Xi Siming, a native of Hanzhou, came all the way to study at Bailu Academy in Xizhou three months ago.

It may be difficult to understand this, but it needs to be explained in detail here.

Confucianism is not as solipsistic as ancient China on earth, but it is also one of the three great schools in this world, not only on a par with Buddhism and Taoism on the rivers and lakes, but also has a large number of fans in the court and the family because the doctrine caters to the rulers.

Of course, the relatively infighting Confucianism can be placed alongside Buddhism and Taoism because they have Austrian aid in the court and in the family.

However, when the doctrine is prominent, the number of people will naturally increase, and the number of people will naturally increase, and the number of contradictory factions will naturally increase. Just like the three Buddhist temples stand in Daxuan, Beiyao and the Western Regions further west than Xizhou. The two major academies of Confucianism are also Hanzhou in Daxuan and Yanzhou in Beiyao.

Although both originated from Confucius, the source of Confucianism, there were obvious academic differences as early as the Luo Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, but at that time they were still in the same country, and they also had some incense with each other, and often communicated with each other, so they were quite friendly.

But when the Zhou Dynasty fell, Daxuan ascended the throne, and Beiyao took the opportunity to seize Yanzhou, things changed substantially.

Originally, the people of Yanzhou also regarded the northerners as barbarians, and the Confucian scholars of the Yanzhou Xiubi Academy were unwilling to follow the leadership of the Ming family, not only led the local military and civilians to resist strongly, but even moved the idea of abandoning the hometown of the Millennium Academy and retreating south at the most critical time.

But at that moment, they were stabbed in the back.

Confucianism did not keep a certain distance from the rulers like Buddhism and Taoism, but actively entered the world according to the teachings of the master and applied what he had learned. Therefore, the Jingde Academy, which had already reached an agreement with the founding emperor of the Xuan Dynasty to assist the Feng clan in the struggle for the world, did not want to let another Confucian force join the future imperial court, so when the Xiuwei Academy was badly injured and was about to retreat, it blocked their retreat under the pretext of preventing the barbarians from going north.

And at the same time, there were a large number of rumors on the rivers and lakes that the Confucian scholars of the Debate Academy had no character and surrendered to the barbarians.

At that time, the Cultivation Academy was in short supply, and there were no celestial beings in charge, and the most powerful ones were only the two outer god peaks, and they were both dying, and Gu both died on the battlefield fighting against the Beiyao army. At this time, I heard another academy of the same sect and origin spreading rumors like this, and most of the colleges in the south that did not know the truth also criticized their own families, and the morale of the students dropped to the bottom.

The students studying in Yanzhou are basically northerners, and many people's hometowns are also occupied by the Beiyao army that took advantage of the battle of the Xuan Dynasty and Zhou to expand southward, and they are already worried about their hometowns. At this time, he was despised by his colleagues in the south, and he couldn't help but think of other thoughts in frustration.

And when the dean of the Academy was a young man temporarily appointed after the death of the previous dean, who was already on the third rank of the god at the age of thirty, and was as knowledgeable as the great Confucian, how could he endure such an insult.

When he confronted Beiyao, he found that the other party had already secretly learned the culture of the Central Plains, and he was no longer the kind of barbarian who ate meat and drank blood in the hearts of the Central Plains people. Not only did the leader of the Ming family have the appearance of a king, but even the shrewdness and ability of the civil and military officials under him were not inferior to Zhou Xuan.

In addition, Ming Xuan, the leader of Beiyao at that time, also hoped that his subordinates could have a academy standing at the pinnacle of Confucianism to confront the Southern Dynasty, and invited him to show goodwill in every way, so this young man really led most of the students of the academy to vote for Beiyao in a fit of anger.

And because the hometowns of these students are basically under the rule of Beiyao, there is almost no resistance from the academy, and those Hongconfucians, on the one hand, do not have the strong personality charm of this acting dean to win the hearts of scholars, on the other hand, they also feel that even if they go back to the Southern Dynasty, they will not be able to compete for the Jingde Academy that united with Daxuan early, so it is better to do a career in Beiyao, a new country that is extremely eager for education, and it will be a smooth sail.

So the two smoothly merged, and in order to show his thirst for talent, Ming Xuan almost made the entire students of the Debate Academy official, and treated their relatives and families well, and did not allow the army under his command to harass the place. The Xiu Debate Academy also reciprocated the favor by helping Beiyao train a large number of lower-level officials who met the requirements, allowing them to quickly consolidate the territory they had laid during the time of the Zhou Xuan War, and at the same time made great contributions to stabilizing the place. Later, the six great families of Beiyao were able to rise quickly to compete with the upstarts of the Xuan Dynasty because of the guidance of the Xiubi Academy.

When the Xuan Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and drove the remnants to Dongyi, and wanted to look north complacently, they were dumbfounded to find that the several states occupied by Beiyao in the north had been turned into an iron bucket array, and there was no room for them to interfere anymore. And the war with the Great Zhou is also a war that the country is tired and the people are tired, not to mention that if you go to compete with the fierce Beiyao army, it will be good if the other party does not fight.

Not to mention the dispute between the two countries, just between the Xiu Debate Academy and the Jingde Academy, it has become a fire and water, although the literary style in the south is at its peak, and the disciples of the Jingde Academy who dominate the vast majority of the academies in the south are higher in both quantity and quality than the Xiu Debate Academy trapped in the barbarian country, but after all, they are also the descendants of Confucius, and they have two divine weapons used by the master to suppress luck, so it took a hundred years to finally recover with the support of the Beiyao Imperial Court.

In addition, there were many talents later, and the outer gods and heavenly beings emerged in an endless stream, which was not inferior to the Jingde Academy of the same era. A hundred years after the founding of the Great Xuan Beiyao Kingdom, the battle between the two academies became the most thrilling battle of the era.

The two major academies have been fighting intermittently for five hundred years, and many small academies have also been involved in it because of the battle of positions, and the death of two celestials, the pinnacle of double-digit outer gods, and countless ordinary outer gods, innate and acquired, almost all of them have been knocked out of the ranks of the top sects.

In the end, more than 200 years ago, they found that this would not work, and that Confucianism would be finished if they continued to fight, so they let Buddhism and Taoism see the joke, and only then shook hands and made peace under the leadership of two far-sighted deans.

It's a pity that after all, it is difficult to break the mirror, even the students of the academy who are still alive today have not experienced that era, and the students of the two academies have served in the two countries, but the history has been written clearly, and the two can never return to the original era of mutual exchange. Even now, when the Confucian rivers and lakes of the two sides meet, they will compete one or two, but they will no longer fight each other for life and death.

。。。。。。

The story of the two academies will not be detailed for the time being, let's talk about Xi Siming, as a native of Hanzhou, even if he can't worship the famous Jingde Academy because of his low qualifications, but since Hanzhou is a Wenzong resort, there are countless natural academies, he can always find a suitable place to study, why go to Xizhou, which is known as a cultural desert?

You must know that Xizhou is close to the Western Regions and the Great Desert, and is the westernmost state of the Xuan Dynasty, and it is also the largest state in terms of area. It's a pity that it is too prominent to the west, and it is too far away from the Central Plains. In addition, the population is sparse, the environment is harsh, and the area of land suitable for cultivation is small, so it is also a wild land in the eyes of the Central Plains people.

And there is only one top-level sect in the entire Nuoda Xizhou, the Broken Sword Pavilion, and there are only a few second-rate sects in the surrounding states at most, which is not worth mentioning compared to the Central Plains.

The White Deer Academy, where Xi Siming defected, has a good reputation in nearby states and is a holy place that Confucian students yearn for. But in the eyes of the people of Hanzhou, it is not even second-rate, not to mention the collection of books in the academy and the knowledge of the gentleman, just the dean is respectful and does not disobey, and only the cultivation that is not in the second tier of the outer gods makes people disdainful. Moreover, there has been no world-famous Confucianism here in the past thousand years, and even when you enter the court, you can only mix in the middle and low levels, which is almost a remote place that can no longer be remote.

Xi Siming is less than thirty this year, and his cultivation as a congenital triple heaven is not eye-catching, but his Confucian knowledge is very profound. More importantly, he writes particularly well on his policies, his eloquence is also very bright, and he has unique insights on governing the country and the people, and has been praised by many college gentlemen in Hanzhou.

Generally, this kind of person will choose to enter the court as an official, as long as the ability is sufficient, he can get the support of Jingde Academy, and the major families will also win over these Confucian students with real talents and hard work to expand their own power. In short, the future is great, but he chose to go here, obviously there are some unknown tricks.

It's a pity that he was tight-lipped about his previous affairs, just saying that he had studied and listened to a first-class academy in Hanzhou, second only to Jingde Academy, and even if he asked about other things in person, he shook his head and said nothing.

Jing Buzhi didn't want to take in this student who didn't know the roots, but Xi Siming was really quick-thinking and knowledgeable, although it was not obvious in the kind of place where Confucian seeds were gathered in Hanzhou, but in this place, he immediately stood out from the crowd.

So Mr. Jing wrote a letter to a friend in Hanzhou to ask about Xi Siming. It just so happened that his friend knew Xi Siming, had lectured for him, and admired Xi Siming's views very much, so he praised him in his reply and regretted that he had gone to Xizhou.

A friend went to help Jing Buzhi inquire about Xi Siming, but he didn't find anything immoral. Xi Siming's friends all said that he left suddenly, and they didn't know why. And this friend also gave back what he knew truthfully to Jing Buzhi.

Jing Bu replied, knowing that Xi Siming did not commit crimes in Hanzhou, plus he himself is an external god, and he is a perennial Confucian cultivator, he can see at a glance that Xi Siming is an upright and resolute person, which is very suitable for his vision. Therefore, I didn't care about the reason anymore and let Xi Siming stay, after all, who doesn't have some unspeakable privacy?
