Next is Wang Xueshizi of Guizhou, that is, Wang Yangming’s school of thought in Longchang, Guizhou.
Ran Zongkong, Hu Xueli, Tian Weian and others came to see me politely. Everyone looked very healthy and strong, and they were in no way related to weak scholars.
There are also several others who also look like normal people.
They were all natives of Guizhou. At this time, they were figures in Qianzhong Wangxue. They studied under Li Wei, a famous scholar of mind science.
Wang Hongyu met them one by one, and Wang Zheng guided everyone and exchanged greetings with them.
The finale was a fifty-year-old scribe with an extraordinary temperament. The scribes from Nangao Academy and Guizhou Wangxue paid attention to him and respected him.
The scribe greeted Wang Hongyu and said, "Your Excellency, Li Tingqian, I have long heard that General Wang is a young hero. When we meet today, I really feel that Southwest is lucky and Ming Dynasty is lucky."
Ai Youlan quickly recommended that this Li Tingqian is the son of Li Wei, a famous scholar in Wangxue, and is currently an assistant teacher at Guizhou Imperial College.
Everyone started chatting freely in front of Yun County, and they couldn't talk without Li Wei and Zou Yuanbiao.
Zou Yuanbiao was an acquaintance of Wang Hongyu, but Li Wei didn't know him well either in his previous life or at this time.
After listening for a while, I learned that Li Wei, as a famous scholar of Wang School, developed Wang Shouren's "putting action first" to integrate knowledge and action. He also emphasized action and believed that knowledge is based on action. He paid great attention to labor and social reality. .
It is proposed that "one should act on one's words first, and act before knowing and speaking."
This obviously had a beneficial impact on the atmosphere of scholar-bureaucrats.
It also helps Wang Hongyu to deduce that material, production, practice, experiment and objective relationships are the basis, and consciousness, politics, theory, arguments and subjective analysis are based on the former.
In theoretical terms, Wang Yangming's subjective idealism was very strong, and although Li Wei was a famous scholar in Wang's studies, he promoted the study of mind towards "practical mind-centered learning".
Of course it is more in line with Wang Hongyu’s cognitive concepts.
Of course, some of Li Wei's theories can easily be distorted and used to hinder development. For example, Li Wei proposed "clear the way", "not wanting", and benevolent for the people. In fact, he focused on scholars, landlords were simple, and court officials should not work hard. civil.
However, some literati who are good at criticizing and taking quotes out of context will use it to hinder industry and commerce, thinking that industry and commerce violate undesirable ethics. Others use this to criticize the court, believing that the government should not do anything and should be pragmatic.
This is exactly the opposite of Li Wei's pragmatism, which especially regards "action" as more important than "knowledge".
Taking quotes out of context can often create inconsistencies. Sometimes it depends on what he does, not how he says it.
These Guizhou scribes have nothing to do with Wang Hongyu, a martial arts scholar in Zunyi.
But Ai Youzhi told them that the court was "full of people" and everyone was thinking about the stability of the southwest. It was this young man from the southwest who tried every means to persuade everyone to beware of the unrest in the southwest.
There are rumors that he was the one who prompted Emperor Wanli to establish the post of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
In addition, when he later gave up the comfort of the capital and decided to go to Yunyang to contact the Sichuan Army, Shizhu, and Youyang, these Guizhou nobles all saw it.
They firmly believe in Li Wei's theory of attaching great importance to "action", and have been paying close attention to Wang Hongyu's affairs for more than a year.
In the end, like Zou Yuanbiao and Ai Youzhi, they all drifted away from the Donglin Party, which changed its tune after taking charge of the court. They scorned Yuan Yingtai and his like, and instead identified with the young warrior.
For Guizhou scribes, Mr. Wang Yangming, who attained enlightenment in Longchang, never despised military generals and eunuchs. Now these literati are superior to others. Are they even better than Wang Yangming?
】
Everyone sees clearly.
From outside the county town to Wang Hongyu's newly opened hotel, we talked about academia, bookshops and libraries.
As soon as we sat down at the dining table and saw that there were no other outsiders, the former scribes became a little quieter and more serious.
Wang Hongyu saw the changes in everyone, and knew in his heart that they were gathering in such a large group to exchange academic knowledge and visit the library as a public excuse. The real reason... must be about the situation that is about to happen.
"You all have come from afar. I, Wang Hongyu, would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
He was not in a hurry, and talked slowly and little by little to see what this visitor from Guizhou was thinking.
Wang Zheng, Qiao Jibai and others are all on their own and will not speak in a hurry.
The former is keen on technology and translation and has nothing to say about the situation. Although the latter is a celebrity and is also paying close attention to the situation in the southwest, he is still a child after all and is embarrassed to speak in front of many seniors.
Finally it was Ai Youlan. He looked at the time and it was almost time. He took a sip of tea and said with a worried look: "General Wang, the changes in the She'an family are becoming more and more obvious. I'm afraid a war is inevitable."
Lu Delong then added: "Since April, the She family has almost blatantly purchased horses and supplies, and the Shuixi An family has also recruited people under its command for training."
Wang Hongyu thought to himself, as expected, everyone in Guizhou was very worried about the She'an family in front of them, and this was the main purpose of coming to him.
Qiao Jibai asked: "How are the governors of Guizhou and Sichuan coping at present?"
Lu Delong clenched his fist and beat the gum: "Oh, some mediocre officials just want to cover up the situation and send people to give rewards and appease them!"
Everyone else was also disappointed with the current local officials, so almost everyone went out to find Wang Hongyu.
Qiao Jibai sighed: "I didn't expect that the place would be like this after my grandfather died of illness."
Li Tingqian, who had the highest status among the visitors, also sighed: "After Mr. Qiao Bixing resigned, a group of accomplished officials were also pushed out and resigned. This was the case with Zhou Dunji and General Zhang Shenwu."
Speaking of the two of them, Wang Hongyu certainly had to answer: "More than a year ago, the She family assassinated me repeatedly in an attempt to prevent me from going north to join my eldest brother Zhou Dunji and second brother Zhang Shenwu. At that time, they bribed the local people and the court. among some officials.
Now more than a year has passed, and the elite troops of Sichuan, Shizhu, and Youyang are heading north, and they will definitely become more arrogant. That is why the emperor specially arranged for the last general to come here to bury his eldest brother, recruit veterans, and train a strong army to prepare for emergencies."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Everyone was pleased that Emperor Tianqi paid attention to this matter, and they knew in their hearts that Zou Yuanbiao, Wang Hongyu and others must have made a lot of efforts for this.
Wang Hongyu felt that the time was almost here: "The general has informed your majesty to prepare the surrounding areas for deterrence and war to deal with the She family and the An family. Blind concessions and appeasements will only encourage their ambitions. It will take the strength of the Ming Dynasty to make them dare not act rashly.
However, these ambitious people sometimes don’t know where the sky is and they are very likely to forcefully raise troops to cause rebellion. The general is preparing to enter Sichuan, and the surrounding friendly forces have contacted him. I happen to have you here in Guizhou, and we can discuss the current situation in Guizhou and Sichuan."
Li Tingqian, Ai Youlan, Lu Delong, Ran Zongkong and others began to discuss the situation in recent years.
I don’t know if I don’t discuss it, and I feel very sad when I discuss it.
