"This person is the new commander of the Jinyiwei Duke Xingguo!"

"What?" Liu Zongzhou immediately asked subconsciously when he heard this, "Who, who did you say?"

Commander of the Jinyiwei, Duke Xingguo? How is this possible? This is simply impossible!

In Liu Zongzhou's view, to be honest, he felt that he was more powerful than Wang Yangming, whom he admired the most. A person like this must be a well-educated man. He has been studying things for many years and accumulated for many years before he could achieve such success!

But at this time, Huang Zongxi actually told him that this person was Zhang Mingwei! He was so young, even younger than Huang Zongxi, how could it be him!

Huang Zongxi not only experienced Liu Zongzhou's mentality himself, but also saw it in Fang Yizhi, so it was not surprising at all. After hearing Liu Zongzhou's doubts, he hurriedly said: "It's true, it's true! Mentor, don't forget that the emperor always calls him Mr. Wang. If he doesn't have real talent and knowledge and does not use his knowledge to convince the emperor, would he call him Mr. Wang?"

"This is impossible! This..." Liu Zongzhou said this subconsciously and suddenly stopped.

Yes, is the emperor a fool? If not, then he would call a younger man than him a gentleman. Just in front of so many ministers, would the emperor not be ashamed of face?

But if it is as Huang Zongxi said, it would be reasonable for the emperor to call him Mr.! By the way, it seems that Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the seal and the admiral of the East Factory, also called him Mr.

Thinking of this, Liu Zongzhou was stunned again. Although rationally, he accepted this conclusion. However, emotionally, to be honest, he was a little difficult to accept: How could that Zhang Mingwei be so powerful!

It was never famous before, but it was like suddenly falling from the sky and was born like this?

Where did he learn these knowledge? Which great scholar was he learned from?

He is a Confucian scholar who works hard to bring peace to all ages. He is obviously a Confucian scholar, but why have you never heard of it?

Huang Zongxi next to him was a little worried when he saw that Liu Zongzhou had not spoken. After waiting for a while, he still didn't respond. He shouted, "Mr., mentor, you have agreed to let the students go to study!"

Hearing him speak, Liu Zongzhou came to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of course, he knew the character of this student best. From what Huang Zongxi was so eager to see that no matter how he couldn't figure out what Zhang Mingwei was doing, one thing was absolutely certain, that is, Zhang Mingwei must have the ability and had convinced him, the student.

He was thinking, but Huang Zongxi misunderstood and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xingguo Duke is what students see. He is the rare person who is dedicated to serving the country and the people and is willing to bring peace to the world. Not to mention other things, just with so many refugees outside the capital, he only stood up and gave them proper placement. Also, when the students and Mizhi visited, they happened to see Xingguo Duke riding a horse on the school ground..."

Hearing this, Liu Zongzhou was a little surprised and looked at what he was going to say.

"...... At that time, there was a misunderstanding, so I sarcastically said that the state affairs were so critical. Why did Duke Xingguo have such leisure to have fun?" Huang Zongxi recalled, "I thought the Duke Xingguo was angry, but who knew that Duke Xingguo's reply was really beyond the expectations of the students..."

"What did he say?" Liu Zongzhou asked curiously when he heard this.

After hearing this, Huang Zongxi immediately replied: "The Xingguo Gong said, I can't ride a horse, but as you said, when the country is in trouble, I should join the army! It is inevitable to fight on the battlefield. If you don't learn how to ride a horse, how can you kill the enemy? How can you achieve peace in the world?"

After repeating it word by word, he said earnestly: "Mr. Xingguo Duke, whether it is character or knowledge, is the most admired by students. I also ask my teacher to allow students to learn from Xingguo Duke."

Huang Zongxi knew that his mentor admired people with both virtue and talent the most, and even valued virtue more, and did not recognize Cao Cao's talent. This is true. In the court, he always advised Emperor Chongzhen in this way. Even if Emperor Chongzhen did not agree, he still insisted on his own opinion.

Therefore, Huang Zongxi felt that if he could tell his mentor about the Duke of Xingguo for his country and the people, he would be able to gain his favor and allow him to study and study.

It has to be said that Huang Zongxi still has a deep understanding of Liu Zongzhou.

Liu Zongzhou's proposal, how could there be room for survival in the late Ming Dynasty? After all, intrigues and party struggles in the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty, how could there be people with both moral integrity and talent? In the end, even if Liu Zongzhou is famous for his knowledge, he was excluded by others and lost his post several times. It was not surprising at all.

At this time, after hearing what his student said, Liu Zongzhou suddenly realized. Before that, he had a little emotion about why Zhang Mingwei was not a good civil servant but wanted to be a military general. It turned out that he abandoned his pen and joined the army and wanted to bring peace to the world!

With such a high level of knowledge and so devoted to the public, thinking about this, Liu Zongzhou subconsciously ignored Zhang Mingwei's age, and nodded seriously and said, "Go, I support you, study hard, strive to learn as soon as possible, and do some practical things for the country and the people. Don't let down such a good opportunity!"

Hearing this, Huang Zongxi was overjoyed and immediately bowed and promised: "Don't worry, the teacher, the students will definitely not lose to Mizhi. They will definitely work hard to study and be practical in the world!"

The term "Practical" is proposed by thinkers Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The reason for this is that it began in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. After the economic development and living standards improved, the wind of empty talk and arrogance began to prevail and reached a peak by the end of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, signs of troubled times had already appeared, especially when the Chongzhen period began, the world was in chaos. Therefore, some knowledgeable people realized that empty talk was abusing the country, so they turned to practical learning.

If we develop according to the original history, these knowledgeable scholars and officials have sublimated their understanding of the path of practical learning after the disaster of their country. This is also true, and they have finally produced many outstanding works, including ideological and scientific aspects.

However, at this time, the original budding practice was used, under the influence of Zhang Mingwei and under the irrigation of his knowledge from studying things, he suddenly grew up healthily.

After hearing Huang Zongxi's words, Liu Zongzhou was very pleased and sighed: "If you want to revive the Ming Dynasty and return to the prosperous era, you still have to rely on you! Follow Duke Xingguo to study hard and do things. Thinking that with you, your teacher will definitely support the situation and not let them do whatever they want!"

To be honest, the chaos in the court today made him feel that he couldn't do things well at all, and he was a little discouraged.
