  Chapter 225 Zhu Xia Yi Di Lun

  There are naturally places to stay in Quzhou City. Su Ze and his party had so many people that they had to find two inns to stay.

  The building where Su Ze and others stayed was called "Lanke Building". The name of this building comes from Lanke Mountain outside Quzhou City.

  There is a saying in "Shui Jing Zhu":

  There was once a woodcutter who went into the mountains and saw two boys playing Go. He sat aside and watched. When the game was over, the boy told him that your ax was broken.

  When the woodcutter returned home, he discovered that decades had passed and the mountain was also called Weiqi Genting.

  Now that we have come to Weiqi Genting, we naturally want to taste the local specialties.

  While everyone was settling their luggage, Li Zhi asked his assistant to bring a chessboard and started playing chess with Su Ze.

  [I found the chess room where you can learn the skill "Go". Do you want to learn it? Of course ,

  Su Ze chose to study, and then his Level 1 chess skills were defeated by Li Zhi. A big dragon was trapped and was already dying.

  "Rulin can calculate the movement of the heavenly orbits, but his chess skills are so poor. Haha, it seems that he is not omnipotent in calculations!"

  Su Ze said with a smile: "I once heard a story about a scholar named Ke who came to the mountain to see A dog sat in front of the chessboard. When the scholar saw the dog pick up the chess pieces, he sat down and started playing chess with the dog." "The

  first time he played, the dog didn't land on the gold edge, nor did he fight for the silver corner. He only landed on the middle dollar. The scholar laughed." "

  The next time he played, Ke Sheng was sweating profusely, and his moves became slower."

  "At the end of the game, Ke Sheng's dragon was broken, and he was defeated by the dog." "

  This dog spoke human words, called himself Alpha Dog, and disappeared without a trace."

  Li Zhi I thought this story was incomprehensible, but when I thought that all the Chinese stories written by Su Ze were the same, Xiujiao said,
  "Rulin is comparing himself to a dog? Hahaha."

  Su Ze said with a smile, "I'm afraid he's not as good as a dog!

  " At that time, Lin Deyang came over to report that everyone had packed their luggage.

  Su Ze immediately swept the chess pieces off the chessboard and shouted: "Die, draw!"

  Li Zhi sighed and stood up and said, "Ru Lin is indeed familiar with the art of war. It turned out to be a delaying tactic." [The

  game is interrupted, Go skills +5, Lv1, 5/100]

  In fact, Li Zhi's Go level is only around Lv5. Su Ze is going to buy a set of chess pieces and go on the road. When he gets to Nanjing, he should be able to beat him to death.

  Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong could not wait to go to Quzhou Academy, and the group headed towards the academy in a mighty manner.

  The closer you get to Quzhou Academy, the more scholars wearing Confucian shirts, and you can see the banners hanging high on the academy from a distance.

  "Forbidden Sea Pingwo, this character is written very well!" Li Zhi looked at the flying character flags and couldn't help but comment.

  Everyone also nodded. He could write such large characters at this level, and his calligraphy skills were far beyond ordinary people.

  Li Zhi said with emotion: "If we talk about calligraphy, I'm afraid only Ru Lin can compete with this person."

  Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong looked at Su Ze. They had never seen Su Ze's calligraphy, but they didn't expect Li Zhi to speak so highly of him. high.

  Li Zhi said: "Rulin's calligraphy is like a street paved with rubble, and there are mangosteens hidden in it. It is like a calligraphy and painting. It is truly unique in the world!" "

  This character flag seems to have followed this path, with paintings Entering characters?"

  Sure enough, Zhejiang is also a place where people gather together. Although Fujian's imperial examinations are also good, they are still worse than Jiangsu and Zhejiang in terms of cultural heritage.

  When they arrived at the entrance of the academy, they only saw the mountain gate open. The academy had set up a pergola and straw mats, and many scholars were sitting on the ground. Su Ze and others also felt it was strange. They had never seen such a literary event in Fujian.

  Li Zhi said with some excitement:

  "When I was in the Nanjing Imperial College, I once heard that Mr. Yangming was giving lectures in Quzhou. Scholars throughout Zhejiang were living in cottages next to the Quzhou Academy. Every day Mr. Yangming opened the academy. Everyone is sitting cross-legged on straw mats at the gate and at the entrance of the academy, listening to Mr. Yangming's teachings!"

  Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong both looked yearning, they had never seen such a formation.

  Su Ze thought it was nothing. A popular video in later generations was watched by tens of millions of people. In terms of the spread of ideas in ancient times, it was still far inferior to modern people.

  If this is not enough, it also shows Wang Yangming's personal appeal back then. It is no wonder that the emperor was so afraid of him and did not dare to let him enter the capital.

  A living saint can be said to be a king's nightmare.

  Hearing the foreign accents of Su Ze and others, the scholars around him proudly introduced, "Are you from Fujian?"

  Su Ze nodded, and the young scholar said,

  "You have come at the right time. This literary conference is here. It will only be held during the year of the examination. Are you also going to the two capitals of the north and south to enter prison?"

  Su Ze and others nodded. The young man knew that they were all candidates for examination and said quickly:
  "Fan Congming, the current imperial examination candidate in Quzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang, please give me some advice, brothers. The name of National Taiwan University."

  "Su Ze of Yanping Prefecture in Fujian Province was also elected last year. This is our senior in the examination room. These two are my classmates." After the three revealed their

  names, Fan Congming said enthusiastically: " Brother Su, Brother Li, Brother Huang, Brother Zhao, this academy meeting is not only a gathering of scholars from Zhejiang, but also welcomes scholars from all over the country to come and discuss knowledge and study intensively, in order to inherit the legacy of Mr. Yangming’s lectures. "

  This academy meeting was organized by Xu Wenchang, the tenth son of our Yue Middle School, and he wrote the calligraphy flag." Everyone raised their heads and

  saw the fluttering calligraphy flag again.

  Everyone was impressed by Zhejiang's rich cultural scene, but only Su Ze was thinking about how high a price such a one-foot-long Xu Wei's calligraphy would fetch in future generations.
  Fan Congming was very enthusiastic. His companions had already occupied a seat in the academy. He warmly invited the four of them to squeeze into the academy. This time, the seats were actually near the front. The group of people crowded on the straw mat and looked at the academy. wooden platform in the center.

  The wooden platform was about the height of a person, with two shabby futons placed on it.

  Fan Congming said: "That is the futon that Mr. Yangming sat on when he was giving lectures."

  Even Li Zhi, who is usually the most deviant, straightened his back.

  Su Ze secretly sighed. Sure enough, when a person becomes a saint, everything he uses automatically becomes a holy object.

  At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man with a long beard and a gray gown ascending to the podium. After bowing to everyone, he said: "My Excellency, Xu Wei, I would like to organize
  this literary conference in response to your support. The speaker of this lecture is The theme is 'Forbidden Sea and Peace of Japan'. If you have any suggestions for peace of Japan and Jinghai, you can come on stage and speak freely. If you disagree, you can also come on stage to argue." Everyone applauded. This time, the cultural meeting of Quzhou Academy was

  discussing The issue was a topic of daily discussion for everyone, and it was an important matter related to the family and the country. Everyone felt that they had something to say, so they applauded one after another.

  Although Xu Wei did not win the imperial examination, he had a transcendent status in the hearts of scholars in Zhejiang. Even local officials like Hu Zongxian respected his talent. He sat down on the futon and said:
  "Today, let's start with Xu. Xu has ten strategies for pacifying Japan at Jinghai." Su Ze listened carefully to Xu Wei's ten strategies for pacifying Japan. They were basically similar to what he wrote in the county trial strategy paper, that is, rectifying coastal defense, organizing and training Local team training, strengthening coastal defense, etc. are nothing new to Su Ze, but they are better in all aspects.

  Moreover, Xu Wei is familiar with the geography of Zhejiang and has knowledge of Japanese affairs in various places. The plan he proposed can be said to be watertight.

  The Japanese pirates who could be recruited and surrendered were recruited and appeased, and the internal conflicts of the Japanese pirates were divided and disintegrated.

  Although Xu Wei's method was nothing new, his "Ten Strategies for Conquering the Japanese" was written in the style of a declaration of war. The writing was so inspiring that Su Ze wanted to pick up weapons and rush to the front line to fight the Japanese pirates.

  Sure enough, a good pen can defeat a hundred thousand soldiers. This article alone is enough to unite the scholars in Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese.

  Later, Hu Zongxian should use Xu Wei's plan, basically following his strategy to fight against the Japanese.

  This "Ten Strategies for Combating Japanese Countries" may also be a propaganda article for Hu Zongxian's policy of eradicating Japanese invaders.

  However, since it was a debate at the Literary Society, it was naturally impossible for everyone to agree with Xu Wei's appeal. After a while, a scholar stood up. He squeezed through the crowd and walked onto the high platform. He bowed to Xu Wei again and again, and said: "I am from Shaoxing Prefecture
  . Juren Wu Xiong, at the beginning of the Japanese Rebellion, competed for tribute in Ningbo. The imperial court spent so much money every year to pacify the Japanese, and the people in the southeast were not at peace. It would be better to reopen Ningbo to pay tribute, and the Japanese Rebellion would resolve itself." This statement immediately ignited the powder keg

  , Before Xu Wei could refute, naturally some scholars from Ningbo stood up to oppose.

  The scholar came up to the stage and rebuked loudly:
  "I think it is not allowed to punish people in Ningbo! Since the beginning of the country, the Japanese pirates were allowed to pay tribute, and the Japanese have caused countless troubles in Ningbo, and the Japanese are greedy. Our Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, how can we do it because of this? A mere Japanese pirate surrendered and paid tribute? This case has caused unrest in the sea!"

  Next, Su Ze saw a high-level cultural meeting, which immediately turned into a large-scale online political and offline quarrel.

  Scholars in and around Ningbo all stood up to oppose the reopening of tribute and the Japanese country to pay tribute again, and strongly advocated continuing to resist the Japanese.

  Some scholars who were not from Ningbo supported the reopening of tribute and using the imperial court to pacify the Japanese pirates instead of continuing to use troops to fight wars.

  Su Ze looked at Xu Wei with a smile on his face as he watched everyone quoting scriptures and arguing loudly until his face turned red.

  Look at Xu Wei, who is standing on the edge of the high platform, stroking his beard and watching the debate.

  Su Ze knew that this was also part of Xu Wei's plan. Since the theme of this cultural conference was "Banning the Sea and Pinging the Japanese", it was to publicize Hu Zongxian's next anti-Japanese policy.

  And Xu Wei allowed them to debate, probably in order to make a final decision at the last moment and unify the anti-Japanese thoughts of the entire Zhejiang.

  Sure enough, those who can leave their names in history are not ordinary people. History books speak highly of Xu Wei, thinking that he was the mastermind of Hu Zongxian's pinging of the Japanese.

  Now it seems like this should be the case. Public opinion comes first, and first determines the idea of ​​​​Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war. After this discussion is completed, it would be capitulationism to reopen Ningbo to pay tribute.

  Li Zhi whispered to Su Ze: "Ru Lin, don't you want to go up and say a few words?"

  Li Zhi knew that Su Ze had planned seven strategies for his brother-in-law to defeat the Japanese, and that was why Fang Wanghai was promoted to the top. He knew that he had a stratagem, but he didn't expect that Su Ze Already stood up at this time.

  Fan Congming looked at Su Ze in surprise. He didn't expect that scholars from other provinces would come on stage to debate?

  You must know that those who have just come to power are all famous scholars in Zhejiang. Fan Congming, a new imperial examination candidate, can only listen below.

  Fan Congming said to Huang Maochong beside him: "Is Brother Su famous in Fujian?"

  Huang Maochong smiled and said: "Brother Rulin is the Jie Yuanlang of our department."

  That's it!
  When he heard that Su Ze was Jieyuan, Fan Congming understood that the Jieyuan of a province was the essence of literary talent in the province, so it was normal for Su Ze to want to go on stage to debate.

  But Fan Congming still said: "How is Brother Su's debate level?"

  Huang Maochong thought of Su Ze giving lectures to everyone and debating with Li Zhi, and immediately said: "My eloquence is unparalleled!"

  Fan Congming still said with some worry: "I am from Zhejiang Province. Sergeant has always been very eloquent, I'm afraid Brother Su will suffer a loss."

  Fan Congming only saw Su Ze ascending to the high platform, and his demeanor suddenly changed.

  With the blessing of the golden skill [Eloquence], Su Ze's charm reached 14 points after taking the stage.

  When he was in the audience, Fan Congming only thought that Su Ze was a personable scholar, but as soon as he came on stage, Su Ze's demeanor and demeanor reminded him of those long-famous Confucian scholars.

  Xu Wei also looked at Su Ze in confusion. He had seen all the famous scholars in Zhejiang, so why didn't he know about Su Ze?
  At this moment, Xu Wei seemed to see his teacher Wang Ji, the second generation true successor of the Wang family and the direct disciple of Wang Yangming!

  Su Ze cupped his hands and said, "I am Su Ze, a member of the Yanping Prefecture in Fujian Province. I have met all of you brothers."

  When they heard that Su Ze was from Fujian, the Zhejiang scholars on and off the stage started to make noises.

  Although scholars from Ningbo and non-Ningbo people have just been talking nonsense, Su Ze, a foreigner, what qualifications do you have to speak?
  If Su Ze hadn't been so magnanimous, someone might have booed him.

  But the Ningbo scholar opposite Su Ze felt a lot of pressure when he faced Su Ze. Suddenly someone in the audience shouted: "
  Su Ze, Su Rulin! Is this the man Jie Yuanlang who wrote "The Peony Pavilion"?"

  "That's right. That Su Ze from "Liao Zhai"?"

  Fan Congming said in surprise: "Brother Su is the one who wrote "The Peony Pavilion"? I didn't even think of it for a moment!"

  Huang Maochong asked: "Is "The Peony Pavilion" also sung in Zhejiang? ?"

  Fan Congming said excitedly: "It's not just sung, it's popular all over Zhejiang! Xu Wenchang also praised Brother Su as a famous opera master comparable to Guan Hanqing!" A provincial Jieyuan, a famous opera master, turned Fan Congming into Su Ze in an

  instant fans, many people in the audience also forgot about the differences between regions.

  I only heard Su Ze say: "It is said in "Zuo Zhuan": The illustrious Chu Kingdom came and the king came to it. There were barbarians and they were about to conquer the South China Sea to belong to the Xia." "In the pre-Qin period, without the contributions of the ancestors of the Xia State of Chu

  , , I, Fujian and Zhejiang, are still barbarians."

  This sentence left everyone speechless. Su Ze had blasted Zhejiang and Fujian together, but they were indeed barbarians in the pre-Qin era.

  Xu Wei looked at Su Ze, but didn't know what he meant by his sudden words.

  Su Ze said: "The Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the Xia Dynasty and civilized the barbarians, so that our southern country returned to China and the south of the Yangtze River was free from the troubles of the southern barbarians. The ancestors fought hard to achieve today's territory." "Today there are Japanese pirates in the south and Ida in the north, why not follow suit

  ? The ancestors of the Xia, turned the barbarians into the Xia?"

  The scholars from Ningbo on the scene turned pale when they heard it and said: "Absurd! All the overseas countries are vassal countries registered by Taizu, how can they arbitrarily conquer them?"

  Su Ze said loudly. : "Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals. If the princes use barbarian rituals, they will be barbarians. If barbarians advance into China, they will be barbarians."

  "The Japanese state used the Chinese etiquette to become a vassal, but now it is like a beast invading our Ming sea territory. It has obviously left China and changed its name to Yi Di." "Why shouldn't the Xia invade the Yi Di?" (End of this
