Due to the protection of Yuan Tan's army, there were no twists and turns in the north to Qingzhou.

Although Cao Cao wanted to kill Yuan Shao, the reality was cruel, with his current strength, he would not dare to provoke Yuan Shao, and he could only let Yuan Shao go north.

However, Cao Cao was still a little disgusted, and Yuan was disgusted.

When Xin Ping rushed to Xuchang and explained his intentions to Cao Cao, Cao Cao directly told Xin Ping that he only caught Qiao Jue from the chaotic army, but Da Qiao was nowhere to be found, in order to give Xin Ping or Yuan Tan an explanation, Cao Cao also took the trouble to send someone to investigate, but the final result was that Da Qiao died in the chaos.

However, in order to show his sincerity, Cao Cao still took the initiative to release Qiao Jue.

Xin Ping had no choice but to take Qiao Ying back to Qingzhou to return to Yuan Tan.

Dividing line

Turning around and saying that Yuan No, he followed Yuan Tan to the north, and arrived at Linzi, the capital of Qingzhou, after ten days.

After arriving in Linzi, Yuan Wei did not rush to continue to go north to Jizhou, but took leave to Yuan Tan, and only took Liu Ye, Xu Sheng and Tai Shici to Beihai day and night.

This time he came to Beihai, Yuan Wei made a special trip to visit the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.

Among the grand plans formulated by Liu Ye for Yuan No, the great Confucian Zheng Xuan is an extremely important figure.

When it comes to Zheng Xuan, we can't help but talk about scriptures, and when we talk about scriptures, we must talk about modern scriptures and ancient scriptures.

When it comes to the modern scriptures and ancient scriptures, we must first say that Qin Shi Huang's book burning pit Confucianism, Qin State since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty reform, is the Legalist family is the dominant family, Qin Shi Huang after the army swallowed the six countries, but also wanted to implement the rule of law in the homeland of the six countries according to the gourd painting scoop, but was met with great resistance, especially Confucianism, but became the vanguard of the opposition to the Legalists, so there was a book burning pit Confucianism.

After Qin Shi Huang burned the book, most of the previous documents of the Qin Dynasty were scattered, until Liu Bang Ding Ding the world, by a part of the old Confucian scholars with memory to write down part of the scriptures, with the prevailing official books at that time to write and sort out, and on this basis there are certain trade-offs, so that it is more suitable for the cultural environment at that time, this is the current Wenjing.

However, during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang Liu Xin and his son sorted out the royal treasury and found a Spring and Autumn Biography of the Zuo family written in ancient characters, and then the descendants of the Kong family also dug out the ancient books of etiquette and other ancient books hidden in the old house from the partition wall of the old house, and on the basis of these ancient books, the ancient school was derived.

There is a great difference between the modern school and the ancient school in terms of interpretation, and it has gradually become incompatible.

The differences between the modern school and the ancient school were mutually extricable, not only could not promote academic progress, but because of internal friction, the authority of the scriptures was greatly affected, so some people of insight began to devote themselves to bridging the differences between the two schools of unification, and Zheng Xuan was one of them.

After 14 years of arduous efforts, Zheng Xue, which integrates ancient and modern literature and classics, came out, and once Zheng Xue came out, ancient and modern literature and classics were abolished, and Zheng Xuan became a recognized leader of Shilin.

If Yuan wants to dominate the world, it is not enough to rely on martial artists alone, and a large number of scholars are needed to help, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the governance of the country needs the full help of scholars, so getting Zheng Xuan's recognition and support can be described as a shortcut to the south, not to mention anything else, as long as Zheng Xuan sends a sentence and recommends a few military advisors to him, it will be terrible.

Yuan Wei and his entourage did not stop, and arrived in Gaomi County two days later.

Since entering the boundary of Gaomi County and asking Zheng Xuan, the shepherd boys, woodcutters, hunters and peddlers and pawns on the road have all competed for directions, so it didn't take much twists and turns, and Yuan Fu and his party found Zhenggong Village, where Zheng Xuan lived.

As soon as he entered Zhenggong Village, Yuan Fu saw a hundred-year-old pine at the entrance of the village, with ancient pine branches sticking out horizontally, and the trunk covered with cracked dead bark, as if appealing to the world about the endless mulberry it had experienced.

Under the hundred-year-old pine, an old man with white hair is kneeling on the pu mat and talking.

Around the old man, hundreds of Confucian scholars sat kneeling like stars and moons, listening attentively.

In the history of Confucius's lectures, thousands of people listened to the lectures at the peak, and they were very skeptical of Jing Yuan, because thousands of people sat together, even if they could maintain good order, Confucius's voice could not be conveyed to the periphery, Confucius was just a scholar, and there was no such a loud voice as Zhang Fei, and the peripheral students listened to the eggs

According to Yuan's estimate, it would be good to have a few hundred people to listen to the lecture.

However, after seeing the scene in front of him, Yuan Wei began to believe that the grand occasion of Confucius's lectures may be true.

Even if the Confucian scholars sitting around the old man in front of him are not a thousand, they will not be too bad, Yuan Wei roughly counted, not to mention that there are eight hundred, there are three thousand disciples who listened to Confucius in ancient times, and now there are eight hundred scholars who listen to Zheng Xuan's teachings, and the old master Zheng Xuan really does not let Confucius specialize in beauty.

Zheng Xuan spoke seriously, and the scholar listened more seriously, but no one noticed Yuan Fu's arrival.

Xu Sheng frowned, and was about to step forward to interrupt Zheng Xuan's lecture, but asked Yuan to stop him.

Yuan Wei stopped Xu Sheng's rude behavior, then turned over and dismounted, respectfully walked to the outskirts of the crowd and sat down, and listened carefully.

Zheng Xuan's voice was a little low, but it was very penetrating, and Yuan Xuan could still hear it clearly even though he was on the periphery.

But it was a coincidence, Zheng Xuan was explaining that it happened to be a book, Yuan Wei ordered Xu Sheng to open the baggage, and turned out the Zheng Note Book that was printed and bound into a book in Lujiang before, this Zheng Note Book is a book of Cai Hou paper, but the engraving is Ma Jun, so the printing quality is very good, it can be described as exquisite.

The Confucian scholar next to him was holding bamboo slips and wooden slips, but Yuan Wei was holding a beautifully printed paper book.

However, the surrounding Confucian students were listening carefully, and no one noticed.

Yuan No's move was really flattering to the blind man, and he was blind.

Zheng Xuan spoke for an hour, and before he stopped to take a nap, Yuan Wei put away the book and stepped forward to meet Zheng Xuan.

"Student Yuan No, the cursive words are responsible, meet Old Master Zheng." Yuan Wei paid homage to Zheng Xuan according to the student salute.

Today's Yuan Nuo is well-known among Shilin, I heard that it was Yuan Nuo in person, Zheng Xuan also got up and saluted in return, no matter what, Yuan Nuo is a child of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao is now the master of Jiqing and Sanzhou, although Zheng Xuan is detached from the world and does not care about mundane affairs, but he does not dare to be too big.

When a distinguished guest arrived, Zheng Xuan ordered the scholars to disperse, and then introduced Yuan Fu and others to the grass house.

The guest and the host were seated, and Yuan Wei didn't have the slightest politeness, and went straight to the topic and asked: "Dare to ask the master, why is the scholar studying?"

Zheng Xuan smiled and asked Yuan quietly if he said: "If you look at the child's opinion, what is the scholar's study?"

Zheng Xuan originally thought that Yuan Xuan would answer that he would learn to learn literature and martial arts, and the goods were in the emperor's house, even if it was not, the answer must be similar, Zheng Xuan even guessed Yuan Xuan's intention, whether the prince came this time, it was nothing more than to ask him to recommend a few scholars to him, that's all, but Yuan Xuan's answer greatly exceeded Zheng Xuan's expectations.

Yuan Wei knelt down and sat up from the seat, and said very forcefully: "When a scholar reads, he should establish his heart for heaven and earth, establish his life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations."

Zheng Xuan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

Liu Ye, who was sitting next to him, also cast a shocked look at Yuan No.

How much attainment Yuan Nuo has in scriptures, Liu Ye knows very well, although this son-in-law is versatile and wise, but he really does not have too many attainments in scriptures, but what Yuan Nuo just said is the true meaning of reading, and it also makes Liu Ye's impression of Yuan Nuo completely subverted.

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

Well, that's good, that's great, this is really the true meaning of reading.

At that moment, Zheng Xuan knelt down from the seat and sat up, and said solemnly: "The son is high, and the old man thinks so." ”

"How dare a student be an old master." Yuan Wei hurriedly got up to avoid it, but he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, this sentence is a famous saying of Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty, what kind of person Zhang Zai is one of the founders of Cheng Zhu Lixue, regardless of whether Cheng Zhu Lixue is good or bad, just saying that Zhang Zai can establish Lixue is a great ability.

The doctrine of the sect can not be established casually by a cat or a dog

As soon as Zhang Zai's famous sentence came out, Zheng Xuan immediately put away Fang Cai's perfunctory heart.

At that moment, Zheng Xuan asked Yuan very seriously: "So, dare to ask Gongzi, how can I establish a heart for heaven and earth, how can I establish a life for the people, and how can I open peace for all generations."

Yuan Wei said in his heart, the dry goods are here

Whether or not Zheng Xuan can be persuaded to be his Confucian principal is all in one move

Yuan knew that his attainments in scriptures were mediocre, so he did not discuss the meaning of scriptures with Zheng Xuan, but went straight to the theme books that had plagued readers for nearly three thousand years

Speaking of which, books in this era are too expensive, and there are still too few people who can afford to read them.

Yuan Wei said: "If you want to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, and peace for all generations, the first thing is people."

After a pause, Yuan Wei continued: "Please forgive me for saying bluntly, the number of scholars under the Yifang today, if you want to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, and peace for all generations, but if one day, no matter whether you are noble or low, no matter the scholars, everyone has a book to read, everyone has the opportunity to study, then everyone knows etiquette and respect, then the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and society will naturally be able to live and work forever, the old master thinks so."

After Zheng Xuan heard it, he thought it was true, Yuan Di's words simply spoke to his heart.

Although Zheng Xuan was an official eunuch, his family was poor when he was young, and the most distressing thing was that he had no books to read and no studies to go to, so he borrowed a book from the local scholars, but he didn't know how many twists and turns, in order to study, he spent decades visiting famous teachers all over the world, I don't know how much sweat he shed, how many pairs of shoes he wore out.

If it is really as Yuan Wei said, one day everyone can have books to read and everyone has the opportunity to enroll, it is simply the royal paradise that Zheng Xuan dreamed of.

It's just that Zheng Xuan knows that the royal paradise is just an illusion after all.

At that moment, Zheng Xuan sighed: "Although Childe's idea is very beautiful, it is not easy to realize. ”

Yuan Wei smiled, got up and said: "If I can do it, no matter whether you are a noble or a low, no matter a scholar, everyone has a book to read, and everyone can study, the old master is willing to take on the responsibility of educating the people for me."

The old master is willing to take on the responsibility of educating all the people for me

Yuan Fu finally showed his fangs
