The main debate on academics has basically come to an end.
The Lingnan School headed by Zhan Ruoshui was almost completely defeated. Not only did they lose in terms of momentum, but even the content of the debate was suppressed by Zhu Houzhao. In the end, Zhang Zhou used some beautiful words to make the world feel It turns out that the truly magnanimous person was Zhang Zhou, not a ragtag group of scholars like the Lingnan School.
Imagine that Zhang Zhou was the Duke of Lai and held a high position in the Ming Dynasty. He also admired Zhan Ruoshui and Chen Xianzhang so much. What does this mean?
It is in line with the nature of "developing conscience". There is no dispute and there is the beauty of virtue, so academics can be established.
After the debate between Zhu Houzhao and Zhan Ruoshui, the debate over Neo-Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism has not yet ended. People from different schools will still come to the stage to preach, and factional disputes will form.
It seems that Zhu Houzhao has completed his mission. Because his identity has been exposed, he can no longer stay in public for a long time. This is for his safety.
Zhu Houzhao faced Zhang Zhou and said with a sullen expression, "Sir, my performance is okay."
Zhang Zhou just nodded in approval.
Cheng Minzheng smiled and said, "It's time to return to the city."
The "return to the city" here also means "return", probably to remind Zhang Zhou that you can help the prince become famous. , now that things are almost progressing, it is time to consider sending the prince back to the capital as soon as possible.
Xu Ru said, "Guys, I have a separate courtyard by the Mochou Lake. Why don't you move over there? Your Majesty, the prince, would like to use the friendship of the landlord."
Mochou Hunan Garden's Farewell The courtyard is an ancestral property of the Xu family. According to legend, it was given to Xu Da by Zhu Yuanzhang and inherited by Wei Guogong in the mid-Ming Dynasty.
Xu Er originally curried favor with Zhang Zhou, but now that the prince was here, of course he had to curry favor with Zhu Houzhao. Although he did not understand why the emperor would allow a ten-year-old child to go to Jiangnan, the identity of the prince in front of him was unknown. You are wrong. Although Xu Yan has not returned to the capital for several years, I have seen the prince go to celebrate his birthday during the Qianqiu Festival.
"Is there any other courtyard? Is there a theater troupe? I want to listen to the opera."
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be a Confucian scholar before, but when he turned his face, he seemed to reveal his true colors.
Xu Yan said with a smile, "I will invite a troupe as the prince. I will let you sing whatever you want to hear."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, let's Let's go over and talk about apprenticeship." Zhu Houzhao looked excited.
My previous performance in front of others made me proud.
Zhang Zhou also said that as long as he behaves well in Jiangnan this time and gains fame and prestige, his father will punish him lightly when he returns to the palace.
Thinking that after playing all the way, Zhu Houzhao might be able to get a different look from his old father after returning, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.
The ten-year-old boy is attracted by people not only because of his identity, but also because of his knowledge. The feeling is unparalleled.
Zhang Zhou seemed to also notice that this boy had a certainThe gene for showing off. Thinking about how many things this kid has done in the future, either he likes to mess around and have fun, or he likes the feeling of being praised. It seems that everything can be explained.
Zhang Zhouxing is leaving Shuiting.
After getting off the viewing platform, Sun Che and the others were still waiting there dullly. At this time, they did not dare to look directly at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Sir, you have seen all three of them. What do you think of them?" Zhang Zhou said, "They can be considered talents."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Hu Feng may not be considered the most philistine, but this time he was also the most courageous and dared to take the initiative to answer the conversation.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "Today I am lucky enough to be named sir. Why don't I accept the three of them as disciples? Sir, you can help the students to palm their eyes and see if it is feasible."
"I don't dare to accept it."
The three of them knelt down with a puff.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "The prince wants to accept disciples. I can't ask about it, but the prince still asked your majesty for such a big matter. The prince's children are afraid that they really can't afford it."
Both. He is said to be a disciple of the emperor.
And these three people will be directly accepted by the prince as students. They have not even received the title of Juren, and they are going to fly to the branches and become phoenixes
Zhang Zhou In fact, I also wanted to remind Zhu Houzhao.
When you become emperor, let alone accept them as students, even if you accept them as sons, no one will stop you.
But you have a father now. Your father is a very polite person. He will casually let you accept these three people as students. How will they stand up in the future?
"You three "Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Sun Che and the others, "You are quite good at handling things along the way. Follow me first. After returning to the capital, I will accept you as students depending on the situation. From now on, you will call Mr. Zhang the ancestor." /p>
"The student has seen the prince and the founder"
Hu Feng seems to be the weakest in knees and the most knowledgeable.
Sun Che and Gong Yeping are not as thick-skinned as him. They are still hesitating whether to move closer to Zhang Zhou's disciples. They also realize that now that the prince has accepted Zhang Zhou as his disciple, the emperor still It may not be allowed, and it is even less reliable for the prince to accept them as his students.
It is a bit early to go to worship the ancestor. It is easy to be extremely happy and sad.
Xu Yan said, "Your Highness, there are many people here, please move away."
"Okay, let's go to the other courtyard, and the three of you will follow." Zhu Houzhao said in high spirits, "Today The weather is really nice. I guess Mr. Zhang is sure that today will be a good day. He will definitely teach me about metaphysics in the future."
"Let's go."
Zhang Zhou urged him angrily.
You, the boy, became a disciple in the name of a Confucian disciple, but you want to learn how to control the wind and rain, which is unsatisfactory
Zhang Zhou and the prince and his entourage left Shuiting.
The scholars watching on the shore had already known the identities of several people, and they cheered endlessly. Zhu Houzhao alsoEnjoyed the scenery of being supported by others.
After the group arrived at Xu's villa, it was almost past noon.
The debate in Shuiting is still going on, and there are many people preaching knowledge on the shore. However, for most of the people present who followed Zhang Zhou to Jiangnan, the day's event ended a little too quickly. , and most people didn’t have the opportunity to go up and hear the debate with their own ears, and they didn’t know what was being preached.
After Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao left, many scholars in Mochou Lake also dispersed.
Li Zhaoxian and his party went to a nearby restaurant to rest, and also inquired about the debate in the water court. When Li Zhaoxian came back, Li Jue was still sitting at the window watching the scenery.
"Little sister, we can go back." Li Zhaoxian said.
Li Jue turned around and asked, "Brother, I won't explore knowledge with my classmates anymore."
"No, I'd better tell you what happened over there." Li Zhaoxian was about to Tell me what you know.
A classmate next door came over to say goodbye and said, "Master Li, today's trip is really worth it. It's a pity that I couldn't see the prince's apprenticeship with my own eyes. In the future, if the prince praises and promotes Xinxue, he will definitely be able to spread it in China." Stand firm. It's better to find a way to become a disciple."
Li Zhaoxian said, "The Zhang School of Mind has not yet officially opened its academy for apprenticeships. If it does, I will definitely go there to study." /p>
"Me and others, we'll just say goodbye." Many people went downstairs.
After these people left, Li Ju asked, "Is it the prince?"
"Yes." Li Zhaoxian said, "It has been confirmed that he is the prince, and he is still on Master Zhang's side. , discussing Taoism with Zhan Ruoshui from Baisha, guess what, the prince actually made Zhan Ruoshui speechless. This is the content of the conversation, which has been recorded in detail, take a look."
Li Jue. At first, I naturally didn’t believe that a ten-year-old child could defeat a long-established scholar.
But after she read the content, she realized that what this ten-year-old child said was a very profound insight.
"Those three poems were indeed written by the prince. Outsiders are praising them, saying that the prince's studies are of great significance to the past. I am afraid that he is one of the few scholars since ancient times, and his talent is comparable to that of the south." The Empress of the Tang Dynasty was no less generous."
The emperor was recognized as having the most talent in poetry, and he was Li Yu.
Li Jue said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, yes, it's not easy to compare the Empress of the Tang Dynasty to others, but in fact, I didn't say that." Li Zhaoxian said, " But there are also people who are secretly gossiping, saying that those three poems may not have been written by the prince, but someone secretly made them to show off the prince's reputation. I guess they are just rumors. Who in the world can think of these three poems. Even if it is done, why not give it to the prince? Why not make a name for himself?"
Li Jue did not respond.
What she was thinking of was actually Lin Yi.
Isn’t it just that Lin Yi is obviously a “talented woman”, but she doesn’t seem to pursue fame or anything like that?The poem was only shown to her, but the world didn’t know it yet
If life were just like the first time we met
Every time he thought of that poem, Li Wei would feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart , that seems to be the charm of literature.
"The prince and Master Zhang have left. It's time for us to return to the city. Your sister-in-law should be waiting impatiently." Li Zhaoxian said, "It's been a long time since I've been out. Let's see if there is a chance in the next two days. We will attend the literary conference and visit the famous scholars in Yingtian Mansion. After everything is over, it is time for us to leave for the north." "Yes." Li Wei looked thoughtfully, suddenly looking at Li Zhaoxian eagerly. , "Brother, before I leave, I would like to visit the female gentleman. Can you help me make arrangements?"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. If you don't get an invitation, you have to visit the female family members of the Duke's Mansion. Being known will cause others to gossip." Li Zhaoxian did not agree.
Li Jue said, "If you and I don't tell, my father will definitely not know."
For Li Jue, it seems that as long as the old father doesn't know, everything will be okay.
Li Zhaoxian sighed, "Let me try it for you. In fact, I also know that little sister, you regard Zhang's child as a confidant and someone you admire, and her talent and character are indeed worthy of your respect." , but she is already married, so you can’t force her.”
“Yes.” Li Jue said, “Please, brother.”
Xu’s family.
When Zhang Zhou and others climbed up to the pavilion, the scenery they saw was better than what they saw on the water pavilion. The scenery of Mochou Lake appeared in front of them like a painting.
Xu Yan also seemed very proud. After all, this was the property of his ancestors. Even though he was very flattering to Zhang Zhou, he did not say that he would give this property to Zhang Zhou because he knew that this was probably This is the most valuable property of the Duke of Wei, and he is reluctant to give it away to others.
“What a great place.” Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, let Bachelor Cheng discuss knowledge with you, and I will discuss some official matters with Wei Guogong."
"Can't I listen?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "You are not suitable to listen."
"Forget it, you go ahead and talk. I'll take a look at the scenery here and quickly find the troupe." Zhu Houzhao now Now that I have gained a reputation, I’m thinking about how to play.
I have probably finished some official duties, my father’s errands have also been completed, and the rest is my personal play time.
But it seems that he has completely forgotten that he has been having fun.
"Lai Guogong, tell me what you have to say."
In the flower hall outside the pavilion courtyard, Xu Yan was a little more respectful to Zhang Zhou.
Even if Zhang Zhou had a good relationship with the emperor, he was still so close to the prince. The prince simply regarded Zhang Zhou as a combination of husband and father. According to rumors, no one was convinced. The prince liked to play around. He was actually obedient to Zhang Zhou
The thing about being an emperor and a courtier cannot be reflected in Zhang Zhou.
Or if the prince becomes emperor, Zhang Zhou’s status may be higher than it is now.It still needs to be stable
Zhang Zhoudao said, "To be honest, I came to Nanjing for two major events. The first one was related to the clan. I don't ask Duke Wei for help. But the other one is related to the clan." To build ships along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wei Guogong's help was needed."
"Shipbuilding"
Of course Xu Yan knew about Tang Yin's raising money and food in Jiangnan.
But getting money from others is not an easy task.
Zhang Zhou said, “There are many business investors, and most of them are long-term investments. They don’t necessarily think that they can earn enough profits by going overseas. In fact, what I am worried about now is not the issue of money and food dispatch. But manpower."
Xu Chu asked, "So Lai Guogong wants me to recruit manpower from the coastal guard station."
"This is not something Wei Guogong has to worry about. I don't care what I say." In Nanjing’s military affairs, it is not difficult to transfer a few people,” Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
"That"
Xu Yan almost wanted to say.
You don’t want money or people, so what are you talking about to me? You lack connections and it’s not like me. No matter how high Mr. Xu’s status is in Jiangnan, he still doesn’t have as many connections as Duke Cheng, or you, Duke Lai, are now Because of your prestige in the military, even those civil servants who oppose you will have to give you a little less favor.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I want Duke Wei to come forward and preside over this matter."
< p>"Cough cough cough"Only then did Xu Chu realize that your drunkard's intention is not the wine, but my people.
You don’t want my property, but you actually want my people
It’s so cruel.
Zhang Zhoudao "His Majesty appointed the governor of Bohai, namely Tang Bohu. He had no actual experience in leading troops in the north, but he promoted internal changes in North Korea."
" I heard that he is brave and resourceful." Xu Meng didn't think anything of it when he mentioned Tang Yin.
In Xu Yan's eyes, the rank of North Korea is still too low. If you Tang Yin have the ability to rebel in the Ming Dynasty, you will be wiped out in an instant.
Zhang Zhoudao: "But he has always been a civil servant, and his prestige in the court is insufficient. In the next few years, or even more than ten years, the maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty will become a top priority. Doesn't Wei Guogong want to do something about it?" Pioneer"
"Haizheng" Xu Yan shook his head.
He never felt that Ming Dynasty's coastal defense would become a weak link, nor did he feel that "going to the West" would achieve anything, or even feel that there would be any benefits from this.
Zhang Zhoudao said, "Having said this, Wei Guogong can think about it. Unless Wei Guogong returns to the capital, another thing that is close to national policy for the Ming Dynasty is to send troops to the grassland to plan."
"Hiss"
Xu Yan frowned.
If my feelings don’t help you with maritime affairs, you just want to push me to go to Jiubian to drink the northwest wind, right?
You are evil
You tormented the emperor and the Ming Dynasty courtiers Forget it, even I have to go through the trouble
Why did I offend you
"The troupe is here." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Wei GuogongThink about it carefully, let me put it this way, there is something that Your Majesty is thinking about overseas, and once you get it, the world will be very different. The merits and achievements behind it are extraordinary. ”
“What Your Majesty is thinking of”
Xu Yan naturally thought of the immortal grass immediately.
It seems that there is nothing more powerful than this. Let the emperor think about it.
But he doesn’t believe that there is such a thing in the world. But if these words come from Zhang Zhou’s mouth, the credibility will actually be improved a lot.
p>This is what Zhang Zhou wants Xu Yan to think.
Only if Xu Yan thinks that there is something extraordinary overseas, he will board the ship.
Otherwise, let me tell you, going to sea is just to conquer overseas territories, accumulate resources and industrialize the Ming Dynasty, or to conquer the whole world or bring back those products from the Americas
Often it is those mysterious fairy things, but they can Inspiring people's spirit of seeking.
While the Nanjing Dawen Conference was going on, Wang Shouren's six thousand troops also entered the grassland nearly two thousand miles away from Liao Pass. In the hinterland, the first thing he faced on the grassland was not an ordinary small tribe, but the Chahar tribe's tribe lurking in the rear.
The Chahar tribe belongs to Batu Monk. The headquarters, which mainly operates in the Eastern Mongolia region, borders the territory of the Duoyan Sanwei.
Because there is a desert in the middle, and the Duoyan Sanwei serves as a barrier, the Ming Dynasty has always been reluctant to use troops in Liaodong since the founding of the country. Wen Buhuo, even if the Chahar tribe wanted to defeat them, they never expected that the Ming army would cross a distance of two thousand miles from Liaodong and reach their hinterland.
However, the Chahar tribe is also divided into many parts. Factions and small tribes
The first thing Wang Shouren faced was a small tribe with a population of several hundred tribes. When they gathered their cattle and sheep together in the mountains, the tribes left behind them. The men and horses are responsible for grazing, and their main force is still in the south to guard against the Ming Dynasty moving north
It's not that their tribal population doesn't want to plunder the Ming Dynasty, but they are not qualified yet.
Batu Mengke went to Ningxia as the absolute main force of the Chahar tribe. Small and marginal tribes like them were not qualified.
But when the Ming army wanted to conquer the grassland, they were treated badly. Treat everyone equally.
“Major General, we have found out that there are no signs of other tribe activities within a radius of fifty miles. Thirty miles to the north is a desert. "The scout informed Wang Shouren of the information in detail.
Wang Shouren knew very well that he was in a dangerous situation, in the hinterland of the Tatars. Before using troops, he still had to find out the opponent's situation first, in case it was a trap and fell into a tight siege. , but it’s not good.
There are no reinforcements, and there is no direction to break out.
Wang Shouren said, “On the eleventh day after entering the grassland, there has been no fighting, so we took the Tatars in front of us first. When the child comes to offer sacrifices to the flag, he will be killed without mercy, and no human or animal property will be left behind." Please remember to bookmark it.
