The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 199 Tian Zuiyan's Travel Notes

"Considering the age difference between Tian Jing and Tian Jing, I finally sworn brothers with Tian Zuiyan." Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, "By the way, Your Majesty, this sworn brother of this minister also came to the capital with me this time, saying that he would represent his father. Plead guilty to the emperor face to face."

"Really? Where is Tian Zuiyan now?"

"Your Majesty, wait outside the palace."

"Xiaoqi, send him to see me."

I am also quite interested in Tian Zuiyan, a candidate actually gave up the imperial examination after winning the imperial examination, and would rather spend five years studying around the world, this is not something ordinary scholars can do.

After Xiaoqi left, Wen Tianxiang continued: "After I returned to the Jishou county government office, I immediately interrogated Wang Kang, the magistrate of the county. According to Wang Kang's account, he was instructed by the Jinghu Road officials to handle the case of Zhenxi Village. 500 taels of silver It was also collected for the official. So, the minister called the yamen servant to send the official to come to confront him. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find it anywhere, and the official had already disappeared. According to a yamen servant, the official said that he would go to the city to see it after noon. Looking at the people's customs and customs, I haven't seen him come back since then. I felt that something was a little strange, so I sent people to search around, and at the same time sent people to Jinghu Luzhi Office to inquire about this person's situation."

"This official should have something to do with the masked man, otherwise he wouldn't be in charge of such a big deal in Zhenxi Village. Song Rui, ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to issue an arrest warrant for this person."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Song Rui, what happened next?"

"Your Majesty, later on, I asked Li Lin, the magistrate of Jishou County, to act as the magistrate temporarily, and ordered the magistrate of Chenzhou Prefecture to investigate Wang Kang in detail. Under the premise of the well, can the stream water near Aizhai be brought into the village?"

"It's so good. Only by completely solving the water source problem in Zhenxi Village can the villagers live in peace."

"I also thought so at the time. Three days later, Wen Zhang's injury gradually recovered, and I left Xiangxi and returned to Lin'an."

When Wen Tianxiang finished speaking, Xiaoqi led Tian Zuiyan into the imperial study.

"Caomin Tian Zuiyan kowtowed to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Plain body, no courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Tian Zuiyan, sit down."

"Ah?" Tian Zuiyan seemed a little nervous and didn't react for a while.

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said: "Drunk face, the emperor gave you a seat, and I still don't thank you."

Tian Zuiyan hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting the seat."

"En, Tian Zuiyan, I heard from Song Rui that you studied abroad for five years, how could you have such an idea?"

Tian Zuiyan hurriedly got up again and said: "Returning to the emperor, the grassroots have been familiar with the classics and history since childhood, and thought that the reason why the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were able to form a situation where a hundred schools of thought contended was closely related to the prevailing wind of study tours at that time. Study tours can be refined and learned. I heard. Caomin remembers that there is a Tao in "Historical Records. The Biography of Shen Jun", the rise of miscellaneous schools, and a great change in real learning. This can only be brought about by study tours, so study tours are actually of great benefit to academics."

"Tian Zuiyan, just sit down and answer." I stretched out my hand to signal her to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You are right. I also think that there are many benefits of studying abroad. The benefits of studying abroad are that young children are not as good as ordinary people, and officials are not as good as relatives. Those who have experienced ancient travels. Jin Wengong was abroad for 19 years. He traveled through the princes and returned to the country. King Wuling of Zhao traveled to Qin in a humble uniform, and returned to the country to become strong. In the past Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the most admirable traveler was Zeng Zi, Zuo Qiuming, and Wu Qi and Le Yangzi. "I borrowed Zhang Zhidong's "Encouraging Learning" in the Qing Dynasty.

After hearing this, Tian Zuiyan was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty is wise, what He said is in line with the way of studying abroad."

I smiled and said: "Lu You, a poet of this dynasty, once wrote that what is learned on paper is always superficial, and you must practice it. No matter how good the knowledge in books is, it is dead. Only through personal experience can you truly understand what is written in books. The truth, only those who learn and apply it can avoid working behind closed doors, and can achieve greatness without being biased."

"Your Majesty, it is a high opinion that the records in the books are right and wrong. Indeed, only through experience can one understand its authenticity."

"Well, any theory must be tested before it can be called truth, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Tian Zuiyan heard a lot about my deeds on the road, and she was even more impressed by my own words at this time, and respectfully said: "The words of the emperor are very true, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and it is also incisive."

"Song Rui, you also need to keep this in mind. In future behaviors, you can't simply treat theories as dogmas, and you can't regard books as classics. Look at the problem. This is the so-called needing books, not bookishness, accumulating experience, but not empiricism."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the subject is also taught."

I took a sip of tea, took out a map and spread it on the table and said, "Tian Zuiyan, here is a map of mine, take a look, where have you been? Song Rui, Lan Yu, Wen Zhang, you also have a look My new map."

Wen Tianxiang looked at the place names on the map, and asked, "Your Majesty is going to change the region into a provincial system?"

"Well, the Mongols are already changing it, and I think it's about time."

Wen Zhang sighed: "Your Majesty, the area marked on this map is much larger than that of my court today."

Tian Zuiyan didn't know what the provincial system was, and she didn't dare to ask. She pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, the places where the grassroots study tours are all in the south of the river, from the seaside of Fujian Road in the east to the Chengdu Fu Road in the west, and the farthest to the south. Pass Jiaozhi County (now Vietnam)."

"That's right, it covers almost all the areas where I'm heading to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Your Majesty, it is a pity that the grassroots did not dare to cross the river to the north due to the military chaos in the north in recent years."

"North? There will be a chance." I pointed to the north and said to Wenzhang, "Wenzhang, this is the territory of the Song Dynasty planned by me. Whether it can be realized depends on you soldiers."

Wen Zhang smiled and said firmly, "Your Majesty, wherever you point, I will hit you."

"it is good!"

I praised Wenzhang, and continued to ask Tian Zuiyan: "Tian Zuiyan, how do you feel when you study abroad?"

Seeing my kind attitude, Tian Zuiyan gradually let go, and after sitting down, he briefly told me his experience.Tian Zuiyan has a clear mind and distinguishes the severity from the seriousness. When she narrates, she is vivid and easy to understand.

"As expected of being from Juren." I secretly praised.

"Is there any more?" Wen Zhang wanted to continue listening after listening.

For me, Tian Zuiyan's experience is nothing more than that. People in future generations only need to browse the Internet for a while, and the whole world can have a panoramic view.It's different for Wenzhang. He is a curious age, and he spends most of his time practicing martial arts with Taoist masters. After arriving in the capital, he trains young guards every day. Apart from going out with me, how can he know that there are so many people in the world? I just listened with gusto.

Tian Zuiyan smiled and said: "Brother Wenzhang, I will talk to you in detail when I have time."

"Brother Zuiyan, then it's settled."

Wen Tianxiang said softly: "Wen Zhang, don't mess around."

"It's okay, Wenzhang is still a child after all." I laughed dumbly, "Tian Zuiyan, do you have any notes from your study tour?"

"Back to the emperor, wherever the grassroots go, they will write down the local customs, mountains and rivers." Tian Zuiyan didn't know why I asked this question.

"En, very good. Tian Zuiyan, you can write down your experience in detail, so that the world can understand the great rivers and mountains of my dynasty."

"Yes, Caomin complies with the order, Caomin also has this intention."

"This book should be called "Tian Zui Yan's Travel Notes". Then I will write the preface for you."

Tian Zuiyan said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the name."

Can the famous "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" be replaced by "Tian Zui Yan's Travel Notes"?Although Tian Zuiyan is not as professional as Xu Xiake, she is more than 300 years earlier.

"Okay, Tian Zuiyan, let's talk about your Miao family."
