Chapter 62: The sage and the sage
Wang Fuzhi covered his face with one hand and was brought into the hall. He crawled on the ground and kowtowed three times and nine times. "My servant, the servant, the servant, the servant, the servant, the servant, the emperor, the emperor!"
After performing the ceremony, he lay on the ground, motionless.
"It sounds clear and full of energy when you listen to it." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.
"Flat."
"I am afraid that I dare not see the devil."
"I forgive you for being innocent and be calm."
"Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long
Wang Fuzhi bowed again before he stood up, covered his left cheek with one hand, retreated to Chen Bangyan, and lowered his head slightly.
"And Nong, take your hands away and raise your head." Zhu Youlang ordered.
Wang Fuzhi, whose courtesy name is Ernong.
"Abide by the order."
Wang Fuzhi took his hand away, raised his head, let Zhu Youlang take a look, and then quickly lowered his head.
Ah, a good person!
Zhu Youlang looked at Wang Fuyi's eyes and couldn't help but praise him.
Wang Fuzhi is over 1.75 meters tall, and is about 26 or 27 years old. He has a long face and delicate facial features. He exudes a refined and elegant temperament all over his body. This temperament is unattainable without reading thousands of books, and he is naturally elegant with poetry and literature. Moreover, this kind of elegant character is only seen by Zhu Youlang since he traveled through time, and he couldn't help but love him.
However, a shallow scar on his left cheek made him look broken, which could be seen that it also affected his confidence somewhat.
Zhu Youlang still knows Wang Fuzhi, one of the "three major thinkers" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Wang Fuzhi, whose courtesy name is Ernong, was from Hengzhou, Hunan. He was known as the three major thinkers during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was the master of "simple materialism" in ancient China. He was the East and West Gemini star who was called materialism along with Hegel in the history of philosophy.
The scar on his face was thorned by him. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Hengzhou and recruited local talents. Because he had heard of Wang Fu's reputation for being a virtuous person for a long time, he wanted to summon him to serve him, but Wang Fuzhi refused. So Zhang Xianzhong detained Wang Fuzhi's father, Wang Fuzhi, intending to force Wang Fuzhi to submit. Wang Fuzhi hurt himself and expressed his strong desire to go out. Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to release him back to the dynasty.
In history, Wang Fuzhi did join the Yongli Dynasty and became a pedestrian. However, that happened in April of the first year of Yongli. I don’t know why it was four months earlier.
Could it be that my little wings have changed the course of history? Or do I know that I urgently need the assistance of a wise man and God sent it to you?
Hehe, since you are here, you have to give me some help. Such a great wise man actually became my postman. What a fucking thing!
"Ling Bin, I wrote an order. Wang Fu was willing to take the arrows and stones and went to the dangerous land alone, causing the Sanshui army to stop the horse. He made great contributions. Moreover, I have always had some virtue and talent. I have long heard of it. I was awarded the title of Assistant Lecturer and the attendant Lecturer."
Ah? Eighth level has been upgraded to level 8? This is unheard of.
Not only Chen Bangyan felt incredible, but even Wang Fuzhi himself felt that happiness came too quickly, and the pie that fell from the sky was too big, right?!
"I dare not obey the order! Emperor, although the king has made contributions, his appearance is not upright, so how can he stand in the court? What's more, he is accompanying the emperor?" Chen Bangyan bowed to protest.
"Emperor, I dare not obey the order. The Sanshui army can stop the horse, all depends on the emperor's kindness, and I dare not take credit for it. I will be promoted to the official position without merit, and the promotion is too fast, so I may open the door for the villain to enter. Please think twice." Wang Fuzhi said hurriedly.
"Jiuzhou is angry and relied on the wind and thunder. That is the time to be reborn. Now everything is in trouble. The court is in short supply of talents. I am anxious. I will not judge people by appearance, but rather by the inside and over with appearance. This is my principle of employing people. Even if the court is full of majestic faces, what is the benefit of the country with a fool in the belly? Moreover, farmers are not born ugly. The scars on his face are ironclad evidence that he is unwilling to act with thieves. I promote him in an extraordinary way, which is a model for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Can Lingbin understand my painstaking efforts?" Zhu Youlang said.
"I almost made a mistake." Zhu Youlang secretly wiped his sweat.
He originally wanted to pretend to be awesome and recite a poem by Gong Zizhen. When he said something, he remembered that Gong Zizhen's poem was originally intended to persuade the court to select talents in a non-conspicuous manner, but the second and third sentences were obviously inconsistent with the text, so when he said something, he only recited the first and fourth sentences.
Gong Zizhen's original poem is "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai·Two Hundred and Twenty"
Jiuzhou is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silenced and sad.
I advise the heaven to shake the enemy up and to reduce talents without any restrictions.
Among them, "Thousands of horses are secretly mourning to investigate" means that the subjects in the court and the country are silent after all, and "I advise God to shake it up again" means that I advise the emperor to cheer up again.
Now, no subjects in the court and the country are silent? I am the emperor, so do you still have to persuade me?
"Jiuzhou is angry and relies on the wind and thunder, and is not bound by one's talents..." Chen and Wang chewed these two lines of poetry. Although they felt that the poetry was incoherent and the language was not beautiful, the scene of the wind and thunder in China was stirring and the emergence of heroes appeared in front of them like paintings.
Not only that, these two lines of poetry are the emperor's judgment on the current and future situation, and also convey a broad mind and strong confidence.
Isn’t it consistent with the emperor’s unruly nature of playing cards? The current situation is indeed a shortage of talents, a turbulent situation, and it cannot be selected according to the order, and it is indeed impossible to stick to the rules. It is necessary to reduce talents without any restrictions in order to adapt to the needs of the current development of the situation.
If you judge people by their appearance, your pattern is indeed smaller. If even people like Wang Fuzhi who have scars on their faces can be valued, people in the world will come and vote enthusiastically?
The emperor is not a person with a small structure.
"The emperor has the style of Mengchangjun using people. I will accept me and obey the order!" Chen Bangyan sucked for a long time and finally became convinced.
"The truth is contained in things, not things are contained in principles, and I am also convinced." Wang Fuzhi interpreted Zhu Youlang's profound meaning from a philosophical perspective.
Wang Fuzhi's words actually mean that the emperor did not use his ancestors to achieve the law to select scholars. It was a change in the principle of employing people based on the current situation. This is simple materialism.
"Materials determine consciousness. This understanding is coincidental, both the king and the ministers." Zhu Youlang replied.
"Luckily, we reacted quickly enough." Zhu Youlang was proud of his quick response when he saw the two of them. At the same time, he was very happy to have a materialistic secretary.
"Materials determine consciousness?" Wang Fuzhi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but start to stutter again.
...
Although Zhu Youlang did not take the Sanshui battle to heart, he still asked Zhang Jiayu to send scouts to pay close attention to the Sanshui situation.
