Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Heyi and the others with some amusement.

Zhang Heyi shook his head and said, "My lord, it's okay here, the relatives and friends of the lower officials, the fathers, brothers and elders, all those who can come have come, and the letters that can't have arrived have also arrived." ”

Sun Chuanting also shook his head and did not speak, obviously, they were also under great pressure.

Gao Hongtu's expression was tense, and he looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, there is always a shirk among the lower officials, here, my lord?" ”

Zhou Zheng's voice seemed to suddenly remember, and he got up and said, "It's okay, you just hold on, I'll go see Mr. Jinghu." ”

Saying that, Zhou Zheng personally went out to greet him.

Sun Chuanting, Gao Hongtu and others glanced at each other and left one after another.

With the official beginning, they have too many things to do, and right now, there is the matter of relocating the yamen into the prime minister's compound.

When Zhou Zheng came to the door, he saw Han Cheng wearing cotton clothes, in good spirits, and looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly took two steps forward, raised his hand and said, "The student has seen Mr. ”

Han Cheng looked at Zhou Zheng and said with some emotion: "I used to be able to afford you as a gentleman, but now I can't afford it." ”

Zhou Zheng and Han Cheng are similar to 'gentlemen's friends', rarely involving interests, and can't help but smile and say directly: "Sir, are you also here to be a lobbyist?" ”

Han Cheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the three big characters of 'Zhengxi Corridor', and said: "When you and I first met, you had just joined the ranks, and in the past ten years, I have seen every step of your life, but I never thought that you could come to this point." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed with emotion and said, "Sir, let's go in and talk, shall we?" ”

Han Cheng nodded and followed Zhou Zheng to the small living room.

He looked at Zhou Zheng making tea, just like he was in Jiujiang Pavilion more than ten years ago, but his expression now was not as restrained as before, dazed, cautious, more calm and firm, and his eyes flashed with a sharp mang.

Han Cheng was a little hesitant in his heart, took the teacup, didn't drink it, and looked hesitant.

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "What is it that makes Mr. so embarrassed?" ”

Han Cheng looked sincere about Zhou Zheng, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, put down the teacup, and said: "From the perspective of the court, your handling is not wrong, and from the perspective of changing the law, it is not bad." It's just that you have pried the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and if you are not careful, you may sink into the sand, and even the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Han Cheng's expression and said with a smile: "Mr. is not a person who can lie. ”

The corners of Han Cheng's mouth moved, and he sighed helplessly, "It's okay." I came for two reasons. One, it is indeed face-saving. At the beginning, I introduced a lot to you in Jiujiang Pavilion, most of them were honorable ministers, they sold me old faces, and they didn't ask for anything, but now I can't shirk it regardless of decency. Second, I'm worried, I'm worried that you will follow the path of Wang Mang or Cao Cao. It must be known that power is temporary after all, and only fame is eternal. We've been teachers and friends for more than a decade, and I don't want you to get to that point. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly, this is the truest thought in Han Cheng's heart.

He thought about it inwardly, habitually picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "The situation of Daming, I have discussed it with Mr. many times, and I really need to scrape the bones to cure the poison, and now the student has begun to use the knife, Mr. thinks, should I stop or what?" ”

Han Cheng is a master in the literary world, although he has been a Jinshi, he is dedicated to learning rather than his career, but he also cares about the Ming Dynasty, and has discussed a lot with Zhou Zheng over the years.

Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, his expression changed and changed, and finally he sighed and said: "Since ancient times, people have sought perfection and perfection, and I have cultivated myself over the years, thinking that I am not burdened by external things, and I don't want to be in the middle of it or fall into the cliché, and I can't avoid vulgarity." Zhengyun, I really shouldn't have come this time. ”

Zhou Zhengdeng smiled and said: "I also practice, even if Mr. doesn't come today, he will come tomorrow." ”

Han Cheng nodded silently, as if he had let go of his thoughts, the condensation on his face gradually faded, and his smile grew, and said, "What you said is right, and what you did is not wrong." This time looking for me, it was Liu Zongzhou, although he was a few years later than me, his knowledge was above me, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there was no equal, and he might be able to catch up with Yang Minggong. The world's virtuous people all look to him. He has entered the office, and he is still a Yangming rightist, so I am afraid that he will not be easy to be good. ”

After nearly 100 years of development, 'Yangming Xinxue' has formed a huge school, and the people of the world do not speak of Confucianism, but talk about Xinxue and Wang Xue, which can imagine its influence.

With such influence, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements, which has formed various schools of Yangming Xinxue, among which the 'Seven Schools of Wang Xue' are the most famous.

The Yangming Left, which has developed the most rapidly, has developed to oppose absolute monarchy, emancipate women, value business, science and technology, and be economically pragmatic, and is regarded as heresy in the general environment, among which the representative figure is Li Zhen!

The Yangming rightists, in short, are 'cautious independence', they must follow the principles of heaven and conscience, and their development to the present, in the eyes of many people, is empty talk and retreat.

At present, the leftist is developing rapidly and is the most extensive, including Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, etc. However, the rightists occupy a dominant position in learning, especially Liu Zongzhou, who seems to be a great Confucian in the world, and directly pursues Wang Yangming.

Now, Liu Zongzhou opposes the 'unkindness' of the imperial court, but in fact he also opposes Zhou Zheng's 'change of law'. Liu Zongzhou is in the opposition, and he doesn't seem to have any power, but in fact, if he ascends to the heights, it will be even more terrifying than the influence of the Fushe!

If you take off your official position, on other occasions, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yanru, and Qian Qianyi have to raise their hands and respectfully call them 'Mr.'.

Zhou Zheng wandered around in his heart for a long time and said, "I have met Mr. Qishan once, and it seems that I will see him again." ”

Han Cheng looked at Zhou Zheng, then looked at the huge west corridor, and said: "If I can come, there will be more others, and the pressure you are facing will be more and more, if you think it is right, don't hesitate and move forward firmly." ”

Zhou Zheng leaned over and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Han Cheng waved his hand, got up and said, "I'm leaving, go back to my hometown, and don't go out." Remember me in the future and give me incense. ”

Zhou Zheng looked startled, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "That's not what I meant." I realized that my mood was not as good as I thought, and I was going to study behind closed doors and cultivate my self-cultivation. ”

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll send someone to send Mr. back." ”

Han Cheng shook his head and said: "Lu Jiandou's ability is very good, the thieves are surrounded at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there is no accident, I can't survive this winter, next year, I should be able to settle in the northwest." ”

Zhou Zheng also sighed in his heart, he and Han Cheng had an accidental relationship, and it had been more than ten years.

Han Cheng also said casually, didn't want to say more, and walked outside.

Zhou Zheng sent him out of the palace, and he still talked a lot along the way.

As soon as Han Cheng was sent away, before Zhou Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, 'Erzhang' appeared not far from Zhou Zheng and came straight away.
