Chapter 56 Jiangnan, where the literary style flourished
After traveling thousands of miles to Longchang, Guizhou, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital. In addition, Liu Jin even sent people to intercept and kill him. Wang Yangming was afraid that if something happened to him, he might never see his father and son again in his life.
Therefore, it is only natural for Wang Yangming to want to meet his father before taking office.
Although Liu Jin's crisis has been resolved now, and with Chu Yi taking care of him in the court, there is hope for him to return to the capital. However, Wang Yangming has made up his mind that even if Liu Jin falls in the future, he will not use Chu Yi's relationship to return to the capital.
Rely on your own political achievements to go back.
Although Chu Yi didn't know what Wang Yangming was thinking, he had no plans to transfer him back to the capital immediately.
After all, Chu Yi knew that people like Wang Yangming were not able to do favors easily. If he transferred Wang Yangming back, it is very likely that Wang Yangming would not be grateful, but would actually hate him.
The most important thing is that Wang Yangming was exiled to Longchang, Guizhou. Longchang was still an uncivilized area at that time, with "thousands of mountains and thin forests, and Miao and Liao people living together." Wang Yangming was not discouraged, and civilized and taught the locals according to their customs, and was loved by the people.
During this period, he had a new understanding of the central idea of "The Great Learning" and realized that "the way of the sage is that our nature is self-sufficient, and it is wrong to seek truth from things." It was also during this period that he wrote "Dogma"
Showing all life in Longchang", historically known as Longchang Enlightenment.
The three years of exile were definitely an important period of transformation in Wang Yangming's life. Perhaps without these three years, there would not have been the great saint Yangming who later concentrated on studying.
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "It just so happens that Mr. Chu is also going to Nanjing City on this trip, why not Mr. Ruo and Mr. Chu go together!"
Wang Yangming was slightly startled and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Governor!"
With Chu Yi and his entourage here, even those in Jinyiwei are unwilling to do anything and may not be able to attack him again.
The group headed straight for Nanjing City. On the way, Chu Yi signaled to Yang Shen several times. Originally, Chu Yi planned to recommend Yang Shen to become a disciple of Wang Yangming.
However, Yang Shen didn't seem to have this intention, and Chu Yi didn't force him when he saw this. After all, apprenticeship was a matter of mutual consent, so he couldn't force Yang Shen to become an apprentice.
Nanjing City is also known as Jinling, and together with the capital Beijing, one south and one north are known as the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty.
Nanjing has a complete set of six-bu yamen. Although it merged with Beijing to form the second capital of the Ming Dynasty, they are also six-bu yamen, but there is a huge difference in power between the two.
Among the six ministries in Nanjing, almost all of them lost official power and were sent to Nanjing to serve. At least half of them were used to support those officials in their retirement years.
Those who are truly ambitious will never choose to end their lives in Nanjing Liubu.
Of course, no matter what, Nanjing is one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be the heart of the south of the Yangtze River. It governs more than a dozen prefectures in southern Zhili. Among the six bureaus in Nanjing, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War are not weak in power.
The Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for collecting taxes and grains from Southern Zhili and Zhejiang, Anhui, and Huguang provinces, accounting for almost half of the taxes and grains in the Ming Dynasty. It is also responsible for water transportation, national salt diversion and collection, and the collection and management of national yellow books.
The Nanjing Ministry of War is responsible for the garrison in Nanjing, with 49 guards under its jurisdiction. The Minister of the Ministry of War, together with the garrison eunuchs and Nanjing garrison nobles, jointly manage Nanjing affairs.
Nanjing is indeed the center of the Yangtze River. It can be said to be prosperous, above the official level, with people coming and going. This kind of scene will never be seen in ordinary cities.
Chu Yi and his party entered Nanjing City and walked along the streets. Since they were in Nanjing City, it was impossible for Chu Yi not to go and meet the guard eunuch Fan Heng.
In recent years, through his relationship with Chu Yi, Fan Heng got a good job, guarding Nanjing, and lived a very happy life. It can be regarded as his promotion of Chu Yi back then, sowing good karma and reaping good results.
As one of the most powerful people in the city of Nanjing, in this land of beauty and beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, Fan Heng has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the past two years. He only feels that most of his life has been wasted. If he had known this,
If so, why was he still competing with Wang Yue in Da Nei?
However, just two days ago, Fan Heng's mood took a turn for the worse. When the news of the Songyang murder case came out, Fan Heng could hardly think about food or drink, and his days felt like years.
It wasn't that Fan Heng had such a good relationship with Chu Yi that he was so worried about Chu Yi. He was just worried that if Chu Yi fell out of favor in front of the emperor, he would not have such a leisurely life in the future.
Who doesn't know that he and Chu Yi are like grasshoppers on a rope. It is with Chu Yi's back that he can secure his position as Nanjing's garrison eunuch.
Otherwise, how could such an important place be put in charge of such an important place as a washed-up old eunuch?
Fortunately, news came from Beijing not long ago that the emperor had greatly rewarded Chu Yi and Liu Jin, which finally made Fan Heng's heart fall into his belly.
The Nanjing Zhongguan Guards Mansion is where Fan Heng usually works and lives. At this time, in front of this mansion, there was a dark atmosphere. At least a hundred scholars gathered together, and these scholars cursed loudly.
"Eunuch, get out of here and pay for Chen Yuan's death..."
"Old thief Fan, you are Chu thief's confidant, come out and die quickly!"
When Wu Ang was beaten to death by a cane, a number of students from Songyang Academy were deprived of their academic honors, and news came that Chu Yi and Liu Jin were generously rewarded. As the cultural center of Jiangnan, countless scholars in Nanjing were in an uproar.
The first person to bear the brunt was Fan Heng, who was the garrison eunuch. However, Fan Heng used Chu Yi's name to show off his power on weekdays. In the eyes of many scholars in Nanjing, Fan Heng was Chu Yi's confidant.
It is reasonable that Fan Hengzhi's mansion was attacked. If there were not soldiers guarding the mansion, these soldiers would have already rushed into the garrison.
Fan Heng was furious and smashed a tea cup to pieces. Listening to the curses of the scholars gathered in front of the mansion, Fan Heng slapped the table angrily and screamed: "They deserve to be killed, these scholars really deserve to be killed..."
It's a pity that Fan Heng can only shout at most. If he is really asked to kill those scholars, he really doesn't dare.
What kind of place is this, the land south of the Yangtze River, where almost half of the literati and poets gather here? If he dares to imitate Chu Yi and attack the distinguished scholars, these scholars will definitely put him in a dilemma of life and death.
The great eunuch Li Ying whispered to Fan Heng: "Sir, do you want me to send someone..."
Fan Heng, who was in a bad mood, immediately glared at the eunuch and said, "If you want to die, don't hold me back. What are those outside the door? It's just one or two. Now that so many people are gathered together, you
If you really think that you are the governor of Chu, Jian Zai is in the heart of the emperor, and you can go on a killing spree!"
The big eunuch said with a look of longing: "Supervisor Chu is really a role model for us. In the Songyang murder case, more than ten students were killed in a row. Not only did your Majesty not punish him, he even gave him gold and a python robe as a reward!"
Fan Heng sighed. He favored Chu Yi back then just because he wanted to have a good relationship. He had trained more than one young eunuch like Chu Yi. He never expected that Chu Yi would have such a good opportunity.
Jane is in the emperor's heart, and even he is under his care.
The noise outside the mansion can be heard clearly even in the backyard. As Fan Heng's confidant, the eunuch Li Yingdao said: "These people even dare to besiege the official residence. If Governor Chu is here,
, I really don’t know if those people outside the door dare to be so arrogant."
Fan Heng snorted coldly and said: "Then it depends on who is tougher, their neck or the blade of the governor!"
While Fan Heng and Li Ying were discussing Chu Yi, Chu Yi and his party were rushing towards the garrison official's residence.
The Six Ministries of Nanjing and the official residence of the garrison were in the same area. Wang Yangming went to visit his father, so naturally he went with Chu Yi.
Several people had already abandoned their horses and walked on foot. Whether it was Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, or Yang Shen, they all had extraordinary bearings, and they often attracted people's attention when walking on the street.
Chu Yi looked at the bustling scene of Nanjing. From time to time he could see scholars in robes walking together. He couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that the literary style in Jiangnan is at its peak. When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved."
