Chapter Seventy-Five: Kong Anguo's Ambition
Kong Anguo and Tang Du are not far from where they live.
Zhang Yuan followed Sima Tan to meet Tang Du first, Tang Du was thinking that he could rub the books in Tianlu Pavilion, but it was just a place for the royal book collection, and he couldn't get in.
Now that Zhang Yuan gave him such a good opportunity, he accepted it gladly at once.
Tang Du's age is not very big, just a little older than Sima Tan, and when he learned that Zhang Yuan was going to invite Kong Anguo, Tang Du was not hypocritical, so he began to pack his luggage, saying that he would go to Taixue tomorrow to report.
In this way, Zhang Yuan directly solved the lecturer of mathematics and astronomy.
Immediately afterwards, the two rushed to Kong Anguo's residence, in fact, this place was Sima Tan's residence, but Sima Qian was studying with Kong Anguo, and Kong Anguo had no place to live in Chang'an City, so he temporarily borrowed this place first.
When Zhang Yuan saw Sima Qian for the first time, he didn't find anything surprising, just a young man who was a little over ten years old.
Because at this time, the food of people is not very good, Sima Tan is also more frugal, Sima Qian's height is not very high, only to his father's shoulders.
And Kong Anguo is much younger than Zhang Yuan imagined, this descendant of Confucius does seem to have a little more elegant temperament than others.
Speaking is also slow and logical, which makes people feel very comfortable, but when Zhang Yuan mentioned that he wanted him to teach in Taixue, there was an unexpected change.
"Taixue Ling is here to please go down to Taixue?"
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"Mr. Kong is a descendant of Confucius, and his knowledge is unparalleled, and he went to Taixue to teach and pass on what he learned to the world, which is also to inherit the concept of Confucius."
Kong Anguo has always kept smiling, which makes people angry.
"Taixue Ling said above the court meeting that it is to continue to learn from the saints, which is also what An Guo thinks in his heart.
But who was the person at that time who really possessed the mastery of a saint? ”
"The mastery of the saints is passed down in the scriptures, and as long as the people of the world study it seriously, they will continue to learn it for the sake of the saints."
Kong Anguo shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't agree with what Zhang Yuan said.
"Taixue Ling really thinks that the scriptures of the world are what the saints think and think?"
Zhang Yuan was skeptical, but he also knew that most of the current Confucian classics were dictated, and then later generations recorded them on bamboo slips according to their own intentions, and finally compiled them into books.
Looking at Kong Anguo like this, coupled with his identity as a descendant of the Kong family, it is not difficult to guess that Kong Anguo may really have a real guy in his hands.
This real guy naturally refers to the classics left behind by the real Confucius.
"Could it be that the classics in Mr. Kong's house are different from those that have been circulated in the world?"
Kong Anguo smiled and didn't speak, which deepened the affirmation in Zhang Yuan's heart more and more.
These people carry treasures one by one, and they don't want to take them out for others to learn from, and they claim to be descendants of Confucius, but they don't have the slightest trace of Confucius.
"Let's not mention this matter for a while, I'm only here today to invite Mr. Kong to teach in Taixue.
If Mr. Kong is willing, Zhang Yuan will be rewarded, and if Mr. Kong is unwilling, Zhang Yuan will not be reluctant. ”
At this time, Sima Qian, who was still young, shook Sima Tan's arm and muttered in a low voice.
"yes, the eldest also wants to go to Taixue to study."
Sima Tan glared at Sima Qian fiercely and said.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Taixue must be old and weak crown before you can enter the school, you can't go to Taixue now before you reach the weak crown, when you are old enough, your father will naturally send you to Taixue."
Seeing that Kong Anguo was still hesitating, Zhang Yuan walked up to Sima Qian's side and smiled at his aunt.
"If Zichang wants to enter Taixue to study, I should be able to make an exception for Zichang."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan said to Sima Tan again.
"Zichang is very smart compared to his peers, Taixue now has Tang Capital, I asked people to go to Bajun to invite Luo Xia Hong, plus the Doctor of the Five Classics.
I think that the child can learn within a few years, and Tai Shi Ling doesn't mind those rules, and Tai Xue doesn't have to be admitted to study inside.
Some of the disciples of the Doctor of the Five Classics are younger than Zichang. ”
Sima Tan saw that Zhang Yuan was willing to open this back door, and he didn't stubbornly have to follow that rule.
"Then the lower official will thank you for learning too much."
"It doesn't matter."
After finishing Sima Qian's matter, Zhang Yuan looked back at Kong Anguo, and saw that he was still hesitating, so he no longer wanted him to go to Taixue.
There are already doctors of the Five Classics in Taixue, all of whom teach Confucian classics, but in fact, Kong Anguo can only be attached to the doctor of "Shu" in the past, and he can't open one more discipline like Tang Du.
It can be said that there is not much more than him, and there is no less of him, but the name of this descendant of Confucius is relatively loud.
"Has Mr. Kong thought about it? Now that Taixue has just opened, there are still many complicated things waiting for me to deal with, and I really can't delay too long in Chang'an.
If Mr. Kong hasn't thought about it yet, then Zhang Yuan will retire first, and when Mr. Kong has made a decision, he can go to Taixue to find me at any time. ”
Kong Anguo saw that Zhang Yuan was leaving, and a look of determination flashed on his face.
"I can go to Taixue to teach with Taixueling, I just want to ask Taixueling to do me a favor."
"Mr. Kong said that as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help Mr. Kong."
"I... I thought, "
Kong Anguo hesitated, it was obvious that it was difficult for him to say this, but he soon spit it out.
"I want Tai Xueling to write a recommendation for me.
I came to Chang'an City to be an official, to serve the Son of Heaven, and to serve the Han.
But I have been suffering from no way, so I have been running into walls everywhere, Taixue Ling is the respect of the doctor, as long as you are willing to write a letter of recommendation, Your Majesty will definitely be able to see it. ”
When Zhang Yuan heard Kong Anguo's appeal, he couldn't help but sneer, this descendant of Confucius was also blinded by lard.
If he writes a letter of recommendation for him and he gets reused, then the lecturer he worked so hard to find will be gone.
But Zhang Yuan thought about it, it's not impossible to get a good fate, Liu Chexingru is already a sure thing, this Kong Anguo will definitely be reused in the future, but he can't do a loss-making business.
"Yes, I promise you.
As long as you can teach Taixue for two years, I will definitely recommend you to Your Majesty.
It's just that I don't know if you can bear the time of two years, and if you can teach in Taixue for two years, Your Majesty will not let you start from the lowest officials.
Now I recommend you, you are likely to be just a Lang official, and you can't even be a Lang official.
It's up to you what you think. ”
Kong Anguo may have really stayed in Chang'an for a long time, and he has not been able to find a way, and he is also yearning to soar into the sky, and said to Zhang Yuan with a very firm look in his eyes.
"I am willing to teach in Taixue for two years with Taixue Order."
