Chapter 98 The Yi-zi scroll is in the morning and the dew is waiting for Rixi to be born and enter the world.

"Well, it seems that you have benefited a lot from this trip to Shandong. Tell me more about it." Qi Yongtai's face became much better.

Without letting herself sit down, Feng Ziying could only stand respectfully and talk about her trip to Shandong. She also commented on a few specific details, which made Qi Yongtai nod frequently.

Although Qi Yongtai had roughly known about the civil uprising in his previous letter, the specific process and details were not clear. Feng Ziying also fully demonstrated her eloquence and described the process vividly, which made Qi Yongtai sigh. Feeling very emotional.

Especially when he heard that all the White Lotus believers in Luxi, Lunan and even Beizhili in Shandong were involved in this incident, he sighed even more.

Qi Yongtai was even more shocked when Feng Ziying mentioned that Japanese pirates were also mixed in with ulterior motives.

 It is conceivable that if even the Japanese pirates got involved in the civil unrest in the hinterland, what would it mean?

 It means that after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the Japanese ambitions to plot Korea and even the Great Zhou Dynasty were still not eliminated, which was extremely dangerous.

Qi Yongtai knew very well that this time was no longer the same as it had been seven or eight years ago. The Japanese Rebellion in Renchen had depleted the remaining wealth of the Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that the reason why the Supreme Emperor finally passed the throne to the Emperor was that he was too exhausted mentally and physically in this battle. This led to serious illness, and eventually I felt like I had no energy left.

Now that the Jurchens are becoming more and more powerful outside the Great Wall, they have vaguely surpassed the threat of the Tatars outside the Great Wall and become the greatest danger to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the Japanese are involved again, Qi Yongtai cannot imagine what will happen.

Even if the Japanese don't plot against North Korea as much as they did seven or eight years ago, they only need to harass the wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River, which is enough to bring about the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty.

 Standing up, Qi Yongtai walked around the room.

This room is not big, but it is very simple and elegant. It has a simple desk, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Behind it is a row of wooden grids against the wall. There are several stacks of books. There is almost nothing superfluous in the whole room. ,

There is a large vase next to the book desk, with several calligraphy and painting scrolls inserted in it.

Qi Yongtai took several deep breaths in succession, put one hand on the vase, looked out the window, and remained silent for a long time.

“Ziying, what do you think the Japanese pirates want to do if they sneak into our inland and even mix into the White Lotus Sect?” Qi Yongtai turned around and stared at the other party.

"Not sure. It is very likely that they want to judge how powerful a rebel party like the White Lotus Sect is in our territory. Once they enter North Korea, whether they can use it to provoke a rebellion by the White Lotus Sect to contain us. This is The disciple’s judgment.”

 Feng Ziying has thought about this issue for a long time, and this is the only reason that is barely reliable.

 Qi Yongtai also guessed the same, but this is also more dangerous.

Once the Japanese really connect with the White Lotus Sect, and if the Jurchens, a major threat from outside the country, take the opportunity to cause trouble, then the entire Northland will be in danger.

Qi Yongtai wanted to continue the discussion, but suddenly he thought that the other party was a student who had just entered the academy. How could he treat him as a colleague and talk to him at such an in-depth level?

"Ziying, since you have entered our Qingtan Academy, you must abide by the rules of our academy. Someone will teach you the relevant rules slowly." Qi Yongtai put aside his previous emotion and started to talk formally.

"Maybe you also know that Qingtan Academy is slightly different from other academies. Our academy is relatively simple. When you come to study here, your goals don't have to be too complicated, and you don't have to have too many ideas. It's just a cliche, my understanding. Just learn to understand principles and learn to be a good person. As long as you do these two things, you will be successful in the world!"

Feng Ziying was also touched in her heart. Many literati in this era can both be born in and out of the world. This is exactly the state of many people.

If Qi Yongtai asked a lot of questions before, it shows that Qi Yongtai is still in a worldly state. He is worried about his people when he lives high in the temple, and worries about his king when he is far away from the rivers and lakes. Although he is in Qingtan Academy, he still cares about the political changes of the court, but Now, once he returns to Qingtan Academy, he restrains himself from other things and emphasizes learning his own profession.

"Of course, I also know that I have a more specific goal of studying in the academy, which is to take the imperial examination, but what is the purpose of the scientific examination?" Qi Yongtai said leisurely, "The scientific examination is for the sake of becoming an official. Maybe it’s because many people are eager for quick success, and if they are just here for this purpose, I don’t think this official position will last long, so it’s okay not to do it.”

It seems that he realized that it was inappropriate to say this in front of a new student. Even Qi Yongtai felt that he had been affected by some stimulation and lost his composure. At least it was not appropriate to say this in front of Feng Ziying.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. You go and clean up first. You also have to go to the Guanzhangyuan. He will arrange your specific study matters." It seemed that a lot of thoughts were taken away by the previous conversation. At this time, Qi Yongtai was a little less interested and waved his hand: "Yu Xuan and Zhong Lun are both excellent. You should get in touch with them more, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and learn from each other."

 When Feng Ziying came out, Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong were already waiting impatiently.

They didn’t expect that Feng Ziying would wait for half an hour as soon as he entered.

According to past situations, the mountain chief would end the meeting in at most one stick of incense. There were many such situations in the past. Even if Feng Ziying was special, it would only take twice as long, right? But when they waited until their hair was scorching, there was still no sign, and it was difficult to leave. They really wanted to ask the mountain leader what he said after seeing him for so long.

When Feng Ziying came out, she was still thinking about the tasks, or homework, that Qi Yongtai had given her when she left.

He was asked to sort out what he saw and heard during his trip to Shandong by category. On the one hand, he should describe the specific political conditions and people's sentiments, and on the other hand, he should point out the problems in the government regarding the political conditions and people's conditions.

According to Qi Yongtai, what the students in academies currently lack most are these most intuitive and real concrete situations. They are just studying hard in the academy. It happened that Feng Ziying went to Shandong for 20 days, starting from the beginning. From what the Canal group saw and heard to the civil uprising in Linqing Prefecture in the mid-term, to how the government dealt with it in the later period, and the final result, this is the most appropriate practical analysis lesson.

This question is very big, and Feng Ziying is also a little confused. Is it appropriate for me to ask this question for myself when I am new to the country?

 Is this helping yourself to quickly establish your core position? He really had these feelings for a moment. Is a letter from Qiao Yingjia so powerful?

However, after seeing Qi Yongtai in a distracted state after saying goodbye to him, Feng Ziying knew that she might have thought too much.

This person is probably immersed in the complex impact of the Shandong civil unrest at this time. So the rumors that Qi Yongtai may be coming back are really not groundless.

 It is very easy for civil servants to be dismissed and reinstated in the Zhou Dynasty, especially for those influential officials. Three ups and downs are common occurrences.

As long as someone in the court recommends this person and the emperor believes that this person is indeed available, the imperial edict can be reinstated, and many people may even go further than when they resigned or dismissed after being reinstated.

 So many officials even regard resignation as the best way to raise their hopes, and they have proven successful every time.

I'm afraid Qi Yongtai really feels that it will be of great benefit to the students who are rarely exposed to real social and political conditions in the academy to experience such a real and profound case vividly, and he is the one who started from the beginning. The last participant, so he reluctantly gave this task to himself.

Of course, Feng Ziying also knows that this task is not easy, and it is even too public. If it is done by herself alone, I am afraid that although she will have unlimited glory in the future, she may also become a loner.

His identity was somewhat unpopular to begin with. He didn't want to be isolated in the academy in the future, so he specifically asked Qi Yongtai if he could ask others for help. Qi Yongtai was noncommittal. In Feng Ziying's view, this was acquiescence.

For students in the academy, study is of course the first priority, and passing the scientific examination is the first goal, but to stand out in the academy, perform better, and win the favor of the mountain chief, the head of the academy, and even the court, the same is indispensable.

None of the major academies in Shuntian Prefecture has anything to do with the imperial court. Look at the chiefs of these major academies. Which one is not an official or even a former scholar who has been temporarily dismissed from office?

It can be said that the major academies in Shuntian Prefecture or the academies in Jinling, Nanzhili, are all inextricably linked with the imperial court.

 When students choose to study in these academies, they will also have this consideration. As Qi Yongtai said, how can it be so simple to learn to understand principles and learn to be a human being?

You are sitting in this position and you are already a famous scholar. Of course it doesn't matter, but for students who have nothing, their first goal is to pass the exam and then get a better opportunity and platform.

So gaining a reputation in this academy and winning the attention of important ministers in the court is also a goal of these students. Although this goal is second only to winning the Jinshi in the scientific examination, the two are not contradictory and even complement each other. Inherited.

 Once you win the scientific examination, your reputation and connections in this area will be even more important in your future career.
