Walking into the Qingxin Pavilion, Wu Qing was very satisfied with the gatehouse of the Qingxin Pavilion, and there was a feeling of a academy, and the couplet he made up: I can't tell enough good stories in the world to laugh at my madness, and I can't see through the strange stories in the world. It was carved into a peach charm and hung on both sides.

Wu Qing knew that although the Tang Dynasty had peach charms and the habit of carving words on them, they had not yet formed a couplet at this time, and the readers in Chang'an did not think so, so they did not make it difficult for Wu Qing to be shallow in his knowledge.

Walking into the Qingxin Pavilion, except for some handymen who were cleaning the cloisters of the courtyard, there was no one else in sight. Wu Qing was depressed, asked about his study, and walked towards the Dark Incense Pavilion.

The Dark Fragrance Pavilion is located in the center of the Qingxin Pavilion, it is a three-story wooden structure attic, and a few plum trees are planted in the corner of the courtyard wall.

Wu Qing's heart moved, and he sang: "There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone." I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”

"Good poetry!"

I saw a Confucian scholar in his twenties and a middle-aged man with a short stature walking out of the Dark Incense Pavilion.

The Confucian scholar bowed and said, "Student Li Fengxiao has seen the teacher. ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, standing still, is this an apprentice? Then he laughed and said, "Very good, very good, no need to be polite." Then he looked at the short middle-aged man on the side and asked, "Dare to ask who you are?" ”

The middle-aged man said in the half-baked Tang language: "The student is the prince of Japan, and I hope to worship the teacher as a teacher, and the student is grateful." A ninety-degree bow, and then maintained this posture, waiting for Wu Qing to agree.

This Nima is Japanese, isn't it called the Wa Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty, how can it be called Japan? What Wuqing didn't know was that after Emperor Gojong pacified Goryeo and defeated the Wa Kingdom, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom changed the name of Japan to the "Land of the Rising Sun". This time, the envoy sent to Datang also presented his national credentials, and came to learn the advanced culture of Datang and so on. Among them, this prince of Shin is one of the princes of the emperor's ** letter.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the prince came to Datang, he was shocked by the prosperity of Datang, and he also didn't want to go back, and he had also heard Wuqing's storytelling, and he had admired Wuqing for a long time.

After thinking about it, Wu Qing felt that Japan in this period should not have future generations, and Japan in this period has been yearning for the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Moreover, some Japanese were also officials in the DPRK and were given the surname Li. It's okay, I said yes first. If it is possible to buy those desert islands rich in silver and gold, then you will not have to work hard to do business in your life.

"Well, Xinsang, Datang and Japan are very friendly countries, since Xinsang you are willing to worship me as a teacher, then follow and learn from me as a teacher in the future, so that I can spread the culture of my Datang to you Japan, so that the Japanese people can also bathe in the rain and dew of my Datang." Wu Qing said shamelessly.

The Japanese were overjoyed, and they bowed to the shrine again, and they were so excited that they even said a few words of "Japanese".

Wu Qing walked into his study and saw two Shu brocades and two golden things on the bookcase, Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked at it, Nima turned out to be gold!

Wu Qing pointed to those things and asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Fengxiao arched his hand and said: "These two Shu brocades are for the students to honor the teacher, and the twenty taels of gold belong to the prince of Xin." ”

Wu Qing was overjoyed in his heart, is this the so-called apprenticeship? But his face was furious, and he said, "Are you bribing me?" Do you want me to lose face? ”

Li Fengxiao hurriedly said: "Teacher, this is stipulated by Emperor Gaozu, and the apprentices who enter the Hongwen Pavilion, Taixue, and Guozixue must have apprenticeship gifts." ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and smiled in his heart, he didn't expect that Emperor Gaozu still understood that it was not easy for scholars to understand, and it was indeed a good thing to increase the income of teachers in this way. Wu Qing didn't say anything more. Then I asked them about their situation.

Li Fengxiao is a native of Weizhou, Longyou, and can be regarded as a side branch of the Li family in Guanlong, and is a student apprentice of the four sects. Felt that there was no hope in the imperial examination of the Ming Jing and Jinshi, so he transferred to the Qingxin Pavilion as an apprentice, one he liked the Qingxin Pavilion created by Wuqing, and the other he also saw that Wuhou and Gaozong were more important to Wuqing, if Wuqing entered the court in the future, then he could also follow the light. What Wu Qing didn't know was that one of Li Fengxiao's descendants was named Li Chaowei, who wrote a legendary novel "The Biography of Liu Yi".

As for this Japanese prince of Shin, he admires Wu Qing's talent and learning, and wants to pass on Wu Qing's learning to Japan, but what Wu Qing didn't expect was that Prince Shin's granddaughter Zi Ji wrote the famous Japanese "The Tale of Genji".

That's for later.

Since there are two students, they have to be taught, but fortunately, the Japanese also learned Tang characters and Tang dialect when they were in Japan, so it is not difficult to teach.

At the moment, Wu Qing was not verbose, so he asked the two students to sit down in the study, and asked the servants to burn three charcoal stoves, which was really a little cold. Wu Qing didn't understand that the dignitaries and nobles of the Tang Dynasty still wore silk and satin in winter, and those noble ladies and girls showed half of their breasts, wouldn't it be cold? Aren't you afraid of freezing?

Wu Qing saw the two students sitting in a precarious position, coughed lightly, and said, "The purpose of my Qingxin Pavilion is 'fresh and elegant, clear heart and pure way.'" I hope you will be able to experience it deeply in your future studies. The Holy Lord ordered me to collect folk and vulgar things in the Qingxin Pavilion, and to be honest, I really don't know how to collect them. From south to north, from west to east, there are Turkic terroirs in the north, Lingnan humanities in the south, Tubo folk customs in the Western Regions in the west, and Wuyue culture in the east. There are so many that I can't do it alone. Rather, it depends on thousands of people of my generation to collect and perhaps complete. ”

Lee Bong-hyo asked, "Mr.'s words are reasonable, but what should we do now?" ”

Wu Qing smiled: "Naturally, there is. First of all, you must understand that my Qingxin Pavilion is not the Hongwen Pavilion that is in charge of etiquette, nor is it the Guozi School that is in charge of Confucianism, nor is it calligraphy, arithmetic, or law, but everyone's learning. All parties say that the Qingxin Pavilion can collect its essence, remove its dross, and use it for my Qingxin Pavilion. Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Moism, Yin and Yang, or even Buddhism, they can all be used by my Qingxin Pavilion. ”

Wu Qing drew a huge blueprint, and then ignored Li Fengxiao's surprised expression, and continued: "My Qingxin Pavilion is not only concerned with the above knowledge, but also about the life of the people, which I call 'people's livelihood', so the Qingxin Pavilion should focus on the development of agriculture, water conservancy, transportation, commerce, medicine, and other miscellaneous sciences. With these, my Qingxin Pavilion can be regarded as all-encompassing, accepting all the strange people in the world, and making a feasible way for the emperor to govern the country. In order to make my Tang Dynasty prosperous. ”

Li Fengxiao was said by Wu Qing to boil his blood, a handsome face rose red, such a great idea, once realized, it will be a glorious cause, and he will also participate in it, Li Fengxiao said: "Students will follow the teacher all their lives and strive for the teacher's ambition." ”

The Japanese are also very happy, but he is still struggling with whether to return to Japan.

Wu Qing took a sip of tea, almost didn't spit it out, these slaves, who didn't know his taste, actually put spices, held back the feeling of nausea, and said: "The road ahead is very long, I believe that I am not fighting alone, because, I still have you." The "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" I wrote can be carefully read and copied by you, and by the way, I will teach you the way of storytelling. ”

Li Fengxiao and the Japanese looked at each other and smiled, their eyes showed surprise, both of them came to learn the way of storytelling, they thought that they would be able to get their wishes after going through arduous tests, but they didn't expect that they could learn so quickly.

Wu Qing smiled in his heart, I know that you are here to learn my skills, but there are more storytellers, won't this entertainment culture be enriched? As the originator of storytelling, is it necessary to add another title, a great storyteller?

"Don't be too happy, although I allow you to say "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but you also have to learn to create, only by creating countless works by yourself can I make my Qingxin Pavilion embark on the road of growth. Otherwise, it may not be a few years before the business will be closed. ”

"Students follow the teachings."
