The festival has passed, the snow has not disappeared, and the noise of Guiyuan has not regained and has become deserted. [Full text reading]

At present, the holy car is close to the capital, and most of the students gather near Andingmen, while happily discussing the unprecedented victory since the national dynasty, on the other hand, they also do not want to miss the opportunity to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

And the Guiyuan in winter, there is no atmosphere in the past, except for a few evergreen pine trees in all seasons, the whole garden can not see the slightest bit of green, far and near are white and boundless scenes, and the empty garden looks a little depressed.

However, it is not completely deserted, and if you look closely, you can see that on the most popular sunny slope, there is a man standing with his head down. This man was wearing a white shirt and had been silent, so it was easy to be overlooked, at least for Li Zhaoxian, who had come here to look for someone.

found the person he was looking for, but Li Zhaoxian did not walk up with a grin, patted the other party's shoulder and laughed loudly, but slowed down his pace and let out a silent sigh in his heart.

The bad news of the Yang Mansion came out on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and today is the seventh day of the first year, perhaps this news will not cause much repercussions among the people, and the focus of the people's attention now is only the holy car, but in Shilin, the repercussions caused are great.

Although Li Zhaoxian could not be regarded as a member of Shilin from beginning to end, he also knew this news at the first time, after all, he had a father who could be called the leader of Shilin, and this news spread among the courtiers, since he lived in the Li Mansion and was a matter of friends, how could he turn a deaf ear to this?

The reason why Yang Shen wore a white shirt in the winter was not to be handsome, it was a mourning dress, he was in the midst of filial piety, and his mood was somewhat commensurate with the bleak winter garden.

"Use the ...... to repair" Li Zhaoxian called in a low voice, he was very good at gags, but when it came to how to comfort people, he didn't have much experience, not to mention that the current situation was difficult to say whether it was happy or sad.

The great victory of the northern Xinjiang, the head of the northern captives has been built at the side wall of the Jingguan, it is said that the pagoda built up by the head of the people is as high as a mountain, and it is not inferior to the Yanshan mountain range with its mountains. According to the news that came a few days ago, on the way back to Beijing, the emperor went to Yehuling, and pointed to the pass that was broken by the Tartars and said:

"In the future, the Great Wall still has to be repaired, but the material for repairing is not soil and stone, but the head of the Tartars, as long as the Tartars are still disturbing the Ming frontier for a day, the pass built with human heads will be more majestic, until the Tartars die, or no longer appear in the sight of the Ming people."

Li Zhaoxian knew very well that after hearing this, his classmates were eager to immediately put pen to paper and go to the border to make meritorious contributions and drive out the Tartars. Even if you can't, you must finish your studies as soon as possible, join the torrent of Da Ming Xiong's rise in the world, and do your part in this unprecedented change.

Compared with the three years of Zhengde's chaos and worry, the next four years of Zhengde are very exciting and fascinating. In the college, the students who specialize in scripture and history have given Zhengde three years a pronoun of a chaotic year, and at the same time, they are also full of longing to name the four years of Zhengde as the year of soaring.

This name is very apt, and it is also in line with the current cognition of the Ming people, so as soon as the news came out, it immediately spread and quickly spread throughout the capital, and was supported by most people. Finding one's place in the year of soaring has become a topic for all Ming people, especially for the people of Beijing, the opportunity to take the lead is not to be missed.

Therefore, although Chinese New Year's Eve did not hold various performances and competitions as last year, the overall atmosphere in Beijing was still warm and festive. In comparison, the horror and sorrow among the scholars, and the further desolation, are so insignificant.

The scholar Yang Tinghe hanged himself on Chinese New Year's Eve, and during the Hongzhi period, this was a major event that shook the world, and the emperor might have to eat for this festival and issue a sin or something, otherwise he would be called a faint king.

Death is the most drastic method of scholars, and it is only common for low-level officials, especially the imperial history, and it is very unnecessary to reach the level of Jiuqing or even auxiliary rulers.

Because the latter's official position has reached its peak, there is no further possibility of surname, fame or something, of course, there is no longer a need, what the university scholar has to consider is nothing more than how to make the official position longer and more stable.

However, during the Hongzhi period, the scholars were powerful, so it would be like this. During the Zhengde period, except for the people in Shilin, few people felt that Yang Tinghe's death was very tragic, and the folk sayings were all saying that Yang Daxue committed suicide in fear of sin.

Whether it is a death sentence or a suicide in fear of sin, the focus is not on what the person has done, but on who controls his status and the power of public opinion. If the scholars remained strong, Yang Ge Lao's death was a death reprimand, enough to be a sharp weapon to use to attack the emperor, as they had repeated countless times in previous dynasties.

And Yang Ge's reputation after his death will not be affected in any way, and the historians will use the Spring and Autumn penmanship to write off all the sins that have been set down and those that cannot be determined. Daming Law does not have much spirit of the legal system, and many serious crimes need to be admitted by the parties themselves before they can be determined, especially the crimes of treason and treason.

If this were not the case, when later generations opened the history of the Ming Dynasty, how could the purpose be like that? There are countless upright officials who have the ability and prestige, and they are upset and upright, and they are thinking about the people of Limin, but the national situation of the Ming Dynasty is gradually devastation, and in the final analysis, it is because there are too many faint kings.

Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, just a few faint monarchs, can make the country corrupt like this? Isn't that ridiculous?

Since Yang Tinghe and the people are dead, and they have not left strong evidence such as letters, even if there are accusations by Cui Yan, Wang Xun and other parties, it is not enough to convict, unless it is traced back according to the new law.

Therefore, his self-hanging was a rather wise decision. If you take into account the relationship between him and Zhengde, it may also arouse the sympathy of the other party, so as to preserve Shilin's vitality, then Scholar Yang's strategy is even more impressive. This argument also prevailed in Shilin, and many people were lucky, wondering if they could take the opportunity to escape.

However, Li Zhaoxian doesn't think so, and so does his father Li Dongyang. On the last day of last year, in addition to the inherent surname of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was also the news that the battle report from Jiangnan reached the capital, and the rebellion of King Ning was put down by Wang Shouren, and the last glimmer of hope of the warriors was also shattered.

Yang Tinghe's death is also not an isolated phenomenon, on Chinese New Year's Eve, many die-hards in Shilin have decided on their own, drawing an end to their careers. They died in despair, but they also had the idea of preserving their family.

According to the practice of Daming officialdom, after the official position reaches a certain level, Zhishi has already admitted defeat, and the opponent should let go generously and not chase and kill, which is the gentleman's demeanor.

Zhengde and Xie Hong have never regarded themselves as gentlemen, and of course this rule can't restrain them, so they did it a little more intensely, directly admitting defeat to death, hoping to get some kind of leniency. Except for the Jiangnan incident, Xie Hong rarely engages in plant connections, which is also one of his weird performances, ruthless, but not very keen on cutting grass and eradicating roots, this kind of thinking is really different.

According to Li Dongyang's judgment, Yang Tinghe may have another layer of thought, that is, not to affect his son, and then use the fact that he was forced to die to stimulate Yang Shen's hatred, so that he can wake up and make a later picture.

Up and down, Xie Hong doesn't like to engage in Zhulian, and the same atmosphere is permeated in the academy, Yang Shen and Li Zhaoxian are both quite optimistic about the tutors, and there is a similar consensus among the students. It can be expected that in the new bureaucratic system in the future, Yang Shen is likely to occupy a very important position, and he can even be expected to take over Wang Shouren's class.

If Yang Shen has a father's hatred, then there is an opportunity to subvert from the inside. Such examples are not uncommon in novel reviews, but those protagonists who take revenge often hide their names, and their true identities will not be revealed until the villain is finally defeated, rather than Yang Shen's routine of showing the carriage and horses.

This verse was not thought of by Li Zhaoxian himself, but told him by his father. When Li Dongyang spoke, he was also embarrassed and very emotional, Li Zhaoxian was very suspicious that his father had also turned the same thought, so he could see through Yang Tinghe's mind so accurately.

He has always been informal, and his mouth is open, so he has nothing to shy away from, and directly asked his father for verification, the two of them are somewhat similar, Li Dongyang is actually a little uninhibited in his bones, and in the face of his son's doubts, he also admitted it calmly, and put out the idea that turned in his mind.

"Of course, I have also thought about it, the emperor has now put on this unrelenting posture, rather than die in the liquidation, it is better to make a decision on his own, suffer less and not say anything, and leave some thoughts, and then, I thought of you in the academy...... However, I thought about it carefully, and I expected you to be too naïve, just your unobtrusive surname, even if you have a father's hatred, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember a few years, so forget it, when the emperor comes back, I will resign from the table, and the rest, just leave it to fate. ”

was treated like this by his father, and Li Zhaoxian didn't feel wronged. First, he was originally such a bohemian surname, and secondly, the teaching and learning of the academy often emphasized the word 'country', and China was in front.

Such a statement is similar to the general righteousness of Confucianism, but in the Confucian outline, it is actually the same thing to refer to the country as a jun. It is beneficial to the country to get rid of the old bureaucracy and replace Confucianism and Taoism with the study of a hundred schools, and it will make the country stronger, so in this process, there will be no room for private feelings to stand on it.

Li Zhaoxian was not that kind of nerd in the first place, and he quickly accepted these new concepts, but now, he has some deep-rooted feelings, and he can't do it anyway to let him subvert national affairs with personal vendettas.

What's more, as he learned about the benefits of the new system, he had a vague feeling that in the new system, the power of the individual would become smaller and smaller, and that kind of subversion from the inside would not happen.

In fact, not only the new system, but also the old bureaucratic system of Confucianism, as long as it enters the system, do not want to go against the general trend, if anyone wants to do this, the relevant stakeholders in the whole system will press on it, so that it will never recover.

The reluctance of the previous dynasty to change the law is a clear proof, he is in the phase, and has the full support of the emperor, and there are countless disciples and protégés under him, and his strength is not strong, but what is the result? After barely supporting it for more than ten years, the new law has finally become a mirror, and it is absolutely impossible to subvert the system if you are within the system.

Therefore, Li Zhaoxian was very worried about his friend, for fear that the other party would drill the tip of the bull's horns, so that he would follow in the footsteps of Yang Tinghe.
