The Most Powerful Man in the World

After taking down the last "suicide note", as expected, the luck altar shook slightly. Chu Yi did not rush to check how many luck points this book had added to him, but read the book first and wrote down the contents.

Yang Shen, who was on the side, was holding the "Yi Chuan" and was fascinated by it. Chu Yi put down the "suicide note" in his hand and looked around.

If it was said that he just wanted to see if Ercheng had an inheritance left, and at the same time absorbed some of the essence contained in the classics to balance his xinxing.

What he didn't expect was that he accidentally discovered a way to get luck points, and this way is very effective. As long as he can find the ancient books written by the sages, he can gain some luck points more or less. .

Songyang Academy has been inherited for thousands of years. During such a long period of time, Songyang Academy once had more than one sage and great scholar to give lectures here, and more or less left some handwritten classics.

It can be said that except for a few thousand-year-old families who have inherited poetry and calligraphy, the most likely place in the world to find the handwriting of the sages is the world-renowned academy like Songyang Academy.

Gongsun Han, who was not far away, did not dare to do anything unusual at this moment, for fear that it would anger the director of the East Factory, whose hands were stained with the blood of the disciples of the academy.

Turning his eyes to Gongsun Han, Gongsun Han couldn't help his body froze, and now he heard Chu Yi say: "If I remember correctly, Sima Guang, Zhu Xi and others used to give lectures at Songyang Academy. Are there any handwritten books left by them in the past?"

Gongsun Han opened his mouth, and finally looked at the Ercheng classics that Chu Yi put on the bookshelf, gritted his teeth and said, "Several great Confucians did have handwritten books in those days, but now the only ones that are still preserved in the academy are the books by Mr. Sima Guang. The thirteenth volume of Zizhi Tongjian, Zhu Xi's "Nature and Ritual Essence", and Mr. Li Gang's "Analects of Confucius" in three volumes."

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with anticipation, "Oh, hurry up and find it, the Governor wants to read one or two."

Sima Guang and Li Gang were both famous Confucian scholars. The handwriting they left behind must have some luck. As for Zhu Xi, this man is known as the master of Confucianism. To this day, he is like a sage among literati.

It's just that Chu Yi is very disinterested in his theory of "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires", and this person has a disadvantage in personal morality. However, this person's theory is in line with the needs of a certain group of people, so that it can be accepted in a grand manner. He was regarded as a sage, and after a thousand years, the people's wisdom was enlightened, and this person's reputation was extremely poor.

Chu Yi is also quite curious. As the most influential Confucian school and the master of the Neo-Confucianism branch, how many luck points can the handwriting he left behind!

The trembling Gongsun Han carefully brought the scrolls of mottled classics to Chu Yi as if he was holding a supreme treasure.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on a book, and he only looked at the strong and powerful characters on it. Needless to say, this is the "Analects of Confucius" written by Li Gang. Taking it in his hand, the altar of sea and air transportation shook slightly.

Chu Yi also took one of the volumes "Zizhitongjian" left by Sima Guang in the academy, and the altar of luck also responded.

His mind sank into the sea of ​​​​knowledge and checked, these two books added nearly [-] luck points to Chu Yi.

It's not that Sima Guang and Li Gang's two hand-written classics are poor, and who made the Zizhi Tongjian just one of the volumes.

With the influence of Zizhi Tongjian, if it is a complete set of Sima Guang's handwriting, Chu Yi is almost certain that the complete set of Zizhi Tongjian can at least contribute thousands of qi to him. Luck point.

When Chu Yi took Zhu Xi's book of "Nature and Ritual Essence" in his hand and looked at it, the altar of luck shook, Chu Yi immediately checked it, and at a glance, Chu Yi sighed in his heart.

It was just a volume of the essence of sexual rituals that made him soar by as much as [-] luck points. Although he was a little surprised, considering the great influence of the Neo-Confucianism in the hundreds of years since Zhu Xi's completion, it was only one volume among Zhu Xi's many classics. Being able to have [-] luck points is quite amazing.

After Chu Yi looked through this book, the essence of sexual etiquette, he pondered for a long time. With Chu Yi's erudition, he could naturally see the thoughts contained in this book.

It's a pity that Chu Yi doesn't agree with the ideas in it.

The infuriating qi in his hand spit out slightly, and in an instant, this volume of "Nature and Ritual Essence", which could be regarded as a holy relic to all scholars, turned into ashes in Chu Yi's hands.

Seeing this, Gongsun Han's expression changed greatly, and he almost instinctively rushed towards Chu Yi, his eyes were red and he shouted like crazy: "Eunuch, you dare to destroy the ancient books written by the sage Zhu Zi, and destroy my Confucian holy relics, this old man will fight with you. It's gone!"

Chu Yi couldn't help sighing. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the influence of Neo-Confucianism on the Ming Dynasty and even the Manchu Qing in later generations was beyond the imagination of later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, literati in the world regarded Zhu Xi as Zhu Zi, the only one who was not a direct disciple of Confucius and enjoyed worship at the Confucian Temple.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kangxi praised it even more: a collection of great achievements and a thousand-year-old learning that has been passed down for thousands of years, opened up the ignorance and established a certain return for hundreds of millions of generations.

Looking at Gongsun Han in a desperate posture, Chu Yi stretched out his hand towards the center of his eyebrows. In an instant, Gongsun Han's body froze, his face was full of madness and hideousness, and his figure fell to the ground.

Yang Shen sighed with emotion. He did see the scene of Chu Yi destroying the book "Nature, Ritual and Essence". As a scholar, although he felt a little regretful, he didn't expect Gongsun Han to react so violently.

Yang Shen learned from his family and learned from others' strong points. Later, he wrote a book to criticize Zhu Xi, which shows that he was not a follower of Neo-Confucianism.

Chu Yi looked at Yang Shen and said, "Does Yongxiu think that Chu is a ruthless person who destroys the ancient books of the sages?"

Looking at Gongsun Han, and then at Chu Yi, Yang Shen sighed, "Murderers are philosophies, not overseers!"

Chu Yi put his hands behind his back, and his eyes flashed with wise Guanghua Dao: "The famous Songyang Academy in the world is controlled by people like Chen Qi and Gongsun Han. Among these many scholars, there are a few people who can share the worries of Your Majesty, for the sake of His Majesty. For the well-being of the people!"

Yang Shen said solemnly: "The Governor seems to have a prejudice against my generation of scholars?"

Chu Yi took a deep look at Yang Shen, who was quite dissatisfied, suddenly laughed, turned and walked towards the exit of the underground library, and said at the same time: "Yang Yongxiu, if you are a believer of Neo-Confucianism in the future, the Governor will kill you! "

Looking at Chu Yi's back in surprise, Yang Shen was very puzzled. Looking at Chu Yi's reaction, he seemed to have a lot of opinions on scholars in the Neo-Confucian lineage.

Yang Shen didn't know that Chu Yi had a soul from later generations in his body. Standing in the lower reaches of the river of time, he knew the influence of Confucianism on China. If he and Chu Yi exchanged, it would be the same. Chu Yi is average.

The former fanzi quietly dragged Gongsun Han's body away.

When Chu Fang saw Chu Yi walking out of the library, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master, is there anything to gain?"

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Little Fangzi, you can bring a few students from the academy to the underground library, and look for it for the master, but all the classics written by the sages and great scholars will be taken by the master. Lord find out."

Chapter 48 It just depends on who is better at chess!

Chu Fang took the order in awe, and now Chu Yi said, "Where's Cao Shaoqin?"

Chu Fang hurriedly said: "Returning to the governor, Eunuch Cao is dealing with those few scholars who dared to criticize the governor at the academy square!"

Chu Yi raised his brows involuntarily. He was really curious as to how Cao Shaoqin dealt with those scholars. After all, he had blinded those scholars before.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yi said, "Go ahead! The Governor takes a walk in the academy by himself."

Previously, Chu Yi once sighed that Songyang Academy is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Standing in the academy and looking into the distance, it is the towering Zhongyue Songshan Mountain. The ancient trees in the academy are towering, and the breeze is blowing, and there is a faint noise.

Now that night has come, there are lights in the academy, although it is not brightly lit, it is quite bright in this night.

Before he knew it, Chu Yi walked to the place where the academy square was. Looking from a distance, several figures in the square were quite strange.

Chu Yi stepped forward, and at this moment, Cao Shaoqin and several other stall owners also noticed Chu Yi, and hurriedly saluted Chu Yi: "I'll wait to see the Governor."

Nodding slightly, he turned his eyes to the strange figures he had seen earlier. After a look, Chu Yi couldn't help but be slightly taken aback and said, "What's going on?"

It turned out that on the flat ground above this square, there were actually a few people buried in the ground with most of their bodies, and they were exposed from the waist up above the ground.

Chu Yi could recognize that these scholars whose most of their bodies were buried in the soil were the same people who had been stabbed in the eyes by criticizing him in private before, but he didn't know what was going on.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at the few scholars and said to Chu Yi: "Master, the subordinates think that these scholars are too abhorrent, the master does not kill them, but the master has kindness, but the subordinates are angry. However, since they claim to be reading seeds one by one, then our family will bury them in the soil to see if these reading seeds will germinate and grow into the pillars of the court."

Hearing that, Chu Yi was really stunned. After looking at the few scholars and then Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi couldn't help but ask, if they call themselves the seeds of reading, you bury them in the soil and hope that they will take root and sprout. Some people claim to be the pillars of the country. Could it be that Cao Shaoqin will cut them into sticks!

However, there is a saying that the wicked have their own grind, and these scholars may not be considered wicked, but these people are sometimes a hundred times more terrifying than the wicked.

A mere wicked person is at best the evil side. It is already a great evil to be able to harm hundreds of people. However, once these people act against their conscience, they will harm not only a hundred people, but hundreds of millions of people will suffer from it.

Seeing Chu Yi's calm face, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but say to Chu Yi, "Duke, have your subordinates done a little too much!"

It is impossible to cover up what happened today, even if Chu Yi could be cruel, slaughtered the entire academy, and even chased after the Dengfeng magistrate who was the insider and even those government officials.

There is no impermeable wall in this world. The bloody case of Songyang Academy will surely shock the world. Chu Yi had already anticipated this when he chose to kill the killer.

If he didn't even think of this, Chu Yi would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the director of the East Factory. At this time, after listening to Cao Shaoqin's words, Chu Yi chuckled: "The sky is falling because there is a director who is standing on it, let's talk about it. Now, this matter has become a big one, and it may not be good for me to wait."

Cao Shaoqin and others couldn't help but be a little confused when they saw the mysterious smile on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth. How could they think that this academy murder case was extremely unfavorable to Chu Yi, or it might be the end of losing office and killing him, but it depends on his own supervisor. With a confident look, the worry in his heart naturally disappeared.

In the academy, in a spacious room filled with the scent of ink, Chu Yi was standing in front of a bookshelf looking at the books in the row above.

This is the residence where Chen Qi was sentenced to by the academy. At this moment, a figure was crouching in front of the desk. On the desk, the letters were neatly arranged.

In about an hour or so, Chu Yi had already read nearly ten volumes. At this moment, the foreman eunuch of the East Factory, who was sitting at the desk and transcribing letters, got up and said to Chu Yi: "Supervisor, everything is in order, no one can see it in custody. A flaw."

This person is an old man from Dongchang, and he is one of several foremen. This time, he was taken out of Dongchang by Chu Yi. This man has a unique ability to imitate human handwriting, and the handwriting imitated by his hand is exactly the same. , even if the imitated person himself may not be able to distinguish which one is written by himself and which one is forged.

Since a bloody case was made in the academy, it is natural to find a way to end it. Although Chu Yi is not very satisfied with a considerable number of literati, he is also very clear that this great tomorrow has been passed down to Zhu Houzhao, not the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he became the ancestor Zhu Di.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the civil service group that was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di at the beginning of the founding of the country has now grown into a behemoth. This behemoth is intertwined in Daming. It can be said that even at this time, even if the Taizu resurrected, it would be difficult to shake the power. Huge civil service group.

In the battle of Tumubao, the original three-legged situation of civil officials, military generals, and eunuchs was completely broken. The military generals and nobles group, which could stand on the same footing with civilians and eunuchs, suffered a disaster. The British public Zhang Fu led many military generals and honors. Since the death of the war, the civilian power has overwhelmed Xungui in one fell swoop. It can be said that after the change of Tumubao, the Xungui group of military generals in the DPRK had little right to speak, and they were reduced to the absurd situation where the dignified third-rank military generals had to salute the seventh-rank civilian officials.

Once the bloody case in Songyang Academy broke out, it would definitely suffer a frantic counterattack from the civil service group. It was precisely because of this fact that Chu Yi had a little leeway when he made his first shot, but only blinded the few scholars. s eyes.

Even if it was a big trouble, Chu Yi was not afraid at all.

However, Chu Yi obviously underestimated how much these literati led by Chen Qi cared about his eunuch status, or that Chen Qi wanted to create a big storm after learning his identity.

To be precise, what Chen Qi wanted to target was not him, but Liu Jin, who was covering the sky with one hand.

Liu Jin's sole control of power naturally touched the interests of the court's civil service group. An undercurrent against Liu Jin was surging. It was precisely Chu Yi who came to Songyang Academy and was chosen by Chen Qi as a breakthrough against Liu Jin.

After all, in the eyes of the civil service group, Chu Yi and Liu Jin are both eunuchs, and there is no difference. Whoever put Chu Yi in charge of the East Factory is notorious.

It's a pity that Chen Qi underestimated Chu Yi. Although he achieved his goal of making a big news that shook the world, he took his own life.

Before walking to the desk, Chu Yi read the forged letters one after another, and then compared them with Chen Qi's previous letters. It can be said that they are exactly the same. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Yi would not have believed that [-]% of these letters were written. made for.

"Cao Shaoqin, come in!"

I saw Cao Shaoqin walked into the room and said to Chu Yi, "Master, what are your orders!"

Chu Yi handed the dozen or so letters to Cao Shaoqin and said, "You want to send these letters to Liu Jin through the nails that Liu Jin placed in our East Factory."

Cao Shaoqin was stunned for a moment, then after scanning the contents of one of the letters, he couldn't help giggling and said, "The Governor is trying to kill people with a knife, and his subordinates admire him."

Chu Yi was the only one left in the study room. At this moment, Chu Yi was sitting under the candlelight, and the beating candlelight reflected on Chu Yi's face. Chu Yi's slender fingers rubbed between his eyebrows and whispered softly, "I didn't expect that. The side effects of the Sunflower Collection are still manifested, fortunately, I can read and cultivate one's mind and condense the spirit on weekdays, otherwise it would be really difficult to suppress the murderous intention in my heart so easily!"

One hand tapped on the table lightly, only to hear Chu Yi slowly say: "If you want to solve the problem that the sunflower collection affects your mind, you only need to find a way to cultivate your mind and strengthen your mind."

[Ask for a recommendation ticket, reward or something. 】

Chapter 49 The Tree Wants to be Still, But the Wind Doesn't Stop

Wang Yangming has gathered the great achievements of Lu Wang's heart and learning. Nine times out of ten, he has the method of refining the mind and nourishing the nature, but Wang Yangming has not yet reached the peak of his life, so everything is hard to say.

Therefore, compared to Xun Wang Yangming, Chu Yi is more inclined to Taoism. Longhu Mountain is a leader in Taoism. If you want to find the way to cultivate your mind, then Xun Tianshifu Zhang family must be right.

The reason why Chu Yi thought of the Zhang family of the Tianshifu was because of the close relationship between the Zhangjia of the Tianshifu and the royal family of Daming. Since the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperors of all dynasties have favored Taoist priests, attached great importance to the magic of immortals, and especially It is better to be honest than to be true.

The most obvious thing is that the succession of the Tianshifu Zhangjia Tianshi was handed down by the emperor himself.

In addition to the Zhang family of Tianshifu, Chu Yi also has a goal, that is, the Wudang Mountains, but relatively speaking, Wudang is more focused on martial arts, but Chu Yi decided that these families will all go one way. The harvest, when the time comes, the director of each family is used and it is not too bad.

It was a long night. For the scholars in the academy, it was a really long night. Almost no one dared to close their eyes, for fear that Chu Yi would send someone to kill them.

However, when dawn came, a red sun rose from the east, and the light shone on the earth. In the past, at this time, the sound of chanting books must be heard in the academy, but today it is silent.

Chu Fang, who had tossed around in the middle of the night, sent a few volumes of books to Chu Yi's room early in the morning. These were the books he ordered to search through the entire academy before they found a few books that met Chu Yi's requirements.

According to Chu Yi's requirements, it must be a book written by a great Confucian famous in the world. The most important thing is that this book must also be an elaboration of the essence of his own thoughts, not just copying the classics of the sages.

In this way, even though the Songyang Academy has a large collection of books and a profound background, it is difficult to find a few books that can meet Chu Yi's requirements.

After all, in the past dynasties, there are many sages in the world who can be called great Confucians. If they really search for the handwritten manuscripts they left, they can also find a batch of them. If nothing else, Songyang Academy alone can find them. Hundreds of great Confucian handwritten classics came.

However, among these handwritten books, there are really few books that can be called biography.

Chu Fang bowed his head and stood aside, Chu Yi sat there, looking at the books in front of him with only five or six volumes. Although there were not many, this was beyond Chu Yi's expectations.

Chu Yi himself knew that it was not that easy to find books that would increase his luck, and it was enough to find these books now.
