Chapter 72                                                             �

Zhou Mengchen said, "Chi'er, after you look at it, you will know. In fact, after taking this thing, you should leave. But I am still celebrating my 80th birthday, and I hope you will stay too."

"My first half of my life has been completed, and the achievements behind me are on you."

Although Wang Keshou didn't understand, he still solemnly took the box away.

That night, Wang Keshou read at night, and a trace of flame was jumping in his eyes. I don’t know if it was reflected in the light of the candle, or the flame in his heart. Or he saw the light.

So I couldn't sleep all night.

Some people also stayed up late at night.

But they didn't endure it on purpose.

But people are old and can easily get out of sleep.

After Li Yunzhen washed Zhou Mengchen's feet, the two of them lay on the bed. Li Yunzhen said, "You value it so much, can you bear it?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Why do you think I value Wang Keshou?"

Li Yunzhen said: "After so many years, I don't know you. After so many years, I have sorted out your manuscripts. Many of them are written in a mess, so I will copy them again and then archive them. However, I didn't interfere in the red box from beginning to end. If it is not important, you wouldn't be willing to hide them from me. The things in it were given to Wang Keshou? Isn't it important?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "I have been like a lot of students all over the world in my life. I can't remember the hundreds or thousands of disciples I have received. And there are about a hundred disciples in my life, maybe divided into three groups, the first batch, and the first wave is before I became famous, and they were the ones."

Speaking of this, Zhou Mengchen sighed slightly in his heart.

Li Yunzhen said: "People have been gone for many years. They are all considered to be a good end. We will also see them in a few years."

The prominent feature of Zhou Mengchen's first wave of disciples was that they were not much different from Zhou Mengchen's age. Therefore, Zhou Mengchen lived to be eighty years old, but few of his disciples lived to be eighty years old and most of them were gone.

Only Feng Bao is still there.

I don’t know if it was because Feng Bao was gone and he lived longer.

The rest are gone.

Even Zhou Mengchen said that more than a hundred personal disciples have survived, but only dozens of people have survived.

Time is so ruthless.

Zhou Mengchen paused slightly and said, "I won't talk about them anymore. The second batch was when I was in power. Most of the disciples I received were for political purposes. The most outstanding ones were probably Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue. But these people each have their own heritage, and from this point of view, they are not my disciples."

"The third batch is the disciples I have taken in the past twenty years. To be honest, I have been writing books carefully for over twenty years and have not paid much attention to my disciples and professors. These disciples are still young and are still young. It is hard to say what achievements will be made in the future. But the best of these people is Guan Yingzhen, Xu Guangqi, and Wang Keshou."

"Xu Guangqi should take over my mantle. The official should be determined to be in the officialdom. In the future, he will not be able to become the chief minister."

"Wang Keshou's achievements throughout his life, but he doesn't know whether he can succeed or not, everything will be over. If he can succeed, Wang Keshou should be on the opposite side of the official Yingzhen."

Zhou Mengchen paused slightly in his heart and said to himself: "Maybe they, brothers and brothers, will fight each other in the future."

Li Yunzhen didn't know what Zhou Mengchen said, but she secretly chewed Zhou Mengchen's thoughts in her heart and figured out Zhou Mengchen's intentions. But she never expected that the Ming Dynasty's Duke and Taifu would plot a revolution that overturned the Ming Dynasty.

You know, to a certain extent, the Zhou family is also considered a royal relative.

Zhou Mengchen is probably good.

Xu Guangqi took over Zhou Mengchen's mantle and became a great inventor. Many of Zhou Mengchen's theories were Xu Guangqi's landing, and Xu Guangqi's most famous invention was the internal combustion engine. It was just because the Ming Dynasty lacked oil. The use of internal combustion engines stagnated for a long time. It was decades later that it began to use it on a large scale due to the discovery of Nanyang Petroleum.

Guan Yingzhen did not disappoint Zhou Mengchen's expectations. Guan Yingzhen entered the cabinet in his later years in Wanli. After Wanli's death, he took over the internal and external power on behalf of the cabinet. Wanli was strong all his life and had mastered the power of the government since he was over 20 years old. However, facing the same fate as Jiajing, his heirs were very ordinary.

This seems to be a curse.

The heirs of a strong monarch will not be very strong or even weak.

It is probably because two strong fathers and sons would probably be a tragic copy of Emperor Wu of Han and the Crown Prince.

Guan Yingzhen controlled the government for twenty years, and of course, the chief minister of the cabinet for ten years. He also continued the prosperous period of Wanli for ten years. He even tried his best to win the Battle of Tianzhu and sustained the life of the Ming Dynasty.

The official should be in a state of great power, and he should be in charge of the country's power within and seize the Indians outside.

Some even ranked Zhou Mengchen, Zhang Juzheng, Guan Yingzhen, and the three of them were ranked together as the three prime ministers of Huguang. Their achievements were one after another. Guan Yingzhen also became the last glory of the Ming Dynasty.

But Wang Keshou and his senior brother Guan did not meet each other.

After Zhou Mengchen's eighty birthday, Wang Keshou traveled far away to the south of the Yangtze River. He stayed dormant for decades to study and truly integrated what Zhou Mengchen left to him.

When the Little Ice Age arrives.

The fiscal deficit of the Ming Dynasty had reached an unsustainable point.

So, a tax increase agreement was reached at the State Conference.

This made the people resentful, and the people in the northwest rose up.

After Wang Keshou learned the news, he traveled thousands of miles to the northwest and looked for supporters among the rebels. However, this uprising was soon extinguished by the powerful court.

Wang Keshou was even arrested and brought to Beijing.

As Zhou Mengchen's disciple, Wang Keshou was one of the famous scholars in the world. It was incredible that he participated in the uprising. In addition, many of Zhou Mengchen's disciples rescued him one after another.

Wang Keshou preached in prison and spread the capital he revised. In the end, Wang Keshou was still sentenced to death.

However, Wang Keshou's death did not stop the surging wave of revolution. Instead, countless people regarded Wang Keshou as a pioneer. After decades of war, the revolutionary army invaded Beijing and established a new China.

Zhou Mengchen was even listed as the source of thought in New China.

During the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Mengchen promoted Qixue to the status of Guanxue. From then on, Zhou Mengchen's status was unshakable. After a great revolution, Zhou Mengchen's amazing foresight was further confirmed.

It also made the name of Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen’s ancestral tomb became Zhou Lin.

However, this is a story later. Zhou Mengchen has long been unable to see it. Now Zhou Mengchen has to face his 80th birthday first.
