Chapter 457: The sages gather to move through the city
Since the Hundred Lectures are held by Dawen, then no matter what, Dawen himself must have enough people to attend, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong and others discussed for a long time, and finally agreed on the list of people to participate in this event.
Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi, Huang Kuankuan, Wen Yuancai, Guo Fengjie six people, plus Wu Xue and Li Huan who went over to join in the fun, a total of eight people.
After arriving in Yitong City, Yao Ruoyu and the others did not stop in the outer city, and went straight to Yitong Academy.
Song Kai had already learned of the arrival of the people, and was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the arrival of the army, he immediately introduced them into the inner city.
Coming to the eight teaching buildings Gongwei, the doctoral building in the center of the college, Wu Xue and Li Huan ran to play by themselves, and Yao Ruoyu and others came to the top floor of the doctoral building with Song Kai and Bai Junru.
"According to the secret intelligence, there are now seventeen schools of Taoism, Legalism, Confucianism, soldiers, columnists, novelists, and famous scholars, among which Confucianism has the largest number. ”
Walking on the stairs, Song Kai, who was wearing a robe, told Yao Ruoyu about the current situation in a light tone.
Easily took the registration list handed over by the other party, Yao Ruoyu read it again, and said in surprise: "No one from the Mo family has come yet?"
Nodding slightly, Song Kai replied: "Yes, I have already confirmed, the invitation letter has been sent to the Mo family, and I have also sent someone to the border to check, and there is no news of their entry." ”
Yao Ruoyu frowned suddenly, as of now, there is still a certain reputation among the hundreds of princes, except for Confucianism, that is, the Mo family located in Longxing Mansion, and now it is only four days before the official start of the Hundred Schools' Forum, why hasn't the other party arrived so far?
This doubt just flashed in his mind, Yao Ruoyu quickly put it down, compared to the hundred pulpits, it really doesn't matter whether the Mo family is present or not, and since being stationed in Longxing Mansion, the Mo family is only operating an ordnance business, and those thoughts of love and non-attack back then are estimated to have been thrown out of the clouds.
Everyone came to the top floor, sat down one by one, and after the servants served them tea, Yao Ruoyu also read the list in detail.
Most of the Confucians who came this time were Confucians from the Song Dynasty, and the number was extremely large, and they came spontaneously from all over the Song Dynasty, and obviously there was no leader who led them in a unified manner.
As for the legalists, soldiers, and columnists, they are all similar, most of them are the staff of the powerful people of various countries, because Yao Ruoyu specially said when he sent someone to release the message that no matter which country is coming, as long as he does not commit any trouble in the big text, he will definitely not hurt them a hair, so these people dare to come.
In addition to these scattered children from all over China, there are also many scholars from poor families, most of them are from humble backgrounds, and they are not from any school, and they just want to try their luck this time to see if they can meet someone who appreciates them.
And what surprised Yao Ruoyu the most was that there were dozens of monks who had entered Yitong City, and they had come to visit Song Kai five days ago, and they hoped that the hundred pulpits would give Buddhism a lecture hall this time.
Listening to Song Kai talk about the meeting with the Buddhist family that day, Yao Ruoyu was stunned, and Zou Buyi, Huang Kuankuan and others were also surprised, they didn't expect that Da Wenming didn't invite each other, and these guys actually came by themselves.
Glancing at Bai Junru, Song Kai bowed his head and said: "This matter is very important, although the Buddhists are not as strong as in the past in the Song Dynasty, but the mass foundation is strong, I dare not refuse at will, let them go back first and wait for the news, and then make a decision when Brother Yao comes." ”
"You're letting me be a bad guy!" Yao Ruoyu scolded with a smile, touched his chin, and muttered, "I discussed it at the beginning, and I didn't plan to invite the Buddhists, but they came uninvited, which is a bit difficult." ”
Huang Kuankuan hesitated and said: "Lord Wang, the Buddhists are the best at provoking people's hearts with a seven-inch tongue, in the past few dynasties, many kings have believed in the crooked theories of Buddhism, which has led to the decline of the prosperous world. ”
"Lord Huang, are you scared?" Zou Buyi asked with a chuckle.
Huang Kuankuan was stunned when he heard this, Bai Junru sighed when he saw this, and said: "The power of Buddhism's sophistry is indeed awe-inspiring, but this time the hundred pulpits are compared to the policy of governing the country and the people, my Confucianism has inherited more than a thousand years, and has supported countless prosperous generations, how can I be afraid of these foreign monks?"
"Even if you are in awe in your heart, you must not turn it away, otherwise wouldn't it make people think that I am afraid of their Buddhist family?"
Speaking of this, Bai Junru bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Lord, please also let Buddhism participate in this big competition, the old ministers don't believe it, the people will believe them, and they don't believe in my Confucianism's reputation for more than a thousand years." ”
Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly when he saw this, didn't answer, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Kaikai, you send someone to inform them that you will give a lecture hall to the Buddhist family, but it depends on them whether they can advance to the top three in the end." ”
Song Kai clenched his fists and agreed.
Yao Ruoyu said: "Four days later, the big competition will officially begin, but from today onwards, the city will be officially closed, and you are not allowed to enter or exit, and I will seal the gate of the town with Diaoyutai." ”
"Four days later, when the big competition begins, the teachers of the academy and the household officials who accompany them will be responsible for supervision, and you will go back and divide them into groups, and in addition, once you find that there is a ticket buying behavior, you will directly deduct one hundred votes from this school. ”
Everyone bowed their heads solemnly when they heard this, this hundred pulpits are of great significance to Dawen, Yao Ruoyu will definitely not allow any cheating, this is mainly for Bai Junru and Huang Kuankuan, the two Confucian members, to avoid them secretly helping their own school to cheat and buy tickets.
After handling the affairs one by one, everyone dispersed, Zou Buyi, Bai Junru, Huang Kuankuan and others had to prepare the future argument materials, Song Kai had government affairs to be busy, so the only free Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong went downstairs together and wandered around the academy.
Because the ban was temporarily lifted, outsiders could be seen everywhere in the academy, and Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong, who had changed into civilian clothes, were not prominent, chatting while walking in the academy, and it didn't take long to come to the bottom of Bodhi.
"Bodhi Building, is it Bodhi Academy?" Looking at the big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in front of the teaching building, Xu Xuanrong couldn't help but laugh and joked, "You really have a deep love for the school?"
Yao Ruoyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "After all, it's a place where I've been staying for four years, unlike some people, who have only been there for more than half a year!"
"Yo Yo Yo," Xu Xuanrong, who rarely showed a little girlish cunning, pursed his lips and sneered, "I actually learned to fight back!"
"I've been sneered at by you for so many years, I can't help but grow, right?" Yao Ruoyu said with a foolish smile.
Xu Xuanrong smiled dumbly, looked up at the gilded "Bodhi Building", and the scenery in front of his eyes seemed to have changed, the people who came and went around were wearing T-shirts and jeans, and the surroundings were also the mobile college in his memory.
The sun is shining at this time, and the memory is always tender.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Xu Xuanrong suddenly smiled and said, "I suddenly seem to understand a little, why you have always had school feelings." ”
"Gah?" Yao Ruoyu turned his head in surprise, and saw the girl smiling like spring: "After all, it is the place that I have been fighting for for four years, and there is no sudden parting without the slightest process, anyone will have melancholy, right?"
Yao Ruoyu was stunned, but after a long time, he smiled gently, touched the girl's soft long hair, and said with a smile: "It's Dawen, right?"
first glared at the person in front of him, and motioned for this guy's salty pig hand to retract, and then Xu Xuanrong regained his emotional smile: "Yes! Dawen, a place that we people have created little by little, in four years, from scratch, who would have thought that?"
Stretching his arms, Yao Ruoyu tried to relax his body and smiled: "But we did it!"
Speaking of this, Yao Ruoyu suddenly looked at her, and a faint warmth appeared in her eyes: "Moreover, I think there is a sentence that I have never told you." ”
Just when the girl's heart jumped inexplicably, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said: "Thank you! If you hadn't supported me all these years and helped me maintain the overall situation of Wenbang when I was running around, not only might I have been unable to hold on, but even Wenbang might have ...... long ago."
's gratitude to Xu Xuanrong was what Yao Ruoyu wanted to say many years ago, but I don't know if it was the man's so-called self-esteem or Wanyan Fuchan's relationship, so he never had the right opportunity to say this thanks.
Taking advantage of being on campus now, Yao Ruoyu finally said the gratitude that had been pressed in his heart for many years, when he felt that this situation was extremely perfect at this time, and this deep exchange could even make Xu Xuanrong laugh at him when he stopped talking to him for a short time, but his right foot suddenly hurt, and he was actually stepped on by Xu Xuanrong.
Yao Ruoyu, whose physique was already comparable to that of the martial artists of the Five Realms, naturally would not be afraid of the weak kick of the mere spirit master, but he suddenly narrowed his eyes when he was kicked inexplicably, and said in astonishment: "Why are you stepping on me?"
"Step on you stupid! stupid!" Xu Xuan, whose cheeks were crimson, looked at him angrily, and walked away directly, leaving the confused Yao Ruoyu in place.
Scratching her hair, Yao Ruoyu looked at Xu Xuanrong far away in confusion, and didn't think about chasing after her, but she always secretly thought in her heart, where did she suddenly provoke her?
"You guy, you really don't understand the amorous feelings!"
Just when Yao Ruoyu was still puzzled, a young man in purple suddenly walked out of the Bodhi Building, looking at him with a smile.
The moment the two looked at each other, Yao Ruoyu's eyes were pleasantly surprised, and then he turned into cold, and his heart moved, and the sword soul thought had already penetrated his body, but he did not release it at the moment before the outbreak, pressing on the surface of his body and ready to move.
"Is the middle of the sword soul?" Looking at the majestic old man, the corners of the purple-clothed young man's lips flashed with a faint smile.
"This place is your Dawen city-state, there are nine thousand night dragoons stationed nearby, you can get the national strength and military strength at your fingertips, but it is difficult for me to obtain the blessing of Dajin and Mongolia, at this moment, I am indeed no match for you. ”
"So, do you want to make a move? Here, take me? and revenge for all these years I have been secretly calculating your revenge. ”
"My, His Royal Highness King Wen?"
