Chapter 085: Prophecy
The next day, Xu Xian put on the uniform uniform of Guozijian - Tai student uniform, and Xu Hao, the chief secretary of Guozijian, arranged his studies.
Of course, Xu Hao also considered Xu Xian's wishes when arranging Xu Xian's class.
In addition to the four books taught by the highly learned Confucians, Guozijian also has a doctor of the Five Classics in the middle, and the doctor of the Five Classics is responsible for teaching a scripture, and there are also small courses such as law, calligraphy and arithmetic.
Similar to the education system of later generations, after becoming a Xiucai, the knowledge to be studied began to be profound, and it was no longer a general talk, and the manpower was sometimes poor, and it was impossible to master all the five classics while studying the four books, so the scholars needed to choose their own major and minor scriptures.
In the scriptures, it is divided into the Great Scripture, the Middle Scripture and the Small Scripture, but how to divide the grades, the past dynasties are different, and the Great Shengguo takes the "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn" as the Great Scripture.
After all, Xu Xian was a modern person and was not interested in etiquette, so he chose "Spring and Autumn" to major in the Great Sutra.
There was a deviation in time and space, and it was necessary for him to carefully understand what had happened in the previous dynasties of the Great Sheng Kingdom.
Of course, the most important thing is that reading history can be wise, Xu Xian does not want to become a pedantic old scholar, but can become a practical talent who governs the world.
The Taizu of this dynasty is familiar with the 24 histories and has achieved the heroic strategy of the founding of the country.
After choosing the major of "Spring and Autumn", Xu Xian chose to study "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu" and "Book of Changes", as well as arithmetic.
"Shangshu" means "Book of Antiquity", which is a compilation of ancient history and part of the recounting of ancient deeds, recording the history from the legendary Yaoshun era to the Spring and Autumn Festival. It just complements the major "Spring and Autumn".
The Book of Songs collects poems from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and poetry can reflect the social and humanistic affairs of that time, so isn't it a history book?
As for the I Ching, it was purely his own pastime.
For Xu Xian, arithmetic is a subject that does not require energy to learn, and with the modern mathematical knowledge he has learned, it is more than enough to be a doctor of Guozijian.
As for the rest of the scriptures, although they no longer spend energy on further study, they cannot be completely abandoned, and a certain number of courses are arranged in the Guozi prison every ten days.
After arranging the course and registering it, the master of Guozijian sent Xu Xian to find a classroom to listen to the class.
has already been admitted to Xiucai and become scholars, no longer primary school children, and Guozijian is naturally no longer responsible for all aspects.
Xu Xian returned to the dormitory, according to the course arrangement, took the "Spring and Autumn" books, and then went out to find the school where "Spring and Autumn" was taught.
After almost looking for half of the country's eunuchs, Xu Xian finally found the school where he listened to the class, a very small school.
It turned out that Xu Xian had just entered the Guozijian after all, and he couldn't listen to too advanced courses, so he could only listen to direct lectures.
Although Dashengguo was a more pragmatic dynasty, Confucianism was still based on the ritual system, and the scholars majored in the "Book of Rites", and the "Spring and Autumn Period" was rarely cared for.
After learning "Spring and Autumn", I have to further study the history of the past dynasties, and I am familiar with the changes in the history of dynasties from ancient times to the present.
Therefore, in Xu Xian's first class in Guozijian, there were only seven or eight classmates.
After Xu Xian made sure that he had found the wrong classroom, he stood at the door and respectfully bowed to the direct lecture that was explaining "Spring and Autumn", and then quietly entered the classroom and sat down to listen to the lecture.
To put it bluntly, he is a middle-aged man in his thirties and close to his forties, of medium height, wearing a gentleman's Confucian costume and a beard with a pinch of black ink. Xu Xian knew on the course schedule form that this direct lecturer was Liao Yun.
He had already spotted Xu Xian when he saluted him at the door, but he did not stop, but continued his lecture.
The seven or eight classmates also saw Xu Xian, and they all only glanced at Xu Xian, and then continued to listen attentively to the class.
Xu Xian sat down and listened carefully for a while, knowing that Liao Yun was talking about "Min Gong", and when he talked about Zhongsun Gui, he said: "If you don't go to celebrate your father, you will be in trouble." The public said, "If so, where will it go?" He said: "It's difficult, you will kill yourself, and you will treat it." ”
After a pause, he swept his gaze over all the scholars in the hall and asked, "Why did Zhongsun conclude that Father Qing would kill himself?" ”
Due to the small number of scholars who listened to the class, Liao Yun asked one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Xian, and said, "Tell me why." ”
Xu Xian had already thought about the answer when Liao Yun asked the other scholars, so he immediately stood up and replied: "Because Father Qing is arrogant, arrogant and disrespectful, and covets the throne. By the time Zhongsun asserted that Qing's father was going to kill himself, the situation was already clear. At that time, not long after the new funeral of Zhuang Gong, Qing's father conspired to kill the puppet Min Gong in order to seek the throne, and set up a puppet Min Gong, who held great power behind his back. However, the Lu State is the most obedient to the Zhou etiquette, and what Qing's father does is tantamount to self-isolation from the Lu State. ”
"Moreover, since Qing's father did domineering things, he hid his head and showed his tail and gave people a handle. If they don't do one or the other and sit on the throne, there is no possibility of success. ”
Liao Yun listened to Xu Xian's previous answer, which was quite regular, but when he finally heard "don't do it and don't stop doing it", he couldn't help but brighten up his eyes and show surprise.
However, after being surprised, he suddenly became angry, and reprimanded: "Where are you a student, how dare you say such a kingless, fatherless, and rebellious thing!" ”
The other students looked at Xu Xian and looked at Xu Xian with strange eyes.
"Student Xu Xian, the word Chinese." Xu Xian calmly introduced himself, "The person from Qiantang County, Lin'an Prefecture, Jiangnan Road, is a new tribute student this year, and due to the long distance, he just reported yesterday. ”
"Hmph, don't do gibberish in the future!" Liao Yun warned sharply.
Xu Xian didn't make any excuses and said, "Yes." ”
Although Liao Yun scolded him, he could feel that Liao Yun had no ill will towards him, but loved him. He himself was also vigilant in his heart, the second half of the words just now really couldn't be said, if it was spread by someone with a heart, the consequences would be unimaginable, especially if it was still under the nose of the Son of Heaven.
"Sit down." Liao Yun's tone softened slightly.
Then, he continued to talk about "Spring and Autumn", as if what had just happened had not happened.
After talking for a morning, and finally after class, Liao Yun left directly and did not accept Xu Xian's worship.
In the evening, Liao Yun drank and ate with a close friend.
During the drinking room, Liao Yun mentioned that there was a different scholar among the students he taught today.
"What's so different about this gentleman?" My friend asked curiously.
Liao Yun thought for a while and said, "I can't say specifically." In my judgment, this scholar will have a great accomplishment in time. ”
"Haha, you're talking a lot." My friend smiled, "There are many kinds of achievements, and it is naturally not an ordinary person to become a tribute." ”
Liao Yun Zhengse said: "The capable minister who rules the world, the traitor of the troubled times!" ”
When my friend heard this, he laughed out loud and didn't think so.
Liao Yun also stopped explaining.
