Chapter 24 Elective Courses
"What did you say?"
"He said he was going to the library and might be back a little later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Ouyang Tong saw Li Yuze shouting at Han Huo, but Han Huo had already walked out of the courtyard where the dormitory was located, so he helped repeat it.
"I know."
It turned out that Li Yuze shouted at Han Huo, not because she didn't hear what Han Huo said, but because she was angry.
Su Muqing didn't pay attention to their conversation, but lay down, his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
Li Yuze saw that Han Hui's jade pendant was still in his hand, so he thought to himself, "Isn't this his jade pendant?" I don't care at all. So, she got up and put the jade pendant on Han Hui's bookshelf.
When Han Huo came to the library building, the door of the building was not closed, so he thought to himself: "Is there still someone reading in the building at this time?" So, he gently pushed the door open, walked in, and climbed the stairs to the second floor.
"Eunuch, it's you!"
"Han Confucian, why did you come to the library to read books so late?"
"Supervisor, the students have been training on the court for a day today, and they want to come here to be quiet."
At this time, Han Huo came to Li Nanfeng's side, and when he saw Li Nanfeng's signal, he sat down.
When Han Huo saw Li Nanfeng flipping through a book of poems, he said, "Jian Cheng also likes to read this book." ”
"Oh, I don't like it, I'm just flipping through it casually."
"When I was flipping through this book some time ago, I came across a poem called 'Drunk'."
"Do you mean the poem?"
"Exactly."
When Han Huo looked down and saw that Jian Cheng was flipping through the poem, he replied.
"This poem was written by an old friend of mine, who left it for me without saying goodbye."
"It turns out that the old uncle is an old friend of the prisoner."
"What old uncle?"
"Oh, that's right, Eunuch. Yesterday, Dr. Su asked us to go to Dongshi to print some books, but we couldn't print them for a while, so we went to a wine shop for dinner, and we happened to meet the old uncle there. ”
After Han Huo finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, hurriedly changed the topic, and said: "Oh, what, I knew this old uncle before, and I saw him drinking with his friends yesterday, so I stepped forward to say hello. ”
Li Nanfeng knew that Su Derong often sent students or his teaching assistants and direct lectures to Dongshi to print some books, so he was not surprised by this, and he would not care about what Han Hui was worried about just now, because what he cared about most now was the sudden appearance of his old friend.
"You mean Wang Ji appeared in East City?"
Han Hui saw that Li Nanfeng was so excited, so he nodded again and again.
"In the past ten years, he has lived in seclusion and resolutely not come to Chang'an, and at this time he suddenly appeared in Dongshi, what is the matter?"
Li Nanfeng thought for a while, but he didn't come up with anything to do, so he asked Han Huo again, "You mean he's drinking with his friends, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"Do you know what his friend's name is?"
"Listening to the old uncle's introduction, his name seems to be Tang Lin."
"Tang Lin? Is that the scrivener in the Imperial History Terrace? ”
"Yes, I heard from the old uncle, he is indeed on duty in the Imperial Historical Observatory now."
"He was working under Prince Yin back then, although I was friends with him, but at that time each was his own master, and since then we have not interacted with each other, if it were not for the current emperor's generosity, pardoned and reactivated some of Prince Yin's party members, how could he sit in this official position today."
Han Hui was very puzzled when he saw Li Nanfeng so indignant.
"Don't talk about that, tonight we won't talk about the past, only about the present."
Then, Li Nanfeng and Han Huo talked about some big and small things in the Tang Dynasty, and because of each other's speculation, the two talked about it late at night in the library before leaving.
On the second day, Su Derong explained the teaching content to the four Confucian students in class, and asked each Confucian student to take the course by himself.
"The Book of Rites" and "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" are the major classics, the "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li" and "Rites" are the middle classics, "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram" and "The Biography of the Spring and Autumn Valley Liang" are the minor classics, and the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects" require every Confucian scholar to have both knowledge.
Guozixue, Taixue and the Four Classics have opened all the Confucian classics courses, and each Confucian student can pass through the Second Classics, the Third Classics, and the Five Classics according to his own interests, aspirations, and abilities, but those who have passed the two classics must take one major classic, one minor classic, or two middle classics, and those who have passed the three classics must take one of the major, middle, and minor three classics, and those who have passed the five classics must have all the major classics, and one of the remaining classics. At the same time, it is necessary to practice affiliation, read books such as "Chinese", "Shuowen", "Zilin", "Sancang" and "Erya", and also learn current affairs.
"There is one requirement, that is, the small scripture you choose must be "Zhou Yi".
When the Confucian scholars heard Su Derong's words, they couldn't sit still anymore, and they talked one after another.
"Doesn't that mean respecting our interests?"
"Yes, Xiaojing is not only "Zhou Yi", why did we choose it."
"That's it, "Zhou Yi" is so profound, this can't be Dr. Su's own request, right?"
The Confucian students around Han Huo were all talking, but he sat silently, as if the matter of choosing a course was not his trouble, of course, there was also Su Muqing.
"I know everyone has objections, but this is the emperor's decision."
Su Derong raised his voice and said, at first he did not let the discussion be suppressed, but then as soon as the Confucian scholars heard the word "emperor", their discussion immediately stopped.
"It's all quiet, isn't it, it's time to listen to me," Su Derong saw everyone sitting in their seats, and continued, "The reason why there is a violation of the system and the selection of new Confucian students this year is that the emperor hopes to select someone from among you who can understand the "Zhou Yi", don't you understand?" ”
After Su Derong finished speaking, the Confucian scholars below began to discuss again.
"Really? If I can pass "Zhou Yi", I will be appreciated by the emperor, and then I will not be far from entering the court. ”
"You just daydream, even if you can pass "Zhou Yi", you may not be favored by the emperor."
"What about entering the court, what about passing "Zhou Yi", I just want to stay here and cultivate myself."
"Don't quarrel, listen to me, could it be that Dr. Su is scaring us with the emperor?"
"No, Dr. Su doesn't have the guts."
The Confucian scholars around Han Huo began to talk again, still chattering. At this time, in addition to Han Huo, the Confucian scholars who sat quietly in their seats and did not speak also included Li Yuze, Ouyang Tong, Su Muqing, Cui Zhiquan and Xu Ang.
