Number one appears

Li Dongyang was by no means a sympathizer of Liu Jin. The reason why he hesitated was precisely because he noticed a factor that was ignored by other ministers-Zhu Houzhao's character.

Jiao Fang's betrayal was just an accidental factor. The reason why Liu Jin succeeded was ultimately due to Zhu Houzhao. This player would not kill his playmate, and the "Eight Tigers" would never sit still and wait to die.

Li Dongyang is a thoughtful person. He thinks carefully and sees farther and more than Liu Jian and Xie Qian. He knows very well that it is not that easy to deal with Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is a terrifying opponent, far more terrifying than imagined. To defeat this powerful enemy, we must wait for a better opportunity.

Yes, now is not the time.

But other officials didn't seem to think so. They deeply regretted the departure of Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and wrote letters to persuade them to stay. The first batch of officials to write included Bo Yanzheng, the censor of the Supervisory Yuan, and Dai Xian, the Nanjing magistrate, and more than 20 people.

, Liu Jin handled this matter very decisively - Tingzhang.

There are more than 20 people with imperial staffs, and each one is beaten with a letter. No one can be missing!

The worst thing was that Dai Mian was killed in Nanjing. He was actually beaten to death. In order to save Dai Mian, many people submitted a second batch of letters. Liu Jin treated these people equally and sentenced them all to imperial rods.

Among this group of people who were spanked, there was a petty official named Wang Shouren. Compared with those who were spanked at the same time, he was not impressive at all. But this time the imperial rod had an extraordinary significance for him.

, this thirty-four-year-old young Beijing official is about to step onto the center stage of history, and his legendary experience begins.

Head of the Martial Arts Selection Department of the Ministry of War, Wang Shouren, a sixth-grade Sesame Officer, will shine unrivaled in the contemporary era and shine through the ages.

legend

In 1905, Japanese Navy Admiral Togo Heihachiro returned to his homeland. As a rare genius general in Japanese military history, he led the Japanese fleet with inferior equipment to completely annihilate the Russian Pacific Fleet and Baltic Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War, becoming a household name in Japan.

.

Due to his outstanding performance in the war, the Japanese Emperor appointed him as the Minister of Naval Command, recalled him to Japan, and held a celebration banquet for him.

At this banquet, facing the praises from everyone in the audience, Togo Heihachiro remained silent. He just took out his badge and showed it to everyone. There were only seven characters on it:

I will bow my head and worship Yangming all my life.

Wang Shouren, also known as Bo'an, also known as Yangming.

In the eighth year of Chenghua (1472), Wang Shouren was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. Those who achieved great success often came from a poor family. At a young age, they had to go to the mountains to chop firewood and go to the sea to fish. There were several sick relatives at home, and they shed tears every day.

This is almost a common practice. Unfortunately, Mr. Wang Shouren's situation is exactly the opposite.

Wang Shouren's family is a well-known big landowner, very wealthy, and he also has a very famous ancestor - Wang Xizhi. I don't know whether this is true, but given the conditions of his family, it would not be surprising.

Most of the ancestors of the Wang family had served as officials. It is said that their ancestor Wang Gang once worked as a follower for Liu Bowen, and he reached the highest level of a fourth-rank official. Although the descendants of the later generations were not close, they were still okay. But when it came to Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua, something happened

change.

In the seventeenth year of Chenghua (1481), ten-year-old Wang Shouren left Zhejiang and moved to Beijing with his family. Because smoke was coming out of his family's grave, his father Wang Hua won the first prize in the exam that year.

Now the Wang family is even more impressive, and Wang Hua's sense of responsibility has also been greatly enhanced. After all, I am a hero and a hero, and he is already the number one scholar. Even if his son cannot be a hero than himself in the future, he cannot be a fool. So he invited many teachers.

Taught Wang Shouren to read.

Ten-year-old Wang Shouren began to read the Four Books and Five Classics. He understood quickly and could draw inferences from one instance. His intelligence surprised even the older gentlemen. However, soon after, the teachers discovered something was wrong.

According to the teachers' reports to Wang Zhuangyuan, Wang Shouren was not a good student and did not sit in the private school. However, he liked to dance with guns and sticks, read military books, and also liked to ask some weird questions and write some inexplicable things. There are poems to prove it:

When the mountain is close to the moon and far away, the moon seems small, so this means that the mountain is larger than the moon.

If a person has eyes as big as the sky, he will see that the mountains are high and the moon is wider.

In the eyes of the gentlemen, this was a ridiculous limerick. After Wang Hua read it, he thought for a long time, called Wang Shouren, and asked him a question:

"Is the study boring?"

Wang Shouren nodded.

"Come with me to go outside the customs."

What Wang Hua meant outside the pass was Juyong Pass. He was keen and felt an indescribable mystery from this poem. He realized for the first time that his son was extraordinary and that his study could not accommodate him. Wang Hua decided

Take him out of isolation to broaden his horizons.

The name of this poem is "Moon-covered Mountain House", written by Wang Shouren, who was twelve years old. This is also his first poem that has been passed down through the ages.

This poem may seem childish in language and has the charm of a limerick, but it is full of mystery. Which is bigger, the mountain or the moon? This twelve-year-old boy used his unique way of thinking and observation to give a plausible answer.

His mode of thinking was called dialectics by later generations.

Wang Hua made an unusual promise. At that time, Juyongguan was no longer what it was in the Zhu Di era. Mongolian cavalry often appeared. It was an extremely risky thing to take his teenage son out of the customs. But after Wang Hua considered it,

, finally fulfilled his promise.

Soon after, he regretted his decision.

Outside Juyong Pass, the young Wang Shouren saw the vast grasslands and deserts for the first time, and appreciated the heroic joy of galloping horses, the great achievements of the Hongwu period, the martial prowess of Yongle, and those past stormy years, which deeply impressed him.

's heart.

A seed began to sprout in his heart.

Wang Hua originally just wanted to take his son out for a walk, but Wang Shouren's next move surprised him.

One day not long after, Wang Shouren went out of his way and solemnly walked to Wang Hua and said to his father seriously:

"I have already written a letter to the emperor. As long as you give me tens of thousands of troops, I am willing to go out of the country to bring peace to the country and bring peace to the Tatars!"

According to research, the speaker, Wang Shouren, was fifteen years old at this time.

Wang Hua was silent. After a long time, he finally woke up from a dream and finally responded.

He was very excited and picked up the book at hand (he couldn't find anyone suitable for it at the moment), and hit Wang Shouren with all his might. While hitting him back, he said:

"I'll make you crazy! I'll make you crazy!"

Mr. Wang Shouren's dream of serving the country for the first time was shattered, but he was not discouraged. Soon after, he had a new life plan, a more ambitious plan.

Wang Hua's intestines were filled with regret. He never imagined that his precious son would really dare to think and do anything.

Maybe after a while, he will forget these stupid thoughts. Wang Hua once thought so naively.

Maybe it's his prayer

It had an effect, and not long after, Wang Shouren came to see him again, this time to admit his mistake.

Wang Shouren said calmly:

"My last idea was unrealistic. Thank you father for your teaching."

Wang Hua was very pleased and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. It's good to have ambitions. As long as you study hard in the future, it's not impossible."

"No need, I won't go to war. Now I have new ambitions."

"Oh, what do you want to do?"

"Be a sage!"

This time Wang Hua did not remain silent, he quickly responded - a loud slap in the face.

It's over, it's over, my reputation will be ruined in the hands of this kid.

Wang Hua finally reached a consensus with the teachers that if he ignored this boy, the whole family would be defeated by him in the future. After careful consideration, he decided to arrange a marriage for his son. He believed that as long as this boy got married, there would be

If my wife takes care of me, I won't do anything outrageous anymore.

Wang Hua was the number one scholar and once served as a lecturer to the emperor. He had a high position. Although Wang Shouren liked to make trouble, the young man was quite handsome (I have seen the portrait and can attest), so after the news that the Wang family was getting married came out, many people

People struggled to apply.

For safety reasons and because he did not want this kid to stay in the capital and cause trouble, Wang Hua chose an official girl from Hongdu (Nanchang), Jiangxi Province, and then called Wang Shouren, who had just turned seventeen, and told him to pack his bags immediately and go.

When you get married in Jiangxi, don’t hang around in front of yourself.

Wang Hua arranged such an arranged marriage for Wang Shouren just to seek peace and quiet, but he did not expect that his move would bring him even greater trouble.

The stunned Wang Shouren was kicked out of his home and ran to Hongdu, Jiangxi Province. Fortunately, he learned etiquette fairly well, and his father-in-law was also very satisfied with him. After going back and forth, the marriage was arranged and the date of the wedding was determined.

This father-in-law probably doesn't go to the capital often and has never heard of Mr. Wang Shouren's deeds, but it doesn't matter, because soon, he will realize how powerful his son-in-law is.

The wedding day has arrived. It is an official wedding and the groom is Wang Zhuangyuan’s son. Naturally, it should be more lively and grand. My father-in-law’s family is very busy. However, when everyone is done and ready to salute, they realize that a key person is missing -

-bridegroom.

This is no joke. Whether or not you get married is another matter. How can you explain to Wang Hua if you lose someone?

The father-in-law was sweating and sent all his men out to search, but no matter how hard they looked, they could not be found. The whole family was so anxious that they even wanted to die. It was not until the next morning that they found themselves in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city.

Everyone was very excited when they found Wang Shouren.

But Wang Shouren, who had been missing for a day, was not excited at all. He looked at the sweaty people in surprise and asked his question:

"What do you want from me?"

It turned out that this brother was wandering around on his wedding day and saw a Taoist temple, so he went in to chat with the Taoist priest. The more he chatted, the more enthusiastic he became, and he began to meditate like a Taoist priest. He did this for a whole day. It was not until someone reminded him that he remembered something happened yesterday.

Do.

In any case, Wang Shouren successfully married, got a wife and started a family. His anecdotes spread throughout Hongdu, and everyone thought he was a weirdo.

Wang Shouren was not a weirdo. Those who laughed at him didn't know that this seemingly weird young man was a man of firm will and a man of his word. The Four Books and Five Classics had already made him tired. He didn't care about being an official in the imperial examination. At the age of seventeen

In this way, he set the only goal for his life - to become a sage.

It’s good to have ideals, but the ideal chosen by Brother Wang is really not very practical. After all, except for a few lunatics who claimed to have achieved this ideal, there were only two or three people recognized by everyone, such as Kong and Meng.
