Xiao Jing had a smile on his face, but his smile was a little stiff.

But soon, he gave up everything.

It’s better not to mention such a person. Liu Jin’s letter is still on His Majesty’s desk. How can this letter be explained then?

What a pity.

Otherwise, with this contribution, Liu Jin would be able to be worried for the rest of his life.

Even if he is not in the Eastern Palace, the twelve supervisors, the fourth department, and the eight yamen in the palace, he must have his place.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed extremely happy, Ouyang Zhi solved the big problem.

The city was defended and more than 7,000 Tatars were killed, which was enough to exhale.

Ma Wensheng also said excitedly: "Your Majesty, after this battle, it will be enough to make no worries about the Tatars within the five years of the Ming Dynasty. The Tatars took the risk of plundering, with the original intention of winter coming, and they did not store enough food and grass. This time they returned with a defeat, this winter, the population of the Tatars will inevitably decrease greatly, and they will lose a lot of rice if they steal chickens."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing happily, and said with a red face: "It's precisely this principle that Ouyang Zhi is really rare in character, and he is a rare talent."

Emperor Hongzhi's appreciation of Ouyang Zhi was too obvious, and Fang Jifan couldn't help but snuck: "Your Majesty, my disciple..."

He seldom said that the word "disciple" was, no matter how awesome he was, wouldn't he rely on his mentor to get involved in society? Without his mentor as his mentor, he would be today? If his disciples are like this, his mentor would be even more powerful.

Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt first." As he said that, he looked at Ma Wensheng excitedly and said, "The next reprimand memorial goes to Duoyanwei, Duoyanwei snake and rat, and asks whether they want to betray their original swearing. If they refuse to be loyal to our Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter. Tell them that I will hunt the desert next year, so I have to bend each other and fight against each other."

Ma Wensheng's face was full of eyebrows.

At this time, the three guards of Duoyan dared to wait for the price with the Ming Dynasty!

He nodded and said, "In addition, I would like to ask Your Majesty to order the Duoyan Guard to attack and attack the remnants of the Tatars. If they don't fight, we will fight the Ming Dynasty. Then our elite troops in the Ming Dynasty will display Daning. Let's see who is frightened."

Emperor Hongzhi burst into laughter again. He has always been steady and rarely laughs as happily as he is now. He can almost imagine how regretful and fearful the people of Duoyanwei would be.

Yan Weiyuan wanted to place a double bet between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty. Now that the Tatars were defeated, the Ming Dynasty had time to slowly torture them. What was placed in front of them was to surrender obediently. In order to show their loyalty, they had to offer a letter of fame.

In this way, as Ma Wensheng said, within five years, the desert was stable, and the court had enough time to raise funds to continue to attack the Tatars.

"Send Ouyang Zhi back to Beijing immediately. This time he has worked very hard in Jinzhou. I feel so wronged that he will leave him in just one Jinzhou. I will order the governor of Liaodong to move to Jinzhou and reorganize the military affairs of Jinzhou."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he glanced at Fang Jifan: "Of course, Fang Jifan also made contributions."

Huh... I finally haven't forgotten myself.

Fang Jifan felt warm.

Liu Jian also nodded and said, "Yes, Fang Jifan has also made contributions."

Ma Wensheng also nodded.

Everyone agreed.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said, "Good news, I want to pass on the mansion report immediately, and clearly state that Ouyang Zhi will return to Beijing and ask him to come and see him immediately. I really want to see him."

Emperor Hongzhi was energetic and smiled happily again: "It's really not easy for a scholar to travel to Jinzhou."

After sighing, the ministers' faces shone on their faces, Liu Jian couldn't help but think of his son Liu Jie, who is still a scholar, but he is already the top scholar and has made great achievements. What a difference. Fortunately, he is not jealous, he just feels a little emotional!

The 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou were saved, and he relaxed, feeling happy, and couldn't help but say, "This may be the rumored unity of knowledge and action?"

The four words of knowledge and action come out, but it suddenly became cold in the warm pavilion.

Everyone seemed a little taboo.

Xie Qian couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liu, do you also know that knowledge and action are united?"

Liu Jian suddenly reacted and secretly became angry. What happened today? He was so proud that he forgot to do it. Perhaps it was because he admired Ouyang Zhi too much! However, this new school is indeed not a guilty one, it is just inconsistent with mainstream ideas.

The literary inquisition that people are familiar with actually started from the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty court only guided the mainstream consciousness. Although there were some taboos, the royal family tried their best to avoid them. For example, the emperor's name must not be the same in terms of emotion or reason. If the emperor was called Liu Da, then the big word would not be allowed to be used.

Although the Ming Dynasty also inherited this set of etiquette and laws, in order not to make people feel inconvenient, he simply created his own characters. After all, he could not use names used by ordinary people. So he found a character by himself and then added a word next to it, just like Zhu Houzhao. In fact, the character "沪" should have a radical, but it should actually be "沪", while Emperor Hongzhi was named Zhu Youzhao, and this character also added a radical. As for Zhu Houzhao and the like, it is generally the same.

These characters were not used by the emperor himself, and in later generations, the periodic table of elements was all created by emperors of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what element it is, it would be absolutely right to add a golden character next to it.

However, although it is innocent to promote new learning, it is somewhat taboo to promote non-mainstream consciousness as a minister of the court.

Liu Jian was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I have heard of the unity of knowledge and action. I feel familiar with it. Today I can just use it. Why? Is there any allusion to integrate knowledge and action?"

This answer is really beautiful.

Xie Qian was obviously disgusted with this new school and said with some indignation: "It's just a group of young scholars who gathered together to attract attention. The Ministry of Rites has received complaints from many scholars, all of whom are saying that they are learning bad people's minds. However, this is too harsh. A group of young people are just playing around and unconventional. It's normal to hear that many scholars in Beijing actually went there to learn new learning, which is indeed easy to cause worry."

Fang Jifan heard Xie Qian's evaluation of the new school and smiled, so he simply ignored him. As for the new school, he said it was new. How could he be easily accepted by a group of old gans? Oh no, the old antiques could easily accept it? If they could easily accept it, that would be a ghost.

In fact, as long as Wang Shouren would not be retaliated against for advocating his doctrine, Fang Jifan would not care too much.

Emperor Hongzhi also smiled and looked meaningful, and he kept silent from beginning to end.

Liu Jian smiled slightly and said, "Yes, young people nowadays really don't know what to say. If you don't study hard, it's too late to study the Four Books and Five Classics, but they are unconventional every day. This trend is very bad. However, Mr. Xie doesn't have to worry. The court's eight-part essay selection is based on the Cheng-Zhu Jing Notes. Why worry? Most scholars are still obedient. Such matters are just details. If you and I take it to heart, this matter will become a big deal, which seems to be great. You and I can't see it. It will naturally disappear like the Luoxue in the past. What's wrong with this?"

Xie Qian has a hot temper and does have some complaints about this, but he is not as steady as Li Dongyang and Ma Wensheng. Now, after hearing what Liu Jian said, he was ashamed: "It's still what Mr. Liu said, but I'm a petty family."

Everyone laughed.

It’s just that Liu Jian’s smile is a little stiff.

Because he found that Fang Jifan seemed to be looking at him with the look of "silent test".

Of course, all of this was just his illusion. Fang Jifan actually never cared about Professor Wang Shouren's new learning. He was unwilling to steal Wang Shouren's limelight, so naturally he could not know that Wang Shouren's first lackey was named Liu.

But Liu Jian always felt that Fang Jifan knew something, so Fang Jifan's honest smile that he tried hard became a little...had bad intention in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi was also pretending to be stupid.

He knew about the new learning. Didn’t the prince go to the unity of knowledge and action every day? Of course, he had to pretend to be stupid. Xie Qian and others seemed to not object to the prince going there. This is because the prince is different from scholars. What the prince wants to learn is to govern the country and pacify the world, and to experience the sufferings of the people is not a bad thing. But in the hearts of Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and others, the top priority for scholars is to do eight-legged essays, make classics, take the imperial examinations, and everything else belongs to the category of not doing the right job.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little embarrassed, and then sat upright and said, "Yes, what you said is reasonable. In the blink of an eye, the college entrance examinations in the two capitals and thirteen provinces are about to begin, but there are still scholars who are unwilling to calm down and study. This... is very bad. However, as Liu Qing's family is polite, let them go to this new study. When these scholars fall, they will naturally know that they will take the right path."

"Your Majesty's wiseness." Everyone praised it.

Emperor Hongzhi just smiled: "Today's business is over here. Please go and do your own things. Fang Jifan, stay here. I want to ask you about Ouyang Zhi."

Ouyang Zhi’s affairs…

What happened to Ouyang Zhi?

Fang Jifan was a little confused. He was still a little scared just now. Wang Shouren was strongly criticized when he encountered the dissatisfaction of the princes in the temple.

After all, I am afraid that few old ministers are willing to accept fresh things.

In the blink of an eye, Your Majesty seemed to be more concerned about Ouyang Zhi's issues.

Liu Jian and others have already stood up and left.

After everyone left, only Xiao Jing stood aside with a smile.

Emperor Hongzhi took a look and glanced at him.

Only then did Xiao Jing realize that the so-called everyone was surrendered, including him.

He felt a little resentful in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "I... take my leave!"
