The great man of chivalry was frightened, and the sound of Hengyang Zhipu was broken.

In the north of Hengyang City, the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and the confluence of the steaming water, the river flow is the most beautiful place in the county, so there is a academy. The world-famous Stone Drum Academy is located here.

This magnificent academy built by the mountain and climbed step by step, was built in the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty, and flourished in the two Song dynasties, and I don't know how many sages poured their efforts here. During the Northern Song Dynasty, this also needed to share the four well-known academies with the other three, and it was able to surpass its peers in this dynasty, and it was called "the first academy in the world" because it was once the dojo of the sage Zhu Xi.

However, in recent decades, this mecca of science has lost its glory, and the number of students has been declining year after year, and even the main source of its income, donations from all walks of life, have become less and less. Although it is far from the point where it cannot be sustained, the decline is already very obvious.

There is no other reason, success is also Zhu Zi, defeat is also Zhu Zier. When science was dominant, it was a holy place, and both teachers and students and various resources were crying and shouting and squeezing in. However, after the great prosperity of Wang Xue, although science was still an official formal study, it was the habit of the huge empire. In fact, its dominance has been snatched away by Xinxue, both academically and in the world.

As Zhuzi's old nest, Shigu Academy is regarded as a representative of decay and stubbornness, and has become an object of spurning, criticism, and isolation.

After learning from the pain, the head of the academy decided to follow the flow of cháo and downplay his own science. So the chief of the mountain invited Mr. Fushan, who is famous all over the world, He Xinyin, to come and give a lecture. As long as this most famous master of mind can sit for a while, the aura of Zhuzi in the academy will naturally be washed away.

Knowing the other party's intentions, He Xinyin was still happy, because he also regarded this as the final victory of Wang Xue over Lixue.

In February of this year, the conference in Nanjing was ended, and the orthodox status of the Qionglin School was confirmed, He Xinyin was unwilling to get involved with the powerful guys of the Qionglin School, so he left Nanjing at the same time as Li Zeng, "one went to Fujian to give lectures, and the other was invited to Hengyang Shigu Academy."

In this era, the charm of the master of mind is a hundred times stronger than that of the superstars of later generations.

In particular, He Xinyin's proposition that "scholars may not be noble, and farmers and businessmen are not inferior" and "everyone should be their own master" is too attractive to those cloth clothes and businessmen.

Therefore, whenever he went to give lectures, a large number of ordinary people and merchants must have joined him.

As soon as He Xinyin arrived at Shigu Academy, it was like a magnet, attracting people from all over Huguang to come over, not only accommodating more than 400 people in the academy, but also more than 1,000 people living in it. The stone drum mountain outside the academy is also dotted with tents, and there are at least 3,000 people.

He Xinyin lectured on the altar during the day, answering questions and answering questions, and at night was his rest time. Even though it was nighttime in the academy, it was still noisy and brightly lit. But in order to ensure that he can rest well, "the academy deliberately vacated the Dongyan grass hut in the back mountain, and no one was allowed to disturb it.

Although He Xinyin is nearly seventy years old, because he has jīng Zhan's technique of adjusting the yuan, he lectures one day, and his mouth is not dry or soft, as if there is no loss. It was only when he was tired of those vain and unfortunate entertainments that he ordered him not to see any guests every night on the grounds that he needed to rest.

Today, however, he made an exception because the visiting guests were too special.

…… One...... Mouth...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... Mouth...... Mouth...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One............ One...... There are a few lights lit in the grass hall, and the brightness is not bad.

Under the flickering light, two old men with pale beards were toasting and drinking, tǐng jiāo who remembered the past.

The one with high cheekbones and sharp eagle eyes is He Xinyin, and the other old man with long hair and fluttering hair and sword eyebrows turned out to be Zhang Juzheng, who had not been seen for a long time.

Listening to the conversation between the two, they not only know each other, but also belong to the kind of ............... that Jiuyu knows, and their topics go around and around, and they are always inseparable from Jiajing for twenty-six years, because that is the year when the two met.

That year, both of them were high-spirited young people who happened to live in the same inn.

At that time, among the people in the Manchurian inn, he was the two most outstanding, one Jiangxi Xie Yuan, and the other Huguang Xie Yuan, both of whom were suave and suave, and the dragon and phoenix among the people. But if you really want to talk about it, He Xinyin is both civil and military,

is young and golden, but Zhang Juzheng can't compare.

With such a one-in-a-million character, conceit is inevitable, the problem is that this benevolent brother is crazy. At a gathering of the children, He Xinyin said in public: "Although He is not talented, he will try it in Beijing this time, and he will run for the first department." The rest are out of my sight. "A is the top three in the first class. At present, what is gathering in the capital is thousands of people from all over the country, all of whom can be called outstanding, but few people dare to speak like him.

Someone was not convinced, and deliberately asked: "Brother Zhuqian, what if you can't pass the first subject?" He Xinyin smiled faintly, drank a full glass, and said upside down on the table: "I, He Mou, will never enter the examination room again in this life!" "Sometimes people can't talk too much, or they will be ugly. But he said that on the gold list for two months, he occasionally lost the leading hope, and He Xinyin not only did not get admitted to the first department, but also did not have his share in the second department. He Xinyin also did not go to the examination of the Ministry of Rites, striving for the opportunity to stay in the capital to study, packed his bags, and left Beijing.

In the more than three months of sojourn life, the two angry young people have become Mo Zhizhi because of their mutual appreciation and mutual recognition. Zhang Juzheng, who has already been named on the gold list, naturally wants to give this old rain and new knowledge a ride. Under the ten-mile long pavilion, Zhang Juzheng said sincerely: "With the talent of a brother, if you enter the chūn after three years, you will definitely be named on the gold list." However, He Xinyin said indifferently: "Uncle, you don't need to comfort me, I know my own skills."

If you fail the exam now, it can only mean that this imperial examination only takes some useless people who have been brainwashed by science. What's more, fame is a tiring thing, and it is incompatible with me. The reason why I came to the capital was just to deal with my father. Now that the cutscenes are gone, and the cowhide has been blown out, I won't enter the field again. ”

Although Zhang Juzheng listened awkwardly, he admired this free and easy atmosphere, and still felt pity and said: "You are a scholar, what can you do if you abandon your fame?" "What I said, is it true that my generation is studying just to earn a black yarn hat for goods and the emperor's family?" He Xinyin shook his head and said: "I want to visit famous teachers all over the world and learn real knowledge" said and smiled at Zhang Juzheng: "When I complete the study of the state and the world, my achievements at that time will definitely be greater than you, an official." ”

"It must be." Zhang Juzheng was also infected by his heroic spirit, and the two drank bitterly, so they hugged their fists and said goodbye. Thirty-one years later.

The two have walked out of two completely different life trajectories, and Zhang Juzheng is becoming an official. In the end, he was ranked as the top of the country, setting off a vigorous New Deal reform. Although he was disgraced by the "love incident, his reforms still have a profound impact on the country today."

He Xinyin walked the world with a sword, and wrote chūn autumn. Lecturing, being a hero, opening a hall,

He also designed to get rid of Yan Song, and did everything he wanted to do, and he did it all by piece, which one of them was enough for ordinary people to be proud of for three generations.

The two life trajectories that should have been farther and farther apart have appeared under the arrangement of fate.

Of course, if Zhang Juzheng hadn't found Mén, the two would not have seen that since several attempts to recover to no avail, Zhang Juzheng was able to do some things, so he no longer sought to go out of the mountain, but traveled to the mountains and rivers to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. This time, he was going to Hengshan to play, and when he heard that He Xinyin was lecturing here, he changed his itinerary and came to Shigu Academy.

After arriving, Zhang Juzheng did not immediately report himself to his home, but listened to a lecture in the academy for a day, and only when he gave a lecture did he let people use his name to see He Xinyin.

Knowing that it was him who came, He Xinyin immediately invited in and instructed the academy to prepare a table of banquets and not let anyone disturb him.

After 38 years, the two former friends finally sat together again and toasted to each other.

The last time they drank together, they were all graceful young men, but this time they have become half-old men in the age of huājia, how can they not make the two of them sigh and feel sad?

But He Xinyin knew that Zhang Juzheng was looking for himself, and he was definitely not reminiscing. Twenty years ago, when I first became a master of mind, I received a letter from him, and I can still remember Zhang Juzheng's evaluation of mind: "The evil one I am evil, the evil purple snatches Zhu Yeyi's Luàn Miao, and Zheng Sheng's Luàn Ya is also a hypocrisy." After that, the two met in Beijing, had a conversation, and parted unhappily. Later, the same mén asked how the person was? He Xinyin issued the judgment that this person "can die and learn", and as a result, Wang Xue fell into silence completely, and since then he has embarked on the road of opposing Zhang Juzheng.

He knew very well that in the dictionary of this old friend, there was never the word "forgiveness", so when he came to meet this time, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "Zhu Qian, after listening to your lectures, I found that it is becoming more and more deviant, and you openly declare that you are a heresy of "no king and no father", which will bring you ruin. ”

"My knowledge is indeed heretical, but it is not heresy" He Xinyin shook his head and replied, "The relationship between father and son, monarch and minister, among the five Lun proposed by Confucius, is the most restrictive. The father in the family, the king in the court, no matter right or wrong, must be absolutely obedient. In this way, people tremble all their lives, they are not themselves, they are slaves and puppets who must act according to the will of others. Under this kind of rule, the whole country is a group of slaves, even the emperor is no exception, he is a slave of the ancestral family law. What is the vitality of a slave nation? What is the meaning of a slave's life? ”

He Xinyin deserves to be a generation of masters, Zhang Juzheng knew that he was absurd, but he still couldn't help but feel reasonable, shook his head and said: "The dynasty is maintained by this kind of program that you don't like, if there is no such monarch and ministers, fathers and sons, the society will collapse." ”

"Honkai is bad." He Xinyin sneered: "Your so-called Gangchang has made me Huaxia spin in place for more than 2,000 years. In our pre-Qin period, Taixi was just a group of blood-drinking savages, but now the level of civilization has faintly surpassed ours. "Exaggeration, isn't it?" Zhang Juzheng did not believe it.

"It's hard to tell the difference between high and low philosophy. However, there is no practical study of astronomical calendar, water conservancy and agricultural administration, medicine and physics, and we have nothing that can compare with others. He Xinyin lamented: "Take the boiling celestial prediction at the beginning of the year, we all know that our ancestors in the Han Dynasty have a record of successful predictions, but why is it that after more than a thousand years, we are rash and ignorant and need Westerners to teach?" It is because of these things that you will make what you call the morality of kings, ministers, fathers and sons, no longer sacred and natural, but the true face of man-made arrangements. So the fathers were terrified and had to destroy these things. Because Lao Tzu and Confucius both told them that they must do everything possible to make the common people ignorant, which makes them so confused! ”

"Although what you said is biased, there is some truth in it." Zhang Juzheng sighed lightly and said: "But if this is not the case, how can you rule such a vast country with trillions of people?" After a pause, he said: "The first sentence of your "Yuan Jun" doesn't just say: "At the beginning of life, people have their own interests, and people have their own interests: there are public interests in the world and they do not prosper, and there are public disasters and do not eliminate them." Without the state and the king, we would have been extinct long ago......"

"Yes, you are a scholar, a person who rules the world with the king, of course you feel that this is good, because it can ensure that you can arbitrarily oppress and enslave the people, and satisfy your own greed with the blood of the whole country, how can you say that it is not good? But what about people other than you? It is true that it is better to be a peace dog than a person who is separated from Luàn, and everyone needs to have the protection of the state and order. So we have to feel sorry for ourselves as peace dogs? He Xinyin said angrily: "This is the country of your monarchs and scholars, and it is just a cage for us." The ones in the cage are all pig dogs waiting to be slaughtered! We are human beings, not slaves of anyone, and we are not pigs and dogs that we have copied. What we need is a country where we can be honest and feel safe and dignified! And not a cage built by lies and tyranny! Zhang Juzheng completely confirmed his guess, and said sharply: "You have a big rebellious idea!" "So what?" He Xinyin poured himself a glass of wine and said: "But I don't recognize your way, my way is humane, not your monarch and minister's beast way, so you say that I am "rebellious, it's okay, but if you don't do", you will be grateful for not being sensitive."

"You can't save the Ming Dynasty with such wild words, you can only bring disaster to the country and disaster to those who believe in you." Zhang Juzheng held down his wine cup and said.

"Hahahaha......" He Xinyin smiled, and with only two fingers, he clamped Zhang Juzheng's hand, then raised the wine glass with the other hand, drank it all and said: "If today, how can I be the only one who has such thoughts?" I have thousands of colleagues! ”………………………… One point down".................................

And a lot more, today.!.
