Chapter 68: The First Fat Difference
Before this meeting, Wang Yue's impression of Yang Shen only stayed on that Linjiang Immortal. And Yang Shen directly told Wang Yue about Yang Tinghe's plan, which was really unexpected.
Using a knighthood to restrict Wang Yangming is indeed a clever strategy. With historical experience for reference, Wang Yue quickly figured out the sinister intentions.
In history, Wang Yangming was instigated by Yang Tinghe because of his meritorious contribution to quelling the rebellion of King Ning, and Zhu Houxi gave him a new earl.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the founding civil ministers, there were only three civil officials who were knighted for meritorious service. Coincidentally, these three are all surnamed Wang, one is Wang Ji, and the second is Wang Yue.
But it is not a coincidence that these three old kings have not stepped into the door of the cabinet, and they have not even played a role in the court, leading troops outside all the year round, running back and forth to work, to put it bluntly, they are a hard worker, although they have a great reputation, but they have to be affected by the juniors in the court, and they are all bitter tears.
It's not hard to see why it's the way it is.
The cabinet is the territory of the Hanlin ministers, and the more brilliant a person's record and greater credit, the farther away from the cabinet.
Although the bachelor of the Ming Dynasty is comparable to the prime minister, when he is not the real prime minister after all, the thing that is very common in other dynasties will be very abrupt when he is placed in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, a minister with outstanding military merits, entering the cabinet, is undoubtedly like a fish in water, and can immediately suppress his colleagues, lead hundreds of officials, become a real prime minister, and then shake the imperial power.
Thanks to the ancestral training, the old Zhu family attaches great importance to authority, and would rather release eunuchs to bite people than cultivate powerful ministers and threaten themselves.
So all in all, as long as Wang Yangming is knighted, he will be insulated from the cabinet.
With an empty name, depose a potential enemy!
Yang Tinghe's methods are old, spicy, and unfathomable!
The only thing that makes people hesitate is why his son would be reckless and reveal the matter to himself?
Wang Yue looked at Yang Shen hesitantly, wanting to find a hint of an answer from his face.
"Champion Gong, are you righteously killing your relatives?"
Yang Shen's brows tightened, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled, "Lord Wang, do you know that I wrote an article criticizing Zhu Zi?" ”
This Zhu Zi is undoubtedly Zhu Xi.
Wang Yue really didn't know much about Yang Shen's academic ideas.
Since you oppose Zhu Xi, won't you be a fan of Yang Minggong again?
"I don't know how Zhuangyuan Gong looks at Xinxue?"
Yang Shen smiled again, "It's not science, it's mind!" Is Lord Wang so cheesy? ”
Wang Yue was dumbfounded, feeling that fooling people with big words should be the patent of the traverser, how could he be robbed by the other party? Am I going to say that I am going to create science and work against the science of mind? It's all the same old routine from the previous book, can you continue to play?
Yang Shen stood up and smiled dumbly, with a thick helplessness in his smile.
"Zhu Xi's learning is missing! In a word, it is to abandon the former sages and abandon all the good things of the Han and Tang Confucians, arrogant, very ridiculous! As for the study of the heart, Yang Minggong's character and knowledge can only be looked up to. But his disciples are three religions and nine streams, good and bad. Yang Ming talks about conscience and the unity of knowledge and action, that is because he is a scholar of heaven and man, proficient in civil and military affairs, and a genius who has not been seen for hundreds of years! ”
Yang Shen turned his head violently, but instead stared at Wang Yue, and said bitterly: "You can look at those current Xinxue disciples, what do they know?" And what? Don't read, don't do things, talk about heart and conscience all day long, Yang Minggong is alive, they are still like this! If it is a few decades, I don't know how many demons and monsters will come out! ”
Wang Yue was really a little frightened, Yang Shen, this guy, there is something!
"Champion Gong, what is your proposition?" Wang Yue asked in a deep voice, he leaned forward and put on a posture of listening.
"When learning is applied to the world, it is truly beneficial to the governance of the country. Save the people, water and fire, to Jun Yaoshun. ”
Yang Shen's opening made Wang Yue feel inspired.
To summarize briefly, the current mainstream of the Ming Dynasty is science, or Taoism.
Wang Yangming pioneered the study of mind, which was in the limelight and impacted the country of science.
Yang Shen's proposition is more inclined to "practical learning" in the future, and Wang Yue faintly sniffed out Yang Shen's intention to come to the door.
"Champion Yuangong, your insights are indeed extraordinary, and I think Lord Yuanfu will be happy to come."
Yang Shen laughed, "Lord Wang, you are not kind!" When you say that, you just want to get a glimpse of our father-son relationship. ”
Wang Yue sneered, indeed, Yang Shen, as the son of Yang Tinghe, came to say these strange things, which could not help but make Wang Yuehu suspicious.
"Alas!" Yang Shen sighed, "Datong mutiny, Yang Yiqing has no way to deal with it, it is your king who turned the tide and kept the important town of the nine sides." Yang Ming Gong led his troops north to attack the Tartar's lair, and it was you, Lord Wang, who urged Yang Yiqing to go to war and drag the Tartar to death! Everyone in the world says that Yangming Gongju is great, but as everyone knows, you Wang Yue is the key to this great victory! ”
Being praised by Yang Shen like this, Wang Yue's face turned red, and then he hesitated a little.
"Champion Gong, you actually know everything?"
Yang Shen smiled, "Yang is not blind, some things still can't be hidden from me." Yang Shen smiled and said: "Lord Wang, I thought that you were a young hero, and you were a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the burden of helping the people was about to fall on your shoulders." ”
Wang Yue was silent, he already knew Yang Shen's plan, everything was on the four words "Son of Heaven and Minister", he could talk to Zhu Houxi, it was really his biggest card!
"Champion Yuangong, Wang is young, and he only relies on his personal likes and dislikes to do things, and he can't afford to be praised by Champion Yuangong."
Yang Shen looked at Wang Yue, pondered for a long time, and shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Wang, I am so confident, why should you be suspicious? At the beginning, my father advocated that His Majesty should succeed Xiaozong, in order to use the prestige of Xiaozong to refresh the rule of officials and rectify maladministration. Monarchs and ministers are united, let the Ming Dynasty reappear in the prosperous world! ”
Wang Yue didn't believe it, and sneered: "Then why do you have to calculate Yang Minggong? Why oppose the rectification of the forbidden army and the strengthening of armaments? ”
In a word, it poked at Yang Shen's sore spot, he clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of pain and entanglement. In the past few days, he has quarreled with Yang Tinghe more than once.
Especially after Qiao Yu and other old ministers entered Beijing, Yang Shen became more and more disappointed, and he painfully found that these so-called famous ministers and old ministers were bringing Daming into the whirlpool of party strife, but they were stubborn as stones, and they didn't know their mistakes at all! But his father was kidnapped by these old ministers again, and he was also powerless! It's really heart-wrenching. Is such a good opportunity to reform maladministration just going to slip away?
"Lord Wang, all in all, Yang hopes that you can protect Yang Minggong, I ...... In all conscience! ”
After speaking, Yang Shen got up and left, and he was about to take a step out when he suddenly heard Wang Yue's voice.
"Champion Gong, if you really have this heart, I want to nominate you to be the military selection division of the Ministry of War, I don't know if you are willing?"
The good position left by the old man Yang Yiqing to Wang Yue was actually given to Yang Shen, the son of Shoufu, to rush to the front line of rectifying the forbidden army...... This operation is a bit sassy!
