Just as Yu Ren was thinking about these questions that made him begin to be confused, a middle-aged man in a staff uniform walked up to the stage. The man was a little chubby and had a loud voice. As soon as he took the stage, the originally noisy voices in the audience gradually stopped.

The middle-aged man stood quietly on the stage for about half a minute before the audience was completely quiet. Only then did he show a smile and say to everyone, "I'm glad that all the ministers can come to the shop." I know that you are not here today to drink tea, but to listen to Mr. Qian's lecture on 'applying the knowledge to the world'. It's a pity that when Mr. Qian arrived at Jiaxing Mansion, he suddenly received an urgent message from the DPRK and China, and had to rush back to Beijing in the starry night. ”

When the middle-aged man said this, the audience was immediately in an uproar.

The middle-aged man shouted loudly to silence the audience, but the effect was not obvious. In the end, the middle-aged man had to raise his voice and said, "Although Mr. Qian has returned to Beijing, Mr. Qian's most proud disciples, and also our first talents in Nanjing, Yang Ju and Yang Zhiyong, came to us on behalf of Mr. Qian.

Now, let's invite our Mr. Zhiyong to the stage. ”

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man in his twenties and five-fifths walked up from the audience. This person is very short, only about one meter six, and the appearance on his face is even more flattering, and he sees that in the center of his face, there is a huge round nose, like a meat grape growing on it, and the eyes on the nose are extremely small, so that under the background of his big nose, many people who see him at first glance feel that they can't find his eyes. However, although the facial features are not very qualified, the face is still fair, which is in line with the most basic one of the little white faces of readers.

As soon as Yang Ju came to the stage, he bowed deeply to the audience without speaking.

Most of these scholars in the audience had heard of Yang Ju's name. He is known as the first genius in Nanjing, and he is also a popular figure in the top prize of the palace examination next year, so it can be said that among the scholars today, there are really not many people who have not heard of his name.

When the scholars in the audience saw Yang Juchang's appearance of not being treated by God, many people felt disappointed, and some felt sorry for him. At the same time, many people raised their contempt for Yang. Whispers began to begin to arise below.

This Yang Ju did not urge everyone to be quiet, nor did he blame everyone. He just stood, very seriously, and then scanned everyone in the audience with a pair of small, but very tax-friendly eyes.

His eyes were like a sharp knife, and everyone who was swept by him couldn't help but feel a screen in his heart, and his mouth naturally stopped, and then sat up straight and looked at the front of the stage.

Yang Ju's eyes swept over the audience, and the audience also fell silent. He took two steps forward and cleared the noise, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Qian had to rush back to Beijing in the starry night because of something temporary in the court." Today's lesson, which was originally taught by Mr. Qian, can only be explained by me. ”

After speaking, Yang Ju bowed to everyone again, and then said slowly.

"The sage said in the Book of Changes: 'Prepare things for use, and set up tools for the benefit of the world, which is great for the saint.'" When we read the books of the saints today, I think we should first consider this fundamental question: why do we read books, and what do we read them for? Is it just for the sake of Kechang High School, and then throw the books aside? ……”

When Yang Jucai said this, a person in the front row stood up and shouted to Yang Ju, "Yang Caizi." We are here today to listen to Mr. Qian's lecture, since Mr. Qian did not come because he had something to do. Anyway, you have to explain a few words to us! There are so many of us, and many of our friends still came from other places or even other provinces on purpose, and just one sentence of 'there is something going on in the court' sent us? This is inevitably too unserious for us! ”

Yang Ju glanced at the man, pondered for a while, and did not speak.

At this moment, the person who had just spoken, and the person next to him stood up again. "Yang Caizi doesn't want to say, isn't it your Donglin Party that is going to do something unseemly! Back then, our Shen Ge Lao was summoned by the emperor, and your Donglin Party secretly spread rumors and framed Shen Ge Lao. So that Shen Ge Lao could not live in seclusion, and finally achieved the ulterior purpose of your Donglin Party members.

This time, I don't know what kind of conspiracy Mr. Qian is going to come up with? ”

When Yang Ju heard this, his face became difficult to look at for a while, but he was extremely deep in the city, and he knew that he would never be able to attack at this time. If you can't control your emotions and argue with these people, you will fall into the hands of these people. Regarding what this person said, Yang Ju has also heard about this section of Shen Zheng's public case.

Speaking of this Shen Zheng, he is the founder of the Zhejiang Party and one of the most important ministers of the Wanli Dynasty. At that time, he was in the cabinet for 13 years, including four years as the first assistant. In these thirteen years, it was also the most eventful period in the political arena of the Wanli Dynasty, and many famous ministers fell in these political storms. However, Shen has always not fallen, but has won more trust from Emperor Wanli.

It was during his tenure as the first assistant that the Zhejiang Party achieved maximum development in the DPRK, and it can be said that it was necessary to win the wind and rain, and Shen himself was also proud of the spring breeze in politics and became the emperor's most trusted minister.

However, I did not expect that in the 33rd year of Wanli's Jingcha, the Zhejiang Party was squeezed out by the Donglin Party who presided over Jingcha at that time. Shen has always been the first assistant at that time, so he naturally couldn't see his subordinates being squeezed out by the Donglin people and not save them, so he wrote to the emperor and said that this time Jingcha was unfair.

In the end, although the Donglin Party who presided over the Jingcha was dismissed, the matter was made a big fuss. Shen Cheng also set himself on fire because of this, and finally this fire finally burned Shen Yiyi's body. Under the cross-attack of a group of imperial historians, Shen Cheng finally failed to withstand the pressure, and soon returned to his hometown.

Although the emperor approved it at that time. But within a few years, the emperor encountered troubles, and he remembered this amiable old man Shen again, so he secretly sent someone to Shen Yiyi, who had been farming and studying in seclusion in his hometown, to ask for advice.

Shen has always been very enthusiastic, he not only seriously answered the emperor's questions, actively gave him advice, but also faintly expressed his willingness to go out of the mountain again.

However, what is unexpected is that Shen Zheng's reply to the emperor has not been delivered to the emperor for some reason, but it has first spread among the people. Everyone then said that Shen has always been a hypocrite, obviously wanting to be an official, but he still pretends to be reserved and pretends to resign from an official. Now he is quietly flattering the emperor and wants to be reinstated. There are also some things that are even more difficult to hear, saying that Shen has always called: I want to be a **, but also to set up a memorial arch.

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Shen no longer had the face to go out of the mountain, and he really became a hermit from then on. Even the letters sent by the emperor to their homes several times, he did not read, did not receive, and did not reply.

In hindsight, everyone naturally thinks that the key to this matter is the letter. According to later legends, especially the Zhejiang party. said yes, Shen Zheng's letter was stolen by Li Sancai, an important figure in the Donglin Party, and then tampered with the content and spread among the people.

According to them, the family member whom Shen had always sent to deliver the letter had been invited to stay at Li Sancai's house for the night on the way. The reason is that this Li Sancai was Shen's protégé back then, so he was familiar with this family member of the Shen family.

This matter had a wide impact back then, and it had only been six or seven years, so Yang Ju had naturally heard about it. However, both sides did not do this very glorious, and he naturally did not explain it well, and he could not explain it. Therefore, the smart Yang Caizi chose to be silent

Yang Ju was silent, but these people from Wansong Academy didn't intend to let him go like this.

"Why didn't Yang Caizi speak? Tell us about it! Let us also see the methods of your Donglin Party to play conspiracy. Perhaps, because we admire your superb methods of stealing chickens and dogs, we will all throw ourselves under the door of your Donglin Party! ”

Although this person's words are sour, Yang Ju on the stage is very capable of pretending to be stupid. was so ostracized, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all. Seeing him with one hand on his cheek and his eyes looking down, he looked pensive, as if he was thinking about the other party's words, and it seemed that he didn't hear the other party's words at all. Yu Ren couldn't help but secretly admire, he thought that he had the thickest skin in the world, it seems that compared with this Yang Dacai, his skills are really a lot worse.
