Chapter 182: Lizheng Academy!
Therefore, if the person who can enter Lizheng Academy is not highly talented, then he must have a strong identity background. In a word, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, ordinary people can't enter Lizheng Academy.
This Lizheng Academy was not built in Chang'an City, but outside the Guangshun Gate in the east of Chang'an City. After all, an institution like a seowon is not suitable for building in a noisy city.
The area of Chang'an City is very large, and when Lu Chen came to Guangshun Gate, the sky was already a little dark.
Passing through the Guangshun Gate, Lu Chen, under the guidance of passers-by, walked along a road towards the woods in the distance. Soon, as he walked through the sparse woods in front of him, he saw the distinctive buildings in the dusk.
After Lu Chen approached, he saw that above the spacious courtyard gate in front of him, the four big characters 'Lizheng Academy' were written. The handwriting is very majestic, and there is a momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers and being self-respecting. Lu Chen guessed that this was most likely written by Tang Xuanzong himself. Otherwise, it would be impossible and undesirable for others to reveal such great ambitions.
The courtyard is surrounded by willow trees, which ripple slightly in the breeze, full of poetry. Probably because the area is remote, there are very few pedestrians around, which makes the surroundings seem very peaceful.
Lu Chen looked at the other side of the academy, and saw that there was a river flowing slowly around the academy, and there were a few people sitting or standing by the river, as if they were talking about something, Lu Chen guessed that they were some literati and writers even if they were not poets.
The surroundings are very beautiful and so peaceful. Even Lu Chen, after coming here, he felt a burst of relaxation, which made him a little disgusted with the noisy market life.
I didn't enjoy the scenery too much here, after all, it was not early now, and Lu Chen still had something to do. He walked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and when he reached the courtyard gate, two young men who looked like scholars stopped him.
The two of them first bowed their hands respectfully to Lu Chen, and then one of them asked, "This son, I don't know what you are doing when you come to Lizheng Academy?" ”
Lu Chen also saluted the two of them back, and then said, "I wonder if the two of you know a person named Lu Yan?" ”
Hearing Lu Yan, the eyes of the two scholars showed admiration almost at the same time, and one of them said, "Of course I know, Lu Yan Gongzi is one of the talents in our academy, I heard that this time Lu Chengongzi was used as a representative of the academy to participate in the competition."
Seeing that the two knew Lu Yan, Lu Chen said again, "Then can you trouble the two of you to announce him and say that his brother is here?"
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the two scholars widen at the boss, and then glanced at Lu Chen from head to foot in a somewhat weird way, and then said, "You.... You are the son of Lu Chen!? ”
Looking at the incredulous looks of the two scholars, Lu Chen said very naturally, "Yes!" Why, what's not like it? Lu Chen secretly said in his heart: This is the academy, they shouldn't listen to those street storytellers!
Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, the two scholars hurriedly said, "No... It's just that I suddenly saw you in person, and I had an unreal feeling" After speaking, one of them also stepped forward and touched Lu Chen's arm, and muttered in a low voice, "This is no different from ordinary people, why can it be so powerful?" ”
Lu Chen "............"
The two scholars did not entangle Lu Chen too much, and one of them said, "Lu Chen, please wait a moment, I will inform Lu Yan Gongzi" After speaking, the scholar immediately walked towards the academy.
And the other person still looked at Lu Chen with that kind of adoring gaze, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Lu Chen asked him about some basic information about the academy, which was similar to what Lu Chen knew before. There are indeed many celebrities in the academy, but most of these people don't usually live here, but only use it as a temporary residence. It's not surprising to think about it, most of these celebrities like to travel around the mountains and rivers, so naturally they won't shrink here in Chang'an. Moreover, Chang'an was too political, and these literati were very liberal and few were willing to be controlled by the imperial court.
However, although the vast majority of literati only use this place as a temporary residence, there are still a lot of celebrities and scholars gathered here every day, after all, there are many literati in this Chang'an city every day. Most of these literati who like landscapes don't like the hustle and bustle of the market. As a result, Lizheng Academy became the only residence of these people.
Although the academy is not very large from the courtyard gate, according to the scholar's description, there are many pavilions behind the academy. It is said that it can accommodate more than 1,000 people at the same time. It can be seen that the internal area is still very large.
Lu Chen was learning about the basic situation of the academy from this scholar, and another scholar had already returned, and behind him, Lu Yan walked quickly towards this side with a happy face.
Coming to Lu Chen's face, Lu Yan smiled and said, "I don't see it, the strength of the second brother is so strong?" Now, look at who else dares to say you're a piece of rubbish, haha! “
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Lu Chen said very modestly, "Big brother said that I was just lucky to win in the end." "Indeed, Lu Chen didn't lie, he was able to win the last game at that time, and there was indeed some luck in it.
However, Lu Yan didn't believe this, so he just heard him laugh and say, "Second brother, you are too modest!" Besides, what if you win by luck? All that people value is results. When my father learns the news, he will be very happy! ”
After chatting with his eldest brother about his own affairs for a while, Lu Chen suddenly changed his words and said, "Big brother, we will start fighting in a few days, do you feel confident?" ”
Hearing Wen Dou, he saw that Lu Yan's face suddenly had a little more solemnity, and he said slowly, "I still have the confidence to enter the top three, but it's just that it's not easy to win the first place!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at Lu Yan with some surprise, with his eldest brother's ability and reputation, he should be a strong contender for the first place in this cultural fight, why is he so unconfident in himself now?
Seeing the look of doubt on Lu Chen's face, Lu Yan explained helplessly, "Although this Lizheng Academy is personally established by His Majesty today, it is also known as the first academy in the Tang Dynasty. However, although there are many literati and writers here, there are many knowledgeable people. However, Lai Ching College is not very good at imparting knowledge. Therefore, although on the surface it seems that Lai Cheng College is stronger than those other colleges. In fact, several other colleges are not bad at teaching, and even the students taught by some local houses are not necessarily worse than us. ”
After listening to Lu Yan's words, Lu Chen nodded suddenly. At this time, I saw a smile on Lu Yan's face again, and said, "Since you are here, I will take you around to visit our academy." Among the academies near Chang'an City, the environment of Lizheng Academy is the best! (To be continued.) )
