Chapter 434: The Second Teacher
On the way out of the palace to the Egret Academy, Shao Xi still felt a little inexplicable. If it was said that Xiao Yuzhi and Xiao Yuming had called themselves brothers and sisters before, it was almost because they each had their own purposes, but this King Xiao Yu opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call himself his brother, which made Shao Xi feel a little crying and laughing.
Could it be that this royal child likes to recognize his brother so much because of his weak family affection on weekdays? However, speaking of which, Xiao Yuzhan doesn't seem to be wrong with saying that his brother, he was originally a descendant of the Xiao family and older than Xiao Yuzhan, and in terms of kinship, he is really his brother, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Shao Xi didn't think too much about this matter, he just wanted to know if Xiao Changyi would end up handing over Xiao Yuzhi to Xiao Yuming for disposal as he expected.
I want to know how Xiao Yuming will deal with Xiao Yuzhi in the end, and I hope that this prince will not be as submissive and soft-hearted as he usually shows in this kind of key matter.
Otherwise, Shao Xi would be disappointed in him. Whether Fengjiazhuang's revenge ten years ago can be avenged now depends on the means of this prince.
It will take some time for this matter to come to an end, and all Shao Xi can do now is wait. The carriage came all the way to the gate of the Egret Academy, and Shao Xi wore an official robe and attracted the attention of all the students in the academy as soon as he entered the academy.
When many people saw that it was Shao Xi, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet, after all, Shao Xi had the identity of an uncle in front of most of the protégés.
Shao Xi greeted each other with his protégés and gentlemen along the way, and finally came to Bai Dinggong's study in the backyard.
Now that the paper mill and printing room in the academy have long been on the right track, the two old gentlemen, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai, do not have to supervise and work day and night as before, otherwise the "Treatise on the Governance of the World" would not have been completed and published so quickly.
At present, this work has been widely circulated in the city of Daliang in Kyoto, and many scholars have rushed to Shao Xi's Yuyan Book Company to buy this book, in order to learn the real theory of governing the world.
It is precisely because of the bookstore founded by Shao Xi that Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai are more famous in the academic world than before.
Presumably, it won't be long before the literati and writers of the entire Jingyuan Empire will have a copy of "The Theory of Governing the World", and at that time, the reputation of these two old gentlemen will be widely praised in the world.
As soon as he walked to the door of Bai Dinggong's study, he saw Du Wenqi coming out of the study, presumably Bai Dinggong called him to the study to arrange something.
As soon as Du Wenqi went out, he was taking a look at Shao Xi, and now he was not as arrogant as before facing Shao Xi, you must know that Shao Xi is now an official of the Sipin Imperial Court, and his status in the academy has long been far better than him.
The difficulties and cynicism against Shao Xi at the beginning have now become a well-known black material about Du Wenqi's past in Egret Academy.
Seeing Shao Xi at this time, Du Wenqi had already put down his body and hurriedly came to Shao Xi to give a salute. Said politely: "It turns out that the junior brother is here, and the junior brother is sent to Nanzhao on the order of the saint, and this is half a year, but the two old gentlemen are talking about you every day, I don't know how the junior brother is doing recently?" When did you return to Kyoto? "It is said that he does not hit smiling people, although Du Wenqi used to make things difficult for him in every way at the beginning, but now that he has put down his face and faced himself so politely, Shao Xi is not a stingy person.
He returned the salute and said, "Hello Senior Brother Du! I just returned to Kyoto yesterday, and I entered the palace early this morning, and I rushed over to greet my teacher and Mr. Liu without even changing my clothes, and I had to bother Senior Brother Du to report to my junior brother. Du Wenqi was a little flattered when he saw that Shao Xi was also so polite to him.
According to his thoughts, if Shao Xi doesn't clean him up now, it will be polite to find trouble with him, but he doesn't want Shao Xi to be a senior brother to him now, so he screams behind him, which makes him feel that what he did to Shao Xi before is a bit excessive.
So he hurriedly replied: "You and my senior brother, what else do you say about bothering or not bothering?" I'm going to tell the two gentlemen, they will be glad to know that you're back, so please wait. After speaking, Du Wenqi turned around and entered the study again.
Just a moment later, it was not only Du Wenqi who came out of the study, but Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai followed out of the study.
As soon as he saw Shao Xi, Bai Dinggong pulled him over, looking up and down with joy and excitement in his eyes.
said excitedly: "You have been walking for half a year, it seems that you have grown taller again, and your body has become stronger!" Do you know how Mr. Liu and I have missed you for half a year?
"The two of us often mentioned you when we were working on the "Treatise on the Governing of the World", if you were there at the time, I would have given us some more suggestions, maybe this book would have been more perfect." Liu Xingzhai took over the conversation on the side and said: "This kid was ordered by the Holy Lord to send an envoy to Nanzhao, and he also sought peace for the people of the Jingyuan Empire and the people of the world.
"Besides, this kid is back, and our "Governing the World" can still be revised! Don't talk outside the door, go to the room and talk. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Come into the room, talk to the two of us, what new things you have seen along the way to Nanzhao? Do you have any new ideas about the things in this world? After speaking, the two old gentlemen pulled Shao Xi into the study and left Du Wenqi outside the door.
Du Wenqi sighed, turned around and left with a lonely face, he couldn't imagine that such a young student who was troubled by himself half a year ago would now have a status far above him in the academy.
I have to say that I, a person who has sat in the study hall and read thousands of books, is still not as good as Shao Xi, a person who has traveled thousands of miles.
After entering the room and saluting and greeting, Shao Xi inquired about the recent operation of the paper mill and printing room and the bookstore.
I saw Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai with a smug look on their faces, and it could be seen that the two of them had managed these properties very well during this time.
Bai Dinggong said to Shao Xi with a smile on his face: "Shao Xi, do you know that you have opened this paper mill, printing room and Yuyan Bookstore, and now it has become a gospel for all the scholars in Daliang City, Kyoto.
Not only can more people afford to read and write, but also because the establishment of the bookstore has enabled the world's articles to be widely circulated among readers, so that more people can understand the world's major events, and more ordinary people can understand the principle of cultivating the mind and cultivating virtue.
"In the future, if your industry is spread all over every place in the Jingyuan Dynasty, the people of the world will be able to know reason and virtue, and there will be fewer disputes in this world since then, which is to lay the foundation for the peace and tranquility of the world, and you can be said to be immeasurably meritorious!" Liu Xingzhai was also very excited at this time, although he felt that Shao Xi was quite talented and had his own unique views on the theory of governing the world, but he did not expect that everything Shao Xi did would play such an important role in the spread of the theory of governing the world.
At first, he thought that Shao Xi was just helping to spread the doctrine while seeking some practical benefits for himself, but now it seems that money is still secondary, and all this Shao Xi does is a move that can really influence the world and future generations.
At this time, he realized that he had misunderstood Shao Xi at the beginning. But in fact, he didn't know that Shao Xi's purpose was really to make money, but he just seized the business opportunity that the world's articles and academic theories were not widely circulated.
However, I have to say that the final result is still good, and this can be regarded as fame and fortune for Shao Xi.
"Shao Xi! The old man is a little envious of your teacher now, and he actually has a protégé like you, which really makes the old man a little red! I don't know if it's appropriate for the old man to accept you as a protégé now? ”
"Of course not! Shao Xi is my inner protégé, and now you actually rob my student in front of me, isn't it that I planted trees and you harvested fruits? You old guy is so inauthentic? Bai Ding Gong saw that Liu Xingzhai began to play Shao Xi's idea, so he immediately quit.
Liu Xingzhai saw that Bai Dinggong was anxious with him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained to Bai Dinggong with a smile: "Dinggong, don't be excited, the old man said that he would accept Shao Xi as his protégé, and it doesn't mean that Shao Xi will no longer be your protégé from now on."
"Now that you and I have co-authored the "Theory of Governing the World", the doctrines of our two families have become one, and there is naturally no need to teach students separately in the future.
"So that all the students' protégés are students of you and me, what's wrong with that? Now that we have let go of our original obsession, there is naturally no need for any school disputes.
"So, why can't Shao Xi become the protégé of you and me? Wouldn't it be better to work together for the benefit of the people of the world? The words made Bai Dinggong fall into deep thought, and he had to admit that Liu Xingzhai's suggestion did make Bai Dinggong feel very reasonable.
Now that we have let go of the original disputes, if we can really achieve mutual tolerance, it is indeed a feasible way to teach together.
So Bai Dinggong turned his head to look at Shao Xi, wanting to see what his opinion was. Shao Xi nodded and said: "I agree with Mr. Liu's suggestion, for the way of learning, we should not stick to the views of the school, but should embrace the strengths of hundreds of schools with an inclusive heart, complement each other's shortcomings, and improve each other."
"In fact, in the final analysis, the theories of various schools of thought will eventually converge to the same, you have me, I have you, and there is no distinction between each other! Only by merging with each other can we finally achieve perfection, and all the students who inherit the lessons taught by the two old gentlemen are the protégés of the two gentlemen. Bai Dinggong seemed to have an understanding after listening to Shao Xi's words, stroked his beard and said slowly: "You are indeed good! It seems that the teacher has not let go of his obsession in his heart, since this is the case, the teacher agrees that you will worship Mr. Liu as the teacher, and you will be the protégé of the two of us from then on. "It's not the point of being a student, the point is that in the future, Yuyan Hall will have these two celebrities in charge, and it will become the best school in Daliang City.
