Chapter 12 Zhangong New Learning

Twelve years later......

Zhanming Xue Palace, located in Anyang, the capital of Yin State, was built by the order of King Yin Yun, the virtuous lord of Yin State, and has been built more than 200 years ago. Xue Gong Zhixue pursues the principle of not being controlled by the palace, and confers knighthood on famous scholars, gradually attracting many erudite people in the world, and what is even more rare is that King Yun explicitly decreed, whether it is here to bring or succeed in learning, to stay is not subject to personal restrictions, the famous change of law Shen Jun is in the Zhan Ming School Palace to study and then return to the Ying Kingdom, like him There are some, but most of them are not as famous as him, of course, more people prefer to choose to continue to stay in the Yin State. Under such an enlightened system, the palace naturally prospered, and now it has brought together academic elites from all walks of life in the world, becoming the center of learning in Kyushu and the Seven Kingdoms.

Now, Zhanming Academy has welcomed a new student.

It is not easy to enter the Zhanming Academy, the initial reason for its opening, first of all, of course, is closely related to the fact that King Yin Yun himself is a famous scholar among the monarchs, and the more important purpose is to provide the kingdom with statecraft talents, so all the students recruited are naturally the children of the nobility, because in the concept recognized by various countries, commoners can only be governed by others, and must not become people who govern people, so it virtually makes the threshold for admission to the school palace extremely high, after all, in various countries, nobles are a minority, and even if it is a noble status, Not everyone is qualified to enter the school palace, which has to go through repeated assessments and examinations, including all aspects of the student's talent and mind, it is not easy to pass, and it must be hard work.

However, there has recently been an exception to the case of not accepting civilians, and this exception is entirely due to the hand of Master Qiu Shan, who presides over the Academy. Master Qiu Shan was known as a saint and was not only admired by kings and nobles of various countries, but also enjoyed great popularity among the common people of various countries. As for recruiting commoners into the academy, it is related to a school that has recently emerged among the commoners. This school of thought, from top to bottom, came from the common people, advocated good neighborliness, valued agriculture, and tried to avoid wars between nations. It can be said that the concept of governing the people before the army, governing the culture before governing the military, and governing education before the law can be said to represent the most basic demands of the common people, so it has spread rapidly among the civilians of various countries. Mo Rang, who put forward this doctrine, is naturally famous all over the world. As a result, there was Master Qiushan to override public opinion, personally invited Mo Rang to come to the school palace to give lectures, and later Mo Rang and his disciples were resident in the school palace, Mo Rang also lived up to the hope of Master Qiu Shan, and devoted himself to learning in the school palace, and gradually perfected his own doctrine. Mo Rang's doctrine is so popular with Master Qiu Shan that it is even rumored that in a private chat between Master Qiu Shan and Mo Rang, he said something that anyone who has a desire to learn can teach, which can touch many noble children.

As for this new student in the school palace, it has caused a lot of discussion among students before he officially enrolls. According to rumors, the student only brought a letter of recommendation and went straight to Master Qiushan, and then Master Qiushan ignored the rules of the palace and made an exception to approve his admission, and even the admission procedures were handled by Master Qiushan himself. But due to the transcendent status of Master Qiushan, in the end, he could only laugh at himself in order to show his mind.

Now the person who recommended this student to enter the school is actually older than Ju Yuanjun, and what is even more surprising is that no one knows the details of this student's origin, and no one even knows where he came from.

In the curiosity of all the students, the first day of the opening of the Zhanming School Palace was ushered in.

The number of people in the Zhanming School Palace is actually not very large, there are more than 9,000 students from all over the world plus teachers, of which about 800 teachers, in addition to the students and teachers There are hundreds of miscellaneous servants, which are usually used for the daily maintenance and cleaning of the palace. The students generally have their own servants, but they are not allowed to bring them to the palace, which is also a rule established at the beginning of the construction of the palace, which is intended to warn everyone to keep in mind the purpose of entering the palace, and to focus on learning and not to be greedy for pleasure. Generally speaking, unless there are teachers, the school palace does not provide accommodation for students, so most of the students live in private houses near the school palace, and the teachers of the school palace are supported by the Yin court. But there are exceptions, when Master Qiu Shan invited Mo Rang to enter the palace, Mo Rang was accompanied by six personal disciples, although these six disciples were also students, but they also lived in the school palace with Mo Rang.

The school system is based on one year as a semester, and you can graduate after three years of study, and there is a two-month long vacation in a year, called winter vacation, around the New Year's Festival. Of course, there is a rest in ordinary times, according to the regulations of every seven days off, every seven days of study in the school palace will have one day off, the day of the vacation school palace will be open to the outside world for people to visit, and in ordinary times outsiders want to enter and exit the school palace must obtain the personal permission of the master of Qiu Shan, otherwise the prince will not be allowed to enter, but even on the day of opening to the outside world, the school palace also has three principles of non-access, that is, those with swords and soldiers are not admitted, those who speak strangely and are not admitted, and women are not admitted.

On the first day of school in the school palace, all the staff of the school palace should bathe in advance and burn incense, and then wear the uniform of the school palace (the student uniforms are divided into three levels, the style is the same, but the color is different, according to the grade from low to high are white, cyan, and cyan. The style of the teacher's uniform is slightly more complicated than the student's uniform, and the color is pure black, and according to the different status, the teacher will wear jade pendants of different shapes, which is not available to students. The uniforms of the miscellaneous servants were ordinary samurai uniforms, and unlike the students and teachers, they wore trousers instead of robes, which was also necessary for their duties. Worship heaven and earth and to the saints and sages.

At this moment, the opening ceremony of the school palace is underway.

In the majestic voice of Master Qiu Shan's blessing to heaven and earth, all the teachers and students bowed deeply. In the last white school uniform of the crowd was the curious freshman, who seemed to be not very comfortable with such a ceremony, and there was a slightly confused look on his face, but he still learned to bow together.

The ceremony lasted about half an hour, which was not very long, but after the ceremony, everyone did not return to the school, but quietly sat on the ground in the open air in the square where the ceremony was held.

"What is the etiquette, the body of the word, the direction of the ceremony, the determination of relatives, the suspicion, the sameness, the difference, the right and wrong, the ......" Master Qiushan from the right and round, sprinkled for about half an hour, and finally to heaven and earth metaphor in the ceremony, etiquette is the heaven and earth to the reason to end, the rest of the teachers and students are sitting in danger, listening carefully.

After Master Qiushan gave a lecture, all the students also wanted to return to the school, but they saw Master Qiushan slowly walking towards the first-year freshmen, and all the students made way for Master Qiushan.

"You come from different countries, but in this Zhanming School Palace, there is no distinction between family and country, only the friendship of classmates, you must remember, no matter what the external situation is, the School Palace is not allowed to breed right and wrong, since you are here, you should be dedicated to learning, practicing the way of a gentleman, taking the world as your own responsibility, Hongyi yourself, understand?" Master Qiu Shan solemnly said to the newly admitted students.

The students naturally listened to the teachings. Then Master Qiu Shan asked all the students to return to the school, but only the legendary new student was left, and the curiosity of the students, including the teachers, couldn't help but rise again, but because Master Qiu Shan said to let them leave, they couldn't listen to anything.

"Heng'an, can the accommodation be arranged?" Master Qiu Shan said to the student.

"Xie Fuzi cares, and it has been arranged." Student's way.

"Is your residence far from the Academy? I've heard that it's hard to find a house in the neighborhood right now, and there are more new students this year than in previous years. Master Qiushan said.

"I really can't find a house near the school palace, so I found a place to live by the north city gate, which is not too far." Student's way.

"The north city gate, it's not close, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back when I rest at noon, and the displaced people over there are concentrated, so it's not very peaceful. Do you want the teacher to help you find a place to live nearby? Even if you live in the school palace, you can do it. Master Qiu Shan said with concern.

"No need, I've been troublesome here for too much, and I have my own plans to live there, I'm going to open a free clinic after studying, but I'm still grateful to Master." The student smiled and saluted Master Qiushan.

"Huai'an said in the letter, you kid is good at medicine, and what is even more rare is that you have such a heart to help the world at a young age, and you are really not a disciple of Jiang Huai'an." Master Qiu Shan smiled with satisfaction, and looked at the students with a little more kindness.

The student is naturally Wei Feng. When Wei Feng stayed in the stream for nine years, the way of the sword had been completed, and the next three years were more with Zhu to learn the way of medicine, to the twelfth year, Jiang Bai Zhu by the two felt that Wei Feng had nothing to teach, so Jiang Bai made a decision to let Wei Feng go out to study, the first target was naturally his hometown of Anyang, the capital of Yin State, Jiang Bai had a very good relationship with Master Qiushan, Jiang Bai was deeply influenced by Master Qiushan, and even surpassed Jiang Kui, the brother who taught Jiang Bai's kendo, Master Qiushan regarded Jiang Bai as a nephew in his heart, especially Jiang Bai's pure heart, It is deeply appreciated by Master Qiushan, the intimate relationship between Master Qiushan and Jiang Bai is extremely rare, because Master Qiushan and Jiang Bai's brother Jiang Kui have always been at odds, after Jiang Bai left, Jiang Kui even blamed Master Qiushan for his brother's departure, and his idea was not completely unreasonable.

When Wei Feng first came to Anyang to look for Master Qiushan, he said that he was informed by Jiang Bai Huai'an's order, and Master Qiushan regarded him as Jiang Bai's son when he met. Later, after reading the content of Jiang Bai's letter, I knew where Jiang Bai was and what he had experienced over the years.

"Do you see any difference between this place and the Spirit Clan of the 100,000 Great Mountains?" Master Qiu Shan asked instead.

"Is it different, there are naturally a lot, such as Qi Lingfeng who was worshiped in the ceremony just now, the spirit clan does not worship, and the spirit clan does not respect Xihe, and worships the moon god Zhegui." Wei Feng said.

"What about the rest?" Master Qiu Shan continued to ask.

"People, it's not different, everyone's background experience may be different, but the feelings of joy, anger and sorrow are the same." Wei Feng said with a smile.

"The human spirit race has been isolated for thousands of years, and the land of the Seven Kingdoms mentions the spirit race like a ghost legend, I really want to take a look there, Huai'an always dares to think about what others dare not think, dare to do what others dare not do, I am not as far away as Huai'an." Master Qiu Shan sighed.

"How many of the various tribes of the Spirit Clan are there now, have you seen them all? Do each ministry have their own language and can communicate with humans? Master Qiu Shan asked one after another.

"There are twenty-eight tribes of the Spirit Race, and most of the tribes have their own languages and scripts, but each tribe can basically use human language, and it is not difficult to communicate. I have traveled to all over the 100,000 mountains, and I have seen them in all tribes. Wei Feng replied.

"It's not difficult to understand that the language used by humans has been passed down from the spirit race, and I'm curious about what has changed in the past thousand years." Master Qiushan said.

"There are naturally changes, and I think the changes in the outside world may be greater, but most of them are still common." Wei Feng said.

"We will discuss these in detail later, but for now and in the future, what are your plans for Hengan?" Master Qiushan said.

"I've just arrived here, and there are a lot of things here that I haven't seen before, and now I naturally want to study hard and live up to the trust of my master, as for the future, I really haven't thought about it carefully." Wei Feng said honestly.

"Huai'an is really good at swordsmanship, you are his disciple, since he let you out to study, he must have obtained his true inheritance, but the old man wants to warn you, you must be careful to use what you have learned, it is best not to use it. When you first came here, you don't know the situation here, Anyang has always been mixed with various forces, Huai'an, as a disciple of the Jiang Sword Sect, was born with these deeply involved, he left back then, but he did not have the heart to stay away from the land of right and wrong. Presumably Huai'an also explained to you before leaving, we must try our best to hide your identity, although it is inevitable that there will be a moment to be revealed, but it can be delayed for a day, and you will have a day of peace of mind, only a peaceful state of mind can safely practice the way of the sages, you know? Master Qiu Shan said earnestly.

"Please rest assured, Master, Master has indeed confessed, and the student is not a brave and ruthless person, and the student will never use the sword unless it is absolutely necessary. However, even if one day the identity is revealed, it will not make the student's heart go to the square, and the student will study with peace of mind. Wei Feng said.

"In fact, let you use kendo carefully, it's not all out of your identity, your identity will eventually come out if someone wants to verify it, even now, I'm afraid that Cheng Yingzi has noticed that you have a relationship with Huai'an, as for why you should use kendo carefully, presumably Huai'an also taught you, but now that he is not by your side, as an elder, I naturally have a responsibility to mention you." Master Qiushan said.

"Thank you for your concern, Wei Feng saved." Wei Feng bowed and said, "As for the Cheng Yingzi that the master said, who is it?" ”

"Your master didn't mention the situation here to you?" Master Qiu Shan asked curiously.

"Master only wrote a letter for me to bring to the Master, and also told me how to walk along the way, and said nothing else." Wei Feng said.

"This Huai'an!" Master Qiu Shan smiled and said, but from the look on his face, he knew that his trust in Jiang Bai was extremely useful. "Well, I'll talk to you briefly. This Cheng Yingzi is the second daughter of the head of the Cheng family of Yin Guohao, the Cheng family has been married to the Yin royal family since ancient times, Cheng Yingzi's eldest sister is the queen of Yin Zhao, the contemporary monarch of Yin State, and Cheng Yingzi herself is the wife of Yin Zhaowang's younger brother Ju Yuanjun. Sakura, this girl, smart and beautiful since childhood, is known as the pearl of Chengmen, she has an old relationship with your master, she has been inquiring about your master's whereabouts before, it is estimated that she will look for you in a few days, you have to pay attention. Master Qiu Shan said, "In addition, you have to pay more attention to the Cheng family and Jiang Kui's side, even the palace side, once they know your relationship with Huai'an, they are not unable to do anything to blackmail your master back, after all, the kendo master is the important weapon of the country, and your master has won the martial arts sect of other countries in turn before he returns to seclusion." ”

"I'll be careful. As for my identity, the master doesn't have to worry, my wife told me before I came, if others ask me about my life experience, I can say that I am a patriot, and I have followed Princess Daiyue since I was a child, and my wife has already greeted Princess Daiyue in advance. Wei Feng said.

"Oh? Princess Dai Yue, I heard that Princess Dai Yue disappeared for ten years, and only returned to the Wei Wang Court in exile two years ago, your master is from the Spirit Clan, do you know Princess Dai Yue? Master Qiushan asked.

"Princess Dai Yue was rescued by my master, and then we lived together for ten years, speaking of which, Princess Dai Yue is also my elder, and I usually call her aunt." Wei Feng said.

"No wonder, it's a lot more insured." Master Qiu Shan said that he had the heart to ask Wei Feng how he met Jiang Bai, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was too diluted and not very good, so he didn't ask after all.

"Okay, after talking for so long, your side is about to start classes, the first lesson of new students is unified in the Yandao University Hall, and then they will be divided into schools, today I will teach you Mofuzi, the study of Mofuzi, in the subtleties to the avenue, open up the pattern of ancient and modern times, you should study and experience carefully." Master Qiushan said.

"Students will study hard and live up to the trust of their masters." Hearing this, Wei Feng said goodbye to Master Qiu Shan and walked towards the Yandao University Hall.

Looking at the back of Wei Feng leaving, Master Qiu Shan didn't care about what Wei Feng said, but he actually put his master in front of his master. The corners of Master Qiushan's mouth smiled slightly, he remembered Jiang Bai, all the martial arts masters in the world taught their disciples to prove the Tao with martial arts, Yu Wenzhi has always been dismissive, only Jiang Bai, martial arts has reached the realm of the master of heaven and earth, but in his bones he is more like a scribe, and now he teaches his disciples, the first thing he does when he becomes a teacher is not to learn from martial arts powerhouses in various countries to increase his martial arts understanding, but to come to Zhanming Academy to study. Master Qiu Shan recalled the scene when Jiang Bai himself came to Zhanming School Palace to study, how Jiang Kui was angry at that time, blamed him for not missing his main business, and even once wanted to come to the School Palace to force Jiang Bai to go back. In fact, it's not that Jiang Kui doesn't value the scribes, the two constitute the cornerstone of a country, both are indispensable, Jiang Kui also knows this truth, but Jiang's lineage has reached the peak of Yin with martial arts, Jiang Bai's martial arts talent is so outstanding and transcendent, as his brother, for the country and the family, Jiang Bai can not be driven by Jiang Bai, after all, in such an era, in the final analysis, it is the force that has the final say, not to mention that Jiang Bai studied Wenzhi, in Jiang Kui's opinion, there is no talent, Jiang Bai is lonely, just in line with the sword is lonely, and the literati's flowery intestines, Jiang Bai couldn't learn at all, and in the end, Jiang Bai left, Jiang Kui even stopped Master Qiushan's chariot on the street, scolded him, and bluntly said that the scholar misled the country, and the resentment was that Master Qiushan caused Yin Guo to lose a Sword Sect.

Thinking of this, Master Qiu Shan sighed, he did blame himself for Jiang Bai's departure, but he never regretted teaching Jiang Bai because of this, and teaching was the avenue in his heart. In fact, the person who has reached the peak in the cultural rule is not a lonely person.

Wei Feng's figure had already entered the Yandao University Hall, Master Qiu Shan retracted his gaze and collected his thoughts, and finally he couldn't help but wonder slightly, what kind of realm did this disciple of Jiang Bai reach in the martial arts......

Yandao University Hall is located in the center of Zhanming School Palace, it is the largest building in the School Palace, the corner of the eaves is extraordinarily solemn, the main entrance of the School and the gate of the School Palace are far away, between the two doors are hundreds of stone steps, so that the Yandao University Hall is full of high and high momentum. The rest of the school buildings of the school palace are neatly arranged around the Yandao University Hall, showing the trend of arch guards, but the terrain is level with the main entrance of the school palace. Behind this whole house, there is a playground for students to exercise their physique, the area is as large as all the buildings in front of the school palace, standing on a high place overlooking the entire Zhanming school palace, you can clearly see that the overall rectangular school palace is divided into two parts of the school house and the playground from the middle.

At this time, it was Mo Rang who was lecturing for all the new students in the Yandao University Hall, and the main lecture was love. Morang first talked about benevolence, counted the importance and shortcomings of benevolence, and then elaborated on his own idea of benevolence, and then discussed the difference between benevolence and benevolence, and the inheritance and development of benevolence.

Mo Rang sat down with the new students who were quite unimpressed by what Mo Rang said, although they made a look of listening carefully, but the look on their faces could not be fake, Mo Rang obviously did not know the behavior of these noble children, but seriously told about his own doctrine, Mo Rang's ideas were very simple, he thought that no matter who sat in the audience, as long as one more person heard what he was thinking, it would always have a certain positive meaning.

Of course, there were also people in the audience who listened carefully to what Mo Rang said, and Wei Feng was one of them. While listening to the lecture, he thought that it really made sense for the master to let him come to Anyang to study, at least the current Mo Master on the stage, if everyone in the world can do what Mo Master said, there will definitely be no more conquest and killing in this world, and people will be able to live a stable and happy life......

On this day, the Zhanming School Palace opened, and Wei Feng's life in Anyang officially began. According to the chronology of the Spirit Clan, this day is February 6, 1269 A.D.
