Secret trouble!

Almost when Zhu Mingzhong came back from Yangzhou, the whole person seemed to be hit hard, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all, and along the way, there was only one sentence in his mind.

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Wu has to be like this!"

Once again, Wu Weiye's words resurfaced in Zhu Mingzhong's mind.

"Boom!"

He slammed the teacup to the ground, shattering into pieces and glittering in the sunlight with the tea.

"Shall I fuck him!"

Zhu Mingzhong scolded fiercely!

Why do they have a mouth just for the Daming Jiangshan, Lao Tzu killed all the way from Jiangyin to Xuzhou for the Daming Jiangshan, and I don't know how many times the blood mountain and the sea of fire have been tripped. Those bastards are good, with a mouth, so they have to clean themselves up for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!

"What the hell should be killed!"

When he scolded this sentence, Zhu Mingzhong was so angry that he couldn't wait to pick up a knife and cut Wu Weiye now!

Can...... He didn't!

Instead of cutting this person, he even returned it directly to Nanjing.

"Chengren, why are you so angry!"

At this moment, the sound of words coming from outside the door made Zhu Mingzhong quickly put away his anger, stood up and said to the comer.

"The student has seen the master! I didn't go out to greet him, and I asked the teacher to atone for my sins! ”

Although he was annoyed, Zhu Mingzhong still followed the etiquette of this era, "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher", as a disciple in this era, he must be respectful to his teacher, so it is his duty to be a disciple, of course, more importantly, Zhu Mingzhong, who has no foundation in this era, needs to use the relationship between Zhu Zhiyu and others in Shilin to recruit talents.

Even the reason why Zhu Mingzhong asked Zhu Zhiyu to preside over Qingjiang Academy was precisely because he hoped to use it to cultivate talents, after all, Zhu Mingzhong knew very well that in addition to his high attainments in traditional Confucianism, Zhu Zhiyu also learned a new discipline in the late Ming Dynasty from his teacher: practical learning. Shixue, originated from the "Shigong School" in the Song Dynasty, emphasizing the application of the world. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, outstanding politicians in the Wanli period of Longqing, were both faithful believers in Shixue. And Zhu Zhiyu has worshiped three teachers: Zhu Yongyou, Zhang Kentang, and Wu Zhongluan, all of whom are faithful believers in Shixue.

How powerful these three people are: Zhu Yongyou, the servant of the Ministry during the Chongzhen period, Zhang Kentang. The governor of Fujian during the Chongzhen period, the most powerful was Wu Zhongluan, although the official position was not high, but the educational achievements were outstanding, and many celebrities in the government and the opposition were his students. And Wu Zhongluan. This man is a versatile man, from wealth and taxation to farming and chopping wood. In addition to these exclusive stunts, what he taught Zhu Zhiyu the most was firm belief. often used various methods to hone and test Zhu Zhiyu's will, and what was repeatedly instilled in Zhu Zhiyu was a powerful belief: if you can't be loyal and filial, although you have economic talent, what good will it be.

It can be said that it is this strong belief that supports Zhu Zhiyu's choice in life.

Of course, for Zhu Mingzhong, what he needed was this teacher who was a master of practical learning in the late Ming Dynasty, who promoted practical learning in Qinghe Academy and cultivated a group of "new-style talents" who were completely different from Confucianism such as Cheng Zhu Lixue. Practical learning pays attention to "applying to the world" and paying attention to "learning from things". Its essence is "the study of substance and application".

Compared with defeating the Manchus militarily and restoring China, Zhu Mingzhong knew very well that what really determined China's fate was whether the "physical and practical learning" could gain a foothold in China in the future, and Zhu Ziyu and Qingjiang Academy were a key part of this.

It is precisely because of this that he fully supported the college and appointed Zhu Zhiyu as the head of the college. It's just that no one can understand Zhu Mingzhong's original intention at this time. On the one hand, because Zhu Zhiyu is his mentor, on the other hand, because he has a "picture" for him, Zhu Mingzhong has always been respectful to him.

For the student's respect, Zhu Zhiyu only nodded slightly.

"Chengren, although you and I are masters and apprentices, you are the official of the imperial court, so you don't need such a big gift!"

"Teacher, etiquette must not be wasted!"

Regarding Zhu Mingzhong's stubbornness, Zhu Zhiyu's heart was hot, and he didn't say anything more, and after sitting down, he looked at the disciple who made him very relieved and said.

"Chengren, I heard Daxian say that since you came back from Yangzhou this time, you have been depressed, what is the matter?"

Zhu Mingzhong's trip to Yangzhou this time is a good thing for the Economic and Strategic Envoy Office. In Yangzhou copied the traitor salt merchant 49, in the shock of the world traitors at the same time, confiscated the income of silver taels, houses, land and other no less than 20 million taels, so that has been plaguing Jiangbei's financial situation, immediately got a fundamental relief, at least in the next two or three years, there is no need to worry about money, as the head of the house Yao Xiang is a smile all day long.

Compared with the joy of others, Zhu Mingzhong looked depressed. Zhu Zhiyu, who understands his character, naturally will not misunderstand that he is a pity for those Yangzhou salt merchants, and his upright personality and jealousy are not only the reasons why Zhu Zhiyu admires him, but also his lack of character.

If it's not because of the salt merchants, then what's the matter?

"Teacher ......"

Sighing helplessly, looking at the concern on Zhu Zhiyu's face, Zhu Mingzhong smiled bitterly.

"Students, students don't know how to speak!"

After a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong said again.

"Students don't know, why students are loyal to my Daming, although they dare not say that their merits are high, and they have a little hard work, but in the eyes of some people, for the Ming Dynasty, they have to kill students!"

What the!

Looking at Zhu Mingzhong in astonishment, Zhu Zhiyu was taken aback by his words.

"Who? Chengren? Who wants to kill you, but Zheng Yanping? ”

Almost subconsciously, Zhu Zhiyu thought of the discord between him and Zheng Yanping, and naturally subconsciously thought that Zheng Yanping wanted to kill him.

"The prince has an upright personality and will never disdain to use such despicable means......"

Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong looked at his master and said in a slow voice what Wu Weiye said when he was in Yangzhou.

“…… Zheng Wangye is in Jiangnan, Cangshui is in Jiangxi, and the students are in Jiangbei to respond, it must be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, so although the students have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, they are also the sinners of the Ming Dynasty, and they can only kill the students to settle the world for the Ming Dynasty! If the students are not removed, the world will be uneasy! ”

When he said this, Zhu Mingzhong's heart suppressed an unspeakable anger, if it was possible, he would like to kill all the ministers of Nanjing, these people may not have the ability to settle the world, but the ability to harm the world is naturally generated, especially good at infighting.

Zhu Mingzhong's words reached Zhu Zhiyu's ears, which also made him feel a burst of anger in his heart.

"Such a villain, why did Chengren spare his life, why didn't he kill him happily! Why worry! ”
