"Uncle, it's dawn. ”

Yang Hejiu stood in front of the door of the dean's room, holding a ring ruler in his hand, he had been standing here for a long time, because he was really a little uneasy, but yesterday Mulanzhou said that he would tell him the story of this academy today, so he stood here waiting for dawn, when the sun just rose, he began to knock on the door.

The door opened, Mu Lanzhou stood in the house and looked at Yang Hejiu and shook his head gently, shaking his head not because of disappointment, Yang Hejiu would never let him down, but because Yang Hejiu couldn't let himself sleep for a while?

"Let's go. Mullanzhou sighed and said softly.

Yang Hejiu didn't ask where to go, just quietly followed behind Mulanzhou.

The two of them began to walk around the academy at will, and Mullanzhou said that he wanted to tell Yang Hejiu about the academy, but at this time, Mullanzhou did not mean to say anything.

After a long time, some students and teachers who came to class greeted Mulanzhou, and the dean greeted them happily.

In the past, Mullanzhou ignored the world, and many students didn't even see each other once a year, but since Mulanzhou joined the iQue, his personality has changed a lot.

The Spirit Academy is very large, they have been walking for a long time, and there is a lake at the back of the Spirit Academy, called Freedom. Students usually only attend classes in the front yard, and they don't often walk around the backyard, but there is no difference between the front yard and the back yard, and it is not a forbidden place, as long as it is in the Spirit Academy, students can go freely.

The lake water is clear and clean, but when passing by this lake, Mulanzhou is far away, as if it is a stinky ditch.

The two walked through the backyard and began to walk towards the front yard again, and when they came to the entrance of the Spirit Academy, Mullanzhou stopped.

"Do you know who founded the Spirit Academy?" asked Mullan, after a pause.

"I don't know, the books of the Spirit Academy only record that the previous dean was Dean He, Dean He hasn't heard of any other dean before, could it be the Spirit Academy founded by Dean He?" Yang Hejiu returned, as he said, everyone knows that the previous dean of the Spirit Academy was three years, but who is above He three years?

"Almost, there were three people who founded the Spirit Academy at that time, and the previous dean, He Yong, was one of them, and the other two were not from this country, one was me and the other was Rodin. Mullanzhou thought for a long time and then spoke.

"You're not from this country?" Yang Hejiu asked in surprise.

"It's not. ”

"And what country are you from?"

"I don't belong to any country. Mullanzhou looked at the sun in the sky and said.

Not belonging to any country? Yang Hejiu seemed to have guessed something.

"When I was a teenager, I wandered all the way to this city like a driftwood, and Beiyang City was not what it is now, I wandered around the city aimlessly, and then I came here, and then I saw a scholar boy who was about the same age as me teaching here. Mullanzhou pointed to the ground under his feet.

"That scholar boy is Dean He?" Yang Hejiu asked seriously.

Mulan nodded and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, as if until now he didn't believe that he would be a young scholar when he first met him: "There is no teaching house, the students are sitting on this ground, and the young scholar is standing at the front to give a lecture, I was curious and watched it for a while." The boy who taught was more wooden, and was always teased by the students that he could come out to teach as a person like him, but he was not angry, and often laughed with the students, as if seeing the group of students laughing was the happiest thing for him. ”

"Dean He's tolerance is really admirable, but what was Dean He teaching at that time?" Yang Hejiu said solemnly.

"The things he taught were also very interesting, I had never heard them before, and he said that people should be born free and should not be constrained. So he never forced his students to listen to his lectures, and I listened there for a few days, and I began to get acquainted with the young man, and I also learned his name, and he said what his name was. ”

"It's useless to be a scholar, and he has the name, and I think what he teaches is great, but the students who come to listen to the lectures are just for fun, and no one thinks that listening to his lectures will be of any use, maybe everyone just thinks that this wooden scholar is more fun. ”

He didn't care about their attitude towards him, because he taught freedom, and he thought that his students could laugh unbridled as a sign of freedom, so he was very happy. Mullanzhou continued.

Yang Hejiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Unscrupulousness is not freedom. Dean Ho, wrong. ”

Mu Lanzhou looked at Yang Hejiu and nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "What you said is right, the idea of what to use is wrong, but what he taught is right." Although I felt that there was something wrong with his thoughts, I couldn't tell what the problem was, and it wasn't until Rodin pointed it out that I suddenly realized. ”

"He Yong teaches here on time every day, but there are not many familiar faces among the students who come to listen to the lectures, most of them are just novelties, and I don't know what I should do when I come to this city, so I just sit there and want to see how long he can last. Mullan pointed to the meadow on the right.

"After some time, another boy came, and that boy was Rodin, unlike me, I just quietly watched how long He Yong could hold out, but Rodin came here and frowned, and he went straight to He Yong and interrupted the lecture. ”

Rodin believed that there was nothing wrong with the theory of freedom to teach, but he believed that all men should be created equal, and in his opinion a group of students ridiculed their teachers as unequal, and those students did not regard him as their own teacher, or even as an equal person to themselves, and in their eyes He was just a plaything for them to make fun of. ”

Rodin also gave him an example, and I remember that the conversation between the two of them that day should have been like this. ”

Rodin: "Am I supposed to be free?"

What's the use: "Childe should be born free." ”

Rodin pointed to Mulan and said, "Should he also be free?"

What's the use: "What Childe said is extremely true." ”

Rodin: "I'm free, then it's my freedom to make fun of him, and he should be free, but will he be free if I make fun of him?"

This scholar, who was already incomprehensible, could not understand such a detouring question, but he thought that what Rodin said was very reasonable, and his theory was in serious conflict. He didn't come here to lecture for a long time after that day, and although the students only regarded him as a plaything for their own amusement, they naturally felt that something was missing when the plaything was gone. He thought for a long time about the lake behind him, and he felt that everything he had taught before was wrong, and even thought that he was misleading people's children, and that he was simply guilty of unforgiving, and his emotions almost collapsed at the thought of this. ”

"I watched him from the shore, and after three months he came up to me in despair and asked me to beat him. ”

"How did you deal with it?" Yang Hejiu asked with a slight pause.

Of course I was satisfied with him, and he felt the pain and felt uncomfortable, and then he realized that his previous view of freedom was not wrong, but that something was missing, and he thanked me, and went to Rodin to ask him to be his teacher. Mullanzhou said proudly, and even slapped his thigh with a smile at the end, how could he still have the appearance of the dean of the spirit college.

The corners of Yang Hejiu's mouth twitched, really... But he didn't expect Dean He to worship the national teacher as a teacher: "The national teacher accepted Dean He as an apprentice?"

Mulan slowly put away his smile and shook his head and said: "Rodin told him that we learn from each other, this is also a kind of equality, and there is no need to be each other's master and apprentice, they have exchanged their own ideas with each other, why start teaching here again." ”

"Dean He is still teaching freedom?" Yang Hejiu asked.

"This time, He Yong not only talked about freedom, but also taught those students that everyone is equal, not to laugh at each other, and not to base freedom on unequal conditions, because He Yong is wooden, so the children will still laugh when they lecture, but there is no longer the meaning of teasing and disrespect, Rodin and I often come to listen to his lectures, and we have benefited a lot. ”

"It's ridiculous but not ridiculous, the National Normal University and Dean He are amazing. Yang Hejiu thought carefully for a while, and then said from the bottom of his heart.

"The crown prince at that time, who should be Xiao Anzi's great-grandfather, also came here by chance, and after listening to a class, he was deafening and wanted to let the three of us enter the office. I refused, and I also refused, but Rodin thought that he should build an academy here for better teaching, so he agreed to the crown prince's invitation, the official position is not large, he is considered the crown prince's staff, but the crown prince is very willing to support his idea. ”

"Soon there was the first church here, not big, but at least it didn't have to endure the sun and rain, and it didn't have a name, so why teach in the house every day, and the crown prince would often send people to observe, but those theories didn't apply to the court. ”

After all, what a crown prince can do is relatively limited, so the crown prince reported the matter to the lord of the country, thinking that this should be the policy of governing the country, but the lord of the country was furious when he heard it. In the course taught by He Yong, he believed that there was no essential difference between the king and all things in the world, and that everyone should be equal, which was unbearable for the ruler of any country, and the church house was forcibly demolished, and He Yong was also thrown into prison and sentenced to life imprisonment. ”

"I was not weak at that time, so those people did not catch me, and Rodin was not affected by the Dauphin's side. Afterwards, the crown prince regretted it and thought that he had harmed him, so he repeatedly asked the lord of the country for mercy, but he didn't know that it was this kind of repeated performance that implicated the crown prince, and the lord of the country thought that such a person was simply embarrassing. ”

Soon after, the crown prince was deposed, and the courtiers were angry. In peacetime, the benevolent monarch is the desire of everyone, and after the benevolent crown prince was beaten into the cold palace, Rodin did not give up, and united the courtiers to initiate a palace rebellion, supporting the crown prince to ascend to the throne of the country, and too many people died that night. ”

"Something isn't right. Yang Hejiu felt a little strange when he heard what Mullanzhou said.

"You see the problem too?" said Mullan, smiling and shaking his head.

"It's a little too smooth. ”

"Both Rodin and I can see these problems, how can the crown prince be the kind of impulsive and benevolent person who can be made a prince? How can the own son of the lord of the kingdom not know that those things are forbidden for the lord of the kingdom? There are no fools in the royal family, which is why the spiritual academy never participates in court affairs. Mullanzhou said after shaking his head with a wry smile.

"In that case, why do you want to help him seize the throne?" Yang Hejiu asked puzzled.

"The Dauphin saw the strength of me and Rodin. How to use it as bait, in order to let the two of us also participate in it, his repeated performances afterwards were just to anger the lord of the country and find a reason for the palace change. In fact, the crown prince had a lot of friends and could not be executed, and the lord of the country would be his sooner or later, but he didn't want to wait another few decades. He used himself as bait in order to tell those courtiers who were still choosing neutrality a very simple and understandable truth, that the lord of the country could even kill the prince whom he had set up! If I fell, you would not be spared. The people in the court were panicked, Rodin easily got some of the lists given by the crown prince, and there was no need for Rodin to contact them one by one, those people were naturally the prince's people, and it was only then that Rodin knew that the crown prince had already been fully prepared. ”

"This crown prince is kind on the outside, but on the inside he is treacherous. But these are not important, most of the benevolent monarchs in history are pretended, as long as he can pretend to be a lifetime, then he is a benevolent monarch to the people. This is the case with this crown prince, he is still as merciful as ever after succeeding to the throne, as the lord of the country often uses some means is not difficult to understand, as long as he can govern the country well, during the ninth year of the Taishi period, even all the people are looking forward to the last lord of the country, that is, the day when the crown prince succeeds to the throne. ”

Yang Hejiu thought carefully about what Mu Lanzhou said, he obviously didn't understand why a person who was kind on the surface and treacherous in his heart was called Mingjun.

"If Chang Wenjun belongs to the kind of person who is kind on the surface but treacherous on the inside, do you think he is considered a Ming Jun?" Mu Lanzhou saw Yang Hejiu's doubts and asked with an example.

"Count. Yang Hejiu finally figured out this kind of problem, and expressed his gratitude to Mulanzhou, for those who lived from the ninth year of Taishi, Chang Wenjun is really a Ming Jun.

"Rodin also became the national teacher of the Beichang Empire from that time, He Yong was subsequently acquitted, but He Yong, who was released for the big crime, was not happy, he thought that he had killed so many innocent people. ”

"His exact words at that time were: How unjust it is that so many people will be killed when they say they will be killed! How unfortunate it is that so many people will die when they say they are dead!"

He Yong was depressed at the time, believing that he had caused this injustice, and that it was because of his own people that he had been deprived of his life and freedom. Ashamed, he pointed to the lake and shouted how a man like himself was worthy to talk about freedom and fairness, and how he could teach his students. ”

"I was too lazy to be angry with a scholar, so I dragged him to the lake and beat him up again, but this time it was different from the last time, last time he just couldn't think of some problems, but this time he took the death of those people on himself, and Rodin didn't have a good way. ”

"He collapsed on the lake for another three months, and then I remembered my previous experience and told him that it was unjust for the lord of the kingdom to change the crown prince just because the crown prince had interceded many times, and we said that the palace change was not to save him, but to get justice for the crown prince. ”

He gradually understood these things, and also thought that justice was as important as freedom and equality, and after thinking about this, he began to teach, and the courses he taught were more justice, and he talked about being a human being and being just, and there should be evidence in judging cases. ”
