"What does General Yang think of today's Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Tianru looked at Yang Fan with bright eyes and asked.
Yang Fan sighed, there was no point in telling lies. "The current situation, Ming Dynasty has already been seriously ill, like a soup about to boil, like sitting on top of a stove."
Zhang Tianru clapped his palms and said, "I really think we have the same idea as a hero."
Yang Fan looked at him without speaking and answered him with silence.
"The general believes that the crux of today's Ming Dynasty is and how to resolve it."
Yang Fan said calmly: "Please give me some advice, sir."
"The problem with today's situation is that the government is not upright, the court is filled with villains, and all the ministers are selfish and short-sighted. The clan, nobles, relatives, and eunuchs are all the cancer of the Ming Dynasty. Only by removing these cancers
Only by cutting it off can there be hope for the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Fan sneered in his heart. After all, it was still the same prescription, nothing new.
Those cancerous tumors are all small tumors. There is a big tumor. I wonder if Mr. Zhang Tianru is willing to cut it off.
"Isn't it now that the gentlemen of Donglin have returned to the Jinluan Hall, and the court has been filled with people? I think it will be just around the corner to cut off these tumors. Yang Fan is here to congratulate all the gentlemen." Yang Fan said and cupped his hands.
Zhang Tianru smiled bitterly and said: "General Yang is also a hero in the country, so he naturally has extraordinary knowledge. It is meaningless to talk like this. Every man has a duty to deal with the rise and fall of the world. Ming Dynasty is the home of everyone, why should a general hide his clumsiness? Why should he be like this?"
Zhang Cai and others all despised Yang Fan and looked at Yang Fan with contempt.
Just a martial artist, what kind of pattern can he have?
Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's a good saying that when the world rises and falls, every man is responsible. When the world rises, it is the common men who need to take responsibility. They should not farm the fields, but dig up the excrement. On the contrary, the world is about to perish.
It’s really strange that the responsibility has become that of a common man.”
After saying this, Yang Fan had an expression on his face that said, "I don't know enough, please don't coax me."
Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi were eating delicious pot stickers. When they heard these words, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The master always speaks so sharply and interestingly, and often leaves people breathless.
Yes, these are words to fool fools.
None of the ladies in the Yang family's back house is a fool, they are all shrewd.
Only in later generations, when the people are the masters of the country, will this sentence truly have the practical significance.
In this feudal dynasty, when the world is good, the common men are just cattle and horses. When the world is about to fall, the common men are just cannon fodder driven into battle by the warlords.
The common people are responsible for their woolen work, and it's more of a disease for their brains.
This kind of statement appears because the happy life of the literati is about to disappear, and they are just jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Although they are good at bullying the common people, they are useless when it comes to slave-building and rogue bandits. They can only catch people blind.
This is why we need to invent some specious theories to deceive fools into working hard. They say that you have a share in this world, you must get up, and don't feel inferior because of your humble background.
I'm optimistic about you!
The men who said this were quite excited.
It's like drinking ice water in the dog days of summer and just reading "Reader's Digest". I have the illusion that my intelligence has improved. It seems that I am no longer so dirty all of a sudden.
You must rise up and take responsibility, shed your blood and shed your blood, and establish a new order. (So that we can restore our wealth and prosperity.)
This sentence is extremely shameless, inflammatory, and unreasonable.
Because the feudal dynasty does not represent the interests of ordinary people.
After the new order is established, it's time for ordinary people to get out. Get up and farm, work, and pick up manure. Don't be an eyesore to the gentlemen here. Don't take pictures of yourself.
Zhang Cai and the other three people were all excited when they heard Zhang Tianru say such wonderful words. Look, this is Mr. Zhang Tianru, and the truth he said is noble.
As a result, he was not happy for three minutes before he was yelled at by Yang Fan, as if his mouth was stuffed with horse dung.
Zhang Tianru was stunned and speechless.
Because what Yang Fan said is the truth, and facts speak louder than words. Unless he talks nonsense regardless of his identity. In this case, Yang Fan will not take him seriously.
Moreover, Yang Fan knew that Zhang Tianru did not say these words. He was just picking on others.
Zhang Tianru was silent for a moment, then stood up and raised his hands to Yang Fan and said, "I've learned a lesson. I don't know what General Yang thinks of the current situation."
Yang Fan looked at Zhang Tianru and saw that this person was actually somewhat different from Dong Lin.
He still had ideals and feelings for his family and country in his heart. After all, he was still young at this time and had not completely turned into a politician. The most important thing was that he was very ambitious, and Dong Lin could no longer control him.
I would like to give him some support and give Dong Lin some eye drops in Jiangnan.
"I remember Donglin Academy was established in the Song Dynasty." Yang Fan said something meaningless.
Zhang Tianru's eyes narrowed, this Yang Fan was not simple.
Donglin Academy is one of the famous academies in ancient times. It was founded in the first year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1111). At that time, it was the place where Cheng Hao, the Neo-Confucian scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the famous scholar Yang Shi (named Guishan) gave lectures for a long time.
.
The Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group entered the court in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty with the peaceful return of King Wu and Yue to the Northern Song Dynasty. From then on, they entered the stage of history. They profoundly affected the historical process of the two Song Dynasties.
The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was in Hangzhou, which was their territory, and the emperor was in their hands.
The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was quite troublesome.
None of Zhao Gou's children grew up, and in the end he actually returned the throne to Zhao Kuangyin and his family. Regardless of the fact that Zhao Guangyi's family had many candidates for the clan.
The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty would abdicate whenever they had no problem. The three emperors before the founding of the People's Republic of China all abdicated.
There is no such thing as abdication in history. If you don't put a knife on your neck, who would abdicate? It can only show that this is the intention of the Jiangnan civil servants. The emperor is just a puppet.
As for the kneeling statue in front of Yue Fei's tomb, some people say that the real murderer is Zhao Gou, but this is not true. He couldn't even decide whether he could have children or whether the children would grow up. In the end, even the throne was returned to Song Taizu. Only
It shows that he is really just a puppet.

Historically, it was very important to locate the capital there, as it required the support of the surrounding gentry and was also easily controlled by the surrounding gentry.
For example, Cao Cao made his capital Xuchang. The political significance was that he united with the noble families in Henan and gained their support.
After that, he seemed to be cheating, defeating Yuan Shao's group, attacking Wuhuan and Xianbei, and annexing Liu Biao's territory until he unified the north.
These are the results of the strong support behind the scenes of the Henan gentry clan.
Xun He and others were their independent directors sent to the Dahan company to supervise the company's operations.
The reason why Cao Cao wanted to move the capital to Yecheng and establish the Duke of Wei was because after the north was basically pacified, he finished using them and wanted to get rid of their control.
The reason why Cao Cao was able to hold real power was that the army was under the control of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. However, with the unification of the north and the long-lasting peace, the administrative and bureaucratic forces represented by civilian officials would control the country.
Cao Cao understood that if this situation continued, the Cao family would sooner or later be replaced by the Henan clan. The subsequent rise of Sima Yi also proved this.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi was soft. As soon as he came to the throne, he surrendered to the Henan scholar-bureaucrat group and moved the capital back to Luoyang.
The Henan gentry supported him in abolishing the Han Dynasty and establishing himself as emperor.
He has been educated by scholar-bureaucrats since he was a child and has been brainwashed. He does not understand the true truth here at all, or he understands it in his heart but does not have the courage to fight.
After that, the emperors of Cao Wei's descendants were weaker than the last, and were even less able to move the capital, until they watched the Sima family become stronger and were eventually replaced.
Moving the capital from Henan to Hebei means that Cao Cao will be out of their control. The people of Henan will definitely not let him go. Once the capital is moved, it means that they will be marginalized in the court.
The matter of moving the capital became the focus of the struggle between Cao Cao and the Henan gentry.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also took the opportunity to act like a monster, hoping to win over the Henan nobles to support him, replace Cao Cao, and get rid of Cao Cao.
Then all the clothing and belt edicts came out.
The climax of the struggle was the Battle of Chibi.
Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, and his military began to go downhill from then on. He no longer had the same vigor as before. After they parted ways, Cao Cao suffered a great loss in strength and never made any obvious military progress. The situation of the Three Kingdoms was formed.
The Chibi defeat was because someone was sabotaging and deliberately letting him lose the war. It was the biggest warning to Cao Cao from the vested interest groups in Henan that controlled the court.
Leave us and you will be in darkness.
The Donglin Party emerged in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a long history.
The Ming Dynasty will just revive again.
In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-officials from Jiangnan rebuilt Donglin Academy, marking the return of the Donglin Party as king again in the Ming Dynasty.
