Just when Yu Ren was thinking about these questions that confused him, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform walked onto the stage. This man was slightly fatter and had a loud voice. As soon as he came on stage, the noisy voices in the audience gradually stopped.

Come down.

The middle-aged man stood quietly on the stage for about half a minute, and then the audience became completely quiet. Then he showed a smile and said to everyone, "I am very happy that all of you can come to the store. I know that everyone is here today.

I came here not to drink tea, but to listen to Mr. Qian's lectures on "managing the world for practical purposes". Unfortunately, when Mr. Qian arrived in Jiaxing Prefecture, he suddenly received an urgent message from the DPRK and had to rush back to the capital at starry night.

Already."

When the middle-aged man mentioned this, the audience immediately became noisy.

The middle-aged man loudly called for silence in the audience, but the effect was not obvious. Finally, the middle-aged man had to raise his voice and said, "Although Mr. Qian has returned to the capital, Mr. Qian's most proud disciple is also our No. 1 disciple in Nanjing.

A talented man, Yang Ju, Yang Zhiyong, came to us on behalf of Mr. Qian.

Now, please invite our Mr. Zhiyong to come to the stage."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man in his mid-twenties came up from the stage. This man was very short, only about 1.6 meters tall, and the look on his face was even more unflattering.

In the center, there is a huge round nose, like a fleshy grape growing on it, and the eyes above the nose are extremely small, so that against the background of his big nose, many people are confused at first sight.

Anyone who sees him feels like they can't find his eyes. However, although his facial features are not up to par, his face is still fair, which is considered to be in line with the most basic rule of a white-faced scholar.

As soon as Yang Ju came on stage, he bowed deeply to the audience without saying anything.

Most of the scholars in the audience have heard of Yang Ju's name. He is known as the number one talent in Nanjing and is also a favorite to win the first prize in next year's palace examination. It can be said that among the scholars in the world today, no one has heard of his name.

There are really not many people.

When all the scholars in the audience saw Yang Ju's appearance of being unpopular with God, many felt disappointed and some felt sorry for him. At the same time, many people looked down upon Yang Ju. The following is

Someone started to whisper.

This Yang Ju did not urge everyone to be quiet, nor did he blame everyone. He just stood there, standing very seriously, and then scanned everyone in the audience with a pair of small but very sharp eyes.

His eyes were like sharp knives. Every person he glanced at could not help but freeze in their hearts, and their mouths naturally stopped. Then they sat upright and looked towards the stage.

Yang Ju's eyes swept over the whole place, and the whole place became quiet. He then took two steps forward, cleared the noise and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Qian had to rush back at night because of something unexpected at court.

Capital. Today’s lesson on ‘Managing the World to Use’ was originally taught by Mr. Qian, so I can only explain it to everyone.”

After speaking, Yang Ju bowed to everyone again, and then spoke slowly.

"The sage said in the Book of Changes: "Prepare things for use, and set up utensils to benefit the world. There is nothing greater than a sage." When we read the sage's book today, I think we should first consider this fundamental question: Why?

We want to study, but what is the purpose of studying? Is it just for exams and high school, and then throw the books aside?..."

When Yang Ju was talking about this, one of the people in front of him stood up and shouted to Yang Ju, "Yang Ju, we are here specifically to listen to Mr. Qian's lecture today. Since Mr. Qian has something to do and didn't come, why don't you explain something to us!" There are so many of us, and many of our friends have come here specially from other places, or even other provinces. How can we be sent away just by saying, "There is something going on in the DPRK?" This would be too disrespectful to take us seriously!"

Yang Ju glanced at the man, thought for a while, and said nothing.

At this time, the person next to the person who just spoke stood up again. "Yang Caizi doesn't want to say, could it be that your Donglin Party is trying to do something shameful again? Our Mr. Shen Ge was summoned by the emperor back then. , you Donglin Party secretly spread rumors and framed Mr. Shen Ge. As a result, Mr. Shen Ge lived in seclusion, and finally achieved the ulterior purpose of you Donglin Party members.

This time, I wonder what kind of conspiracy Mr. Qian will come up with?"

When Yang Ju heard this, his face turned ugly for a moment, but he was very knowledgeable and knew that he must not have an attack at this time. If he couldn't control his emotions and argued with these people, he would play into their hands. What's wrong? Yang Ju also heard about what this person said about Shen Yiguan's case.

Speaking of Shen Yiguan, he was the founder of the Zhejiang Party and one of the most important ministers of the Wanli Dynasty. In those years, he served in the cabinet for thirteen years, including four years as the chief minister. During these thirteen years , was also the most eventful period in the political arena of the Wanli Dynasty. Many famous officials fell in these political storms. However, Shen Yiguan did not fall, and instead won more trust from the Wanli Emperor.

It was during his tenure as Chief Auxiliary that the Zhejiang Party achieved maximum development in the court. It can be said that the wind got wind and the rain got rain. Shen Yiguan himself was also very successful politically and became the most trusted person of the emperor. of ministers.

However, I did not expect that during the Beijing Inspection in the 33rd year of Wanli, the Zhejiang Party would be squeezed out by the Donglin Party members who were in charge of the Beijing Inspection at that time. As the chief minister at the time, Shen Guangyuan could not see his subordinates being squeezed out by the Donglin Party without turning around. He wanted to be saved, so he wrote to the emperor, saying that this time the Beijing inspection was unfair.

In the end, although the Donglin Party member who presided over the Beijing inspection was dismissed, the matter was made a big deal. Shen Yiguan also got burned because of this. In the end, the fire finally burned Shen Yiguan. Under the influence of all the censors Under mutual attack, Shen Yiguan was ultimately unable to withstand the pressure and soon retired and returned home.

Although the emperor was right at the time, a few years later, when the emperor encountered something troublesome, he remembered the amiable old Shen again, so he secretly sent someone to ask for advice from Shen Yiguan, who was already living in seclusion in his hometown.

Shen has always been very enthusiastic. He not only answered the emperor's questions seriously and actively gave him advice, but also vaguely expressed his willingness to return to work.

However, what is unexpected is that for some reason, Shen Yiguan's reply to the emperor spread among the people before it was delivered to the emperor. Everyone then said that Shen Yiguan was a hypocrite and clearly wanted to Even though he was an official, he pretended to be reserved and pretended to resign from any position. Now he was secretly flattering the emperor and wanted to be reinstated. Others said it was even worse, saying that Shen always said: "I want to be a bitch, but I want to be reinstated." Another memorial arch should be erected.

As soon as these words came out, Old Shen never had the face to come out, and he truly became a hermit from then on. Even the emperor sent letters to their home several times, but he did not read, accept, or reply.

Afterwards, everyone would naturally think that the key to this matter was the letter. According to later rumors, especially from the Zhejiang Party members, it was said that Shen Yiguan's letter was given to him by Li Sancai, an important figure in the Donglin Party. The content was tampered with and then spread among the people.

According to them, the family member Shen Yiguan sent to deliver the letter was invited to stay at Li Sancai's house for a night on the way. The reason was that this Li Sancai was Shen Yiguan's disciple, so he had nothing to do with the Shen family. This family member is familiar.

This matter had a wide impact at that time, and it was only six or seven years ago. Yang Ju had naturally heard of it. However, both parties did not do it gloriously, so it was difficult for him to explain it, and he could not explain it. Therefore, smart Yang Caizi chose silence

Yang Ju fell silent, but the people from Wansong Academy had no intention of letting him go.

"Why doesn't Yang Caizi speak? Tell us! Let us also see the conspiracy methods of your Donglin Party. Maybe, because we admire your superb sneaking methods, we will all join in your Donglin Party" The party is out!"
