Lu Zhi bowed his head slightly as he listened, and seemed to be very satisfied, making it impossible to guess what he really thought in his heart.

Liu Bei was listening to it, but he was a little worried, it seemed that he had really thought too much before, and he was a little blindly optimistic.

But think about it, don't look at the fact that these students are not very old, but most of them come from Haoqiang families all over Zhuo County, and they have a certain family heritage.

And the matter of going through the back door has always been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, there is no reason why you Liu Hong can go, but I can't.

The only thing that made Liu Bei happy was the team in his county school, that is, Liu Xian and Liu Liang, who came in through the back door of their father, and the answers they memorized were also smooth, without too many stumbles, although there was nothing special, but it was not a joke.

However, if this is the case, then I have to say that, but that is too ......

Liu Bei was thinking about it so distressedly, and suddenly an urn sound exploded in the school: "I don't want to come, my father has to come." ”

Then, the school hall was eerily quiet for a moment, the needle drop could be heard, and Lu Zhimi, who was sitting high on the stage, couldn't help but twitch.

Liu Bei's heart is like 10,000 alpacas roaring by at the moment, where does this come from, don't be so sincere, okay? He secretly glanced at the source of the sound, only to see a young man six feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and a white-clothed Shengxue looking like a bullish coax.

"I'll go, this looks pretty good, but it's normal, the little white face is mostly brainless." Liu Bei thought with some jealousy.

Seeing more and more people looking at him, the young man not only did not flinch, but stared back with wide eyes: "What do you all think I do?" ”

This provocation was like cold water entering a hot oil pot, and the school suddenly exploded.

The scholars of this era, but there is no cynical posture of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and the six arts are all learned, and the training direction from a young age is to be both civil and military, and the generals are in and out of the phase, so most of the temper is how to be a hot one, is a character who dares to fight with military generals, for example, in the previous dynasty, there was a glorious deed of the imperial historian Chao Chao in the court to beat the general Dou Ying.

Well, this is also the glorious tradition of the imperial scholars.

"It's insulting." A student couldn't help but say.

"That reckless man, do you dare to go out and fight with me." This is a desire for martial arts.

"Master Lu, disciple, please expel this son."

“……”

"Silence." Lu Zhi shouted loudly, stopping the meaningless noise, and at the same time glanced at the young man lightly, and said, "You sit down first." ”

The young man in white was amnesty, and he knelt down and sat down, no longer noisy and arrogant just now, for some reason, the man sitting on the stage just glanced at him lightly, but he felt unprecedented palpitations.

"Go on." Seeing that order had been restored in the school, Lu Zhi said lightly.

There was another moment of calm, and then the school returned to the track of beginning, and time passed minute by minute, and one person told his own opinion, until Liu Bei was left alone.

"Xuande, it's your turn." Lu Zhi cast an interested gaze, he didn't think that Liu Bei had reached the last place by accident.

Liu Bei got up and saluted, he had already thought about it, some things have to be done after all, then, it is better to do it late than early, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, compared with what you want to do in the future, the pressure and rumors brought by a sentence are just a drizzle, if you can't even bear this, then why talk about the future?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was angry and sank into the dantian, and said loudly: "Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, but his righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence, read the book of sages, what did you learn?" Now and then, Shu is almost worthy of it. - What Xuande wants, that's all. ”

The words came out, like thunder, the heavens and the earth were quiet, and it took a long time to hear Lu Zhi's faint sigh: "But its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence, and now and then, it is almost worthy of it." ”

This voice seemed to be full of a different kind of melancholy and emotion, and repeated the famous sentence of Wen Tianxiang pirated by Liu Bei several times, and Lu Zhi reined in his expression and said:

"Xuande, you- good, sit down."

Liu Bei heard Lu Zhi's order, and under the gaze of many students in the school, he sat down slowly, neither hasty nor restrained, the expression on his face was serious and serious, not at all like a nine- or ten-year-old child.

The corners of Lu Zhi's lips rose, revealing a knowing smile, and he looked at Liu Bei in the audience with satisfaction, and he found that he seemed to have accepted a great disciple, and in this world, there has never been a shortage of crazy people who are famous for their words.

But as a mere boy, under the gaze of everyone, he can still be as safe as Mount Tai and not be moved by external objects, what kind of mind is this?

But it should still be polished again, Lu Zhi, who has gone through the world, knows that there are too many prodigies and geniuses in this world, but how many can really grow into pillars? Most of them were destroyed by the praise of the world, so Lu Zhi's happy expression was only a flash, and then it was replaced by a serious one.

Liu Bei didn't know the changes in the teacher on the stage at the moment, although he was now calm and breezy on the outside, but his heart was really trembling and barely maintained.

Liu Bei could clearly feel the curious, jealous, and disdainful glances that were thrown at him, but he could only insist, and he could only pretend not to see it.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi quickly relieved Liu Bei and coughed lightly, "Ahem." ”

Then most of the eyes gathered on Liu Bei suddenly dispersed, and the rest slowly moved away, Liu Bei only felt cold sweat dripping down his back, but fortunately, he survived this hurdle after all, pretending to be X is never a difficult thing, the difficult thing is whether you can afford to pretend to be X.

On the stage, Lu Zhi glanced majestically in all directions, and then began to teach: "Today, in the first class, I will tell you about the Book of Songs. ”

Liu Bei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief in the audience, suddenly felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and said secretly: "Ancient scriptures." ”

Although the two are in the same vein of Confucianism, the former is biased towards exegesis and advocates the exposition of the ideas of the predecessors, while the latter pays attention to the subtle words and advocates the application of the world.

Because of the difference in the field of thought, these two factions have been fighting endlessly, but this is normal, in the eyes of most people, heretics are often more damned than infidels, for example, whether the bean curd is salty or sweet.

However, Liu Bei knew that this was not the point, because the question of ancient and modern classics was not a purely academic issue from the beginning, but a complicated political issue, and its nature was similar to the frequent moral changes after Emperor Xiaowu.

The rise of ancient literature and classics has two symbols, namely Wang Mang and Liu Xin.

During the time of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a Confucian master at that time and a powerful minister of the empire, was making hard preparations for the usurpation of the Han Dynasty.

Then Liu Xin, who was also the school secretary at that time, miraculously discovered a lot of lost ancient texts, and those ancient scriptures who were rejected by the mainstream are the real Confucian orthodoxy, and then made an article full of loopholes "Transferring Books to Dr. Taichang", stating the beginning and end of the matter to Wang Mang.

However, when Emperor Guangwu was in the ascendancy, because he used proverbs to consolidate his power when he made his fortune, and in order to show his political attitude that was incompatible with Wang Mang, after he ascended the throne, he advocated the modern text and abolished the ancient language.

Ancient scriptures have since declined.

Then there is the great battle between modern literature and ancient literature and classics that has lasted for a hundred years until today.

If Liu Bei remembers correctly, in the next period of time, the teacher's senior brother, Zheng Xuan, will start his journey of commenting on the group scriptures and refuting the Confucian scholars, temporarily bringing the dispute between ancient and modern classics to an end.

After Lu Zhi said that, he began to give a formal lecture, and the content of the lecture was the first article of the Book of Songs, "Guan Ju".

Liu Bei and a group of students listened carefully below, and from time to time someone was called up by Lu Zhi to answer their thoughts.

Liu Bei felt a little bored, he found that although Lu Zhi spoke well, it did not have the magical effect of the brilliant and sudden-making appearance he imagined, it was just plain, not much different from the lectures of ordinary high school or university teachers in later generations, and even because of the limitations of the times, some aspects were not clear and systematic enough.

But this is also normal, after all, the Great Confucianism is just a Great Confucian, not a Great Immortal, where are there so many magical special effects, and the reason why most of the great people look so great is just because they can't see clearly from too far away.

"Xuande, tell me about it." Liu Bei, who was stuck in his own world and couldn't extricate himself, was awakened by a thunderclap.

On the stage, Lu Zhi was looking at Liu Bei seriously.

Liu Bei secretly said that it was not good, he was thinking about things just now, and he didn't listen to what the teacher said later, let alone where he preached. But the arrow is on the bow - I have to send it, and I have to bite the bullet and say:

"The disciple thinks that the article "Guan Ju" is wonderful, 'sad but not sad, happy but not lewd', as the sages said."

In this era, although Confucius was prestigious, he was only one of the sages, and he had not yet become the sage who was enshrined by the feudal dynasty in later generations.

"In addition, the disciple also thinks that if the poem is three hundred, if it is covered by one word, it can be said, 'thinking is innocent'."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he lowered his head with a slight weakness, this is exactly the sentence he encountered when he copied the "Analects" a few days ago, and he was still complaining in his heart about his father's unreasonableness, but he didn't expect to use it today.

However, will this panacea answer get you through? Well, it shouldn't be a big problem, Liu Bei thought luckily.

"Xuande." The voice was majestic, but there was no joy or anger to be heard.

"The disciple is here."

"You memorized the Analects well."
