"Well said, well said." Han Yi stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Although the old man thinks that he is not a scholar, he has studied for so many years, and he can be regarded as quite experienced. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask the old man. Of course, it's not just academic questions, but everything else as well. ”

Hearing Han Yi say this, Zhang Yu's face became even more excited, and he hurriedly said, "It is really a blessing for me to be able to get the support of the elder pavilion. In the future, if the elder has anything to do, just ask. ”

"It is the duty of a scholar to bring up the younger generations, and the old man also has some experience as an official, if you don't understand anything, you can also come to ask for advice." Han Yi looked like someone who had come over to promote his juniors, smiled more and more kindly, and said loudly: "The old man must give him all his money." ”

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhang Yu suddenly knew the meaning of the string song, and said with a gentle smile: "I wonder if we are lucky enough to be able to worship the old man of the pavilion?" ”

Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing glanced at Zhang Yu and Han Yi in slight surprise.

It's just the first time that the two of them have met today, and after saying these words, they are actually going to apprentice?

The two brothers of the Song family are really a little uncomfortable.

"The old man has not accepted students for many years, and the old man is now in the officialdom, which is really inconvenient. But the old man is not a narrow-minded person, if you don't understand anything, you can come to consult the old man, and the old man will never hide anything. Although we don't have mentorship and apprenticeship, we can also be mentors and friends. Han Yi said with a sincere and humble face.

Zhang Yu bowed directly to the ground and said with a sincere face: "As the so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch is a teacher, the old man is admirable, but we can't do that." From now on, we will treat the elder of the pavilion with a teacher's courtesy, let the elder see our minds, and hope that one day we will be able to worship under the wall of the old pavilion. ”

Han Yi nodded with satisfaction, but he still had a polite smile on his face, and he didn't hold it down hard, and he was no longer as decisive as just now.

After the two of them politely said a few more words, they tacitly agreed that no one mentioned the matter of apprenticeship again, obviously they had already understood each other's intentions, and there was no need to waste any more time.

Now that the polite words are over, the relationship between the two parties has been determined, and it is time to get down to business.

"The old man is also studying some guanxue these days, and it can be said that he is quite touched!" Han Yi's face became serious, and he continued to reach out and stroke his beard, and at the same time said with a look of pity: "Take "Yi" as the sect, "The Mean" as the body, "Li" as the use, and Confucius and Meng as the law. ”

As he spoke, Han Yi shook his head, looking really pity.

In fact, although Guanxue is a school of Confucianism, it is more like hanging a face of Confucianism. Because it is based on Yi, more of which is Taoist thought, but the three religions are one, today you copy me, tomorrow I copy you, everyone basically doesn't pay much attention to this issue,

Ideologically, everyone doesn't argue much anymore, all that's left is to look at the team. As long as you are on my side, you are my knowledge; Otherwise you are not.

This is basically the atmosphere of the Daming academic circle. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that party contention will be a thing.

Each party basically has the same ideology, and at the same time, it can also collude with each other in terms of interests.

A school like Guanxue, which is located in Guanzhong, is basically not treated well in Beijing. On the one hand, there are ideological reasons, and on the other hand, Guanzhong is not Jiangnan. Guan Xue was ostracized, so it has not been able to develop.

There are political issues as well as economic issues.

Although the Jin merchants are very developed and strong, they are doing salt business in Yangzhou, and they need to better integrate into the local area.

For big capitalists and big businessmen, which doctrine is useful to me, which doctrine is good.

Zhang Yu, Song Yingxing, and Song Yingsheng glanced at each other, and none of them said anything on this issue.

People are praising your knowledge, you can't say anything bad, right?

Flattery also seems too much like patting one's own ass, so it's best not to open your mouth at this time.

"The old man also pondered, why such a good knowledge has not been able to become a prominent scholar?" Han Yi looked at Zhang Yu and the others, and asked this question with a serious face.

The expression on Han Yi's face was a little hesitant, and more regretful, but he didn't mean to ask the three of them. Because after he said this, he first opened his mouth and gave a direct answer.

After studying it a few times, the old man felt that it was because of the lack of writing. If you look at science, people have Zhu Zi, and Zhu Zi's writings can get twice the result with half the effort, but this is not the case with Guan Xue, Guan Xue has never had a suitable person, and there is no representative writing. Han Yi looked at Zhang Yu and the three of them, and said with a little regret.

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhang Yu's expressions were a little gloomy.

In fact, there is no need for Han Yi to say this, Zhang Yu and the two brothers of the Song family also know it. Because things have come to this point, the strengths and weaknesses of each school of thought have been revealed.

The shortcomings of a primary school like Guan Xue are clearly that there are no saints, that is to say, there are no characters who can handle it.

Although Guan Xue's thoughts seem to be okay in this and that, but they are not clear enough, their position is not firm enough, and the disciples do not have any remarks that make people feel that you are justified when they hear it.

Although Zhang Zai said that "establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for everything", the slogan is really loud, but in terms of practical action strategy, there is no technology.

So the perception is not very strong, usually everyone just says that this sentence is good, praise the thing is done well, and then it is gone.

Just like Fan Zhongyan's sentence "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" is very widespread, everyone will praise his character when they mention Fan Zhongyan.

But what did Fan Zhongyan do?

He's a revolutionist! He wants to reform, what is the use of his own noble conduct?

Now Zhang Zai's situation is basically like this, go out and ask everyone what is going on. I've heard of this guy, and I appreciate him as a master, but what do you say about him that is otherworldly?

It seems to mean that there is such a sentence "establish a heart for heaven and earth".

One of the most important things for a school of thought is to have its own ideas on its agenda. Zhang Zai did give his own thoughts, but what was the idea he gave?

It is to suppress land annexation and restore the well field system.

Who can stand this?

You tell the emperor about this, and the emperor can listen to you?

If you really change this, the world will be in the world immediately!

Of course, Song Yingsheng and the others also knew the shortcomings of Guan Xue, so they had to find a way.

Han Yi looked at the three of them, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you put together what Mr. Zhang said, did, and recorded and put them together into a book?" ”

Hearing Han Yi's words, Song Yingsheng and the three of them were taken aback.

Han Yi's idea is too crazy, isn't it?

Huang Kezhang is so crazy, they have all seen this, I didn't expect you Han Yi to be so crazy.

Are you dying? Or do we not want to die

What is the most famous representative of recording the teacher's words and deeds, collating them into a book and publishing a book?

No need to ask, it's the Analects.

Now let's make Zhang Zai like this, to put it bigger, is this to compare Zhang Zai to Confucius? It's going to be a joke, it's going to be the target of everyone!

To put it mildly, this is just nonsense!

Zhang Zai is from the Song Dynasty, how many years has it been? The bones of the others are rotten, how many of those things are left of him?

Even if they do, many places are out of place. This is problematic in itself.

Looking at Han Yi's meaning, it is obviously not for us to really sort it out. If you really sort it out, you don't need to talk to us like that. Han Yi: This is just for us to make things up!

Now Song Yingsheng and the three of them have an insight into Han Yi's meaning, which is much more ambitious than they can imagine in their hearts.

Originally, the three of them thought that Han Yi wanted to use a few of his own people to take advantage of Guan Xue, and then help him gain a firm foothold in the court and help him find a position.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, this Han Yi wants to create a science by himself.

Of course, if it is really self-created, Han Yi is even more self-defeating, and will directly become the target of public criticism!

So in such a situation, Han Yi thought of another way, that is, the dove occupies the magpie's nest and lays eggs through the shell. After some searching, he set his sights on Guan Xue.

First of all, this school of thought is not big, but it is a very, very suitable school. Secondly, the number of people in this school is not large, and it is relatively easy to control.

The most critical point is that this school is a school of science, but what it advocates is easy, easier to fiddle with, and easier to modify.

Han Yi actually had a general idea in his heart, and what he had to do now was to ask Song Yingsheng and the three of them to agree.

After Han Yi said this, Song Yingsheng and the others also understood what he meant, and while being frightened by his boldness, they were also thinking about the feasibility of this matter. To put it bluntly, I was thinking about whether this thing could succeed.

If you really want this thing to succeed, just having Han Yi's support is definitely not enough.

Song Yingsheng and the three of them did not speak, and the expression on their faces was very indifferent. They simply can't show a positive attitude.

If a few of them are on Han Yi's side politically and in terms of position, there is no problem with this, even if they fail, it is nothing more than a dismissal and returning home.

But what Han Yi has to do now is too big, with the things he is showing now, and these promises he has given to these people, it is not worth everyone to pay so much for him.

As if he saw the thoughts of Song Yingsheng and the others, Han Yi said slowly: "The imperial examination syllabus of the imperial court has come out, and the old man thinks that it will not take a few days to announce it to the world." When that time comes, there will be no room for recovery, and now all the people who are making trouble are in vain. ”

"Now that the syllabus of the imperial examination has been changed, should the Confucian Temple also be changed? I think Zhang Zai can be a saint, but he can enter the Confucian Temple, what do you think?

Song Yingsheng and the three of them glanced at each other.

This is the new condition that Han Yi gave them, he will improve Zhang Zai's status and let Zhang Zai enter the Confucian Temple, which is a good thing for them.

The entry into the Temple of Confucius mentioned here is definitely not the same as the original, otherwise there is no need to take it out and say it.

In the Confucian Temple, there is a kind of treatment called the Confucian Temple, the Confucian Temple East is dedicated to the outstanding disciples of Confucius and the wise scholars and Confucian gods of the past dynasties, and the sages who have always been recognized have a rank in it.

The so-called East Pavilion refers to a house on the east side of the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, which is a place dedicated to the memorial tablet. The houses on the east and west sides of the Dacheng Hall are called "Liangyu", which is the place where the sages and Confucians are worshiped in later generations.

Most of the virtuous Confucians who deserve to enjoy are famous figures in the Confucian school in later generations, such as Wen Zhongzi, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong, Dong Zhongshu, Han Yu, Wang Yangming, etc.

These people were originally portraits, but they were changed to statues in the Jin Dynasty, and they were all changed to wooden tablets with names written on them during the Ming Dynasty, and they were enshrined in shrines.

What Han Yi said was that he could be a saint, and he was definitely not as worthy of it as he is now.

"That's the best." Zhang Yu stood up and said with a solemn face.

The meaning of his words is very simple, if you can do this, then we will have nothing to do with you; If you can't, then we won't do it with you.

Han Yi was not surprised, this matter was a big thing he planned, and it needed to be arranged and arranged in detail.

After being silent in the cabinet for so long, he naturally wanted to fight back, and it was impossible to be willing to be ridden on his head like this, and then wait until a period of time to leave sadly.

Now that I've achieved the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, why can't I really be the first assistant of the cabinet?

If I can't be Zhang Juzheng, I will also be Yan Song.

"Okay, it's almost time today, so you can wait for my news." Han Yi said with a smile, the expression on his face did not change.

"Then, Elder Ge, we take our leave." Zhang Yu hurriedly said.

"Okay." Han Yi nodded and said, "I'll let someone send you." ”

After several people had left the house, a person suddenly appeared in the screen behind them.

This is a young man, who should be a scholar in his dress, with a somewhat thin figure and a mustache.

At this time, his face was very solemn, one hand gently stroked his beard, and he came straight to Han Yi's side, bowed down and said, "Ge Lao." ”

Han Yi nodded and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

"Unreliable, slippery." The man smiled and said, "But it can be used, it's a smart person." ”

"That's right," Han Yi nodded and said, "People in this world are like this, there is nothing reliable or unreliable. Today is tomorrow, even if it is full of benevolence and morality, but what can it do in the end? Isn't it a male thief or a female prostitute? ”

"Husband, it's not easy for you to have such insight at a young age."

Wang Fuzhi's face did not change at all, he knew that Han Yi's words meant something, so it was not good to say anything more on this.

Obviously, the cabinet chief assistant was very dissatisfied with what the Donglin Party had done before. If those people had listened to him, why would they have ended up where they are today?

But even so, those people still felt that he was wrong, which made the cabinet chief in front of him have such an idea, which can be regarded as a pain in his heart. It's not appropriate for me to say anything.

"The two brothers of the Song family are very honest, calm and usable, but they are also smart people, obviously they won't believe us." Wang Fuzhi changed the topic and said, "On the contrary, it is that Zhang Yu, who looks very smart and smooth." But that's exactly the case, this talent is more suitable for us to use. ”

"What do you think is going to go next?" Han Yi asked.

Wang Fuzhi nodded and said, "The next step is simple. Let someone go and spread the news, and say that the three of them are ready to worship under the old sect of the pavilion. Whether this thing works out or not, we can't let them get out of it first. ”

With a mocking smile on his face, Wang Fuzhi said: "Things in this world are like this, since they are willing to play, let them know how things in this world are played." Do you really think that the dignified Pavilion Elder can let them take advantage of it and let them deceive? ”

Hearing Wang Fuzhi's words, Han Yi smiled first, stood up and said, "It's okay, give them a lesson first." ”

Zhang Yu and the Song brothers walked out of Han Yi's house, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Song Yingsheng, who has always been rigorous, has a particularly ugly face, and the whole person also exudes a momentum that no one can approach.

Zhang Yu walked to Song Yingsheng's side and said with a smile: "But you think I'm too flattering?" ”

Turning his head to look at Zhang Yu, Song Yingsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not a stupid person, I can also guess a thing or two about what you did today, so naturally I won't think of you like this." What's more, what kind of character you Zhang Yu and Zhang retreat have, our brothers are very clear. ”

"It's just that now that things have come to this point, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do. In fact, you also understand that this Han Yi has too many requirements, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to meet them. Even if we were willing to do that, it would be difficult to do so. If things fail, I'm afraid none of us will end well. ”

"The officialdom of this capital is disturbed, and whoever doesn't like us will throw a brick and smash us to death. At that time, we will not even have a place to hide, and we will not be able to negotiate terms with the head of the cabinet. ”

"That's why we're looking for foreign help." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Song Yingxing, who was on the side, also spoke at this time, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Who can help us?" You also know our situation, if we had a way in the capital, we would not have fallen into the situation we have today. ”

"Just because I didn't have it before, it doesn't mean I don't have it now." Zhang Yu said with an unfathomable smile.

"Do you know Feng Congwu?" Zhang Yu looked at the two people with a smile and said a name.

Song Yingsheng thought about it, turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, and said with some hesitation: "Are you talking about that Feng Congwu?" ”

"Who else but him?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"But he's not the same as us." Song Yingxing said with a frown.

The three of them all knew about this Feng Congwu, because he could be said to be famous in Guanzhong, and they had all heard of his name.

In the past, it was just the imperial history, after Feng Congwu dismissed the Shenzong and returned to the country, he and his friends Xiao Huizhi and Zhou Shuyuan lectured in the West Baoqing Temple in this place for many years, and the disciples were many days, and the temple was narrow.

In October of the 37th year of Wanli, Wang Keshou, the political envoy of Shaanxi, Li Tianlin, Xiong Yingzhan, Min Hongxue, and Chen Ning, Duan Youxian, etc., were appointed by Feng Congwu to establish Guanzhong Academy in the east of Baoqing Temple.

Feng Congwu has lectured in Guanzhong for more than 20 years, and it can be said that his protégés are all over Guanzhong.

In addition, after he founded Guanzhong Academy, more students came out of it, all of whom were his disciples, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while, whether in the officialdom or in the Shilin.

If he makes a move, the status of the three people will definitely be different. But there is a problem here, although Feng Congwu is a scholar, he has made great achievements in psychology and science, and is even known as the master of psychology and science.

But in terms of political position, this person is the Donglin Party, he is the leader of the entire Kandong Donglin Party, and he leads the children of the Donglin Party in the northwest. Although their number is not very large, they also have a status in the DPRK and are called the Jin Party.

Although the three of them are also from Guanzhong, they are still learning from Guanxue, but they are two people from the same way. The most important point is that what the two sides have learned is fundamentally different.

Especially Guan Xue has been squeezed very much in recent years, although he and the Jin Party are not on the same footing, but they are by no means two people who can come together.

Now that Zhang Yu mentioned this person, this made the two brothers of the Song family hesitate.

"Do you think Feng Congwu's life is better now?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

The two brothers of the Song family shook their heads directly, "Feng Congwu has a good relationship with Wang Keshou, and at the same time, he has a better relationship with the Donglin Party. Some time ago, the Donglin Party was purged on a large scale, and Feng Congwu also had a question book, although he was not implicated, but he was also put on the cold bench. ”

"And the most important point, Feng Congwu himself has a Guanzhong Academy. The court is now all against private lectures and the opening of academies privately, and his position is naturally very embarrassing. In such a situation, his life will be better than that of ghosts. ”

"So his life is not easy, and he needs us even more." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"People don't necessarily like us." Song Yingxing said with mockery in his tone.

"He's definitely going to look at us, we don't seem very important at the moment, but soon we're going to be very important, and he'll accept us then." Zhang Yu said with great confidence: "If you don't believe it, we'll see." ”

"Even if he thinks highly of us, what can we do for him?" Song Yingsheng looked at Zhang Yu and asked with burning eyes: "And so repeatedly, being a two-sided person, I'm afraid it will be despised by others." When that time comes, people on both sides will not let us go, and I'm afraid we won't even be able to go back to Guanzhong. ”

Seeing the worries on the faces of the two brothers of the Song family, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Why should we take refuge in one of them?" We are the representatives of Guan Xue, and of course we represent ourselves. We are looking for cooperation on equal footing, not on their behalf. ”

"If it's just Han Yi, it's easy for him to take care of us; But with Feng Congwu's words, things are not so easy, Han Yi wants to take care of us, and we have to weigh it. ”

"It's the same way around, if Feng Congwu and they want to persecute us, we still have Han Yi. When the time comes, we will be on both sides of them, and that will be our chance. ”

"You're taking a risk." Song Yingsheng had a calm face and said word by word: "The good rider falls on the horse, the good water drowns, the good drinker gets drunk, and the good fighter dies." ”
