The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Chapter 317 The Academy Debate [6]

Zhang Juzheng, courtesy name Shuda, nicknamed Taiyue, Han nationality, and his childhood name was Zhang Baigui.

If you want to talk about Zhang Juzheng's life, it is definitely a child of someone else's family, a model of a successful life.

Zhang Juzheng was literate at the age of 5, mastered the six classics at the age of 7, passed the scholar examination at the age of 12, participated in the provincial examination at the age of 13, and passed the examination at the age of 16.In the 26th year of Jiajing, the 23-year-old Zhang Juzheng had already passed the Jinshi examination, and was also the No. 9 Jinshi in the second grade of high school.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng, who had studied and observed politics for several years in the Imperial Academy, which was extremely noble in the capital, was sent out to study in Zhejiang under the operation of Xu Jie, and came out to accumulate some qualifications and experience as an official, and was ready to return to Beijing again. promoted.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng, who was a student in Zhejiang, happened to be inspecting Wansong Academy, and happened to hear the conversation between Shen Lian and Wang Xijue's teachers and students, so he couldn't hold back anymore and spoke coldly.

Shen Lian was not too alarmed when he saw Mr. Zhejiang Tixue raised different objections. He smiled calmly and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. If there is anything wrong with my student's words, please speak up."

Zhang Juzheng walked in with a grimace, followed by all the officials from Zhejiang Province.

Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and scolded: "Wansong Academy, where is it?"

Shen Lian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Of course it is a saint's school."

"The place where the Four Books and Five Classics are taught." Zhang Juzheng, as a high school scholar, of course strongly defends the study of sages, and is extremely repelled by Yan Song's [Theory of Sea Power]. The place where I preach here. As a teacher of Zhejiang University, I am in charge of Zhejiang Xuezheng. The academic style of Wansong Academy is not correct, and it is actually teaching and discussing heresy, which must be dealt with severely!"

Shen Lian frowned.

The students were stunned.

It has to be said that Zhang Juzheng's Zhejiang Tixue is indeed the natural enemy of all colleges and students, and has the power of life and death.

The Ming Dynasty treated scholars generously, and scholars were not afraid of officials. When they became scholars, they would not kneel when they saw officials.Because if you learn a word, after you verify the crime, you can get rid of the student's reputation, abolish your examination status, and ruin everything you have worked so hard to accumulate.

But Shen Lian was not afraid, and pointed to the couplet behind Zhang Juzheng: "Master Zhang, this is the school motto of my Wansong Academy. The world's affairs are in the hands of the people of the world. Besides, Elder Yan Songyan has already made it clear that This [Sea Power Theory] is to be included in the imperial examination questions as part of the examination scope of Shiwen Policy Theory."

"Yan Song? Which one is he?" Zhang Juzheng sneered disdainfully, and was about to say "onion". When he thought of Yan Song's power, he also thought of the teachings of his teacher Xu Jie before he left, so that he would have less trouble in Zhejiang, especially not to accompany him Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng, who were on the emperor's southern tour, had no choice but to swallow the words that came to their lips, and coughed: "Naturally, there is a system for the country to select scholars."

But Shen Lian is a hard-headed person. He has already seen that Zhang Juzheng did not dare to offend Yan Song, and criticized [Sea Power Theory], and smiled slightly: "The place of the school is not the place of the court. Discussions and different opinions are naturally allowed. My lord, Since you have studied [Sea Power Theory] so much, why don't you tell us about it?"

Zhang Juzheng looked around the audience.

Xu Jie arranged for his beloved apprentice Zhang Juzheng to study in Zhejiang, which actually has a lot of meaning.This old, treacherous and cunning guy knew that he had no chance of winning against Yan Song when he was at the top of the imperial court, and he would only be blasted by Yan Song again and again~Ju, so he simply took the route of saving the country with curves.

That is to train future generations!

The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.Yan Song, no matter how fierce you are, no matter how much you win Jiajing's favor, you won't be able to live forever, right?Gotta retire?After you get old and step down, all the newcomers I trained will come up, let's see how you die!

Therefore, (bfeg) Xu Jie remained calm and used his position as a minister to arrange for his student Zhang Juzheng to be a student in Zhejiang.

As mentioned earlier, Zhejiang has a developed economy and outstanding people, which is where the culture of the Ming Dynasty lies, and the quality of candidates is extremely vigorous.The so-called learning is a teacher, who can easily search for talents, promote them, and take advantage of talents.Xu Jie himself is from Huating, Zhejiang, and Zhang Juzheng is studying in Zhejiang, so he can get a lot of money first, and promote the descendants of the Xu family, as well as scholars in Zhejiang, to become his own talent reserve base!

It has to be said that although Xu Jie is still just a minister, the future chief assistant, the number one enemy who eliminated Yan Song in history, has already secretly buried Yan Song.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng couldn't help getting angry was because he was a student in Zhejiang, but he found out that Wansong Academy was organizing to study Yan Song's works!

It seems that these teachers and students agree with Yan Song's point of view?

How can you grow other people's seedlings on your own one-acre three-point land?

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng decided that it was necessary for him to correct the three views that Zhejiang students were abducted by Yan Song, went astray, and collapsed. As a student, he has the responsibility to teach and educate people, and he is tireless in destroying people!

Zhang Juzheng cleared his throat, and said seriously: "The way of a sage lies in his mighty virtue and his far-sightedness. Therefore, if a sage acts on the small, he can overwhelm the great; if he judges the near, he can cherish the far. Transformation is not internalization, externalization is to enter people, and internalization is not to be transformed, so it is the whole body. Therefore, there are certain exercises inside, while the outside can stretch, win and shrink, roll and stretch, and move with things, so everything is done. without sinking."

What does this mean?

To put it simply, Zhang Juzheng's point of view is the old Confucian way of Confucius and Mencius, emphasizing internal affairs and ignoring external affairs, closing the door to manage one's own family affairs, governing the country well, and naturally all nations will come to court, and guests from far and near will be convinced.

This is an ostrich mentality, conservative thinking.

Shen Lian did not speak, but glanced at Wang Xijue.

The young student immediately stood up and said loudly to Zhang Juzheng: "In the academy, you are our senior. The student has something unclear and wants to ask for advice."

Zhang Juzheng frowned, thinking that I was giving you a lecture, why did you jump up and refute, why are there such unreasonable students?

But at this time, after all, he was in the academy, a place with a strong academic atmosphere. Wang Xijue called him "senior", making it clear that he wanted to debate with him academically as a scholar.Zhang Juzheng couldn't show his stinky airs about learning, so he could only patiently say: "Ask."

I strongly recommend a good new book "The Super Cop of the System", which suits my appetite very well. .

Chapter 318 Zhang Juzheng Is Mad [1]

Wang Xijue said loudly: "According to Yan Ge's [Sea Power Theory], now the world has become a world of great powers, dividing up the world, just like a group of robbers are robbing the neighbors, we can stay out of it? Close the country? If you don't open your eyes to see the world, sooner or later They beat them in!"

Zhang Juzheng was furious, thinking how could the style of study in Zhejiang be so open?This group of students are not too quick to accept new things!As soon as Yan Song, the old thief, called for national honor and interests, these young people immediately became enthusiastic, clamoring for what they want~Why open your eyes to see the world?

He sternly said: "The learning of sages is the absolute truth that cannot be easily broken through the ages! The Western law of the jungle is the learning of wolves and robbers. Do you want to learn it? They are animals and can be robbers. Are we disciples of saints? Also - to be a robber?"

Wang Xijue took out "Theory of Sea Power" and read aloud: "If there is no sea power, there will be no coastal defense, and if there is no coastal defense, there will be no security. If China does not catch up, participate in the Western powers to carve up the world, seize the opportunity, the future It is bound to be in trouble for 500 years, and the country is blasted open by the strong ships and guns of the West. If you want to protect yourself, how can you get it?"

He spoke loudly, and Lang Lang said: "Although Yan Song's reputation is not very good, everything he said is reasonable. If I, Ming, don't realize it, sooner or later I will be delayed by a straight official like you, who will delay the country's fortune, miss the trend, and eventually cause harm. Ten thousand years!"

His remarks were supported by most enthusiastic students.

The reason why Yan Song attaches great importance to scholars is that most of these scholars are young, passionate, and more patriotic, and they are the most progressive revolutionary forces in history.With the instigation of "Theory of Sea Power", are you afraid that they will not wake up?

Zhang Juzheng's face was distorted with anger.

He is an early bloomer, proud of his youth, and he firmly believes in the knowledge of saints. How can he tolerate heresies like Wang Xijue and Shen Lian?
