Chapter 30: Sanctification on the ground
Although Yang Lian said it simply, the truth is not so simple.
Yang Lian's youth was the period of the prosperity of the Donglin Party. Yang Lian admired Gu Xiancheng and others for taking the world as their own responsibility, not fearing power, and daring to discuss the government.
Whenever he encounters a lecture in Donglin, Yang Lian must do everything possible to rush to Wuxi to discuss the study of sex and reason with the gentlemen of Donglin and discuss the way to govern the country. The two are like-minded with each other and have gradually become the rising stars of the Donglin Party.
It can be said that Yang Lian represents the future of the Donglin Party, and like Gao Panlong and others, it is already a yellow flower of tomorrow, and there is no big drama to sing.
"Gu Xiancheng has taught and educated people all his life and advocated loyalty, and I also know his thoughts." Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, there is nothing wrong with the ideology of the Donglin Party, but what is inappropriate is the deeds they have done in secret, and the slogans of the Donglin Party have been shouted so loudly that the sky is shaking.
As a later generation, Zhu Youxiao deeply knew the importance of thought, so he was not prepared to completely overthrow the Donglin Party, at least, he could advocate ideologically, such as loyalty to the monarch and serving the country.
Of course, we also have to add some things, such as "empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country" and so on.
It would also be very good if the Donglin Party had this idea and would no longer be a mouthpiece party.
As for not wanting to pay taxes, wanting more tax exemption policies, and hiding land, these things are not only done by the Donglin Party, but also by the Qizhechu Party? No, they're doing it too.
In this matter, these so-called parties are all forming parties for personal gain, and there is actually no essential difference, but other parties are not as good as the Donglin Party to package themselves.
At least the Donglin Party has always been strong in terms of propaganda, and it has always been of a standard in appealing to people.
When Yang Lian heard Zhu Youxiao's words, the expression on his face suddenly became a little excited, and he spoke after a while: "Your Majesty's knowledge of people is rare in ancient and modern times, and the minister admires it very much. ”
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Gu Xiancheng has a passage that I remember very clearly, 'Being an official in the imperial court, your ambition is not in the emperor; As an official in the border area, the ambition is not in the people's livelihood; Living under the waterside forest, the ambition is not in the world, and the gentleman does not do this. I have always remembered this passage, if the officials can practice this, why worry about the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Being an official in the court and being loyal to the monarch, taking care of the people's livelihood for the officials in the border areas, and thinking about the learning of survival by the mountains, forests and rivers is not only to be an official, but also to be a person."
"The old man said that he made meritorious deeds and made virtues, Gu Xiancheng did a good job on top of his words, I think it can be compared to Yang Minggong!"
Yang Ming Gong, naturally refers to Wang Yangming - the most powerful figure of the Ming generation, he is very strong ideologically and militarily, especially the Yang Ming Mind he developed, he is really a generation of thinkers.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao mentioned Wang Yangming at this time, naturally not because of these, but because in the twelfth year of Wanli, fifty-four years after Wang Yangming's death, Wang Shouren and Xue Xuan, Hu Juren, and Chen Xianzhang became the four scholars of the Confucian Temple in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Shouren's enshrinement shows that Wang Yangming's psychology was finally officially recognized.
Zhu Youxiao's meaning is obvious, that is, Gu Xiancheng has the opportunity to worship the Confucian Temple, which is an opportunity to become holy on the ground, so that Donglin has become a school.
Hearing this, Yang Lian was immediately excited, his body was about to swing, he believed in the Donglin Party, and naturally wanted this. Once Gu Xiancheng worships the Confucian Temple, then the Donglin School will be a manifestation of learning.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian's appearance, and continued to have a gentle smile on his face, of course, this is the big cake he painted.
Whether and when this pie can be realized depends on what the Donglin Party does.
"Your Majesty thanks for Master Gu." Yang Lian immediately picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said loudly, his eyes were a little red.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and helped him: "Okay, get up!" ”
In fact, Zhu Youxiao is not at all well-intentioned, you must know that now the Ming Science and Mind are Manifest Studies, and the Donglin School cannot be on the stage at all, if you want to become a Manifest Study, it will depend on the efforts of the Donglin Party, which will lead to a counterattack of Physics and Mind. Within the Donglin School, there are also people who believe in the study of mind and science.
Once this news spreads, it is estimated that they will fight themselves, don't look at these false names and future generations don't care, but in this era, there are not a few scholars who have sacrificed their lives for the Taoist system.
When Yang Lian stood up, Zhu Youxiao also felt that it was almost the same, and continued: "Yang Aiqing, many people have impeached Wei Zhongxian these days, most of them are because of the affairs of those imperial envoys. Saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian with a smile, waiting for him to speak.
Yang Lian's mood was still a little agitated, and when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he calmed down for a while before he spoke: "The minister thinks this matter is very inappropriate. ”
"The courtiers impeached Wei Zhongxian before, just because Wei Zhongxian deceived Shengcong and recommended demons to enter the palace to confuse His Majesty. Wei Zhongxian was bound to take revenge, and put several imperial envoys in prison, tortured, and wantonly framed, which was actually a powerful eunuch. Yang Lian's expression was very serious: "The minister thought that Wei Zhongxian should be severely punished and several imperial envoys should be released." ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then nodded at Chen Hong: "Hand those confessions to Yang Aiqing to see." ”
Chen Hong hurriedly walked over from the side, handed the confessions to Yang Yanglian, and then bowed and retreated to the side, farther away than where he had just stood.
After taking the confession from Chen Hong's hand, Yang Lian flipped through it, and his face was a little darker when he saw it, and when he finished reading it all, Yang Lian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian and said, "If Aiqing thinks it's not, you can go to Dongchang to have a look, and you can also let Aiqing take it away." These people are also from Mr. Gu Xiancheng's disciples, but what are they doing? Colluding with the frontier, accepting bribes, and framing the border ministers, is this how they practice Mr. Gu Xiancheng's thoughts? ”
"I think they are smearing Mr. Gu Xiancheng, and these people are also worthy of claiming to be Mr. Gu Xiancheng's disciples? If the gentleman is still here, I don't know if he will be angry with them. ”
Yang Lian's face darkened even more when he heard this. It's too embarrassing, especially since he is still the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, these people are all his subordinates, but it's too embarrassing to do this.
"Yang Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian and said expressionlessly.
Yang Lian had a calm face and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be severely punished, and if it is not severely punished, it is not enough to give a warning to the latecomers, and this case can be tried to the end in the first instance and will not be tolerated." ”
ps: Two more presents. Good night.
