Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the twelfth year of Hongzhi has come. The twelfth year of Hongzhi is 1499 AD. A lot of things happened in history in this year. In the imperial examination in Year Yiwei, Tang Bohu, a famous talent in history, fell into the imperial examination.
While working on the case, he ushered in the darkest moment in his life.
Lun Wenxu, the famous number one scholar in Guangdong history, passed the exam in this year and was proud of all the talents; and Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming, who were later known as the first thinkers, military strategists and masters of mental studies in the Ming Dynasty, also finally passed the exam.
Become a Jinshi.
"Finally, I got to meet the famous Tang Bohu in history."
Listening to the sound of New Year's firecrackers, Liu Jin's mind recalled what happened in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and his mind was also filled with many expectations for Tang Bohu.
Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, could not be more familiar with the name Tang Bohu. Because of the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" written by classmate Zhou Xingxing, Tang Bohu's name is almost unknown to everyone.
Even for many people, everyone knows Tang Bohu and King Ning, but they may not know who the emperor at this time is. This shows how resounding Tang Bohu's name is.
Liu Jin was even thinking about whether he should ask Tang Bohu for a painting after meeting him. Maybe he could keep it for future generations and sell it for a lot of money.
Of course, the Tang Bohu in history was far less handsome than in the Xingye movies. In fact, it was quite the opposite. The Tang Bohu in history was very downtrodden. In the second half of his life, he made a living by selling calligraphy and painting, and hung out in brothels.
Tang Bohu was really talented, and the famous talents in history are naturally not just fake. Last year, in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Tang Bohu ranked first in the Yingtianfu Township Examination.
But Tang Bohu was a rather frivolous person, especially after he got first place in the provincial examination and defeated Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion, he became even more dissolute.
After receiving a Jie Yuan, he wrote poems and boasted that he would have three strategies and it was not an ancient poem. Why should God boast about it? It meant that a small Jinshi was nothing. He wanted to challenge the highest honor of ancient scholars - winning three yuan in a row.
In fact, Tang Bohu's downfall was due to his frivolity. As soon as the examination in the Yiwei year of the twelfth year of Hongzhi ended, he went around bragging that the first place in the examination this time would definitely be his.
It turned out to be unintentional, but it sounded intentional, and it happened that he and his fellow countryman Xu Jing went to visit his fellow countryman Cheng Minzheng from the current dynasty, and Cheng Minzheng was one of the examiners for the 12th annual examination of Hongzhi.
The Ministry of Household Affairs issued a paper of impeachment to Zhonghuaxiang, which directly threw Tang Bohu into the abyss. Although no evidence was found afterwards, Tang Bohu was demoted to a minor official by Emperor Hongzhi and was not allowed to serve as an official.
Being demoted to a minor official and unable to serve as an official, for the arrogant Tang Bohu, it was better to kill him, so he refused to take office. After returning to his hometown, he and his wife had a falling out and divorced his wife.
In addition, his family was in decline, he lost his ambition and traveled far away, and he got a serious illness, which took a long time to be cured. In the end, he had to make a living by selling calligraphy and painting, and indulged in drinking and sex.
It can be said that Tang Bohu made several wrong steps in succession on key points in his life. First, he should not have been complacent. He was so awesome and arrogant when he came first in the provincial examination. In fact, his ranking in the examination in the 12th year of Hongzhi was not the same.
Not high, the first place was Lun Wenxu from Guangdong. Lun Wenxu also won the first place in the palace examination and became the number one scholar in the twelfth year of Hongzhi.
Of course, this is nothing. Since ancient times, talented people with some talents are basically arrogant. He should not make friends with Xu Jing. Compared with him, Tang Bohu, Xu Jing is far behind.
Maybe he really didn't have any real talents, so he thought about visiting Cheng Minzheng, a fellow countryman at that time, and wanted to see if he could go through the back door or something.
Because he made mistakes one after another at critical times and key points, this great talent eventually became depressed, but he became a famous painter in history.
"Tang Bohu probably hasn't come to the capital yet, but Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming are in the capital at this time. Do you want to pay a visit to this outstanding person who knows everything?"
Thinking of Tang Bohu, Liu Jin thought of Wang Shouren again.
In fact, although Tang Bohu was talented, with his character, even if he did not have the imperial examination questions in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, he would fail sooner or later if he could become an official. If a person is too arrogant and arrogant, he will eventually suffer.
In contrast, although Wang Shouren is not as well-known as Tang Bohu, Wang Shouren is a real master, as can be seen from the evaluations given to him by later generations.
He is known as the most outstanding thinker, military strategist and master of mind science in the Ming Dynasty. His famous saying of studying things to gain knowledge is still respected even in later generations.
There is no good or disgusting body, there are good and evil actions, knowing good and evil is liangzhi, doing good and eliminating evil is qingwu!
These four famous quotes on the study of mind have integrated the essence of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. This is why he is regarded as the master of the study of mind.
If Tang Bohu is just being arrogant, then Wang Shouren is really awesome. His thoughts and theories have had a profound impact on later generations. There are too many celebrities in history who admire him highly.
Liu Jin has naturally admired such an awesome person for a long time and has wanted to get to know him for a long time.
It's just that Liu Jin has been busy everywhere and has no time to make friends in the capital. Therefore, it has been almost two years since he traveled back in time and Liu Jin has not had the opportunity to get to know this awesome man.
Now that the Chinese New Year is over and the Spring Festival Examination will be held soon, Liu Jin is also wondering if he can find time to visit Wang Shouren, get to know this outstanding person in history, and see if he can get an autograph or something.
Wang Shouren is here in the capital at this time, because his father Wang Hua is also an outstanding person. Wang Hua was the number one scholar in the 17th year of Chenghua. When he became an official, he eventually became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. No matter where he was placed in the dynasty, this was also
He is definitely a great person.
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign, Wang Hua had already moved to Zhan Shi's Mansion to serve as Young Master Zhan Shi. Zhan Shi's Mansion was an institution specially designed to tutor the prince. In other words, these people in Zhan Shi's Mansion were selected by the emperor to serve as a team for the future emperor.
The kind with a bright future.
Wang Shouren followed his father Wang Hua, who was also living in the capital at this time. If he wanted to see Wang Shouren, Liu Jin could go and visit directly.
"Forget it, I always feel very empty when meeting such an awesome person. Let it take its course. Since we are going to take part in the examination together, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet him then."
However, Liu Jin soon felt a little empty again. Facing such a great man was even more empty than facing Emperor Hongzhi. In the eyes of Liu Jin, a time traveler from later generations, Emperor Hongzhi was just like that. He had better reincarnation skills, so he became the emperor.
The emperor.
But an outstanding person like Wang Shouren is completely different. He is truly outstanding. He is a thinker who shines in ancient and modern times, and people have to admire him.
There have been very few people who can be called thinkers since ancient times, and those who can reach the height of Wang Shouren are even rarer. It takes hundreds of years for one to appear.
It can be said that after Wang Shouren, from the middle and late Ming Dynasty until the Qing Dynasty, and even into later generations, there was no thinker as outstanding as Wang Shouren in the entire land of China.
This is not a boast, but a fact. He is such an awesome person.
