At this time, one by one in the pavilion slowly walked out, learning the appearance of the fourth son, worshipping three times and erecting a plaque, and then writing down their names.

These people are all lifting people, more identity and more promising than the scholars outside the pavilion, they all dare to write their names, which makes the scholars on the periphery a little tempted, but they still can't make up their minds, and they discuss it in twos and threes.

Huang Fengfu jumped out again at this time: "The fourth prince is righteous, he is not talented, although he is white, he is humble and does not dare to forget the country." I am willing to join the Erli Society and ask for my life for the people of the world! ”

Saying that, Huang Fengfu bowed to the plaque three times, pasted the name of the person on the periphery, and signed his name.

Scholars are finally getting excited.

Especially some children who have no fame, they suddenly realized in their hearts, yes, they are just a child, not even a showman, whether they can be an official or not, but they are worried about whether this club will develop in the future, whether they will let themselves rise to the top, and if they want to be successful, they have to take a fame.

Although the four sons are not as good as the old masters such as Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, they are much stronger than ordinary scholars, and it is impossible for them scholars to see the four princes in general.

Even if the Erli Society will not be as good as the Fushe and the Donglin Party in the future, but they will participate early, and there will always be some benefits, which is better than being a little pawn in the Fushe and Donglin.

Finally, after a scholar was impassioned, he went up to bow three times and signed his name.

There are more and more people, and even start to crowd and fight.

Because the earlier the signature, the more central position it can occupy, the fourth prince wrote his name around the word 'Erli'. People wrote their names around the names of the four sons, and went down again and again. Only those who write earlier can occupy a better position, and there are four or five hundred people here. I'm afraid I'll have to write it on the back when it's late.

Seeing this situation, the fourth prince stood aside and couldn't help laughing.

Mao Xiang also changed his original intention, and no longer felt that Huang Fengfu was so annoying, but felt that he was a person who could do things.

And he has a good brain, and he has ideas and can do things, and he can help their four sons do many things that are inconvenient to do.

As for whether Huangfeng Mansion would threaten the status of their fourth son, Mao Xiang didn't think about it at all. Because it's so boring, because it's impossible for it to happen.

The reason why they are the four sons is because they are talented, but not only because of their talents, there are more talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, what Gu Jiang, what Huang Zongxi, what Wu Weiye, who is not famous at a young age, but the four of them are the four sons of Jinling.

The first is because they are romantic. It has a great reputation in the Qinhuai River, and it is envied by people; The second is that they are from good families, which one is not a local noble family. Not a family of eunuchs; But more importantly, thirdly, they know how to seize the moment to make a name for themselves.

In terms of hard reading, they can't compare to Gu Jiang (later renamed Gu Yanwu); In terms of family background, Huang Zongxi, the son of Donglin celebrity Huang Zunsu, does not lose to them; In terms of poetry, lyrics, and composition, Wu Weiye is far superior to their four sons.

But when it comes to fame, who can compare to their four sons in Nanjing, let alone Nanjing now, who can compare with them in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

It's because they have a vicious eye and are extremely sensitive to fame. No opportunity will be missed.

And Huang Fengfu is just a poor kid, when they are doglegs. It's naturally okay to help them do things, and I want to steal the limelight from them. It's a dream.

After the scramble, it slowly calmed down, and the scholars who signed the sign all signed their names, and those who did not sign quietly hid in the crowd.

The fourth prince looked at it, there were about 300 people, and he was still very satisfied, these 300 people, signed their names, and shared the glory and disgrace with the four sons, and they will be a huge force in their hands in the future.

For the imperial examination, the fourth prince is determined to win, and no one regards the imperial examination as a very difficult thing, not only they see it this way, but everyone in the world sees it this way.

"Plaque, please!"

When no one signed anymore, Huang Fengfu shouted from the side.

The fourth prince raised the plaque nearby, and the other scholars took action one after another, and they felt honored to be able to touch a corner.

This plaque is to be taken to worship Confucius, this is a special superlative, it carries not only the names of their scholars, but also their determination to express to Confucius.

The scholars crossed the Huaiqing Bridge with the plaques in a noisy manner, and because of the crowding, a few scholars squeezed down the river.

After crossing the river, it was actually not far from the Confucius Temple, and under the onlookers of the common people, they broke into the Confucius Temple, and no one dared to stop them.

There were already people waiting with offerings such as chicken and duck strips, and it seemed that they had been prepared and well prepared.

The fourth prince took the lead in crying in front of the statue of Kong Sheng, once again expressing his indignation at the oppression of the good by Jinyiwei, indicating the reason for their establishment of the society, and swearing to Kong Sheng.

After some tossing, the whole day passed, and the three hundred scholars who participated in the Erli Society all stayed in the Confucian Temple all night, sleepless.

It was said that it was to express their minds, but in fact these people were very excited at the moment, and after this special mysterious ritual, they felt that their community seemed to be really like that, and there was really something sublime churning in their hearts, and they were moved by themselves.

The second establishment of the society, for the heaven and earth, for the people.

These two sentences come from Zhang Zai, the master of the Song Dynasty, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations".

It's just that in the Song Dynasty, there were indeed Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan and others who did this kind of ambition to do things for others, and now, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are no people who really do this, and I am afraid that there are no people who think so.

But it does not prevent these four words from winning the hearts of the people, especially these young scholars who have not heard anything outside the window and only read the books of sages and sages, and have not been corrupted by officialdom, they often still believe in these impossible creeds, and when they enter the filthy officialdom, everything is forgotten, and they only know how to compete for fame and fortune.

But at this time, it does not prevent them from getting excited, and it does not prevent them from moving themselves.

They soon felt that the name Erli Society was full of momentum and noble ambitions, and the revival of the Fushe Society had no momentum compared with their 'Erli', and Donglin's 'wind and rain, reading, and everything in their hearts' were also a little bland compared with their 'Erli'.

……

"It's such a good name, just by virtue of this name, Erlishe is enough to become famous."

Yang Chao couldn't help but admire.

"Did you give it to you?"

Gu Mei asked.

Li Xiangjun looked at it seriously.

Seeing Yang Chao shaking his head, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Gu Mei looked suspicious.

Yang Chao was not polite, because this name was really not what he thought, but was discussed by the fourth son.

I have to say that in terms of fame, the level of the four sons is very high, which is higher than their literary talent.

These people are born with a celebrity's sense of smell and are very sensitive to such things as fame.

"The two girls are too high-minded. The affairs of the fourth prince can't be the master in the future. ”

Yang Chao often came to Meixianglou to sit and talk to a few girls.

Today, there was a sudden news of the association of the four sons, and the two girls guessed Yang Chao for the first time, although Yang Chao did not admit it, but they insisted on their guess

During this time, Yang Chao has been asking them to help support the fourth son, this time the fourth prince made such a big move, and the momentum was even stronger than before, both of them guessed that Yang Chao gave them advice, because no matter how they looked, they could see a kind of Yang Chao's original meeting and the taste of opening the golden hairpin building.

This kind of flamboyant way is not the way of behavior of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, they have only seen it frequently in Yang Chao before.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were introverted, even if they were gatherings, they generally seemed low-key and elegant, even if Zhang Pu was reinstated at the beginning, in the name of meeting friends with literature and reviving ancient learning.

And this time, the fourth prince directly played the banner of 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth, and establishing a life for the people', which alone is countless times more attractive and shocking than Zhang Pu's publicity.

Therefore, the two suspected Yang Chao.

It's just that Yang Chao insisted that he didn't know the fourth son at all.

"Young Master Yang might as well tell me, what will the fourth prince do next?"

Gu Mei asked.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The new society has a new atmosphere, so naturally it is necessary to burn a few fires." I shouted out for the people's life, if I don't look for Jinyiwei to ask for someone, and if I don't ask the government for a request, what kind of life is it! ”

Li Xiangjun also agreed with Gu Mei's statement, because they had indeed heard that the fourth prince had brought people to make trouble again today.

As for why the fourth prince made trouble, they haven't received the news yet, as long as Yang Chao's statement is confirmed, there is no doubt that the whole thing was made by Yang Chao.

As a result, someone soon came with the news, saying that the fourth prince led someone to ask Jinyiwei to hand over Tian Wan.

Sure enough, it's an important person.

After a while, news came again, saying that the fourth prince publicly sent a letter to the imperial court, and asked the six departments to forward it to the emperor, advising the emperor to: promote the good and eliminate the bad, punish the corrupt officials, exempt the tax and provide disaster relief, and suppress the thieves and the people.

Gu Mei snorted: "You also said that you didn't come up with your idea." ”

Gu Mei completely confirmed that this was Yang Chao's idea, because it was exactly what Yang Chao said.

Yang Chao continued to deny: "It's completely guessing in the next, and if it was in the next, I would probably do the same." Say some empty words, and don't lose a piece of meat, and you can win a clear name for nothing, why not. ”

Li Xiangjun said suspiciously: "Yang Gongzi said that the fourth prince is talking empty words? ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Isn't it empty yet?" What are the pros and cons? Punish corrupt officials, for officials must be corrupt, how to punish them? Tax-free disaster relief, if the court had money, would not have provoked popular revolt. Suppressing thieves and reassuring the people, where does the same money come from? ”

Li Xiangjun knew that what Yang Chao said was reasonable, but these are indeed the current malpractices, and of course they must be changed.

"If you don't, what do you do?"

Li Xiangjun couldn't understand what the imperial court could do in addition to promoting the good and eliminating the bad, punishing corrupt officials, tax-free disaster relief, and suppressing thieves and reassuring the people.

yes, how to do it. (To be continued)
