Chapter 134: Cabinet and Practical Learning (Seeking Recommendation, Seeking Collection)
After roughly talking about Li Sancai's life, Ruan Dacheng didn't care about the image and drank the tea. Zhu Youzhen beckoned Wang Chengen to renew his tea, and asked, "According to what you say, Li Sancai's ability is very strong?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Ruan Dacheng replied while nodding his head to Wang Chengen, who was renewing the tea.
"Your Highness, what Li Sancai cultivates is actually practical learning, and what he pays attention to is to apply it to the world. The one he admires and admires the most is Zhang Juzheng.
Li Sancai's ability to govern is unmatched in Donglin. Even if you look at the entire Ming Dynasty, Li Sancai can be regarded as an outstanding existence. It's a pity that he committed a taboo in the court and didn't end well. Ruan Dacheng looked melancholy for Li Sancai.
is also a traitor, this may be the biggest reason why Ruan Dacheng resonates with Li Sancai.
"That, you said that Li Sancai is practicing practical learning, what is this practical learning?" Zhu Youzhen keenly noticed a detail in Ruan Dacheng's words. Isn't that outlier Cui Zizhong also from the real school?
"Practical learning?" Ruan Dacheng really can't figure out the focus of this little prince, didn't he say Li Sancai, why did he suddenly jump to real learning? However, what His Royal Highness wants to hear, he can only say.
The so-called practical learning is actually the learning of practical work. The scholars of the practical school are still pragmatic, emphasizing empirical evidence, emphasizing the application of the world, opposing empty talk and advocating a pragmatic style. Ruan Dacheng said in a crepe that he introduced practical learning.
Ho, fortunately, the master still has a bit of ink and can still understand it. Zhu Youzhen secretly complained in his heart, this literati just can't speak well.
However, isn't the purpose of this practical study to do research realistically? And such a school of Confucianism? Why hadn't I heard of it in my previous life? Zhu Youzhen was in high spirits, and his heart was overjoyed.
Just listen to Ruan Dacheng continued: "This is the founder of the great Confucian Qiu Jun in the Jingtai period, and some of Mr. Gu Xiancheng's ideas can also be classified into this faction. ”
What the? Gu Xiancheng is also a person in practice? Then it seems that the Donglin Party does not understand practice, and the government can make a mess. Zhu Youzhen was confused for a while.
Didn't the ancients pay attention to different ways and not conspire with each other? Why is the concept of Gu Xiancheng so different from that of other Donglin Party members? However, this explains the reason why Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng came together.
As if to see King Xin's thoughts, Ruan Dacheng further explained: "Mr. Gu just agrees with Shixue and opposes empty talk, and advocates a pragmatic style. Mr. Gu hates others to talk about Zen and the mysteries the most, and he is most saddened by the misguided path of mind. As for Donglinnei, the real successor of Shixue is probably Li Sancai alone. ”
"Then according to what you say, practical learning is very niche?" Zhu Youzhen asked intently, he was instinctively full of good feelings for Shixue.
"Niche?" Ruan Dacheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what King Xin meant.
"Your Highness, the reason why you are not interested in learning is very simple." Ruan Dacheng shook his head, with a helpless look on his face: "To practice practical learning, you need to be proficient in practice, so that it can be applied to the world." In Daming, this kind of talent who learns is the highest one, just like Li Sancai. But if they want to be in the cabinet? That's hard. How many Zhang Taiyue can there be in this world? ”
Zhu Youzhen finally understood this sentence.
Entering the cabinet can be said to be the highest pursuit of literati in this era. Just like Gu Bingqian did not hesitate to join Gonggong Wei in order to enter the cabinet, most literati in this era have a fiery heart to enter the cabinet, and they have been working towards this goal all their lives. How could a scribe with such a great goal practice practice?
The Ming Cabinet was created by Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle.
Zhu Di created the cabinet only because he needed a secretary who was good at handling paperwork.
To put it bluntly, the cabinet was a secretary of Zhu Di at the earliest. Therefore, the original cabinet members were all from the Hanlin Academy (the writing of the Hanlin Academy must be good, and it is quite appropriate to write a report).
And because Zhu Di is for the purpose of cultivating young people (secretary, usually study with the leader for a few years, he will be released as an official), and the people who are promoted are all Hanlin who lack political experience in the Hanlin Academy. (Of course, these secretaries who are ready to train and release do not need to be appointed by senior ministers.) )
Therefore, the cabinet has a tradition of non-Hanlin not being included in the cabinet and senior officials not being included in the cabinet.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister. After Yongle, the cabinet gradually achieved the status of a prime minister by virtue of the authority of the emperor. The Wenchen, who benefited from the fame of the imperial examination, secretly and intentionally preserved the tradition of the cabinet for the purpose of promoting the imperial examination (most of the Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy were the top few in each imperial examination).
In this way, the highest policy-making center of the Ming Dynasty gradually evolved into a group of Jingguan Group centers that had never served as local officials and lacked a specific understanding of local affairs.
With such a center, the policies formulated and the control of the local area can be imagined.
Smoothing out the context of the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen shook his head again and sighed.
The Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty is really powerful, and the good policies of the Yongle era can always be distorted beyond recognition by them.
It's a pity that the glorious Yongle era, alas!
When the harsh punishment that Li Sancai, the king of Tota, received after his death, spread all over the world, the Donglin Party became everyone in danger and sought to save themselves.
When Ruan Dacheng threw himself into King Xin to seek self-help, in the distant Liaodong, Sun Chengzong, the emperor, the governor of Liaodong, and the Donglin Party, was also seeking to save himself.
Liaodong, on the banks of the Willow River
A burly man put his hands on a pergola and looked out over the river. But no matter how he looked at it, there was still nothing on the wide river.
"Straight sissy thief." The big man put down his hand and scolded irritably: "It's been two days overdue, even if those fish belong to turtles, they should climb here, right?" ”
An equally sturdy man beside him opened his mouth to persuade him: "Brother Lu, calm down, are you waiting?" ”
"Wait?" Lu Zhijia, the deputy general of the Ningyuan Central Association, was dumbfounded, "Li Chengxian, aren't you kid afraid?" ”
"Afraid? I'm afraid of a bird! General Li Chengxian glared back unceremoniously, "If those boys from the navy don't come, you can't fly over." ”
Lu Zhijia was speechless for a while, he looked up at this beautiful sunny day, and looked at the river for a long time. Turning his head, he stomped hard, and shouted, "Lao Tzu won't wait." Li Chengxian, Lao Tzu used those fishing boats to cross the river. Do you dare to go with Lao Tzu? ”
"Just go. If you want me to say, we shouldn't wait for them. If we had crossed the river as soon as we came, we should have all conquered Yaozhou by now. Li Chengxian shouted louder than Lu Zhijia.
Listening to Li Chengxian's shout, Lu Zhijia couldn't help but shake his head.
This time it's not just about beating Yaozhou. Sun Ge has been in Liaodong for 3 years, and the first-line defense of Ningyuan Juehua Island has been completely completed, and there should be no problem with the defense.
Since the third year of the Apocalypse, this batch of Guan Ning troops has also been trained for 2 years, and it is time to pull them out and try the fire. Otherwise, there is only one Yaozhou, how can Ma Dashuai (Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan) go out in person.
Thinking that Ma Dashuai had arrived in Youtun and would raise troops to come in person tomorrow, Lu Zhijia felt a burst of irritability in his heart.
