Chapter 25: Future Students

"Brother Lian, I just got the news. The imperial court established the Mingjian Hall," Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty ordered He Xi to take charge, and set up a branch to select disciples from the Guozi Prison, whether it is the prisoner of that hall, you can sign up." ”

"Zining, are you interested?"

Lian Zining said: "Is this serious? ”

Huang Zicheng said: "It really can't be faked. Notices are all posted. ”

Lian Zining said: "I'm naturally interested. I decided to sign up. ”

Huang Zicheng was not as neat as Lian Zining. With some hesitation, he said, "Brother Lian, haven't you heard the rumors?" ”

Lian Zining said: "Naturally, I have heard it. Although I am not as well-informed as you, I am not blind or deaf, and the whole country has spread all over the country. How could I not know? ”

Huang Zicheng said: "They say that He Xi is not a pure Confucian, he is cunning, his knowledge is also too utilitarian, and he is biased towards Yongjia's learning from you, and his knowledge is not pure." And with the support of His Majesty, he was very disrespectful to Old Master Song. The character is also not good. Hello to learn? ”

Song Ne is a respectful and fearful image in the students of Guozijian, although Song Ne is harsh, but he is very close in his studies. In these years, the concept of strict teachers and high apprentices has always existed, and I didn't feel wrong.

Lian Zining said: "Does He Xi have anything to do with me? The sage is to learn, and to benefit many teachers. Moreover, the person who said this has a problem in itself. When you come to Guozijian, do you come for the officials, or do you come for learning? ”

"Coming for an official, then He Xi's way of preaching is all about the use of the world, and saying a taboo word is simply the emperor's southern technique. Learning for the country. Since he is an official, as long as he wants to become an important minister of the court, he must learn. If it's for learning, it's easy. Confucians are ashamed of not knowing. The real Confucianism is not just talking about a few words about the study of the mind, but all kinds of things in the world, which can not be refined. Good to know. Just ask. Do I know this knowledge, but I shouldn't be responsible for it? ”

"What about the future?" Huang Zicheng sighed and said, "I'm not polite, everyone comes to the country, and they all come to the future." This Mingjian Hall is to train Shi Chen. But the imperial court needs more ministers. If you go to Mingjiantang, will you continue to study history in the future? This is also something that everyone is concerned about. ”

The revision of history is a major matter for the country, and for those who preside over the revision of history. It's also a big name. But for everyone involved, it's not easy. Probably many people don't know that Sima Guang wrote "Zizhi Tongjian" because there was a Zizhi Tongjian bookstore, and a group of people participated in it. But for thousands of years, the world only knows that Sima Guang and "Zizhi Tongjian". And the other people involved, it can't be said that no one knows. But not many people know.

Some people may think that it is better to be less famous than to be affordable.

But revising history is a noble official position, what are the benefits? Not to mention that the Ming officials' salaries are not high. specializes in history, and it is likely to be a cold bench for a lifetime.

Lian Zining pondered for a moment and said, "No matter." Chaowen said, Xi can die. I'll talk about the rest of the matter when the time comes, and I already have a lot of questions to ask Master He. ”

Seeing this, Huang Zicheng sighed and said, "Let's go." Never mind. I gave up my life to accompany the gentleman. ”

People like Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng are the top students in the country. For them, the attraction of learning itself is very powerful. Although they are also Confucian scholars, they are in different positions and their thoughts are very simple. The struggle between schools of thought was not on their minds at all.

It is very easy for young people of this age to be attracted by other theories to run away with buckets.

Of course, there are those who yearn for Mingjiantang. There are those who disdain Mingjiantang.

"Dad," a young man in his early twenties, even though he was dressed in a deep coat, he also had a lot of jade pendants on his body. With a clanging sound, he said with an innocent face: "Why should I go to listen to that He Xi class." What's the big deal about He Xi. ”

"I've taken off all these jade pendants from you." Another man in his forties couldn't help frowning when he saw his son like this, and said, "You went to class, what are you doing with some burden?" ”

It's no one else. It was Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and his dog Li Jinglong.

At this moment, Li Jinglong is only in his early twenties. Li Jinglong and Zhu Di are the same age. It is said that I had a good time when I was a teenager.

Li Jinglong didn't dare to disobey his father's words, and took off four or five jade pendants of various kinds. It was guarded by the attendants beside him.

When Li Wenzhong saw his son like this, he was no longer angry. The anger that should be born has already been done. Li Wenzhong can take charge on the battlefield. Li Wenzhong's military talent is estimated to be better than Mu Ying.

It's just that he can't do anything about his son.

When Li Wenzhong was young, before he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he had suffered for several years. knows what the life of the people is like, so after coming to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he cherishes all the opportunities, so literacy opportunities. Because he knows that it is something that many people can't think of.

Therefore, among the founding generals, Li Wenzhong is one of the few generals who are both civil and military.

It's just that Li Jinglong and Li Wenzhong are not the same at all.

When Li Jinglong was born, although the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established, Zhu Yuanzhang had already settled in Jinling. Since I was a child, I have been clothed and fed, and I have heard that Daming has gone from one victory to another.

Listen to the triumphant more. I thought that winning a battle was an easy and natural thing.

It's not just about victory, it's about anything he enjoys.

What is taken for granted, is not cherished.

Li Wenzhong naturally wanted to train the child to be both civil and military, but Li Wenzhong soon discovered one thing, this kid was fooling me. In fact, it's just a matter of fooling him. The most important thing is that Li Jinglong is fooling himself.

If Li Jinglong didn't learn anything, that's fine. But under the pressure of Li Wenzhong's father, and even when many things were taught by Li Wenzhong himself, Li Jinglong still learned something. But that's about it. It is only to pass Li Wenzhong's test as an idea, not to really master it.

But even so, Li Jinglong also boasted that he knew the military and was good at talking about soldiers.

This is why Li Jinglong said to Li Wenzhong that He Xi is not a big deal. Because Li Jinglong felt that he might not be able to do it in the Four Books and Five Classics. But in the art of war, he is the first among the juniors, He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law, and he is also in the same circle.

At this moment, go to worship He Xi as a teacher, where will he put his face.

Li Wenzhong sighed and said, "Do you know what I regret the most over the years? Without waiting for Li Jinglong to answer, he said: "It is for you to learn the art of war." One bottle is dissatisfied, half a bottle is dangling, and it is self-righteous. Let you start from a small school like Fu Zhong, and you feel that it is overkill. You're just a Zhao Kuo. ”

Li Jinglong said: "Father, how can anyone say that about his son. According to what you say, many children of the country's families are not as good as children. ”

Li Wenzhong said: "Yes, they are not as good as you. Are you willing to be a rich idler? ”

Li Jinglong smiled and did not speak. He was naturally unwilling. He thinks very highly of himself, and he was born in such a family, and many things are self-taught.

Li Wenzhong sometimes envies Fu Youde, Fu Zhong, a kid with five big and three coarse, doesn't read much about the art of war, but he has also exercised after killing two people from the pile of dead people. At least I know what the battlefield is all about.

The art of war and the battlefield are two different things. The art of war is the art of war, and the battlefield is the battlefield. Li Wenzhong has seen many veterans, and he doesn't know a few big characters, but he still uses soldiers like gods. After understanding what the battlefield is, learning the art of war is naturally a thousand miles a day. But he immersed himself in studying the art of war. But don't understand what the battlefield is? That's just talking on paper.

I don't want to, his son is probably it.

"Don't think about going to the battlefield in the future, firmly follow He Xi and study hard." Li Wenzhong said: "He Ximing is a lecturer of history, but in fact, he is very practical. As long as you really follow He Xi and learn history thoroughly, you will have a place in the court in the future. Cao Guogong's position, you can also take over. ”

"By the way, from today onwards, don't learn the art of war. In the future, there will be no more military talks. ”
