Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 302 Don't make a fuss

When Du Rusong heard the anger shown by the Confucian scholars in Sichuan, unwillingness and resentment appeared on his face.

Of course he had reasons not to dare, and reasons to be resentful.

In the process of changing dynasties between Qing and Ming.

Naturally, there will be many "interested losers".

For example Du Rusong.

In fact, Du Rusong's family background is not very rich and powerful, but a small landlord in Luojiang County, Chengdu Prefecture.

But a very promising small landowner.

Because his elder brother Du Ruchong had already won the Juren, and he was also a scholar at a young age, and was considered to be one of the most talented Sichuan talents who had the best chance of being a Jinshi.

under these circumstances.

As long as either of the two brothers can get the official.

The Du family in Luojiang County immediately prospered.

Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.

All the wasted money can be used to buy land.

As such.

The Du family in Luojiang County will grow from a small family to a big landlord! !
What is Tianshelang in the morning and Tianzitang in the evening, what is the golden house in the book.

That's it.

If everything was normal, the Du family in Luojiang County would definitely be prosperous. Neither of the brothers had married wives, so there were many high-ranking families who came to propose marriage.

however.

Daming is here.

Everything has changed.

First of all, there were successive wars, and the imperial court (Qing Dynasty) lost the south at once, and the imperial examination was suspended for several years.

Then it sold officials wantonly in Sichuan.

Big households from all over the country have sold the local magistrates.

Then the Du family was unlucky, and the family's land was robbed by the county magistrate of Luojiang County.

These things bought by local officials all have to be paid back. Where did this book come from? Isn't it from a rich family like the Du family who has a little money but no background background.

Although the Du family still has more than 30 mu left.

Not quite broke yet.

But it has fallen from the landlord class to the "rich peasant class".

After the class fell, the brothers of the Du family didn't have such a good time, and they finally waited until the dynasty changed and they were preparing for the exam.
Daming changed the exam papers.

No more stereotyped exams!

If the Du family still has the previous family background, they can go to the "Imperial Examination Assault Training Course" in Zhongdu to study.

Many children from big families in Sichuan went south by boat to Zhongdu, where they went to attend remedial classes with "famous teachers of new studies".

But how can a child from an ordinary family like Du Rusong afford it?
If you can't afford it, you can only study by yourself.

The system of this new learning is very different from the Four Books and Five Classics. Without guidance, some people can't even find a way to get started by self-study.

Therefore, the anger and unwillingness of the Sichuan scholars are understandable.

They have studied the four books, five classics and stereotyped essays for a lifetime.

In the end you have to start all over again.

Especially Du Rusong, a once promising "talented scholar", has completely lost his former glory now.

It's the same as the scholars here who are clamoring to petition.

The more Du Rusong thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

'right!We must go to Zhongdu!We Confucian scholars have a great righteousness, sweep away heresies, and rule the world with the sages of Confucius and Mencius! '

"Yes! Keep the righteous way, defend the learning of saints!"

"Go to Zhongdu! Go to Zhongdu!!"

Soon, the voice of going to Zhongdu spread to all of Sichuan with Chengdu as the center.

It even began to spread to peripheral identities.

"I'm afraid something will happen if you make such a fuss."

"It's okay to make a fuss, but the current imperial court can't understand it."

A mansion somewhere in Chengdu.

Two old men are playing chess.

These two are considered to be the most famous Confucianists in Sichuan at present.

One of them was named Li Tiaoyuan, and the other was named Zhang Wentao.

Li Tiaoyuan, Zhang Wentao (Zhang Chuanshan), and Peng Duanshu are collectively known as the "Three Talents in Shuzhong in the Qing Dynasty".

Li Tiaoyuan served as an official in the Qing Dynasty, and successively served as editor of Hanlin and Xuezheng in Guangdong.In the first month of the 46th year of Qianlong (1781 A.D.), he was promoted to serve as a sailor and prepared for the road. Because of the impeachment of the prefect of Yongping, He Shen was framed and sent to Yili. It was not until 1785 that he was redeemed by his mother and wrote at home.

Zhang Wentao was a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty. He wrote "Chuanshan Poems and Grass", with more than 3500 poems in existence.His poetry is full of genius, and together with Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi, he is called the "Three Masters of Xingling School" in the Qing Dynasty, and together with Peng Duanshu and Li Diaoyuan, he is called the "Three Talented Scholars in Shuzhong in the Qing Dynasty", and he is known as "the rebirth of Qinglian" and "the comeback of Shaoling". , "The crown of poets in Shuzhong" in the Qing Dynasty.

They are very famous in Shu.

However, the two men did not publish any articles criticizing the New Deal in the newspaper this time.

Both of them were officials in the former Qing Dynasty. Although it is said that there are quite a few people who have been officials in the former Qing Dynasty in the current Ming Dynasty, both of them have given up their thoughts on being officials, and they live in seclusion in their hometowns and write books with peace of mind. up.

This time, many local literati asked them to write a book to criticize the new learning, and the two were not moved.

However, after all, there are many students between the two who have also been affected by this "syllabus major reform" incident, so it would be a lie to say that they don't care.

"Although I haven't moved the knife inward much today, but if it gets serious, once the knife moves and the hole is opened, it will be out of control."

Li Tiaoyuan said with a sigh.

"Is there any way, Shangxiong is so talented today, he has established the world in just a few years, the prosperity of martial arts far exceeds the capital of Emperor Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, Zong and Song Zu, the northern border has reached the extreme north, and the south has included all the Nanyang Islands in his pocket The size of the country cannot be compared with that of the Yuan Dynasty, and the strength of force is not as good as that of the Jutang. How can such a master be coerced by mere Confucian scholars to go to Zhongdu to petition and protest? Hitting a rock with an egg." Zhang Wentao shook his head and said.

"In addition, the requirements of Sichuan scholars are too radical now. It is absolutely unbelievable to attack ritual learning! You can only attack Western learning and promote middle school."

"However, the content of Confucianism in this imperial examination is too little. If you can increase the content of Confucianism and tilt the score a little bit, it is not impossible." Li Tiaoyuan said, "Brother Chuanshan, look... this time the court will back down Is it a little?"

Zhang Wentao thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Hearing this, Li Tiaoyuan could only sigh.

"It seems that you and I should also go to Zhongdu."

Of course, the Great Confucianists from all over the country are recruiting as much as possible, and there are still several positions for the Great Scholars of the Hongru Academy.

Emperor Zhu did not say that he particularly rejected Confucianism.

It's just that he didn't regard Confucianism as a means of governing the country. What is needed for governing the country is still economical talents.

As for Confucianism, in Emperor Zhu's view, it is still suitable to exist as a philosophical theory.

The establishment of Hongru Academy and the recruitment of great Confucianists from all over the world is equivalent to establishing an academic research institute of Confucianism.

It is also good for these great Confucians to have a place to go.

Li Tiaoyuan and Zhang Wentao, two celebrities from Shu, were naturally recruited by the Ming court, but they didn't leave for a long time.

This time the scholars in Sichuan were all agitated.

If there is no one in Sichuan, the emperor will be violent
The consequences are unimaginable.

It's nothing to make a fuss in general.

Afraid of making a big fuss.

Not only this time, people from Sichuan could not take the imperial examination.

I'm afraid that Sichuan people will not be welcomed in the Ming court in the future.
So it's okay to make a fuss, but it must be reasonable and well-founded.

You can't provoke the emperor Lao Tzu to use a knife or a gun.
