Chapter 131 The World's Invincible Fighting in the Nest [Seeking Double Monthly Pass]

Perhaps because of the news that Li Huan was about to leave the capital, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong and others all rushed over.

At the banquet Zhu Houzhao set up for Li Huan, the monarchs and ministers put aside their respective identities, laughed and drank happily.

In the eyes of Gu Dayong and others, Li Huan's choice to go to the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian this time is entirely to place himself in an extremely dangerous environment.

This can be seen from the fact that during this period of time Liu Jin not only sent a large number of masters to secretly guard Liu Jin, but even the central Beijing garrison sent a hundred household officers to lead soldiers and horses to accompany them.

Even so, Liu Jin was still assassinated from time to time, which shows how many people Liu Jin has offended by implementing the New Deal, and how many people want Liu Jin to die.

Even if Li Huan went to the place under the pretext of investigating the case of Han Ling's extermination of thousands of households in Jinyiwei, given how much the civil official group hated Li Huan, it would be fine if Li Huan stayed in the capital, but Liu Jin attracted the attention of the civil official group. For a while, no one came to trouble Li Huan.

However, once Li Huan leaves the capital, the Civil Service Group doesn't mind taking care of Li Huan as well. Anyway, as long as he leaves the capital and wants to return to the capital, it will be extremely difficult.

Gu Dayong and the others now regard Li Huan as their own ally, and in addition, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides on weekdays, and they get along fairly well, so they all remind Li Huan cryptically.

It's just that Li Huan's attention has been fixed, and he is grateful to Gu Dayong and others for their kind reminder.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Li Huan, Gu Dayong coughed lightly and said: "Forget it, Brother Li, you have to be careful when you go here. It is really impossible to bring more guards in brocade clothes along the way. How about carefully selecting a group of capable people to go with you and protect you?"

When Gu Day said this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up immediately. He was only worried about Li Huan's safety, but he forgot to think of ways to improve Li Huan's personal safety.

Gu Dayong's words gave Zhu Houzhao the idea of ​​sending soldiers and horses to guard Li Huan.

Then Zhu Houzhao said: "Li Qing, I have ordered the four guards of Tengxiang to dispatch [-] elites to go to Fujian with you?"

Li Huan couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, I'm here to investigate the case, not to quell the rebellion. I brought so many people out of Beijing. Not to mention the many people, the tossing along the way is enough. Besides, the minister If the other party can really threaten me, the addition of these three hundred elites may not be able to play any role."

But Zhu Houzhao insisted on his own opinion: "It is better to have more people than less people. If you really encounter danger, one more person will give you more life."

Li Huan smiled and said: "If Your Majesty is really worried about the safety of your ministers, why not send a hundred soldiers to follow me."

Seeing what Zhu Houzhao wanted to say, Li Huan said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that my ancestral home is in Fujian, and my ancestors inherited the position of Langqi Island Hundred Household Officials. Other guards cannot be transferred, but the soldiers of Langqi Island Guard can still be transferred. .”

Hearing what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao gave up. In fact, he also knew that sending hundreds of soldiers to escort Li Huan to Fujian was already a bit too much. All the guards rebelled, and the Buddha, with the authority he gave to Li Huan, could dispatch local soldiers and horses at any time.

After the banquet, Li Huan accompanied Zhu Houzhao for a slow walk in the imperial garden. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao paused, and suddenly turned around and punched out.

Seeing this, Li Huan just smiled slightly, and avoided Zhu Houzhao's punch with a sway of his figure, but Zhu Houzhao attacked in a row, punching after punch.

After a while, seeing that he couldn't touch Li Huan's clothes, Zhu Houzhao withdrew his hands and looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face. You bumped into me head-on, but in the end you couldn't even touch the corner of your clothes, Li Qing."

Hearing this, Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed a dragon species of the Tian family. Your Majesty has reached the second level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong in less than a year. It takes at least two or three years for ordinary people to practice. With your majesty now His strength is already far beyond ordinary people."

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed at first when he heard the words, as if he was proud of his talent, but soon he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "I and Li Qing practiced Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu almost at the same time, and you have both reached the ninth level , and I have only just cultivated to the second level, this..."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's beaten face, Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty did not say that I have already practiced the Thirteen Taibao Henglian before, and then practice the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu, which will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and make rapid progress."

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "I know that Li Qing, you are amazingly powerful now, but I have also heard that there are many masters in the rivers and lakes. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Li Qing must be careful when going here. There are some things that I would rather take slowly. Come on, I don't want Li Qing to suffer any harm for this."

Others don't know, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't be more clear about the real purpose of Li Huan's trip. The so-called investigation and even revenge for his father are just a cover for the purpose of Li Huan's trip. Compared with what Li Huan has to do, it is simply insignificant little things.

Li Huan was about to speak, when Zhu Houzhao said: "Come here, get the armor!"

Soon Qiu Ju and Gao Feng came over with a few servants holding some things. Li Huan took a look and could roughly see that these should be various parts of a piece of armor.

The armor is dark black, and the color is so shiny that it is not forged from ordinary iron.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "This is the armor specially made for you, Li Qing, by ordering the supervisor to spend more than a month collecting the meteoric iron from the outer space."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao took part of it in his hand. It was heavy, probably weighing more than a dozen catties, and it was just the armguard.

With a light tap, the voice was melodious, Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "This armor is extremely tough. The general prisoner tried to shoot it with firecrackers and crossbows, but it only left a trace of undetectable scratches on its surface. So unless it is Li Qing, you stand still and let the bed crossbow and other big killers shoot at you, otherwise, with this armor on your body, you will be safe."

Li Huan couldn't help being moved. Such a piece of armor looks simple, but in fact, it is hard to find in the world, whether it is the material or the craftsman. An heirloom of armor.

Seeing the change in Li Huan's expression, Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "Come on, put on the armor for Li Qing, and let me see how mighty Li Qing is wearing this armor!"

Gao Feng and Qiu gathered a few servants to come forward and serve Li Huan to put on that piece of armor. I have to say that this full set of armor protected Li Huan's whole body extremely tightly, especially his heart, There is no need to worry about the vest, chest and abdomen and other vital parts.

With the upper body in armor, Li Huan bent his elbows, raised his legs, and swung his fists smoothly, without being affected by the armor on his body at all. Obviously, the craftsman who designed and built this armor had already considered these details.

The armor weighs a hundred catties. If an idle general puts it on, he may not be able to hold on for a long time and will be out of breath. Good self-defense weapon.

Especially for Li Huan, the armor that only weighs a hundred catties is not as light as a feather to him, but he can't feel the slightest pressure.

Wearing a black armor, although it is pure black, it is not rough at all, and the surface is shiny, which sets off Li Huan's heroic aura.

Zhu Houzhao at the side looked at Li Huan's armor and couldn't help but stare at Qiu Ju and Gao Feng and said: "Companion, I ordered you to be a prisoner, so I will use Li Qing's armor for me. Build one."

Obviously, they didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to have such a crazy side. The two dared not go against Zhu Houzhao's will, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Anyway, they followed Zhu Houzhao, and they knew that Zhu Houzhao liked martial arts, and they were following Li Huan to practice a technique that can increase strength, so they were not worried about what harm Zhu Houzhao would be caused by actually forging the armor.

With a loud clatter, Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao was able to think of building such a suit of armor for him. This kind of favor is touching, and Li Huanzi is no exception.

Zhu Houzhao stepped forward to help Li Huan up, looked at Li Huan and said, "I only hope that Li Qing can return safely from this trip, and I still think that one day you will be my great general and open up territories for me."

Hearing the words, Li Huan suddenly felt proud, he laughed and said: "The Great Ming is manifested, the mountains and rivers are eternal, and the sun and the moon shine, all belong to the Han land!"

Zhu Houzhao also said with bright eyes: "The sun and the moon shine, all are Han soil."

On March 28, the second year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, an imperial decree came out, which attracted the attention of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Huan was appointed as the governor of the Chinese army's governor's office, and he enjoyed the honor of the imperial envoy. He toured Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, thoroughly investigated the case of Han Ling's extermination of a thousand households in Jinyiwei in Fujian, and told the local civil and military forces that all should be restrained. Anyone who disobeyed will be punished. Xu cut first and then played.

This decree directly confused many people. Some people pondered what the emperor suddenly sent Li Huan to the southeast as an imperial envoy at the critical juncture of Liu Jin's implementation of the New Deal.

At the same time, some people were overjoyed when they heard the news. In the important place of the capital, Jinyiwei is extremely powerful. Even if they hate Li Huan to death, even if they have all kinds of means, it is difficult to use them. But if Li Huan leaves the capital, they are sure to let Li Huan Huan never had a chance to come back.

Normally speaking, the inspector censor who inspects places on behalf of the sky is usually filled by civil servants, but it is extremely rare for Li Huan to serve as an official of Jinyiwei and the governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion.

But then a decree from the palace shut up some officials who wanted to use this as a problem.

It turned out that Zhu Houzhao ordered Wang Shouren, the censor of the Procuratorate, to accompany him as the deputy inspector.

In the early years of Zhengde, Wang Shouren was relegated to Guizhou Longchang by Liu Jin because he offended Liu Jin. He stayed there for two years. Not long ago, under Li Huan's suggestion, the emperor issued an edict to recall him to the Inspectorate. He was appointed as the supervisory censor of Fujian Province among the thirteen supervisory censors.

It can be said that Wang Shouren has jumped from a Yicheng in Longchang, Guizhou to one of the thirteen supervisory censors, and he has definitely skyrocketed.

Although it is said that there is not much improvement in the rank, but the difference in authority is simply worlds apart.

Any idiot knows what Yicheng is, but the supervisory censor who is in charge of a supervisory department is a department with great power and almost everything that cannot be supervised.

Any supervisory censor who goes down to the place is almost equivalent to the patrol censor representing the emperor. When he sees a senior official, no one is not under his supervision. I am afraid that the other party will present a memorial to the emperor, which will bring disaster to himself.

Although it is said that the emperor appointed Li Huan as the imperial envoy and Wang Yangming as the deputy imperial envoy this time, it was contrary to the usual practice. Naturally, many officials were very dissatisfied.

However, considering the particularity of Li Huan's identity and the thorough investigation of a major case within Jinyiwei, it is rare that the civil official group did not make a big fuss about this matter to obstruct it, so that the emperor's will was passed smoothly.

After Li Huan received the emperor's order, he immediately ordered Chen Yao to gather three hundred Jinyiwei. Come and listen.

The official name of the Hundred Households in charge of commanding the [-] Tengxiang Four Guards is Zhao Dazhu. Although the name is not very good, Zhao Dazhu can stand out among the Tengxiang Four Guards and was selected by Gu Dayong to be used by Li Huan. real stuff.

Zhao Dazhu, who is about 30 years old, was born in a local guard. His father is a hereditary guard with a thousand households. It is a pity that he has two older brothers, so the hereditary Qianhu official has no chance for him, but Zhao Dazhu is born with supernatural powers. , I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have developed a good martial arts.

So Zhao Dazhu's father cleared up the relationship when Millennium Gu Dayong was rectifying the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp and sent Zhao Dazhu to the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp.

Relying on his formidable strength, Zhao Dazhu came into Gu Dayong's sight in a military competition, and jumped from a small corps leader to a hundred household officer who commanded hundreds of elite soldiers.

His strength was praised by Gu Dayong as one of the top three among the nearly 2 people in the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp.

To be honest, Li Huan was quite surprised when he saw Zhao Dazhu, because Zhao Dazhu also practiced the foreign kung fu inherited from the general family, and his strength was even stronger than Chen Yidao in Li Huan's opinion. Definitely the best of the best.

Because he was born in a hereditary family of thousands of households, and he was employed in the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp under the jurisdiction of the Yumajian, Zhao Dazhu did not have the slightest reluctance or dissatisfaction with being sent to serve under Li Huan.

Compared with the arrogance and disdain of the civil official group when facing Jin Yiwei, eunuchs or generals, Zhao Dazhu's background obviously does not have such problems.

Especially when Li Huan took the initiative to fight with him, but with a dozen or so moves, he was powerless to fight, which made Zhao Dazhu completely convinced Li Huan.

Looking at the three hundred Jinyiwei and one hundred Tengxiang Four Guards elite soldiers, although there were only 400 of them, Li Huan felt as if he was facing thousands of horses.

After inspecting Jin Yiwei and all the soldiers, Li Huan turned to Chen Yao and said, "Have you notified that Wang Yangming who is the supervisory censor?"

Chen Yao hurriedly said: "After His Majesty's decree was issued, the subordinates have sent people to inform Wang Yushi to come here to meet up. Maybe that Lord Yushi is just like those civil servants. He didn't even remember that His Majesty sent him from Longchang, Guizhou. That ghost place transferred back the kindness of the capital, maybe it's deliberately putting on airs!"

It wasn't just Chen Yao who had such an idea, it can be said that everyone present, including the newcomer Zhao Dazhu, also had the same idea.

It has long been a practice for civil officials in the court to look down on military generals, let alone officials as noble as the Supervisory Censor. If Wang Yangming would look up to them, they themselves would not believe it.

Although Li Huan also knew that this last sage of Confucianism who was only born in 500 years must not be comparable to ordinary people, but his impression of Wang Yangming was more from the records of later generations. It's hard to judge.

After all, he had never dealt with this famous Confucian tycoon, let alone even met him once.

However, Li Huan does not think that Wang Yangming will have any opinion of him because of his identity as Jin Yiwei and military official. If this is true, then he is not Wang Yangming. Sage.

Seeing Li Huan's calm expression, Chen Yao couldn't tell what Li Huan was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little bit resentful towards Wang Shouren who hadn't arrived for a long time.

Looking at Li Huan, Chen Yao said: "My lord, do you want to send someone to urge him? My lord is the official envoy of this trip, and he is just a deputy envoy. Even if he is a noble supervisor, You shouldn't let adults wait here for him."

Li Huan waved his hands and smiled: "No need, then Wang Yangming is not as prepared as we are, he can set off at any time once he gets the imperial edict, just wait."

Since Li Huan said so, everyone naturally stood there and waited honestly.

Wang Shouren himself was quite surprised when he received the imperial edict, and at the same time, the puzzle in his heart was solved at once.

It turned out that Wang Shouren was relegated to go to any post office in Longchang, Guizhou. Although life was a bit rough, he got rid of worldly troubles and entanglements, and devoted himself to sorting out what he had learned in that pure place outside the world.

Not long ago, he finally integrated what he had learned all over his body, and realized the truth of the mind.

After sorting out what he had learned, Wang Yangming wanted to give lectures in the local area. At this time, the imperial court issued a decree to recall him, and he was promoted from a relegated postman to a supervisory censor.

Liu Jin has great power and arrogance above the court, and he was relegated to Guizhou Longchang because he offended Liu Jin. Under such circumstances, no one would take the risk of offending Liu Jin to relegate him like this The person transferred back to the capital.

However, such a decree came from the imperial court. Wang Yangming returned to Beijing full of doubts, and then went to the Procuratorate to handle the documents for assuming office.

Wang Yangming still remembered that when he was handling the formalities with the officials of the Inspectorate with the documents from the Ministry of Officials, many people in the Inspectorate looked at him so strangely.

At that time, Wang Yangming didn't know what the eyes of those people meant when they looked at him, but it didn't take long before Wang Yangming learned the whole story from some friends.

The reason why he was able to be transferred back to the capital from Longchang, Guizhou, and was awarded the Qinggui position of a supervisory censor was entirely because Li Huanzuo invited the emperor.

Knowing that he was transferred back to the capital because of Li Huan, Wang Yangming was naturally very puzzled, because he asked himself that he had no intersection with Li Huan at all, and there was no relationship.

When he was relegated, Li Huan hadn't entered Beijing yet. When Li Huan entered Beijing, he had already settled down in Longchang, Guizhou.

It can be said that if Li Huan's reputation wasn't too great, Wang Yangming didn't even know who Li Huan was.

Looking at the imperial decree, Wang Yangming suddenly had a feeling that the reason why he was transferred back was probably to serve as a deputy envoy for Li Huan's trip to Fujian.

To be honest, Wang Yangming didn't have any different views on Li Huan. As for the slander of Li Huan from the outside world, Wang Yangming naturally scoffed.

Even because he was transferred back to Beijing because of Li Huan, he was able to become an Inspectorate, and the entanglement between the Inspectorate and Li Huan is well known. It can be said that the censors in the Inspectorate Bajiu wished that Li Huan would be impeached and sacked, and then convicted of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

It is conceivable that under such circumstances, Wang Yangming, who had a relationship with Li Huan, naturally became a different kind of existence in the Procuratorate, and many people even secretly ridiculed him, that is to say, Wang Yangming experienced a relegation. After staying in Guizhou for three years, my whole heart has already become calm, and I don't care about other people's opinions at all.

Looking at the imperial decree in his hand, Wang Yangming summoned Xu Ai, the only disciple around him, and said, "Yue Ren, tidy up and salute, and go to see imperial envoy Li Huan as a teacher!"

Xu Ai looked at the imperial decree in Wang Yangming's hand and couldn't help saying: "Teacher, you really want to accept this imperial decree. Originally, you were misunderstood by everyone in the Inspectorate because you were transferred back to the Inspectorate. An imperial decree to serve as Li Huan's deputy envoy, I'm afraid everyone will think that you and him are in the same party."

Wang Yangming couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he glanced at Xu Ai and said, "Yueren, he acts as a teacher, why did he care what others think, if they think Wang is Li Huan's party, then so be it!"

Xu Ai bowed to Wang Yangming and said, "Disciple, go and pack your luggage."

When Wang Yangming appeared in front of Li Huan with his disciple Xu Ai, Li Huan couldn't help but look at Wang Yangming in surprise.

Wang Yangming was nearly 40 years old at the time, but he didn't look like a person who was nearly [-] years old at all. He was full of energy, and he already had the air of a master.

"This is……"

Li Huan was shocked in his heart, saying that the capital is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, but Li Huan really hasn't seen anyone that he can't see through these days, even if there are strong people who are invisible, their strength is no better than him How much is stronger.

But looking at Wang Yangming at this moment, Li Huan actually has a feeling that he can't see through the other party. The feeling Wang Yangming gives you and Li Huan is like a deep pool, deep and unpredictable.

While Li Huan was looking at Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming was also looking at Li Huan. Li Huan had a good reputation, even if it was a bad name, it was still famous.

"What a young talent, he is really a rare talent in the country!"

Although I don't know how talented Li Huan is, but based on Li Huan's rare military strength, it can be said that he is a general of the generation.

It can be said that the first impressions of the two when they saw each other were very good.Although Li Huan was less than twenty years old, who made him favored by the emperor, he held a high position at a young age, and his rank was far superior to Wang Shouren, who was a supervisory censor.

Therefore, Wang Shouren bowed his hands to Li Huan at the first moment and said, "My next officer, Fujian Dao Supervisory Censor Wang Shouren, pays homage to Master Li!"

Seeing this, Li Huan hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at Wang Yangming: "Li Huan has heard of Mr. Yangming's name for a long time, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!"

Supporting Wang Yangming's act of bowing down, Li Huan said with a smile on his face: "With the help of Mr. Yangming this time, the trip to Fujian will be worry-free!"

Although he didn't know why Li Huan was so enthusiastic, Wang Yangming seemed quite calm and didn't change because of Li Huan's courtesy.

"Your Excellency is absurd. This time, I will try my best to help you with your errands."

Seeing Wang Yangming's business-like attitude, Li Huan was not angry at all. No one knew what his reputation was like than himself. It was beyond expectation that Wang Yangming didn't put on a face and turn away thousands of miles when he came up. .

While speaking, Li Huan took a look, only to find that Wang Yangming had only brought one disciple with him, and even the salute was nothing more than a package. He couldn't help but wondered, "Mr. Yangming, when will your people arrive?"

Only when Wang Yangming's servants should still be behind, so Li Huan asked.

As a result, Wang Yangming stroked his beard and shook his head, "There are only two officials and disciple Xu Ai here, no one else!"

Li Huan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Yangming is really free and easy, Li admires it."

As he spoke, Li Huan turned to Wang Yangming and said, "I don't know if it's possible for you to ride a horse?"

Wang Yangming smiled slightly and said, "Poems, books, rites, music, and imperial archery are the foundation of my scholar. Although Yangming is not as good as an adult, he can still be a war horse."

Li Huan waved his hand and said, "Come here, prepare the horse for Mr. Yangming!"

Li Huan had already seen that Wang Yangming's cultivation was unpredictable, and even the disciples who followed him were somewhat cultivated, so he naturally didn't worry that the two of them would get injured because of riding a horse.

Soon everyone got on their horses, and when they heard Li Huan's order, the mighty team of hundreds of people immediately headed towards the city gate.

Along the way, the noise made by Li Huan and others was not small, and many people watched from a distance, especially the three hundred brocade guards and one hundred elite soldiers, which stunned many people. The Wang Ming Banner and other banners raised the momentum of Li Huan's team to the extreme.

After leaving the capital, the original bustling scene suddenly disappeared, and the brigade marched, even though the official roads were maintained all the year round, the places they passed were still billowing with smoke and dust, but within half a day, almost everyone was covered in dust.

It is true that the traffic environment in ancient times was very good. On a sunny day, there would be billowing smoke and dust, and the sky would be full of wind and sand. If it caught up with the big majesty, the road would almost become a muddy quagmire, making it difficult to travel.

Therefore, a person who came from a long way away was already quite lucky, at least he did not catch up with the rainy weather, otherwise he would not be covered in dust, but muddy.

Normally, if Li Huan and his party wanted to go to Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in a short period of time, then the best way would be to go directly along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and with the help of water, they could directly reach Hangzhou and enter the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's just that Li Huan didn't intend to take the water route. Instead, he went all the way south along the official road, passing Baoding Mansion and Shunde Mansion, all the way non-stop, except for necessary rest, he hardly stopped.

Half a month later, the group had already entered the border of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province. After spending many days together along the way, Li Huan and Wang Yangming became acquainted a lot.

Although Wang Yangming is a scholar of erudition and great Confucianism, Li Huan is not bad either. He has experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, and now he has the ability to never forget. In the past few years, Li Huan has not only Practicing martial arts, the habit of studying prose from his predecessor is also inherited, and he has read countless classics.

Therefore, in the conversation with Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming was greatly amazed by the kind of extensive knowledge and refreshing insights on some issues revealed intentionally or unconsciously.

Although he dare not say that he has gained enough favorability to become a close friend, but Li Huan dared to say that after his exchanges and debates with Wang Yangming these days, Wang Yangming's attitude towards him has undergone a great change unconsciously.

At this time, on a carriage, Li Huan and Wang Yangming were sitting opposite each other, in front of them was a chessboard, with black and white chess pieces intertwined, which showed how intense the two were fighting on this chessboard.

Wang Yangming dropped a pawn, glanced at Li Huan and said, "Master Li, you stop and go along the way, if you continue like this, you may not be able to reach Fujian in two months."

Li Huan just smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry, take your time, it's good to appreciate the customs and customs along the way."

Stroking his beard, Wang Yangming said indifferently: "I don't know the next stop, where is your lord going to appreciate the local customs?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "Since we have come to Kaifeng, we should visit the Songyang Academy and visit the thousand-year-old temple. It is said that Songyang Academy is one of the holy places of Confucianism, and the adjacent Shaolin Temple is even more beautiful. It’s the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, isn’t Mr. Yangming not interested?”

Hearing what Li Huan said, although he knew in his heart that Li Huan's purpose was not to appreciate ancient temples with a thousand years of age, nor to visit some holy places of Confucianism, but for a literati like him, no matter whether it is a holy place of Buddhism or a holy place of Confucianism, there are great benefits. attraction.

Turning his mind, Wang Yangming smiled slightly and said: "Master Li is the official envoy of the imperial envoy, Wang will follow Master Li's arrangement in everything."

As he said that, Wang Yangming glanced at Li Huan, and pointed out: "Eunuch Liu's new policy was launched with good intentions, but don't you know that there are policies and countermeasures at the bottom, and many policies that benefit the people are quickly transformed by some officials? The government that harms the people, this journey, I guess the adults can see it clearly!"

Li Huan's son said: "Mr. Yangming also said that there is nothing wrong with the New Deal, and it is the officials who implement the New Deal that are wrong, right?"

Wang Yangming heard the meaning of Li Huan's words, and sighed.

One day later, a group of people entered Dengfeng County. Three hundred brocade guards and more than a hundred armored soldiers had their own arrangements, while Li Huan brought more than a dozen brocade guards and Wang Yangming's master and apprentice. Go to Yang Academy.

Songyang Academy is one of the most famous academies in the world, although it was said that Songyang Academy was destroyed several times in the early years in order to combat the influence of major academies in the world.

However, since the end of the Chenghua Dynasty, Songyang Academy began to develop again, especially during the ten years of Emperor Xiaozong's reign, Songyang Academy flourished under the support of the civil official group, and became one of the largest academies in the world one.

Entering these academies, there are famous scholars to teach, and even Su Lao, an official who has served in the imperial court, teaches. There are teachers and connections, so that many students come to study one after another.

Gradually, a potential academy force gradually formed in the court. It is conceivable that these students are studying here and are classmates with each other.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has vigorously promoted the education of imperial examinations. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely harsh on officials, his emphasis on education is definitely rare in the ages.

Even at the expense of giving these scholars extremely high treatment and even privileges, after hundreds of years of hard work of several generations of kings, Daming has definitely reached the peak in terms of education compared with previous dynasties.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperors of all dynasties have also spared no effort to crack down on academy education, because the emperors of all dynasties knew very well that this kind of education method is definitely a breeding ground for cronies.

Under such circumstances, Songyang Academy was destroyed four times. However, after vigorous development during Xiaozong’s period, Songyang Academy today covers a vast area, with buildings all over the place. There are hundreds of thousands of scholars from all over the world. In the past, Songyang Academy was at its peak.

Li Huan just stood at the entrance of Songyang Academy, watching the groups of scholars going in and out, everything was so quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly, Li Huan looked at Wang Yangming, who was looking at Songyang Academy, and said, "Mr. Yangming, you said that since the Taizu, several generations of emperors have banned local academies in the Ming Dynasty. Is this right or wrong?"

Wang Yangming obviously didn't expect Li Huan to ask him such a question all of a sudden, even Wang Yangming hesitated for a while.

The advantage of the existence of the academy is naturally that it can better teach and educate people, and cultivate virtuous talents for the country. This is obviously the benefit of the academy.

After all, all kinds of classics were extremely rare among the people in the past, and scholars who wanted to find a book had to go to a noble family to obtain it. At that time, the existence of academies obviously provided a good reading environment for many scholars who were studying.

With the guidance of great scholars and Confucianists, there are mountains of classics to read. The existence of academies has definitely greatly promoted the spread and development of culture.

However, with the improvement of papermaking and printing techniques, coupled with the continuous improvement and development of official education at all levels in the Ming Dynasty after hundreds of years, the difficulties of scholars in studying have been completely solved.

At this time, the existence of the academy was not as important as it was at the beginning. Instead, it was banned by the court because it was very likely to become a breeding ground for cronies.

Looking at Wang Yangming's hesitant look, Li Huan couldn't help but smiled and said: "I think you also understand in your heart whether the existence of this academy is a benefit or a disadvantage to my Ming Dynasty, right?"

Wang Yangming sighed and said: "But the existence of the academy itself is not wrong, it's only the people in it who are wrong!"

Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help secretly praising him in his heart. He is indeed a sage born only in 500 years. Obviously, he has a clear understanding of the problems of the academy.

The academy is right, those who are wrong are those who enter the academy to study, Li Huan dare to say that in this academy, at least most of the students who come to the academy to study, their minds are already impure.

It is definitely an exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty died due to party struggles, but the fierce party struggles in the Ming Dynasty are definitely a major reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. It is partisanship.

I have to say that the literati in Ming Dynasty are really powerful. First, they fought with Wu Xun and worked together to kill and disable the Xungui Group that stood side by side with them on the court by taking advantage of the civil fortress change, and completely suppressed them. .

Without the restraint and balance of the Wuxun Group, the civil official group expanded rapidly, forcing the emperor to reuse the eunuchs, so the civil official group continued to compete with the eunuch group. They were all powerless to compete with them, so the invincible civil official group began to fight in the nest, split into several major factions internally, and the party struggle developed and grew stronger, staged the famous party struggle drama in the late Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the most famous one is the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party grew from the Donglin Academy, and eventually became a powerful force leading the court and even the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Wang Yangming fascinated, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, it is an ancient academy that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Although it has been banned several times, it has been revived several times, and the foundation is still there. Mr. Yangming would like to experience the ancient culture of this academy with Li. charm."

Withdrawing his thoughts, he glanced at Li Huan, Wang Yangming sighed softly, followed Li Huan into Songyang Academy, and said: "Accompanying you through this journey, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a blessing for this Songyang Academy." disaster."

Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "The Supreme Master said: There is no such thing as good or bad, but people call on themselves, and good and evil are repaid like shadows. Therefore, there is a god who punishes mistakes in heaven and earth, and according to the severity of people's crimes, they will be counted!"

This sentence comes from "Taishang Induction Chapter". Wang Yangming's erudition naturally knows the truth of it, and he also knows what Li Huan said.

Therefore, Wang Yangming's original worries became more and more serious after Li Huan's words. In Wang Yangming's eyes, the bright sunshine, the courtyard shaded by bamboo forests, and even the small groups of literati seemed to gradually become more and more serious. A layer of haze color.

Li Huan was dressed in vigorous attire, while Wang Yangming also dressed casually, which looked very different in this academy full of blue shirts and long robes.

Therefore, when the two walked into Songyang Academy, they immediately attracted the attention of many literati around them. Even before the two walked a few steps into the academy, several scholars in green shirts rushed towards them. step by step.
