Early the next morning, everyone set off for Luoyang.

Guo Bin, Ma Yuanyi, and Guan Yu rode horses all the way to chat, Wang Yue chased Dong Xing'er and was courteous, which made her head upset, and Guo Quan talked to Tang Zhou all the way, and these two people talked to each other without yin or yang. Fortunately, Yanshi was not far from Luoyang, the capital division, and arrived at noon on the second day.

After walking along the way, Guo Bin, Guan Yu and Ma Yuanyi became more and more compatible. As far as Guo Bin knows, in history, this Ma Yuanyi was responsible for contacting the eunuchs and magnates in Beijing, and organizing tens of thousands of Taiping Dao from Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather north in Yecheng, and prepare for various matters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the general manager of Taiping Dao. was only denounced by Tang Zhou before the incident, and the car was split in Luoyang.

Judging from historical records, this Taiping Daoist who has been neglected should have a very respected position in Taiping Dao. He is certainly highly regarded and trusted, with great skills and organisational skills. In those days, organizing tens of thousands of people to travel through half China to complete a major strategic shift was undoubtedly a huge project that was extremely difficult to complete. It can be seen that Tang Zhou's deep and meticulous mind is also that Tang Zhou has been planning this matter for a long time, and it will never be a temporary idea.

The more Guo Bin and Ma Yuanyi talked, the more they got along, and they also appreciated Ma Yuanyi's cheerfulness, open-mindedness, shrewdness and ability, but when they thought of the huge damage caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion to China, and the Yellow Turban Uprising could not bring real light to China, the words of reminder came to their lips but swallowed again.

In addition to Guan Yu, Ma Yuanyi and Tang Zhou, everyone entered Beijing for the first time, and when they saw the tall and majestic city wall, Guo Quan and Dong Xing'er opened their mouths exaggeratedly, and even Wang Yue, who has always been coquettish and elegant, could not hide the excitement and longing in his eyes, but Guo Bin continued to turn his head and chat with Guan Yu and Ma Yuanyi after a few glances.

Guan Yu saw Guo Bin like this, and secretly admired in his heart: "The lord's joy and anger are invisible, but he does not see any hesitation and discomfort when he enters Beijing for the first time, and he is really the posture of the master." ”

Ma Yuanyi said secretly: "Brother Guo's martial arts are high, his horizons are broad, and he has his own splendid chest, and it is even more rare that he is neither humble nor arrogant at a young age, and he is really a dragon and phoenix among people." If I can pull him into my Taiping Road, he will do things every day, and the help will definitely be not small. ”

Guo Bin said secretly: "Look at the way you haven't seen the world, my brother is a person who has climbed the Great Wall, and the Ming Great Wall in Nanjing has been to many times, and the Luoyang City Wall scared you?" ”

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a boy come up and grab Guo Bin's horse reins, and shouted: "Brother Binzi, you can be regarded as arriving, Uncle let us squat at the city gates and wait for you for two days, fortunately, I waited today." "It turned out to be the tiger of Guojiazhuang, working in the Beijing restaurant.

Guo Bin was also very happy, and hurriedly dismounted to ask everyone about the current situation in Beijing, and Guo Quan, the kid, got off the horse early and fought with Huzi.

In this way, everyone separated at the gate of the city, Wang Yue and Ma Yuanyi had their own places to go, Guo Bin and the two left each other's addresses, and they separated.

Huzi took a group of people to a large mansion, only to see the word "Guo Fu" written on the plaque at the main entrance, and when I went in, there were all houses on top of each other, and all the courtyards were all in one entry. In the meantime, the grass and trees are colorful, the mountains and rivers are corresponding, the butterflies are staggering, the birds are singing, Guo Bin sighed secretly: "This is simply a special tourist area." ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Huzi hurriedly said: "This is what the uncle asked me to find, and it was transferred from the hands of an old man who was Zhishi." said that doing things in the capital still requires a little pomp. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they saw Dong Xing'er kick open the door of a courtyard and said, "From now on, this is the courtyard of this woman, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of this girl." With that, she snorted and went into the house to wash and rest.

Guo Quan also rushed into a courtyard screaming and jumping like crazy, and shouted wildly: "This is my yard, don't rob me of anyone!" ”

Guo Bin and Guan Yu could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

After settling down, Guo Bin called Huzi to come and go to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong's mansion to send famous thorns, so that they could make an appointment to visit. After sitting in the two concierges for more than half an hour, he handed over the post and replied.

That night, Cai Yong saw Guo Bin's first-hand book in a large number of famous thorns that came to pay respects. Seeing this book, the tiger is lying in the phoenix, smooth and moist, self-contained, and I was shocked, so I opened the name post.

The book is omitted:

Student Yingchuan Guo Bin said again, Cai Yilang stepped down: the minister tasted and smelled, Pengsheng Mazhong, and did not help himself. The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. The indoctrination of the land makes it so. It is to set up an order with the king, and to educate and educate the people. The minister also heard that the great man of the monk is too much to learn. Too a scholar, the sage is also concerned, and the origin of education is also. Since the Holy Dynasty Emperor Zuwu only Confucianism and respect, so far more than 300 years, but the text is fallacious, and the reason is to pierce the chisel of the people. ”

Seeing this, Cai Yong couldn't help but nod slowly.

"Mr. with the world's talents, the ever-changing body method, the scriptures in Taixue, the Confucianism in the matter, the law of the descendants, Zhang Da Deye, boundless. The far days of the Jicheng River, forget the short years of the morning dew. Every time students think about it, they don't know how to dance with their hands or what they do with their feet. The kid is blunt, Benyang Zhai is a cold door, and Mr. Meng Sima Decao is in love, standing on the door wall. Now I will enter Beijing, and I will be given the word Qianyang by Mr. Mr. taught him earnestly, instructed him earnestly, and wrote a letter, and specially appointed him to transfer his feet. Mr. Qi is compassionate and sincere, listen to the minister's micro-ambition, if you have to take the time to see, then the boy is fortunate in three lives. Student Guo Bin, I would like to say goodbye. ”

Cai Yong nodded while stroking his beard, and was happy when he saw Guo Bin mention the most proud "Xiping Stone Scripture" in his life, and compared it with the "Book of Songs". Seeing that it was Yingchuan Sima Decao's student, he was only shocked. Sima Decao is elegant, kind to others, and has the ability to know people and talk about the world. However, he rarely accepts apprentices in his life, and this time he accepts such an apprentice, there must be something extraordinary.

Looking at Guo Bin's handwriting, Cai Yong nodded secretly: "In the early years, Decao was not good at calligraphy, but I never thought that now I can become a family of my own, and the students I teach can write such good words." It's just that this word is chic and elegant, free and open-minded, strong and graceful, and it seems to be inconsistent with the character of morality and moderation. ”

wrote a reply at the moment, set a time, and ordered someone to send it away the next day.

The famous thorn written to Lu Zhi can't be so literate, Lu Zhi studied under Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan was also introduced by him to worship Ma Rong as a teacher. As a master of scripture, Lu Zhi also participated in the compilation of the "Xiping Stone Classic", but he did not like to compose lyrics, but was very proficient in political affairs, and even put down the barbarian rebellion in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou twice. If you want to say that the Confucian master of the same type in later generations should be Wang Yangming.

Therefore, Guo Bin's famous assassination only wrote about the letter entrusted by his teacher Sima Decao, and there were not so many praises of virtue, and the writing was mediocre and very rare.

After Lu Zhi saw the famous thorn, he was first shocked by Guo Bin's handwriting like Cai Yong, and when he saw that he was entrusted by Sima Decao to deliver the letter, he thought to himself: "I have been friends with Sima Decao for decades, although he is humble and modest, but he is a round and square character, and rarely accepts disciples, is this person really amazingly talented?" ”

Then he nodded and thought, "Just looking at this handwriting, you can't practice it without great perseverance." I wrote a reply at the moment and agreed to see each other the day after tomorrow.

Guo Bin received Cai Yong's reply early the next morning, and when he saw Cai Yong's appointment to die tomorrow, he returned the post and said: "Please go back and tell Cai Yilang, thank you for not giving up, Guo Bin will go on time." ”

Then he took Guan Yu, Dong Xing'er, and Guo Quan to the teahouse and wine shop to inquire about Dong Feng's whereabouts, but he didn't hear any news for a long time.

Guo Bin said to Dong Xing'er: "The matter of finding Dong's predecessors still needs to be considered in the long run. It's better to go back to the Drunken Immortal Tower first, I will give the order and let the intelligence system focus on investigating, it is better than looking for a breath like this. ”

Dong Xing'er nodded and said, "Well, you have to tell your subordinates not to be lazy." ”

Guo Bin smiled bitterly and nodded.

At that moment, everyone returned to the drunken fairy building, only to see people coming and going, so it was not lively. Bypassing the kitchen and coming to the back, Guo Bin found the intelligence officer, and gave such an order that he asked someone to clean up the wine and food.

Full of wine and food, Guo Bin continued to lead everyone around Luoyang City. A few people didn't care where they went, so they followed the direction of the flow of people and came to the Kaiyang Gate in the southeast of Luoyang City. I saw that the green pine was straight, and the green cypress was sensen, which slightly reduced the summer heat. However, the noise of cicadas and frogs, the divergence of cars and horses, and the dusty scene drove away a little coolness.

After Guo Quan asked the pedestrians, he knew that this was Taixue. It's no wonder that Guo Bin is uneducated, the stone tablet standing at the door is written with the word "Taixue", but the seal script in this song is really incomprehensible.

At this time, the most conspicuous thing is a long stone tablet on the east side of the door, to be counted by Guo, a total of forty-six pieces, covered by a roof, surrounded by guardrails on both sides. From east to west, turn to the south, and then turn to the east, into a zigzag shape to stand on the east side of the door of the Taixue lecture hall. In front of each stele was crowded with young Confucian scholars, some pointing to the words on the stele and talking to their companions, and some actually set up a table and copied it on the spot.

Guo Bin instructed Guo Quan to go and ask, anyway, this kid is thick-skinned, and he should leave anything faceless to him.

After a while, Guo Quan came back and said, "Emma, it's all human." The little minister said that this is a person named Cai Bojiao who edited "Poems", "Books", "Analects" or something, and carved them into stone tablets for students to see. It seems that it has just been completed, and so many people come to see the excitement. ”

Hearing this, Guo Bin understood, it turned out that this was "Xiping Stone Scripture". Of course, he also knows such a name, and he doesn't know how to do it.

Since the deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, familiarity with Confucian classics has become a kind of progression, and the scriptures have been copied from one generation to another, and the words may be detached, and the teachers are different and different. In order to compete for superiority, the doctors even attacked each other, and some even bribed the officials in charge of the palace to alter the scriptures of the Lantai lacquer book to conform to their own biographies.

In order to make the text of the scriptures have an officially recognized definitive version, so as not to "Gu Confucianism pierces and chisels, and learns after doubts". Yilang Cai Yong, together with Wuguan Zhonglang General Tang Xidian, Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci, Counselor Ma Riyan, Yilang Zhang Xun, Han Shuo, Taishi Ling Shan Yang, etc., in the fourth year of Emperor Ling's Xiping (175 AD), the text of the Five Classics was sparsely played, and the stone was published outside the Taixue Gate in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

After being approved, Cai Yong and others revised the seven scriptures of "Poems", "Books", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Ram Biography", "Rituals" and "Analects" in this text, and each scripture was accompanied by a proofreading, which was written by Cai Yong in the official script that was popular at that time, and the craftsmen were summoned to publish it on the tablet according to the sample, and it was engraved in the sixth year of Guanghe (183). During this period, Lu Zhi, who served as the councillor, also participated in the proofreading work.

Words are not enough, so long words; Long words are not enough, so sigh them; sigh is insufficient, and I don't know how to dance with my hands and feet.
