The sun slowly climbed up to the sun, and our little prince was still lazily lying on the bed, kicking off the quilt with his feet, and posing in a big shape on the bed, still without the intention of getting up. There is still a faint water stain on the side of the pillow, which is naturally not tears, but the saliva of our little prince. So it is enough to infer that last night, Duan Zhong must have had a beautiful dream, maybe it was a spring dream.

And now Duan Zhong is naturally awake, but people's inertia tells him that he wants to sleep for a while. So his head was tilted, away from the water stain, and he closed his eyes again and fell asleep. However, I can't sleep anymore, and I have a lot of thoughts in my heart that are constantly harassing me.

And the thing that made Duan Zhong the most irritable was the ...... with the second prince yesterday Showdown. Duan Chong's habit is to keep everything under his control, but this time, Duan Chong is very weak-minded, because he has no idea how much and how much power the second prince has. It's a thing to know about without knowing it.

And what Duan Zhong is most worried about is Ji Wuchang, because Ji Wuchang is his own affairs must not be hidden from the second prince, and although Ji Wuchang's trip to Beijing this time is extremely secretive, it does not mean that his feet have not been revealed. Because Lord Liao Zhangjin, the governor of Jiangnan, was all the way with the second prince, if the second prince mentioned it to Lord Liao a little recently, Duan Chong's plan might collapse completely.

So last night, Duan Zhong urgently ordered someone to send a letter out, asking Ji Wuchang to be careful before he was careful, and the speed of this action was also going to be faster. However, this kind of thing is in a hurry, and can only start step by step, so Duan Zhong almost has the idea of going to Hangzhou by himself.

His thoughts became more and more confused, but the knock on the door rang out inappropriately, and Su'er's voice sounded outside the door: "Little master, it's time to get up." It's too much of a learner! ”

Duan Zhong patted his head, and then remembered that he had promised to go to Taixue to give a lecture a few days ago, and when things were messed up yesterday, he forgot about it. I got up in a hurry, put on my clothes, and washed up under Su'er's service, and then hurried out of the room and came to the hall of the house.

Taixue sent a teaching assistant to greet Duan Chong, but the rest of the students came a lot, and a group of more than ten people came, all to have a glimpse of our Wen Yuanbo's demeanor.

Duan Zhong touched his nose, looked at the assistant teacher in official uniform in front of him, arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, are you in a hurry, let's set off now?" ”

Although this teaching assistant is an official in Taixue, he is really not of high grade, so he naturally has to be more respectful to our little uncle, and bent over and said, "Don't adults need to wear official uniforms?" ”

Duan Zhong smiled: "This may be an oversight in the imperial court, only a set of official clothes from the previous court was sent to me, but it is not the clothes of the official position." The others have never been posted. ”

The teaching assistant smiled: "It's okay, just take one set from Taixue." There are many clothes to be prepared all year round, and since Wen Yuanbo has no clothes, it is okay to take them directly. Many students in Taixue are waiting for the Ph.D. to come and give a lecture. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and wondered if he wanted to hear my speech or see my jokes. But you can't say that, this Taixue is the most pedantic of all the yamen, the composition of the officials, except for a few in charge of the main book, the teachers and doctors are all old and pedant, and there is a sour breath in the bones, if you are flattering, people say that you are hypocritical, if you are not flattering, people will not look down on you.

So this is a bunch of extremely difficult lords to serve, and at this moment, Keng Ding is waiting for himself in a thick subset of scriptures and histories, and his mind is full of prepared some difficult questions, just waiting for our Wen Yuanbo to come. Let's see if this legendary protégé of Scholar Dong is really as tall as rumored, rich in learning, rich in five cars, Yushu in the wind, graceful, and exquisite...... Of course, in addition to the first two adjectives, the rest is the reputation that Duan Zhong added to himself.

——————————————————————————————————

Taixue is located in the western suburbs of Nanjing City, and it is still quite far from the imperial palace and Duan Chong's small courtyard. So the carriage jolted all the way and wandered for a full hour before it finally stopped. On this way, Zhongzhong was not idle, but chatted with the teaching assistant who was sitting on the carriage together and told jokes. So when he got into the carriage, the assistant teacher's feelings for Duan Zhong had reached the point where he was almost ready to make a promise!

After getting out of the carriage, many people came up to greet them, all dressed as students, and these people naturally came over not because they admired Duan Chong, but because they were curious about what kind of apprentices our world-famous scholar Dong could teach, and whether they really had two more arms and two legs than others. And these eyes looking at Duan Chong, in Duan Chong's opinion, are the same as when he went to the zoo to see orangutans in his previous life.

This batch of students are all the children of officials in the DPRK and China, because Taixue has a rule that only officials above the eighth rank of the imperial court are eligible to send their children to Taixue, so many of these Taixue children have a bureaucratic style and look at people with their noses, Duan Zhong still looks down on you even if he is Wen Yuanbo.

But since you have come to Taixue, compliments are naturally unavoidable. The leader is a doctor of Taixue, Huang Zhiping, who is about sixty years old, looks like an old master, and knows that he is an old-fashioned guy at a glance. For such an old pedant, Duan Zhong was naturally prepared: "Dr. Huang, when I was in Dali, I often heard the teacher mention you, saying that you are a very famous scholar in Daliang, and repeatedly told me to visit the doctor when I arrived in Daliang, but Duan Chong was stubborn and never visited, so I was really sorry." ”

This Dr. Huang heard Scholar Dong often mention himself, is this worth it? This is a great honor, for a while, his mouth was crooked with a smile, and the Duan Zhong in his eyes also looked kind and cute.

Duan Zhong was welcomed into Taixue, and someone directly took a pair of lecturers for Duan Chong, and then he was directly embraced into the lecture hall. The official who welcomed Duan Chong's highest position in this Taixue was sacrificial wine, and at the same time held the title of doctor, he was the most virtuous and respected old scholar in the Southern Liang Dynasty, named Bai Yifan, who was the most prestigious scholar in addition to Dong University, and he was also very prestigious in the court, and he was also looking at Duan Chong with a smile at the moment. Of course, this smiling face was actually for Scholar Dong after Duan Chong's death.

The ages of the colleges in Taixue are uneven, some are about the same age as Duan Zhong, and some are middle-aged people in their thirties. But Duan Zhong was only fifteen years old, but he had to give lectures to these people, which was indeed a very troublesome thing. At the back of the lecture hall sat five or six doctors, all clasped their hands to see what shocking words Duan Zhong could say.

So Duan Zhong looked at the pair of eager eyes under the podium and swallowed his saliva. Most of these eager eyes are eager to make a fool of themselves, and only a small half really hope that our Duan Zhong little prince, Wen Yuanbo, can say powerful words that are in line with the status of the closed disciple of Dong University.

So we can't be ashamed. After pacing a few steps, Duan Zhong finally cleared his throat and spoke: "For these subsets of scriptures, I'm actually not interested. My teacher once told me that both writing and history are always moving forward. And these classic books can be compared to giants, and when we read his things, we are equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants. But we can't just stand on the shoulders of giants, because in this way, no matter how high you stand, it is still something that has been seen before, so what we need is to learn from the essence of our predecessors and create something better. Only in this way can future generations continue to stand on our shoulders, can we see things higher and farther than our predecessors, and can history progress instead of stagnating. This is quite a novel remark, if someone else says it, it will naturally be despised, and this remark is naturally nonsense, but with the title of Dong University Scholar, the meaning of this word seems a little unusual.

So a student from the podium asked, "Then how do you stand on the shoulders of the giants you are talking about?" And what new things have been created? ”

Duan Zhong smiled and said, "The teacher has been researching some new things in the past few years. Because the teacher felt that the things of the predecessors were always too old-fashioned and demanding. A few days ago, I painted for His Majesty, and the reason why the painting style is so different from the current painting is also the result of the teacher's teaching! "Wen Yuanbo made two shocking portraits of His Majesty Emperor Wen of Liang above the court, which have long been known to the whole country. There are many copies circulating among the people, and the evaluation of these words is also mixed. But if this is the result of the latest research of Scholar Dong, there must not be so many rumors.

There was silence in the audience for a while, thinking about something, but Duan Chong's words did not stop: "Presumably my junior brother, who is also the current Highness, everyone knows it." My junior brother once recited a poem, which was influenced by the new style of poetry advocated by my teacher. We are now too strict with the rhythm and level of poetry, but poetry is just the expression of personal feelings, and the teacher believes that such an old-fashioned and strict method of writing is no longer suitable for the popularization and promotion of poetry, and is not conducive to the growth of people's wisdom. Therefore, the teacher thought that the format of the poem should be loose and gentle. ”

Duan Zhong then chanted a poem: "Error".

"I walked through the south of the Yangtze River, and the face in the season is like the blossoming of a lotus. The east wind does not come, and the catkins in March do not fly. Your heart is like a little lonely city. Just like the bluestone streets are late. The sound is not sound, the spring curtain in March is not revealed, and your heart is a small window closed. My Dada's hooves are beautiful mistakes. I'm not a returner, I'm a passerby. ”

This is a recopied poem, bearing the name of Xiao Beiping. And this poem has become popular in the south of the Yangtze River, so the gentlemen in Nanjing have also heard of it. Before today, most of the students in this Taixue still sneered at this poem, but at this moment, it was related to Scholar Dong and knew that it was from the mouth of the great prince of our Great Liang, and all the criticism suddenly quieted down.
