Chapter 196: Persuasion
Huo Shufan looked at his grandfather suspiciously, and asked:
"What are you doing when you visit Old Master Wei?"
"Apprentice!"
“…… Why worship a Yue people as a teacher? ”
"Because this Yue Guo Da Confucian is not simple!"
Huo Xi turned his head to look at Huo Shufan, and said: "This is not grandpa's idea, but Li Guifei's idea, although you have the title of the head of the three great talents of Guangling, although you have the status of a lifter, but it is still too low." ”
"Originally, Grandpa wanted you to worship under the Confucianism of the flower boss...... But this old thing doesn't know how to lift, and he refused the 10,000 taels of silver tickets sent by his grandfather! ”
"Grandpa wants Concubine Li's move has two meanings."
"First, this scholar pays attention to a teacher, if you become Wei Xuanmo's disciple, your status as a literati will be higher, and you will become the concubine of the six princesses, and those nobles in Kyoto or those princes and princesses in the palace will also look up to you, which can be regarded as a face for the six princesses."
"Second...... This old master Wei accepted Ji Xiang's invitation the day after he arrived in Kyoto, so it seems that his relationship with Ji Xiang is quite unusual, and if you become his disciple, you can also get closer to Ji Xiang. ”
Huo Shufan pondered for a moment, and his face became more and more puzzled.
He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, my father is a close minister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Let's talk about it, shouldn't our Huo family be on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
"Why did grandpa mention several times that he wanted to get closer to Prime Minister Ji, could it be ...... Could it be that there are some reasons why the grandchildren don't know? ”
Horch stroked his long beard and smiled slightly:
"You will understand, these things are handled by grandpa and your father, and the most important thing for you now is to become Wei Xuanmo's disciple...... Even if it's a name. ”
"Then marry the sixth princess."
"After all, the sixth princess is a woman, and her heart is smaller, so it is normal to restrain you tightly."
"In the future career of the horse, you must not reverse the will of the sixth princess, and you must have a good relationship with Concubine Li...... This is very important to our Huo family! ”
Huo Xi nodded thoughtfully, "Sun Er understands. ”
The carriage stopped, and the grandfather and grandson got out of the carriage and stood in front of the solemn vermilion gate of the Yanguo Mansion.
And at this moment, Wei Xuanmo, the great Confucian of the Yue Kingdom, also took a few of his most proud disciples and stood in front of the huge archway of the Tai Academy.
A tall stone monument has recently been erected next to the archway of Tai Academy.
Wei Xuanmo and his disciples were looking at the stone tablet.
The stele is engraved with a few lines of extremely flowing words:
Establish a heart for heaven and earth!
Make a life for the people!
For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!
Open peace for all generations!
- Li Chen'an!
Wei Xuanmo bowed slightly, looking at these lines of words and looking at half a cup of tea.
Then he stretched out a hand and touched the stone tablet, and then touched the three words Li Chen'an, and then turned to look at his disciples.
"When I was a teacher lecturing here, there was no such stele at that time, and of course there was no school motto engraved on this stele."
"Li Chen'an, this kind of thought-provoking words are what he said!"
"It was when he entered the south gate of Yujing City more than ten years ago, in front of tens of thousands of students and people!"
"As a teacher, I remember that we came to Yujing City, and after you heard Li Chen'an's poems, you didn't seem to take him too seriously...... So what now? ”
He turned around and pointed to the stone tablet again, and said earnestly: "As a teacher, I have traveled to many countries in my life, and I have seen great Confucian celebrities from many countries. ”
"They may have great writings to pass down to the world, or they may have outlines to educate people."
He turned to look at his disciples again, and said very seriously: "The so-called great Confucians in the world are all at the age of knowing their fate and even being obedient. But Li Chen'an, he's only seventeen! ”
"These few words are the most accurate and inspiring words that the teacher has seen in his life, and they describe the purpose of the reader's reading!"
"For the sake of the teacher, it is not an exaggeration to call it a holy word!"
When Yan Biao and the other teenagers heard this, they were taken aback.
Of course, they can also comprehend the lofty ideology in these words, but they never expected that the teacher would actually raise these words so high!
Word ...... Doesn't this mean that he, Li Chen'an, has surpassed the Great Confucian, but can be compared to a saint?
"The teacher knows that you are not convinced, and the teacher will not blame you, you are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, you should be dissatisfied, but ......!"
Wei Xuanmo suddenly aggravated his tone, brushed his white beard, and his eyes revealed a faint worry.
"Have you thought about it?"
If the students of Ningguo really enshrined Li Chen'an's words as holy words, if they really erected a lofty ideal of reading because of this...... There will be huge changes in Ningguo! ”
"Such a change is unpredictable, I think that after one generation, at most three generations, whether it is the officialdom of Ningguo or the people, there will be a new situation!"
"There may still be people in the DPRK and China, but more people are people who work hard for this country!"
"When the atmosphere of officialdom improves, the life of the common people will naturally become better."
"As a teacher, I often tell you that the strength of a country does not depend on how powerful the officials in the court are, but how rich the pockets of the common people are...... Only when the people are strong can the country be rich! ”
"The reverse is not necessarily true, such as that Western Night Country!"
"This is the importance of thought, that is, the spirit that readers should understand from books and from traveling thousands of miles!"
Li Chen'an was only seventeen years old and had already understood, and Lord Hua engraved his words on the stone tablet in front of the archway of this Tai Academy...... Of course, he hoped that these words could awaken the young people of Ningguo and guide these teenagers to pursue the ideals in these words! ”
As a teacher, I also hope that you can humbly keep this sentence in mind! Spread it back to our Yue country, so that our Yue Guo readers can also understand the ultimate meaning of reading! ”
"Only in this way can the Yue Kingdom become stronger and more prosperous, and can it continue to suppress the Ning Kingdom. Otherwise...... After three generations, Yue Guo will no longer be the opponent of Ning Guo! ”
Yan Biao and the others bowed, "Disciple understands." ”
When they looked at the words on the stele again, their expressions were visibly more humble.
It's just a young man's temperament, so he feels that Li Chenan's three words in the end are a bit of an eyesore.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Master Hua."
Wei Xuanmo took a few disciples to step into the tall archway of Tai Academy, and he said as he walked:
"I heard that when I was in Guangling City, Mr. Hua and Li Chen'an hit it off at first sight, and because of Li Chen'an's poems, he became friends with him."
"The teacher took you to visit Hua Lao, not to ask Hua Lao to ask him for any knowledge, but to listen to Hua Lao's story about Li Chen'an."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival Wenhui Emperor Ningguo issued a holy decree to let Li Chenan participate, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for you."
"It's important to know your opponents."
"Of course I don't believe you're going to lose...... But as a teacher, I'm also worried that you will not win easily! ”
