Chapter 36
Song Lian had observed the behavior of the three of them in the main hall, and he had a rough judgment on the conduct of the three of them in his heart.

All are good, especially Hu Hanshan is the most satisfied.

He waved his hand and led the three of them out of the main hall and from the back hall to the back yard.

Come to the backyard.

There have been seven or eight people standing in the cold chrysanthemum gardens of red and two colors, green hibiscus and so on.

Hu Hanshan looked around and knew all of them. They were all the top ten talents in Jinling who were very famous in Jinling.

Song Shen from Fujian, Tao Yu from history, Liu Lian from Guan, Wang Zichi from Lian, and others, all of them will be great Confucian scholars in the future.

Hu Hanshan's good brother Liu Wentai is also indispensable, a young talent with extremely high attainments in Confucian classics.

Hu Hanshan didn't understand why there was such a big battle today, and he couldn't understand one thing even more.

It is rumored that the children of bureaucrats and gentry who came to the Hanju Garden in the backyard of the Licaotang in the East are all learned Hulian from various schools.

How did he get mixed up with this strange thing like consort Lu Xian?

The son-in-law Lu Xian also had a great reputation in Jinling, but it wasn't a good reputation, a reputation comparable to that of the country's uncle Ma Fan and the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo Hu Hanshan.

Jinling's first prodigal son.

Liu Wentai took a few steps back and came to Hu Hanshan not far from the entrance of the backyard, and saw his doubts.

Lowering his voice, he seemed to be discussing the next countermeasures, helping Hu Hanshan worship under Song Lian's sect.

In fact, with a voice that only the two of them could hear, he revealed the true identity of the son-in-law Lu Xian: "The son-in-law Lu Xian is actually the avant-garde swordsman of the government army."

When Hu Hanshan heard about this official position, he immediately understood why the son-in-law Lu Xian was able to come here.

There are only a handful of 40 avant-garde sword officers in the government army, who are responsible for personally protecting the safety of Emperor Hongwu and the imperial guards around Emperor Ming.

Compared with the big Han general in front of the palace in Jinyiwei, he is much closer to the emperor.

To have a right that officials dare not dream of.

The power to report directly to Emperor Hongwu without going through Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang.

In the Hanchrysanthemum Garden, most of the prince Zhu Biao's cultural background after he became the emperor was invited. With such a great momentum, it is inevitable that Emperor Hongwu will become suspicious.

Keeping a son-in-law Lu Xian here is to put everything under the eyes of Emperor Hongwu.

Very few people know the identity of the son-in-law Lu Xian, one is Tan Tanweng, and the other is Song Lian, the prince's teacher of the Five Classics.

Tan Tanweng was able to tell Liu Wentai about this because Emperor Hongwu intended Liu Wentai to be an avant-garde knife officer of the government army who monitored civil servants in eastern Zhejiang.

Liu Wentai had always been extremely disgusted with the factory guards, so he directly rejected Emperor Hongwu at the risk of dissatisfaction.

Later, I don't know why I saved my life, so I was ordered not to let it go out. When I came out of the palace, I happened to see the back of the son-in-law Lu Xian.

Today, I told Hu Hanshan this secret at the risk of beheading, just to let him be on guard, lest he beheaded if he said something he shouldn't have said.

Hu Hanshan raised his head suddenly, and almost couldn't help looking at his son-in-law Lu Xian, but soon he seemed to have got some kind of trick.

He patted Liu Wentai on the shoulder vigorously.

I was very touched, I never expected to have such a close friend who was enough to entrust his wife and son.

Liao Shirong and the eldest son of the servant were tense, and they really thought that Hu Hanshan had got some kind of strange scheme, which greatly increased the possibility of being worshiped by Song Lian.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so worried. The one who spoke out to help Hu Hanshan was Liu Wentai, who became one of the top ten talents in Jinling just by virtue of his classics.

Song Lian stood at the front and didn't notice what was going on behind him.

The people had already arrived, and a large scroll of landscapes placed in the middle of the Hanju Garden was opened.

Liao Shirong and the others knew what it meant after a glance.

Although Hu Hanshan was ignorant, he was forced by his father Hu Weiyong to read many classics and history collections when he was young.

After seeing the big axis of mountains and rivers, I understand why Song Lian created such momentum.

Goose Lake meeting.

A grand gathering of scholar-bureaucrats in the second year of Chunxi in the Song Dynasty.

A famous public case between Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism and Lu Xue.

After Song Lian has passed the examination of the three people's conduct, the next step is to test the three people's real materials.

Liao Shirong and the eldest son of the assistant minister breathed a sigh of relief, everything is in the possibility of discussion, and it is also their best classics.

If it was really a competition of poetry, music and fu, the two would definitely lose to Hu Hanshan who wrote Linjiang Xian.

As for Confucian classics, Hu Hanshan was directly excluded.

This is not something that can be imagined out of thin air like poetry and music. Confucian classics rely on more than ten years of hard work.

Hu Hanshan also breathed a sigh of relief.

It gives me a headache to look at those sloppy scriptures, not to mention studying hard every day.

In order to be the first to get ahead, Liao Shirong made a good impression on the Prince's Five Classics teacher, using the knowledge he had studied hard for many years to speak first.

The public case of the Goose Lake meeting was originally a dispute between Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism and Lu Xue, arguing over whose theory is the orthodox way.

Liao Shirong is proficient in Luxue, and talked about the essence of Luxue: "Whether it is Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism or Luxue, the most fundamental debate lies in the investigation of things.

Late students think that investigating things is the original mind, the original mind of invention.

It is not necessary to read a lot of books, nor to be busy confirming external things, as long as you cultivate virtue, you can understand things.

Become a generation of sages."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qingyuan, the eldest son of the servant, became anxious and shouted: "You know that the moon is printed on Wanchuanhu!"

"Clearly investigating things is to exhaust the principles of things. How can scholars be wise if they don't read a lot?

Investigate knowledge.

To, push to the extreme.

Know, still know.

Only by understanding the principle of things can we get the truth.”

Hu Hanshan stood beside him without saying a word, watching Liao Shirong and Ye Qingyuan arguing with each other.

Citing various classics, you can get all kinds of classics essentials at your fingertips.

Can't help but a little stunned.

Is this still the sour scholar he thought?

Not only can he tell all kinds of allusions casually, but he also has a penetrating understanding of governance such as corvee, taxation, farming, liberation, and patrolling.

Hu Hanshan really opened his eyes. No wonder this land has been the most powerful unified dynasty for thousands of years.

Kun and Wan Guo have rotated so many dynasties, and they still rely on the rule of man just like the pre-Qin Dynasty.

As early as the Han Dynasty, this land has risen from the rule of man to the rule of the country.

From being careless at the beginning, Hu Hanshan gradually turned into listening carefully.

What the two were arguing about was a dispute over orthodoxy in a public case, but what they said was easy to understand, which is what Confucianism really advocates.

Especially when Ye Qingyuan demonstrated in detail the moon seal Wanchuan, all kinds of profound truths were expressed in plain language.

Hu Hanshan, an ignorant dude, has a sense of satisfaction in acquiring knowledge.

Hungry.
