Chapter 8 Preparing Lessons
In fact, He Xi was a little presumptuous.
As mentioned earlier, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Confucianism was at a low point. What is a trough period? This is manifested as a trough period.
No matter what, He Xi underestimated modern education and information collection.
Many ancient books that people see today would never have been seen by the ancients. Not to mention that there are many reference books available today. In terms of broad thinking. Ancient people are far incomparable. But at the same time, the ancients were not without their own advantages.
The ancients had profound knowledge and knew many books by heart.
It is difficult for later generations of scholars to work as hard as ancient scholars.
The same is true for He Xi, in many major cultural frameworks and major nodes. After all, there are many scholars who have done the work, and there are many popular explanations. While many scholars in this era have never figured it out in their entire lives, He Xi figured it out easily. But many subtleties are revealed.
These big frameworks and big nodes are even a lifetime effort for some scholars.
The value is extremely high.
At this moment, He Xi also had some inspiration in his heart.
He comforted Yang Zhen with a few words and asked Yang Zhen to rest.
When he returned to the backyard, Princess Anqing had been waiting for a long time.
When Princess Anqing saw He Xi coming over, she said, "There are a lot of things going on today, and it's hard to describe them all in one sentence." While having dinner with Princess Anqing, He Xi told what happened today. The conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang was not concealed either.
Princess Anqing frowned slightly and said, "Father, it's true. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Princess Anqing quickly changed her identity from the daughter of the Zhu family to the wife of the He family. Thinking wholeheartedly about He Xi.
He Xi said: "It doesn't matter, this is how my father values me."
In essence, He Xi did not resent the pressure Zhu Yuanzhang put on him. After all, He Xi is also fully motivated to change the world. And now he already has an idea. Although some time is short, the problem at hand is not unsolvable. It might even become an instant hit.
Princess Anqing said: "Song Ne plots against you, how are you going to deal with it?"
He Xi said, "Don't worry, just wait and see your husband killing everyone."
Princess Anqing said; "Then, how can I help you."
He Xi thought for a while and said, "Take out all the history books at home and collect information for me."
Books are still very valuable in this era. Among the dowry brought by Princess Anqing, there was a complete set of Twenty-Three Histories and other history books. Even if not, Princess Anqing can borrow it from the palace with just a greeting.
This is enough for He Xi.
Because others summarized it bit by bit from the vast history books and finally came to a conclusion. But He Xi came to the conclusion first, and then went back to find the historical data to prove the conclusion. The difficulty was not of the same order of magnitude. So in three days, I can have an outline.

When He Xi was busy at home.
Song Na was talking with Liu Song.
In fact, there are not many people in the Imperial College. The relationship between them is not bad. But after that day, Liu Song reminded He Xi specially. Liu Song's occupation of the team has been explained. There is a deep gap between Song Neran and Liu Song.
The atmosphere between the two was very delicate.
Liu Song looked at the black and white pieces in front of him, casually placed a handful of chess pieces on the chessboard, and said, "I'm old. I can't do it anymore. Give up."
Song Ne said calmly, "Master Liu always keeps getting stronger. The reason why he lost is because Master Liu didn't focus on playing chess."
Liu Song nodded and said: "Yes. Brother Xi Yin understands it. But, Brother Xi Yin sees it so clearly, why do you need to do such a useless thing?"
Xiyin is Song Ne's nickname.
Song Ne's eyes moved slightly and said, "What is a useless thing?"
Liu Song said, "Our Majesty has never been unable to accomplish anything he wanted to do. He never cared about the price he paid. You didn't see that He Xi came here based on your Majesty's will. What exactly did he do? I can’t figure it out.”
"No matter what. With such a powerful dragon, just stay away. Why would you deliberately embarrass him?"
Song Ne said: "But He Xi asked you to ask me?"
Liu Song said, "Of course not. It's better to resolve enemies than to make them end. If Mr. Xi Yin is interested, I'm willing to make a bridge——"
"No need." Song Ne said: "You also heard what he said that day. He deliberately slandered the saint like this. That's his duty and respect. In the Imperial College, there is me without him, and he without me. I will never tolerate it. Such cancer is a disaster for the world."
Liu Song said: "Don't you think about yourself, but also think about the children? He Xi is still young, and we are all getting old. The future is long."
This is one of the reasons why Liu Song fell in love with He Xi so easily. He would rather deceive the richest man than deceive the poor young man. Not to mention, how can He Xi be called poor when he has such a big backer? As long as nothing unexpected happens, He Xi's future success is destined.
Just make one good connection today. You can repay your family for the next fifty years.
It's just that Liu Song has been in the Imperial College for a long time, and he also knows that Song Ne is not a bad person in essence. Although he has his own values, he is a little extreme. But Liu Song still didn't want to see that He Xi and Song Ne would be injured.
Song Ne said: "Defend the holy way, even if you die, you will have no regrets. There is no need to persuade me, Master Liu. It is useless for you to persuade me. The notice has been posted. In three days, if He Xi dares not set foot in Yilun Hall, it will be a disaster for everyone." The laughingstock of the world.”
Liu Song was stunned for a moment, then he quickly packed up the chess pieces, sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"
------
At this moment, someone posted a piece of paper on one of the walls of the Imperial College. An Imperial College student said: "The new Imperial College Secretary He Xi, Mr. He, will give lectures in Yilun Hall in three days. Students at all levels will receive permission from the teaching assistant." , you can go to Yilun Hall to listen."
Seeing these Imperial College students, there was a lot of discussion.
The showdown between He Xi and Song Ne. Although many students did not see it with their own eyes, it did not prevent them from being well-informed. I have long known about the conflict between He Xi and Song Ne.
For a while, they were talking about it.
"Zi Ning, have you ever heard of what knowledge this Consort He has?" one student asked another student. This brother Zi Ning is Lian Zi Ning. He's a tough guy. Historically, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel during the Jianwen Dynasty. After King Yan entered the capital, he pinned him down in the main hall and he scolded him endlessly. The king of Yan ordered his tongue to be cut, and then he said: I want to imitate the Duke of Zhou and assist him in becoming king. Lian Zining dipped his hand into the blood from his mouth and wrote: "Where is King Cheng?" King Yan was so embarrassed that he killed him in anger. Merge clans and execute them.
Lianzi would rather not know history and his miserable fate in the future. At this moment, he felt a little depressed and said: "I haven't listened, and I'm not interested. Brother Huang, if you are interested, go listen to it yourself."
The person talking to him was none other than Huang Zicheng. Yes, it was Huang Zicheng who suggested to Emperor Jianwen that he advocated the elimination of vassals.
Both of them are Jiangxi Township Party members. At the same time, he also studied in the Imperial College.
From the two of them, we can also see Zhu Yuanzhang's deep meaning. Historically, most of the ministers in the Jianwen and Yongle dynasties were Jinshi in several subjects during the Hongwu period. As mentioned earlier, during the Hongwu period, the Imperial College accounted for a large proportion of the imperial examinations.
If He Xi can capture the Imperial Academy, then one can imagine He Xi's status above the court more than ten years later.
It's just that the secret is unknown to He Xi, who is currently preparing lessons at home.
Huang Zicheng said: "I know you are worried about the imperial examination, but Liu Laoshangshu's face cannot be denied."
Liu Song was very influential among Jiangxi literati and loved to support younger generations. Jiangxi students in the Imperial College were also taken care of by him.
Lian Zining has enough knowledge, and it will be easy for him to become an official through the historical system. But Lian Zining has always had one thought in his mind, nothing else. It means being able to win the title of the Moon Palace. Not only was it about glory, it was also about practicing Zining's political acumen. He estimated that as long as he could get a good rank in his first subject after the resumption of the imperial examination, he would have a bright future.
Just the matter of resuming the imperial examination has never been followed up. How could Lian Zining be happy?
Lian Zining said calmly: "Then just go and listen to it. Those who are rich will support you with money, and those who have no money will have to support you with others."
After hearing this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Lian, you are too unkind."
Lian Zining seemed to regard He Xi as a street performer. However, in Lian Zining's opinion, he was only in his twenties and had never heard of his disciples being famous Confucians or being famous for their talents. Now he dared to come to the Imperial College to give lectures. This courage is no worse than that of a street performer.
