang Yin to take Xu Jing to find Zhu Houzhao, but Xu Jing was afraid of causing trouble and insisted on exploring the way for Zhang Zhou first.

"Say." Zhang Zhouren was on the boat, holding a book and looking at Xu Jing who had just boarded the boat.

Xu Jingdao "This time on Jiangnan theory, representatives from various schools of thought have arrived. The leader is naturally the Lingnan school. I heard that a man named Zhan Ruoshui has come. He is not very knowledgeable, but he is very famous among Lingnan scholars. Many students from Fujian and Guangdong are his classmates."

"Tell me something else." Zhang Zhou had long known that Zhan Ruoshui came to discuss the study of mind on behalf of Chen Xianzhang.

Now is not the time to distinguish who is orthodox in psychology, or in other words, it is not yet time to pick the fruits. We should first discuss Neo-Confucianism.

Xu Jingdao "The Neo-Confucian school, with the Jiangxi school having the largest number of people, is divided into two factions. One faction is said to be the descendants of Hu Jingzhai and Lou Yizhai. They argue with each other and believe that Xinxue is a heretical theory., so that many scholars in Jiangxi, Huguang and other places hold this view. In addition, many people from the northern school came, but they were not organized. ”

“Yeah. ”

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Hu Jingzhai is Hu Juren, a master of Neo-Confucianism. Together with Chen Xianzhang and Lou Liang, they are all disciples of Wu Yubi, a master of Neo-Confucianism and the Chongren School. Chen Xianzhang later founded Xinxue, but Chen Xianzhang's Xinxue was more like a supplement to Neo-Confucianism and was not a complete collection.

Among the three brothers from the same school, even Chen Xianzhang was established in the 13th year of Hongzhi. Death in February means that the leading figures of each school are gone.

Xu Jing also mentioned this: "People from the Lingnan School themselves wanted to come to the capital to discuss studies with you at the beginning of the year, but because Chen Shizhai died. He died of illness at the beginning of the year, and most of his disciples kept their mourning and never traveled far away. Even Zhan Ruoshui was not angry with Master Zhang and specially came to discuss his studies wearing a mourning filial piety. Those from the Lingnan School are all wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, so you should be careful. ”

The academic atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty was very strong, but it was the habit of southern scholars to organize themselves into factions.

In other words, most northern scholars were scattered soldiers, while those in the south were grouped together. As a group, it was a matter of seeing who was unhappy with his fellow disciples.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "If you can't compete with me, you will have to fight to learn from me."

Xu Jingdao: “It’s not impossible. "

Zhang Zhou waved his hand and said, "Are there any other schools of thought that are so upright?"

Xu Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Other schools of thought are not as upright as Lingnan. You are so persistent in helping people, but you must be careful. You haven't arrived in Nanjing yet, but there are many people giving lectures in Nanjing. Most of them are promoting their own academic ideas. There are also fans who are not your followers, but your followers. As soon as possible He had already taken the lead in Nanjing, and most of them were disciples from the local school in Nanzhili. "

"Really?" Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded.

Before he left, people started to support him.

The motives were not pure.< /p>

However, it is still worthy of encouragement, and it can help him share the firepower at critical times.

"Master Zhang, your literary reputation is not only unique in Jiangnan, but also well-known among northern schools, especially. Therefore, the scholars of Shuntian Prefecture have the most respect for you, and it is also because your classics originally came from Shuntian Prefecture. Some people also call your theory Beimen Xin Xue. "Xu Jingdao.

Zhang Zhou said, "Beimen, when did I become a northerner?"

"No, it's just for the convenience of comparing with Lingnan Xinxue, and also because you are very popular among the followers. Because there are mostly students from the north such as Tianfu, and many provinces in the south have their own schools of thought, even if your academic ideas are unprecedented, you will not be recognized by them for a while. ”

Xu Jing himself was from Jiangyin, and he was very familiar with the academic system of southern scholars.

Zhang Zhou also knew that Xu Jing was not lying.

So in Ming Dynasty, if you want to promote a new academic discipline, the first choice is Jiangnan.

Not only are there traditional schools of thought, but people here are also more receptive to new schools of thought. As long as you are well-known, academically sound and easily understood by others, it will be easier for you to resonate with the academic community.

"Very good, you have worked hard this time." Zhang Zhou said.

Xu Jingcheng said in fear, "It's not hard for students at all."

Zhang Zhou said, "You don't need to call yourself that in front of me. I don't plan to accept anyone as a disciple. You and Bohu are still Friends, they are my peers."

"I dare not." Xu Jing was eager to become a disciple of Zhang Zhou.

Xu Jing also said what he wanted in this regard, "Master Zhang, if you don't give up, my students are willing to serve you. You may not know it, but now your school of thought has been formed, and many people call themselves you." A disciple, but everyone knows that you have never officially accepted a disciple, and even the grandson of the British Duke only temporarily studied the art of war under your name, and no one recognized it."

"Haha"

This is not wrong.

Zhang Lun never regarded himself as Zhang Zhou’s disciple, and Old Man Zhang didn’t seem to care about his grandson’s mentor.

If Zhang Lun is his disciple, doesn't it mean that he is a generation shorter than Old Man Zhang?

Besides, Zhang Lun is not a good student.

Xu Jingdao "Nowadays, students from all over the country who are voluntarily promoting your academic work hope to gain your recognition and take advantage of this discussion to become a disciple."

"Oh. I don't have any academic disciples. Bohu is my only fellow disciple, of course in alchemy." Zhang Zhou smiled.

Xu Jing added, "There are not a few people who want to become Tang Bohu's disciples."

"Haha."

Zhang Zhou couldn't help laughing. .

Tang Yin is considered to be "flying on the branch" because he is Zhang Zhou's fellow junior fellow student. Others cannot worship him as Zhang Zhou's disciple, so they want to attack Tang Yin's disciple. absurd.

"This is summarized below. The list of schools from all over the country that went to Nanjing to participate in the seminar, as well as the names of some famous Confucian scholars, as well as some official letters from the local government, please read it first."

Xu Jing laid out what he summarized and gave it to Zhang Zhou because he knew that Zhang Zhou was very organized in his work.

Because Zhang Zhou was fine, Tang Yin was asked to write a report.

"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded.

Xu Jingdao, "I'll take my leave first. Let's go back to your arrangements in Nanjing. If you need some private arrangements, just tell me. I have nothing to help you. I still have some meager financial resources. Please help as much as possible." You can do it. In addition, I have printed a thousand copies of the classics on psychology, which I dare not give away privately. They are all ready for you, just in case you need them when you arrive in Nanjing."

Zhang Zhou said, "You are not good at this. I can do the printing of books myself. But since you are ready, you can stay in Nanjing and wait for the teaching of mind to be preached. You can take the opportunity to make a deal." . The money he collected was used to help Bohu build the ship. He came to Jiangnan just to raise funds." Xu Jing said with a smile, "I will help him a lot."

Zhang Zhouren hasn't arrived in Nanjing yet, but Nanjing has already become bustling with his upcoming arrival.

Not only those who came to discuss studies, but also many who just came to join in the fun. This also made Nanjing the center of academic thought in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a place where schools from all over the world collided and exchanged ideas. It was not only psychology and Neo-Confucianism There are schools of thought even within Neo-Confucianism. It is very likely that the two sides will sit down and argue for days and nights over an inconspicuous concept, and then break up unhappily due to stereotypes of mutual incomprehension.

Academic thoughts are all stereotypes, but whatever is instilled in the mind, even if it is wrong, is difficult to change.

Zhu Houzhao also felt this when he went south to attend various cultural conferences.

"Brother Sun, you said that these people have been silenced by us, so why are they so stubborn?"

After attending the Xuzhou local meeting this day At a cultural gathering, Zhu Houzhao, Sun Che and others were curious about this matter when they returned to the Yanhe Posthouse.

Sun Che smiled and said nothing.

Gong Yeping on the side said, "Young Master Zhu, you may not know this. In terms of academics, there is never a right or wrong. It is useless to reason with them. The most important thing is to let those who are observing People think we have a point, just bring those people in and stop collaborating with them in the future.”

“Damn,” Zhu Houzhao said, “then I didn’t say it for nothing.”

Gong Yeping said, "You didn't say that in vain. You didn't see the few students who came to listen today. They all handed us name cards afterwards. On the contrary, those who claimed to be Neo-Confucianists from the local school all left in despair. Now They are still stubborn. When someone within them quits, Neo-Confucianism will not be able to prevail in local discussions. When they are alone, they will understand that they must seek change."

"It's so complicated."

Zhu Houzhao has never experienced a school dispute, so naturally he doesn't know such a complicated thing.

Sun Che smiled and said, "It's rare that you are here, Mr. Zhu. You don't know that our journey south was very scenic. As soon as we finished the discussion here, our reputation spread before we went back to the next place." , there will be people coming to send greetings."

"So soon?" Zhu Houzhao grinned.

Sun Che said, "If you have a reputation, it will spread quickly. In academia, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley." Please remember to save it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
