In the end, the news naturally spread to the Dachen court, and the court gave him a mercy, and Emperor Taizu Gao personally sacrificed him and honored him as a loyal waiter.

It is said that the later Son of Heaven was moved by his loyalty and bravery, and wanted to posthumously crown him as the king, but was stopped by the minister, not because he was not qualified to enjoy the king, but because the three characters of loyalty and righteousness have become a symbol, which is the great glory, and no matter how noble the title, in front of the three words of loyalty and righteousness, it has been eclipsed.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao's idea was abandoned.

This person was also the first to be carried into the Confucian Temple by virtue of his literary name, and enjoyed a lofty status like Mencius and the seventy-two disciples of Confucius.

Almost every year, the palace has to carry out sacrifices.

Even in the palace, there are special sacrificial activities, and among the people, there is also his special ancestral hall, and on the day of his death, it has also become a place of remembrance for many people.

However, Chen Kaizhi has only skimmed some of his deeds in the classics and history, but he is not deeply impressed, which is really not to blame Chen Kaizhi, it is really because of the heavy schoolwork.

He nodded, and said calmly to Liu Mengyuan: "It is better for students to be respectful than to obey their orders. ”

It's just that after returning home, Chen Kaizhi thought about his task, but he was a little difficult.

The sacrificial text is nothing more than whining and lamenting, exaggerating his merits and mourning his experience, such a sacrificial text, Chen Kaizhi can also be familiar with the road, but ......

Since Mr. Liu specially explained, he should not be taken lightly.

So he went out to buy a few books about this loyal candidate, and simply read them attentively before speaking.

Such a hero has to study it himself before he can write a sacrificial text.

…………

Qufu.

The building at the heart of this context, the Yansheng Mansion, will always be the most breathtaking building here.

With the expansion and repair of generation after generation, the Yansheng Mansion stretches for several miles, and its scale is even no less than the imperial cities and palaces of various countries.

The buildings here, in addition to the glazed tiles, are white walls, carved beams and paintings, but they are full of antiquity.

And around the periphery of the Yansheng Mansion, the Seven Grand Mansions are much overshadowed, but even so, these major Princely Mansions can also be called gorgeous.

Every brick and tile here seems to have a history, and every building seems to have a deep meaning, only in the periphery of the Yansheng Mansion and the Seven Great Princes' Mansions, the countless grass houses and the magnificent mansions seem to have become two extremes.

Here, countless scholars who come here to build a grass house, study here, and more people regard this place as a place to learn from each other, so every gathering place of the grass house will specially open up a place for learning literature, or a scholar in brocade clothes and jade food, or a ragged ink writer, will always gather here at a special time, and then read here, and exchange knowledge with each other here.

There was the sound of reading everywhere, for no coarse man who could read big words was allowed to come near unless he was allowed to do so, and even the smoke of cooking would never be seen here, because the gentleman was far away from cooking, and all the food and use was from the other side of a river, where countless servants would bring it on time.

This is the place that every scholar yearns for, even in the early morning, it is not a rooster that crows, but a boy selected by the Yansheng Mansion, he will wear a scarf on his head, wear a Confucian shirt, and then slowly climb the building of the Yansheng Mansion, which is ten zhang high and unobstructed on all sides.

The boy sits cross-legged and begins to chant in the purest ancient rhyme: "Learn and learn......"

Starting from the first sentence of the Analects, when the boy began to read, this loud voice was in the center of the context of Qufu, and there were also scattered literary buildings everywhere, and then, in each literary building, there were already children prepared, and they began to echo the sound of reading in the distance with their immature voices.

It didn't take long for countless readings to come together.

This with an ancient tone pierced the dawn of a new day, and the loud sound broke through the sky, at this time...... It's three quarters.

At three o'clock, the sacrifice of the Yansheng Mansion also began.

The three major items of sacrifice, descendants, sacrificial texts and cold pork.

The descendants are here to tell the sages that the family has flourished.

The sacrificial text is to preach the exploits of the sages day after day, although this sacrificial text has not changed a word for hundreds of years, the only thing that has changed is the title of the sage, in short, the title has become more and more lengthy, and even the mere title, a piece of paper may not be able to fit.

The last cold pork is the most important thing, the children and grandchildren need to eat, and the sages also need to eat, this is the so-called sense of substitution, just like if the descendants are good SE, they will inevitably have to substitute their dead ancestors, and they must be lonely if they want to come to the dead ancestors under the spring, so they have to burn some paper paste beauties, and the more they burn, the more they represent filial piety.

But the Shenggong Mansion is different, the ancestors are sages, how can sages love gorgeous chariots and horses, how can they love beauties, how can they be interested in brocade clothes? Therefore, the sages had to eat cold pork, ate year after year, hundreds of years have passed, the world has changed beyond recognition, it is this Yan Shenggong Mansion, but also more and more magnificent, for the sages who have long been ancient, cold pork is unchanged.

After the sacrifice, the sound of reading with ancient rhyme, when I read the first article of learning, the last sentence: 'If you don't suffer from others, you don't know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it', it finally came to an abrupt end.

At this time, the whole Qufu seemed to be full of vitality.

The heads of the Seven Grand Dukes' Mansions have now gathered in Xingtan.

So the high-ranking Yan Shenggong, wearing a Confucian shirt and scarf sewn with the best silk, slowly left the Dacheng Hall and came here in a slow step.

The apricot altar is a square pavilion, heavy eaves, resting on the top of the mountain on all sides, cross knot ridges, two layers of yellow tile cornices, double bucket arches. The caisson in the pavilion is finely carved, painted with golden dragons, and the colors are gorgeous; Legend has it that Sage Confucius once gathered disciples to give lectures at the apricot altar, so many apricot trees were planted here.

As soon as the Yan Sheng Gong arrived, the descendants of the Seven Great Dukes stood up and deeply bowed to the Yan Sheng Gong.

Yan Shenggong also looked solemn and returned the salute.

Then, like the stars holding the moon, Yan Sheng Gong knelt and sit.

Beside him, there stood a ceremonial officer, who would always start singing at the right time, of course, using ancient rhymes.

After singing, Yan Shenggong's expression was flat.

Although he was solemn, he looked a little tired, and obviously he hadn't slept well, so he just said lightly: "The article sent by the Heavenly Pavilion, have you ever read it?" ”

The Seven Grand Dukes nodded one after another.

So Yan Shenggong sighed: "Breathtaking, what do you think?" ”

Yan Shenggong can't laugh, so he always has a strained face, and he doesn't know which generation of Yan Shenggong has set the rules since the establishment of the Yan Shenggong Mansion.

Since Yan Shenggong can't laugh and keeps his face tense all the time, then ...... The head of the Seven Dukes' Mansion naturally couldn't laugh, so that the Confucian scholars who had entered Qufu gradually began to laugh.

Laughing has become a faux pas, and being rude is a big taboo.

Wen Chenggong said slowly: "This strange text is also good!" ”

Wen Zhonggong had a calm face and agreed: "Good! ”

This is all an expression of praise for this article.

Only Wen Zhenggong squinted slightly, looking thoughtful: "Although it is good, it is also quite controversial." ”

Yan Shenggong's eyes flashed a trace of understanding.

The source of controversy is the countries.

This is an article sent by Dachen Tianren Pavilion, but here are stationed the great sages of Chu, Yue, Yan, Xiliang, Shu and other countries, Yansheng Gongfu, is by no means just an academic institution, nor is it a place of sacrifice, here, every move is closely related, even ......

This is a stage to balance the interests of various countries, for example, the janissaries guarding here must be the warriors of the Yan Kingdom, and the ceremonial officials here must be selected from the Chen Kingdom, and even the ones who are responsible for driving the car need to use the imperial of the Xiliang Kingdom.

Wen Zhenggong added another sentence at this time: "However, although they disagree and feel that the article is too plain, they also praise it." ”

If you have a thumbs up, it's worth playing.

If you just criticize such an article, then it will seem that the pattern is smaller, and everyone thinks it is good, but you say that it is useless, which is a matter that affects your reputation.

But while there is some praise, a few more reprimands will seem fair.

Yan Shenggong nodded: "I want to push all the schools, what about the public will?" ”

The Seven Princes looked at each other.

In fact, this idea is not only Yan Shenggong, but even they agree with it.

The duty of the Yansheng Gongfu, in addition to the sacrifice, is to persuade learning, if this article is implemented to the various schools, it can make the reader read twice the result with half the effort, which is of great benefit to the Yansheng Gongfu, the more readers in the world, the more prosperous the education, and the more prosperous, the more protégés of the saints.

Wen Zheng is fair: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, if the name is not right, it will not be good." ”

Yan Shenggong's head.

Yes, an article that needs to be promoted to all schools, so how can the person who wrote this article still be a fledgling kid?

Yan Shenggong must first correct the status of the author before the article can be promoted, otherwise it will be opposed by various countries.

"It's just ......" Wen Zhenggong glanced at Yan Shenggong deeply, and he swallowed lightly, and finally put his words on the table: "I'm afraid that there will be criticism from various countries." ”

Yan Shenggong said expressionlessly: "Then, each of them will choose thirty people, choose the great Confucians to teach each, observe the after-effects, and then make a conclusion." ”

The Seven Grand Dukes nodded their heads, believing that this method was the safest.

In fact, this is the so-called experiment in later generations, dividing the unenlightened Mengsheng into two classes, teaching them according to their aptitude, one of which uses the three-character scripture to teach, and to see if the three-character scripture is really effective.

If the results are obvious, then it is difficult for countries to openly oppose them, even if they have some criticisms.

But if it doesn't work, the matter will naturally be done.

After saying this, Yan Shenggong suddenly said: "Is the eulogy of the Marquis of Zhongyi ready?" ”

"It has been prepared, and it will be jointly polished by sixteen great Confucians."

Yan Shenggong expressed his satisfaction, although Zhongyi Hou is a Da Chen person, but he represents the spirit of the Han Dynasty, all countries have publicized this Zhongyi Hou, and even Chu and Yan have special sacrificial activities, after all, the word Zhongyi is the clan of all countries are vigorously promoted.

Yan Shenggong had already risen up, and he said, "Go, on that day, I will personally officiate the sacrifice." ”
