The first thing that came to Zhang Bin's mind was Zhang Zai's first book "Nine Articles of Side Discussion".

At that time, the Western Xia often invaded the western border of the Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty "gave" a large number of materials such as silk, silver, and tea to the Western Xia in exchange for border peace.

In the first year of Song Renzong's Qingli, when Zhang Zai was 21 years old, he wrote the "Nine Articles of Border Discussion" and wrote to Fan Zhongyan, who was in charge of the defense of the northwest at that time, stating his views and opinions.

"Compared with Zhang Zai, the original Zhang Bin is indeed mediocre!" Zhang Bin also remembered that because of the "Nine Articles of Discussion", some intersections between Zhang Zai and Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister through the ages.

In the first year of Kangding, Fan Zhongyan summoned Zhang Zai in the Yanzhou Military Mansion, and the latter talked about military border defense, defending his hometown, and his ambition to regain lost territory was greatly praised by Fan Zhongyan, but Fan Zhongyan said: "Confucianism has its own famous teaching, what is the matter with soldiers?" ”

Fan Zhongyan thought that Zhang Zai could become a great tool, and persuaded him that as a Confucian student, he would definitely become a great tool, and that he did not need to study military affairs, and encouraged him to read "The Mean" and work Confucianism.

Zhang Zai listened to Fan Zhongyan's advice and went home to study "The Mean" hard, but he was still not satisfied. After more than ten years of study, he finally realized the truth that Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism complement each other and are interconnected, and gradually establish his own doctrine system.

In the second year of Qingli, Fan Zhongyan completed the construction of Dashun City in order to defend against the southern invasion of Western Xia, and specially invited Zhang Zai to Qingyang to write "The Story of Dashun City in Gyeongju" to commemorate.

"But speaking of which, my father was not too young when he was admitted to the Jinshi examination." Zhang Bin had a faint ridicule on his face, of course, not to ridicule himself Zhang Zai, but to ridicule the imperial examination system.

In the second year of Jiayou, the thirty-eight-year-old Zhang Zai went to Bianjing to take the exam, when Ouyang Xiu took the main examination, Zhang Zai and Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers boarded the Jinshi, but Zhang Zai has been famous, when waiting for the edict to be on standby, Zhang Zai was supported by Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, and set up a tiger skin chair in Kaifeng Xiangguo Temple to talk about "Yi".

During this period, he met Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers, Zhang Zai was Ercheng's cousin, but he treated others modestly, listened to Ercheng's views on the Book of Changes, and then felt that he had not learned enough. The next day, he said to the listeners, "The way of easy learning, I might as well be the second way." Ask them for advice. As a result, Ercheng became famous in Beijing.

"Daddy is modest, but he has achieved two journeys." Zhang Zai shook his head, a little disagreeing with his father's point.

After Zhang Zai entered the Shidengdi, he successively served as the judicial officer of Qizhou, the commander of Yunyan County, the author of Zuolang, and the military judge of Weizhou. When making the Yunyan County Order, the government decree was strict, and the handling of political affairs was given priority to "good customs", and the implementation of moral politics, attaching importance to moral education, and advocating the social trend of respecting the old and loving the young.

"In the Great Song Dynasty, although the proportion of good officials like my father who is dedicated to serving the country and the people is not too much, it is definitely not a few." Zhang Bin still recognizes Dr. Song Shishi's integrity, but he doesn't agree with their methods and means of doing things, as well as some concepts.

"No wonder my father wants to send his son to such a dangerous place as Dashun City, my father is a model of patriotism and loyalty, and he is very interested in military affairs." Zhang Bin thought of some things again and sighed.

Zhang Zai once founded the "Law of Soldiers and Generals" to promote joint training and combat between the military and the people of the border guards, and also proposed to abolish the garrison and replace the garrison and recruit locals to replace them. He even wrote "Jing Yuan Lu Jing Lu Si Zhi Zhi

The year before last, in the imperial history, Cheng Lu Gong recommended Zhang Zai to the Son of Heaven, praising Zhang Zai for having the original learning, and the scholars of the Quartet are all Zongzhi.

"This dad is a really capable person, but he may not be an official." This is Zhang Bin's evaluation of Zhang Zai.

The Son of Heaven summoned Zhang Zai and asked him how to govern the country, and Zhang Zai "all took the three dynasties (i.e., Xia, Shang, and Zhou) as the opposite."

Shenzong was very satisfied and wanted to send Zhang Zai to an important position in the Privy Council. But Zhang Zai thought that he had just been transferred to Kyoto and knew little about the changes of Wang Anshi in the imperial court, so he asked to wait for a period of time before making a plan, and was later appointed as a scholar of Chongwen Academy, but because he was involved in the dispute between the old and new parties, he was implicated, and he resigned directly and returned to Hengqu to lecture and study all day.

Combined with the information known by later generations, when I recalled that Zhang Bin's memory was here, the carriage stopped.

Zhang Bin took a deep breath, got out of the carriage with Zhu Niang, and explained Huang Mazi's words again, and let him get into the carriage.

In the past few days at the home in Hengqu Town, Huang Mazi and other eight guards have to take turns in the car to keep an eye on the snake slave master and servant......

Of course...... Not drudgery!

……

……

Zhang Bin looked at the house in front of him, which covered an area of more than ten acres, which had nothing to do with the magnificence, and could even be called a simple house, thinking that the original Zhang Bin was born and raised here, and his mood at this time was complicated.

He deliberately did not send someone to report to his parents in advance, so the family did not know that he was coming back today.

Zhang Zai doesn't like pomp, and the thieves in Guanzhong will never go to Mr. Hengqu's house to spread wild, so there is no one guarding the door.

Above the main entrance of the courtyard, there is a horizontal plaque with a width of several feet, on which are written the four big characters of "Hengqu Academy".

For Zhang Bin, this is not only the academy, but also the home where he grew up.

After looking around, Zhang Bin found two stone tablets on both sides of the gate, each with an inscription, and he remembered that the original Zhang Bin did not have these two stone tablets when he left home more than a year ago.

Take a closer look, the left hand is "Ximing", the right hand is "Dongming", obviously this is Dad's recent new work.

Zhang Bin suddenly remembered that in the original history, it was this period of resignation and study that allowed Zhang Zai to write a large number of works, summarize the academic achievements of his life, and in order to admonish scholars, he also made the famous "Foolish" and "Stubborn" precepts that have been passed down through the ages.

He vaguely remembered that it was during this period that Zhang Zai almost went to prison because of something, and he couldn't be an official for a long time.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhang Bin led someone to open the door and walk in.

All the way in, did not see any subordinates appear, faintly heard the familiar but unfamiliar voice of the lecture hall in the middle courtyard, Zhang Bin immediately understood that today is the day of Zhang Zai's lecture, according to the rules of the house, not only Zhang Zai's students and students from all over the country come to listen to the lecture, but also the people in the house also have to listen to the lecture.

"Today's schools of thought in the Great Song Dynasty are blooming like a hundred flowers, and Dad's Guan Xue is actually just one of the many schools." Walking slowly to the lecture hall of the middle courtyard, Zhang Bin remembered a lot of things.

Wang Anshi was famous for "Huainan Miscellaneous Sayings" in the old years, and during the Yingzong period, he taught and educated people in Jinling, and the world called it the Huainan School.

With Wang Anshi becoming the prime minister, changing the test, revising the preface, and a set of measures, the doctrine of the Huainan school has spread all over the world.
