The Jixia School Palace was built in the Warring States period, and the famous "Hundred Schools of Thought" in history is centered on this place.

With Qin Shi Huang ruling the world, the Jixia School Palace also dissipated in the long river of history with the demise of the Qi State. It was not until the Three Kingdoms were established later, from Wei, Shu, Wu, to Xia, Tang, and Qi, that they slowly recovered.

After the restoration of the Qi State, the rulers admired the strength of the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period and always devoted themselves to the great cause of unification. And the first major thing done was to rebuild the Jixia School Palace, which represented the prosperity of the Qi Kingdom.

The world has changed, the years have changed, and today's Jixia School Palace has long been reborn and has become the symbol of the entire Qi country, and even ranks among the "three holy places" in the world.

In the final analysis, the "Three Holy Lands" are nothing more than tools created by various countries to maintain their rule. Under the deliberate creation of the imperial court and the word of mouth of the people, it was shrouded in a layer of mystery.

In order to win the hearts of the people and speed up the integration of ethnic groups, Zao Wou-ki, the king of Xia, who had an unstable foundation, hoped to establish such a sect and let the people form a unified faith. It's a pity that with the accident more than ten years ago, the status of the Holy Sect plummeted, and it turned into a despised "Demon Sect".

Compared to the Divine Martial Sect, the status of the Great Snow Mountain is much purer. It is not so much to respect a mountain, but to say that the Tang Dynasty court is to promote a person - a person who has a profound influence on the Tang Dynasty.

The people did not know the process of the rebellion that year, but the result was there: Mu Jingfeng had one person and one sword, resisting the wolf-like Xia Guoxiong soldiers. In the minds of the people of Datang, he is the patron saint of Datang. As long as he is there, Datang will be like having a Dinghai God Needle.

Therefore, the establishment of the Great Snow Mountain is to a greater extent to stabilize the people's hearts and let the people have a sustenance in their hearts.

Unlike the previous two holy places, the existence of the Jixia School Palace does not seem to have much to do with "Wu", although there lives a Wei Zhongtian, who is one of the "Three Great Grandmasters".

As the birthplace of Confucianism, Qi's pursuit of "Confucianism" is almost pathological. In addition, the geographical location makes them not affected by war, and the whole country of Qi is heavy on literature and light on military force, and everyone is proud of having a ravine. In this big back. Under the scene, the way to "enter the office" has become particularly narrow, as if only students who have come out of the Jixia School Palace can be regarded as authentic court officials.

It can be said that the Jixia School Palace is the foundation that supports the Xia Imperial Court.

Due to the transcendent status of the Xue Palace, the annual "Jixia Festival" has become the top priority of the Qi country.

Although the event is held every year in the spring, the invisible war has already begun. When attending the event becomes the only way for students to get ahead, all parts of the country will squeeze their heads for a spot. The dignitaries and nobles are even more desperate, and they must let their children enter the school palace to lay the foundation for the glorious lintel of their father's business in the coming days, which can be seen from Pang Guangdaken's countless efforts to send Pang Zijing to Nishan to participate in the local debate.

The event is divided into five days, the first two days are written examinations, and those with excellent written test results can participate in the debate. After two more days of debate, the three most outstanding students will stand out from everyone and become the brightest stars of the event.

With such a romantic figure, it is almost certain that he will soar in the future.

The written test scene was dull, and King Qi naturally wouldn't participate, he just needed to see the most outstanding students of Qi State show their best side. Therefore, on the last day of the Jixia event every year, the top three who stood out from more than 100 people debated in the "Shengde Hall", and King Qi would personally attend to add another fire to the already hot event.

This year's Jixia event is undoubtedly more lively, because in addition to the King of Qi and a cadre of important ministers, there are also envoys from the Tang Dynasty.

Invisibly, the pressure on the Jixia School Palace doubled.

The students who are known as the holy land of the heavenly people naturally can't lose face in front of the Tang people, and let the guys from the Western barbarians see what the real Confucian heirs are!

The weather is sunny, there is no wind, and the square in front of the palace is under the school.

"Greetings to Your Majesty! Welcome to the Datang Messenger! ”

When Li Yu, the king of Qi, and Tang An entered the school palace accompanied by a group of ministers, all the students and the teachers of the school palace knelt on the ground, and the scene was spectacular.

Blue sky and white clouds, red tiles and green trees. In front of the main hall, the ministers bowed.

The grand scene made Li Yu extremely satisfied, a smug smile appeared on his pale face, and he turned his head to Tang An and said, "Tang Envoy, this is the world-famous Jixia School Palace." The Jixia Festival is an annual event of Daqi, but the students have never gone to other places, and they do not know how big the world is and how many capable people there are, and they hope that the special envoy will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Although the words were polite, they could not hide the smugness in their tone. Just looking at his confident expression, it is not difficult to guess his mind - where else in this world can surpass Jixia School Palace in "literature"? No kidding.

"Your Majesty is serious. Jixia School Palace is famous all over the world, and the students all have something in their hearts, and they have done their best to revitalize Daqi, and Tang has always been yearning. To be fortunate to be in the Holy Land today is really a matter of my life. It's too late to learn, so where can you dare to teach in vain? ”

Tang An made a very modest statement, which greatly increased the favor of Li Yu and the ministers. But only he knows in his heart how naïve such a "grand event" that only emphasizes pomp and competition with gorgeous rhetoric but is not pragmatic.

Like those high-ranking students in the Tang Dynasty, the status of Jixia School Palace is so high, it is strange that the students who are in this place do not boast of being superior. If these people do not go deep into the fields and do not bend down to dig into the masses to dig out the sufferings of the people, how can they do practical things for the people? And living in the dream of the Celestial Empire and not understanding the development status of other countries, how can we talk about revitalizing the country and rejuvenating the country?

The Jixia School Palace is really as powerful as the legend, and the Qi Kingdom will not be reduced to the situation it is today.

If Tang An were to give a definition here, it would only be eight words.

False and flashy.

It's a pity that Li Yu can't detect this hidden feeling in the depths of his heart. He smiled politely and said, "Tang Envoy is really too polite, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Looking at the figure of the two of them walking through the square together, Xie Yuan, who was following the back of the team, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He raised his head, glanced in the direction of the back mountain, and muttered to himself, "Old fellow, don't let me down." Whether the Qi country is prosperous or not, it's all up to you......"

*********************************************

The main hall of the Jixia School Palace is called the "Sacred Virtue Hall". When Tang An walked through the spacious square to the front of the hall, he was surprised to find two people standing on the steps.

An old man with a white beard stood at the gate, his slightly rickety back and wrinkles all over his face, making him look like he could even straighten his waist into a luxury. It's just that he has been immersed in books all year round, but he has cultivated a body of immortal air, which looks a little dusty.

There is no need to ask, he is naturally the master Lu Weiran, one of the "Four Masters of Qi State".

And behind him, a young man with a gentle smile turned out to be Tang An's old acquaintance and rival in the cold.

Seeing him, Tang An's heart was somewhat unnatural. Fuck, I've been pretending to be my big cousin for so long, and I'm really embarrassed to meet at first glance.

"Your Majesty."

Lu Weiran was supported by the cold love, and struggled to bend down, and said, "Old man... See Your Majesty! ”

"Master can't help it!" Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and Lu Weiran also took advantage of the situation and straightened up.

In the Qi Kingdom, the master was the leader of the school palace and sent countless talents to the imperial court. The first master was the emperor's teacher, and later there was a rule that "the master does not worship the king", which showed the emperor's importance to the palace.

When Li Yu approached, he bowed slightly and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

"You don't have to be polite." Li Yu smiled and said to Lu Weiran: "The widow is entangled in affairs, and he can't get out of his body to visit him for many days, I don't know how the master is doing recently?" ”

Lu Weiran smiled and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, the old man has been doing well recently. It's just that people are old and want to continue to contribute to the school palace, but their mental strength is not enough. These days, the affairs of the school palace have been handled with affection. Seeing that he is becoming more and more stable, the old man can also entrust the school palace to him with peace of mind. ”

Li Yu glanced at the snub and said with a smile: "The true inheritance of the master who has always been deeply affectionate, regardless of knowledge and character, is the best choice. Choosing him as the successor of the school palace, the master can rest assured. ”

Damn, is this going to be passed on? Damn, this little white face has become the boss of one of the "Three Holy Lands", but Lao Tzu is just a trick in the Snow Mountain, will his status be a little inferior to him?

Lu Weiran glanced at Tang An, who was full of concern, and asked, "This is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

Hearing him mention himself, Tang Anxin was suddenly, and without waiting for Li Yu's introduction, he hurriedly bent down to take the gift of his juniors: "The younger Tang An, I have admired the master for a long time, and I am really fortunate to have the fate to meet him today." ”

Lu Weiran nodded and said, "I didn't expect Xihou of Datang Town to be so young, and he is really a hero out of a young man." In love, you have to be close to Hou Ye. ”

Leng Luoqing took a deep look and said with a smile: "Hou Ye is young and promising, and he is an example of Luoqing learning." The Hou Ye was polite, and he was in the cold. ”

Fuck, I didn't expect this stinky boy to act like a play, and I still think that he is an elm pimple who reads dead books, and when he meets, he will definitely identify "you are not who is who".

However, he was so "sensible", which saved Tang An a lot of trouble, and the prevarication that he had already thought of "Your Excellency recognized the wrong person" was completely useless.

Tang An put on a "first meeting" appearance and said with a smile: "Look up for a long time!" Mr. is the heir of Jixia School Palace, and he is rich in five cars and eight buckets, and he hopes that Mr. Leng will not hesitate to teach him. ”

Xie Yuan, who was hiding behind everyone, saw this scene and cursed again in his heart: hypocrisy!

Li Yu said: "Okay, both of them are rare talents, don't be humble to each other, let's not let the students wait for a long time, let's enter the hall first." ”

Lu Weiran turned sideways to give way and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please, Master Hou, please!" ”

The interior of the temple is transparent and bright, and the center is dedicated to the 12-meter-high portrait of Confucius. When Li Yu came to the hall, he sat side by side with his master in the chief, and the other scholars who accompanied Li Yu were mostly gray-haired, walking tremblingly in vain, as if they would fall to the ground if they were not careful.

After a lot of humility, Tang An politely rejected the hypocrisy and humility of the old men on the grounds of his youth, and sat in the penultimate seat on the side seat, while Feng Zhiyao, who was the leading envoy, sat at the bottom seat.

In fact, this is already a great gift, if it weren't for her status, she alone would be a woman, I am afraid that it would be difficult for her to enter such a temple in her lifetime. For example, the six Avengers elites who accompanied Tang An could only stand at the door like the Tang guards.

After the guests of honor were seated, the cold feeling who was the host of the debate ceremony stood in the center of the hall and said loudly: "The top three students enter the hall!" ”

Not long after the words fell, the three personable sons strode into the court with their heads held high.

When they came to a distance of about four feet in front of Leng Luoqing, the three of them knelt down together and bowed down to the front, and said in unison: "Master, Your Majesty!" ”
