Chapter 54: Li Zhi

"Do you know Li Zhi?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong and asked slowly.

"Return to your majesty, I know."

Luo Sigong quickly said: "Li Zhi, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian. His first surname was Lin, his given name was Zai Zhi, and later his surname was changed to Li, his given name was Zhi, his courtesy name was Hongfu, his nickname was Zhuowu, his nicknames were Wenling Jushi, Baiquan Jushi, etc. Jiajing Thirty-one He was elected in the annual examination and took the examination. He was appointed as a doctor by Gongcheng and became a doctor of the Imperial College. In Wanli, he became the prefect of Yao'an and gave up his official position."

"I stayed in Huang'an and Macheng, and when I gave lectures in Macheng, I had thousands of followers, including many women. In the 30th year of Wanli, Zhang Wenda from the Ministry of Rites reported to Shenzong and criticized Li Zhi in accordance with the orders of his chief minister Shen Yiyi. In the end, Li Zhi was arrested in Tongzhou on the charge of "daring to advocate chaos, confuse the world and falsely accuse the people", and his works were burned, and Li Zhi committed suicide in prison."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong with a thoughtful expression on his face. Did someone tip him off? He couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Hong.

Zhu Youxiao's sight almost scared Chen Hong to the point of peeing.

Chen Hong knelt on the ground with a plop, banged his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have never done this."

After just saying these words, Chen Hong lay on the ground and never spoke again.

Chen Hong knows his own prince well. If he defends himself, he will be taken down. There is no need to say too much, just say one sentence and then quietly wait for the prince's decision.

At the same time, Chen Hong was also complaining in his heart, what kind of thing is this! Luo Sigong is also harming people, why do you think you remember it so clearly? That Li Zhi has been dead for so many years, why do you still remember him?

"Get up." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "It's embarrassing, get out."

"Yes, yes." Chen Hong agreed, hurriedly got up from the ground, then turned around and retreated outside.

When Chen Hong went out, Zhu Youxiao asked, "How did Aiqing know so clearly?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have been studying recently." When Luo Sigong said this, his face was a little embarrassed. For fear of Zhu Youxiao misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "I want to know more about Donglin Academy."

Zhu Youxiao immediately understood that he was stimulated, and Luo Sigong obviously wanted to show off.

There has been a lot of commotion in the imperial court recently about lectures. As for what caused the commotion, it is very simple. Wei Zhongxian has already circulated Zhu Tongmeng's question book. Since it has been circulated, it has naturally caused an uproar.

Luo Sigong was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian, so he was naturally unconvinced. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were fighting for power for more than a day or two.

This is the case in history, but in history Luo Sigong was defeated and dismissed in the end, and the Jinyiwei was replaced by one of Wei Zhongxian's own, namely Tian Ergeng.

Now this kind of competition has just begun. Apparently Luo Sigong has also found some direction. That is, the biggest reason why Wei Zhongxian was able to stand up despite being impeached by countless people, and the more he got better and better, was because of Zhu Youxiao's connivance. , and the biggest reason is that what Wei Zhongxian does is in line with his own wishes.

This is not something difficult to guess. If we turn around and look at what Wei Zhongxian does, it is not difficult to guess what he has done to satisfy himself.

Luo Sigong obviously had this in mind, so he targeted the Donglin Party, and that's why he said he was studying Donglin Academy.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch and looked at Luo Sigong with a smile: "Ai Qing is quite honest."

"I will never tell lies in front of Your Majesty." Luo Sigong bowed quickly and said.

What Zhu Youxiao said is very simple, that is, Luo Sigong dared to say that he was trying to figure out the Holy Will. You must know that this is a taboo matter. How can you, a minister, figure out the emperor's thoughts?

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care. This was another verbal rule, which meant that it could only be said in words but could not be implemented at all.

In this world, there are so many officials in the court, who doesn’t want to figure out His Majesty’s thoughts? Who doesn’t want to know His Majesty’s thoughts? How many people can restrain themselves from thinking about it?

Of course, some people can restrain themselves because they don't have to think about it.

The reason is very simple. The emperor must do what they say, otherwise he will be a coward. What the emperor thinks is not important. What is important is that the emperor does what they say.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that what they needed was not an emperor, but a god. As long as the emperor sat there, not talking, not moving, not eating, and not spending money, that was the best for them.

For example, the Donglin Party thought this way, and the next second Zhu Youxiao thought of another person, that was Confucius.

Isn't that what this sage is like? He doesn't speak, doesn't move, doesn't eat, and lets them dress up, so Confucius's status is raised higher and higher, and his descendants, the most sage sage, are all named Yanshenggong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao laughed again. He suddenly felt that things in this world were actually like this. No wonder the emperors were all alone. In fact, they just understood the essence of some things. For example, it may not be true that your queen marries you.

If you like you, your son may be filial to you so that you can die early.

Under such circumstances, how can the emperor not be a humble man? The ministers around him want you to be what he wants, and the eunuchs around him want you to be what they want. Who cares what you really look like?

Looking at Luo Sigong's statement, Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I don't hear about it, I only see it. Since you know Li Zhi, that's good. You go and find someone for me. It's best to be a disciple of Li Zhi who can succeed Li Zhi."

mantle."

After saying this, the expression on Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and his voice became deeper: "Don't let the news get out."

"Your Majesty, I believe that among Li Zhi's students, Wang Keshou is of the same lineage to inherit Li Zhi's mantle." Luo Sigong said directly without thinking.

Wang Keshou's lineage?

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested, leaned back and said, "Then let's talk about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Sigong agreed, and then continued: "Wang Keshou, whose courtesy name is Yixu and whose nickname is Yifeng, is from Wangge, Huangmei Dushan, Hubei Province. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, and was first appointed as the Jinhua Order of Zhejiang Province. He was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Later, he successively served as Yuanwailang, Langzhong, Magistrate of Ji'an in Jiangxi, Deputy Envoy of Shanxi Tixue, Jiangxi Right Participant, Shandong Bazhou Bingbei Road, Shandong Inspector, Shuntian Prefect, Datong Governor, Minister of War, Governor Ji, Liaodong, Baoding, etc.

place."

"When he learned about Ji'an in the 20th year of Wanli, he built Bailuzhou Academy; in the 37th year of Wanli, when he was the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, he held a "joint lecture" in Baoqing Temple to gather the listeners, and changed it to "Xiaoxi" in the east of the temple.

"Garden" is Guanzhong Academy, where Feng Congwu lectures."

"After Li Zhi's death, Wang Keshou, Mei Zhangke, and Su Shiyu donated money to erect a monument for him, and the temple of Wenling's ancestors was built in Xilun, Jinjiang, where incense is enshrined."

When Zhu Youxiao listened to Luo Sigong's report on Wang Keshou's life, he felt a little strange in his heart. Today's second update is presented. I recommend a friend's "The Three Kingdoms Begins with Saving Cao Cao's Father". If you like the theme of the Three Kingdoms, you can check it out.
