"Sir, you are back!" The concierge saw it and hurriedly greeted him while announcing, "Your students have been waiting for you!"
"Oh?" The man was a little surprised when he heard this, "Are you too angry? Is something wrong?"
That's right, the student is Taichong, that is, Huang Zongxi, so the official is Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After hearing this, the porter reported again: "It's him. He seems to be restless and his expression is not right."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zongzhou forgot about the troubles in the court, frowned, and asked a little worriedly: "Where are the others?"
Could it be that when those people impeached themselves, this student was also affected?
With this thought in mind, upon hearing the concierge's answer, he immediately hurried to his study.
After a while, we arrived at the courtyard where the study was located.
Liu Zongzhou didn't expect that the study door would be open in such a cold weather.
Perhaps hearing his footsteps, Huang Zongxi immediately appeared at the door of the study, quickly greeted him, and at the same time greeted: "Teacher!"
Liu Zongzhou nodded. Seeing that Huang Zongxi looked haggard, he felt dissatisfied. He turned to look at the steward who had followed him and asked a little dissatisfied: "What's going on? You don't even close the door?"
When the steward heard this and was about to explain, Huang Zongxi said first, "Teacher, it's the student's request and it has nothing to do with Uncle Liu."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Liu Zongzhou turned to look at him, a little strange. Isn't it cold when he opens the door?
Huang Zongxi obviously saw what he was thinking, and explained a little sarcastically: "If you open the door, you can see the teacher back for the first time."
Hearing this, Liu Zongzhou was a little speechless. It was just a short time, so what?
With this in mind, he stepped inside, sat down on the main seat, and then asked, "Taichong, looking like this, it seems like something is wrong with you?"
The steward didn't go in, but closed the door, and there were only two people left in the study.
When Huang Zongxi asked, he hurriedly said to Liu Zongzhou: "Teacher, the student found that there was someone who was very knowledgeable, studied things to gain knowledge, and the knowledge he gained was applied in the world and benefited the country and the people. It is rare in the past. Therefore, the student wants to learn from him. Practical learning that can be applied in the world!"
"Oh?" Liu Zong suddenly became curious after hearing this on Monday.
He himself is a famous Confucian of his generation and belongs to the lineage of Wang Yangming's philosophy. However, he also put forward some of his own views and advocated "sincerity and respect" to remedy the shortcomings of Wang Yangming's "toward conscience" theory. In the late Ming Dynasty, many talented people worshiped his disciples and founded the Jishan School. He advocated the academic style of "seeking truth in everything" and put forward many ideological viewpoints that deviated from Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties.
From a certain aspect, Liu Zongzhou was inclined to the line of practical learning. Therefore, he himself, including his students, are involved in miscellaneous studies and do not discriminate.
At this time, when he heard that Huang Zongxi was so exaggerated, he quickly asked: "Is he really so knowledgeable?"
He still understands himself as a student and never exaggerates when he speaks. However, he still felt a little unbelievable, so he asked.
When Huang Zongxi heard this, he immediately became interested and told Liu Zongzhou what Zhang Mingwei had said.
Needless to say, even if Liu Zongzhou was a famous Confucian of this era, and could even create his own sect, he was still limited by the times. When he heard about the knowledge of later generations, he was no different from Fang Yizhi, and they were all shocked.
It’s really unimaginable that after a folding fan fell on the ground and I started looking at things, I came to such an incredible conclusion!
"Teacher, do you still know?" Huang Zongxi was so excited that he forgot what he came to do, and said to Liu Zongzhou: "He also realized the truth of changing this era from the sound of boiling the kettle!"
Liu Zongzhou couldn't help but open his mouth slightly after hearing this. He boiled the kettle and realized the truth about changing this era?
If he had thought that Huang Zongxi's words were quite realistic before, he felt that this was an exaggeration anyway.
Therefore, he had to lower his face and correct Huang Zongxi: "Taichong, how many times have I told you that you must have a calm temperament in learning, otherwise you will not go far. You have always been good in the past, why are you so impulsive now? Don't be too impulsive, huh?"
When Huang Zongxi heard this, he immediately understood that his teacher didn't believe it and thought he was exaggerating.
So, he quickly defended: "Teacher, it's true. If you don't believe it..."
Having said this, he quickly shouted: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu..."
When Manager Liu heard this, he pushed the door open and looked at the two of them.
Huang Zongxi immediately ordered him to get a kettle to boil water, and especially told him to bring a lid!
Seeing that Liu Zongzhou had no objection, Manager Liu immediately went to do it.
Seeing this, Liu Zongzhou was really a little suspicious. Could it be that there really is so much knowledge in this?
Soon, the experiment in the study began.
At this time, the protagonist in the study was Huang Zongxi. He relayed what he heard before almost with joy. If Zhang Mingwei were here, he would have found that Huang Zongxi relayed it almost word for word.
There is no doubt that Liu Zongzhou was stunned just like Fang Yizhi. It is true that such a conclusion can be obtained from boiling water. If it is really used, it can really change many things at present. It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is an epoch-making knowledge!
Thinking of this, after Huang Zongxi finished speaking, Liu Zongzhou lost the composure of a great scholar, and quickly asked Huang Zongxi: "Who is this, so talented in the world? This man's talent for studying things is truly unprecedented in all dynasties! This is What a blessing to the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Huang Zongxi was about to reply when he suddenly remembered that when he was with Liu Zongzhou before, he heard Liu Zongzhou complain about Zhang Mingwei, and his impression was not particularly good.
When Huang Zongxi thought of this, he was afraid of answering truthfully. What if Liu Zongzhou disagreed? Although based on his understanding of Liu Zongzhou, he should not stop him from studying, but what if?
In this way, he was a little worried about gains and losses.
Looking at Liu Zongzhou with an expectant look on his face, Huang Zongxi replied calmly: "Teacher, you... have you promised the students to worship him as their teacher to learn these knowledge?"
"Well, of course!" Liu Zongyi heard this and said without hesitation, "If such practical knowledge can be realized in the future, it will be much better than fighting in the court every day. To be honest, if not The emperor's kindness is so great that I even want to resign as a teacher. Wouldn't it be better to follow you to do such meaningful things!"
In the original history, Liu Zongzhou was disappointed several times in the court and resigned. This last time, Emperor Chongzhen really had no one, so he went to spread the news that he had left the mountain. As a result, within a few months of being the censor of Zuodu, he was dismissed from his post and reduced his membership in the party struggle.
At this time, Huang Zongxi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that he agreed, and immediately answered his question without any hesitation.
