Chapter 155: Luoyang Academy

Seeing that the king asked about his own work, Ning Yue hurriedly bowed down and said, "There is indeed something to report to the king, there are big things and small things, which one does the king want to listen to first?" ”

It's rare that Ning Yue also has such a side, Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing, "Then let's talk about the little things first." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A few days ago, a child of the Tian family took a fancy to a woman in the market, so he wanted to take it back, but the woman was a family person, and she did not obey life and death. The deceased's family is just a small household, working for a living, the deceased's family found Tianfu after learning about it, but was beaten out again, and then found Luoyang Sima Wang Shou, Wang Shou is quite benevolent, so he made the decision to find Tianfu, under persuasion, Tianfu lost 500 yuan. ”

This is still a trivial matter, a living scandal of a bully bullying a woman from a good family, this is a great event in the future, and it will make headlines. Zhou Bian almost jumped up, but quickly stabilized his mind, this is ancient times, yes, this is the Zhou Dynasty that can't be courteous to the people and can't punish the doctor, not the enlightened feudal dynasty of the later generations where the prince broke the law and the common people, Qin Mugong only used five sheepskins to exchange for Baili Xi, so in the eyes of the nobles, five hundred dollars to buy a woman's life, maybe Baifu still thinks that it is for the sake of Wang Shou's face. However, since he is here, then the rule of law society should not be far away, everything can only be changed when he has a strong strength and is not affected by anyone, otherwise it is like changing the law in Luoyang some time ago, and he needs to be cautious, for fear that the nobles in the city will not understand. Alas, everything is built on strength.

After thinking about this, Zhou Bian's heart felt better, so he nodded slightly and said, "This king knows, but Li Min is the main supporting force of my royal family, and my royal family's men and soldiers are all from civilians, so if there is a chance, this king will remind the Tian family that he is optimistic about his family." Is that all the little things said about? ”

"Hmm." Ning Yue nodded, "And the big thing is related to Yan Gao." ”

"Yan Gao? That Confucian student? "At the beginning, I said that the royal family would come forward to run the school for him, but I didn't ask about it during this time, and I don't know what happened.

"It was him, in Luoyang City, I heard that the Son of Heaven allowed him to run a school, and he prepared a school site, and he wanted to send his children into it to study, and Yan Gao did not refuse at first, but later he couldn't sit down in the main hall of the college, and Yan Gao couldn't teach alone, so he had to politely refuse, but some big families did not follow, and under the quarrel, the college could no longer teach normally." It turned out that this incident had not happened for a long time, so Ning Yue only came to report today.

"Why hasn't Gongzi Yan come to this king?" Zhou Bian was a little puzzled.

"Yan Gao, this person is a little stubborn." Ning Yue replied casually, obviously he didn't care about this person carefully, maybe he just thought that Yan Gao was a teacher appointed by the Son of Heaven, so he called it a big deal.

And Zhou Bian is naturally very concerned about the affairs of the school, the truth of ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, in the future generations that everyone knows, Zhou Bian studied on the wall of the inner courtyard of the primary school where he studied wrote this sentence. As for the first school he ran in ancient times, Zhou Bian naturally attached importance to it, but he was a little busy some time ago and never paid enough attention to it, so when he heard Ning Yue's words, Zhou Bian decided.

"Ning Qing, since you call it a big deal, then let's go to the academy together in the afternoon to have a look."

Ning Yue nodded busily yes.

The afternoon is still a good sunny day, the faint winter day is rare and does not hesitate to sprinkle the light on the earth, the direct light of the pedestrians are warm, the winter before the pre-Qin is only afraid that it is still warmer than the later generations.

Yan Gao's academy is located in the house of a nobleman who rebelled at the beginning, and the rebellious nobles were naturally disappeared, and this mansion was also confiscated by the royal family and became Luoyang College. Unexpectedly, it was different from the first time Zhou Bian came, and before he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard a noise, Zhou Bian wanted to ask, and naturally a guard stepped forward to reply that there were dozens of young scholars making noise outside the door, but they were blocked at the door by several college doormen.

When the Son of Heaven left the palace, he naturally had a huge momentum, not to mention that the Queen Mother had specially instructed him, so before the frame of the Son of Heaven arrived, the Imperial Forest Army had already lined up in a neat queue at the gate of Luoyang Academy. When Zhou Bian's carriage arrived at the gate of the academy, he could only see the neat soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the tip of the spear of Rulin.

Walking into the hospital, I jumped into my ears, but it was the familiar sound of reading, and it seemed that I was reading a book of etiquette. In my previous life, I spent fifteen years with the sound of reading, although the content of reading was different, but at this time I listened to it very kindly, otherwise I would not have heard the sound of reading and ran to the front of Yan Gao's courtyard.

This academy was originally a courtyard of a noble family, so behind the gate was the main hall for welcoming guests, and at this time the main hall was changed into a school, that is, a classroom. When I walked outside the classroom door, I saw Yan Gao kneeling on the top, facing outward, and below was a dense pile of students, only the back could be seen. Among these students, the eldest is in his twenties, but the youngest is only seven or eight years old, and his short figure is sandwiched in the crowd, and it seems that there is more panic than thirst for knowledge. was sent to me at such a young age, I'm afraid that this child doesn't know what he's coming for, Zhou Bian thought about it, and completely forgot that his body was actually only nine years old.

In addition to Ning Yue, there were also Taishi and Tian, Taishi was called by Zhou Bian, but Tian happened to enter the palace in the afternoon to meet him, so he came together. Seeing this, the Taishi raised his feet and was about to enter to greet him, but was stopped by Zhou Bian.

The group stood at the door of the main hall, waiting quietly, but after a while, there were students who didn't like to study looking around, but suddenly found that there were many people standing at the door of the hall, and they were busy exclaiming, and immediately disturbed Yan Gao, who was shaking his head and listening to the students reading on the stage. Seeing that some students were shouting at others, Yan Gao couldn't help but be a little angry, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but he didn't want to open his eyes and look up, but he saw the king standing at the door.

bluffed Yan Gao hurriedly shouted for the students to stop, and he rolled off the stage and ran quickly to the door of the main hall, causing the students of the first hall to follow Master Yan all the way to the outside of the main hall with puzzled eyes. But seeing that Master Yan, who had always been strict, had not yet run to the door, he knelt down, made a big salute, and shouted, "Long live the king!" ”

Seeing that Yan Gao was moving so much, Zhou Bian was also taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps forward to help him up, although he had been the king for some days, and he also knew that it was enough to raise his hands to make a show, but Zhou Bian still couldn't help but help him up with his own hands.

"Yan Gongzi, it was this king's sudden visit, didn't disturb your teaching, right?"

"When the king arrives, that's the first thing, and it's a blessing for these boys to see the king today. Come, my lord, please go up to the high platform. Saying that, Yan Gao stretched out his hand and invited Zhou Bian and the others to the high platform where he was teaching just now, while Zhou Mifan and other guards followed nervously, and there were guards with crossbow arrows who quickly stood around the main hall, looking at the school with fierce eyes, frightened some children to cry, while some half-grown children were not afraid to cast curious eyes.

After inviting the king to the high platform, Yan Gao cleared his throat and shouted loudly to the following black pressure head, "Today, the Son of Heaven is coming, and Shi Naier and the other three lives are fortunate to be able to meet Tianyan." In the past, Gao also taught you the etiquette, and you should also know the way to meet the Son of Heaven, so listen to my order and worship the Son of Heaven. ”

Saying that, Yan Gao took a step back, turned his head to the audience, and faced Zhou Bian first bowed, and then knelt down and kowtowed three times, if so, three. And the following students also followed suit, that is, the child who was still crying was also pulled by the people around him, kneeling down together, but in the end whether it was a standard three bows and nine knocks, everyone had different postures, some just bowed down and some stood up, and even crowded into a ball in a dense place, and couldn't get up when they knelt down, so standing on the stage, Zhou Bian saw the following undulating like waves, although the momentum was there, but the neatness was miserable. It was easy to wait for the ceremony to be completed, and all the students knelt on the ground with Yan Gao, but it was black.

There were so many people, so Zhou Bian had to raise his hands and shout, "Flat." ”

Yan Gao took the lead and shouted again, "King Xie! As he spoke, he stood up, and the audience stumbled and crawled, and it took a while before stopping.

"I don't know what the king is coming, how is our side room talking?" Yan Gao asked respectfully.

That's how it should be, so Zhou Bian nodded.

Yan Gao turned to the following students again, and after instructing them to study by themselves, he took Zhou Bian and his party to the side room. Zhou Mi and the other guards suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there are so many people in this hall, and it is difficult for dozens of guards to take care of them.

In the side room, after sitting down, Zhou Bian spoke, "Yan Gongzi, when I first set up this academy, this king said that I would send a group of children of my ministers in the court first, and if others also want to study, they will talk about it later, why did you recruit so many people, I'm afraid there aren't hundreds, right?" ”

"There were more than 300 people. Zi said, there is no class in teaching. So at first, as long as someone came to study, I accepted it, but later I couldn't sit here, so I had to stop the door from the door. ”

"That can't be like this, so many people, what can you teach?" Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing.

"That's why I have a headache too." Yan Gao smiled bitterly. "However, I have ordered my entourage to rush to the country of Lu, and I want to invite a few of my classmates and friends when I was studying in the country of Lu, but I don't know if they are willing to come, and second, I don't know if my king is willing to accept it, so I am worried in my heart, and I want to find the sun to confess to my king, but I don't want my king to come first."

"As long as it is Confucianism, this king will naturally agree to it after some investigation." Zhou Bian smiled, of course, it would be good if he could attract scholars with talent for governing the country to come, but Zhou Bian didn't say this. "However, this king has a suggestion, if you have so many people sitting together listening to your lecture, if you speak too hard, the younger people can't understand it, if you speak too simply, and the older people are impatient, can you teach it separately?"

"What the king said is exact, but I can't be separated alone."

"Why do you have to teach alone? You can choose the good ones you taught earlier to teach the younger ones for you, and then you concentrate on teaching the older ones. Well, it's not good to divide it like this, it's still called the grade, the first grade is called the first grade, only teaching literacy and writing, and after a year it is promoted to the second grade, and then teaching the Analects and the Book of Poetry, and then the third grade, teaching the Spring and Autumn Period, the fourth grade teaching Zhou Li and the Book of Rites, the fifth grade teaching the Book of Changes, and the sixth grade teaching Shangshu. What does Yan Qing think? Zhou Bian thought and said, in fact, step-by-step is also the teaching method of later generations, but these courses are what Zhou Bian thinks randomly, but they are the experience summed up by the two thousand years of feudal dynasties in the later generations.

Yan Gao didn't understand it for a while, and only after thinking for a while did he pat his thigh, "Wonderful, the king's method is wonderful." I think it's feasible, but there are clouds of Zhou etiquette, and there are six arts to teach, such as etiquette, music, archery, control, calligraphy, and mathematics. So I thought that I had to add the music scripture, the number of techniques and the art of archery control, can the king be great? ”

Zhou Bian nodded naturally, but he didn't expect that there would be arrangements in this week's ceremony, the ancestors had arranged the courses, and even mathematics and the driving skills that later generations thought were cheap had to be taught, so why didn't he agree. So Zhou Bian nodded, "You can discuss these courses with Taishi and others, and you can prepare a copy for this king to show at that time." As for the musicians, archers, grooms, archers, carriages, etc., the king will arrange them for you, and you only need to make overall arrangements at that time. But when teaching, you must emphasize one point, and that is to respect my royal family! ”
