The four sons of Jinling are of similar age and like-minded, or travel together, or sing poems and wines, or criticize the eunuchs, or discuss the government, hoping that the court will reform politics and save the country from peril.

Of course, this is a slogan they shouted themselves, but in fact, to put it bluntly, there are no substantive suggestions.

The Fushe's advocacy of exempting the arrears of taxes and taxes, elevating the status of the wasted workers, removing the eunuchs from the town, and stopping internal exercises actually represented the interests of the landlords and merchants in Jiangnan such as the "Wujiang surname".

However, they had close relations with the burghers who depended on industry and commerce in the Jiangnan area, and had a fairly broad mass base, and the officials did not want to provoke them.

The Restoration Society is not only famous for the four sons of Jinling, but also has many bigwigs, such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others.

Huang Zongxi, the son of Pianpianjia, walked over with his already slightly drunk body, and said, "Brother Chaozong's words are wrong. ”

Everyone looked at him, and Hou Fangyu was also curious: "What is Brother Taichong's opinion?" ”

Hearing Hou Fangyu call the other party Taichong, Zhu Cihong already knew that he was Huang Zongxi.

It is rumored that Huang Zongxi is extremely talented, not only proficient in Confucianism, but also knows astronomy and geography, mathematics and physics, and even economics is very wide-ranging.

Of course, in the face of Zhu Cihong, who knew 5,000 years before and 400 years later, he still seemed a little tenderer, and Zhu Cihong casually listed planes and submarines, but he didn't know......

However, Huang Zongxi was already famous in Beijing in the year when Zhu Cihong first crossed, when Huang Zongxi was only eighteen years old, and his father was Huang Zunsu, one of the "Seven Gentlemen of Donglin", who was killed by Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu.

After Chongzhen came to power, he got rid of Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, and conducted a trial of the remnants of the eunuch party, Huang Zongxi testified in court, and he was not angry when he saw the murderer of his father, and he replied to testify that a set of procedures was completed calmly.

After the interrogation was over, Huang Zongxi picked up the awl hidden in his sleeve on the spot and ran to Xu Xianchun, who was the second in command of Jinyi Wei, and directly stabbed him to death.

After finishing it, Huang Zongxi ran to the second enemy who killed his father, punched and kicked Cui Yingyuan, beat the surname Cui with a blue nose and swollen eyes, and tore off his beard.

At that time, the presiding judge and jurors in the lobby of the criminal department not only stopped it, but also watched this scene with interest, and even Chongzhen sighed afterwards and called him "the lonely son of a loyal minister", Huang Zongxi became popular all of a sudden, and was called "Yaojiang Huang Xiaozi".

It stands to reason that such a big reputation will rise slowly when it becomes an official, but Huang Xiaozi was stunned that he was not admitted and had no chance with the officialdom, so he could only participate in the Restoration Society to express his patriotic feelings and continue to learn from others.

When the scholars saw that Huang Xiaozi, who was stunned and didn't get in, objected, they were all curious, and secretly said that you didn't get into the five cars of Xuefu, and you still have to speak for the imperial examination system?

Huang Zongxi put down his wine glass and said: "The imperial examination is not good, but there is a big problem in the Ming Dynasty's education system itself, and the establishment of social studies in the imperial court should not be for the sake of raising scholars, let alone for the imperial examination!" ”

A scholar said: "Isn't studying just to be an official, then what do you say social studies should be for?" ”

Huang Zongxi took the wine glass and poured himself a glass, took a sip, and continued: "The establishment of social studies in the imperial court should form a good fashion, so that above the imperial court, the fineness of Lu Yan will gradually become stained, and there will be a wide atmosphere of poetry and books!" ”

Everyone looked strange, and most of them didn't agree with it, but Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "Brother Taichong, eat vegetables, don't patronize and drink!" ”

Zhu Cihong in the elegant room was amazed when he heard this, this Huang Zongxi's educational ideas are so advanced?

Zhu Cihong understood through history that Huang Zongxi was an official in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and his political performance was no different from that of other Donglin Party members.

In the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he did not do much substantive work for the imperial court, and he was a typical representative of the Donglin Party, only caring about infighting and dragging his feet.

However, it is undeniable that although Huang Zongxi's political performance is so naïve that he is not even as good as a child, he has indeed reached the highest level of ancient China in terms of ideology and academics.

Zhu Cihong fell into deep thought, an excellent thinker is not necessarily a smart politician, Kang Youwei in the evening is a typical example, and there is a certain person who reveals his name without letting go.

Seeing that everyone was disdainful, Huang Zongxi put down the wine glass again, and was dissatisfied and wanted to leave.

Fang Yizhi hurriedly said: "Brother Taichong, where are you going, the beauty is coming soon, it's Li Xiangjun!" ”

Huang Zongxi was stunned, but he still went downstairs by himself.

Hou Fangyu shook his head again and again: "This Huang is too chong, too impulsive!" ”

Then he provoked the words to make a high-level statement, this time talking about the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Tianwujun.

Fang Yizhi sighed: "The crown prince took the Tianwu soldiers to regain the lost land in Liaodong at a young age. ”

Mao Xiang, one of the four princes, shook his head and said, "Brother Fang forgot how the crown prince treated us Jiangnan squires?" Or have you forgotten how he robbed the Jin merchants? This is digging the foundation of our gentry! ”

Fang Yizhi avoided talking about the crown prince, and said: "Since the Wanli Dynasty, the rivers have been declining, especially the eunuchs have taken power, the dynasty has fallen, the army has been slack, and the country has been humiliated. ”

Hou Fangyu said in a strange manner: "The Tianwu Army is able to fight, and it is also very good at eating, and it has eaten up my Ming treasury, it is really mighty!" ”

Hou Fangyu's face was full of frivolity and disrespect, his father was the former head of the household department Hou Sui, when the Qing army entered the customs, Zhu Cihong led the Yongwei battalion to guard the Jinggi, and drove the Qing army out of the cold pass, and the war lasted for half a year and almost exhausted the treasury.

After the war, Hou Sui, the head of the household, was taken down by Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan due to the emptiness of the treasury, and is still locked in prison, and Hou Fangyu has always been angry with Zhu Cihong and Tianwujun.

His words surprised everyone, and Fang Yizhi said dissatisfiedly: "War is a war of logistical attrition, why should Brother Chaozong be like this." ”

Hou Fangyu frowned, and said: "I'm just telling the truth, the Tianwu Army seems to be able to fight, but in fact, it's just that my Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to pile it up, after several battles, is there still a grain of grain in the Ming Dynasty's treasury?" They are glorious, and they are rewarded with knights, but they don't know how many officials and people escort grain and grass for them day and night, is this victory their Tianwu army or my Ming subjects? ”

Zhu Cihong's face was ugly, his fists were clenched violently, and he had already issued a death sentence to Hou Fangyu in his heart.

"Shut up!"

Li Shaoyou couldn't help but snort, walked out of the elegant room, pointed at Hou Fangyu and said, "What kind of thing are you, dare to insult my Tianwu Army soldiers!" ”

"He's from the Heavenly Martial Army?"

"How did a martial artist come here?"

Some of the scholars of the Restoration Society looked at Li Shaoyou and discussed.

Hou Fangyu was also surprised, he didn't expect the main master of the Tianwu Army to be here, which was really a bit embarrassing.

I only heard Li Shaoyou glare, waved his fist and said: "Every victory of my Tianwu Army is killed from the sea of corpses and blood with one knife and one shot!" The soldiers of the Tianwu Army are also flesh and blood, how many good men have been buried in Liaodong since then, and they are not allowed to return to their hometowns, it is they who are brave and brave to take the lead and serve the country loyally, so that they can protect my Ming Jinggi from being ravaged by the Tartars, so that I can recover the loss of Ming Liaodong! ”

He pointed at Hou Fangyu again and said, "You unreasonable bastard, full of bullshit!" ”

The building was suddenly silent, and Li Shaoyou's fierce appearance frightened everyone and didn't dare to speak.

Hou Fangyu's face was pale, and he just wanted to scold and reason, but found that he was stopped by Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi hugged his fists at Li Shaoyou from afar and said: "This general, Brother Hou is not strong enough to drink, and he has no intention of insulting your army, and he still looks at Haihan!" ”

"Brother Fang, you ......"

Hou Fangyu just wanted to speak, but he only heard Fang Yizhi say: "Brother Hou, for the sake of my thin face today, don't say more, okay?" ”

The other two sons also persuaded: "Today is for Brother Fang to practice, so don't make extraneous branches." ”

Hou Fangyu glanced at Li Shaoyou, and when he saw his murderous gaze, he was suddenly frightened, so he had to find a step down and said, "For Brother Fang's sake, Hou will give up." ”

"Son of a bitch!" Li Shaoyou snorted and returned to the elegant room, he also knew that there were too many people reading here, and if he did it, he might hurt and expose His Royal Highness the Prince, so he had to hate it.

Zhu Cihong calmed down, faced Li Shaoyou's inquiring gaze, and said lightly: "Remember this little monkey, and let you kill him with your own hands another day!" ”

Li Shaoyou rubbed his fists, thinking in his heart how to make this kid die ugly......

At this moment, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Look, Li Xiangjun, one of the eight Yan, is here!" ”
