From the assembly of troops and horses of various units to the official battle, it takes a month to prepare.

Hu Guangjun took Xiao Zhiyan as the main general and Jin Shenghuan as the deputy. The Huaiyang Army took Feng Qin as the main general and Li Zhian as the deputy. Li Laiheng's army was entrenched around Chaohu Lake for a year and a half, and the battles of all sizes never stopped.

The Ming army is in three directions, and this year there is no posture of opening the regent to conquer the prince like last year, but the pressure on the Qing court is greater, as if it has the tendency to sweep the world.

The general trend has been achieved, and the Ming Dynasty is the desire of the people. Just like when the Manchu Qing Dynasty led the army into the customs, they won half of the Ming Dynasty in just one year. If it's not a shave......

"If I hadn't shaved I'd been on an island."

A deep voice came from the garden, accompanied by a few laughs. In spring and summer, he should often go out for a walk, and staying in the Regent's Mansion all year round will make Zhai Zhe feel like he is in a cage.

Sitting in the position of holding the power of the world, he has never seen himself any different from before.

There were three people sitting in front of him, three celebrities of the Donglin Party.

Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi can talk and joke with him casually, only Huang Zongxi looks like a serious old pedant. Perhaps, it is because Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi have had a friend-like experience with him. As long as you know how to advance and retreat, and are not pampered and arrogant, the experience of sharing hardships is a kind of capital.

Chen Zilong laughed twice and stopped, the regent and Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi suddenly came to visit Songjiang Mansion, and he couldn't figure out what Zhai Zhe's purpose was. In the past six months, he has not gone out of the door of the house, and he has not stepped out of the second door, so he should not have violated the taboo of the imperial court.

Zhai Zhe's words are very sincere, and he does not praise his own merits, saying that this is a very casual party.

Fang Yizhi said: "The prince's words are wrong, Dolgon does not forcibly push the shaving order, the current situation may be more difficult, but the prince is destined to turn the tide." ”

Huang Zongxi let out an inaudible snort. Will Fang Yizhi be so snobbish?

Among the three, only Fang Yizhi once served in Zhai Zhe's army and knew many secrets. When the Zhedong Army captured Hangzhou in one fell swoop, it shocked the world, but how many people knew that Ji Hong had been in Hangzhou a few years ago?

The prince seemed to be waiting for that qiē to have this idea more than once in Shengfang Yizhi.

Jiangnan squires love to buy gardens, and Chen Zilong is no exception. Zhai Zhe looked around, the Chen family garden is not big, but it is very exquisite, and the most arranged plants on both sides of the fist-sized stone-paved path are the three friends of the year.

Spring and summer should be the season of lush flowers, and this garden is only lush and does not smell the fragrance of flowers. People are determined by things. Chen Zilong has really reached this realm, or is he using Songzhu Mei as a metaphor?

Humility first, then praise.

Zhai Zhe said: "The books compiled by the three of you are all in my library, although I don't have time to read them seriously, but many of them make me deafening." ”

Hearing the regent's words, Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi all felt complacent. What the literati ask for is nothing more than two things. The primary ** is the title of the gold list, and the fate is changed by the name of merit; The higher pursuit is to write books and speak and leave a name for eternity. All three of them have gotten rid of the first realm.

Chen Zilong was older, and said modestly for the two of them: "The prince praised it falsely. ”

Zhai Zhe asked: "I have produced countless sages since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, do the three of you know who I admire the most?" He chuckled, did not deliberately leave suspense, and asked himself: "The three of you must think that I respect Mr. Yangming, but the one I admire the most is Xu Guangqi." ”

Chen Zilong lowered his head and hid the change in expression on his face. Xu Guangqi was known for his learning from East to West, and was often accompanied by Western missionaries. Although he didn't have the opportunity to worship under Xu Guangqi, he always took Xu Guangqi as his teacher in his heart.

Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi also had their own thoughts. There are many famous Confucians in Suzhou College, but Fang Yizhi is the only one who is proficient in Western studies and interested in Western studies. In recent years, Fang Yizhi has learned more and more about Western studies, and slowly abandoned the mentality of despising Western studies in the past.

Zhai Zhe continued: "Xu Gebu is really the first person in my Ming Dynasty to open up the spiritual legacy of Mr. Yang Ming, but it has been passed down to this day, and it has long been used to draw tiger dogs. ”

He was a military general, and he talked about the scriptures with the three great Confucians of the current dynasty, and he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by some scholars again.

But in the eyes of connoisseurs, there is no narrow view of the door. These words resonated with Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi.

Chen Zilong was reluctant to go out of office, and spent three years at home sorting out the manuscript of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" left by Xu Guangqi, leading several societies to open the door to the application of doctrine to the world. He said in a low voice: "What the prince said is extremely true"

Zhai Zhe sighed: "It has been two months since the end of the imperial court's scientific examination this year, and there are only a few people who can be used by the imperial court. ”

His status today, every word is not said casually. Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi were all shocked in their hearts, is the regent going to change the imperial examination system?

The three of them don't agree with the eight shares either. However, the impact of the imperial court to change the scientific examination will be no less than the shaving order, because it is related to the future and fate of the world's scholars.

Fang Yizhi said: "Although the prince is narrow-minded, it is not without merit. ”

Zhai Zhe's heart sank, would even Fang Yizhi oppose it? Every reform is aimed at striking at a stratum of interests and creating a stratum of interests. If these three people do not agree, forcibly changing the scientific examination system will only achieve half the result.

Huang Zongxi, who had been very cramped today, suddenly interjected and said: "This is a mistake, the eight shares can indeed select the most outstanding scholars, but the disadvantages caused by it have been Ming for a long time. For example, today's scholar is poor and Jinghao is dedicated to the eight shares, if he is in the middle, he will jump the dragon gate with a carp, and if he is not in the middle, he will be mediocre. The disadvantages of the eight shares are not in the court, but in the countryside. ”

The more Zhai Zhe listened, the more surprised he became, and his originally crooked body slowly sat upright. Huang Zongxi's deep analysis of the current situation impressed him. He asked, "Brother Taichong, is there a good plan?" ”

"Yes, the eight shares are abolished, and the classification will be unlearned, such as calendrical calculations, music rhythms, surveying, astrology, firearms, water conservancy, etc., villagers, and scholars can be officials to prevent the family from generation to generation."

Zhai Zhe was overjoyed in his heart, but he was noncommittal, and his eyes turned to Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi.

Chen Zilong suddenly realized that the regent came to visit for this matter

The imperial court wants to change the imperial examination system, which is related to the fate of the world's scholars, and the resistance to forcibly implement it is too great, and the regent just wants to use the prestige of the three of them.

Huang Zongxi has never been an official in the court, so he doesn't understand the sinister nature of the court, so he can say whatever he thinks in his heart. Whoever comes out in this matter will become the opponent of the world's scholars, and will be spurned even more by people than the eunuchs.

If you do evil, you will definitely be rewarded. But although Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi do not say that they regard fame as dung, they will not do things that violate their conscience for the sake of power.

Chen Zilong shook his head secretly, Huang Zongxi was not enthusiastic about fame and fortune, his temperament was a bit like the Fujian Confucian Huang Daozhou who was abandoned by the regent, and he was not suitable for being an official in the imperial court.

Zhai Zhe said with a smile: "Since the three of them already know the evil of the eight shares, why don't they arrest the text to tell the world, this is the blessing of all the people." ”
