Chapter 14

Xie Kai couldn't help but be startled when he saw that his voice was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle and aunt, what's wrong?"

Gu Chong shook his head and said, "No." It's just that Kai'er, you have also read so many books, do you know that I am Zhaogong Zhao?"

Speaking of the three words "Wen Zhaogong", Gu Chong put down the teacup early, calmed down, and sat upright. On the side, Mrs. Fan stood up and stood with a smile. Xie Kai also hurriedly got up, lowered his hand, and listened to Gu Chongji: "Okay, you can follow the "Record" and "Preparation", according to the style of the character biography, think about it, and say it on the spot." It's better to think of it as an exam. ”

Listening to Gu Chong, he didn't say anything about it, but asked if he knew Wen Zhaogong, Xie Kai was suspicious in his stomach first, and he didn't understand his intentions. But when he heard that he was going to take the test, and he was writing according to the biography of the character, he couldn't help but think of talking about the benefits of reading first, and guessed that Gu Chong was taking advantage of the conversation to take the opportunity to try himself. For a while, the fox was suspicious for seven or eight minutes, and he fixed his mind, and then he coiled the words and sentences in his stomach, and then stood up straight, and said solemnly: "Wenzhao Gongzhang Zhuo, the word Yanchen, the first name is Nian Xuan, and later changed his name to Hui Ting, and the number is Mr. Shan'an." His ancestral home is Changzhou. Emperor Cheng Suihe during the year of Lianzhong Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, the palace test is poor to the example, Emperor Cheng is called "small three yuan", "with Kui Xing", and only 17 years old, famous all over the world. However, when it was unfortunate, Emperor Cheng was deaf in his later years, first believed in eunuchs, and then served as a relative, so that Li Shou, a foreign relative, and Cai Xiang, a foreign relative, were autocratic, arrogant and arrogant, and denounced Qingliu. In the third year of Suihe, the imperial court party was in trouble, and the prime minister Huang Wuxi and the imperial historian Zhou Yuanbo were falsely imprisoned. Zhang Yanchen led thousands of students to write a book to argue, and gathered in front of the palace to ask for his life, and finally made Emperor Cheng pardon Huang and Zhou Er. But the two were not immune to dismissal. Huang Wuxi was invited by Zhang Yanchen to move to Yanling, and accepted Zhang Yanchen under his door. Ten years of dedicated study, the name of the text is conveyed to the Quartet, and the scholars are all right from it. ”

Xie Kai said as he looked at the color of Gu Chong's face with his eyes. Seeing him holding the tea cup, he nodded slowly while listening, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When Xie Kai saw this, his heart was relaxed and his confidence was sufficient, so he simply let out his voice more and more, and said: "After becoming emperor, Emperor Ping was cowardly, and his cousin Cai's dictatorship actually imitated Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty to steal the country; Before his usurpation and subversion, Cai Xiang conspired with Zhang Yanchen's literary name, and asked him to return to the court. Zhang Gongjian resigned, and even wrote "Reading the Biography of Wang Mang" to warn the world. The Cai family hated it deeply, and repeatedly besieged his home. Zhang Gong is proud and fearless, and he would rather die of starvation than serve the thief. Cai's helplessness, and plotted to accuse him of harboring dissent and disobedience, and wanted to impose harm, so the world swordsmen rose. When the Cai family rebelled, he was the first to raise the banner of righteousness, turn the tide, help the fall, punish the usurpation, correct the bloodline, set the capital of Shenjing, and restore the rule of our dynasty: the lord of the world. Emperor Shizu also studied under Huang Xiang when he was a child and a child, and he knew that Zhang Gong's learning, especially Zhang Gong's temperament, so the world was decided, and he invited Zhang Gong to be three. Zhang Gong thanked him, but the ancestor did not allow it, and he was added as the prince and young master; for three years, he added the prince and the Taibao, and Zhang Gong did not take office. After the ancestor, Emperor Ming ascended the throne and added Taifu. Zhang Gongjian did not accept it, closed the museum to thank guests, and devoted himself to writing books and texts to clarify his aspirations. In Yongping, Zhang Gong died of illness and lived sixty-five. Emperor Ming mourned, gave Taifu, and called Wenzhao, so the world is called Zhang Wenzhao. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Zhuo's life had already been finished, Xie Kai had to pause, breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but peek at Gu Chong. Unexpectedly, Gu Chong was also looking at him, his eyes collided, and Xie Kai was startled. Gu Chong couldn't help but laugh, and motioned to the maid: "Get hot water for the young master to drink, use a larger bowl." Xie Kai and Fan couldn't help but be puzzled. After a while, the maid really took a larger tea bowl and filled it with tea. Gu Chongfang smiled and said to Xie Kai: "You drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." After eating all this bowl, let's talk about Wen Zhaogong's article achievements. ”

Only then did Xie Kai know that Gu Chong was making fun of himself, but he also had a bit of sympathy for Gu Nian. So he took the tea bowl with a smile, drank half of it slowly, put down the bowl, cleared his voice, and then said in the previous sentence: "Before Zhang Gong's death, he proofread and published the works of "Five Classics Collection and Interpretation", "Seventeen Shi Shu Justice", "Guang Ya Shu", and "Dialect Notes", and passed on the orthodoxy of Huang's Puxue in Qizhou; And Zhang Gong sorted out his teacher Huang Wuxi's "Mr. Huang Shifang's Anthology" and his own "Shan'an Collection", elegant and upright, poems in Tang law, the text from Song Fan, the introduction of the ancestors since the literary atmosphere, so far. The son of Wen Zhaogong, who not only inherited what his father had learned, but also re-edited the Thirteen Classics in Nanjing Guozijian at the behest of Emperor Ming, collected ancient and modern precepts, established the orthodoxy of the text, and presided over the publication together with Fu Cong, Dai Xuan, etc.; Speaking of this, he finally couldn't help but wonder and asked Gu Chong: "Uncle, since Xie Kai went to school, Master Meng has taught with Kong Shuzhang, why did he suddenly ask again today?"

Gu Chong saw that he finally asked again, sighed in his heart, and only shook his head secretly: he knew that this nephew had been doted on by the two parents since he was a child, and his temperament was the most innocent; Since he said Zhang Hui, he asked him Zhang Wenzhao, and he had already mentioned it. He came out with a few words, describing the affairs of the chapter and the text of the Jinshi, saving the virtuous, rejecting the thief and rebellion, resigning from the official position, and governing the culture, but he said that there was a beginning and an end, and there was nothing to be faulted with; it was a pity that the last question was obviously still unable to understand his own intentions. I also remembered that Xie Kai first said that it was better for him to be close to Zhang Hui, and how much he helped him in his homework, and thought that Xie Kai only regarded him in general as Zhang Hui, and never really used his heart after all; maybe he was really kinder than others in the academy, but it only stopped there--I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. After looking at Xie Kai, he sighed again and said, "Yanling Zhang Wenzhao - your friend Zhang Hui, isn't his ancestral home in Changzhou?"

A sentence suddenly touched Xie Kai, his eyes widened at that time, he looked at Gu Chong blankly, he couldn't speak for a long time, his lips trembled and trembled, and he shook out a few words, and said: "Wen Zhaogong, Yanling Zhang's ...... Could it be that it is his family?" After thinking about it, he couldn't help but say: "But that chapter is back in the academy, and every time he talks about his own family, he is Taoist and learning, but his father and ancestors have never advanced to the school by reading for three generations. ”

Gu Chong nodded and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with what he said. In the past, Duke Wen Zhao was seriously ill, and Emperor Ming sent him to comfort him, just to use the children of the Zhang family. Zhang Gong replied that the emperor's favor was profound, but he regarded himself as not enough to offer his talents, so he repeatedly resigned from the emperor's recruitment; now although his children and nephews are all studying, but his talent is limited, and no one can achieve great success. Therefore, he has already instructed his children and nephews to devote themselves to learning and not to be disturbed by external objects; Wen Zhaogong's deathbed wish, Emperor Ming couldn't bear to obey, so the children of the Zhang family really concentrated on studying, although they entered the field, they did not serve as an official eunuch - Zhang Hui said that "the three generations of fathers and ancestors do not study to enter the body". However, Emperor Ming also issued a decree that year, exempting the descendants of the Zhang family from servitude, and then giving him a thousand hectares of fertile land, so as to help him study; In the past, Confucius was called 'King Su', but now he is a member of the Zhang family without merit and fame, and who can not be respectful? To put it mildly, it is Cheng Yezhi, the head of your academy, and the head of the literary world, and the head of the literary world. ”

Xie Kai was stunned on the spot, and only sighed for a while: "I see! I hate that I have become a pair of eyes and beads, classmates, and classmates for four years, and I don't know how this point comes and goes, and I actually make everyone a fool!"

When he said this, he was very angry. But Gu Chong is so shrewd and experienced, he naturally hears the shame inside, but he just covers it with anger. So Wan Er said to Xie Kai: "I don't know if others regard you as a fool, but what I know about this kid is the same as his father, he is a humble and generous temperament, and he must have a sincere relationship with you." Otherwise, I would not have allowed you to come with him this time. You must know that in recent days, those who want to worship at his door on the occasion of his birthday have been stacked and piled up. ”

Xie Kai didn't seem to hear what he said, so he just said abruptly: "I also see that he is wrong a lot, and he is different from Su Ming, Jiang Cheng, and Shou Dong in the academy. Never flatters and fools, nor does he keep himself high, no matter what, he keeps a nuance. In the past few years, he is the only one who is willing to help me in everything, and he is willing to pull down his face and say me when it is important. No matter how bad I am, I know if others are sincere. I don't think Zhang Huaiying will ever play with each other. It's just that in the end, he can't be fully trusted, let alone a true confidant. ”

Gu Chong saw him drooping his head and talking to himself, and a sense of decadence on his body came out, he couldn't help frowning, and said with a straight face: "How can this be the case? He is also a descendant of Duke Wen Zhao. The entire Mingyang Academy passed on the knowledge of Wen Zhaogong, and in the past, he and Huang Yanxi both had to consider their identities, and it was not good to apprentice at will, which caused confusion among the seniors, and now there are many people in the academy who know about him, and they don't know how many eyes are looking, and where are they willing to intersect with others? You say that he is not sincere, do you want him to jump out and say the foundation of his identity? There is no such reason to act. This is the place where he keeps his manners, and what is there for you not to rejoice, or even to resent?"

Xie Kai hurriedly said: "Where is the nephew not happy? There is no resentment. It's just that when I heard this, I felt a little rushed in my heart, and I felt that I couldn't turn around for a while. ”。
