Chapter 233: Great Confucian He Wenyuan
It was precisely because the goal could not be achieved that Junko openly appeared in women's clothes and walked out of the ranks of the Japanese envoys. I also heard that there were delicacies in the fairy house that were not outside, and there were songs and dances that were not available outside, so I was curious and wanted to see what was going on.
Junko, who inherited the advantages of her parents, although she is only fifteen years old, stands like the brightest star in the crowd at this time, and she can't be ignored by everyone.
"Heavy news, heavy news, Zhongda's public opening of the Yang Family Academy has aroused the dissatisfaction of some ministers. Just now, headed by Lord He Wenyuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, more than a dozen Confucians and ministers went straight to Yangjiazhuang to discuss the law. There was a sudden earth-shattering shout from the crowd, which made many men who had originally focused on Junko instantly shift their thoughts.
Who is Yang Chendong? I don't think I need to introduce too much, but there is no one who doesn't know about coming here. Whether it is the Immortal Residence, the Outer Heavens, or the Yang Family Bank, they are all the handicraft of this person. This idol, which is worshiped by many young people, is now being asked for trouble, which is definitely big news and a rare thing.
The people who got the news, in line with the idea of watching the excitement and watching the play, hurriedly went to the south of the city one by one, they wanted to see how Dongshuai faced He Wenyuan and other ministers of the DPRK and the Confucian scholars.
At this moment, not only did the queue for eating outside instantly decrease a lot, but many of the diners who were still eating in the immortal residence also came out, making the originally crowded street instantly empty.
Many people left, and those who stayed were particularly conspicuous. Among them was Junko and several of her guards.
"Kobayashi-kun, are they going to see Dongshuai?" Speaking a little lame Chinese, Junzi's crisp voice like a yellow warbler rang out.
Among the guards, a young man with a mustache still had a serious expression on his face, looking in all directions. After hearing Junko's voice, he immediately turned around and lowered his head a little heavily, "Princess, they are indeed going to see Dongshuai." According to the information we have obtained, Dongshuai does not live in Jingshi, but in Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city. ”
"Yangjiazhuang? Junko also wants to check it out. With a hint of longing in her eyes, Junko said in a moving voice.
"This..."Xiao Lin heard the princess's request, and his face showed hesitation. Among the Jingshi, the princess's safety is still guaranteed, but once he gets out of here, he really doesn't dare to guarantee it.
Without hearing Kobayashi's exact answer, an innocent smile flashed across Junko's face, "What's wrong?" Is Kobayashi-kun not confident in his own strength? My father has already said that Kobayashi-kun is the best of our young generation in Japan, and even the guards around my father are not very strong. ”
Junko's affirmative voice came into Xiao Lin's ears, and he saw that his body suddenly stopped, and this moment seemed to have become much taller, "Okay, even if the princess has intentions, of course Xiao Lin will fulfill this wish, so let's go now." ”
"Okay, hard work Kobayashi-kun." After the clever plan succeeded, Junzi returned to her original green and ink face, as if the girl who was begging for someone just now was not herself.
......
Outside Yangjiazhuang.
He Wenyuan and several other great Confucians were standing in the square fifty meters away from the village. None of them were wearing official uniforms, apparently to question Yang Chendong in an unofficial capacity.
It's not that He Wenyuan and others don't know how to overwhelm people. On the contrary, it was precisely because they knew Yang Chendong's exploits and knew that this was the loyal and courageous prince of the emperor himself, so they gave up showing their official status. It's really their identity that they really can't make Yang Chendong take the initiative to make any concessions.
Yang Si and Yang Liu were standing fifty meters away from He Wenyuan and the others. They stared intently at everything in front of them, at the great Confucians and the crowd behind them.
It is not too much to describe it as a sea of people, but it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 people who come to see the excitement, and when they all stand there, the official road has long been crowded with people, and some of them who want to see the excitement have to stand on the side of the roadside ditch.
Since this became Yangjiazhuang, there has not been such a lively time. When Yang Chendong got married, although there were many guests, there were not more than a thousand, where was it like this time, it was so lively, which naturally made Yang Si and Yang Liu, who were in charge of the security of the outer courtyard, a little nervous.
In the crowd, Junko also came here under the protection of Kobayashi and others. I have to say that many times, money is still very useful. When Xiao Lin took out some broken silver, he quickly let some of the Ming people who had come to stand in the front row to watch the excitement give up the best position. It also allowed Junko to stand in the most advantageous position and watch this foreign literati battle.
He Wenyuan and the others came very early, but they didn't rush to say anything, in order to wait for Yang Chendong to embarrass Yang Chendong when there were many witnesses.
Now that the people have been focused, after He Wenyuan and the others glanced at each other, they reached an agreement, and finally it was this Lord Zuo Lang who stepped forward and said to Yang Si and Yang Liu, who were fifty meters away: "Is the loyal and courageous man such a big shelf?" I've been here for a long time, why haven't I seen it, is it because I'm afraid? ”
"Afraid? How could our grandfather be afraid of you scholars? Yang Si took a step forward with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Our grandfather has a lot of opportunities, and there are many things that need to be done, so there is no time to waste on you and others." If there's nothing important, let's go back. ”
was despised by a family member, how could He Wenyuan's generation of Confucianism look good. But after all, he has been an official for many years, and his face has already been cultivated, and his anger is only for a moment, and he quickly calmed down, and asked rhetorically, "You say that we are scholars, but the loyal and courageous prince looks down on the world's scholars?" ”
Suddenly, he was countered by an army and caught a slip of the tongue, Yang Si's face sank, he wanted to refute something, but he didn't know where to start. After all, using his fists is his forte, and he is much worse than several great Confucians.
Seeing the anger on Yang Si's face, but when he didn't know how to answer, He Wenyuan looked up to the sky and roared, as if he had won the victory and done something very happy.
"Grandpa has arrived!"
At this moment, a shouting sound like a huge thunder sounded, and Yang Chendong, who was dressed in green clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand, came from far and near under the protection of Hu Mang and Yang Er and others.
Although it was just a seemingly casual green clothes, as Yang Chendong's footsteps continued to approach, a rushing pressure also swept towards He Wenyuan and several other great Confucians. Even the people who were closer to them also had a sense of depression, as if what was coming from the opposite side was not a group of people, but a desolate beast.
Yang Chendong is always like this, which will bring different feelings to different people. As a friend, it is warm as the sun; As an enemy, it is like a raging storm.
"When did Bengong say that he looked down on scholars? Scholars are a part of this society, just like farmers, businessmen and workers, they can create value and contribute to the progress of this society, and they are all worthy of respect. Before the people arrived, the voice came out first, and just one sentence attracted the loud applause of the people who watched the excitement.
Looking at the lively people, most of them are farmers, businessmen and workers, Yang Chendong just said a word, which aroused everyone's consensus, and he also instantly changed his role and became the spokesperson of these people, so how could it not arouse everyone's favor?
But He Wenyuan, who also heard this, had a much uglier face. Whether others heard it or not, they heard it very clearly, that is, this loyal duke compared peasants and merchants with workers and scholars, and from this point of view, it was inevitable that they would be dissatisfied.
During the Ming Dynasty, not everyone could go to study and had the opportunity to study.
First, the cost of studying is high, and you need to ask a good gentleman to teach you, which costs money.
Second, scholars also pay attention to the distinction between disciples, if there is no good family background, it is difficult to have any way out after reading books without recommending them, and often can only do the work of writing letters to people and the account clerk, which is also difficult to be looked down upon.
Third, the proportion of scholars who eventually become talents and become scholars is relatively small, and many people may have read books for a lifetime, and it is difficult to mix up the identity of a showman until they die.
It costs money and time, and it may not lead to good results. This makes it impossible for the majority of the people to afford it. There are statistics in the history books that the proportion of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was not even one percent, that is to say, it was difficult to find an average of one scholar in a hundred people, which made their status more and more noble. Yang Chendong classifies them with ordinary people, and it is no wonder that they are angry and do not give a good face.
"Loyalty? This official knows that you are good at words, and I also know that you have some talents, especially the talent for storytelling is very accessible, but the opening of the academy is not just a few absurd and fabricated stories, that will only mislead people's children, do you know? He Wenyuan was smart and did not distinguish anything with Yang Chendong in terms of the status of a scholar, but pointed to the point, saying that Yang Chendong's ability was limited and he was not qualified for such a big thing as opening an academy.
"My father doesn't know." Yang Chendong waited for He Wenyuan's voice to fall, and then shook his head very dryly, "This father only knows that teaching and educating people is a matter of great virtue, so that the people of the world can know more words and know more knowledge is the way to goodness." In order to achieve this purpose, the public does not charge a penny of tuition, but also two meals to eat, if the student is outstanding, the public will also recommend a suitable position for him, so that he can glorify his ancestors, and the court. ”
