Chapter 199 Tian Drunken Yan Travelogue

"The minister considered that the age difference between Hetian Jing was too great, and in the end, Hetian became a brother with a drunken face." Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "By the way, Your Majesty, the righteous brother of the minister also came to the capital with the minister this time, saying that he wanted to ask the emperor for guilt on behalf of his father." ”

"Really? Where is Na Tian Zuyan now? ”

"Your Majesty, waiting outside the palace."

"Xiao Qi, pass him to see me."

I am also quite interested in Tian Zuiyan, a candidate actually gave up the palace examination after the middle school, and would rather spend five years to study the world, which is not something that ordinary scholars can do.

After Xiao Qi left, Wen Tianxiang continued: "After the minister returned to Jishou County, he immediately interrogated Wang Kang, the magistrate, according to Wang Kang's confession, he was instructed by the Jinghu Road official to handle the case in Zhenxi Village, and the five hundred taels of silver were also collected for the official. So, the minister summoned the official to summon the official to come and confront him, but he didn't expect to be able to find him everywhere, and the official had disappeared. According to one of the officials, after noon the official said that he would go to the city to see the people's feelings, but he never returned. The minister felt that something was wrong, so he sent people to look around, and on the other hand, he sent people to the Jinghu Road Administration to inquire about this person's situation. ”

"This official should have something to do with the masked man, otherwise he wouldn't care about this big thing in Zhenxi Village. Song Rui, let the Criminal Department issue a document, this person is wanted. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Song Rui, what about later?"

"Your Majesty, later the minister asked Li Lin, the county magistrate of Jishou County, to temporarily exercise the right to know the county, and ordered the governor of Chenzhou Prefecture to investigate Wang Kang in detail, and at the same time asked the county governor Li Lin to discuss with the villagers of Zhenxi Village to see if it was possible to introduce the stream water near the dwarf village into the village under the premise that it was impossible to dig a second well."

"This is very good, only by completely solving the water source problem in Zhenxi Village can the villagers live in peace."

That's what he thought at the time. After three days, Wen Zhang's injuries gradually healed, and the ministers left Xiangxi to return to Lin'an. ”

When Wen Tianxiang finished speaking, Xiao Qi led Tian Zuiyan into the imperial study.

"The grass people are drunk and knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Flat, no courtesy."

"Your Majesty."

"Tian Zuiyan, sit down."

"Huh?" Tian Zuiyan looked a little nervous, and he didn't react for a while.

Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "Drunken face, the emperor gave me a seat, and I am not grateful." ”

Tian Zuiyan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank the emperor for giving him a seat." ”

"Well, Tian Zuiyan, I heard Song Rui say that you have been studying abroad for five years, how did you have this idea?"

Tian Zuiyan hurriedly got up again and said: "Back to the emperor, the grass people have been familiar with the scriptures and history since childhood, and they think that the reason why the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were able to form a situation where hundreds of schools of thought could be formed was related to the prevailing style of study tours at that time. Study tours can be uncommon and well-informed. The grass people remember the "Historical Records. There is a way in the biography of Shen Jun, the prosperity of miscellaneous families, and one of the great changes in real academics, which can only be caused by a study tour, so the study tour is really beneficial to academics. ”

"Tian Zuiyan, sit down and talk back." I held out my hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Your Majesty."

"You're right. I also think that the benefits of study tours are very many, and the benefits of study tours are not as good as young children, and cousins are not as good as relatives. Duke Wen of Jin was away for nineteen years, traversing the princes, returning to the country and hegemonizing. King Wuling of Zhao served You Qin and returned to the country and became strong. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the most popular study tours, such as Zengzi and Zuo Qiu Ming, such as Wu Qi and Le Yangzi, all of them were heard by study tours. The rest of the strategists are miscellaneous, and they can't be listed all. "I borrowed Zhang Zhidong's "Persuasion" in the Qing Dynasty.

Tian Zuiyan was slightly surprised when he heard this: "The emperor is sage, what the emperor said is in line with the way of studying abroad." ”

I smiled and said, "The poet Lu You of this dynasty once wrote that the paper is shallow in the end, and I never know that I have to bow to it. No matter how good the knowledge in the books is, it is dead, only through personal experience, can we truly understand the truth in the books, and only those who live and learn can avoid working behind closed doors, and can achieve the road without losing bias. ”

"The emperor has a high opinion, there are rights and wrongs in the records in the books, and it is true that only through experience can we understand their authenticity."

"Well, any theory must be tested before it can be called truth, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Tian Zuiyan heard a lot of deeds about me on the road, and when he heard my own words, he was even more impressed, and said respectfully: "The emperor's words are extremely true, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and it is incisive. ”

"Song Rui, you also need to keep this in mind. In the course of later behavior, we should not simply regard theory as a dogma, nor should we regard books as classics, because both bookism and empiricism will make people narrow and thus unable to look at problems in a comprehensive and rational way. This is the so-called need for books, not bookism, and to accumulate experience, but not empiricism. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers are also taught."

I took a sip of tea, took out a map and spread it on the table and said, "Tian Zuiyan, here is a map of my court, you can take a look, where have you been?" Song Rui, Lan Yu, Wen Zhang, you also take a look at the new map I have drawn. ”

Wen Tianxiang looked at the place names on the map and asked, "Your Majesty is going to change the region to a provincial system?" ”

"Well, the Mongols are already changing, and I think it's time too."

Wen Zhang sighed: "Your Majesty, the range marked on this map is much larger than that of my current dynasty. ”

Tian Zuiyan didn't know what the provincial system was, and he didn't dare to ask, so he pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, the places where the grass people study are all south of the river, east to the seaside of Fujian Road, west to Chengdu Fu Road, and as far south as Jiaozhi County (now Vietnam). ”

"Yes, almost all areas of the Jiangnan region where I am currently heading towards the south of the Yangtze River are covered."

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, the northern army has been in turmoil, and the grass people have not dared to cross the river to the north, which is really a pity."

"North? There will be a chance. I stretched out my hand and pointed to the north and said to Wen Zhang, "Wen Zhang, this is the Great Song Dynasty territory that I planned, and it depends on your soldiers whether it can be realized." ”

Wen Zhang smiled, his eyes were firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, wherever you point, the minister will hit." ”

"Good!"

I praised Wen Zhang, and continued to ask Tian Zuiyan: "Tian Zuiyan, how do you feel about traveling the world to study?" ”

Seeing that I was kind, Tian Zuiyan gradually let go, and after sitting down, he briefly told me about his experience. Tian Zuiyan's thinking is clear, the importance is clear, and he is vivid and easy to understand when he tells it.

"It's worthy of being a person." I secretly praised.

"Anything else?" Wen Zhang wanted to continue listening after listening to it.

For me, Tian Zuiyan's experience is nothing more than that, and people in later generations can see the whole world as long as they browse the Internet for a while. It's different for Wen Zhang, it's the age of curiosity, plus most of the time he follows the Taoist master to practice martial arts, and after he arrives in the capital, he trains young guards every day, except for going out with me, where do I know so many things in the world, I just listen to it with relish.

Tian Zuiyan smiled and said, "Brother Wenzhang, I'll talk to you in detail when I have time." ”

"Brother Zuiyan, then it's decided."

Wen Tianxiang said softly: "Wen Zhang, don't mess around. ”

"It doesn't matter, Wen Zhang is still a child after all." I smiled dumbly, "Tian Zuiyan, do you have any notes when you travel the world?" ”

"Back to the emperor, everywhere the grass people go, they will record the local customs, mountains and rivers." Tian Zuiyan didn't know why I had this question.

"Yes, that's good. Tian Zuiyan, you can write down your experience in detail, so that the world can understand the great rivers and mountains of our dynasty. ”

"Yes, the grass people obey the order, and the grass people also have this intention."

"This book is called "Tian Zuiyan's Travels", and I will write a preface to you when the time comes."

Tian Zuiyan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you to the emperor for the name." ”

Can the famous "Xu Xiake's Travels" be replaced by "Tian Zuiyan's Travels"? Although Tian Zuiyan is not as professional as Xu Xiake, after all, it is more than 300 years earlier.

"Okay, Tian Zuiyan, let's talk about your Miao family."
