The next to arrive was Zhou Yong, Wu Shixing, Wang Rong, Du Sheng, Shen Meng, and Bao Hu of the West Lake Society, and the six of them did not pull one by one, and they all gathered in Qiantang after receiving the invitation. They have their own opportunities over the years, Wang Rong and Wu Shixing have entered the official career through inspection, but because of their background, most of them are turbid officials in the county, Zhou Yong lectures at home, more than 100 protégés, and is already a well-known Confucianism in the local area, Bao Hu is studying hard behind closed doors, not moved by fame and fortune, and his knowledge is becoming more and more sophisticated, Shen Meng travels around, watching landscapes, seeing the world, reading thousands of books, and traveling thousands of miles, the essence is introverted, and his demeanor is calm, but Du Sheng is still the former teenager, maintaining the innocence and cheerfulness of many years ago, and there is not much change.

After meeting, there is an unusual enthusiasm, but now Xu You and their identities are very different, and the different personalities show different ways of getting along, such as Bao Hu inevitably seems restrained, Zhou Yong feels a little alienated, Wang Rong and Wu Shixing are careful to welcome, Shen Meng talks and laughs as usual, Du Sheng is the most comfortable, and said with a hippie smile: "What does the general have to take care of the little brother?" ”

In fact, he has no intention of career, what care do you want? I just came up and hugged Xu You's neck and shouted Brother, you are doing a good job, this heartfelt kindness made Xu You laugh and said, "I heard that you are going to get married?" Tell me what you need, and don't be polite to me. ”

Du Sheng and the girl of the fellow villager family made a marriage, the two sides know the roots, the temperament is compatible, and the marriage next year is also a blessing, and he is overjoyed, and said: "If the general is willing to take the time to drink a glass of wine, the Han family will definitely feel guilty!" ”

"You and my own brother, how can you not go to get married?" Xu You smiled and agreed, but he knew in his heart that Du Sheng was very measured and would not take his promise to open his mouth, and such friends were at ease and more reliable than others.

arranged the six people in the dormitory of the academy, these were Xu You's confidants at the end of the year, and they were treated differently from others, so he personally set up a banquet to entertain them, and specially invited Yuan Qingqi to accompany them. It is very difficult for Buddhism and Taoism to reconcile, but Confucianism and Taoism are of the same origin and species, and there is no feud between each other, but they can form an alliance first and contact and contact feelings.

Seeing Zuo Shen Yuanjun, Du Sheng's face was flushed with excitement, he stood up and didn't dare to sit down, and only after asking did he know that the Du family believed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and the head of the Du family respected Yuan Qingqi's Taoist powers, and every time he saw him, he was very respectful, and Du Sheng's generation was not qualified to come to the front to talk, let alone sit and drink together like today.

Xu You looked at Yuan Qingqi with a smile, this girl who had never maintained a cold image in front of him, but when facing outsiders, she was a fairy wind bone, and the strong contrast could easily give the person concerned an illusion of pride and a sense of exclusivity. But Xu You's Taoist heart has become subtle, and he will not be as vulgar as ordinary people, but he just thinks it is very interesting, maybe all the lofty in the world comes from self-disguise and the identity role to be played, the emperor has helplessness, the nobles have misery, the Taoist priest has no pure action but wants to compete, and the monks are empty to seek wealth and land, which is the other side that those who look up to can't see.

The banquet lasted for an hour, and Yuan Qingqi was approachable, laughing and laughing, which gave Xu You enough face. Du Sheng was able to get in close contact with the goddess in his mind, and he was so happy that he didn't know the taste of meat, and he drank too much wine miserably, spit directly on his clothes, and was carried down to rest. Wang Rong and Wu Shixing didn't have much enthusiasm for Yuan Qingqi, because they knew the dirty things of the Heavenly Master Dao and the imperial court, and they had just entered the official career, so they were worried about their own future, and if it weren't for the dinner greeted by Xu You, they wouldn't have sat down with Yuan Qingqi at all. As for Zhou Yong's low interest throughout the whole process, Bao Hu was silent, only Shen Meng sensed Xu You's intentions, and always inserted the topic appropriately, quoted scriptures, and commented on the sources and similarities of Confucianism and Taoism very wonderfully.

After the banquet was dismissed, Xu You also stayed in the dining room of the academy, washed up briefly, heard a knock on the door, and sure enough, Zhou Yong pushed the door in, and said sullenly: "Weizhi, did you call us here just to wave the flag and shout for the unity of the three religions?" ”

Xu You smiled: "Yuanhe can see it? ”

"The Buddha has lived in Lingxiu Mountain for more than half a year, it's not a secret, Ning Sai Jiu suddenly appeared in the academy, and condescended to me, no matter how stupid I am, I should guess!" Zhou Yong is not a stupid person, he is really smart, seemingly clumsy, but in fact he is accessible, but he doesn't like to figure out the bad things in people's hearts, indulge in his own world, and not be stained with dust.

Xu You said: "The three religions are unified, and the Xuanji Academy just provides a place where the three religions can coexist peacefully, ask each other questions, debate, learn, and then integrate them." This is a later story, don't be in a hurry, please come, just for the four rhymes! ”

Zhou Yong has not forgotten to vigorously promote the four-tone rhyme when he lectures over the years, but others are soft-spoken, and his influence is limited to one county and one place, and there is not much progress. However, after listening to Xu You's words, all the dissatisfaction was immediately put to the fore, and his excited eyes were almost shining, and he said, "Really? ”

"Am I still deceiving you?" Xu You's eyes were deep, as if he remembered the past, and said in a low voice: "This is the purpose of the establishment of the West Lake Bazi Society, and it is also the dream of Brother Wuke, no matter what, it must be carried out." ”

Zhou Yong nodded heavily and said, "In order not to doubt!" ”

"In order not to doubt!"

Five days later, the Xuanji Academy was officially opened, the ceremony was extremely grand, Yangzhou Thorn History, Dazhongzheng, Zhu surnamed Gate Valve, Zhu Taishou, Zhu Ling, and the small Zhongzheng and well-known literati of each county all came, up and down the mountain, crowded, nearly more than a thousand people.

In the past 30 years, Qiantang has never had such a grand occasion!

Gu Changyong, Zhang Jinglong, Lu Zongzhou and Zhu Ren and other four surnamed sect masters came to congratulate in person, Yu Hao and Liu Ning also sent the most respected disciples to send a lot of gift lists, and the person from the Yuan family was not Yuan Jie, this was to avoid embarrassment after meeting Yuan Qingqi, and it was Yuan Wei who came with the divine dragon. In order to enter Beijing to see Cui Yuanxiu, Xu You asked Yuan Jie for Yuan Wei's recommendation, but he was almost pitted, Yuan Jie said that Yuan Wei's temperament was a little weird, this time I saw a real person, in addition to not smiling, but I didn't find anything weird, wide-sleeved green shirt, white face and long hair, it can be seen that he was handsome and chic when he was young, and he was extraordinary.

Yuan Wei represents the Yuan family, and the Yuan family represents the Confucian sect in the world, so this honorary mountain chief must be given, but with Yuan Wei's talent and learning, being an honorary mountain chief is worthy of the name.

The other honorary mountain chiefs are Yuan Qingqi and Zhu Fazhi, Yuan Qingqi represents the Daomen, and Zhu Fazhi represents the Buddhism, the election of these two people is not unexpected, and the unexpected is the last honorary mountain chief Zu Qi.

Although Zu Xiao is also from a family, but he is mixed in the general as a prison all the year round, in charge of boats, vehicles, weapons, stables, agricultural tools and other strange skills, and the academy such a tall atmosphere is incompatible, many people do not understand, Xu You's explanation is: Zu Xiao is only responsible for the two academies of the Heavenly Scripture and the Jade Calculation, and those who do not like the poor scriptures, or those who do not have the talent for reading, are interested in arithmetic and miscellaneous studies, and can choose to enter these two academies to practice. This seems to be saying that the waste materials that others don't want, Zu Xiao wants them, and the stupid people who can't read can go to learn miscellaneous studies that can't be learned. In fact, the official school of the Zhou Dynasty required students to master the five classics and six arts, and the six arts were etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Numbers are never miscellaneous!

It's just that Dong Zhongshu deposed Confucianism from a hundred schools, and for thousands of years, Confucianism has slowly taken the Four Books and Five Classics as the top grade, and the Six Arts have been reduced to miscellaneous learning.

However, everyone didn't know that the three courtyards of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism together could not compare to the weight of the Heavenly Scripture and the Jade Calculation Academy in Xu You's heart! He wants to pass the Xuanji Academy, and within ten years, he will elevate the Heavenly Scripture Jade Calculation to the status of a prominent scholar, even if he can't override all the learnings, he must go hand in hand!

There was almost no space in the Mingdao Hall, Xu Yougao stood on the podium and began to deliver his first public speech as a mountain chief: "Today, the Xuanji Academy opened, the sky is clear, the wind is harmonious, the sages are complete, the young and the long are salty, the contemptible people are thin and fresh, and they are loved by all the monarchs, and they are elected as the mountain chiefs...... Now that the sea is level, and the literary style has been in the past, some people have asked, are there similarities and differences between Xuanji Academy and other academies? I replied that the academy is a place for teaching and educating people, and it is much the same. The only difference is that Xuanji Academy is no longer the private school of the family gate, retro ceremony, respect for Confucius, study in autumn and summer, hunt in winter and spring, and take education and classlessness as the foundation, whether it is a door valve or a poor family, you can enter the hospital to study. What to learn? To make a speech, make a meritorious service, and establish morality, you need to be determined first: there is a will, there is a promise, there is a guard, and there must be a teacher to learn. Therefore, Xuanji Academy invites Confucianism, great virtues and real people to come to this beautiful place of mountains and rivers, regardless of one religion and Yixia, regardless of the appearance of learning and the end of learning, inclusive, preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts...... Yet, some people ask, how to preach? Zi said: When you enter the country, you can know its teachings; He is also a person, gentle and generous, and "poetry" is also taught; Alienation is far away, and "books" are taught; Broad and easy to be good, "music" is also taught; Clean and subtle, "Yi" also teaches; Frugal and solemn, "Li" also teaches; It is a rhetorical comparison, and "Spring and Autumn" is also taught. Poetry and calligraphy are easy to enjoy the Spring and Autumn Period, although the rich and noble are not easy to their hearts, although they are poor and lowly, they do not move their lines, they are high in learning the ancient scriptures, and they are virtuous in order to save the time, which is the ...... of the Tao"

Xu Youyang sprinkled, quoted scriptures, and comprehensively expounded the core teaching ideas, teaching methods and teaching purposes of Xuanji Academy, with the retro ceremony as the banner and Confucius and Mencius as the backer, quietly tore a small opening in the iron curtain of learning cultural knowledge firmly controlled by the gate valve clan for hundreds of years. The entire Mingdao Hall was silent, some people frowned, some people opened their eyes, some people were excited, some people were in awe, only to hear Xu You Qingyue's voice full of majesty: "Xuan, Dao, machine, change!" The establishment of Xuanji Academy will change the old system, promote the way to Jiangzuo, and want to cultivate extraordinary talents, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open the balance for all generations. ”
