Dao fruit.

"Pacifying the marsh people before Qiu Yan, gaining the heart of the southern border military town before Qiu Yan, and building contacts in the southern border officialdom before Qiu Yan, Tian Youqing's thoughts are not small. "

Back in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Lian recalled the plan Tian Youqing said in the previous secret meeting, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Next to him, his two sons, Zhang Xiping and Zhang Xifan, were listening. As soon as Zhang Lian returned to the mansion, he called them over, obviously because he had something to explain.

"Tian Youqing is so sure that he is able to do things one step ahead of Qiu Yan. He is clearly trying to make Qiu Yan stand aside, and to use his own ability to highlight Qiu Yan's incompetence, but..." Zhang Xifan, the third son, has been in these days , I had an inexplicable awe of Qiu Yan, "As far as I know, Qiu Yan is not a simple person, and one person is no more than the entire Chengzhi Department. Dozens of people in the Chengzhi Department work, he can do it in a short time." Can become!"

Zhang Xifan's son, Zhang Hai, was originally in the Chengzhi Division. The privy envoy Wang Jing wanted to form an alliance with Zhang Lian, and the condition he proposed was to help Zhang Hai. To stir up the situation, not to mention straightening Zhang Hai, it didn't take long for the entire Chengzhi Department to be controlled by Qiu Yan, and it was difficult for even Wang Jing to intervene.Encountering this kind of thing, Zhang Xifan was a little angry at first, but after knowing all kinds of things, this anger turned into fear. Now when he heard that someone planned to deal with Qiu Yan, his first reaction was that he didn't know what to do.

Next to him, Zhang Xiping also said: "Qiu Yan, this person is no small matter. He doesn't seem to play his cards according to the common sense of the officialdom, but his means of doing things are not bad at all. As soon as he entered the Chengzhi Division, he knocked the mountains and shook the tiger and took control of one side. It stands to reason that those prison students who went to work outside the city should offend people, but after Qiu Yan left the Imperial College for the last time, the prison students went crazy, searching everywhere for articles and classics on the way of knowing and doing. After discussing it, it became a common practice .”

"Forcing the inmates to work, there should be complaints. Why did you study Qiu Yan's theory in the end?" Zhang Xifan was surprised when he heard the news for the first time, and his heart was full of puzzlement.

But then, what Zhang Lian said made his surprise turn into shock.

Just listen to Zhang Lian said: "I know this as a father. I have also asked people to collect articles on the way of knowing and doing, and they are also studying the essence. If you have time, you might as well take a look and delve into it."

"This..." Zhang Xifan was completely dumbfounded. He just felt that the world was changing too fast and he couldn't keep up.Even Zhang Xiping showed surprise.

Zhang Lian's reaction when he saw his two sons was within his expectations.He laughed and said: "Although Qiu Yan and I disagree on the standpoint, he has to admit that he is an academic. He is a person who has achieved classics. It is rare in the past dynasties, not to mention his current perception. The day when the Confucian classics will be accomplished is not far away!"

"Confucian classics! Can Qiu Yan make Confucian classics?" This time, whether it was Zhang Xifan or Zhang Xiping.I was really taken aback.

Qiu Yan's success in military classics is already unexpected, and it is an achievement beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime. One person's life, having one humane classic by his side, is enough to leave his name in history, but Qiu Yan has accomplished two at a time, and it is also a military classic .

Although military strategists are currently being suppressed by Confucianism, they have been passed down in all dynasties. When the warlords in the middle and late periods of the previous dynasty were separated, it was the time when military strategists were at their peak. Even Confucianism had to rely on them. It even brings unimaginable gains to authors.

This point is clear to the princes of the court. Now it is mainly a national war and the timing is sensitive. Although the royal family publicizes the name of the classics, in order to prevent accidents, they have not turned the original contents of the classics into authentic copies or copies. Therefore, the folk circulation is limited. Did not make that harvest visible.

But on the other hand, it can also be seen from this that military classics are actually subject to many restrictions and constraints. In terms of pure influence, they are ultimately inferior to Confucian classics.

Once a Confucian classic is born, its authors will be crowned with the title of "living sage". In many cases, this title is far more powerful than imagined.

Therefore, the Zhang brothers were so surprised when they heard Zhang Lian say that Qiu Yan might be able to complete the Confucian classics. At the same time, they also realized that once it was accomplished, this would be Qiu Yan's third classic.

"One person writes three humane classics. Since the era of the various states, few people have been able to do it." Zhang Xiping couldn't help feeling emotional, and he felt a little respect for Qiu Yan.

Zhang Xifan clicked his tongue again and again: "Qiu Yan is really so powerful? Is it because of this, father, you let us also study his theory?"

Zhang Lian nodded, then shook his head and said: "This is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that Qiu Yan's theory is obviously a kind of way in the world, and he discovered a brand new world. It is said that it can This news is extremely secret, but all the forces that know about it keep it secret, fearing that others will know about it, and it took a lot of strength for my father to find out."

"A brand new world?" The two Zhang brothers asked in unison.

Zhang Lian replied: "My father has never personally experienced the specific situation, so it is difficult to describe, but someone told me that this change may affect the status of various Confucian academies, so it should not be underestimated, otherwise, Why did the courtier acquiesce to Qiu Yan's going to the southern border instead of trying to make him doomed?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhang Xiping heard the words thoughtfully, thinking to himself: "shake the status of Confucian academies? How can Confucian academies have been passed down for thousands of years, with scholars behind them, and students from all over the world? Shaking? What kind of mystery is hidden in Qiu Yan's theory?"

"Before, Prince Ding wanted to cut off Qiu Yan's way and didn't give him a chance. After all, as a father, he had scruples and didn't dare to do anything..."

On the other side, while Zhang Lian was talking, he changed the topic and brought the topic back, as if he didn't want to go too deep on the topic just now.

"This time, having Tian Youqing as a pawn in front will save you a lot of trouble. The reason why Tian Youqing has the confidence to overwhelm Qiu Yan is not because of ability, but because of Qiu Yan's behavior style of ignoring official rules. Sooner or later, it will be easier to offend the official circles in the south."

"Then what does father mean?" Zhang Xiping heard some signs and understood Zhang Lian's thoughts.

Zhang Lian lowered his voice and said: "As long as Qiu Yan is not an official, he must make friends with him. The most urgent thing is to force him to quit the officialdom, study with peace of mind, and let him write books wholeheartedly!"

"Forcing him to write a book?" Zhang Xifan was very surprised by this purpose. "In this way, Qiu Yan is expected by everyone. Even those who are hostile to him hope that he can continue to write books. Such a person, with He, Tian Youqing, can deal with it? Besides, Tian Youqing entered the palace to force the palace, hated the emperor, lost his holy family, and had a bleak future. What else does he want to do at this time? The matter of persecution is kept in the emperor's heart, isn't it? Will you still forget it? How about letting go as soon as possible, is it delusional to win back the holy family?"

"Of course the emperor will not forget such things, but..." Zhang Lian nodded, "You have to protect your father, so you can give up lightly. After all, I have a lot of background, let go, but take a step back, damage the power, and will not hurt after all." Fundamentally, but for Tian Youqing, official career is his lifelong hope, once he lets go, he will have no goal in his life and can only waste time, he knows many things in his heart, but he must be confused in the end before he can let go."

"I see. In this way, Tian Youqing is also considered a character." Zhang Xiping nodded, "In fact, he is not without chance. In Darui, the emperor can't cover the sky with one hand. If Tian Youqing can show enough ability, With the support of the aristocratic family, there will still be opportunities.”…

When he said this, Zhang Xifan also understood, and said: "Yes, if this Tian Youqing is really capable of meritorious service, after he comes back, the emperor can't depose him or suppress him, otherwise people will see that he suppressed meritorious officials. It is inevitable that I will be disappointed, Tian Youqing intends to take advantage of the situation."

"More than that," Zhang Lian said at this time, "the emperor's mentality cannot be judged by ordinary people's thoughts. As long as Tian Youqing succeeds, even if the emperor hates him, he will still use him, and even continue to trust him, at least on the surface. He will do enough work, after all, Tian Youqing is still in the name of the New Party, and our emperor has never done less to stir up different opinions. For him, a minister who has made mistakes is sometimes better than a loyal minister. , is more useful."

Zhang Xifan was puzzled again: "Could it be that if Tian Youqing can do things, other people can't do things? If you can't leave him, the emperor will have no one to use, right? A lot of words"

Hearing this, Zhang Lian took a deep look at Zhang Xi, and saw that the latter had a creepy feeling.

After that, I heard Zhang Lian say: "You can see more people, and you know that you can do the same thing with another person, but what the emperor sees and hears is all created by my courtiers and aristocratic family, so the opinions will be different."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Xifan didn't feel much at first, but after thinking about it, he was shocked, as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to toe, and his whole body was completely cold!

However, Zhang Lian didn't intend to make his son too frightened, so he interrupted again and asked, "By the way, this time, Li Kuo was quite loyal. He has been with me for a while now. It's time to make a move. After you go back, you can arrange it."

"Yes." Zhang Xiping heard the words and led Zhang Xi to answer.

………………

"So that's the case, Tian Youqing has such a plan, it's a bit courageous, and it really shouldn't be underestimated."

On the other side of the city, in the study of the Qiu Mansion, Qiu Yan was savoring some information.

On the side, Xi Muyuan's soul wandered, and he couldn't help but marvel: "I didn't expect Brother Qiu to quietly set up chess pieces in the capital. No one would have guessed that Li Kuo, who is stalking the crowd, has already become your eyeliner."
