First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Qian Tang's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his face trembled slightly.

He really didn't expect that he would come to this point. He even thought that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to accept advice humbly and be a virtuous corporal, he would also be willing to serve for Zhu's army.

But how did things become like this?

What should I do myself?

He was completely at a loss, could he really just face the loess and back to the sky from now on?

"Brother Weiming, what Zhang Xiang said is all righteousness. It may not be a great way to cultivate the fields and enjoy the family relationship. You should make plans early!"

Qian Tang turned his head abruptly, and the person who spoke was Yu Gaomen, one of the gentry and celebrities who followed this time.

It's interesting to say that his name is Yu Gaomen, and his family is indeed very tall... His father's name is Yu Ji, and he was also a famous Confucian scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, no worse than Huang Pan and Jie Xisi and others.

If you go back up, the predecessors of the Yu family are even more remarkable.

It was Yu Yunwen, Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.

If we go back further, it can even be traced back to Yu Shinan, a famous official in the early Tang Dynasty...

Such a terrifying family background really deserves to be called a high school!

He stood up at this moment, and his words were like a knife stabbing Qian Tang's heart!

"Brother Gaomen, why are you in a hurry?" Qian Tang gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Gaomen didn't say anything, just laughed. Then he took out a booklet from his arms, held it with both hands, and handed it to Zhang Ximeng.

"Zhang Xiang, here is the distribution of wealthy families in Fuzhou and other places, as well as a rough estimate of the amount of their land property... It took Wan Sheng almost a year to investigate.

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while, but he didn't answer, but Sun Yan came over, took the manuscript in his hand, started to browse quickly, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, that is indeed the case!

Zhang Ximeng took the lead, and then his eyes fell on Yu Gaomen.

"How did you come up with that?

"Returning to Zhang Xiang... These Jiangxi scholars, local gentry, and local gentry have recommended some people to come here. Caomin is one of them. But these hundreds of people, not all of them have the same thoughts. Take the grassroots as an example, our Yu family I have been an official in the past dynasties, and I have experienced the weather of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I also know that the Zhao and Song Dynasties are declining, and the mountains and mountains are changing. I didn’t understand it at first. What Zhang Xiang said, I went to visit everywhere, to see the aristocratic families, and to see the local people, and the grassroots finally understood that what Zhang Xiang said was true!"

Yu Gaomen raised his head, looked excited, and clenched his fists, "Equally divide the land and relieve the people. With the power of all the people, expel the barbarians and restore China! This is the right thing to do now! Abolish school fields, promote official schools, and educate the people , a hundred schools of thought contend... This is a new age, at this juncture, how can we stay old and do nothing?"

Yu Gaomen's words were deafening.

It is really not easy for a family with many famous ministers.

He came with these people, and he had already planned to backstab these people, otherwise he would not have prepared a property list.Sure enough, there are more than one hundred people, all kinds of people.

He also wanted to see the situation of Zhu Jiajun. If Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Qian Tang and others' suggestion smoothly, then there was nothing to say. Nephew playing lanterns, let's continue as usual!

If the two sides can't argue, maybe they can fight back.

But the fact is that Zhang Ximeng was completely crushed, and the pace was bigger than Yu Gaomen expected.

Pulling down Confucius and Mencius, sacrificing hundreds of families, promoting education, and even giving poor children the opportunity to go to school... These propositions really shocked Yu Gaomen and shocked him.

He finally found the opportunity to come out and give Qian Tang a hard blow!

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the young scholar, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled, "It seems that there are so many scholars in the world, they are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and they are not all the same!"

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, several Confucian scholars rushed out and bowed to the ground.

"The king of Wu is above, and the grassroots are willing to serve the king of Wu!"

After someone took the lead, as many as dozens of people bowed down one after another. The speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping, and there were less than ten people left.

Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, but said indifferently: "You stand up, and you want to share the land."

After a moment of hesitation, the few remaining people also bowed down, including Jie Wen'an.Only Qian Tang was left standing alone...

Chapter 369 Jimin School

Confucian scholars in Jiangxi bowed down one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly restrain himself with joy on his face... The battle at Hukou and the burning of the warships were of course enjoyable, but after all, it was only a momentary victory or defeat on the battlefield. That's all.

But now is the moment to establish the overall situation and redefine the rules and regulations!

The history of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars aloof is about to come to an end. Looking at the world, there is no group of masters who dare to clamor to share the world with the emperor.

Tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of troops, and civil and military officials have all become the same people fundamentally.

Everything today will be recorded in the annals of history and become an important page.

In the future, if you want to decide what Huang Ming ancestral precepts are, what you say in front of you will be the core spirit of the ancestral precepts.

No matter how high it is, it can't be overstated.

And for such an important matter, it is impossible not to have sacrifices.

Qian Tang was lucky, he became the only one.

And it was the one who was destined to be remembered, just like his teacher Huang Mo, the two master and apprentice finally became famous in history in a similar way, it must be considered luck!

Qian Tang also had a thought, should he also kneel down and become a courtier of King Wu?

No!

There is no hope at all.

He became the first bird, and he was doomed to suffer the consequences.

If he is not unlucky, others will not be relieved. .These good friends who clearly followed him, Yu Gaomen stood up and stabbed himself.

Qian Tang didn't blame him, after all, among this group of people, there were still countless people who were holding back their anger and wanted to kill themselves secretly!

Confucianism is about to perish, and it cannot be silent. Someone must be buried with it.

Just like when the Song Dynasty fell and Prime Minister Wen was captured in Dadu, many scholars hoped that Prime Minister Wen would die quickly and become a funeral object of the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, it also preserves the dignity of the scholars, paving the way for loyalty to the new king.

Can I be compared with Prime Minister Wen?

What are you thinking!

Stop dreaming!

His family is famous for thousands of years, so it is good that he will not leave his stigma for thousands of years. Qian Tang turned around with difficulty, wanting to leave and walk towards the second half of his life destined to be dark and humiliating.

Qian Tang almost moved forward, and the eyes of the rest of the people fell on him. Some even gritted their teeth, thinking about how to make this ignorant thing die a bit more miserable, so that King Wu and Xiang Zhang could both die. Be happy...

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Ximeng suddenly stepped forward and stopped Qian Tang.

When he came over, Qian Tang was taken aback. Could it be that he didn't want to let him go, and still wanted to kill him?

Then let's do it, maybe it would be more enjoyable to be stabbed... Qian Tang looked like he was ready to kill.Unexpectedly, Zhang Ximeng took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Take it!"

Qian Tang was shocked, "Master Zhang, this?"

"This is what I wrote recently. When you return to the countryside in the future, you still need to read more books to understand the truth. This matter is for you and your descendants.

All useful.Teach them well and let them become the pillars of the future. "

Qian Tang was dumbfounded, and what was even more stupid was that Jie Wen'an and others gave Qian Tang the book written by Zhang Xiang!

This, giving him this thing is simply a waste of things.

Moreover, this book is almost like a talisman. With this book in hand, who would dare to attack Qian Tang?

What exactly does Zhang Xiang mean?Do you hate Qian Tang, or do you want to protect Qian Tang?

Why did he fall into the hole all of a sudden, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

These people don't understand, but there are many high-ranking people present, such as Zhu Sheng!

Seeing this, the old man was almost overwhelmed!

Zhang Ximeng, you've reached the pinnacle!

At Qian Tang's stage, the longer he lived, the more painful and tormented he would be. Killing him would make him cheaper.

From the perspective of punishment, it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not.

But Zhang Ximeng was even more powerful. Not only did he not kill him, but he also gave him a book, let him continue reading, taught his children and grandchildren, and said those words of encouragement.

Qian Tang has won the gold medal for avoiding death, and the people below can no longer do anything to him, and Qian Tang has a reason to live.

For a typical person like him, the longer he lives, the greater the harm he will do to people in Neo Confucianism, and it will continue.

They prefer Qian Tang to die generously. After all, there is a science. If someone is willing to fight to the death and save his life, there is always some value. Even if he dies again in the future, it is not impossible.

But like Zhang Ximeng did, after a few years, Qian Tang really enlightened and completely abandoned Neo-Confucianism. In that case, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism would really become a joke!

A similar effect is almost like the last subjugated king becoming an ordinary person, and the educational effect is directly super doubled!

Swinging a knife to kill people can only be fun for a while.

Only by killing one's heart with means can one feel comfortable for a lifetime.

Zhu Sheng is now more and more optimistic about Zhang Ximeng. This young man's realm has improved too fast. It won't be long before he may not be able to figure out what he is thinking.

The afterlife is terrifying!

Zhang Ximeng ordered to go down and ask the guards to send two people to escort Qian Tang home.

This is a real escort, it doesn't mean anything else.

"Zhang Xianggong, the ancient gentleman, is nothing more than that!"

Qian Tang saluted and then left.

A lonely figure from the back, extremely lonely and desolate, and these people who came with Qian Tang turned out to have mixed feelings, far from being happy.

Finally, this matter has come to a conclusion, and it is logical to put Confucius and Mencius together with other scholars.

Civil and military ministers accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang into the Bailudong Academy. Zhang Ximeng and Lao Zhu were only half a stature away. What about Tao An?"

Tao An!

The old Confucian who was driven back home because of salary issues.

"My lord, I heard some time ago that Tao An had died of illness. It is said that before he died, he kept calling for his superiors, weeping bitterly, and blinded both eyes."

Old Zhu was startled, he was dead!

"Stop talking about him."

Lao Zhu shook his head, and said again: "Sir, since the academy is going to be rebuilt, shouldn't it be called Bailudong Academy?"

This is a very realistic question. This place is called Bailudong, and the academy is called Bailudong. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. After all, no one thought that this small academy could become the best in the world.

But it's different now. With Zhu Yuanzhang's support and Zhang Ximeng's presidency, there is no doubt that this will be one of the top schools in the world in the future.

It is indeed inappropriate to still call it Bailudong Academy.

"My lord is wise, I really need to rename it, so please give me a name!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, asked him to name it?

It seems a little difficult. He named his son Zhu Biao, and his wife said more than once that the name was not good.

Now it's Xuetang's turn, isn't this embarrassing yourself?

"Sir, what do you think the name should be?" Old Zhu You kicked the ball back to Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng is not so easy to be fooled, and immediately said: "My lord, there are only a few ways to name the school. One is like Bailudong Academy and other government schools in various places. It is named after the location, which is easy to understand. Then Some are named after functions, such as martial arts, Taixue, etc. Another is to name them based on the idea of ​​running a school and the goal.

Good guy, another correct crap.

The ball returned to Lao Zhu's feet again, and it would be a bit embarrassing to ask others at this time.

Isn't it just a name, what can be difficult?

Old Zhu thought about it for a long time, calling Xingzi County School, Jiangzhou School... It seems that it doesn't work, Poyang Lake School, does it teach fishing?

To sacrifice to the masters, is it called a school of hundreds of schools?

It seems inappropriate. What this school teaches is definitely not the knowledge of various schools of thought. In fact, Zhang Ximeng's claim is based on the learning of hundreds of schools of thought.

Select beneficial things, add Zhu Jiajun's ideas, re-integrate, and tinker with a new knowledge.

It is not good to call it a school of hundreds of schools in this way, and all schools of thought must be unified into one!

What will it be called?
