Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 211 The Emperor Is By Your Side

Wang Duo, He Xuanjiao, Li Quan, Xiao Hong and the others were full of pride, letting the Donglin Party deal with the Donglin Party. This move was more enjoyable than their previous fights, which made their faces blush and their necks thicker, or the emperor had a way.

At this time, it should be Zheng Damu who is as happy as Zhu Yousong and even more happy than Zhu Yousong. This debate originated from him and Huang Zongxi. He can't compete with him in terms of eloquence, but he absolutely does not agree with Huang Zongxi's heresy. When there was no way to refute, he didn't expect the teacher to appear in time, let alone the teacher's remarks, which made the arrogant Huang Zongxi shut up directly. Zheng Damu felt very happy and praised Qian Qianyi: " The mentor is worthy of being a mentor!"

Zhu Yousong and the others were happy, but Huang Zongxi couldn't stand it, but he didn't dare to be too aggressive in front of the leader, suppressing his anger, and just about to argue, Liu Rushi quietly pulled his skirt, gave him a wink and shook his head as a signal.

Huang Zongxi is full of blood, and now his head is a little congested, but Huang Zongxi, who has the title of "Five Masters of the Future", is certainly not a slow-witted person. He can see that Mrs. Qian signaled him not to let him talk too much, and he also realized that the couple sang this song together. There must be something hidden, so I had to acquiesce that my theory just now is crazy.

Qian Qianyi's words made those watching the crowd nod frequently. The key point is that Huang Zongxi, who was eloquent just now, bowed his head and kept silent like a child who made mistakes. These people were quickly persuaded by Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi loudly praised Zhu Yousong's merits. Of course, these are not his words, nor are he talking about them, but what Zhu Yousong has done in the past few months. Because he also has a special audience, that is, his Majesty Zhu Yousong. He must speak with evidence, and he can't make out of nothing, and can't make false statements. Otherwise, if Zhu Yousong finds it unpleasant, he will be in vain today.

It should be said that Qian Qianyi's inappropriate speech was very successful. People who were originally attracted by Huang Zongxi felt that the arbitrariness of imperial power is the root of all evil. Alright, and to open up territories, drive out thieves, and recover Daming, the arbitrariness of imperial power is indispensable and imperative.

Qian Qianyi's speech taking over Huang Zongxi took longer than Huang Zongxi's, because it is generally more difficult to persuade people than to attract people. Qian Qianyi spoke dryly until Zhu Yousong's face showed joy, until He didn't finish his speech when the spectators enthusiastically raised their hands high.

The spectators dispersed one after another, and Huang Zongxi also left with a dejected expression on his face.

Zheng Damu hurried over to greet Qian Qianyi, only then did Qian Qianyi know that this proud student was also there, and just happened to be looking for him for something important, so he pretended not to recognize Zhu Yousong, and he, Zheng Damu, and Liu Rushi dispersed The crowd also came out of this courtyard.

Back in his mansion, Zheng Damu greeted his master again, and said that he learned a lot from his master today.

Qian Qianyi smiled and nodded. In fact, there was something ugly behind Qian Qianyi's smile, but Zheng Damu didn't notice it.Just imagine forcing a leader to oppose the leader's political views in public, this is more uncomfortable than killing him!
But these pains must not be explained to the proud student in front of him who shoulders his important mission. After Zheng Damu was asked to sit down, the servant offered tea. Qian Qianyi said with a heavy heart: "Da Mu, do you know why the teacher called you here?"

"Students are stupid, please tell the teacher clearly."

Qian Qianyi took a sip of tea, slowly put the teacup on the table, looked at Zheng Damu, and said earnestly: "If you are good at learning, you will be an official. The day after tomorrow is the day of the national exam. The factory guards, traitors, and generals in the four towns, the emperor has cleaned them all, and now he is using troops to recover the lost ground. A good man is very useful. As a teacher, I want you to be named on the gold list. With fame and fame, the future is limitless, and a man should not be a petty official."

Zheng Damu's blood surged, "Thanks to the teacher's cultivation, to be honest, the students did not plan to take the imperial examination, but now the students have changed their minds, not only to take the literary examination, but also to take the martial arts examination."

Qian Qianyi nodded, then shook his head again, "Forget it. I have a saying that those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others. It is enough to have a literary test, but you don't need a martial arts test. Order, guarding the frontiers is the job of generals and warriors, and Damu is a member of the court party, why should he take care of the affairs of the countryside?"

It was the social inertia of the Ming Dynasty that civilian officials suppressed generals, and it became more and more severe at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This was also an important factor in the accumulation and weakness of the Ming army. Cannons cheer, or take advantage of the danger to be a turtle.Qian Qianyi's words revealed the civil servants' contempt for military commanders.

Zheng Damu is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Although he does not agree with Qian Qianyi's theory, as a student, it is not easy to refute the teacher. The three cardinal principles and five constant rules are deeply rooted in his heart. Master and apprentice are like father and son, and the teacher's words are his guidelines.

Zheng Damu agreed to abandon the martial arts examination and only take the literary examination. Qian Qianyi was so happy that he almost leaked the unique proposition of the emperor this year, but he swallowed the words again, sent Zheng Damu away, and ordered someone to go Invite Huang Zongxi here.

In fact, there is no need to invite, Huang Zongxi has already been waiting for him in the guest room, accompanied by Liu Rushi.In the secret room, Qian Qianyi met Huang Zongxi.

As soon as he met this great enlightenment thinker, his face was full of words. Before he could ask, Qian Qianyi said: "Tai Chong, do you know who is present here today?"

Huang Zongxi shook his head, with so many audiences, how could he know all of them?But I know that the most important thing is to rush for the exam.

"The emperor is one of them."

"Emperor..." Huang Zongxi was so shocked that his eyes widened, "Qian Gong, the emperor is here too?" Huang Zongxi felt incredible, he couldn't believe it, the emperor is the king of the nine kings, he should stay in the palace, not the three palaces and six courtyards, The nearby ministers and guards, once out of the palace, echoed thousands of times, and most of the people present were princes and wealthy, so where is the shadow of the royal family?
"It's absolutely true..." Qian Qianyi told the story, Huang Zongxi was stunned, the emperor was by his side after a long time of trouble, he was really blind, no wonder Qian Gong behaved so abnormally today.

But after being astonished, Huang Zongxi said in relief: "Dr. Qian, so why not? The emperor's make-up is probably to find out the sufferings of the people. Why not let him listen to a few words of Ni Longlin? Arbitrary, re-use eunuchs, and the cabinet is shrinking." All the officials are silent like cicadas, or submissive, or parroting their tongues, flattering their horses, these are the real malpractices of a foolish monarch. I will point it out to him in this way. Wouldn't it be better for him to hear it with his own ears? Don't worry, Mr. Qian, if the factory finds out It is Taichong's business to come to punish the crime, and Qian Gong will never be affected if he is sent to prison and beheaded."

"Too aggressive!" Qian Qianyi raised his voice with a serious expression on his face, "Is this old man a person who is greedy for life and fears death, who is afraid of swords and avoids swords? The day after tomorrow there will be a big imperial examination, and if you can't bear it, you will make trouble. Today you almost It's a big deal!" Qian Qianyi said, and took out an article by Zheng Damu.

Huang Zongxi suddenly realized, and hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize, and swept the floor with a bow, "Tai Chong was acting on a whim, and he was too reckless. Fortunately, Mr. Qian was able to deal with it, otherwise today's affairs would be unmanageable."
