In fact, Zhang Jin really didn't mean it.

But...he's used to it.

This is generally the case in military academies, and in order to adapt to that environment, he had to do so.

After all, you have to practice every day, and the time for eating is limited. If you don’t fill your stomach quickly, you will not be able to stand the next exercise.

This is not a matter of elegance or vulgarity.

In addition, after practicing in one day, my body consumed a lot, and I felt like I was paralyzed, and I was hungry. My eyes turned yellow when I saw anything, so I wanted to chew it.

So... when Emperor Tianqi said that everyone would eat, it was like a dog whistle, which immediately awakened Zhang Jin's memory, and the storm was gone.

When he realized that this seemed rude, everyone else looked at him in a daze, but at this time... it was too late.

Since that's the case... then just throw your cheeks away and eat.

The biggest thing I learned in a military academy is that you don’t need to avoid other people’s gazes, but everyone is the same anyway.

What's more, Zhang Jin is really hungry.

In the past, I didn’t feel hungry when I studied at home, but now I’m exhausted and I always feel empty.

He wiped the vegetable oil from the corner of his mouth and finally remembered a little etiquette: "Come on, eat... and eat together..."

“…”

Everyone looked at him with sympathy.

Look, what is the young man in his prime now? How many times have he been hungry? He will not be like this even if he starves to death.

The Imperial College Priest said with a smile: "You eat, you eat..."

The eyes are kind and kind, with kindness, of course, more of deep sympathy.

The other talents realized something and nodded.

In fact, for Wang Shuo, the Imperial College Priest, such a banquet is not about eating.

His Majesty is here at this time, and he is not easy to talk big. But seeing Zhang Jin like this, he can't hold it in a while.

So he smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang used to be gentle and elegant, but now... I'm afraid that he has suffered so much. Alas... Why don't you even give people good food to eat in this military academy?"

He opened up.

The others agreed, and their eyes glanced at Zhang Jingyi at the same time, as if they were criticized.

Zhang Jingyi is a very conscious person and feels that his mouth must not be able to tell them, so he lowered his head and held up his chopsticks...

You have to hurry up... Otherwise, Zhang Jin, the bastard... will make him hungry.

Inadvertently, he saw Li Qiyuan, the Minister of Revenue sitting opposite him. Li Qiyuan was thief-like and looked calm on his face. However, he secretly grabbed a cake and stuffed it into his sleeves, then stroked his beard and smiled when there was nothing to do.

What's going on?

There are all kinds of weird people in this table.

Zhang Jing felt cold in her heart, there was no good banquet.

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi was not angry, Wang Shuo, the Imperial College Priest, began to discuss again: "A gentleman does not seek full food, and does not have anything to live in. If he is greedy for the desires of his mouth, he will become a vulgar. What is the difference between him and the rural villager?"

Another person said: "So I have always warned myself that in life, I can ignore other things, not seek fame and fortune, be ashamed of fame and fortune, only seek diligent study, tireless study, and sincerity, so that I can not be waived by this saint's name."

As soon as you say this, everyone's interest became even stronger, and they became more talkative and talked.

Zhu Youjian, the king of the other table, also listened in a slight manner. When he saw Zhang Jingyi's vulgarity, he listened to their conversations, he suddenly felt interesting. He didn't think these words had any profound meanings on weekdays. After comparing them today, he realized that this was the most reasonable.

In fact, Zhang Jin is familiar with these remarks. He even has a good impression of King Xin Zhu Youjian now, thinking that King Xin is a wise king.

As for the Imperial College Priest Wang Shuo, he was even more a nobleman.

At this time, he was full and sat upright there, motionless.

But when Wang Shuo and others talked about it, they became more and more lively. They were a little lost and began to talk about national affairs. Wang Shuo said: "The way to revitalize is just to implement benevolent government. What is benevolent government? It is necessary to be honest and dedicated to the public, revitalize the administration, open up the way of speech, eliminate the accumulated corruption of the court and the country, and not compete with the people for the benefit of the day..."

The more he said, the more he became more and more excited. To some extent, this was actually what Wang Shuo wanted to say to Emperor Tianqi.

He felt very depressed. Why did His Majesty just follow this and become a saint, but why did he always remain indifferent to it and trust people like Wei Zhongxian or even Zhang Jingyi?

Everyone seemed a little scared after hearing Wang Shuo's words, and went to see Wei Zhongxian carefully.

But when Wei Zhongxian looked cold and said nothing, it was obvious that these words were all for him. What kind of corruption in the government and the people? Isn’t the accumulated corruption in these people just his doing? Why don’t the people fight for the day and the day? Isn’t it just that he sent a large number of eunuchs to collect mining taxes?

But Wei Zhongxian obviously had difficulty in attacking. He has always been good at settled accounts after autumn, and he is still working hard and kind at this time.

King Xin Zhu Youjian seemed to hear the movement here, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, because Wang Shuo's words were exactly what he wanted to say.

He secretly glanced at the emperor brother.

Emperor Tianqi seemed depressed, but he was too lazy to make a sound. On the one hand, he would not let himself fight, and on the other hand, today is a good day for the king to believe in.

When Zhang Jin heard this, his face became slightly strange.

It was clear that in the past, he also liked to say these words.

But today... it was particularly harsh to hear.

He used to respect Wang Shuo, the Imperial College Priest, but from today's perspective, he always felt that his words were biased.

So he pursed his lips and still said nothing.

Wang Shuo also sighed: "When I was in the Imperial College, I often taught the supervisors and scholars to practice and practice, and do their best before they speak..."

When he talked about this, it was actually the most important core of the Donglin School. The so-called practice of self-cultivation and practice, and speaking first, actually continued to Wang Shouren's unity of knowledge and action.

But when Zhang Jin heard this, he became more and more disgusted.

There is nothing wrong with the unity of knowledge and action.

But……

Zhang Jin suddenly spoke: "I practice my own strength and practice it first and then speak, there is nothing wrong with this."

Everyone saw Zhang Jin who had been silent all the time, and suddenly looked at Zhang Jin.

Emperor Tianqi was unhappy when he saw Zhang Jin and was even more displeased. He couldn't help but look unhappy.

King Xin Zhu Youjian showed a look of relief.

However, Zhang Jin's father Zhang Guoji felt a little sad and immediately felt something was wrong.

Zhang Jin said: "But sir, how can we practice our strength and speak first?"

Wang Shuo smiled. In his opinion, Zhang Jin was still the same as Zhang Jin, and he was still humbly asking for advice.

So he said with a blushing face: "Mr. Gu once said: Family, national affairs, and world affairs, isn't this just a way to go first and then talk? This is to let us scholars not talk about our hearts and minds, and not turn the knowledge of the king into Zen. Instead, we should turn this knowledge into the principle of governing the country and pacifying the world, and actively expose the accumulated shortcomings of the court and the country..."

Zhang Jin suddenly realized and was a little confused.

When he heard these words in the past, he was often very excited and thought that this made sense. Scholars cannot sit and discuss the truth. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

But now he shook his head.

This shook his head, which made Wang Shuo stunned: "What, I'm wrong?"

"I don't think this should be the case," Zhang Jin said: "Because students think... in fact, such practical practice has just fallen from one empty talk to another empty talk. We all say that we should work hard to enter the officialdom, practice benevolent government, eliminate the disadvantages, and evaluate the people in the world. Only in this way can it be beneficial to the world and the country. Isn't these things done still empty talk?"

Wang Shuo: “…”

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jin in surprise.

They didn't expect that Zhang Jin would directly refute Wang Shuo.

At this time, King Xin Zhu Youjian suddenly became embarrassed and said quickly: "Drink, drink..."

"No." Emperor Tianqi felt strange at this time, and his eyes suddenly shone, but he said, "Let him say, let him continue talking and watching!"

Emperor Tianqi was quite excited. He suddenly realized that this brother-in-law not only changed externally, but also seemed to... also change inside.

Zhang Jin thought for a while and continued, "How can we easily draw conclusions about the quality of a thing? It is a good thing to judge the people in the world and achieve the responsibility that a scholar and official should have. Mr. Gu's words are very reasonable. But the students think that why are we evaluating the people in the world, or we can decide the quality of a person? Is it because we are more clever? Or is it because... we have learned the principles of saints?"

Wang Shuo was embarrassed for a moment, and what he was embarrassed about was not Zhang Jin's words that embarrass him.

Instead, the famous Donglin student Zhang Jin jumped out to oppose him.

He was immediately angry and blew his beard and stared at him, "This is because we...we..."

"Just talk about managing the river." Zhang Jin did not want to continue to argue with him about the mysterious and mysterious things, but interrupted Wang Shuo on his own and said, "Have you ever built a river? I know what kind of scene is in the river when the river floods? Do you know how much manpower is needed to patrol the river embankment? How to ensure that people can be migrated quickly when the river water is in disaster? But... we only read a few books, only in the study, and discussed a few so-called gains and losses of the so-called rule. We can evaluate the quality of the river management, and we can decide who is good at governing the river and who is not good at it?"

"I used to be... able to talk about river control. I thought I had read many classics and history and knew that river control could be successful and foolproof as long as I was like Dayu. But later I realized that all aspects of the matter involved, and the river control I had imagined before was actually just a joke. I am like this, the prince..."
