The cedars in front of the gate of the Nanjing Guozijian were densely arranged, like groups of heavily armed soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 These trees are taller than ordinary trees, and they look like giants from afar, standing on the gray-black earth, with a green canopy standing upright, even if the golden wind howls, even if the snow weighs on the branches, they will never fall, and they will never give in.
Of course there is no snow now, Nanjing, Nanzhi, the whole Jiangnan is rarely snowed, seeing the snow scene is a lifelong thing worth boasting about for a Jiangnan person, so Liu Ruyi hopes that there will be a snow, so that he can see these cedars standing proudly in the frost and snow.
"Zi said, the year is cold and then knows that the pine and cypress will wither. Wen Songrui also said that the time is poor, and one by one, I am afraid that only in this most dangerous situation and the most difficult predicament can we see a person's temperament. Liu Ruyi silently looked at his group, they followed Liu Xu from the Jubao Gate of Nanjing City to enter, and came to the gate of Nanjing Guozijian without any twists and turns along the way.
Liu Ruyi quietly looked at the eyes of those scholars, what a lively, confident, and proud look they were, yes, they followed Liu Xu all the way to break Jiading, enter Suzhou, destroy the ancestral hall, and review the prefect's mansion, without experiencing the slightest setback, without seeing the slightest tribulation, some are just success, success and success.
"Ruyi, you remember, people like winners, and as long as I keep winning, there will be countless followers." He still remembered Liu Xu's expression when he talked to him, it was not a kind of proud and complacent look of the victor, it was a kind of leisurely sigh of the white-headed old monk after seeing through the world under the green lantern ancient Buddha and gaining insight into people's hearts, it was a kind of fatigue and silence of a hundred battles in the yellow sand, a general who was drunk and lying on the battlefield after birth and death, and drank grapes.
Liu Ruyi was secretly frightened, since this man has already understood people's hearts, why is he still obsessed with victory?
"Because this era needs heroes, this declining world needs victory, others can't do it, neither can the emperor, only me, if you want to see the world where most people have food and clothing, follow me to victory."
Liu Ruyi was speechless, of course he would not refuse this result, so he could only follow it all the way. It's just that victory is good, but you know that unforged iron is always just pig iron, so how can it become a hundred refined steel?
"Maybe, you have a way." Liu Ruyi muttered to himself, his eyes fell on a scholar beside him, he was talking, spitting was flying, and his words seemed to have gone straight to Fengchi and became an auxiliary minister of the state.
"Can we really rely on these people to get things done?" Liu Ruyi thought worriedly.
Guozijian is magnificent, "poem" cloud "under the Hengmen, can live late" this Hengmen is the earliest archway, and the archway of Nanjing Guozijian is particularly magnificent and magnificent, the stone foundation of two granite is honest and heavy squatting in front of the door, they erected two doorposts together, and these two doorposts lifted a beam together, and then the craftsmen carved carefully on the beam, the decoration is beautiful, and the ability to do the most is broad and magnificent.
Liu Ruyi looked up, the archway was written on the three big characters of "Guozijian", the font was strong and powerful, and the pen contained thousands of words, I am afraid that it was written by a famous author.
"This is Guozijian, one of the highest institutions of learning in the entire Ming Dynasty!" Liu Ruyi secretly sighed that he had imagined that he would come to Nanjing Guozijian before, but he never thought that he would come in such a form, not as a scholar, but as a challenger and instigator.
Although its buildings are still magnificent and its rank is still noble, there are not many prisoners who come and go, and they are no longer as positive and energetic as they used to be. At that time, Emperor Hongwu allowed Guozi Jian students to participate in the work of various ministries and accumulate administrative experience because of the shortage of talents in the world. Nowadays, the Gongju students have a false name, and often those who have eaten for a long time are the first, and most of these people are old and immoral, so they are mediocre, which makes the Guozi prisoners have a false name.
"What a glorious time the Guozijian was that year, it is said that there were more than 9,000 students studying here during the Yongle period, and after nightfall, the lights of thousands of homes are all lit up by the youth, all of which are written for reading and writing, what a glorious educational scene!" Liu Ruyi remembered the grand occasion of the Nanjing Guozijian again, and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Could it be that now it is really the last days of the declining world, and even the education of the saints has been damaged because of this, and it is no longer the prosperity of the past?" ”
Most of the people who enter the country have to pass through the Jiming Temple, there is an ancient cypress cypress in the northwest corner of the Jiming Temple, people call the "Six Dynasty Pine" and it is said that it is planted by the royal family of the Six Dynasties, if the rumors are true, I am afraid that it has a history of thousands of years until now. It's just that this old pine is used to seeing the dynastic dynasties and is tired of seeing the iron-blooded Spring and Autumn Period, does he think that this worldly affairs and red dust affairs are too boring and meaningless?
"What we do today seems to be no different from that of the ancients, and I regard the ancients as we do today, and do the ancients regard me as such? In this way, the whole history is just one cycle after another, and where is this progress and the way out? Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi was a little confused, he approached Liu Xu, Liu Xu put the Jimin suit inside today, wrapped in a azure modified velvet jacket outside, wearing a Jiuhua scarf, was observing the surrounding scenery with great interest, and commented a few words from time to time, which seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Childe, I want to know, this history goes back and forth from generation to generation, emperors and generals, heroes and beauties seem to have grown the same in a small distance, the rise and fall of a hundred generations, epic legends, in the ears of future generations, it seems that it is just a change of name, a change of words, where is the progress of this history?"
Liu Ruyi saw Liu Xu looking at himself with a strange eye, this kind of vision he had never seen before, this kind of vision carried some surprise, with some helplessness, and with some indescribable sadness.
He heard Liu Xu say: "There was once a philosopher from Taixi who said that we have no history in China, but just a cycle of dynasties and dynasties. I don't think that's a good way to say it, because I don't really understand Chinese history. If from the perspective of the people's daily use, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court is politically clear, so that many people can live a good life, which can be compared with the previous history, which is a kind of progress; And from a deeper point of view, if we establish a system in which corrupt officials and corrupt officials are checked, land annexation is restricted, social production is greatly prosperous, and everyone can afford to eat as long as they work, then we will establish a completely different history! When that day comes, everyone is willing to participate in labor, they are willing to develop themselves, they can do whatever they want, they can go to school if they want to, they can join the army if they want to join the army, they can work in agriculture if they want to, and they can develop themselves according to their own wishes. ”
"Will there ever be a day like this?" Liu Ruyi never thought that he would have such a thirst and urgency, he clung to Liu Xu's clothes, like a puppy craving for the caress of his master, and like a traveler who is about to die of thirst to pursue the psychedelic of a mirage.
"Haha, if I live, there may be, if I die, there will be none. Well, I'm very busy today, I'll tell you the details slowly in the future, and I won't let you down. Liu Xu gently shook Liu Ruyi's hand away and said slowly.
"I will protect you with my life, please don't let me down." Looking at Liu Xu's figure gradually moving away, the blue edge of this figure slowly moved forward, and gradually walked into the light, as if it was one with the light, and as if the immortal was about to return with the crane, Liu Ruyi said to himself.
It seems that Liu Xu has made preparations in advance, so the scholars of Nanyong (Nanjing Guozijian also known as Nanyong) have been gathered in front of Yilun Hall, and Liu Ruyi roughly counted, there are about two or three thousand people.
Yilun Hall is a huge hall, formerly known as Chongwen Pavilion, which is a place to store books. There is a huge platform in front of Yilun Hall, called Lingtai, which used to be the place where Guozijian summoned the prisoners to take a roll call, assemble and give a big class, but now this place has been noisy, and the scholars have long forgotten about the restrictions on the clothing of scholars in the early years of the country, and gathered together in various clothes, waiting for the arrival of the legendary Liu Xu.
Liu Ruyi's eyes looked at the red paint and blue painting of Yiluntang, these bright colors reflected a strong light under the sunlight, which made him feel a little dazzling, so he blocked it a little with his sleeve, but he immediately felt that it was unimpressive to do so, so he immediately put his hand down.
Liu Xu walked at the front of the team, he saw that the distance was almost over, and said softly: "Everyone get ready!" Then he took off his outer robe, revealing the inner Jimin clothes, and the others followed suit, teaching the outer robes to the casual domestic servants, revealing the red clothes inside. Liu Ruyi squinted and looked at them, they were like a red ocean current, although the array was not very neat, but there was an indescribable, earth-shaking power.
No one spoke, they just walked quietly, using silence to build momentum for themselves, and using silence to make a way for themselves. The servants in the back tore out the slogan and raised it high with a long bamboo pole, on one side it was "the world is in trouble, how about the scholars" and on the other side was "a group of thieves, although they die without regrets".
Liu Xu walked in front of everyone, and a domestic servant handed him a stool, and Liu Xu stood up. He was already tall, and now he is taller than everyone else. Liu Xu looked at the prisoners facing him and said the first sentence: "Brother Wen, what are you still doing here?" ”
