Ma Rong has thousands of disciples, and there are more than 400 people who have been following him for many years, and more than 50 of them are excellent.

Although there are many disciples, he only personally teaches a few talented people, and the rest of the students are taught by these people.

Because Zheng Xuan is older, his personality is taciturn, and he doesn't like to show off, after he enrolled in school, he was not valued by Ma Rong for three years, and he never even saw Ma Rong.

But Zheng Xuan did not relax his studies because of this, and still studied and recited day and night, without slackening.

Once, Ma Rong and his high-level disciples were calculating the problem of the heavens, and when they encountered a problem and could not solve it by themselves, some people said that Zheng Xuan was good at mathematics, so they summoned him to meet him.

As a result, Zheng Xuan successfully solved the problem on the spot, and his quick thinking made Ma Rong and the disciples present amazed.

Ma Rong sighed to Lu Zhi: "I am not as good as you!" ”

Since then, Ma Rong has attached great importance to Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan has asked the teacher for advice on the difficult problems found in his usual study but not solved.

For the mystery of the book, we will explore the subtleties and secrets, and we will study them carefully, and finally make further progress.

This time, Ma Rong retired and specially recommended him to Liu Zhi.

For Zheng Xuan, Liu Zhi knew a little about his previous life, he was a famous scholar and mathematician in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and he was poor all his life, and because Emperor Ling had recommended him, he was affected by the "disaster of the party".

Since then, he has been suppressed for 14 years and is not allowed to go out.

But he was famous, and many scholars joined his disciples, and Zheng Xuan devoted himself to writing books and teachings, and created "Zheng Xue".

His greatest contribution was to unify the commentaries on the scriptures, so that all kinds of commentaries since the Han Dynasty were abolished and became "the sect of the world".

Zheng Xuan was a real celebrity and literati, and he was called many times in his life, but he refused to accept it, and even offered the emperor Xu Da Sima was rejected by him.

His integrity and ethics are respected by the world, and even the Yellow Turban Rebel Army admires him.

Therefore, Gaomi County, where he sits, has become the only place in the Central Plains that has not been looted by military disasters.

At that time, it was called Zheng Xuan's "book full of books, from learning tens of thousands", the Later Han Book also respected him very much, and later Qinghe Cui's family, Donglai Wang's family, Shanyang Xi family and other big families have studied from him.

Although Ma Rong has many disciples, only Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi are famous.

And the reason why Lu Zhi is famous is because he recommended Zheng Xuan, and secondly because he has Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan under him.

If it is only in terms of academic achievements, Lu Zhi is far worse than Zheng Xuan.

Liu Zhi summoned Zheng Xuan to the Zhongde Hall and talked with him heartily.

Although Taifu Ma Rong is full of wealth, for Liu Zhi, his thinking is too outdated and does not fit in with him.

But Zheng Xuan is different, the era of his rapid growth is the era when Liu Zhi used various technologies and ideas to change the Han Dynasty.

Coupled with the introduction of ancient Roman doctrine, the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty has been strongly impacted.

This was an era of rapid deformation and integration of ideological concepts, and Liu Zhi adopted a rather relaxed policy towards various philosophical views.

Although the dominant position of Confucianism has not been shaken, it has been mixed with many other elements, and it is more flexible than before.

Liu Zhi has not yet made a prince, several princesses and princes go to school together, Li Ying, Chen Fan, Du Mi, Wang Chang, etc. will find time to go to class.

For the candidate of the crown prince and the prince, he attaches great importance to the future successor of the dynasty, who may not be the most intelligent and capable, but he must be open-minded and tolerant.

Therefore, an open-minded teacher who is good at teaching students according to their aptitude is very important.

Zheng Xuan's talent is definitely qualified, but as a Confucian orthodox master, will his ideology be too traditional and conservative?

This is Liu Zhi's biggest concern, if he can't meet the requirements at this point, even if he is talented, he will not choose.

After all, the prince does not need to be a master of scripture in the future, as long as he is reasonable, what he needs more is the way of the emperor and the way to govern the country.

Zheng Xuan's appearance is very simple, dressed in blue and gray cloth, clean and tidy, with a calm face and graceful bearing, giving people a feeling of poetry and books.

Sure enough, it is very mastery, compared with the exquisite elegance of his teacher Ma Rong, it is completely two extreme styles.

"I heard that Kang Cheng intends to annotate and use ancient texts, I don't know what you think of this text?"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lishu was used, but after hundreds of years of development, Lishu has already undergone great changes.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the prototype of regular script has begun, and it has gradually become a fashion, and the literati at that time referred to the ancient official script as ancient text, and for the new style, it was called modern text.

The old-school literati led by Ma Rong resolutely defended the ancient text and opposed the popularity of the modern language, so the attitude towards the ancient and modern literature can also see whether a person's thinking is enlightened and advanced.

Zheng Xuan gave a salute before replying: "The reason why Xuan annotates in ancient Chinese is because he was entrusted by his teacher.

As for the modern text, it is the inevitable result of the development of writing, and compared with the ancient text, it is more in line with the way of heaven, and the vocabulary is richer, and it can accurately express the meaning. ”

This answer made Liu Zhi appreciate it very much, and it also showed that Zheng Xuan was not as pedantic as his teacher.

"Kang Cheng's annotation of the works of the sages, if there is a controversy and it is difficult to decide, what should we do?"

Liu Zhi's questions are tricky, and no matter how you answer them, they are difficult to be satisfied.

After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Xuan replied easily: "The book of the sages has been in the world for a long time, and it is righteous or appropriate, so it will not be redetermined, and it will be said later." ”

This means that we should adopt an attitude of seeking truth from facts, and if we are not sure, we should not force conclusions, so as not to harm future generations.

Knowledgeable, suspicious, and cautious about the rest, this is Zheng Xuanzhi's attitude to learning, and it is also his attitude towards educating students.

This pragmatic approach has won Liu Zhi's approval, as a teacher, the most intelligent way is not to forcibly instill their own ideas, but to let students discover for themselves.

Next, the two exchanged views on the way of monarchs and ministers, the concept of governing the country, and so on.

Zheng Xuan has a moderate manners, perfect etiquette, and is a humble gentleman, but at the same time he is also a proud person.

It can be said that while Liu Zhi was inspecting him, he was also observing the emperor, to say that the greatest ideal of the ancient literati was to write books and speak, but was Zheng Xuan really so high that he was unwilling to go out?

Naturally, it is impossible, the reason why he did not enter the official career at the end of the Han Dynasty is mainly because the world is too chaotic, and several emperors are mediocre.

A Confucian master who is honest and selfless will not be flattered for the sake of his career.

In recent years, through various policies for governing the country, Zheng Xuan also had a general impression of Emperor Liu Zhi.

First of all, he is definitely not a faint king, otherwise he would not be able to govern the Han so rich and powerful, but he is very contradictory in some aspects.

Sometimes he was arbitrary, completely ignoring the opinions of his courtiers, and sometimes he was eclectic and wise.

Zheng Xuan didn't agree with his various decisions, but he had to admire him, so when the teacher recommended him to be the crown prince, he still decided to be called to meet with the emperor first.

Obviously, the atmosphere of the meeting between the two was relatively pleasant, and on the second day, Liu Zhi announced the official appointment letter.

Zheng Xuan did not shirk it, and immediately took office.

Of the four princes of the royal family, the eldest Liu Wei is thirteen years old, and he is almost as tall as Liu Zhi, and he is already a handsome teenager.

His appearance is biased towards his mother Geng Xian, his body is long, but his facial features are mediocre, and his personality is modest, neither too cheerful, but not quiet.

However, he is talented and intelligent, and he has been good at reading since he was a child, which may also follow his mother.

The second son Liu Zhen's grandfather's family rebelled and was beheaded by the whole family, and his mother Su Jieyu was beaten into the cold palace and died of depression within a few years.

Liu Zhen later worked with Tian Mi's daughter, Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve, and kept in the Yong'an Palace of the Empress Dowager Yun.

He is one year younger than Liu Wei, and now he is also a half-grown teenager, with a personable demeanor, a relatively silent personality, and an old man.

His talent for reading is not as good as that of his brother, and his qualifications are mediocre.

The third son Liu Jin and the fourth son Liu Yu are the twins born to the queen, they are only six years old this year, although they are young, they are also smart and clever, and they are very popular.

Among the three daughters, the eldest daughter Liu Hua is both civil and military, and the second daughter Liu Sleeve is the same year as Liu Wei, also thirteen years old, is a typical lady, likes to embroider female red, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The youngest daughter Liu Ying is twelve years old this year, with a beautiful appearance, among all the children, she has the most no sense of existence, she is a particularly shy little girl, and she is always unknown.

The princesses and princes did not go to school separately, they were all in the palace school, but in different classrooms, Liu Zhi did not have special regulations on what courses they had to take.

Basically, it was arranged by the teacher, and he never interfered.

Occasionally, he would check their progress to see what they had learned.

The twins are still young now, and they are completely in the enlightenment stage, so they can't see anything, but Liu Wei is indeed well-read and memorized, and he is good at classics, arithmetic, and even Gezhixue.

It's just that his personality is too competitive and competitive, but at his age, it is inevitable that he has some fierce temperament, which is not a big problem.

Liu Zhi is similar to his sons, and he manages them strictly, and he doesn't want his children to be similar to Liu Kui's brothers in the future.

After Zheng Xuan took office, he first spent a period of time to understand their personalities and progress, and then slowly adapted to the conditions of the people and taught them separately.

After a period of time, Liu Zhi deliberately took the opportunity of the New Year's family banquet to inspect the progress of several children.

He found that Zheng Xuan's education was fruitful, and the effect was not mainly reflected in the accumulation of knowledge, but in the development and identification of his own character.

For example, Liu Wei, who has a little radical personality, has found a suitable balance between positivity and extremism.

As a result, the character that is not very likable in itself immediately becomes vigorous and vibrant.

and the eldest princess Liu Hua, who values her sense of responsibility above her life, also began to think about the relationship between her personal destiny and the fate of her family and country.

Liu Sleeve, a little lady with a somewhat sad personality, also began to slowly understand the great realm of life that is not happy with things and not sad for herself.

Liu Zhen, who is young and old, has obviously become a lot more cheerful.

Liu Ying, who is cowardly and shy, actually dares to be coquettish with his father.

The two mischievous twins were able to calm down and start reading seriously.

These changes are obvious, and Liu Zhi is deeply gratified, and the highest achievement that a good teacher can achieve is nothing more than that.

It seems that this prince and princess, he really didn't choose the wrong one.

The official rank of the crown prince is not low, but he has no real power, and if he can assist the prince to ascend the throne in the future, he will be a proper prince and a minister.

And this kind of Taifu who grew up with the prince all the way is essentially different from Ma Rong, who is a teacher halfway.

Generally, they can get the respect and dependence of the new emperor, and can participate in the governance of the country and the formulation of national policies, and they have absolute power.

His authority is even equivalent to the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, so the moral character of this candidate is very crucial, and it is related to the direction of the country in the future.

Zheng Xuan's personal character has already been tested by history, there is no doubt about this, and Liu Zhi is also very relieved.

In view of the relatively short life span of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been faint voices in the court, hoping that he can establish a prince as soon as possible.

In history, Emperor Huan Liu Zhi did not live long, only lived to be thirty-six years old, and he is thirty-two years old this year.

But Liu Zhi didn't believe that he would repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, there has been a qualitative leap in the development of medicine in recent years, and he attaches great importance to health preservation and exercise.

I believe that even if you don't live to a longevity age like seventy or eighty years old, at least you won't die young in your thirties.

The children are still young, and if they set up a reserve now, it would be too unfair for them, not to mention that they can't see who is more suitable for the time being.

The king of a country is not a joke, nor is he appointed whoever he likes, but it still depends on who is more suitable to stand in this position.

Because a big celebration was held in the middle of the year, the first day of the sixth year of Jianning was celebrated, and everything was simple, and only the foreign envoys who stayed in Beijing participated.

After the regular banquet, they went back to their respective homes, Liu Zhi held a family banquet in Yong'an Palace, and dozens of people from a large family gathered together, which was very lively.

This situation is basically not seen in modern times, the ancient clan concept is very heavy, and if the parents are there, the son will not be separated.

Often ordinary people have more than a dozen people, and it is very common to meet people who are prosperous or the elderly in the family are long-lived, and it is also common for thirty or forty people to get together.

The people of this era have different concepts, and they pay attention to taking into account the overall situation, so the family conflicts are not as acute and prominent as those in later generations.

During the New Year's Festival, it is more enjoyable, especially for the elderly, who love to see a family love each other.

The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that greatly respected filial piety, and before Liu Zhi carried out the imperial examination, the most important way to enter the official career was to promote filial piety.

The so-called "filial piety" is literally understood as filial piety and honesty, which shows the status of "filial piety" in the concept of the Han Dynasty.

Due to the excessive respect for filial piety, and even the concept has been somewhat deformed, among the twenty-four filial piety, several stories occurred in the Han Dynasty.

Especially Guo Ju'er, such a filial piety story makes modern people shudder to read, but it was actually a model of filial piety at the time.

Liu Zhi himself is also very filial, but he opposes such cruel and deformed filial piety.
