Chapter 295: Guozi Guards (2)

Wang Zifu was wearing an official uniform, standing in the front row, respectfully greeting Lu Chengqi, seemingly completely forgetting the previous unhappiness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Yes, above the court, this little old man also echoed Li Ran in the imperial history to squeeze out some officials. Fortunately, Lu Chengqi was generous and didn't bother with him.

Besides, traditional Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, and the princes of heaven and earth should be respected. As a traditional Confucian scholar, how dare Wang Zifu hold a grudge against the emperor?

If there is anything good about Confucianism, it is in teaching and educating people. Unlike the Ming Dynasty's distorted science, Confucianism's achievements lie in shaping individual personality. The five constants of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" are the basic principles of life. It's not a bondage, it's a reminder to learn to be a human being. If Confucianism becomes a constraint and relies on secular ideas to restrain people's behavior, it will be sour. Orthodox Confucianism begins with self-cultivation, and the real Confucianism has always been three provinces a day.

Lu Chengqi nodded, signaling that many prisoners did not need to be polite. When I looked up, I found that the three protagonists Li Ran, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Zai had arrived, but there was no surprise in my heart, which was the embodiment of "faith".

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" are only the five constants, as well as "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and letting" and "loyalty, filial piety, bravery, shame, and honesty", so Confucianism is not lacking blood, but only the heart that is becoming increasingly arrogant and looking down on other doctrines. You must know that even Old Master Confucius has asked Lao Tzu for advice! The saints still want to ask for advice, why are you Confucian students who have not yet understood a thing or two so conceited?

Lu Chengqi knew that perhaps the status of Confucianism was too detached, otherwise, it would not have developed to this point.

In fact, the happiest thing is none other than the prisoners of these national prisons. These prisoners of the Guozijian are equivalent to the highest university students in later generations, can they not be excited when they see the supreme leader!

Lu Chengqi's youth does not hinder their worship. For such a legendary emperor, he was able to "endure" for 16 years before he became a blockbuster, seized power, and then defeated the Khitan, such a great achievement has never been achieved since Wenzong!

Lu Chengqi is also blue-eyed to these Guozi prison students. Dashun's Guozijian is different from other dynasties, even if your father is the prime minister of the dynasty, you can't enter without taking the exam. Now there is no prime minister, and the son of the head of the cabinet cannot come in by privilege.

Generally speaking, students who have passed the examination twice but failed to take the palace examination can apply to the imperial court to enter. After verifying that the three generations are correct, the students will be able to enter the Guozijian to study.

Guozijian recruits students very strictly, and many people who have repeatedly missed the move have to sharpen their heads to come in. Because if you enter the Guozijian and take the imperial examination again, the chance of a sergeant is as high as 20%!

Don't underestimate the 20 percent chance, you must know that in the triennial imperial examination, there are only more than 200 people who can pass the Jinshi examination. There are about 40 people in the country, how can these scholars flock to them?

Therefore, the two hundred or so Guozi prison students are all top students of Dashun, and the first few times they failed were just a matter of luck. It just so happens that a reviewer doesn't like your handwriting, or your style, and you get brushed off. If you're lucky, even if the article isn't good, you can still get a few Jinshi from the bottom.

Lu Chengqi said: "Since everything is here, let's start, I can't wait." ā€

This sentence is sincere, the great Confucian Zhang Zai met Wang Anshi, an idealistic reformer in the official history, plus a little-known diehard Li Ran in the official history, the play of these three people is absolutely wonderful!

At the same time, Lu Chengqi can also argue about Confucianism in his understanding through three Confucian bachelors with similar levels, so as to see whether Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi are as good as the history books say.

When Wang Zifu heard Lu Chengqi say this, he calmly turned around and respectfully invited Lu Chengqi to enter the national prison first. The predecessor of Guozijian was Jingzhaofu Academy in the former dynasty, and it was changed to Guozijian after the Dashun Dynasty. Entering the main gate of Guozijian, the first thing that catches your eye is the statue of a saint, the stone statue of Confucius is lifelike, and you can see that it is from everyone's handwriting. Even if Lu Chengqi doesn't know the art of stone carving, at a glance, the lines can be carved so softly, which is no longer comparable to the stone carving of later generations.

On the main hall of Guozijian, a plaque is written in block letters with the words "Mingtang Piyong". Although it is a single building, it contains two meanings of the name of the building. Mingtang is a place where the emperor issued decrees, accepted pilgrimages, and offered sacrifices to the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth. Biyong is the circular ditch surrounded by the outside of the Ming Hall, and the surrounding water is Yong, which means that it is perfect. The round statue is a jade ritual vessel dedicated to the emperor, symbolizing the perfection of the king's Taoism. The four words "Mingtang Piyong" can be said to be full of meaning.

"Mingtang Piyong" shows Lu Chengqi's familiar biaxial symmetrical pavilion, and a large-scale square room is built on the central platform, which is the "Tai Room", and the eaves of the roof are about to rise to the sky. But it is precisely in this way that the charm of ancient Chinese architecture is reflected. A small room is built on the small rammed earth platform on the outside, and together with the Tai Room, it forms the five rooms on the upper floor of the central building. The middle floor of the central building, a hall is built on each side of the platform, these four halls are Mingtang, Qingyang, Zongzhang, Xuantang, and the upper floor has five rooms and four halls to form nine rooms.

The place where I want to go now is naturally the largest Tai Chamber, and I am waiting for the debate.

Led by the Guozijian Siye, Lu Chengqi stepped into this highest university in the true sense of the word for the first time, with an ancient style and ancient system, and a scent of ink faintly entered the end of his nose, Lu Chengqi couldn't help but secretly said: "In comparison, Royal University still lacks the foundation!" ā€

It is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to say that it is not easy to say, that is, it is necessary to have the efforts of several generations, and it is also necessary to let the world know the meaning of the existence of Royal Roads University. But it's a pity that what Lu Chengqi lacks is precisely time. 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day!

After Lu Chengqi entered the palace, Prince Fu, Li Ran and others in the back also followed. In Guozijian, there is no distinction between official positions and highlands, and there are only equal academic exchanges. Wang Zifu, Li Ran walked in front, which was the result of the prisoners' respect for the old and love for the young. And Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi, the other two debaters, also followed Li Hou, which is enough to explain the problem. According to social status, a person with meritorious fame is naturally much better than Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi. But they are all in front, which shows a problem, in the face of Confucianism, only those who have attained it are teachers, and there is no hierarchy. As for Lu Chengqi, he is the emperor, and the monarch of heaven and earth is naturally not among them. (To be continued.) )
