Chongzhen Undergraduates

Unwillingness and anger filled his mind.Huang Shu was thinking about leaving Nanjing and the way after leaving the emperor.

Hou Jin is too far away, and now he has defected to Ming Dynasty, so he has a bad reputation.For the time being, there have been no large-scale examples of Ming people defecting to Houjin, and it only appeared in the Liaodong area outside the pass before.

Even Wu Sangui has been chasing Li Zicheng under the banner of revenge. How could he, Huang Shu, have the ability to find Houjin.

All he can have is a good relationship with Zuo Liangyu.Since becoming the supervisor of the army, he has said a lot of good things for Zuo Liangyu and received a lot of respect from Zuo Liangyu.

"Yes! I'm going to Wuchang, and only Marshal Zuo can take me in." Huang Shu made up his mind and planned to leave Nanjing and go to Wuchang to find Zuo Liangyu.

"Master, there is a gentleman outside the door asking to see you." The servant came in and reported.

"No, no. Your master lost face today, someone came to humiliate me!" Huang Shu shouted angrily.

"He said he had something important to ask the master. He is a student of Mr. Wang." The servant was very wronged and was scolded for no reason.

"Which Mr. Wang?" Huang Shu was in a hurry to leave Nanjing, not caring about who it was.

"Dongge University Bachelor, Wang Duo."

"Please." Hearing that it was Wang Duo's student, Huang Shu became interested, and this was on his side.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his early thirties walked in, but he was a bit old-fashioned.

"So it's Brother Taichong. Hurry up!"

"Brother Zhonglin (Huang Shu's character) don't come here without any harm." The visitor clasped his fists and sat down on the chair without being polite, but there was still an unpleasant smell in the room.

"The two masters ordered me to come here to ask about the matter of entering the court council. I heard that my elder brother was humiliated by the emperor. What's the matter?"

"Hmph! It's a shame..." Huang Shu was filled with righteous indignation, and viciously recounted what happened to him in the court.

"Brother Zhonglin is saying that the emperor actually wants to include the science of mind in the scientific examination?" Tai Chong was startled, but quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, this move is self-defeating. I think this emperor has deviated far from the orthodox. In the past, he lost the capital, and now he still loses the hearts of the people. It's a pity that I, Ming, will perish."

Huang Shu looked up to the sky and sighed, squeezed out a few tears, looking very sad.

"Brother Zhong Lin, you must not say this too much." Tai Chong hurriedly stopped Huang Shu's remarks, saying such words in the Nanjing area, either because of something strange in his heart, or because he didn't want to live anymore.

"I'm not afraid. I'm going to Wuchang to find Marshal Zuo." Huang Shu said proudly.

"What do you want to do with Marshal Zuo?"

"The imperial court has been corrupted to this point, there must be a treacherous party bewitching it. For the current plan, only Marshal Zuo led the troops to Nanjing, and "the Qing emperor's side" discussed the government. I also hope that Taichong's brother will tell the old man that the scholars of Ming Dynasty cannot just sit and wait for death. "

"Brother Zhonglin really wants to do this?" Tai Chong asked.

"A certain family has nowhere to go, so they just dedicate themselves to Daming." Huang Shu said very righteously, which means that the strong man is gone forever.

Taichong hurriedly left Huang Shu's house and came to that familiar courtyard in Nanjing City, but when he was about to enter the door, he stopped in his tracks.

What Huang Shu said touched him too much, he swayed left and right for a moment, then turned and left, walking towards Qian Qianyi's house.

Chapter 148: Superficial article

Before Qian Qianyi came to court, Liu Rushi was not a traditional woman after all, she received the guests very generously.

"Mr. Huang is a rare visitor, please come in quickly." Seeing the visitor, Liu Rushi stepped aside, squatted halfway, and immediately folded his hands together.

"Does Madam know me?" Tai Chong was surprised, he had tried his best to dress up as old-fashioned as he could, with plain clothes, a beard, and a thin face. Walking on the street, many acquaintances might not be able to recognize him at a glance.

"After the famous "Seven Gentlemen of Donglin", who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" Liu Rushi has been in the upper reaches of the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and the anecdotes of Donglin have long been familiar.

This person is Huang Zongxi, the eldest son of "Seven Gentlemen of Donglin" Huang Zunsu.Together with Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi, he is known as the "Three Great Thinkers in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasty"; with his younger brothers Huang Zongyan and Huang Zonghui, he is known as the "Three Yellows in Eastern Zhejiang"; together with Gu Yanwu, Fang Yizhi, Wang Fuzhi, and Zhu Shunshui, he is known as the "Five Great Thinkers in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasty" , Also known as the "Father of Chinese Ideological Enlightenment".Together with Li Yong from Shaanxi and Sun Qifeng from Rongcheng in Zhili, he is also known as the "Three Great Confucianists in China".

In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu were eliminated, and the unjust case of Tianqi Dynasty was vindicated.Huang Shangshu asked Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan and others to punish the remnants of the eunuch party.In May, the Ministry of Criminal Justice interrogated, appeared in court to testify, stabbed Xu Xianchun with an awl in his sleeve, beat Cui Yingyuan in public, and pulled out his beard to sacrifice to his father's spirit. He was known as "Yaojiang Huang Xiaozi".

Xu Xianchun was in the period of Wei Zhongxian, and Jin Yiwei was in command of his affairs.Killed with the military ministers Tian Ergeng, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan, the leader of Jinyiwei who is serious.

Huang Zongxi, a scholar, dared to assassinate a spy chief in court, which shows his courage is extraordinary.

As a descendant of the most famous Donglin party member, Huang Zongxi had a natural hatred for Ruan Dacheng.After Zhu Youjian went south, he first reused Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, which made Huang Zongxi very disappointed.

For half a year, Huang Zongxi lived in a semi-reclusive state, hiding in the homes of his two teachers most of the time, concentrating on reading and thinking about problems.

Huang Zongxi had two teachers, one was Liu Zongzhou, the last Confucian master in the Ming Dynasty, and the champion of Neo Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties.He has written a lot, the content is complex and obscure.

The second is Wang Duo. Needless to say, Wang Duo mentioned it when he was in the Yuan Mansion in Haozhou.

In this period, Huang Zongxi's thoughts had not yet reached a great level.Due to a change in life experience, he is in the period of ideological formation.

Hearing about the changes in the imperial court today, Huang Zongxi vaguely felt that Zhu Youjian was not wrong in reforming the scientific examination. He himself is an apprentice of Confucianism. "Li" is not an objectively existing material entity, but the law of movement of "Qi". It is believed that "temperament and human heart are completely popular and public things."

To put it bluntly, Huang Zongxi has seen the disadvantages of Neo Confucianism, and started to study Mindology instead.

Instinctively, Huang Zongxi came to bring Qian Qianyi's home, as for what to say, he didn't know at all.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Yu Shan (Qian Qianyi's honorific name) at home?" Huang Zongxi hesitated when he saw Liu Ru was coming out alone, and didn't want to enter the house.

Huang Zongxi was not Hou Fangyu, and he did not have the habit of being contaminated by women from the Qinhuai River. When he saw Liu Rushi, he first wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Mu Zhai has not yet come to court. If Mr. Huang has something to do, I can tell it to you." Liu Ru is such a shrewd woman, how could she fail to see what Huang Zongxi was thinking.

"No need, I'm just here to ask for advice on poetry." Huang Zongxi thought for a while, but didn't say anything, he saluted Liu Rushi, turned around and left.

"What a weird person!" Liu Rushi obviously felt that there must be something wrong with Huang Zongxi, but he didn't say anything, and could only sigh.

A series of incidents hit Huang Zongxi hard, especially after Huang Zunsu was rehabilitated, he lost the imperial examination in 15 years, and even lost his fighting spirit.

On the noisy street, the bustling crowd, it seems that the laughter and sorrow of every passerby seem to disappear.Huang Zongxi walked among the crowd, very conflicted.

Some of my thoughts are getting more and more divorced from the teaching of my teacher Liu Zongzhou. Is this good or bad?There is no way to serve the country, no hope for the imperial examination, where is my way out?

When he heard that the emperor wanted to innovate scientific research, Huang Zongxi even had a kind of expectation and was a little excited.

No matter how slow he walked, Huang Zongxi returned to the small courtyard.Opening the door, I still saw the two teachers sitting there playing chess.

"Zongxi is back? What's the news?" Wang Duo glanced at Huang Zongxi, as if he didn't notice the change in him today, and the Yunzi in his hand was gently placed on the chessboard.

"The emperor's imperial staff has Huang Shu, and even humiliated him." Huang Zongxi came to the two teachers, came back to his senses, and saluted respectfully: "The reason is that the emperor wants to reform the scientific examination system."

When Wang Duo and Liu Zong heard it on Monday, they immediately stopped, looked closely at Huang Zongxi, and hurriedly asked, "How do I change it?"

"The test questions are not limited to the nine books of Confucianism, but can also include psychology; the format is not limited to stereotypes, poetry is also acceptable." Huang Zongxi remembered the content very well, thinking that he had expectations for this reformation in his heart.

"My God! This is giving up the family law of the ancestors." Wang Duo jumped up first, completely losing the peaceful state just now.

"Hmph! I thought he dared to advocate the so-called new learning. After all, he still respects my Confucianism as the foundation. Confucianism, Neo-Confucianism, and Xinxue are all my Confucianism." Liu Zongzhou, as the most famous Confucian master in the late Ming Dynasty, did not care but he did. Science or psychology, he knows both anyway.It is also possible to connect Neo-Confucianism and Mind-School to create a school and establish the Jishan School.
