Chapter 534: Forced Marriage? Grand Chapter
How much potential does Xijun Baizi have, even Bai Dong himself doesn't know very well. He didn't even understand how many fans the 'new poetic style' and 'new writing' had given him, including the aristocratic ministers, the anonymous scholars whose words inspired their youth, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who hid in the boudoir and embraced Baizi paintings every day.
And this is not his most terrifying power, the most terrifying power is still in Fengming Academy; Education has always been the most demagogic force in this world, and the Western Regions are not barbaric? That is the master who can drink blood and eat raw meat, and now their descendants are learning to respect etiquette and music, every morning after shepherding the sheep will open the books given by the Bai family for free and read aloud, beginners can read aloud with relish 'Kindergarten Jungle', scholars have read the "Analects" and "Mozi" categories, and the higher stage of scholars will also be admitted to Fengming Academy, and begin to learn Bai Dong's "Sixue", "Gewuxue" and "Mathematics", and wait until these people are released one by one after graduation, as if Bai Dong is stable' Xinjiang's minions and mouthpiece.
"The world says that Dean Bai is a genius, aiding Zhao to defeat Wei, boosting Xinyin, reforming literature and poetry, and opening up Xinjiang, the capable can do anything, and those of us who are students are naturally amazed and admired, but no one thought that Dean Bai was still a master of 'internal affairs'? No, no, it's said that the dean gave the king a book that called this matter 'Ling Matchmaker', and this person is a matchmaker, and the dean is going to learn to be a matchmaker this time, do you say it's fresh? ”
The Lingtang of the Qi State Si Nong Pavilion is very idle today, and Tian Chou, who has just been promoted to Datian by Zou Ji, is sitting in the hall because of his 'honest and honest deeds and famous family'. He was smiling and talking to his deputy. The fields of Qi are equivalent to the great sinong of various countries. is already one of the five official features of the prime minister, and the important minister of the Qi State. Although he is a child of the Tian family, he can be valued so much by Tian Yinqi because he is a graduate of the first phase of Fengming Academy; There is no distinction between countries in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the mobility of the aristocratic class is more common, Bai Dong is the last in the Zhuzi Sect, and Fengming Academy is where the geniuses and celebrities are gathered, and the students who graduate from here are equivalent to the later generations of Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Haval Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and they have become sought-after goods when they return to China. In addition, Tian Chou was known for being honest when he was a minor official in the county government, and now he has brought back the 'halo' of Fengming Academy, and he has suddenly become an upstart in the court of Qi State.
The person sitting with him is 'Xiangtian' Zhong Liqing, and he is generally a student from Fengming, since the two took office, they are really a pair of good flounder; Zou Ji was very happy, and felt that the students of Fengming Academy were good, and these people could be used when they were released, and they would be of great use. It's no better than those nerds who die of reading books and talk about the theory of governing the country endlessly, but when it comes to doing things, they are useless. Now the second phase of Fengming Academy is about to graduate, and he is preparing to grab a few in person.
"What's so strange about that? The dean is the first in the world in everything, not to mention that before the dean, didn't the former Qin Guoguo's wife Li Jiang also be a matchmaker? It's just that it's the first time that the dean has been a matchmaker as a scholar in the world, and it's also for the princes of a country and our monarch as a matchmaker. However, I strongly support this marriage, Zhongli Wuyan is also a member of our Wuyan Zhongli clan, if you count it by generation, it is still my cousin. Oh, if this marriage is accomplished, wouldn't the king be my cousin? The more Zhong Liqing spoke, the more excited he became, as if he wished that Tian Yinqi would get married tomorrow and let him immediately become Tian Yinqi's relative.
"Your saltless woman is really lucky, there is a world-famous white son to be a matchmaker for her, it is said that the richest man in Qi country, Xu Gong also said that this woman is a genius in the world, and the king should marry a wife and marry a talent, regardless of the voice, this party is done by Mingjun. That means that if the king refuses, he is not a Ming Jun? There are Bai Zi and Xu Gong speaking out, and now the business community of Qi is excited, and you are going crazy to leave home without salt, but there is no voice in the court, and everyone is waiting to see the king's mind. However, in my opinion, the monarch is a little dissatisfied, and the people who have gone to the Jixia School Palace to listen to Zhong Wuyan's theory of learning are all fascinated by her essence of learning, but they are all sighing for her ugliness, how can there be such an ugly girl in the world......" Tian Chou shook his head slightly, God is really fair, giving Zhong Wuyan the world's first-class talent but also giving her the world's first ugly face, it is no wonder that the monarch is reluctant to express his position in the face of Dean Bai and Xu Gong's 'kindness'.
Tian Chou can be regarded as speaking the voice of men in the world, no matter how virtuous or foolish any man in the world is not like beautiful women? Low-value affected ~ except for sadism. Zhong Wuyan's name has actually already passed into Tian Yinqi's ears, solving the dilemma of Wuyuan with a woman's body, co-authoring "Capital" with Bai Dong, and being the first woman to take the stage to talk about in a hundred years in Jixia School Palace, not to mention being his wife, even if it is more than enough to be the wife of King Zhou, but unfortunately things in the world are not perfect, so talented women are born ugly like ghosts, it is said that everyone who listened to the lecture on the spot was overwhelmed by the content of Zhong Wuyan's lecture, and at the same time, they were all disgusted by her appearance, Even when I returned home, there were sweet dreams and nightmares, and the contradictions were not successful. Now that Bai Dong has come to be a matchmaker, he has also pulled Xu Gong, a beautiful man who makes him feel extremely complicated, Tian Yinqi can't survive, when he sees Bai Dong, he wants to hug him and bite him hard, are you kid endless, can you bully the widow and bully the widow?
However, in the face of Bai Dong and Xu Gong's 'kindness', Tian Yinqi could only bite with steel teeth, and it was difficult to say anything on the surface. Who made him put on a bright posture since he ascended the throne, punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, rewarding clean officials and clean government, saying that it is not important to women's voice and appearance, but only to be virtuous? I also once paid a private visit to Weifu, and went to Linziguan City to buy the cheapest black flour cake and devoured it, saying that it was so fragrant and fragrant. In the eyes of the Chinese people, he Tian Yinqi is a perfect Mingjun, and now he, the Mingjun, wants to say that Zhong Wuyan is virtuous, but he is too ugly, so he doesn't marry?
So now Tian Yinqi's best way is to learn from the turtle and shrink his head, and let Bai Dong and Xu Gongzui be first-class, he only pretends to be stupid and does not answer; Since Zhong Wuyan is so good, why don't you Bai Dong marry, it's too cunning! The widow married such an ugly girl, but your kid has a good reputation of recommending a wife and recommending virtuous people, so that everyone will come to thank you? There is no such cheap in the world!
"Hey, hey. Now I'm afraid that the king will marry and marry. If you don't marry, you will marry. The salt-free bell leaves home to make a national relative! ”
Zhong Liqing said with a smile: "The monarch now has only one lady of the country to win Shu, every time a minister persuades him to fill the inner palace a little, the monarch always says that the Qi country is in ruins, and he is not in the mood to set up a harem, and he also said that marrying a wife should be based on talent and virtue, and it is the Ming monarch's doing." It's good now, Zhong Wuyan is my Qi country's prominent family, and he has unparalleled talent and dean Bai as a matchmaker. What else do you have to say? It is necessary to know that Dean Bai's recommendation for marriage has now appeared in the "Daqin Times" and caused a sensation in the world, and the whole of China is paying attention to what the king will do, if he refuses to marry such a talented and virtuous woman, it will be a slap in the face and will be despised by the world. Let's take a look at today's Times, not to mention the "Daqin Times", even the "Daqi Times" has set up a column for this purpose, and the nobles of various countries are discussing this matter, and even many important ministers of other countries think that the monarch should accept the kindness of Dean Bai and Duke Xu. Marrying a talented girl Zhong Wuyan! If you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that half of these nobles and ministers are Dean Bai's business partners, and the other half are classmates of my Fengming Academy. After they left the academy, they were either reused by their own country or sought by other countries, and they were all talents of my Fengming family, where is there any reason not to support the dean? ”
"Oh?"
Tian Chou rubbed his hands, took the newspaper in Zhong Liqing's hand and read it carefully, nodded slightly, and said: "I remember that when I was in the academy, the dean said that I hope that we will integrate the heads of a hundred schools of thought is to lead the world with what we have learned. After I left the college, although I held important positions in various countries, I only saw one country in my eyes. Definitely! Although we college students have the idea of family and country in our eyes, this country may not be a country and a family, at least it should be a big country like China and everyone in the world! I also believe that those who can be a big country are powerful and thoughtful! Therefore, although it is Qi Chen, at this time, we should support the dean, so it is in vain to study in Fengming Academy, do you say yes or no? ”
Zhong Liqing stared at him for a long time, and sighed: "No wonder you can be 'Datian', but I am just a deputy, senior brother is really powerful...... If you want to support Dean Bai's support, why bother to find such a lot of reasons? To put it simply, we must support what the dean supports, and we must oppose what the dean opposes! What's more, Zhong Wuyan is indeed a talented woman, she is the wife of Qi Guo, which is beneficial and harmless to Qi Guo, and she is not ashamed of the king. I'm going to contact the senior brothers and disciples of the 'Fengming Department' in the DPRK and China, and everyone must respond to the dean and urge the king to accept this marriage! ”
In the pre-Qin era, the concept of family and country was actually very distorted, with the expansion of the scale of the war, the loss of tens of thousands of people at every turn, the Li people more and more hated the enemy country, and the concepts of "Qin people", "Wei people", and "Zhao people" began to become deep-rooted. But the relative aristocratic scholar class will not see it this way, these people are all influenced by the hundred schools of thought, all of them want to prescribe medicine for Huaxia and cure serious diseases, as long as they can realize their ambitions, the nobles and scholars of Zhao State can go to Qin State as ministers without hesitation, and the students of Chu State can also go to Wei State to seek a chance to get ahead, and the famous minister Su Qin Zhang Yi Gongsun Yan is not so? The most bullish is Gongsun Yan, this Wei man went to Qin to do great good, killed tens of thousands of his compatriots, and then returned to Wei without blushing and heartbeat to be the commander of the five countries to attack Qin, such a concept of family and country may make future generations collapse directly.
Since the aristocratic class has such a distorted concept of family and country, it is not strange that Tian Chou can say this, but Zhong Liqing is more simple and direct than him, since the dean wants the king to marry Zhong Wuyan, we students should wave their flags and shout, what else can we hesitate about? It's so unpleasant for you to talk in circles like this!

"Now the old man finally understands why you want to vigorously open Fengming Academy, and also want students to integrate with hundreds of schools, in addition to learning what they have learned, but also to learn your 'historicist materialism', when it comes to graduation, they also need to write a 'graduation thesis', and a few masters in the academy judge, if the score is not enough, you have to retake it to graduate? Only the students taught in this way will abandon the small family and the small country, and instead vigorously support you, Dean Bai, only pity Tian Yinqi......"
In Xu Yuan's Tingtao Pavilion, there are three masters who accompany Bai Dong Tingtao, one is Yan Jianyan's old master, one is Meng Ke, and the other is last year when he resigned from the academy and was invited by Han Hou to be Han Xiang's Shen Buxian; Yan and Meng's two masters have been lonely on the sea since they were fooled by Bai Dong to go to the Japanese island, fortunately, those Japanese monkeys are all studious, admiring the Wenhua style of the Heavenly Dynasty, everyone is proud to worship under the two masters, the two masters imitate Confucius, and they opened the museum in Iwami to teach apprentices, and selected hundreds of Japanese students who have been proficient in Chinese writing and language in the past two years, and listed 360 disciples and 72 sages, but the content of the teaching is not Confucius's 'The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy' but' The so-called program of the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister is not disloyal, the father wants the son to die, and the son does not die and is not filial', this kind of theory that violates the people's ~ main idea of accumulating people as sheep has caused misery in China, but it is extremely deceptive, and the two masters have taught a lot, and they will inevitably be a little shaken, not to mention those Japanese monkeys.
The 'sages' under the two masters came out of the apprentices, and naturally they helped spread the evil scourge of their compatriots in the future, Yan Lao Fuzi and Meng Ke moved the idea of returning home, just when Ma Qiao brought a hundred ships to transport silver, so they took a boat to come together, I heard that Bai Dong was in Qi country, so he rushed to come, not that Bai Dong's charm was amazing, so that Yan Lao Master tossed and turned to think of Jun Nianjun, it was really this kid who was too bad, and deceived them to the Japanese island to blow the sea breeze for most of the year, this account is really not countable.
Hearing Lao Yan Jian say this, Shen Buxian sneered, and raised his eyes to look at Bai Dong: "Yan Zong is right, but now not only those Fengming students in Qi State, but even Fengming students in Wei, South Korea, and Chu State have responded to Bai Zi in various countries, plus the court of Qi State and the business community are raging, Tian Yinqi, the guy who loves to play Mingjun, has nothing to say this time, if he refuses to marry that Zhong girl, I am afraid that he will become a faint monarch in the eyes of the people." It's just that Bai Zi so strongly recommended Zhong Wuyan to enter the Qi Palace, I'm afraid that he doesn't just pity his talent? Bullying Tian Yinqi like this, isn't he afraid of breaking the alliance of Qin Qi and turning from a friend to an enemy? "After all, he is the minister of South Korea, and what Shen Buxi is looking forward to the most is the bad relationship between Qin and Qi, although South Korea also has a lot of cooperation with Qin State, and the national economy is inseparable from the Bai family trading company, but the more so, the more he has a huge sense of crisis as the Korean minister, always thinking about what to change, for South Korea living in Shandong, the alliance of the two powerful countries of Qin and Qi is not a good thing.
Bai Dong raised his eyes and looked at him, chuckling unconsciously. (To be continued......)
