Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 331 Wishing everyone to be like a dragon【additional 4000】

After Emperor Jingshun ascended the throne, Zhang Songyue entered the cabinet as the emperor's tutor.

Jingshun became the chief assistant of the cabinet in three years.

For more than ten years, they have worked together as masters and apprentices.

Zhang Songyue devoted himself to eliminating the old party and stabilizing the imperial power.

But in fact, until the past two years, the Supreme Emperor was ill.

It was only then that their master and apprentice truly came out of the shadow of the Supreme Emperor.

Finally, the old party forces were uprooted and completely cleared from the court.

And before that, with getting older.

Zhang Songyue has actually felt powerless many times.

It was also when the party struggle was the most intense that he had the idea of ​​cultivating successors.

I hope that when I can't hold on, someone can take over.

Maintain the achievements of your own struggle for many years.

At first, he took a fancy to Feng Yibo.

When he was less than 20 years old, he became a Jinshi.

Looking at history is also an outstanding figure.

What's more, Zhang Songyue and Emperor Jing Shun felt that his test papers were amazing and brilliant, which benefited him a lot.

However, he was young and vigorous, and he actually contradicted the old lady of Jia's mansion before the test.

Originally, this kind of inner house matter was not a big deal, and Zhang Songyue could help him solve it easily.

But the Supreme Emperor, who had been depressed for a long time in the palace, suddenly intervened, taking the opportunity to jump out and create a sense of presence.

It stands to reason that Feng Yibo was targeted by the Supreme Emperor, and changed from the number one scholar to the third prize,
It is a good opportunity to make a move to subdue him.

But Zhang Songyue, who was busy suppressing the old party at that time, didn't want to provoke the Great Buddha, the Supreme Emperor, because of this matter.

It's easy to ask God to send God away, but in case you provoke the Supreme Emperor to intervene in the court struggle.

For Zhang Songyue and Emperor Jingshun, the gain outweighed the loss.

In addition, in order to win over the Jiangnan scholars.

Li Shouzhong's entry into Beijing was already a certainty.

But the relationship between Feng Yibo and Li Shouzhong is extremely close.

As a teacher, how can he win over other people's heirs?
To put it bluntly, do you recognize a godson, can you compare with other people's father and son?
Disciples in the mantle and bowl are no worse than their own sons.

Otherwise, Li Shouzhong would not let Feng Yibo retire with peace of mind.

In the end, for the sake of the overall situation of the court.

Zhang Songyue ignored this matter.

He only casually comforted Feng Yibo during the Enrong Banquet.

And Liu Zheng, who came to the top, became his successor.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng is indeed a man to be made.

Not to mention his literary talents, he can speak clearly in everything he says and does.

The only "disadvantage" is that it is too square.

But Zhang Songyue felt that he had seen many such people.

All of them have been studying for half their lives and have just won Jinshi.

There are those who are pretentious, and there are also many who do not forget their original aspirations.

Modesty and gentlemen like Liu Zheng are actually quite a few among the Shinke Scholars.

But no matter which one it is, it will eventually be smoothed out.

In the big dye vat of officialdom, it is soaked and corroded by various colors.

In the end, it rotted into a pile of smelly mud.

And what Zhang Songyue has to do is to smooth its edges and corners and at the same time prevent him from being eroded too much.

But I didn't expect it, I don't know if it was because he was under his wings and protected too well.

Over the past two years, Liu Zheng has not only not been eroded, but also not worn away.

Always keep your original intention and keep yourself clean.

The only "stain" was the one when he interceded for Feng Yibo.

Zhang Songyue thought that was just the beginning.

I never thought, other than that, he was still the same as before.

Everything is done in business, with one heart and one mind for the country and the people.

This made Zhang Songyue really love and hate this meticulously trained disciple.

Everyone loves a gentleman, but it's really tricky not to get in.

Now, Feng Yibo said that he would unite with his successors to deal with him.

Even listening to overthrow the new party?

Even if Zhang Songyue knew that Feng Yibo was very likely to say this on purpose only because he was still angry about using Liu Zheng.

But it still made him feel like an enemy.

Because he knew that Liu Zheng's "edges" hadn't been polished off yet.

It is really possible to be fascinated by Feng Yibo's "sweet words", thinking that what he is doing is beneficial to the country.

For example, today he agreed to trick Feng Yibo over for "justice".

"I advise you not to think about it."

Zhang Songyue sneered and warned.

Then he waved his hands, turned the topic back, and said:
"Let's talk about the compensation."

The purpose of today is to talk about how to re-divide compensation benefits.

Earlier, he wanted to appease Feng Yibo's emotions before talking.

But now that the situation has changed, he can't let the other party divert the topic.

Especially in front of Liu Zheng, he had to keep his majesty as a teacher.

Therefore, I don't want to continue to entangle in this matter.

"Isn't it the teacher's first idea?"

Feng Yibo woke up casually.

Zhang Songyue asked Liu Zheng to lie to him, but he kept holding his breath.

Now it is an eye for an eye, using Liu Zheng to win the round.

Seeing that Zhang Songyue was obviously anxious, he finally felt more at ease.

"The content of the terms of the peace negotiation is the best result after my repeated mediation. In order to facilitate this matter, I have tried my best."

Although he felt a little more at ease, Feng Yibo still put on an appearance of being powerless when it comes to the terms and conditions.

And Zhang Songyue was a little annoyed at first, but now seeing his reticent appearance, he couldn't help being aroused.

There was no smile left on his face, and he said coldly:

"Do you really think I can't take back the benefits from Liaodong?"

After all, Liaodong is the frontier of Wei after all.

As long as the means are tougher, it is not impossible to suppress it.

"Oh! But teacher, you can't take it back to Donghai County!"

Hearing that the other party's words were full of threats, Feng Yibo showed disdain, and said with a smile:
"If the ones from Liaodong are taken first, and the ones from Donghai County cannot be taken back in the end, will there be repetitions in Liaodong? Isn't that why the teacher came to me?"

You have the final say in Liaodong, and I have the final say in Donghai County.

A lot of things are not over if you force them.

As long as Donghai County disagrees, Liaodong will naturally not be able to calm down.

After all, Zhang Songyue is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the city government is unfathomable.

He was very angry just now, but after a few words, he calmed down the anger in his heart.

But although his anger has calmed down, he still has no expression on his face, and said in a cold voice:

"This restraint is the reason why you unite the two parties?"

Since Feng Yibo couldn't be appeased, Zhang Songyue took advantage of the situation and used the power he had accumulated in the court to create some pressure on Feng Yibo.

It's a pity that his self-prestige without anger doesn't have much effect here.

I saw Feng Yibo shook his head when he heard the words, not being affected by his power at all, he said with a playful smile:
"Of course more than that. I just want to let people know that pioneering has dividends."

When Zhang Songyue heard him bring up this matter again, his eyes flashed brightly.

He quickly squinted his eyes to avoid being seen by the other party.

Afterwards, he patted the table lightly and continued to overwhelm people with force.

"You know, this is a way to harm the country and the people!"

Feng Yibo also sat up straight, and responded domineeringly:
"I want everyone in Great Wei to be like a dragon. In the future, all the sun and moon will shine will be the land of Great Wei!"

These words made people's blood boil, but Zhang Songyue felt a bit of coldness.

In his mind, if everyone in Great Wei forges ahead, they will all be driven by interests to explore overseas.

What about the imperial court's herdsmen?

Don't say that everything is the country, it's not bad if you don't stand on your own!
But before he could make another sound, someone beat him first and applauded.

"What a man is like a dragon! What a sun and moon shines on the country!"

Liu Zheng, who was always feeling guilty beside him, suddenly expressed his support.

This made the somewhat dignified atmosphere between the two of them broken.

Speaking of Liu Zheng, he has been trapped in inner torture since he promised to help.

Before, Zhang Song wanted to talk to Feng Yibo in private, but he didn't want to make a big fuss.

Let someone send the post first.

But the reply he got was that the Feng residence closed the door to thank the guests, and Feng Yibo recuperated at home.

Of course he would not believe such an excuse, but he also understood the reason why the other party deliberately avoided it.

Judging from the current court situation, all parties have barely reached a delicate balance.

The longer it can be delayed, the more passive the Great Wei court will be.

If the first indemnity arrives before, there is no result yet.

That is equivalent to acquiescing to the content of the terms.

At that time, it would be difficult to think about any repetitions.

Zhang Songyue naturally couldn't drag on any longer.

After thinking about it, he thought of Liu Zheng.

His disciple has been full of the heart of serving the country all these years.

But he is upright and doesn't want to rely on his relationship to overwhelm others.

For Feng Yibo, a friend who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements for the country and the people.

He admired it from the bottom of his heart.

But because of this, he held back his energy and wanted to say goodbye to him.

Prove that he is no worse than Feng Yibo.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng soon found out.

If you rely on yourself alone, you can't do anything.

This time Feng Yibo was victorious and returned to court, while being happy for him.

I also feel more depressed about my situation.

Therefore, Zhang Songyue approached him and asked him to do something for the country.

Liu Zheng agreed without even thinking about it.

But after agreeing, he found out that the teacher asked him to meet Feng Yibo.

In fact, Liu Zheng also knew that this must be a matter of negotiating peace terms.

But in his heart, if he can take back the huge benefits, it will indeed be of great benefit to Wei.

Even if he, like Feng Yibo, doesn't want to take advantage of their friendship.

But in front of Dayi, Liu Zheng promised to be ahead.

The final choice can be imagined.

After tricking Feng Yibo over, he felt ashamed to face this friend.

Can't wait to find a hole to dig in.

However, Feng Yibo suggested to let him sit in on it.

Just when he was full of guilt, he heard Feng Yibo's proposition.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but make a sound.

What Feng Yibo said was exactly what he yearned for.

The "dragon" that everyone is like a dragon comes from "Book of Changes".

"Book of Changes" says: A gentleman is like a dragon.

This dragon is referring to the gentleman!
"Yibo, many people say that I picked up a cheap champion from you, but I have always been quite conceited and never took these words seriously."

Liu Zheng first expressed his support, and then talked about the past with a guilty face.
He couldn't express his full apology, so he would start again.

But the current situation does not allow him to say more.

Finally, his thousands of words turned into a sigh, saying:
"Listening to what you said today, I know the gap between myself and you."

These words mean that he admits defeat.

Facing his close friend Feng Yibo, he always wanted to prove himself.

But now, whether it's righteousness or small details.

He lost completely!
He has great righteousness in his heart, but he has not done anything that is really beneficial to the country.

Also for this time's "great righteousness", he lost his only "subsection".

At this moment, Liu Zheng only felt that he had no face to be friends with Feng Yibo anymore.

And Feng Yibo smiled at him, then shook his head again.

It was obviously signaling him not to mind these things.

On the other side, watching the disciples who were radiant when they supported him, now look dejected.

Zhang Songyue felt irritated in his heart.

It feels like the good cabbage I raised was kicked by a pig.

He pursed his lips, as if he was really angry.

"You want a ram?"

"Yes and no."

Feng Yibo smiled noncommittally, and said:

"It doesn't matter whether it's Cheng Zhu or Gongyang, it doesn't make any difference to me, it's just an interpretation of the sage's words."

"Cheng Zhu" naturally refers to the Neo Confucianism represented by Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi.

The Gongyang School is a branch of Confucianism, and its representative is Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty.

One of the core ideas is "respect the king and fight against the barbarians".

What Feng Yibo did, and what he just said.

They are all filled with the word "rejecting barbarians".

Many people think that the Confucianism respected in the Han Dynasty is the same as the later Confucianism.

In fact, the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, not Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

It is the most iron-blooded Ram School.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which only appeared in the Song Dynasty, belongs to grandchildren in front of it.

But times have changed, and the Gongyang School has gradually declined.

The current official exams of the Great Wei are all classics annotated by Zhu Zi.

Such as: "Four Books Chapters and Sentences Collection".

It can be seen that Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism's status in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Hearing that Feng Yibo dared to comment on Cheng Zhu at this time, Zhang Songyue was really angry.

"Bullshit!"

He slapped the table, angrily reprimanded, and said:

"Don't respect Cheng Zhu, disdain the words of the sage, are you trying to deviate from the scriptures?"

Once such a hat is put on, it will never turn over.

"Teacher, calm down. In fact, I am not deviant, but I respect Confucianism and Taoism."

Feng Yibo heard the words, but couldn't help laughing, and said:
"It's just that Confucius had three thousand disciples, seventy-two sages, and countless classics. They are all small words, and any sentence can cover everything. It should not be summed up in one sentence, but should be considered in all aspects."

When Zhang Songyue heard it, the other party didn't disobey Confucianism, but wanted to accept the words of Confucianism?

There is so much involved!
Only orthodox Confucianism has eight schools!

wrong!

He reacted, frowned and said:
"Eight schools of Confucianism, there is no ram!"

After Confucius' death, many disciples were divided into eight sects.

Many of them have been lost.

The ones that are still circulating are also the most widely circulated. There are two main ones.

One is the "benevolence-based" Confucianism of the Meng family, and the representative figure is Mencius, the sub-sage.

To a large extent, Confucianism after the Song Dynasty is mostly his descendants.

The other is the Confucianism of the Sun family who "governed both rituals and laws", and Xunzi was the representative.

His thoughts were most popular during the Qin Dynasty.

Both Han Fei and Li Si are his descendants, but they are not Confucianists.

Compared with the orthodox eight schools of Confucianism, the Gongyang School is only a small branch.

Not any of the eight factions.

but……

"The prosperity of Confucianism began with Dong Zi."
