Perhaps it was the education he received in his previous life that made Cao Peng always have some disgust with the academy of the ancients.

In all the TV series, he is a bad old man, with a group of children, shaking his head, and he is also sour and rotten.

However, when he actually sat in the lecture hall, he had a different feeling.

Speaking of which, I have to mention one person, that is, the contemporary master of scripture, Zheng Xuan. In the ninth year of Yanxi, that is, in 166 AD, the first disaster of the party in the late Eastern Han Dynasty occurred. The reason for the incident lies in the conflict between the scholars and the eunuchs, in this disaster of the party, more than 200 scholars, such as Li Ying, Chen Shi, Du Mi, etc., were arrested in prison, and a reward was offered for the arrest of the fugitives.

Subsequently, due to the support of the foreign relatives group, Emperor Huan ordered the release of more than 200 people including Li Ying.

But soon after, the eunuch group launched a counterattack and conspiracy to frame them, so that Li Ying, Du Mi and others were imprisoned and executed. In the first year of Emperor Ling's Jianning, that is, in 168 A.D., all states and counties investigated the party, and all the party members and their protégés, fathers and sons, brothers were implicated, which was the so-called second party disaster. The so-called party members, that is, regarded as party members, are imprisoned, cut off from their way to the office, and cannot be used as officials. At that time, Zheng Xuan was Du Mi's former official, and he was appreciated and promoted by Du Mi, so he was also regarded as a member of the party.

In the fourth year of Jianning, Zheng Xuan was imprisoned.

After being imprisoned, Zheng Xuan closed his door and practiced in seclusion.

The scriptures of the Han Dynasty are divided into modern and ancient. After Qin Shi Huang burned the book, some Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty recited some scriptures from memory, and sorted them out with the common script at that time, that is, the official book, which was called the modern Wenjing; During the period of Emperor Cheng and Emperor Wai of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang and his son found the "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" written in ancient Chinese from some books, plus some scriptures locked on the wall of the hole, as well as "Mao's Poems" and other works, forming the ancient school of scriptures. Since the Han Dynasty, the conflict between the two schools of thought has never stopped.

Zheng Xuanchu learned Jingyi and Gongyang Spring and Autumn from the Fifth Yuan (personal name), and belonged to the modern Wenjing school; Later, he followed Zhang Gongzu to learn "Zhou Guan" and "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", which belonged to the ancient school of literature and classics. He fused the present and the ancient, and in the years of imprisonment, he created the 'Zheng Xue' school and commented on a hundred scriptures. As soon as Zheng Xue's scriptures came out, it immediately caused a sensation. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the scholars began to abandon the original ancient and modern scriptures, and instead advocated Zheng Xue's scriptures, and made it a 'Neo-Confucianism of the world'.

Fifteen years have passed.

Zheng Xue's scriptures have become the mainstream, and the teaching of classes is based on Zheng Xue's scriptures.

Hu Zhao was born in the fourth year of Xiping, and in the process of studying, he was also influenced by Zheng Xue's scriptures, so the explanation is based on Zheng Xuan's "Treatise". However, Hu Zhao was a well-educated man, and when he explained the scriptures, he would inevitably add his own opinions.

From shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, easy to understand.

Cao Peng found that he listened to it well-organized...... When reciting the "Analects", it is also very interesting to combine the very characteristic rhythm of the ancients, yin and yang.

Unconsciously, one afternoon passed, Zheng Xuan took a small mallet and gently struck the bronze bell, which also signaled the end of class. According to the rules of the college, there is one hour in the afternoon and one hour in the afternoon, leaving half an hour for dinner. By midnight, all the day's homework will end.

Cao Peng and Sima Yi got up and walked out of the lecture hall.

The other students gathered in twos and threes, eating and chatting.

There is a saying that food is silent, sleep is silent.

However, for this mountain people, there don't seem to be so many rules.

"That Cao Peng, I heard that he is an official of the imperial court?"

"Well, I inquired when I went outside the mountain yesterday, and the cavalry lieutenant is even older than our county magistrate...... I also heard that this surnamed Cao is quite famous and not an ordinary person. ”

"If you are in the office, why do you come to study again?"

"This ...... Who knows? I guess I'm also a high-ranking student, so I want to get some fame from my teacher......"

"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Cao is different from that person. Yesterday, my father went to help him build a house, and he gave my father a piece of wild boar leg and a jar of wine. Cao Duwei is quite kind, his masters who have passed through the world from a glance, how can they be compared? ”

The 'one' in the students' mouths is Sima Yi.

It can be seen that Sima Yi's popularity in this academy is not very good.

At this moment, I saw a student walk in from outside the door, carrying two heavy food boxes.

"Come on, come on, Cao Gongzi has a treat...... Hehe, he gave us two deer legs from the elk he had just hunted at noon. It's all baked, everyone, come on, or it'll be gone. ”

The lid of the food box is opened, and the smell of meat is fragrant.

Although the mountain people also hunt, to be honest, most of the prey they hunt has to be exchanged for daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

As a result, they have little opportunity to eat meat.

Several students hesitated, couldn't help the smell of meat, and got up and came over.

Someone takes the lead, and someone immediately follows. In the blink of an eye, the inside and outside of the courtyard door was lively, and the students ate with relish.

"Youxue, why do you bother?"

Sima Yi and Cao Peng were eating together and couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps, in his opinion, Cao Peng's behavior is inevitably flattering.

Cao Peng smiled: "It's better to be happy alone, than to be happy with everyone." After that, we will live here, and it will always be good to have a better relationship. ”

"It's better to be alone than to be happy?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it!

After ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dinner, Cao Peng and Sima Yi returned to the school again, obviously feeling different.

The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short. Regardless of whether these mountain students really accept Cao Peng, at least on the surface, they show some closeness.

"Captain Cao, thank you!"

"Yes, Captain Cao, has your house been repaired? If you need help, just say it. ”

“……”

Greetings like this come and go.

Even Zhou Qi, who had a conflict with Cao Peng, couldn't help nodding his head when he saw Cao Peng.

Cao Peng smiled and answered one by one, which made the students more enthusiastic.

Sima Yi frowned, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes. He has been in this academy for a whole year, and he has not seen these students, such an attitude. Previously, he and the mountain people were very different, so he didn't make any friends so far. Or rather, he didn't bother to deal with these mountain people at all. Yesterday, he told Cao Peng about the customs of the mountain people, and today, he found that he wanted Cao Peng to ask for advice, this way of getting along with people...... No wonder Cao Peng can have such a reputation at such a young age.

He is also proud, far away and strict, close and gentle...... In Sima Yi's heart, he couldn't help but secretly admire.

At this time, Hu Zhao walked into the lecture hall.

Seeing the extremely warm scene in this lecture hall, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"At noon, we talked about the township party.

Today is the end of the month, and according to the rules, I will review your income for this month. In this month, we talked about "Shuowen", learned "Filial Piety", and explained "Treatise...... So today, I'm going to review your article. Today's proposition is ......"

Hu Zhao smiled slyly.

"I know that you must think that I will use the "Analect" as a proposition."

Sima Yi's face changed, and Cao Peng's face also changed.

"But I don't want you to get your way, so I'll take the lotus pond outside the window as the theme and make a good article."

In the lecture hall, there was a bang.

Cao Peng turned his head to look at Sima Yi, but saw Sima Yi's bitter face, as if he was a little at a loss.

Hu Zhao is an interesting person. He told me yesterday what he was going to talk about today, and he knew that Sima Yi would definitely remind me...... Does this count as a bright plank road, and a dark Chen Cang?

Cao Peng couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

It's just that the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

frowned and grabbed the pen, revealing a deep groan.

Sima Yi looked at the small lotus pond outside the window, stunned; In the hall, there are more students, or scratching their ears and cheeks, or meditating, in different forms.

Sighing, Cao Peng said in his heart: Do you want to copy a large copy of the eternal article again?

He picked up his pen and wrote silently on the paper in front of him...... Speaking of which, I really have to thank Huang Yueying. Previously, Cao Peng's dog crawling words couldn't be taken at all. However, since last year, under the urging of Huang Yueying, he has begun to copy the Fati. Except for the time when the Quyang battle in the middle stopped, he has been practicing hard until now. Although it is not said that calligraphy is a masterpiece, it can also be used. Moreover, after the battle of Quyang, Cao Peng's calligraphy obviously has a more aggressive atmosphere. The iron pen and silver hook are quite disciplined, so much so that Huang Yueying also thinks that he has made great progress.

The flowers of water, land, grass and trees are very lovely.

To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.

Chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers.

Writing this, Cao Peng didn't know how to write it down. Tao Yuanming in the original text was still a small tadpole at this time, and in the world, there seems to be no one famous for Aiju. He hesitated, thought for a moment, picked up his pen and continued to write.

The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard; The love of the lotus, who is the same giver; The love of peony is suitable for everyone!

After writing, he let out a sigh of relief and put down the pen in his hand. Turning his head to look, Sima Yizheng blushed, as if he was brewing feelings, while the others either lowered their heads and pondered, or looked at the lotus pond outside the window, at a loss. Hu Zhao sat behind the case and turned a deaf ear to the faces of all beings in the hall. He was holding a book and reading it with relish. However, the corner of the eye shows everything in the hall at a glance.

Seeing Cao Peng writing with a pen, Hu Zhao was stunned.

When Cao Peng put down the pen, he showed doubts again.

As for Cao Peng, he focused on Sima Yi.

Cao's father and son, with outstanding literary talents, created an literary style, and are a generation of everyone; On the contrary, Sima Yi's father and son didn't seem to leave anything special. In addition to the erosion of the East and West and the Jin Dynasty, Sima's greatest contribution seems to be the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Five Chaos of China.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Sima's evaluation in history is far inferior to that of Cao's father and son.

Looking at Sima Yi now, Cao Peng also feels that at least in terms of literary talent, Sima Yi is not good at. However, he quite enjoyed Sima Yi's flushed face and suffocating his articles. After all, it is also interesting to be able to admire the famous Tsukasa Tiger in later generations.

"Youxue, have you written it?"

Sima Yi held back for a long time, turned his head to look at Cao Peng and looked at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Cao Peng nodded, put his finger to his lips, and shushed. Pointing to the pen and paper in front of Sima Yi, he smiled slightly, without words.

Sima Yi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

How long has it been?

Not even half a pillar of incense, Cao Peng actually finished writing!

The speed of this thinking is too amazing, and I am afraid that even a teacher may not be able to do this.

At the same time, I scolded in my heart: Since you have such a good literary talent, why do you come to study? Doesn't that make me wait for ugliness?

A jealousy that I had never felt before, quietly planted a seed in my heart.

He smiled, lowered his head again, and ignored Cao Peng.

"Cao Peng, are you done?"

Hu Zhao suddenly asked.

Cao Peng hurriedly bowed down and stood up, "Mr. Hui's words, the student has already finished." ”

"Show me."

In the amazed eyes of the students, Cao Peng stood up and respectfully presented the article to Hu Zhao.

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes and glanced at it first.

raised his head, looked at Cao Peng and said, "The evil qi is too heavy." ”

"Huh?"

"In your strokes, the evil spirit is too heavy!" Hu Zhao said in a deep voice: "But come to think of it, this is related to the fact that you were in the army at the beginning, and your murderous spirit was exposed, which made your words neat, but it was unacceptable." Friends learn, and then need to cultivate Haoran's qi to calm this evil spirit. ”

Cao Peng's face crossed and said respectfully: "Students are taught." ”

Hu Zhao sighed and began to review the article.

It's just seventy-five words, but every word enters his heart. At first, Hu Zhao's face was expressionless, but gradually, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He raised his head and looked at Cao Peng.

"Youxue, from tomorrow, you need to wear white clothes."

This sentence also represents Hu Zhao's official recognition of Cao Peng.

Sima Yi's face changed on the side, his jealousy became heavier, and at the same time, he was even more curious.

What did Cao Peng write in this short period of time? Is the teacher so satisfied? All of a sudden, he was allowed to listen to the lecture in white clothes?

lowered his head and looked at the article he had just written, Sima Yi's face became a little difficult to look at.

At the same time, he was a little apprehensive. I don't know if this article can get into the eyes of the teacher? If you can't, you'll be a loser!

In April of the fourth year of ―――――――――――――――――――――――――― Jian'an, Cao Yingqin led a large army and entered the river.

The general Shi Lian captured the Hanoi army, and then attacked the shooting dog with Cao Ren, and killed the former Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang General Zhenggu. Subsequently, Cao Ying crossed the river and continued to besiege the shooting dogs. The former Hanoi Governor Shi Xue Hong led his troops to surrender. In Hanoi, there is a saying that "the south rejects the danger of the tiger's prison, and the north depends on the solidity". After Cao Ying captured Hanoi County, he appointed Zhang Liao as the Taishou of Hanoi, and led his troops to garrison shooting dogs, which has strengthened control.

However, at this moment, there was an emergency from Guangling.

Sun Ce crossed the river and attacked the Jiangshui Temple, and his troops came to Guangling County. Sun He led his troops to capture the Jiangshui Temple, waved his troops north, and went straight to Hailing County.

For a time, the situation in Huainan suddenly became tense.
