"This person is the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xingguo Gong!"

"What?" When Liu Zong heard this, he immediately subconsciously asked, "Who, who are you talking about?" ”

Jinyi Wei commander envoy, Xingguo Gong? How is this possible? It's impossible!

In Liu Zongzhou's opinion, being able to learn such great knowledge from things, to be honest, compared to Wang Yangming, whom he admires the most, he feels that it is more powerful. A person like this must be a well-educated person, who has been in Gewu for many years, and it is possible to have such achievements after many years of accumulation!

But at this time, Huang Zongxi actually told him that this person was Zhang Mingwei! is so young, younger than Huang Zongxi, how could it be him!

Liu Zongzhou's mentality, Huang Zongxi has not only experienced it himself, but also seen it in Fang Yizhi, so it is not strange at all. After hearing Liu Zongzhou's questioning, he hurriedly said: "It's true, it's true!" Teacher, don't forget, the emperor always calls him sir, if you don't have real talent and learning, if you don't use his knowledge to impress the emperor, will you call him sir? ”

"It can't be! This ......" Liu Zongzhou subconsciously said this, and suddenly stopped.

Yes, is the emperor a fool? If not, then he would call a person younger than him Mr., just in front of so many courtiers, and the emperor would not lose face?

But if it is according to what Huang Zongxi said, then it is reasonable for the emperor to call him Mr.! By the way, it seems that there is also the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the commander of the East Factory, who also calls him sir.

Thinking so, Liu Zongzhou was stunned again, although intellectually, he accepted this conclusion. However, emotionally, to be honest, he was a little difficult to accept: how could that Zhang Mingwei be so powerful!

I had never been known before, but it was as if I suddenly fell from the sky, and I was born like this?

Where did he learn this knowledge? Which Confucian did you study with?

Applying it to the world and opening peace for all generations, he is obviously a Confucian disciple, but why has he never heard of it?

Huang Zongxi, who was on the side, saw that Liu Zongzhou had not spoken, and he was a little worried. After waiting for a while, there was still no response, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, you have promised to let the students go to school!" ”

Hearing him speak, Liu Zongzhou came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

What kind of character this student has, of course, he knows best. It can be seen from what Huang Zongxi is so eager for that no matter how much he can't figure out the matter of Zhang Mingwei, one thing is absolutely certain, that is, Zhang Mingwei must have the ability to convince himself as a student.

He was thinking about it, but Huang Zongxi misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, Xingguo Gong is what students see, a rare person who is dedicated to the country and the people, and is willing to open peace for the world." Not to mention anything else, there are so many refugees outside the city of Jingshi, only he has come forward to give proper resettlement. Also, when the students and Mi Zhi came to visit, they happened to see Xingguo Gong riding a horse on the school grounds......"

Hearing this, Liu Zongzhou was a little surprised, so he looked at what he was going to say.

“…… At that time, there was a misunderstanding in secret, so he sarcastically said that the state affairs were so critical, why did Xingguo Gong have such leisure and fun? Huang Zongxi recalled and said, "I thought that the Xingguo Guild would be angry, but who knows, Xingguogong's reply was really unexpected by the students......

"What did he say?" Liu Zong listened on Monday and asked curiously.

Huang Zongxi heard this, and immediately replied: "Xingguo Gongyan, I can't ride a horse, but as you said, when the national disaster is the first day, I should be a penman!" Battlefield battles are inevitable, how can you kill the enemy if you don't learn to ride a horse, and how can you fight a world peace? ”

After repeating it word for word, he said earnestly: "Teacher, Xingguo Gong is the most admired by students in terms of character and knowledge. I also asked the teacher for permission to let the students ask for learning from Xingguo Gong. ”

Huang Zongxi knew that his mentor admired people with both ability and political integrity the most, and even valued virtue more than Cao Cao's meritocracy. is also the same, in the court, he has always suggested this to Emperor Chongzhen. Even if Emperor Chongzhen did not agree, he still insisted on his own opinion.

Therefore, Huang Zongxi felt that he could tell his teacher about the aspect of rejuvenating the country for the country and the people, and he should be able to gain the favor of his teacher, and then allow him to study and ask.

I have to say that Huang Zongxi's understanding of Liu Zongzhou is still very profound.

Liu Zongzhou's proposition, how could there be room for survival at the end of the Ming Dynasty? After all, in the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was constant party strife, how could there be people with both ability and political integrity? In the end, no matter how famous Liu Zongzhou was, he was squeezed out by others, and he lost his official position several times, which is really not surprising at all.

At this time, after Liu Zongzhou listened to his student's words, he suddenly realized. Before, he was a little emotional, why Zhang Mingwei was a good civil official, but he wanted to be a military general, it turned out that he abandoned his pen and followed Rong, and wanted to open peace for the world!

has such a high level of knowledge, and is so dedicated to the public, thinking of this, Liu Zongzhou subconsciously ignored Zhang Mingwei's age, and immediately nodded seriously and said: "Go, support you for the teacher, study hard, strive to learn as soon as possible, do some practical things for the country and the people, don't let go of such a good opportunity!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Zongxi was overjoyed, immediately bowed down, and immediately promised: "Rest assured, the student will definitely not lose to the secret one, and he will work hard to study and apply it to the world!" ”

The term "applied to the world" was put forward by thinkers Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi, and Gu Yanwu during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The reason why this is so is because of the beginning of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, because of the development of the economy, after the improvement of living standards, the wind of empty talk and arrogance began to prevail, and reached a peak at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, there have been signs of troubled times, especially since the beginning of the Chongzhen period, and the world is in turmoil. As a result, some people of insight realized that empty talk was misleading, so they turned to practical learning.

If we follow the original historical development, these scholars and doctors with insight have sublimated their understanding of the way of practical learning after the disaster of the destruction of the country. The same is true, and in the end, many outstanding works have been produced, both in terms of ideas and science.

However, at this time, the application of the world, which was originally still budding, grew up vigorously under the influence of Zhang Mingwei and the irrigation of his knowledge from Gewu.

After hearing Huang Zongxi's words, Liu Zongzhou was very relieved and said with emotion: "If you want to prosper in the Ming Dynasty and return to the prosperous era, it still depends on you!" Follow Xingguo Gong to study hard and do things. Thinking that with you here, the teacher will definitely hold up the situation and not let them do whatever they want! ”

Seriously, today's chaos in the court made him feel that he couldn't do things well at all, and he was a little disheartened.

But at this time, he had the fighting spirit again. Because, he has found a way to do things, that is, no matter what the world thinks, support Xingguo Gong!
