Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Is Su Shi wrong?"

"This, history is difficult to explain clearly."

Jiang Ning shook his head.

In fact, for an official like Su Shi, it was impossible for him to go far in the court.

after all.

At this time, the new party and the old party were constantly fighting.

If you want to achieve success, you must choose a good team and show your attitude.

Just like Su Che.

Su Che insisted on being an old party member.

Although he was also demoted, after the old party came to power, his promotion was like a rocket.

Even if the old party lost power in the end, because the old party was also very powerful in the DPRK and China, the new party would not dare to demote Su Che in the end.

So at that time.

You want to gain a foothold in the government.

Or, you are an old party member.

Or, you are a new party.

if it is like this.

No matter how the new party and the old party attack you, as long as the new party and the old party gain power, you will be reused immediately.

But while you are opposing the old party, you are also impeaching the new party.

Then, neither party will consider you to be on their side.

finally.

Although Su Shi made a comeback, he was always on the road to being demoted because he was not a core figure between the two parties.

of course.

Su Shi did this not because of a problem with his emotional intelligence.

For people like Su Shi.

He doesn't like such partisanship.

What he prefers is that both the new party and the old party should consider the court.

and so.

He is originally from the old party, but he will also oppose some bad strategies of the old party.

Even if Zhang Dun saved his life, he would still write a letter to the court for the sake of the court.

"Did the two finally become enemies?"

The crowd sighed.

There is no solution.

From a broad perspective, Su Shi was right.

but.

From an ethical point of view, Zhang Dun absolutely cannot accept this approach.

"Maybe, but the two of them are not necessarily complete enemies."

Jiang Ning shook his head and continued: "After Su Shi received the amnesty, he met Zhang Dun's son on his way back to Beijing. Zhang Dun's son was worried that Su Shi would deal with his father Zhang Dun if he got re-employment after returning to Beijing. But Su Shi said to Zhang Dun's son, "I have known the Prime Minister for 40 years, and although there were some conflicts in the process, these were only official conflicts, and there were no problems in personal relations."

"Here, Su Shi naturally has a noble character. He will not do anything to Zhang Dun because of personal hatred. But whether Zhang Dun thinks so, we have no way of knowing. However, judging from Wang Anshi's reform, he influenced a series of In the lives of historical figures, sometimes, in the competition between the two parties, they often have no choice but to do what they want."

"After the death of Zhezong of Song Dynasty, because Zhezong had no children, the empress dowager summoned all ministers to ask who should be appointed as emperor. Zhang Dun said that King Shen should be established according to his age. The empress dowager said that King Shen was weak and sick and could not be established as emperor. Zhang Dun still wanted to say something, but Zeng Bu on the other side reprimanded him and said, let the empress dowager handle it. In the end, the empress dowager decided to appoint King Duan, that is, Huizong of the Song Dynasty. After Huizong of the Song Dynasty inherited the throne, Zhang Dun was demoted along the way and died at the age of 71. In Zhejiang.”

Zhang Dun finished speaking.

But everyone once again put their thoughts on Wang Anshi's political reform a thousand years ago.

in it.

There is Su Shi, the first person in the Song Dynasty in a century.

There is also Zhang Dun, who has a very fierce temperament and was Su Shi's friend at the time, but eventually became his enemy.

Likewise, there are Zeng Gong and Zhang Heng, who were low-key officials and lived their lives peacefully.

……

"Let's continue. In this list, in addition to Zhang Dun who served as prime minister, there is another Jinshi who also served as prime minister. His name is Lu Huiqing. Like Zhang Dun, he is also a representative of the New Party. He was also the number two figure in Wang Anshi's reform. Originally he was Wang Anshi's most trusted assistant, but official history records that after Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister, he took out many letters with Wang Anshi to frame Wang Anshi. At the same time, in the constant battle between the new party and the old party , Lu Huiqing’s official position also had ups and downs. Later, everyone thought he was treacherous, and neither the old party nor the new party dared to reuse him. Therefore, in his later years, Lu Huiqing was demoted from the center of power and has been serving in local governments."

Same as Zeng Bu and Zhang Dun.

Lu Huiqing was also included in the biography of traitorous officials in the history of Song Dynasty.

Simultaneously.

Compared with Zeng Bu and Zhang Dun, Song Shi hated Lu Huiqing even more and considered him treacherous.

But there is also a lot of controversy in this area.

Many historians in later generations believed that.

Lu Huiqing is still worthy of recognition for his reform, and he also believes that he is a relatively talented political reformer.

As for the breach of trust, it seems that many historians have reversed the verdict.

"The other one is called Wang Shao. In his early years, Wang Shao failed the imperial examination many times. It was not until he was 27 years old that he passed the Jinshi examination. However, Wang Shao's grades in the imperial examination were average with Su Shi's, and he also worked as a local boy in his early years. Official. Later, the imperial court prepared a special department, but Wang Shao did not perform well. Therefore, most of the time, Wang Shao only served as a smaller official."

"But despite this, Wang Shao has a long-term vision in his heart. Although he is a scholar, he likes the art of war very much. He often goes to Shaanxi Province to play, and while playing, he writes down things. After several years of field investigation After that, Wang Shao wrote three pieces of "Pingrong Policy" and dedicated them to Shenzong. After reading them, Shenzong thought Wang Shao was a talented person, so he transferred him to the capital and was reused."

"Because Wang Shao was very strategic, even though Wang Shao was a civilian official, he was still trusted by Shenzong and allowed him to lead the troops. In the few years when Wang Shao led the troops, Wang Shao achieved major military exploits. In Xihe In the battle, Wang Shao regained the five states of Xi, He, Tao, Min, Dan, and Qi, opened up more than [-] miles of territory, and recruited more than [-] surrender troops. This war was the most important war in the [-] years since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. The greatest military victory ever achieved in a foreign war."

"But it's a pity that the Northern Song Dynasty failed to make full use of this victory! Although Wang Shao was reused and was named deputy privy envoy, he later had disagreements with Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong, and was demoted from the court. A few years later, he fell ill And die."

"Another one, his name is Cheng Hao..."

in one breath.

Jiang Ning talked about Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Zhang Heng, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Wang Shao, and Cheng Hao.

These people.

Some are relatively well-known.

Some are not well-known, but they held very important positions in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Next, there is another person that Jiang Ning wants to talk about the most.

"Finally, there is another person. I think this person's achievements and ideas are not inferior to Su Shi's."

"Who is this if not under Su Shi?"

"Zhang Zai."

"Who is Zhang Zai?"

Compared to Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing...them.

Zhang Zai is undoubtedly unknown to more people.

after all.

Many of the big guys before, even if they were not particularly well-known, had all held very high positions.

You'll find out when you go back and check.

But Zhang Zai really doesn’t have much introduction in history books.

As for why.

It is also very simple.

Because Zhang Zai's official position is not very big.

At the same time, it seems that no political achievements have been achieved.

"Zhang Zai was a Jinshi in the same batch as Su Shi. He was smart since he was a child, and showed a character that was different from ordinary people at a very young age. When he was 15 years old, his father died while going to Fuling to take office. He and his mother, Lu, had The 5-year-old brother Zhang Jian protected the coffin all the way. On the way home, the family passed by Hengqu. Because they thought the local customs were very good, Zhang Zai and his mother finally settled here."

"Like Wang Shao, Zhang Zai was very fond of military affairs when he was a boy. When he was 21 years old, Zhang Zai wrote to Fan Zhongyan, who was in charge of northwest defense work, stating his opinions on the use of troops. Fan Zhongyan summoned Zhang Zai and liked Zhang Zai very much. A young and promising young man. But he said that you are a Confucian scholar, so why should you work hard on military affairs? You should work more on Confucianism."

"At this point, Zhang Zai followed Fan Zhongyan's advice and went home to study "The Doctrine of the Mean" assiduously, but he was still dissatisfied. So he read Buddhist and Taoist books and felt that these books could not realize his grand ambitions, so he returned to Confucianism , after more than ten years of study, I finally realized that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are complementary and interconnected, and gradually established my own theoretical system."

Speaking of Zhang Zai, all the fans in the live broadcast room couldn't help but think of another outstanding person.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, Zhang Zai seems a bit like Wang Yangming."

"It is."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Both of them are great scholars. Moreover, both of them have created their own theories. Wang Yangming's is the study of mind, while Zhang Zai's is the study of Guan."

"What is Guanxue?"

"The details are a bit complicated. Let me first tell you about Zhang Zai's life."

Jiang Ning continued: "Later, Zhang Zai and Su Shi passed the Jinshi examination together. Because Zhang Zai, like Wang Shao, liked military affairs and was very knowledgeable. Therefore, Zhang Zai, who passed the Jinshi examination, was valued by Shenzong and wanted to recruit Zhang Zai He was promoted to work in the Privy Council. However, Zhang Zai said that he had just been transferred to the capital and did not know much about Wang Anshi's reform, so he refused to accept it. Wang Anshi also wanted Zhang Zai's support. When the two met, Wang Anshi hoped that Zhang Zai would participate in the work of the new law. Among them, Zhang Zai did not fully agree with the reform, so he refused." "Later, Zhang Zai's younger brother, Zhang Jian, clashed with Wang Anshi because he opposed the reform. In the end, Zhang Jian was demoted to the local government. Zhang Zai felt that, His younger brothers were all demoted, and he, the elder brother, might also be demoted. So he resigned from the official position and returned to his hometown to recruit apprentices and open a college. So far, his Guanxue has been widely spread and promoted."

"So, this goes back to what everyone asked just now, what is Zhang Zai's Guanxue specifically?"

towards the camera.

Jiang Ning originally planned to communicate with everyone about Guan Xue.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Ning gave up.

Any knowledge cannot be explained in a few words.

Even Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind seems simple, but it is actually very complex.

There is also Neo-Confucianism developed by the two brothers Cheng Hao, which is also a very complex knowledge.

If you haven’t studied this knowledge for a long time, you really don’t know what it specifically refers to.

and so.

Jiang Ning decided not to talk about it in the end, but then he said: "Once, someone asked Zhang Zai, why do you study and promote Guanxue? It seems that he can neither make you a high official nor make a lot of money for you. You might as well not resign. After all, if you don't resign, the salary from the court will be okay, and you won't be as poor as you are now. Zhang Zai heard about it, thought about it, and said four replies. "

"Which four sentences?"

"Set up your mind for the heaven and the earth, set up your life for the people, set up a legacy for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations."

"Oh my God……"

At first, everyone just listened to Jiang Ning's explanation with great interest.

And suddenly, as soon as these four sentences came out, everyone's eyes widened instantly.

"Holy shit, I'm a little shaken."

"I have some too."

"This this this..."

Although these are only four sentences.

but.

The realm and pattern of these four sentences are extremely high.

"Because Mr. Zhang Zai lives in Hengqu, this sentence is also called Hengqu Four Sentences."

Jiang Ning naturally knows what everyone is thinking.

to be frank.

When Jiang Ning saw these four sentences for the first time, he was also shocked by these four sentences.

He is also constantly examining himself.

Why do you want to be a host?
  I talk about the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi... Why do I talk about them?
  If we go by Mr. Zhang Zai's four sentences, Jiang Ning feels that he is not qualified.

but.

Among these four sentences, Jiang Ning was extremely excited about continuing his unique learning to the saints.

As a porter, can he be regarded as continuing his unique skills for the pilgrimage?

Although this is somewhat overestimating myself.

But Jiang Ning decided that he must be a good porter in the future.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s the inheritance of the holy teachings or not.

The important thing is.

These unique skills must be carried forward.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, thank you."

After Zhang Zai finished speaking, everyone in the live broadcast room showed determination in their eyes.

This is firm.

It was given by Zhang Zai.

Although as Jiang Ning said.

Compared with the great people on the previous list, Zhang Zai is nothing.

He has never been a high official, nor has he had any particularly outstanding political achievements.

At the same time, no one has a specific understanding of what Zhang Zai’s Guan theory is about.

but.

It is enough to know these four sentences from Zhang Zai.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, I am Zheng Qiang, director of Kaifeng Culture and Tourism Administration. Welcome to Kaifeng."

On the high-speed rail.

After Jiang Ning shared the first place in the thousand-year imperial examination with everyone, Jiang Ning quickly arrived in Kaifeng.

Although there is no contact with people on this side of Kaifeng.

But Jiang Ning is a super anchor with 5000 million fans.

What's more, Jiangning was live broadcasting on the high-speed rail just now.

So Jiangning just got off the high-speed rail, and the person in charge from Kaifeng came to pick up the car.

"Director Zheng, you are so polite."

"What did Teacher Jiang Ning say? As a landlord, if you come to Kaifeng and we don't do what landlords should do, it would be outrageous."

After picking Jiang Ning up in the car, Jiang Ning said directly: "Director Zheng, you must not be polite. Let's just send me to Kaifeng Mansion first."

"Kaifeng mansion?"

Zheng Qiang was stunned and said: "Although Kaifeng Mansion is one of our scenic spots in Kaifeng, it is currently only 3A level. I'm afraid..."

"It's 3A now, but it won't be certain in the future."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Director Zheng, do you know Bao Qingtian?"

Can't help but.

Jiang Ning sang a line.

"what?"

Zheng Qiang blinked and didn't understand.

"Uh, it's Bao Zheng."

Jiang Ning did not sing this time, but spoke directly in vernacular.

"Bao Qingtian."

Zheng Qiang thought for a while: "According to historical records, it seems that Bao Zheng once served in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Correct."

Jiang Ning nodded.

It seems that Zheng Qiang's professional level is not bad.

Although it's not particularly powerful, at least I still remember some of it.

of course.

It’s normal not to remember.

After all, the Kaifeng Mansion in this world is completely different from the Kaifeng Mansion in the previous life.

Or.

Actually it's the same.

It's just that the Bao Zheng recorded in this world is different from the Bao Zheng recorded in the previous life.

Or rather.

In fact, the Bao Zheng in this world is the same as the Bao Zheng in the previous life.

But because of the lack of dramatic additions.

Everyone doesn't know much about Bao Zheng, Bao Qingtian... and the like.

after all.

According to official history, Bao Zheng only served in Kaifeng Mansion for two years.

At the same time, look at the official history.

Bao Zheng is not that good at solving cases, nor does he solve cases often. (End of chapter)
