I studied in modern times

Chapter 192 Cheng Hao's Last Words
The reward from Hedong did not stir up any disturbance in Bianjing City.

Even the ministers of the old party should not have seen it.

For most people, as long as Lu Huiqing does not return to Beijing, it will be fine!

He likes being in Hedong, so let him be in Hedong.

After this battle, what else can Lu Huiqing do?
The heroic commander of the left wing of the West Thieves, after this battle, will not be able to recover in a few years.

And the two palaces don't like to make troubles.

From then on, there will be no war in Hedong!
No matter how vigorous Lu Huiqing's energy is, he can only focus on civil affairs.

Some people are even thinking that after Lu Huiqing's appointment as a strategic envoy is over, they will find a way to operate him to places like Jiangning and Yangzhou.

In the afternoon, a message was sent to the palace.

The court invited the doctor, and Sun Tan, who was in charge of Tianzhang Pavilion, died at home.

The two palaces issued an edict to provide compensation, and ordered Si Enyin to be there.

The next day was Haitian, Zhao Xu's Jingjie moving to Tibet ceremony was held in Ouchi!

Yan Da, the commander of the Sidu in front of the palace, personally led the commanders of Yulong Zhuzhi as the guard of honor, escorted Zhao Xu's past festivals from Qingning Palace, and moved them to Tianzhang Pavilion.

These festivals include Zhao Xu's past titles such as Zhangwu Army Jiedu Envoy, Taiping Army Jiedu Envoy, Yanzhou Observation Envoy, Yanzhou Governor, etc., as well as his Yan'an County King's seal, joint card, and guard of honor.

After Zhao Xu ascended the throne, these things and titles have become his personal belongings since then, and will never be awarded to his courtiers.

Surrounded by the two palaces, Zhao Xu watched the ceremony of moving to Tibet in Tianzhang Pavilion.

Along with each other, the festivals painted with dragon and tiger patterns were sent to Tianzhang Pavilion.

And was invited by Yulong Zhuzhi Gong to put it in a small attic in Tianzhang Pavilion.

From then on, it will be hidden forever and will never be activated.

In other words, it is out of print.

Zhao Xu watched with mixed feelings.

Because he knew that this meant that the procedure was approaching the stage of offering sacrifices to heaven in the southern suburbs.

One month later, his father, the emperor, will change from the Daxing emperor to the so-and-so emperor.

From then on, even Zhao Xu had to be called by his posthumous title in public.

The father and son will separate the real heaven and man forever!

However, from another perspective, this also represents the stability of Zhao Xu's monarchy.

After the Daxing Emperor became a certain emperor, the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty had only one master—that is him.

……

Ding Chou ([-]th) in June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

Luoyang Yigao Academy.

Cheng Hao was lying on the hospital bed, his eye sockets were sunken, and his face lost half of the color.

He's exhausted!

But he still looked in the direction of Bianjing, full of reluctance and regret in his heart.

"Your Majesty... the old minister is so blessed that he will never be able to enter Beijing to see and serve him!"

The family members and students who served him around him shed tears.

Everyone knows that this minister of literature in the Song Dynasty is about to die.

"Bring "Recognition of Benevolence"..."

Cheng Hao said to his students.

Therefore, Cheng Hao devoted his whole life to writing the book "Knowing Benevolence", which was sent to him.

With trembling hands, Cheng Hao stroked the cover of the book, and then looked at his younger brother.

"Uncle Zheng..." He said weakly: "This old man is going to die... In the future, we can only count on Uncle Zheng to carry forward my knowledge of Yigao..."

"Bring it...to Bianjing, present the emperor!" Cheng Hao pushed his book in front of Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi cried and nodded: "Brother's wish, I must obey it!"

"And..." Cheng Hao struggled and said, "I've been thinking about what book the emperor should read these days..."

"The Son of Heaven is Congjun, rare since ancient times..."

"Mr. Du Tang, it is impossible to prevent the emperor from contacting Wang Jiefu's three classics and new meanings...it is wishful thinking!"

"It's better to block than to block!"

"It's better for the emperor to read it himself in the future, and thus become suspicious of the minister... thinking that the minister is unfaithful..."

"How about, the ministers first fill in the gaps with the gentleman's book..."

"Bo Chun... When you arrive in the capital, when the emperor gets older, or when you meet the emperor, you will know that the emperor is really smart and handsome..."

"You present Mr. Xu Jiang's article to the imperial court..."

"Brother..." Cheng Yi became excited.

Li Gou, Mr. Xujiang, is the source of Wang Anshi's new law theory and thought.

It is known as "Wang Jiefu who is not in time", and is also known as "Wang Anshi who is in the field".

To put it bluntly, without Mr. Xu Jiang's decades of lectures, the group of talents who are good at financial management and business management, and the foundation of public opinion laid down, Wang Anshi would encounter resistance if he wanted to reform. Dozens of times over the years, even the Emperor Daxing may not support it.

"It's better than the Son of Heaven finding out the new meanings of the Three Classics himself and understanding it himself!" Cheng Hao said.

"Furthermore... the evils of today's world... how can you and I ignore them?"

Cheng Yi was silent.

Although Er Cheng is an old party theorist, they are scholars, better than bureaucrats.

Therefore, they cannot ignore the existing disadvantages in the world.

Their biggest opinion on Wang Anshi is that they are eager for quick success and quick profit, that they are Becker, and that they are amassing money.

In the beginning, in fact, they did not object.It wasn't until later that the new law was implemented at a rapid pace, especially after the promulgation of the Young Crops Law and the Market Change Law, they began to strongly oppose it!
Cheng Yi knew and understood.

Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses... and the threat of Western thieves and northern captives entering at any time...

If these problems are not resolved, Da Song will always sit in the crater.

Hearing what his brother said, Cheng Yi also thought about it.

Then he understood.

When the Son of Heaven faces these problems in the future, he will definitely think of a solution!

If the minister does not give the emperor a solution, the emperor will go to Wang Anshi!

"Emperor Ruoguo Congjun..."

"No matter how much the ministers hide it, they can't hide it!" Cheng Hao said, looking at Cheng Yi seriously: "Furthermore, how can a minister conceal the truth from the emperor?"

"This is not something that a Confucian official can do!"

Last month, the young master bestowed imperial medicine, and wrote a personal letter of encouragement.

Let Cheng Hao try his best to think and imagine during this sick day...

How to repay, how to teach, how to get him on the right path.

After all, he was an eight-year-old young master who had already read the Book of Songs, used it skillfully, and respected filial piety and teacher ethics.

Various other legends also prove that he is not as smart as a child!
Such a monarch cannot and should not be deceived by ministers.

Anyone who tries to do that will only end up asking for trouble, and even lead things to the place they least want to see - a completely opposite direction!

Cheng Hao has lectured for so many years and taught so many students.

He knows too well what students, especially smart students, will do once they rebel!
And Mr. Xujiang is the prescription prescribed by Cheng Hao.

A theory that is not so radical, but can compete with Wang Anshi's new meaning of the Three Classics for nutrition.

If the emperor read Mr. Xujiang's article first.

After observing, the ministers found that the emperor was not impatient, nor was he eager for success, so he should present the new meaning and words of the Three Classics to the imperial court.

The right place should be praised.

After all, Wang Jiefu's knowledge is the prominent one today, and it is also the favorite theory of Emperor Daxing.

The Son of Heaven also regards himself as a filial son.

Blindly slander, slander, and attack Wang Anshi, and even distort Wang Anshi's articles and theories regardless of the facts.

How could such a smart emperor be fooled by the ministers in a few words?
Who do you look down on! ?

Although Cheng Hao was in Yigao Academy, hundreds of miles away from Bianjing, he had also heard about the deeds of those emperors.

So, be realistic!
What Wang Anshi is right should be praised, and he should be praised generously!

Where Wang Anshi was wrong, he should also point out and explain why he was wrong.

This is the only way to avoid repeating the same mistakes!

Only in this way can we avoid the tragedy of "the future generations mourn but don't give up".

It's just that it's not convenient for Cheng Hao to say these words, and he doesn't have the energy to say any more.

His body can't hold it anymore!
I can only hope that Cheng Yi can understand it by himself!
Cheng Yi listened and lowered his head: "I will obey my elder brother's order!"

"Good!" Cheng Hao slowly closed his eyes, and said softly, "Righteousness, propriety, knowledge and faith are all benevolent!"

"Only with sincerity and respect can we preserve benevolence!"

As he spoke, his closed eyes seemed to see the bright sunshine.

That is the sunshine of Bianjing city!

He also seemed to be back when he was young, and the person sitting opposite him was smiling at him: "Bo Chun... how about coming to talk to me about the "Book of Changes" again?"

Cheng Hao laughed: "It's Zi Hou..."

"Zi Hou came to pick me up..."

He looked at the person opposite, dressed in a Confucian robe, elegant and simple, a modest and gentleman, as if cutting like a knife.

With a book in his hand, he smiled warmly.

It's Zhang Zai!
Behind Zhang Zai, people in Confucian robes were all smiling at him.

Some people he knew, even friends.

Weng Shaoyaofu from Yichuan, Mr. Anding Hu Yizhi, Mr. Lianxi Zhou Maoshi...

There are also many unknown figures.

Cheng Hao looked at those figures, murmured and smiled, "Old man, you are also an ordinary man!"

"Before he died, he had such unrealistic fantasies!"

Following his murmur, those figures disappeared.

The world is indeed as Confucian scholars imagined.

All things in the world, there is only propriety, benevolence and righteousness.

Apart from this, ghosts and gods do not exist, and gods and Buddhas do not exist.

Therefore, there is neither hell nor fairy world.

People die like a lamp goes out, only reason and scriptures can last forever!
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao let out his last breath in relief.

Chengyilang and Zongzhengsi Minister and attendant lectured on Cheng Hao's death.

At the end of his life, he left a watch, and his younger brother Cheng Yi took over his post of minister.

　Note: Historically, before Cheng Hao entered Beijing, he had conceived an economic idea, but the history books did not clearly state it.Just saying 'Hao Shen is interested in economics', blindly guessing that he should have thought of a solution.

　　When Cheng Yi was by Zhezong's side, he advocated teaching students according to their aptitude and flexible teaching, and he often observed Zhezong's performance, and wrote many times requesting that more Zhezong's peers should accompany him to study and study.

　　From these aspects, Cheng Yi is a qualified educator - of course, he also has his limitations, a Confucian's old-fashioned, stubborn and too insisting on Confucian classics and morals.

　　So he is also the one who supports Zhezong without gold, silver, jade and luxury things.
