Zhu Youlang has been very excited recently.

There are three main excitement points:

One is that the new policy was implemented very smoothly after the Guangning case, especially the killing of Li Yongmao and Sun Guonan in an iron-blooded way, which made people see his determination. No one dared to test the law with his own eyes. Although the interests are tempting, they are still not as important as life;

One is that the Women's Liberation Movement was a good start. After Qiao Lala, many women began to go out of their homes. Those who had no skills went to work in workshops, and those who had skills opened their own shops - it seemed that people had become much more enlightened.

Another biggest excitement is that they are preparing to take the imperial edict of the Endowment Department. Students who are preparing to take the Imperial College entrance examination gather in Guangzhou. In addition to provinces such as Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, there are also students from Zhejiang and Nanzhili. Of course, students from these enemy-occupied areas came secretly through various channels.

According to Wang Fuzhi's incomplete statistics, the total number of students actually exceeded one thousand!

Zhu Youlang was unexpected to the fact that so many people came to promote themselves. Although he introduced the new policy, he had no idea how much the blow to scholars was. Although he said it very hard, he was actually uneasy. He always had to rely on scholars to govern the world.

The scholars who have already enjoyed the sweetness, that is, the gentry class, did not intend to rely on them. It was extremely difficult for these people to spit out the meat they had eaten in their mouths, and they were already hated. Do they still want them to understand themselves from the national and national justice? Isn’t that dream?

Therefore, his plan is to cultivate a group of new scholars from the poor people. These people are not vested interests and will probably support themselves from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, this will take time. Without more than five years of hard work, you won’t be able to succeed.

So, he was very surprised that so many people came to take the Imperial College Invite Examination.

Later, he thought about the thoughts of these students, and they could roughly be divided into two categories: one is to truly understand the great significance of canceling the preferential treatment of scholars, that is, they have ideals. There are such people, but there will definitely not be many; the other is to be an official, and what they roughly think is that as long as they become an official, they will have glory and wealth, and social status, and it doesn’t matter whether they are a place or not.

But no matter which category it is, one thing is certain, that is, they have already looked forward to the future of the Yongli Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. If they had not been confident in this, they would not have come to seek an official position.

...

Surprise after surprise.

At the dawn meeting on the sixth day of the fifth month, Zhu Youlang discovered that Qu Shisi was always smiling, which was a little different from his usual serious appearance. He couldn't help but ask: "Qi Tian, ​​what's the good thing? Why did I find that you were laughing all the time?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, I received a letter from my mentor yesterday saying that he was going to settle in Guangzhou. I was happy and expressed my excitement." Qu Shili replied with a smile.

"Ah? Qian Shuzhi is coming to Guangzhou to settle down?!" Huang Zongxi asked anxiously without waiting for Zhu Youlang to say anything.

When Zhu Youlang saw the expression on his face, he was obviously surprised.

"Yes. That's what the teacher said in his letter." Qu Shixi replied with a smile.

"This is a great joy. Your Majesty, Master Qian's arrival in Guangzhou will inevitably bring about a gathering of students in our dynasty and prosperity of literary affairs." Huang Zongxi said to Zhu Youlang excitedly.

"No, Taichong, who is the money sued? Is it worthy of your excitement?" Zhu Youlang didn't understand why Huang Zongxi was so excited. Qu Shixi was in his fifties. How could his teacher have to be seventy years old? A bad old man can make my civil affairs prosper?

"Your Majesty, your teacher's surname is Qian, his name is Qianyi, and his courtesy name is Shuzhi, and he is from Changshu." Qu Shixiu replied quickly.

"Ah! Qian Qianyi? A tree of pear blossoms... overwhelms the crabapple?" Zhu Youlang asked hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, yes, the teacher married a step-wife who was thirty-six years younger than him." Qu Shisi replied unnaturally.

When Zhu Youlang heard that it was Qian Qianyi, he looked back at Gu Yanwu. Seeing that Gu Yanwu's face was also surprised and happy, he thought to himself: "Does Qian Qianyi have such a great influence? Gu Yanwu had a marriage with him, but he was not even opposed to his arrival?"

Zhu Youlang knew something about Qian Qianyi, and the reason why he knew it was naturally due to the memories of later generations.

Later generations did not have a high evaluation of him, mainly because although this man had literary hope, his human nature was too poor. He worked in the four dynasties of Wanli, Tianqi, Chongzhen and Hongguang. He was considered an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, but surrendered after Duoduo conquered Nanjing. You surrendered, just be honest, just be honest, but he was dismissed from office and ordered to live in Suzhou. After that, he might feel that his unfaithfulness in the king and ministers of Nanming would leave a bad reputation in history. In his later years, he actively communicated with the king and ministers of Nanming to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi is a person with relatively complex thoughts and personalities. He has many habits of indulging in late Ming literati, but he always shows a serious face of maintaining traditional morality. He originally regarded himself as a "clean stream", but he was keen on fame and fortune and repeatedly fell into a political whirlpool, leaving behind the stigma of flattering eunuchs and defeating the Qing Dynasty; after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he engaged in anti-Qing activities in an attempt to rebuild his life value in traditional moral concepts.

This result made him scolded him as "the head and rat, and the villain repeatedly" in later generations.

In addition to his reputation, the old guy is best known to the future generations. He married 23-year-old Liu Rushi as his wife when he was fifty-nine years old.

Who is Liu Rushi? That is one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai". Taking prostitutes as concubines can be understood as romantic affairs. Qian Qianyi actually directly designated Liu Rushi's name as his second wife. What made Shilin criticized the most is that his first wife is still there, and he has never passed away, nor has he left!

Just such a person, Qu Shisi, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others, thought he had picked up the treasure? Seeing the expressions of Wu Bing, Chen Zizhuang, Lu Daqi, Chen Bangyan, Yang Qiaoran, etc., they all had bright eyes, and they were obviously very happy.

It's so strange!

"Didn't Qian Qianyi surrender to the Qing Dynasty? Why did you come to Guangzhou?" Zhu Youlang came back to his senses and asked Qu Shili.

"When your Majesty, after his mentor surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was among the enemy. He never thought about this dynasty for a moment. He planned the situation and knew it well. He had a perfect plan. His loyal body and righteousness were overflowing with paper and ink. Your Majesty, please read, this is what the teacher wrote in his letter." Qu Shiqi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Hong. Li Hong turned around and presented it to Zhu Youlang.

When Zhu Youlang looked at it, he wrote it on the paper:

"The human authorities are like playing chess and chess. They can be described as big. Today there are all things, some things, and some things are urgent. Those who are good at chess should see what the situation is urgent and are good at saving them. Now the urgent is urgent. Now the important places in the world must be fought for, but only four places are the Central Plains, the fundamentally free of Jiangnan. Chang, Huai, Bianjing, and all the capitals of Chang, Huai, Bianjing, and the capital will be the capital. Then the imperial eunuchs in the south of Chu will be moved to restore Jing, Xiang, and the Han Dynasty will be striking Wuchang, and the south of the river will be between me. After the Jiangnan, the wealth will be gradually increased, and the fundamentally solidified, then the Jing will be moved to clear the Heshuo. Emperor Gao set up the Jinling, the army will be pointed north, and Emperor Gengshen will escape to the north of the Mo. This is the result of the matter."
