Chapter 707: Reputation
Under the dawn, Ye Chunqiu had a quiet temperament. After saying that, he left with Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren and Ye Chunqiu walked side by side. Although the age difference between the two was very large, Ye Chunqiu gave Wang Shouren the feeling that this sister-in-law was not young. How could he say that his words and behaviors were not like those of a young man’s pretending to be, but a kind of real persistence.
Although sometimes Ye Chunqiu's temperament is bad, but flaws do not conceal the merits. It can only be said that there is a crazy temperament that may burst out behind calmness.
But such people do not make people disgusted.
Facing the dawn, Wang Shouren held his hands behind his back and said slowly while walking: "Chunqiu, do you think Mr. Wu will come?"
Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and said, "I guess he can do it. We are not unknown people. Brother Wang, do you know what is the most terrifying thing for the great scholars?"
Wang Shouren smiled and stroked his beard: "Oh, you are here to test me again. Since you have the answer in your heart, you might as well say that, why bother to be mysterious?"
Wang Shouren is a very honest person and will never pretend to understand.
Ye Chunqiu laughed and said, "It is ignorance. For the great scholars, there is nothing more important in this world than ignorance. If any major event in the world cannot have anything to do with him, if he cannot stand in that strait, it will be as uncomfortable as if he is dead."
Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, unable to help but feel dazed, uh...is that true?
Ye Chunqiu also held his hands behind his back, and did not continue to explain, and continued to leave slowly.
In Ye Chunqiu's view, this is like a star in later generations. A person who is used to focusing on the spotlight, who relies on fame and is praised by others. Those who are low-key are not stars, nor can they become stars. As a great scholar today, if a person who is really deliberately low-key, how can he become a great scholar? If he really needs to be low-key, don't interact with others in the mountains. Since the museum has been opened, he will recruit disciples and comment on major affairs of the country from time to time, then for them, they cherish their feathers more and they are the ones who don't like being ignored the most. No matter when, they must be the focus of the attention.
It is precisely because of this that officials are officials who are cautious in their words and actions, while great scholars often act radically and can come up with any strange and strange theory.
When Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty was still alive, a great scholar led a group of students to the palace gate to petition, asking the emperor to abdicate to virtuous people, saying that the world was the world of the world. So Huo Guang, the assistant minister at that time, was very rude and directly chopped these people up. By the Ming Dynasty, strange and strange theories were even more terrifying. The great scholars had everything, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, some wanted to depose the monarch, and some proposed the empty king. These "advanced" ideas were at least completely unrealistic in this era, but why did anyone dare to shout them? It was just that the higher theories were, the more attention they attracted.
"He will definitely come." Ye Chunqiu said with a smile, with a certain light in his eyes.
At this time, in Wu's house, Wu Xingzhong had already gotten up and was wearing a bun. The boy brought Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren's greetings. Wu Xingzhong heard that it was Ye Chunqiu's greetings, frowned, and then picked them up. He originally wanted to throw the greetings into the wastebasket, but when he saw the words in the visitings, he was still worried. After pondering for a moment, he actually put the greetings in his sleeve.
……………………
Early the next morning, it was still this time, and Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren arrived at Zhang's house in Neidongcheng.
Zhang Yong, the owner of Zhang's house, was one of the great scholars in the capital. He had few former disciples and officials, only three or four disciples in the closed school, but they were all worthy of praise. One of them was directly named on the list. During the Hongzhi period, he was ranked first in the second place, and he had already reached the top.
Zhang Yong was a man who lived in seclusion, but his reputation was very high. Many people wanted to join his disciples but could not get it. However, his disciples were also called great scholars in the capital and had strong strength. Therefore, although he had not many disciples, he had many disciples.
Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren stood outside the door of Zhang's house. Wang Shouren knocked on the door. Soon, the servants of the Zhang family opened the door. Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren just handed over famous posts, and did not go in to pay their respects. They turned around and left.
The news finally became a "strange talk". Ye Xiu first visited the great scholar Wu Xingzhong, and then Zhang Yong. These two were the most Confucian scholars in the capital. The most important thing is, why did Ye Chunqiu go to visit?
If you can't see this clue, it's really a pig. Not to mention the purpose of Ye Xiu's writings, everything is divided into sequence. Wu Xingzhong was the first to visit, which naturally means that Ye Xiu believed that among the Confucians in the capital, Wu Xingzhong was obviously the first; as for the second, it was naturally Zhang Yong; are you convinced in this ranking? Perhaps many people were convinced, after all, Wu Xingzhong has a high reputation, and Zhang Yong is not inferior. Who is Ye Xiu's writings?
Ye Chunqiu was the top scholar and was appointed as the emperor's sect. His talent was immeasurable. Moreover, he was already a Hanlin, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Xie Qian and others, and was loved by the emperor. That's not all. He has also made great contributions recently, and his reputation is circulating everywhere in the scholars.
You can question such a person's character, but who dares to question his eyesight?
So many people speculated in private that since they had visited Mr. Wu, was it in Ye Xiu's mind that Mr. Wu was the most important scholar, and Zhang Yongle, who was most interested in this matter, naturally, was the disciples and grandchildren of the two, who were trying hard to promote it, fearing that others would not know it. The two of them had great influence, and their disciples were all over the capital, and they carried sedan chairs. The Ye Xiu's example seemed to have ignite eyes overnight, which was a fair, fair and very eye-catching model.
谁若是质疑一句,顿时便惹来一阵叫骂,这其实很好理解,恩师或者是师祖成为第一或者第二大儒,这是很长脸面的事,这对所有拜在他们门下的人都极有好处,你若是反对,就形同于侮辱自己师门,不揍你就算不错了,谁还跟你之乎者也来着.
Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with it. He has to shout a few words. Whatever Ye Xiu said is a terrible thing. He is young and has no virtue. Just because he visited the two gentlemen, what can he do?
This is just a reason, but the problem is that people involved in their own interests will not reason with you. Therefore, some people commit crimes in groups, rush over to the bricks, benches, and criticize them.
