After Zheng Xuan joined Ma Rong's disciples, he was not valued by Ma Rong for three years, and he never even saw him, so he could only listen to the lectures of his high-level disciples.

Although the knowledge in Zheng Xuan's chest has far surpassed Ma Rong's "high feet". But Zheng Xuan remembered the words of the sage, "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher."

He continued to listen attentively, studying and reciting day and night, without tireness.

Once, Ma Rong and some of his high-level disciples were calculating the problem of the heavens together, but they encountered difficulties and could not solve them by themselves.

Some people said that Zheng Xuan was good at mathematics, so they summoned him to meet him. Zheng Xuan quickly and satisfactorily solved the problem on the spot, which made Ma Rong and the disciples present shocked.

At that time, Ma Rong valued Lu Zhi, who was of noble character, and he said to Lu Zhi with emotion: "We are not as good as others."

Since then, Ma Rong attaches great importance to Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan has sought advice from Ma Rong one by one on the difficult problems found in his usual study but not solved.

Zheng Xuan studied under Ma Rong for seven years, and because his parents were old and needed to be raised, he said goodbye to Ma Rong and returned to his hometown in Shandong. Ma Rong already felt that Zheng Xuan was a great talent at this time, and he would even surpass himself, and he said to his disciples with deep emotion: "Zheng Sheng is going now, and I will go to the east!" ”

After returning from Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan was already in his forties. But he has learned everything about hundreds of schools of thought and is famous all over the world.

Many people came from all over the world to join him and worship him as a teacher and listen to his lectures.

At that time, his family was still very poor, so he "cultivated Donglai", farming to make a living, and teaching disciples.

In the first year of Jianning, Liu Hong ascended the throne, and the second disaster of the party came.

The imperial court issued an edict to all prefectures and counties to investigate the party members, and all "party members" and their protégés, former officials, fathers and sons, and brothers who are currently in official positions will be dismissed from office and imprisoned.

Zheng Xuan was once Du Mi's former official, and he was appreciated and promoted by Du Mi, so he was also regarded as a party member.

After Zheng Xuan was imprisoned, he cut off the path of advancement, so he did not go out, practiced the scriptures in seclusion, and concentrated all his energy on the work of permeating the group scriptures and teaching his disciples.

The classics of the Han Dynasty are divided into modern and ancient texts. Not only are the scriptures different from each other, but more importantly, their interpretations and viewpoints are very different.

After Qin Shi Huang burned the book, some old Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty recited some scriptures from memory, and recorded and sorted them out with the popular script at that time, which was called "Jinwenjing".

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang and Liu Xin father and son school secretaries discovered a "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" written in ancient scripts, plus the "Rites" and "Ancient Texts and Books" obtained by Kong Bi, and the "Mao Poems" that had not yet been established as a scholar at that time, became the main classics of the ancient scriptures. Those who study the modern scriptures are called the modern literature school, and those who study the ancient scriptures are called the ancient literature school.

With the passage of time, ancient and modern scriptures gradually became incompatible, and developed into mutual accusations, arguments, and mutual attacks.

Later, the ancient scriptures were also established as scholars and obtained legal status, and the struggle between the two factions became more frequent and intense.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancient literature and classics were parallel, and the influence of the ancient literature school expanded rapidly. Zheng Xuan's entry into the world of scripture was precisely under the situation of fierce struggle between the modern and ancient literary schools.

Zheng Xuan successively studied under the Fifth Yuan Xian and Ma Rong both belonged to the ancient scriptures faction, and it stands to reason that Zheng Xuan should be inclined to the ancient scriptures.

But Zheng Xuan does not adhere to the theory of one teacher and respect the words of the family, but is erudite and eclectic.

He used his profound knowledge to read through the ancient scriptures, focusing on the interpretations of the ancient scholars and not using the interpretations of the ancient scholars, and at the same time adopted the interpretations of many modern scholars. That is, the ancient text is the mainstay, and the modern text is adopted, and the good is followed.

During his imprisonment, he annotated and wrote "more than a few million words", and his annotations were called "Zheng Notes".

After the appearance of Zheng Note, the modern scriptures and ancient scriptures that used to guard the door gradually ceased to be believed by the people of the world.

At that time, Zheng Xuan not only collected the culmination of ancient literature and classics, but also integrated ancient and modern texts into one furnace, and created a new school, which the world called "Zheng Xue".

The people of the world turned to advocate Zheng Xue, making it gradually become the Confucianism of "the sect of the world".

Throughout the ages, Zheng Xuan's contribution to the development of scripture is incomparable.

Ma Rong's original words also came true, Zheng Xue did surpass him, and even surpassed Lu Zhi.

Yang Ci, Chen Yu, and Cai Yong are all world-famous university scholars, and they may be more prominent than Zheng Xuan in other aspects, but in terms of classics, Zheng Xuan is undoubtedly the first. Because he is the master of the two Han scriptures.

Later generations enshrined him as one of the twenty-two ancestors and deserved to enjoy the Confucian Temple.

Zheng Xuan led a group of disciples to the realm of the Yin Pavilion, and naturally he couldn't hide the fine work of Liu Fan's subordinates.

The influx of Yin Pavilion and Mayi refugees was too frequent, and Wang Yue, the captain of the military academy, arranged a large number of detailed works in the two counties. Prevent the occurrence of things that "make Liu Fan unsatisfactory".

Wang Yue was promoted to lieutenant by Liu Fan because he searched for important information many times in the war.

More than 100 people dressed in Confucian costumes came to Yanmen, which was very unusual for the homeless people.

Yesterday, I just ordered that if I meet a "scholar" coming to Yanmen, I must report it to the above.

So many scholars came to Yanmen, and the meticulous workers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to tell them.

Hussar General's Mansion, Liu Fan had just finished washing and combing, Yu Mi presented the meal, and Liu Fan picked up the chopsticks and just ate the next bite of food.

At the same time, Wang Yue entered Liu Fan's door and told Liu Fan the news.

Liu Fan didn't have time to swallow the food, spit out the food in his mouth, and hurriedly summoned the horses to run out of the Hussar General's Mansion.

Dian Wei, Zhao Ji and other guards followed suit.

After leaving the south gate of the Yin Pavilion City, the war horse ran for more than 30 miles along the official road, only to see a group of more than 100 Confucian scholars rushing to this side.

Liu Fan is sure that this is the scholar that Wang Yue is talking about. Regardless of whether these people have left footprints in history, Liu Fan will treat them with courtesy.

Zheng Xuan led the students to walk slowly on the official road, and his destination was the Yin Pavilion.

His whole life has been bumpy, and it was, and probably will be.

This trip to Yanmen can be said to have escaped.

This year, in order to win the hearts of the people, He Jin, who was in charge of the imperial court, first recruited Zheng Xuan to enter the court as an official.

Zheng Xuan was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he didn't want to be a servant, but He Jin's henchmen in the state and county coerced Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan had no choice but to go to the court to see He Jin.

He Jin was a corporal who showed courtesy, and paid tribute to Zheng Xuan, and set up a few and a staff to treat him. Zheng Xuan, in order to protect his celebrity and celebrity temperament, refused to wear court clothes, and only wore ordinary Confucian civilian clothes to meet He Jin.

Because he couldn't get used to He Jin's virtue, only one night later, Zheng Xuan fled without waiting for the official position.

originally wanted to flee back to his hometown, but thinking of He Jin's huge power in the Central Plains, Zheng Xuan led his disciples to Yanmen County, which was the most famous recently.

Among the disciples he led, the beautiful man Cui Yan, Guo Yuan, Zhao Shang, Gongsun Fang, and Xi Wei were the most famous.

Liu Fan stopped his horse dozens of steps away from Zheng Xuan and the others, turned over and dismounted.

The five hundred guards behind him stopped not far away, and Dian Wei dismounted and followed with halberds.

Such a large formation shocked Zheng Xuan's disciples.

Zheng Xuan's face did not change, and he looked at the comer.

Liu Fan walked like a fly, and came to Zheng Xuan in a moment.

"I heard that all scholars are coming to Yanmen, and as the Taishou of Yanmen, I have come to welcome you." Liu Fan waved his hand and saluted.

Yanmen is too guarded, isn't it Liu Fan, the hussar general?

Even when Zheng Xuan heard the news, his face fluctuated slightly. Not to mention their disciples.

"Zheng Xuan, a native of Beihai, meet the hussar general."

Zheng Xuan quickly stabilized his mood and returned the salute to Liu Fan.

"Jingshen, Zheng Kangcheng! The name of the public is like thunder. Liu Fan's expression moved.

Zheng Xuan's name really shocked Liu Fan. The master of the scriptures is one of the most prestigious polymaths of the present day.
