First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Cui Liang was so frightened that he trembled all over, full of fear, needless to say.

But it is also really helpless.

In this way, a total of [-] officials and scholars were brought to Fengtian Hall.

Qian Yongren knelt down obediently, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have selected [-] smart and capable officials and Confucian scholars according to my will, and I can leave for Qufu immediately to assist Zhang Xiang and establish Fudan School."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Qian Yongren, get up."

After receiving the emperor's order, Qian Yongren stood with his hands down, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Whether it is life or death depends on whether this level can be overcome?

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I asked you to prepare 200 people, and we also decree that we also prepare 200 people, let them come in too!"

Qian Yongren is unknown, so another 200 people came?

Where did you find it, why haven't you heard of it beforehand?

And which scholar is unlucky?

Qian Yongren couldn't figure it out for a while, but soon he was dumbfounded, because the group of people who came according to the order were not teachers, but a group of warriors.

Even if they weren't wearing armor and battle jackets, they could still recognize them. The murderous look on their bodies was not fake, nor were their arms like wooden fools.

Look, there are several people with scars on their faces, and they smile like little ghosts from hell.

What are you going to do with such a group of people?

Could it be to supervise everyone, afraid that the big guy will run away?

After Qian Yongren thought about it, he couldn't find the answer for a while, only fear in his heart.

Looking at the unlucky ones who were selected, and looking at the warriors here, they were all shocked, their faces turned green, what's going on?

What are these things for?

Seeing this group of people panicked, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart seemed to blossom.

One word: happy!

It is obviously a school that benefits the country and the people, and a purpose should be scrambled to do it, but it has been delayed by these grandsons until now, how many things have been delayed!

Lao Zhu's heart was full of fire, and if he didn't let it out, Zhu Yuanzhang would go crazy.

Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng came up with an excellent idea, which not only resolved Lao Zhu's anger, but also solved the problem of the school to a certain extent, and made Lao Zhu feel twice as happy.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ignore them, and killed them one by one.

But he couldn't see that this group of people were arrogant and pretentious, so he specially prepared a shackle for them.

It is these meritorious soldiers in the army!

"You may not know why you went to Shandong to set up a school, and there are these soldiers in the army." Lao Zhu said with a smile: "We have thought very hard about what a school should teach! It is poetry and poetry, moral articles Does it seem to be incomplete? We remember that Confucius advocated the Six Arts. Is there such a saying? That is to say, a real Confucian scholar should be able to write and perform martial arts, horseback riding, archery, writing articles, arithmetic, and be proficient in everything. It is."

"Qian Yongren, are we right?"

Qian Yongren's heart was beating wildly, his face was pale, he already sensed that something was wrong, I brought you the man, why do you have to work hard?

I beg Your Majesty to spare me, I can't bear this little body!

Qian Yongren was full of bitterness, but still wanted to nod, "Your Majesty's words are very true, but it's not so easy to be both civil and military. I think..."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Zhu waved his hand.

"We also know that it's not easy to achieve both civil and military skills, so why don't we find a way! From now on, Fudan Academy will be assigned both civil and military masters to teach them together. You all get to know each other, and we will be together in the future , Educating talents for the country."

Ah!

Despite the risk of being disrespectful, many people still made exclamations.

What do you mean?

Let's teach students with these rough warriors, what will they do?

No!

Absolutely not!

Almost everyone's eyes fell on Qian Yongren, you are the Minister of Rites, so what the hell are you talking about!

It's a pity that Qian Yongren lowered his head, as if he was dead, he was ready, His Majesty just come here casually, I can handle it!

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the anger of these literati, but he didn't care at all, and just ordered a warrior at random.

"Let me ask you, can you shoot arrows?"

"Yes! He even shot seven Tartars to death." The warrior replied proudly.

Old Zhu nodded happily, "Okay, so you have killed Yuan soldiers and made great achievements. We have today's Ming Dynasty, and you are the hero!"

Having received the emperor's approval, the warrior was even more delighted, and unconsciously straightened his back.

"Let me ask you again, let you teach students, what can you teach?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I can teach archery, fists, horseback riding, and tell them to kill the enemy to serve the country and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I also want to be an upright official, worthy of Your Majesty!"

"it is good!"

Lao Zhu clapped his palms and laughed, in fact, he did complicate the issue of enlightenment.

The best schools in the world may not all be top talents.

In fact, in most cases, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual.

These warriors can teach horseback riding and archery, and they can also tell them about military affairs. By the way, they can also correct the three views and encourage them to be loyal and honest officials... If this is not worthy of being a teacher, who else can do it?

Is it necessary to let people teach students that there is a house of gold in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book?

To put it bluntly, Zhang Ximeng really helped him a lot, just to make the soldiers read and understand the truth, and they benefited a lot.

This group of warriors trained in the army are loyal, brave, and obedient.

Compared with them, those Confucian scholars really have nothing more to show off except they know a little sour poetry and read a few more articles.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at those literati again, with smiles all over his face.

"You have also heard that the six arts of a gentleman are advocated by Confucius. When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. It is also what Confucius said. Let them walk with you. You are teachers and students, ask each other for advice, sharpen your knowledge, and hone your character. , to teach the students well together.”

Qian Yongren remained silent, he made up his mind today to pretend to be a dead dog, even if his mother died, he would not say a single word.

Tired, destroy it!

I don't care what you want to do.

It's just that Qian Yongren didn't speak. Among the scholars present, some people couldn't bear it.

Trembling, an old Confucian stepped out from the crowd.

He gritted his teeth, and said in grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, a martial artist has no virtue, how can he cultivate talents for the country? The school invites a martial artist to be a teacher. What's the reason? What's the reason?"

Finally someone fired, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, and he was happier than anything else to see these things deflated.

"You say a martial artist has no virtue? So what is virtue? For the great Ming, he was born and died, in order to expel the barbarians, spilled blood on the battlefield, and sacrificed his life. Is this called no virtue? What is virtue? The virtuous man in front of me, What have you done for Daming? Have you contributed to our country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill people directly, but explained the truth to this man. As expected, he had learned from Zhang Ximeng. His logic was rigorous, his words were sharp, and he pointed to the vital point. He could score at least 95 points.

And the Confucian scholar on the opposite side was also dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't expect that Lao Zhu would say that... After a moment of stunned, he continued: "I have been on the battlefield, and they are fierce and cruel. Let them get involved in teaching and enlightenment. A bunch of lunatics without a king or a father?"

"Bold!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sternly reprimanded, "Since the founding of the Zhao Song Dynasty, they have emphasized civility over martial arts and despised warriors, so that Jingkang was ashamed and Yashan was defeated. In the Central Plains, martial arts were cut off, and the people were weak and incompetent. This is the portrayal of Zhao Song's literati!"

"My Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties. I just want to return to the style of martial arts. It is only natural to teach students with martial arts!"

The Confucian scholar in front of him was amazed, fell to the ground and cried loudly, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Your Majesty, warriors are unruly and unruly, using them will only lead to the destruction of the country! Your Majesty's lesson!"

"Absurd, absurd!" Zhu Yuanzhang sternly scolded, "Warriors are rebellious, and you are not malicious and selfish! Things that are good for you are said to be hypnotized to confuse the king. If it is not good for you, you will use all kinds of sophistry, Confuse black and white!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "We not only need to make heavy use of warriors, but also let them shoulder the burden of education. The so-called morality comes first, and in the future school evaluations, Dr. Wu will be the first. All warriors should not only teach students, but also pay close attention to this. Help people, if they dare to talk nonsense and confuse the students, they will play immediately, and we will never tolerate adultery!"

Now it's all right, warriors can not only teach students, but also manage the school.

The warriors knelt down together and stood up shouting long live.

As for the literati gang, it's bitter wind and rain, like mourning for a concubine... But why do they dare to speak out?I can only lament in my heart, the gentleman is not here, the dignified scholar has become the slave of the warrior!

Everyone still focused their eyes on the Confucian scholar on the ground, hoping that this person who is not afraid of death can argue with reason and show the bones of our literati.

But suddenly everyone felt that something was wrong, and looked forward, it turned out that this guy was so angry and angry, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he was dying.

Please call the doctor!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced, "How can you teach students well with such a heart? It doesn't matter if you don't save them! Qian Yongren, there is one person missing, you can make up for it!"

Qian Yongren's eyes widened in an instant, "..."

Chapter 514 Unlucky Zhu Biao

Qian Yongren really wanted to cry, no matter how doggy he was, he still hadn't escaped this catastrophe.At this time, Qian Yongren also realized the reason why those people were unwilling to go to Shandong.

In Yingtian, the salary is high, there are many subsidies, comfortable living, convenient food, not to mention all kinds of benefits.

Most of them are from the south. When they went to Shandong, they were not used to eating scallions, steamed buns and pancakes. They also didn’t understand the local dialect of Shandong, and they were not used to the climate of Shandong. I heard that winter is dry and cold. !

Survival was already difficult, so His Majesty sent a bunch of warriors to follow him, let them surpass the literati, and also in charge of school affairs, sweeping the floor gracefully, with no shame, no wonder Qi Ben vomited blood and died in grief and indignation.

It really makes life worse than death!

Why don't I just hang myself, and it'll be over once and for all?

This idea popped up.Qian Yongren shook his head quickly, determined to shake it out of his head.If he dared to die, it is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang would destroy his nine clans without hesitation, peel their skins, and make pillow family barrels.

Don't worry, Lao Zhu can definitely do it.

Even for the sake of my family, I have to go to Shandong.

However, after thinking about it, Qian Yongren found that he was not without any advantages at all, after all, he participated in the construction of Jimin School.That said, he has pretty decent school experience.

If we can show our talents in Shandong and run Fudan School well, it will be different.

Maybe I can turn salty fish over, return to the court and be promoted again.

And this time, I not only want to run a school, but also strive to become a Ph. D., be responsible for teaching, and cultivate a few talents, not for anything else, but for the sake of having a group of people cheering for me in the future. .

Let's not talk about anything else, this time he was coerced by the bastards below and almost lost his life. What's wrong?

Although he is the Minister of Rites, but there are not many cronies below, they must not be able to protect him from the wind and rain.

The foundation is not deep, and there is no courage to do things. You are caught in the middle and suffer from the anger at both ends.

Not worth it, not at all!

Of course, it is not so easy to make meritorious service in running a school now.

The first thing is to ask the higher-ups to hand things over to you.

The question is, can the above trust you?

Or even say who is on it?

After a night of reflection, Qian Yongren felt that this could only be Zhang Xiang!

None of the others.

Including Your Majesty!

There is no way, with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, he is more willing to severely punish corrupt officials, and the rewards given are not many and are biased towards generals.On the contrary, Zhang Ximeng, unknowingly, pushed Wang Guangyang to serve as Henan's chief political envoy, and Liu Bowen to serve as Shandong's inspector.

Many of the rest of the civil servants came from Zhang Xiang's sect...

I'm so stupid, really, I only know that I have to take care of the minds of the people below, and don't let them make trouble, but I forgot that my black hat is in the hands of others.

Zhang Xiang, I understand!

Take the small one!

No one thought that this person would have enlightened himself before he even entered Longchang.

Then, when he went to Shandong, Qian Yongren showed why he was able to climb to the high position of Shangshu... First of all, Qian Yongren took the initiative to propose that everyone who went to Shandong should carry a bookcase on their backs and go on foot.

That's right, it's similar to the thing Master Xuanzang carried on his back when he traveled westward.

These literati are all crying, obviously there is a boat, so it’s not good to take the canal?
