First Minister of Ming Dynasty

"cannot!"

Hua Yun was shocked, and Zhang Ximeng explained: "The new Bailudong Academy is open to all common people... If you want it too, I propose to go to the lord and ask the lord to be gracious.

"Superior?"

"That's right! It's just to encourage the superiors to set up a top school in Yingtian. At that time, the two schools can be counted as the top schools in the country, each with its own emphasis.

Wouldn't it be better?

"Hey! Mister's idea is really good... The superior asked me to ask you, in fact, I should..."

Hua Yun stopped suddenly, he realized something was wrong, turned around and fled.

Zhang Ximeng was speechless, Zhu Yuanzhang!I'm doing something, why are you staring at me all the time?

Is it because the military is not busy, or is it okay to be idle?

No matter how Zhang Ximeng complained, he had to obediently put on his official uniform and lead the officials and people to meet Lao Zhu.

Riding on horseback, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Jiangzhou again, accompanied by many generals.

"My lord, welcome to the lord, congratulations to King Wu, a complete victory!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Mr. won a big victory bigger than ours, which is really gratifying!"

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice and said: "Sir, can we replace the way of Confucius and Mencius with your way of Zhang Zi?"

Chapter 364 Going to the White Deer Cave

What is Zhang Zi's way?

Can this be said casually?

"My lord, I don't know what Zhang Zi's way is, and I don't think anyone can replace Confucius and Mencius. Moreover, I secretly think that the lord just won a big victory. It's the time when the momentum is like a rainbow. When he swallows the sun and the moon, he should have the emperor's heart. Ninth Five Years Zi, the watch of the sun and the moon.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, good fellow, teach us a lesson directly, you, Mr. Zhang, have made it clear that you want to be a famous minister through the ages!

Old Zhu couldn't say much, so he could only pretend to be overjoyed, "What the teacher taught me is that it's all our momentary joy, so it's unavoidable to be frivolous. Thanks to the reminder, sir!"

Zhang Ximeng also quickly shut up, just said to welcome the lord. Sure enough, Lao Zhu, surrounded by all the civil and military people, and welcomed by the people, entered Jiangzhou with joy.

When Chen Youliang became king in Jiangzhou, he immediately ordered the construction of the palace. He set aside a piece of land for the boss, not to mention the palace, even the palace was enough.

However, he lost too quickly, he didn't even lay a good foundation, and it was moistened, leaving the good place to Lao Zhu in vain.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who can enjoy it. He just asked for the original magistrate's yamen, and he also took out the first half and gave it to his ministers to work.

He only chose the backyard to live temporarily.

"We will not establish Jiangzhou as our capital, and we don't want a palace. We will post a notice later that all people whose homes have been invaded by the palace enclosure can seek justice. We will return the land to them and help them resettle."

As soon as Lao Zhu came up, he eliminated a bad government, which was naturally praised. .

But Lao Zhu listened, and felt that Zhang Ximeng's reminder made sense.

He just won the battle, and his momentum was indeed like a rainbow, and his whole body swelled up a lot.

The people below are also more and more awed, and all they hear is flattery. In the past few days, he has heard more praise and flattery than the previous years combined.

Even people like Chang Yuchun learn from the wisdom and wisdom of the superior... Surrounded by these people, Zhu Yuanzhang really feels that he is just love and hope, the April sky in the world, and the Taibai Immortal in the sky. Fooling shit, there are people who are flattering, it's really hard work to be in charge.

Mr. Zhang is still honest and honest, he is our confidant, good teacher and helpful friend.

Therefore, Lao Zhu immediately invited Zhang Ximeng to the back, and the two monarchs and ministers had to talk quickly, report the situation, and discuss the next thing without delay.

"Sir, in fact, we are just talking casually, there is no other meaning. It's just that Zhang Dingbian said that we can beat Chen Youliang, but there are many talents around us.

Look at the people under King Wu?Wen You Zhang Ximeng, Li Shanchang, Yang Yuangao, Song Lian, Wu You Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, Zhu Wenzheng... who are Chen Youliang here?You let Zhang Bixian be the pioneer, can he be the one?Can't do it, you don't have the ability to know?

Indeed, it could be seen that Lao Zhu was in a good mood, he danced and danced, imitating Zhang Dingbian's tone, and vividly expressed his heartbroken and remorseful appearance.

Even the enemy knows Zhang Ximeng's name, and Zhang Ximeng went to Bailudong Academy in the past few days, and a new work was released, Lao Zhu just joked casually,

There is really no other meaning.

Zhang Ximeng also smiled and said: "My lord, I don't have any other intentions. My lord is different from the past, and I should be happier. Just don't mess up the situation. It's fine if things go wrong. In fact, I really like to listen to the beautiful words." Ci, otherwise, I wouldn't have arranged so many talented people under my command. They praised people more than martial arts!

Old Zhu was stunned... Good Zhang Ximeng, we thought you valued scholars because you cherished talents and did things for us wholeheartedly!

I didn't expect to like to listen to people's flattering!

We made a note of it!

Old Zhu's face was dark, and he glared at Zhang Ximeng, hurry up and tell him, otherwise we will never end with you!

Zhang Ximeng felt that Lao Zhu's eyes were not looking well, so he quickly changed the subject, "My lord, it's just a joke. In fact, I feel that I really shouldn't have the intention of overthrowing the way of Confucius and Mencius. This is a very big thing. I beg my lord to think it over carefully, no matter what happens." Don't ever act like this!"

Zhang Ximeng retracted his smile, and his tone was particularly dignified.

Lao Zhu also gradually became serious, "Mister, do you think the tree has deep roots and is hard to shake?"

"There are elements of that, but it's not the main one."

"What is that?" Old Zhu said, "Sir, you have talked so much over the years, at least Neo Confucianism is a bad thing, shouldn't it be completely overthrown?"

Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "My lord, in fact, whether we admit it or not, not only the principles of Confucianism and Mencius, but also the ideas of Neo-Confucianism, a considerable part of them have been internalized into our bones, and they are inseparable. Ask how it is clear, for the source of living water. I am also very convinced of Zhu Xi's method of studying and studying. Of course, I disagree with the conclusions he drew. As for the basis of his arguments, I am even more contemptuous.

"Treat things that used to be, and they have been handed down for more than 2000 years. They go deep into every aspect and pervasive things... Who can make such a rich and diverse thing in a hurry, empty all people's heads, and then fill them up again? No Come on, it just can't be done!"

Zhang Ximeng said earnestly: "My lord, I think what I should do is to include the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism into the past millennium, and make a temporary cut, so as not to let these things interfere with the lord's governance. Then when there is a need, I will use it from the pile of old papers." Turn it out, modify it a little, re-explain it, take it out again, and fill in the blanks. How to choose or not is all up to the master.”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened silently, and couldn't help but nod his head, "Sir, you always give us a good idea!"

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while, and said again: "My lord, let Rong Chen say a few more words. In fact, not only the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, but also Cheng Zhu's Neo Confucianism, and these things proposed by me are all tools in the hands of the lord. The lord is the monarch. Thunder, rain and dew , It’s all God’s grace. There is absolutely no way of Zhang Zi, and there is no way of Confucius and Mencius. The lord is like the only sun in the world, and no one is allowed to cover the ray of the lord.

Old Zhu looked at Zhang Ximeng awe-inspiringly, frowned and said, "Sir, are you afraid that we will be suspicious?"

"No!"

Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "The minister is worried that the lord's power is not strong, and he won't be able to reverse the changes in the millennium!"

Just ask the courtiers in the world, who doesn't want to steal the Lord's prestige, and how many people are afraid that the king's authority is not enough!Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly, his thoughts were surging, and he sighed secretly.

Intrigues on the battlefield, complicated state affairs... The more you are afraid of losing control, the easier it is to be suspicious of civil and military affairs, and it is impossible to trust unconditionally.

But in front of Zhang Ximeng, Lao Zhu really relaxed completely, without any doubts.If you have anything to say, besides talking to Ma Shi, that is, talking to Zhang Ximeng,

We can talk without reservation.

"Sir, you want us to promote the millennium change, we also have this idea, but what exactly is this millennium change, sir, can you tell us? So that we have a goal!"

Zhang Ximeng replied: "My lord, the so-called changes in the millennium. At first, I thought that the king and the people shared the world. Later, I thought that I would divide the overseas territories and establish an unprecedented vast territory. Later, I thought about establishing a new school to educate the common people. But now I have a feeling that this millennium change requires people of insight from all over the world,

Let's do it together!Thousands of readers are needed to give a perfect answer together! "

Old Zhu frowned. What Zhang Ximeng talked about today was obviously too in-depth. The situation was so big that Lao Zhu couldn't stand it.

"Sir, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of scholars are unwilling to do things for us!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "This is another reason why I oppose the overthrow of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and it is also the reason why I don't want to talk about Zhang Zi's teachings. This question must be solved by everyone in the world. Only in this way can we give a good answer."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally sighed helplessly, "When manpower is exhausted, we must recruit talents. I understand what you mean, but what should we do?"

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, then said with a smile: "My lord, if you are willing, I propose to reopen the Bailudong Academy."

Lao Zhu nodded immediately, "We have agreed to this matter a long time ago, to cultivate talents, of course we have nothing to say!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "But I have an idea."

"What do you think?" Old Zhu asked.

"My minister's idea is to use the name of reopening the Bailudong Academy to put Confucius and Mencius together with the pre-Qin schools of thought... After the school, we must teach all courses and read a lot of books. You don't have to stick to the opinions of the school, as long as it is a good idea. , all inclusive, integrated into one furnace, and finally summed up a set suitable for us. Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, "Sir, can this work?Are you not afraid that all schools of thought will fight together? "

Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, "My lord, in fact, I have studied Zhu Xi's academic regulations these days, and I have long since discovered that his Neo Confucianism is quite different from Confucianism.

Including Dong Zhongshu, the same is true.They didn't learn anything from Confucianism, but they first had a certain opinion, and then used the words of the sages to explain their own ideas.They can stand out, but justify themselves better than others.

I am not a sage, a sage is just my tool man!

Really suddenly enlightened, and the realm came up all of a sudden.

Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly chewed and thought, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Sir, you should prepare some books for us, and we must study hard.

In the past, we were all determined to fight Chen Youliang, but we missed our studies and couldn't keep up with Mr. It's really embarrassing! "

Zhang Ximeng can't laugh or cry, but you said that you want to put your experience on the military, and if you lose, isn't what I said are all castles in the air, dreams?

"My lord, I thought reading could be postponed for a few days. Right now, we need to deal with the captives, deal with the aftermath of the war, reward meritorious soldiers, divide the land evenly, and start new learning... All these things must be handled by the lord himself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm afraid these matters will all be resolved in Bailu Cave, right?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "The last time I was just exploring the way, the Lord is the one who will decide the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his fist and said angrily, "Okay, let's go to Bailu Cave!"

Chapter 365 Education

In order to go to Bailudong Academy, Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized [-] cavalry, led by Hua Yun, to open the way in front, and then Chang Yuchun's generals led [-] soldiers to follow. Let's go together.

There was Feng Guoyong in the back who commanded the troops to cut off the rear, back and forth, and took out a total of 5000 people, mighty and powerful, Zhu Ying mixed in the team, looked back and forth, and saw that he was terrified and knew that he was going to Bailu Cave Academy, those who didn't know thought that the whole army was going to attack Chen Youliang!

This time, the godfather really paid a lot of money.

Looking at this posture, is it possible that Bailudong Academy is going to be promoted?

It stands to reason that this is just a preparation for learning, and even one person will not die... But there is such a murderous aura that lingers in the heart and lungs, which makes people feel that it is more dangerous than the real battlefield. Not long ago, Zhang Dingbian led an army of [-] to attack Fuliang. Although Zhu Ying was afraid, he could still handle it, but today's murderous intent is ten times that of the past, a hundred times what is really strange!

Obviously Chen Youliang was defeated, and Jiangzhou fell into the hands of his godfather. The overall situation has been settled, so why do people still feel hairy?

Zhu Ying drove the war horse, and sneaked up to Zhang Ximeng's side, wanting to ask his elder brother.

But he found that Zhang Ximeng was lowering his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Zhu Ying scratched her heart and liver, but she didn't dare to disturb Zhang Ximeng.

Just as they continued to be tenacious and were getting closer to the academy, news suddenly came from ahead.

"Superior, there are nearly a hundred Jiangxi celebrities, Hongru, who came to pay a visit together, asking to see the superior..."

Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhu Yuanzhang reined in his horse suddenly with a dignified expression.He looked back subconsciously, and Zhang Ximeng also slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

What should come will still come.

Moreover, a hundred people came at once, which is really surprising. It seems that these scholars have a lot of backbone, and I don't know who gave them?

"My lord, since he has come to your door, you can't be negligent!"

Lao Zhu nodded, "Okay, let them come over and find an open place. Let's also listen to what great teachings these great scholars can have!"

The subordinates agreed and hurried to go.Not long after, a group of people dressed in dark clothes and fluttering big headscarves came in a file. There were two people at the head, bowing down together and saluting deeply

"Grassman Qian Tang, pay homage to King Wu!"

"Cao Min exposes Wen'an and salutes the King of Wu."

Health:

We beat Chen Youliang away, and we wanted to meet the Jiangxi elites to discuss the governance of the region. The rich country and rich Qian Tang bowed immediately, "If you go back to His Royal Highness, the blue sky is above, the soil is thick here, there are the peaks of the five elders, and there is Poyang How can it be considered simple when the lake is beautiful and beautiful on a good day?

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, "What a great talent... Judging by your accent, doesn't it look like a Jiangxi native?"

Qian Tang bowed, "I want to teach King Wu that Caomin is from Xiangshan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback. Xiangshan was in Ningbo in the later generations, and now it belongs to Qingyuan Road. Although it is under the rule of Fang Guozhen in name, in fact, many scholars in Xiangshan and other places have come to work in Zhu's army. Fang Guozhen can't control a Xiangshan person anyway. Instead of serving the King of Wu, he ran to Jiangxi, and at this juncture, leading a group of scholars to visit Lao Zhu is really interesting.

"Qian Tang, how do you think our governance is? Why did you come to Jiangxi?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly, this is tantamount to blaming Qian Tang, why didn't he join Zhu's army 2

Qian Tang was also not afraid, and he said eloquently, "My family teacher has gone away, and I don't have any intention of fame. I just study and cultivate myself."

"Who is the teacher?" Old Zhu asked.

"Men, a Confucianist of Confucianism, surnamed Huang, given name, styled Jinqing."

Huang Mo!

When this person was mentioned, Zhu Jiajun couldn't help being startled, but then he understood.

Huang Pan was the scholar Hongru who stood up for Gang Chang and denounced Zhang Ximeng as a traitor when Zhang Ximeng suggested erecting a kneeling statue of Yan Gou.

Didn't expect this guy to be dead!

How did such a good person die?It would be a beautiful thing to have a good debate again!

Now that Qian Tang came over, could it be to complain to his teacher?
