First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Gao Qi was attracted by Zhang Ximeng's article. It was definitely not a momentary fever. In fact, if he paid attention to the thoughts of Zhu Sheng, Liu Bowen and others, he could get a glimpse of the outline. Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty and ruled the world, but the governance was a mess, the people were struggling to live, and there were sorrows everywhere.

There are too many people of insight, thinking hard, hoping to find out the serious diseases in the world.

From the perspective of later generations, science students are responsible for transforming the world, while liberal arts students are more responsible for explaining the world and summarizing the past properly, which may not be of great value.

However, at some critical moments, a proper and comprehensive summary is just enough to recognize oneself and guide the future.

As mentioned earlier, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, this was the most critical node. As a result, a bunch of quack doctors emerged. They concluded that Cheng Zhuli was such a thundering thing.

It is worth mentioning that the official orthodox Xianxue of the Yuan Dynasty was also Neo-Confucianism. .

But can science explain history?

Can you explain Zhao Song's defeat?

Can it diagnose the ills of the current Yuan Dynasty?

Can you point the way to the future?

Obviously, Neo-Confucianism preserves the principles of nature and eliminates human desires, and only talks about personal cultivation. Confucians like to push themselves and others, the individual sees the family, and the family pushes out the country. The family, the country, the world, naturally.

As long as everyone respects and respects Neo-Confucianism, everyone is a gentleman, and the world will naturally be governed by a prosperous world... This seemingly perfect explanation cannot really solve the real problem.

Because the home is different from the country, the country and the country cannot be regarded as a simple home and home.

In the Central Plains, even if the rituals are broken and music collapses, and the world is in chaos, there are still some rules and reasons to be said.

However, between countries, it is intrigue, and swordsmen meet. You can eat people without spitting bones... A little understanding of the history of the two Song Dynasties, you will understand that those upright gentlemen, pillars and famous officials, in dealing with state affairs, in foreign strategy On, how naive and incompetent, lose power and humiliate the country!

The more top-notch literati, the more books they read, the more flexible their brains are, and the more they think about this question, what should I do?

What is right and what is wrong?

These questions have not been resolved in history, but the establishment of the Ming Dynasty concealed the contradictions. However, with the development of the times, the faults of Neo-Confucianism were re-exposed, and as a result, Wang Yangming's psychology emerged to compete with Neo-Confucianism.

However, the study of the heart did not succeed. When the Ming Dynasty fell, the people of the Central Plains faced a more tragic failure than the Southern Song Dynasty. Some people began to reflect deeply, and they could even say the great harm of the ruler in the world. speech.

It shows the depth of heartache.

It's just that this kind of reflection has not really changed the general trend of the world. Since the Song Dynasty, the national fortunes in the Central Plains have continued to decline. Although there have been occasional repetitions, it still cannot change the reality of the overall decline. It has declined all the way until the flesh and blood build the Great Wall, and the will burns steel. Cruel battles and the heaviest sacrifices were made to stop the falling national fortune, and there were signs of revival again.

Gao Qi and these people may not have such a profound historical understanding, but they also urgently want to know how to re-ZTE after the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty...

For ten days in a row, several people read behind closed doors and studied carefully. During this period, after the most intense quarrel, they almost turned their faces. In the end, their faces were exhausted, and a few young scholars turned into unkempt, sloppy ghosts.

Putting the book down, Gao Qi sighed: "I still have a lot of things I don't understand, but just based on what I know and feel, these few articles are simply enlightening, like waking up from a dream."

The other three nodded, "Brother Qingqiu is right, I can't wait to let more people know."

Gao Qi added: "But Zhang Shicheng has already told me that it is not allowed to leak out, so that everyone knows it... I think he also knows how powerful these articles are, and he is afraid of causing confusion. We are just a scholar who insists on spreading the article out. , how many people can I pass it on? If Zhang Shicheng is annoyed, wouldn't it be a big disaster? I don't want to die, but these three articles can't be seen by the people of Wuzhong, but it's a great sin!"

Yang Ji nodded, agreeing very much, and asked, "Brother Qingqiu, do you have any tricks for saying that?"

Gao Qi smiled and said: "There is no good strategy, there is only a bad idea, I hope you can help, let's write an article together, and criticize Zhang Gong's three articles!"

"What?" Zhang Yu shouted strangely: "Brother Qingqiu, are you crazy? Let us scold Zhang Gong? Are you not afraid of thunder?"

Xu Ben also said angrily: "Yes, this is a sage's word, a wise saying, how can we refute it?"

Gao Qi laughed, "Naturally I refuted it piece by piece."

Yang Kee lowered his head and was stunned for a while before he slammed his thigh!

"I, I understand! Brother Qingqiu means that we should put Zhang Gong's article in our article, called refutation, but in fact, let these articles spread! Wonderful! How wonderful!"

When he said this, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, the surnamed Gao was Gao!

These four talented people cheered up and continued to work... In terms of writing essays, they were even more skilled than Zhang Ximeng.

Gao Qi is proficient in the articles of the past dynasties, and has a very strong ability to learn and imitate. He imitates the Tang Dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty like the Song Dynasty... Gao Qi cited scriptures and scriptures, and went all out to refute Zhang Ximeng's articles.

But Gao Qi secretly not only quoted Zhang Ximeng's words, but also found examples to support these words.

Soon, the first batch of articles refuting Zhang Ximeng came out.

He was full of anxiety and sent it up, and was soon summoned by Zhang Shicheng. Lao Zhang was very moved and directly rewarded Gao Qi with a thousand taels of gold!

"Okay, I have no worries about Mr.'s wonderful brushwork!"

Zhang Shicheng is very relieved, since Gao Qi can scold Zhang Ximeng for nothing, then Shilin in Suzhou, let's take a look at Gao Qi's article!

Zhang Shicheng nodded and ordered the best bookstore in Suzhou to publish the article and spread it!

Gao Qi let out a long sigh, but when he came out of the palace, he grabbed Gao Qi by himself, "You are too bold, how dare you deceive the captain!"

Gao Qi was startled, and turned his head to look quickly. The person who came was one of his good friends, named Wang Xing, who was also working under Zhang Shicheng.

"Brother Wang, why did you say this?"

"Why do you say this? You put Zhang Gong's article in your own article, refute it openly, and secretly fuel the flames... Your tricks can deceive Zhang Taiwei, how can you deceive me!"

Gao Qi was shocked, "You, are you trying to kill me?"

Wang Xing looked at him and smiled suddenly, "In the past, I may have broken this matter, but Zhang Shicheng has been attached to Dayuan and has already become the Yuan Ting Taiwei, if I still follow him, would I be blind! You! Don't worry, what I gave Zhang Shicheng was the abridgement I copied, your move is enough to confuse him temporarily. But brother Qingqiu can't be too complacent, you have to be prepared, and if something leaks, you can run away."

Gao Qi was startled, and then said: "I'm just a scholar, how can I run?"

"Don't be afraid, I have already thought about it for you." Wang Xing said a few words in Gao Qi's ear, and at night, a young man came to Gao Qi's residence.

This person has thick bones, high brow bones, and sunken eye sockets.

"You are……"

"Under Yao Guangxiao, the legal name is Daoyan."

"Are you a monk?"

"I haven't lost my hair, and now I practice with the real person Yingzhen!"

Gao Qi smiled, "So, you are proficient in Buddhism?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head, "I'm more proficient in Confucianism... Qingqiuzi wouldn't think that you are the only one in the world who also cultivates the three religions, right? This place in Suzhou is full of outstanding people, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, don't underestimate the heroes of the world!"

Gao Qi could hear that this guy of the same age as him was also a very arrogant guy. In the past, he might still have the heart to discuss with him.

But in the face of Zhang Ximeng's three articles, Gao Qi has long since been honest.

What else is there to fight for, no matter how hard you fight, you will eat dirt behind Duke Zhang!

It's better to put your mind on the business, think about it, and how to spread Zhang Gong's articles!

The addition of Yao Guangxiao made a few scholars discover their blind spots. In the past, they only thought about Shilin, do they want to let the people know too? It's just such a profound article, they still can't fully understand it, how can the people grasp it clearly?

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, it was a scholar's rebellion, and it won't happen in three years! Mr. Zhang wrote the outline of the division of the land a few years ago, and these articles did not come out of nowhere. I can hope that the people will know it all at once.”

"Then, what should I do?" Gao Qi asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple. I think it's enough to let the people know that Duke Wu advocates dividing the land. Anyone who belongs to Duke Wu will have a piece of land. That's enough."

Gao Qilie pondered and nodded immediately.

hurry up!

The articles of Gao Qi and others are published here, and Yao Guangxiao has collected a lot of Buddhist scriptures and amulets. In the middle of these things, he put a small note that says something like "Wait for King Wu, hope King Wu, King Wu is here. Food", "Follow Zhu's army, have money and fields" and other small notes are distributed everywhere, as long as people come to ask for a lottery and pray for blessings, they can get a copy.

On the other side, several hundred copies of Gao Qi and others' articles were quickly published. In Suzhou City, almost all of the scholars gathered in Suzhou City had one copy. Ah... No wonder they evenly divided the fields, closed the brothel, and let women come out to do things.

This is not some kind of chicken Sichen, turning the world upside down, corrupting the Gangchang... but it has a profound truth. And this is not just as simple as improving the status of women. On the contrary, it seems that men can get more choices, and the family will be better.

And this is also the only way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. If you want to reproduce the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, you must take this road.

You can oppose Zhang Ximeng's proposition, but you can't ignore the lethal power of these articles~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's okay to criticize Confucianism, and it's okay to criticize Gangchang. What about the parents!

It's just that these three articles are too special, not only to scold Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, but also to encircle the people behind Cheng-Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, imprison the people's strength, and make clear the truth of misleading the country and the people.

This is no longer just digging ancestral graves, but dragging out the bones of our ancestors and turning them into ashes!

I can't bear it anymore, I have to come out and criticize... Suzhou Shilin is like a fried pot, jumping out one after another, scolding Zhang Ximeng, writing articles, and even attacking villains and cursing Zhang Ximeng.

In the face of such a lively situation, Zhang Shicheng was still a little excited, and it was really whimsical and unpopular... But Zhang Shicheng soon realized one thing, he didn't want to publicize it, just wanted to ask Gao Qi's opinion, but it's so far. , It seems that everyone knows it?

Zhang Shicheng had a bad feeling.

In Jinling, a few hundred miles away, Zhang Ximeng's mansion was stolen again. This time, no one left him gold ingots, and the manuscripts he worked so hard to write disappeared.

Zhang Ximeng hugged his temple in distress, "Go and call Lu Qiuyun and let him help me find the thief!"
