Zhu Biao started the conversation, and the others naturally joined in. After all, they all wanted to impress His Highness the Crown Prince even more. Scholars all have ideals and ambitions to rise to the top of the world.
Li Yao asked curiously: "I just don't know who that Ma Sheng is. Could he be the junior brother we are waiting for?"
Li Yao was born into a poor family. His family was prominent in the Song Dynasty, but now it has declined. Being able to join Song Lian's family was a last-ditch effort for his family. Although he was a bit impetuous, his academic performance was still good, but the news of his family's decline was inevitable.
occlusion.
Chen Bai was born in a famous family and had many friends. Naturally, he had inquired about it a long time ago. He glanced at Zhu Biao and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was not about to speak, so he answered: "Brother, I don't know. That Ma Sheng is the 18th Duke of Ma Datong of Dongyang."
Sun, whose name is Zongzheng and whose courtesy name is Junji, is said to have a bright and sensitive nature and a strong character. He is currently the eighth-rank Chengshilang and the magistrate of Dongchangtang County."
Zhu Biao naturally knew long ago that Ma Congzheng was actually quite young, already in his thirties. Of course, to Mr. Song, who was over sixty years old, he was still just a junior student.
It has to be said that this man was very lucky, just like Wang Lun. He could go down in history with a poem and article. This is a good thing that many scholars have dreamed of.
However, according to Zhu Biao's understanding, this man was considered to be honest and upright when he was an official, but his handling of government affairs was not very good. Many affairs in the county were controlled by county officials. It can only be said that he was a scholar.
Zhu Biao planned to transfer him to the Imperial College to teach in the Imperial College in a while. With the suspension of the imperial examination and the expansion of the Imperial College's recruitment of students, there were not enough teachers to teach him. He had originally planned to transfer a group of officials from the grassroots level.
The car swayed slightly, the sound of deep and deep drumming sounded from all directions, and from time to time there was a crisp sound of whipping. You could faintly hear the sound of happy discussion in the distance. It is estimated that many people were watching the excitement from a distance.
, to accumulate talking points that can be boasted about in the future.
The capital is the best place under the emperor's feet, and the people are also the best people ever. Five years of hard work always yields some results. Vigorous vitality is brewing and spreading, and the trend of great governance in the world is obvious to all.
Regardless of the current commotion in Jiangnan, it is actually just a matter for scholars. The court's crackdown on corruption only targets the officials and gentry, and does not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people. If it does, it will only be good.
This is also the bottom line for their father and son. They can make trouble no matter what, but they cannot delay the recovery of the people's livelihood in the world and the prosperity of the country. Otherwise, they will have to use imperial power to overturn the table and reshuffle the cards. Who will suffer the most serious damage by then?
And metaphor.
In fact, from the fact that Jiangnan has such momentum, we can also know that the south is recovering very well. More and more people can read and learn. This is a good thing. To govern the people's livelihood in the world, we need knowledgeable and educated people. This is a law.
The only thing we need to worry about is the north, especially the capitals of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. They have been separated from the Central Plains for too long. Hu Feng's prevailing academic style has become decadent. Today, less than 30% of the officials in the temples are from the north. This is also the reason why Lao Zhu
One of the main reasons for visiting the North in person.
This was also the reason why the imperial court ordered the people in the south to be officials in the north and people in the south to be officials. However, this was not a long-term solution. There were many contradictions in it. Southern officials also complained constantly, but the emperor temporarily suppressed it with absolute authority.
The plot of the rural party is very deep in this era. If this situation is not improved, it will be difficult for the northerners to get ahead in the future. This is very detrimental to the situation of the court. The Ming Dynasty belongs to the people of the world, not just the south.
Half of the country.
Zhu Biao turned his attention to the group of people in front of him. Song Lian's disciples were almost all southern scholars. After the old master rested for a few days, he would still have to ask him to select a group of northern students to be his disciples, so that Zhu Biao could train them.
Soon, Yi drove out of the city gate and arrived at a Yingxian Pavilion ten miles outside the city. This was built by the Ministry of Industry in the first year of Hongwu. Qian Tang and others were greeted here by officials from the Ministry of Rites before entering Beijing to face the saints.
There are pavilions and flying beams across Qiu, beautiful trees are lined up on the left and right, there are strange rocks in the forest, there are clear springs in the pond, and there are fragrant grasses on the shore, where you can fish and boat. It is elegant and fresh, and the scholars all feel proud to be welcomed here to the court.
Zhang Wei, the commander of the Military and Horse Division, invited Zhu Biao to rest in the pavilion. Officials from the Ministry of Rites sent by Lao Zhu were also waiting nearby. Zhu Biao personally welcomed him as a disciple, and Lao Zhu sent officials to greet him to express his respect for him.
This veteran’s respect and kindness.
After all, Song Lian was an old minister from Conglong who had followed him in the 20th year of Zhizheng. At that time, he had left the capital for eight years. Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were still around and were very popular. Song Lian's surrender at that time brought a lot of benefits.
Available talent.
Not to mention that Lao Zhu also had to express his gratitude for the kindness of Professor Song Lian and Zhu Biao. He had been away from home for many years, but his son still grew up so extraordinary. In addition to praising his talent and intelligence, he also had to remember the hard work of a good teacher who taught him and solved his doubts.
Not only Lao Zhu's people, but after Zhu Biao entered the pavilion, he also saw the female official in charge of Kunning Palace waiting with two boxes of food baskets, which probably contained hot food and wine.
Zhu Biao had to say that his mother was very attentive. The old master was so old that he had to rush to the capital as soon as possible because of Wei Guan's case. He must be physically and mentally exhausted from the exhaustion of the carriage and horses. At this time, no amount of welcoming party could be as heartwarming as the warm wine and food to warm the stomach.
In addition to them, there is a large group of scholars in the distance. Song Lian's reputation as a leading figure in the literary world is no joke. I don't know how many young scholars regard the old master as the most sage.
After waiting like this for more than half an hour, we finally saw a carriage with the same make as Zhu Biao coming from a distance. It was the chariot that Zhu Biao gave to the prince when the old master returned home last year.
"Here comes the sir. I have been unable to serve him for many years since I became an official. It's really a waste of my life!"
"Master has passed his sixtieth year. It is the time for us to respect our teachers and fulfill our filial piety."
…………
Zhu Biao stood up and came out of the pavilion to greet him. He didn't take what the brothers behind him said seriously. It didn't matter whether they really meant it or just wanted to make a good impression in front of him. When looking at people, they should judge their deeds regardless of their intentions.
On the heart, there is no perfect person in the world.
As soon as Zhu Biao moved, the others naturally followed him. A large group of people came to a stop, and Song Lian's car stopped quite far away. The old master was helped down, and his hair was already gray.
Even Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel sad. He was trapped in the house when he was young. To be honest, Mr. Song Lian spent a lot more time with him than Lao Zhu. He played music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, music, poetry, articles, classics and meanings.
They are all taught carefully by the old master.
Not to mention that there are many things other than the classics and meanings. As a great scholar who can go down in history with his own talent and learning, Song Lian taught Zhu Biao far more than that. Zhu Biao is now very good at everything he does, thanks to
Thanks to Song Lian’s painstaking teachings.
The memory of past lives is naturally important, but if it were not for Song Lian, he would be like a mirror and a moon like duckweed. Each era has its own needs. It does not mean that you are right if you are ahead of the times. If you are half a step ahead, you are a genius. If you are one step ahead or even more, you are a madman.
A happy ending is rare.
Zhu Biao quickened his pace to greet him. He was about to bow down when he was five steps away. However, Old Master Song was obviously prepared and bowed down in advance to salute solemnly: "Old minister Song Lian pays homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu."
The Lord of Heaven and Earth is his master, and Song Lian will not break the rules when he is in front of his master. Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to help the old master up: "We haven't seen you for a long time. It is the disciple who is supposed to salute and greet the master. How can I accept the master's gift first?"
"
Song Lian smiled and was helped up by Zhu Biao: "The monarch and his ministers put their righteousness first, and as ministers, they should salute the prince first."
"Then disciples should fulfill their duty as human disciples."
After helping the old master to stand up, Zhu Biao took a few steps back and led the other brothers to salute Song Lian respectfully. At this time, the old master did not refuse anymore. Many people were watching, and it was also a good talk. Respecting a teacher is always a good thing.
There will be mistakes, which will be of great benefit to the prince's reputation.
Song Lian came all the way and met a lot of people no matter how much he declined. Things in Jiangnan were so big, and there were constant rumors about the emperor and the prince. Even though no one dared to say anything in front of Song Lian, how could the old master not see it?
Understand the resentment hidden behind their words.
