If this were the case, he would not have been selected. In terms of culture, he further developed the School of Mind, proposed the idea that the mind is the principle, and emphasized the use of the heart to understand the principles of heaven.
Yangming's philosophy of mind later spread abroad, and he gained numerous disciples, including many prominent figures. Some believe he best embodies the Four Lines of Hengqu and is a Confucian sage.
[Finally, there is still a Yangming Street in his hometown of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. Streets are roughly equivalent to the township level in ancient times.]
Wang Hua, the Ming Dynasty's top scholar, stared at the sky curtain in disbelief. Was he the only one to be granted the title of Earl? And would he have many disciples in later generations? And did it also conform to the Four Lines of Hengqu?
Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!
Can he still be called a saint? Is this still his own son? This difference is too big.
The people attending the court were also confused. Is this a saint? He has so many disciples? Why?
Wang Yangming had a dull expression. The introduction on the curtain should have been a summary of his life, but he had just been conferred the title of Earl and there were still many things he had not done.
"I never thought a saint would emerge from my dynasty!" Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao was very happy. "Xinjian Bo, please come to the palace later and explain your philosophy of mind in detail."
……
Zuo Zongtang, ranked second, was a minister in the late Qing Dynasty. He also rose to prominence during the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion and commanded the Chu Army. He rose through the ranks during the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion and was ultimately granted the title of Earl of Kejing.
[Of course, he is not famous for the Taiping Rebellion, because Zeng Guofan, the largest Hunan Army in the fight against the Taiping Rebellion, is not on the list.]
He became famous for carrying his coffin and fighting to the death in Xin Province. At that time, a separatist force backed by Tsarist Russia emerged in Xin Province, attracting Yakub Beg from Central Asia.
The Qing government at the time was unable to suppress the rebellion, and Li Hongzhang even proposed abandoning the new province. However, Zuo Zongtang disagreed and raised his own military funds to enter the new province to quell the rebellion.
In his later years, Zuo Zongtang suppressed the Hui Rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the rebellion in Xinjiang Province. It can be said that he made great contributions to the later development of the country.
Qing Dynasty
Qianlong threw the eggplant-skin sauce-glazed bowl in his hand. From his grandfather Kangxi to his time, it took three generations to pacify the Junggars and the Hezhuo brothers.
How could later generations come up with the idea of giving up the new province? Do they have any brains left? And Li Hongzhang should also be an important official in the court.
How could this be proposed?
During the Tongzhi period
Li Hongzhang snorted heavily. With Tianmu saying this, his reputation was ruined. He expected Zuo Zongtang to be of great use in the future. After all, he was ranked first among Qing officials.
"Sir... let's..."
"Don't worry, there is still a force in the Qing Dynasty, and they will take action against Zuo Zongtang."
Next, let's talk about Zhang Juzheng. He was the prime minister of Emperor Wanli, the emperor who died during his reign. Wanli was only 10 years old when he ascended the throne, so all government affairs fell to Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister.
【And Zhang Juzheng also took part of the responsibility for educating Wanli. 】
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had reached a very dangerous point. During his reign, Zhang Juzheng carried out reforms, implementing the performance evaluation system for all officials and the single whip system for the people.
It can be said that his reforms gave the Ming Dynasty a shot in the arm, allowing it to regain some vitality and laying the foundation for the subsequent victories in the three major expeditions of the Wanli Emperor.
【So he is also known as the Prime Minister who saved the time.】
[However, he was good at planning for the country but not for himself, so he was punished by Emperor Wanli after his death.]
[This is also the basis for later generations' assessment that Wanli was ungrateful, greedy, and lustful.]
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin was drooling as he looked at the three ministers above him. It would be great if these ministers were in the Tang Dynasty. He promised to make good use of them, and by then the territory of the Tang Dynasty would definitely be larger.
If you don’t have three, one will be fine.
