  Chapter 40 Restoring Zhang Juzheng's official title, inspiring!

  The masked men suddenly panicked.

  Xu Guangqi was also shocked.

Whizzing!

   And just when these masked men were about to draw their swords to kill themselves, there were crossbow arrows flying across.

  The masked men fell to the ground on the spot, all of them were shot in the legs, grinning their teeth and enduring the pain, so they could not commit suicide.

  At that time, Xu Guangqi's four bearers were still standing in front of Xu Guangqi.

  Xu Guangqi was even more surprised by this.

   After a while, a man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a burden appeared in front of Xu Guangqi, and said, "Don't be surprised, Qian Xian, we are the secret guards sent by your side."

   "Dark guard?"

  Xu Guangqi was quite curious, he laughed and said, "How do you say that?"

"It was arranged by the uncle Guo who was in charge of Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei set up an additional security department. At present, a group of factory guards and officials have been selected as secret guards to protect the safety of ministers who seek the country like Qian Xian. If it weren't for the factory guards Now that the funds are sufficient, more money will be added to those who are willing to be secret guards, Ding, as the backbone of the factory guard, will not come to do this guard work, how comfortable it is to seize someone from the house!"

"So, please don't worry, with us people here, they are unlikely to hurt you. This time, three of your followers died because the official school has not been arranged to guard in the open. It's just that you will go to Qin Dynasty in the future. Lou Chu Pavilion may be affected, after all, there will be people like us listening to the foot of your bed in secret."

  The man smiled as he spoke, and said, "We will take away your entourage who was killed, and we will take away these masked men as well. You can leave now in a sedan chair!"

"good!"

  Xu Guangqi responded and returned to the sedan chair.

   After taking a look at the man wearing the bamboo hat, the bearers also dispersed, then lifted the sedan chair again and left.

  Xu Guangqi then came to Zhang Gui and told Zhang Gui about it.

   Zhang Gui took a sip of tea after hearing this, and said, "It was arranged by me, and it is also His Majesty's intention!"

  Xu Guangqi thanked him for this.

   "No need."

Zhang Gui waved his hand and said: "I know, you guys voted for me not because of my status as the emperor's relatives, but because I still have the country in my heart, the people, and the ambitions that a scholar should have! After all, a scholar-bureaucrat should be ashamed You want to cling to the powerful, and what you are doing now is partly forced by Liu Yixiu and others in the past, and partly because you want to push me, the uncle of the country, to continue to practice benevolence and kindness on those refugees."

   "The student is indeed convinced by the actions of Uncle Guo in Xishan, it is not a hypocritical act."

  Xu Guangqi replied.

Zhang Gui smiled slightly: "Of course you are not hypocritical, but you, Xu Guangqi, are national scholars, so I naturally want to protect him as national scholars! Besides, reform is not about treating guests to dinner. Many times, you can speculate on those people with the greatest malice , Otherwise, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted. Zhang Jiangling's next scene is an example! This time, I did not do anything wrong. I just suggested that His Majesty set up secret guards to protect you ministers who are willing to innovate. Such despicable things."

   "From the point of view of the disciples, they didn't dare to kill the disciples, they were just intimidating."

  Xu Guangqi replied.

   "Not even threats!"

"However, if they really only use despicable methods such as assassination and intimidation, it would be a good thing. If they really don't follow the rules, they may win or lose. After all, there are still more poor people in the world. Therefore, it can be said that we There must be more people who are not afraid of death than theirs, and they may not be able to afford it."

   Zhang Gui replied.

Xu Guangqi nodded: "What you're saying is that they did this because they were dissatisfied with the student's request to restore Grand Master Zhang's official title. They said that they had the protection of His Majesty and Uncle Guo. Even if they didn't, Wansheng would not be scared. , Tai Shigong once said: "Everyone is mortal, or he is lighter than a feather, or he is heavier than Mount Tai." Just sacrifice your life for righteousness!"

"Although innovation and elimination of disadvantages are more than damage and make up for what is not enough, so it is inevitable to offend the powerful and powerful households in the world, but it must be so decisive. After all, there are many people who are deficient in the world. We must learn to educate the common people, mobilize the common people, and unite the common people. Then our people will become The majority, they are the minority."

When Zhang Gui said this, he said: "So, I have recommended you to Mr. Han Ge as the new governor of Shuntian. You go to Xishan and set up a school to teach the children of common people to read. You don't need to teach them the four books and five classics, just teach them They can read and write, can write and count, and even understand what is a country and what is the difference between Hua and Yi. You Xu Guangqi is proficient in mathematics and science, and you are born in the Imperial Academy, so you should be competent."

  Xu Guangqi was a little surprised, and asked: "Uncle Guo wants to make the people wise?"

Zhang Gui looked at him, "Isn't it strange? Although fooling the people is good for ruling, it is not good for a strong country. What's more, the Ming Dynasty has come to the time when it has to enlighten the people's wisdom. Scholars should be more valuable than the people, at least now is the time to cultivate new gentry to replace the corrupt old gentry.”

   "Uncle Guo has far-sighted plans. In fact, my disciples have already had this intention. Thanks to Uncle Guo's support, my disciples will definitely follow Uncle Guo's orders when the time comes!"

  Xu Guangqi smiled and cupped his hands in a bow.

Zhang Gui looked at Xu Guangqi with a serious face: "Remember! What you want to run is a new type of academy. The purpose is to enlighten the people and strengthen the country, so not only let them have knowledge, but also make them strong and healthy! Become a future able Han Jiaerlang, who will stabilize the country, and guarantee the continuation of the new deal that is about to start."

   "The student understands!"

  Xu Guangqi nodded solemnly, and asked again: "Just, what arrangements will they make after they finish reading? After all, if this is the case, it will not be for career training."

   "Next, the imperial court will set up martial arts to train generals belonging to the imperial court! And other schools designed to train all kinds of talents, they will not learn and will be useless."

   Zhang Gui replied.

  Xu Guangqi, as an official from Hanlin in this era, is not stupid. He quickly understood Zhang Gui's implication, and said with a smile, "No wonder you said that they are the guarantee for the continuation of the New Deal in the future."

   himself advocates practical learning, and Xu Guangqi, who hopes to apply what he has learned, continued to say: "School education should do this, and students can't wait to be received by the imperial decree!"

   "But it's not enough for you and me to think about the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the world. It is also because of this that His Majesty intends to restore the official title to Jiangling, and even conferred the title of earl."

   Zhang Gui asked Xu Guangqi: "Do you think that restoring Zhang Jiangling's official rank will make the world's insightful people know His Majesty's desire for governance and be willing to be ministers of the country?"

  Xu Guangqi said: "Students think that there should be some. The state has supported scholars for two hundred years, and they are not all people who are motivated by interests!"

  Zhang Gui nodded, looked at the rising sun outside the house, and smiled: "Well, there should be, at least this is good news for the Jiangling Zhang family who have been wronged for many years."

  …

   "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: When Zhang Juzheng was in the country, he went to the rich country and the money, and went to An Lishu... Therefore, he restored the official title bestowed in the past, pursued the posthumous posthumous title of Wenzheng, and added the title of Jiangling Bo, so that his descendants can inherit it..."

  After the **** Liu Ruoyu, who came to Jiangling to pay homage to Zhang Juzheng, read out the edict, Zhang Yunxiu, the fifth son of Zhang Juzheng, choked with sobs and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Guozuo, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion who was also ordered to worship, personally helped Zhang Yunxiu up, and said with a smile: "Get up, everyone, from now on, your Zhang family is no longer the family of criminal officials, and the things that were copied in the past have been confiscated. All the properties of the official family will be returned! You should first discuss with the whole family, decide when to worship Jiangling Duke, and then come to the post office and tell the servants and Ritual Superintendent Liu Gonggong, and we will come to worship Jiangling Duke according to the order."

Liu Ruoyu also laughed and said: "As the old man said, this is a decree issued by the procuratorate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Soon, the two capitals and the thirteen provinces will know that Duke Jiangling has resumed his official title. Your Zhang family There is no more crime! You can rest assured! In addition, the emperor gave five thousand taels of silver for sacrifice, and it will be delivered later."

   "Elder Ge and father-in-law have worked hard! Wansheng will follow the instructions."

   Zhang Yunxiu replied, and sent Zhu Guozuo and Liu Ruyu away.

After sending Zhu Guozuo and Liu Ruyu away, Zhang Yunxiu looked at the imperial decree in his hand, trembling as he looked at every word in it. Although it was only official Chinese written in standard Taige style, it seemed that every word was caught The heart and soul of him and his Zhang family.

For a moment, Zhang Yunxiu couldn't help but knelt down, and shouted with tears: "Father! The imperial court has restored your reputation as an official and noble! You also pursued the posthumous posthumous title of Wenzheng and awarded me the honor of the Earl of the Zhang family. You are always alive, so you can feel at ease." ! Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you can rest in peace too! Woohoo!"

   As he spoke, Zhang Yunxiu began to howl.

   Zhang Tongchang and other members of the Zhang clan who were following Zhang Yunxiu also knelt down, sobbing and crying. Zhang Tongchang couldn't help shouting: "It is really Mingjun who is in power, and there is hope for great order in the world!"

  …

   "Jiangling's reinstatement, the holy will is brilliant!"

  Governor Yuan Keli, who went to Denglai to take office, also saw Zhang Juzheng's restoration of official rank in the "Di Bao" at Zhao Yan's place, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  Obviously, the fact that Zhang Gui let Tianqi restore Zhang Juzheng's official title still inspired some scholar-bureaucrats who had a heart to serve the country.

  Zhao Yan also nodded and said: "The public is right, so ZTE is expected!"

  Yuan Keli was talking, and Zhao Yan suddenly asked: "Have you received the letter?"

  Zhao Yan nodded and asked, "You also received it?"

  Yuan Keli nodded.

   Thank you znpmmm for the reward of 500 starting coins
