It's not that Wang Keshou's official career is, this is just the promotion process of ordinary officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing commendable.

Zhu Youxiao's strange thing is not this, but Wang Keshou built the academy for Feng Congwu.

Feng Congwu is now in the court, this is a proper Donglin Party, even if it is not the Donglin Party, it can be regarded as half of the Donglin Party.

It is also science that is followed, and Wang Keshou was able to build a academy for Feng Congwu, which is a bit interesting.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and asked lightly: "Are you sure that Wang Keshou can inherit Li Zhen's mantle?" ”

You must know that Li Zhen's mantle is not so easy to inherit, and Wang Keshou is obviously not this kind of person. Although he is a student of Li Zhen, looking at his style of acting, this person is obviously an official oil.

He doesn't have Li Zhen's thoughts and mentality, and he doesn't have any Taoism in his heart, anyway, he is just an official, how can he inherit Li Zhen's mantle?

"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Ke can't stand it." Luo Sigong said directly: "But Wang Keshou's students can." According to Chen, Wang Keshou had a student named Chen Kedao, who was very crazy and highly respected Li Zhen's doctrine. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and asked, "How old is this Chen Kedao and what is his status?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Chen Kedao is thirty-six years old, and his status is a rising star of the Taizhou School." Luo Sigong said after thinking about it.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, not because he was selected by age or qualifications, but by what he wanted this person to do, it must be qualified, and he must be able to suppress people.

This Chen Kedao is obviously not feasible, thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, then it can only be Jiao Hong's lineage." Luo Sigong thought for a moment, and then said.

Jiaohong? This name sounds very familiar, but Zhu Houzhao can't remember anything special about this person.

"Tell me!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and asked directly.

He is also beginning to be curious now, how many things does this Luo Sigong know, it seems that Luo Sigong has really studied it in depth, or has he also been influenced by the Taizhou School?

However, as far as Zhu Youxiao knows, things don't seem to be like this. The Taizhou School is very strong among the people, and it is a prominent school, but it is not the case at the top.

"Your Majesty, Jiao Hong Wanli participated in the examination in the seventeenth year, won the first place in the first class, was appointed as the Hanlin Academy, and then went to Nanjing to do business." Luo Sigong hurriedly said.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately laughed.

This person is a little interesting, the dignified champion, awarded the Hanlin compilation, according to common sense, not to mention the proper entry into the cabinet, but the six books should be able to mix, right? Even if you can't mix the six books, you should be able to mix the last six squire, right?

As a result, there was no result, and he directly engaged in a Nanjing business.

Obviously, this is not as simple as offending people, this is being disgusted by the emperor, and the reason should be very simple, that is, this must have done something that made the emperor very unhappy.

Although there is also a reason for this, that is, Jiao Hong was only the champion at the age of fifty, but it was not so miserable.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao also remembered some things about Jiao Hong, which was a news he saw in his previous life, which was about what the academic circles at home and abroad called "the largest research project on traditional Chinese thought and culture" - "Chinese Thinkers' Commentary and Biography Series".

With the goal of exploring the profound heritage of traditional Chinese thought and culture and revealing the internal laws of its development and changes, the series selects more than 100 figures who have made outstanding achievements in literature, history, philosophy, economics, agriculture, industry, medicine, politics, military, education, science and technology, and religion over the past 2,000 years, from Confucius to Sun Yat-sen.

Jiao Hong, as an "encyclopedic" figure, was elected with Hai Rui, Huang Zongxi, and later Gu Yanwu, Pu Songling and others in the same era, which attracted the attention of all walks of life.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao also paid attention to it, and even went to check the information about Jiao Hong.

There is one thing that is very interesting, that is, this Jiao Hong is a teacher. This person is Xu Guangqi who he has always wanted to use, and Jiao Hong is Xu Guangqi's teacher.

Could it be that the Jiao Hong vein that Luo Sigong said refers to Xu Guangqi?

Now Zhu Youxiao knows why Xu Guangqi was excluded from officialdom. Xu Guangqi's ideas are similar to those of his teacher, and with the things he admires, it is good that he is not branded a heretic.

"Although Jiao Hong is dead, his student is still there, it is Xu Guangqi." After saying this, Luo Si bowed respectfully and stopped talking.

Zhu Youxiao knew why Luo Sigong said Wang Keshou first. The reason is very simple, that is, he doesn't want to mention Xu Guangqi.

He asked Xu Guangqi to return to Beijing, and personally summoned him to comfort Xu Guangqi's greetings, which is a very, very obvious symbol in Luo Sigong's view.

He wanted to have another appointment for Xu Guangqi, so Luo Sigong did not mention Xu Guangqi, but instead mentioned Wang Keshou's student. Now that he has denied it, he mentioned Xu Guangqi.

Although he said that, Zhu Youxiao also knew that Jiao Hong could only be regarded as Xu Guangqi's teacher. It's really hard to say how much Jiao Hong's thoughts Xu Guangqi inherited.

Of course, the friendship between Jiao Hong and Xu Guangqi goes without saying. Xu Guangqi was 36 years old when he took the Shuntianfu exam, and the chief examiner was the famous Confucian Jiao Hong, who found his talent from the paper and thought that he was a "famous Confucian", so he was ranked first.

In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, Jiao Hong was ordered by the emperor to select talents for the country and serve as the deputy chief examiner of the examination. He got Xu Guangqi in the unsuccessful paper. "(Jiao Hong) was surprised to read it, and sighed at the case: This famous Confucian is undoubtedly also." resolutely promoted Xu Guangqi, who had fallen to Sun Mountain, to the first place.

Jiao Hong and Dong Qichang also introduced Xu Guangqi to Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai in the same year, so that Xu Guangqi's talents in weapons could be put to use.

Although it sounds very good, Zhu Youxiao feels that there are a lot of things hidden in it.

For example, during the Shuntianfu Township Examination, Xu Guangqi was unsuccessful, and Jiao Hong selected Xu Guangqi from the unsuccessful papers; When he was going to take the exam, it was Jiao Hong who selected Xu Guangqi from the unsuccessful papers.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like someone deliberately deposed Xu Guangqi, and Jiao Hong saved him. There is a sense of partisanship, and it may even be the struggle between Taoism, the struggle between mind and science, and the struggle between the Taizhou school and other schools.

If things are really as he guessed, then the relationship between Xu Guangqi and Jiao Hong is not so simple.

Of course, the facts also prove Jiao Hong's vision.

Xu Guangqi later served as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Dongge University, and a scholar of Wenyuange University. He devoted his life to the study of astronomy, calendar, water conservancy, surveying, mathematics, agriculture and other natural sciences and technologies, and became a far-sighted scientist and politician of the Ming Dynasty.
