Chapter 525 Endorsement
Wang Jiao originally ordered Chen Xi to follow others to talk to him. He would talk to at least two people every time. Chen Xi was not even a deputy, and he would just follow him and talk to him.
Now that Emperor Hongzhi asked Chen Xi to talk about the twenty-one history alone, Chen Xi had the power to wield his own power. Chen Xi did not need to submit any approval for what Chen Xi said, but only kept the file after the lecture. Even Wang Yang could not interfere with Chen Xi's academic content and progress.
As long as it is the content of the twenty-one history, Chen Xi can say it no matter how it is.
Chen Xi is preparing to treat the Twenty-One History as a popular history.
You should know that the Twenty-One Histories are all in the form of biography, and the changes in history cannot be expressed in detail, which is very different from the chronological styles that later studied history. Chen Xi could change this point. He talked about "History of the Song Dynasty" which used a long shot to connect independent events and characters, and there was a main line of "the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty fought with military forces" in it, which included all human affairs.
As long as history is told as a story, history can actually be very vivid, but people in this era are rigid and do not understand this truth.
Even if someone understands it, it is difficult to record history layer by layer through the method of chronology and summarize the narrative.
Let people of this era talk about the actions of a certain person or an emperor in history. They can speak very well, but they ask them how many years apart the two things were separated by and what happened in the middle, which is difficult for them to verify, and even if they say them, they will have many mistakes and omissions.
The history of Chinese chronological style was compiled through the efforts of several generations. In the discipline of history alone, Chen Xi had hundreds of years of advantage than his contemporaries.
Chen Xi didn't know much about the progress of Prince Zhu Houzhao's history. He also had to ask the lecturer who had previously taught the Twenty-One History to discuss the progress, so he could do a case-by-case basis.
In fact, Chen Xi could prepare a case in advance because he was going to talk about the Twenty-One Historian from "Records of the Grand Historian" to "History of Yuan Dynasty" in a popular way, so that the prince knew what happened in the middle, and told him how many emperors did not die, and how many princes had to fight for the throne and sever their brothers' flesh and blood, and in the end they didn't even have to do the emperor.
Of course, Chen Xi cannot express his intentions too clearly, but instead interspersed these things into history. In this way, even if someone doubts his motivation to talk about these history, he can say that I am just telling the twenty-one history according to the history, but there is no intention to scare or mislead the prince.
Xie Yuner is preparing for her return to Tingzhou. When she returns, she not only needs to pack up her own things, but also bring some specialties and gifts from the capital to her family.
Chen Xi could not accompany her to return home, so he could only find a way to buy more for her.
The capital is extremely prosperous, and there are too many products that can be bought, many of which are not visible in remote areas of Tingzhou.
Chen Xi was writing a case on this day, and Xie Pi came to visit again. Unlike the last time he brought Xie Hengnu out, he came alone this time.
This time, Xie Pi did not invite Chen Xi to attend a literary meeting, but came to Chen Xi to ask about theoretical knowledge about "mind learning".
"... The students have heard of Chen Hanlin's great ideas. After returning, they tossed and turned and studied for a long time, but still failed to understand the profound meaning. The students came to ask for advice, but I wonder if Chen Hanlin could give him advice?"
Chen Xi knew that Xie Pilai was not just for teaching, but for finding opportunities to get close to him.
Originally, a young man from the hometown, there was no need to get too close to a new Hanlin like Chen Xi, but perhaps Xie Pi really admired Chen Xi's talent and got stuck after the first meeting. Last time he came to ask about the authenticity of the painting, but this time he simply used the excuse of asking about the teaching.
Chen Xidao: "The theory mentioned below conflicts with Neo-Confucianism. Isn't Brother Xie afraid that after learning it, it will hinder the path of the imperial examination?"
Xie Pi smiled and said, "You must be strict in your family. You must be knowledgeable and widely adopted in your studies. You cannot just listen to your family's words. The students come to ask for advice because they think Chen Hanlin's words are reasonable."
"Isn't it a natural thing to discuss unknown knowledge?"
Xie Pi may have been influenced by Xie Qian, and was very open-minded in his mind and was able to quickly adopt and absorb new knowledge and knowledge, which is also related to his background.
I think he is a young master of the court, and he is highly expected. He does not have to look forward to his studies. Instead, scholars from poor families must cater to the trend of the times in order to enter the school and cannot innovate.
Therefore, to learn and make words for the heart, it is best to open a breakthrough from the upper class scholars. Only when this kind of thought is accommodated by society can the middle and lower class scholars begin to think and accept it.
Chen Xi suddenly realized this and suddenly realized that Xie Pi may be the "spokesperson" he needed to make his own statement. No matter what new proposals he had, he could actually let Xie Pi spread it widely for him, let Xie Pi discuss the content of the study of the mind with the upper class scholars from aristocratic families around him, and then let more people know that such a theory is being formed.
However, Xie Pi and others are currently only at the level of student and cannot cause a sensation in society. If a group of Hanlin people gather together to discuss the study of mind, or even the entire Confucian community in the capital should pay attention to it.
If you don’t try, how can you know whether it will succeed or not?
Chen Xidao: "I read Zhu Zi's work again recently. I have thoughts and compiled some simple opinions. I am willing to share and discuss with Brother Xie."
Chen Xi did not live in front of Xie Pi. In terms of age and future, this old master's son is quite extraordinary and older than him. He needs Xie Pi to make a statement for him, so he must make good use of this unintentional jade that is currently very "naive".
If Xie Pi had polished himself in society for a few more years, he would become as cunning as his father and could not count on him to do things for himself.
Xie Pi did not doubt it. He was quite happy to be appreciated by Chen Xi.
This kind of joy comes largely from vanity.
Chen Xi has a high reputation among young scholars. Others are full of envy, jealousy and hatred for Chen Xi, but they have to admire Chen Xi for his youth and promisingness.
Look, I am the son of Ge Lao Xie. I am so close to Zhuangzi Lang. Can you do it?
Chen Xi had sorted out some content on psychology before, and the temporary records were recorded, which was enough for Xie Pi to take it back and digest it for a while.
Most of these contents are from Wang Shouren's "Cultural Records" and many of them are summarized by later generations. In conjunction with Chen Xi's own understanding, they are more complete than the original system of mind learning.
"Students will definitely study it carefully when they take it back."
Xie Pi was overjoyed to receive the theory given by Chen Xi. In fact, as an ambitious young man, he could feel the profoundness of Chen Xi's theory. It was like Chen Xi's first time taking out the theory of mind to take the college entrance examination. Even Liu Bing, who was born in Neo-Confucianism, was amazed at the knowledge contained in the article and admitted Chen Xi.
Social enlightenment is more conducive to Chen Xi's statement.
After Chen Xi sent Xie Pi away, he thought to himself, if Xie Qian knew that his son was being used like this, would he come and make trouble for him?
However, Xie Qian used me to help you in the court, and I used your son to help me make a statement in private. Everyone treated each other as equals.
On September 19th, Chen Xi told the prince twenty-one history for the first time. On this day, Chen Xi took his case and went to the back of Wenhua Hall with his attendants, but the prince did not arrive.
Perhaps Chen Xi came a little earlier, and the prince liked to play at night and usually got up very late in the morning.
It was not until midnight that Zhu Houzhao arrived at Wenhua Palace accompanied by Liu Jin and others. When he saw Chen Xi, Zhu Houzhao yawned and said, "It's you again?"
After sitting down, Zhu Houzhao said a little dissatisfied, "Last time you told me that there is Kuroshi that can fight each other. I asked people that Kuroshi is a cricket that yells at night. I caught two of them and didn't even touch them. You are just talking nonsense!"
Chen Xi smiled. It was obvious that Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to fight crickets. Even if the two crickets were put together, they would still use grass and small wooden sticks to provoke them. He couldn't help but look at Liu Jin. Even if the prince didn't understand, how could Liu Jin not understand? Liu Jin offered countless things that were devastated in the future. It was just that Emperor Hongzhi was very concerned about the prince's studies at the moment, and Liu Jin didn't dare to teach.
Chen Xi made a surprised expression and praised: "What I know is, but what I have obtained from the books, it seems that I cannot believe it. It is admirable for the prince to remove the false and retain the truth."
Zhu Houzhao waved her hand: "Okay, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. What are you talking about today?"
He is not very big, but has a big temper.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao sat crossing her legs, without the appearance of a prince, and that is, the emperor had only such a son, and he was deeply indulged in him, which made him lack the good cultivation that the royal family should have since childhood.
Chen Xi opened the case and said, "What I am talking about today is an allusion from the Sui and Tang Dynasties."
Zhu Houzhao glared and didn't understand it very much. Liu Jin next to him immediately asked, "Mr. Shen, you want to explain clearly whether it is "Sui Book" or "Tang Book"? It is impossible to teach the prince's knowledge at all."
In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "Book of Tang" was compiled by Ouyang Xiu and others by the edict issued by Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.
Among the twenty-four histories, the "Book of Sui" and "New Book of Tang" have very high status, because Wei Zheng and others compiled the "Book of Sui" and there were many famous scholars such as Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, and Fan Zhen. The literary attainments of these two books are quite high.
Moreover, the Sui and Tang dynasties were the peak of the Ming Dynasty in China. They once created a prosperous era when dynasties from all over the world, and were therefore praised by historians in later generations.
But what Chen Xi said was not the content in "Book of Sui" and "New Book of Tang", but a history of the Sui and Tang dynasties that was adapted by him and had a chronological nature.
Chen Xi did not answer Liu Jin, but started his lecture directly, starting with "Yang Jian's behalf as the Sui Dynasty", which said that Emperor Jing of Zhou became emperor at the age of six, and Yang Jian was the chief minister of the regent, and as the minister of the regent, he was forced to abdicate to Yang Jian when Emperor Jing was eight years old.
After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he found someone to kill Emperor Zhou Jing, and the Sui Dynasty began.
Yang Jian was also considered a wise lord, but his descendants fought for the throne, and Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, causing trouble to the people for war and the construction of canals. The world was full of chaos, and the Sui Dynasty ended for three lifetimes, and the young emperor was forced to abdicate.
Several emperors were unable to die well, which made Zhu Houzhao look tight when he heard this.
