Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 142 The New Society and the New Atmosphere
At this time, the disciples in the pavilion came out slowly one by one, imitating the appearance of the fourth son, bowed three times and erected plaques, and then wrote their names.

These candidates are all recruiters, with more status and prospects than the scholars outside the pavilion. They dare to write their names, which makes the outside scholars a little tempted, but they still can't make up their minds, so they discuss in twos and threes.

Huang Feng's mansion jumped out again at this time: "The fourth son is righteous, he is not talented, even though he is white, he is humble and dare not forget to worry about the country. I am willing to join the Erli Society and plead for the lives of the people in the world!"

Speaking of which, Huangfeng Mansion bowed three times to the plaque, pasted the name of Juren on the outside, and signed his own name.

The scholar finally started to be moved by someone.

Especially some Tongsheng who have no fame suddenly realized in their hearts, yes, I am just a Tongsheng, I am not even a scholar. If you want to make a career in the sky, if you want to make a career in the sky, you have to take a test of merit.

Although the Fourth Young Master is not as good as the old masters like Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, they are much better than ordinary scholars. It is impossible for these scholars to see the Fourth Young Master at ordinary times. Now that the Fourth Young Master forms an association, they dare not hurry up to make friends After a while, when will it be.

Even if Erlishe is not as good as Fushe or Donglin Party in the future, but they join early, and there will always be some benefits. It is better than being a small pawn in Fushe and Donglin. Everyone knows the reason why the head should not be a phoenix tail.

Finally, a scholar went up to worship three times after being impassioned, and signed his name.

There are more and more people, even crowded and competing.

Because the earlier the signature, the more central it can be. The fourth son wrote his name around the word "Erli", and the people wrote his name around the fourth son's name, and wrote it early. Occupy a better position, but there are 500 people here, I am afraid I can only write to the back if it is too late.

Seeing this situation, the Fourth Young Master stood aside and couldn't help laughing.

Mao Xiang also changed his original intention, and no longer felt that Huangfeng Mansion was so annoying, but felt that he was a person who could do things.

Moreover, he has a good brain, has ideas and can do things, and can help the four young masters do many inconvenient things.

As for whether the Huangfeng Mansion would threaten the status of their fourth son, Mao Xiang never thought about it at all, because this question is too boring, because it is impossible to happen at all.

The reason why they are the fourth sons is because of their extraordinary talents, but not only because of their talents. The man is the fourth son of Jinling.

The first is because they are romantic, they have a great reputation in the Qinhuai River, and they are envied by others; the second is that they come from a good family, which one is not a local prominent family or a family of officials; but more importantly, the third is that they understand Seize the moment to become famous.

In terms of hard study, they are not as good as Gu Jiang (later renamed Gu Yanwu); in terms of family background, Huang Zongxi, the son of Donglin celebrity Huang Zunsu, is not inferior to them; in terms of poetry, lyrics, and composition, Wu Weiye is far better than their four sons.

But when it comes to fame, who in Nanjing can compare with their four sons, let alone Nanjing now, who in the whole of Jiangnan can compare with them.

It is because they have vicious eyes and are extremely keen on the matter of becoming famous, and they will never miss any opportunity.

And Huang Feng's mansion is just a poor family boy, it's no problem to be their dog's leg and help them with things, and it's just a dream to want to steal the limelight from them.

After the scramble, it gradually calmed down. All the scholars who should sign have signed, and those who did not sign quietly hid in the crowd.

The Fourth Young Master took a look, there were about 300 people, and they were still very satisfied. These 300 people signed their names and shared weal and woe with their Fourth Young Master. In the future, they would be a huge force in their hands.

For the imperial examination, the four princes are determined to win the imperial examination. No one regards it as a very difficult thing to become an official in the imperial examination. Not only they think so, but everyone in the world thinks so.

"Plaque please!"

When no one signed anymore, Huang Fengfu shouted from the side.

The fourth young master raised the plaque nearby, and other scholars made their moves one after another, feeling honored to be able to touch a corner.

This plaque was to be used as a sacrifice to Confucius, and it was a special product. It carried not only the names of these scholars, but their determination to Confucius.

The scholars carried the plaques and crossed the Huaiqing Bridge in a noisy manner. Because of the congestion, several scholars squeezed down the river.

After crossing the river, it was not far from the Confucius Temple. Under the watchful eyes of the common people, they broke into the Confucius Temple, and no one dared to stop them.

There are already people waiting with offerings such as chicken and duck strips. It seems that they have made preparations long ago, and they have made thorough preparations.

The fourth son took the lead in crying in front of the wooden statue of Kong Sheng, once again expressing his indignation against Jin Yiwei's oppression of goodness, explaining the reason why they established the society, and made an oath to Kong Sheng.

After a lot of tossing, the whole day passed, and the [-] scholars who participated in the Erli Society all stayed in the Confucian Temple all night without sleep.

It is said to express their minds, but at this moment these people are very excited. After this special mysterious ceremony, they feel that their society seems to be really that way, and there is really something sublime in their hearts, and they are moved by themselves up.

Erlishe, establishes a heart for heaven and earth, and establishes a life for the people.

These two sentences come from Zhang Zai, the great master of the Song dynasty. highest ambition.

It’s just that in the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan and others did do things for others with this ambition. Now, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there are no people who really do this, and I am afraid that there are no people who think so.

But it doesn't prevent these four words from winning the hearts of the people, especially those young scholars who don't hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages, and have not been corrupted by the officialdom. In the officialdom, everything is forgotten, only know about fighting for fame and fortune.

But at this time, it does not prevent them from being excited, and does not prevent them from moving themselves.

They soon felt that the name Erlishe was full of momentum and lofty aspirations. Compared with their "Erli", Fushe's Xinggu school had no momentum. "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything in mind" is also a little flat compared to their "two stand".

……

"It's such a good name. With this name alone, the Erli Society is enough to become famous."

Yang Chao couldn't help admiring.

"Did you give it to me?"

Gu Mei asked.

Li Xiangjun watched carefully.

Seeing Yang Chao shaking his head, Li Xiangjun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Gu Mei looked suspicious.

Yang Chao was not being polite, because the name was really not his idea, but the fourth son's discussion.

It has to be said that the fourth master's level is very high in terms of fame, even higher than their literary talents.

These people have a natural sense of celebrity and are very keen on things like fame.

"The two girls are too high for my subordinates. I can't be the master of the fourth son's affairs."

Yang Chao often comes to Meixiang Tower to sit and chat with some girls.

Today, it suddenly came out that the four young masters formed an association. The two girls guessed Yang Chao immediately. Although Yang Chao refused to admit it, they insisted on their guess.

During this period of time, Yang Chao had been asking them to help support the Fourth Young Master. This time the Fourth Young Master made such a big commotion, and the momentum was even stronger than before. Both of them guessed that it was Yang Chao who gave them advice, because no matter how they looked at it, they could see a Kind of like Yang Chao's meeting at the beginning, and the taste of opening the Jinchai Building.

This kind of flamboyant way is not the way of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. They have only seen it frequently in Yang Chao before.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were introverted, and even in gatherings, they generally appeared low-key and elegant. Even when Zhang Pu formed a society back then, it was in the name of meeting friends through literature and revived ancient learning.

But this time, the four sons directly raised the banner of "creating a heart for the world, and a life for the people". This alone is countless times more publicized than Zhang Pu, and it is also more attractive and shocking.

That's why the two people suspected Yang Chao.

It's just that Yang Chao insisted that he didn't know the Fourth Young Master at all.

"Young Master Yang, why not tell me, what will the Fourth Young Master do next?"

Gu Mei asked.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The new society has a new atmosphere. Naturally, several fires are going to be set on fire. They have shouted out for the survival of the people. If you don't ask Jin Yiwei for important people, and don't make demands for the government, then it's nothing to live for!"

Li Xiangjun also agrees with Gu Mei's statement, because they have indeed heard that the fourth master brought people to make trouble again today.

As for why the Fourth Young Master made trouble, they haven't received any news yet. As long as Yang Chao's statement is confirmed, it is undoubtedly Yang Chao who made the whole thing up.

As a result, news soon came that the Fourth Young Master had brought someone to ask Jin Yiwei to hand over Tian Wan.

Sure enough, they want people.

After another meeting, another news came, saying that the fourth son had publicly written a statement to the court, and entrusted the six departments to forward it to the emperor, admonishing the emperor to: promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, punish corrupt officials, tax relief and disaster relief, suppress thieves and bring peace to the people.

Gu Mei snorted, "He also said that you were not your idea."

Gu Mei fully confirmed that this was Yang Chao's idea, because it did exactly what Yang Chao said.

Yang Chao continued to deny: "I'm completely guessing. If I were, I would probably do the same thing. Talking empty words, not losing a piece of meat, and gaining a clear name for nothing, why not do it."

Li Xiangjun asked suspiciously: "Young Master Yang said that Fourth Young Master is talking empty words?"

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Isn't it empty? Pros and cons, what are pros and cons? Punish corrupt officials, officials must be corrupt, how to punish? Tax-free disaster relief, if the court has money, it will not stir up civil uprisings. Where does the money come from?"

Li Xiangjun knew that what Yang Chao said was reasonable, but these were indeed the current bad policies, and of course they had to be changed.

"If not, how?"

Li Xiangjun couldn't figure out what else the imperial court could do besides prospering and eliminating disadvantages, punishing corrupt officials, exempting taxes for disaster relief, suppressing thieves and reassuring the people.

Yes, what should I do.
