"In a few days, it will be the middle of November, and Liang Guo will usher in early winter, and the first day of December will be the Beijing imperial examination, and I will go to Beijing to take the exam...... It's really busy to think about. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lu Ming sighed lightly, then put away his thoughts and continued to read the book.

Afternoon.

Lu Ming went to the Academy of Literature and met Mr. Zhuge Yuan.

Today, the Academy of Literature does not teach, and many scholars have already gone to the mountains and rivers, so it seems that the Academy of Literature is very deserted.

At this time, Zhuge Yuan was reading in his study, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he asked, "Who is here?"

"Student Lu Ming, meet Mr. Zhuge . ”

"Come in. ”

"Mr. Xie. ”

Lu Ming opened the door and entered, took the courtesy of his disciple, and said respectfully: "I haven't seen you for many days, sir, I have come to greet you." ”

Zhuge Yuan put down the book, stroked his beard and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”

"Sir knows I'll be coming?", Lu Ming looked surprised.

"Not only did the old man know that you would come, but the old man even knew that you went to Meizhou Island and were almost killed by the Kraken. ”

Zhuge Yuan's tone was flat, as if he was saying something that was not worth talking about.

"It seems that the gentleman does not seem to be worried about the disciple. Lu Ming said with a smile.

"You shouldn't die, why should the old man worry about it in vain?"

Zhuge Yuan suddenly smiled and continued: "It's just that you have been experiencing life and death during this time, I'm afraid that you have fallen behind a lot of homework, right? Seeing that the Beijing exam is approaching, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pass the Hanlin exam?"

"That's what the students are here for. ”

Lu Ming said slowly: "The student has not studied seriously for a long time, and originally wanted to study hard at home, but a person's comprehension ability is always limited, so I specially came to ask Mr. Zhuge for guidance." ”

"You are a famous poet of Liang Guoda, and you are the world-famous Xie Yuan today, your talent is far above others, even if I don't teach you, you can be admitted to Hanlin with your talent, so why come and ask me?"

"Sir's words are wrong, yes, I am indeed Xie Yuan, who has a reputation in Liang State, but my ambition is not in the literary name. ”

"Oh, interesting, you might as well talk about your ambitions. Zhuge Yuan was careless.

Lu Ming's face changed, he thought in place for a moment, and then continued: "I know that Mr. is testing me, if I claim that I want to stabilize the country and the country, it will be a lie, because with my current ability, I can't do it at all." ”

"As a scholar, it is impossible not to have my own ambitions, but for me, the ambition in my heart is only a goal to pursue the Holy Path, a motivation, not a matter of words. ”

"Actually, my ambition is very simple, that is, continuous progress, only by constantly improving my ability, can I contribute to the country and the human race, if I can't even do the word 'progress', what qualifications do I have to talk about ambition?"

Zhuge Yuan nodded approvingly when he heard this, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile on his face, "There are many ways to progress, can't you break out a holy path of your own by yourself?"

Zi said: A gentleman has no food to eat, no shelter to seek peace, is sensitive to things and cautious in words, there is a way and righteousness, and it can be said that he is studious. Although Sir is not famous, he is a rare wise man in the world, I would like to sincerely ask you for advice, and please ask Sir to teach me!"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and saluted Zhuge Yuan with a sincere expression.

"A man has gold under his knees, but he would rather condescend in order to study, such as 'sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask', this kind of sincerity is really valuable. ”

Zhuge Yuan stepped forward to help Lu Ming up, and said with an approving smile: "The teacher knows that you want to do something for the people, but because of your lack of knowledge, your strength is weak, and you are incapable of upholding the right path. ”

However, most people always think that they are young and can spend their time drinking and wasting their time, but they don't know that it is too late to regret it when they really want to learn. ”

When Lu Ming heard this, he said: "I once wrote a poem "Persuasion", and I never dared to forget the sentence 'Black hair does not know how to study early, and white head regrets studying late.'" I have also been inspired to study hard, but if I have the guidance of my husband, I will definitely be able to make greater progress. ”

"Well, since you are so sincere, the old man must do his best. ”

After Zhuge Yuan finished speaking, he took out a stack of books from the Qiankun bag, handed them to Lu Ming and said: "These are all knowledge points in the previous Beijing examinations, including my annotations for some articles, if you can read these books to the end, it should not be difficult to pass this year's Hanlin examination." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Lu Ming was overjoyed to take the book, and put it into his Qiankun bag as if he had obtained a treasure.

"In addition, I want to teach you another skill, if you can grasp the essence of it, you can have the talent of Anbang. ”

"Anbang's talent?"

Lu Ming's face changed, and then he was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that you want to teach me the method of soldiering?"

"Not bad. ”

Zhuge Yuan said with a smile: "Wu Ke Anbang, Wen can govern the country, this can be called a real reader." ”

"Do you want to teach me the Twenty-Four Chapters of the Soldier's Family?", Lu Ming asked expectantly.

"The "Twenty-four Chapters of the Art of War" of our Zhuge family is written by the ancestor Zhuge Kongming, and it is the unique art of war of our family's disciples, and it will never be passed on. ”

"Oh. Lu Ming looked disappointed.

"However, the old man can teach you the Art of War. ”

""The Art of War" I know that there are some chapters in the textbooks of the Academy of Literature, although Sun Sheng eliminated the door and taught it to the world, but without the guidance of the master, no one can get its essence, and it is not easy to understand a little skin. Lu Ming is serious.

Zhuge Yuan said with a smile: "The Art of War" is also the old man's specialized classics, although I dare not say that I am completely proficient, but looking at the Liang Guobing family, I also think that I am one of the best, you can't mention this matter to outsiders." ”

"Students remember. ”

"If you have time this afternoon, let's study the "Beginning of the Plan" first, and I ask you to memorize it without missing a word. ”

"Full back?", Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.

"That's right. ”

Zhuge Yuan said: "If you don't have the art of war in your chest, and the country will be in danger in the future, how can you have the ability to dispatch troops? If you can't even remember the art of war, what qualifications do you have to go to the battlefield?"

What the teacher said was very true, and the students immediately memorized it, and if there was anything they did not understand, they asked the teacher to explain. ”

"Even if you recite it, the old man will never disturb you. ”

After Zhuge Yuan finished speaking, he took out a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and handed it to Lu Ming, then sat down again and continued to read his books.

Lu Ming looked at "The Art of War" and began to recite it.

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. ”

"Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law......"
