Chapter 20: The Father and Son of the Wang Family

Wang Shouren's father is very powerful, named Wang Hua, the first person in the seventeenth year of Xianzong Chenghua, that is, the champion, and the father and son were officials in the same dynasty. However, I don't know why Wang Shouren didn't get the top few in the second class and couldn't be named Jishi, but Zhu Houzhao can guess some, because there are really a few things about Wang Shouren in Zhu Houzhao's memory.

The first thing Wang Shouren was eighteen years old, he and his wife Zhu returned to Yuyao, the boat passed Guangxin, Wang Shouren paid homage to Lou forgiveness. Lou Liang taught him the study of "learning from things", and Wang Shouren was very happy.

After that, he read Zhu Xi's works all over and pondered Song Confucianism's so-called doctrine that "everything has a fine surface and a coarse inside, and every grass and tree has a reason". In order to practice Zhu Xi's "knowledge of things", once he made up his mind to be poor in bamboo, and "checked" bamboo for seven days and seven nights, but found nothing, but people fell ill because of it. Since then, Wang Shouren has great doubts about the theory of "Gewu", which is the famous "Shouren Gezhu" in the history of Chinese philosophy.

After this incident, Wang Shouren became suspicious of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and turned to study Lu Jiuyuan's psychology, Zhu Houzhao did not know if this incident affected Wang Shouren's imperial examination.

When Wang Shouren was twenty-two years old, he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, and Li Dongyang, the first assistant to the cabinet, smiled at him and said: "Although you don't win the champion this time, you will definitely win the champion in the next imperial examination, and try to make a champion for the next imperial examination." ”

Wang Shouren picked up the pen and finished it, and the elders in the court were amazed by his natural talent, and those who were jealous of him began to talk that this young man, like the champion and the first, must have no one in his eyes. At the age of twenty-five, Wang Shouren once again referred to the imperial examination and fell into the first place again. His champion father Wang Hua enlightened him and said that if he didn't win this time, he would be able to win next time, but he smiled and said: "You are ashamed of not being on the top, and I am ashamed of being annoyed by not being on the top."

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the twenty-eight-year-old Wang Shouren once again took the imperial examination, ranked second in Nangong, and won a second rank and seventh place.

Looking at the Ministry of Political Affairs, Wei Ningbo Wang Yue before the funeral, after coming back, he went to this book of the border military title, obviously Wang Shouren's energy and interest in side affairs, throughout Wang Shouren's life experience, whether it is military or ideological, this is a very talented person. As an emperor, such a courtier is definitely a dream, both civil and military!

It's just that Wang Shouren's career in history is not very smooth, and after this time on this question, Wang Shouren still failed to show what he learned in the military, but was made to be the head of the criminal department, and decided to be imprisoned in Jiangbei and other places.

It didn't take long to ask to return to his hometown due to illness, and it should have been uncomfortable under Zhu Hou's care, and five years later, Wang Shouren was reinstated as the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War.

This should have something to do with Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua is a champion, and the official road is much smoother than Wang Shouren, Wang Hua's current official position is the right Chunfang right of Zhan Shifu, and he presided over the township test of Shuntian Mansion, and when Wang Shouren was reinstated, Wang Hua was promoted and promoted to Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shihe is still a bachelor of Hanlin. Within a few months, Wang Hua was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites because of his participation in the pre-revision of the "Daming Huidian" and "Tongjian Compilation", and he still served as the emperor's day lecturer.

It can be seen from the time that Wang Shouren has contributed to the recovery of his father this time, otherwise he would have just reinstated the director of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War that Wang Shouren wanted to do the most.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Military Selection Department were all yamen with extremely rich oil and water, and they were in charge of official hats.

If according to the normal promotion process, Wang Hua's next step is to enter the cabinet, and it is not difficult to enter the cabinet as an official squire. It's just that the world is impermanent, Liu Jin took the throne, the Wang family father and son and Liu Jin turned their faces, Wang Hua was sent to Nanjing to be the secretary of the ministry, and he rose and descended secretly.

It didn't take long for Liu Jin to take advantage of Wang Hua's participation in the pre-compilation of the small fallacies in the "Daming Huidian" to force Wang Hua to become a scholar.

Wang Hua was unmoved, thinking that "disaster can be avoided from now on". After Wang Hua returned to the field, he entertained himself by reading, served his hundred-year-old mother, and although he was seventy years old, he still practiced filial piety in front of the bed, which was praised by the world.

Not to mention Wang Shouren and Liu Jin, Liu Jin arrested more than 20 people including Yu Shi Dai Milling in Nanjing. Wang Shouren went to the rescue, and angered Liu Jin, was forty rods, and was demoted to Guizhou Longchang (seventy miles northwest of Guiyang, Xiuwen County) as a Longchang inn. At the same time, his father, Wang Hua, was also driven out of Beijing and transferred to Nanjing as the secretary of the ministry.

On the way, Wang Shouren was chased and killed by Liu Jin, and he committed suicide by pretending to dive to escape, and Wang Shouren, who escaped the pursuit, secretly went to Nanjing to meet his father Wang Hua, Wang Hua said to him: "Since the court is entrusted to you, you have the responsibility, you should go to office." ”

Then he set out on the road and came to Longchang, Guizhou, "the mountains are thin, and the seedlings and bureaucrats live together", and Longchang was still an uncivilized area at that time. Wang Shouren was not discouraged, and taught the locals according to customs, and was loved by the people. During this period, he gained a new understanding of the central idea of the University. Wang Shouren realized that "the way of the sage, my nature is self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from it are also mistaken", and he wrote "Dogma to show the dragon's field of all beings" during this period, which is known as the dragon's field enlightenment.

The father and son of the Wang family, Zhu Houzhao knocked on the question book in his hand, and his heart kept flipping again, does Wang Shouren have talent? Yes!

No matter which person you ask in the future, you will never get a second answer, this is a BUG-level existence, and there will not be a few in thousands of years. Whether in terms of learning or martial arts, this is a great existence. The only regrettable thing is that Wang Shouren has not been able to enter the center in his life, show what he has learned in his heart, and display his great ambitions.

Compared with Wang Shouren, Liu Jin is a fart, and Liu Jin can do what he can do with a eunuch, although it is not as good as Liu Jin, but it may not be too bad.

Wang Shouren is different, the invincible existence of the times, how can Zhu Houzhao not want to include him in the door? As for character, Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua's character is very good. Zhu Houzhao believed that Wang Hua would be able to enter the cabinet after Liu Jinxu and the snake, because when he reached that position, his qualifications were enough, and he only needed a word from the emperor to enter the cabinet.

Because he did not obey Liu Jin, Wang Hua directly lost the opportunity to enter the cabinet and the opportunity to become the top civil official.

From this incident, Zhu Houzhao saw that it was strong, although civil officials always advocated what righteousness and what kind of character, but how many people could do it in the face of such an opportunity? Zhu Houzhao didn't think he could do it, that was to enter the cabinet, that was to become the prime minister, there were thousands of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, how many people could enter the cabinet? Since the imperial examination entered Hanlin, he began to fight, and only three or five people finally entered the cabinet.
