Chapter 34: Yan Shi
The momentum of the Yingtianfu Mansion and the Jiangning County Ya is completely different, the most typical difference is that the sergeants guarding outside the Yamen of the Yingtianfu Mansion are waiting for the Yamen, and the outside of the County Ya is waiting for the Yamen, sometimes you can still see the Ya Officers talking and laughing, but the sergeants waiting outside the Ying Tianfu Mansion are always dark and strict, and there will never be a smile on their faces, standing straight and not squinting.
From the county government to the government office, although the distance is not very far, Zheng Xunrui can fully see the majesty of power.
After handing over the letter, Zheng Xunrui waited patiently outside, he looked carefully at the notices around Xuanhuafang, and also noticed the list lined up, his name is very conspicuous, after all, on a list, only his own name, the others are dense, at least the names of five people.
Soon, the warden of the ceremonial room came out, a middle-aged man who looked a little thin.
The warden took Zheng Xunrui and entered the palace, when he passed through the Yongdao, seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Xunrui handed over the letter, and after the warden took the letter, he weighed it in his hand, and naturally put it into his arms, the momentum of the body changed subtly, and the words became more, mainly talking about some habits of Lord Yin and so on, such as profound knowledge, majestic appearance, etc.
Of course, these words are to remind Zheng Xunrui that when he sees Lord Fu Yin, he must pay more attention, if he leaves a bad impression because of his bad words, it will definitely be detrimental to his future.
Zheng Xunrui didn't think of it so much, he thought of a sentence: The king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, whether it is the county government or the government office, or even the governor yamen, those who are officials are not so difficult to deal with, the problem lies in the officials and officials below, these people have been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, and they have long been familiar with the doorway inside, they can pull the tiger skin and pull the banner, and give full play to the majesty of the yamen to the limit, so as to reap the benefits.
is also waiting in the wing, but the messenger specially made tea for Zheng Xunrui, which was of course ordered by the warden.
Zheng Xunrui sat in the wing room and waited patiently, Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin is a member of the court of Zheng Sanpin, the majesty is naturally very high, if the people who come to meet will be able to meet soon, isn't it a little cheap, even if it is not a big deal, let the people come to wait in the wing room for a while.
In just a quarter of an hour, the warden came over to inform Zheng Xunrui to go to the second hall.
Zheng Xunrui was a little surprised, it seems that his judgment this time was wrong, Liu Zongzhou is not the kind of official he imagined, which may also indicate that this visit is not so easy to fool.
Zheng Xunrui's palms were sweating, for this visit, he thought seriously for most of the day and made sufficient preparations, but he was prepared with the normalcy of officialdom, and it seemed that there might be some changes.
The warden took Zheng Xunrui to the door of the second hall, whispered to Zheng Xunrui, and went in directly. The warden's words made Zheng Xunrui's pressure even heavier, what kind of character is this Liu Zongzhou, can it be said that outsiders don't need to say a word when they come to visit.
After tidying up his clothes a little and tidying up his feelings by the way, Zheng Xunrui slowly walked up the steps and walked towards the second hall.
Liu Zongzhou sat in the second hall, but fortunately he didn't sit in the place where the case was being heard, he had already seen Zheng Xunrui who walked in slowly.
During the government exam, because there were too many people, it was impossible for Liu Zongzhou to pay special attention to Zheng Xunrui, but he was shocked that this young man had completed the article prematurely.
Seeing Zheng Xunrui at this moment, Liu Zongzhou felt very shocked.
A young gifted student, when he came to the incomparably majestic mansion, it is said that he was a little nervous, and even trembled, these are very normal expressions, Liu Zongzhou once saw some children of official eunuchs, when they came to the mansion, they all showed that they were nervous, but this Zheng Xunrui couldn't see the nervousness, and his every move was very free, and even implied this momentum that was neither arrogant nor humble.
Zheng Xunrui is only fifteen years old, how to have such a bearing, there is a good saying, for the way of the general, the first to cure the heart, Mount Tai collapsed in front of the color unchanged, the elk is on the left and the eyes are not instantaneous. With such a bearing, it needs to be tempered by thousands of tempers, or it has gone through ups and downs, stormy waves, and it is impossible for Zheng Xunrui to have these experiences.
"The student, Zheng Xunrui, Guli Town, Jiangning County, has a clear word and meets his teacher."
"Well, how do you feel when you come to the mansion."
"The majesty of the government is not that students dare to speculate without permission, and the students made a special trip to meet the teacher today to thank the teacher for his support, and the rest have no other intentions."
Liu Zongzhou's eyes widened, this Zheng Xunrui seems to have some personality, and he is very good at changing the topic.
"When ordinary people come to the government, they are all trembling, walking on thin ice, even if they are many students, they have entered the government several times, each time they are in awe, or trembling, or timid, this government does not know why you can be so light."
Liu Zongzhou directly asked the question, and the first thing he asked was not about Shen Du, nor about knowledge, but he chose such a topic, which Zheng Xunrui could not have imagined anyway.
When a question arises, it must be answered head-on.
"The students are not nervous, but they have not come out, the students have read many poems, and they have been deeply touched by the two poems of Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty and Dongpo monks in the Song Dynasty.
"And Dongpo Layman's "Fixing the Storm": Bamboo canes and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid, a cloud of smoke and rain Ren Pingsheng, looking back at the bleak place, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine."
"The students worship Li Taibai and Dongpo monks, and hope to understand the state of mind of the two from their poems, and the students know that they cannot compare with the two saints, and can only pursue their artistic conception."
"The student's thoughts were asked by the teacher today, and I am sincerely afraid, if the student's move is inappropriate, the teacher will give advice."
Liu Zongzhou was choked for a long time before he spoke.
"Qingyang, Li Bai and Su Shi, that is the immortal writer, where do you dare to evaluate casually, if you learn their artistic conception, that is the pursuit of the world's scholars, why not, this house is still strange, it should be said that it is amazing, you are young, you can get a lot of insights from the poetry of the sages, you are not surprised, it is very rare, no matter what, this house believes your explanation."
Zheng Xunrui also had no choice, but he had already felt it, and this visit would definitely not be easy.
This can't be blamed on Liu Zongzhou, a fifteen-year-old boy, who has come out with too many surprising things, but less than a year ago, this teenager was still synonymous with gentleness, and no one looked down on it, so he knew that there was such a big change all of a sudden, and his bearing was extraordinary, and it was strange to be anyone.
Fortunately, during the Chongzhen period, the information was not very developed, and some things could be explained by fantasy truths, if it was placed in a few hundred years, I don't know how many suspicions and even attacks appeared on the Internet.
A slight smile appeared on Liu Zongzhou's face, and he pointed to the chair not far away.
"The ceremony of the visit has ended, and then the house wants to talk to you, although you are still young, but the impression on the house is very deep, I read the article of your house exam, the house has a feeling of enlightenment, today regardless of the invitation of teachers and students, you and I have a good discussion of knowledge, how."
Zheng Xunrui secretly complained, Liu Zongzhou is a great Confucian after all, those studies are studied by himself, he has unusual opinions, he is just a traverser, relying on the knowledge of the Department of History and the Department of Chinese, he can dominate in this era, really when it comes to his own opinions, there is a gap, which is like the difference between politicians and politicians.
But at this point, he can only deal with it, after all, he has enough experience and a historical origin, and he can still barely cope with a conversation.
Zheng Xunrui's mind is full of Liu Zongzhou's views on Shendu, although he does not particularly agree with Shendu's views, but also have to admire Liu Zongzhou's profound knowledge, it should be said that Shendu's theory has its uniqueness, for improving personal cultivation, it is of great benefit, readers can really calm down, a good understanding of Shendu's theory, will undoubtedly enhance their own self-cultivation, and will have a deeper understanding of the world.
However, the theory of prudence and independence is combined with the governance of the country, which is still a little incomplete, Liu Zongzhou to the emperor's recital, most of them are talking about prudence and independence, which roughly means that the emperor can be cautious, can require many civil and military ministers to also be cautious, then the world will be under great rule, you must know that during the Chongzhen period, the rule of officials was corrupted, the party struggled continuously, there were disasters and famines, there were peasant rebels inside, and there was the threat of Houjin outside. What is needed is a talent who can stabilize the overall situation and save the edifice from falling.
To describe it in clearer words, that is, the relationship between treating the symptoms and treating the root cause, what the emperor and the imperial court need at present is to treat the symptoms, is to stabilize the overall situation, Liu Zongzhou put forward the view of prudence, that is the root cause, the treatment of the symptoms and the root cause are closely related, but also there is a sequential relationship, the first thing is to treat the symptoms, after stabilizing the situation, we can think of the root cause.
In this situation, Liu Zongzhou always told the emperor about the matter of cautious independence, of course, the emperor could not calm down, and it was impossible to adopt Liu Zongzhou's twists and turns and views, which is probably also the tragedy of Liu Zongzhou, and the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty.
As a traverser, Zheng Xunrui did not dare to say that he was fully aware of the problem of the existence of zài in the late Ming Dynasty, nor did he dare to say that all his understandings were correct, but from the perspective of the middle, he was able to calmly look at and analyze all the problems.
