Chapter Seventy-Six: The Feast I

Zhang Zhen sent someone to invite Huang Zongxi.

Zhang Xuan is looking for the candidate he likes, but Zhang Zhen is also choosing the person he likes.

What he meant was Huang Zongxi.

Although Zhang Zhen didn't know why Zhang Xuan had such a deep dislike for the Donglin Party, he privately speculated that it was probably Qian Qianyi's cause. He couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Donglin Party members in his heart. Because of Qian Qianyi, the reputation of the martyrs of Donglin was ruined.

Therefore, when he chooses people, he is interested in Donglin.

Huang Zongxi poured into Zhang Zhen's eyes.

The first is the loyal and filial son.

The father of Huang Zongxi is the son of Huang Zunsu, the famous Seven Gentlemen of Donglin. Huang Zunsu was killed by Wei Zhongxian, and Huang Zongxi, armed with a sharp weapon, assassinated Wei Zhongxian's confidant Xu Xianchun and beat Cui Yingyuan. The world is salty, Yao Jiang Huang filial piety.

Famous all over the world.

Later, he studied under Liu Zongzhou, and he is also a famous disciple.

After the Qing court entered Jiangnan, Huang Zongxi went to Wuchang with everyone and supported Zhang Xuan. It can also be regarded as a meritorious man. Compared with Fang Yizhilai, he has more qualifications.

Moreover, Zhang Zhen also talked with Huang Zongxi, and felt that Huang Zongxi's knowledge and talent were none in ten thousand, and he had recommended it a long time ago.

Zhang Zhen told Huang Zongxi about the things behind the competition for Guozijian. Finally, he said: "Your Majesty has worked hard to clarify the heart of Unai. It is the luck of the world, but His Majesty is obsessed with the heresy of Xiyi, deviates from the righteous way, and is too anxious to seek treatment, not close to Confucianism, and partial to martial arts. ”

"It is true that the country was established at the beginning of the dynasty, and the great enemy has not been eliminated, and it is necessary for this generation to follow the work of the minions, but it will immediately win the world, and it cannot be ruled immediately. His Majesty has always been intelligent, and it is not an exaggeration to favor this generation, but His Majesty hates the Holy Way and always has the heart of Henkel. Do you know that His Majesty likes a sentence in the Han Book the most, which one is? ”

Huang Zongxi said: "Pavilion Elder, please speak." ”

Hanshu is sprinkled with millions of words, and for a while, where did I think of that sentence.

"'The Han family has its own law, and it is used as a tyrant, but why should it be purely moral and political?' Zhang Zhen said.

Huang Zongxi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is not wrong to think so. ”

Zhang Zhen glanced at Huang Zongxi.

This sentence is respected by many people in modern times, but in ancient times, it was not so. It can be said that it is mixed. It takes courage for Huang Zongxi to say such things at this time.

"Yes, and today's situation, if you don't have a big hero, you can't control it." Zhang Zhen said: "Your Majesty is an immortal hero, how can it be measured by rotten Confucianism? It's just that His Majesty goes on like this and separates from his ministers, which is not a blessing for the community. I would like to recommend Tai Chong as His Majesty's feast. Explain the lessons of death and the way to control chaos. What does Tai Chong think? ”

Huang Zongxi listened, and his breathing was slightly short.

This is a great opportunity.

Although Zhang Xuan had held several sutra feasts, he was only hasty. First, he was busy with affairs, and secondly, Zhang Xuan did not put his mind on this. It's just a formality.

Now it's different, Zhang Zhen is directly connected.

Zhang Zhen, the head of civil officials, is not an ornament.

Although Zhang Xuan was deeply involved in the government affairs, the general affairs of the Great Xia court were still in the hands of Zhang Zhen. The division of labor between Zhang Xuan and Zhang Zhen is very illustrative, militarily, Zhang Xuan has a monopoly on power, and outsiders cannot touch it, and in political affairs, most policies are decided by Zhang Xuan after consulting with everyone. Although Zhang Xuan pays attention to many things, most of them are reform matters, such as Jiangnan Measurement, such as the Jingzhong Manufacturing Bureau, etc., and the general affairs of various places are in the hands of Zhang Qian.

After Zhang Zhen's inductive processing, Zhang Xuan was played.

Of course, in major matters, Zhang Xuan will naturally ask. General affairs are handled by Zhang Zhen himself.

As for what is a big thing and what is a small thing, it is natural that the things that Zhang Xuan pays attention to are big things, and the things that Zhang Xuan does not pay attention to are all small things. Although Zhang Xuan summoned ministers every day, he couldn't hide Zhang Xuan's affairs from all over the world.

It seems that Zhang Zhen is unknown. But in fact, imperceptibly, his protégés and former officials were all over the court. Even in the military, it is not without a little relationship.

I really want to do something, even Zhang Xuan can give some face.

"Thank you, Elder." Huang Zongxi said: "Your Majesty will definitely persuade Your Majesty to return to the right path. It's just that the lower officials don't have much contact with His Majesty, but they don't know if there are any taboos when they see His Majesty? ”

Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said: "When you see Your Majesty, remember the word 'sincerity', don't be afraid that the words are not good, what to say, as long as you say the truth, even if Your Majesty is angry, he will not say anything, but it is difficult to make some big words and want to retreat in the palace." ”

Huang Zongxi said: "Please rest assured, the officials will not commit this point." ”

"Okay." Zhang Zhen said: "Let's go down and prepare." The fifteenth day of this month has passed, and on the first day of the eighth month, I will arrange for you to see Your Majesty, and when the time comes, it will be up to you. ”

The things of the feast. Generally, it is held on the New Year's Day, that is, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

These rules are neither wanted nor violated by Zhang Qian.

Time flies, but a few days of effort, the first day of the eighth month arrived, but at this time, a news reached Zhang Zhen's ears, Fang Yizhi returned to Beijing.

Because the autumn harvest is approaching, all localities have no time to measure the land, and they have invested manpower and material resources in the autumn harvest. In addition, Zhang Xuan had no intention of letting Fang Yizhi continue to be outside, so he naturally summoned him to Nanjing early. On this day, Zhang Xuan was preparing to summon Fang Yizhi.

and want to encroach on the time of the feast.

It's not that Zhang Xuan hasn't done this

This kind of thing, there is not enough time to talk about things with people, so I directly pull this person into the scripture feast, called the scripture feast, but in fact, what we are talking about is still specific affairs, and there is no talk about Confucianism at all.

Only this time, after Zhang Xuan entered the Wenhua Palace, he immediately felt that something was wrong, because Zhang Zhen was here.

This Wenhua Hall is a newly renovated palace in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

Many palaces are actually not used by the emperor, but the imperial court to use, in the Chinese architecture, has always been the front hall and the back of the bed, in the palace, there are many halls are used by civil and military officials, in the maintenance of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, the harem can be put aside, but the front of many ceremonial use of the hall, but can not make a living.

Zhang Xuan asked, "Why is Shoufu here?" ”

Zhang Zhen saluted Zhang Xuan and said, "Your Majesty's banquet is a major event, and the ministers naturally have to come to listen to it." Today, the minister recommended a great talent for His Majesty, who is Yao Jiang Huang Xiaozi. ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Huang Zongxi, who was standing on the side, and said, "Mr. Huang, I have already heard about it. ”

This sentence is not a lie, even if Zhang Xuan did not cross, Zhang Xuan had heard the name Huang Zongxi. It's just that they may not all be good names, Huang Zongxi himself can call himself a relict of the Ming Dynasty, but many of his disciples came out of the Qing court, and even the manuscript of the history of the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty is also from Huang Zongxi's name.

There are all kinds of biases in it, and they have all become public cases, the most famous of which is the evaluation of Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying in history is certainly not a good person, but at least he did his duty to Daming and died. But Huang's disciple, while Shiqing, poured dirty water on Ma Shiying.

To be honest, in later generations, looking at this era, sometimes it is inevitable that it is difficult to be strong. Zhang Xuan has personally experienced this era, but he also understands Huang Zongxi's choice, he himself can be loyal to the Ming court, but his descendants and disciples cannot give up their family's future for the Ming Dynasty.

It's human nature. But the party is the same and the party fights differently, and people still make a fuss when they die, which is a little unauthentic.

There is this impression, although Zhang Xuan knows that Huang Zongxi is in the Hanlin Academy, but he does not have the intention of entrusting important tasks, in his impression, Huang Zongxi has a long talent in learning, known as one of the three masters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Since this is the case, Zhang Xuan wants Huang Zongxi to be the beginning of the summer. Don't get involved in the government.

So the treatment that Huang Zongxi deserves is also there, but it is not too close.

Huang Zongxi didn't know what Zhang Xuan was thinking, so he saluted respectfully and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Is Mr. Huang the keynote speaker today? ”

Huang Zongxi said: "Exactly. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "So let's start quickly." He secretly said in his heart: "I still have a lot of things to talk about with Mr. Fang, start early, and end it early." ”

"Obey." Huang Zongxi said. Everyone sat down one after another, and there was silence for a while.
