Chapter 14: Conscience
As soon as he entered the school in the morning, Wang Heyao felt a little strange, the students whispered, some shook their heads and sighed, and some were indignant, as if they were talking about a shady thing.
Although Yaojiang Academy has a free style of writing and rarely forbids speech, the Qing Dynasty ruled the Han people with foreign races, and the law under the rule of the imperial court was strict.
I can't see the light, the mouth of the people is more than the Sichuan, once there is crazy words, it will immediately be a slaughter of iron and blood.
There are more than 70 disciples of Yaojiang Academy, I don't know if it is due to the situation, or whether they are admiring the ancient style of the 72 disciples of Confucius, but people's hearts are unpredictable, good and bad, and it is inevitable that there are all kinds of people, such as good and bad.
Shi Biao, the third-generation lecturer of Yaojiang Academy, is the youngest disciple of Shen Guomo, one of the founders of the academy, and the third-generation lecturer of Yaojiang Academy today. Different from the previous lecturer Han Kongdang's open teaching philosophy, Shi Biao strictly forbade the teachers and students of the college to discuss the current situation, so as not to be suspicious of the government and cause trouble.
Yaojiang Academy teaches a great Confucian, the statement is outside, the main lecturer is also a famous scholar in Yuhang, and even the famous Confucian Huang Zongxi at home and abroad also respects him, which also makes Yaojiang Academy famous and famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yaojiang Academy lectured on Wang Yangming's "To Conscience" doctrine, supplemented by the Four Books and Five Classics, students have those who have achieved fame in the examination, and there are also those who are poor in the first place, and the college does not force their personal aspirations, as for whether the students just come to Yaojiang Academy to "gild", the college does not care.
This is in line with the purpose of the college - to teach without class. Students come to the school to study and pay fees, learn the concept of "conscience" of the sages, and the school can operate normally.
After all, donating from all sides is not a long-term solution.
It has to be said that when the natural sciences of the West made great strides, the ancient countries of the East had fallen behind and been abandoned.
"Lao Huang, what's wrong?"
Wang Heyao sat down in his position and asked Huang Junsen softly on the side.
"You don't know yet!"
Huang Junsen leaned over and whispered.
"Hangzhou City, the city full of Tartar soldiers, ruined a woman from a good family. The woman committed suicide, and the family went to the prefect's yamen to file a complaint, but the prefect's yamen did not accept it. The woman's brother went to the governor's yamen again to make trouble, but was lame by the Tartar soldiers and put in prison......"
Wang Heyao was dumbfounded and depressed.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, pacified the world, and built Manchu cities in important cities in the north and south of the great river, which were used to live for banner officers and soldiers, such as Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Jingzhou, Xi'an, and so on. The inner city of the capital was returned to the banner people, and the Han people were all expelled to the outer city.
In the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, because Hangzhou was "an important place for rivers and seas, it was impossible to garrison without heavy troops, and to suppress it with ammunition", the Qing court decided to demarcate the northwest of Hangzhou City, west of Taihu Lake, as the garrison of the Eight Banners. The Hangzhou flag camp garrisoned more than 3,000 people, mainly flag soldiers, can be described as an important military garrison in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, it was the twelfth year of Kangxi, and Jiangnan had only been calm for more than ten years. The incident of the Hangzhou City Banner people committing adultery is only the tip of the iceberg.
"How did this matter get to Yuyao?"
Wang Heyao suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask.
"Li Zhiting, the woman who committed suicide by humiliation is his cousin and his fiancΓ©e. Although his father is the canonical history of Yuhang County, he can't help. β
Wang Heyao couldn't help but be surprised. He turned his head, and sure enough, the stout and tall Li Zhiting sat in his seat, drooping his head and not saying a word.
Wang Heyao secretly thought to himself, this little fat man still has some human feelings.
"I've seen the Speaker!"
Shi Biao stepped in, and the students stood up and saluted together.
"Sit down!"
Shi Biao waved his hand slightly, his eyes turned around the listless Li Zhiting, and began to talk about the class.
The word "conscience" began with Mencius, and those who are able to do what people do not learn are also capable of conscience; He who knows without concern will have a ...... conscience."
Shi Biao was explaining his doubts, and Li Zhiting suddenly stood up, his tall figure was majestic and burly, like a door panel.
"Speaker, you said that everyone has a conscience, so why can the flag people be safe and sound? Does he have a conscience? The officials of Hangzhou City reversed black and white, do they have a conscience? Those soap subordinates, fast arresters, and officials and soldiers in the yamen, they arrest people indiscriminately, do they have a conscience? β
Li Zhiting's angry words surprised Wang Heyao.
This kid is a little fleshy, and he still looks like a man!
"This ......"
Shi Biao hesitated for a moment, and then straightened his face.
"Li Zhiting, this school is not a yamen. Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about political affairs! β
"Master Shi, when you say this, do you have a conscience?"
Li Zhiting did not give up and continued to ask questions.
The students in the hall watched, and Shi Biao couldn't get off the stage, and his face immediately sank.
"Li Zhiting, what are you going to do? If you don't want to attend a class, go out and don't interfere with others! β
"Li Zhiting, don't say it, sit down!"
Jiang Dehu, who was next to Li Zhiting, quickly stood up and wanted to pull Li Zhiting to sit down.
"Am I wrong? The murderer and arsonist are at ease, and the good people have no complaints, what kind of dog's day is this! β
Li Zhiting shook off Jiang Dehu, his face was red.
"Li Zhiting, don't be presumptuous! Get me out! β
Shi Biao immediately changed color and pointed out the door.
"Get out, get out!"
Li Zhiting lifted his bookbag, took the book, and rushed out of the classroom in a rage.
Jiang Dehu was helpless and returned to his place in a huff.
"Tell you, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs, you just don't listen. Yaojiang Academy is a place to do learning, not for you to be presumptuous! If anyone talks about the rights and wrongs outside, get out of the academy immediately! β
Shi Biao talked indignantly, and the students below were silent.
Wang Heyao was furious when he heard this, such a person is also worthy of being a lecturer? When he taught his students like this, wouldn't they all become bloodless and obedient cynics?
In Chinese culture, the spirit of "although tens of millions of people go to me" and "sacrifice their lives for righteousness" have not been wiped out.
Wang Heyao couldn't help but have a seizure.
"Lord, the student was expelled from the school by you just by saying something from his heart, is this the teacher's doing? Isn't it contrary to Mr. Yang Ming's principle of "knowing good and knowing evil"? β
Before Wang Heyao could speak, a tall, thin white-faced student stood up and asked lazily.
The full class of students, including Wang and Yao, looked at the little white face together.
"Shao Tingcai, what are you going to do?"
Shi Biao's face unconsciously turned a little bluer.
"In order to learn from the world, talk about reasoning and put it into practice, and read history to save the world. Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about political affairs, what you and I have learned, what are you like that? β
Shao Tingcai was not slow, and he said another paragraph.
Wang Heyao nodded secretly. This man has some knowledge.
However, the scholar rebelled, and it was not successful for ten years. There is no reading sword, the literati of the Ming and Qing dynasties are just literati, and they are far from the standard of "scholars".
"Shao Tingcai, you...!"
Under the gaze of the full class of students, Shi Biao smiled bitterly and said quietly.
"Shao Tingcai, you are very interested in collecting and commending the martyrs of Song Ming and the restoration of the late Ming Dynasty on weekdays. Don't you know when and where we are? Do you really not know that you will be punished for your words? β
This Shao Tingcai received his career from Han Kongdang, the second-generation speaker of Yaojiang Academy, and studied with Huang Zongxi, a fellow Confucian in China. At the beginning of Kangxi, I tried to travel from Mao Qiling. Reading Liu Zongzhou's "Genealogy" at an early age, he was convinced by Wang Yangming. At the age of 20, he was a county student and failed repeatedly. Shame is the article that should be cited, from Huang Zongxi's question about the chisel degree algorithm, the formation diagram of Dong Ling, and the method of stabbing and attacking, compared with ordinary Jiangnan scholars, it is an alternative.
This person is now twenty-five years old, and his temperament is as fierce as fire, no wonder he did not go well in the imperial examination.
With his character, he has a big mouth, and once he becomes an official, he doesn't know what will happen when he dies.
"The main lecture, scholars should care about national affairs and think about the society and people's livelihood, instead of being poor and poor, and it is useless to talk about false reputations, and it is fundamental to apply what they have learned."
Shao Tingcai bowed, picked up the bookbag, and left flutteringly.
Wang Heyao couldn't help but laugh. This kid will definitely be a poisonous Internet celebrity in the next generation, with countless fans.
A few more students stood up, saluted, and walked out. Wang Heyao muttered secretly, he happened to have a stomachache, should he also stand up.
At this time, the more people who go out, the better, and the more intense the behavior, the better. Arouse people's sense of resistance, national consciousness, and today is an opportunity.
"Dai Youqi, also want to go out?"
Shi Biao looked at this fiery out-of-town student in disbelief, poor and stubborn.
"Speaker, you and I are both Han people, I think I Han have thousands of years of culture, splendid civilization, how can I ever have braids? Why don't you talk about state affairs? Speaking of which, you and I are both people who have died in the country, not only in the country, but also in our thousands of years of Chinese civilization. β
Dai Youqi rolled his strange eyes and talked loudly without mercy.
"Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs! β
Shi Biao was sweating profusely and said urgently, his voice unconsciously getting louder.
"Don't talk about state affairs, it's just a bloody butcher's knife, so what's there to be afraid of? I think there are tens of millions of Han people, but how can I be afraid of millions of slaves? Moral degradation, incorruptibility and shame, it is just the scum of the Han people who defeated the Han people. Everything has been done, what else can not be said! β
In a jaw-dropping and cold sweat, Dai Youqi bowed, picked up the bookbag, raised his head and left with his chest straight.
What a ...... Violent man!
I hope you will still have this temper temper twenty years later!
"Wear ......"
Shi Biao wanted to stop Dai Youqi, but the words were stuck in his throat.
He stopped Dai Youqi, what could he say to the students?
Does he want to argue with Dai Youqi in court and have a teacher-student competition? If you win, you will lose face.
At least, he didn't dare to say what Dai Youqi said.
"Wang ...... Heyao, why are you going out? β
Shi Biao looked at Wang Heyao who stood up in surprise, and lived a good life according to the rules.
"Speaker, I ate the wrong thing, and I was in a hurry. I'm sorry! β
Wang and Yao didn't take their bookbags, and ran out of the school with their stomachs covered, and there was a burst of laughter from behind.
"I don't know what to say!"
Shi Biao said angrily and watched Wang Heyao leave.
"Huang Junsen, you want to go out too?"
A few more students left, and when they saw Huang Junsen also standing up, Shi Biao asked in surprise.
More than a dozen students went out, and his lecture, it can be said that he has no face today.
"Speak, I have anal hemorrhoids, the stool is too hard, the hidden place is too painful, I stand up and move."
Huang Junsen's words made the students in the school laugh again.
"It's insulting, I don't know what to say! You're still a showman! β
Shi Biao's face sank, turned his head, and continued to lecture.
However, today's actions of these students have shocked him greatly.
Especially those who don't say a word on weekdays, and as soon as they open their mouths today, they are shocked.
Thirty years after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, under the butcher's knife, the people with lofty ideals were killed and wounded, and there were few people lying dormant and waiting.
I just don't know, when the butcher knife is swung, there is anyone who can be so impassioned?
