Chapter 85: The Great Confucian Zheng Xuan

Zheng Xuanzi Kangcheng, a native of Gaomi in Beihai.

Young but hard to study, when he was a teenager, he was recommended by the township because of his profound knowledge.

Later, he entered Taixue to study, apprenticed to Mr. Fifth, studied Confucian classics, and then entered the Guanxi to worship the master of scripture Ma Rong as a teacher, but he never got Ma Rong's personal teaching for three years, but Zheng Xuan still diligently followed Ma Rong's disciples to study, until one day Ma Rong and his disciples deduced the problem of Hun Tian, and when they were in trouble and could not solve it, some disciples proposed that Zheng Xuan be good at this way, and Ma Rong invited Zheng Xuan, and as a result, Zheng Xuan came, and the problem was quickly and satisfactorily solved.

So far, Zheng Xuan's name is famous in Kansai, but Zheng Xuan is proud of it, and he still studied hard under Ma Rongmen for several years, until his parents were old, and he had to return to his hometown to take care of his parents.

Ma Rong is not only a world-famous master of scripture, but also a relative of the Han Dynasty, his wife is the eldest princess of the Han family, so Ma Rong is the world's leader in terms of talent and fame, and his disciples follow as many as 400 people all year round, and the scholars from all over the world come to apprentice is endless.

However, when Zheng Xuan returned to his hometown in Beihai, Ma Rong said to his disciples with emotion: "Zheng Sheng is going now, and I will go east." ”

Soon after returning to his hometown, Zheng Xuan was re-elected as an official by the county, but at that time, due to the outbreak of the party dispute, Zheng Xuan was falsely accused of being a member of the Qingliu Party and imprisoned for many years.

Although there is no official body, Zheng Xuanxue's rich five-car knowledge, as well as the hidden style, but make his reputation far and wide, especially after the Yellow Turban War, the imperial court has recruited several times, he has refused to enter the office, for which his reputation is even more obvious, and the disciples who came to apprentice once exceeded 1,000 people at the peak.

The year before last, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou was raging, and Zheng Xuan, in order to avoid the disaster of war, at the invitation of Tao Qian, brought a group of disciples to Tancheng to teach and live temporarily.

Although Tao Qian respects Zheng Xuan's knowledge, he has been wooed several times for this master who is dedicated to learning, hoping that Zheng Xuan can come out and boost his popularity, but Zheng Xuan refused for various reasons, for which Tao Qian was greatly annoyed, but because Zheng Xuan's reputation was too great, he was helpless, and gradually became cold to Zheng Xuan and his disciples.

Zheng Xuan's school hall is located in the south of Tancheng, originally a sacrificial ancestral hall, and later became Zheng Xuan's teaching hall due to abandonment, due to lack of funds, and was snubbed by Tao Qian, Zheng Xuan's life in Tancheng at this time seemed to be poor.

The 200 disciples under the sect, most of whom are students who came from Qingzhou, will not have too much money to spare, so at present, Zheng Xuan's family and the expenses of the academy are all funded by the local and some disciples from some families.

After Han Lie and Dian Wei came out of Mi Zhu's house, when they came all the way to the Zheng Xuan Academy, it was already dusk, and the school hall had already finished school.

"This brother, may I ask if Mr. Kang Cheng is there?" Han Lie walked into the academy and asked a student.

"You're here to apprentice?" The student in front of him looked curiously at Han Lie, who was magnificent, and Dian Wei, who looked wonderful, and asked with a little vigilance.

"I heard that Mr. Kang Cheng doesn't ask about his background, could it be that this matter is fake?" Facing the young student in front of him, Han Lie asked with a calm expression.

"Of course it's true." Questioned by Han Lie, the student said emotionally: "The teacher is a great Confucian in the world, how can he bend his waist for that copper smell, if this benevolent brother wants to apprentice to the teacher, please go straight to the end and turn right to see the teacher's residence." ”

"Thank you." Han Lie bowed and thanked him.

Walking through the long corridor, when Han Lie came to the small courtyard where Zheng Xuan lived, he saw that the Zheng family was eating, and there were only two plates of green vegetables and two pieces of dough cakes on the table.

"Junior, Han Lie, pays a visit to Mr. Kang Cheng." Han Lie, who was standing at the door, met Zheng Xuan's gaze and bowed down.

"You are General Han Ziyang?" Zheng Xuan got up and looked at the handsome Han Lie, and asked with some uncertainty.

"It's the juniors, I didn't expect Mr. Kang Cheng to know the names of the juniors." Han Lie's surprise was not contrived, he was still quite honored that a master like Zheng Xuan knew his name.

"Yien, move General Han's seat." Zheng Xuan bowed slightly, and commanded his son Zheng Yi opposite.

"General, please." Zheng Yizi Yien, is Zheng Xuan's only son, although Zheng Xuan is now over sixty years old, but his son is just in his early twenties this year, for Zheng Xuan, it can be said that he is an old man.

Although he is an old man, Zheng Xuan has not spoiled his son too much, and has been teaching knowledge around him since he was a child, so that Zheng Yi is only twenty-one years old, but he has become a talented man who reads poetry and books, and he is also quite thoughtful in receiving people and things, without any pedantic and dull atmosphere.

"It's abrupt, I'm disturbing Mr. to eat." Han Lie motioned for Dian Wei to stay at the door, and he sat down on the mat that Zheng Yi had put down.

"It's okay, has the general used it?" Although Zheng Xuan is a great Confucian, he does not have the slightest stereotypical image of a master at home, just like a kind old man, he put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and chatted with Han Lie.

"I just had a meal at Mi Zizhong's house before I came." While Han Lie was talking, a middle-aged woman in the hall came in and poured a bowl of tea and soup for Han Lie, judging from the other party's clothing, it was obvious that she was not a servant, and should belong to Zheng Xuan's wife and concubine.

"Second lady, take my food away." Zheng Xuan gave an order to the woman who poured the tea, and it was already said that this woman was indeed Zheng Xuan's concubine.

"Mother, I've eaten too." Zheng Yi also opened his mouth, but it showed that this girl was actually Zheng Yi's biological mother.

"The general is here, is there something to do?" Zheng Xuan's weather-covered face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright.

"It can be said that it is a public matter, but it is also a private matter." Han Lie met the other party's gaze and said, "Mr. Jiuwen has a great name, and I have come to ask Mr. for advice, hoping that Mr. can move and go to Licheng to teach, and open up the wisdom of the people for the people of Licheng." ”

"The old man is already in his last years, I'm afraid I can't move, I have already written to Tao Envoy Jun, and I am ready to return to my hometown, and the general is afraid that he will not be able to accept it." Zheng Xuan smiled slightly and said apologetically.

"Mr. is too modest, don't you hear that the old man is in waiting, his ambition is thousands of miles, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong." Han Lie raised his eyes and stared at Zheng Xuan, and said: "Although Mr. is over the age of sixties, it is also the time of the pedantic heavens, when it is boiling today, the yellow turban is in chaos, thieves are everywhere, all kinds of chaos are caused by the lack of wisdom of the people and the lack of education. ”

Han Lie's remarks quoted Cao Cao's famous sentences, and also quoted some novel terms from later generations, which immediately caused Zheng Xuan's father and son to light up unconsciously, and Han Lie's senses suddenly improved greatly.

"The general's four short sentences can be described as every word, which makes people feel unconsciously full of blood, I don't know how the general will open up the wisdom of the people?" Zheng Yi silently recited Han Lie's sentence, 'The old man is in the bush, his ambition is thousands of miles, and the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. I couldn't help but ask.

Han Lie came to visit Zheng Xuan today, naturally it was not a temporary impulse, but he had already done his homework, he had opened a school when he was in Zhending before, but because Zhending was not a permanent place, he didn't spend too much thought, but Licheng is the foundation of the future, the first problem he thought of, although it was to solve the problem of eating for the people, but the second problem was the problem of education.

The reason why the big families in this era have been able to survive for a long time is naturally because they have mastered knowledge, while the common people at the bottom have not had the opportunity to contact book knowledge for generations, so they can only be poor for generations.

Knowledge changes destiny, this is a well-known adage in later generations, but in this era, knowledge is in the hands of the family, and the children of the common people basically have no opportunity to learn.

Therefore, after thinking about it, if you want to weaken the family, you can't use simple and brutal **** and violence, and at the same time, you also need to have fresh blood to integrate into it, otherwise even if you bring down one family, another family will rise, only when knowledge is popularized and everyone has the opportunity to forge ahead, the family will be completely weakened.

Therefore, in this way, education cannot be ignored, and Zheng Xuan, as a contemporary Confucian, if he can take charge of the school and enlighten civilian students, within ten years, a group of usable talents will be cultivated.

Zheng Yi's inquiry, Zheng Xuan did not stop it, so Han Lie understood that Zheng Xuan was obviously also curious about his own ideas, and then he said: "I have been appointed by Tao Envoy Jun as the Licheng Order, and now Licheng has a population of 100,000, and a certain is going to open a college in the city to teach all children and teenagers between the ages of eight and eighteen to learn culture for free, and exempt them from all tuition and miscellaneous fees. It also allows the students' families and neighbors to feel the glory brought to them by knowledge, and under such a cycle, the wisdom of the people is naturally opened. ”

Next, Han Lie made a detailed description of the disadvantages of various measures in education, Han Lie's advanced ideas and thinking, even a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan, there is a sense of empowerment, not to mention the young Zheng Yi, after listening to Han Lie's thoughts on education, he has already admired Han Lie's five bodies.

After Han Lie finished his long speech, he said with emotion: "Although Lie is a martial artist, he is determined to establish his heart for heaven and earth, establish his life for the people, continue his studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." When Han Liesi's sentence came out, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but be moved, and muttered to himself: "The general has this grand wish, and I am not alone." ”

"The general's mind and bearing, I'm afraid that the sages are not as good as it." Zheng Yi stood up from the bottom of his heart, bowed down and said, "If the general doesn't give up, he will definitely go to Licheng to teach." ”

"Mr. Yien's wishes, I can't ask for it." Han Lie hurriedly got up and answered, with Zheng Yi's promise, Han Lie was relieved in his heart, he believed that Zheng Yi had been abducted, and Zheng Xuan would not refuse if he wanted to.

Sure enough, Zheng Xuan, who came back to his senses, then got up and said: "The heart of the general is like the sun and the moon in the sky, although Xuan is in his last years, but in his lifetime, as long as the general does not violate his original intention, Xuan will definitely take charge of teaching for you and open up the wisdom of the people for all people." ”

"Sir, rest assured, Han Lie will devote himself to education, and will never break his word, if he violates it, he will be spurned by all the people." Han Lie solemnly swore an oath.
