"Dad, Your Majesty asked the man who defeated Prince Ning to quarrel with Mr. Yang Ge. Did you win?"
"...It's not a quarrel. If you don't take good care of your injuries, how did you hear this?" Yan Song was speechless looking at his son, whose legs and forehead were still covered with injuries.
"Uncle Dong told me. Dad, Your Majesty asked me to study with his brother Lu. You have to teach me more. Your son must also know about the things around His Majesty. Otherwise, how can you talk to Brother Lu? You are a living person
Sir, you know everything His Majesty says and does. Since my son and Brother Lu are being trained as future humerus, of course he must work hard!"
Yan Shifan's face was swollen from being beaten, and his other good eye was also blue, but it was full of fighting spirit.
"...recuperate well!"
Yan Song, who came over to see how his son was doing, had a headache. Why didn't this child stop calming down?
Speaking of how is your majesty... Yan Song slowly frowned after walking out of the room.
His Majesty has been silent since he returned from the Wenhua Palace, and then even stopped his daily lecture for today, not intending to first read the imperial examination plan that Yang Yiqing sent to the palace.
Could it be that His Majesty is not satisfied with the outcome of the Wenhua Palace debate?
In the southern suburbs of the capital, on a river bend beside the post road, there are all kinds of shops, tea stalls, and restaurants, forming a small village.
The weather is already very hot in early June, but there are still many people coming and going here, either passing by or taking a rest.
Just because this is not far from the city gate, it is the most suitable place to rest.
Farewell or greeting someone here is also interesting because of the willow trees planted all over the river bend.
In the past few days, there have been frequent visits by important people here to see them off. Today, there are several more people waiting here.
"If you didn't tell me to write it all down, why don't you remember even one paragraph?" Xu Guangzuo looked at Guo Xun with a look of disbelief and even a hint of contempt.
"...My lord, you won't be able to remember it even if you go!" Guo Xun was embarrassed and annoyed. "You talk so much about nature, human desires, and conscience. It's such a long speech. How can I remember it?"
"Who wins and who loses?" Xu Guangzuo actually didn't care about the deep meaning behind it. He was just bored waiting here and talked about the topics they are talking about now.
Guo Xun was silent for a moment and shook his head expressionlessly.
Stop asking, stop asking.
I just didn't even see who won and who lost.
If you can understand, remember, and see who wins and who loses, why would you still come here eagerly to wait for Yang Yiqing?
A month has passed, and a dry memorial has been written on the strategy for re-establishing the three major camps. In the meantime, a memorial was also written on the strategy to be tested by the imperial palace.
After Yang Yiqing entered Beijing to face the emperor, he was going to the three sides of the General Administration. He was an old acquaintance with many people in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Now Guo Xun took Xu Guangzuo with him and wanted to ask Yang Yiqing for help in resetting the three major battalions.
There will definitely be a lot of business dealings between Yang Yiqing on the three sides of the total system and the three major battalions in the future.
When a border official enters Beijing, Yang Yiqing can go through the list first.
"Xia Gongjin is here too!" Xu Guangzuo suddenly raised his chin in the direction of the western suburbs, "It seems that he came from his hometown in Tuanying."
After Guo Xun looked over, he said: "Master Guo, why don't you go and greet us? Xia Gui also helped a lot with the previous strategies of the five mansions."
Without Xia Yan, Wufu would not even be able to come up with a strategy that is dry but detailed in content.
After being polite, Xia Yan asked expectantly: "Marquis Guo, you know about the Sutra Banquet. Today in the Wenhua Palace, Wang Futai and Mr. Yang Ge are debating the meaning of the Sutra. I wonder how it goes?"
Guo Xun's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and he replied: "First Wang Futai gave the lecture, and then Yang Gelao gave the lecture. His Majesty asked a question, and the two gentlemen expressed their opinions. Your Majesty's method of praising conscience is not without its merits."
"Is it the method of developing conscience that has merit, rather than learning from the heart?" Xia Yan confirmed seriously.
Guo Xun thought about it and said: "This is the way to gain conscience."
Yang Tinghe and Wang Shouren's words are so long! So difficult to understand! Who can remember them?
But His Majesty only said a few words in total.
Your Majesty, can you not remember it?
Xia Yan saluted very carefully: "Thank you Marquis Guo for informing me!"
As if he knew this conclusion, this difference was very important to him, and Guo Xun didn't explain the process at all, which was not the focus of Xia Yan's attention.
Guo Xun knew that Xia Yan was very smart, so now he seemed to be really not smart.
"After His Majesty drove back to the palace, the Heavenly Official almost shed tears. He seemed to be both regretful and unwilling." Guo Xun added.
This was also the reason why he couldn't tell the difference between victory and defeat: the emperor said that Wang Shouren's method had merit, but why did Wang Qiong look like that?
Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and then saluted Guo Xun apologetically: "It's because the lower official was so abrupt. Wang Futai was recommended by the Great Heavenly Official in the past, so he could be worthy of the Sutra Lecture Banquet. The Great Heavenly Official certainly hoped that Wang Futai
Show all you have learned so that the court can have more knowledgeable people and capable ministers. Today, Wang Futai only wants to be undefeated. The Great Heavenly Official is happy that he is not defeated, but also feels sorry for it. The Great Heavenly Official knows Wang Futai well.
His knowledge is profound, I think Wang Futai is hiding his clumsiness today."
Guo Xun suddenly opened his mouth.
He just added a sentence, and Xia Yan figured out that Guo Xun didn't understand. Then he apologized for asking Guo Xun this question and explained why Wang Qiong reacted that way.
Where did you see it?
After Xia Yan was promoted to the Military Department, he oversaw the dismantling of the military affairs and the re-establishment of the three major battalions. He was simply a workaholic and often only spent time in the former East and West Government Offices outside Beijing.
He left the city after Chang Chao today. There should be no reason for him to know the details of today's feast, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to ask himself.
So is the gap between people so big?
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, when Yang Tingyi, Yang Tinghe's younger brother and the right minister of the Ministry of War, arrived, Yang Yiqing finally arrived.
Running all the way, Yang Yiqing wore a loose Taoist robe and greeted Xu Guangzuo, Guo Xun, Yang Tingyi, Xia Yan and others with a smile.
"It's been a hard journey making the table."
Among the three sides of the general system, some of the official titles are called "Governor of Constitution" and "Zhi Tai".
After Yang Yiqing finished his polite remarks, he first asked Yang Tingyi: "I heard that today is the day of the sutra banquet. Jiefu and Wang Yangming will lecture on sutras together?"
Yang Tingyi, who was present at the scene, heard the words and said: "I want to know the details of the platform. When I came to the official, I was entrusted by my brother. I asked the platform to go to the mansion to reminisce about old friendship after arriving in Beijing."
Guo Xun suddenly became nervous.
Although Yang Yiqing has not been officially appointed to a new position and is still in a state of becoming an official in essence, this is a private meeting between two people at the level of cabinet ministers.
That's not to say it can't exist, but it's very eye-catching.
At this time, everyone's purpose must be the same, to reset the three major camps.
Guo Xun didn't think about whether it was appropriate for the Duke and the Marquis to come to greet him in person. Now he immediately took advantage of the Marquis's superior status and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I and Duke Ding are also planning to invite Yang Zhitai.
Sit down at Wangyue Tower. I'm afraid that Master Zhantai will be taking up his post soon. Your Majesty is worried about the re-establishment of the three major camps. I have a heavy responsibility and would like to ask Zhutai for more advice."
"Ding Guogong, Wu Dinghou came out of the city to greet you. I am extremely frightened. Since I have invited you on state affairs, do you dare Sannan not to obey?" Yang Yiqing almost didn't think much and smiled apologetically to Yang Tingyi, "I have no choice but to ask Yang Shilang to tell you.
Husband, Sannan will come to visit you again tomorrow."
The status of Duke and Marquis is transcendent and prominent, but Yang Tingyi understands that this is of course just an excuse.
After sitting here absent-mindedly for a while, Yang Tingyi returned to the Ministry of War after the group entered the city together.
"When I went to Mr. Ge's house, I told him that Yang Zhitai was incompetent. Duke Ding and Marquis Wu Ding went out of the city in person and invited Yang Zhitai to Wangyue Tower first."
His accompanying servants received the errand and rushed to Yang Tinghe's house. After informing him, they only saw Yang Shen at first.
After conveying the news, Yang Shen absentmindedly said "I understand" and continued to rush back to the flower hall.
"... Mr. Pavilion, why didn't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Now, although your Majesty only says that his small skill has merit, the word "Zhi Liangzhi" is spreading more and more widely!"
The chairs in the flower hall were full of people, many of whom had worried faces.
Yang Tinghe, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and said nothing.
"What Mr. Ge said today was shocking, but His Majesty was not touched at all. He invited Wang Shouren to lecture on the scriptures. Mr. Ge showed his knowledge by answering the challenge, and he had no choice but to respond to the orthodox academic tradition! It's a shame that Wang Shouren used sophistry on the art of war at the Sutra banquet.
, it is really not what a gentleman would do!"
When Yang Tinghe saw Yang Shen coming back, he interrupted and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Shen thought about his father's invitation to Yang Yiqing but failed. It might not be good to say it here now, so he shook his head: "It's a small matter."
Although it was a trivial matter, he did not explain it clearly. Yang Tinghe knew that he would ask questions later, so he said to the people rushing to his house tonight: "No need to worry. I already stated my interests to your majesty that day, and your majesty is now very eager to learn. Strangely,
Skills and cleverness block the way of thinking. Today, Wang Bo'an avoids talking about fundamental issues. A gentleman can clearly tell that the foundation of his knowledge is not correct. Even though there are Chen Baisha and Zhan Ganquan who have been teaching the mind for many years, they have not caused many scholars in the world to follow them.
Dao. Today, Wang Bo'an is just relying on Chen Hao's fame to reach the heavens. Your Majesty wants to see him and borrow his military achievements. Since the Duke was named Zhongwu, Wang Bo'an also agreed to be civilized and military. The lectures on the scriptures are empty, and the borrowing of the name is real. Otherwise, the palace examination will be planned.
Why do you need to ask the honorable ministers and generals?"
This explanation actually made many people "understand" a lot about the Xinxue successors who came to the Jingyan to lecture on the scriptures, but some people still muttered angrily: "The Jingyan is such a solemn place, how can it be done in this matter..."
"Be careful!" Yang Tinghe frowned and interrupted him, "Wang Bo'an is also very knowledgeable, but it is true that he can understand the method of achieving conscience, which is already showing his talent. Although he avoided talking about it today, how could he know that he
Have you not achieved great success in studying the classics with your heart? If you are really clumsy, today's situation will be really difficult to deal with. Each of you should write books and invite me, a great scholar from the Confucian school, to come to the capital and wait for things to change."
It is always right to prepare for the worst first.
Now let’s just talk about one thing for conscience. What if the next seed really grows and sprouts?
As for Wang Shouren's many calculations and motives for going to the Jingyan to lecture today, Yang Tinghe, who suspected that he had stepped into a trap that day, did not think about it later.
But there is no way, this is a conspiracy, but the only way left is to simply refute Wang Shouren at the Sutra Banquet.
That's why he casually read Wang Shouren's sermon with the dignity of a cabinet minister before speaking.
It's a pity... This Wang Bo'an is indeed a figure who can put down the Chenhao Rebellion with a wave of his hand.
Slippery or not!
It wasn't until everyone said goodbye and left that he asked Yang Shen again: "What happened just now?"
After Yang Shen answered, he asked: "Father, your Majesty not only persuades you to stay but also creates new enemies for you. What is your intention?"
Yang Tinghe thought of the "heart-to-heart" conversation that day, and gradually turned into a person who really taught his son some practical things. He could only sigh: "The king and his ministers are determined to keep this dignity. As a father, I can neither leave nor cause another turmoil if I stay.
You still need to do your best in your position, and your heart must have a place to fall."
Yang Shen understood it for a moment, then asked speechlessly: "So you invited that heretic to kill your father?"
"Whether it is really possible to implement the new law, or whether it is difficult to implement the new law due to the turbulent public sentiment, we can also tell something from this intellectual dispute." Yang Tinghe shook his head, "Fortunately, it is only an intellectual dispute, and the turmoil is minimal. Your Majesty's conspiracy is not a waste.
I am trying my best to be the first to be a father. Do you understand?"
Yang Shen could only say that he seemed to understand.
But he was confused about one thing: did the fifteen-year-old emperor really have so many calculations and intentions in this matter?
