Chapter six hundred and twelve things are getting bigger
Seeing these two disciples like this, Lin Yanchao knew that he had said more seriously just now.
They were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and how could they understand the many conflicts of court officials?
Scholars often think that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world and can use public opinion to appeal. As long as they can reach the heavens, the emperor will listen to the opinions of scholars.
However, in the officialdom under the centralized system, what determines the promotion of officials is not the power below, but the power above. Therefore, Hong Mingqi dares to make trouble and is not afraid of offending others. It depends on Zhang Juzheng's words, and the court can support him.
This is the drawback of the official position.
At this time, Tao Wangling calmed down and said, "But the teacher's current situation is not good. Now, both officials and scholars, both the government and the country think that the teacher has the merit of inheriting the past and opening up the future for Yongjia's learning."
"If the court really ordered the abolition of Yongjia's studies, then Mr. Jinxi would be the teacher's lesson."
Lin Yanchao glanced at Tao Wangling. He did not become an official, so he lacked experience in the officialdom, but he still understood what he saw.
Xu Huobo also said: "Yes, the teacher does not do anything at this moment and may not be able to escape the relationship. Once the court orders to ban Yongjia's learning, the people who are interested in Yongjia's learning will suffer because of their respect for the teacher and then become interested in Yongjia's learning. This will have a great blow to the reputation of the teacher."
Tao Wangling and Xu Huobo were right, and Yongjia’s academic studies were based on Lin Yanchao’s reputation.
Now Hong Mingqi takes the opportunity to retaliate and attack, all scholars who support Yongjiazhixue. However, many scholars who support Yongjiazhixue are surrounded by Lin Yanchao. If this is true, Lin Yanchao will lose the support of scholars, and even lose fame, and even dismissed from office.
Lin Yanchao said to the two disciples: "You are right, why don't you understand, but the time has not arrived, so you should not act rashly."
Tao Wangling and Xu Huobo were slightly disappointed when he saw Lin Yanchao so persistent.
Xu Huobo said in tears: "Teacher, hundreds of scholars were arrested and imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice for supporting Yongjia's studies. How can we remain indifferent?"
After saying that, Xu Huobo bowed to Lin Yanchao and left.
Tao Wangling was silent for a moment and said to Lin Yanchao: "Teacher, if you don't know what you say, I would rather die!"
After saying that, Tao Wangling gave up and left.
Lin Yanchao looked at the angry look of the two disciples and sighed, especially Tao Wangling's words, if I can't do it, I would rather die.
Confucius traveled around the countries, but had no way, so he couldn't help but sigh at his disciples.
A gentleman is an official, and he is a righteous person. If the Tao does not work, he already knows it.
Being an official is to practice morality, but I have long known this. From this sentence, we can see that Confucius was helpless and promoted his propositions throughout his life, but he could not accept them by the world.
In the present, isn’t the study of Yongjia also the moral lies in Lin Yanchao?
If the Yongjia study was banned by the court, it would mean that Lin Yanchao's political proposition was denied. Then Lin Yanchao could only learn from Confucius in this life and lectured among the people, and could not implement his propositions politically.
As for Tao Wangling's words, he said it even more resolutely. If the Tao does not work, I would rather die.
If it is a political proposition that cannot be implemented, it is better to die.
This is the persistence of scholars and the character of Confucian scholars. Just like the mountain leader back then, he would rather commit suicide to show his ambition than compromise.
Lin Yanchao was touched by Tao Wangling's words and couldn't help but think of the past.
I calmly concentrate on my career. With my relationship with the emperor and Shen Shixing, it will be a matter of time before I can enter the cabinet and become the minister in the future.
Promoting doctrines and political ideas is the path taken by sages and sages in ancient and modern times.
Can the two of the career and the promotion of theories be combined into one and not conflict with each other?
At this moment, Beijing Imperial College.
A doctor of Imperial College, two people who were directly speaking walked to the prison, and were dressed like three officials behind the three.
In the past, the Imperial College Prison was very lively, but today it was quiet and empty.
"This is a B-font-size prison, and the supervisor Qu Hengjiang lives here." The doctor and an official
