Chapter 395: Four Books and Five Classics
Imperial capital of Chu.
It has been more than half a month since the empress ascended the throne, and the imperial capital has also recovered from the initial depression and undercurrent surge, except for the replacement of the king of Chu, there has been no change, and everything has returned to calm.
After the empress ascended the throne, she did two things, one was to bury the body of King Chu Heng in the imperial mausoleum three thousand miles south of the imperial capital, and the second thing was to order all the academy deans in the Chu State to go to the imperial capital to enter the palace to meet the empress, as for the reason for the time being, there is no way to know.
In the territory of Chu State, the establishment of the academy requires certain requirements, it is different from the sectarian forces only need to find a piece of land to write a name to recruit disciples, as long as the strength of the sect is strong enough, it can be famous all over the world; the academy is not good, first of all, if the academy wants to be established, it must be officially recognized, that is, the approval of the local government, and it is necessary to report to the government and obtain the license for the establishment of the academy; secondly, the candidate for the president of the academy must also listen to the opinions of the government, at least in terms of character and cultivation, it must meet the standards of the government, and it must also be a native of Chu.
To put it bluntly, in fact, no matter which country it is in, the academy is semi-in the hands of the state, and the academy can make its own decisions on small matters, but in case of big things, it must be approved by the government, otherwise it is a violation of the law, and the government will punish the academy to a certain extent, and if the circumstances are serious, the academy will be closed.
The difference between the academy and the sect is different, the sect teaches how to practice, and the scope of the academy teaching is relatively wide, such as how to teach the children to lead the troops to fight, how to teach the children to govern one side, and of course, how to teach the children how to practice.
Therefore, most of the students who come out of the academy will enter the state institutions, serve the country, and replenish fresh blood to the country.
This is also the reason why every country will control the academy in its own hands in disguise, because the future rise and fall of a country depends largely on the students sent by these colleges.
As the saying goes, if the youth is strong, the country is strong, and this sentence is applicable everywhere.
Zhou Wuji, as the vice president of Zhenguan Academy, also received a summons order from the empress, and had to rush back to the imperial capital from Watanabe Town, but fortunately, he reported his name first through his daughter's relationship, and now he only needs to wait for the magic bookstore to announce the date of the opening of the sermon, and then rush back to listen to the lecture.
Zhou Wuji didn't know much about the new emperor, but he knew that the empress was the president of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, the ninth princess of Chu State, and had a deep friendship with the owner of the magical bookstore, and the Wantong trading market that his daughter now controls is the empress's handiwork, but I don't know why she suddenly transferred the Wantong trading market to Zhu Aya some time ago, and then suddenly returned to the imperial capital and became the empress......
He Zhou Wuji thinks that he is also a high-level of the Chu State, and he knows the secrets of many countries, but this time King Chu Heng died, and he didn't even react to the empress's accession to the throne, and he didn't even guess the reason for all this until later.
"Wuji has something on his mind?" In the main hall, there are hundreds of deans and vice presidents from the major colleges in the Chu State, everyone is waiting for the empress to summon them in the main hall, as the dean of Zhenguan Academy, the canonization of Great Chu, Chu Sheng will naturally not be absent, kneeling on the seat of Zhou Wuji, looking at Zhou Wuji with a smile.
"No, it's just that I suddenly got distracted, thank you for your concern. Zhou Wuji smiled and gave up his hand, it has been twenty years since he became the vice president of Zhenguan Academy, and he has dealt with Chu Sheng for more than twenty years, but until now he has no way to guess Chu Sheng's thoughts, especially after this time, Zhou Wuji is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
"Hmm......" Chu Sheng nodded slightly, and did not continue, but began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Zhou Wuji silently withdrew his gaze, his hands hanging down to his knees, intertwined, his thumbs turning back and forth.
In the main hall, there was a calm, and hundreds of deans and vice presidents from the major colleges in the Chu State were all silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" A sharp voice sounded, and Gongsun Qiong, dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked in from outside the main hall.
Everyone in the hall stood up in unison, bowed their heads slightly, and greeted the arrival of the empress.
Gongsun Qiong walked up the steps, knelt beside the dragon case, looked at the hundreds of deans and vice presidents of the major colleges standing below, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone thanked them in unison, they knelt down and sat back in their places, one by one, waiting for the empress to speak.
This time, the empress suddenly summoned all the deans and vice presidents of the colleges and vice-presidents in Dachu to gather in the imperial capital, which not only made outsiders unclear, but even the deans and vice presidents who were summoned were also at a loss, and they didn't know the reason for being summoned at all.
But what can be known is that this time the momentum is huge, and the matter will naturally not be small.
Especially since the empress has just ascended the throne, as the new emperor, she must do several major things to establish her prestige and increase the people's recognition of her.
"This time I gathered everyone in the imperial capital, mainly because there was one thing I wanted to announce to you. Gongsun Qiong's voice sounded slowly, and the high-level members of the academy under His Highness were slightly startled when they heard it.
Although it is a short sentence, everyone heard a different flavor from the word 'announce', the empress summoned them to gather in the emperor, but it was only announced with them, not to discuss with them, and it was not a good thing for the king to announce things in such a big battle......
Gongsun Qiong looked at the different expressions of the people below, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and continued: "Actually, this matter is not a big deal, and it is not a big deal, but it should be more beneficial than bad for the academy, so you don't have to worry." ”
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as they didn't take advantage of their academy, they didn't dare to hope for benefits.
"Show the books to the deans. Gongsun Qiong waved her hand slightly, and the palace maids who had been waiting on both sides of the hall came with plates.
Everyone turned their heads yearning and looked at the contents of the palace maids' plates.
"Books?" An unknown dean looked at the plate handed in front of him, and subconsciously reached out to pick up a book inside.
"Spring and autumn?"
"The Book of Songs?"
"Mencius?"
"Analects?"
“......”
His Royal Highness, there was a sound of small mouths one after another, and the deans of the major colleges all picked up the books handed over by the palace maid with puzzled faces and flipped them.
There are a total of nine books in the plate, namely: "Analects", "The Mean", "University", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", of which the first four are called the four books, and the last five are called the Five Classics, which together are the Four Books and the Five Classics. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't understand why the empress suddenly came up with such nine books, four books and five classics, and they hadn't heard of it......
However, Zhou Wuji, who was kneeling below, frowned, looking at the "Analects" in his hand, if he remembered correctly, this "Analects" seemed to be an epic quality book in the Magical Bookstore, and he had been reading the books in the Magical Bookstore for a while, Zhou Wuji still had a little research on the quality of the books in the Magical Bookstore, this one was divided according to the quality of the books in the Magical Bookstore, and it was obviously not the epic quality "The Analects", but the name was the same, which was really strange.
In fact, a small number of people among the hundreds of people have gone to the transitional border towns, and some of them are also puzzled after getting the book "Analects", thinking of the book in the magical bookstore, but because of the wrong color, they dare not confirm it, so they can only guess in their hearts what the empress meant.
