The sixth day of August.

It has been half a month since Zhu Houzhao ran away from home, and on this day, Yang Peng almost crawled and ran to the Qianqing Palace, ignoring Zhu Youji's reading of the music, almost recklessly rushed in and shouted: "Your Majesty, I found it!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Youzhu stood up with a look of horror.

He knew that he was talking about his son, but there were too many interpretations of the word "found", it could be said that he had found someone, or he could say that he had found a corpse, or he knew his whereabouts.

Xiao Jingben was in charge of delivering the music on the side, and scolded: "Make it clear." ”

"The whereabouts of the crown prince have been found and they are safe and sound...... Now it has passed Xuzhou...... On the way to Nanjing, he was safe and sound. Yang Peng told everything he knew this time.

"Whew!"

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know how my son went south to Xuzhou, at least now my son is safe and sound, which is a blessing.

Xiao Jing was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty, let's just say that now that the people of the Ming Dynasty are prosperous, how can there be treachery that is not good for the prince?" ”

Zhu Youzhu closed his eyes, tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said: "When the prince goes out, he is different from ordinary people, and he can't stop someone from thinking about him if he doesn't leave it behind. What about people? Are you on your way back to Beijing? ”

Yang Peng said: "Your Majesty, this is Jinyiwei's recital...... It was through Tang Zhongcheng, the governor of Bohai sent by Lai Guogong, to find the whereabouts of the prince on the ground in Shandong, and sent people to follow him all the way to secretly protect and enter Xuzhou......"

"Ahem......"

Zhu Youzhu knew that his son was not on the way back to Jingshi, so he was naturally a little unhappy.

But when he knew that it was Zhang Zhou who found his son, he was a little relieved.

With Zhang Zhou here, even if Zhang Zhou didn't go in person, with Tang Yin, his son's safety can basically be guaranteed.

……

……

Zhu Youzhu took the Jinyiwei and watched it, and determined that Tang Yin was leading a team of fifty or sixty Jinyiwei to protect his son in secret.

"Your Majesty, Tang Zhongcheng's Jinyi Guards are all people around Lai Guogong, after notifying Jinyiwei, there have been a large number of Jinyi Guards to help, and now the prince has not been alarmed, Tang Zhongcheng said, this is in accordance with Lai Guogong's instructions, if the prince knows, I am afraid that it will ...... Use some extraordinary means to get out of it, and then it will be difficult to find it. ”

Yang Peng was still making annotations on the side.

"Smack!" Zhu Youzhi slapped Jinyiwei's secret report on the table.

"How old is the prince? How can you have such a great ability? From Beijing to Xuzhou? How do you do your errands? Zhu Youzhi always thought that his son was not found, but that his son was hiding around the capital.

Now I know that my son passed through the blockade and actually went south to Xuzhou.

That's a lot of fun.

The people sent out by the emotional I are all dry food, so it is better for Zhang Zhou to have the ability? Just a short notice, and the person was found?

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, the purpose of the crown prince going south is to find the Duke of Lai. ”

"I don't need you to remind me." Zhu Youji's face was not good, "I just want to ask, how did he go south?" The few he brought are still there? ”

Yang Peng said: "Gao Feng, Liu Jin, Qiu Ju and Ma Yongcheng have been around the prince, it is said that the prince first took a carriage out of the city, left the carriage in the farm, hired the carriage to pretend to go north, changed into ordinary clothes, took an ox cart to Tongzhou, and the southbound scholars shared the boat south, along the way to participate in the cultural meeting, usually ...... are all under the pseudonym of Zhu Shou......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhu Youzhu listened.

Boy.

My son is really good at playing when he goes south, and he is hiding from Jinyiwei, and he is mingling with scholars, and he actually learns to share boats with others? Still going all the way to the cultural meeting?

No wonder you can't even find a person, the feeling is that the prince is playing smartly, and he is stunned that you don't realize the truth of "dark under the lamp"!

Xiao Jingzhi asked: "The prince went south to take a boat, which is the top priority in the precaution, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei didn't search the ships along the way?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Now it is the summer flood season of the canal, and the boats coming and going from the south to the north almost block the river, and they dare not tell the identity of the prince to the outside world, so they only give some of the portraits and characteristics of the Jinyi guard, which is difficult for them to ...... Find the whereabouts of the crown prince in the crowd. ”

"Incompetent!" Xiao Jing was scolding.

Indirectly, it is also highlighting itself.

Your Majesty, take a look, do you think Yang Peng has the ability to let him take charge of the East Factory, can this be compared to me when I was the commander of the East Factory? Otherwise, let's quickly replace the person, and let the incompetent person do something incompetent, so as not to be embarrassed.

Zhu Youzhu raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Jing's questioning, he said: "It's good that the prince is safe and sound, I didn't expect that the prince would ...... That's how it went south. ”

In his heart, he was not only annoyed that his son did not say hello and ran away from home, but also secretly admired his son's trick of hiding from the world...... It can be said that you are angry and sighing, you people are not as capable as the prince!

When the father, when he found that there was a problem with communicating with his son, he was more angry than tolerant, but it developed to the point of forcing his son to run away from home, Zhu Youzhi will also reflect on whether he has done wrong.

"Send more people to protect the prince and leave it to the Duke of Laiguo...... and Tang Yin, he must not let the prince have an accident. Zhu Youzhu commanded again.

Xiao Jing was surprised: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is out now, in danger, why don't you ......?"

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan is right to worry, others don't know his identity, so they don't threaten him, but after knowing his identity, it's his biggest disaster." Even if someone is sent to protect him, he will be suspicious if someone secretly finds out. Can you ensure that the prince does not run away on the way back to Beijing? ”

"This ......" Xiao Jing was speechless.

As a father, he actually agreed to let his son go to Nanjing?

"Although the prince is messing around, he also has some courage." Zhu Youzhu said, "He did what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and when he returns to the palace, I will definitely punish him heavily, but now I still have to ensure his safety." Yang Peng, you personally go to Nanjing, not only to ensure the safety of the prince, but also to cooperate with Lai Guogong to do things. ”

"Yes." Yang Peng took the order.

Xiao Jing reminded: "But Your Majesty, the affairs of the East Factory in the capital ......."

"No problem." Zhu Youzhu said, "What's the matter with the East Factory of the capital, just report it to me, isn't there still Mu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei?" You take the Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu envoy Guo Ang to go, and if anyone secretly spies on the prince along the way, and the source is unknown, you will be killed! Lai Guogong has the authority to act cheaply in Jiangnan, and you cooperate with him, but you will obey all the orders given by Bingkuan, and I will not hold you accountable. ”

"Yes."

Yang Peng heard it.

This time I went to the south with Zhang Zhou to do "big things", not simply to protect Zhu Houzhao's safety.

What was supposed to be a bad thing now looks ...... Because the person was found by Zhang Zhou, he Yang Peng became a "hero" instead.

When he raised his head a little to observe Xiao Jing's face, he found that Xiao Jing's face was almost green.

……

……

The news that Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts were found also spread to Zhang Zhou's side all the way.

After Zhang Zhou read Tang Yin's report, he felt that Tang Yin was starting to know how to do things, no need for Tang Yin's high opinions, as long as he could listen to his orders, at least there would be no big deviations.

It's not that he Zhang Zhou has great ability, but he Zhang Zhou has the support of the emperor, as long as Tang Yin obeys orders, even if he makes a big mistake, he doesn't need to carry a big cauldron.

But if Tang Yin makes his own opinions, even if he doesn't do things perfectly, he will become a stain on his career.

"Master Zhang."

After confirming that there was no major event on Zhu Houzhao's side, Zhang Zhou could also go south smoothly and prepare to go to Nanjing in the shortest possible time to serve as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

And Xu Jing, as the advance dispatch, went to Nanjing and came back to greet him.

Originally, Zhang Zhou asked Tang Yin to take Xu Jing to Zhu Houzhao, but Xu Jing was afraid of causing trouble, so he had to go to Zhang Zhou to explore the way first.

"Say." Zhang Zhouren was on the boat, holding a book, looking at Xu Jing, who had just boarded the ship.

Xu Jingdao: "This time Jiangnan treatises studies, representatives of schools from all over the country have arrived. The leader is naturally the Lingnan School, I heard that there is a person named Zhan Ruoshui, I don't know how to learn, but he is very famous among Lingnan scholars...... Many of the students in Fujian and Guangdong are his classmates. ”

"Tell me something else." Zhang Zhou had long known that Zhan Ruoshui was coming to discuss psychology on behalf of Chen Xianzhang.

Now is not the time to divide who is the orthodoxy of the mind, or it is not yet the time to pick the fruit, and we should first discuss the science of science.

Xu Jingdao: "The school of science, with the Jiangxi school has the most people, divided into two factions, one is said to be the children of Hu Jingzhai and Lou Yizhai, they argue on the basis of reason, that the study of mind is a different theory, so that Jiangxi and Huguang and other scholars, most of them hold this argument. In addition, among the northern schools, there are many people who come, but they are not systematic. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Hu Jingzhai is Hu Juren, a master of science, together with Chen Xianzhang and Lou Liang, are all disciples of Wu Hebi, a master of science and Chongren School, but Chen Xianzhang later founded Xinxue, but Chen Xianzhang's Xinxue is more like a supplement to science, and has not completed the collection.

Now among the three brothers of the same sect, even Chen Xianzhang died in February of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, which means that the leaders of each school are not there.

Xu Jing also mentions this: "...... The people of the Lingnan School themselves want to come to Beijing at the beginning of the year to discuss with you, but because Chen Shizhai died of illness at the beginning of the year, most of the disciples have not traveled far to keep filial piety, and even Zhan Ruoshui is not angry with Zhang Shiyou, so he specially Dai Xiao came to discuss the study. The Lingnan School also came with them, and they all wore linen and filial piety, you ...... Be careful. ”

The academic atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is very strong, but it is the habit of southern scholars to deal with themselves by factions.

In other words, most of the scholars in the north are stragglers, while those in the south are in groups, and there is a situation where they are unhappy to see who is unhappy with the same disciples and brothers.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "If you can't talk about me, you still have to die hard with me?" ”

Xu Jing said: "It's not impossible. ”

Zhang Zhou waved his hand and said, "Then other schools, are they so upright?" ”

Xu Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Other schools are not as persistent as those people in Lingnan, but you should also be careful, now you have not yet arrived in Nanjing, but there are many people who open the altar to give lectures in Nanjing, most of them are promoting their own academic ideas, and there are also your supporters...... No, it's your followers, who have already taken the lead in Nanjing, and most of them are disciples of the local school in Nanzhili. ”

"Really?" Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded.

Before his own people went, someone had already begun to stand up for him.

The motive is not pure.

However, it is still worth encouraging, and it can also help him share the firepower when it is critical.

"Master Zhang, your literary name is not only unique in the south of the Yangtze River, but also well-known in the northern school, especially in the Shuntianfu scholars, who respect you the most, and also because your classics were originally related to the Shuntianfu, and some people call your doctrine 'Beimen Xinxue'." Xu Jingdao.

Zhang Zhoudao: "North Gate? When did I become a northerner? ”

"No, it's just for the convenience of being opposite to Lingnan Xinxue, and because there are mostly students from the north such as Shuntianfu among your followers, and many provinces in the south have their own schools, even if your academic ideas are unprecedented, you won't be recognized by them for a while."

Xu Jing himself is a native of Jiangyin, and he still knows a lot about the academic system of southern scholars.

Zhang Zhou also knew that Xu Jing was not lying.

Among the scholars in the south, especially those who have become famous, they are all in gangs, and they are also prone to gangs...... It is just like when Wang Shouren promoted the study of mind later, he also opened altars to preach in various parts of the south, and finally developed the study of mind into a national academic theory.

Therefore, in Daming, if you want to promote a new academic, the first choice is in Jiangnan.

Not only are there traditional schools, but people here are also more likely to accept some new schools, as long as you are famous enough, and your academic perfection is easy to be understood, and it is easier to resonate with the academic community.

"It's good, you've had a hard time." Zhang Zhoudao.

Xu Jingcheng said with trepidation: "The students are not hard at all. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "You don't have to call yourself so much in front of me, and I don't plan to accept anyone as a disciple, you and Bohu are still friends, so you and I are the same generation." ”

"Don't dare." Xu Jing couldn't wait to bow to Zhang Zhou's door.

Xu Jing also said what he wanted in this regard, "If you don't give up, Master Zhang, the student is willing to serve you before and after the saddle." You may not know that now your school seems to have been formed, and many people claim to be your disciples, but they all know that you have never officially accepted disciples, and even the grandson of the British Duke is only temporarily studying the art of war under your name, and no one recognizes it. ”

"Huh."

That's right.

Zhang Lun has never regarded himself as a disciple of Zhang Zhou, and Old Man Zhang doesn't seem to care about his grandson's mentor.

If Zhang Lun is his disciple, wouldn't that be ...... He is a generation shorter than Old Man Zhang?

Besides, Zhang Lun is not a learning material.

Xu Jingdao: "Nowadays, students from all over the world have spontaneously promoted your academic activities, all hoping to be recognized by you, and take advantage of this discussion to worship the teacher. ”

"Oh. I don't have any academic qualifications, and Bohu is my only fellow disciple, of course, in magic. Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Xu Jing added: "There are not a few people who want to worship Tang Bohu's disciples. ”

"Haha."

Zhang Zhou couldn't help laughing.

Tang Yin can be regarded as "flying on the branch", because he is his fellow disciple of Zhang Zhou, and others can't worship him Zhang Zhou's disciple, so they want to go to Tang Yin's door...... Zhang Zhou will feel a little absurd when he thinks about it.

"This is a summary below, the list of schools from all over the country that went to Nanjing to participate in the discourse, as well as the names of some famous Confucians, as well as some official letters from the local government, you can read them first."

Xu Jing displayed what he summarized and handed it to Zhang Zhou, also because he knew that Zhang Zhou was very methodical.

Because Zhang Zhou was fine, he asked Tang Yin to write a report.

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou nodded.

Xu Jingdao: "Say goodbye first, go back to your arrangements in Nanjing, if you need some private arrangements, although you need to say that there is nothing to help you with, there is still a meager family background, try to help you do it." In addition, 1,000 copies of the Mind Classics were printed below...... Don't dare to give away privately, they are all prepared for you, just wait for you to arrive in Nanjing, in case of emergency. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "You can't do this well, I can do it myself." But since you are ready, then stay in Nanjing, and when it is time to preach the study of the mind, you can take the opportunity to make a deal. The money made up helped Bohu build his ship. He came to Jiangnan to raise funds. ”

Xu Jing said with a smile: "I will also help you in the future." ”

……

……

Zhang Zhouren has not yet arrived in Nanjing, but Nanjing has already become lively because of his imminent arrival.

Not only are they ready to come to the study, but there are also many who are purely to join in the fun, which also makes Nanjing the center of academic thought in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a place where schools from all over the world collide and exchange...... Not only is there a dispute between the study of mind and science, but there are also schools of thought within the science of science, and the two sides are likely to sit down and discuss it for a few days and nights for an inconspicuous concept, and then break up unhappily in the stereotype that they do not understand each other.

Academic ideas are all stereotypes, but whatever is instilled in the mind, even if it is wrong, it is difficult to change it.

This was also felt when Zhu Houzhao went south to participate in various cultural meetings.

"Brother Sun, you said that their group of people were obviously speechless by us, why are they still dead ducks?"

After attending a local cultural meeting in Xuzhou on this day, when Zhu Houzhao and Sun Che and others returned to the riverside post house, they were curious about it.

Sun Che smiled but said nothing.

Gong Yeping on the side said: "Zhu Xiaogongzi, you may not know this, in terms of learning, there is never a distinction between right and wrong, it is useless to reason with them, the most important thing is to let those who are listening think that we are reasonable, pull those people in, and don't go with them in the future." ”

"Damn!" Zhu Houzhao said, "Then I didn't say it in vain?" ”

Gong Yeping said: "You didn't say it in vain, you didn't see a few students who came to audit today, they all handed us famous posts afterwards, but those people who claimed to be the local school of science slipped away?" Now they are still dead ducks, and when some of them withdraw, when they study locally in the future, science will not be able to gain the upper hand, and when they fall into a single position, they will understand that they must change. ”

"It's complicated."

Zhu Houzhao has never experienced the battle of schools, so naturally he doesn't know such a complicated matter.

Sun Che said with a smile: "It's rare to have Zhu Gongzi here, don't you know, let's go south this way is very beautiful, just after the discussion here, before turning back to the next place, the reputation will spread, and someone will come to pay respects." ”

"So fast?" Zhu Houzhao grinned.

Sun Che said: "You have a reputation, it will spread soon, in the academic world, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." ”
