Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 208

Zheng Damu was kind and kind, and Huang Zongxi often talked with his teacher about scriptures and Taoism, so Zheng Damu blushed and didn't say anything.

Zheng Damu is Qian Qianyi's disciple, while Huang Zongxi is Qian Qianyi's like-minded friend and right-hand man.This member Donglin Jianjiang has become active in the political arena since he joined Fushe.The two have known each other for a long time through Qian Qianyi's relationship.

In terms of profound knowledge, Huang Zongxi is more than enough to be Zheng Damu's teacher, but because of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, Huang Zongxi dare not let Zheng Damu call him elder, but Zheng Damu always respects him like his predecessor.

When the two met on such an occasion today, Huang Zongxi became agitated as he lectured his juniors, unceremoniously rising to a political height.

Seeing Zheng Damu's momentary conclusion, Huang Zongxi snapped back and said, "I never expected that there would be such a junior among Qian Gong's disciples. It's a pity that the emperor himself granted the post of Hundred Households of Jinyiwei. After finishing his studies, he will serve as the governor of Jinyiwei North Town It's ridiculous, sad, and lamentable to be so disdainful after arguing for a long time!"

Huang Zongxi's sharp language not only hurt Zheng Damu, but also showed disrespect to the emperor in his words.

These few words stabbed Zheng Damu like a knife, if he could bear to belittle him, but belittling his majesty is deeply rooted in loyalty to the emperor and he cannot bear it, so Zheng Damu blushed, "Too Chong Brother, late life is so stubborn that you can’t do anything, and you have caused your mentor to be poor, and you are willing to be punished, but please don’t bring the emperor into trouble because of your late life.”

"Hahaha..." Huang Zongxi laughed out loud seeing Zheng Damu's embarrassed face, "Your Majesty, you know that there is an Emperor, but do you know what an Emperor is?"

Zheng Damu said: "The emperor is the son of heaven, all women and children know it!"

Huang Zongxi shook his head, seeing that there were a lot of people in the courtyard, most of whom were the young masters, he suddenly raised his voice, "Everyone is rich and young, I'm Huang Zongxi, I think many of you are here to rush for the exam, there are essays and martial arts exams For example, I'm the same as you and others, this time I'm rushing to take the exam, and I'm good at learning to be an official. But do you know what an emperor is?"

His voice was very loud, and this attracted a lot of people, because this topic is very sensitive, so sensitive that this is a restricted area and most people dare not set foot in it. Hearing his big fanfare, everyone turned around and talked in a low voice. The emperor still has something to discuss ?Anyone else dare to discuss it?Judging by his age, this should be an old Gongsheng student. He is really courageous. If he dares to discuss this topic in the capital, isn't he afraid of disaster?Maybe he's a flattering, grandstanding person.

At this time, Huang Zongxi continued: "Mingyi hangs his wings, and a gentleman walks without food for three days. When people die, the master has something to say. Human beings drink blood like hair, and the kings of civilization start from Yao and Shun, and they are immortal. Let the world benefit from it, and let the world relieve its harm. In ancient times, the sky was the master, and the king was the guest. Whoever manages the king for the rest of his life is the world. The benefit of the world is for oneself, and the harm of the world All belong to the people, not the emperor's actions."

"So the world cannot be governed by one person, so officials are set up. Officials are separate monarchs. Therefore, the names of monarchs and ministers are different but they are the same. In view of this, those who are ministers are teachers and friends of the monarch, not slaves. I am an official since I came out, and I am not a king for the world, nor a surname for the people!"

"Well said!" Someone understood it, and shouted: "Mr. Huang is righteous, I admire him!" He took the lead, and they all followed suit.

Huang Zongxi is worthy of being a Confucian scholar, thinker, and statesman. After advocating, all the people in the courtyard were attracted to him, including the black-faced and white-faced sons and the young master who is good at bows and arrows. , Collecting equipment have gathered around.

Zheng Damu saw that Huang Zongxi was so presumptuous, and he couldn't get in his mouth for a while when he wanted to refute.

He Xuanjiao also returned to Zhu Yousong's side. It has been almost half a year since Zhu Yousong came to this world. In addition to force and power, he has come into contact with virtuous officials and famous Confucians. Under the influence of such an environment, he has learned classical Chinese in his previous life He is not too bad, and now he is accustomed to these things, coupled with his later generations' understanding of Huang Zongxi, at this time he certainly understands that Huang Zongxi is opposing the arbitrariness of imperial power and his "family world", and advocates the division of imperial power To the cabinet, to the world.

Zhu Yousong frowned, did this great scholar in the annals of history speak against me in public?To sensationalize and confuse people's hearts, how courageous!

At this time, Li Quan and Xiaohong also squeezed to his side, Fuer told Zhu Yousong that the factory fan had come in, and those young masters were all under surveillance, Zhu Yousong nodded and told Li Quan not to disturb them.

"My lord, do you want to arrest and punish this guy who despises the emperor?" Li Quan also knew that Huang Zongxi was disrespectful to the emperor, so he asked Zhu Yousong in a low voice. The heavily armed Jin Yiwei was also waiting nearby.

Zhu Yousong was speechless, as if he was thinking about something.

Wang Duo shook his head and said: "Young master, you can't. Huang Taichong is a villain. His father, Huang Su, is one of the six gentlemen of Donglin. The three of Huang Zongxi and his brothers are all celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River. They are very knowledgeable and have great influence. , such as thunder in the sky, this person participated in the imperial examination in the northern capital as early as the emperor Chongzhen was in Japan, and his name was lost to Sun Shan. He has hatred for the emperor and the government, and he has been in prison. The mouth is better than Fangchuan."

Zhu Yousong nodded, "That makes sense."

"Should we just let it go and let this thief talk nonsense and stir up people's hearts?" He Xuanjiao, Xiaohong, and Li Quan were all indignant.

"My lord, the villain is proficient in Wenmo, how about waiting for the villain to go over and have a theory with him?" Wang Duo asked for an order.

Zhu Yousong shook his head.

"My lord, the villain will never disgrace your mission or shame your lord. If not, I would like to suffer all punishments." Wang Duo thought that Zhu Yousong didn't believe in his ability, so he swore that Zhu Yousong didn't believe in his ability, so he vowed to play tricks and talk quietly. I really didn't take this boastful Huang Zongxi seriously.

But Zhu Yousong knew that Wang Duo wanted to compete with Huang Zongxi, and no one would win.

When it comes to writing, even ten Huang Zongxi have to bow down, but when it comes to preaching scriptures, Wang Duo has to bow down, because without Wang Duo's introduction, Zhu Yousong knows Huang Zongxi too well. He is a great thinker in the late Ming and early Qing. As famous as Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi, he is known as the father of Chinese Enlightenment thought, and he is also a classics scientist, historian, geographer, astronomy calendar scientist, and educator. With so many families, who can match his eloquence?

And more importantly, as far as the law of historical development is concerned, a constitutional monarchy is superior to feudal imperial power. On the contrary, Wang Duo is not like a mantis, Zhu Yousong certainly would not do such a stupid thing.

But Wang Duo had to step down the steps, so he thought: "Sir, don't misunderstand, it's not that I demoted you. No one can match your talent. It's just that you also said that the surname Huang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. You Once the verbal battle between the two begins, it must be a fierce battle, and now I have a way to make Huang Zongxi shut up immediately!"
