Chapter 38: How to Divide the Weight with the King (11)

As Han Gang's words came out, Song Yongchen's brows furrowed.

He had accompanied the prince to study, and listened to Cheng Hao's lectures with his own ears - this was an order issued by the emperor and the empress, asking him and several other chamberlains to confirm Cheng Hao's lecture level and come back to report - Chunde gentleman, like a spring breeze, Han Gang can be said to be good at judging people.

But the latter sentence is a bit excessive, and who can't hear the implicit attack?

Chunde gentleman?

If a scholar can be praised as a gentleman, it must be a great compliment. How many entries are said in the Analects about the gentleman? According to the words of the sage on the gentleman, he is not a saint, but also a pure and virtuous way.

and Yu Yin and Yang.

But the emperor was praised as a gentleman, which is not a good word. Can the morality of being a courtier be the same as the morality of being a son of heaven? Di Yao is just 'Qin Mingwen, Si'an'an, Ge Yu Shang', can be constrained according to the entries in the Analects? Song Xianggong is a gentleman.

Sima Guang also knew that Lu Dao wanted to compile the "Zizhi Tongjian" for the king's reference, is this to teach the emperor to be a gentleman? ! Definitely not. There are too many intrigues in the history books, and if you read the history thoroughly, you will not be a gentleman who can be deceived and deceived in a way when you are a person and a person.

Song Yongchen even narrowed his eyelids when he saw the Son of Heaven. If he hadn't had facial paralysis, he felt that the official family's expression would definitely be a sneer.

Song Yongchen also wanted to sneer. That's the way the friendship between teachers and students is there. is just like the relationship between Wang Anshi and Han Gang's son-in-law, as soon as they fight for the so-called Taoism, they don't talk about anything.

Han Gang knew what his words would make people think, so he continued, "There is a German side that can control talents. Talent without virtue is the source of chaos. ”

He didn't intend to use such shallow words to belittle Cheng Hao and his school. That's really unseemly, and it makes people feel like villains who like to attack others behind their backs.

"In the past, there was Yin, the information was quick, the smell was very sensitive, the material was outstanding, the hand was fierce, it can be described as both civil and military, it was a pity that it was wise to admonish, to argue and decorate wrong, so he died and the country was destroyed, and the ruins were left in vain to make people hang. There is also Sui Yang, who can be a poet and use soldiers, but he is sorry that he does not care for the people, and he dies and the country is destroyed. There is Li Cunqiao nearby, good at riding and shooting, brave and brave, Xi "Spring and Autumn", through the righteousness, extinguishing Liang Litang, and living up to the sigh of "giving birth to a son should be like Li Yazi", but unfortunately there is no beginning and no end, and the emperor's hegemony is finally a cake. ”

Without the restraint of virtue, if you are high, you will become a scourge. Or to put it another way, the wrong line, the more knowledge, the more reactionary. That's probably the case.

If you learn from Cheng Hao, you can really achieve the unity of knowledge and action in the end, and it is no problem to be a gentleman of pure virtue. No matter how bad the result is, it will not be as bad as the result of King Xu, Sui Yang and Later Tang Zhuangzong. It will not be like the Emperor of Flowers and Birds, who is impossible to appear now, his calligraphy and painting talents will be famous for eternity, but the good country is finished in his hands.

- Of course, the integration of knowledge and action is the most difficult. Confucius's Analects, no one who has not read it cannot be called a reader, but how many can do it according to the above standards? But Han Gang wouldn't be as stupid as predicting 'he will always die' at the 100-day banquet-

Hearing Han Gang's next words, Song Yongchen was stunned, did he think too much? Or is it the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman?

Zhao Ji also seemed to be a little flustered, and after a while, he drew on the sand table: 'What is Qi Xue'?

Whether it is virtue or talent, Zhao Ji's initial request for the crown prince must only be to sit on the throne, as for Ming Jun and Dujun, it depends on his own performance in the future. But how could an emperor not want the crown prince's talents to be better?

Han Gang sat up straight and replied to Zhao Ji in a dignified manner: "The key to qi learning lies in the word 'sincerity'!" ”

Everyone was confused, and Zhao Ji also asked: 'What's the explanation?' ’

"The moon is always there. The days are bright. One plus one will not be two. No matter how much you exercise, silver will not turn into red gold. The truth between heaven and earth is here, everyone can see it, and everyone can think about it. All that is needed is sincerity. There will be a fallacy that the grass will turn into fireflies for a while, but if you look closely, you can distinguish the truth from right and wrong. Therefore, Hengqu is honest and sincere. Those who are clear are also clear in the way. Sincerity, sincerity is also true. The line is based on the truth, and the heart is sincere. ”

Zhao Ji blinked, as if he had heard a little interest, knocked on the sand table, and motioned for Han Gang to continue.

"Only by studying things can we know." Han Gang continued, "Therefore, Qi science should teach how to study things, not the result of instilling knowledge—thinking carefully, discerning, and not thinking about it, not for the true 'knowledge'. ”

Han Gang does not need to attack other schools, Qi science – or science – which studies reality and explains it. For the laws of nature, we have to be honest, and we can't be insincere. This point, as long as you start to learn qi, will be concerned

'Is this sincerity?' Zhao's question was more concise and to the point.

"Can you deceive people, can you deceive the sky? Only sincerity. ”

This makes sense, and she nodded to the queen in a daze, and she understands it now. Heaven cannot be deceived, so be sincere.

Han Gang sat upright and had a good bearing.

Cheng Hao? Wang Anshi? Do you need to care about them? There is no need to belittle it. Because Qi is better.

Words can't move people, facts can. He can have his current status at this age, and he also relies on talent and achievements, not eloquence. With those officials who have risen rapidly along the official route, they are not at all people on the same road.

The facts speak for themselves!

Han Gang also only needs to speak with facts.

……………………

When it came to learning in the palace, Han Gang was a little dry when he spoke, but Zhao Ji still didn't give a conclusion on the spot, but he closed his eyelids and closed his eyes to recuperate.

But Han Gang didn't mind. He is not a vain speaker, and the ability of the Zongheng family is not half of it, but he can solve the problem. Each ensuing problem can also make people more sensitive in the next action, which is qi.

It's just that when Han Gang returned home, he was still recalling Zhao Ji's movements and demeanor, and there must be something that represented a change in mood.

But before he could have an eyebrow, another person came to the palace. Two days later, he began to give lessons to the crown prince.

It's really fast! Han Gang was a little surprised, but there was nothing behind him. The reason and reason were not said, but Han Gang was asked to go to class.

Although it was still not satisfactory, Han Gang finally got what he wanted.

Officially gave a lecture to the crown prince.

Wang Anshi is the "Analects", Cheng Hao is the "Thousand Character Text" and etiquette, Zhao Gang is still in the stage of enlightenment, and Han Gang cannot teach too profound subjects, only arithmetic and nature.

'Enough! Han Gang thought as he sat at his desk. In the past, there would not have been such a lesson, from which we could see the compromise of the imperial court,

But he didn't have time to rejoice too much, one letter after another was waiting for him to reply, one of which was Han Gang's in-laws.

Han Gang's sons and daughters, Su Ziyuan, came to Beijing a few days ago to meet the Son of Heaven - the chief official of Tianxia Prefecture and County, even if his position has not moved, he has to enter the court once every two or three years. But before Han Gang went south, he was sent back to Yongzhou.

Su Ziyuan has meritorious service in governing Yong, and there are always a few of the four virtues and twenty-seven that can be occupied. In the past few years, the evaluation has been up and down, and last year he even got the upper middle school - the highest level of evaluation, which is not available under normal circumstances - among the dozens of state officials on the two roads of Guangnan, it is the most conspicuous.

Guangnan West Road transfer envoy reported that Yongzhou opened hundreds of miles of ditches in the past few years to irrigate thousands of hectares of fertile land. Although there are many exaggerations, last year, the grain sold from Yongzhou and Qinzhou along the left river into the sea and then north to Quanzhou was as much as 700,000 stones, but this is a real deal. It is equivalent to the external transportation volume of most of the Baiqu irrigation area in Guanzhong, plus 500,000 or 600,000 stone in Jiaozhou, which has been suffering from food shortage, and the phenomenon of infant drowning has always been prohibited, it can be said that it has saved countless people. Su Ziyuan, as the governor of Yongzhou, certainly contributed to it.

From Guizhou [Guilin] to Yongzhou [Nanning], Liuzhou, Xiangzhou, and Pennsylvania passed all the way south, and their hukou are all basins suitable for grain production, and they are also grain bases related to the safety of the country in later generations. In this era, if it can be fully developed together with the plains near Guangzhou, there will be no need to worry about overpopulation for decades.

Su Ziyuan has known Yongzhou for several years, and the Yongzhou household registration has increased by more than 50%, and gradually restored the vitality before Jiaozhi entered the Kou; food production has doubled; The amount of taxes gradually approached that of Guizhou. Opened up the trade channel with Dali, and purchased more than 3,000 Yunnan horses every year, in accordance with the edict that was continuously promulgated from the time of Taizong, and emphasized at the beginning of today's sub-reform, this is the military merit.

It's a pity that at that time, the political affairs hall was trying to let Han Gang stay in Hedong, and Su Ziyuan was also implicated by the way. The queen only went to the palace at the court meeting, and was not summoned by the queen after that.

Wang Zhongzheng and Song Yongchen, the big mink who knew the identity of Su Ziyuan, did not dare to speak, and when there were no allies in the court to help speak, and the backers behind them were not very reliable, they could only remain silent. Zhang Dian didn't want to be the target of the public, so he just held a banquet with Su Song in private to entertain Su Ziyuan.

It is almost impossible for officials who have been serving in Quang Nam for a long time to jump out of that circle again. After Su Mian won the Jinshi, he was sent to Lingnan to serve, and he has been working in Liangguang for decades, Su Ziyuan inherited his father's business, and there was no hope in this life. It's just that Lao Junrong is also easy, I'm afraid that the next time we meet, it will be the envoy and deputy of the supervision department all the way.

However, the children of the two families who are married are still safe, whether it is the eldest of the Han family or the eldest daughter of the Su family, there have been no accidents in the past few years. In a few years, it will be the age to get married.

Sit down and think about it, this time flies really fast, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When the strategy was crossed, it was said that the scene of demoting and seizing the official was still in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the children had grown up.

It is said that time flies, and it is indeed fast enough.

Han Gang returned to Beijing, and the next day he resigned from Wang Anshi one after another, and then the Beijing court was in chaos. In the past two days, the entanglement between Han Gang and Wang Anshi has not been conclusive, and it is the day when he teaches the prince for the first time.

He came to the East Palace.
