First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Tianxia is big enough to accommodate several interest groups.

Gentlemen, nobles, eunuchs...Although fighting is inevitable, they can still cooperate and coexist.

But according to what Zhang Ximeng did, put the big guys on the same stage, grab the admission places together, and grab the future officialdom share together,

It is unacceptable to the gentry and Confucianists. There can be two gangs on a street, but one gang can only have one sun.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty.

Even if the descendants of the gentry can still occupy a considerable share in the future, they absolutely cannot accept it.

Why should we fight for food with these vulgar warriors?

Gentle sweeping the floor, no face left!

On the contrary, the more uncomfortable and angry they were, the more excited the meritorious soldiers were. Zhang Ziming was still reserved, but the fortune-teller was dancing, crying and laughing, like crazy.

Is this man crazy?

maybe!

"I'm not stupid. I studied in a private school for three years, and I learned a lot of words, and I might also memorize them. I speak a set of words, and the friends around me like to listen to my stories.

I don’t have any relatives or old friends to support me, and I have no way to study, so I can only write paperwork for others, and then I walk around the rivers and lakes, and I am wronged.

Some things are a bit cruel to be broken. For most people, it's not hard enough, nor talented enough.

.It is that there are no connections at all, no conditions, and no idea where to go if you want to work hard. Invisible barriers keep people in different circles, making people feel ineffective every day and silent. .I have no choice but to live my whole life in a daze, even life after life, endlessly.

And Zhang Ximeng has been tossing and tossing until today, and finally he has torn open a hole in the most stubborn fortress of education, although there is still a thousand miles away from the real fairness.

But there are a few basic principles that have finally been put forward.

Education belongs to everyone, not exclusive to scholar-bureaucrats.

Education is a public tool, not a stage for some great Confucian scholars to preach their views and criticize Zhu Xi by name.Although the Qingyuan Party banned a lot of slanders against Zhu Xi, which seemed not so authentic, but Zhu Xi may not be innocent by using the name of giving lectures to influence the court.

Furthermore, Zhang Ximeng brought up another very important thing, officials must pass examinations, and officials must also come from official schools.

From education to official administration, Zhang Ximeng laid out the direction of the next step.

It can be said to be layer upon layer, impeccable.

Not to mention Qian Tang, even if his teacher Huang Jin was resurrected and brought back three other famous scholars from hell together to form the Four Heavenly Kings and challenge Zhang Ximeng, they would still be beaten to pieces. Zhang Ximeng probably won, and he even won. But it seems that Zhang Ximeng is not satisfied, he even sent an invitation to Qian Tang and others.

"There are no distinctions in education, fairness and justice. I think any scholar should have a great ambition to govern the country and the world. I know that it is not easy to overcome my own prejudices and limitations.

But I also believe that there will always be someone who can look at the world and achieve great things.to this day,

Daxing education is unstoppable.Come join us, you have all read a lot and understand a lot.As long as you can reflect on yourself and correct some wrong concepts, you can join this great cause, and achieve others as well as yourself. ,

Zhang Ximeng extended the invitation carefully, and among this group of people, some of them were immediately moved.

Together, these people must be against these propositions.

But it's hard to say if a single person stands up and lets them make a choice.

Want to be an officer?

King Wu has it here.

Want to be famous?

It seems that the opportunity is also in front of you. Why do you want to make life difficult for yourself?

Almost instantly, many people were ready to defect.

Qian Tang's face was very embarrassed. They came here under the guise of worshiping King Wu and admonishing King Wu, not to directly resist Lao Zhu.

After all, what would they do for a few scholars in the face of thousands of troops?

It's just that they were full of confidence and came to reason, but lost to Zhang Ximeng in the field they were best at, which was embarrassing.

Lima, they couldn't find a high-sounding reason at all. They wanted to besiege Zhang Ximeng by relying on their numbers and power. That would mean they would not pay attention to people like Xu Da. After all, the time was too short, they were not given a chance at all, and it was too late to buy them off these generals.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng couldn't do these things to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in Dadu.

Don't look at him as a Mongol, but I'm sorry for his subordinates. All civil servants and generals, almost without exception, are inextricably linked with the people below.

If you want to take a stab at this system, I'm sorry, you will only be ruined.

Zhang Ximeng naturally seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he continued to follow the temptation, "Qian Tang, it is indeed Shilin's loss to send the master away.

But I thought you wanted to rely on studying and study to answer the doubts in your heart, I'm afraid it won't work.You have to actually do things and experience them yourself before you can find out and see what is right.

Qian Tang's face was dark. Of course he didn't agree with Zhang Ximeng's statement, but how could he refuse in such a situation?

"Thank you Zhang Xiang for your love, Wansheng is very grateful, but I have been out of school for a long time, and I still want to go back to my hometown and have a look with my parents before I can make a decision.

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "It's reasonable, I will arrange someone to escort you back home safely."

Qian Tang's complexion suddenly changed again, after all, he just lowered his head, speechless to Zhang Ximeng, then smiled and looked at the others, "We welcome all people of insight who agree with our proposition, reopen the school, promote education,

Take the imperial examination to select scholars and select talents for the country. Don't miss this opportunity!

This time, among the group of people, there was finally a reaction,

Several scholars simply stood up and said directly that they were willing to be loyal to the King of Wu and do things for the King of Wu. They didn't ask for high officials and generous salary.

The Jiangxi gentry alliance finally disintegrated.

It is logical that soldiers are bloodless.

It seems easy, but when you are in it, even a person with little knowledge and few big characters can clearly feel it.

Zhang Xianggong won a complete victory.

Helped them fight a big victory, and snatched a large profit from the gentry. From now on, their descendants will be very different. Chen Youliang was even happier.

Sure enough, confronting Chen Youliang was just a side dish, and dealing with Jiangxi gentry was the real highlight.

And this drama has finally come to its best time.

Zhu Yuanzhang led civil and military officials, meritorious soldiers, horse infantry soldiers, including Qian Tang and others, to Bailudong Academy together.

As Lao Zhu walked all the way, he saw the fields connecting fields and the mountains and rivers... Lao Zhu couldn't help admiring that the location of this academy is really great.

He stopped at the gate of the academy,

Looking at the two sides again, Lao Zhu suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, I remember you said that the pre-Qin scholars and the studies of a hundred schools of thought should be put together, and the essence should be taken and the dross should be discarded. Where are the stone statues of the philosophers for the students to look up to?

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing, okay, Lao Zhu's brain is really powerful, and he found a solution to the things mentioned above so quickly.

"I think your lord's proposal is very appropriate. The White Deer Cave Academy used to be the best in the world, but now it is not easy to introduce the old and bring forth the new. First of all, there must be a sufficient structure, including hundreds of schools, and integrating the ancient and modern. appropriate.

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he looked at the others. On Zhu Jiajun's side, most of them agreed, but one person's face changed suddenly.

Qian Tang couldn't help but took a big step forward, "No!"

Zhang Ximeng looked at him with a half-smile, "Why not?"

Qian Tang took a deep breath and said loudly

"The way of Confucius and Mencius is a prominent study of the past dynasties. Among the scholars in the world, who is not a disciple of Confucius and Mencius? Who can compare with Confucius and Mencius? How can Confucius and Mencius be compared with other schools of thought? ·

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "Confucius once studied with Lao Tzu. It's okay for Confucius to be a teacher, but standing together is not enough? It seems that it can't be said. Dare to attack. Now it is too much to bear to make a fuss about the sages of Confucius and Mencius.

In any case, Confucius is the teacher of all ages. The sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is like a long night.Putting Confucius on a par with other philosophers, I can't accept it no matter what.I, I would die for Confucius!Die without regret!

Qian Tang was impassioned.

Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, he suddenly remembered something, this Qian Tang seemed to have really done such a thing.

In the original history, after Lao Zhu established the country, he once thought Mencius was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to leave Mencius from the Confucian Temple. As a result, Qian Tang risked his life to stop Lao Zhu and said similar things. He was willing to die for the sages, Die without regret!

Unexpectedly, because of Zhang Ximeng's involvement, not only did this matter not disappear, but it was brought forward.

After all, it is different!

Zhang Ximeng said lightly: "Who else thinks this is inappropriate, why not stand up together!"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified.

Do you want to stand up?

Just now Zhang Ximeng promised to give them a chance to be an official, but now that something like this happened again, is he just sitting back and letting Confucius fall into the status of one of the philosophers?

Is it possible to die for Confucius and Mencius?

When everyone was gathering, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly strode forward, his majestic eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a low voice: "Whoever is willing to follow Confucius can stand up, and if you are willing to follow us, just stay where you are. Where do you go? You choose!"

Chapter 368 All Kneeling

Along the way, I have finished explaining the reasoning, explaining and persuading me, but if that's all, I think this matter is over, and I want to simplify things.After all, neither Zhang Ximeng nor Zhu Yuanzhang thought that these people would change their minds and change their minds from now on. That would be too simple.

It's time for the most critical moment of standing in line.

among the crowd,

A little hesitation and panic, in fact, the script envisaged by these people is not like this...Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, and the army entered Jiangxi. If he wants to rule safely, he must take measures according to local conditions and take corresponding measures.

After all, who is a hero who doesn't know how to adapt? So the normal script is that they congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang, the two sides talk, the Jiangxi gentry expresses loyalty, Zhu Yuanzhang shows kindness, and then everyone is happy. Unexpectedly, not only did Zhu Jiajun not have any intention of compromise, but he also completely eliminated the matter of equalizing the land. He did not even leave the school land and placed Confucius and Mencius among the scholars. This is tantamount to psychophysics. Treat them all as specimens.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Qian Tang gritted his teeth, he was really a bit of a guy, "His Royal Highness, since the Caomin said that they would die for Confucius and Mencius, they will never break their promise! If the King of Wu wants to kill people, it starts with the Caomin, and there are still people who ask for death. !

Then we will fulfill you!

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hand to the saber, but he was faster than Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Da drew out his weapon and sneered, "Master, this Shuzi despises warriors and despises people like me, so let me send him to see the master. They are masters and apprentices." Go to the underworld to talk about the laws of heaven and people want to go!

Old Zhu subconsciously wanted to nod, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ximeng spoke up.

"Xu Da, this person offends the lord and opposes the national policy. According to reason, it is not too much to destroy his nine clans. But since the lord has said it, let them express their opinions casually, and killing people at this moment is not appropriate.

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he turned to Qian Tang and said, "You don't want to be loyal to the Lord, so what are you going to do?"

Me, I go back to my hometown to study, work on the fields, and be an idler in the mountains, isn’t it okay? "

"Yes!" Zhang Ximeng smiled, "But you have to remember that any property and houses in your family that exceed the regulations must be handed over in full, and you are not allowed to keep any more.

Also, in the future, the whole world will be government schools, and if you want to run private schools, open academies, and lecture parties, these things are not allowed.Furthermore, if you want to write articles and publish books, you must obtain permission from the local government.In addition, when going on a study tour, you must explain the situation in advance, file a report, and get a guide before you can move forward. Qian Tang listened to Zhang Ximeng's requirements one by one, the flesh on his face trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear. Killing him is ten thousand times more uncomfortable!

"Zhang Xiang, you, you are too extreme to do things like this, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of Shilin's chilling?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "You don't want to follow the King of Wu and we can't kill you casually, but it's hard to guarantee that you will harbor resentment, play tricks and corrupt the country, you can't let you do whatever you want, can you?

, follow your blackmail.

Zhang Ximeng didn't care about Qian Tang Tieqing's face and turned to other people, he said with a smile: "I know, for so many years, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, you are all superior. Don't think that the Yuan Dynasty looked down on scholars, but those are poor scholars, that is, they failed the imperial examination , and have little strength. And those who are famous and have family property can not only be officials in the Yuan Dynasty, but also help collect taxes, and their lives are very happy.

Xinji and Datianxia’s Zigao is what I just said in the Year of the Son of Heaven and the Five Peoples Sharing Mountains,

Turning around in the field, busy all day long, sweating the fields, just to have a full meal.If there is no natural or man-made disaster, no court exploitation, no sickness, then it will be Amitabha, thank God

"I think that in the Wu Kingdom of Huaxia, there is no need to provide for scholars who are unwilling to cooperate. We will not be as hopeless as Zhao Song. We need you to wipe the fat and tell all the scholars not to grow up like children. , don't think that acting like a baby is good. Honestly, after Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, the audience was shocked.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhang Ximeng had committed an old problem, and he couldn't do it when the matter came to an end.

But his reasoning made Zhu Yuanzhang feel comfortable.

For scholar-bureaucrats, killing them may not be the most painful. After all, they sacrificed their lives for the imperial staff just to get a name in the world. Absolutely the worst.

Let them face the loess and back to the sky like farmers, making their life worse than death.

But in other words, why are they superior, and why do they have no worries about food and clothing?

I didn't bully you, just let you live the same life as ordinary people, why can't it work?

Field mu is divided according to the head, and everyone is the same.

Since the official school is booming, it is not acceptable for anyone to run a private school in the future, and it is not aimed at you, Qian Tang.

As for the management of articles and books,

This is also a matter of course, regardless of the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, they have been convicted of crimes with words,

Whether it is the Wutai poetry case or the Qingyuan party ban, they have never been soft on false learning and heresy.

What Zhang Ximeng said was all reasonable and reasonable, but why did this group of people feel so panicked?

The reason is very simple, because this thing can really be done!

Zhu Jiajun has always said what he said, and what Zhang Ximeng said will not be discounted in the slightest.

In other words, as long as you choose to leave today, you will be a farmer in this life, and there is no luck at all.
