It is an exaggeration of the emperor to say that there is no one like Wei Xiangshu in the imperial court. For example, Li Guangdi, who is just under his left hand, is the master of Yixue who has experienced two dynasties.
There are also Zhang Boxing, Dai Mingshi, who are currently in the court, and Xiong Cilu, Zhang Ying, and Tang Bin who were in the early years. These people are all academically successful. But when it comes to the Yuan Dynasty, there is really no Neo-Confucianism in the court. Grandmaster.
This is probably also related to the emperor's employment strategy. The first emperor of the Xi Dynasty chose masters for the princes, and the ones he chose were all well-educated Confucian scholars and masters of Neo-Confucianism. Naturally, the cabinet and the south study room would be filled with similar figures.
But Yinti preferred pragmatism. His cabinet, South Study Room, and Military Aircraft Department were filled with technical bureaucrats, such as Dai Zi. Even when choosing teachers for princes and princesses, he tended to choose outsiders like Shen Liao and Ertai. Officials, with practical experience, can give children some real-world insights.
This led to the fact that there were not many Neo-Confucian scholars in this dynasty occupying high positions, but when Yinti raised this issue, he did not really want to bring a few Neo-Confucian masters into the cabinet to cause trouble for him. He just needed his own mouthpiece. Let everyone in the court be proactive and make more recommendations to the emperor.
Yinti also felt aggrieved in his heart. I didn’t engage in literary inquisition. Why do all of you academics focus on exegesis and textual research, and pay more attention to practical application? How can you liberate your mind if you don’t make a fool of yourself!
The emperor was unhappy, and the ministers below him were also unhappy. The banner ministers who were a little ambitious lamented that there were no bannermen great scholars, and those who were not interested looked at Chengjun Prince Yinzhi. We, Chengjun Prince, were also quite knowledgeable.
The people's ministers looked at each other, and it can be said that they are quite tolerant in terms of writing nowadays. If you don't see Dai Mingshi, he would be sent to Wuying Palace to compile books. In the years since he ascended the throne, this gentleman has never made trouble with others in terms of writing.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Finally, it was Zhao Shenqiao who spoke up. Ever since his eldest son Feng Zhao was dismissed by the emperor, this old man had been actively looking for opportunities to become a loyal minister of the emperor again.
"I believe that the late emperor and the sage praised Neo-Confucianism, which was the beginning of the prosperity of culture and education in this dynasty. If the sage wants to visit famous people, I recommend Tongcheng Fang Bao!"
Li Guangdi glanced at Zhao Shenqiao in surprise. Old Zhao worked too hard and was even more shameless than himself. You must know that Fang Bao and Dai Mingshi are good friends, and Zhao Shenqiao has always disliked Dai Mingshi's group. .
But now that the emperor had spoken, Lao Zhao immediately changed his tune and recommended Fang Bao. Li Guangdi secretly laughed in his heart, this old man is shameless.
Naturally, Yinti also knew that Zhao Shenqiao, Dai Mingshi, and Fang Bao had a bit of a feud. He looked at Zhao Shenqiao with a smile and said with a smile: "Tongcheng Fang Bao has a literary reputation, I have heard of it. He is also very knowledgeable... "
The monarchs and ministers began to discuss today's culture. Yinzhi liked this topic, and he also participated. Next to him was Hong Qing. This child went to the front of the army with his ninth uncle Yinzhen, and he looked a lot more mature. .At this time, he was talking to Hong Yao beside him. Now, in their house, these two brothers are the only ones with a title.
Also sitting next to Hong Yao is Hong Hui from the Yong Wang family. In fact, all families in each government bring their eldest sons. Only two families are special. One is the Yin Rong family who caught up with their aunt's mother's funeral. Hong Min and several younger brothers None of them showed up, and Hong Jin also went home. The other one was the Chengwang Mansion, and his eldest son Hong Qing and Hong Yao all came.
In comparison, Hong Yao actually attracted more attention. This is probably because the emperor has praised Hong Yao several times recently and his brothers are also very affectionate towards Hong Yao. Hong Qing felt a little complicated. After Hong Yao returned to Beijing, he
E Niangcheng and Wang Fujin chatted with him once.
"Mom, I regret it. If I had asked you to go overseas with the second elder brother, you might have been granted the title of Baile directly. Isn't this better than your Ama asking for the title of Crown Prince for you... Sigh."
San Fujin felt a little sad when he saw Hong Yao being able to seal a baby just after he came up. According to the rules set by the late emperor and today, all the children of the clan must take exams when they grow up. Hong Yao didn't see how well he studied when he was a child, but he just followed his second elder brother.
After taking a trip, you will become a shell when you come back.
Hong Qing couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. After all, his mother-in-law was still Prince Fujin who had been in charge of the family for almost 20 years.
San Fujin just said a few words, and then immediately told his son: "Hong Yao is your brother after all, and it is a good thing for the house that he has a future. Besides, E Niang is not willing for you to take such a big risk, and it doesn't matter now."
not good."
"Your Ama told me before that the emperor saw that he would no longer reuse the clan, and the way to lead the army would be cut off in the future. For the rest, if we listen to the emperor's arrangements, maybe there will be a better one."
The slightly older clan members have begun to think about their personal destiny. Compared to them, Hong Yao, who is under Yi Ti, and Hong Tan are still at the age of having silly fun. It would be difficult for them to ask them to sit down and behave properly at the banquet.
Originally, chatting about knowledge between monarchs and ministers was considered a pleasure, but in this era, knowledge was considered an ideological issue, and as expected, people with different views started to quarrel.
The reason was that Yinzhi mentioned the Xin Xue and casually said, "When I saw the Xin Xue, I thought it was right and wanted to learn more about Wang Yangming's knowledge in the future."
"Although the study of mind flourished for a while, its roots are still not as deep and rich as Neo-Confucianism, let alone guiding people's hearts. King Cheng focused on the study of Confucian classics, which is the right way." Someone immediately raised objections.
In recent years, Yinti has felt to some extent that in the minds of orthodox scholars, if they want to find the ideological root of the decline and fall of the previous dynasty, they are willing to blame Xinxue for this.
Who let Xin Xue's power be weak? His disciples and disciples are all gone, so he can naturally take the blame at will. For example, some people think that the previous dynasty died because of Ma Diao, but there are many people who blame Ma Diao. This statement finally became a
When it comes to conversation, no one cares about it, and not many people criticize it either verbally or in writing.
The emperor was tolerant and encouraged his ministers to discuss these things. Although he still remembered the difference between monarch and minister, people would get carried away. By the end of the banquet, even people from the South Study Room, Hanlin Academy, and Wuying Palace gathered in front of the emperor. Once upon a time,
From dynasty to this dynasty, the changes over the years were discussed almost openly.
At this time, there are few banner ministers who can speak. Looking at their eyes, Yinti will understand why Emperor Shunzhi aroused so much resentment among conservatives. Because those old and stubborn banner ministers,
Feeling abandoned, the emperor began to promote literati, and the status of military men would naturally decline.
It seems that matters of knowledge need to be discussed over a long period of time, and it is not so easy to be subtle. Yinti smiled bitterly and looked at the bachelors in front of him who were blushing and thick-necked because of the debate on Neo-Confucianism. At this moment, they all lost their grace, and for the sake of the thoughts in their hearts
Academic orthodoxy is showing its teeth.
"The study of mind is not a study of managing the world and benefiting the people at all! It just allows scholars to indulge in fantasy and be unable to extricate themselves. This kind of knowledge is seeking death!"
"There's no need to say that. In those days, the princes were also good at literary and military affairs, and they were able to rule the country. Their disciples and disciples made their academic power weak, so it can't be said that they were not good at learning. If future generations fail to live up to their expectations, how can they implicate their predecessors!"
"I didn't say that the prince's knowledge was impure, I meant..."
In this way, a group of people were noisy and saliva flew, but Yin Ti was enjoying it and gained a lot. But there were also people who heard stars in their eyes, such as Hong Yu.
The second elder brother secretly asked his eldest brother Honghan: "Why are they so enthusiastic about this? How meaningful is it...aren't they all already officials?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions." Hong Han smiled and squeezed his younger brother's shoulder: "Besides, knowledge is related to the world and people's hearts. For example, the machine you brought back can save manpower and even make the people live a good life, but what happens after that?
?”
"What should a person do after he has enough to eat?" Hong Han sighed, "It's not that opening up more fields and feeding more people will solve all the problems. I'm not very good at this either.
I just want to understand, I just have some experience after going to the south."
"It's a pity that my sister is not here on such an occasion." Hong Chang looked around.
"Khan Ama also needs to consider the material discussion. What my sister did outside the customs has already attracted much attention. There is no harm in keeping a low profile." Hongyu began to have a bitter look on his face at this moment, "Don't talk about eldest sister. My third uncle saw me before.
, and also specially warned me that running errands for the imperial court is a serious matter, but I am still young and I must study hard."
"You don't know yet about our third uncle, he just likes talking..." Before Hong Han could finish speaking, two little brothers came over.
"If you don't read, don't read."
While Yinti was talking about knowledge with the ministers, Hong Yao and Hong Fang, who sneaked over, immediately expressed their opinions: "Studying is enough. We don't have to take the imperial examination. Do we really want to be the number one scholar? Third uncle is so good at reading.
He is also a scholar and is full of knowledge, but how can he be as happy as being a general?"
Hong Han looked at his brothers with a smile. The two younger ones have grown up and have their own ambitions. I wonder what they want to do in the future and whether their current ideas will change.
Last year, the imperial court's tax revenue reached 35 million taels. This year, due to the refugees' land reclamation, the imperial court allocated a considerable amount of money as subsidies. However, within five years, the land to be reclaimed will be mature, and the imperial court's tax revenue can reach a higher level.
.
There is also water and sea transportation. It seems to cost a lot of money now, but Hong Han knows that with his Ama's personality, he will definitely be able to earn it back in the future. Also, the imperial court plans to integrate foreign trade and make predictions based on the current level.
, the income in this area can double in up to two years.
With more and more money available, the things you want to do can be done one by one. Otherwise, like now, Khan Amma can only drag on the negotiations with the Oros people while fighting the Junggars first to fight for himself.
The greatest initiative.
Still short of money, Hong Han smiled bitterly, he didn’t know how expensive firewood and rice were when he became a householder, but he couldn’t save a penny of the money he should have spent. The eldest brother, who was only twenty years old, suddenly felt the heavy burden on his shoulders, and even understood what "
Feeding the family”.
This is indeed gratifying.
The author has something to say: Ma Diao means playing mahjong, and the Ming Dynasty died in Ma Diao. This is also a long-standing saying. It reflects the trend at that time. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the generals went out to fight, and sent servants home overnight to get things, but they forgot
I brought mahjong tiles...
