At the Jingshi Railway Station, a brocade guard hurriedly got off the train and went straight to Fusi in Beizhen.

"Commander Qiyu, the traces of Guan Bai of the Wa Kingdom have been found!"

Yuan Bin raised his eyelids and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"I landed in Quanzhou five days ago, and went to Donglin Academy in Wuxi the next day."

"Donglin Academy?"

Yuan Bin felt that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "What did he do when he went to Donglin Academy?" ”

"Back to the commander, a good teacher has studied Confucian classics since childhood, and has close contact with the scholars in Jiangnan, and this time he went to Donglin College at the invitation of the great Confucian Sun Changhe to give a lecture."

"How unreasonable!"

Yuan Bin had a gloomy face and said: "This person was summoned by the emperor, and he should enter Beijing immediately after landing on the shore, but now he is running to fool around with the people of Donglin Academy, I really don't know what to do!" ”

After thinking about it, I felt that this matter was more serious than I imagined, so I still told the emperor.

"Keep probing and keep an eye on me!"

After explaining, Yuan Bin hurriedly entered the palace and told the whereabouts of a good man in detail.

Zhu Qizhen still looked disapproving, and said: "Let him toss, don't pay attention." ”

"But...... The minister is worried about ......"

Seeing Yuan Bin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "If you have something to say, when did you learn a stinky problem with those civil officials?" ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "The minister is worried about people with ulterior motives, and he uses a good article to create momentum. ”

"How do you build momentum?"

"Donglin Academy is still hyping up traditional Confucianism, especially extremely opposed to the new imperial examination, they heard that a good and good study of Confucianism, so they strongly admired, the meaning behind it is that even the Japanese people respect the knowledge, but I don't pay attention to it, this is not clearly scolding the emperor you?"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head lightly and said, "They are willing to study the Four Books and Five Classics, that is their business, not to mention that the subjects of literature and history are still retained in the imperial examination, let them toss, I don't bother to pay attention to it." ”

Yuan Bin was still worried, and said, "Chen is worried that these people are secretly doing things. ”

"It's easier to get things done!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "Jinyiwei stared people to death, if anyone dares to do something out of line, they should be caught, and they should be killed!" ”

"Obey the order!"

——

Ten days later, Ichijo Kaneliang finally arrived in Kyoto.

There are strict etiquette rules for the envoys of Fanguo, and Honglu Temple discussed for a long time, and finally gave him a reception according to the standard of the prince of the Wa Kingdom.

Originally, the Wa Kingdom learned from the Ming Dynasty to engage in the divine grant of monarchy, and gave his supreme ruler the identity of a descendant of Amaterasu, and also gave him a lofty name, called the Emperor, even if he was called the Jade Emperor, in the Ming Dynasty was just a vassal king standard, Guan Bai could only go down to the next level.

After Ichijo Kaneliang lived in Honglu Temple, he waited for the emperor to summon him, but he was very interested in Han culture, and he went to the street every day when he had nothing to do, and he felt fresh when he saw everything.

When he was a teenager, he crossed the ocean and came to Daming to study, and what he saw and heard was deeply touched, but this time he revisited the old place, and the earth-shaking changes directly shocked his jaw.

When I set out from Wajima, I was first shocked by the steamship.

However, before he could understand it, he found that there were seven or eight such ships moored in Quanzhou Port, and even larger ones, and when he looked closely, it looked like an island.

After landing, you will be overwhelmed by the flat asphalt roads, bustling streets, and all kinds of bizarre gadgets.

The most shocking thing is the steam train, this thing has been heard for a long time, but he has always thought it is just a rumor, and when he sits in, he feels bad.

If this thing can be brought back to the Wa Kingdom......

Ichijo Kaneliang was very annoyed, why didn't he come earlier!

In contrast, the trip to Donglin Academy seemed very boring.

Or the Four Books and Five Classics, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, what's the use?

Can you build a train?

Can a ship be built?

If it weren't for the sake of face, he would have left a long time ago, but his old friend Sun Changhe was warmly invited, and he saw that Donglin College had gathered hundreds of students, which was an opportunity to make contacts, which delayed some time.

——

The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Yi was working, someone came to report, and Yang Shan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, asked to see him.

"Please!"

Zhang Yi hurriedly put down the official document in his hand and got up to greet him in person.

If you talk about the official position, the official position of Honglu Temple Qing naturally cannot be compared with the official position of the Ministry of Rites, but Yang Shannai is an old minister in the first year of Yongle, and now he is seventy-two years old, a full generation older than Zhang Yi, and he came to the Ministry of Rites in person today, I don't know what happened.

"Zhang Butang, the old man is polite!"

"Yang Siqing, why do you need to go on a trip in person?"

Zhang Yi gave Yang Shan to his seat and ordered someone to make tea.

Yang Shan thanked him, and then said, "Zhang Butang, do you know that there have been Japanese envoys to Beijing recently?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I heard that the country is good and good." ”

"This man...... It's a hassle! ”

"Could it be that the envoy doesn't understand the rules and causes some kind of trouble?"

"Not really, it's just ......"

Yang Shan sighed and said, "It's just that this Guan Bai likes to ask people for advice and learn everywhere, and he is a little arrogant when he speaks. ”

"What did he say?"

"I said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not read the classics of the sages, but went to engage in those strange tricks and tricks, and said that I only know the subsections, not the general outline...... In short, it's not a good word. ”

Zhang Yi sensed that something was wrong with the situation, so he asked, "Who does this person talk to on weekdays?" ”

"They are all students from Jiangsu...... By the way, there is a man named Sun Changhe, who is known as a great Confucian in the local area, and this person also restored the Donglin Academy in the Song Dynasty, and many students from all over the country went to the academy to listen to his lectures. ”

"Donglin Academy, Sun Changhe?"

Zhang Yi frowned suddenly, he had personally experienced the coup d'état, and he knew very well the emperor's attitude towards the traditional scholars.

To sum it up, it's just one sentence, either me or die!

Recently, Donglin Academy has been in an uproar, and there is a tendency to confront the imperial court, which is not a good signal.

The emperor didn't move them because these people hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.

Otherwise, even if they have 10,000 heads, they will not be enough to cut off.

Think about how many people he secretly colluded with, how many officials were involved, and the support of the entire Jiangnan Shi clan when Sanyang carried out the coup, what happened in the end?

He was very sure that if Donglin Academy really did something, it would only take one night to be wiped out.

"These people have come to Jingshi?"

Yang Shan nodded and said, "It's here, and it's quite a lot!" ”

Zhang Yi asked again, "When did you arrive?" ”

Yang Shan thought for a while and replied: "Just after the arrival of Guan Bai in Beijing, the train is very convenient now, coming from Wuxi, but it is only a day and a night. ”
