The first year of Yingwu, Luoyang

In late autumn, the climate is still a little hot, some local drought, the year is much better than five years ago, and there are still a few rains.

On the outskirts of the city, the sun shines on the newly renovated official road, although it is smooth, but the overcrowded flow of people and vehicles still stirs up sand and dust, and at the same time gives birth to tea shops along the road.

Some of the high-end liquor shops are run by the post station, which are generally simple sheds set up by private households, boiling herbal tea and rice milk, which are good products to quench thirst.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy riding a green donkey seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking around at the sun, which shone on the earth and shrouded the nearby cities and villages......

At this time, it is close to noon, and there is a mist in the smoke in the distance, which gives people a sense of stability in the silence - the breath of peace and prosperity!

The young man smiled, turned over the green donkey in the tea shed where two five-baht coins were hung as wind chimes, ordered a cup of coarse tea to boil water, drank it to moisten his throat, and threw down a few copper coins, and his voice was clear: "May I ask my uncle, Tai Academy is nearby?"

"Do you mean that the empire is too learned?" The shopkeeper's Jizhou accent was a little muddy, he looked at the Taoist clothes on the young man's body, and pointed to the west with a smile: "Walk all the way along the Liuyin River embankment, and you will arrive in twenty miles." ”

At this time, in the passing convoy, the curtain on the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, his eyes swept over the shoddy tea in the other party's hand, and his voice was soft: "Look at your age, you are a freshman in Tai Academy, right? The school will start in September, but your report is a little late......

"My uncle died of illness, and he returned to Jingzhou in Xia Fuling, and his one-year mourning was just over. The young man said truthfully, looking at the young man, his eyes were gentle: "Under the surname Zhuge , a single name is a bright word, dare to ask Brother Tai?"

"A year after his death, Jingbei Zhuge Family?Could your uncle be Zhuge Xuan, the former minister of the Qiandi Mansion?" The young man's eyes flashed, he keenly judged the value of the other party, put away the arrogance he had just now, and said sincerely: "Just call me Sima Yi, I am a student of the Taixue Affiliated College, and I will be an official Taixue student next year, what grade are you, Zhuge Junior?"

"I'm in the fourth grade, which is a full-time student. Zhuge Liang stepped on the horse and marched side by side with the other party, but there was a trace of strangeness in his heart, when he and his uncle drove Xuchang, he heard this person talk about this person.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already practiced a little, and glanced at Sima Yi, but when he saw that his life was long and faintly noble, he couldn't see the details, and his heart couldn't help but move, I don't know why, and there was a trace of inexplicable disgust in his heart, so he secretly examined it carefully.

"......" Sima Yi was speechless, his instinctive reaction was disbelief, and after thinking quickly, he found that he had no impression of this person in the past three years, but seeing that the other party was not a person who was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but stroke his palm and say, "I guess Brother Zhuge transferred from Jingzhou Academy?"

Zhuge Liang touched the "Yunshui Ji Tu" in his arms, and smiled slightly: "This year is indeed in Jingzhou Academy, my student status has been hanging in the Imperial Taixue Academy, or is it ...... when the Taoist Academy was first established in Xuchang."

"The Daoist Academy that just moved here this year, are you a magician?" Sima Yi frowned, a trace of jealousy arose in his heart, and asked pretending to be curious: "I think of some rumors, you magicians will really call for wind and rain, break the army in the formation, and continue to live with miraculous feats?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, they are all people who are good at observing words and feelings, and no one can hide it from anyone, but with the fourth layer of qi refining in his body, he is even better, and he can see some of the other party's temperament in a few words, and he doesn't like it very much in his heart, and it is impossible to leak the situation of this hospital.

At this time, he casually said a few perfunctory words, and said goodbye: "Brother Sima, I have to rush to report to the dean, and I will see you next time." ”

"Oh, next time, please drink with you......" Sima Yi smiled and waved his hand, hoping that this person would ride away on a donkey.

As soon as Zhuge Liang disappeared from his field of vision, Sima Yi's face became gloomy: "This person seems to know me, but I don't know this person, let me check his details......"

"There is also this mysterious Taoist academy recently, and now I understand more and more that Cheng Dù is valued today, check what conditions are needed to transfer in!"

"Yes, young master!" several of the attendants bowed in response, and their attitudes were extremely respectful.

This young master Sima has been extraordinary since he was a child, and he emerged four years ago to help his family stand on the right side, and even received the summons and encouragement of today, and is now destined to be the future head of the family.

The continuation, glory, and future of the whole clan are pinned on him, which is not comparable to ordinary young scholars.

The sun is gradually slanting westward, the autumn breeze is blowing, the speed of the green donkey walking on the river embankment is also slow, and when Zhuge Liang arrived at Taixue, it was almost evening.

The afterglow of the sunset hangs in the sky, the gold is dyed on the surface of the river, sparkling, and the refraction is reflected on the ancient city on the opposite bank, every wall, brick and stone are condensed with green intentions, and the Luoshui meanders through, and then not far to the north is the Yellow River, here is the place where it is rumored that the Fuxi River map and the Luoshu water come out of the water, the long history and thick luck are intertwined here, and the ancient capital that has not fallen for thousands of years has been achieved.

This is Luoyang.

The south of the city is a large number of official ceremonial buildings, including Lingtai, Mingtang, Taixue are all built here, it is the time when the students are out of school one after another, under the background of the bustling flow of people, you can see 46 white marble monuments standing tall, magnificent and majestic, and the literary atmosphere is like the sea.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, his little face filled with happiness.

He has been familiar with the classics since he was a child, and knows that this is the large-scale stone inscription stele forest presided over by Zuo Zhonglang Cai Yong - "Xiping Stone Scripture", which engraved the "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Lu Shi", "Etiquette", "Ram Biography", "Analects", "Spring and Autumn", seven canons, a total of 200,911 characters.

No matter day or night, there is a kind of red literary qi rushing into the sky, representing the crystallization of the essence of civilization in history, which was originally to be destroyed by Dong Zhuo's order and Taixue.

Fortunately, Shangxing soldiers saved Luoyang, and also saved a series of buildings with special history and significance, such as Gaozu Liu Bang Temple, Lingtai, Taixue, Xiping Stone Scripture, Fu Library Library, and Shaofu General as a Supervisor.

When I went in to sign up, I didn't see the dean of the hospital, and a Confucian teacher in the past handled the admission procedures for him, only to hear him chatter: "The dean was invited by the Queen Mother again, and it is said that he is asking for the benefit of Taoism, tsk......"

Zhuge Liang glanced at this doctor of the Five Classics and knew that this was related to this year's literary disputes.

Since ancient times, the strong dynasty is both civil and military, and today's martial arts are needless to say, and it is not an exaggeration to turn the tide, but it seems to be to pave the way for public opinion on the throne, and there are many literary actions this year, not only to expand Taixue, establish the National Library, renovate the old stargazing platform on the spiritual platform, but also rebuild official schools in various counties.

The imperial court invited scholars who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests to come out as professors, and did not stick to the ancient and modern literary schools, and even did not restrict the Legalists and Mohists from other Confucianism, which attracted some poor children who were excluded from the mainstream.

This is not a big deal for the modern literary school, which pursues secularism and take-it-or-leave-it, but they are now non-mainstream.

For the Confucianism of the ancient literary school that pursues a unified chapter and canon, the new emperor's practice of quoting scholars outside the Five Classics is intolerable, and many doctors of the Five Classics have written articles accusing the emperor of following the Qin law, and some people even want to ask Lu Zhi, the old scholar, to come forward, but Lu Zhi knocked his head with a cane and blasted out of the door.

It can be seen that under the general atmosphere of people's stability, the internal pattern of Kyushu is becoming stable, and some countercurrents in the literary world are only small splashes in the torrent of ethnic fortunes after all, and they cannot shake the emperor's status in the hearts of the people.

The Han style has a wide range of instruments, and when the Luoyang court heard about this kind of thing, they just laughed it off and punished the unlucky guy for a long time.

How can others think clearly, Zhuge Liang himself has no heart to participate, and thinks: "It is better to cultivate more by yourself with this idle time, in order to participate in the creation, look up to heaven and earth, and be rational in one mind, and then bow down to the world, leading the torrent of the Han Dynasty to climb to the peak, and share the eternal life, wouldn't it be happy!"

It wasn't until he entered the independent bedroom arranged for him that he rested for a while, unfolded his palm, and the white aura condensed at the tips of his fingers, unsealed a message disk, and began to browse the latest information inside the Taoist Academy.

In a bunch of cultivation questions from younger students and sisters, look for the questions you are interested in, and finally mark your own answers behind a question that goes deep into the sidelines.

When the tray was closed, Yu smoothed the name of the questioner...... Pang Tong?

Zhuge Liang shook his head, always feeling that the name was a little impressive, but he didn't remember this person, or which Taoist magazine he had read it.

"The world has changed......

Zhuge Liang knew this as early as the age of eleven.

That time, my uncle took him to a banquet and presented a copy of "Yunshui Jitu" today.

By chance, he cherished and studied this book, as if he had a natural adaptation to the Dao, and was hungry and thirsty to absorb the knowledge inside.

Every day I kept trying, summarizing, and accumulating, and in only four years, I reached the fourth level of Qi training, and I was only one step away from the opening up of the spiritual pool, but I couldn't break through it when I encountered a chasm.

He pondered, maybe this was because his luck and spiritual power were not enough to succeed.

"The conditions for leaving Shuifu for internship are insufficient, or going to the army for a period of time to experience it, it is easier to accumulate luck and accelerate the accumulation of spiritual energy......" This fifteen-year-old boy, although he lost his uncle's official channel and stayed in the countryside for a long time, but he had the exclusive news disk of the students of the Taoist Academy, and based on the information he obtained, he was still able to make some judgments, so as soon as his brother Zhuge Jin came to summon him, he immediately set off for the waterway.

Day and night, only halfway I heard the sensational news that King Ying was called the emperor, I was afraid that things would change, so I hurried to Luoyang in a hurry, and the calm atmosphere made Zhuge Liang breathe a sigh of relief.

"No matter what, no one can stop Hande Sanxing...... The third time is a very important meaning......"

"This is the fifteenth day of the emperor's reign, Luoyang is calm, the world is calm, this transition is smooth, I have to admire today's judgment of timing......"
