Lin Yanchao's debate at the scripture banquet has been known to everyone in the capital since it was published in the newspapers and periodicals of the scripture mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Di copy was originally the main and even the only way for officials and scholars to understand the imperial decrees and trends.

The debate between Lin Yanchao and Zhou Ziyi and his ministers was recorded in the copy, and many officials and ordinary people had seen it.

Moreover, the famous Confucian debate is something that officials and scholars of this era are interested in, coupled with Lin Sanyuan's reputation and the status of Zhou Ziyi, a great master of science, this kind of debate itself has its own topicality. In the past ten days, officials and scholars have really had a great discussion on Lin Yanchao's learning.

Those who praise it, this merit can get rid of the shortcomings of Cheng Zhu's science, and it is a true insight in Confucianism that can carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.

Those who oppose it are far from Cheng Zhu's intentions and are suspected of deviance.

Good speculators, this is the imperial court to test public opinion, and whitewash the words of the law, and sing praises for Zhang Juzheng, especially 'the inner saint does not need the outer king' is simply tailor-made for Zhang Juzheng.

Those who are good at drilling camps have already figured out from the debate that the imperial court may have to reuse the ministers of the merit school, so as to study the Yongjia school, prepare for the township test next year, and take it out to try their luck in the next year.

And this time, the joint impeachment of several ministers has raised this topic to a higher level.

On the second day after being impeached, Lin Yanchao was resting, so he simply stayed at home, and did not see any guests, and then he sent Sun Chengzong, Xu Huobo, Chen Jichuan, etc. together, went to the teahouse, and listened to the news in the hall.

In the afternoon, Sun Chengzong, Xu Huobo, and Chen Jichuan all came back, and they also brought two guests.

The two guests are Liu Zhen and Lu Yicheng.

They are all Lin Yanchao's fellow villagers, and they have all gone to the Wanli eight-year examination together.

Now Lu Yicheng has been admitted to the Jinshi and is working as an errand in the pedestrian department, while Liu Zhen continues to fall in the first place and is preparing for the examination in a year.

At this sensitive juncture, Lin Yanchao didn't see anyone, but met his two fellow countrymen.

It turns out that it is not wrong at all to rely on my fellow villagers when I am away from home.

Lu Yicheng was appreciated by the officials because of Lin Yanchao, and he has always been grateful for his kindness since becoming a Beijing official, and at the same time, because of the relationship between hometown friendship and annual friendship, the two have always been very close.

As for Liu Zhenhui's failed test, Lin Yanchao looked at his fellow villagers and lent him money to let him continue to study and prepare for the exam, and Liu Zhen was even more grateful to Lin Yanchao.

For them, this moment is an opportunity to give back.

Lu Yicheng said first: "Zonghai, I walked around the court today, I have inquired for you, the government and the opposition have not reacted violently to this, in our Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon for officials to be famous for impeachment and impeachment. It is not uncommon for everyone to see which official does not impeach people and which official does not get impeached. ”

"It's just that this time is special, several are serious Confucians, so everyone has to pay attention, the most famous of several ministers is Ma Ziming, the imperial history of Huguang Dao, the last time he impeached Wang Yangcheng, the secretary of the ministry, saying that he is disrespectful to the old, a pear flower pressed begonia, and he married a concubine in his seventies."

"There is also a member of the Criminal Department, Wailang Ke Shouzheng, who does not mix a grain of sand under his eyes, and wrote more than 70 books to the Son of Heaven last year, which can be called the second in Haigang Peak."

"The other is Wu Zhong, the commentator of Dali Temple, who is a protégé of Zhou Saijiu, and is suspected of communiqué personal vendetta."

After listening to Lu Yicheng, everyone laughed.

Lin Yanchao also nodded.

Lu Yicheng continued: "Anyone who goes to the book, usually nothing, everyone just uses it as a joke, such as Ma Yushi's impeachment of Wang Tianguan and his concubine, everyone hears that there is such a thing, Tianguan is too low-key, hurry up, prepare a generous gift if you don't give a gift, this is a good opportunity to drill the camp." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

It's just that this book is written together, and many ministers think that they seem to be making a big fuss. After all, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not say anything at the banquet, and you were also at the banquet at the time, so why didn't you argue with Zhuang Yuanlang on the spot, and only then did you impeach him, which was inevitably suspected of being famous. ”

After listening to Lu Yicheng, Lin Yanchao nodded, not caring about himself, but Lu Yicheng, everyone has made a lot of progress in the past few years, Lu Yicheng used to stammer, and he lacked confidence in encountering problems, but after two years of training in officialdom, he has become a lot more active and has become able to speak well.

Officialdom is really the place where people can be honed the most.

Then Liu Zhen said: "We are different, we have inherited the teachings of the saints for many years, and we will try it soon, and we are not so enthusiastic about the work and the things in the court." A few days ago, I attended a literary meeting, and the title of the literary meeting was 'Zi said: "Advanced in Lile, savages also; After entering the courtesy, the gentleman also. If you use it, then I will be advanced. ’”

This sentence is familiar to everyone present, that is, Confucius expounded the principle of 'learning and excellence in the Analects'.

The gist is that the children of ordinary people first learn etiquette and music and then become officials, and the second generation of officials is to become officials first and then learn etiquette and music.

Liu Zhen continued: "During the literary meeting, everyone said that the words of Confucius Sage were to study first and then become a scholar, that is, to be a saint first and then to be a king, to be rational first and then to work, not to be unsuccessful. Zhuangyuan Gong advocated meritorious service in the court, because he has become an official, and now what he is seeking is not to read and reason, but to learn to do things, of course, it can be said, but I and other scholars must first seek reason, and learning and excellence is the right way, of course, it is the way of Cheng Zhu first, and the two do not conflict. ”

After hearing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a feeling of 'the back waves of the Yangtze River retreating before the waves', for these young lifters, he really wanted to send a capital 'suit'.

What a scholar is best at is to find a truth between two seemingly opposing examples, which makes sense on both sides.

For example, if your parents are here, you don't travel far, but if you are an official and used by the Son of Heaven, you have to be thousands of miles away from home. How to choose between loyalty and filial piety? Loyalty or filial piety?

If the examiner comes up with such a question to test people, and then don't say lift people, even a child will look up to the sky and laugh, this is simply a score question. Such an article does not think twice, let's pick it up and write it down on the spot. 'Filial piety is filial piety, Shijun is loyal, filial piety is only one family, and loyalty is filial piety to the world. Filial piety of loyalists? Really great filial piety. ’

For most of the people who are dedicated to the imperial examination, whether Lin Yanchao and Zhou Ziyi are right or not is not important to them, the important thing is to find a way that is right on both sides, if the examiner comes up with this question in the future, we will not panic.

After Liu Zhen finished speaking, it was Sun Chengzong's turn and Xu Huobo.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "The students are similar, but there are also differences, my court members like to hear about things, and they are even more concerned about the affairs of the court." (To be continued.) )
