A few people chatted together, but it was also very lively, at this time, one of Libo's students said: "Two masters, what is Shangli Academy?" ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "Shangli is the name given by the Holy Emperor, in order to commemorate my Ming Dynasty Military Department Shangshu Qitai"

The two students were stunned, they didn't know who it was.

Libo laughed and said: "I'll tell you, you can remember, Qi Tai is very famous in history, Qi Tai's real name is Qi De, the word is Shangli, and he is nicknamed Nantang." In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, he was the first in the Tianxiang test, and became a jinshi in the following year. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, he was promoted to the left squire of the military department. Ming Taizu was dying, Qi Tai summoned Gu Ming to assist the emperor's grandson, and after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he ordered him to participate in national politics with Huang Zicheng, and was soon promoted to the secretary of the military department. ”

"I see, this Shangli Academy is actually his word." The student nodded.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingjing in the first year of Jianwen. Qi Tai asked Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to be a member of the family, to condemn the crime, and to advocate the destruction of Yan. In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Jingshi was lost, and Qi Tai ran to other counties in order to recover. was held by the Yan army in Beijing, and died unyieldingly, causing disaster to the nine clans. ”

"Teacher, I see." After listening to this, the two students couldn't help but be very moved.

"Professor Li is really knowledgeable." Meng Gu smiled.

Libo said: "How dare you, this time I came to Mingguo to help these two students come to Mingguo as exchange students, two good children, very studious." ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "Send two students, how can you work your big driver?" I think it's a private matter, right? ”

Libo laughed and said, "I can't hide your fiery eyes,"

Meng Gu said: "The three of them came at the right time, the so-called beautiful scenery of Chang'an, beautiful, I think there are three must-sees." ”

"Oh? Which three scenes? The three of them were curious.

"Daming Palace is the first, Qujiang Pond is the second, the city is full of ginkgo biloba and red leaves in autumn. You came at the right time to see the beautiful autumn scenery. Meng Gu smiled.

"It's true, on the way to the car. I saw the ginkgo trees, maple trees, and oak trees all over the city, which was so beautiful. The student laughed.

Meng Gu said: "The Ming Kingdom has become one of the countries with the most beautiful autumn leaves in the world along with Japan. This year's tourism period is very long, and many tourists come from all over the world to enjoy the leaves. ”

"Really." The two students said excitedly, in their eyes, what the Ming Kingdom has achieved is as exciting as the achievements of the Heavenly Empire.

"Yes, the autumn in the Ming Kingdom is long, with many maples, beeches, ginkgo, etc., and the leaves turn red and yellow in autumn. It complements the traditional terroir of the beautiful mountains and rivers. At present, the autumn foliage landscape of the Ming Kingdom is roughly divided into fields and gardens, and some of them belong to the natural landscape of the wilderness; The other part is blended with the cultural landscape temples and houses, such as my academy, to form a garden landscape. ”

"When Chief Meng said this, we really want to see it, can you take us to visit the autumn scenery of the academy?" Professor Libo laughed.

Meng Gu said: "What's so difficult about this, three please." ”

The three of them walked out of the lobby and came outside, only to see that many cherry trees were planted in the courtyard and were dormant. However, more Tang maples, Japanese maples, as well as local Yingzhou maples, and beech trees, are dotted around the courtyard and pond of the academy, which are incomparably gorgeous.

Besides. There are also tall deciduous trees, such as birch and ginkgo, whose golden leaves are also particularly beautiful. In the corners, there are also some deciduous shrubs of the Rosaceae, Malvaceae, Rhododendron family, etc. It complements the terroir of the beautiful mountains and rivers and the ancient architecture of the Sui and Tang dynasties in the north and south of the Ming Kingdom.

Like the other temples, martial arts halls, and residences in Chang'an City, the entire academy is rendered in red and yellow, especially the stream that flows through it. It is narrow and has a rushing stream, which is even more attractive in the shadow of the autumn leaves.

"Brother Li, how is this scenery?" Meng Gu asked.

Libo was already deeply intoxicated, "It's so beautiful, I can't go home, I must come to Yingzhou to retire after I retire." ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "This year, the Red Leaves Concert and the Autumn Leaves Festival will be held in Central Park, which is very beautiful. Wait for next year, I hope that Brother Li will come to Mingguo again, and we can watch it together at that time. By the way, there is also a century-old wisteria tree in my academy, which bloomed quite beautifully in June this year, and you must come again next year to ensure that you will never regret it. ”

"My heart is alive, if I can play chess, play music, and read poetry in this scenery, what do I want in this life?" Professor Libo said.

"Teacher, then you can immigrate, with your conditions, there are preferential policies for immigrating to Mingguo." Two students said.

Li Bo smiled: "How can it be so easy, what should the Celestial Empire do?" Whatever? We do not hope that traditional culture will take root in the Ming Kingdom, but that it can be carried forward throughout the Heavenly Dynasty. ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "Your master is determined to be in the world, don't learn from him, you should move." ”

Li Bo said: "Why, what I said is not right, there is more need there." ”

Meng Gu said: "This is a bad statement, only when culture is developed and others see it and think it is good, can it be called culture and can it be assimilated." The Celestial Empire does not have this soil, no one can see it, and they don't know what the tradition is, how can it sprout, let's run the Ming Kingdom well, and it will naturally spread to the Celestial Empire through the Internet, and then everything will fall into place. ”

Li Bo smiled silently, thought about it, changed the topic, and said, "What has Brother Meng Xian been busy with lately?" ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "The Holy Lord has a new political opinion, to restore the Yan Shenggong, and from next year onwards, we will resume the release of the memorial sacrifice Confucius on the Shangding Day in the middle of the spring and autumn every year." Meng is solely responsible for all matters related to the restoration of the system. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing." Libo was so excited that he almost applauded. "Is it to restore the ancient rites?"

"It's an ancient rite."

"What about the Holy Father? As far as I know, there are not many qualified Yan Sheng Gong worlds, but there is one in Duwan. ”

"Don't even think about it"

Li Bo was about to say something, but at this time, a few more guests came to the academy.

"Excuse me, is Monsanto here?"

Meng Gu stepped forward to greet him and said, "I am Meng Gu." Who are you? ”

"Oh, I'm a translator, this is Professor Jang Dong Joon of Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea, Professor Ahn Jae Hwan of the Confucius Institute at Andong National University, and this is Kong Jun Hee, a Korean Confucian scholar."

Meng Gu and Li Bo were stunned for a moment, and they dared to love that they were all people who were very famous in Confucianism in the world.

As soon as Professor Zhang Dongjun came, everyone was a master of Confucianism, so they simply sat together in the small pavilion of the academy, drinking hot tea while enjoying the autumn scenery.

These Koreans were very interested in Mingguo Academy and Chang'an City, and when they drank the first sip of tea, they immediately praised, "Mr. Meng, what kind of tea is this?" ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "This is the Yingzhou Tuanlong Gong Tea given by the emperor, can it still be tasted?" ”

This Zhang Dongjun and Ahn Jae-hwan and others usually love tea as their lives, they have drunk too much tea from the Celestial Empire, and when they drink this tea, they only feel that it tastes good, bitter and sweet, and it is definitely a good tea.

"Good tea, really good tea, we have to buy some to take away when we leave."

"Hehe, this tea is not easy to buy, and even if it is bought, it is very expensive, so let's give you some." Mongok Road.

Everyone sat here, and soon, the Koreans explained their intentions, it turned out that they had read the news that the Ming Kingdom was going to restore the Yansheng Gong system. And this Kong Junxi is a descendant of Confucius.

This Meng Gu and Libo, and even the two students have black lines on their faces, Kong Junxi also brought his family's genealogy, is there any mistake, there is a fart for bringing a genealogy.

Confucius still has descendants in the United States, can anyone come to be the Holy Prince?

Zhang Dongjun said: "We know that Yan Sheng Gong must be a descendant of Confucius, but now, in the world, the descendants of Confucius know very little about Confucianism, and the only one who can be worthy of Yan Sheng Gong is our Korean Kong Jun Xi, he is a great Confucian of the Korean Confucian Society, very powerful." ”

Meng Gu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang said that he laughed, who said that we must use the sages and descendants as the Holy Father?" ”

The three Koreans were completely blinded, and the Yan Shenggong in history were all descendants of Confucius.

Meng Gu said: "Of course not, the position of the Holy Duke of Yan is very important, there is no blood of a saint, but how can a person who is immoral and incompetent live in it?" We are to select the contemporary Confucianism to serve as the Yan Shenggong, and the implementation is held every four years. ”

Everyone present understood that the Ming Kingdom chose Yan Shenggong like the secretary general of an international organization.

There are two main reasons why Zhu Wei wanted to restore Confucianism, the first is the revival of etiquette culture. The second is to let the people of the Ming Kingdom have faith and understand Confucianism such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and orderliness between the young and the old.

Many people think that Confucianism is a great cancer of the Celestial Empire for 5,000 years, but Zhu Wei does not think so, and this is an effective weapon to restore social order and establish a civilized country. Even if you study the ideological and moral character course for a thousand years, it is not as good as studying Confucianism for a year.

Yan Sheng Gong, for the hereditary title of the eldest grandson of Confucius, Han Gaozu 12 years of Confucius 8th grandson as the enshrined monarch, since then Confucius line of the eldest grandson has a hereditary title, until the Song Dynasty, was changed to Yan Sheng Gong.

After thousands of years, until 1935, when he was renamed Yan Shenggong Kong De and became the enshrined official of the Holy Ancestor of Dacheng.

Because of the glory of the ancestor Confucius, the special duke of Yansheng Gong who has been prosperous for generations and has a prominent status has leaned on each other with the imperial court, and has achieved the first Confucian Mansion in the world, which is also breathtaking in the world.

Of course, Zhu Wei can't allow the emergence of a second family of the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that Meng Gu's suggestion was adopted, and everyone in the world of Confucianism can serve as the Yan Shenggong of the Ming Kingdom, which is held every four years and cannot be hereditary.

The news that the Shendu Luoyang City is going to be built has not yet spread, but the matter of the Ming Kingdom to be sealed as a holy prince has already spread. (To be continued......)
